Historic Gathering Honors Cold War Era Descendents

KITTERY -

The Rice Public Library in Kittery recently became the setting for a remarkable and infor-

mative event, bringing together the descendants of two pivotal figures from the Cold War era. Gary Powers Jr., son of U2 pilot Francis Gary Powers, and John Donovan, son of renowned Cold War lawyer James B. Donovan, gathered at the library to share insights into their fathers’ respective legacies.

U.S. Air Force pilot Francis Gary Powers gained international prominence following the 1960 U-2 incident during the Cold War. Shot down over the Soviet Union while conducting reconnaissance, Powers was captured and held captive until his exchange for a Soviet spy in 1962. His return sparked public debate and scrutiny, though Powers later continued his career as

a pilot before tragically dying in a helicopter crash in 1977. Today, Francis Gary Powers, Jr. preserves his father’s legacy by clarifying his father’s contributions to Cold War history based on personal files, audio tapes, letters, and his father’s CIA debriefing transcripts.

James Britt Donovan was

an American lawyer and United States Navy officer in the Office of Scientific Research and Development and the Office of Strategic Services (OSS, predecessor of the Central Intelligence Agency), ultimately becoming General Counsel of the OSS, and an international diplomatic negotiator. Donovan is widely

known for negotiating the 19601962 exchange of Powers along with American student Frederic Pryor for Soviet spy Rudolf Abel, and for negotiating the 1962 release and return of 9,703 prisoners held by Cuba after the failed Bay of Pigs Invasion. Donovan was portrayed by Tom Hanks in the 2015 feature film, “Bridge of Spies.”

The event drew attention from the local community, eager to hear firsthand accounts and personal stories from the descendants of these historical figures. It was a unique opportunity to gain insight into the personal context of the Cold War, brought to life by those who lived through it. For more information, visit www.rice.lib. me.us.

Maine Students Share Civic Achievements at 2024 LWV Convention

WASHINGTON,

D.C. -

Maine student panelists, along with their peers from Alaska and Oregon, recently presented the “Supporting Youth Leaders” workshop at the 2024 League of Women Voters (LWV, LWVME, LWVUS) National Convention in Washington, D.C. Maya Eichorn, 19, Kennebunk, Lianna Holden, 18, of Lewiston, and Alex Wu, 17, of Scarborough, helped answer recruitment and retention questions for new members. They shared what LWVME’s Youth Council members do, how they address challenges, and the larger impacts of their civic work with a 90-member audience.

“Our work in Maine is mostly youth led,” Eichorn said, “so youth determine what we do, and recently it’s been a lot of advocacy at the State house.”

She was particularly impressed by the different model the Alaskan panelists described.

“We learned about their programs within schools, including running mock elections throughout the school system,” Eichorn said. “What a great way to get kids involved in democracy at a young age.”

She met with staff in the offices of Senator Angus King (I), Representatives Chellie Pingree (D) and Jared Golden (D), and lobbied on the John Lewis Voting Rights Act and the GOSAFE Act.

Eichorn’s convention highlight was being nominated and accepted to serve on thE LWVUS nominating committee, which picks national Board delegates every two years.

Eichorn interned twice with LWVME and was Youth

Council representative to the LWVME Board. She attended Kennebunk High School, then York County Community College (YCCC) where she was a civic engagement leader. A 2024 graduate of YCCC, Eichorn will be a freshman at Emerson College in Boston this fall.

The League of Women Voters of Maine is a nonpartisan political organization that encourages informed and active participation in government, works to increase understanding of major public policy issues, and influences public policy through education and advocacy. The organization takes care to neither support nor oppose any one political party or candidate. For more information, visit www. lwv.org.

2024 Wells Ocean Rescue Crew

WELLS -

The 2024 Wells Ocean Rescue Crew is a small but competent staff consisting of 19 members, including two captains, who officially hit the beaches on Saturday, June 29. Despite heavy recruitment efforts, there is a staffing shortage this season, resulting in modifications to lifeguard coverage on Wells beaches for the 2024 season.

