Critical Land and Habitat Protected in Kittery

Kittery -

The Kittery Land Trust (KLT) is pleased to announce it has conserved an additional 7.8 acres within the community. The additional property acquisition

includes tidal sections of Spruce Creek, adjacent salt marshes, wetlands, and a small upland forest. These diverse habitats support various wildlife, including hawks, wading birds, and waterfowl. Protecting salt marshes is essential for addressing climate change, as they provide natural flood resilience amid rising sea levels.

“Kittery’s climate action plan emphasizes the importance of preserving marshes to allow for their migration, which plays a vital role in building coastal flood resilience,” stated Judy Spiller, Chair of the Kittery Town Council. “The Kittery Land Trust’s acquisition of the Major property near the upper reaches of Spruce Creek fits perfectly within that goal.”

The land was safeguarded in collaboration with property owner Kim Major, and it is located west of the Picott Road bridge over Spruce Creek.

MaryAlice LaPoint, Vice Chair of the Conservation Commission, commended the project, saying, “The protection of large tracts of land like the Major property is essential to our ongoing efforts to preserve open space in Kittery. This property captures many of the elements that make Kittery special, including salt marshes, wetlands, and forests.

The Kittery Conservation Commission applauds the continued success of KLT in securing vital land resources.”

Funding for this land acquisition was made possible through support from the Maine Natural Resources Conservation Program

and the Town of Kittery, both of which contributed financially to the project.

“KLT is grateful for the support of the Maine Natural Resources Conservation Program and the Kittery Town Council in preserving this scenic and environmentally crucial property,” stated Jeff Clifford, Chair of the KLT Acquisitions Committee. “By conserving nearly eight acres of salt marsh, fields, and woodlands along Spruce Creek, we ensure that these salt marshes can migrate naturally as sea levels rise.”

The Kittery Land Trust has been working to protect special places in the community since its founding in 1987, and has conserved and cared for more than 1,000 acres. By engaging in collaborative projects like the latest acquisition, the land trust continues to advance its mission of “working creatively with landowners, citizens, the Town of Kittery, schools, and neighboring conservation organizations to conserve, steward, and enjoy the natural areas that enhance Kittery’s quality of life, now and into the future.”

Surprise is a beautiful, allblack kitty who looks like a miniature panther. His sleek, shiny black body, amazing agility, and striking face are complemented by glowing yellow eyes.

The poor guy was left behind in an abandoned house, no one in sight. And yet, there he was, this beautiful black ghost cat. The people who found him were taken by surprise, thus his name.

When Surprise first arrived at Safe Haven, he was understandably sad and depressed. The volunteers sensed his deep love for his family and knew he found solace in having a place

Emma’s Angels has some sweet Southern kittens this week!

Meet Bennie! Bennie is a three-month-old boy who has come to Emma’s Angels with his two other brothers. Bennie is neutered and up to date on his kitten shots. He is a sweet and happy kitten.

All three boys are black, or black and white. If you would like to meet Bennie and friends, call Emma’s Angels today!

Emma’s Angels Rescue is an all-volunteer organization in North Berwick. The organization rescues dogs and cats from high kill facilities down south, and takes in local owner surrenders. They also help several people to feed their pets throughout the community.

Donations are always greatly appreciated, and can be left in the drop box, located at 30 Meeting House Road in North Berwick. Emma’s Angels is thankful for the community’s continued support!

where he belonged. Abandoned and left behind, Surprise was confused, lonely, afraid, and emotionally lost.

Surprise completed his mandatory two weeks in quarantine and was deemed healthy, ready to join one of the sunny, cage-free kitty rooms. In his new environment, all the cats roamed freely and greeted him warmly, but initially, he was cautious and unsure. After all, he had been hurt emotionally from being abandoned, so Surprise lost some confidence. Meeting so many cats at once probably became a little overwhelming for him. Fortunately, the other cats were friendly, so Surprise never felt threatened by any of them. His roommates quickly helped him feel safe in the new space, giving him another place where he felt he belonged.

In a way, the new cats and Safe Haven’s volunteers became Surprise’s new family, showering him with much-needed love. The lonely kitty quickly began to feel happier and more confident.

Now is the time for someone to give back to Surprise what life circumstances first took away from him: a loving home where he will be understood. Surprise is a handsome kitty who was scared and hurt from being abandoned. He will need some time to readjust and feel safe again. Of course, the best medicine for that is patience, lots of love and an orderly, predictable routine. No more chaos.

Surprise would be happiest and feel safest in a home without young children, and would likely thrive sharing a home and life with another friendly cat. He is

Hi everyone! My name is Duke and it is such a pleasure to meet you! Some of the volunteers here at AWS call me “The Duke of Fun,” because I love to have a good time and let loose! I am currently up for adoption here at AWS and looking for my new family.

I might be considered a Duke, but I am no royalty. I am very easy going, laid back, and I go with the flow. I would be absolutely honored to be a part of any family. Nothing would make me happier than to be The Duke of Fun and Family!

