Feeding Family, Feeding America Cookbook By Nancye Tuttle, Staff Writer OGUNQUIT Ogunquit is Allison Hill’s special place. It’s where her parents, Joan and Bob Satter, met on the beach in 1965. It’s where she and her family have summered ever since. And it’s where that clan – dubbed the “Maine Squad” – came to quarantine last spring and summer at the start of the pandemic. “My husband Geoff said
‘let’s go to Maine’ when the quarantine started last March,” Hill said recently from her other home in Atlanta, Georgia. “We piled our teenage daughters, Cristina and Chauncey, and the three dogs into the car and drove 16 hours to Ogunquit. It was the perfect place to get away from the crazy for a bit.” Within weeks, her three nieces, Carlisle, Cate and Caroline Ghirardini, and her parents arrived, too. And the
“quaran-teaming” that started as weeks turned in to months. That special time meant working and going to school remotely. It also resulted in hours of quality family time for puzzles, games and movies, and sharing every meal, making quarantining less lonely. Despite disappointments like canceled sports seasons, prom and graduation, the See COOK page 8...
Free Outdoor “Pop-Up” Professional Ice Dance Programs KITTERY At a time when most live entertainment has been canceled due to the pandemic, a nonprofit professional ice dancing company based in Southern Maine is providing free, safe, outdoor entertainment for the public this winter. Ice Dance International (IDI) has brought together a group of world class skaters who are in New England for a monthlong program that involves Southern Maine recreational departments and outdoor “popup” performances in Portland and beyond. Founder and Artistic Director Douglas Webster, who lives in Kittery, says the performances

Says Webster, “Two new works, Revival, set to the music of Mumford and Sons, Jason Castro, and Audra Mae; and Solstice, a fantasy ice ballet set to a commissioned score by Jonathan Galland; are both designed to lift the spirits during this unprecedented year.” Programs in Maine are being presented by Portland Ovations and will feature Solstice.
ELIOT Kenny Goodwin, from North Berwick, was a WWII Veteran who passed away this fall. Marshwood Middle School is honored that he willed his most cherished military belongings, his Japanese flag and his VFW cover (hat) to the school. Kenny served as a rifleman in the 40th Infantry in WWII in the Pacific and in the Korean War. He was on Panay Island at the time of Japanese surrender during WWII and he often spoke of the weeks that followed the surrender and his experience with the wounded Japanese soldiers. His compassion shone through when he offered a drink of water to a wounded Japanese soldier who gifted him a Japanese flag as

For many years he spoke at Marshwood Middle School at the World War II Day and in 2011 he donated his World War II Victory Medal, his sergeant stripes, and a book on the history of the “185th Infantry Regiment, the 40th Infantry Division in Korea” that he wrote to Marshwood Middle School’s World War II museum. He attended our Veteran’s Day Assembly for the past twenty years. His military treasures are stored in a special cabinet made by Harry Williams, a fellow WWII veteran.

Home is Where the Heart is in 2021
YORK COUNTY For fortunate individuals among us, “home” evokes a sense of safety and security. For others in the community, “home” does not provide the same sense of security. COVID19 has exacerbated the challenges low-income households in York County face. Households are not only struggling to find safe, decent, and affordable shelter, they are struggling with food insecurity.

Grandfather and Granddaughter’s Bond includes a Shared Love of Rotary and Service OGUNQUIT Richard Littlefield is the 91-year-old grandfather of 34-yearold Jyoti Goodwin-Jones (pictured on left) and both are members of the Rotary Club of Ogunquit. They were excited to share their thoughts about what Rotary means to them and how grateful they are to be able to share their commitment to Rotary, community service and each other, by participating as members of the same club. Richard has been a member of the Ogunquit Rotary Club for thirty

years and has been president twice. He reports that, “Joining Rotary was one of the best things I ever did. The social aspects of the club and the focus on helping others is what makes it a wonderful experience.” While Jyoti has technically been a member of the club for a comparatively short two years, she has participated in Rotary activities since she was a little girl by joining her grandparents at meetings and helping with Rotary fundraising activities. When Richard joined the club in 1991 it was all men. The change to include women, including his wife Mary in 1994 (pictured on right), was an important and positive decision. When Mary and Richard brought Jyoti to meetings and activities when she was a little girl, they were so proud to have her there with them. The feeling was mutual, and Jyoti says that now that she is a member, “Being in the Rotary Club with my grandfather has extra special meaning because it’s something that we both love doing and can do together. Going to Rotary meetings together and having that shared experience has really enhanced our relationship.” For Jyoti, being part of community and networking with people who want to give back is important. She has participated in the annual 2-cent sale since she was little and that is her favorite Rotary event. She has also made time to participate in Ogunquitfest and staff the
Rotary table at the beach. Another important event for Jyoti is the Christmas event, usually held at Jonathan’s, where Rotarians serve a meal to senior citizens. “While Christmas can be joyful for a lot of people, it can also be a difficult time for some. It’s a great feeling to provide good food and cheer to seniors in our community during the holiday season” Jyoti explained. The sense of purpose that Richard and Jyoti share was clear in what advice they would give to people considering joining the Ogunquit Rotary Club. Richard’s advice is, “If you are civic minded, love your fellow man, and want to make the world and our community a better place, you should join the Rotary Club of Ogunquit.” Jyoti’s advice is this, “If you are looking for a place where you can have a feeling of belonging and give back to the community, it’s a great organization to join!” For more information about club activities and to read the full interviews, visit www. ogunquitmerotary.org.

Purpose and Meaning
Life is an individual journey but we are all connected. When we understand how multi-dimensional it is, the easier and happier it becomes. Connect with your higher guides for insight and clarity into the meaning of your life. Change your life for the better with a deeper understanding of your true purpose.
Authentic Happiness

Kennebunk Free Library Oil and Indigenous Peoples in the Russian Arctic
The Camden Conference and the Kennebunk Free Library present Laura Henry, Professor of Government at Bowdoin College, on Wednesday, February 3 at 6 p.m. via Zoom. In this talk, Professor Henry examines how oil companies interact with indigenous peoples and when they come into conflict and when they reach agreement. Examining several cases in the Russian Arctic and sub-Arctic, Henry considers how local communities navigate a complex political context in which global rules and standards that prioritize indigenous rights and environmental protection interact with domestic laws and institutions that tend to advantage industry. Research in Russian indigenous communities in the Nenets Autonomous Okrug, the Komi Republic, and on Sakhalin Island also illustrates how expectations based on the Soviet era shape how communities engage extractive industries in order to ensure their economic and social well-being. Visit the library’s website or email kfl @kennebunk.lib.me.us for the Zoom link.

KENNEBUNK The Brick Store Museum, at 117 Main Street in Kennebunk, is proud to announce its first exhibition of 2021: “Cape Porpoise: Archaeology in the Archipelago.” This exhibition is presented in partnership with the Cape Porpoise Archaeological Alliance, of which the museum is a part. The exhibition opens February 2, and will be on view until April 2021. Explore 8,000 years of artifacts uncovered during recent archaeological investigations conducted by the Cape Porpoise Archaeological Alliance (CPAA).

CPAA was formed in 2016 to conduct scientific archaeological research on the islands and intertidal zone of the Cape Porpoise Archipelago. CPAA is a collaboration between the Kennebunkport Conservation Trust and the Brick Store Museum, in which a team of professional archaeologists works with citizen scientists to conduct archaeological surveys and excavations. Over several seasons, a variety of objects have been uncovered from Wabanaki stone tools to early Euroamerican pipe stems, revealing histories of culture and colonization in southern Maine.