There is a reduced number of lifeguard stands along the beachfront, down from ten in past years, to seven this year. This decision was not made without considerable thought to public safety, and the arrangement utilizes every available lifeguard, many of whom are working the maximum number of days and hours, while also abiding by age work and hour restrictions.

Of the seven stands, there will be two stationed on Drakes Island and five stationed on Wells Beach: one at Casino Square, one at the jetty, and three stationed at Public Way 13, Public Way 7, and Public Way 3. Although there will no longer be lifeguard coverage on Crescent Beach, the public may still swim there, at their own risk. “No Lifeguard on Duty” signs will be placed on Crescent Beach and on all stands not occupied by a lifeguard on any given day to notify the public of this change. Lifeguards will continue to operate during regular times, between 9 a.m. - 4 p.m., as in past years.

The Wells Ocean Rescue team has been hard at work for the past few weeks engaged in

wants to be adopted by someone who will give her lots of attention and keep her safe and happy. Cats hate change, and unfortunately, that is exactly what happened to Violet. After being adopted from Safe Haven, she was later returned, due to changing family issues. Safe Haven feels especially terrible for those kitties who have been in homes, only to once again find themselves homeless.

Violet, age 9, was returned the Safe Haven with congestion and a bit of arthritis in her hind legs. After consulting a specialist and undergoing dental surgery, her health has greatly improved. Now, Violet takes an affordable arthritis medication and a food supplement, making her much healthier and happier.

Now is the time for Violet to find a special new home, where someone will take the time to lie down on their back, allowing her to hang out on their chest – her favorite activity, which makes her purr loudly. This sweet girl craves affection and attention, and in return, she

gives back so much love. Violet is precious and darling, and will love being a part of any family. Make an appointment today to meet Violet! The shelter is open 11 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. weekdays, weekends by appointment.

There are shy kitties, lonely kitties, and kitties who need lots of play time. Human contact equals kitty enrichment.

STATEWIDE -

Many scams start with an intimidating phone call. A “debt collector” needs immediate payment, or a “police officer” claims to have a warrant out for an arrest. One latest variation in the ongoing battle against phishers involves a phony “process server” and a nonexistent court case. The Better Business Bureau (BBB)’s Scam Tracker continues to receive reports of this phishing scam. The following are a few tips to help spot and avoid these scams.

How the Scam Works

A call, or several calls, come from an unknown or blocked number from a person claiming to be a process server. They might say there is a lien on the scam victim’s home, or that someone is taking legal action over unpaid medical bills or other issues. The caller may also claim a family member is a “person of interest in an important matter that requires immediate attention,” and that federal law prohibits the caller from sharing any additional information with the victim. Similarly, in other cases, the scammer may be secretive, saying details will not be revealed until formal paperwork is served.

Next, they will ask victims to “confirm” sensitive personal information, such as date of birth, address, or Social Security number. When they hesitate to give this information to the caller, the scammer will then stress the urgency

of the matter – after all, this is a court matter! Asking too many questions about who is making a complaint or what company the process server works for can result in the scammer getting angry and sometimes threatening further legal action. The caller may also try to scare the victim by asking if they will be home or at work within the next hour, as they claim to be arriving soon to serve papers, obtain a signature, and see identification.

Sometimes, the “process server” may be phishing for information about family members. According to a report on BBB Scam Tracker, one consumer shared, “I received a voicemail a few weeks ago claiming there was a lawsuit against my grandmother, using her full government name. Today they called again and asked if I knew the person, to which I said ‘no,’ and then asked if I was (my full government name), to which I also said, ‘no.’ The person continued to be very pushy until they finally decided to end the call.”

The people behind these scams do not have legal papers to deliver; instead, they aim to obtain personal information for identity theft.

The BBB sees many reports about process server phishing scams. One consumer recently shared their experience: “I received a call from a private number, claiming to be a ‘process server’

STEM Program Funding to Encourage Energy Solution Careers

STATEWIDE

-

Maine legislators recently announced that the Maine Mathematics and Science Alliance (MMSA) has been awarded $1,299,377 in funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to launch the Rural Energy Futures (REF) project. Through the REF program, eighth-grade students in rural communities across the state will learn math while exploring local energy issues.

