MHS Presents Disney’s “Frozen: the Broadway Musical”

SOUTH BERWICK -

In June of 2022, the Educational Theatre Association, Music Theatre International, and Disney Theatrical Group opened applications for high schools to enter a contest for one high school from each state or territory in the United States to debut a local production of Disney’s “Frozen: The Broadway Musical” in 2023-January 2024. South Berwick’s Marshwood High School (MHS) won the “United States of Frozen” contest, and will be presenting the statewide live theater debut starting Friday, March 31.

The nationwide competition called out to high schools to

be the first in their state to produce the live show in their local communities. Applicants were asked to describe their unique vision of “Frozen,” and how they will use the theme, “Love is an Open Door,” as an opportunity to strengthen their school

community, provide outreach to underserved groups, and support inclusive and diverse theatre programs. MHS Musical Director Bianca Pietro sent in an application that included her vision for the show, her ideas of how to keep the school and community

involved, and her mission of how to overcome obstacles, welcome people who are different, and shape lives through theatre education. “I am so excited about the opportunity to bring this production to the high school and to the community!” Pietro said.

When applying, Bianca included her vision. “We hope to have a theatre for audiences to experience high school students performing for both their peers and the local community’s

Local Vietnam War Veterans Day Observance

BERWICK -

The Vietnam War Veterans Recognition Act was signed into law in 2017, designating every March 29 as National Vietnam Veterans Day. This specific date was chosen because the 29th of March in 1973 was the last day U.S. combat troops departed Vietnam. Additionally, on or about this day, Hanoi released the last of its acknowledged Prisoners of War.

Some 48,000 men and women from the state of Maine answered the nation’s call to Vietnam, while an additional 16,000 Mainers were serving worldwide during the Vietnam War era. There are 341 names etched on the black granite wall known as the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. The Mainers whose names are etched in stone at the memorial came from 151 cities, towns, islands and

hamlets across the state, two of whom called Berwick their home town. As of this date, 12 Maine soldiers are still officially classified as “missing.”

“Maine’s Vietnam-era veterans are a special group of people who sacrificed so much for our country. It is our responsibility to honor them for their courage and dedication in the face of danger and remember all of those who paid the ultimate price for our

freedom,” said Maine Bureau of Veterans’ Services Director, David Richmond.

A National Vietnam War Veterans Day Observance will be held at 11 a.m. in the Berwick Town Hall Auditorium, 11 Sullivan Street, Berwick. Area residents are invited to join the men and women of American Legion Post #79 and Veterans of

Author Talk for “Code Name Sapphire”

YORK -

The public is invited to attend an exciting virtual trip, as New York Times bestselling historical fiction author Pam Jenoff talks about her newest book, “Code Name Sapphire.”

In “Code Name Sapphire,” a woman must rescue her cousin’s family from a train bound for Auschwitz in this riveting tale of bravery and resistance.

It’s 1942 and Hannah Martel has narrowly escaped Nazi Germany after her fiancé was killed in a pogrom. When her ship bound for America is turned away at port, she has nowhere to go but to her cousin Lily, who lives with her family in Brussels. Fearful for her life, Hannah is desperate to escape occupied Europe. But with no safe way to leave, she must return to the dangerous underground work she thought she had left behind.

Seeking help, Hannah joins the Sapphire Line, a secret resis-

tance network led by a mysterious woman named Micheline and her enigmatic brother Mateo.

But when a grave mistake causes Lily’s family to be arrested and slated for deportation to Aus-

chwitz, Hannah finds herself torn between her loyalties. How much is Hannah willing to sacrifice to

Winners receive production performance rights for three performances, along with the script and score materials.

“Frozen” is based on Hans Christian Anderson’s “The Snow Queen.” The adaptation to animated film in 2013 retains the central theme of “regeneration through faith.” As the highest-grossing animated film of all time, the story is well-known for its theme of “true love” between two sisters. The stage adaptation opened on Broadway in March of 2018, but unfortunately was suspended on March 11, 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. On May 14, 2020, Disney Theatrical Productions announced that “Frozen” would not reopen on Broadway following the pandemic. The production cost about $35 million to mount, attracted attendance of over 1.3 million and grossed over $150 million, grossing up to to 90% of its box office potential. It did not perform as well, however, as Disney’s “The Lion

King” or “Aladdin.” Therefore, Disney chose to close “Frozen,” judging that after the pandemic, running three of their shows on Broadway simultaneously was not economically feasible.