But as they watched the news, they saw that many others weren’t as fortunate. Wanting to help, they brainstormed about putting together a book with their favorite, easy-to-make, yet delicious meals. The result is the newly published cookbook “Feeding Family, Feeding America.” Filled with colorful photos and recipes for favorite quarantine dishes (see recipe on right!), plus useful cooking tips, family anecdotes and shoutouts to favorite Ogunquit eateries, it’s a love letter to family togetherness. Benefitting those most in need, 100 percent of the proceeds from each book’s sale goes to the hunger relief organization Feeding America – and that amounts to providing up to 100 meals for each book purchased. A true family effort, three generations created it. Hill, a passionate amateur cook and

Bank Donation Program Supports the Ryan Home Project NORTH BERWICK Partners Bank Training Manager, Lisa Holt is the 56th employee to be chosen for the Bank’s Employee Donation Program to select a non-profit or charity of her choice to receive $500. For the month of November, Holt chose The Ryan Home Project in North Berwick. The Ryan Home Project is a movement to provide housing to homeless within the Maine School Administrative District No. 60 which consists of primarily Noble Middle and High School students who do not have a regular home to return to each day. The Project aims to provide the security of a stable home to all young persons in North Berwick, Berwick and Lebanon, which allows them to work on and develop the appropriate skills and knowledge that they will need as they enter the next phases of their lives. Holt chose this organization because a close college friend of hers is currently serving as the “house family” for The Ryan Home Project. “Not being from the immediate area, I had not heard of the Ryan Home until Meg [Fox] mentioned that she and her family would be moving in,” Holt said. “Having been an educator in a similar demographic I’ve seen firsthand the effect that unstable housing can have on a student in their formative adult years. This is a resource that is very much needed but relies heavily on donations. I am so happy to be able to make such a substantial donation with the help of Partners Bank.” The Project is completely funded by private donations. Funds help support the upkeep of

Health & Fitness York Hospital Issues COVID-19 Testing Updates YORK York Hospital’s partnership with the state of Maine to offer rapid result COVID-19 testing ended December 31, 2020. If you are seeking rapid results COVID-19 testing outside of clinical care (before or after traveling, returning to college, etc.), the state of Maine website has a complete listing of testing sites at www. maine.gov/covid19/restart ingmaine/keepmainehealthy/ testing. The following clinical care pathways for COVID-19 testing are available at York Hospital, with a provider order: Through contacting primary care provider (PCP); through the respiratory clinic in the emergency department; in-person or via telehealth at walk-in care locations. York Hospital offers Aptima SARS-CoV-2 assay, transcription mediated amplification (TMA) tests at its Drive-thru Testing Center, also with a provider order. Similar to the PCR test, the Aptima SARS-CoV-2 assay is CE-marked, complying with the European Union’s New Approach Directives, and is approved in the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, India, and Saudi Arabia. The COVID-19 Drive-thru Testing Center is located at 343 Route 1 in York, available Monday-Friday 8 a.m. - 4 p.m. (no weekend hours). A provider’s order must be in our system before testing. The paperless process requires the provider order to be faxed or emailed BEFORE being tested. When speaking with a provider about being tested, please ask to either fax the order to 207-351-2602, or send via email to covid19.testing@ yorkhospital.com. Don’t have a provider? There are several options: Become a patient at a primary care practice; call 207-7528642 for assistance in finding a provider; visit any of the York Hospital walk-in care locations in Sanford, Wells, or York, to be assisted by one of the providers, either in person or by scheduling a virtual visit to minimize wait time (scroll toward the bottom of the homepage at www.yorkhospital.com). Is an appointment needed for TMA Testing? No. However, pre-register is required by calling 207-351-2000 prior to arrival to ensure that the pro-
vider order is in the system. It’s recommended to provide your email address during registration to expedite receiving test results through the patient portal. The test is a simple, quick, and non-invasive nasal swab, taken while seated in your vehicle, with results typically available in 24-72 hours. Note: If tested after 10:30 a.m. on Friday, results may take 2-4 business days since no test processing is done on weekends. The provider who ordered the test will contact you with the results. Additionally, results can also be found by accessing the York Hospital patient portal at www.yorkhospital.com/patient-portal/. If you already have a patient portal, click on “Hospital Portal” on the right, and simply sign in. Results should appear in 24-48 hours. If you do not currently have a portal, an account must be set up during the regis-
tration process. After providing your email address, within 24 hours you will receive an email invitation confirming the final steps needed to join the portal. Results will arrive after you finish the process, 24-48 hours following the COVID-19 test. Most insurance companies cover COVID-19 testing at 100%. It is recommended that patients contact their insurance company to confirm coverage.

This year, however, the event will take place virtually, welcoming the center’s supporters, volunteers, donors, and families to join them online for a one-hour program celebrating the love and support the center provides for families and children across our Maine community. Typically hosting nearly 700 guests annually, the gala aims to celebrate and grow the center’s mission to provide a safe space, loving peer support, outreach, and education to grieving children, teens, fami-
lies and the community. This year, this support is needed more than ever as the pandemic continues to impact what and how families are grieving. Through this challenging time of increased isolation and loss, the center has striven to be a beacon of hope, continuing to offer programs and outreach in a virtual format until in-person services can be resumed. The 2021 Virtual LOVE Gala will be hosted by former board member Cindy Williams of News Center Maine. It will feature a beautiful video created by board member Diana Nelson and Jason Nelson of Black Fly Media, which focuses on how the center has adapted since March 2020.

open for students in the York Hospital service area who are interested in pursuing a career in medicine and/or healthcare. All applications will be reviewed by the Friends of York Hospital Scholarship Committee, which is comprised of hospital employees and members of the Friends of York Hospital volunteer organization. This impartial selection committee evaluates the applicants’ high school records, standardized test scores, extracurricular activities, including community involvement and work experience, to determine finalists to be interviewed. Finalists are selected largely on the basis of financial need, academic merit and health care objectives. Finalist student interviews will be conducted in April and scholarship awards announced in May. Friends of York Hospital typically award two $3,000 scholarships annually, and several smaller scholarships when additional funds are available, to graduating seniors who plan to have a career in healthcare and who reside within the hospital’s service area (southern York County towns of Kittery,
Eliot, the Berwicks, Sanford, Lebanon, Kennebunk, Wells, Moody, Ogunquit, and York). Scholarship recipients must enroll as full-time students in the upcoming fall and continue in school for the entire academic year in a health care curriculum. Recipients must achieve a 3.0 GPA or higher at the conclusion of their first semester. Upon receiving satisfactory transcripts, the Friends of York Hospital will send a check made payable to the college/university directly to the academic institution.

Nearly $250K for Nursing Homes to Combat COVID-19 WASHINGTON, D.C. U.S. Senators Susan Collins and Angus King announced that 82 Maine nursing homes and nursing facilities have been awarded an additional $247,577 to support increased testing, staffing, and personal protective equipment (PPE) needs. This funding adds to the $10.4 million Senators Collins and King announced in August. This targeted distribution from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Provider Relief Fund is funded through $175 billion included in the bipartisan CARES Act and the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act. “In the midst of this ongoing public health and economic crisis, it is crucial that the residents and staff of our nursing home communities remain supported and protected,” said Senators Collins and King in a joint statement. “This additional funding will provide nursing homes with resources and training to improve infection and sup-
port our health care providers on the front lines.” Under this distribution, nursing homes that demonstrated a significant reduction in COVID-19 related infections and deaths between August and September will be eligible to apply for additional funding to improve quality and infection control in their facilities. This performance-based payment structure will reward nursing homes for keeping new COVID19 infection and mortality rates among residents lower than the communities they serve. To further support nursing homes, HHS also announced the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) will be partnering with America’s nursing homes to create the National Nursing Home COVID Action Network. Through the Network, AHRQ will offer training and mentorship to the approximately 15,400 nursing homes across the country to supplement efforts aimed at protecting residents and staff.