“This funding will help prepare the next generation of Maine students for future careers in critical STEM industries, particularly the energy sector,” the legislators said in a joint statement. “Providing students with

stating they had papers regarding a lien on my home ... I checked with my police department and town, I have no liens on my home.” Another person shared, “A fake process server called my mom and she called them back. They used my maiden name, which I have not had in over 20 years, about a county matter from a county not local to me saying they had papers to serve [and] they wanted to validate my information. My mom hung up, but it scared her.”

How to Avoid Phishing Scams

Be wary of scare tactics and unsolicited phone calls. Scammers love to threaten people with legal action or hefty fines, scaring them into giving up their personal information and money. They hope fear will cause action without thinking. Always remember that representatives of a reputable business or legal office will be polite and civil, even in a serious situation. They will not pressure immediate action, “or else.”

Search your local court’s website to see if someone has filed a lawsuit against you. Use the search function to look up your name and check for any filed law-

the knowledge of opportunities that will be available to them to live and work in Maine is essential for maintaining a robust local economy while ensuring that our state remains a leader in innovative energy technologies.”

“Supporting students as they engage in discussions with people in their own neighborhoods about energy projects and career opportunities will build capacity and understanding from the ground up to ensure our communities move toward energy solutions that work for them. This project will serve as a model for other rural areas, demonstrating how to harness local knowledge and build community strength around novel technologies and

suits. If no results are found, you are likely in the clear.

The scammer may already have some personal information – do not give them any more. Scammers may have some personal information mined from a previous phishing scam, a data breach, or some other source. While speaking with the scammer, the target may notice that the information presented is out of date. For example, the caller may use a maiden name, or a previous address or workplace. Even if the information is out of date, these stolen details may be used against the target to mine more current information. For example, a Social Security number might be read off, or the scam victim might be asked to “confirm” a date of birth.

If out-of-date information is read off, it may trick the target into providing current information. Even if someone already has a few details, the BBB advises to not provide any further information unless confident that the person is trustworthy. Exercise caution when responding to questions that require a simple “yes” or “no” answer, as the “Can you hear me?” scam is still being

futures,” said MMSA Executive Director Dr. Ruth KermishAllen.

The funding will go to directly support the creation of a middle school math curriculum focused on clean energy development, involving 48 teachers and 720 students across 12 rural schools. The curriculum aims to enhance STEM competencies, increase local knowledge, and raise career awareness, while actively supporting the NSF’s priority of developing a skilled energy workforce.

Leading this work at MMSA are Principal Investigator Dr. Heidi Cian, and Co-Principal Investigators Dr. Ruth Kermish-Allen, Alexandria Brasili, and Hannah Lakin. In addition to the team at MMSA, key partners include the Roux Institute at Northeastern University, the Governor’s Energy Office, and rural middle school educators across Maine.

used all the time. Do not give out any personal information about family members. Many of the BBB’s ScamTracker reports indicate that scammers often call to inquire about a target’s family members, using the additional information to further advance their scam. It is best to simply hang up the phone when a caller is asking to validate information about another family member. Afterwards, it is a good idea to notify the family member about the call. That way, they can be on the alert for future scams, and take action to protect their personal and financial information from being stolen.

Reading up on phishing and impostor scams can help spot a con before it’s too late. Watch out for jury duty scams, as well, which also use impostor tactics and threatening phone calls to scam people into paying up.

Bow Street Beverage Joins Chamber

WELLS -

The Wells Chamber of Commerce recently held a ribbon cutting ceremony for new chamber member, Bow Street Beverage Superstore.

SOUTH BERWICK -

The rising cost of food is affecting families and households everywhere. Some weeks, an uneventful trip to the grocery store can turn stress-inducing, sometimes causing hesitation when swiping a debit card during checkout. This unpredictability leaves some families worried their pantry shelves might not be fully stocked from week to week, and sometimes forces them to remove items from their grocery list to stay on budget.

Walker said.

