“Anxiety and the Artist” Podcast Features York’s Glazebrook YORK Former military officer and yoga instructor from York, David Glazebrook, is this week’s guest on “Anxiety and the Artist” podcast. Hosted by stage director Allison Sheff (Smokey Joe’s Café at Ogunquit Playhouse), whose family owns the Candleshop Inn at Short Sands Beach, the episode explores Glazebrook’s experience with PTSD and his journey to healing, as well as ways to manage anger and find peace amidst chaos. The episode is now available to stream on your favorite podcast listening app. David Glazebrook is an

author, yoga instructor, and professional emergency manager. He is a former military

officer with a Bachelors in Sociology, a Master’s in Business, and a Master’s in Homeland Security and Terrorism. After dealing with injuries and PTSD from his military career, David discovered yoga as a way to strengthen and calm his body, mind and soul. He eventually became a yoga instructor and is now the co-owner of Yoga on York. Reflecting on this week’s interview, writer, director and host Sheff says, “My podcast explores artists relationship with anxiety while also offering insight and inspiration. One of the things that helped me mitigate

my own anxiety throughout the past year was practicing yoga on a regular basis. David was one of several teachers I took class with. When I learned about his experience with PTSD, how he struggled with his value and worth after having the one thing that defined him get taken away, it resonated with me. Due to an industrywide shutdown so many artists are struggling with their own identity and worth. I was inspired by how David took his disability and channeled it into creativity and ultimately a second career. He has handled a tremendous amount of adversity with grace and humor.”

Now in its third season, Anxiety and the Artist explores the artist’s relationship with anxiety, while offering insight and inspiration. This season’s focus is on coping during COVID-19, discovering and redefining our identities as artists, and anxiety and isolation in group dynamics. Past guests have included Olivier-nominated actor and advocate Sierra Boggess (The Little Mermaid, The Phantom of the Opera), former dancer turned eating disorder specialist George Livengood (Hello, Dolly!), perSee PODCAST page 5...

Civil War Medal of Honor Recipient Recognized

BERWICK Over 125 years after receiving the Medal of Honor for bravery during the Civil War, Alphonso M. Lunt’s heroism was publicly celebrated during the dedication of a memorial erected in his honor at Berwick’s Veteran’s Memorial Park. Alphonso, who was born in Berwick on September 6,

1837, was a Sergeant in the Union Army and a member of Company F, 38th Massachusetts Infantry during the American Civil War. He was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for his bravery during the first battle of Lexington at Opequan Creek, Virginia September 19, 1864 where at the age of 27, he “carried his flag to the most advanced position where left almost alone close to the enemy lines, he refused their demand to surrender, withdrew at great personal peril and saved his flag”. It would be another 30 years before his medal was awarded on May 10, 1894. Through the initiative, dedication and leadership of eagle scout Jarrett Richard of Berwick Troop 313, Sergeant

Lunt’s heroism is now “etched in stone” for all posterity! Jarrett, a member of Noble High School’s Class of 2021, has been rising through the scout ranks for 11 years and tackled this initiative as his Eagle Scout project. Preceded by fundraising by Jarrett, his family and friends, the effort involved installing lighting, a cement footer, and a granite stone to hold the plaque that bears the image of Alphonso M. Lunt, his medal, and details of his exploits on the battlefield. From start to finish, it took 53 hours and six workdays to complete this project, aided by fellow scouts and supported by the town of Berwick. The granite stone was donated by members of Charles S. Hatch Post #79 and the plaque, also a post donation, was made by Seacoast Printing of South Berwick. Jarrett’s one-of-a-kind Eagle Scout project culminates many years of volunteerism and service to his school, town, and country. The men and women of Post #79 laud and

salute him, one of several Eagle Scouts supported by this post over the years. Jarrett’s civic contribution also serves as a reminder that it is never too late to ensure that the wartime honors and accomplishments of our nation’s veterans are recognized, and that they receive the medals they have earned in time of war, thus ensuring life and liberty in America, land of

