Flag Stars Given New Life NATIONWIDE Stars For Our Troops, Inc. is a group of patriotic volunteers who collect retired, tattered U.S. flags to help continue their legacy via the embroidered stars. Stars can be given to anyone that is a veteran, currently serving, or a first responder. Each star is accompanied by a note that says, “I am part of our American flag that has

flown over the U.S.A. I can no longer fly. The sun and winds have caused me to become tattered and torn. Please carry me as a reminder that you are not forgotten.” In June 14, 1923, the American Legion and 68 other patriotic organizations create the National Flag Code as a way to handle the American flag – how to display, when to

fly, where to fly, how to fly, how to dispose, etc. According to the code, flying flags that are ripped or faded is considered disrespectful. At that time, the flag was created of natural material, and collected by the local veteran organizations when it needed to be retired. It was either burned See STARS page 6...

The restored, 6,000-square foot, 18th-century apple barn was home for 14 years to Cattail Farm Antiques. In April, 2019, Safe Haven bought the barn and adjoining carriage house and 1930s farmhouse for $650,000 from the previous owners, who moved their business to New

Governor Mills Extends State of Civil Emergency AUGUSTA Governor Mills extended the State of Civil Emergency for thirty days through October 1. The Governor’s decision to extend the emergency is in line with nearly every other state in the nation which have ongoing emergency declarations, according to the National Governors Association. The state of New Hampshire renewed its state of emergency for the eighth time last Friday, August 28. “Thanks to the efforts of

Maine people, who have largely abided by public health measures intended to keep us all safe, our state has been relatively successful in mitigating the spread of COVID-19 in the last few months. The outbreaks which we hear about in other states every day can sometimes feel far away from the relative safety of our state, but recent events prove that one little match can spark a fire that may be very difficult to put out,” said Governor Mills. “Pandemic fatigue is set-

Action on Marine Diesel Engines KENNEBUNKPORT At a press conference with the Maine Lobstermen’s Association, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Andrew Wheeler finalized amendments to the national marine diesel engine program to address the lack of available certified Tier 4 marine diesel engines for use in certain highspeed commercial vessels. This final rule provides much needed regulatory relief to boat builders

and manufacturers of lightweight and high-power marine diesel engines. Specifically, this action will benefit America’s hardworking lobster fishermen and pilot boat captains, who rely on these engines for safe and productive operations in their high-speed commercial vessels. “This relief gives boat builders and operators flexibility to meet EPA standards during the next several years,” said EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler. “Lobstermen and pilot boat captains are at a particular disadvantage when changes in emission rules occur, because the larger market for diesel engines can’t build new models quickly enough for marine users – putting these operators in potential violation of pollution rules through no fault of their own.” See ENGINE page 27...

ting in, but we cannot let down our guard, especially as some of our schools and universities bring students back on campus and back into the classroom. Let’s stay focused on the end game: keeping everyone safe and healthy and protected from this dangerous virus.” A State of Civil Emergency allows Maine to draw down critical Federal resources and to deploy all available tools to respond to and contain COVID19. This is Governor Mills’ sixth extension of the State of Civil Emergency. Under Maine law, Proclamations of Civil Emergencies may be issued in thirty day increments. As of last Tuesday, August 25, adjusted for population, Maine ranks 2nd lowest in the nation in terms of positive cases; 6th lowest in deaths; 2nd lowest in patients ever-hospitalized out of the 36 states reporting; and 6th highest in the percentage of people who have recovered out of the 45 states reporting.

Through the BIC® Stationery Recycling Program, consumers can now send in all brands of pens, markers, mechanical pencils, highlighters, glue sticks, watercolor dispensers and paint sets to be recycled for free. The program is also collecting the soft, flexible plastic packaging that some writing instruments are packaged in. Participation is easy: sign up on the TerraCycle program page at www.terracycle.com/bic and mail in the used items using a prepaid shipping label. Once collected, the waste is cleaned and melted into hard plastic that is remolded to make new recycled products. The BIC® Stationery Recycling Program is open to any interested individual, school, office or community organization. BIC and TerraCycle began partnering in 2011 to collect and recycle used stationery products in Europe. A similar program was launched in Australia and New Zealand last year. The program has now come to the U.S. For more information, visit www.terracycle.com or www. bicworld.com.

...STARS from page 1 or buried by protocol. Now flags are made of synthetic material that melts instead of burns, requires an excessively hot fire, and produces toxic fumes. Many retirement ceremonies simply bury the flag instead. The Stars For Our Troops project offers another option – They take a portion of the highly-honored flag, wash it pure, and gives it a new life. Hundreds of thousands of stars have been distributed to those that defended them. Requests are received from our military serving overseas, veteran hospitals and nursing homes, boy and girl scout troops, church groups, schools, colleges, therapists helping with PTSD, commanders and generals, veteran organizations, etc. – in order to show their appreciation to the gifted. If you are interested in collecting flags, making or sharing stars, or donating to the cause, the 501(c)3 charitable organization can be contacted at stars4troopspkgs@aol.com or 1-518-235-1558.