The Broadway production of “Frozen” is currently on tour in North America.

The film’s co-director and screenwriter, Jennifer Lee, and songwriting team Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, penned new musical numbers for the stage, in addition to the standard musical numbers established from the movie. In 2019, Disney released the rights to live productions of “Frozen, Jr.,” a 60-minute adaptation for middle school-aged performers, and “Frozen Kids,” a 30-minute adaptation for elementary school-aged performers, which continue to delight students in grades K-9 around the world. The full-length version of “Frozen” is currently not available for wider licensing,

making “The United States of Frozen” a truly momentous celebration of this timeless story.

An additional fundraiser to help with production costs, “Exploring Arendelle,” is happening on Saturday, March 25, sponsored by Snapology of Dover, 826 Central Ave Suite 1, Dover, NH. This workshop will offer creative building activities and games that will inspire participants to explore this world of fantasy that is rooted in Scandinavian culture and geography. Attendees will design LEGO

models inspired by “Frozen,” creating grand ice palaces and 3-D models of snowmen and trolls. Music, singing, dancing, snacks and more are planned for

the fundraiser, which runs 9:3010:30 a.m. All proceeds from the workshop will benefit the MHS’s Theatre Department.

Groundbreaking Women Presentation at the Library

KENNEBUNKWomen of the last century worked tirelessly to open doors that had always been closed before. Hear the stories of three local women that each in their

own way, fought barriers and rose to levels their mothers could never imagine.

Eva Barnfather started her career as an airline “stewardess” in 1944, worked as a teacher and became the first female vice principal in her Massachusetts community.

Barbara Sharood (pictured) was a member of the first Georgetown University class to admit women. She graduated in 1958 as valedictorian – summa cum laude. Barbara is pictured leading the way in the accompanying photo.

Diantha DD Harrington received her law degree in 1966 at Cornell Law School as one of five female students in a class of 150. She practiced law in Los Angeles, CA, then after marrying moved to Boston and worked in insurance and as a legal consultant for the Massachussetts land court.

Each woman has a great story, and presenters at Kennebunk Free Library are grateful for their willingness to share them on Tuesday, March 28 at

6:30 p.m. There are so many more women with similar stories, and the presenters hope audience members might join in and share their stories with the community.

This program is free and wheelchair accessible. The Kennebunk Free Library is located at 112 Main Street in Kennebunk. For more information, call 207-985-2173 email kfl@ kennebunklibrary.org.

Museum Fundraiser for Building Preservation Celebrates 198 Years

KENNEBUNK -

The Brick Store Museum was founded by American artist Edith Barry in 1936. The museum’s main building, the Brick Store, is 198 years old this year and is in need of major brick preservation on its two iconic chimneys.

Webinar Highlights “A Tale of Two Turners: Furniture from 1675-1760”

YORKOld York Historical Society (OYHS)’s executive director and chief curator Joel Lefever presents an informative webinar about York’s earliest known furniture makers, Thomas Donnell and John Sedgley. While it was known that the makers were active in York, no furniture had ever been linked to them until recently. Lefever was able to identify numerous pieces by the two furniture makers, and has put together a visual story of their oeuvre.

Born in York, Thomas Donnell (1630-1699) was the son of a fisherman. He opened a turning shop in town around 1675, producing the earliest surviving chairs made in York, two of which are in OYHS’s permanent collection.

In 1713 John Sedgley (16871745), a young woodturner, arrived in York after apprenticing ed as a turner in London, England.

Lefever is a published furniture historian. His interest in American architecture and decorative arts was sparked by a childhood collection of old antiques magazines, and honed through degrees from Hope College, Holland, MI, and the Cooperstown Graduate Program in history museum studies in New York. Joel established Lefèbvre Museum Consulting, before taking up with Old York in 2012.

The webinar is on Wednesday, March 29 at 6:30 p.m. This program is presented via Zoom, and is free, but registration is required to attend. For more information, www.oldyork.org.

peacefully on Saturday, March 4, 2023 after living with advancing Parkinson’s Disease for more than 25 years. He was surrounded by his daughters.