Located at 655 Post Road, Route 1, Bow Street Beverages specializes in world-class wines, local craft beers, and mainstream beverages. They are open Monday-Thursday, 9 a.m. - 6 p.m., Friday and Saturday, 9 a.m. - 7 p.m., and Sunday, 10 a.m. - 6 p.m.

Thankfully, residents of the Berwicks and those around them live in a community that looks out for one another during trying times. The South Berwick Community Food Pantry is an organization that serves area residents by distributing food to those who may be experiencing food insecurity.

The nonprofit relies solely on volunteers to operate. These volunteers pick up and deliver food donations, sort supplies, set up for distribution, and more. Along with food items, the Food Pantry also collects pet food, toiletries, kitchen items, and cleaning products donated by caring community members.

With the donation from Partners, the pantry is able to purchase $1,000 worth of groceries and household items, which averages to be about one month’s worth of groceries for a family of four. This donation, part of the Employee Donation of the Month program, exemplifies the role of Partners Bank as

2024 Hot Summer Nights Concerts

SOUTH BERWICK -

The Hot Summer Nights free concert series is back, featuring a variety of professional musicians across various genres such as bluegrass, country, rock, and folk. The concerts take place on Wednesday evenings throughout the months of July and August. Audience members can bring their own food to the live shows, or enjoy meals from nearby restaurants along Main Street.

Hot Summer Nights is a program of SoBo Central, South Berwick’s non-profit community group that includes the Food Pantry, Home for the Holidays, the Common Ground Tuskegee-

South Berwick Sister City project, the Keep South Ber wick Warm Fuel Fund, and the South Berwick Reporter.

The 2024 lineup is as follows: Wednesday, July 17: Cool Beans. These four veterans of the Seacoast music scene sing music from such 1960s groups as the Everly Brothers, the Byrds, and the Band, as well as select hits from the British Invasion scene and Motown. Their clean harmonies turn heads, while tight ensemble playing gets the people moving. Opening act is Karly Meyer. A Berwick Academy and George Washington Univer sity gradu-

ate, Meyer is an accomplished guitarist and singer who brings unique interpretations to popular cover tunes.

Wednesday, July 24: Poor Howard and Mike “Bullfrog” Rogers. In the late 1970s, (Poor) Howard Stith and Mike (Bullfrog) Rogers performed on the same stages, sharing a common passion for authentic blues from the 1920s and 1930s. Although their professional paths took different turns, the duo is now making up for lost time. Howard and Bullfrog play the blues with the passion and flair of two old troubadours! Opening act are local musicians Tucker Smith and Henry Honkonen. Lifelong friends who grew up in South Berwick, Smith and Honkonen have long played music together. Honkonen has been gigging as a solo artist, while Tucker has focused on studio and live production. The two prolific musicians have joined forces again to record and perform original songs. Tucker also is the new sound man for Hot Summer Nights concerts.

Wednesday, July 31: Cormac McCarthy Band. According to the Boston Globe, Cormac is “a distinctive songwriter with a warm, powerful, inherently melodic baritone, a fine guitarist and a devastating wit … enormous writing gifts, capable of putting chills into your spine or a silly grin on your face.” Opening act is

Beckett Barlow. Raised in South Berwick and a 2024 graduate of Sanford High School, Beckett is a powerhouse singer and guitarist who loves contemporary country artists like Zach Bryan, Tyler Childers and Chris Stapleton.

Wednesday, August 7: The Reconstructed. According to their website, The Reconstructed has “won critical acclaim, built a devoted fan base, and become one of the Seacoast region’s top-drawing original acts with its emotionally-charged folk rock and electrifying live shows.” Opening act are Gianni and Stella Ridolfi. Gianni is an accomplished guitarist on both electric and acoustic, while his sister, Stella, is a polished vocalist. The two present a creative mix of cover tunes in a variety of genres.

Wednesday, August 14 at Lantern Fest: PB&J featuring E, covers “bands you’ve never heard of” and bills itself as primarily a vocal band with three-part harmonies supported by “decent guitar and dreadful conga playing.” Opening act is Ethan Martin of South Berwick, a graduate of Marshwood High School and Worcester Polytech, who plays piano and guitar to support his vocal skills. Martin also has joined as an official member of PB&J (and E!).

