Center for Wildlife Faces New Challenges, Needs Help

Center for Wildlife Ambassadors bring joy and learning to all ages, including residents at Durgin Pines during the pandemic. (Courtesy photo)

CAPE NEDDICK What a year it has been for Center for Wildlife (CFW)! Last spring, the non-profit organization was poised to launch the public phase to wrap up the $5.5M capital campaign for a new facility. Weekend tours and a large-scale fundraiser were on the calendar. But the pandemic hit, and the Center for Wildlife found itself not only questioning whether it could finish the campaign and the building, but whether it would be able to remain open. “We were definitely nerv-

ous about what might happen. We couldn’t host any volunteers because if COVID-19 went through our small, licensed staff, nobody would be there to provide medical treatment for the 190 different species we treat. We had creative contingency and last resort plans, just because animals cannot obviously miss a day of food and water, particularly disabled and injured/orphaned ones!” shared Executive Director, Kristen Lamb. Thanks to the community’s generosity, along with state and federal relief funds, the indoor

space at the new facility was completed, animal admissions did not even skip a day, and educational programming took on a different shape. Children and adults alike tuned in to free daily and weekly programming on CFW’s social media. Local nursing homes got window visits from wildlife ambassadors. And programming for all ages has been carried out safely onsite via small group and COVID-conscious sessions. But the center now faces anSee CENTER page 4...

Forum to Address Habitat Improvement on World Bee Day STATEWIDE Come see what all the buzz is about at “Buzzworthy: The Decline of Native Pollinators and What We Can Do to Enhance Their Habitat in Maine” via online on Thursday, May 20, 8-10 a.m. There has been an alarming decline in native pollinator abundance and species diversity over the past several decades. Maine is home to over 270 species of native pollinators (including bees, moths, hummingbirds, and butterflies), but these numbers are threatened by several factors such as habitat

fragmentation and loss, climate change, pesticide use, and disease. Bees and other pollinators play an important role in our food supply system. They are responsible for the pollination of 75 percent of the fruit, nuts, and vegetables grown in our country, and one out of every four bites of food we eat exist because of pollinators. In fact, pollination produces products worth almost $20 billion annually in the US! This timely forum to be held on World Bee Day will examine the background, biology,

and current status of native bees in Maine; how Maine residents, businesses, and industry can all play a role in reversing the decline of pollinators; see examples

from municipal, agricultural, and commercial sectors (including renewable energy) on recent work happening in Maine to encourage pollinators; and learn what community members can do to create or enhance the habitat of native bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. Speakers include: Jennifer Lund, State of Maine Apiarist and Bee Inspector, Maine Department of Agriculture; Deron Lawrence, Director of Natural Resources Permitting & Policy, Longroad Energy; Eric Topper,

Director of Education, Maine Audubon; Dan Danvers, Registered Landscape Architect, Sebago Technics Inc.; Laurie Bowen, Community Education Assistant, University of Maine Cooperative Extension and moderated by Sarah Watts, Vice President and Operations Manager, Tetra Tech. A copy of speaker slides and the recording will be sent to all paid registrants. To register, go to https://e2tech.org/event-4253450. Tickets for E2Tech Members is $15, $30 for non-members.

Maine CDC Highlights Lyme Disease in May STATEWIDE The Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention (Maine CDC) urges the state’s residents and visitors to focus on tick prevention during May, Lyme Disease Awareness Month. This year’s Lyme Disease Awareness Month theme is “Stop. Check. Prevent.” The campaign asks Maine people to stop frequently to check for ticks because personal prevention measures are the best way to keep from getting a tickborne disease.

ticks as seen in the image to the right) can carry the germs that cause diseases including Lyme disease, anaplasmosis, babesiosis, and Borrelia miyamotoi disease. These ticks are most commonly found in wooded, leafy, and shrubby areas, putting most Mainers at risk every day. Anyone spending time outdoors should take steps to limit their exposure to ticks. Ticks are already active in Maine. The following strategies help prevent exposure to ticks and the diseases they carry: Use caution in areas where ticks may be found; Use an EPA-approved