Robert was born May 21, 1949, the son of Meredith and Stella (Thompson) Clement. He graduated North Berwick High School in 1968. He served two years in Korea with the U.S. Army during Vietnam.

Rob spent his adult working years with Hussey Seating Company in North Berwick. He started in the structural steel shop, ran the warehouse for several years and ultimately supervised the paint shop. He was outgoing and built many friendships at Hussey’s through the years.

Rob was a loving father to his two daughters, Sheri and Amy. He never missed their sports competitions, regardless of distance or weather. He especially loved watching the Noble girls basketball team and was often one of just a few in the stands. Rob navigated raising two daughters the best he could, and there has never been a doubt that his devotion to them was unmatched.

Rob loved fast cars (specifically corvettes), the Fryeburg fair, boating, waterskiing, fishing, the New England Patriots, Willie Nelson, black raspberry ice cream, ketchup, “hole in the wall” eateries, and everything sweet – likely learned and perpetuated by the fresh baked goods and candy jar at his late mom’s house at all times. He also loved his friends, and he built

many solid relationships over the years. A few notable memories are school days shenanigans with Oscar Stone, weeks at Fryeburg fair with Andy Fiel and Steve Brackett, any ride to anywhere with Zeke Wentworth, Sunday breakfast with cousin Glenn Thompson, and that notorious town meeting every Wednesday night at Rob’s house. This was an open invitation gathering to discuss town politics, reminisce with tall tales, and have a drink or two. Participants varied, but it is where one could frequently find Andy, Steve, Zeke, Armand Pay, Joel, Nelson Gibbs, Peter Cook, and the late Bob Desrochers.

Rob is survived by his daughters, Sheri Clement (husband Joel Levesque) of North Berwick and Amy Hallowell (partner Dan Hodsdon) of Nottingham, NH; granddaughters, Jillian Levesque and Sophie Hodsdon; in-laws, nieces, nephews, and many lifelong friends.

He is predeceased by his brother Dale Clement; son-inlaw Wesley Hallowell; and two of his best friends, Steve Brackett and Everett Chadbourne.

The family would like to extend thanks to Home Health Care Specialists of Southern Maine and New Hampshire for their genuine, compassionate inhome care for Rob over the last ten years, specifically caregivers Nikki, Cristy, and Griffin.

Graveside services will be held at 1 p.m. on May 5, at the Evergreen Cemetery in Berwick. A celebration of life will immediately follow. Friends who wish may contribute to the Noble Girls Basketball Booster Club or the Run For Fox Sake 5K in Berwick (www.runsignup. com/forfoxsake5k), which will be dedicated to his memory this fall. Arrangements are entrusted to the Johnson Funeral Home in North Berwick, where condolences may be shared at www. johnsonfuneralhomeme.com.

Joshua Gaston White, 35

YORK – Joshua Gaston White, 35, passed away on Wednesday afternoon, March 15, 2023, surrounded by his loving family after a courageous battle with cancer.

Joshua was born on August 8, 1987, in Portsmouth, NH, the son of Patrick V. and Monica (Wood) White. He graduated from York High School in 2005, and went on to earn his associate degree in information technology at York Community College.

Joshua had a passion for French cuisine and spent his formative years visiting his grandparents’ chalet and villa in France. He loved the quiet of the countryside and embraced French culture whenever he could.

In addition to his love of food, Joshua enjoyed cooking, working at Ruby’s Restaurant in York throughout high school and college. His famous chocolatedipped peanut butter balls were a cherished treat among friends and family, especially during the holiday season.

In 2011, Joshua moved to the Upper Valley area of New Hampshire to start his career in technology working at the Medical School of Dartmouth College. He later transferred to the Tuck Business School at Dartmouth, where he worked as an information technology analyst until his illness forced him to leave. During his time in the Upper Valley, he lived next to his cousin and wife, becoming a close friend and advisor to their three daughters.

He loved anime like “Overlord,” and was an avid gamer. His ability to focus and learn allowed Joshua to master video games. Some of his best times were playing games like Ultima Online with his brother and cousins. Despite his expertise, Joshua remained humble and appreciative when playing with others. Joshua also loved playing Dungeons & Dragons with friends and family. He was a skilled Dungeon Master and had a unique ability to navigate the twists and turns of a story with grace and creativity. He loved to add unexpected twists to keep his best friends guessing, and was happiest when those around him were smiling and having fun.

