Ogunquit Playhouse Introduces the New Leary Pavilion OGUNQUIT Due to the pandemic and in collaboration with state and federal CDC guidelines, management at the Ogunquit Playhouse made the decision to not host any performances inside the playhouse this year. To save this year’s season, construction began on April 9 on a 25,000 square foot, steel constructed, fully covered, open air venue on the south lawn of the playhouse campus and named the Leary Pavilion in honor of benefactors, Carol and Noel

Leary. This new site will serve as the stage and performance theater for the 2021 season. Seating inside the Leary Pavilion will be arranged to follow all current social distancing guidelines with 26 rows of

armless chairs arranged in pods of two seats, each spaced six feet apart. A pod is a commonly used COVID-era seating unit used by most sports and entertainment venues. Each pod contains two seats, which means each order

will reflect one pod for every two seats purchased. Pod prices range from $94 (a preview performance in the economy green zone) to $234 (a main-stage performance in the premiere purple zone). There is no raked elevation to the base of the pavilion, which is why is the seating is staggered for effective sight lines. Unlike inside the playhouse, there will be no one sitting directly in front of you. Additionally, the stage sits three feet above the floor. As far as climate control inside, due to CDC guidelines,

Real ID Enforcement Deadline Delayed

STATEWIDE The Department of Homeland Security announced that the Real ID enforcement deadline is now extended to May 3, 2023. The 19-month extension is in response to the pandemic and its impact on U.S. citizens’ ability to obtain a Real ID-compliant credential during the past year. The Real ID is a version of Maine driver’s license or state ID that is compliant with fed-

eral standards for identity documents. All Real ID-compliant credentials have a version of a gold star on the face of the card; in Maine, it is a gold State of Maine outline with a white star cutout in the center. The Real ID-compliant credential is optional for Mainers. However, beginning May 3, 2023, those who have only a standard Maine license or state ID will not be able to use it as identification for federal pur-

While the standard Maine credential is valid for all instate purposes, as of May 3, 2023, travelers will need a Real ID-compliant driver’s license, a Real ID-compliant state ID, or a valid U.S. passport, passport card or other federally-issued identity document to access all federally regulated airports, federal facilities, and nuclear power plants. Mainers can obtain a Real ID-compliant drivers license or state ID at any Bureau of Motor Vehicles office, found at www. maine.gov/sos/bmv/locations/ index.html, all of which are open to the public without appointment.

KENNEBUNKPORTAs Kennebunkport celebrates its bicentennial year, the town is seeking design submissions for an official town flag. A beautifully designed town flag to represent the community’s past, present, and future – something to be displayed by residents and businesses alike. Guidelines for creating a flag. The five basic principles for flag design (according to NAVA – North American Vexillogogical Association) are: Keep it simple (so simple that a child can draw it from memory); Use meaningful symbolism representing our community; Use 2-3 basic colors (red, blue, green, black, yellow, white, purple, gray, orange) that contrast well; No lettering or seals (never use writing or the town seal); Be distinctive (never duplicate other flags). Entries will be accepted by email to kportbicentennial@ gmail.com. Entries must be received by 4:30 p.m. on Monday, May 24. Do not put your name or identifying information on the

image itself. Judging will be anonymous, and the committee will assign a number to each entry. Designs must be submitted as a JPEG or PDF. A resolution of 900 x 1500 pixels works well, no files larger than 2 MB, please. Entries will not be accepted that: use gradientcolors (all parts must be solid colors), are two-sided (the same image will be seen on both sides), are designs that are plagiarized or otherwise not an original work of the artist. The final flag design will be presented to the Kennebunkport Board of Selectmen for adoption in June 2021. Entries that do not follow the above guidelines will not be considered. All entries become the property of the Town of Kennebunkport, and the author/creator/artist relinquishes all rights to the design. If you have questions or need help with formatting, email kportbicentennial@gmail.com. For more information, visit the events and festivals page at www.kennebunkportme.gov/ sites/g/files/vyhlif3306/f/pages/ flag_design_challenge.pdf.

Growing Roses in Maine STATEWIDE Over the centuries, the rose has become the most popular and treasured of all garden plants. Its beauty and versatility has earned it this honor. Today, there are over 150 known species of roses and thousands of cultivars, which vary greatly in color, shape, size and climate preference. Roses have the reputation as finicky plants that are disease prone. With advances in rose breeding, successfully growing roses today, however, has never been easier if you follow a few simple guidelines. Roses prefer six or more

hours of sunlight daily; they savor well-drained soil that is rich in organic matter, as well as a regular feeding of a rose fertilizer; they enjoy a deep soaking of water at their feet (two inches per week); they frown on being See ROSES page 6...

another perfect setting for roses. In this style of garden, roses and other ornamental and edible plants are arranged in asymmetrical groupings, rather than planted in tidy patterns. They are artfully weaved with a variety of abundant plant material that vary in height, form and texture to create a charmingly whimsical effect. In addition to roses, cottage garden style plants include herbs, peony, lavender, phlox, iris, hollyhocks and delphiniums, to name a few. Other design uses for roses include containers and cuttings. English specimen roses, such as ‘Princess Alexandra of Kent,’ a rose developed by worldrenowned British rose breeder David Austin, offers a gracefully rounded growth, which makes it an ideal candidate for growing in pots, urns and other containers. And as any gardener will tell you, there is nothing more rewarding than cutting flowers, fresh from their own garden, to create a magical bouquet of color and fragrance.

1867. Within these three groups, roses are further divided based on a variety of characteristics and attributes. There is a rose suited for just about any spot in a Maine landscape. For instance, English shrub roses are fragrant, offer repeat-flowering, and are vigorous; they are ideal for mixed borders, containers, and as specimens. Hybrid teas and floribundas offer an abundance of flowers and can be used as hedges and in mixed borders. The long canes of climbing roses make them ideal for adding interest to buildings, pergolas, fences and arbors. And rambling roses are dramatic cascading over a stone wall or planted on hillsides as a slope stabilizing method to stop soil erosion. Roses are at home in a formal or informal garden design setting. A typical formal rose garden would include symmetrically shaped beds with geometrically patterned compartments filled with groupings of roses, and outlined with a lavender or clipped boxwood hedge.

$500,000 Innovation Challenge to Spur Clean Energy STATEWIDE Governor Janet Mills announced a $500,000 grant program to spur innovation, support clean energy start-ups, and create jobs in Maine’s fast-growing clean energy sector. The “Maine Clean Energy Innovation Challenge” is a joint initiative of the Governor’s Energy Office and the Maine Technology Institute to spark innovation, develop new companies, and create jobs in the state’s burgeoning clean energy economy. The governor made the announcement on Earth Day at ReVision Energy, which is one of the leading solar energy companies in New England. “Companies like ReVision Energy, which started as a two-person shop in Liberty, Maine, are showing how the clean energy economy creates good-paying, sustaining careers across all of Maine,” said Governor Mills. “I have pledged that Maine will see 30,000 clean energy jobs in Maine by 2030, and with the Maine Clean Energy Innovation Challenge,

we are stepping up our support for clean energy entrepreneurs to help them create these jobs and fight climate change at the same time.” With Maine adopting some of the nation’s most ambitious clean energy and climate goals, recent studies report that Maine is now well-positioned to create a thriving clean energy economy by increasing support of innovation, startups and entrepreneurs. Maine’s investment in research and development, a key driver of economic growth, has ranked among the lowest in the nation. Maine also has among the fewest clean energy jobs per capita in New England, behind Massachusetts, Vermont and Rhode Island, where clean energy jobs are among the highest per capita in the country. The Maine Clean Energy Innovation Challenge is a first step of increasing that support, by making funds available to existing clean energy startups to advance clean energy or climate technology, and aid Maine’s progress toward achieving its bold targets.