Rotary Clubs Complete Veteran’s Stone Project

WELLS On May 1, a Rotary-led team of volunteers gathered at the Ocean View Cemetery in Wells in an effort to honor and enhance the condition of each and every veteran’s gravestone. Volunteers included members of the both the Wells and Ogunquit Rotary Clubs, and several students from the Wells High School Rotary In-

teract Club. Enhancements included, cutting grass, removing mildew and mold and power washing all stones that needed improvements in preparation for Memorial Day. Many of the stones had not been cleaned for years. Some were buried under grass or had mildew that grew over their name and rank. In addition, many of the

volunteers took a moment to say the name of the veteran in an effort to recognize the deceased veteran for their service. The Rotary Club of Wells identified this event as a muchneeded service project which would not only improve the veterans’ stones but also allow community members to come together and provide an initiative that improves the condition of the cemetery and makes a positive impact for the families of each veteran. More than 600 Veterans have been laid to rest at Ocean View Cemetery with service ranging from the Civil War through military tours in the Middle East. Kevin Fox, co-advisor for the Wells High School Rotary Interact club, states “When the students learned of the project it was clear that they wanted to be part of an initiative. It gave them the chance to show their respect and to honor our deceased veterans. Having an opportunity to connect with community leaders while taking action for their school and community has been

species along with foster parents for orphaned young. “During the transition our community has definitely let us know they miss visiting these animals in their homes. We have clear and concise signage, 24-hour video surveillance, a strong working relationship with the York Police Department along with their ongoing monitoring, and a temporary gate in preparation for the move. But due to recent activity, we now do not feel comfortable moving them until we have installed full perimeter fencing, a permanent gate, and have further increased our current security. These animals offer so much to our community’s wellbeing in terms of balancing ecosystems and connecting people of all ages to nature. They deserve to recover and live in sanctuary and safety” shares Lamb. The CFW had begun the major gifts phase of its “Rooted in Nature” campaign to encompass moving and rebuilding wild animal enclosures from the former property to the new, along with paving, pollinator and native plant gardens, a children’s natural play area, and security and fencing to go along with it all. They had hoped to fundraise throughout the year and move the ambassadors over as a priority. But with security and fencing as an imminent need, they are focused on raising $75,000 by the end of June. An anonymous donor has stepped up to provide a challenge match of $20,000 to help the organization reach their goal. They will match any gift made before June 30.

Town Seeks Input on Improving Conditions for Walking and Bicycling

ELIOT The Town of Eliot seeks community input on corridors to prioritize for improving conditions for people walking and bicycling. This could mean building a sidewalk or pathway, widening road shoulders, installing or improving a crosswalk, or making similar improvements. Where would you like to see these improvements? Extending from the existing sidewalk on State Road by the Library, Town Office, and El-

ementary School? Connecting to a destination like Frost-Tufts Park or the Boat Basin? Another location? What types of improvements would you like to see? You can submit your comments to Jeff Brubaker, Town Planner, at planner@eliotme. org or by calling 207-439-1817 x 112. You can also stop by the Town Office at 1333 State Rd. during business hours. We will also be holding “walking office hours” on a

limited number of corridors (up to six). These will be scheduled times when Town staff will be walking along these corridors to assess conditions and be available to meet outside with interested residents to hear your preferences. More details to follow. If you are interested in having your street or road be a “walking office hour” corridor, please contact Jeff Brubaker. After collecting resident input, we expect that the next step would be a draft report,

informed by that input, with priority corridors and improvement types to be reviewed by Town committees and the Select Board. This report would also include a discussion of context,

feasibility, benefits, and challenges for each corridor and improvement type. After committee and Select Board review and finalizing the report, the next step would be to seek external grant funding for the design of prioritized improvements.

Online Concerts by the DaPonte String Quartet STATEWIDE Filmed at the beautiful Rockport Opera House in April 2021, the May 15 concert release is a work composed in 1914 by Russian-born Igor Stravinsky. Often described as a series of pieces to be played by four strings, rather than a traditional String Quartet, this work challenges the notion of a classically structured chamber music string quartet. This novel, and one might say revolutionary, collection of pieces is one of only a few string quartet pieces written by this composer. Stravinsky later orchestrated this work, added a fourth piece, and assigned titles to each. This composer may be best known for his powerful Rite Of Spring, characterized by folk themes, distinctive rhythms, and brilliant orchestration. His Three pieces for String Quartet can be characterized in much the same way - dynamic rhythms, forceful and meaningful climaxes, and sometimes startlingly powerful musicality. One of these pieces, inspired by the antics of a popular clown of the time, is especially light-hearted and colorful. The other two pieces make a perfect musical sandwich, surrounding the middle piece with contrasting work of equal significance. Considered one of the most important composers of the 20th Century, Stravinsky also enjoyed French and American citizenship later in his life. Known as revolutionary in his abil-

ity to successfully push musical boundaries, his compositions are at once intensely satisfying and frightfully unsettling. His series of three ballet pieces, originally performed in Paris by Ballets Russes, have provided countless dance companies of all genres vast latitudes of expression and rich basis for creativity. The same is true for all his compositions. His departure from classical structure and his unexpected

combinations provide musicians with unequaled scope for freedom of expression. Also available are the DaPonte String Quartet’s recent postings of Beethoven, Schulhoff, and Mozart pieces – all available on their Vimeo channel at www.onstage.daponte. org and all are free.

