Pickleball Fans Invited to Open House YORK Many golf- or tennis-centric clubs bring platform tennis in to keep their members active and social during the winter and bring in revenue through lessons with pros, leagues, and food and beverage service. So, where does pickleball come into play? Platform Tennis Hall-ofFamer and pickleball enthusiast Patty Hogan put it this way: “Pickleball is a gateway drug for platform tennis. As long as you can get those players up the three steps to our elevated paddle courts, you are golden.” Hogan is a founder of Northern Lake George Paddle, which recently changed its name to Lake George Paddle and Pickleball because of the demand for the game, and uses the facility there for both sports simultaneously, all with the goal of promoting good health, racquet skills, and a friendly, active community. Many local parks and recreation departments now offer pickleball courts, including Wells, York, Ogunquit, and Kennebunk. To further the point of the sport’s popularity and despite the pandemic, York Paddle Tennis Club just raised $50K in

conjunction with a $50K bank loan to pave four brand-new pickleball courts. One reason the two sports complement each other is seasonal. At clubs where summer paddle has fewer players, pickleball player numbers are at their highest. Another reason is that platform tennis courts offer

night-time play and fun. Most pickleball courts are day-use only in places that don’t necessarily promote hanging out. By taking advantage of paddle facilities with lights and huts, pickleball players get a sense of the community on which platSee PICKLEBALL page 4...

Free Ice Cream with Police on August 22 WELLS In a year marred with uncertainty, the public is invited to two free ice cream giveaways on Saturday, August 22 at two locations: Walter Marsh Recreation Center, 412 Branch Road, Wells, at 1 p.m. or Wells Harbor Park (end of Harbor Road) at 2 p.m. Members of the Wells Police Department will he handing out free ice cream bars to community members. This fun, friendly, and thoughtful idea was put together by Wells resident, Maureen Mahoney, who worked hard with local businesses and community sponsors to create this

event. Please follow social distancing guidelines. The York Police Department held a free ice cream event also, on August 6, with the additional help of Detective Jamie Robi. The give-away was so successful that the venue was moved from the police department to York Harbor beach. A refrigerated truck was contributed by TC Hafford Basement Systems. Other sponsors include Anthony’s Food Shop, C&S Auto & Truck, Dairy Queen of Wells, Hannaford, Kennebunk Savings Bank, and York-Ogunquit United Methodist Church.

Hurd Manor Up For Sale

Center for Wildlife Shares: A Lobsterman and His Gull NORTH BERWICK After a massive renovation project, the iconic Hurd Manor in North Berwick is being offered for sale at $1,050,000. The 25-room landmark mansion, with eight bedrooms and eleven baths, has been the showplace of this southern Maine community since 1893. Standing proudly on a small knoll at the intersection of Routes 9 and 4, Hurd Manor is described as the finest Eastlake Victorian residence in Maine by Earle G. Shettleworth Jr., longtime director of the Maine Historic Preservation Commission. In 2011, Yankee Magazine bestowed a “Best of New England” honor on

Hurd Manor for its architectural significance. It is beyond a doubt one of the timeless treasures of southern Maine. In a vibrant community, which boasts both Pratt & Whitney and Hussey Seating as corporate citizens, Hurd Manor hearkens back to the rich heritage of North Berwick and has played a leading role in its cultural evolution. The home was built for Mary R. Hurd, owner of the sprawling North Berwick Woolen Mill. She also owned the National Bank of North Berwick, and donated money for construction of the town’s fire station, liSee HURD page 2...

CAPE NEDDICK “Red Eye” has been visiting Captain John Makowsky on his fishing boat for the past 16 years, sometimes spending hours on his boat, waiting for the just right fish. John has grown to know and adore this bird, and judging by her visiting schedule, she thinks he is pretty fantastic too. Captain John brought Red Eye to the Center for Wildlife after she came to his boat with an injured leg. Upon examination, the clinic director determined that she had old muscle and nerve trauma that was restricting her ability to keep her foot open and was fitted with a specialized

bootie and provided physical therapy. Improvement wasn’t evident and she wasn’t eating until Captain John showed up with donations of Brown Hake (her favorite fish!) and she gobbled it right up. She was then started on a homeopathic regimen for bruising and trauma and also received See GULL page 28... Have you seen our

Hurd Manor is listed on the National Register of Historic Places not only for its historical significance but also because Mary Hurd was one of America’s first female industrialist. Following Mary’s death in 1933 at the age of 94, Hurd Manor passed through a succession of owners, each with a different plan for the building – boarding house, restaurant, tavern, apartment building, real estate office, law practice. Current owners Sally McLaren and Ben Gumm purchased Hurd Manor in 2004 and transformed the home into an upscale Victorian bed & breakfast inn called Angel of the Berwicks. “All the elegant woodwork and architectural features have

AUGUSTA Governor Mills extended the State of Civil Emergency for thirty days through September 3. The Governor’s decision to extend the emergency is in line with nearly every other state in the nation, which also have ongoing emergency declarations, according to the National Governors Association. The state of New Hampshire renewed its state of emergency last Friday. “Maine people have taken the tough but necessary steps to protect the health and safety of us all, and it is their actions that are allowing our economy to reopen been faithfully preserved,” said McLaren. “We’ve added special touches our guests expect from a first-class lodging facility.” Inside and out, Hurd Manor incorporates an array of stunning architectural features, including hand-carved images, a slate roof crowned with fancy iron cresting, four medieval-style chimneys, eight fireplaces with mantles of marble and intricately-carved wood, Corinthian columns stained glass, and Mary Hurd’s original safe in its custom-built cabinet. The sale of Hurd Manor is being handled by the Kennebunkport office of Legacy Properties Sotheby’s International Realty. For more information about the sale, call the real estate agents at 207-967-0934. For historical details, call 207676-2133 or visit www.angeloftheberwicks.com.

This deadly virus is still with us, and while I am proud of the progress Maine has made, we are not immune from the surges we have seen in other states. We must all stay vigilant and stay safe.” A State of Civil Emergency allows Maine to continue to draw down critical Federal resources and to deploy all available resources to respond to COVID-19. This is Governor Mills’ fifth extension of the State of Civil Emergency. Under Maine law, State of Civil Emergency Proclamations may only be issued in thirty day increments. As of August 3, adjusted for population, Maine ranks 3rd lowest in the nation in terms of positive cases; 8th lowest in the nation in terms of deaths; 4th lowest in terms of patients everhospitalized out of the 36 states reporting; and 5th highest in the percentage of people who have recovered out of the 42 states reporting.

