Give Warmth: Warm Hands, Warm Hearts ELIOT Eliot Connects encourages everyone to come out for their Second Annual “Give Warmth: Warm Hands, Warm Hearts” event on Saturday, March 2, 11 a.m. - 2 p.m.

Once again, warm soup, baked treats, indoor games, and live music will be available inside the Eliot Fire Station. A “pay what you can” donation is suggested for the food, with 100% of proceeds going directly to the YCCAC HOPE Fund for Eliot residents. Outside, guests can enjoy a hot cocoa bar courtesy of Haven Homes & Lifestyle, outdoor competitions and activities, and a fire pit for making s’mores.

Outdoor activities will be modified according to the weather on the day of the event.

Additional f undraising events include a kids’ Winter Outer Gear Swap/Drive. Participants are encouraged to donate

and/or swap kids’ winter outer gear during the event. Donated items must be clean, and in either gently worn or like new condition. Boots, snow pants, jackets, gloves, hats, etc., are all needed; any donations are greatly ap-

preciated. Leftover items not swapped or taken to new homes will be donated to Eliot Elementary School, Marshwood Great Works School, and the KidsPLAY after school program.

Volunteers are needed in all areas all day long to help the day go by smoothly! Event organizers are also seeking volunteers to donate soups and baked goods to share with the community. High School volunteers are always welcome to join; time spent volunteering that day can be applied to Community Service hours.

The events of the day are co-sponsored by a partnership between Eliot Connects, Eliot Community Service, and the

Police and Fire Departments.

100% of proceeds will go to benefit the York County Community Action HOPE fund for Eliot Residents.

York County Community Action Corporation (YCCAC) outreach workers use the HOPE Fund for immediate client needs for at risk Eliot households to bridge a gap which, if unaddressed, could result in an emergency crisis situation, and work to create long-term stability. For more information, visit www. yccac.org/community-outreach.

Cold Water Dip Brings Community Strength to Survivors SEACOAST Hundreds of cold-water dippers from York to Mount Desert Island brought warmth to Maine domestic abuse survivors on Sunday, February 11 in a fundraising event for Finding Our Voices.

More than $8,000 was raised for women and child domestic abuse survivors in the Sunday-before-Valentine’s Day event that encouraged dippers to wear yellow (Finding Our Voices’ signature color), to choose their own dipping place and time, and to devise their own way to raise money for the grassroots nonprofit.

Participating dippers ranged from two childhood friends calling themselves the “Sorrento Selkies,” celebrating “the strength of women when they have a purpose,” to such established Maine dipping groups as Cold Tits Warm Hearts (Mount Desert Island), Wicked Nippy Dippahs (Midcoast), Salty Sisters (Miscoast), Two Maine Mermaids (Georgetown), Cold Water Queers (South Portland), and Saltwater Mountain Co.’s Dip Down to Rise Up (York).

Patrisha McLean, CEO and founder of the survivor-powered nonprofit Finding Our Voices, said “I have been hearing more

and more about cold water dipping and the women who do it are always ones I would like to get to know more because they look so healthy and happy and strong, and I love the sense of community they have developed. From the minute I started reaching out to the group leaders about our event, I have been bowled over by their embrace of both it and our survivor-powered approach to domestic abuse, and also how creative and fun they are as far as incorporating the yellow. Many of the groups are already letting me know they can’t wait to dip for us again in an even louder and bigger way next February.”

Betty Boucher and Rachel Earl jumped into Big Tree Lake on Isleboro for “Freezing for Fun(d)s, and Alison Thibault’s Salty Sisters dipped at State Beach on Vinalhaven. In a local –

and clothed – version of the movie “Smoke Sauna Sisterhood,” Erja Lipponen dug a bigger-than-usual hole in a frozen Union lake, fired See DIP on page 20 . . .

Shipyard Removed from EPA Superfund List KITTERY The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is deleting the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard (PNSY) from the National Priorities List (NPL), commonly referred to as Superfund.

While EPA has determined that site cleanup work at the PNSY site is complete, with no further site remediation activity required, ongoing operation and maintenance, land use controls, and monitoring activities will continue at the site as needed.

Further, the Navy will continue to conduct comprehensive followup reviews every five years and

submit them to EPA – even after NPL deletion – to ensure the Superfund remedies continue to protect human health and the environment.

“This is a day to celebrate the combined persistence and hard work of the Navy, EPA, and

Maine. EPA deletes sites or parts of sites from the Superfund list when no further construction is required to protect human health or the environment,” said EPA New England Regional Administrator David W. Cash. “EPA is very pleased that after many

years of working with the Navy and other parties on this complex investigation and cleanup work, we’ve achieved a major milestone to get this site where it is today and remove it from the National Priorities List.”

“The successful cleanup of Portsmouth Naval Shipyard is the result of 30 years of collaboration between the state and federal government,” said Senator Susan Collins. “It is great news that the Shipyard is no longer considered a Superfund site, and as a longtime supporter of the Superfund See PNSY on page 15 . . .