~ News ~ Great Thicket National Wildlife Refuge Established in Southern Maine SOUTH BERWICK / BERWICK The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service acquired the first parcel of land in Maine for the Great Thicket National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) with the purchase of a 48-acre forested property in South Berwick and Berwick. “We’re really excited to add another conservation area in southern Maine,” said Karl Stromayer, manager of Rachel Carson NWR and Great Thicket NWR in Maine. “Through Great Thicket National Wildlife Refuge, we’re conserving important habitat that will ensure current and future generations can experience the rich variety of

animals and plants that call these special places home.” The property, acquired on December 28, slopes down to Knights Pond and contains a wooded swamp and streams, providing a diversity of habitats for local wildlife. The Great Works Regional Land Trust, which has conserved over 6,600 acres in southern Maine, helped the Service with the land acquisition. “This success involved the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, a newly established refuge and the local land trust,” said board member Tin Smith. “It could not have happened any other way and is a clear demonstration of the benefits of partnerships.”

There are two refugeacquisition focus areas in Maine, the Berwick-York focus area and the Cape Elizabeth-Scarborough focus area. The Great Thicket NWR is part of a larger landscape effort

375 Celebration Logo Contest! KITTERY In 2022, the Town of Kittery will be celebrating its 375th birthday and the Town of Kittery Celebration Committee will be putting together a years’ long calendar of events, which will begin in October 2021. To kick off the fun, the Committee is rolling out a contest to select the Celebration’s official logo! The 375 Celebration logo will be featured on all marketing materials, the event website and merchandise. Designs must: Be original artwork; Contain no copyrighted material and no clip art; Integrate the following text: “Kittery” and “375”; Be representative of the event theme: Kittery 375Past, Present & Future; Be in SVG format; Be in CMYK color format. The deadline for completed designs is 2 p.m. on Thursday, March 11. Designs can be submitted via email to jpaul@kitterycommunitycenter.org. Logo designs will be judged on a basis of visual appeal (quality and clarity), originality and how

well the logo represents the event theme. Finalists will be selected by the Celebration Committee and the winning logo will be selected by the Kittery community. The Town of Kittery will acquire ownership of the winning logo by assignment of copyright, and the winning designer will disclaim any trademarks and without limitation, all other rights related to the design.

Mental Health Focus Using History KENNEBUNK The Brick Store Museum is embarking on a new interpretation of its historic collections: how archival letters of former citizens can be used to highlight the importance of mental health. The museum is partnering with the Maine Humanities Council to present a unique discussion series, running one Wednesday a month between February and April. Registration is free and open to the public, though limited to 15. The series of virtual discussions (via Zoom) will be grounded in letters and journals from the Brick Store Museum’s collection, and will take place at 6 p.m. on February 24, March 24, and April 21. Each session will fea-

ture three archival texts as well as a companion text, with discussion led by trained facilitators Dr. Libby Bischof and Kartika Wright. Participation is free and all materials are provided. To register, email Cynthia Walker at cwalker@brickstoremuseum. org or call 207-985-4802. This program is a part of the Museum’s “Year of Stories,” which places special focus on what makes us all human: stories and the various ways we can tell them. Throughout the year, the Museum will be presenting programs, recording oral histories, and celebrating the community through events that highlight people (past and present) and their experiences.

York Rotary Delivers Funding to Center for Wildlife CAPE NEDDICK Members of the York Rotary recently delivered funding to the Center for Wildlife which was raised through this year’s annual Turkey Trot 5K. Despite the challenges of trying to host this year’s annual event, they didn’t give up, and runners participated on their own. This funding goes to the center’s work medically treating injured and orphaned wildlife. Photo and details from Facebook.

Senator King Receives Nat. Park Foundation 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 al-

locating 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.

Women’s Club Donates to Local Women’s Charities, Food Banks CAPE NEDDICK The International Women’s Club of New England recently presented contributions to local women’s charities and food banks. The organization is a nonprofit club that has been raising funds and donating to charities that support women and children for nearly 30 years. On January 23, the club virtually presented funds raised from 2020 activities to support: A Company of Girls, which mentors school-age women; In Her Presence, empowering women from various cultures; and Stop Trafficking Us, providing education to counter sex trafficking. All these organizations are centered in Maine.