What I like: 1. Toys! Plush toys, squeaky toys, chew toys, you name it! 2. People. I love being around people and am very social! I have never met a stranger. 3. Walks. Exercise is my middle name and I love to get outside for a good walk. I also usually walk with a toy in my mouth for the entire stroll! 4. Cookies. Who can resist a tasty treat? I will always sit for cookies and may even drop my toy for one! 5. Naps. I could sleep

a wonderful kitty who deserves a loving home.

Safe Haven is open weekdays 11 a.m. - 1:30 p.m., weekends by appointment. The shop is open 11a.m. -4 p.m., seven days a week. Donations are welcome Saturdays from 12-3 p.m. Currently accepting lovely, attractive, stylish, functional furnishings, décor, clothing, linens, and anything vintage and fun.

Students who need to fulfill community service hours are encouraged to fill out an application to volunteer to help at Safe Haven. The shelter especially needs help on Saturdays, 12-3 p.m., to carry heavy donations. Many hands make light work!

in the sun all day if they let me. 6. Belly rubs. That should go without saying! 7. Having fun. I know this one seems a bit obvious, but after all, I am The Duke of Fun! Whether a car ride, a trip to the beach, a hike, a walk, or even just sitting down for a movie marathon, I am there! 8. Family. I want nothing more than to be a part of a family. I will make a such a loving and loyal member (as your only dog, if that is okay). As a bonus, I am cute as a button!

What I do not like: I do not like not having a home and a family to call my own. I must admit, even though the volunteers here at AWS take great care of me, at times I still get little sad. Of course, they give me tons of belly rubs, treats, and walks, but at night when the lights are out, my kennel can feel lonely. I feel it in my heart how different life at AWS is from being a part of a loving home. So please, help me out of my funk by adopting, or even fostering me! I would be so happy

So, what do you think? Do I sound like the dog for you? I will be a loyal and loving companion, and you will wonder how you got along without me all these years! Call my friends here at AWS today or, better yet, stop by and visit me! Ask for “The Duke of Fun!”

Should Carbs Be Avoided at Night?

STATEWIDE -

Many people are familiar with the notion that avoiding carbs at night can ensure they are not ultimately stored as fat. But is that perception the truth, a halftruth, or a complete fabrication? As popular as the “no carbs at night” approach may be, it may not entirely accurate. In fact, the Institute of Nutrition and Fitness Sciences (INFS) notes that consuming carbohydrates at night can help to improve sleep by corralling the hormone cortisol, which the body produces in response to stress. If that hormone is not controlled at night, individuals may experience difficulty falling asleep. This is potentially harmful, especially for those who are hoping to lose weight through exercise, as a good night’s rest ensures the body has ample time to repair itself and recover, reducing vulnerability

Fourth of July Party

How to Host a Safe and

STATEWIDE -

Across the nation, Americans are gearing up to celebrate Independence Day with Fourth of July parties, bringing friends, family, and loved ones together to commemorate America’s hard-fought independence. For hosts planning celebrations this year, the following tips will help ensure everyone enjoys a safe and happy Fourth of July.

Utilize multiple grills for efficient cooking. One common challenge of hosting a Fourth of July barbecue is managing the grill. To streamline the cooking process and minimize wait times, hosts can consider borrowing an extra on from a neighbor, or using multiple grills. By having more than one cooking surface, the party grill master can separate fast-cooking items like hamburgers and hot dogs

to injuries that can compromise their efforts to get healthier.

Moreover, carbohydrates serve as energy sources that help the body to build muscle and burn fat. Avoiding carbs entirely could make it hard for individuals to achieve their health and fitness goals, according to INFS. According to one expert from the INFS, “Consuming carbohydrates at night can help to improve sleep by corralling the hormone cortisol, which the body produces in response to stress.”

Not all carbs are created equal. Complex carbohydrates, such as whole grains (like quinoa and brown rice) and vegetables (like sweet potatoes and broccoli), provide sustained energy and are rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. These carbs are beneficial at night because they digest more slowly, helping to

Tips:

Fun Celebration

from slower-cooking foods such as sausages and chicken. This not only ensures everything is cooked to perfection but also allows the chef to spend more time enjoying the party, rather than tending to the grill.

Preserve flavor by minimizing food checks. It can be tempting to continuously monitor food while grilling, but frequent flipping and poking can compromise flavor and result in dry meats. Instead, hosts can trust their cooking times and resist the urge to over-handle the food. This allows natural flavors to develop, keeping grilled items juicy and delicious. Consider marinating meats overnight or using dry rubs to enhance flavor before grilling. For vegetables, toss them in olive oil, garlic, and herbs for added taste. Maintaining a consistent grilling temperature and avoiding excessive movement of the food ensures each item retains its natural juices and develops a delicious charred exterior, thereby enhancing the overall dining experience for guests.

Manage insects with strategic baiting. Insects can be unwelcome guests at any outdoor gathering. To keep bees, wasps, and other pests away from the party area, hosts can strategi-

stabilize blood sugar levels and promote feelings of fullness.

Practical Tips for Balancing Carbohydrate Intake at Night

To optimize carbohydrate intake at night:

Focus on Whole Foods. Choose whole grains, legumes, and vegetables over processed carbs like white bread or sugary snacks.