More Than $300K to Protect Children from Internet Crimes WASHINGTON, D.C. U.S. Senators Susan Collins and Angus King announced that the Maine State Police have received a total of $307,604 to prevent, investigate, and prosecute Internet crimes against children. This funding was awarded through the U.S. Department of Justice’s (DOJ) National Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force Program. “Far too many children across the nation are at risk of exploitation online,” said Senators Collins and King in a joint statement. “This funding will support the Maine State Police’s efforts to prevent and respond to online criminals who target our children. We commend the members of the Maine State Police for their unwavering ded-
ication to the safety of Mainers and their efforts to adapt and respond to the changing nature of 21st century crime.” The investment supports state and local law enforcement task forces dedicated to developing responses to online enticement of children by sexual predators, child exploitation, and child obscenity and pornography cases. The ICAC was established by the PROTECT our Children Act of 2008, which was co-sponsored by Senator Collins. In 2017, she joined a bipartisan group of senators in introducing the STOP Enabling Sex Traffickers Act, legislation to ensure that websites such as Backpage.com, which enable sex trafficking, are held liable and brought to justice.

$100,000 Available for Community Forestry Projects in Maine Towns
AUGUSTA Up to $100,000 is available to Maine’s local governments, municipalities, educational institutions, and non-profit organizations through Project Canopy’s community assistance grant program. Project Canopy, Maine’s community forestry program, a program of the Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry’s (DACF) Maine Forest Service, has awarded community forestry project grants totaling more than $600,000 since 2015. “Project Canopy community assistance grants help communities with general maintenance planning, and they allow towns to respond to threats from invasive pests, such as the emerald ash borer,” said Project Canopy Coordinator Jan Ames
Santerre. “We’re on a mission to sustain healthy urban and community forests because they provide a multitude of economic, environmental and social benefits.” “We’re very pleased to have this opportunity to partner with urban forest managers across Maine,” said DACF Commissioner Amanda Beal. “Planting and managing trees provides many tangible benefits to communities and can also demonstrate a positive strategy in our efforts to mitigate climate change, and at the most basic level, they make Maine’s communities more beautiful.” Project Canopy grants are available in two categories: Planning and Education and Tree Planting and Maintenance. Planning and Education
grants have a maximum award of $10,000 and typically range from six to eight thousand dollars, and require a 50-percent cost-share with cash or in-kind services. Planting and maintenance grants have a maximum award of $8,000. To be eligible to apply for a 2021 Project Canopy Assistance Grants, interested applicants must attend a pre-application, online grant workshop, Wednesday, February 3. The workshop will cover grant writing, project development, sustainable community forestry management, and grant administration. Grant applications are due by 5:00 p.m., Friday, March 12.

FINANCE & CAREER $50M in Financial Relief Awarded to Maine Farmers AUGUSTA U.S. Senator Susan Collins announced that Maine farmers have been awarded a total of $50,329,634 to date to help offset the financial harm they have experienced due to COVID-19. The funding is provided through the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program (CFAP), created through the CARES Act, which will provide up to $16 billion in direct payments to deliver relief to America’s farmers. “The supply chain disruptions and restaurant closures caused by the pandemic have placed increasing financial pressure on Maine’s rural farming communities, from
newly founded farms to operations that have been passed down from generation to generation,” said Senator Collins. “These direct payments, which I worked to include in the CARES Act, will help provide some relief. During this difficult time, I will continue to advocate for Maine farmers.” In addition to facilitating the Farmers to Families Food Box program, CFAP is providing vital financial assistance to producers of agricultural commodities who have suffered a five-percent-or-greater price decline due to COVID-19 and face significant additional marketing costs as a result of lower demand, surplus production, and disruptions to

Eligible fruits, vegetables, horticulture, tree nuts, honey, and maple sap are categorized as sales-based commodities; Flat-rate crops either do not meet the five-percent-or-greater national price decline trigger noted above or do not have data available to calculate a price change, but will have CFAP 2 payments calculated based on eligible acres of the crop planted in 2020.

Solar Projects Saved Consumers $68M in Maine STATEWIDE A recent study conducted by the research firm Synapse Energy Economics reviewed extensive energy cost and consumption data in New England from 2014-2019, to look at the impacts of solar power like community and rooftop solar. Synapse found that the addition of local solar energy to New England’s overall power consumption resulted in a series of positive impacts, including: a significant reduction in energy cost, saving consumers in New England $1.1 billion; savings to all Maine consumers of more than $68 million; notable reductions in both climate pollution and health-harming particulates, resulting in a public health savings of $87 million; reduced pres-
sure on existing transmission and production infrastructure; and reduced need for expensive infrastructure upgrades. In the summer of 2019, Maine Governor Janet Mills signed into law LD 1711, a bipartisan bill that brought community solar to Maine. In addition to the substantial savings, local solar projects like community solar may bring other benefits to Maine’s communities including job creation, state and local tax payments, improved grid reliability, reduced costs associated with generating, transmitting, and distributing fossil-fuel based energy, and deferred or lowered infrastructure costs. The full report from Synapse can be found at www.synapse-energy.com.