The World and AI Versus Me By Jim Fabiano There it stood in all its glory. A stainless steel monolith with a giant square eye advertising what one should do or not do in order to escape a large warehouse filled with giant items one may not have to ever purchase again. It was an especially busy day with long lines of people waiting in order to have a real person check them out so they could leave. Observing the long lines and not wanting to lose more time of our lives my wife saw an opening in the corner of the check out labyrinth. We never actually tried to use the self-checkout counter before because we never minded

waiting in line behind people who looked like they were getting ready for the Apocalypse. I remember seeing two men drag flat carts filled with toilet tissue and paper towels. They were either stocking up or were very messy people with definite abdominal issues. This could be the day we arrive at the reality of AI and join those of us who would rather push buttons then talk to a real person. We took the plunge and began our trek through a process that was supposed to make life easier and thus un-employ people who really needed the See AI page 9...

~ News ~ ...AI from page 8 job. My wife gave me her card at which time I scanned it under what looked like a laser above and below square pieces of glass. The machine lit up and welcomed us into the store. Since I didn’t want to argue with it by reminding it we were leaving the store I just attempted to follow it’s instructions. Before I even started a deep woman’s voice told me to take all items off the receiving belt that was beside the eye of the monster. I then did something rather foolish. I talked to the machine and told her, notice it is now a her, that I had nothing on the belt. A few seconds later she repeated herself that in order to purchase any products I had to vacate the belt. Looking around for some help I noticed a young man waiting in line behind me carrying a rather large bag of potato chips. He looked annoyed. The machine then lit a large rectangular red sign that was held high by a black pole. It blinked on and off requesting that someone who had a clue as to how to work the machine or fix me come to the station. We waited. No one came. I looked back at the young man who was waiting to leave the store with his bag of chips and it was obvious he was getting more exasperated. Maybe I should buy his chips and send him on his way but since I already injected the card into the machine and was told to empty what I didn’t put on the belt I found that possibility not to be credible. A woman then arrived at what was now a bottleneck of customers wondering who the idiot was that couldn’t use the self-service machine. She asked, “What seems to be the problem”. In my mind I answered, “The machine won’t let me pay for my stuff.” In reality I stated that I appreciated her help because the machine is telling me to remove items before I scanned anything and placed any merchandise on the belt. She then asked where the items were that I placed on the belt. I told her I didn’t know because I didn’t place anything on the belt. She then gave me a cold kind of scary stare and looked back at the long line of people waiting to be efficiently checked out and then telepathically communicated to them that I was the cause of them missing out on too many minutes of their lives. She then pulled out her super card, scanned it at which time the machine went into a mode I assumed would exorcise anything I entered into it. With eyes half closed she quietly told me that I should start to scan my items. Watching her leave I noticed that the customer behind me with the large bag of chips had already eaten half of them.

Discovering that this new AI was more of a challenge then a convenience I started to scan my first item. The voice again chided me that I should remove all items from the belt. I asked my wife if we really needed the ten-pound box of peanuts and she agreed that we should surrender and roll our cart away from where we were and go home. But, before we left I asked the man with the chips if I could have one. Jim Fabiano is a retired teacher and writer living in York. You can email him at james.fabiano60@gmail.com.

...LEARY from page 1 and snacks? Yes, there will be multiple concession stands to serve the various sections of the Leary Pavilion. However, due to COVID-19 restrictions, there will be no backstage tours this season. Main-stage shows in the Leary Pavilion will be Tuesdays at 8 p.m., Wednesdays at 2:30 and 8 p.m., Thursdays at 2:30 and 8 p.m., Fridays at 8 p.m., Saturdays at 2:30 and 8 p.m., and Sundays at 2:30 p.m. Some variations will occur on days when youth programming and the patio cabaret series have performances. In the interest of health and safety, there is no walk-up ticket purchasing this season. Tickets can be purchased online 24/7 or by phone by calling 207-6465511 Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Pod pricing for two seats starts at $124 in economy (green), $174 in standard (yellow), $184 in preferred (blue), $194 in premium (red). As performances begin to sell out, dynamic pricing will adjust these prices upwards, so it pays to purchase tickets in ad-

vance. The new ticketing system does not allow for single ticket purchases this season but pods can be bought for large groups. For groups of 10 pods (20 seats) or more, call the group sales line at 207-646-2402 x 262. Groups of 9 pods (18 seats) or less can be purchased through the box office at the regular rate. Gift certificates are still good and never expire and can be applied both online and over the phone. Simply provide the code number on the certificate when asked for it. Please note that because of this year’s seating configuration, the playhouse will not be selling new subscriptions this year. Lastly, all attendees, staff and artists will be required to adhere to current CDC guidelines for social distancing and guests will need to wear masks at all times except when eating or drinking. Masks will be provided to those who arrive without one. To see a diagram and virtual layout of the new Leary Pavilion, go to www.ogunquitplayhouse.org/2021-faq.

of only 120 teachers selected for a National History Day® (NHD) spring professional development program. Two Noble Middle School students, Ahlivia Taylor, and Nicholas Theriault, were student ambassadors asking Jason student generated questions. “The teachers and students were elated about the visit...As I am sure you know, Jason is the National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature, and has written some of our favorite books like ‘Ghost’, ‘Patina’, ‘Sunny’, and ‘Lu’. This was truly a once in a lifetime event for many of our kids - and staff!” said Ms. Galeucia, Literacy Coach at Noble Middle School. Jason explained he struggled in school. People telling him he was “almost good or almost great” may have motivated him, but Jason added what people think (of you) is none of your business, and you don’t have to prove people wrong, you only have to prove to yourself. After reviewing the Create a Fictional Tattoo video from

“Write. Right. Rite.” students and teachers asked Jason Reynolds through the Q&A to discuss tattoos. Jason showed a tattoo on his fingers of the letters: STET. He explained in Latin it translates to “Let it Stand.” Jason continued, “I am who I am” and encouraged students to be authentic and true to themselves. “The greatest gift you give yourself is yourself,” said Jason Reynolds.

Scott is a naturalist at heart and a biologist by training. Since childhood, he’s had a strong drive to create visual art inspired by the flora and fauna around him. His work has been featured in the publications of numerous wildlife-focused non-profits and he has enjoyed exposure in galleries close to home. In 2017, he created an Illustrated Alphabet that was published in book form with the title, “Falconry, A to Z.” The first edition sold out in short order. A second edition is in the making. Scott is also a local business owner, running The Scoop Deck, a seasonal ice cream shop in Wells, entering its 39th year of business.