Kennebunk River Watershed Steering Committee Seeks Community Input

YORK COUNTY Do you live, work, or recreate in the towns of Kennebunk, Kennebunkport, Arundel, or Lyman? The York County Soil and Water Conservation District (YCSWCD), in partnership with Wells National Estuarine Research Reserve (WNERR), FB Environmental, and other community and municipal organizations, are creating a watershedbased plan to identify current problems within the watershed and provide long-term strategies

to address these issues. The watershed consists of all the land that will drain water into the Kennebunk River or its tributaries. Activities, land use, and development that occur within this area will affect the water quality of the river. Currently the Kennebunk River does not meet State of Maine water quality standards. As a crucial step in developing this watershed-based plan for the Kennebunk River, project partners are seeking input

from the public to share what they believe to be the most important water quality issues in their communities. An interactive story map presentation has been created to showcase the results of surveys and monitoring that have already been completed in the watershed and is available at https://bit.ly/33AwnOc. Please provide your feedback by reading through this story map and completing a brief survey to identify which issues you believe to be critical in your community

and what actions you want to see taken to address these water quality issues in the future. Priorities identified by members of the watershed communities will be incorporated into the final watershed-based management plan. Online input sessions will also be held to allow for more in-depth discussions of community specific watershed issues. Three sessions will be held via Zoom on the following dates: Lyman: August 25, 7-8 p.m.; Arundel: August 27, 7-8 p.m. and Kennebunk/Kennebunkport: August 31, 7-8 p.m. Those interested in attending the online public input sessions are asked to contact Annie Cox at Wells National Estuarine Research Reserve at acox@ wellsnerr.org. This work is made possible due to a $41,600 604b watershedbased plan development grant awarded to YCSWCD in partnership with WNERR. Funding for this project was provided, in part, by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under Section 604(b) of the Clean Water Act. The funding is administered by the MDEP in partnership with the U.S. EPA. For more information

Dear Computer Lady, Can you please tell me how to save a word document (windows 10) to the desktop and to a usb memory stick. Just upgraded my operating system and am looking to find a way to do this. Thanks, Alicia Dear Alicia, Saving a Word document in Windows 10 shouldn’t be all that different than it was in previous versions of Windows. Let’s take a look. Open Microsoft Word and create your document. To save it on your desktop, follow these directions: 1. Click on the “File” tab in the upper-left corner. 2. Click on “Save” in the menu. 3. Click on “This PC” under Save As. 4. Click the up arrow at the top of the right column, next to the word “Documents”. 5. Click on “Desktop” in the right column. 6. Type a name for your document in the box that says, “Enter file name here”. 7. Click the “Save button. To save a copy of the document on the USB memory stick, follow these directions: 1. Click on the “File” tab in the upper-left corner. 2. Click on “Save As” in the menu. 3. Click on “This PC” under Save As. 4. Click the up arrow at the top of the right column, until it says, “This PC”. 5. Double-Click on “your USB drive” in the right column. 6. Click the “Save button. Now, close your Word document and you will have a copy on your desktop and your USB drive. Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, I love your column. I read it even though I think I know what to do and usually learn a great lesson. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Today I have a

question about printing the list of what I have saved in a folder. I use Windows. I am an embroidery sewer and have dozens of files that I have downloaded to my computer. The nightmare comes when I need to find a particular file. My naming protocol is scary at best and just downright impossible to find when I’m in a hurry. I have files on my hard drive, on memory sticks and CDs. I started the filing system without thinking about it being difficult to find a file. The digitizer names the files. Some have a name that is description of the item in the files such as ChristmasTree.pes. Some have a number which doesn’t give a clue as to what is in the file. Some have eight to ten files with the exact same name with the only difference being the size. I just plain need help and any suggestion you have for me will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Bette Dear Bette, As a fellow saver of embroidery files, I have a couple of tools that I can share with you. One is free and will help you to organize your files and the other is not free, but will help you view and print your files. First for the free tool. The secrets of embroidery website has a handy set of empty folders that are great for organizing embroidery files. I downloaded the folders many years ago, and have even added to them when I have a design that doesn’t seem to fit in any of the available folders. You can read about their organizing ideas and download the folders at: www. secretsof.com/content/608. The second tool that I use and I think you will find invaluable is the Embird embroidery software. You can find Embird at www. See COMPUTER page 9...

~ Ask The Computer Lady ~ ...COMPUTER from page 8 embird.net. Embird will help you do two things that are extremely helpful. First, you will be able to print a catalog of all designs in a folder. This is what you are looking for in your original question, and I have used it in the past to print out a catalog of designs. It is great if you want to give people a list of designs to choose from. The file name is listed beneath each image which makes it easy for you to go back and select the right file. For an extra $20. you can purchase the iconizer plug-in for Embird, which will allow you to see an icon for each embroidery file showing what the design is. This saves on paper, and allows you to easily see what each design looks like when browsing your files in Windows. Elizabeth Dear computer lady, I have an older laptop that was dropped with the power cord attached. I thought that the end of the power cord had bent, and I needed a new cord. I took it to the store where I purchased it, and found out that it’s not the power cord, but the prong in the charging port that got bent - thus no connection. They said that it would have to be replaced - to the tune of a little over $300 which is way more than the computer is worth. While I wouldn’t mind getting a new laptop, there are photos (and maybe some documents) on my laptop that i would like. Isn’t there a less expensive way to fix it? And if so, can a

novice like me do it? Thank you! Carol Dear Carol, There is probably not a less expensive way to fix your laptop, but there is a way to get your files off the hard drive. It is probably not something that a novice can do, but your local computer shop should be able to help you with that. Your local computer shop can recover files from hard drives for you, but an even less expensive option would be to have your files backed up before accidents happen. Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, I enjoy your column so much and you have enlightened me also. I am not a computer person, but I am learning. My question is are PC Cleaners or cleaner uppers for a computer a good deal. Do I have to have a pc cleaner to find mistakes/problems/issues on my PC? Thank you in advance you are terrific! Ellen Dear Ellen, You don’t have to purchase a PC Cleaning program to find issues on your PC or to clean them up. Windows has built in cleaning tools, and there is a great, free tool that you can download called CCleaner. First, Windows comes with a tool called, Disk Cleanup. The easiest way to find it is to click on your start button, then type, “Disk Cleanup”. You can also access it by right-clicking on your C: drive, clicking “Properties” then click on “Disk Cleanup”.

KW Contemporary Art Presents “Transmarinus”

KENNEBUNK KW Contemporary Art is pleased to announce their upcoming exhibition Transmarinus, a solo exhibition of work from gallery artist Chloe Saron. Saron, based in Stowe, VT, is a rising talent in the art world and this will be the first solo exhibition of her work. An artist reception with be held August 14, 5-7 p.m. at KW Contemporary Art located at 184 Port Road, Kennebunk. The exhibition will run from August 8 through September 7. Saron refers to her pieces as Modern Romantic Landscapes. Embracing her favorite part of the Romanticism movement, she aspires to experience and understand the world through emotion and feeling. Her landscapes are born from her subconscious, fusing her memory with her perception of an idealized scene. She starts each painting with only a loose sense of a specific memory and a vision of where light will reflect. The rest transcends through many fine layers and compositional arrangements. Though subtle, some pieces have emerged with hints of the

many landscapes Chloe has witnessed - ranging from her time living in Wyoming and Colorado to her travels in Southeast Asia, Australia, and Europe to her home base in Vermont and the Adirondack Mountains. Chloe purposely blurs or ‘fogs’ her paintings to force the viewer to see the landscape as a whole. By eliminating tight detail, the eye is not distracted by ‘this or that’ in the landscape. The viewer is able to perceive the scene as a moment. She hopes that such ambiguity enables each viewer to connect with the scene in his or her own way and pull from a personal memory- a place, a feeling, or a time. Transmarinus represents a new collection of work from Chloe Saron inspired by the coastal landscapes. In keeping with Saron’s modern romantic style these works will capture the stunning dichotomy of the ocean, it’s terrible beauty and ineffable power that have captured the human imagination for generations. For more information on exhibition, go to www.kwcontemporaryart.com.

