Community Says “Arrivederci Amore and Grazie” OGUNQUIT On February 21, Amore Breakfast owner Leanne Cusimano announced the closing of her restaurant after more than 25 years. After years of growth and success, the restrictions caused by the pandemic began the struggle. “Relying on guidance from busi-

$15.7M in Unclaimed Property! Anyone with questions can call the Treasurer’s office at 1-888283-2808 or locally at 207-6247470. The Office of the Treasurer receives new properties throughout the year. The state Treasury is currently holding more than $275 million of Mainers’ unclaimed property.

AUGUSTA Senator Mark Lawrence, D-Eliot, announced the addition of more than $15.7 million to Maine’s Unclaimed Property Fund, and Mainers are being urged to check whether any of that money belongs to them. “Please consider checking if you have any unclaimed property,” said Senator Lawrence. “It only takes a minute to do so, and you deserve to get your money.” “Unclaimed property” is money owed to Maine people by third parties, such as former employers, banks or utility companies. Organizations are required to give unclaimed property to the State Treasurer after a specified period of time, after which the owner of the unclaimed property can retrieve it from the state.

Unclaimed property could be from a forgotten bank account, an overpaid bill or uncollected wages. This money could be unclaimed as a result of a change in name, addresses or bank account. Year after year, people are surprised to find they might have money waiting for them at the Treasurer’s Office. Particularly during these uncertain times, Mainers are strongly encouraged to take a look and see if they are on the list. People can search the Treasurer’s Unclaimed Property list by going to www.maineunclaimedproperty.gov. Those who find their name, or the name of a current or past business on the list, can claim the property immediately online, for free.

STATEWIDE The pandemic has negatively impacted the lives of many at the very basic needs level. Food insecurity among children has skyrocketed. New responsibilities including distance-learning, maintaining COVID-safe practices and working remotely have further compounded the daily work already being shouldered by moms and head of households. Add to this a newborn baby, loss of a family member, or a household in which both parents work, and the struggle to get food on the table can feel insurmountable.

cal stress, staffing issues, constant unknowns, financial loss, overwhelming responsibility of protecting the health and safety of guests and staff, and sustainability concerns, took the joy and thrill out of running this business,” she continued. See AMORE page 14...

Restaurant Week To Help Out in March STATEWIDE Maine Restaurant Week will continue this March 1-12, but be a little different since two events have been canceled due to the pandemic. Maine Restaurant Week started in 2008 as a way to help restaurants survive the winter months when so many customers move to warmer weather. Your support this year will help give them a boost through the cold season in addition to the challenges of the pandemic. Instead of offering the traditional Restaurant Week threecourse menus, Maine restaurants – many of which are struggling financially – have been asked to simply come up with something creative to offer diners. Restaurant Week specials will also be available for curbside takeout, as well as indoor and outdoor

dining. Prices vary from $2555, however some participating restaurants will serve prix fixe lunches starting at $15. Most importantly for restaurants, the $495 participation fee has been waived this year with help from sponsors L.L. Bean Card Services, Bangor Savings Bank, IDEXX, Norway Savings Bank, and Coffee By Design. As of press time, participating area restaurants include The Boathouse Waterfront Restaurant in Kennebunkport, Nubb’s Lobster Shack in Cape Neddick, Robert’s Maine Grill in Kittery, Sebago Brewing Company in Kennebunk, and The Tiller in Cape Neddick. To see a full and updated listing of restaurants participating in Maine Restaurant Week, visit www.mainerestaurantweek.com/restaurants.

18,000+ volunteers. Lasagna Love exists to deliver comfort where its experienced most often—the family dining table-and to prove that even small displays of kindness can have profound and lasting impact. Their authentic mission is not only to help address the rise in food insecurity among families, but to also provide a simple act of love and kindness during a time of uncertainty and stress. They accomplish this by creating See LASAGNA page 3... Have you seen our

WELLS Wells High School Principal Eileen Sheehy announced in January that senior Kate Pinette has been selected to receive this school year’s Principal’s Award. This annual award, sponsored by the Maine Principals’ Association (MPA), is given in recognition of a student’s academic achievement and citizenship. “Kate is an outstanding leader in our school community and very deserving of this recognition,” commented Principal Sheehy. “She is a dedicated student and athlete and she’s always willing to lend a hand.” Having maintained High Honor Roll status throughout her high school career, Kate Pinette has received several academic awards including a Breakfast of Champions Award, the Dartmouth College Book Award, and the DAR Good Citizenship Award. In addition, she was

recognized as an AP Scholar with Honor. Kate is a member of the National Honor Society, vice-president of the WHS Class of 2021 and treasurer of the Environmental Club.