like an external hard drive. Over time, both companies have expanded their offerings. Acronis now offers cloud backup, and Carbonite can do local backups. Both programs require you to purchase a premium version however. Either program should work to backup your photos. If you use Carbonite, they will be stored online, and you can access them from any internet connected computer (in addition to your cell phone or tablet with the carbonite app) If you use Acronis, your photos will be stored on a local backup drive, and you might need Acronis installed on both computers in order to copy the photos from the backup to the computer. I hope this helps with your backup. Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, When my computer was not well, I took it to a commercial shop to be fixed. They asked if I had done a backup and I said no, because I didn’t know how. After charging me for an external hard drive, they did the backup on the hard drive. I have the drive but I have never looked on it and my question is: Should I use this hard drive to do a backup and if so, what do I need to do. Thank you so much for all you do, Wanda Dear Wanda, Yes, you should use the external hard drive to do occasional backups. I would suggest that you get an easy to use backup program like Acronis True Image to use with your external hard drive. Simply install Acronis, connect your external hard drive and use the program to backup your entire PC to the external drive. It is really pretty easy. When you start Acronis, you will see a window with “Entire PC” already selected for you. Just click on “Select Destination”, click to select your external hard drive, then click the “Back up now” button in the lower-right corner of the window. In the future, you (or the computer shop) can use that backup to access specific files, or to restore your entire computer. Elizabeth

~ News ~ Sen. Collins Speaks at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard’s Graduation KITTERY U.S. Senator Susan Collins provided the keynote remarks at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard’s (PNSY) 2020 Apprentice and Worker Skills Progression Program graduation. The ceremony was arranged as a “Drive-In,” with the audience socially distanced in their vehicles. It was attended by approximately 300 PNSY graduates and their families. “Portsmouth Naval Shipyard’s inspiring history, from the days of sail to the age of the atom, is your inheritance.

Your skill and commitment will help ensure that the brave men and women of our submarine force have the best possible boats to defend our nation and to return home safely to their families and communities,” Senator Collins continued. “Thank you for your service and congratulations!” Portsmouth Naval Shipyard is one of the largest employers in the Seacoast with more than 7,000 workers.

The shipyard partners with York County Community College and Great Bay Community College to provide employees with

We are filled with gratitude by our community’s generosity, confidence, kindness and action. Your support of York Hospital these past several months has been a critical factor in our ability to keep our community safe and strong. Providing safe, trusted, quality care to our patients is the most important thing we do. As a community hospital, our patients are our families, friends, neighbors, colleagues and fellow citizens. We are writing to reassure you that York Hospital’s values remain deeply rooted—in the health, safety, comfort and care of the patients we serve.

We are eager and ready to safely provide the care you need now. We urge all our patients to seek care when needed, whether for a routine checkup that was delayed while sheltering in place, or something more concerning that was also put off and now requires more immediate attention. Please don’t delay making an appointment with your provider, either in the office or as a virtual visit via telephone or video conference if appropriate for your care.

York County Audubon Presents “The Amazing Restoration of Maine’s Seabirds” YORK COUNTY By the middle of the 20th century, the populations of many species of seabirds in the Gulf of Maine had been decimated. Puffins had last nested on Eastern Egg Rock in 1885 and terns in 1936. In 1973, National Audubon started a program to reintroduce and establish the Maine breeding grounds for these species, led by seabird visionary Steve Kress. In 2019, forty-five years later, Steve retired and turned over the program to new

leadership. The program has proved exceptionally successful. The population of Atlantic Puffins has grown to more than 1,000 nesting pairs on five coastal Maine islands, and nesting colonies have been restored for over 40,000 other seabirds. Furthermore, the restoration techniques developed in Maine have now been used to bring back more than 50 species of seabirds around the world, many critically endangered. But the work

is far from done, as these populations continue to face dramatic new challenges. On Tuesday, September 15, at 7 p.m., Dr. Donald Lyons, who now leads Audubon’s seabird programs in Maine, will share the latest information on the health of our seabird populations, and the outlook going forward. Dr. Lyons is a Director of Conservation Science for the National Audubon Society, and has spent his career in work directly

Socially Distant Summer Drive-In Movie Series

KITTERY Prescott Park Arts Festival (PPAF) continues its annual summer movie tradition with a drive-in movie series, bringing classic films and newer releases to the community three nights a week, sponsored by WentworthDouglass Hospital. This series is offered Mondays at Wentworth-Douglass Hospital Pease campus in Portsmouth and on Fridays and Saturdays at Blue Mermaid and Tributary Brewing Company in Kittery. Under its long-standing tradition of accessibility, PPAF can host up 40-50 cars at either venue at a suggested donation of $25 per car, but if an attendee finds that suggestion a barrier to entry, they can donate what they can, even if that’s simply their presence at the movie. Blue Mermaid and Tributary Brewing approached the festival about partnering on a drive-in movie series. Wentworth-Douglass, as long-time

sponsor of Monday night movies in the park, was on board and fully supportive, and from there the three-night per week movie series took form. “Making the decision to cancel our 2020 season was devastating for the Board and the staff. We felt like it was the right decision for the safety of our community, but we immediately began brainstorming ways we could still engage the community in a safe way. Movies for us were the easiest and most nostalgic thing we could do, especially with a small staff, and certainly the safest. Wentworth-Douglass, as both a partner and a sponsor, and Blue Mermaid and Tributary Brewing, have been amazing to work with and have really helped to engage a broad audience of seacoast residents,” stated PPAF’s new Executive Director Courtney Perkins.

