Eleanor Buraczynski World War II Vet Turns 101

World War II veteran and Durgin Pines resident Eleanor Buraczynski celebrates her 101st birthday on Friday, June 14, at a surprise “Sock Hop” birthday party, surrounded by family and friends. The event will honor her remarkable life and service, bringing together loved ones to celebrate this special milestone.

Eleanor was born on June 15, 1923, in Mt. Vernon, NH. After graduating from high school, she pursued her deep interest in people and the human body by enrolling at the Mt. Auburn School of Nursing in Cambridge, MA, where she

earned her degree as a Registered Nurse. Eleanor utilized her new skillset shortly after graduating by enlisting in the Army during the early days of World War II,

ultimately serving for eight years as an Army nurse.

Eleanor served on hospital trains during the war, which played a crucial role in transport-

Celebrating Aviation Day in Eliot

ELIOT -

The public is invited to enjoy a variety of activities on Aviation Day, Saturday, June 15, hosted by the charity organization Flight4CF. The event will take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Seacoast Airfield in Eliot. Highlights include static aircraft displays, military aircraft, and remote control flight demonstrations.

Throughout the day, guests can also indulge in food trucks, enjoy a live DJ, participate in raffles, and watch skydiving at 12 p.m. Additionally, helicopter rides will be available 10-11:45 a.m. and 1:15-3 p.m., with tickets costing $40 per person. General

admission is $5, with donations going to benefit Cystic Fibrosis.

Cystic Fibrosis is a genetic disorder that predominantly affects the lungs, liver, intestine, pancreas, and kidneys. It leads to the production of thick mucus that clogs airways and traps bacteria, causing infections, lung damage, and respiratory failure. Additionally, in the pancreas, the mucus can block the release of digestive enzymes needed for nutrient absorption.

Flight4CF is a nonprofit

organization that began in 2004, founded by Rich Little in response to his daughter Piper’s diagnosis with Cystic Fibrosis (CF). The organization’s main focus is to raise awareness and funds to support research and treatment for individuals affected by CF.

The organization’s inaugural event in 2005 featured airplane rides at Beverly Airport in Beverly, MA. Over the years, Flight4CF has grown and diversified its offerings, and now

ing wounded soldiers, medical personnel, and equipment between various locations, including the front lines and medical facilities farther away from combat zones. These trains provided a means of quickly evacuating injured soldiers from the battlefield to receive medical treatment at hospitals and field stations located further back from the front lines. Hospital trains were equipped with medical facilities and staffed by doctors, nurses, and other medical personnel who provided immediate care to the wounded during transit. Additionally, they often transported supplies, equipment, and

sometimes even prisoners of war. Eleanor remembers vividly that the most difficult part of nursing on the hospital train was witnessing soldiers who had lost limbs grapple with seeing their wives and families again, for fear that they would not be loved the same. “Of course,” Eleanor said, “they were still loved, if not more.”

After the war, Eleanor spent six additional years as a nurse in the Army Reserves before returning to New England to pursue her master’s in Health Science Education. She married

Junteenth “Right To Read” with Kareem Weaver

NATIONWIDE -

National nonprofit Give Black Alliance is celebrating Juneteenth by hosting Kareem Weaver (pictured), co-founder and executive director of the national literacy advocacy organization FULCRUM, as part of its ongoing #TheCouchConversations series. During the online session, Weaver’s advocacy work will be highlighted, including his role in the upcoming film “The Right to Read,” which explores the importance of literacy as a civil rights issue.

On June 19, 1865, Union troops arrived in Galveston, TX with the news that the more than 250,000 enslaved Black people in the state were now free. This day came to be known as Juneteenth, now a federal holiday. The holiday’s name is a combination of the words

“June” and “nineteenth”; it is considered the longest-running holiday in African-American and Black communities, and was often observed with community celebrations on the third Saturday in June. Juneteenth became a federal holiday in 2021 after Congress passed the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act.

Juneteenth is a day of truth and liberation, celebrating the right to not just exist, but to be fully educated. Literacy plays a crucial role in that education. According to FULCRUM, 82% of Black children, 77% of Hispanic, 55% of White, and 46% of Asian children nationwide do not meet national reading standards by fourth grade. Researchers believe, however, that 95% of all American children can learn to read by the end of first grade. Weaver will discuss key strategies to address this literacy crisis.