~ Arts & Entertainment ~ York County Audubon Presents “Ravens, Wolves and People” YORK COUNTY On May 18, Wildlife professor John Marzluff will host an exciting program online on recent work in Yellowstone National Park which looked at interactions between ravens, wolves, and people. Ravens are known to scavenge food from wolves and people but the relationship has not been well studied. In 2019 Matthias Loretto and presenter John Marzluff began tagging ravens in Yel-

lowstone with radio transmitters. After tagging and following many ravens they were able to relate raven’s movements to the activities of people and wolves. From this the scientists gained a better understanding of the degree to which ravens rely on people and wolves. Ravens have extensive knowledge of the greater Yellowstone ecosystem. You will be surprised at the diverse ways they take advantage of human activities within this 6500 square mile area.

Garden Club Greets Spring with Flowers, Plants, Gardens, Pies KENNEBUNK On T hu rsd ay, April 29, 13 members gathered at Buff ie Clarke’s home to assemble 93 May Baskets of fresh flowers for distribution to shut-ins, the elderly and garden club friends in the area. Clarke, who has chaired this annual community outreach project for several years, appreciated the large array of colorful flowers that Seacoast members donated to the effort. She also noted that this year’s request for baskets was larger than in past years. Agencies receiving the bright baskets for distribution include Huntington Common, Atria and Home Instead, as well as various individuals. Members are also getting the various gardens that the Club maintains ready for the spring, summer and fall growing seasons. The crew that maintains the Faerie Garden and Touch & Sniff Garden at the Kennebunk Public Library recently brought the fairies, gnomes and other accessories out of winter storage and placed them back in their garden home. Members also helped judge the Faerie House contest that the library runs for local children each May. Club members are proud of the gardens that they maintain and enjoy bringing joy to the community with their efforts. These gardens include the Community House, Graves Memorial Library, the post office and the Dock Square Monument Garden in Kennebunkport and the library, Town Hall and Oakes Neck adjacent to Gooch’s and Mother’s beaches in Kennebunk. Seacoast Garden Club members, who hail from Arundel, Kennebunk, Kennebunkport and Wells, are also getting ready for their annual Plant & Pie Sale that will take place on Saturday, May 29, starting at 8:30 a.m., in its new location at

He is the author of several books including, In the Company of Crows and Ravens; Gifts of the Crow: How Perception, Emo-

BJ Miller and Barbara Karnes, RN, as speakers at its 10th Annual Thresholds Conference, “The Art & Science of Dying: Death as a Part of Life”. For the first time, the conference is taking place virtually, allowing audiences beyond southern Maine to attend the event via Zoom on Thursday, May 20, 1-4:30 p.m. Acclaimed speaker, author and hospice and palliative care specialist Dr. BJ Miller will give a keynote presentation on the topic of “Dying Well”. Dr. Miller has practiced and taught in all major settings: home, hospital, clinic, and residential care facility. In his work he draws upon his personal experiences with disability and his undergraduate studies in art history as much as his medical education. Dr. Miller speaks internationally on the themes of living well in the face of illness and death. He has been profiled in the New York Times, featured as a TED Talk speaker, interviewed by Oprah Winfrey, Tim Ferriss, and Krista Tippett and co-authored the book “A Beginner’s Guide to the End”. Guest speaker Barbara Karnes, RN will present an educational session on “The Art and Science of Dying”. Karnes is an internationally respected end-oflife educator, speaker and author of the Little Blue Book “Gone

Now more than ever, we recognize the vital role which community nursing plays in meeting the healthcare needs of our region. The exceptional nurses of our agencies deliver the highest quality care with compassion to the door of thousands of patients, wherever they call home. In celebration of National Nurses Week in May, we are proud to pay tribute to their renowned clinical expertise as well as the special relationships they develop with patients and families.