FINANCE & CAREER Maine Home Values Jumped 13.78% in 2020 AUGUSTA Maine’s residential real estate market fared well during COVID-impacted 2020. Statistics released by the Maine Association of Realtors and Maine Listings show a sales increase of 9.82% for all single-family existing homes sold during 2020. Values rose by double digits during the sales year; the statewide median sales price (MSP) reached $256,000— an increase of 13.78%. The MSP indicates that half of the homes were sold for more and half sold for less. “2020 was a year like no other for residential real estate in Maine,” says Aaron Bolster, Broker/Owner of Allied Realty in Skowhegan and 2021 President of the Maine Association of Realtors. “The sales year ended with historic highs for the number of re-
ported transactions (19,921) and median sales price ($256,000) since we began compiling data more than 20 years ago.” During the month of December only, sales across the state of Maine were up 31.53% compared to December 2019, and the statewide MSP of $270,00 represents an increase of 15.38 from the previous year. Nationally, December 2020 sales of single-family existing homes jumped 22.8% over December 2019. According to the National Association of Realtors, prices were also on the rise last month, with an increase of 13.5% to a national MSP of $314,300. Sales in the regional Northeast climbed 27.4% and the regional MSP reached $362,100 — a jump of 19% comparing December 2020 to December 2019. “Last year began with the
positive momentum from 2019 and then was jolted in the second quarter by the arrival of COVID19,” says Bolster. “Since July, sales demand and volume has been exceptionally strong. Coupled with tight for-sale inventory constraints, most markets have experienced double-digit appreciation for median sold prices.” Added Bolster, “Sustained low mortgage interest rates, Maine’s rural geography and controlled COVID-19 experience relative to the rest of the U.S., plus the emergence of teleworking, and the allure of our beautiful four-season recreational state has created unprecedented demand for residential real estate in Maine. We expect 2021 to remain strong with buyers searching for their new home as a long-term financial investment and a quality-of-life investment.”
Businesses, Nonprofits Benefit from $40M in COVID-19 Relief Grants YORK COUNTY A wide variety of businesses and nonprofits say the government relief money has helped them stay afloat. Southern Maine Planning and Development Commission (SMPDC) was one of the organizations tasked with administering the grants. SMPDC Executive Director Paul Schumacher says his agency has disbursed more than $40 million. The nonpartisan nonprofit funneled relief to businesses in 39 towns throughout York, Cumberland and Oxford Counties. The organization participated in three funding programs: Maine Economic Recovery Grant Program; The Maine Tourism, Hospitality and Retail Recovery Grant Program; and Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Micro-Enterprise Forgivable Loan Program. Schumacher says, “It was extremely gratifying for SMPDC to be able to provide this level of assistance to the businesses in our region. I was struck by the tremendous need for this support and by the determination of the businesses to fight their way through this pandemic. I would also like to thank my staff and our partners at the state level who worked tirelessly to process more than 700 grant applications and over 40 million dollars into the regional economy.”
Pepperrell Cove, a waterfront destination in Kittery Point, says the grant it received through SMPDC is enabling their restaurant, Bistro 1828, to stay open this winter. Says Chef/ Co-owner Henry Ares, “Like most restaurants, the pandemic has forced us to lay off some of our staff. While we are operating at a reduced capacity, the Maine Economic Recovery Grant Program is helping us to continue to serve the community. We also invested in an air filtration system that is proven to fight COVID-19, and that helps diners and staff feel safer.” Another grant recipient is Eastern Trail, the nonprofit that builds and maintains a multiuse trail from Kittery to Casco Bay. Jon Kachmar, Executive Director, says, “We experienced over $100,000 in losses due to COVID-19 and were forced to cancel our largest fundraiser of the year, the Maine LightHouse Ride. The funding we received was a ‘lifeline’ that will help us get back up and running. We ap-
preciated how SMPDC walked us through the process, and were responsive. We ended up in a good place with help from them at a time when outdoor recreation is more important than ever.” Should businesses need an immediate low interest loan, SMPDC administers loans that are also available and easier to attain than bank loans. In addition, the Micro-Enterprise Forgivable Loan Program continues to disburse grants up to $5K, open to low-moderate income business owners who have fewer than six employees. The Small Business Administration and the Treasury Department are reviving the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) five months after its first two rounds of funding ended. All borrowers will need to apply through a participating lender. All applications must be submitted and approved by March 31.

New Round of Stimulus Checks Triggers Scams The new pandemic relief bill includes stimulus checks (or direct deposit) for most Americans, and scammers are already taking advantage of the news. The Better Business Bureau (BBB) is getting reports of con artists claiming that you need to either pay for your stimulus check or provide personal information to receive it. Watch out for scam calls as this new government initiative rolls out. How the Scam Works As always, there are several versions of this con. BBB Scam Tracker has received reports from people contacted through text message, email, and phone calls about the new COVID-19 stimulus checks. According to BBB Scam Tracker reports, watch out for email or text messages instructing you to click a link to “request benefit payments.” The link will take you to an application, which prompts you to enter information in order to “make sure you are getting all the payments owed to you.” Of course, this “application” is really a way to phish for personal details and opens you up to risk of identity theft. In a phone variation, the scammer pretends to be calling from a government agency. The nonprofit that cultivates thriving, sustainable communities and strengthens local governments by leading planning and economic development for 39 member towns in Southern Maine. The organization was founded in 1964 to provide technical expertise to municipalities in York, southern Oxford and Cumberland Counties. SMPDC offers a coordinated effort for land use, smart growth, resource management, environmental sustainability, and transportation planning. For more information, visit www.smpdc.org
con artist insists you need to pay money – or “confirm” your personal information – before you can receive your stimulus check. Other times, scammers claim that you can get additional money or even receive your funds immediately. All you need to do is pay a small “processing fee” through a prepaid debit card. Tips to Spot a Government Imposter Scam: Stay calm. If you receive any of these impostor calls, resisting the urge to act immediately, no matter how dramatic the story is. Scammers try to get you to act before you have a chance to think. Don’t reply directly. Don’t respond to the call, text, or email. If you think the message may be real, find the government agencies’ contact information on their website and contact them directly. Check for look-alikes. Be sure to do your research and see if a government agency or organization actually exists. Scammers often make up names of agencies and/or grants. Do not pay any money for a “free” government grant or program. If you have to pay money to claim a “free” government grant, it is not really free. A real government agency will not ask you to pay an advanced processing fee. For more information about scams in the wake of coronavirus, see www.BBB. org/Coronavirus. If you’ve spotted a scam (whether or not you’ve lost money), report it to BBB.org/ScamTracker. Your report can help others avoid falling victim to scams. Advertise in

~ Pets ~ Safe Haven Humane Society WELLS Want a unique treasure? Visit our Safe Haven Cattail Farm Shop and see our latest raffle item (photo), donated by John and Paul Francis. Paula used to volunteer at Safe Haven and called us recently to see if we would like a gift of love from her and her husband. Paula, a professional miniaturist for 30 years, has donated more than 25 dollhouses to various charitable organizations, including the Ronald McDonald House in New York. She wanted to donate her latest creation to Safe Haven, to help us raise money to pay our vet bills. She had received this dollhouse from a retiree in Weston, MA who had built it for his daughter 45 years ago. It was sadly dilapidated, but Paula rebuilt it into the beautiful dollhouse that now stands proudly at Cattail Farm. It’s big! 45-inches long, 16inches deep and 30-inches tall and even has furnishings! This one-of-a-kind donation will be raffled, but the winner must

pick it up or pay for shipping. Raffle tickets are available now in our shop, and will be available throughout this spring and summer. You really must come and see it firsthand to appreciate the delicate handcrafting of this beautiful work of art. Our sincere thanks to Paula for her generosity! We made the decision to postpone opening our Cat Cafe this spring, due to COVID-19 concerns. Instead, we are going to use this beautiful space to sell furniture. If you have furniture you’d like to donate and can deliver, call Joyce at 207-229-8314. Sorry, we’re not able to pick up.

The shop now has a greeting card and stationery department, featuring seasonal holiday items, so please consider donating your Valentine décor now. Our adoption center/shelter is filling up with kitties being rescued and taken out of harm’s way. Lovely kitties who were homeless and desperate are now being pampered and loved by our wonderful volunteers. View kitties available for adoption online at www.safehavenhumanesociety.org.

...TIPS from page 14 will likely come with a fee, but without a recipient’s signature, the delivery service won’t be able to leave a package exposed on a doorstep. Use your credit card: When making purchases online, use your credit card rather than a debit card or another form of payment. Credit card companies are more likely to offer refunds in the event of theft. Insure valuable items: Purchase delivery insurance to protect merchandise against loss or damage. Contact your local police department if you do become a victim of package theft. Check with online retailers: Many online retailers offer
alternative shipping options. Check to see if they offer a delivery option where you can pick up your items at a delivery hub near you. Check with your employer: Some employers will allow package delivery to your place of work for safe keeping. Ask your neighbors: If you know people that work out of their home or stay at home that live near you, ask them to look out for your deliveries. Remember to always report scammers. If you’ve been the target of a scam or suspect scam activity, report it to authorities to warn others.

Each day will feature a forty-minute-long webinar from one of the participating non-profits, focusing on the animal population its mission serves and how those animals survive – and thrive – in the wintertime.