Marginal Way Preservation Recognizes New Leadership

OGUNQUIT The Marginal Way Preservation Fund, a 501(c)3 charitable organization, is proud to celebrate and honor the dedicated ten-year tenure of President and Chair of the Board, Paul Breen, and the talented, retiring Executive Director, Jeanne Roche, for their loyal and impactful service. The Board also announced new Board leadership and a new Executive Director to begin on September 14. At its recent Board meeting, Paul was named President Emeritus of the Board and was honored at a reception at the home of Barbara and Richard O’Leary. Paul has been President and Chair of the Marginal Way Preservation Fund since its inception ten years ago. He is responsible for leading the Board and growing the foundation from an endowment of $20,000 to over 1 million dollars. Paul was instrumental in the design and selection of the site of the Plaques on the Marginal Way and the Plaque Program continues to be a substantial source for the endowment’s growth to preserve the Marginal Way for generations to come. Paul has worked tirelessly to bring on talented Board members, coordinated all Board meetings, and supervised the Executive Directors since the Fund’s inception. He has also worked closely with Town organizations and committees to ensure that the Fund has become one of the most critical assets of Ogunquit especially when unexpected damage from storms or erosion threatens the Marginal Way. His leadership will long be remembered for helping to preserve a national and regional treasure to the more than 400,000 visitors who walk the Marginal Way annually. For the last five years, Jeanne Roche has successfully directed the Marginal Way Preservation Fund operations and fundraising as Executive Director. She has singlehandedly man-

aged the day to day functions of the Fund, worked closely with the President of the Board and all Board members, organized many successful fundraising events, and been the key contact for the Town and businesses in Ogunquit and the region. She has helped hundreds of donors realize their dream for a memorial contribution, a major sponsorship, or the purchase of one of the $10,000 Plaques. She has overseen the Annual Appeal program and grown the number of annual donors to the fund year after year. She has sold more than 65 Plaques during her five years as Executive Director bringing in hundreds of thousands of dollars during her tenure. She is known in Ogunquit not only for her five years as the Executive Director of the Fund but also

for her previous position as the Ogunquit Parks and Recreation Director who oversaw the sale of the benches along the Marginal Way. A party honoring Jeanne will be held in October after her last Board meeting. Allison Ramsey is the newly elected and appointed Executive Director. Allison graduated from Manhattan College’s School of Business with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Business Management, Marketing, and Psychology and has over a decade of experience in Corporate Human Resources and Project Management for a Fortune 500 Company where she played a key role in integrating new revenue-generating and innovative business lines into the organization.

Pres. Leary of Bay Path University Honored for 25 Years of Service OGUNQUIT At its annual meeting held virtually on May 18, the Board of Trustees of Bay Path University, on behalf of the entire Bay Path community, surprised retiring President Carol Leary with a celebration in her honor. “Carol Leary led a remarkable transformation of Bay Path during her 25-year tenure. The Board was honored to pay tribute to her and express gratitude for the countless ways she and her husband Noel have impacted Bay Path and the western Massachusetts community,” said Jonathan Besse, chair of the board. The longest serving president in Bay Path’s history, the Board granted Leary with the title of President Emerita, which began July 1, on her first day of retirement. Emeritus status is a special honor given to an individual who has provided distinguished service to an institution or organization. During her tenure, Leary guided the University through a remarkable

transformation. The result was an unprecedented number of institutional improvements and initiatives such as strengthening academic offerings, enhancing the student experience, investing in capital projects, and establishing ties with the greater community and cultivating new partnerships. In addition to electing Leary President Emerita, the Trustees voted to rename the campus’s main administration building, Deepwood Hall, to Leary Hall. Carol and Noel Leary were also acknowledged for their commitment to diversity and inclu-

Hussey Seating Donates $10,000 to Good Shepherd Food Bank NORTH BERWICK In response to the rapid escalation of food insecurity in Maine caused by the COVID-19 crisis, Hussey Seating Company has partnered with Good Shepherd Food Bank and donated $10,000. Hussey Seating has also launched a virtual food drive and is matching all donations made by their 300+ employees. “We have participated in many food drives over my time at Hussey but this is our first virtual one,” said Gary Merrill, President and CEO of Hussey Seating. “We believe it’s our duty as members of the Maine community to give back in times of need. While

our business was, and continues to be affected by this pandemic, we are incredibly fortunate to have not experienced the level of economic hardships that has impacted many of our community members. I would challenge other business leaders in similar situations to do the same. Your neighbors are struggling.” Good Shepherd Food Bank estimates that $6.3M in additional resources will be needed over a six-month period to help Mainers struggling with hunger as a result of the COVID-19 crisis. This represents a 150% increase to their baseline six-month operating costs.

Hodge Receives Cutting-Edge Training to Help Re-Open Safely ELIOT With certifications in hand and a bright future ahead, this year’s graduates of Pipefitters Local 537’s Apprenticeship Program embark on their careers as journeymen pipefitters, welders, and HVAC-R technicians. Now journeyman and 2020 grad Bryan Hodge from Eliot will go on to bring industry-leading training to projects across the

region, including to countless shops and businesses that are safely re-opening. “As our communities reopen from COVID-19, we’re proud of all these graduates who will help make sure our economy can safely get back on track,” said Tom Kerr, business manager and financial secretary-

sion, and the tremendous impact they have had on all students. As first-generation college students themselves, they have inspired hundreds of women to attain a degree. They are now featured in the University’s I Am Bay Path storytelling campaign that celebrates diverse experiences and perspectives from members of the Bay Path community. The final tribute from Trustees was a significant surprise to both Learys. In recognition of Noel Leary’s deep commitment to students, as well as his civic activism and volunteerism, the Board awarded him an honorary degree. As stated by Chair Besse, “For this selfless community servant, who without fanfare, has dedicated his life to the betterment of others, we are proud to bestow Bay Path’s highest honor, the doctor of humane letters, honoris causa, upon Noel Leary.” President Carol Leary’s legacy can be viewed online at www.baypath.edu/about/leadership/president/a-quarter-century-of-leadership/ in a special archival piece, Legacy of Lead-

ership, which highlights and chronicles the impact she has had on the Bay Path community. The front piece is a first glimpse of the official portrait of Leary painted by Doug Brega, a local artist of national renown. It will be unveiled at a later date. Additionally, citations from Springfield Mayor Dominic Sarno, who declared May 18 as “Carol Leary Day” in Springfield, U.S. Congressman Richard Neal, Massachusetts State Senator Eric Lesser, Massachusetts State Representative Brian Ashe, and Longmeadow Town Manager Lyn Simmons were also presented. Leary officially retired on June 30. Sandra Doran, sixth president of Bay Path, assumes office on July 1. Carol and Noel Leary have lived in Ogunquit for decades, and are very active in the community. Noel serves on the board of the Ogunquit Playhouse and Carol is on the board for the Marginal Way Preservation Fund and the Ogunquit Museum of American Art.