Control Portions. Pay attention to portion sizes to avoid overloading on carbs. A balanced meal should include a moderate amount of carbs, paired with protein and healthy fats.

Time Meals Appropriately. Aim to eat larger meals earlier in the evening to give your body more time to digest before bedtime.

Consider Dietary Goals. Athletes may benefit from a slightly higher carb intake at night to replenish glycogen stores, while those managing weight might focus on smaller portions or lighter options.

Carbs perform a host of important functions in the body and play a vital role in helping people achieve their fitness goals. Though carbs need not be avoided at night, individuals should practice moderation and choose wisely to ensure they contribute positively to overall health and well-being without compromising weight management efforts.

cally place a saucer with sweet soda and some chicken scraps in a corner of their yard away from guests. This bait will attract insects, diverting their attention from guests and their meals, ensuring a more comfortable experience for everyone. Ensure water safety with a lifeguard or designated observer. If the celebration includes a pool or beach outing, organizers should prioritize safety by either hiring a certified lifeguard or assigning a responsible adult to monitor water activities. Older kids can also be paired with younger “buddies” to ensure everyone can safely enjoy their time in the water. Amidst the distractions of a party, having a dedicated observer ensures swimmers’ safety and helps prevent accidents. This precaution is crucial for maintaining a fun and worry-free environment for all guests, especially children.

Notify neighbors in advance to maintain peace. While Fourth of July parties are always anticipated in any neighborhood, it is a nice courtesy to inform neighbors about upcoming party plans, including the start and end times of the celebration. This not only shows consideration, but also allows neighbors to prepare accordingly. Better yet, invite the

neighbors over to join in the fun! Opt for safe alternatives to personal fireworks. Fireworks are a staple of Fourth of July celebrations, but they can pose significant safety risks when used improperly. To avoid accidents and potential injuries, families can consider attending public fireworks displays hosted by professionals rather than using personal fireworks at home. This ensures everyone can enjoy the spectacle safely, without the haz-

~ Obituaries ~

Anthony Vito Cilluffo, 78

WELLS – Anthony Vito Cilluffo passed peacefully at his home in Wells on June 9, 2024. His last few days were joyful ones spent with all of his grandchildren. He was 78 years old.

Born in Sicily, Tony immigrated to Brooklyn at eight years old. He attended Catholic school, learned English, played stickball in the streets, and sang in a doo-woo group with his older brother Frank.

Tony attended Brooklyn Tech, then joined the U.S. Army at 17, serving as a medical corpsman in France. He later began a career on Wall Street and traded with Cilluffo Associates, even after moving his family to Maine.

Tony met his wife, Beth, in 1979, and they had three daughters. For almost a decade, Anthony adored coaching his daughters along with countless others in Little League softball. He successfully organized a grassroots “No Tanks” campaign in opposition to a proposed liquefied natural gas (LNG) tank in Wells. He served multiple terms on the Wells Board of Selectmen, including as Chairman. He worked to bring an Amtrak stop to Wells, and sat on the Board at York Hospital.

In his retirement, Anthony (“Nonno” to his grandkids) cherished time with family. He is survived by his community, loving friends, and his family.

In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to the Wells Founders Park Community Center.

Arrangements are entrusted to Johnson Funeral Home, North Berwick. A full obituary is available and condolences may be expressed at www.johnsonfuneralhomeme.com.

Catherine “Kitty” Davis, 102

NORTH BERWICK – Catherine “Kitty” Davis passed away peacefully on Monday, June 11, 2024 at Pinnacle North Berwick. She had just celebrated her 102nd birthday. Born on June 2, 1922 in Dover, NH, Kitty made the seacoast area her home.

Throughout her life, Kitty faced many trials and tribulations, but she always continued to persevere. She took on a position as a welder for the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard during war time. She met her loving husband, Richard Davis, and they went on to have two sons.

Kitty thrived as a stay-athome mom for many years before using her love for reading to start a new role as a librarian at the South Berwick public library. She retired from there after 11 years of service.

A woman of great faith, Kitty was also a dedicated member of the First Parish Federated Church in South Berwick, and she adored her time as a Soprano in the choir.

Later in life, Kitty never let the years slow her down. She was named Miss Senior Maine at the age of 78, representing the state in Reno, NV in 2000. She was an exercise program teacher at South Berwick Senior Center well into her eighties. She eventually became the recipient of the Boston Cane, an award given to the Oldest Person in North Berwick. Kitty truly saw age as only a number, and stayed young for as long as she could.

Along with her loving husband, Kitty is preceded in death by her sons, Blaine Davis and Richard “Ricky” C. Davis.

Surviving are her granddaughter Taneka Davis; and God children, Bryan Johnson and Bethany Duca-Johnson.

Kitty will be memorialized at 10:30 a.m. on Monday, July 1, at First Parish Federated Church, 150 Main Street, South Berwick. Her urn will be placed at Woodlawn Cemetery following the service.

McIntire-McCooey Funeral Home has been entrusted with her care. To leave an online condolence for the family, visit www. taskerfuneralservice.com.

Carolyn E. Hanscom, 97

BERWICK – Car olyn E. Hanscom passed away peacefully at her home, after a few months of declining health, on Saturday, June 22, 2024, with her loving family by her side.