From My Sight”, the most widely-used booklet educating patients and families on the signs of approaching death. She is a renowned authority on the dying process and a leading educator for families, healthcare professionals, and the community at large. The conference will also feature introductions to key Hospice of Southern Maine employees and conversations surrounding hospice care, bereavement, and pain and symptom management. The series of presentations about end of life, the dying process, and death aims to help open the door for better understanding and honest conversations about the end of life. “It’s been a challenging year, but we’ve experienced some silver linings. In the pro-

cess of adapting to new ways of caring and supporting patients and families in the midst of the pandemic, virtual technology has really allowed us to connect with family members and loved ones across the globe, many of whom might have previously been missing out on things like visits and social services or grief support due to distance,” noted Daryl Cady, CEO of Hospice of Southern Maine. “This conference is another opportunity for us to reach audiences beyond Maine, helping to communicate the benefits of hospice care with a broader audience.” For more information, including the full schedule of events and how to register for the conference, visit www.hospiceofsouthernmaine.org.

Guitars for Vets Offers Veterans Lessons for Guitar & Life NATIONWIDE Established in 2007, Guitars for Vets, a non-profit organization, came together when Marine Corps Veteran Dan Van Buskirk took months of guitar lessons from Patrick Nettesheim. Through their lessons, Van Buskirk was able to learn to play the guitar and since then, the two became friends. Both realized that these lessons created an outlet for expression as well as provided a positive interaction. Together they went to the Clement J. Zablocki VA Medical Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin to share their story. Since then, Guitars for Vets, or G4V, has expanded to be operating out of 110 VA chapters in 40 states. The G4V guitar instruction program can help Veterans working through physical injuries, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other forms of emotional distress. Music therapy is an evidence-based clinical treatment designed to help Veterans through music. The therapy can help improve Veterans’ communication, coordination and interpersonal skills. Nettesheim also developed the G4V “fourway path,” which consists of Patience, Acceptance, Gratitude

and Empathy (PAGE). These are the guiding principles used throughout the program. The G4V program starts with a 10-week instruction period. During this time Veterans are given one-on-one individualized lessons. They promote teaching the music that appeals to the student and works at the students’ pace. After completing the lessons, the graduation process involves receiving a free acoustic guitar and guitar accessory kit. The next step is to continue practicing and learning. Each month there are group sessions organized by one of the 110 chapters and growing. The group sessions develop a community of fellow Veterans and guitarist. To date, GV4 has provided over 4,000 guitars to Veterans. Enrollment in G4V requires a referral from a case or social worker to a local VA office that offers a G4V program. G4V does not control admission into the program. To find a local chapter they offer a locator tool on their website www.guitars4vets.org. For readers located in Maine, consider starting a Maine chapter or donating your equipment to the cause!

Health & Fitness Oral Health Matters As if COVID-19 wasn’t enough of a health problem, avoiding the dentist or dental hygienist will only make matters worse. But the downturn in the economy has us seeking affordable alternatives to traditional oral health care especially if you don’t have insurance. Finding a patientcentered dental practice can be challenging. Over 50% of dental offices are now run by a DSO or Dental Support Network such as Heartland or Aspen which tend to center on productivity with weekly production goals to increase profits. The pressure to sell additional procedures can take precedence over the patient’s desires or pocketbook. While numerous financial payment plans exist to help families pay for orthodontics (braces) or implants and crowns, it is the patient that should drive the

$2.5M Grant for Rural Health Care Training WASHINGTON, D.C. Congresswoman Chellie Pingree (D-ME) announced recently that Coastal Counties Workforce Inc. of Brunswick will receive a $2.5 million grant from the U.S. Department of Labor to deploy a Rural Health Training program in Cumberland, Knox, Lincoln, Sagadahoc, Waldo, and York Counties. This grant will help train rural health care workers for nursing and pharmacy jobs. “As regions urban and rural alike experience coronavirus infections, it’s clear that we need more health care workers. Coupled with an economic crisis that has spurred widespread unemployment, this grant could not come at a better moment,” said Pingree. “I’m proud to announce that Coastal Counties Workforce will receive $2.5 million to train rural workers for high-wage, high-skills careers in nursing and pharmacy. I’m particularly excited to see that this program will target unemployed and underemployed low-income Mainers, veterans, formerly incarcerated individuals, and immigrant workers — many of the same Mainers who have been affected most by the coronavirus’ economic ramifications. In the oldest state by population, these jobs will be in high demand for See RURAL page 22...