Kareem Weaver is cofounder and executive director of FULCRUM, a national literacy advocacy organization. He is also the NAACP’s second vice president and chair of its Education Committee in Oakland, CA. His advocacy is featured in the film “The Right to Read,” a film by Jenny MacKenzie and executive produced by LeVar Burton. Weaver previously served as New Leaders’ executive director of the Western region and was an award-winning teacher and administrator. He holds undergraduate degrees from Morehouse College and a master’s degree in clinical community psychology from the University of South Carolina.

her love, Walter Buraczynski, in 1950, and they went on to raise

two daughters, Karen and Patricia. While leading an active family life filled with outdoor activities like skiing and skating, Eleanor simultaneously pursued

her nursing career. She served as an educator at the collegiate level, worked as a school nurse at Wellesley College, and eventually assumed the role of a nursing

administrator. Eleanor’s passion for nursing was so strong that she continued practicing even after Walter’s passing in 1982. She settled in Wells after retiring at the age of 70, yet still found joy in her work.

An adventurous spirit throughout the years, Eleanor has traveled to various corners of the world. Notable trips that she enjoyed included Germany to see the Berlin Wall, and to Australia. She even traveled to New Zealand, where while on a plane tour one of the plane’s engines caught fire!

On May 9 of this year, Eleanor was honored at the annual Remember ME event held in Augusta by the Maine Health Care Association (MHCA). One of MHCA’s most popular programs, the Remember ME project features black-and-white photographs accompanied by brief biographies of pioneering, innovative, and interesting residents living in Maine’s long-term care facilities. The event began with

a recognition ceremony where MHCA presented residents with Certificates of Lifetime Achievement, one of which was awarded to Eleanor. Additionally, Eleanor recently received a “Happy Birthday” note from Senator Susan Collins, who thanked her for her service in the Army as an Army Nurse 1st Lieutenant. One year after celebrating her 100th birthday in 2023, Eleanor continues to cherish her expanding family, which now includes five grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. At Durgin Pines, she is well known for her warm greetings and inviting presence. Active in veteran groups, Eleanor enjoys sharing her life’s wonderful stories, often while having her nails painted. Eleanor’s extraordinary life is a testament to resilience, dedication, and an unwavering spirit. From her service as an Army nurse during World War II to her impactful career in nursing and education, she has touched countless lives with her compassion and commitment. Now, as she celebrates her 101st birthday, Eleanor continues to inspire those around her with her vibrant presence and remarkable stories, leaving a legacy of love and service that spans the generations.

Community Dog Park Opens

YORK -

The Friends of York Dog Park (FOYDP) are pleased to announce the long-awaited opening of York Dog Park has finally arrived, having officially opened on Sunday, June 2. Area dogs and their humans attended, where the Board of Directors welcomed them and provided background on the project, which began in January 2019. Grassroots fundraising by the all-volunteer Board took over five years. Negotiations with the York Town Government and various permitting agencies resulted in a long-term lease agreement to build the park on town-owned land, without using taxpayer money.

A special thanks goes to the tireless Board for their commitment to the project. Board members currently include Chair Elizabeth Bardwell, who took the position after Stephen Bracciotti stepped down. Eliza-

beth has been instrumental in shepherding the dog park to its completion.

Secretary Jackie Grant, who in addition to the usual responsibilities, has acted as marketing and communications director. Ann Peterson of Annimals Pet Supply is the Board’s Financial Officer, and is an invaluable resource for various fundraising events.

Dawn Hackett has been instrumental in keeping FOYDP visible in the community during the park’s development, conducting outreach and hands-on site work.

FOYDP’s most recent member, Doug Gray, has been acting as Vice Chair since January 2023. He has provided hands-on site work, overseeing excavation, sign development, and installation, and has been a major donor, helping to bring the project, which encountered ever-increasing costs, forward to

The Board is grateful for long-term volunteer Martha Donnell, who has pitched in in so many ways. Each core member has donated innumerable hours, talented resources and funds to the project. The Board thanks the individuals and businesses who have been founding donors.