The Hot Summer Nights concerts are sponsored by the following local businesses: Brandon Elsemore at Red Tree Team-Keller Williams Realty; Tanya Cattabriga at The Birches-Keller Williams Realty; P Gagnon & Son; Great Northern Builders; the Links at Outlook; Kennebunk Savings Bank; and Pierce Atwood.

Frederick Boyle Book Signing at Town House School

KENNEBUNKPORT -

Renowned genealogist and author Frederick Boyle will be hosting a book signing event for his latest work, “Early Families of Kennebunkport, Maine.” The event will take place at the historic Town House School on Wednesday, July 17 at 2 p.m. Admission is free, with donations appreciated, and books will be available for purchase.

At 94 years old, Boyle continues to make significant contributions to the field of genealogy. His newest book offers a detailed exploration of the early families of Kennebunkport, tracing the town’s history from its early settlers in 1623 to the mid-19th century. Boyle’s meticulous research brings to life the stories of families such as the Downings, Durrells, Fairfields, Goodwins, Huffs, Hutchins, Lords, Merrills, Millers, Perkins, Walkers, and many others who played a pivotal role in the development of this historic town.

Boyle’s expertise is well recognized in the field. From 1985 to 2005, he was a Certified Genealogist through the Board for Certification of Genealogists in Washington, D.C., and a Certified Genealogical Record Searcher prior to that.

Since retiring from teaching, Boyle has authored nine books, three of which were privately published. He remains an active professional genealogist with a loyal clientele and has been a trustee of the Springvale Public Library, advising on its extensive genealogy collection, from 1985 to 2011.

Boyle’s work primarily focuses on families from Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts. He is a member of the New England Historic Genealogical Society and the Maine Historical Society. His new book on Kennebunkport is his most ambitious project yet, capturing the growth of Arundel (Kennebunkport’s original name) and its reestablishment after periods of conflict and hardship.

Kristin Lewis Haight, Executive Director of the Histori-

cal Society, expressed her excitement about the upcoming event: “We are so pleased to welcome Mr. Boyle to the Town House School. It has been exciting to witness his research process here in our archives. We look forward to hearing more about this exciting publication.” For more information, visit www.kporths.com.

Summer Classical Concert Series Writer and Photographer

KENNEBUNKPORT -

St. Ann’s Episcopal Church of Kennebunkport is hosting a series of live baroque and classical music concerts on Sundays, July 21, August 4, and August 18. The concerts will each feature world-class musicians performing timeless favorites using period instruments similar to those used at the time the masterworks were written. St. Ann’s Episcopal is welcoming both members and the general public to attend the concerts. Proceeds will directly support the restoration of the church’s historic buildings and property damaged by the recent storms.

“St. Ann’s 2024 Summer Concerts will offer familiar classics that we hope will attract music lovers from all over the region,” said Ian Watson, artistic director of St. Ann’s Episcopal Church. “These works will be performed by the finest musicians from around the country using period instruments, scholarship, and virtuoso technique to recreate the sound and intentions of these great composers.”

As St. Ann’s music director, Watson will direct the three concerts with varied programs for strings, keyboards, wind

instruments and vocalists. Ian, who played on the original soundtrack of the movie “Amadeus,” among many other recordings, will perform on harpsichord and 5 1/2-Octave Viennese Fortepiano, similar to one owned by Amadeus Mozart. Watson is acclaimed in numerous performances as an operatic and symphonic conductor, period-instrument specialist and virtuoso harpsichordist, organist and pianist. In 2016, he was appointed Associate Conductor of the Handel and Haydn Society in Boston. He is also artistic director of Arcadia Players Period-Instrument Orchestra, and music director of the Connecticut Early Music Festival.

St. Ann’s is a summer chapel open mid-June through September. Its picturesque oceanfront stone chapel, built of large, sea-washed stones, has been in continuous summer use since it was completed in 1892. St. Ann’s is pleased to welcome visitors for services, concerts, weddings and sightseeing. The grounds offer a beautiful setting with gardens, a historic chapel, and expansive lawns overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and Kennebunk River.