Sen. Lawrence Now Chair of Energy, Utilities and Technology Committee AUGUSTA Senator Mark Lawrence, D-Eliot, has been appointed to serve as Senate chair of the Joint Standing Committee on Energy, Utilities and Technology for the 130th Maine Legislature.

Tramuto Among Winners of Veterans Leadership Award OGUNQUIT Volunteers of America of Massachusetts (VOAMASS www.voamass.org.), a nonprofit that creates opportunities for individuals through residential and outpatient behavioral health treatment, re-entry for incarcerated offenders, veteran services, and senior living, today announced the winners of its ninth annual Veterans Leadership Awards (VLA), which honor those who have served in the military and those who support them. “VOAMASS is proud to partner with special people and organizations in support of veterans facing challenges such as securing employment, finding housing or gaining access to behavioral health care services,” said Charles Gagnon, President and CEO of VOAMASS. “The Veterans Leadership Awards are

our way to recognize and thank those who have sacrificed for our nation and the individuals and organizations that help and support them in getting the services that they need and deserve, and to which they are entitled.” Sumit Nagpal of Belmont and Donato Tramuto of Ogunquit, are recipients of the Community Partnership Award. Nagpal is CEO and founder of Cherish Health and Tramuto is chairman and founder of Health eVillages. In April of 2020, shortly after the beginning of the pandemic, they came together to monitor and improve the health of formerly homeless veterans at MBVC. These veterans received biosensors to monitor respiration, oxygen levels, temperature, heart rate and EKG, key indicators that could point to a possible COVID19 infection.

Due to the pandemic, the club came up with alternative fundraising activities, such as homemade craft sales, basket raffles, and an annual appeal, raising more funds than expected for the year. After meeting the goals to fund the selected organizations, additional contributions were donated to the N.H. Food Bank and Good Shepherd Food Bank at the end of the year. As they do annually, the club will be selecting several new organizations in February to provide donations to in 2021. Any nonprofit organization supporting women and children interested in applying, or if you would like to join the club, contact Mariene Benoit at 207-251-8430.

The winners were recognized during a special Zoom event in December. While VLA is traditionally a dinner banquet fundraiser that helps support the 650 veterans served by VOAMASS every year, COVID19 restrictions led to a format change. This year’s virtual program included a panel discussion led by former WBUR reporter Fred Thys and leaders from across Massachusetts to discuss the state of housing, employment, and behavioral health services for veterans.

among other topics. “We have a lot on our plate this year,” said Senator Lawrence. “While disparities in access to broadband internet connections have been made even more clear during this pandemic, we have also seen good progress in renewable energy development that invests in Maine’s future and creates jobs. During this session, some of our priorities will include working to ensure Maine households have adequate access to the internet and continuing to support Maine’s renewable energy sector.” Senator Lawrence also will serve on the Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee, which is responsible for issues related to law enforcement, first responders, correctional facilities and officers and more. Lawmakers are assigned to committees by the presiding officers based on their interests, experience and professional background. Joint standing committees are composed of three senators and ten representatives.

Dreaming About A Beautiful Landscape! OGUNQUIT It may be cold and snowy outside, but homeowners in Maine are already dreaming of creating beautiful gardens around their homes when spring arrives. If landscaping success has been hit or miss for you, it may be time to call in a professional landscape designer. Consulting a trusted professional is often the best first step. Why? Because in the long run, hiring a professionally trained landscape designer can cost less than doing it yourself. You’ll get a viable design created right the first time, which will save you the cost of repeated tries at getting it right. A professional landscape designer envisions creative solutions to the most difficult outdoor challenges – problems they’ve more than likely solved before. In addition, a high-quality landscape increases home sale prices. Many feel the first positive impression your landscape makes can help sell a home more quickly-rivaling the

return on a new kitchen or bath. Here are some tips from professional landscape designers to create your dream garden: Consider your space and any “issues” that it has like hiding an air conditioning unit, adding privacy or changing boring views to beautiful ones. A designer sees the problems that you see as well as the ones you don’t, and can offer solutions to create beautiful, functional and earth-friendly landscapes that add enjoyment to your lives; Do your homework. Start making a file of favorite pictures from gardening magazines, and examples of what you’d like for a dream garden.