The park is located at 17 Bog Road in York, and is open seven days a week, dawn to dusk. Currently there is a carry-in, carry-out waste policy in place. Waste bags are available at the park and should be taken off site by owners for proper waste disposal. Until there is a suitable potable water source on site, guests are encouraged to bring their own drinking water for the dogs. Water bowls are provided at the park.

Periwinkle, the only surviving kitten, struggled to survive due to Chutney’s inadequate milk supply. Periwinkle is now being bottle-fed and kept warm and safe.

Chutney came from a hoarder situation where she and many other cats were stockpiled and then neglected until they were rescued. She is now available for adoption to a cat-experienced person. This lovely oneyear-old tiger is hungry for love and attention. When a person stops petting her, she sometimes swats, indicating she wants more affection. She may even give little love bites to get immediate attention.

Chutney just wants to be around her humans at all times, a common behavior among cats who have experienced neglect or lack of affection. They often crave attention and love. Chut-

ney is going through a range of emotions now, partly due to her history of neglect and her hormonal challenges from her difficult pregnancy. This only emphasizes the importance of providing her with plenty of love and personal attention, as she has faced nothing but hardship throughout her life.

Safe Haven is determined to find Chutney her perfect home. First, it must be with someone who understands cats, at least enough to recognize that this young beauty is going through a difficult emotional time. Ideally, this person should be knowledgeable about reading cat signals. Chutney can be unpredictable with her swiping and nipping, so one must be mindful of how how she responds to any stimuli.

Marshwood Freshmen Hold Tree Dedication Ceremony

SOUTH BERWICK -

Throughout this past school year, Marshwood High School (MHS) freshmen advisories have dedicated their time to various community initiatives. They contributed to the South Berwick Food Pantry and raised over $400 for A House for ME. Additionally, they read stories to the children at Leaps and Bounds Daycare and assisted in beautifying the school grounds by planting flowers and trees.

Two crabapple trees were donated by Wentworth Greenhouse and planted at the cafeteria patio. One tree is dedicated to

the Marshwood High School staff with a plaque reading, “Teachers plant the seeds of forever-growing knowledge.” Another tree is dedicated to the parents of Marshwood High School students, with a plaque that says, “Strong roots produce beautiful leaves.” Both plaques include the inscription, “Planted by the class of 2027.”

The goal is for future students to return to MHS, reflect on these roots, and honor the heritage. Congratulations to the Class of 2027 for their ongoing contributions to the community! For more information, visit www.rsu35.org.

Simple Landscaping Strategies for Maximum Impact

STATEWIDE -

Transforming the exterior of a home does not always require a significant investment of time or money. Simple landscaping strategies can make a big difference in enhancing curb appeal and increasing a home’s market value. The following are a few practical tips to help get started.

Dress up the walkway. Creating a well-planned walkway with vibrant plants and flowers along the sides can give guests a strong first impression. When possible, extend the walkway landscaping to create a more grandiose entry. This helps establish a welcoming ambiance right from the start. Consider perennials such as Black-Eyed Susans, daylilies, or Coreopsis to add color and drama to any walkway.

Create symmetry. A balanced landscape can make a big difference in curb appeal. Aim for symmetry with equal parts grass and vegetation, and keep the design clean and harmonious. This approach helps to create a neat, inviting look. Winterberry Holly or Red Twig Dogwood are good options that can help to achieve visual balance in the yard.

Turn the Yard into a Vacation-Worthy Oasis

STATEWIDE

Warm weather means more time to relax outdoors. For homeowners lucky enough to have entertaining spaces outside, spring and summer offer plenty of opportunities to enjoy fresh air under the sun or stars. Over the last few years,

families have become especially familiar with what works about their yards and where there is room for improvement. Pandemic-related travel restrictions and stay-at-home mandates resulted in ample time spent in backyards on staycations. Even though many such restrictions have been

Mulch the flower and tree beds. Mulch is a cost-effective solution to add visual appeal and promote plant health. Freshly mulched beds not only offer a tidy appearance, but they also help manage weed growth and retain moisture in the soil, which is essential during dry periods.