WELLS Anyone who has visited the coast of Maine knows the charm that lies in the small towns that dot the rocky coastline. In Scott McNeff’s new book, “Wells, Maine - The Art of Scott McNeff”, the Wells native pays homage to his seaside hometown and his pride as a Mainer in a variety of mediums including pencil, ink, watercolor, gouache, oil and acrylic paints. Over the course of three years, Scott painted and drew over 230 works included in this 224-page coffee table book with subjects ranging from local institutions such as Fisherman’s Catch and Congdon’s Donuts to the flora and fauna and marine life that inhabit the area. Locals and seasonal tourists alike are sure to find their favorite spots included in the pages. Alongside the visual representations of the town are small facts and personal anecdotes about some of the buildings and locations. This project has deepened Scott’s love for Wells: “The process of creating this book simultaneously allowed me to continue my growth as an artist and renew my love of home; I found myself looking all over town with eyes wide open, seeing it again with a freshly cleaned lens”

include: “The View from Narrow Cove” - OMAA reimagines the Barn Gallery Associates Wing with a rotation of selections from the permanent collection as well as recent acquisitions from the estate of OMAA Board President Emeritus Michael Kenslea. Exploring the roots of Ogunquit’s heritage as a premier art colony from the late 19th century, the view from Narrow Cove attracted American moderns Robert Henri, Yasuo Kuniyoshi, Marsden Hartley, Walt Kuhn, John Marin and many more. “Celeste Roberge: Chaise Gabion and Chair for Mining” - Celeste Roberge’s waterjet-cut, stainless steel chaise juxtaposes historical reference, design and materiality. Chaise Gabion is both a modernist sculpture and a piece of furniture. Conventionally, a gabion is a wirework container filled with rock and used in the constriction of dams. Sited in the sculpture park, Chaise Gabion is filled with 1,350 pounds of rock from the beachfront at Narrow Cove. Made of brushed stainless steel, Chair for Mining (Chromium) is a commonplace object with a complex story. Simultaneously productive and destructive, the act of See OMAA page 15...

...OMAA from page 14 mining involves the extraction of valuable minerals from the earth as it simultaneously leaves behind harmful residues and unpredictable outcomes. Sited on a ledge overlooking the water’s edge at Narrow Cove, Chair for Mining presents a unique opportunity to ponder the geological and global histories associated with the view. “Light Southerly: Henry Strater in Verde Valley” - In the wake of the economic collapse that triggered the Great Depression, and following his first oneman exhibition at Montross Gallery in New York City, artist and OMAA founder Henry Strater explored 2,000 miles of Southwestern territory before settling in the copper-mining, cattle-raising community of Rimrock, Verde Valley, AZ. Avoiding the popular Southwest art colonies of Santa Fe and Taos, Strater’s Arizona landscapes position him in the context of American moderns who preceded and overlapped his residency. The

installation includes sketchbooks, paintings, and archival materials that interpret Strater’s Southwest. “Charles Woodbury: Open Studio” - Held over through 2021, this “living history” installation reimagines Woodbury’s workspace as it appeared between the 1890s through the end of his life. As founder of the Ogunquit Summer School of Drawing and Painting, Charles Woodbury is credited with formalizing Ogunquit’s reputation as a premier art colony. Recreated within the framework of the Barn Gallery Associates Wing, the installation includes examples of work by Woodbury’s most prolific students, in addition to artifacts, furnishings, paintings, drawings, prints, photographs and memorabilia from Woodbury’s original studio. These presentations run May 1 through October 31. For more information, go to www. ogunquitmuseum.org or call 207-646-4909.

Autoworks Completes Largest Private Solar Array in Southern York County KITTERY Thanks to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s REAP Grant (Rural Energy for America Program) Stephen Kosacz, Founder and President of Autoworks in Kittery, was able to complete the installation of a 66 panel 24 kilowatt solar array on the roof of the company’s 5,000 square foot nine bay auto service facility In May of 2019, the USDA Bangor office announced the award of a REAP Grant to Autoworks for their proposed rooftop 24 Kilowatt solar project. The REAP Grant program, authorized by the USDA’s Agricultural Act of 2014, offers funding to complete energy audits, provide renewable energy development assistance, make energy efficiency improvements and install renewable energy systems. They have programs that help convert older heating sources to cleaner technologies, produce advanced biofuels, install solar panels, build biorefineries, and much more. USDA Rural Development is at the forefront of renewable energy financing,

with options including grants, guaranteed loans and payments. . Kosacz, who has served for decades on the Towns of York and Kittery Energy Committees learned of the USDA REAP Grant when he met Kittery Land Trust’s Jerry Robock. Robock, formerly of Northeast Smart Energy who executed many large solar installations in New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Vermont, provided invaluable guidance and resources for the project. The array will generate 98.7 % of Autoworks electrical power and through Governor Janet Mills’ recently reinstated Net Metering legislation, Autoworks will benefit year round from its 100% renewably generated solar power. While there are a number of larger municipal solar arrays in York and Rockingham, NH, counties, Autoworks is presently the largest private solar installation.

Trolley Museum Recognizes Volunteers

KENNEBUNKPORT Seashore Trolley Museum hosted a virtual Volunteer & Donor Appreciation evening in December to thank the 500+ donors and volunteers who supported the museum through a challenging year. The museum was able to remain open for roughly 60% of their usual operating season days due to hardworking volunteers who continued to operate trolleys throughout spring, summer, and fall 2020. Two special recognitions were awarded to two very deserving local volunteers.

The first award, the George Sanborn Silent Leader Award, is given annually to a long-time volunteer who works tirelessly behind-the-scenes and contributes more time than any other member would realize, no matter what it takes. Past winners are CC Clapp of Kennebunkport (2018) and Fred Hessler of Londonderry, NH (2019). The 2020 George Sanborn Silent Leader Award recipient was Phil Morse (right photo). Morse has been a volunteer for decades. He filled many roles on campus in 2020; in addition to

ebrate this year’s winners,” said Liza Hausman, vice president of Industry Marketing for Houzz. “The pandemic has highlighted the critical need for people to feel comfortable before inviting pros into and around their homes, and the Best of Houzz badge is a powerful way for pros to communicate the trust that homeowners have in their business.” To view the award-winning design work of Thomas Lynch Design, go to www. houzz.com/pro/thomaslynch design/__public as well as www. thomaslynchdesign.com.