While not everything might be possible, it will give a landscape designer a visual starting point. Make a list of favorite plants and/or color combinations. Don’t forget about hardSee GARDEN page 21...

FINANCE & CAREER $2.8M for UMaine to Use World’s Largest 3D Printer

WASHINGTON, D.C. U.S. Senators Susan Collins and Angus King announced that the University of Maine has been awarded $2,835,116 to use its polymer 3D printer, the largest in the world, for the precision manufacturing of blades for large wind turbines. This funding was awarded through the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. “T he Un iversit y of Maine remains a leader in additive manufacturing and

wind energy technology, and this funding will harness researchers’ expertise in both areas,” said Senators Collins and King in a joint statement. “We are pleased that the DOE continues to invest in UMaine’s cutting-edge research that helps to support our forest products industry, create good-paying jobs, and strengthen our clean energy economy.” “Innovation in large offshore wind blade technology can currently be a costly and time-intensive process. Molds and tooling for large blades can cost upwards of $10 million and

the 16-20 months it takes to get to market slows down innovation. By combining innovative additive manufacturing processes with bio-based, 100% recyclable feedstocks reinforced with wood, new blade development cycles can be accelerated by at least six months and costs reduced by 25-50%,” said Dr. Habib Dagher, executive director, UMaine Advanced Structures and Composites Center. “I thank Senators Collins and King for their steadfast support of our cutting-edge green energy and materials research programs at the center.”

Tips to Stay Warm and on Budget AUGUSTA Perhaps it’s an electric fireplace. It may be a Danish heater. It may be infrared, ceramic, radiant or indooroutdoor. If it heats a room and plugs into the wall, it is an electric space heater. Plenty of Mainers use these devices to stay warm, and perhaps save on heating fuel bills, and as the weather gets colder, Central Maine Power (CMP) offers tips on using them wisely. “Every room, house, heater and heating habit are different, and not every Mainer will have a similar experience,” says Linda Ball, vice president of Customer Service at CMP. “Depending upon insulation, the age of the home or apart-

ment, and the number of people in the residence, usage can vary widely. People who want to try using an electric space heater can track how much electricity it uses and how much it offsets the amount of heating fuel they use.” All other habits being equal, using a space heater will increase your electricity bill, but for customers whose primary heating source is gas or oil, it may offset those costs. For example, according to the CMP energy calculator, using one, 1500 watt space heater to take the chill off your home office rather than turning up the furnace for the whole house would increase an electricity bill by $1.19 a day or $35.76 in a billing cycle if used for eight hours a day for 20 days.

CMP has free usage information tools available online to provide households with the details needed to make the best heating choices for their own homes. Using an electric space heater may reduce overall heating costs if it is only used to heat a small, confined area. Additional considerations include: Space heaters are often promoted as “energy efficient”follow manufacturers’ instructions to maximize efficiency and understand limitations; Don’t leave a space heater running in a room no one is in; Some space heaters have settings: even if it is set to “low” and isn’t making noise, it is still on. Mainers using electric heat pumps may experience similar electricity usage increases in extremely cold weather. As with space heaters, experiences with heat pumps will vary depending upon the space being heated, insulation, house age and configuration, and room size. While the mantra for heat pumps is “set it and forget it” they do work less efficiently in extraordinarily cold temperatures as they are drawing heat in from outside air.

$400,499 in Funding for Maine’s Ocean Economy WASHINGTON, D.C. Congresswoman Chellie Pingree (D-ME) announced the Maine Aquaculture Association in Hallowell will receive $400,499 through the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Adager – a free online tool to monitor electricity usage day-by-day and hour-by-hour. Customers can enroll online and begin tracking usage within a day or two. They can view weather data alongside usage to understand any correlations between temperature and electricity usage. Upon enrollment, customers can access 13 months of historical hourly usage, so they can compare the current period to a similar period when they were not using a heat pump or space heater. CMP also offers an energy calculator to provide average usage details for common appliances, heating and lighting. Finally, with free Usage Alerts customers can receive a weekly update by text, email or phone about how much electricity they’ve used since their last bill, and set targets for dollar and kWh usage so there are no surprises when the bill comes.