Plant shade trees. Shade trees not only create a cool, inviting spot for outdoor relaxation, but they also protect grass from intense summer sun, helping to maintain a lush green lawn.

A well-placed bench beneath a shade tree can provide a cozy retreat for homeowners looking to enjoy warm days outdoors without getting sunburned.

Sugar Maple or Red Maple trees are hardy enough to withstand Maine winters, and provide much-needed shade during hot summers.

Consider maintenance. Low-maintenance landscaping features can offer more appeal to homeowners who do not have much time for regular upkeep. Exotic, complex designs might look impressive but can require significant time and resources to maintain. Simplify where possible to ensure a polished look with

lifted, homeowners may have appreciated the benefits of having functional respites right outside their doors.

A backyard renovation can cost anywhere from $5,000 to $50,000. The American Society of Landscape Architects suggests homeowners budget 5 to 10% of their home’s value for major landscaping projects. Here are ways to make a vacation-worthy oasis at home:

Privacy and enclosure. Living in close proximity to neighbors can make privacy a concern. Wood or vinyl fences, though effective, may not provide the all-natural look many homeowners desire. Vertical gardening, which trains easy-care vines like English ivy, Clematis, or various climbing roses to grow on trellises or fencing, adds greenery and privacy. Hedges and fastgrowing shrubs can also be used for natural barriers.

Pools and recreation. Pools

are the ultimate spots to cool off on hot days. Elaborately shaped inground pools can blend seamlessly with the landscape, offering the ultimate hang-out zone.

Above-ground pools also serve the purpose and are more budgetfriendly. Stock tank pools have gained popularity among those who want minimal pool expenditure or have small spaces to work with. Stock tanks are metal vessels traditionally used as watering holes for livestock. With some plumbing, they can be converted into “adult kiddie pools.” Galvanized steel frames make them sturdy. With floats and other accessories, stock tanks can become a perfect oasis.

Outdoor atmosphere.

Create a bespoke bistro vibe by using freestanding planters and posts along with hanging lights to create an intimate outdoor hangout spot at night. For those with permanent structures like decks or gazebos, lights can be strung across the area or along railings or edging.

minimal effort. Ferns are a good, low-maintenance option that add natural beauty to any yard and provide a natural, woodland feel. Hostas thrive in shaded or partially shaded areas, making them a popular choice for garden beds, borders, and container plantings. Native wildflowers and grasses offer both food for pollinators, are bursting with festive colors, and are virtually maintenance-free.

Incorporate focal points. Eye-catching elements such as water features, sculptures, or carefully placed boulders can add visual interest and make the landscape more captivating. Bird baths provide much-needed drinking water and a refreshing spot for birds to cool off during hot weather.

Create a functional outdoor space. Consider integrating outdoor furnishings, such as seating areas, pergolas, or a fire pit. These additions not only enhance the visual appeal of a space but also provide practical areas for homeowners to enjoy more time outdoors. When installing a fire pit, be sure to follow local fire safety guidelines. By implementing these strategies, homeowners can transform the exterior of their home into a visually appealing and low-maintenance landscape that enhances curb appeal and increases overall value.

Extend the living space. Decks and patios can help make outdoor entertaining areas more comfortable by eliminating the need to sit on grass or gravel. When paired with weatherproof patio furniture such as sofas, loungers, and tables, a private seating area can be crafted and utilized for various entertaining desires.

Relaxation and leisure. Few things evoke feelings of relaxation better than a hammock. Fitted between two trees (or two posts

Noble’s 2024 Maine Principals’ Association Award

NORTH BERWICK

-

Noble High School Principal AJ Dufort is proud to announce that the 2024 Maine Principals’ Association Award is being presented to senior Oscar Allen. Each year, schools in Maine select one student to receive the award, based on academic achievement, outstanding school citizenship, and leadership.

Oscar has excelled academically as a top 10% graduate, earning Summa Cum Laude, the highest academic honors with a grade point average over 4.0. He has done this while pursuing a rigorous course load, including multiple AP courses. In addition to his strong academic performance at Noble High School, Oscar has been a valued member of the Culinary Arts program at Sanford Regional Technical Center (SRTC).