Photographer Barber, Featured in #VerandArt Project CAPE NEDDICK To honor Ogunquit’s long-standing history as an artists’ colony and showcase the local artists in the community today, Clay Hill Farm-together with TaleSpinStudio in Ogunquit, launched the #VerandArt Project in the spring of 2018. The unique outreach program features a new local artist’s collection in the Veranda Room at Clay Hill Farm every 6-8 weeks for the public to view and enjoy. The next featured artist is local photographer Rick Barber, with a public artist meet-andgreet reception scheduled for Wednesday, August 19, 3-5 p.m. at Clay Hill Farm. After purchasing Moon Over Maine Bed & Breakfast in 2011, Rick Barber and his husband Mark moved to Ogunquit and settled in as residents on

the picturesque coast of Maine. What began as a morning walk on the beach, quickly became a daily sunrise photo post on Facebook, and from there Barber’s photography took off. With a deep passion for Ogunquit expressed through his photos, and a steadfast commitment to

community through volunteerism, Barber has become much more than a casual amateur photographer. Through the power of social media, Barber’s powerful images of coastal beauty – with a sunrise specialty, have transcended small town love to become iconic messages of new-day hope and peace for all. “Capturing these moments is like finding moments of grace and serenity,” said Barber, “An opportunity to find a sense of peace in a chaotic world.” Barber’s “Mornings in Maine” collection will be displayed in the Veranda Room at Clay Hill Farm through mid-tolate October. In accordance with state safety protocols, masks are required for the indoor gallery during the opening. Complimentary hors d’oeuvres will be provided and all are welcome.

~ Arts & Entertainment ~ York County Audubon Presents 23 Reasons to Go Outside YORK COUNTY Interested in discovering some of the birds, plants and nature that are often hiding in plain sight all around us? Local naturalist Josh Fecteau will share some of the wild treasures he’s found near his home in Kennebunkport, and encourage all of us to go outside to make rewarding discoveries of our own. On Tuesday, August 18, at 7 p.m., York County Audubon will be presenting this program online.

It’s available free of charge, but advance registration is required. To register, go to www.yorkcountyaudubon.org, and click on the link that you’ll find there. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the program. Josh grew up along the southern Maine coast. In his early 20s, he discovered his passion for the natural world. Since then, he has spent countless hours explor-

ing New England, observing and interacting with his surroundings in fresh, exciting ways. In 2017, he gave free reign to his passion for birds, and ended up setting a Maine Big Year record, observing 317 different bird species in Maine in that calendar year, including quite a few rarities. Another passion is his love of wild native plants, especially edible ones. Over the years, he has presented a variety of workshops and programs on foraging

for edible wild plants, providing guidelines and tips for safe, successful and satisfying foraging in your backyard and beyond. His strong desire to share

his love of the natural world with others who are hungry for wild connection inspires his blog, joshfecteau.com, where he is making steady progress toward his goal of providing “237 Reasons to Go Outside”.

Playhouse Staff Working Hard for Non-Profit Theaters OGUNQUIT Ogunquit Playhouse has been working closely with peers from leading nonprofit performing arts organizations throughout the state to voice the urgent need their sector faces while COVID-19 continues to keep theaters closed. Maine’s nonprofit theaters have needed and still need financial support from Maine’s $1.25 billion CARES Act funding to create economic relief and to preserve

these cultural assets until they can reopen at full capacity. Ogunquit Playhouse and other nonprofit theaters were some of the first businesses to close and will be among the last to reopen. The economic impact of this can be felt directly by the local communities. Besides being a performing arts attraction, Ogunquit Playhouse is an enormous economic engine in the region, bringing in hundreds of thousands of visitors. Every $1 spent on cultural tourism results in $46 spent in the local economy. The more work the theater produces, the more staff hired, the more artists employed, the more youth educated, and the more patrons engaged – patrons who help small business partners fill their restaurants, hotels, and retail shops. As has been seen, a number of local businesses have now closed permanently. As support from the first PPP loan program runs dry and theater reserves dwindle, the Playhouse continues efforts to innovate, educate, and engage audiences in new ways and to maintain their facilities without the usual staff and resources. Loyal patrons have been generous, but without state assistance, recovery will be a very long and difficult process. Locally, the Sedoric Group have issued a $10,000 match challenge for Wells donors. Any donation made by a Wells resident will

People and Business Profiles

Community Solar Farms Re-Launching in Maine STATEWIDE ReVision Energy is reopening solar farm shares for all Central Maine Power customers, allowing anyone to go solar, regardless of home ownership status or viability of their home/ business for solar. The passing of LD 1711 last year expanded the number of members for each community solar farm (CSF), lowering the associated costs and expanding access to more Mainers. Solar farms are a way to bring solar to people who rent, own a condo or home that is unsuitable for solar, or who have maximized the solar potential at their existing home and want to generate more solar electricity. With a CSF share, members do not have to live near the farm itself, as long as they are in the same utility territory (i.e. CMP). ReVision Energy provides an ownership model of community solar, meaning each participant owns a share of solar in one of the community pro-

jects, rather than participating as a subscription-holder. In this model, a group of residents or small business owners are paired up with a host and invest together in a large solar array which is built on the ground in an ideal solar location (typically an open field, business park, or brownfield). 100% of the generation from the solar farm is sent to the grid and automatically credited to the accounts of the solar shareholders based on their stake in the solar farm. This billing function is called “virtual net metering” and enables members to offset their electric bills through bill credits produced at the solar farm. A kilowatt-hour produced at the solar farm will directly offset a kilowatt-hour consumed at the member’s home. The power produced from the array, besides being clean and produced locally in Maine, is much less expensive than the power currently sold by the utility. By investing in solar energy, members are locking in a flat

rate of electricity for the next 25+ years (the panels are warrantied for 25 but have a life expectancy of 40 years). Members are also able to take advantage of the 26% federal tax credit, and ReVision Energy offers financing that enables many members to swap out their monthly electric bill for a loan payment, thereby going solar at no upfront cost. A great advantage of the solar farm ownership model is that the share is portable – if a member moves to another home or apartment (within CMP’s territory), their community solar share comes with them. If they need to move out of CMP’s service territory they can sell the share to another person. ReVision Energy has been building and operating community solar farms since 2014. They now operate fourteen CSFs around the state and are looking forward to building the next one under the new legislature. For more information, visit www. revisionenergy.com.

Waban Continues to Make a Difference During COVID-19 SANFORD Waban’s commitment to making a difference is stronger than ever in the face of the COVID-19 emergency. The agency, with assistance from its business partners and local community, has worked to provide wrap around supports to its program participants and staff, keeping folks both physically and mentally healthy during these unsettling times. Waban immediately implemented all state and federal guidelines to help stop the spread of COVID-19. These changes, while necessary, resulted in the closure of Waban’s Fraser-Ford

Child Development Center (FFCDC) and LifeWorks Adult Day Habilitation Program, and threatened other vital services for children and adults with autism and intellectual and developmental disabilities. Recognizing these transitions would likely cause added anxieties during an already stressful time, Waban took action to help ease worries of both program participants and staff. Waban worked diligently to shift several in-person services to telehealth platforms, allowing program participants to remain engaged while staying safe at home. LifeWorks, Waban’s adult

day habilitation program, created daily schedules filled with activities that could easily be performed at home. LifeWorks participants joined together with LifeWorks staff via Zoom video calls to check in, practice yoga and art, and stay connected to one another. Case management and clinical services also shifted to video and phone conferencing—ensuring these vital services went uninterrupted despite the current circumstances. In Waban’s residential homes, staff worked to provide comfort and support to residents, helping them understand the importance of staying home. Staff

Maine Preservation Announces Preservation Grant Awards STATEWIDE Maine Preservation, in partnership with The 1772 Foundation, has announced the final recipients of a new historic preservation grant program for Maine. The 2020 recipients include Wells Reserve at Laudholm with the farm receiving $2,500. Maine Preservation a the statewide, nonprofit organization that promotes and preserves historic places, buildings, downtowns and neighborhoods, strengthening the cultural and

economic vitality of Maine communities and The 1772 Foundation, based Providence, RI, plays a leading role in promoting historic preservation nationwide. In its most recent grant round, The 1772 Foundation worked with the six New England statewide historic preservation organizations, including Maine Preservation, to administer 1:1 matching grants of up to $10,000 for deserving projects. At their quarterly meeting, the trustees of The 1772 Foundation

awarded $100,000 in grants to 16 Maine projects. The initial pool of 48 Maine applicants included libraries, theaters, museums, lighthouses, and community centers requesting more than $435,197 in capital repair projects. From these inquiries, organizations 28 organizations were invited to submit full applications, totaling over $235,000 in needed funds.