ministration’s (NOAA) Sea Grant Program. This grant will fund research into the future of Maine’s Blue Economy, including its seafood and fishery markets. “Maine’s economy relies heavily on the strength of our fisheries. In New England and worldwide, Maine’s seafood is known for its high quality, and our brand carries weight. The increased collaboration between our aquaculture and wild caught fisheries strengthens and solidifies Maine’s place as a leader in this sector. The coronavirus pandemic upended supply chains, and aquaculture producers felt the impact acutely. We must explore new outlets to fill in the gaps while sustaining the strong market share that Maine’s seafood producers have worked hard to cultivate,” said Pingree. “I’m a longtime supporter of the Sea Grant program because it supports one of our state’s most vital industries. This funding will ensure Maine’s seafood industry has a variety of markets and is more resilient should an economic shock like COVID19 ever happen again.” The project, entitled Expanding Maine’s Blue Economy, proposes a collaborative, industry-propelled, interdisciplinary research project to address two specific objectives: (1) identifying barriers and opportunities in existing aquaculture and other seafood supply chains that support increased consumption of Maine marine aquaculture products within U.S. markets; (2) evaluating consumer preferences for Maine marine aquaculture products with varying attributes and branding.

Dear JG, It appears that Windows 10 does not come with a DVD player, but you can get a good, open source (free) media player and install it on your Windows 10 computer. I have used VLC Media Player from www.videolan.org and it works quite well. You can download it from their website and once installed you can use it to play your DVDs. Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, I have a question regarding Family Tree Maker. I know that it is no longer supported by I believe Ancestry. I have all my family tree information in this program and need to add more but I am afraid I might lose it all. I do use Carbonite as backup. Any suggestion of a better easy program to use and what is the best way to get it from family tree maker to the new program? Thanks for all your help. Sincerely, Juanita Dear Juanita, Nearly all family tree programs support a file type called, GEDCOM to import and export files between the programs. A GEDCOM file is a file format that was created specifically to allow different family tree software programs to share information with each other. You can create a backup GEDCOM file with the following steps: 1. Click “File” in the menu bar of Family Tree Maker. 2. Click “Export” in the drop

A new window will open that will walk you through the steps of importing from your old account to the new Gmail account.

If you have stored your mail in lots of folders, you will have to move them all into your yahoo inbox before importing. Elizabeth

Dear Chm, There actually is a fairly easy way to transfer from your yahoo account to a new Gmail account. Gmail has built in tools for accessing and importing contacts and messages from your old account. Once you have created a gmail account, click on the “Settings” icon in the upper-right of your screen. It looks like a gear. A drop down menu will appear, click on “Settings” in that menu.

Winter Poltegeist Won’t Go Away By Jim Fabiano I sat in middle of my cellar in front of the dark green dank smelling monster that just came back to life. It looked like an octopus with its copper colored appendages sticking out in all directions. One large coiled silver arm came out of the top of its body and extended itself through the wall leading to the outside of my house. The other pipes had gadgets on them that was supposed to control the monster’s heat from going into only certain

parts of my house. By the monster lay pieces of its inner self that had been replaced ever since it started to go off in the night. The round metal heart, gray plastic brain, and even the arteries and veins that led to all the important parts of the beast had been replaced hoping it would cure what ailed it. But, it didn’t because as I sat in the middle of my cellar I watched the tiny deep crimson button that

In the 20 years that I have been fixing computers, I have only seen a handful that were having problems because of outdated drivers. This is actually the reason that I stopped selling AVG.

To submit a question, email her at elizabeth.boston@ gmail.com.