FINANCE & CAREER EMCC & DOE Announce Free Training for Teachers AUGUSTA In an effort to support PreK-12 teachers across the state, Eastern Maine Community College (EMCC) and the Maine Department of Education (DOE) teamed up to launch a new, free education training program that will allow trainees to work as supervised support staff in PreK12 classrooms this year. The pandemic has intensified a staffing shortage in PK-12 classrooms across the state, as districts stretch their resources to offer a range of in-person and remote options

to Maine families. With smaller in-person student groups and additional responsibilities, teachers need help. This program is designed to train participants to be “learning facilitators” who can assist teachers to help their PreK12 students learn and grow. “This innovative program comes at a critical time,” EMCC President Lisa Larson said. “This fills a big gap in the classrooms and is just what teachers and school districts across the state need right now.” The Eastern Maine Community College program is a mix of supervised in-classroom

training and 45 hours of remote online instruction, and all trainees will have mentors at EMCC and at their host school district. After an initial week-long bootcamp, the trainees will be eligible to become paid school staff. They will be trained to take on the duties of educational technicians or be hired as substitute teachers. While working in the classroom, the trainees will earn badges over time in categories such as positive guidance, co-teaching and inclusive practices. At the end of the academic year, successful trainees will

Home Loans & Cost Savings for Veterans NATIONWIDE A Veteran’s Administration home loan is available for eligible Veterans, service members, and certain surviving spouses. And, no down payment is ever required by VA. VA has guaranteed over 25 million home loans between the program’s inception in 1944 to June 2020. Even today, the borrowers using their VA home loan guaranty enjoy outstanding benefits, such as limited closing costs and competitively low interest rates.

Over 1,500 lenders offer the VA-backed home loan so veterans should talk to several banks to compare rates, fees, and closing costs. When ready, costs can be negotiated with the lender offering terms that are right for the borrower. VA-approved appraisers can estimate property value just as timely as any other mortgage loan. Their notice of value (NOV) gives borrowers insight into what the home is worth. Under VA rules, borrowers don’t have to buy a home valued below

Hire-A-Vet Event! STATEWIDE The Maine Department of Labor, and partners, invite employers to participate in “Maine’s Hire-A-Vet Campaign 2020,” which will kick off virtually on September 15, 11 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. followed by a virtual hiring event 1-4 p.m. The goal is to engage a minimum of 100 employers to hire 100-plus veterans in 100 days. Since 2015, the campaign has consistently exceeded these goals – placing 1,048 veterans

and engaging 628 employers during the 100-day campaign! As you know, veterans possess unique skills and abilities that are essential to effective organizations. Their inherent drive for job accomplishment and leadership skills bring highly desired qualities to any workplace. For more information go to www.mainecareercenter.com/ mhav/.

Schools & Universities Receive Funding WASHINGTON, D.C. U.S. Senator Susan Collins, a member of the Education Committee, announced in April that Maine institutions of higher education will receive a total of $41,092,834 in the first round

the contract price and can decide to renegotiate or walk away from the sale. The VA home loan benefit was created through the 1944 Serviceman’s Readjustment Act, which is known more colloquially as the “G.I. Bill.” The Act, signed into law by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt on June 22, 1944, represents a pillar of the benefits earned by U.S. military service members and Veterans through their commitment and service to the country. It is among the most widely praised and popular benefits administered by VA and has helped put millions of eligible service members and Veterans into their piece of the American Dream: their home.

quality instruction, and support students.” Some of the Maine institutions of higher education that received the first installment of CARES Act funding include York County Community College in Wells ($556,529). Now in May, Senator Collins has announced that Maine institutions of higher education will receive an additional $2,947,301 in funding through the CARES Act. York County Community College will receive $27,422 and The Landing School of Boatbuilding & Design in Arundel will receive $456,150. Also in April, Senator announced that Maine received a $9,273,552 block grant to support K-12 and postsecondary education in the state as well. The funding was awarded through the Governor’s Emergency Education Relief (GEER) Fund, a program authorized by the CARES Act. The state has the authority to decide how best to use the funding to meet the needs of students, schools, postsecondary institutions, and other education-related organizations.

of funding for colleges and universities through the CARES Act. Of that amount, at least $20,546,425 must be used for emergency financial aid grants to students. With the additional funds, colleges and universities will offer direct aid to students to help them pay for items such as food, housing, course materials, technology, health care and child care. They may also use their funding to purchase technology to expand remote learning and to defray costs associated with lost revenue. “In addition to threatening public health, the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the lives of millions of Americans, including students,” said Senator Collins. “This investment will help Maine’s institutions offset the economic harm they have experienced due to the coronavirus, ensure faculty have the tools they need to continue to provide

tion or support. There is no cost to trainees for the program, which seats up to 180 people. The first boot camp for the program begins September 14. Partnering school districts who host trainees will receive a stipend and technology to support the program.