He succeeds retiring President and CEO Carl R. Nold on June 1. Said David A. Martland, Chair of the Historic New England Board of Trustees, “We set out to find a President and CEO who could build on our foundation of excellence and expand the reach of our work. With an extraordinary background of preservation, conservation, and cultural leadership at both national and regional levels, combined with an exceptional track record in organizational management, communications, and fundraising, we are exceptionally well-positioned for continued success with Vin, especially in such a challenging environment for nonprofits.” Cipolla’s leadership in the cultural and conservation fields includes having served as President and CEO of the National also made sure that residents’ favorite activities continued, with some slight alterations. Those who had birthdays were celebrated with parades filled with their friends, family, and Waban community. Puzzles were built, new recipes were developed, and lots of crafts were made! At FFCDC, staff have worked to implement distance learning via teleconference. Students are able to continue accessing FFCDC supports remotely, ensuring their developmental, social, and behavioral progress is not hindered. While the school remains closed, some members of the FFCDC staff have redeployed to Waban’s residential programs to provide support to direct care workers.

more than 5 million Americans, including 28,000 in Maine living with Alzheimer’s and their more than 69,000 caregivers. The Alzheimer’s Association, Maine Chapter is offering free virtual support groups and education programs accessible to all living with dementia and their care partners. The Alzheimer’s Association offers support groups that create a safe, confidential, supportive environment or community and a chance for families impacted by Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias to develop mutual support and social relationships. “During this challenging time, it’s critical that caregivers of those living with Alzheimer’s and dementia continue to have access to our resources,” explains Drew Wyman, Executive Director of the Alzheimer’s Association, Maine Chapter. “The COVID-19 crisis is altering the way we deliver our programs, but the needs of caregivers cannot be put on hold. The virtual support groups enable us to provide necessary information and offer an opportunity for caregivers to connect and get the support they need amid the current crisis.” Upcoming support groups include: Virtual Caregiver Support Group: Maine Statewide;

Telephone Caregiver Support Groups; Virtual LGBTQ Caregiver Support Group; Virtual Caregiver Support Group: Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD); Virtual Support Group: Grief, Loss, and Life After Dementia. In addition to regularly scheduled education programs covering a variety of topics, The Alzheimer’s Association, Maine Chapter is offering an August 2020 Dementia Lunch & Learn Series. This free education series provides a chance for community members to learn more about Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. Topics include stages and risk factors, identifying the warning signs, current research, and effective communication techniques. The program provides opportunities to connect with other community members and learn about the services pro-

vided by the Alzheimer’s Association, Maine Chapter. Alison Russell, Manager of Education and Volunteers at the Alzheimer’s Association, Maine Chapter explains the reason for the series, “COVID19 adds an additional layer of complexity to dementia. We acknowledge that people are working hard to adapt to such challenges, and we want to make education programs as convenient as possible for families. The series covers a variety of topics and people can attend as few or as many that suits their schedule and interest.” The Alzheimer’s Association’s free, 24/7, helpline (1-800-272-3900) offers support for caregivers and families impacted by Alzheimer’s and all other dementia.

$52M for Maine Safety Net Hospitals WASHINGTON, D.C. U.S. Senators Susan Collins and Angus King announced that safety net hospitals in Maine have been awarded a total of $52,175,271 to support their efforts to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. Safety net hospitals treat a disproportionate number of Medicaid beneficiaries, providing large amounts of uncompensated care, and tend to operate on thin profit margins. “Safety net hospital workers are the backbone of Maine’s health care system, providing cost-effective primary and preventive care that is crucial to the wellbeing of low-income individuals and families throughout our state,” said Senator Collins and King in a joint statement. “We welcome this investment, which will help to ensure that safety net hospitals can continue to care for patients amid the COVID-19

outbreak.” Qualifying hospitals will have: A Medicare Disproportionate Payment Percentage (DPP) of 20.2 percent or greater; Average Uncompensated Care per bed of $25,000 or more. For example, a hospital with 100 beds would need to provide $2,500,000 in Uncompensated Care in a year to meet this requirement; Profitability of 3 percent or less, as reported to CMS in its most recently filed Cost Report. Recipients will receive a minimum distribution of $5 million and a maximum distribution of $50 million. This funding was awarded through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Provider Relief Fund in the CARES Act and will be sent directly to qualifying hospitals via direct deposit.

$1M to Help Combat Opioid Crisis WASHINGTON, D.C. U.S. Senators Susan Collins and Angus King announced recently that the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency has been awarded a total of $931,880 to combat the opioid abuse crisis throughout the state. This funding was awarded through the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS Office) Anti-Heroin Task Force (AHTF) Program. “While we continue our ef-

forts to respond to the COVID19 pandemic, we must not relent in our efforts to address the ongoing opioid crisis, which affects far too many families in Maine,” said Senators Collins and King in a joint statement. “This important funding will help to ensure that Maine’s law enforcement officers have the resources they need to help keep our communities safe.” AHTF provides three years of funding directly to See OPIOIDS page 27...

York Hospital Postpones Annual Hancock Classic Fundraiser YORK York Hospital Announced Postponement of the 5th Annual Hancock Classic Fundraiser for Healthy Aging. It was supposed to be a magical summer evening under a tent on the lawn of The ViewPoint Hotel overlooking the Nubble Lighthouse. For the fifth year in a row, hundreds of guests were planning to gather to celebrate the achievements of the Hancock Family Fund for Healthy Aging at York Hospital and raise funds to bolster the hospital’s efforts to care for our aging community. Despite their best laid plans, with the arrival of the novel coronavirus COVID-19 this spring, hospital leadership and the Hancock family decided to postpone this year’s fundraiser to July 29, 2021. Interim York Hospital co-CEOs, Robin LaBonte and Dr. Jennifer Cutts added, “We are very fortunate to have the support of the Hancock family and their extended network of relatives and friends. Through their generosity and support from our wonderful community, in 2019 York Hospital was able to provide seniors in our service area with 20,028 rides to medical appointments and prescription deliveries, an average of 40 house calls a month, and we delivered more than 4,400 meals to seniors in their homes. The funds raised by the annual Hancock Classic help us sustain this important work and fulfill our mission as an independent nonprofit community hospital.” Healthy aging is a serious concern for seacoast area residents, as Maine ranks #1 out of the 50 American states with the largest number of residents 65 and older (20.6%), followed closely by Florida (20.5%). The Hancock Family Fund for Healthy Aging supports important in-demand programs such as Transportation, Meal and Prescription Delivery, and the Center for Older Adults House Calls Program to help

address these social determinants of health and improve the overall health and well-being of older adults in the community. The Hancock family has helped the hospital raise over $150,000 to support these programs and services. For more information about these programs, or to make a donation to The Hancock Family Fund for Healthy Aging, contact York Hospital Community Relations at 207-351-2385 or email info@yorkhospital.com.