Ogunquit's Interim Town Manager Named OGUNQUIT With the pending retirement of Town Manager Patricia Finnigan, the Select Board met to begin discussing whether or not to move forward with the process for hiring an interim town manager. This move would allow time for the Town Manager Search Committee and the Select Board to prepare for and conduct a thorough hiring and vetting process for a new permanent town manager. Additionally, an interim town manager can ensure dayto-day operations continue to run effectively and will be able to support the many critical projects that are underway or set to begin this summer. An interim can also assist the Select Board

continuing to serve as the Narcissus Restoration Project Sponsor, a heritage trolley restoration project, this season Phil spent hundreds of hours painting the visitors center. He led docent-guided tours back in May and June as a way for the museum to remain open with pandemic restrictions at that time. Morse also helped re-imagine what would end up being the museum’s largest fundraiser this season, Pumpkin Patch Trolley, by donating decorations and his time to create fall-themed photo experiences across the campus. He also invested hundreds of hours into creating lesson plans and other educator resources to accompany the young adult book he published on behalf of the museum in 2019, Teddy Roosevelt, Millie, and the Elegant Ride. Resources for grades 3-8 are now available online at www.

with on-boarding a permanent town manager when the time comes. After meeting last week, with the consent of the Select Board, the process began for potentially hiring an interim town manager. Finnigan’s official last day as town manager will be May 15. During the remainder of May, she will still be employed by the town and will be help support the interim town manager with critical transition activities. With that, the Select Board took up official action to unanimously appoint Matt Buttrick as interim town manager. The plan is for Buttrick to officially assume town manager responsibilities on May 15. He has

worked in the police department for almost 20 years and has a wealth of knowledge about the community and is well respected by those who work with him. In addition, Buttrick intends to work in partnership with the Select Board, as one unified team. He understands the unique needs of the community and what is needed to help bring people together. The Select Board looks forward to partnering with Buttrick in the coming months and to support the town’s continued success. As always, the Select Board welcomes public comment and questions during their regular meetings, or contact them at selectboard@townofogunquit.org.

use analyses and recommend energy-efficiency improvements to these operations. The initiative is made possible by a grant through the US Department of Agriculture (USDA). The grant was announced on Earth Day, April 22, 2021, by Deputy Under Secretary for Rural Development Justin Maxson. It is part of a nationwide investment of $487 million in critical infrastructure that will help communities in 45 states prioritize climate-smart solutions and environmental stewardship. SMPDC will work with the client and the local commercial energy audit firm to prepare an Energy Audit Report which will recommend Energy Efficiency Measures to maximize long term savings, minimize energy consumption, recommend resources for financing, and estimate return on investment. According to USDA’s Justin Maxson, “When we invest in accessible and modern infrastructure in rural communities, we invest in rebuilding the middle class by creating good-paying jobs. The investments we are announcing today demonstrate how the Biden-Harris Administration has put rural communities at the heart of climate action and climate-smart solutions.” In the state of Maine, USDA made grants of over $6 million for Rural Water and Renewable Energy Infrastructure. USDA Rural Development Acting State Director Tommy R. Higgins said, “Today’s Earth Day announcement of over six million dollars invested in rural Maine communities underscores USDA

It provides a clear breakdown of how, where, and when electricity is used in the building, as well as the current electric costs and how they apply to the facility and its uses. It can also be tailored to specific energy concerns in the facility. It considers all aspects of a building’s energy use, including Space Heating and Cooling, Lighting systems, Other power systems (such as exhaust fans or hot water heating), Plug/industrial/process loads and Building envelope (the exterior of the building, and its resistance to air, water, heat, etc.) If interested in receiving a subsidized energy audit for your commercial or agricultural facility, contact Karina Graeter, Sustainability Coordinator, at kgraeter@smpdc.org or 207571-7065.

YEF Gift School Staff Members YORK The York Education Foundation (YEF) is an independent, non-profit organization of community volunteers committed to excellence in education. Founded in 2005, YEF has introduced more than $250,000 into the York school system, mostly through its funding of 99 grants to educators and staff members as a way to encourage innovation in curriculum. At the start of the new school year this fall, YEF’s Board of Directors decided to focus on expressing support and appreciation for educators, rather than raising funds for grant distribution. This “Appreciation Initiative” includes purchasing of gift cards from many of the businesses that have supported YEF’s mission in the past and awarding

these gift cards through a weekly raffle to a staff member at each of the four schools in York. Every winner also receives a face mask with the YEF logo. Through this initiative, YEF is supporting the local businesses that have helped YEF in the past to meet its mission. It is also a great way to express appreciation for the efforts of the educators and staff members to provide York’s kids with the best possible educational opportunities during these very challenging times. YEF recently issued its tenth round of gift cards and masks to randomly selected staff members at each of York’s four schools. To date YEF’s “Appreciation Initiative” has gifted $1,300 worth of gift cards to 40 different members of the York School Department.

In the past, virtually all the funds granted to educators and staff members have been raised through events which include auctions, with auction items donated by local businesses. YEF simply would not exist without the support of these businesses that have been so generous with their goods and services. The YEF Board is excited about supporting them in this small way during these challenging times. Individuals who wish to express their appreciation and support our “Appreciation Initiative” are invited to make donations for the purchase of gift cards, or to purchase YEF masks. Checks can be mailed to YEF at P.O. Box 205, York, ME 03909, via PayPal by visiting www.yorkeducationfoundation.org or by contacting Heidi Wefers, YEF President, at h.wefers@yahoo.com.

Marginal Way Preservation Fund Elects New Officers OGUNQUIT The Marginal Way Preservation Fund, one of Maine’s premiere non-profit organizations, is dedicated to preserving the Marginal Way in Ogunquit by managing and administering funds for projects related to the beautification, improvement, and maintenance of this unique, scenic coastal walkway. The Marginal Way Preservation Fund seeks to actively build a multi-million dollar endowment for the Marginal Way’s longterm conservation and preservation. The endowment will help respond to the ever present risk of destruction along the coastal path and fund remediation projects that are required when unpredictable storm damage and natural erosion occur. “The Preservation Fund’s goal is to guarantee that the beloved Marginal Way remains safe and accessible for all to enjoy for years to come,” says Executive Director, Allison Ramsey. As the Marginal Way Preservation Fund enters into its 10th anniversary as a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, the Board announced the election of new officers for this year and five new members to the Preservation Fund Board; all bringing uniquely accomplished backgrounds that will advance the growth of the Fund’s success.

Health & Fitness Resources to Help Seniors Living with Impaired Senses KENNEBUNK Eighty-three percent of older adults live with at least one form of sensory loss, according to a survey by Home Instead, Inc. While those with sensory loss have always faced an increased risk of feeling isolated, the pandemic has further reduced their ability to fully connect with the world around them, leading to a diminished quality of life. “Over the last year, we have grown increasingly more aware of the negative effects of social isolation,” said Lakelyn Hogan, Ph.D., gerontologist, and caregiver advocate at Home Instead, Inc. “Older adults living with limited or diminished senses are faced with the added stress and difficulties brought on by prolonged isolation from their loved ones. And it’s especially important to consider their needs, as they may have an especially difficult time staying connected.” Now more than ever, it is important for family members, caregivers and the community as a whole to be mindful of the signs of sensory loss and take proactive steps to ensure these individuals feel embraced and engaged. Each of the five senses plays a role in keeping us connected to the world around us. When they are weakened, it can become difficult and frightening to navigate an environment that is not designed to accommodate impaired vision, hearing, mobility and more. “Some older adults have been able to use video chats and phone calls to stay in touch with family during the pandemic,” said Howard Schultz, owner of the Kennebunk Home Instead®. “In fact, according to a recent study done by Home Instead, Inc., one in four (28%) feel more comfortable using new technology than they did one year ago. But that technology may not work for seniors with failing

eyesight or hearing. For them, isolation remains a threat.” All of us can play a role in ensuring the aging population feels supported and connected during these times. Schultz offers these tips to help connect: Contact older loved ones or neighbors regularly and create meaningful interactions to ensure they feel valued; During phone calls, be sure to speak up and enunciate your words clearly; When possible, visit in-person from a socially safe distance; Consider using a clear mask to help those with hearing loss read your lips. One simple way to make those with sensory loss feel included is to practice empathy. By putting ourselves in their shoes, we can help create a more inclusive and aging-friendly world for our loved ones, neighbors and others in the community. “We can find opportunities

to lead with empathy in everyday situations,” explains Hogan. “For example, if you’re in line at the grocery store and an older adult in front of you is having a hard time grabbing their credit card from their wallet, instead of getting frustrated, take a deep breath and remember that they may not have the same sensitivity in their fingers as you do.” To help others better understand the unique challenges of living with sensory loss, Home