She also volunteers her time tutoring local elementary students in French. According to WHS Guidance Counselor Sherri Anderson-Wormwood, “Kate…challenges herself academically, seeks leadership opportunities, and volunteers her time to help others.” According to the Maine Principals’ Association website, the MPA Principal’s Award was established in 1984. Each year, high schools that are members of the MPA select one outstanding senior to receive this honor.

It’s important still, as we confront a variant of the virus and as we work around the clock to vaccinate as many people as quickly as possible, that Maine people continue to be careful,” said Governor Mills. “I urge all Maine people to take the steps we know that keep everybody safe — wear your mask, wash your hands, watch your distance and avoid gatherings. These things will keep us all safe during the pandemic and give us a better shot of getting back to normal sooner.” A State of Civil Emergency allows Maine to deploy all available tools to respond to and contain COVID-19. This is Governor Mills’ twelfth extension of the State of Civil Emergency. Under Maine law, Proclamations of Civil Emergencies may be issued in thirty-day increments.

~ News ~ Bill Curbing Plastic Marine Debris Signed into Law WASHINGTON, D.C. U.S. Senators Susan Collins (R-ME) and Angus King ...LASAGNA from page 1 an easy and accessible way for every person to help a neighbor in need in a way that is comfortable and meaningful for them. On average, Lasagna Love today delivers 4,000 meals a week across the country. Lasagna Love was started at the beginning of the pandemic, when the founder of Good to Mama was looking for a way to help moms in her community. She and her toddler started making and delivering meals to families in the neighborhood who were struggling, whether that struggle was financial, emotional, or simply a feeling of overwhelm. Lasagna Love has since grown into a national movement and is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization with thousands of people all cooking and delivering meals to families in their communities. What they do is simple: feed families, spread kindness, and strengthen communities. For more information, visit www. lasagnalove.org or email info@ labradorre.com.

(I-ME) are applauding the signing into law of their Save Our Seas 2.0 Act. The bipartisan bill, introduced in June, seeks to tackle the problem of plastic waste on a global scale by spurring innovation and finding uses for the plastic waste that already exists to keep it from entering the oceans. The legislation builds on the initial progress made by the Save Our Seas Act, which was signed into law in October 2018. “Countless jobs in Maine and in coastal communities across our country rely on the health of the ocean. The Maine lobster, aquaculture, and tourism industries are among the many critical sectors of our economy that are dependent on

Maine’s pristine waters,” said Senator Collins. “I am pleased to see this legislation become law, which will help to accelerate the removal of plastic waste and prevent future marine debris, protecting this vital resource for generations to come.” “Maine’s waters and Maine’s well-being are inextricably linked – meaning any threat to our oceans is also a threat to the livelihood of Maine people,” said Senator King. “By enacting this bipartisan legislation into law, we are building on our vital work to protect our oceans and allow future generations can access its widespread economic potential and its unparalleled beauty.”

Roughly eight million metric tons of mismanaged plastic waste from land enters the oceans each year. Ninety percent of this plastic enters the oceans from ten rivers, eight of which are in Asia. The plastic breaks down into tiny pieces that can enter the marine food chain and harm fish and wildlife and wash ashore on even the most isolated stretches of coastline. Plastic has been found in areas as remote as the Mariana Trench, the deepest

known point in the ocean. Earlier this year, Senator Collins was honored with the Congressional Champion of 2019 Award from ConservAmerica for her leadership in conservation and clean energy initiatives at the organization’s annual dinner. To honor his lifelong environmental stewardship and advocacy, Senator King received the inaugural “Hero” Award last month from the National Park Foundation.

~ Library News ~ Bookmobile Receives Grant, Raising Funds for Noble Seniors NORTH BERWICK The Tri-Town Bookmobile Books for Noble High School 2021 Seniors program goal is to provide literacy support, while inspiring students to remain motivated through the remainder of their senior year and beyond. The program has launched with financial support from Kennebunk Savings. “We really appreciate your efforts to provide social and emotional support to these young adults who are experiencing such an unusual final year of school,” said Doug Smith, Community Relations Coordinator at Kennebunk Savings. The Class of 2021 has continued to persevere through some unexpected changes in their high school plans since last year. They missed opportunities such as visiting colleges in person, career days, SAT testing dates, sports, clubs, prom, socializing with friends, and potentially their tradition-

al graduation ceremony. This program provides an inspirational resource these deserving students can have and refer to for motivation when faced with challenges in their future education, career, and life adventures. The plan is to purchase 215 copies of “The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse” book and distribute one to each of the 2021 NHS Seniors. This specific title has been selected because of its message of hope and inspiration in uncertain times. The program objective is to provide social and emotional support and ensure these students who have lost their expected milestones over the past year remain engaged and understand their efforts are seen and acknowledged with a gift of this book and a note card.