Red Cross Calls for Volunteers for Busy Hurricane Season PORTLAND “Emergencies don’t stop and neither does the work of the Red Cross. We’re working to make sure we can provide critical help in times of disaster,” said James Segerson, regional disaster officer for the Northern New England Region of the Red Cross. “Train now to be a Red Cross volunteer and answer the call to help people in urgent need.” The Red Cross needs thousands of volunteers nationally to be ready this disaster season, given the predictions around hurricane and wildfire seasons and the added complexities of COVID-19. The Northern New England Region is seeking additional volunteers to join the ranks of its disaster volunteers who deploy to major disasters. “Red Crossers from all walks of life come together and put their strengths toward the shared mission of helping people through their darkest time,” said Dr. John Devlin of Cape Elizabeth, a volunteer who has deployed numerous times, including in the COVID-19 environment. “It’s incredibly fulfilling. You get back more than you give.” The Atlantic hurricane season, which runs from

The Weekly Sentinel (877) 646-8448 www.TheWeeklySentinel.com

June 1 through Nov. 30, is off to a busy start. Two tropical storms, Arthur and Bertha, developed before the official start date. Following were Tropical Storms Cristobal, Dolly, Edouard, Fay, Gonzalo and now Isaias – the earliest “I” storm on record – and Hurricane Hanna. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Climate Prediction Center in May had forecasted a likely range of 13 to 19 named storms, with six to 10 possibly becoming hurricanes, for the 2020 season. There is a special need for volunteers to support sheltering efforts. Because of COVID-19, the Red Cross is placing those needing a safe place to stay in emergency hotel lodging when possible. If hotel stays aren’t possible, then the Red Cross will open traditional shelters. To help keep people safe, they have put in place additional precautions and developed special training for their workforce. Volunteers are needed to help staff shelter reception, registration, feeding, dormitory, information collection and other vital tasks. If you are an RN, LPN, LVN, APRN, NP, EMT, paramedic, MD/DO or PA with an active, current and unencumbered license, the Red Cross needs that support. Volunteers are needed in shelters to help assess people’s health. Daily observation and health screening for COVID-19-like illness

among shelter residents may also be required. RNs supervise all clinical tasks. Roles are also available for certified nursing assistants, certified home health aides, student nurses and medical students. Duties could include assisting with activities of daily living, personal assistance services, providing health education and helping to replace medications, durable medical equipment or consumable medical supplies. For more information, visit www.redcross.org or call 207-523-5107. The American Red Cross shelters, feeds and provides emotional support to victims of disasters; supplies about 40% of the nation’s blood; teaches skills that save lives; provides international humanitarian aid; and supports military members and their families. The Red Cross is a not-for-profit organization that depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to perform its mission. For more information, visit www.redcross.org/NNE.

“Virtual” AIDS Walk/5K Run OGUNQUIT Every May, through the generosity of sponsors, volunteers, and the town of Ogunquit, the Southern Maine AIDS Walk/5K Run has also brought people together in support of one another. This year, however, due to the COVID-19 crisis and guidelines for physical distancing, the AIDS Walk/5K Run originally scheduled for May 2, has been changed to virtual walk/5K run that will take place on Saturday, August 15. For those already registered for the AIDS Walk, before it went virtual, you are automatically registered for the Virtual Walk. To sign up or support a friend or team today, go to www. peabodycenter.org/aidswalk/. Participants can walk/run virtually anytime between August 15 at 9 a.m. and August 16 at 3 p.m. Send a screenshot of your virtual 5K walk/run on a walking/running app by 3 p.m. on August 16 to qualify for all kinds of cool prizes!

Since 2009, this event has not only raised critical funding and awareness, but also brought people together in support of one another. Many people choose to walk in memory of a loved one they have lost to AIDS, in honor of a friend still fighting, or as a way to educate their children about an important issue that affects our community. Until then, although we are separated by distance this year, we remain connected by cause.

BUSINESS & FINANCE Next Financial Steps When Relief Programs End NATIONWIDE As the government debates additional aid for Americans impacted by the pandemic, many of the initial relief programs have expired or will do so in the coming weeks, leaving many people seeking additional solutions to stay afloat. “While the government may approve new aid, it’s impossible to say what form it will take or how long it will last,” said Michael Sullivan, a personal financial consultant with Take Charge America, a national nonprofit credit counseling and debt management agency. “That’s why it’s critical to know your options beyond government assistance and prepare for the day when that relief runs out.” Sullivan offers the following tips: Stay on unemployment: Regardless of what the feds do, keep filing unemployment claims if you’re eligible. This way, you’ll receive whatever amount your state pays, and you’ll remain eligible for any

potential retroactive or new changes made at the federal level. Whittle your budget: Zero in on necessities such as rent/ mortgage, food, transportation and insurance, while eliminating as many non-essential items as you can to free up cash for payments. Dip into your emergency savings: If you’ve been able to hold off from using emergency savings, now is the time to use it. But dip in slowly, especially if you anticipate an extended cash crunch. Focus on paying for essentials like rent/mortgage and covering the power and water bills. Seek alternative assistance: Explore other assistance programs such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which could free up funds for other bills. Also, research possible aid through your city or community, as well as food banks or nonprofit agencies that provide assistance to those in need. Ask for more help: Even

as federal and state mandates on forbearance, evictions, shutoffs and other actions expire, creditors, lenders, landlords and utilities may still be open to additional hardship help. Ask about possible payment plans or partial payments until your situation improves. Consider a retirement withdrawal: Under the CARES Act, you can withdraw up to $100,000 from your retirement savings without an early withdrawal penalty. This may be an option if you’re really strapped for cash, but it is risky. You will have to pay back whatever you withdraw within three years or pay income tax on it.

Waldorf School Offers Scholarships to Children of Essential Workers ELIOT Seacoast Waldorf School’s Board of Trustees announced that scholarships will be available to new grade students whose parents’ work is considered essential during the COVID-19 pandemic including, but not limited to, first responders, healthcare workers, doctors and nurses, shipyard employees, retail, grocery, food service and restaurant employees, transportation employees, custodians and janitorial staff. The winners will each receive an award worth $7,000 applicable towards one year’s tuition at Seacoast Waldorf School. “These scholarships are our way of saying thank you to all of the essential workers who have helped the community in the midst of this trying time,” said Dennis Drennan, teacher, parent and board member at Seacoast Waldorf School. “The Seacoast Waldorf School faculty and staff have been working diligently throughout the summer to put together a plan for the students to return to school in September,” said Jacqui Boyko. “Our plan represents how we can welcome all of our students back into our care safely and

responsibly. These guidelines are a culmination of hours of planning, countless meetings, recommendations and requirements from various public health organizations, and a healthy dose of common sense. What is not represented in these guidelines, but what our students will experience when they return to school, is the flexibility, creativity, ingenuity, and tireless efforts of our teachers. They have gone above and beyond their normal call of duty during these summer months to prepare outdoor classrooms, reconfigure indoor classrooms, become Google Classroom gurus, and so much more.