Dear Computer Lady, I clicked full screen in Excel and lost my menu at the top of the screen. How can I get my menu back? (Has fonts, bold, etc. listed). Please help me, Glennis Dear Glennis, There are two ways to get out of full screen in Excel. First, you should be able to press the “Esc” key on your keyboard. An alternate option would be to right-click on your excel spreadsheet, and click “Exit Full Screen” in the context menu that appears. I hope this helps. Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, After a few minutes of inactivity Windows 10 goes to sleep. Is there a way to adjust something to make it wait at least an hour? John Dear John, I feel your frustration! There is nothing worse than having to log back into your computer every time you turn around, or pause for a short break. Here is how to do that in Windows 10: 1. Click on the start button, then click on the “Settings” gear. 2. Click on the “System” icon, then click on “Power & Sleep” in the left column. 3. In the right column, you can adjust the time before the screen turns off, and the amount of time before the computer goes to sleep. 4. In Windows 10 you don’t have to use an “OK” or “apply” button to save your settings, you just have to close the settings window. Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, Is it possible to set a wi-fi default in Windows? I have numerous offline tasks and prefer to keep wi-fi off until I need it. Thanks, Margaret Dear Margaret, There are a couple ways you can stop your computer
~ Ask The Computer Lady & News ~ from automatically connecting to a wireless network. The first time you connect to a wireless network, there is a check box labeled, “Connect automatically”. Just remove the check mark from that box and your computer will not automatically connect to that connection until you manually connect it. If you already have connections that automatically connect, you will need to go to your control panel, click on “Network and Internet”, then click on “Network and sharing center”. You should see your wifi connections listed. Click on the name of each connection to display a dialog box. Click on the “Wireless Properties” box, and click to remove the check mark in front of “Connect automatically when this network is in range” Click the “OK” button at the bottom of the dialog box, then close the remaining dialog box and the control panel. This will allow you to manually connect when you want to, but leave you unconnected when you first start your computer. I created a video for this answer, you can view it at www. patreon.com/posts/16582527. Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, I am using Outlook for my email and am constantly getting dirty emails in my junk folder which, when I attempt to block them, seem to be coming from my own email address. Would you tell me how I can fix this. I tried blocking them, and just plain deleting them. Nothing works and the number of emails which I receive seem to be increasing? Thank you, Anne Dear Anne, Unfortunately, once your email address gets on those spammers lists, there is no good way to get it off. The fact that they are using your email

She leaves her husband of 35 years, Richard E. Buckley Jr.; two sons, Zachary Buckley and Travis Buckley, both of York; daughter Brittney Moulton and her husband Josh of Berwick; two sisters, Debra L. Morris and her husband David, and Diane L.

Josh Dean, 44 YORK – Josh Dean passed away on Friday, December 11, 2020 at home with his loving family after a courageous battle against gastric cancer. He was born on October 21, 1976 in Leominster, MA, and spent his childhood in Gardner, MA, and York. He graduated from York
High School with the Class of 1995 and later studied graphic arts at the University of Hartford. As a loving husband and father, Josh found great joy and peace exploring the beauty of nature with his wife Ilana and his beautiful daughter Layla. Together the family hiked up mountains, through forests, parks, and waterfalls, and enjoyed the tranquility of sunsets along local beaches and mountaintops. Always the artist, Josh brought along his camera gear wherever he went and took stunning photos of nature in all its finest glory along the way. Josh was a passionate and talented photographer and artist. He loved going on photo excursions solo, or with friends and family in search of unique natural wildlife and landscape scenes. Acadia National Park was one of his favorite adventure destinations where he shot exceptional photos of everything from dramatic ocean views, the sunrise from the top of Mount Cadillac, to secretive owls along the night time trails. His photography was recently included in the book “York Beach through the Eyes of a Child” by Jody and Owen Clark and has also been featured in several other publications and on a couple of album covers for a couple of different musicians. Josh also brought his artistry into his professional career as a master tile setter where he took great pride in owning his own business for over twenty years, sharing his talent by creating beautiful tile works for clients throughout the state of Massachusetts and the seacoast region. In addition to his love for

spending time with his family and taking photos, Josh enjoyed great food and great conversations. He was a real foodie who appreciated trying out new restaurants and interesting meals, especially sushi. Friends and acquaintances alike often remarked on his special ability to create a quick and easy connection with anyone he met. Whether you were a family member, a friend, a client, or some random person he met out and about, he left everyone with a piece of him. He was smart, talented, and loved by all who knew him. Josh is survived by his wife Ilana and daughter Layla of Cape Neddick; mother Jayne Brideau of Leominster, MA; father Jeffrey Dean and stepmother Jean Dean of Fitchburg, MA; brother Jonathon Dean of Hubbardston MA; half-brothers Max and Sam Dean of Fitchburg, MA; half-sister Haley Dean of Malden, MA; aunt Carol and uncle Paul Salacain of York, with whom he was very close; and many other wonderful aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. Josh’s family extends their sincere appreciation to the caregivers at the New England Cancer Center in Kennebunk who helped out during Josh’s challenging cancer treatments, and the many relatives, friends, and community members whom have also reached out and helped during these difficult times. A Celebration of life will be held when the pandemic allows during 2021. Lucas & Eaton Funeral Home in York is assisting with arrangements (www.lucaseatonfuneralhome.com).
Paul Everett Downs, 48 WELLS – Paul Everett Downs, a life-long resident of Wells, died Monday, January 18, 2021 at his residence, surrounded by his family, following a long illness. Paul was born October 23, 1972 in Sanford, son of Russell Paul and Althea Jean (Davis) Downs, and attended Wells schools. Paul was an equipment operator for the family business, Downs Tree Services, until his illness made it difficult for him to continue. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, and joyrides on the slingshot. He loved to go four-wheeling, snowmobiling, mudding, and loved to burn tires with his 454SS, but most of all, he loved spending time with his family and friends. His favorite theme: “We make our own rules as we go!” He was predeceased by his mother Althea J. Downs and two sisters, Sherrie Downs and Peggy Brown. Paul is survived by his loving wife, Lucinda Downs of Wells; daughter Alyssa Downs and companion
Curtis DeLoy of Wells; son Paul Downs Jr. and companion Naomi West-Fortin of Wells; granddaughter, the pride and joy of his life, Paisley Downs; father Russell Downs and companion Debbie Guild of Wells; and sister Crystal Downs of CT. In Paul’s honor of memory, he wanted a Burnout Rally with all his friends and family attending to lay some rubber. The date and time will be determined in the near future. If you would like to donate, please consider The Kidney Foundation, 11921 Rockville Pike, Suite 300, Rockville, MD 20852 in Paul’s memory.

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.