WHS Students Receive Recognition in Art Contest WELLS The Wells High School Art Department announced earlier this winter that nine WHS students have received a combined total of 13 awards in this year’s Maine Region Scholastic Art Award Competition, a regional component of the National Scholastic Art and Writing Contest. According to the Art department, the students’ work was evaluated by a panel of judges based on three criteria: originality, technical skill, and the emergence of personal vision or voice. The group received awards in the categories of Painting, Photography, Comic Art, Ceramics, and Drawing & Illustration. The Art Department at WHS includes Art teachers Emily Knight and Meredith Radford. “Art is meant to be shared,” commented Emily Knight. “I am exceptionally proud of these students who, despite the additional burdens, stressors, and isolating factors in their lives right now, have continued to push themselves academically and creatively and put their work out into the world. Although we aren’t able to see the work displayed physically in Portland this year, I know how proud and deserving these students are for this recognition.” Following is a list of the winners and the categories in which they placed: Lilly Arbelo, a Gold Key in Photography, a Silver Key in Painting and an honorable mention in Photography; Zoe Clark, a Gold Key in Photography and two honorable mentions in Photography; Anavi Curtiss, honorable mention in Comic Art; Anna Franks, honorable mention in Painting; Natalie Hanagan, honorable mention in Photography; Rosemary Norton, honorable mention in Comic Art;

Kai Rosenberg, honorable mention in Ceramics & Glass; Quinn Tremblay, honorable mention in Drawing & Illustration; and Grace Ward, honorable mention in Drawing & Illustration. Gold Key recipients Arbelo and Clark have had their entries advanced to the national level of the contest. According to Knight, the winners at the national level will be announced sometime in March. Founded in 1923, the National Scholastic Art and Writing Contest is described on its website (www.artandwriting. org/awards) as “The nation’s longest-running, most prestigious recognition program for creative teens.” The contest is presented by the Alliance for Young Artists & Writers and is open to 7th through 12th grade students. The contest is organized locally by the Maine College of Art in Portland. Due to the pandemic, a virtual exhibition of this year’s award-winning work can be found online at www.meca.edu/ info-for/educators/maine-regionart-awards/.

~ Arts & Entertainment ~ New Exhibition of Artifacts from the Community KENNEBUNK What kind of artifacts do people donate to the Brick Store Museum? In its new exhibition, “Welcome to the Collection: New Museum Acquisitions,” the museum is showing off the answer. As a local history, art and culture museum, the institution holds over 70,000 items related to the region’s history – and that collection is always growing. In its new exhibition, the museum displays the most-recently donated artifacts, including items like a Civil War drum; a giant American flag c. 1950, wooden skis, 1970s clothing, and early 20th century menus from local restaurants and hotels. This new exhibition joins

the popular “Archaeology in the Archipelago,” exploring 8,000 years of artifacts uncovered during recent archaeological investigations conducted by the Cape Porpoise Archaeological Alliance (CPAA). A highlight of the exhibit is the remains of the oldest dugout canoe ever found in the Wabanaki homeland of the Far Northeast, first identified in 2018 and painstakingly excavated in the summer

Ecomaine Announces ‘Master Recycler’ Course PORTLAND Ecomaine announced the launch of an all-new educational curriculum designed to provide participants with six months of information, activities, and background to certify them as ‘Master Recyclers.’ Like master gardener programs that create a network of trained horticulturists, Ecomaine created the course in response to a growing interest in recycling, composting, and sustainable waste management. “It’s our hope that, with each group of ‘Certified Ecomainiacs,’ we will see more and better ambassadors all around Maine who will advocate for long-term, sustainable solid waste solutions,” said Matt Grondin, Ecomaine’s Communications Manager. “We know Maine residents want to know ‘which bin to put things in,’ and by creating a network of informed recyclers, that knowledge can spread to their neighbors, friends, and families.” The course contains five chapters with activities that can be completed online, in participants’ homes, and around their