budget conversation. Investing in prevention is money well spent. Minimally Invasive Dentistry (MI) is a biologic approach rather than a surgical model where tooth structure is basically amputated. A preventive mind-set means determining risk factors for caries (decay) using higher level fluoride toothpastes/rinses, changing the diet to make the mouth less acidic and using xylitol products to reduce the number of strep-mutans in the mouth which are the main culprits in cavity-causing bacteria. Plaque is really a complex biofilm that is home to hundreds of bacterial species that adhere to the tooth surface. Accumulation of plaque can lead to inflammation manifesting in bleeding gums, gingivitis and periodontitis that can ultimately lead to bone loss in the surrounding tissue. The best way to get the

plaque off is to brush for two minutes-twice a day and modern technology has come to the rescue. There are several “vibrating” toothbrushes on the market that stimulate the gums and remove more plaque than manual brushing. WaterPik is the gold standard in water-flossing that research has shown removes 40% of under-thegum plaque. They have recently launched the new Sonic Fusion 2.0 which is a toothbrush and water-flosser all-in-one which along with regular dental hygiene prophylaxis (cleanings) will ensure your gums are in top shape. While you’re at it, save money and quit smoking because smoking is a vasoconstrictor that is basically smothering your gum cells. Gum disease has been linked to heart disease, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and even Alzheimer’s. You can’t have a healthy body without a healthy mouth. Your dental professionals are COVID-ready and want to ensure you have a healthy smile! In 2017, Susanne Kuehl

FINANCE & CAREER New Scholarship Honors Fournier

WELLS A new scholarship fund has been launched to honor local plumber and community fixture Fred Fournier, who died in January after sustaining serious injuries in a snowmobile accident. The annual scholarship will provide financial assistance to a deserving Wells High School senior interested in pursuing a career in the trades. “Fred loved Wells High School and his community, and I can think of no better way to honor his memory than by helping local students to learn from his example and be supported while beginning a career in the trades,” said Suellen Goodman, Fournier’s girlfriend of many years.

Fournier was a multi-sport athlete at Wells High School, playing on the football and basketball team before graduating in 1972. After graduating from Purdue University, Fournier became a self-employed plumber and an active member of the community. He was a frequent attendee at Wells High School sports games, locally and on the road, until the pandemic upended regular life. The Fred Fournier Memorial Scholarship will be awarded beginning with the Wells High School Class of 2021. For more information or to donate to the fund, individuals can visit FredScholarship.org or send a check or money order to P.O. Box 115, Kennebunk, ME 04043.

Maine Ranks High with Shifting Population

STATEWIDE According to HireAhelper’s analysis of 75,000 recent moves, Maine witnessed significant growth over the last year – the third largest in the country. The report cites this ranking using “net growth” which takes the number of residents moving into the state and divides it by the number of residents moving out, expressed by a percentage. Here is where Maine ranks among the rest among top states people moved to (Net Growth): Idaho (+103%), Vermont (+62%), Maine (+48%), Delaware (+27%), South Carolina (+25%), New Hampshire (+13%), New Mexico (+11%), North Carolina (+11%), Tennessee (+10%), Iowa (+10%). The data demonstrates

Study on Maine’s Solar Program Shows Promising Results

AUGUSTA A new study released by the consulting firm Daymark Energy Advisors shows that Maine’s Net Energy Billing (NEB) program has already generated significant net program benefits, and is on track to drive hundreds of millions more in new investment in Maine – while delivering significant cost savings to consumers and reducing emissions at the same time. The study, titled “Costs and Benefits of Maine’s Net

Energy Billing Program,” provides a thorough review of the costs and benefits associated with the program. In particular, the study finds: NEB solar projects have already stimulated $60 million in economic activity in Maine, supporting hundreds of Maine jobs; Projects in the NEB pipeline, once completed, would drive nearly $800 million in economic activity and support thousands of Maine jobs; If the total pipeline of projects currently on hold are completed, they would support 1,400 full-time jobs for 5

years; The NEB program is displacing natural gas usage, and is currently reducing 34,000 tons of carbon annually; Bringing all inprocess NEB projects online will reduce carbon emissions by more than 600,000 tons per year; NEB reduces the cost of energy to Maine consumers; NEB also reduces transmission charges by reducing the load on Maine’s infrastructure. “This study makes it clear: community solar and Maine’s Net Energy Billing program have been incredibly successful,” said Kaitlin Kelly O’Neill, Northeast Regional Director for the Coalition for Community Solar Access. “Not only have these projects moved Maine toward our decarbonization goals, they’ve also saved consumers money and driven job creation at the same time.” The study was conducted after the Maine Public Utilities Commission (PUC) released a report last year showing the NEB program’s impact on utility revenues.

that the pandemic played a huge role in migration with Americans fleeing large metropolitan areas. Key Takeaways included: A quarter (25%) of Americans who moved in 2020 did so due to the pandemic; Around 35% of COVID-forced moves were out of financial hardship and Nearly one-third of those who moved because of COVID-19 did so to look after family.