Oscar earned the gold medal in Culinary Arts at the SkillsUSA state competition, and will be traveling to Atlanta in June to take part in the national competition. A member

of the National Technical Honor Society, President of the Sanford SkillsUSA group, and a member of Noble’s National Honor Society, all highlight the honors Oscar has received throughout high school. Oscar has also volunteered many hours supporting Noble’s after school cooking club.

Science teacher and club advisor Elizabeth Laine shared, “It is fair to say that Oscar is more than a TA, and much more like the cooking club sous chef. The students look to Oscar as a mentor, and I look to Oscar as a colleague. Fortunately, in typical super conscientious Oscar fashion, he is hard at work lining up another student to help me out next year.”

Oscar’s senior English teacher, Ingrid Strange, shared what many have experienced in their interactions with him. “I count myself lucky to have him as a student in my English class as he is a deep and analytical thinker. The work that he submits is excellent, which I often use as exemplars. Oscar deserves

recognition and I know he will continue to be successful as he journeys forward in his education and career.”

Next year, Oscar will be attending Southern Maine Community College in their Culinary Arts program. We wish him the best of luck and know that he will continue to make our school and communities incredibly proud.

The Principal’s Award is presented in more than100 Maine public and private high schools by member principals of the MPA, the professional association which represents Maine’s school administrators.

Local Students Receive Recognition

KHS Senior Isaac Kahn Named U.S. Presidential Scholar

KENNEBUNKIsaac Kahn, a senior at Kennebunk High School (KHS), has been named a U.S. Presidential Scholar by the White House Commission on Presidential Scholars. Kahn is one of two Maine students, and 161 nationwide, to be honored with the distinction this year.

“I’m very thankful to everyone in the community who made this possible,” Kahn said.

“It is an amazing honor and a great culmination of my time here at KHS.”

Kahn also recognized KHS math teacher Alexis Ovington as his most influential teacher in helping him rise to this prestigious honor.

Scholars “represent the best of our nation’s schools and inspire hope in the bright future of this country.”

Adds Cardona, “I am delighted to celebrate their accomplishments, and encourage these scholars to continue to aim high, lift up others, and embrace opportunities to lead.” Kahn will receive a personal letter from Secretary Cardona and be recognized with the rest of the 2024 class in an online celebration later this summer.

Following his graduation from KHS, Kahn will attend Cornell University in Ithaca, NY to study engineering. For more information, visit www.rsu21.net. Alvernia University, Reading, PA

OMAA to Host a Weekend of Art in Bloom Author Event at Graves Memorial

OGUNQUIT -

The Ogunquit Museum of American Art (OMAA) will host its annual Art in Bloom event Friday, June 21 through Sunday, June 23. During this three-day event, the museum will showcase over a dozen floral sculptures created by area garden clubs, professional florists, and independent floral designers. Responding to works of art on view, each designer will present an arrangement made from organic matter including seed pods, driftwood, and other natural treasures. Art is Bloom is free with museum admission.

“Art in Bloom is a special community weekend when visitors can experience the connec-

tions between art and nature within our museum walls. Designers use vibrant hues and intricate floral textures to interpret works of art and at the same time create ephemeral works of art. Visitors get to vote on their favorite designs. Overall, the event helps us see familiar art in new ways,” said Amanda Lahikainen, PhD, Director of Ogunquit Museum of American Art.

The exhibitions on view during the event include: Anthony Cudahy: Spinneret; The Sea, Just Like Your Eyes, Became a Refuge: A Joe Wardwell Mural Commission, Networks of Modernism, 1898–1968; and The Architect of a Museum.

The museum will celebrate the event and the floral designers of Art in Bloom at The Garden Party on Sunday afternoon, June 23. There will be drinks and light fare and the visitor’s choice award for best floral display will be announced. The celebration will take place 4-6 p.m. in the museum’s outdoor Sculpture Garden, weather permitting.

Paul Hendrickson is an American author and journalist whose eighth book, “Fighting the Night,” was published earlier this year. “Fighting the Night” is an account of Hendrickson’s father flying Black Widow night fighters on Iwo Jima during the last part of World War II. The book came out on the twenty-first anniversary of Hendrickson’s father’s death.