own neighborhoods. Each unit ranges in theme, including: the “do’s and don’ts” of recycling; the process of collecting, sorting, and marketing recyclables; local, state, and federal policies; and the value of recycling to the environment and the global supply chain. “There’s so much interest in recycling, and recycling correctly,” said Vanessa Berry, an Ecomaine Environmental Educator, and course moderator. “We want to give people the tools to really

dive into it and make deeper connections with those materials that many people don’t give a second thought to.” The course will start with new cohorts each month; participants will have six months to complete the program and will have access to Ecomaine’s education staff and resources along the way. Potential participants can sign up for more information at www.ecomaine.org/tours-and-

educational-outreach/masterrecycler/ or by calling 207-5233142. Ecomaine is the Portlandbased nonprofit, recycling and waste-to-energy operation that serves a third of the state’s popu-

lation in 70 member communities through single-sort recycling, organics/food waste programming, waste-to-energy, and an ashfill landfill. For more information, go to www.ecomaine. org.

York Hospital Announces New President and CEO YORK The Board of Trustees at York Hospital announced the appointment of Patrick A. Taylor, MD, MBA, as York Hospital’s new President and CEO, effective April 4. Jennifer Cutts, MD and Robin LaBonte will remain as Interim Co-President and CEO until April 4, when they will return to their positions as Chief Medical Officer and Chief Financial Officer, respectively. Dr. Patrick Taylor joins York Hospital directly from Catholic Health Services in South Florida, comprised of 38 facilities offering a continuum of services to over 7,500 older adults, where he provided senior administrative and medical leadership consulting as part of the Emergency Incident Command Team’s response to the pandemic. An emergency medicine physician by training, with a strong health care business and operational background, Dr. Taylor previously spent three decades establishing, building and leading clinical services and staff at Holy Cross Hospital/ Trinity Health (557 beds and $530 million net revenue) in Fort Lauderdale. Positions held there include Director of Emergency Medicine, Director of Medical Affairs, COO, CMO and CEO. His record of demonstrated and community-minded results includes: transforming Holy Cross into an academic teaching hospital, creating infrastructure for clinical research, raising philanthropic support averaging $6-11 million per year, and creating

services and program affiliations for a myriad of medical services, from cardiology and oncology to an ambulatory surgery center. Speaking about the transition in leadership at York Hospital, Board Chairperson Wendy Coté said, “Both Dr. Cutts and Robin LaBonte have done an extraordinary job as Interim Co-President and CEO during a most difficult year and have prepared York Hospital well for the next chapter in its history.” Coté continued, “The Board of Trustees is excited to see how Dr. Taylor will bring his approach of positivity and possibility to his vision and ideas for the future of York Hospital and

CAPE NEDDICK The Trustees of the historic St. Peters By The Sea Episcopal, 535 Shore Road in Cape Neddick, just donated $5,000 to the local Hope Fund administered by the York County Community Action Corp. While the St. Peter’s Guild has provided ongoing funding to the Hope Fund in the past, the pandemic has increased the needs across all assistance programs in York County. The Hope Fund was chosen as the recipient for the gift since it provides assistance to those with emergency needs or with needs that are not answered by existing programs, such as fuel assistance. Grants chairperson Karl Sanford at St. Peter’s remarked, “It’s our mission to reach out during this difficult time to help our neighbors. This is who we are as Episcopalian Christians.” The Episcopal historic church built in 1898 has long stood as a monument of faith

in the coastal community. It’s doors are open to worship at 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. each Sunday from June through October. It depends largely on donations from weekly visitors and fundraising events throughout the summer months. This includes the widely popular Annual Jazz Fest which will be held August 5 this year with a wine and cheese reception following on the oceanfront grounds.

FINANCE & CAREER High Demand Leads to Increase in Sales of Homes AUGUSTA Buyer dema nd for Maine’s real estate is strong and for-sale home inventory is historically low. According to Maine Listings, the median sales price (MSP) for a singlefamily existing home in Maine rose 15.57% to $255,300 and sales volume jumped 18.38% comparing January 2021 to January 2020. The MSP indicates that half of the homes were sold for more and half sold for less. “Residential real estate in 2021 is kicking off in contin-

ued positive territory with sales volume and median sold values significantly out-pacing those of a year ago,” says Aaron Bolster, Broker/Owner of Allied Realty in Skowhegan and 2021 President of the Maine Association of Realtors. “Coming off 2020, the best year ever for sales volume, we are struggling with historically low for-sale inventory statewide. Buyers are facing far fewer available home choices and sellers are reluctant to list their properties without their next move-in property in place. Buyer demand is

strong, and a continuing positive trajectory for 2021 is dependent on homes for sale coming onto the market.” The National Association of Realtors today reported a 23% rise in sales of single-family existing homes across the country comparing January 2021 to January 2020. Home prices jumped 14.8% over January 2020, reaching a national MSP of $308,300 in January 2021. Regionally, sales in the Northeast increased 24.3% and the regional MSP was up 15.8% to $361,400 comparing January 2021 to January 2020.