An hour of visitation was held on Wednesday, June 26, 10-11 a.m. at the Bibber Memorial Chapel, 62 Cemetery Road, Berwick. A funeral service followed at 11 a.m. Interment will be at Evergreen Cemetery in Berwick, where Carolyn will be reunited with her husband and daughter.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Carolyn’s memory to the charity of one’s choice. Having been blessed with a comfortable life, she believed in helping others in need, especially children and veterans.

Arrangements are in care of Bibber Memorial Chapel, 62 Cemetery Road, Berwick. To read her full obituary and share a message of condolence, visit Carolyn’s Book of Memories Page at www.bibberfuneral.com.

Katherine G. Moulton, 92

YORK – Katherine G. Moulton passed away peacefully at Gosnell Memorial Hospice House on June 20, 2024, after a brief illness.

Born on February 23, 1932, the daughter of Elmer and Eva Gerry, Katherine grew up in the Brixham area of York. She was a member of the largest class in the Brixham School – there were four! Katherine graduated Valedictorian of York High School, class of 1950. A year later, she

married her h igh school sweetheart, Robert Moulton.

In 1960, with their own hands and the kindness of friends and family, the Moultons built their split-level house, which Katherine would tell anyone is a decision one makes not realizing they’re going to get old. Over the years, they made it a home, filling it with not only their own four children, but also providing a second home for many who would always find a welcoming smile and a good meal.

Kate was a gifted artist (although too modest to say so), a great cook, and even with her diminished eyesight, a crack shot. From childhood, her happiest times were spent in the out-ofdoors, hunting, fishing and enjoying the wonders of creation. And more recently, Kate enjoyed her morning cup of coffee with son-in-law Billy, while watching “Leave it to Beaver,” and discussing their plans for the day.

Kate was known by all for her sharp mind, dry wit, immutable honesty and her ability to speak the truth in love. The depth of her character was built by life’s sorrows, joys and immovable faith that was her constant guide. She did not wear the Jesus T-shirt, but she sure wore the shoes!

Although often frustrated by the limitations of an aging body, Kate remained fully engaged in living. The knees got creaky, and the eyes got dim, but she was still the brightest bulb in our box.

Katherine’s life was always about putting others first. Even in her final days, she would pray for others and encourage all those around her. It is completely impossible to measure the value of this one simple life.

She was predeceased by her husband Robert V. Moulton; sons, Gary V. Moulton and Timothy A. Moulton; grandson Dustin W. Mracek; and daughter in-law Gail A. Moulton.

She is survived by her daughter Wendy and her husband William Mracek; daughter Roxine Myshrall; grandchildren, Heather Bice, Ryan Moulton, Amber Kerly, Holly Mracek, Brianna Woodruff, Courtnay Moulton, Timothy Myshrall, and Abby Myshrall; great-grandchildren, Hunter and Jillian Bice, Wyatt and Garrett Kerly, Gavin, Abbey and Luke Woodruff, Katherine and Samantha Moulton, Finnley Greene, and Logan Myshrall; and many nieces, nephews, extended family, and friends.

The family would like to express their utmost gratitude to the staff at York Hospital, Maine Medical Center, and Gosnell Memorial Hospice House, who provided such amazing care and kindness to Kate and our family.

A small service will be held with family and friends in July. Please contact a family member for details. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Hospice of Southern Maine, 390 Route One, Scarborough, ME 04074. For online condolences, visit www. lucaseatonfuneralhome.com.

July Exhibit, “Reimaging Reality”

KENNEBUNK -

The Speers Gallery at the Kennebunk Free Library (KFL) presents the exhibit “Reimaging Reality,” by local artist Helen Olson. The exhibit runs through Wednesday, July 31, and features Olson’s abstract paintings done with acrylics.

Said Olson, “My intention is to challenge the viewers to delve deeper into their own perception of the world and the unfamiliar. Through the lens of abstractions, I want to open the viewers’ eyes to the possibility of alternative realities and spark a sense of curiosity and introspection.”

In addition to painting, Helen loves to cook. “A sense of joy fuels my creative process whether I’m mixing paint or whipping up a new recipe,” said the artist, adding, “For me, inspiration often simmers in a pot on the stove or explodes in a burst of color on my palette. Like cooking, my paintings are a delicious blend of passion, experimentation, and a healthy dash

of intuition … come explore my world of vibrant colors and unexpected textures, where every brushstroke in a splash or flavor, and each composition a carefully crafted dish for the soul.”

The public is invited to view the exhibit in the library’s Speers Gallery, running through July 31. The gallery is open during regular library hours.

KFL is located at 112 Main Street in Kennebunk. For more information, visit www.kennebunklibrary.org.

“Consider the Lobster” at Wells Reserve

The Wells Reserve at Laudholm is thrilled to announce the opening of its summer art and science exhibition, “Consider the Lobster: A Decapod Odyssey in Art,” on display now through November 4, in the reserve’s Coastal Ecology Center gallery. This thought-provoking exhibition, free with general admission, welcomes visitors to delve into the intricate and multifaceted world of the lobster, as depicted through a curated array of eclectic painting, photography, and mixed media works by local artists. Viewers may also find an overt homage to the late author David Foster Wallace, in whose honor the exhibit was developed.