Online Resource for Those Affected AUGUSTA Bitwise Industries (www. bitwiseindustries.com), the Kapor Center, and the administration of Gov. Janet Mills recently announced the launch of www.onwardme.org, a resource for Maine people affected by COVID-19 to find assistance programs, workforce training, and employment opportunities. The PUC study has been heavily criticized for its narrow scope. Maine PUC chair Phil Bartlett has acknowledged the limitation of their report, and has acknowledged publicly that a more thorough review could have been done if the Legislature had allocated funding for it. “The Daymark study now gives us a solid basis for discussion about the benefits of the NEB program,” said Jeremy Payne, Executive Director of the Maine Renewable Energy Association (MREA). “Policymakers can now make decisions about the future of the program through a full accounting of its costs and benefits – our priority has always been to ensure the future of DG solar in Maine is based on the most comprehensive set of facts.”

“Onwardme.org offers Maine people a valuable resource to find employment, training, and support, which will advance Maine’s economic recovery from the pandemic,” said Gov. Mills. The new platform is a one-stop resource providing support to the people of Maine impacted by job loss in the wake of the pandemic. Displaced workers looking for help can get connected to emergency resources; get connected to training programs to up-skill for a new career and get matched with employers looking for people with their current skill set. The website brings together all of the resources, organizations and direction the people of Maine need to navigate life during the state of emergency. The platform connects people to funds and necessities such as groceries, shelter or medicine. It will also provide connections to start retraining for a new career and work opportunities for people in-demand skills. By providing these different connections, the people of Maine can get back to work and know that despite the social distancing, they are not alone. “Individuals who have lost jobs, may struggle to access necessities and might not know where to go for help,” said Jake Soberal, CEO and co-founder of Bitwise Industries. “With the help of the Governor’s team and multiple other critical partners, we created a centralized online source of information to help workers suffering from job loss amidst COVID-19 get back on their feet.”

~ Computer Lady ~ Dear Computer Lady, What would your recommendations be for a 67-year-old lady on a very limited income that’s not very tech savvy. I’ve already “been taken” and lost a lot of money in the process not knowing who to trust, you’re one that I do trust to tell me what would be good for me to use, that won’t break the bank, and give me a sense of security. I’d like to get to writing books instead of always worrying about my computer. Kris Dear Kris, First and foremost don’t believe anyone who calls and says they have detected problems on your computer. Also, don’t believe the ads that pop up on some websites that say your computer is having problems and call the number listed for help. Both of those are scams. Don’t give anyone control of your computer unless you absolutely know who they are. If you have any doubts, don’t do it. Beyond that, have a good antivirus suite running on your computer and a good malware program. I use Emsisoft Anti Malware which includes both virus and malware protection. With these protections in place, you should be able to concentrate on your writing just like I do, and not worry about your computer security. Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, I hope you can help me! Many years a reader but have not seen this question. My iPod has died. I understand they cannot be charged but hope you can tell me how do I clean it out

and/or save data to my iPad. Thank you in advance! Nancy Dear Nancy, I am not aware of any way you can easily save your data or clean out the device once it is no longer working unless you have already backed up your files to either iTunes or iCloud. Hopefully this will be a warning to other readers who have an iDevice. Backup your data! Either turn on iCloud automatic backup, or connect it to your computer and use iTunes to backup on a regular basis. There are data recovery companies that will attempt to extract the data for you, but these services are not cheap. As for cleaning your data out of the iPod, once it is dead, your best option is to just destroy the device. Once it has been crushed, the data is destroyed. Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, Here’s another question regarding photos from Kindle to Laptop. My Kindle is refurbished and did not come with a USB cable. The cable I use keeps my Kindle charged from the laptop, but the laptop never acknowledges that I have plugged in the Kindle. Am I wrong to believe that a USB is a USB is a USB? And, since the laptop has more than one port, would it make any difference if I tried another? One port is connected to my wifi and the other is connected to my printer. The third one is the one I use to charge the Kindle. Thank you, dear Computer Lady - you are very kind, Sid

There are actually three speeds of USB ports, and some computers have all three, while others have only one or two. There are also different qualities of USB cables. I suspect

that your problem would probably be solved with a different cable, rather than a different port. First, lets look at the three types of USB ports. USB 1 is usually indicated by a white

plastic piece in the port. USB 1 is rather slow with a maximum speed of 12 megabits per second, and I would usually use it for See COMPUTERS page 30...