Health & Fitness Virtual School Means Extra Screen Time – And Added Eye Strain For Kids This school year is beginning in much the way the last one ended, with many districts opting for virtual learning, which means children sit at home in front of computer screens rather than in a classroom in front of teachers. But that extra screen time – mixed with the screen time many children and teenagers spend on their own – brings with it the potential for serious eye strain, says Dr. Jeff Kegarise, an optometrist, clinical management expert, and co-author of One Patient at a Time: The K2 Way Playbook for Healthcare & Business Success (www.theK2Way.com). “Spending too much time in front of screens on computers, phones and tablets can lead to headaches, blurry vision, dry eyes and more,” Kegarise says. “Gritty, scratchy, watery, or irritated eyes can be common because of all the digital devices people use these days.” And if things aren’t bad enough, even without this added time staring at comput-

Experts Offer Back to School COVID-19 Forum YORK As schools begin to reopen with remote or hybrid learning models because of the pandemic, many families have questions about safely navigating these uncharted waters and dealing with their new normal. To help address some of these concerns, York Hospital will host an online community forum, “Back to School in the Time of COVID-19,” on September 11, 12-1 p.m. During this panel discussion, experts in infectious diseases, pediatrics and primary care—many of whom are parents themselves—will share their knowledge and also answer questions submitted by members of the community. (Directions for submitting questions will be provided to all attendees via email.)

ers, about one-fourth of children in the U.S. have a vision problem significant enough to affect their performance in school, Kegarise says. It’s not unusual for some children to spend hours staring at a video game screen, perhaps so caught up in the game’s action that they fail to notice or care about any eye discomfort that results. Add several hours of online school, though, and eye strain becomes more difficult to ignore. Kegarise says parents can help their children alleviate some of the eye strain by making sure they do the following: Take breaks. To a certain extent, students won’t have control over this because teachers will decide when breaks happen during the school day. But ideally, they should take a break from the screen every 30 minutes,

Choose the right lighting. The type of lighting used in the student’s work space can make a difference. Incandescent lights work better than fluorescent lights because they give off less glare, Kegarise says. “It’s also better if the light is placed over your shoulder than if it’s shining straight down on the screen because that will cause fewer reflections,” he says.

and aiding in the prevention of dry eyes, Kegarise says. Even without all this added screen time, children often develop vision issues that hurt their performance in school and sports, Kegarise says. Forty percent of children develop nearsightedness, he says, and it’s an even higher percentage for those who have a parent who is nearsighted. “In addition, reading difficulties and attention problems are often the result of eye muscle, visual processing, and function problems.” Kegarise says. “Parents who feel that their child has a tougher time reading and comprehending than others should consider an eye exam for them. It’s possible through vision therapy to make life-changing and long-lasting improvements to their learning and confidence.” The Weekly Sentinel does not endorse any products or services suggested by thirdparty sources.

Drain and pat dry with paper towels. 4} Gently split the top of the peas open, do not remove the peas in the pod. 5} Place ﬁlling in a quart size lunch bag and cut a small opening in the bottom corner, the size of a pencil. Gently squeeze the ﬁlling

646-3355 into the opened pea pod, and ﬁll with about 1 teaspoon of ﬁlling per pea pod. Place on your lettuce or green and lightly dust with Paprika for added color. 6} Add fresh Strawberries around the peas and serve when everything has been chilled. This will serve six or more if you’re expecting a crowd make a double recipe. Enjoy!

~ Pets ~ Safe Haven Humane Society

Animal Welfare Society KENNEBUNK Doves and pigeons make great pets! They are smart, beautiful, easy-going, entertaining and quiet. No loud squawking, just some very pleasant coos. Pigeons and doves are peaceful, gentle, friendly and genuinely enjoy human companionship. Each one has a unique look and a unique personality! These birds are domesticated and need a life different than those of the pigeons and dove you find in your neighborhood or downtown. That’s where you come in! If you’d like to add one or more beautiful birds to your family and give them a safe and happy life, we’re waiting for your call. These birds are available for adoption at the Animal Welfare Society in Kennebunk. All adoptions are by appointment so please call 207-985-3244 to learn more.

WELLS Mark your calendars for 11 a.m. September 16 for the Grand Opening of Safe Haven’s new shop at Cattail Farms. Our gorgeous antique barn at 1784 Post Road, Wells, has been a hive of talented, hardworking volunteers who have used their incredible talents and hard work to transform an empty space into a bargain hunter’s dream. Long ago, our barn stored apples from an orchard in Hampton Falls, NH. Now it’s home to an enormous collection of wonderful, useful, lovely, and eccentric items. Like everything we do, its sole purpose is saving the lives of homeless cats in our community. Our shop’s sales totally supports the vet bills and operating expenses of Safe Haven Humane Society. When you purchase something at Cattail, you’re also paying for diagnostics, medicines, vaccinations, surgeries, and food and litter. Your support enables Safe

Haven to continue to rescue, care for and find loving homes for stray and unwanted felines. We always need supplies like paper towels, canned Fancy Feast kitten food for the 12 kittens in our farmhouse, and Sheba or Friskees canned cat food for our adult kitties. Dawn detergent, printer paper, black magic markers, or gift cards to Walmart, Staples, Lowes, to help us buy whatever we’ve forgotten to list. These items (not donations) can be dropped off at our stores whenever we’re open. Our IGA Plaza thrift shop remains open 11 a.m. - 4 p.m. Wednesday-Sunday. Our shelter at 1420 Post Road will soon re-