“Consider the Lobster” showcases pieces that delve into the lifecycle and essence of the crustacean, highlighting its distinctive role in both marine ecology and Maine’s coastal community. Featuring works by Amy Kelly, Sue Rioux, Peter Sheppard, Wade Zahares, and

more, the exhibition explores lobsters from egg to plate, emphasizing their integral place in Maine’s brand and culture.

“We are excited to present this unique show that not only celebrates the artistic representation of lobsters but also invites contemplation about our relationship with nature and the roles we assign to the creatures within it,” said Nik Charov, president of Laudholm Trust, the nonprofit partner of the Wells Reserve. “We hope that visitors find a greater appreciation for both the humble lobster and the broader questions this charismatic species raises about our own lives.”

The public entrance to the Wells Reserve at Laudholm is located at 55 Skinner Mill Road in Wells. The exhibition will be

open daily, 10 a.m. - 4 p.m., with special events and guided tours available throughout the duration of the exhibition. For more information, visit www.wellsreserve.org.

Cape Elizabeth Author Publishes Children’s Book

STATEWIDE -

Maine author Anthony Irace is celebrating the release of his latest children’s book, “Miriam’s Gift.” The story follows Miriam, a little shepherd girl and the youngest child in her family, who eagerly tries to assist with the family duties, but does not always achieve the intended results.

One day, an event occurs that leads Miriam to discover her special gift, ultimately enabling

the child to help a young family in need. The story is a reminder that no matter how young, poor, or seemingly insignificant a person may seem, everyone has the potential to contribute, and sometimes the most extraordinary gifts come from the most unexpected or unlikely sources.

Anthony Irace was born and raised in Portland, and now lives in Cape Elizabeth. He attended the University of Maine, Western New England University School of Law, and practiced as an attorney in Portland before retiring in 2015. Irace is married with two grown children, is on the board of two local non-profits, and is a ukulele enthusiast. He was inspired to write the story of Miriam after seeing illustrations of a young girl gazing at a wondrous star, done by his wife’s friend, Susan Camp Hilton.

“Miriam’s Gift” is a 34page hardback with a retail price of $24.00 (eBook $19.00). It was published by RoseDog Books of Pittsburgh, PA, and is currently available for purchase online. For more information, visit www.rosedogbookstore. com/miriams-gift.

AGK Welcomes Four New Members

KENNEBUNK -

The Art Guild of the Kennebunks (AGK) has completed its 2024 search for new members, bringing four new artists into the organization, according to Guild President Linda Van Tassell. New members include watercolorists Margaret Merrill, Debra Hamelart and Mary Elizabeth Grady, and watercolor/pastel artist Wendy Gallart.

Margaret Merrill describes herself as “primarily a self-taught

artist” who has been painting since childhood. Her work reflects a fascination with the movement of light and air to define and create a unique character in her studies.

Concealing a heart in each of her paintings to make personal the communication between artist and viewer, Debra Hamelart uses the interaction between “swirling color” and the paper on which it appears as a kind of dance, the steps of which estab-

lish a sense of “peace and harmony” in her work.

Mary Elizabeth Grady has lived across much of North American and a few parts beyond, and she notes that the natural features of these places have had a profound influence on her work – trees, in particular, which according to one observer, give the landscape a look of “long and somber patience.”

Wendy Gallart has been a lifelong lover of art in all its

Award Recipients in Writing Contest Recognized

WELLS

-

Recently, the Wells-Ogunquit Community School District (WOCSD) presented its 38th Annual Literary Achievement Awards Ceremony. At the event, 68 students who placed in the writing competition were recognized on stage in the Olenn Auditorium at Wells High School. This year’s top prize of $500 went to senior Nathan Muchemore for his fictional story, “Out of the Shadows.”

Contest co-chair Pamela Lear introduced guest speaker Darcy Ramsdell, who spoke of her father, David Page, who first envisioned the contest almost four decades ago. Mr. Page, then president of Ocean National Bank in Wells, presented his idea to the District’s superintendent and business manager at that time, who then made it possible for Page’s idea to become a reality in 1986. Accompanying Ramsdell was her mother, Barbara Page, a former teacher at Wells Elementary School.

Following Ramsdell’s comments, contest co-chair Alison Clark invited those who placed in this year’s contest to the podium area one grade level at a time, so that first-place winners could read aloud a portion of their writing and each receive a certificate and prize.

Those who received the honor of first place in their respective grade categories were: Avery Martin (Kindergarten), Quinn Avery (Gr. 1), Grady Rounds (Gr. 2), Finley Reed (Gr. 3), Aurora Krauss (Gr. 4), Sicily DiNardi (Gr. 5), Caleb Hinkel (Gr. 6), Scarlett Lantz (Gr. 7), Katelyn Chase (Gr. 8), Annora Ferris (Gr. 9), Christopher Buckley (Gr. 10), Pieper Morris (Gr. 11), and Nathan Muchemore (Gr. 12). All entries were judged anonymously at two levels by both District staff and community members.