Dear Maureen, No, you don’t need the driver updater. For one thing, the free version only “checks” to see if you need updates to your drivers. Once it has checked, it will try to sell you the paid version of driver updater before it will update any drivers. The problem with this is that unless you are having issues with a particular piece of hardware, lets say your printer for example, you don’t need to update drivers. And, if you are having problems with your hardware, you can go to the website of the device and

and lemon juice to the butter and process until smooth and well blended. 3} When spaghetti squash is tender, remove seeds from the squash. With a fork, ﬂuff up the strands of the squash from the skin and cut the strands with a knife to bite size pieces. Once the spaghetti-like strands of squash are separated add a spoonful of butter and herb mixture to the squash half pieces. Spread evenly so it will melt easily and add cheese, place on serving dish and cut into strips 2 to 3 inches wide, for easy serving. Enjoy!

Health & Fitness Tips for Managing Stress and Substance Use During Pandemic YORK “Alcohol sales, nationally are up 262% in 2020, compared to the previous year,” shared York Hospital Recovery Center Director Eric Haram, LADC, citing data from a 2020 study during a recent webinar entitled “Coping During the Pandemic: Stress and Substance Use. According to Haram, a licensed alcohol and drug counselor, increased consumption is a sign of the compounding impact of social distancing on stress and feelings of isolation, financial strain and family stressors brought on by the pandemic. Missing friends, loneliness, virtual school, remote work, living on top of each other for months during the quarantine have all exacerbated stress in our lives and our homes. Haram continued, “Let’s face it. We’ve all been through a lot this year, and nobody has been immune to socioeconomic fall-out from COVID-19. But some populations are at more risk of substance misuse than others: people with existing mental health or substance use conditions, older adults, people exposed to gender-based sexual violence, and children and adolescents experiencing disrupted schedules, activities and socialization. We need to look out for each other now more than ever and be familiar with warning signs of substance misuse and dependence.” Some warning signs include health complications resulting from substance use, inability to carry out daily responsibilities, physical dependence and withdrawal symptoms, and feelings of preoccupation and craving. Dr. Christine Munroe, a York Hospital primary care provider and the medicationassisted treatment (MAT) medical director for the Recovery Center, added that there are many opportunities to get help if you or a loved one are concerned about substance misuse. “Come in and see us or call and talk to us. We’re here to listen and help determine your

course of care. As primary care clinicians we care about you as a whole person and can advise how best to achieve health and wellness both physically and mentally,” she said. Establishing and sticking to a regular sleep schedule, limiting exposure to light and screens, creating a comfortable, cool, dark sleep environment, and avoiding alcohol, nicotine and caffeine before bedtime all help to alleviate stress. Dr. Munroe also shared healthy tips to help your body and mind deal with significant stressors, such as maintaining a healthy diet, exercising daily, connecting with nature, logging out of work to engage in other activities, practicing mindfulness, creating a gratitude journal, and being sure to reach out to friends to maintain a social network. “During the pandemic,

don’t forget about your routine care,” Dr. Munroe added. “And if you need more help or more education about substance misuse, contact your primary care provider or the York Hospital Recovery Center at 207-351-2118 to discuss options, including referral to treatment,” she said. For people already in treatment for substance use disorders during the current pandemic, recovery coach and social worker Susie McKenna reviewed warning signs of a potential relapse and discussed available virtual recovery groups and related resources. These resources can be found on the York Hospital website at http://ow.ly/HsT650Dg2N2, along with a full recording of the webinar at www.yorkhosp ital.com/coping-during-the-pan demic-stress-and-substance-use disorders/.

~ Pets ~ Safe Haven Humane Society WELLS Rocky, all 15 pounds of him, won our hearts when he arrived as a stray four weeks ago. His strong, orange and white body, gentle manner and healthy appearance hid a secret. That secret was revealed to us, sadly, on Feb-

Another Chance Animal Rescue

Dog License Deadline Extended

ruary 13, when Rocky started suddenly breathing heavily. We rushed Rocky to the emergency vet, where doctors determined that Rocky was in heart failure from an undisclosed heart disease. He was on oxygen for two days, and has now stabilized and taking heart meds. He’s now left emergency and is at his new home at our Cattail Farmhouse. Rocky’s prognosis is uncertain. Doctors think he has 6-12 months to live. We’re all saddened by this, but hopeful that he’ll live up to his name and fight like Rocky Balboa for all he’s worth. There are always exceptions to any prognosis, and we pray that Rocky will be the exception.