This is vital work for the future of Maine and for our collective striving toward justice for our neighbors, no matter their race. At the Maine Justice Foundation, we believe that fairness matters.

Hospital Bids Farewell to National Guard at Testing Site YORK Monday, February 15, was a bittersweet day for York Hospital staff and their National Guard compatriots. After coming together to launch the COVID-19 testing site at the York Hospital WalkIn on July 1, 2020, both hospital and military staff bonded over the ensuing months and developed a great working relationship while caring for the community. “When we all started working here this summer to launch COVID-19 testing, we thought it would be for a few weeks. Just like the Guardsmen who were pulled from other service assignments, I was pulled from my position as a patient service representative to help get our COVID-19 testing site staffed and operational,” said York Hospital’s Heather Bird.

Left to right: Master Sergeant Keith Anderson, Master Sargeant Wright, Heather Bird from York Hospital, Private 1st Class Smith and Airman 1st Class Damico.

The deployment went from days to weeks to months, and looking back, Bird said she is grateful to have had the opportunity to work alongside the National Guard, many of whom she now considers friends. “It has been a great partnership and I hope we stay in contact forever,” said Bird. Master Sergeant Keith Anderson added that a total of 10 National Guardsmen rotated through the COVID-19 testing

site located at the York Hospital Walk-In Clinic over the past 230 days. “Together with York Hospital, the Town of York and the State of Maine, we worked together to provide over 36,000 COVID-19 tests to community members and visitors. Most of the time we felt like we were on the ‘front lines’ of gratitude during this pandemic, with many people overwhelmingly positive and grateful to have this local testing operation. We really couldn’t have asked for a better partnership, and we thank York Hospital for allowing our teams to work alongside each other so effectively,” Anderson said. “I don’t know how we could have done it without them,” said Dina Dellapasqua, administrative coordinator of York Hospital walk-in care. “It was very comforting to have the National Guard managing onsite operations as people arrived for testing while hospital staff focused on COVID-19 swabbing and sample collection,” Dellapasqua added.

Flags Lowered in Honor of Lives Lost AUGUSTA Consistent with a directive of the President, Governor Janet Mills ordered the United States and the State of Maine flags be lowered statewide through Friday, February 26 in solemn remembrance of the 500,000 Americans, including 660 Maine people, who have died with COVID-19. “As a state and as a nation, we have suffered unimaginable

loss these last twelve months, but the greatest grief is borne by families whose loved ones are no longer with them because of this deadly disease,” said Governor Janet Mills. “Let us pause in solemn remembrance of the 500,000 Americans, including 660 Mainers, we have lost, honor the lives they lived, and pray for the swift recovery of all those who are still battling this virus.”

Community Health Options Announces Grant Opportunities STATEWIDE Community Health Options is making grant funds available to Maine-based nonprofits now through March 8. Health Options awards grants through its Community Benefits Program (CBP). The Spring 2021 grant cycle targets nonprofit programs and organizations working to promote wellness and community health. Preference will be given to nonprofits helping to treat and manage asthma, coronary artery disease (CAD), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), depression, diabetes, hypertension, and substance use disorder and to helping Maine people living with these conditions to be their best selves mentally, physically, and emotionally. “According to the Maine CDC, heart disease, chronic lower respiratory disease and diabetes are among the leading causes of death in our state, and depression is a common comorbidity. Additionally, opiate overdoses continue to contribute to a staggering loss of life throughout the state,” said Kevin Lewis, president and

CEO. “We are a Maine-based health insurance provider with a vision to transform and improve individual and community health. Helping people manage these health issues is a top priority for us, and we are committed to working with nonprofits that share our vision and can address some of the greatest health threats to Maine people.” Interested nonprofits are encouraged to learn more at the Community Giving section at www.healthoptions.org and to apply by March 8. Recipients will be notified in April. Health Options laid the foundation and made investments for a Community Benefits Program in 2019. The program launched in 2020, just as the pandemic struck. Administered by the Maine Community Foundation, all 2020 grants were directed to helping state-wide nonprofits respond to essential needs brought on by the COVID-19 crisis. Some recipients included the Center for Grieving Children, Maine Coalition to End Domestic Violence, and United Way organizations statewide.