6 Tips to Keep Your Pets Healthy During the Outbreak By Jennifer Skiff, author of “The Divinity of Dogs” and “Rescuing Ladybugs”. The most distressing moments I’ve had to witness in my life have been when a person or family surrenders their dog to the shelter because they feel they’ve run out of options to care for them. I’m not talking about the people who are moving, divorcing, or are having a baby. I’m talking about the people who have lost their jobs or are being moved into a nursing home or who are dying and are forced to relinquish the one soul who has loved them the most. The scene is emotionally debilitating because those of us who work with animals understand that love. We also know

that we, at any moment, could be that person. At any moment we could lose our good health and/ or our jobs. That causes despair and veterinarians and animal shelters throughout the world are reporting that people are relinquishing their pets because they can’t afford to feed them. I’ve helped run animal shelters for over thirty years so I’m speaking to you with the voice of experience – You can keep your beloved companions! My friend, Dr. Barbara Royal, DVM, of the Royal Treatment Veterinary Clinic in Chicago agrees and offers sound advice on how to feed your pets when you can’t afford traditional pet food. “We’ve been told for a long time that feeding pets our leftovers it not safe, but it can be See TIPS page 28...

open to the public. Volunteers have been scrubbing and repainting to prepare, after a year-long shutdown due to a few kitties arriving with ringworm. Very few kitties remain because most were happily adopted as soon as they were cleared. One kitty who wasn’t ready to go due to her “untrusting personality” is the one I believe most needs to be adopted. Ready or not, Rainy, your soul needs a real home! Rainy is a beautiful young long-haired torti. She is quick to let you know exactly what she thinks of everything, with a hiss of disapproval and an adorable crinkled-up nose. Rainy came to Safe Haven from Ohio, with three precious babies in tow. Safe Haven was asked by a York resident to please help save their

lives, all the other shelters were overcrowded. So this little family came to Safe Haven. Imagine the stress Rainy endured during her travels. She needs and deserves extra special handling. Rainy needs a quiet home with someone who really understands kitties, who will talk to her and tell her that you don’t mind the hissing or the crinkled nose. In time, we know she’ll stop it, be happy and trust you. So if you’re patient and cat wise, if you have a big heart, please call the shelter and visit Rainy. 207-646-1611.

...CATTAIL from page 1 chairs the non-profit organization’s fundraising committee. McKay and her crew of dedicated volunteers - 20 in the store and 30 at the shelter - are up to the challenges of designing, staffing and managing the new store, which will play a big part in paying off the mortgage and ensuring Safe Haven’s financial future. “I am going to make our supporters and donors proud,” said McKay, who has been with Safe Haven since 2003 and became its director in 2006. Shoppers will shun the thrift shop label the moment they enter the store. No hodge-podge of mismatched dishes, linens, teapots, cookbooks and blenders here. Instead, there’s an array of miniboutiques, set up vignette-like, in carefully curated settings, arranged over two expansive floors. “I’ve always loved to take discarded things and make them look beautiful. We had nothing to work with at the Plaza location, but now we have this gorgeous layout,” said McKay, an artist by training. Settings include books, music and movies, prints, pets, kids’ toys and clothing, cards and stationery, crafts, seasonal and Christmas, jewelry, linens nautical and tools. Each is more eye-catching than the next — and even those who are determined to downsize will be tempted to buy. The French country set-

ting, for example, boasts lovely dining room chairs upholstered in Provencal blue. A sign on the wall warbles “Bon Appetit” and deep blue dishes are nestled in a wrought-iron buffet service tower. In the country section, a wooden bowl overflows with vintage tin cookie cutters tied in bundles. Nearby are a wroughtiron corn stick pan, pine cupboards, and wooden candlesticks. The ladies fashion section features racks and racks of beautifully displayed clothing, all carefully sized and inspected. Nearby, shoppers will find accessories like scarves, gloves and hats, tastefully presented. “My volunteers have done a wonderful job of organizing, pricing and displaying each section,” said McKay proudly. McKay hopes to open a Cat Café in the adjacent carriage house section of the property, providing donated snacks and coffee and a place to shoppers to sit and talk. The adjoining farmhouse will be overflow shelter space for mother cats and their kittens, giving them more privacy than is possible at the organization’s shelter on Route 1 nextdoor to the Wells Public Library. A room above the carriage house will give cats ready for adoption plenty of room to perch and play. “I really believe in Safe Haven’s cause and want it to have a firm financial background. Our new store will help with that and we are excited to welcome shoppers,” she said. Safe Haven Thrift Shop at Cattail Farm will be open Wednesday-Sunday, 11 a.m. - 4 p.m. Masks and social distancing are required. Donations of high-quality used items are welcome by appointment. Volunteers are welcome, too. Call McKay at 207-229-8314 to discuss donations or to inquire about volunteering.

The Miraculous Prayer

Dear Heart of Jesus, in the past I have asked for many favors. This time I ask you this very special one. Take it Dear Jesus and place it within your own broken heart where your father sees it. Then in our merciful eyes it will become your favor not mine. Amen. Say this prayer for three days, promise publication, and favor will be granted. Never known to fail. J.M.F.

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.

Robert (Bob) D. Simpson, 73 WELLS – Robert D. Simpson, of Sanford Road, passed away September 3, 2020 in York Hospital, surrounded by his wife and children due to complications of pneumonia. Bob was born September 9, 1946 in Cedar Falls, IA, where he graduated high school. He proudly served in the United States Navy before meeting his future bride, Faye Hatch.

THANK YOU ST. JUDE

May the Sacred Heart of Jesus be adored, glorified, loved and preserved throughout the world now and forever. Sacred Heart of Jesus, pray for us. St. Jude, worker of miracles, pray for us. St. Jude, helper of the hopeless, pray for us. Say this prayer 9 times a day, by the 9th day your prayers will be answered. It has never been known to fail. Publication must be promised and done.