We are so grateful for their dedication to the wonderful students and families here at the school.” Those interested in applying for one of the scholarships for the 2020-2021 school year can simply write a letter or email stating your essential profession, and why you are interested in having your child attend Seacoast Waldorf School. Letters can be mailed directly to the school at: Seacoast Waldorf School, 403 Harold Dow Highway, Eliot, ME 03903 or emailed to admissions@seacoastwaldorfschool.org.

emergency medical supplies by allowing states to issue special permits for overweight vehicles and loads. These permits are allowed during most emergencies and disasters, but pandemics were not included in current law. Other highlights of the package that will benefit Maine specifically include $19.5 million for the state’s airports, at least $10 million for homeless assistance grants, and at least $10 million for Community Development Block Grants (CDBG). The flexible nature of CDBG grants will allow local governments to make investments to support infectious disease response such as rehabilitation of a community facility to establish an infectious disease treatment clinic and make home modifications for seniors enabling them to remain safely in their homes. “The United States is in the midst of a crisis that is unprecedented in our recent history. To fight the COVID-19 pandemic, additional resources are vital to help support communities facing increased demand for services and bolster programs that serve the most vulnerable members of our society,” said Senator Collins. “I am pleased that we were able to reach this bipartisan agreement to make these substantial investments that will help protect the health and improve the lives of the American people.”

WASHINGTON, D.C. U.S. Senator Susan Collins (R-ME), the Chairman of the Transportation, Housing, and Urban Development Appropriations Subcommittee, announced that the Senate voted 96-0 to pass a $340 billion supplemental appropriations bill to help protect the health and well-being of Americans during the COVID-19 pandemic. The legislation includes a section she co-authored directing $48.5 billion to support transportation and housing programs. Senator Collins was also successful in including a provision that was requested by MaineHousing, New Beginnings Inc. in Lewiston, and other providers that serve homeless youth in the state. This provision will benefit youth homeless providers across the country. Last year, Senator Collins secured a $3.35 million Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program grant for Maine. Organizations expressed concern, however, that they would not be able to complete the program’s requirements before the deadline of September 30, while simultaneously responding to the increased demand for services due to COVID-19. Senator Collins included language in the supplemental appropriations bill extending the deadline by one year. Senator Collins also included a provision that will help keep grocery store shelves stocked and speed the supply of

Stephen E. Gray, 57 NORTH BERWICK – Stephen E. Gray, lifelong resident of North Berwick passed away August 8, 2020 at his home surrounded by his loved ones. He was born in Rochester, NH, June 22, 1963, the son of Elliott and Virginia (Fiel) Gray. Steve was a 1981 graduate of Noble High School and earned his Eagle Scout Rank. During those years, his father trained him in the Plumbing and Heating field. He then attended SMVTI. Over the years, he worked for Elliott G. Gray & Sons Plumbing and Heating, Mapes and Downeast Energy until fulfilling his longtime dream of owning his own successful business, Steve Gray Plumbing and Heating. Steve was a member of the Yorkshire Lodge #179 AF & AM and KORA Temple Shrine. Steve was well-respected for his quality of work and the kindness he showed. He was active in his community; serving for the Water District, volunteering and supporting organizations in his town like the Historical Society, local sports teams, and especially his community at Bauneg Beg Lake. Always generous, his business sponsored several events over the years including sponsoring a team at the Waban Golf Tournament and supporting the Amy Walk/Run for autism. Steve had an impact on many throughout his life, but his heart was at the lake. He served on the

board of the Bauneg Beg Lake Association, Dam Committee, Water Quality, BBLA clothes manager, tent rentals, bottle returns, yard sale manager and fireworks presenter for the July 4 celebrations. Many will miss seeing him on his pontoon boat which he so loved. Steve met his wife Sandra at the lake where both families had camps, and their wedding took place lakeside at their home where they have happily resided for 26 years. Here is where they enjoyed hosting many gatherings for family and friends over the years, including their annual 4th of July celebration at which Steve was so thrilled to orchestrate a beautiful fireworks display. He was the master of the grill at all events. Steve was a wonderful family man who enjoyed special time spent with his children, grandchildren, siblings and extended family. The youngest of five children, he learned his wit from the many adventures they had growing up in a large family. Steve enjoyed golfing, watching the Patriots at the mancave on the lake, and in his younger days he participated in a dart league for many years. Lots of weekend nights were spent just hanging out with family, friends and neighbors who also lived on the lake. Every Friday night, Steve and Sandra looked forward to their ritual of dinner out at That Place in Ogunquit with special friends. In the last few years, trips to Illinois, South Carolina and Ithaca, NY, to visit family and friends were especially memorable for Steve and Sandra. Steve was pre-deceased by his parents, Elliott and Virginia, nephew Scott Gray and sisterin-law, Patty Gray. His presence will be forever missed by his wife, Sandra (Carlson) Gray; three sons, Richard Maskell and wife Amanda, Ryan Lantagne and wife Lauren, James Lavine and wife Nina; eight grandchildren,

Rhawn and Mary (Woodward) Rhawn. The youngest of four children, she attended high school in Beverly, NJ. She majored in Textiles and Clothing Design at the University of Rhode Island, where she met her husband, Allen I. Renner. They wed in 1968; Becky graduated from URI in 1969. Becky loved the ocean, the beach, and, most of all, sea breezes. She spent her childhood summers on Long Beach Island on the Jersey Shore. She was a selfdescribed “tom boy” and “jock”

In her 60s, Becky took up stand-up paddle boarding and could often be found at Long Sands Beach riding the waves on her board. After college, Becky taught home economics in San Antonio, Texas while her husband was stationed there in the Army. After they relocated to the Seacoast area, Becky owned and operated “The Crafty Needle” sewing shop in Dover. She was an accomplished seamstress who designed and made many of her own clothes in the 1960s and ‘70s. She will be remembered for her varied sartorial creations, ranging from tailored suits to Halloween costumes to eighthgrade prom dresses, and even her daughter’s wedding gown. From 1982 to 2005, Becky and her husband Allen owned and operated clothing stores in Ogunquit and Kennebunkport, first “Sneaks” and later “This Is It.” Becky applied her eye for See RENNERS page 22...

Bernier-Gelinas FUNERAL HOME

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

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

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

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

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

...RENNER from page 21 design and knowledge of fabrics to buying, marketing, and merchandising, while Allen focused on the financial and logistical side of the business. It was a true partnership. After a fire in May of 1982 ravaged the center of Ogunquit, destroying their businesses, Becky and Allen, with partner Billy Leonard, rebuilt the Ogunquit Pharmacy building (which also housed the clothing store) and reopened the following season. Becky was energetic, organized, and always on the go. These traits served her well when she volunteered in her community. Becky was one of the founders of the South Berwick Strawberry Festival and part of the Organizing Committee in the 1970s and ‘80s. In her role as festival organizer, Becky was tireless and committed, and South Berwick became known as the place to be the last Saturday in June, attracting over 10,000 visitors who came for homemade strawberry shortcake, talented craftspeople, live music, and children’s activities. Becky also contributed to the festival artistically, designing silk-screened logos for festival Tshirts and tote bags in the early 1980s. After moving to York in