Migraine Sufferers Could Beneﬁt from Green Light Technology WASHINGTON, D.C. People who suffer from migraines or other types of serious headaches could benefit from a new, drug-free, noninvasive therapy. Green light technology could be the answer to alleviating their pain. More than 40 million Americans experience migraines, which can inflict debilitating pain. Employers annually lose in excess of $13 billion due to missed workdays caused by migraine headaches. COVID-19 has made the problem worse, with ten states reporting a surge as high as 54% in migraines caused by stress and anxiety related to the pandemic. A new phenomenon known as “Zoom fatigue” also seems to play a role in the increasing number of headaches. Of the variety of treatment options available for migraine patients, most are ineffective, expensive, invasive or all of the above. But now research from the University of Arizona Health Sciences has revealed a new approach that holds tremendous promise. Their studies show that green light therapy can reduce both the frequency and intensity of headaches, improving patient quality of life. Participants in the study spent 1-2 hours a day for ten weeks in a room lit only by a white light, then spent ten weeks doing the same using a green light. During the weeks of green light exposure, patients reported significantly reduced pain levels and headache duration and great improvements in their ability to sleep, work, and exercise. The UAHS findings further validate previous data compiled by Harvard neuroscientist Dr. Rami Burstein, a world leader in the science of migraine and headache pain who has been studying green light therapy for years. His work showed that a specific, narrow band of green light was effective in reducing photophobia (light sensitivity) and headache severity. The

UAHS study suggested that this green light can even help prevent a migraine attack from happening. Fortunately for headache patients, green light devices are already available on the commercial market, including a relatively inexpensive green light lamp developed and sold by a company called Allay. Migraine patients are always eager to try anything that can help them deal with this inherited neurological disorder, which the World Health Organization has named as one of the 10 most disabling illnesses. Green light therapy could be the just treatment many headache sufferers need. The Weekly Sentinel does not endorse any products or services suggested by third-party sources.

Dear Computer Lady, My OS is Windows. My question in about “My Music” file. Recently I copied and pasted two of my Christmas CDs into the My Music file. I cant get them to play when I select a song. I’m sure I was able to do this before and it seems like I could open #1 and then Win Media player would play all in a loop. I loaded them by opening the CD then using copy and past and I pasted them to “My Music” into a folder I had created there for each CD. I can see all songs in those folders but can’t even play one by opening it with Win Media Player. Now the three songs that come with Windows play OK. What am I doing wrong? Thank you, Gary Dear Gary, You need to copy your music from a CD to your computer using the “Rip” function. Here is how: 1. Insert your CD in the drive; 2. Open Windows Media Player; 3. Click on the CD title in the left column. 4.

~ Ask The Computer Lady ~ Click on “Rip CD” in the menu bar. The CD will automatically be copied to your music folder. Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, Do you know of an easy way to turn my indexing back on? I have a Windows 10 and somehow it got turned off – so my searches aren’t working properly and when I simply click on turn on indexing is just not working. I’ve googled it but I have a come up with a solution yet. Help! Tiffany Dear Tiffany, I can tell you the way that you should be able to turn indexing back on, but if these methods don’t work, then it means there is a problem with Windows 10 and you will probably need to get your computer fixed. First, you can turn on or off indexing for any drive on your computer. Here is how to do that: 1. Open File Explorer using either the link on your taskbar or in the start menu; 2. Click on

“This PC” in the left column; 3. Right-click on your hard drive in the main window, and click “Properties” in the context menu that appears; 4. Make sure the “General” tab is selected in the drive properties dialog box, and make sure there is a check mark at the very bottom where it says, “Allow files on this drive to have contents indexed in addition to file properties”; 5. If there is not check mark there, click to check it off and click the “OK” button at the bottom of the dialog box. Second, you can check to make sure specific locations are indexed. Here is how: 1. Click the start button (or just tap the windows logo key on your keyboard) and type “Indexing Options”; 2. Click on Indexing Options in the start menu; 3. In the Indexing options dialog box, you can view and modify different locations using the “Modify” button; 4. If you suspect the index itself is corrupted, you can click the “Advanced” button and use the “Rebuild button to delete and rebuild the index. (this could take quite a bit of time depending on the amount of files on your drive); 5. When you are finished, click OK and then Close. The last thing you can check is that the indexing service is turned on. Here is how to do that: 1. Click the start button (or just tap the windows logo key on your keyboard) and type, “Services”; 2. Click on Services in the start menu; 3. Scroll down