er in the area, died suddenly on January 20, 2021 in Jackman, ME, from injuries suffered in a snowmobile accident. Fred, to those who knew him, was born September 21, 1954 in Bronxville, NY (though he didn’t want anyone to know he was born in New York), the son of Leroy and Elinor Anderson Fournier. He grew up in Turkey, Libya, and Peru before his family settled in Moody in the late 1950s, allowing him to attend and graduate from Wells High School. He went on to Tilton Academy and Berwick Academy before attending Purdue University, earning his degree in Entomology. Fred was a self-employed plumber who made friends of most of his customers and suppliers over the years. A man of many talents and varied interests, he earned his pilot’s license and enjoyed bringing friends and family up in his Cessna, which he flew out of the Sanford Airport. Fred loved to travel, especially visiting our National Parks, and had a trip already planned for April. An outdoorsman, he always looked forward to the change of seasons and the opportunity to hunt, fish, icefish, and go snowmobiling. Fred is predeceased by his father Leroy Fournier. Survivors include his mother Elinor Fournier of Moody; two sisters, Julie Williams, and Rosemary Yandell and husband John, all of Portland, OR; his significant other Suellen Simpson Goodman of Kennebunk; two nieces, Claire Williams and partner Monica Jarmin, and Helen Williams, and great nephews and nieces, Arlo and Luca Jarmin-Williams, and Jules Gutierrez. A private family graveside service will be held, and when all can gather safely, a public celebration will be planned to celebrate Fred’s life. Should friends desire, memorial contributions may be made to the St. Mary’s Ecumenical Food Pantry, 236 Eldridge Road, Wells, ME 04090. To share a memory or leave a message of condolence, please visit Fred’s Book of Memories Page at www.bibberfuneral.com. Arrangements are in care of Bibber Memorial Chapel, 111 Chapel Road, Wells.
Thomas W. Goulet, 50 BERWICK – Thomas W. Goulet, lifelong resident of Berwick, passed away at his home January 21, 2021 after a period of failing health. He was born July 9, 1970 in Dover, NH, the son of Donald and Pamela (Fernald) Goulet, and attended Noble schools. Tom had many entrepreneurial endeavors, most notable was J&D Enterprises which he founded in 1995. Over the years we watched in awe as he excelled with the business and it grew to become a great success. His passion for creation was expressed in his numerous landscape masterpieces and he reveled in the satisfaction of a job well done and the joy it brought his many customers. Tom was a voracious reader, life-long learner with a gifted intellect and great sense of humor. He was always ready for a challenge or a good debate. His natural predilection for oration and problem solving left him with a diverse skillset that was always expanding to fit any situation. One of his most prideful achievements was the house he built for his family that would later become a focal point in the lives of his children and grandchildren whom he loved to no end. He was predeceased by his mother Pamela (Fernald) Elliott, companion of 25 years, Kelly (Lanouette) Lahue, and brotherin-law Chris Macaluso. He will be sorely missed by his father Donald Goulet of Berwick; son Dylon Lahue and daughter Jamie Lahue of Berwick; sister Lisa Macaluso of VA; step-father Tom Elliott; grandchildren, Riley, Lucas, and Erin Lahue; nephew Anthony and niece Madelyn; as well as numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins. A time of visitation will be held Thursday, January 28, 3-6 p.m. at the Johnson Funeral Home, 26 Market Street, North Berwick Following COVID-19 restrictions, masks are required.

Larry Gray Hickman, 83 WELLS – Larry Gray Hickman, Born March 8, 1937 in Kansas City, KS, passed away
peacefully at home in Wells on January 13, 2021, with his loving family at his side. Larry was the youngest of seven children born to Gray F. and Helen Hickman, and moved with his parents to Clovis, NM, in 1951, graduating from Clovis High School. In April 1956 he joined the U.S. Army and served stateside for three years. In 1967 he moved to Dallas, TX, where he began his career in the floral industry, first working for a wholesale florist, studying floral design, and graduating to a floral designer position. His artistic talent was discovered at a young age and grew stronger through his floral design work. In 1970, Larry went to work for Teleflora & Company as a Southwestern Marketing Service Manager and was transferred to Golden, CO. During his travels throughout his territory, he would spend his spare time researching southwestern art, using his artistic talents in his many paintings and wood carvings, many of which are in private collections throughout the United States. In fall of 1975, Larry met Carol (Consiglio) whom he married in February 1976. Together they raised a blended family of seven and moved the family from Colorado to Maine. That family has grown to include 22 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren. He loved getting together in family gatherings and watching the family grow. Many people will remember Larry for his artistic talent, his love of art, and reading. Seldom was he seen without a book or two nearby or a paint brush and carving tool in his hand. In Maine, Larry worked at various jobs and settled into retail, working for various hardware and lumber stores while continuing with his paintings and wood carvings. His last position was at Aubuchon Hardware in Wells. He also worked at the Wells Visitor Center. In addition, Larry volunteered at his local library, and supported them as a member of their board, as well as participating in the St. Mary’s Parish social life. In May 2012, Larry received the honors of the Fourth Degree from the Knights of Columbus. He was predeceased in death by his parents and six siblings, Lee Hickman, Sylvia (Jackson), Shirley (Martin), Louise (Noble), Bill Hickman,
and Bobby Hickman. He is also predeceased by his grandson Jonah Cook of Biddeford. He leaves behind his loving and devoted wife Carol; children, David Hickman and wife Kristina, Mark Hickman and wife Debbie, Daniel Hickman and wife Tammy, John Hickman and wife Pamela, James Fay and wife Stephanie, Debra (Gee) Adams and husband Patrick, and J. Bryan Hickman and wife Deanna. Visiting hours were on Wednesday, January 20, at Bibber Memorial Chapel, 11 Chapel Road, Wells, with a Knights of Columbus service at 7 p.m. A Mass of Christian burial took place on Thursday, January 21. For friends that wish to view Larry’s funeral mass, please visit Larry’s Book of Memories page at www.bibberfuneral.com and click on the link there. Due to the COVID-19 virus, there will be a private burial service at Ocean View Cemetery for family members. Arrangements are in care of Bibber Memorial Chapel, 111 Chapel Road, Wells. The family would like to thank the York Hospital Hospice for their support and care, and encourage memorial contributions to York Hospital Hospice, 127 Long Sands Road, York, ME 03909. • • • • • • • • • •