STATEWIDEThe Maine Council on Aging (MCOA) just received major support for its efforts to create an Age-Positive Maine, with a three-year, nearly $300,000 grant from Point32Health Foundation. This grant will expand MCOA’s impact in eliminating ageism through education, advocacy and research.

The new grant funding from Point32Health Foundation supports three MCOA programs: the Power in Aging Project, Equity & Healthy Aging Initiative, and Tri-State Learning Collaborative on Aging.

“Core to our work is growing the number and kinds of people directly engaged in efforts to build an Age-Positive culture in Maine,” said Jess Maurer, executive director of the Maine Council on Aging. “This investment from Point32Health Foundation enables us to work with leaders from every sector to eliminate age-bias and promote age-positivity, to break down barriers facing diverse older Mainers, and support shared learning on healthy aging initiatives across borders.”

“The Maine Council on Aging is a leader in the movement to advance equity in aging,” said Nora Moreno Cargie, president, Point32Health Foundation, and vice president, Corporate Citizenship, Point32Health.

“Their advocacy and educa-

tional programs are centered in community, include the voices of diverse older people, and will help eradicate ageism while advancing collaboration in the region.”

MCOA’s Power in Aging Project offers businesses and organizations the opportunity to learn about ageism, its impacts and how to address it through interactive programming. An important part of the Power in Aging Project is the Leadership Exchange on Ageism, an innovative, reflective peer-learning leadership experience.

The first of its kind in the nation, the Leadership Exchange helps leaders to see their own age-bias, understand how agebias operates at every level, and learn how to use available tools to

disrupt age-bias to create a more age-positive culture in our communities, institutions and systems. Eighty-four leaders from a multitude of sectors have already graduated from this program that is garnering national attention. Three more cohorts will be offered this year, thanks in part to the support of Point32Health Foundation.

After more than a year of work focused on ageism and its intersection with racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia and transphobia, the MCOA will soon issue an action plan for Equitable Aging in Maine to ensure greater equity and inclusion in communities, institutions and systems for all older adults, especially those who have experi-

enced generations of institutional and systemic discrimination. The Point32Health Foundation grant will support the implementation of parts of this plan through the Equity & Healthy Aging Initiative.

“We’re well positioned to

move the needle on building age-equitable systems in Maine that support positive, connected, inclusive, and healthy living later in life,” Maurer noted. “This multi-year grant from Point32Health Foundation will help make real progress toward this goal.”

The Maine Bureau of Veterans’ Services was established in 1947 by the State of Maine and is part of the Maine Department of Defense, Veterans and Emergency Management. Their mission is to help Mainers who served, and

their loved ones, understand and navigate the benefits, services, and programs available to them. The Bureau does this by being a responsive, experienced, and dedicated advocate. The Bureau is headquartered at Camp Keyes, has seven field service offices located throughout the state, and a claims office located at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, at Togus. The Bureau also operates the Maine Veterans’ Memorial Cemetery System, which includes four veterans’ cemeteries. For more information, visit www. maine.gov/veterans.

Growing older comes with many perks for those who are open to exploring the benefits. In addition to senior discounts on movies, meals and more, moving into one’s golden years could offer some

breaks when it comes to taxes and finances.

It is always best to go over tax- and finance-related plans with an accountant or certified financial planner to figure out what is in your best interest. However,

generally speaking, here are some potential age-related tax perks. Increase retirement savings. Older individuals can contribute more to employer-sponsored retirement accounts and Roth or traditional individual retirement accounts (IRAs), according to AARP. For 2023, the contribution limit for employees who participate in 401(k) and 403(b) programs, most 457 retirement savings plans and Thrift Savings Plan through the U.S. Federal Government can increase their contributions to $22,500, a jump of $2,000 from last year. Those over age 50 can maximize contributions even more, up to a total of $30,000. Larger standard deduction.

The Balance Money says for tax year 2022, people age 65 or older can add an extra $1,750 to the standard deduction they’re eligible for if they are unmarried and not a surviving spouse. Those who are married and file joint returns can add $1,400. For tax year 2023, those amounts go up to $1,850 and $1,500. In addition,

the standard eligible deductions increased. Most older taxpayers feel the bigger standard deduction plus the extra standard deduction is more than any itemized deductions they can claim and choose this option when filing their returns.