Kennebunkport Student to Attend Naval Academy “Acceptance to a U.S. service academy is extremely competitive and reflects highly on a student’s scholarship, community service, and character,” said Pingree. “Along with all the other Maine students I nominated, George has demonstrated an incredible commitment to serving the country

KENNEBUNKPORT Congresswoman Chellie Pingree recently announced t hat Ken nebu n k por t H ig h School senior George A. Cutone has accepted an offer to attend the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD. Pingree nominated George to the Academy this past December.

and a maturity well beyond his years. I’m very proud that he was accepted to the Naval Academy and wish him the very best in his time there.”

“The United States Service Academies are a way to surround myself with people with similar values, all looking to serve something bigger than

themselves. It is an environment where I can continue to develop my character and strive to be a smart, fit, and ethical leader,” George wrote in his letter requesting a nomination. “We are only as strong as our weakest link, and the Naval Academy makes everyone their strongest.”

26. This year, there will also be an auction viewing party with light refreshments and drinks on Sunday, March 3, 1-4 p.m. at Beach Plum Farm, 610 Main Street, Ogunquit.

In addition to bidding, auction participants also can raise funds in any area where GW R LT’s c u r re nt bud ge t cannot accommodate. In past years, the “Fund-a-Need” has successfully raised funds for the Kenyon Hill parking area and trail improvements at Bauneg Beg Mountain Conservation Area, among others. This year, GWRLT has a goal of raising funds to improve their trail and maintenance workshop located at the offices at Beach Plum Farm. GWRLT hopes to upgrade the space by insulating the building and making necessary improvements for a better functioning workshop to accommodate the growing number of trails and preserves.

“GWRLT relies on this annual f undraiser to build

community and financial support. Thanks to business sponsors, item donors, and the hard work of volunteers, every dollar raised will go directly into continuing the work of protecting the wildlife lands and working landscapes that make our area special,” said GWRLT Board Member and Auction Chair Pat Robinson.

There is truly something for everyone amongst the many items up for auction: outdoor experiences for all ages; food and beverage offerings; handcrafted treasures for the home; hotel stays; and gift certificates galore. How about a summer trip to Sugarloaf Mountain, or Loon Mountain in New Hampshire? Or a collection of state quarters, Volume I, 1999-2003 and Volume II, 2004-2008? An embroidered elf hat ornament, summer camp packages, toys for kids, or a choice of several pieces of jewelry? The opportunities and items offered in this year’s Spring Auction help support

~ Arts & Entertainment ~ “The Biology of Lichens” at D.A. Hurd Library NORTH BERWICK The D. A. Hurd Library welcomes Dr. Sue Pike for a talk, with accompanying live samples, about the biology of lichens. The presentation happens at the library on Wednesday, February 28 at 5 p.m.

There are many reasons to learn about lichens, as they are a truly unique natural phenomenon. Lichen represent a symbiotic relationship between fungi and photosynthetic algae, or cyanobacteria. The fungus provides the house, the algae provides the food through photosynthesis.

Lichens can grow on tree bark, bare ground and bare rock, can be found almost everywhere, and contribute towards the first steps in building soil. After the last ice age, when much of New England was reduced to bare rock, it was the lichens that began the long process of rebuilding new

soil by breaking down rock and contributing organic material to new topsoil. In addition to providing food and shelter for local wildlife, lichens have a long history of use by humans, from food to dyes to medicine. Lichens saved Washington’s troops from starvation at Valley Forge, and are even used to monitor air quality.

Dr. Pike’s presentation will help participants recognize and appreciate these diminutive, exotic life forms that many may overlook in their backyards. She will share tips on how to identify certain lichens, and provide background information on how humans and wildlife rely upon them for everything from food to medicine.

Dr. Pike is a nature columnist for Seacoast Media Group, and has been writing weekly nature columns for over 20 years.

Holding a PhD in Biology, her

doctoral research delved into the intricacies of developmental neurobiology, specifically focusing on the formation of the nervous system in fish. Dr. Pike serves on the Board of the Great Works Regional Land Trust.

She also teaches Biology and Earth/Environmental Science at Dover High School, works as a naturalist for National Geographic/Lindblad in Alaska every summer, and is a volunteer naturalist with the Appalachian Mountain Club.

Dr. Pike will also be co-leading a “lichens and ledges” walk on Saturday, March 16, from 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. at Great Works Regional Land Trust’s Kenyon Hill Preserve in South Berwick.

The D. A. Hurd Library is located at 41 High Street in North Berwick. For more information, email hurddirector@dahurdlibrary.org or call 207-676-2215.

FINANCE & CAREER Bill Supports Organic Dairy Farmers

NATIONWIDE Cong resswoman Chellie Pingree, a longtime organic farmer and member of the House Agriculture Committee, and Congressman Marc Molinaro (R-NY) recently introduced bipartisan legislation to support organic dairy farmers in Maine and across the country. The Organic Dairy Data Collection Act would enhance data collection at the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to better understand the costs associated with producing organic milk.