In Maine, a statue memorializes a celebrity harbor seal; a geodesic dome pays homage to the official state fruit (the blueberry); a quirky museum documents the history of the state’s sardine industry; and a movie theater is named after a celebrated racehorse.

Mile after mile, Route 1 tells a story about history, survival, loss, and change.

In her presentation, Bregman travels the famed corridor of Route 1, sharing photographs of the early 20th-century from communities along the coast, sourced from historical societies, museums, libraries, universities, and private collections. She will touch on some of York’s attractions, including the Goldenrod, the Fun-O-Rama bowling alley, and the Nubble Lighthouse. Seasonal visitors and residents alike are encouraged to consider adding a little local history to their summer plans with this fun program.

A writer and photographer, Susan Bregman is also the author of Arcadia Publishing’s “New England Neon” and “New England Candlepin Bowling.” A native New Yorker, she moved to Boston after graduating from college, and never left.

“Along Route 1: Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts” is part of the “Images of America” series by Arcadia

Publishing. Arcadia Publishing is the nation’s leading publisher of books of local nonfiction and rarely explored pockets of history. Their mission is to connect people with their past, with their communities and with one another.

Caucus Aims to Reduce Fashion’s Carbon Footprint

Recently, Congresswoman Chellie Pingree (D-ME), ranking member of the House Appropriations Interior and Environment Subcommittee, alongside Representatives Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (DWA), and Sydney KamlagerDove (D-CA) held the first-ever Congressional Slow Fashion Caucus to curb fast fashion pollution through climate-smart policies. The Members were joined by sustainable fashion industry leaders and stakeholders, including Patagonia, thredUp, and the Garment Worker Center for the launch event and press conference, live streamed from Capitol Hill.

ing waste stream in the U.S., with only 15% of clothing in the U.S. being recycled or reused. The rest is either incinerated or sent to landfills for disposal.

In addition, over the past several decades, hundreds of thousands of fiber and textile jobs that once sustained communities across America have shifted overseas, harming American farmers and communities in the process.

can be reused, repaired, and recycled.

to curb fast fashion and promote sustainability.

To address this pressing issue, Pingree has taken initiative in Congress to explore solutions for managing discarded clothing and textile waste. She founded the Congressional Slow Fashion Caucus, aimed at developing climate-smart policies that promote the reduction, repair, rewear, and recycling of textiles.

Promote textile reuse and recycling infrastructure. Existing systems and infrastructure for the collection, reuse, and recycling of used textiles are not well established and do not support consistent, convenient, or widespread collection of the quantity and quality of textiles needed to retain value and support economical reuse and recycling.

Build public awareness of fast fashion’s environmental impact. Additional education is needed on the negative impacts of fast fashion and opportunities to support a circular economy for textiles.

In June of 2023, Pingree and Rosa DeLauro (D-CT.), Ranking Member of the House Appropriations Committee, called on the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) Comptroller General Gene Dodaro to outline ways the fashion industry and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) can better manage discarded clothing and textile waste. The Democratic congresswomen focused on the rise of the fast fashion industry as a primary driver of textile waste pollution. Last year, Pingree also spoke on the House floor about the growing threat of the fast fashion industry.

The rise of so-called “fast fashion” has become an urgent environmental problem worldwide. Fast fashion in particular is often made from fossil fuelbased fabrics like polyester and nylon which, when not discarded properly, end up in landfills and oceans. The fashion industry is now responsible for more carbon emissions than all international flights and maritime shipping combined.

Fast fashion relies on cheap manufacturing, frequent consumption, and short-lived garment use. This constant cycle of production and disposal is taking a huge toll on the environment. Over the last two decades, in line with the ascension of fast fashion, the rate of textile waste has increased tremendously. In 2018, the Environmental Protection Agency estimated 17 million tons of textiles were generated in the United States alone. Textile waste is now the fastest grow-

The Slow Fashion Caucus’ principles to support a circular economy for textiles are as follows:

Incentivize the apparel industry to promote reuse, repair, and recycling of textiles. While the apparel industry is responsible for a significant amount of greenhouse gas emissions, they also have the power to be part of the solution, and some are starting to take action. Public policy, such as incentives for secondhand purchases or participation in rental models, can make it easier for companies and consumers to do the right thing for the environment.