NORTH BERWICK This week’s star is pretty Calli. She is a sweet and gentle 13-year-old who only wants a forever home of her own! In the short time Calli has been at the shelter, she had adapted quickly, so she will make an easy transition into your home. Calli is a wonderful loving girl and loves to sit on laps. When you adopt a cat from Another Chance Animal Rescue, you can be confident in knowing that you’ve made a difference in life of a homeless animal. Our animals are fully vetted before they go home with you. If you are interested in fostering or adopting Calli, or want to learn more, call 207-490-2855 or email mycatrescue@icloud. com with some details about your household and what you’re looking for in a cat.

Our volunteers are dedicated to his care and quality of life. Rocky has a very cushy life at Cattail Farm, with cat lovers who’ve been smitten by him since day one. Add his heartbreaking prognosis and need I say that Rocky has everyone eating out of his paws! Rocky and Frankie, another kitty needing recent emergency care, including extensive surgery two weeks ago, has devastated our medical budget. Both kitties require more tests during their recoveries. Rocky needs an echocardiogram, and Frankie requires frequent diagnostics and checkups before we can be certain they have fully recovered.

AUGUSTA Governor Janet Mills has signed Executive Order 29 FY 20/21, allowing dog owners extra time to license their animals. Owners now have until June 2 to renew overdue dog licenses. Licenses are available online at https://apps1.web.maine.gov/cgibin/online/dog_license/index. pl and pet owners are strongly encouraged to them before then to avoid late fees. Veterinarianadministered rabies vaccinations and immunizations are required to be kept current since a rabies certificate is required when applying for a license.

Isabelle L. Coleman, 90 WELLS – Isabelle L. Coleman of Sandy Point Road, longtime resident of Wells, passed away peacefully February 13, 2021 with family by her side. She was born March 8, 1930 in Portland to Carroll and Genevieve (Jenkins) Grover, and was a graduate of Sanford High School. She married her high school sweetheart, Lewis Coleman in 1954. Isabelle took on many roles throughout her long life; among them were homemaker, substitute teacher and after school programs, cook, caterer, legal secretary, clothing store manager and proprietor of Coleman’s Feed and Seed in Wells.

MCINTIRE-MCCOOEY FUNERAL HOME

She and husband Lewis reared eight children at their homestead; all while building their successful business and raising livestock. While their children were growing up, they opened their overflowing home for two weeks each July to the “fresh air” program; bringing yet more children into their lives to experience life in Maine. She and Lewie would eventually adopt one of these children. Throughout their 61-year marriage, Isabelle and Lewie enjoyed many milestones, family gatherings, evenings spent on the boat at the harbor, making memories at Sand Pond and the times they spent square dancing. She was an avid reader and enjoyed filling her time planting flowers and doing puzzles. But what Isabelle had a true passion for was feeding and caring for others. She was very proud of her volunteer work for the Meals on Wheels program and organizing the monthly senior dinners in the North Berwick, Sanford, and Wells areas during her time with the Southern Maine Agency on Aging. Throughout her life, no matter the challenges or struggles she faced, Isabelle remained an independent and strongwilled woman, always putting

Isabelle was pre-deceased by husband Lewis Coleman, daughter-in-law Nancy Coleman, and brother-in-law Ralph “Punky” Bragdon. She will be forever loved by her five sons, Michael Coleman and wife Ruth Griffin of Rockport, Joel Coleman of Springvale, Anthony Coleman and wife Debbie of Wells, Christopher Coleman and wife Donna of Wells, Patrick Coleman and wife Kim of North Berwick; three daughters, Allayne Maillet and husband Ron of Fitchburg, MA, Kerri Van Schaack and husband Ed of Wells, Kelley Sevigney and husband Bill of Wells; two sisters, Patsy Bragdon of North Berwick, Gayle Weymouth and husband Wayne of Wells; 16 grandchildren, 17 great-grandchildren, and special friend, Linda McDermott.

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.