“International trade challenges, adverse weather, and skyrocketing organic feed costs

have created a dire economic situation for organic dairy farmers across the U.S. These unsustainable circumstances could lead to farm closures, reduced competition, and ultimately, limited consumer choice,” said Pingree.

“These unique challenges require tailored solutions. My and Congressman Molinaro’s bipartisan Organic Dairy Data Collection Act will ensure USDA can better understand and address the challenges organic dairies face. As the Agriculture Committee and I continue our work on the upcoming Farm Bill, I am hopeful we can include this targeted solution to support the organic dairy sector and strengthen the role of

organics in the marketplace for years to come.”

“The USDA collects pricing and production cost data so dairy farmers can have access to competitive markets, keep a pulse on industry challenges, account for feed costs, and make accurate decisions with reliable information.

Unfortunately, this same data isn’t available to organic dairy farmers. New York is one of the top states in organic production and during my farm bill listening sessions I have heard firsthand from organic dairy farmers about the uncertainty they experience,” said Molinaro. “I am proud to introduce the bipartisan Organic Dairy Data Collection Act to give organic farmers the data they need to make smart decisions for their farm and family.”

The bipartisan Organic Dairy Data Collection Act does the following: Directs USDA to collect and publish cost-of-production data for organic milk, including

the costs of major organic feedstuffs, domestically produced or imported.

Directs USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) to gather and report monthly data about the amounts that organic dairy farmers are being paid for organic milk.

Directs USDA NASS, the Economic Research Service (ERS) or Agricultural Research Service (ARS) to publish reports on the cost of production data by state, regional data on the quantity of organic milk production and prices.

“Improved organic data collection and reporting, bolstered by this bill, is going to provide more reliable and consistent information on organic dairy production costs and markets. The reality is that this type of information can vary region by region so this effort can help farmers like me plan for the year and make decisions on what actions I need to take on my organic dairy,” said Annie

Watson, Organic Valley farmer-member and owner of Sheepscot Valley Farm in Whitefield.

“Representative Pingree continues her life’s work to advance organic agriculture with this bill – big thanks to her and Representative Molinaro for introducing this targeted but meaningful bipartisan legislation.”

The legislation is supported by the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association, Organic Trade Association, Organic Farmers Association, National Organic Coalition, Organic Farming Research Foundation, Northeast Organic Dairy Producers Alliance and Western Organic Dairy Producers Alliance. The bill still awaits passing in both the House and the Senate.

Grants Boost Specialty Crop Producers STATEWIDE The Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry (DACF) recently announced a significant boost to the agricultural sector with the awarding of Specialty Crop Block Program Grants (SCBGP). The grants total over $600,000 and are distributed to a diverse group

of recipients, including Farms For Food Equity, Maine Flower Collective, Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association, Meeting House Herbs, and University of Maine professors, Dr. Seanna Annis, Dr. Jay Hao, Dr. Jennifer Perry, and Dr. Renae Moran. Each project is designed to catalyze growth within

Maine’s agricultural sectors while having a beneficial impact on multiple farm businesses.

SCBG funding also supports innovative research to benefit specialty crop producers.

MCFA’s New Smoked Maine Pollock Dip

STATEWIDE The Maine Coast Fishermen’s Association (MCFA) is pleased to announce that they have partnered with Dunstan Smokehouse in Scarborough to produce their latest retail product, the Smoked Maine Pollock Dip. The dip includes sustainably harvested Maine pollock that is smoked locally and combined with cream cheese, mayonnaise, shallots, lemon, and

dill. Proceeds from the sale of the dip benefit MCFA and continue to support the associations’ efforts to build new markets for local seafood.

MCFA is a non-profit based in Brunswick that works to foster sustainable fisheries in the Gulf of Maine and support working waterfront businesses and communities. In 2022, MCFA introduced Maine Coast Monkfish Stew, its first value-added

Weekly Recipe: Eggplant Parmesan Ingredients: 2 medium eggplants, sliced into 1/2-inch thick rounds 2 cups breadcrumbs (preferably Italian-style) 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 cups fresh-sliced or shredded Mozzarella 3 large eggs, beaten

2 cups marinara sauce

Fresh basil leaves, chopped (for garnish) Olive oil, for frying

Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions: Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Place the eggplant slices in a colander and sprinkle generously with salt. Let sit for about 30 minutes to draw out excess moisture. The salt will also help remove some of the bitterness from the eggplant. After 30 minutes, rinse the eggplant slices and pat dry.

In a shallow dish, mix together the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan. Dip each eggplant slice into the beaten eggs, then coat in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Place the coated slices on a baking sheet.

Heat a few tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium

heat. Working in batches, fry the eggplant slices until they are golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Add more oil to the skillet as needed.