Reduce taxable income.

The ability to contribute more to tax-defered retirement accounts enables older adults to reduce their taxable incomes. This, in turn, reduces the amount that needs to be spent on income taxes.

Changes in filing threshold. According to The Arbor Company, which oversees senior living communities, the filing threshold is the income that must be made before being required to file a tax return. Typical taxpayers who are either employees or retired and drawing pensions or Social Security find the threshold increases over age 65. Single filers over age 65 do not need to file returns if their incomes are $14,050 or under. Married filers over age 65 have a threshold of $27,400. If

primary or sole income comes from Social Security or a pension, those over age 65 may not have to file returns at all.

Elderly or disabled tax credit. Differing from deductions, a credit for taxpayers is available to people age 65 or older or retired persons on permanent and total disability who receive taxable disability income for the tax year, according to the Internal Revenue Service. In addition, this credit is for those who have an adjusted gross income or the total of nontaxable Social Security, pensions, annuities, or disability income under specific limits. The eligibility levels change from year to year. Credits range from $3,750 to $7,500.

These are some of the tax breaks American seniors can expect when filing their income tax returns. Speak with an accountant and financial planner about other perks that come with aging. Individuals also can visit www.irs.gov for further information.

MMS 6th Graders Give Back

BERWICK / ELIOT -

The Table of Plenty Soup Kitchen in Berwick may be across the tracks, but Marshwood Middle School’s (MMS) sixth graders are all about giving back. The class recently received

a huge “Thank you!” from Table of Plenty for donating more than 1,000 items in only 12 days. In December, toiletries were collected to make baskets to give out to local families in need. There is an abundance of

sixth graders who want to serve at the soup kitchen, and some of them have already recently completed their second visit to the charity. Students volunteer after school to prepare and serve meals to families in need, even making desserts to bring in to serve there. MMS is proud to provide their students with these opportunities to give back, as it is so rewarding for the students to care for others in their community.

The Basics of Vertical Farming

NATIONWIDEFarms often inspire awe, thanks to their beauty and the serenity of the areas that surround them. Though no farms may inspire such feelings as strongly as those in the heart of the countryside, another type of farm can induce a sense of awe as well.

Vertical farms vary in size, but the largest ones mimic the appearance of skyscrapers, if the skyscrapers were made from plants. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, increasing production of fresh greens and vegetables near urban populations could become more of a necessity in the decades to come. That’s because estimates from the United Nations indi-

cate the global population could exceed nine billion persons by 2050, by which time two-thirds of the world’s people will live in urban settings. Vertical farming could be vital to meeting the demands for healthy foods by 2050, making it worth anyone’s while to gain a basic understanding of this unique way to grow fresh fruits and vegetables.

What is vertical farming?

Vertical farming is a type of controlled environment agriculture, or CEA. According to the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, CEA combines engineering, plant science and computermanaged greenhouse control technologies to optimize plant growing systems. CEA systems

enable stable control of the plant environment, maki ng it possible for growers to control temperature, light and CO2 during the growing process.

Vertical farms grow foods in stacked layers, which gives large vertical farms their skyscraper-like appearance. Some vertical farms employ techniques similar to greenhouses, utilizing natural light when available and augmenting that with artificial lighting to ensure the plants grow regardless of the conditions outside.

What are some advantages

to vertical farming? Perhaps the biggest advantage to vertical farming is the potential for the practice to meet future food demands in a way that the USDA deems environmentally responsible and sustainable. Vertical farming operations in urban areas can offer lower emissions because fresh fruits and vegetables will not need to be transported from rural areas to urban locales.

The USDA also notes that vertical farming operations reduce water runoff by a considerable margin, helping to conserve water. Vertical farms are also helpful in continuing large produce production in spite of increasing climate change. Produce grown in a controlled environment is at much less risk of falling victim to drought and extreme temperature increases than produce grown outdoors in the ground. Indoor farms are also less prone to invasions by invasive bugs and disease, reducing the need to use pesticides and herbicides on the crops.