People and Business Profiles
Senator King Receives First-Ever National Hero Award WASHINGTON, D.C. U.S. Senator Angus King (I-ME), Ranking Member of the Energy and Natural Resources Subcommittee on National Parks, was announced as a recipient of the National Park Foundation (NPF)’s inaugural “Hero” Award for his leadership in passing the Great American Outdoors Act (GAOA) and to honor his lifelong environmental stewardship and advocacy. The GAOA includes the Restore Our Parks Act – a bill led by Senator King – and the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) Permanent Funding Act. The legislative package is among the most impactful conservation laws enacted in the last century and continues Senator King’s career-long focus on conservation efforts, dating back to his work prior to running for elected office through his years as Governor and his service in the Senate. In addition to Senator King, Senators Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.), Rob Portman (R-Ohio), Mark Warner (D-Va.), and NPF Board member John L. Nau III were also named inaugural recipients of the NPF Hero award.
“America’s national parks are some of our nation’s greatest treasures, which have been passed down from generation to generation for more than 100 years. Now, it’s our turn to protect these lands so our children and grandchildren so all can enjoy the magic our country has to offer,” said Senator King. “I’m honored to accept this award alongside my Restore Our Parks Act co-leaders, who worked tirelessly to pass this legislation and do our part to preserve these jewels. But the real reward will come in 100 years, long after we’re gone – when a family will stand on the top of Cadillac Mountain, or on the rim of the Grand Canyon, and make a lifelong memory. They won’t know our names, but they’ll know what we did to protect this unique American inheritance.” “We congratulate Senator King on receiving this well-deserved award,” said David MacDonald, President of Friends of Acadia. “Senator King has been a champion for Acadia and for national parks overall. We’re grateful for his leadership on many issues, but especially for his help in bringing attention
and resources to national park infrastructure needs. Maine is proud to have him as our Senator and as a committed friend to parks everywhere.” The Great American Outdoors Act establishes the “National Park Service Legacy Restoration Fund” to reduce the maintenance backlog by allocating existing revenues the government receives from on and offshore energy development. This funding would come from 50 percent of all revenues that are not otherwise allocated and deposited into the General Treasury not to exceed $1.9 billion each year for the next five years. In addition, the legislation will provide permanent and full funding – $900 million annually – for the LWCF without being subject to federal appropriations; the funding comes directly from the federal government’s revenues from on and offshore energy development. This builds on the John D. Dingell, Jr. Conservation, Management, and Recreation Act, which permanently authorizes the LWCF and was signed into law last year with Senator King’s strong support.
Partners Bank Commits $25,000 to Center for Wildlife CAPE NEDDICK Partners Bank is excited to announce it has made a five year pledge to donate $5,000 per year for a total of $25,000 to the Center for Wildlife’s capital campaign, with naming rights to the children’s play area at the center. This is all part of a $5.5 million effort by the center and its new building to expand upon its services including additional facility space to help meet the service needs of conservation medicine and environmental education, as well as a more than 1,200 square-foot education auditorium, nature trails with boardwalks an outdoor pavilion, intern housing, and so much more. The Center for Wildlife is all privately funded and does not receive financial help from the federal or state government. As of the beginning of September, the center was just $300,000 away from their latest goal. Partners Bank’s SVP, Branch Administrator, Karyn Scharf Morin has had a firsthand look at the rewarding ex-
periences the center provides, having served on its board for 10 years. “I’m so pleased that we will be supporting the center for Wildlife by sponsoring the children’s play area at their new facility. It will be part of the outdoor space that the public can visit to see the animal ambassadors, visit interactive kiosks, and walk wilderness trails with vernal pools,” she said. “It’s so important, especially for kids, to have the opportunity to get close to our local wildlife because it helps to build respect for our wild neighbors and understand the impact we all have on our environment.”
Since its inception more than 33 years ago, the center has treated over 50,000 injured and orphaned wild animals, while also presenting programming to thousands of community members each year. Its vision is to, “instill a sense of understanding, responsibility, and compassion for our natural world, leading to a society connected to nature and empowered to take action.” To learn more about what the Center for Wildlife does or how to get involved, visit www. thecenterfor wildlife.org. If you’d like to donate to the capital campaign, be sure to click on the ‘Capital Campaign’ tab.
MEEA Distributes $100K to Schools YORK COUNTY Schools from all over the state submitted proposals to MEEA’s Mini-Grant for Outdoor Learning Program. The program started with only $30,000 to give away, but through some great network support, MEEA received an additional $70K to distribute to schools. Teachers at Loranger Memorial School and the Marshwood Great Works Schools were recipients of this grant, receiving between $600-$1,500 to support their projects. Teachers this year are stretched incredibly thin due to the restrictions COVID-19 has placed on their classrooms. Fortunately enough, outdoor classrooms provide a break from masks and virtual classes, allowing students to get some fresh air and give their eyes a break from screens. To get students outside, teachers often need extra support to meet pandemic regulations and have successful classes. MEEA hopes that the funding from this program will be able to do exactly that by helping fill the gap between teachers’ plans for outdoor learning and the budget they have available MEEA’s executive director, Olivia Griset said, “At MEEA we are so excited to be able to support the incredible work teachers and schools are doing getting Maine youth outside learning! We are grateful for the generosity of many who helped fund this effort to get needed resources quickly to teachers to take down the barriers to get their students outside learning. Even in such a difficult year for teachers and families, we are seeing so many innovative projects all across the state that are getting youth outside in the fresh air, learning, moving, growing and connecting curriculum to the natural world around them! We know that outdoor learning is an effective response to COVID-19 from a safety perspective and we are excited to see many of the teachers suggesting that they will be incorporating outdoor learning in their teaching well beyond the pandemic. We are very pleased to support outdoor learning in Maine public schools!” The funds from this grant were able to be distributed across the state, supporting schools in Androscoggin, Cumberland, Franklin, Hancock, Kennebec, Knox, Lincoln, Oxford, Penobscot, Piscataquis, Sagadahoc, Somerset, Waldo, and Washing-
ton counties. Individuals teaching at a variety of grade levels applied, achieving a spread of applications from high schools, middle schools, and elementary schools. The teachers that applied are doing incredible things for their students and filling these students’ needs wherever they can. As Maine moves into winter, teachers are recognizing that their students need winter clothing to continue spending time outside. This trend was evident in the applications, as over 30% of teachers sought to use this money to outfit students, knowing that their students might not be able to acquire suitable clothing to continue learning outside. Laura Seaver, a science teacher at Loranger Memorial, expressed her excitement about this opportunity, “As the weather grows cooler, this grant will support an immediate need to keep our students comfortable and excited about getting outside. We will use it to build benches for an outdoor classroom and get snow pants and boots for those kids who don’t have them. Because of COVID19 this year, it’s more important than ever to have kids outside as much as possible and this grant will help make that possible!” Supporting teachers and schools in the pursuit of outdoor learning is a critical piece of MEEA’s mission as the organization strives to enhance and amplify the efforts of individuals and organizations that are building environmental awareness, fostering appreciation and understanding of the environment, and taking action towards creating equitable and resilient communities. MEEA continues to seek impactful partnerships with local communities and organizations during this changing cultural and environmental climate, as the equity-centered environmental work that MEEA creates plays a key role in building an environmentally literate Maine; where all people can engage civically and understand the relationship between their wellbeing and that of their environment.

~ News & Classifieds ~ ...STACY from page 22 Portsmouth Naval Shipyard as an outside machinist for 17 years before retiring in 2000. Chuck was an avid golfer. His love of golf started as a kid. During summer months, he and his brother were caddies at the Cliff Country Club. Chuck got his first hole-in-one at Perry Hollow Golf course in NH. He also loved hunting with friends, and fishing and boating with his son, Chuckie. He is a past Master of the Masons and was a 50 year member of the St. Aspinquid Lodge, York. In his later years, camping with Joy and his beloved dog, Angus, at the Fryeburg Fair was a yearly ritual. He loved to cook, he loved people, and he loved his York community. And he never shied away from a heated debate. A car ride with Chuck always included country music. Chuck is survived by his daughter Lorna with husband Peter Carter; son Chuckie; daughter-in-law Denise Stacy; brother John Stacy with wife Gail; granddaughter Camden Carter and grandson Charles Thacher Carter, to them he was “Poppy”; two stepdaughters, Deborah Beatty from York, and Suzanne McCarron from Dover, NH; stepson Jared Boyce from Biddeford; along with numerous nieces and nephews. A celebration of Chuck’s life will be announced at a later date. Donations can be made in Chuck’s memory to St. Aspinquid Lodge “Angel Fund” at P.O Box 408, York, ME 03909. • • • • • • • • • •
Charles H. Zois, 81 KENNEBUNK – Charles H. Zois, D.D.S., passed away on January 14, 2021 as a result of complications from a stroke suf-
fered August 2015. He was born on October 7, 1939 in Newark, NJ, to Harry Zois and Aurica Sumbasakis. Charles was the younger brother of Nicholas H. Zois (1933-1952). After graduating from the University of Maryland’s Baltimore College of Dental Surgery Dental School (D.D.S) in 1965, he completed a year-long residency in general dentistry at Monmouth Medical Center, Long Branch, N.J. This was followed by a post as House Officer at The Royal London Dental Hospital’s Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, while awaiting his assignment with the U.S. Navy. Charles married Karolyn Karle Kashmiry 1967 and together they moved to a farm in Wells Branch in 1969. That same year he opened his solo practice in general dentistry in South Berwick, (1969-2007). He was clinical staff at Community Dental, Biddeford (2007-2015). He also provided dental care to Cumberland County Jail, Portland (2007–2009), York County Jail, Alfred (2009-2012), and Army Reserve Troops preparing for deployment (2007-2015). His service extended beyond patients as he fostered the education and training of both dental and dental hygiene students in his role of Clinical Instructor for Arizona School of Dentistry, Mesa, AZ (20072015), Tufts University School of Dental Medicine, Boston, MA (2007-2015), University of New England School of Dental School, Portland, ME (20132015). His leadership roles included: Maine State Board of Dental Examiners (2009-2014), Chief Complaint Officer (20122013); North East Regional Board of Dental Examiners (2005-2015), Consultant (20052009), Voting Member (20092015); and Representative for Maine State Dental Board to American Board of Dental Examiners (2013-2015).