Instead in Maine is offering free “Aging SensesSM” resources designed to help families and the community start a larger conversation around the impacts of sensory loss. Tools include an online sensory loss simulation and instructions on how to create a doit-yourself Aging Senses Kit. To get familiar with the signs and symptoms, Home Instead offers simple DIY activities to simulate sensory loss – things like walking with corn kernels in your socks to experience the feeling of walking with neuropathy or putting masking tape on your glasses

to better understand vision with glaucoma. For more information, including an interactive experience so you may see firsthand the challenges of sensory loss, visit www.agingsenses.com. The Home Instead® franchise network provides in-home care services for older adults, which span the care continuum – from providing personal care to specialized Alzheimer’s care and hospice support.

Report Chronicles “Lifejackets for Lobstermen” STATEWIDE Fishermen throughout the Northeast continue to share testimony about the impact the Lifejackets for Lobstermen Project has had on their choices to wear lifejackets or other personal flotation devices (PFDs) while on the job. As Captain John Brigante of Bucks Harbor describes, “I put the PFD on before getting into the skiff and keep it on until back on land. Accidents can happen anytime and anywhere.” Captain Brent Crowley of Jonesport aptly said

of his new PFDs, “It can save my life or my sternman’s.” From 2000-2016, the Centers for Disease Control charted 204 commercial fishing fatalities from falls overboard. None of the fishermen recovered were wearing a lifejacket, and 108 of the fishermen’s bodies were never found. The Lifejacket Project was launched to identify solutions and increase fishermen’s interest in wearing lifejackets. In its recently published, 20-page summary report, the Northeast Center for Occu-

Preventing Medicare Physician Payment Cuts Signed to Law WASHINGTON, D.C. U.S. Senator Susan Collins announced that the year-end government funding bill that was signed into law includes a provision based on bipartisan legislation she co-authored to prevent the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ (CMS) planned physician payment cuts scheduled to begin January 1, 2021. “These reimbursement cuts would have fallen primarily on the backs of health care providers across non-primary care specialties – from radiology to physical therapy to orthopaedic surgery-and could have had a devastating effect on health care practices and, most important, patient access to care,” said

Senator Collins. “I am pleased that this provision included in the government funding bill will halt these ill-timed payment cuts from going into effect at the start of the New Year, helping to ensure that we do not further burden our health care system that is already struggling due to the pandemic.” Senator Collins has long been a champion of improving access to health care, particularly in rural and underserved areas. In addition to sponsoring legislation to avert destabilizing cuts to medical providers that would have harmed patients’ access to health care, Senator Collins sent a letter to Senate leaders in October, urging them to advance legislation to prevent these sharp reductions in payment.

pational Health and Safety in Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing chronicles stories from the Lifejackets for Lobstermen Project and provides examples of the fishing community’s interest and engagement with the project. The report chronicles stories of close-calls and personal loss shared by fishermen and families. In one, Deborah Damon describes losing several family members at sea, “I have two sons and two of my brothers who lobster here in Maine… I lost my grandfather, my brother, fiancé, and my husband all to the sea. So it would mean a lot if I could get these [lifejackets].”

During the project, fishermen worked with the Northeast Center to identify good designs and eliminate challenges to use. Project coordinators also reached out to manufacturers, retailers, safety trainers and other researchers, as well as the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, the Royal National Lifeboat Institute, and the Old4New campaign in New Zealand, to create the “Lifejacket for Lobstermen” vans. The vans went along the coast to bring fishermen-selected devices dockside at a discounted rate, so fishermen could try them on, compare them side by side, and try out new lifejackets and PFDs. As Stefanie Alley described,

“I couldn’t find an inflatable lifejacket at the store — too hard to choose one. The van offered an opportunity to look at the different styles, and get questions answered.” During the vans’ 157 days dockside, fishermen bought 1087 lifejackets and PFDs. The NEC now plans to transition the project to Fishing Partnership Support Services (FPSS) who collaborated on the project. FPSS is integrating the lifejacket van into their safety trainings and expanding to all fisheries and ages.

Tufts & Harvard Pilgrim Ofﬁcially Come Together NEW ENGLAND Harvard Pilgrim Health Care and Tufts Health Plan announced their organizations have formally combined, effective January 1, having received all regulatory approvals. Over time, more than $100 million in savings is anticipated through administrative synergies which will go directly to mitigating premium increases and member out-of-pocket burden. With behavioral health an integral part of overall health, prioritizing the integration of medical and behavioral health management is a top priority for the new organization. The new organization is also developing its long-term strategy

and investment plans related to health equity, behavioral health, complex care management and telehealth. With the pandemic having a devastating impact on communities, an initial investment of $1 million will be made to support education, awareness and outreach related to the vaccine, especially in Black and Brown communities, where the virus has had a disproportionate impact. This investment is in addition to the over $10 million already committed by both organizations, as well as the Tufts Health Plan Foundation and The Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Foundation. The combined organization, its foundations and the Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Institute will collaborate on this pandemic response. Philanthropy and corporate citizenship will remain a cornerstone of the newly combined organization. In 2020 alone, the Tufts Health Plan and Harvard Pilgrim Foundations committed

more than $17 million to support pandemic relief, advance racial justice and through regular giving programs. While Tufts Health Plan and Harvard Pilgrim Health Care are officially one organization, both heritage brands and products will remain in the market for a period of time, and the benefits, programs and services its members rely on will not change in 2021. The new organization’s headquarters will be located in Canton, MA. ...BUDGET from page 19 “This supplemental will offer lawmakers of all parties the opportunity to build on and adjust the biennial budget based on the most up-to-date information and to make wise and prudent decisions on accelerating our state’s recovery from the pandemic. This will be important work – work that should be bipartisan and productive.”