Transfer the fried eggplant slices to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce over the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Arrange a layer of the fried eggplant slices over the sauce, top with more marinara, a few slices of Mozzarella, and a few sprinkles of parmesan. Repeat the layers until all the eggplant slices are used, finishing with a layer of marinara and mozzarella on top.

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Remove the foil and garnish with freshly chopped basil leaves and freshly ground black pepper. Let it cool slightly before serving.

Serve with a side of pasta or a fresh green salad. Serves 4-6.

Enjoy!

“SCBGP supports local and regional projects to help farmers and producers become more competitive now and in the future,” commented Bureau of Agriculture, Food and Rural Resources Director Craig Lapine. “These funds are important to supporting local farmers and food producers, aiding them in their journey towards success and expanding the market for specialty crops not only within Maine but across the entire United States.”

“From piloting marketing and education initiatives to enhancing produce safety and quality to testing market expansion and profitability, the SCBGP will infuse Maine’s specialty crop ‘industry’s innovation, capacity, and shared knowledge between producers, researchers, consumers, and stakeholders,” commented Maine Agricultural Resource Development Director and Maine SCBGP Program Coordinator, Michelle Webb.

ELIOT – Mary Elizabeth (Betty) Jewett Marshall Fecteau died with family at her side on February 12, 2024 after a brief illness, having lived 93 loving and caring years.

Betty was born in Portsmouth, NH ,on Sept 17, 1930 to Frank and Frances Hayes Jewett, the eldest of four children. She loved horses from an early age, and was known to ride to New Hampshire from her parents’ farm in Kittery (before her parents knew where she had gone).

She was a star trumpet player and top ten student at Traip Academy.

Betty joined the youth group at the Advent Christian Church in Portsmouth, where she would meet her future husband, Philip S. Marshall Jr., whom she married in 1949. The young couple built their first new home themselves in Kittery. Betty and Phil had five children and raised them on a farm in Eliot, where they built their second new home together.

There, she resided the remainder of her life, with most of the family living nearby. When they bought the farm in 1955, they ran a dairy business, which quickly evolved into their operating a horse farm and riding stable. Betty’s hospitality made the farm a warm, welcoming place for all, where she acquired many lifelong friends.

In the spring of 1974, Betty lost her father and husband within a few days. Phil’s funeral was held on the couple’s 25th wedding anniversary. Betty’s toughness came through, as she was determined to protect her family by keeping the family farm and getting her younger kids through college if they chose to go. Barely into her mid-forties, Betty took a job as a housekeeper and caregiver, accomplishing her goals and much more. The family whom Betty worked for became a huge part of her extended family,

and she continued with them well into her seventies.

After the farm, Betty’s favorite place was “Camp,” the place that she and Phil built on Moxie Pond in Rangeley in the 1960s. When there, Betty swam daily and cooked for any group of family members who accompanied her. Many grandchildren have cherished memories of “Grammy” at camp, some taking her with them once they got their licenses. She was consistently kind and compassionate to all, including the teen friends who joined in on the trips.

Betty could connect with anyone and made many forever friendships. With her friend since childhood, Bertha Faulkner, she would spend more than a decade wintering in Florida, enjoying bike rides, daily swims and socializing with new friends. Betty enjoyed painting and loved music, spending many of her later years playing her trumpet in the Seacoast Wind Ensemble.

Betty was predeceased by her parents, husband Phil, and second husband Joseph Fecteau; brother Frank Jewett; and sister Sylvia Eaton.

She is survived by her five children and daughters-in-law, John and Randi Marshall of Eliot, Marilyn Mullins of Eliot, David and Mary Marshall of York, Stephen and Debby Marshall of Eliot, and Janice Marshall, also of Eliot; 18 grandchildren and their spouses, Brenda (Eric) Borge, Sarah (Ryan) MacDougall, Laura Marshall, Louise (Michael) Dias, Phil Mullins, Chris (Joelle) Marshall, Emily (Kyle) Marshall, Amanda Tuttle, Philip (Beth) Marshall, Peter (Andrea) Marshall, Catrina (Nate) Swazey, Clara Mooers, Olivia (Gabe) Feagler, Elizabeth Degreenia, Katherine (Isaac) Kenyi, Jonathan Saunders, Carrie (Tim) Wood, and Mary-Jo Woodward; 28 great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren; sister and brother-in-law, Judy and Dick Jumper of Eliot; sisters-inlaw, Marlene Jewett of Kittery, Nellie Marshall of Hebron, NS, and Marjorie (Larry) Whyte of Joplin, MO; two stepdaughters, Liz Woodward and Carol Cooper; and many nieces and nephews. Betty knew all of them well and saw many of her family daily.

Betty’s large family gathered for all of the holidays, and on her birthday, for an ice cream party every year; her 2023 birthday garnered over 70 people.

Family gatherings were a source of great happiness for Betty as she watched the children grow.