Maine SBDC Releases 2020 Results STATEWIDE The Maine Small Business Development Centers (Maine SBDC), a statewide program that helps entrepreneurs start and grow their businesses, announced the annual results for 2020.

FUNERAL HOME

Kittery, ME We are often asked by the families we serve, here at JS Pelkey & Son and Bernier Funeral Homes, why certain expressions and traditions exist in the funeral service industry. One of the most often asked questions is “Why send flowers to a memorial service or funeral, aren’t they just a waste of money?” Well nothing could be further from the truth. As my friend Todd Van Beck recently wrote in an article: Flowers are sent to funerals for several reasons. Flowers are a means of expression. It is often difficult for those mourning a death to put feelings into words. Flowers are a visual expression of love, sympathy, and respect. They are a way of lending support and sharing the burden of grief. In addition to sending flowers to the funeral, there is a growing trend to send flowers to the home of the bereaved after the service. Some people also send flowers to the church in memory of the deceased. Flowers create a background of warmth and beauty which adds to the dignity and consolation of the service. Those who have attended services where there were no flowers have noted that something was

bereaved’s feelings in the patterns of community support which are psychologically beneficial. Flowers, however, express the inexpressible – they are symbolic.

missing – that the funeral was depressing. The funeral meets the bereaved’s need for support. Death throws people into despair and depression by separating them from one who has provided love, companionship, and security. The funeral and customs provide the means by which those close to them can give their support and share their suffering. The funeral period provides for the expression of sorrow. Only through talking about the past can the bereaved person realize the extent of the relationship with the deceased, and accept the loss and suffering. Only through weeping and talking to good listeners can they release their grief and feelings of guilt and hostility. Experts in grief therapy believe that it can be expressed best through rites, rituals, and ceremonies. The ceremony deals primarily with intellectual concepts and doesn’t fully engage the

125 Old Post Rd., Kittery, ME 207-439-4900 www.jspelkeyfuneralhome.com

There are three points to be stressed, finally, in connection with the tradition of funeral flowers. First, the role of flowers are both symbolic and aesthetic. They add great value to the richness and meaning of the ritual. Second, flowers represent sympathy extended to the bereaved. Third, flowers are sent to both the living and the dead. They are sent to the living as comfort and as tokens of respect for the deceased. We, at the JS Pelkey & Son and the Bernier Funeral Homes, hold the value of the work our local florists do in very high regard. We always encourage the families we serve to contact a local florist directly. Certainly there are national floral outlets that can be reached with a simple Google search but, honestly, the quality of these products are often substandard. Simply click the “Send Flowers” tab on our website and you will be directed to our list of trusted florists. Please call us about any questions with which we may help.

Prime Tanning Site Gets Funding For Reclamation Effort BERWICK Southern Maine Planning and Development Commission (SMPDC), which runs an EPA Brownfields Remediation Program in New England, announced that it is issuing a loan for continued environmental cleanup of the former Prime Tanning property (re-named “The Edge at Berwick”) now owned by Great Falls Construction of Gorham. SMPDC Economic and Community Development Director Chuck Morgan said, “SMPDC is committed to seeing the dream for Berwick’s Prime Tanning site fully realized. We are thrilled to continue our involvement and investment in this project. Great Falls Construction has worked closely with SMPDC and the Town of Berwick to move the vision forward from an environmentally hazardous former leather manufacturing site to a productive and visually appealing village center.” The timeline for this project to transform the former industrial center of Berwick began in 2019 when Great Falls Construction purchased the property. The developers held numerous community meetings over the past year and recently unveiled the draft site plan. Construction is slated to begin this spring. Jon Smith, President of Great Falls Construction, said, “We have three tasks: Take down older buildings, renovate existing buildings, and construct new buildings. The pandemic has pushed our completion date back and has increased costs but our hope is to have the project finished in 3-5 years with some space occu-

pied within a year.” The draft plan presented at a community meeting last fall includes a focus on connecting a “new Main Street” for easy access to Town Hall and Memorial Field for recreation; pocket parks; family friendly entertainment and restaurants; first floor commercial units including incubator space; upper floor residential apartments; and a daycare center. Berwick Town Manager Steve Eldredge praised the project, “We are very excited about this project and the progress being made. Great Falls Construction has been excellent to work with. They have been very thoughtful and have embraced the town’s vision to make it work with theirs. Berwick’s downtown will be an amazing change and will bring benefits to the community and the region.” The former Prime Tanning site consists of ten acres in the center of Berwick. It housed various manufacturing operations dating from 1877. In 2008, Prime Tanning closed the leather making mill and filed for bankruptcy. In 2014, Envision Berwick, the group assigned by the Board of Selectmen to develop and implement the town’s comprehensive plan, crafted Envisioning Downtown Berwick, calling for a communi-