the list of services until you find “Windows Search” and double click on it; 4. Make sure startup type is set to, “Automatic (Delayed start) and click the “OK” button to save your changes and close the dialog box. Hopefully, adjusting one or more of these settings will fix your searching. Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, I would like to learn how to download a YouTube video to a CD-R. I have a DVD/CD player and I’d like to download an educational video to a CD-R and play it over and over again without using data on my tablet. Thanks, Yvonne Dear Yvonne, Downloading a YouTube video, burning it onto a disk. and then playing it in your DVD player is not impossible, but there are a lot of things to consider. First is the question of legality. Can you legally download the video in question. I am not sure if a video creator has the ability to allow users to download the video or not, I have only been uploading video to You tube for a short period of time. It is important to remember that some people depend on the income from the advertisements that play every time someone views the video. If everyone downloaded their videos, they would no longer have an income. If you have the legal issues resolved, then you need several

more things in place. First, software that will download the You tube videos, and secondly software that will take the downloaded video and burn it onto a disk in a format that your DVD player can use. For downloading videos, I have had good luck with IDM (Internet Download Manager) and I use Roxio Creator for creating a DVD that will be compatible with your player. Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, I have a question I’m hoping you can answer. I use AVG. When the scan is done I get a message “performance issues found” and there is a block to click that says “resolve”. At the top of this page it says resolve with AVG PC tuneup. I never click this box because I don’t know if it costs money. I would rather not pay extra if I don’t have to. Thank you, Carolyn Dear Carolyn, You don’t need to click on the box, it is purely advertising and they do want you to buy an additional program. I would advise that you just ignore it. If you feel that your computer needs a tune-up, it would be better to bring it to your local computer shop. Elizabeth Interested in learning more?

Martin E. Ryan, 73 WELLS – On Friday, February 19, 2021, Martin Edward Ryan, loving husband, father, educator, coach, and mentor, passed away unexpectedly but peacefully at the age of 73. Marty was born on May 3, 1947 in Gardner, MA. He is the son of Herbert Wilton Ryan and was blessed to have two mothers; Mildred Seaver Ryan who brought him into the world and Leona McGowan Ryan who raised him from the age of eleven. He played football at American International College and received his Bachelor of Arts degree in Business Administration in 1969. He later pursued graduate studies at Clark University, the University of Massachusetts Amherst and the University of Southern Maine and earned the distinction of being a Certified Master Athletic Administrator. Marty was married to his high school sweetheart, Judy (Easterbrooks) Ryan of Wells, for 51 years and was a loving father to daughter Amy of Nashville, TN, and son Tim of Brunswick. Marty began his career as an educator at Narragansett Regional High School (MA) where he taught business courses while rising to the level of head coach of the baseball, basketball and football teams. In 1979 he and his family moved to Wells where he began a 29 year career as a teacher, coach and administrator prior to his retirement in 2009. Marty

was the Athletic Director and the Director of Student Activities at Wells High School for 21 years before becoming the Director of Athletics for grades 6-12 in the Kennebunk school system in 2001. Marty deeply valued the role athletics can play in bringing a community together and treasured watching students develop both academically and athletically during his time as an educator and administrator. Marty’s devotion to his profession extended beyond his local community as he was an active member and leader of athletic administrator organizations both in Maine and nationally. From 2000 to 2001 he served as President of the National Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association (NIAAA) and served as the Executive Director of the Maine Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association (MIAAA) for over 20 years. Marty loved spending time with his fellow athletic administrators and was proud and grateful to have the annual MIAAA Award of Excellence named in his honor. Marty was inducted into the Maine Sports Hall of Fame in 2000, the Wells High School Hall of Fame in 2005, the Narragansett Regional Hall of Fame in 2007, and the Maine Principals’ Association Hall of Excellence in 2014. He was also recognized for his outstanding leadership several times, including MIAAA Athletic Director of the Year (1987), NIAAA State Award of Merit (1994), National Federation of High Schools Citation (1995), the NIAAA Distinguished Service Award (1997) and the NIAAA Athletic Director of the Year (2005). Of Marty’s numerous accomplishments and recognitions he was most proud to have been inducted into the NIAAA National Hall of Fame in 2011 while surrounded by his peers and family. Marty was an avid fly-fisherman who treasured his annual