Frederick C. Knox, 87 YOR K – Frederick C. Knox of York passed away on February 6, 2024, at home after a short illness. He was born in Medford, MA, son of Webster S. and Margaret J. (MacMillan) Knox.

Fred graduated from Suffolk University and subsequently taught Social Studies at Hobbs Junior High School in Medford, and Medford High School, for a total of 36 years. For many of those years, he coached the school’s baseball team, leaving a positive impact on his players which is still felt today.

Fred leaves his loving wife Janet of 49 years, and his beloved children, Rick (Erik) and Becky (Rebecca), all of York.

In addition, he leaves his sister Phyllis Connerney and husband William, of Needham, MA.; two brothers, Bruce and William Knox, of South Berwick; brother-in-law Robert Steele, of Millbury, MA; and many nieces, nephews, and cousins. He was predeceased by two brothers, Webber and Robert Knox, sister

Margaret J. Carroll, and sisterin-law Barbara Steele.

Fred loved playing baseball as well as coaching. He pitched for Suffolk University, as well as for the Hosmer Chiefs, of the Intercity League. Fred was the most successful pitcher in the Intercity League, with 116 wins.

He was inducted into three Halls of Fame, including Suffolk University, Medford, and the Intercity Baseball Hall of Fame.

Fred’s love of American history was a passion throughout his life. With his best friend, Ellis Lane, he restored a Victorian cottage on the Nubble, in York Beach. In addition, Fred and Janet moved to and restored a colonial house in Medford, the John Oakes house.

After they moved to Maine in 1984, Fred and Janet purchased the John Banks house, c. 1680. Fred maintained his friendship with Ellis Lane and Gordon Lewis, former teammates with the Hosmer Chiefs, and their wives, and continued to meet for coffee with an everwidening group of sports fans on a weekly basis.

Fred of ten quoted “A nation that has forgotten its history is like a man who has lost his memory.” He loved this country and flew the American flag with pride daily. There was nothing he loved more than a crowd of friends, the ocean, and his family above all.

Legislators Recognizes February as 211 Maine Month STATEWIDE Maine Legislators recently voted to recognize February 2024 as 211 Maine Month.

The legislation was co-sponsored by Senator Trey Stewart (R-Aroostook) and Representative Lori Gramlich (D-Old Orchard Beach).

Finding help for complex needs like shelter, food access, substance use, and mental health can be hard for many Mainers. Fortunately, there is a Maine-based resource that can help.

“Since 2006, 211 Maine has proven to be a critical resource,” said Senator Stewart. “In addition to its regular functions, 211 Maine assisted the people of Maine during the tragic Lewiston shooting to find help and again during the December windstorms to help our communities report damages. I am proud to spon-

sor this Joint Resolution to recognize the program.”

“I am honored to cosponsor the 211 Maine Month resolution again this year,” shared Representative Gramlich. “This program demonstrates how government, nonprofit, and private sectors can efficiently work together to improve the lives of Mainers.”

211 Specialists answered over 77,000 calls, texts, and emai ls i n 2023. T he most com mon ne ed s id e nt i f ied through referrals included heating and utility assistance, housing and shelter, mental health, and substance use resources.

“We hear from our neighbors and community partners how hard it can be for people to find help,” said Shirar Patterson, 211 Maine Board of Directors President and President/ CEO of Heart of Maine United Way. “It’s crucial to have a pro-

gram like 211 Maine available and accessible for all Mainers.”

In addition to helping Mainers find resources across the spectrum of health and human services, 211 continues its involvement in specific initiatives, including the state’s Help Me Grow system that

helps families with children up to eight years old get connected to needed behavioral health or educational services. Other programs include Maine’s Opiate Helpline, the Problem Gambling Helpline, answering questions about browntail moth caterpillars and COVID-19, and more.

211 Maine specialists are available 24/7 via text by sending a Maine zip code to 898-

211 or by dialing 211, with language interpreter services accessible by pressing 6. This collaborative initiative, led by the United Ways of Maine, the State of Maine, and The Opportunity Alliance, offers free, confidential assistance in connecting individuals with health and human services statewide through phone, text, or online at www.211maine.org.

Tips for Seniors During Heart Health Awareness Month STATEWIDE As Heart Health Awareness month comes to a close, the American Heart Association (AHA) reminds the public that now a great time to start on the path to better heart health and wellbeing, and to understand the risk factors that can contribute to heart problems.

In late 2023, the America’s Health Rankings (AHR) 2023 Annual Report highlighted a startling fact: heart disease is one of eight chronic conditions that has reached record highs since the report began tracking health and wellbeing in the United States.

Despite a decline in deaths tied to heart disease, it continues as the leading cause of death among men and women.

Heart disease costs the U.S. health system $216 billion per year, according to the CDC, not including an additional $147 billion in lost wages and productivity. Risk factors for heart disease include conditions like high blood pressure, high cholesterol and obesity, as well as unhealthy behaviors such as physical inactivity, smoking and alcohol abuse.