This year, the contest was sponsored by the Wells-Ogunquit CSD, the Rotary Club of

Wells, and the Rotary Club of Ogunquit. The top winner at each grade level, except grade 12, received $100. Second-place winners received $50, thirdplace winners received $25, and honorable mentions received fifteen dollar gift certificates to Las Olas Taqueria in Wells. Rotarians

forms, blossoming as an artist in her own right after a wellestablished career in marketing and advertising. Through a wellcontrolled use of light and color, Gallart creates a luminescent in her land- and sea-scapes which draws the eye beyond the surface of the work, well into the intended depth of the artistic vi-sion.

“The induction of these artists represents a significant addition to the range of talent and experience in the guild and, consequently, to the variety of artistic experience available to the viewing public,” said Linda Van Tassell. She adds, “We are looking forward to presenting their work and that of our veteran members publicly in the upcoming season.”

According to The Boat U.S. Foundation, the Fourth of July holiday period is the busiest time of the year for America’s recreational boat owners. This period typically includes the days before and after the official holiday and often represents the longest time many boaters will spend on the water. With fireworks shows, fishing spots, and raft-ups to enjoy, boaters need to be prepared.

The Boat U.S. Foundation for Boating Safety and Clean Water offers four tips to help boaters celebrate America’s birthday safely at anchor: Be Anchor Smart

Before heading out, ensure anchoring gear is in good condition. Check if the bitter end (the final part of the anchor rope fixed to the ship’s deck) is secure. Some boaters may not have used their anchoring gear yet this season, so double-check everything, including any picnic hooks, extra fenders for a raft-up, or a shoreside tie-up requiring a second line. When arriving at the spot and setting anchor, let out enough scope for the depth and predicted

weather conditions. Show courtesy if the area gets crowded, and avoid creating wakes or being unaware of others around.

Avoid CO Poisoning

Generators and outboard motors provide creature comforts and excitement to the ride, but do not run them if there are swimmers near the back of the boat, where exhaust ports are often located. These ports can emit dangerous, odorless carbon monoxide, which can be harmful or even fatal.

Do Not Stress It

A long day on the water can be tiring. Be mindful of stressors like noise, vibration, sun, wind, waves, and motion. The U.S. Coast Guard notes that four hours of exposure to these elements can cause “boater’s hypnosis,” which slows reaction time similarly to being legally drunk. Adding alcohol only exacerbates this effect.

Also, avoid draining the boat’s battery by playing music all day. TowBoatUS reports a surge in battery jump service calls right after firework shows when boaters try to head home.

is early in the season, so watch for Katey Stone’s Team #1 and Peggy Todd’s Team #3 to even up the score.

The results of the league June 17 matches are as follows:

First Place: Suzy Jones’ Team 4 with 5 1/2 wins for 20 1/2 total points; Second Place: Sandy Petrovich’s Team 6 with 6 wins for 19 total points; Third Place: Leah Evan’s Team 5 with 5

Get Home Safely

Before departing f rom an anchorage, make sure everyone is back on board and the ladder is up before turning on the engine. If leaving a fireworks show, proceed with caution. It’s often better to wait a few minutes for the crowd to clear and wakes to subside before heading out. Be patient and courteous, and ensure everyone on board is acting as a lookout. Never take shortcuts home after dark.

KITTERY -

The Town of Kittery has relocated its kayak and paddleboard storage racks from the Traip Academy Boat Launch to Fort Foster Park, now accessible at the Windsurfer’s Beach area. The racks provide 18 permitted spaces for equipment storage.

A $20 application fee is required to complete the Kayak and Paddleboard Storage Rack Application and join the waitlist. This fee will be applied towards the annual cost of the Kayak & Paddleboard Storage Permit once reviewed and assigned. After submitting the permit application, each request will undergo review and placement on the Kayak & Paddleboard Storage Permit Waitlist by the Harbormaster. Upon availability, the Harbormaster will assign a permit number, prompting applicants to pay the annual permit fee. Once paid, applicants will receive a Kittery Launch Sticker to affix to their equipment, enabling them to proceed.

NATIONWIDE -

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has announced the launch of the $3 billion Clean Ports Program to fund zero-emission port equipment and infrastructure to tackle the climate crisis and improve air quality at U.S. ports, as part of President Biden’s Investing in America agenda. The funding opportunities were created under the Inflation Reduction Act and aim to advance environmental justice by reducing diesel pollution from U.S. ports in surrounding communities, while also creating good-paying jobs.

Health & Fitness

National Climate Advisor Ali Zaidi. “There’s an incredible array of new technologies that can make ports cleaner and greener, all while creating goodpaying jobs and strengthening American supply chains. The Clean Ports Program is demonstrating how these technologies can work together to deliver clean air for our children, cut down on harmful climate pollution, and achieve fully zero-emission operations. That’s a gamechanger for port communities, for workers, and for America’s economy.”

EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan made this announcement recently at an event in Wilmington, NC alongside Governor Roy Cooper.