Health & Fitness CDC Estimates 476K are Diagnosed with Lyme Disease Each Year WASHINGTON, D.C. In response to a push by U.S. Senators Susan Collins (R-ME) and Tina Smith (DMN), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) published new data on Lyme disease, which reveals that an estimated 476,000 people are diagnosed with and treated for Lyme disease each year in the United States. The new calculation is roughly 10 times higher than the number of reported Lyme disease cases, which was nearly 48,000 in 2018. Additionally, as requested by the Senators, the CDC has published a new dashboard to help researchers collect real-time data. This information on emergency department visits for tick bites by time, region, age, and sex will be updated weekly instead of annually and can better indicate when people in different parts of the country may be at the highest risk for tick bites. Senators Collins and Smith, the authors of the bipartisan Kay Hagan Tick Act that was enacted in December 2019—sent a letter to the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) last January calling for the release of this data as part of the implementation of their law. The Kay Hagan Tick Act will help to improve research, prevention, diagnostics, and treatment for tick-borne diseases. “This new data showing that Lyme disease remains vastly under-reported by a factor of 10 underscores the fact that tick-borne illnesses are a serious and growing public health threat,” said Senator Collins. “As the authors of the Kay Hagan Tick Act that created a national strategy to fight tick-borne diseases, Senator Smith and I pushed for the release of this powerful tool to assist researchers working to track and eradicate Lyme disease. Now that we have a clearer picture of the challenge that we are up against, we are better positioned to protect Americans’ health.” The incidence of Lyme and other tick-borne diseases has increased significantly since the CDC reporting began in 1991. According to the CDC, Lyme disease is the most common tick-borne disease and the most common

vector-borne disease. Maine alone reported more than 1,400 confirmed cases in 2018, the highest incidence of Lyme disease in the nation. Minnesota is also vulnerable with 950 confirmed cases of Lyme diseases in 2018.

U.S. Senator Susan Collins (R-ME), a Co-Chair of the Congressional Fire Services Caucus, economic and societal costs remains unknown. Studies so far indicate that Lyme disease alone costs approximately $1.3 billion each year in direct medical costs, and overall costs, including indirect costs, average $75 billion.

$1.4M to Combat Opioid Crisis WASHINGTON, D.C. U.S. Senators Susan Collins and Angus King announced that Maine has received a total of $1,461,282 to help combat the opioid crisis. This continued investment enables care delivery partners across Maine, including hospitals and community health centers, to establish and expand access to integrated substance use disorder and mental health services for pregnant and postpartum women. The funding was awarded through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to the Maine Department of Health and Human Services’ (MDHHS) Maternal Opioid Misuse ModelMaine Maternal Opioid Model (MaineMOM). “The opioid crisis is devastating families and communities across our state, claiming the life of more than one Mainer per day

on average,” said Senators Collins and King in a joint statement. “This important funding will provide mothers throughout our state who are struggling with substance use disorders with access to the treatment programs they need to achieve recovery and healing.” The MaineMOM initiative aims to improve care for pregnant and postpartum women with Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) and their infants by integrating maternal and substance use treatment services. The program supports the treatment and recovery of mothers and infants with group-based medication-assisted treatment, coordinating delivery, hospital, and post-partum care, and conducting public outreach campaigns across the state. Maine is only one of ten states participating in the program.

and Senator Ben Cardin (DMD), a member of the Senate Finance Committee, announced that several provisions of the Volunteer Responder Incentive Protection Act (VRIPA) they authored were included in the government funding bill that passed Congress and has been signed into law. “Across our nation, volunteer firefighters play a critical role in helping to ensure the safety of our communities, especially as firefighters continue to work with those on the frontlines to combat the pandemic. Maine is largely a rural state, and more than 90 percent of firefighters are volunteers. Without these public-spirited citizens, many smaller communities would be unable to provide firefighting and other emergency services at all,” said Senator Collins. “These bipartisan provisions Senator Cardin

and I authored will protect cost-effective incentives that support the brave men and women who volunteer to protect their communities.” In order to bolster recruitment and retention, many fire and EMS agencies now provide benefits, including non-monetary gifts, reductions in property taxes, per-call payments, stipends, or retirement benefits. The provisions authored by Senators Collins and Cardin will allow communities to provide volunteer firefighters and EMS workers with up to $600 per year of property tax reductions or other incentives, without those benefits being subject to federal income tax and withholding. This will help ease the administrative burden that local departments sometimes face when they reward their volunteers with minor benefits.

Dear Computer Lady, How do I know what my computer is named? When I log into my Microsoft account, I see several computers listed, but I am only using two computers, a desktop and a laptop. I can remove the computers I don’t use any more, but I can’t tell from the names which ones are old and which are new. Can you help? Thanks, Ron Dear Ron, You can easily find the name of your Windows computer with the following steps: 1. Right-click on the start button and click on “System” in the context menu that appears. 2. In the middle section, you will see “Computer Name” followed by the name of your computer. You can even give your computer a more descriptive name by clicking on the, “Change Settings” link in that section. Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, I am in need of getting photos off my camera’s card. I have previously used Picasa with success but since I got a new computer I am not able to do this. I want to print pictures so that I can make a collage. Any suggestions of a program that is easy for someone who is not good with computers? I faithfully read your newsletter every time I get it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Juanita Dear Juanita,

~ Ask The Computer Lady & News ~ Windows 10 includes a built in function for importing photos from your camera or phone. Just follow these directions: 1. Insert your camera card, or usb cable. If using the camera connected by a cable, make sure the camera is turned on. 2. Once your device is connected, open File Explorer and click on “This PC” in the left column. You should see your camera or camera card listed under “Devices and Drives”. 3. Right-click on your camera or card, then click on “Import pictures and videos” in the context menu that appears. 4. The “Import pictures and videos” wizard will begin. Follow the prompts to select your pictures, then click the “Import” button to begin the process of importing. When your pictures have been imported, you will be able to see them on your computer using File Explorer. You can then view and print them using File Explorer or another photos app. I like to use the free program, Irfanview to make changes to my photos, but it is not the best for printing. You might want to go to www. ninite.com and look at the available imaging apps there. Print.net has some good printing options.

Allan Dear Allan, This is just a standard message you will see when trying to run a program that makes changes to your system. And, uninstalling a program is making some pretty big changes. So, even though it sounds intimidating, it is safe to select, “Yes” when you are uninstalling a program and the dialog box appears asking if you want to allow the app to make chang-

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.

Williams Realty Partners Welcome Three New Agents YORK It is with great excitement that Williams Realty Partners (WRP) announces three new Realtors have joined the team; Anne Pope, Halley Smith, and Tanya Campbell. “As WRP continues to expand, we are happy to bring three new agents onto the team who epitomize WRP’s core values of excellent service, loving the community that we live and work in and giving back,” states Troy Williams, owner of WRP. “Anne, Halley and Tanya all bring different knowledge, interests and backgrounds to the table and this strengthens the team and oppor-

tunities for our clients.” Anne Pope has been active in the Maine and New Hampshire real estate communities for the last 16 years. During this period she raised two children in Greenland, NH, and was involved in supporting school athletics and coaching. A York native, Halley Smith and her husband reside in town with their young children where they love to spend as much time outdoors as possible! Together, with their business partners, they own Black Birch in the Kittery Foreside and later Chapel+Main in Dover, NH. “Joining the WRP family was a natural transition into the

Altrusa of the Seacoast Supports Children’s Advocacy Center YORK COUNTY In October 2020 Altrusa of the Seacoast learned York County law enforcement was having their “Annual Beards for Bucks” campaign to benefit the Children’s Advocacy Center of York County Maine” (CACYC). A number of these agencies in York County spent the month growing out their facial hair and/or sporting blue nail polish to raise money and awareness for the work of the CACYC. Members learned CACYC is a part of the Sexual Assault Response Services of Southern Maine which is under the National Children’s Alliance 2016. They support children and their

families across the county after an allegation or concern of sexual abuse with the goals to reduce the re-traumatization of children, increase access to services, and hold more offenders accountable. CACYC works with child protection, prosecution, mental health, medical, and victim advocacy professionals work together to investigate the abuse, and help children heal. There is a child-friendly facility where children who have disclosed sexual abuse wait while their caregivers are interviewed. Children are then interviewed by the team of multidisciplinary trained professionals, and the whole family is supported by a