1988, Becky continued to volunteer her time at the First Parish Church in York, where she and her husband, Allen, were both members. Becky helped to organize the annual “Attic Treasures” yard sale and was an integral part of the church’s annual wreath decorating fundraiser. Becky was an active member of the York Garden Club, where she taught workshops on artistic floral arrangement and won numerous awards for her unique floral and garden designs, including the Barbara Black Award for Artistic Excellence in Design in 2019. Her gardens were featured in the publication In the Garden with Old York Garden Club: What to Grow and How to do It (2009), on open garden tours, and were an inspiration for many budding gardeners. Becky’s collection of unusual azaleas and rhododendrons and her enormous tree peony impressed visitors to her home and brought her joy to the very end. In addition to gardening, Becky had a lifelong love of photography. Her photos were periodically displayed for sale at the York Art Association and the Barn Gallery in Ogunquit and she won many awards for her photographic renditions of landscapes and architectural details. She particularly enjoyed taking

photographs while traveling in Portugal and Italy with her husband and friends. Becky was predeceased by her husband of 35 years, Allen Renner, who passed away in 2003, and her sister Sally (Rhawn) Wilkins. She is survived by her two daughters, Kristen Renner Swann of York, and Lindsay Renner Schwartz of Stow, MA; sons-in-law Kyle Swann and Jason Schwartz; grandsons, Clyde, Callen, and Cedric Swann, and Jacob and Ethan Schwartz; brothers Edward Rhawn of Louisville, KY, and William “Hank” Rhawn of Siesta Key, FL. Becky’s family would like to thank her caregivers from Home Instead for their loving and compassionate care and companionship over these past three years, as well as Hospice of Southern Maine. A celebration of Becky’s life will be held in the late summer or early fall (date to be decided). In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the National Audubon Society (www.audubon. org), or the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (www.aspca.org), two causes dear to Becky’s heart.

Arundel Conservation Trust Celebrates Heroes

Left to right: The Rush Family receives the Arundel Conservation Trust’s special 2020 Volunteers of the Year Award presented by Tanja Schoenbrod, ACT Trailmaster, and Joan Hull, ACT President (Molly Rush, Tanja Schoenbrod, Joan Hull, Catherine Rush, Little Big Sam, David Rush, Lila Rush, and Sam Rush); Bud Danis and Dave Jourdan are awarded the 2020 Volunteer of the Year Award; Roger Taschereau, Arundel Director of Public Works, receives the 2020 Community Hero Award.

ARUNDEL Arundel Conservation Trust (ACT) celebrated its second Annual Meeting in March at the Arundel Cottage Preserve. It was a joyous celebration of community and the progress made on ACT’s trails. Over 50 attendees gathered to hear the latest news from ACT and enjoy refreshments while getting to know each other (this was before social distancing). Reports were given highlighting the many accomplishments throughout the past year including: the opening of ACT’s first trail – Welch Woods on River Road; dramatic increases in membership and volunteers; Federal recognition of ACT as an independent nonprofit orga-

nization; completion of the first trail connecting the town hall property on Limerick Road to the Eastern Trail; and results of fundraising efforts showing a solid financial standing. Additionally, over the past year ACT decreased the original loan to buy the Limerick Road ACT property of $175,000 to a current balance of $45,000. Exciting plans for 2020 were unveiled including completing additional trails on ACT’s Limerick Road property, investigations into the development of specialized biking trails, and the hope to improve access to the Cluff Preserve on Sinnott Road. The highlight of the evening was the awards of Commu-

MaineCF’s York County Committee Awards More Than $71,000 in Grants

YORK COUNTY The York County Committee of the Maine Community Foundation has awarded $71,785 in grants to 13 nonprofit organizations or communities. Grant recipients include: Seeds of Hope Neighborhood Center to offer an overnight warming center in Biddeford from December 2020 to March 2021; White Pine Programs to provide equal access to nature connection for people of all genders, beliefs and backgrounds; York County Community College to combat food insecurity on campus and in surrounding communities by cre-

ating a free mobile food market that will visit YCCC monthly. The York County Fund is a permanent endowment that supports projects and nonprofits that strengthen communities in the county. Applications go through the foundation’s Community Building Grant Program and are reviewed by a committee of local leaders. The next proposal deadline is February 15, 2021. Application, guidelines and a complete list of recent grants can be found at www.mainecf.org. The York County Fund is built through donations from the community. If you would

nity Hero and Volunteers of the Year. Roger Taschereau, Arundel’s Public Works Director, received the ACT Community Hero award for his support and help in building the connection to the Eastern Trail. By coordinating town maintenance trips on the Eastern Trail with ACT’s trail building schedule, he was able to facilitate deliveries of building supplies to the site that saved hours of backbreaking work for volunteers. He also was a superb resource regarding appropriate supplies and building techniques. Whenever a new building challenge surfaced, Roger and his crew were there to help find a solution. ACT and the Town of Arundel recognize

they are very lucky to have him as part of the community. The first of our Volunteer of the Year awards went to Bud Danis and Dave Jourdan. They both head up the trail building efforts of the Kennebunkport Conservation Trust and have taught members at ACT everything they know about trail building. They have spent countless hours teaching, mentoring, and building trails everyday. Their help and support has been invaluable from the beginning. The second volunteer award went to the Rush Family headed by Catherine and Sam Rush, and their four children David (14), Molly (10), Lila (7), and “Big Little Sam” (4). They were some of the first volunteers

and have been on every trail building crew since. From clearing brush, raking, toting lumber to screwing treads, boardwalks, and bridges, they are some of the most dedicated and hardest workers there. Special recognition was given of Boy Scout Jacob Pisani of Troop 330 who planned and supervised the building of a 40foot bridge over a stream to help connect to the Eastern Trail as his Eagle Scout project. The evening ended with a video showcasing ACT’s many events throughout the year as well as action shots of the mighty Trailblazers volunteer crews building trails. To see the video and learn more about ACT, visit www.arundeltrust.org.

Historical Society Awarded Corning Foundation Grant KENNEBUNKPORT The Corning Incorporated Foundation has made an Employee Vibrant Community Grant of $1,000 to the Kennebunkport Historical Society. Arundel resident Denise Stevens, who works at Corning as a cell culture lab technician, has volunteered for the society since 2014. Stevens applied for the one-time grant in January. “It would be impossible for the Kennebunkport Historical Society to deliver its programs and services without the support of our loyal volunteers, members, and donors,” said Executive Administrator Kirsten Camp. “This grant from the Corning Foundation has come at a particularly critical time, as the economic impacts of the pandemic are being felt across our

community. We are extremely grateful that Denise applied for the Employee Vibrant Community Grant on our behalf, and to the Corning Foundation for their support.” The Employee Vibrant Community Grants program began in 2018 as a celebration of Corning Incorporated Foundation’s 65th Anniversary. Due to its success, it became an annual program in 2019. The program encourages employees to nominate eligible non-profit organiza-

tions for a $1,000 grant, which allows the foundation to invest in the non-profit organizations that mean the most to Corning employees. A complete list of the 2020 grant recipients is available at www.corningfoundation.org. In 1952, the Kennebunkport Historical Society was founded to preserve, protect, and present Kennebunkport’s social, cultural, and architectural assets. For more information, visit www.kporths.com or their Facebook page.

Arundel resident and Corning employee Denise Stevens has volunteered at the historical society since 2014. She applied for the $1,000 grant from the Corning Foundation to benefit the society.