...WINTER from page 11

Robert J. Podoski, 80 WELLS – Robert J. Podoski of Wells, at age 80, passed away suddenly, surrounded by his wife and family on December 17, 2020 in Florida. Bob was one of four children born in Ludlow, MA, as son of John J. and Jane Podoski. Bob proudly served in the US Air Force as a jet engine mechanic. He was owner and operator of Robert J. Podoski & Son Trucking Co. & Construction in Wilbraham, MA, for many years. Upon moving his family to Maine, Bob purchased the Blue Horizon Motel in 1980 and constructed Horizons Family Restaurant, both currently under three generations of family management. He also worked as Ogunquit highway commissioner, and served on the Town of Wells site review committee and planning board. Bob worked as a truck mechanic at Oceanside for many years before moving on to the Kennebunk School Department as a mechanic, and then transferred to the maintenance department of the school district. Bob often said he wouldn’t change anything in his life – He had no regrets and had everything he wanted. Bob lived his life with integrity, commitment, and kindness. Bob is greatly missed and will live in the hearts of his wife of 53 years, Lee; daughter Mary Ellen (Podoski) Theriault and her husband Patrick of Wells; granddaughter Leah of Wells; son Robert J. Podoski II and his wife Kristina of Old Orchard Beach; older brother Edward Podosek of Wilbraham, MA; and the many friends he made along the way. Donations in memory of Robert J. Podoski can be made to benefit the new park and flagpole at Mile Road and Route 1 in Wells.

lay upon the top of its brain pop up and thus shut the monster off. Again, I was defeated and I had no clue as to why this giant of a machine was deserting me. My wife tried to get me away from in front of the appliance worrying I might do something foolish like attempt to fix it with a sledgehammer or axe. I told her not to worry because I wasn’t quite that aggravated yet. I just stared at the now comatose engine glaring down at the red button, which kept it from coming to life. After a few seconds I reached out and gently pushed the scarlet source of life and with a clip and a muffled boom the furnace jumped to life with all of the needles of its dials and meters stand at attention ready for the power that was destined to come from the machine. But, then after a few minutes that dreaded cherry colored button once again sprang up shutting down any hopes that the 31st attempt would be a lucky one. I finally broke down and called the repairman. I told the receptionist that my furnace was possessed. Possessed is the correct term because every time the repairman came over to check out the furnace it never shut off. It just kept humming along like every good furnace is supposed to do. Every now and then I would catch him glimpse up at me with a kind of, “have you finally gone off the deep end” expression on his face. Even though the furnace worked the repairman still replaced a few of the parts on the monster attempting to figure out why it had become fickle. He never charged me for the parts because if the furnace continued to shut itself off he explained he would replace the old parts and try something new. Yet every time he replaced this motor or this transformer the furnace would spark into life, stay on for a couple of days and then the dreaded crimson button would again lift its ugly face. It was haunted by some spirit of the past world of furnaces that looked forward to driving me out of my mind. For the next few weeks I pushed this, banged that, opened something I was afraid would eventually kill my cat, and did things I never thought a sane See FABIANO page 21...

Board members have been working very hard to make sure a season happens this year and all help is welcome.

...FABIANO from page 20 man would do. I pushed that damned button down hard, soft, at an angle, while rubbing it as if it were something I wanted to like me, and even threatened it with a ball pinned hammer. Nothing worked and if it did work it would tease me into working for a few days only to shut down at the most inopportune time. The times I am talking about are when either my wife or I are in the shower. It would cease to work when I was late for an appointment and had to run into the cold shower hoping some part of my body wouldn’t fall off just in case I might need it at a future date. After my wife threatened divorce I again called the repairman and asked him to come over to see if he could do something to keep this demon on or should I just break down and go to the nearest Catholic

Church in order to hire an exorcist. The repairman looked up at me, shook his head, and asked me to leave the two of them alone. I followed his instructions went upstairs and had a drink. About an hour later he told me he had figured out the problem and I should call him immediately if the furnace shuts down. He also told me to stop kicking the machine. I wonder how he knew? So, here I sit in middle of my cellar in front of the dark green monster that just came back to life. I am afraid that if I leave my perch that little red button, which controls the life and soul of the ogre will once again stick out its ugly red tongue.