They married in and raised their family in Wells. For 32 years, Bob worked for LaValley Lumber Company in Sanford, retiring as an estimator. Bob loved baking and was always eager to share his creations with others, especially his carrot cake and various breads. He was an avid Patriots, Red Sox and Celtics fan, and there was never a crossword puzzle he couldn’t solve. Bob spent much of his time listening to his records and watching QVC, Jeopardy and The Game Show Network. The most important thing in Bob’s life was his family and community. Bob spent several years as a volunteer firefighter for Highpine as well as spending numerous years coaching youth athletics in Wells, including being one of the original six coaches of the Wells Jr. Warrior football program. Bob would travel all over the country to watch his daughter; Kari play basketball and he was incredibly proud of the father that his son Derek had become. When Bob’s grandchildren came along, Grampy Simpson followed their activities also. He was constantly talking about his children and grandchildren’s accomplishments – they were truly his pride and joy. Bob was predeceased by his son Daniel Simpson; father Raelen E Simpson; mother Bessie Dixon; and brothers Harry Simpson and Dick Kramer. Surviving are his wife of 48 years, Faye (Hatch) Simp-

~ News ~ Grant Cycle Open for Land & Water Conservation Fund AUGUSTA The Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) 20202021 grant cycle is open and accepting applications for acquiring public land, developing recreation facilities, and renovation of existing outdoor recreation facilities from eligible applicants. Qualified applicants must request a pre-approval site inspection by October 31 at 11:59 p.m. If the proposed project is approved for application, the project sponsor will be

encouraged to submit a complete application packet by the end of May 2021. The grant application and support documents are posted online at www.maine.gov/dacf/ parks/grants/land_water_conservation_fund.html. The maximum grant award for this round will be $500,000. There is currently no minimum award level, but applicants considering a request of $20,000 or less should discuss their project ideas with the grant manager

before applying. LWCF Act of 1964 was established to assist federal, state, and local governments acquiring and developing public outdoor recreation facilities. Administered at the federal level by the National Park Service and at the state level by the Bureau of Parks and Lands, LWCF grants can provide up to 50% of the allowable costs for approved acquisition or development projects for public outdoor recreation.

in the implementation of the Tier 4 emission standards for commercial lobster-style boats should provide engine manufacturers time to design and certify engines that will both comply with Tier 4 emission standards and work safely and efficiently in these boats. It also prevents lobstermen from being burdened by requirements that are impossible to meet with the currently available technology,” said U.S. Senators Susan Collins and Angus King and U.S. Representatives Chellie Pingree and Jared Golden in a joint statement. “We are pleased to have worked together with the EPA

to find a commonsense solution that supports Maine boat builders and lobstermen.” The rule also streamlines the engine certification process to reduce the costs of compliance and certification for engine manufacturers. This will promote entry into the market engines with the sort of high power density characteristics that these specialized, high performance vessels require. As a result, EPA predicts the retirement of older vessels with dirtier engines and their replacement by new vessels utilizing cleaner high-performance Tier 4 engines.

Education Program Receives Approval for Aspiring Teachers AUGUSTA The University of Maine at Augusta (UMA) Education Program received State Board of Education approval for minors and certificates that will streamline the process for graduates, and improve reciprocity with other states. The approval process included an extensive self-study by UMA’s Education Program and a rigorous application process to the Maine Department of Education

...ENGINE from page 2 ...SIMPSON from page 24 “We appreciate the EPA listening to and addressing the concerns of hard working Lobstermen and boatbuilders from Maine. Delaying the implementation of the Tier 4 requirements for Commercial Fishing boats allows the industry to better address safety and availability issues,” said Maine Lobstermen’s Association President Kristan Porter. “Due to the unique design of Maine lobster boats, at this time there are not Tier 4-compliant diesel engines available on the market that can safely fit in these types of vessels. This delay

son of Wells; son Derek (Jan) Simpson and three grandchildren Colin, Natalie, and Brody Simpson of Orland; daughter Kari Biggs (Dustin) of Wales; brother-in-law Rodney (Mary) Hatch; sister-in-law Sandra Simpson; and several nieces and nephews. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, services for Bob will be at a later date. He will be laid to rest in Oceanview Cemetery in Wells. Arrangements are entrusted to the Johnson Funeral Home, 26 Market Street, North Berwick.

(MDOE). Additionally, UMA hosted a site review team from the MDOE in December 2019 resulting in the site team’s recommendation for approval to the State Board of Education. Due to the pandemic, the final vote by the State Board of Education was delayed from April to July. On July 15, the Board voted unanimously for approval. State approval allows UMA graduates of the Education Program to be certified through institution recommendation rather than transcript analysis. State approval also eliminates the requirement for the Principles of Learning and Teaching exam and provides greater reciprocity for those graduates seeking to teach in other states. The endorsements approved by the Board of Education are in undergraduate minors and postbaccalaureate certificates of study for Early Elementary Education and Elementary Education, as well as minors in Secondary Education in the areas of English, Life, Physical Science, Social Studies and Mathematics.