~ Hunting & The Outdoors ~ Any-Deer Permit Applications Due August 17 STATEWIDE Deer hunters must apply for the any-deer permit lottery online at https://anydeer.web. maine.gov/online/any_deer_lottery/. There is no application fee to apply for an any-deer permit. To apply for an any-deer permit, you must possess a valid Maine license to hunt big game. You may enter up to three Wildlife Management District choices in order of preference. Applicants with a legal residence outside the United States or Canada cannot apply online. Those wishing to apply will need to contact the Department for help in applying. Maine resident landowners may hunt without a license on their own land if they live on that particular piece of land, the piece of land exceeds 10 acres in size, and the land is used exclusively for agricultural purposes. A landowner whose hunting privilege is under revocation is not eligible to receive an any-deer permit or bonus deer permit. An unlicensed resident landowner may apply for an any-deer permit or bonus deer permit only in the district where his or her qualifying land is located. If an unlicensed landowner is selected

to receive a permit, the permit is valid only on the qualifying land, even if a hunting license is later acquired. In order for a permit to be valid anywhere in a district, a hunting license must be acquired prior to application and that license number used on the application. Those who have a complimentary paraplegic hunting license or are suffering from the loss of, or the permanent loss of use, of both lower extremities or have lost all or part of one or more lower limbs not including a partial foot amputation are entitled to an any-deer permit in the district of their choice in any part of the State open to the taking of antlerless deer. Those who have a complimentary paraplegic hunting license do not need to apply for an any-deer permit. Your license grants you the right to an antlerless deer from any wildlife management district where any-deer permits are allocated. When registering the antlerless deer, use your MOSES ID number as your permit number. Those who do not have a complimentary paraplegic license but qualify under this section must submit a letter signed by

a physician verifying the ambulatory disability. To apply for a bonus deer permit, you must possess a valid Maine license to hunt big game. You may enter one WMD choice in the “bonus deer permit WMD Choice” box. Selection of permit holders will be done by WMD. Permittees will be chosen through chance drawings and will be assigned to a WMD using their preferences as indicated on their application. If you do not want to apply for an any-deer permit, but would like to apply for a bonus deer permit should bonus deer permits be available, designate a WMD choice for a bonus deer permit. To apply for a superpack deer permit (Maine residents only), you must possess a valid Maine resident superpack license. Enter your superpack WMD choices in order of preference. The same application is used to enter the any-deer permit lottery. Note: If you apply for and win a super pack permit you will not be entered in the landowner or regular permit lottery. More information on Superpack License/Permits, go to www.maine.gov/ifw/huntingtrapping/superpack-faq.html.

it works: Visit your local land trust’s website and find the link to the bicen“trail”ial challenge. Then, download the map for each Trust’s featured property; visit all three properties by September 22, The Autumn Equinox. The challenge requires you take a photo of yourself at each preserve and tag @kennebunk_ landtrust, @kportconservation, and @arundelconservation on Instagram; use the hashtag #maine200 and #bicentrailial. If you do not have Instagram, please email your photos to your local land trust. Participants who complete the challenge will be entered into a drawing for a Bicen“trail”ial Swag Bag! The winner will be announced Friday, September 25. Kennebunk Land Trust Director, Sarah Stanley, developed the concept earlier this year and invited the Kennebunkport Conservation Trust and Arundel Conservation Trust to partner together to celebrate the bicentennial. “We may be three towns but we are one community. This challenge represents a fun collaboration, encourages people to opt outside, and celebrates open space that we’ve protected in our community. It’s a wonderful way to celebrate Maine’s bicentennial!” The organizations’ emphasize that it is vital to follow Maine CDC’s recommendations and practice social distancing when visiting a preserve; furthermore, if you are exhibiting symptoms related to COVID-19, or if you have recently been exposed to COVID-19, stay home. Stay at least six feet away from others if visiting a preserve. If you do decide to go for hike, be sure to tell someone where you are going and when you expect to be back and remember to leave no trace. ...OPIOIDS from page 14 state-level law enforcement agencies with multijurisdictional reach and interdisciplinary team structures in states with high per capita rates of primary treatment admissions for heroin, fentanyl, carfentanil, and other opioids.

Senator Lawrence Lauds New Investment in Project to Support Renewable Energy Research

AUGUSTA The University of Maine announced its collaboration with New England Aqua Ventus, LLC, a partnership between Diamond Offshore Wind and RWE Renewables, to develop

UMaine’s floating wind technology demonstration project off the coast of Maine. Senator Mark Lawrence (D-Eliot), who serves as Chair of the Legislature’s Committee on Energy, Utilities and Technology, issued

...REIMELS from page 22 worth Institute of Technology and a Bachelors of Science in Engineering from UMass-Dartmouth. He married his high school sweetheart, Brenda Pollard in 1965. They had two children, Scott and Wendy. They created a warm and loving home in Cape Neddick where they have resided for 48 years. He had a long and distinguished career at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard from 1968-2004, where he mentored many young engineers. Over the course of his career at the Shipyard he donated nine gallons of blood to the American Red Cross After retirement he proudly worked with his son Scott doing carpentry. Tom’s greatest joy was his family. He never missed a game or event for his children and very

few for his grandchildren. He is survived by his wife of nearly 55 years, Brenda; son Scott and wife Jayme and their children, Silas, Sawyer, and Noel; daughter Wendy Bedell and husband Jason and their children, Logan, Hayden, and Regan; brother Robert Reimels and wife Cheri; sister Linda Gordon and husband Rick. Calling hours for family and friends was held on Sunday, August 2 in the Lucas & Eaton Funeral Home, 91 Long Sands Road, York. A Celebration of Life is planned for a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that a donation be made to the Alzheimers Association or the Gathering Place in Kittery. Visit www.lucaseatonfuneralhome. com for updates.

the following statement: “The University of Maine’s partnership with New England Aqua Ventus to develop its floating offshore wind project is incredibly good news for Maine. More than twenty years ago, Maine started significantly investing in research and development at the university level.

Today, we are seeing the fruit of the labor and putting Maine on the map in a way we could never have imagined. Investing in renewable energy is critical to reducing climate change. The Legislature knows this, and we’ve worked hard this past session to find creative ways to support clean energy jobs and develop

energy independence. This announcement of the partnership will ensure that Maine continues to be a leader in creative ways to combat climate change, while supporting local jobs and industries.” For more information, go to https://composites.umaine. edu/offshorewind/.

back into the wild. Since then, Captain John updates the Center daily and his updates and photos are shared are shared via social media as this story has warmed the hearts of so many during this trying time. To have a fisherman be so connected to the environment he is fishing is so special. This bird chose John and they have shared a friendship over 16 years. He knows her as an individual, something that is rare for us humans and wildlife. In the hustle and bustle of our modern world, this relationship is a true and beautiful one and the Center is honored to be able to be a small part of it. John knew

that Red Eye was facing a challenging injury, and to be so kind and compassionate as to think of bringing her her favorite treat… we should all be so lucky to have a friend like that. As the largest and one of the only wildlife centers in the region, Center for Wildlife admits over 2,000 injured wild animals, fields 15,000 phone calls on its Wildlife Assistance Hotline, and presents over 400 environmental education programs to over 20,000 community members annually, with no state or federal funding.

...GULL from page 1 reiki treatments. After some time, the clinic staff took the bootie and with some physical therapy began to see that the foot was not as stiff! After more PT, homeopathics, good food and tub time, she began to put weight on her foot and after moving her to an outdoor enclosure, she was observed getting around tentatively. More PT followed and Red Eye began to do her little run with just a little limp. It was then decided that she would do her best healing where she was comfortable instead of under stress in a foreign environment and the Center was honored to join Captain John aboard his lobster boat as he released her