O’Connor to Serve on Environment & Natural Resources Committee AUGUSTA State Representative Beth A. O’Connor (R-Berwick) has been appointed to the 130th Maine Legislature’s Joint Standing Committee on Environment and Natural Resources. The committee is among the most important legislative assignments, because it has oversight that includes natural resource protection and environmental policy, including the Maine Department of Environmental Protection. “Maine’s environment and natural resource economy, combined with our hard-working citizens, can be a major draw for young people to live, work, and raise families here in

Maine,” said Rep. O’Connor. “This will only happen if we balance those assets with projob, sensible economic policies that attract investment. I am looking to supporting policies that protect and enhance our natural assets, while creating more jobs and economic activity in rural areas.” COVID-19 is impacting the way members of the 13person committees conduct their public business. Hearings and work sessions are being conducted virtually by zoom for the foreseeable future. Rep. O’Connor continued “The Legislature needs to do what essential workers are already doing, get back to work in person as

next phase of my career with a business model that aligns with my core values,” Smith states. A New Hampshire native, Tanya Campbell, and her husband have lived in Wells for the past 14 years, where they are raising their twin daughters. Campbell comments, “I’m truly excited to be a part of Williams Realty Partners. As a realtor, I wanted to be part of something more than just the average, one-and-done type of real estate experience.” For more information, call Nicole Waldron at 207-332-9998 or email nicole@williamsrealtypartners.com. family advocate.

Judy DesMeules of the Wells branch, Mark Ross of the Kennebunk branches, and Carlos Maldonado of the Portsmouth and Hampton, NH, branches have been promoted to retail experience managers for the seacoast, southwest, and southern districts respectively. In their new roles, Judy, Mark and Carlos will continue to manage their existing branch offices, but will also serve as team leaders overseeing the other branch managers in their assigned districts. “Judy, Mark and Carlos have distinguished themselves through their strong leadership and their commitment to excellent customer experiences,” says

Al Giobbie, VP Senior Retail Experience Manager. “All three have demonstrated an innate ability to provide creative, thoughtful solutions to customer needs and have developed that mindset in their teams.” In January, the bank announced a wave of promotions aimed at promoting a new generation of leadership. 2021 is Kennebunk Savings’ 150th year of operation, and a yearlong celebration centers on the theme of “Celebrating our past, driving our future.” “Judy, Mark and Carlos are being moved into these new roles precisely because they’re the kind of people we need driving our future,” said Bradford C.

Sen. Rafferty Appointed to Maine Climate Council Working Group AUGUSTA Sen. Joe Rafferty, D-Kennebunk, has been appointed to the Maine Climate Council’s Buildings, Infrastructure, and Housing Working Group by Senate President Troy Jackson, D-Allagash. “Climate change threatens so much of what we hold dear here in Maine,” said Sen. Rafferty. “Protecting our state’s natural beauty and economy depends on the actions we take now. The Climate Council is tasked with such an important job, and I am honored and excited to do my part. I also look forward to my role on the Buildings, Infrastructure, and Housing Working Group.” The Maine Climate Council is a group of scientists, industry leaders, policymakers and residents tasked with creating a four-year plan to reduce emis-

sions in Maine and to achieve state carbon neutrality by 2045. The Council’s plan, Maine Won’t Wait, was delivered to the Governor and the Legislature in December 2020. The Council will continue to meet quarterly to monitor progress. The Buildings, Infrastructure, and Housing Working Group will evaluate and recommend short- and long-term strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from Maine’s buildings, infrastructure, and housing sectors. The subcommittee will also evaluate and recommend short- and long-term strategies and actions for adaptation and resiliency to climate change in Maine. Sen. Rafferty currently chairs the Labor and Housing committee in the Legislature and has a deep passion for Maine’s great outdoors.

~ Pets ~ Safe Haven Humane Society WELLS Jasmine and Jasper are sister and brother kittens. Born outdoors, exposed to all its inherent dangers, they quickly learned lifesaving skills: being very wary, hiding, and running from any sudden motion, sounds or anything new or unexpected. They were humanely trapped and brought to Safe Haven. At first, they were very fearful and uncertain, of course. Now nine months old, little Jasmine and Jasper have come a long way, thanks to our patient, experienced volunteers who understand feral kitties. Feral kitties often hit a plateau in their socializing. The next step is best learned in a real

home. Both Jasmine and Jasper have reached the point where the quickest and most fun way for them to become fully socialized is in a loving and patient home. Yes, it may take weeks or even months for shy kitties to begin to blend into a family environment, but slow and steady is best with shy kitties. It’s always worth the wait.

You’ll cherish the moment your shy kitty lets you pet them for the first time. Or play with you. Or eat a treat from your hand. You’ll feel thrilled to have helped their development! Your shy or semi-feral kitty will bond tightly with you because they’ve learned to let go of their fear and trust you completely. Jasmine and Jasper are beautiful kitties. Jasmine is a shorthaired brown patch tabby. Her brother Jasper is a gray shorthair tiger. They are strongly bonded to one another, which will help when they’re adopted. They’ll lean on each other for comfort. Jasmine is more social and already enjoys being petted, while her brother is slowly becoming confident. Now he jumps down from his perch in

the cat tree to play with volunteers. He’s on his way! The next step in their life together should be with people who are enthusiastic about helping them bloom. These kitties will develop all the social skills needed when living in the home of patient, cat experienced person(s) who will encourage, but not rush, the process of learning trust. Please schedule a time to meet these two sweeties by calling Leonore at 207-985-3227. For details, call 207-646-1611. We also need cashiers who can work 3-5 hours a week. Our shop raises the money that pays our vet bills, so we don’t have to send out pleading fundraising letters. It’s essential for the success of our no-kill mission – meaning every kitty we rescue gets all the medical care it needs.