Opened in 1953, OMAA was founded by artist Henry Strater. The museum shares close historic and geographic ties to one of the earliest modern arts communities in the United States. OMAA houses a permanent collection of paintings, sculpture, drawings, prints, and photographs from the late 1800s to the present. The museum showcases American art by mounting modern and contemporary exhibitions and accompanying educational programming and events.

Mixed Media Exhibit at YAA Introduction to Bridge Lessons at The Center

YORK -

York Art Association

(YAA) presents a mixed media exhibit by YAA members, artists Susan Egerton Griggs, Pamela duLong-Williams, Melinda Campbell, and Laurie Chapman, among others. The show runs through Sunday, June 30.

YAA board member and contributing artist Melinda Campbell said, “Working with mixed media is combining different art media into a piece of art. For instance, it can be collage and oil paints and/or other favorite media such as gel pen, paint sticks and sequins. It allows the artist to think outside the box and push a finished piece in unexpected directions, be hyper-realistic or abstract. It really is freeing for the artist, anything goes.”

Campbell’s three pieces use a variety of media in a style that

allows the viewer to engage in their own interpretation of the work. One piece, “Spring Ice,” is an abstract, acrylic paintenhanced work with sequins on canvas, a captured memory from the recent ice storm of this past April. “English Ivy” is a collaged expression using acrylic paint and actual English ivy collected on a nature walk, highlighted with sequins on canvas. “Bud Vases” is a mix of acrylic paint and oil paint sticks on canvas that depicts daffodil blooms in Japanese bud vases as a harbinger of spring. “It’s a freeing moment to draw with paint sticks onto a painted picture plane capturing a quick impression of spring in the morning light,” said Campbell.

From Henry Wadsworth Longfellow to Stephen King, from Colin Woodard to Richard Blanco, from Monica Wood to Paul Doiron, Maine writers are deeply rooted in their art and craft of writing. The Maine Writers & Publishers Alliance regularly boasts of their growing membership of stellar writers and literary professionals from all sixteen counties of Maine.

Recently, Kennebunkport author Jennifer Comeau, and Denmark, ME, illustrator Suzi Linden, teamed up to create a nature-themed children’s book, “The Inside of ME.” As luck would have it, the duo found 12 Willows Press, a new eco-lit and nature-themed publisher located in Winterport.

Launching on Wednesday, June 12, “The Inside of ME” is a

profound reminder of what happens on the inside when adults and children alike travel outside. Nine special, natural places in Maine are rendered on the pages with descriptions and activities in the back.

New Pine Tree License Plate to Replace Chickadee

suing license plates with the chickadee design. Maine drivers with a chickadee plate will be required to obtain new plates when they renew their registration or obtain a new registration on or after May 1, 2025.

The 2023 legislation authorizing the new plates called for two designs: one with the pine tree and north star, and one plain plate with blue identification number and letter combinations. Mainers will be able to choose from the new pine tree

plate or the plain plate design.

Beginning June 3, 2024, registrants who would like to keep their current chickadee plate numbers may reserve their plate number for a $25 one-time fee. This includes those with vanity, low-digit, and National Guard (PC class code) plates. The BMV will be mailing postcards to registrants with active low digit, vanity, and National Guard plates in June, with information on how to reserve their plates. Registrants also may reserve if they simply like their current plate number.

Class codes that can be reserved are: Antique Auto (AQ), Combination (CM), Commercial (CO), Farm (FM), Motor Home (MH), Passenger Class (PC), Special Equipment (SE), Commercial Tractor (TT). Tractor plates (TR) may only be reserved through the manual application process (MV-62). Non-chickadee plates will not have the option to reserve.

Funding recently passed in the federal budget package will empower the University of Maine System (UMS) to strengthen and expand Maine’s workforce in high-demand fields, including education, nursing, and cybersecurity.

The second round of six bills funding the federal government in Fiscal Year 2024 (FY24) includes $15.7 million in onetime Congressionally Directed Spending (CDS) secured for UMS at the request of Senator Susan Collins (R), Vice Chair-

FINANCE & CAREER

man of the Senate Appropriations Committee, and Senator Angus King (I).