“Our nation’s ports are among the busiest in the world, helping us to create good jobs here in America, move goods, and grow our economy,” said Regan. “Today’s historic funding announcement reflects President Biden’s vision of growing our economy while ensuring America leads in creating globally competitive solutions of the future. Today we’re making $3 billion available to install cleaner and more efficient technologies while cutting air pollution to protect the people who work at and live near ports.”

“Our country’s ports feed our supply chains to put food on our tables, keep our businesses running and provide for our everyday needs,” said Governor Cooper. “We are deeply grateful ... for the investments that have helped fix our supply chain, rebuild our infrastructure and create thousands of good paying clean energy jobs.”

“... every person deserves clean air, clean water, and a healthy environment. Communities near our nation’s ports are disproportionately impacted by air pollution and other environmental hazards, and this funding will help reduce emissions while creating good-paying jobs as we transition to a clean energy future,” said White House Council on Environmental Quality Chair Brenda Mallory. “Today’s announcement will help ensure families who live, work, and play near our ports have cleaner air to breathe and a healthier environment as we work to advance the President’s ambitious environmental justice agenda.”

The Clean Ports Program will advance the Administration’s commitment to environmental justice and the Justice40 Initiative, which aims for 40% of the benefits from federal investments in climate, clean energy, and other areas to reach disadvantaged communities marginalized by underinvestment and burdened by pollution. In addition to these efforts, EPA strived to ensure that near-port community engagement and equity considerations are at the forefront of the program’s design.

The Clean Ports Program aims to facilitate nationwide transition to zero-emissions operations at ports, driving transformative change in the freight sector. The EPA is launching two Notice of Funding Opportunities (NOFOs) as part of a $3 billion package. The $2.8 billion ZeroEmission Technology Deployment Competition will fund zero-emission port equipment and infrastructure, including cargo handling equipment, harbor craft, electric charging, hydrogen fueling infrastructure, and other technologies. Applications will be evaluated across multiple tiers to ensure equitable distribution among ports of varying sizes, including those serving Tribal communities.

“For decades, ports have been hubs of pollution – but ... we are turning them into hubs of American innovation,” said Assistant to the President and

advanced clean technologies to enhance the safe and efficient movement of goods and passengers, crucial for America’s supply chain infrastructure.

The funding is available to port authorities, state, regional, local, or Tribal agencies with jurisdiction over a port, air pollution control agencies, and private entities in partnership with an eligible entity mentioned above. Eligible entities include those that own, operate, or use facilities, cargo-handling equipment, transportation equipment, or related technology at a port. Projects can encompass water ports (coastal and inland) as well as facilities where goods are transferred between rail cars and trucks (dry ports).

Ports are vital hubs of transportation and commerce critical to the U.S. economy. In today’s global economy, their efficiency and effectiveness are paramount for economic viability and prosperity. However, ports also concentrate large amounts of diesel equipment—ships, trucks, rail, and non-road machinery—some of which use older engines emitting pollutants near residential and commercial areas. EPA’s investment in clean technologies at ports aims to reduce air pollution, safeguarding public health in communities near ports and addressing climate change concerns. The Clean Ports Program will promote community engagement and emissions reduction planning as standard practices within the port industry.

The new program expands on the achievements of EPA’s Ports Initiative and the Diesel

Approximately $150 million will support climate and air quality planning at U.S. ports, covering emissions inventories, strategy analysis, community engagement, and resilience measures. These efforts will promote

Emissions Reduction Act (DERA) programs, which have invested over $196 million in 207 diesel emissions reduction projects at ports, with an additional $88 million in multi-sector projects involving ports. Building on the foundation laid by the Ports Initiative and DERA, the Clean Ports Program aims to catalyze transformative change within the freight sector. Funded by the Inflation Reduction Act and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, this program is part of a broader effort to reduce emissions at ports

In addition to safeguarding human health and the environment, the program will generate new jobs in the domestic clean energy sector and boost U.S. economic competitiveness. Through innovation, installation, maintenance, and operation of zero-emissions equipment and infrastructure, the program’s significant investment in zero-emission port technology will solidify the U.S. as a global leader in clean technologies.

Reduce Alzheimer’s Risk and Improve Brain Health

When the 2020 U.S. Census was published, it revealed a startling fact: one in six Americans turned 65 or older that year, marking a fivefold increase in that demographic compared to 100 years before in 1920. As more Baby Boomers approach 65, the number of older Americans is projected to continue to rise in the coming years. Considering that age is the greatest known risk factor for dementia, and that most people living with the condition are 65 or older, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the “greying” of America brings an urgency to educate more people about brain health basics in order to help reduce or manage their risk for dementia.

the disease is projected to nearly double to 14 million by 2060.

While these statistics can feel alarming, understanding more about the disease and its risk factors, and also learning more about brain health, can help many older adults feel more in control. For many people, following a few simple tips can meaningfully support brain health, reduce their risk of disease, and help delay the potential onset of Alzheimer’s or dementia.

such as eating a healthy diet, taking steps to maintain healthy blood pressure levels, managing or working to prevent type 2 diabetes and maintaining a healthy weight may all contribute to better brain and overall health. Putting good habits in place can help lead to big results and improved quality of life.