Seacoast Entrepreneur Opens Marijuana Testing Facility ELIOT When Guy Sylvester decided to enter the Cannabis Market in Maine, he knew he would face a few hurdles, he just didn’t realize that a global pandemic would be one of them. In 2018, Sylvester, CEO of Absolute Resource Associates (ARA), an environmental testing lab in Portsmouth, began fielding questions from colleagues and customers about ARA’s testing capabilities, specifically for cannabis. Maine voters had recently approved adult recreational use of marijuana, and as legislators worked on developing the framework and logistics of the law, it became clear that testing facilities were going to be needed to ensure product safety. The problem was, Sylvester’s environmental lab is located in NH, where marijuana remains illegal. Ever the entrepreneur, Sylvester, who has operated, built, and grown analytical laboratories all over the U.S. since the 1980’s, decided to open a second laboratory, this one just over the border in Eliot, which would specialize in cannabis testing. He began implementing

his plan in late 2019, and despite being thrown roadblocks due to the pandemic in 2020, Sylvester spent most of the past year researching the market, finding a suitable building space, obtaining permits and licenses, purchasing equipment, and hiring staff for his new business. Sylvester has named the new business CATLAB, an acronym for Cannabis Analytical Testing Laboratory. The CATLAB staff, all with strong backgrounds in chemistry, laboratory testing and compliance, has moved into the new space and began accepting medical use flower and products for testing earlier this month. According to CATLAB President Geoff Sylvester, “we will have final audits by the CDC and OMP in the coming weeks and will start accepting adult use cannabis samples for testing, hopefully by April.” OMP refers to the Maine Office of Marijuana Policy, which was created by The Mills Administration in 2019 and is responsible for the oversight of all aspects of the legalized marijuana program. Once all certifications are in place, CATLAB will be one

of only a handful of marijuana testing facilities in the state of Maine. Testing is mandated by the state to measure product potency and to verify that cannabis is clean from contaminants. “It’s really about helping the cannabis industry provide a clean, safe product for the consumer,” said CATLAB Customer Relations Officer Jane Stratton. “If these products are being consumed by the public, we want to make sure that they are safe and accurately labeled. Our clients are the growers and producers, and if they can tell their customers that their products have been tested for safety and potency by a state certified laboratory, that goes a long way in establishing consumer confidence in this growing industry.” CATLAB is accredited through a third party, Perry Johnson Laboratory Accreditation (PJLA), in accordance with the recognized International Standard: ISO/IEC 17025:2017. For more information about CATLAB visit www.catlabllc.com. For more information about the cannabis laws in Maine, visit www.maine.gov/ dafs/omp.

Woodfords Family Services Receives UWYC Investment KENNEBUNK Woodfords Family Services announced that it has been awarded a one-year grant totaling $7,500 by United Way of York County (UWYC). This investment will support the agency’s York County Children’s Programs in working with children with special needs to tolerate mask wearing and other facerelated sensitivities. UWYC creates meaningful, lasting change by connecting people and re-

sources to improve lives and create better communities. Our partnership shares a vision of a strong York County based on the foundation of trust, respect, and a willingness to collaborate. Together, we can make a difference in the way we learn, live, and work to enjoy longer and better lives. It is UWYC’s belief that working together we can do more than either organization can accomplish alone. Thanks to the continued

support of many individuals, businesses and organizations throughout York County this year, UWYC investments totally $622,588, supporting 59 programs from 39 organizations. “Considering these very challenging times, we are enormously grateful to those companies and individuals throughout York County who were about to support our fundraising efforts this past year,” said UWYC President and CEO Brian Petrovek.

Sen. Collins Meets with Maine Veterans of Foreign Wars WASHINGTON, D.C. U.S. Senator Susan Collins met with leaders of the Maine Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) via Zoom, including Maine VFW Legislative Chairman Steven SanPedro. “Throughout Maine, the VFW advocates for patriots serving in our military today, those who served in the past, and military families,” said Senator Collins. “VFW members make a tremendous differ-

ence in the community through their hard work and devotion to service. I am proud to be a part of this great organization as a life member of the VFW Auxiliary in my hometown of Caribou. It is one of my top priorities to ensure that veterans have access to the benefits and resources they have earned through their service.” Senator Collins recently introduced the Advancing Uniform Transportation Opportunities (AUTO) for Veterans Act,

bipartisan legislation that would reduce the financial burden for severely disabled veterans who require special adaptive equipment to drive a motor vehicle. Senator Collins’ bill is a national VFW legislative priority. The Department of Maine VFW, established in 1921, is a nonprofit veteran’s service organization for eligible veterans and military service members from the active, guard, and reserve forces.

Waban to Receive $5,000 Sponsorship from Partners Bank SANFORD Coming off a year of challenging times, Waban will still push forward with its annual telethon, going virtual once again for the cause. Partners Bank has stepped up to the plate to donate $5,000 to Waban in support of this year’s telethon. Since 1966, Waban has been providing programming and services to help those with autism, intellectual and developmental, and other disabilities live the most fulfilling lives possible. Waban held its 50th Annual Telethon in March to help raise funds for the organization. Funds raised through the telethon are crucial to the Fraser Ford Child Development Center and the success of children with autism and other intellectual disabilities in our community. Proceeds help support developmental therapy, specialized equipment, therapeutic recreation, and other educational services. “Waban has been an inte-

gral part of this community for decades,” Partners Bank President and CEO Blain Boudreau (pictured above) said. “Every person deserves to have a chance a fulfilling life and Waban and its staff have been a wonderful asset to those who need their services the most.” Donations to and more information about Waban can be found at www.waban.org. For more information about Partners Bank, visit www.partnersbankonline.com or call 207-3242285.

Woodfords Family Services is a nonprofit organization committed to the support and inclusion of people with special needs and their families in Maine communities.

People and Business Profiles Sen. Collins Meets with Members of American Legion WASHINGTON, D.C. “For more than a century, the American Legion has been committed to ensuring veterans and their families have access to the care and resources they have earned and deserve,” said Senator Collins. “Members of the American Legion are devoted to improving services for veterans across Maine and the nation. One of the important issues we discussed is the need to expand the availability of high-speed Internet so that veterans can

access telehealth. I look forward to our continued work together to ensure that federal policies support veterans.” Senator Collins recently introduced the American Broadband Buildout Act (ABBA), a bipartisan bill that would extend broadband to rural areas, a priority shared by the American Legion. In addition, she introduced the Advancing Uniform Transportation Opportunities (AUTO) for Veterans Act, bipartisan legislation that would

reduce the financial burden for severely disabled veterans who require special adaptive equipment to drive a motor vehicle. The American Legion is the largest wartime veterans service organization with 2.4 million members in more than 12,000 posts in nearly every community in America. The Legion, established by an act of Congress in 1919, was instrumental in getting the original GI Bill through Congress and in the creation of the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Keybank Announces $40 Billion Invested in Communities YORK COUNTY Building on early fulfillment of its groundbreaking $16.5 billion Community Benefits Plan, KeyBank announced it will increase its commitment to $40 billion. The investments will continue focus on economic access and equity for underserved communities and populations. Launched in 2017, the National Community Benefits Plan surpassed its $16.5 billion goal in 2020 by delivering more than $18 billion in lending and investments across its footprint. This includes $280 million of investments in Maine supporting small business and home lending in

low- and-moderate income communities, affordable housing and community development projects, and philanthropic efforts targeted toward education, workforce development, and safe, vital neighborhoods. Highlights from the first four years of community investment in Maine include: KeyBank invested more than $68 million in affordable housing and community development projects, such as investments in funds with Northern New England, now known as Evernorth; KeyBank originated $59 million in small business loans to businesses that are part

of low- and-moderate income communities; KeyBank provided $151 million in mortgage lending to low- and moderate-income communities; KeyBank made $2.35 million in transformational philanthropic investments in neighborhoods through grants to nonprofit organizations such as Avesta Housing, Preble Street, Maine Medical Center, and the United Way of Greater Portland. From hiring and career development to increasing spend with diverse suppliers, KeyBank will continue its longstanding focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion inside and outside of the company.