Nearly half of the funding will go toward UMS nursing workforce development to address a statewide nursing shortage projected to reach 2,700 nurses by next year The University of Maine at Augusta (UMA) will receive $4.5 million to renovate and relocate their nursing program to the former Purdue University Global campus in Augusta Marketplace.

Enrollment in UMA nursing has increased from 50 students to 320 over the past five years, and the

new Capital Center will support nearly 400 nursing students when fully built out.

Funding ($3.057 million) will also establish northern New England’s first nursing Ph.D. program at the University of Maine (UMaine). Currently, fewer than 1% of nurses in the state hold a doctoral degree. National accreditation standards require faculty to have a doctoral degree to teach master’s nursing courses and a master’s degree to teach bachelor’s level nursing, limiting enrollment in postsecondary nursing education programs in Maine and the production of new nurses.

UMS has been addressing this issue. The University of Southern Maine (USM) offers a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree, a practice-focused doctorate. The University of Maine at Fort Kent (UMFK) will launch a DNP program this year. A nursing Ph.D., which is more common among faculty, focuses on research. The initial years of UMaine’s program will recruit those with bachelor’s and master’s nursing degrees or a Ph.D. in another field. It will also offer some free tuition for nursing programs at UMaine, UMA, UMFK, and USM, and expand health-related research relevant to Maine.

Another $3.3 million award led by UMaine, now the New England Hub of the Rural Schools Collaborative, will provide ongoing

professional development, mentorship, and support to over 200 rural educators statewide. The project’s goal is to improve resilience, retention, and PK-12 student outcomes in rural schools.

Funding of $463,000 will expand the cybersecurity operations center classroom at the University of Southern Maine’s Gorham campus. The upgraded facility will offer hands-on training to students and professionals, preparing them to handle future cyberattacks. Federal data shows that demand for cybersecurity workers is growing more than twice as fast as other jobs.

UMS is the largest producer of Maine’s skilled workforce, having awarded 106,362 degrees since 2003, led by nursing/healthcare professions, business, engineering, and education. All CDS projects align with Maine’s 10-year economic strategy and UMS’s strategic plan, advancing goals related to workforce responsiveness, doctoral education, and innovation.

Senators Collins and King also secured funding for UMS through the Small Business Administration. A $2.4 million award led by UMaine will support entrepreneurial and workforce development, small business incubation, and industry collaboration by establishing a research and innovation corridor at the Maine Center in Portland. This initiative will enhance access to UMaine resources

in southern Maine and foster business and industry partnerships with UMS institutions.

A $2 million award will enable the UMaine Aquaculture Research Institute to create a pilot-scale kelp nursery and aquaculture demonstration farm at the Darling Marine Center in Walpole. Researchers and industry partners will develop seeding and harvesting methods to increase the yield and value of Maine kelp. They will also pioneer practices to build resiliency in kelp and shellfish aquaculture amid changing climates and markets.

“The University of Maine, as the state’s flagship and public research university, is committed to partnering across the University of Maine System to transform Maine’s innovation workforce and build economic opportunities for Maine,” said UMS Vice Chancellor for Research and Innovation and UMaine President Joan Ferrini-Mundy. “The successful leadership of Senator Collins, along with that of Senator King and Representatives Pingree and Golden, in securing these investments in critical areas will have a lasting impact on our state. We are very grateful and eager to advance all of these initiatives.”

KENNEBUNK -

Seven teachers from RSU 21, along with one teacher from the New School in Kennebunk, are currently enrolled in a training program through the Portland Children’s Dyslexia Center that, upon completion, will empower them to provide quality learning experiences for their students who show characteristics of dyslexia.

Health & Fitness

The training is free for all participants, thanks to a donation from the Arundel Masonic Lodge #76. RSU 21 covered the cost of books and other learning materials for the participants.