Fishermen Feeding Mainers STATEWIDE The pandemic has highlighted many weaknesses within the nation’s food system, but the most glaring to many in Maine was the fact that there are fish in the ocean, fishermen looking to work, and hungry people who are not able to get access to food. In response, MCFA worked with fishermen, seafood processors, the Portland Fish Exchange and with the initial support of an anonymous donor, built a program focused on providing seafood to the food insecure in our communities, while also supporting local fishermen. “A very generous anonymous donor has jump-started this program,” said Mary Hudson the project manager. “Now we are asking for support from our community to hit our goal of donated meals throughout Maine. We’ve seen an incredible outpouring of support thus far, and we are excited to
see the community come together to help us solve this important problem for Maine.” In 2019, over 13% of people in Maine struggled with food insecurity, the highest rate in New England and well over the national average of 11%. With the onset of COVID-19 and the economic fallout that followed, the Good Shepherd Food Bank believes that this year over 250,000 Mainers, roughly 18% of the population, will struggle to get access to food. The value of fish landed in Portland this year is down by an astounding 70% from the fiveyear average. This has forced many fishermen to stay tied to the dock, putting the future of Maine’s working waterfront, and a way of life at risk. “Maine has some of the best seafood in the world which means it often ends up in restaurants. When restaurants had to shut down or greatly reduce
Dental Association, including term as President (1969-2015); Southeast New Hampshire Dental Association (1969-2015). His community activities and other affiliations included: South Berwick Rotary, two terms as President, two times recipient of the Paul Harris Fellowship Award (1969-2015), Arundel Yacht Club (19742005); Kennebunk Rod and Gun Club; New England MG Car Club; NRA (Life Member). Fundraising and volunteer activities included: various local, national and international causes through Rotary, Participant in Doctors with A Heart; Participant in Kimball Health Center Free Dental Clinic in Saco; and participated in many donated dental service programs. Additionally, Charles was a regular donor to Red Cross Blood Drives throughout his life. Charles was an avid student of history including the history, development, and collecting of antique military firearms (U.S. Civil WarWorld War I). He enjoyed country living, animals and sailing. He is survived by his wife Karolyn of Kennebunk; son
Adam N. Zois of Marblehead, MA; daughter Alexandra Zois Yaghoobi and husband Hooman Yaghoobi of Bronxville, NY; and grandchildren Amir Yaghoobi, Zarine Yaghoobi, Jane Zois, and Nicholas Zois. He is also survived by Christ L. Zois, M.D., his life-long friend, cousin, and godfather to son Adam, a brother-in-law Tymoor Kashmiry and Barbara Zois, dear cousin and godmother to daughter Alexandra. He is remembered as a loving husband and father, who treasured his family above all else. He was so very proud of his children and their accomplishments. His kindness, generosity, and jovial spirit touched countless lives. May his memory be a blessing. Charles’ services are private. Should friends desire, memorial contributions may be made to the South Berwick-Eliot Rotary Club, PO Box 11 South Berwick, ME 03908, to support its Rotaplast charity. To share a memory or leave a message of condolence, visit Charles’ Book of Memories Page at www.bibberfuneral.com. Arrangements are in care of Bibber Memorial Chapel, 67 Summer Street, Kennebunk.

their purchasing of fresh seafood, fishermen who caught species like cod, haddock, pollock, and flounder lost their most valuable markets. Groundfish fishermen have been struggling over the past few years as it is, making the crisis of COVID-19 comparatively more impactful on this group – Ben Martens, Executive Director of MCFA. MCFA’s goal is to donate 100,000 meals through the Good Shepherd Food Bank while also paying fishermen a livable wage. Donations can be made through the Maine Coast Fishermen’s Association website at www.mainecoastfishermen.org.

Identify Winter Birds in Backyards Birds flittering around the neighborhood are a common sight during spring and summer, and these welcome guests can be enjoyable to observe as they nest, feed and interact. When the weather cools in fall and winter, many birds seek out warmer climates, but a good number of these feathered friends stick around. Certain birds can be found all winter long across regions of North America. The Great American Bird Count is a program that is run by the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology and the National Audubon Society. Its purpose is to seek the help of volunteer birdwatchers across North America to observe and count all the birds seen in a 15minute interval during a fourday data collection period. This program helps identify birds that are most commonly seen in cold temperatures and study the composition and distribution of the winter bird populations across North America. Birds seen during this time may change from year
to year, though certain species are more likely to be around in the winter months. Northern cardinals are one of the more iconic winter birds. The bright red cardinals are around much of the year but perhaps most noticeable against the snowy, stark landscape of a winter’s day. Cardinals use their bright, powerful bills to crack open seeds and cut through sugary fruits to help them survive the winter. Tree sparrows are largebodied and long-tailed sparrows with gray and reddishbrown streaking along the edges of their feathers. They also wear a bright chestnut colored cap. Despite their name, tree sparrows spend much of their time on the ground feeding. The bird count has unveiled a greater number of tree swallows in recent years. These birds are insectivorous, so milder winters may be contributing to their increased presence. Tufted titmice resemble cardinals in body and head
10,000 Steps for 10,000 Acres YORK The York Parks & Recreation Department is inviting the public to take part in a daily fitness challenge that runs from February 1 to May 1 that will help improve health, while supporting Mount A conservation and education efforts. The Mount Agamenticus Conservation Region consists of more than 10,000 acres and is lo-
cated within an additional 30,000 acre expanse of conservation land in southern Maine. This land is comprised of a rich and unique coastal forest that supports the highest diversity of animal and plant species in all of Maine. The mountain and the surrounding area provide residents with an ideal location for hiking, biking and sightseeing. While most of Southern Maine is heavily devel-
shape, albeit on a smaller scale, but they are pale gray in coloring. These are bold birds who defend territory with scolding calls. Blue jays are common, vibrant birds well known to many people. They are largecrested songbirds with broad, round tails. They have white or light gray feathering on the underside of their bodies with various shades of blue, black and white on the top. A favorite food is acorns, and these birds are often found on forest edges. Their calls are loud and carry long distances. Mourning doves are often heard before seen as their soft cooing often comes from roof rafters and tree branches. These birds have plump bodies and long, tapered necks, with a head that looks particularly small in comparison. They tend to be brown to buff color. When the birds take off for flight, their wings make sharp whistling or
whinnying sounds. American goldfinches are sometimes called the “wild canary” of the Americas. They have distinctive yellow plumage that fades in winter to a palette of buff, brown and gray. They’re small seed-eating birds that often travel in flocks. Birds may need a little help surviving in the winter. Keep fresh, unfrozen water around and supplement food scavenged with peanut butter, suet and nuts. Brush piles, roost boxes or birdhouses can provide needed shelter.
Is
oped, this stretch of conservation land is a natural treasure that will be preserved for the enjoyment of generations to come. Mount A’s trails are for hikers, bikers, and other seasonal activities such as snowshoeing. Select trails are open to equestrians and ATV riders. Registration is on www. runsignup.com with some cool mount a swag for purchase! For more information, visit www. yorkparksandrec.org.