YORK -

June is Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Month and serves as a critical reminder that an estimated 6.9 million Americans currently live with Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s is the most common form of dementia and one of the deadliest diseases in the U.S. today. This devastating disease has no cure and is also on the rise: the number of people living with

Get regular exercise and avoid being physically inactive. Recent research has shown that regular, moderate physical exercise may reduce the risk for developing Alzheimer’s and slow cognitive decline. While more research is needed to understand exactly how exercise may help guard against dementia, studies show physical activity is associated with better cognitive functioning and has many other important health benefits that address the key risk factors for dementia, such as hypertension, diabetes, obesity and physical inactivity.

Cultivate healthy lifestyle behaviors. In addition to exercise, cultivating other healthy lifestyle behaviors and habits,

Get treatment for hearing loss. Hearing loss is one of the main risk factors for dementia, and it can contribute to cognitive decline. Be sure to have a professional check your hearing to detect, manage or treat hearing loss early. For people with Medicare Advantage plans, hearing coverage may be one of the extra benefits included in your plan not covered by Original Medicare.

It was a pictureperfect Saturday morning with sunny skies and crisp, cool weather – perfect for running or walking in the annual York Hospital 5K Road & Cross-Country Race. The race, a “Walk & Run for Everyone,” is a favorite for many Seacoast locals, mostly due to the scenic course that traverses over York Harbor’s Wiggly Bridge, through Steedman Woods, past Hancock Wharf, into historic York Village, and back to the finish line on York Hospital’s main campus.

Spend time with others. Nearly one-fourth of adults aged 65 and older are socially isolated, and research from the National Institute on Aging has shown social isolation is associated with a roughly 50 % increased risk of dementia. Spending time regularly with friends or family and being active in the community all are important ways older adults can maintain social con-

Seeing runners and walkers of all ages is always inspiring, and watching entire families crossing the finish line together warms the heart.

These services include transportation to and from medical appointments, financial and prescription assistance, as well as access to insurance and life-saving medical care.

nections and avoid becoming socially isolated.

Sleep on it. Sleep is essential for brain maintenance, and not getting enough sleep can impair memory and cognitive functioning. Nearly 35% of adults get less than the recommended seven or eight hours per night, and it can be even harder for some older adults to get and stay asleep. Practicing good sleep habits, like limiting caffeine, turning off devices and keeping regular bedtime and waking routines can all help one enjoy better sleep.

In addition to these five steps, it is crucial to have a memory screening done annually. This step allows health care practitioners to monitor cognitive and brain health over time and helps them detect or diagnose memory disorders early. Memory screenings can be performed during an annual Wellness Visit, available at no cost to those on Medicare. Additionally, Medicare Advantage plans offer extra benefits and features not found in Original Medicare, such as dental, hearing, and vision coverage. These plans may also provide access to fitness memberships and 24/7 support from a registered nurse.

YORK COUNTYYork County’s initiative to help combat homelessness includes the introduction of a $125,000 allocation in the 2024 operational budget. This funding aims to support housing placement and diversion efforts, offering assistance such as security deposits for apartments and car repairs, enabling those already housed to maintain their homes and access employment.

The proposal for the funding originated from discussions between County Manager Greg Zinser and the York County Homeless Response Hub, a coalition of social service agencies from across the county. The goal is to use these funds to help

individuals secure and sustain housing. According to Abigail Smallwood, the Hub’s Response Coordinator, the initial allocation would be split between housing placement and diversion funding, with monitoring and assessment to guide adjustments based on feedback and experience. The per-household cap is $2,000, and Smallwood estimates that at least 50 households could be served.

Diversion cases will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis and managed through case conferencing. The initial allocation splits include $54,625 for placement, $54,625 for diversion, and $15,750 set aside for administrative costs.

When possible, York County funds would be used to supplement other, existing

funding sources when those are inadequate. Smallwood wrote that while there are a number of resources available, they often do not go far enough to cover the need; the county funding would cover the gap.

The funds would be administered by York County Community Action Corporation (YCCAC); financial awards for placement and diversion would be tracked on the Homeless Management Information System.

Zinser told York County Commissioners May 15 that YCCAC would work with all

OGUNQUIT -

Partners Bank recently presented a $10,000 check to the Ogunquit Museum of American Art (OMAA), becoming the key sponsor for OMAA’s exhibit, “The Architect of a Museum.”

The OMAA founded in 1953, is home to thousands of art pieces spanning American

area providers. Commissioner Justin Chenette wondered if more people could be helped if all of the funds were to go to placement, rather than a combination of placement and diversion. “I have no doubt the recommendation (from the Hub) is solid … but that would maximize reach,” he said. Zinser replied that a car repair that allows someone to go to work – and therefore keeps the roof over their head – is as critical as placement.

“If people lose their house they lose a lot; it’s more than one thing,” said Commissioner Richard Clark, adding he be-

lieved keeping the diversion piece is important.

Zinser suggested letting the York County Homeless Response Hub know that commissioners would be amenable if some funding needs to be transferred between the two portions of the program. “It gives them flexibility and assures us we’re helping as many people as possible,” said Chenette of that option. “I’m fine with that.”

The vote was unanimous.