ty-centered walkable downtown. In 2016, Berwick worked with SMPDC to clean up the site as part of the EPA’s Brownfields environmental clean up program. Great Falls Construction purchased the site in 2019 and began working on “The Edge at Berwick,” a neighborhood-and community-focused development which seeks to transform the former industrial center of Berwick into an inviting village center that fosters strong, sustainable and suitable downtown growth for years to come. For more information, visit www.smpdc.org. ...RURAL from page 15 years to come. I’m glad Coastal Counties is investing into jobs that meet our current crisis and prepare us for the future.” Coastal Counties Workforce’s Maine Rural Healthcare Partnership will operate in conjunction with MaineHealth, Northern Light Health, and the CVS Pharmacy in Saco among others, to train rural workers in nursing and pharmacy careers. This grant will help with apprenticeships, on-the-job training, accelerated learning, and online learning, among other strategies, and will work with the Maine Community College System.

DAR Members Create & Donate One Million Masks to Communities in Need WASHINGTON, DC In just under a year, members of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) donated more than a million handmade face masks and gathered personal protective equipment (PPE) for essential workers and others in need during the pandemic. The March 17 announcement that the grassroots service project, Service to America from Home, has surpassed a million items donated came just days before the one-year anniversary of the launch of the initiative on March 21. “We are so pleased to cross the million mask mark and to know that our members are still sewing and donating PPE to help people in need. It’s all part of a proud tradition of service that dates to our 1890 founding and I am so proud of our members,” said Denise Doring VanBuren, DAR President General. “In

Moose Lottery Deadline Approaches

STATEWIDE The 2021 Maine moose permit lottery application process is open and applications for the moose permit lottery are accepted online only. To apply, go to www.mefishwildlife.com and fill out the online moose permit application. There, hunters will be able to indicate several preferences, including which wildlife management districts (WMD) they are willing to accept a permit in, and options of accepting a permit in another WMD if their name is drawn and all top choices are filled. Hunters will also be able to select a preferred hunting season, options on accepting an antlerless permit, and choice of a sub-permittee. New in 2021, the Department is proposing an adaptive unit hunt to determine if lowering the moose population density in the western side of WMD 4

can lessen the impacts of winter tick. Applicants will be asked if they want to apply for an adaptive unit hunt permit when completing the application. Applications must be completed by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on May 13. The virtual 2021 moose lottery permit drawing will take place June 12.

Pinky now accepts and welcomes affection from our devoted Safe Haven volunteer team and likes to be gently pet. Pinky has come a long way. Like any creature who lived outside, she was wary and nervous at first but making up for it now and is ready for a loving, forever home. We believe she’s between two and four years old, she’s spayed and vaccinated and tested.

Dear Geraldine, If you have Microsoft Excel installed on your computer, you can actually use that program to double check your registry. You don’t even have to set it up

yourself since Microsoft has a checkbook register template on their website. If you don’t own Microsoft Office, the free LibreOffice program also has a checkbook register template. These simple spreadsheet templates should do exactly what you are looking for. Elizabeth Interested in learning more? Elizabeth has answered thousands of computer questions over the years.

health care workers, police officers, emergency medical workers, migrant children and their families, military service members, nursing home workers, state veterans’ homes, Native American communities, and many others. By May 2020, DAR members had already made and distributed 300,000 masks. DAR members quickly surpassed the half a million mark in June 2020, and they just kept sewing throughout 2020 and into 2021 as requests came in from communities in need. Just recently, the DAR accepted a request for 5,000 masks from a school district in Maryland that needs them for low-income children returning to classrooms.

The DAR’s work on the mask-making project hearkens back to a long tradition of service to America. DAR members organized the DAR Hospital Corps during the SpanishAmerican War. During World War I DAR loaned its National Headquarters land in downtown Washington, D.C. to the federal government for a temporary office building housing 600 people working on the war effort. During World War II, the DAR worked with the American Red Cross and loaned its buildings to support the war effort, even housing a day nursery for children in its basement for working military spouses. To learn more about DAR visit www.dar.org.