trips to Pierce Pond and Grand Lake Stream in Maine. His passion for fly fishing took him across the country and to Canada in pursuit of a perfect cast and one more fish on the line. During his retirement he was a volunteer at Sanford Golf Club, where he also took pride in the long awaited improvement to his golf game, which included two holes-in-one during his career. He also enjoyed volunteering at the food pantry at St. Mary’s Catholic Parish in Wells. Marty loved attending Maine athletic administrator conferences at the Samoset Resort (ME) and national conferences and committee meetings across the country with his wife Judy. He could often be found at high school sporting events, usually with one eye on the action and one eye on event operations. Most of all, Marty loved his family and friends, taking care of his home of 42 years and helping others whenever possible. He was predeceased by his parents, sister Betty Kozlowski, and brothers Herb and Ralph Ryan. Marty is survived by his wife of 51 years, Judy (Easterbrooks), his daughter Amy and her husband Chris Sunday, and son Tim and his wife Jennie Ryan. He is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews and their families, and by hundreds of students, teachers, coaches, and administrators, that he strived to positively impact during his life. A celebration of Marty’s life will be held in Wells on Friday, June 25, at 11 a.m. at Holy Spirit

Parish, St. Mary’s Church in Wells. The family suggests those who wish to express sympathy to consider making a donation in Marty’s name to a local charity of their choice or one of three organizations that support Marty’s life passions: St. Mary’s Ecumenical Food Pantry, 236 Eldridge Road, Wells, ME 04090; Maine Sports Hall of Fame Scholarship Fund (www.mshof. com/donations/); or Wells High School Scholarship Fund, c/o Principal Sheehy, 200 Sanford Road, Wells, ME 04090.

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.

~ Pets ~ Safe Haven Humane Society WELLS Simba is a beautiful 15-yearold black kitty whose best friend is Peanut, age 13, black and white. Both kitties’ favorite activity is simply being together. As you can see in the photo, they are constantly at each other’s side, which makes them even more precious. They ask for nothing but a peaceful life together. They were owner-surrendered and we promised them we’d find them a happy home where they can stay together forever. Peanut, female, is very friendly and comfortable around people, and shows her affection readily. But Simba, a male, is a bit reserved. He needs a little time to feel safe before he relaxes and lets you pet him. Both kitties would be most comfortable in a home that’s quiet and roomy enough for them to find their own space until they’re acclimated. Peanut will surely come around first, then show Simba they’re safe and can relax in their new home. That’s what best friends do! They would be happiest being the only pets in the home. Because Simba and Peanut

Safe Haven Humane Society

are considered senior citizens, their adoption fees are waived. We just want them to be happy

together, forever. If you are interested in adopting this sweet and deserving pair, please call Safe Haven’s adoption center at 207-646-1611 and arrange a convenient time to get to know them in person. You can also fill out an adoption application on our site at www.safehavenhumanesociety.org. Our adoption center is at 1420 Post Road, right next to

Emma’s Angels NORTH BERWICK Our sweet pup of the week is Pauly! He is a five-month-old Lab mix from Louisiana looking for a happy home. Pauly is up-todate on his shots, neutered, has a little bobbed tail, and is ready for winter fun and summers by the lake! An ideal home would be a house with a fenced yard and kids aged over seven. If you would like to meet Pauly, call 207-676-5599. Emma’s Angels Rescue is an all-volunteer, foster-based organization in North Berwick. Needed at this time is canned paté cat food. It can be left at our drop box at 30 Meeting House Road, North Berwick. Thank you!

Animal Welfare Society KENNEBUNK This week’s featured pet is two-year-old Ginny. As you may recall from her online blog post, she’s a girl who likes to go, go, go! Sitting around waiting for a family to adopt her is just not her style. She’d rather be out there climbing on rocks, barking at squirrels, and dashing through the snow! Ginny would prefer her new home have no cats or small children because she may play a little too rough. She is really smart, listens well and eager to please!

Bauer Hockey Designs Skate Honoring NHL’s First Black Player NEW ENGLAND As an extension of its commitment to making hockey more diverse and inclusive, Bauer Hockey designed a custom skate graphic celebrating the achievements and life of Willie O’Ree, the National Hockey League’s first Black player. The design features an image of O’Ree and inspirational phrases related to the movement for equality. Skates with this design will be worn on the ice by several NHL players across the league. O’Ree, who was inducted

into the Hockey Hall of Fame as in 2018, made history on January 18, 1958 when he laced up his skates for the Boston Bruins in a game against the Montreal Canadiens. Recognizing this historic milestone–as well as Willie’s contributions to the game, which include serving as the NHL’s Diversity Ambassador, a role in which he has introduced more than 130,000 boys and girls from underrepresented backgrounds to the sport of hockey–Bauer Hockey will debut this skate during Black History Month.