In Maine, 35% of adults over age 65 qualified as physically inactive while 27.5% are

obese and 7.8% still smoke, according to the report. The report also shows strong disparities exist across geographic, racial, and economic groups, putting certain people at greater risk of developing heart problems. The prevalence of heart disease, like overall health and wellbeing, is influenced by the “social determinants of health,” such as lack of access to transportation, healthy foods, and safe housing. According to the AHA, however, there are immediate steps that can be taken to help Mainers live longer, healthier lives and to help reduce their risk of heart disease and stroke.

First, and maybe the most obvious, is an overall healthier diet. Center the eating plan around fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and fish. Limit sweetened drinks, processed sugars, processed meats, excess sodium and saturated fats, and dairy. Go organic whenever possible. To get started, The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics offers plenty of evidencebased nutrition information, tips, recipes, and resources at https:// www.eatright.org.

Second is to be physically active and keep an eye on the

weight. The AHA recommends adults should aim for at least 150 minutes of moderateintensity aerobic activity, or 75 minutes of vigorous activity each week. Integrating aerobic activity with light to moderate weight training not only helps to maintain muscle mass, but also contributes to overall better metabolism.

Third, is to live tobaccofree. Living tobacco-free offers numerous benefits for both physical and mental well-being.

By abstaining from tobacco use, individuals can significantly reduce their risk of developing such health issues as heart disease, lung cancer, and respiratory problems. Additionally, choosing a tobacco-free lifestyle promotes better overall health, contributes to increased energy levels, and adds to an overall higher quality of life. Organizations such as the American Cancer Society (1-800-2272345) and the National Cancer Institute (1-877-44U-QUIT or 1-877-448-7848) offer quitlines that provide support and resources for individuals trying to quit smoking.

. . . PNSY from page 1 program, I am pleased to see those investments paying off.”

“Portsmouth Naval Shipyard plays an important role in our national defense – supporting our shipbuilding priorities and providing good-paying jobs to many Maine people,” said Senator Angus King.

“The recent news that PNSY is being removed from EPA’s Superfund list is an encouraging step to know that their efforts to address the toxic threats on its grounds have made a difference... this EPA decision is a welcome acknowledgement of their hard work thus far.”

“Portsmouth Naval Shipyard performs an incredible service to our country in maintaining and upgrading the Navy’s submarine fleet, while being a critical pillar to Southern Maine’s economy. After nearly 30 years of research, assessment, and clean-up activities, today’s announcement... is exciting and welcome news for the shipyard’s workers, surrounding communities, and importantly – for the environment. As ranking member of the House Appropriations Interior and Environment Subcommittee which oversees funding for this... program, I am thrilled that the shipyard is now considered environmentally safe and healthy,” said Congresswoman Chellie Pingree.

The 278-acre shipyard is a restricted access military facility located on Seavey Island in the Piscataqua River at the mouth of Portsmouth Harbor between Kittery, and Portsmouth, NH. Shipbuilding activities in Portsmouth Harbor date back to 1690.

PNSY was established as a government facility in 1800.

The first government-built submarine was designed and constructed there during World War I, and a large number of submarines have been designed, constructed, and repaired at this facility since 1917. Today, the shipyard employs approximately 5,000 civilians and approximately 200 active-duty military personnel with the . . .

primary mission being the conversion, overhaul, and repair of submarines for the U.S. Navy.

Contamination at PNSY resulted from shipbuilding and submarine repair work, landfill operations, spills and leaks from industrial operations and piping, storage of batteries and other materials, filling of land, and outfalls to the river. Seven areas on and around the shipyard were identified for investigation. Contamination detected in groundwater, soils, and sediments include polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAHs), metals, and benzene.

After the site was added to the NPL in 1994, extensive cleanup work was conducted over the following decades to address contamination issues, which have now been completed. The State of Maine has reviewed and commented on this action and concurs with EPA’s decision to delete this site from the National Priorities List.

Long-term stewardship will be ongoing to maintain institutional controls, security, and to ensure future land use is consistent with the remediation. EPA will continue to assess the environmental remediation work performed at PNSY every five years to ensure the remedy continues to protect human health and the environment, as required by the Superfund law. A proposed or final deletion from the NPL does not prevent future actions under the Superfund law.

The NPL tracks the nation’s most contaminated sites that threaten human health or the environment. Sites on the list are eligible for cleanup under the Superfund program and once all the remedies are successfully implemented, EPA removes sites or parts of sites from the list.

All materials related to the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard Superfund site can be accessed at: Rice Public Library, 8 Wentworth St., Kittery; and Portsmouth Public Library, 175 Parrott St., Portsmouth, NH. For more information, visit www.epa.gov/ superfund/portsmouth or www. navfac.navy.mil.

NATIONWIDE The National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) has designated the week of February 26 – March 1 as National Eating Disorders Week. NEDA uses this week to promote awareness of eating disorders and spread hope for those in recovery and their families. About 8% of the population of the United States suffers from them. This year’s theme is Healing in Community.