A Vertical Harvest farm in Jackson, Wyoming, produces 100,000 pounds of vegetables per year and uses a fraction of

the water of traditional farms with similar outputs. Utilizing hydroponics and moving carousels, Vertical Harvest consumes 90% less water than traditional farms.

Access to nutrient-rich foods is another benefit to vertical farms. As urban populations grow and climate change affects crop yields, city dwellers may struggle to procure healthy, nutrient-rich foods like fruits and vegetables. Vertical farming operations that are not vulnerable to climate change can eliminate that concern, ensuring urban populations access to healthy, nutritious foods.

Vertical farms can be aweinspiring and figure to play a vital role in the future of agriculture.

KENNEBUNK -

Hi there, friends. My name is Milly! Although if you want, you can call me Milly the Magnificent because everything I do is just so wonderful and, well, magnificent! Life is very exciting to me and I take every day as a new adventure and a new way to make friends. That’s why when the staff here at AWS said I was going to be a featured pet at both the Weekly Sentinel and on the AWS blog this week, my tail just couldn’t stop wagging!

As stated above, I’m a funloving and active girl who loves to meet new people and insert myself into all situations and conversations. I love to be the center of attention! I arrived at AWS on February 9 just over a month ago, and I’ve been having a blast and moving fast ever since. Although it’s wonderful here and I’ve made many new friends, I would love to find a happy home of my own where I can bond with my new people and really let my silly side shine through. I’d be great to have at barbecues and pool parties! Of course, it’s not all go, go, go with me all the time, as I also love to take naps and snuggle on the couch. I love action movies and rom-coms and especially films where the dog is the star. Lady and the Tramp? One of the best!

I’m ready to make my way home with you and I can’t wait for the day that I get that phone call. I’ll be bouncing off the walls for sure! If you live an adventurous and active lifestyle and like to go for hikes, walks, swims, and long car adventures with the windows down, I’m the girl for you! Please oh pretty please give the folks here at AWS a call and ask about the Magnificent Milly. I guarantee they’ll be so happy to chat about me, especially about how humble I am! Also, this week brought the first day of spring and since the sun is shining, the birds are singing and the weather is turning warm, I feel like the universe is giving me a sign. This week is going to be the week of Milly! I can feel it in my paws, and I’m ready to make my mark on the world.

WELLSArchie is a hunk. His gorgeous buff color and stocky build are a delight to the eyes when he shows up for some fun and treats. This gentle boy survived a traumatic past, living life in the wild and on the edge. Being trapped to bring him to safety scared him all the more. It’s a good thing Archie was removed from his environment, because his companion (and possibly his father) was ill when he was trapped. The autopsy proved the death was caused by rat poisoning.

Someone was putting poison outside. Many people don’t realize poison is also fatal to any animal that eats an animal who died from poison.

Even after a quarantine period and medical care, poor shy Archie would still hide from our Safe Haven volunteers for weeks. Finally he left his condo and ventured out into his freeroaming room at Safe Haven.

This gentle boy never showed any aggression, only

RECORDS

a lack of trust and confidence. That’s totally normal for cats who have lived outside, or have endured frightening or abusive experiences in the past.

Initially, Archie hissed at the volunteers, but our dedicated cat socializers brought him treats with each visit. Gradually he began to look forward to seeing a human enter the room, because it meant goodies! Eventually, he even accepted treats right out of their hands! Now he licks “squeeze-up treats” off the volunteers’ fingers.

Archie is getting accustomed to the touch of a human hand, as volunteers approach him slowly and pet him gently. Good things are worth waiting for! Archie is such a good kitty and is finally letting go of his fear and mistrust.

Archie has progressed to the point where we feel he is ready to join the right family or person who will continue the socialization he’s getting at Safe Haven. We know from experience that when a shy cat moves into a quiet home that has a regular routine and loving reinforcement of treats and companionship, they become even more confident and happier. They truly love being part of the household’s life and daily activities.

Increasing Sports Participation

STATEWIDEParticipating in youth sports is a great way to keep kids healthy and socially engaged. Sports are one way to help them be physically active most days of the week. And if the fields filled with players across neighborhoods are any indication, many children still respond to the call of various youth leagues and teams. Still, overall participation in youth sports is down from where it was a decade ago. The Aspen Institute, through its Project Play initiative, reviewed research from the Sports & Fitness Industry Association and found that, in 2018, only 38% of kids between the ages of six and 12 played sports that year, which was down from 45% in 2008. There are some eye-opening reasons behind why some children may be less inclined to join in, and those reasons also offer insight into how this issue can be overcome.