Develop “circular economy” policies to drive the apparel industry to reduce natural resource consumption. A circular economy prevents products such as textiles from becoming waste and keeps materials in circulation by designing products that

Bring textile production back to the United States. As global trends have impacted the economics of producing textiles and apparel outside the U.S., and as consumer demand for more sustainably produced products has risen, there is a need to bring more textile and apparel production stages back home.

Support the use of more sustainable fibers. Reducing the use of virgin materials and using more plant and animalbased fibers, such as cotton, flax, hemp, wool, and alpaca, may help to decrease environmental impacts.

Expand initiatives across federal agencies to encourage textile sustainability. President Biden is building a whole-of-government approach to reach the goal of reducing U.S. greenhouse gas emission by 50–52% from 2005 levels by 2030 and limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. Existing government efforts can be further leveraged

The Slow Fashion Caucus is quickly gaining widespread support, including from American Circular Textiles, the Garment Worker Center, Al Gore’s Climate Reality Project, Patagonia, thredUp, fashion designer and slow fashion influencer

Kelly Dempsey, and more. One way to help contribute to the Slow Fashion cause and to help keep unwanted clothing and fabric out of landfills is to participate in a clothing and textile recycling drive happening this weekend, Saturday, July 13, at Quest Fitness, located at 2 Livewell Drive, in Kennebunk. St. David’s Episcopal Church in Kennebunk is partnering with EcoSmith Recyclers of New Boston, NH, Quest Fitness, and several area businesses, to help keep thousands of pounds of textiles and shoes out of area landfills. Participants are encouraged to drop off clean, unwanted textiles (old clothing, linens, etc) and shoes to help in reducing fabric and footwear waste. For more information, email da3lm2@gmail.com.

2024 Maine Summer Adventure Race Goes Island Hopping

STATEWIDE -

The Maine Summer Adventure Race will take its participants island hopping in its eighth annual edition this upcoming weekend, Saturday, July 13 and Sunday, July 14. Maine’s only U.S. Adventure Racing Association and Adventure Race World Series-sanctioned adventure race offers three, eight, and 24-hour editions. Teams of two to four people will embark on a humanpowered scavenger hunt, traveling on foot, bikes, and kayaks. They will search for 80 checkpoints hidden in the woods and on the waters along a 110-mile unmarked course.

For the second consecutive year, the start and finish of the race will be at P-3 Park in Brunswick. The eight-hour edition, geared toward beginner and intermediate level athletes, will begin at 8 a.m., while the 24-hour race will set off at 10 a.m. The

3-hour family race is scheduled for a 12 p.m. start. All three races start on Saturday.

This year’s race will include off-trail trekking and road biking for the 3-hour race, with the addition of optional mountain biking and sea kayaking during the 8-hour race. The 24-hour race adds an additional long orienteering trek. Teams must combine athleticism with strategy and navigation to guide themselves to as many checkpoints as possible within the race’s time limits.

The Maine Summer Adventure Race is sponsored by L.L. Bean, OutThere Packs, Pasokin Peanut Butter Snacks, Squirt Cycling Products, and Zanfel. After the race, participants will enjoy a post-race party back at P-3 Park. Post-race sponsors include Flight Deck Brewing, Wild Oats Bakery and Café, and The Maine Oyster Company.

U.S. Senator Susan Collins recently announced that the University of New England (UNE) will receive $999,917 in grant funding to educate and train primary care and supportive care workforces to provide age-friendly and dementia-friendly care for older adults. This funding is awarded through the Health Resources and Services Administration’s

(HRSA) Fiscal Year 2024 Geriatric Workforce Enhancement Program (GWEP), and will support the GWEP at UNE, known as AgingME.

In 2019, Collins authored the Geriatrics Workforce Improvement Act, bipartisan legislation that reauthorized the GWEP for five years to increase the number of geriatric health professionals to support our aging population. This

legislation was signed into law in March 2020 as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, or the CARES Act.