SEACOAST -

“I am beyond thankful to the Masons for their generosity in investing in this outstanding professional development opportunity for our dedicated educators,” said Rachel Bratter, Director of Special Services at RSU 21. “This rigorous and meaningful training will empower our teachers to provide individualized, targeted programming that directly addresses the unique needs of each student they serve. I’m in awe of their commitment to lifelong learning and serving the whole child.”

certified, which uses a highly structured approach that breaks reading and spelling down into smaller skills involving letters and sounds, then builds those skills over time.

“Fill the Hall,” an annual summer food drive run by anti-hunger nonprofit Gather, is celebrating its 10th anniversary on Saturday June 22, 9 a.m. - 2 p.m. at The Music Hall in Portsmouth. NH.

The teachers undergoing training will earn graduate credits to become Orton-Gillingham

Arundel Lodge Treasurer Jonathan Rosen said it was important for his group to invest in a cause that would lead to measurable benefits for the community. “It is one thing to write a check, but it’s another thing to actually move the ball,” he said, adding, “This is a program that has demonstrated success, and we are excited to partner with RSU 21 and the Portland Children’s Dyslexia Center in this effort.”

and events for Pride celebration, also happening that same Saturday. The Pride March starts at 1 p.m. on Pleasant Street.

Each participant must complete 16 classes to become certified. Participants must also complete a practicum that includes supervised and guided practice with students who show characteristics of dyslexia. The expected completion date is December 2024.

“We’re putting the call out to the Seacoast community to help us make this the most successful food drive in our history!” says Gather Executive Director Anne Hayes.

The food drive was inspired by an effort that dates back 30 years to when community activist Denise Wheeler and former Gather board member Scott McKee began volunteering to raise money and awareness about childhood hunger relief with national group, Share Our Strength. Ten years ago, in a conversation about their efforts, a friend mentioned a Vermont town that filled up their local theater with food donations. That sparked the idea, and Wheeler and McKee approached Gather and Monte Bohanan, former marketing director at The Music Hall, who both immediately signed on. The first “Fill the Hall” was a resounding success and it has expanded every year since.

The Music Hall’s Executive Director, Tina Sawtelle, urges everyone who can to participate, noting, “This collaboration is an excellent example of how we can help improve the lives of struggling families by making it easy for our neighbors to pitch in.” Fill the Hall benefits Gather’s “Meals 4 Kids” program, which operates during school vacations when children do not have access to free school meals. Gather’s goal is to bridge these gaps and ensure that children have consistent access to nutritious food through the summer months. This year, Seacoast Outright joins the Gather-Music Hall collaboration with its advocacy

As the event has grown, Wheeler notes, “With volunteers and donors returning year after year, ‘Fill the Hall’ has taken on a fun, spirited, community feel. It’s a special day I look forward to every year because filling the hall fills my heart. It’s a joy watching the city at its best - everyone coming together ... to help the people at Gather continue the noble and important work of bringing free mobile markets to the neighborhoods around the Seacoast that need them most. There’s a lot of new, creative energy from both The Music Hall and Gather staffs that will give Fill the Hall #10 a festive jolt. We are also partnering with Seacoast Outright, which hosts its Pride celebration on the same day, to make this the weekend Portsmouth shows its love.”

Scott McKee says he is proud of Portsmouth residents’

track record of support for the event, “For ten consecutive years, The Music Hall has collaborated with Gather to encourage the good people of the Greater Seacoast to fill every seat in the Hall with nutritious food or monetary donations for those struggling with food insecurity. We need look no further than our own local communities to be reminded that kindness, compassion, and love are the hallmarks of the human condition for the vast majority of people.”

Donations can be dropped off at the Music Hall, located at 28 Chestnut Street in Portsmouth, NH on June 22 from 9 a.m. - 2 p.m. In addition, area restaurants are participating in a contest to see who can collect the most donations. Over 30 area restaurants are participat-

L. Day School, the Sea Road School, the Middle School of the Kennebunks, and Kennebunk High School.

The Dirigo Experience brings Maine’s deaf and hard-ofhearing youth together at Pine Tree Camp for unique social opportunities year-round. Most deaf youth have never had the chance to meet another deaf person their own age. The Dirigo Experience breaks that cycle by providing students the chance to make new friends and develop a greater sense of self-esteem with their peers. The camp was established by Pine Tree Society’s Director of Interpreting Services