According to the American Psychiatric Association, there are five types of eating disorders: Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, Binge Eating Disorder, Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder, and Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorder. Eating disorders are serious health conditions that affect both physical and mental health. If not treated correctly, they can become long-term prob-

lems, and in some cases, may cause death.

Some believe that eating disorders only affect women and girls, but recent studies show that as many as one-third of people with eating disorders are men and boys. The Child Mind Institute, with offices based in New York City and San Francisco, notes that girls with eating disorders are typically fixated on overall thinness, while boys with anorexia tend to be more focused on achieving a thin, muscular physique.

Eating disorders can frequently occur with other mental health issues like depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, and anxiety, and can be a risk factor associated with suicide. Some studies show that up to 20% of those with anorexia attempt suicide and up to 43% reported having suicidal ideation. Individ-

uals with Bulimia Nervosa are 45% more likely to have suicidal ideation than those that do not.

People with Binge Eating Disorder are five times more likely to attempt suicide than peers without it.

You can learn more about eating disorders by visiting www.jasonfoundation.com There you will also see some of the signs and symptoms to look out for. The Jason Foundation is dedicated to the prevention of youth suicide through educational and awareness programs that equip young people, educators/youth workers, and parents with the tools and resources to help identify and assist at-risk youth.

Safe Haven Humane Society

WELLS Emma is a young black and white tuxedo kitty with the most unique ring around the tip of her tail. She gave birth to five precious kittens and cared for them while living outdoors in a wood pile. To the staff at Safe Haven, that already makes her a heroine!

Just imagine her challenges: finding food while providing protection and warmth for her family was no small task.

Luckily, this feral momma was humanely trapped along with all her kittens, and brought to Safe Haven. Her kittens socialized quickly, thanks to all the love from the shelter’s volunteers. The kittens were all quickly adopted by wonderful families.

Emma, not yet socialized, stayed behind at the shelter, slowly learning to trust the strange, two-legged creatures around her. It takes time, patience

and love to socialize feral kitties, and Safe Haven volunteers offer that to every last one of them.

However, each kitty has its own timetable for when they are ready to experience a social breakthrough and develop trust.

Emma is a nurturer, with a motherly desire to groom other kitties around her. One of her favorite kitties is Friday, who was trapped without his mother. So is it fate that these two have found one another?

Friday is also a handsome

black and-white-tuxedo. He is also learning to trust humans.

With Emma, Friday is braver and happier. They walk together, with tails and whiskered cheeks together. Safe Haven will honor their bond by trying to get them adopted as a pair. Neither wants a human to touch them, except when providing treats, but it is a good first step. These two young kitties deserve a happy, safe, blissfully quiet and loving home.

Safe Haven is seeking a quiet home for this pair, with a family who understands that good things are worth waiting for.

The family must understand they will be the cats’ guardians, and ensure they will not be pushed beyond their comfort level. It is important to understand they are still developing. The person who adopts Emma and Friday will be rewarded many times over, as they witness the cats’ social breakthrough and enjoy years of loving companionship with their new companions.

For more info about these dear, sweet kitties please call the shelter or visit online. Safe Haven is open 11 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. weekdays, weekends by appointment.

Special thanks to everyone supported the GoFundMe fundraiser to help pay for the extensive surgical expenses for Bubby, and for the two other kitties who also needed diagnostics and surgery.

As the price of vet care increases daily, Safe Haven depends on the public’s support to ensure each kitty gets all the medical care they need before adoption.

To donate, please mail a check in any amount to Safe Haven, PO Box 91, Wells, ME 04090 or donate online at https://gofund/ me/55097746.

The shop is open every day, 11 a.m. - 4 p.m. We accept donations every Saturday, 12-3 p.m.

Community Center Campus Master Plan, Revitalization of Memorial Field

KITTERY The Town of Kittery is working collaboratively with the Kittery Athletics & Fields Committee and the Kittery Community Center (KCC) Board of Directors to provide community members with improved public recreation and athletic spaces throughout town. The town and the organizations seek input from the community over two new projects proposed: Revitalization of Memorial Field. A concept plan has been developed to improve Memorial Field, at 70 Old Post Road. The proposal establishes the most beneficial layout for the fields and supporting spaces, and addresses the growing needs of the community by incorporating a mix of turf and natural grass to support youth

sports year-round.

KCC C a mpu s M a s te r Plan. A Campus Master Plan has been developed for the Kittery Community Center. The design establishes the most beneficial layout for passive and active recreation space, adequate parking and site circulation. The Campus Master Plan will help the KCC and the Town of Kittery strategize for future capital investment in its outdoor spaces and amenities.

The projects help to support the strategic goals of the KCC and address growing usage demands on the site. The plans developed include concepts and ideas for both sites to improve and increase community usage, parking and f low, materials, amenities and more.