“For Maine, with an aging population of more than a quarter million Mainers over the age of 65, and less than 40 practicing geriatricians, there is an acute need to quickly train more geriatric health professionals to meet the growing demand,” said

We have the latest in digital technology!

Collins. “I will continue to support efforts to expand training and educational opportunities in geriatrics, helping to develop a high-quality geriatric workforce ready to provide care for Americans.”

“I’m thrilled and grateful to lead this opportunity from HRSA to tackle workforce needs to better support Maine’s rural, older adults. Over the next five years, in partnership with Maine’s Area Health Education Center (AHEC) and the University of Maine’s Center on Aging, UNE’s College of Osteopathic Medicine and the Center for Excellence in Public Health will focus on the direct care workforce and rural education with new and innovative strategies,” said Susan Wehry, MD, Director of AgingME.

Currently, there are fewer than 7,300 physicians that are

board-certified geriatricians, which is fewer than one percent of all physicians. According to the American Geriatrics Society, the United States needs to train approximately 20,000 geriatricians to staff up for the country’s needs now and even more are needed – as many as 30,000 by 2030 – to meet the needs of an aging population. As a member and now Vice Chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, Collins has secured funding to grow HRSA’s Geriatric workforce education programs, including the Geriatrics Workforce Enhancement Program and Geriatric Academic Career Awards. The fiscal year (FY) 2024 appropriations law provides $48.2 million for HRSA Geriatric workforce education programs, an increase of $1 million over FY 2023 enacted.

GWEP is the only federally funded program that exists to educate and train health care professionals in geriatrics. Research suggests geriatricians more effectively manage older patients’ care. HRSA has awarded funding to 42 grantees as part of the FY 2024 Geriatric Workforce Enhancement Program, including the GWEP program at UNE. GWEP programs help integrate geriatrics into primary care, train providers to address the needs of older adults, deliver communitybased programs, and provide Alzheimer’s disease education.

Maine Preservation, partnering for a fifth year with The 1772 Foundation, awarded one-for-one matching grants totaling $126,700 to 21 non-profit organizations maintaining historic buildings in Maine. The grants ranged in amount from $1,750 to the grant maximum of $10,000.

“Maine Preservation is honored to partner with The 1772 Foundation to deliver much-needed support for historic buildings that are integral to the fabric of communities across Maine,” said Tara Kelly, Executive Director of Maine Preservation. “We are pleased to direct capital improvement funds to organizations for a full range of rehabilitation and long-term maintenance projects – from critical sill repair as part of adapting a building for workforce housing in Bethel to reroofing a barn that supports the production of culturally relevant food for immigrant and refugee populations in Southern Maine. The 1772 Foundation funds supplement the limited in-state grant resources currently available to support preservation efforts in Maine.”

The Historical Society of Wells and Ogunquit was among the many recipients of the grants. Other recipients in-

cluded the Brooks Historical Society (Brooks); Falmouth Land Trust (Falmouth); Frances Perkins Center (Newcastle); Gayety Theatre Project (Van Buren); Greenville Junction Depot Friends (Greenville); Indian River Community Association (Addison); Maine MILL (Lewiston); Northern Forest Center (Bethel); Old Bristol Historical Society (Bristol); Oxford Historical Society (Oxford); Patten Historical Society (Patten); Poland Spring Preservation Society (Poland); St. Albans Maine Historical Society (St. Albans); the Waldo Theatre (Waldoboro); Vassalboro Historical Society (North Vassalboro); Vaughan Woods & Historic Homestead (Hallowell); Victoria Mansion (Portland); and Wilhelm Reich Museum (Rangeley).

The 1772 Foundation’s Executive Director, Ethiel Garlington, recalled, “Our founder, Stewart Barney Kean, fell in love with historic preservation through the act of restoration. He appreciated the materials and workmanship of historic buildings. More importantly, he recognized the value of maintenance, repairs, and upgrades to ensure historic places survive for the next stewards. These grants exemplify his spirit and love of historic preservation.”

Grants were provided for exterior repair and restoration