Cost

The Aspen Institute found the average cost per year for sports participation per child and per sport was around $695. Ice hockey and field hockey were two of the most costly sports to play. ESPN reports that low-income families are half as likely to play sports as children from homes with higher incomes, simply because of cost. Children who want to participate can look for recreational leagues or school-subsidized programs that may require little to no cost for participation. Equipment donation and swaps are some additional ways that participants can keep their spending down. In addition, many towns are now integrating after-school sports activities with their Parks & Recreation department, making participating in sports activities

Maine McDonald’s All Stars at SCA

SOUTH BERWICK

Members of the Seacoast Christian Academy (SCA) basketball program were honored at the 2023 Maine McDonald’s Senior All-Star banquet and games on March 11-12 in Bangor. The weekend was arranged by the Maine Association of Basketball Coaches and was started in 1981. Players and coaches are selected through a statewide ballot submitted by Maine High School Coaches who vote for players in all classes.

Breckyn Winship was selected to play in the Girls Class C/D All-Star game at Husson College in Bangor. Breckyn finished the regular season averaging 17.3 points and 12.2 rebounds per game. She also contributed 4.3 steals to go along with 1.4 assists per game. Breckyn scored over 20 points in six of Seacoast’s 18 games including a seasonhigh 30 points against St. Dom’s in a 48-33 victory. As a junior, Breckyn helped lead her team to the Class D Southern Regional Championship as they finished as State Runners up. She was chosen by the Southern Maine Tournament Committee to receive the Patricia Gallagher Award as the Region’s Most Outstanding Player. Breckyn has been nominated multiple times for the Seacoastonline Athlete

of the Week over the past two seasons. Breckyn joins her teammate from last season, Kaitlyn Jandreau, as the second Seacoast Guardian selected to play in the McDonald’s Game.

Daniel Poirier was selected as a member of the 2023 Maine McDonald’s Senior All-Academic Team. Dan is a second-year player and starter at Seacoast Christian. Dan is a dedicated and committed student-athlete.

Carrying a grade point average of well over 4.0, Dan challenges himself by taking advanced classes at Seacoast as well as enrolling in multiple college-level classes. Daniel is very committed to his faith as well as his learning and is exploring

a mission trip to Tanzania. To prepare for this, he has registered for classes to learn to speak Swahili. Dan is eligible for the Maine McDonald’s Academic Scholarship.

The Maine Academic AllStars are chosen by meeting the necessary criteria and an application process that is reviewed by a selection board. Only 10 boys and girls are selected across all five classes of basketball.

financially much easier for lowincome families.

Fun Factor

Some kids opt out of sports not because of bad behavior by the players, but by the poor behavior of parents on the sidelines. Heckling, putting undue pressure on children and getting into arguments with coaches and officials has unfortunately become a new norm at youth sporting events. The young players are the ones losing out when they feel anxious about playing. Rather, being a good sport parent is very easy. Only saying positive things on the sidelines or remaining silent is key. Parents should resist the urge to coach (unless they are the coaches), and let those in charge do their jobs. Parents can stop critiquing their children’s play and avoid pointing out who on the team did better or worse.

Distractions

Before the internet and social media, sports teams were the single best way to come together with friends to hang out and have a good time. Now kids don’t even have to leave their homes to engage with others. The pandemic compounded issues of

~ Puzzles ~

kids being relegated to home rather than socializing and getting exercise. Parents can turn the tides by being more stringent as they govern device usage and strictly monitor and reduce screen time. This may help children be more inclined to once again join sports teams or other clubs and activities.

Safety

No player wants to get sidelined by an injury that requires them to sit out a game or the entire season. Making safety a priority in youth sports can guard against unnecessary injuries. Johns Hopkins Medicine says about 30 million children and teens participate in youth sports in the United States, and around 3.5 million injuries occur annually. Contact sports and those that involve hitting or throwing balls typically have higher injury rates. Wearing the correct gear, taking breaks in hot weather, adhering to age limits and the rules of the game, and other safety steps can help cut down on youth sports injuries.