The public is invited to

. . . DIP from page 1 up her Finnish sauna and welcomed a dozen alumni of her Wander Woman Tours to steam, help the Kittery Athletics & Fields Committee and the KCC Board of Directors by providing input and feedback on where funding priorities lie for these concepts. Area residents are invited to weigh in at two public meetings, scheduled as follows: Tuesday, February 27 at 6 p.m. at the Traip Academy Library, 12 Williams Ave., Kittery, and Thursday, February 29 at 6 p.m. at KCC Star Theatre, 120 Rogers Road. Kittery.

The committees and the town look forward to hearing public input from area residents on both projects!

dip, and steam and dip again, all wearing yellow sunglasses.

Cold Tits Warm Hearts “held space” at their event on Seal Harbor, according to one of the leaders, “for the women present and all women who have been victims and been silenced.”

In Brooklin, Sarah Havener Brown of Snow Moon Selkies gathered close to a hundred women, men, and children from Castine, Cape Rosier, and Blue Hill to Naskeag Point at 9:30 a.m.

The collective ended up raising $2,800 for Finding Our Voices from over 50 donors.

With the surf especially high at York Beach that morning, Amy Hopkins, who had distributed yellow rose headbands to many in her Dip Down Rise Up group, pivoted the event to a dance instead, saying on Instagram: “We held (just a moment of) silence so we could break it together, with song, dance, food, drink, poetry, AND VOICE! We created ripples of hope today with so many fellow Mainers.”

At Willard Beach, Two Maine Mermaids and Cold Water Queers joined forces to set up a table on the sand. Yellow wigs, towels, and sunglasses adorned the display alongside brochures and rubber bracelets from Finding Our Voices. As one of the dippers said, “I started ocean dipping during the COVID shutdown as a way to help with anxiety. The challenge of doing something that seemed so irrational and overcoming that trepidation was very empowering.”

Maine Sea Sisters and Flock

of Seagals were two of the newer groups dipping in yellow for Finding Our Voices, at Lincolnville Beach and Rockport Harbor, respectively. Patty Libby of Maine Sea Sisters said when she saw the logos of the dipping group participants on the Finding Our Voices event page, her sister and friends she dips with said, “We gotta get our butts in gear!” They gave themselves a name and her son, who works in marketing, quickly created a buoy-themed logo. Libby said, “Now we have these connections to other cold water groups that we didn’t know existed, and are learning things like, ‘Oh wow, you can actually dip at night!’ It is really neat to know that wherever you are in Maine you can find other strong, powerful women to dip with.”

Finding Our Voices is a collective of Maine survivors creatively and boldly breaking the silence of domestic abuse, one community and conversation at a time. In addition to its bold awareness campaigns featuring the photo portraits of 45 Maine survivors aged 18 to 84 and including Governor Janet T. Mills, Finding Our Voices provides a host of programs to victims, including financial assistance, pro bono dental care, healing retreats, and online support groups. For more information, visit www. findingourvoices.net.

mins, minerals, and antioxidants, which help to boost the immune system.

There are many ways to streamline breakfast and still get to school or to work on time. The following are some tips to save time and enjoy healthy homemade breakfasts each morning.

Put the slow cooker to work.

Slow cookers are not just for dinner. Use them to cook a variety of breakfast foods, including oatmeal, eggs or grits. Simply mix up the ingredients, set on low and let the breakfast cook itself overnight.

Mix up the macros. Macronutrients are the essential nutrients that the body requires in relatively large amounts to function properly and maintain optimal health. There are three primary

macronutrients: carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Nutritionists suggest adding macronutrients to every meal: aim for 20 grams of protein, 15 to 20 grams of fat and about 50 grams of carbs, with at least five grams of fiber.

Develop a custom granola.

Oats, nuts, dried fruits – mix it all up to make a signature granola blend. Personalized blends are easy to eat dry or with milk and make a quick, healthy breakfast.

Embrace the no-cook oatmeal method. Overnight oats never require cooking, and are easily achieved by layering oats, Greek yogurt, applesauce or other fruit purees, cinnamon, and almond milk in a mason jar. Place in the refrigerator overnight for a readymade meal in the morning.

Build a smoothie. Do the

prep work ahead of time by chopping and preparing the ingredients the night before. Or, use frozen vegetables and berries to expedite the job even quicker.

Blend with protein powder, oats and ice. Add a little cold brew coffee and/or almond or oat milk for a little caffeine buzz and a bit of an oat flavor.

Consider breakfast burritos. Pre-scramble eggs with diced peppers and onions and store in containers in the refrigerator. In the morning, place the mixture onto a tortilla, top with cheese and heat in a skillet or in the microwave.

Opting for homemade breakfast options over processed or sugary convenience foods allows one to control ingredients and avoid excess sugar, sodium, and unhealthy fats. Planning and preparing breakfast the night before can save a household time and ensure nutritious choices are made, even on busy mornings.

Investing in a balanced breakfast sets a positive precedent for the rest of the day, promoting healthier eating habits and increased productivity.