...TIPS from page 22 when done appropriately, and can also help decrease the cost of feeding a pet,” says Royal. “Dog owners can feed bland diets for a few weeks to get through difficult times. They are carnivores, but also scavengers which means when times are hard, they can eat a variety of things to survive. Cats are obligate carnivores. So if you are making food for them, make sure you have a balanced recipe. It should be taking into account the need for taurine, for many vitamins and minerals are only found in organ meats and the food should be high in protein and fat and low in carbs.” Tips to keep your pet healthy and with you: Prepare homemade pet food - Home dog and cat food can be less costly than commercial brands and is fun to make, especially if you have the time that quarantine allows. Veterinarians warn it’s difficult to create the perfect nutritional balance when home-cooking but if it’s temporary, try out recipes from the Internet and remember never to add foods that are poisonous to animals. Some of the foods toxic to both dogs and cats include but are not limited to; chocolate, coffee, caffeine, any food products containing xylitol, onions, chives, garlics, leeks, alcohol, grapes, raisins, sultanas, currants, hops, and macadamia nuts; Seek temporary help from friends and family - Everyone who knows you knows how much you love your companion. Now is not the time to be embarrassed or ashamed because a global disaster has put you in a position where you’re temporari-

ly unable to meet ends meet. The most important thing now is to keep your family together. Ask for assistance from those who know and love you; Collect food from a pet food pantry and/or food bank - Most people are unaware that local food pantries that provide assistance to members of their community also have food available for pets. Google the name of your town or the largest town near you, along with the words “pet” “food” “bank” and “pantry” and you will be directed to a nearby source of relief; Accept food assistance from places of worship - Most churches, synagogues, and mosques have food assistance programs and/or give food vouchers to use at grocery stores. Charities are built on giving to others when they need it most. Please know that volunteers like to help. It makes them happy. Google “church” “food” “assistance” and you will be directed to emergency food assistance for you and your pet; Request assistance from your local animal shelter - Many people aren’t aware that shelters often have extra food and or a pet food pantry on site. The volunteers and staff there are also a great source of suggestions to help you keep your companion with you. Don’t hesitate to ask. Everyone who works in rescue has a shared goal; to keep people who love their pets and pets who love their people, together; Take long walks with your dog - While a third of the world’s population is in lockdown, most governments are permitting us to get groceries, go to the pharmacy, and to walk our dogs. Enjoy the physical health being afforded to those with pets and the mental health we all receive when being with those who offer us unconditional love. Jennifer Skiff is a trustee of the Dogs’ Refuge Home and director of International Programs for the Animal Wellness Foundation and the Center for a Humane Economy.

What Parents Need To Know About the Proper Conditioning Of Their Little League Pitchers

Pitchers are a special breed, and as such they require preparation that is quite different from other athletes. But while the arm is the main focus of attention for everyone watching the pitcher, the whole body and its development goes into every pitch that leaves his hand. Young pitchers, in particular, along with their parents often face confusion when deciding how to properly condition the pitcher’s body. Many who pitch don’t go about their conditioning the correct way, and common misconceptions about it can stop pitchers short of their potential, says Ron Wolforth (www.TexasBaseballRanch.com), a long-time pitching trainer who is founder of Texas Baseball Ranch and author of Pitching with Confidence: A Parent’s Guide To Giving Your Elite Pitcher An Edge. “Parents need to educate themselves and their athletes on proper conditioning and training specific to pitchers,” Wolforth says. “There are important things they and their kids can learn about how conditioning for a pitcher needs to be markedly different relative to athletes in other sports. “Unfortunately, most baseball training falls way short in terms of being tailored to specific skill requirements. For example,

too many are thrown in the weightlifting room with everybody else, and little attention is paid to the balance and structural alignment necessary.” Wolforth offers these points that parents need to know about the conditioning of their pitcher: Assessment - Before beginning conditioning, Wolforth recommends finding a well-qualified physical therapist for an assessment of the pitcher. “Seek out a PT who is certified to perform a Functional Movement Screening,” Wolforth says. “You as a parent want to know where your athlete may have possible limitations. How is their flexibility, stability, and other physical factors? After the assessment, request corrective exercises to take home regarding any limitation they find.” Strength and mobility/ flexibility - “You want to create a very specific type of strength and mobility/flexibility,” Wolforth says. “Every sport is unique in its requirements. A pitcher’s strength, balance, symmetry and structural alignment are absolutely critical. Because pitchers have to decelerate, developing parts of the pitcher’s body that slow down the arm actually may be more important in some cases than developing parts that speed up the body.” Weightlifting - “Over 75%

of high school players that I have witnessed were not ready for squats in the weight room,” Wolforth says. “Over 80% of all athletes who I observe can’t do 10 consecutive perfect pushups. Yet we funnel all these athletes into the same weight room, give them the exact same workout, and attempt to build strength. Adding strength in the wrong area is a bad idea. Follow the assessment and steer clear of any outside person who, without assessing the athlete, offers definitive answers on your athlete’s strength development.” Running - Wolforth says long-distance running for conditioning reduces mobility and is a wrong fit for pitchers, yet many do it. “Baseball pitchers need strength and stamina, but they will not get the specific strength and stamina they need by running long distance,” Wolforth says. “The physical act of pitching a baseball is accomplished in less than two seconds. The athlete then has roughly 20 seconds to recover before repeating the explosion. Short sprints of 10-25 yards with 20-60 seconds of rest between reps are far superior to long, slow jogging.” The Weekly Sentinel does not endorse any products or services suggested by third-party sources.

Rett’s Roost’s ‘Superhero 5K’ Going (Partially) Virtual

OGUNQUIT In honor of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, Rett’s Roost — a nonprofit based in Ogunquit that provides free weekend retreats for families that have experienced childhood cancer and child loss — will host its fifth annual Superhero 5K and Kids Fun Run on the weekend of September 18. While the race is designed to keep people safe by avoiding the usual large gathering of runners all at once, it isn’t entirely virtual. Instead, participants are encouraged to run the specified route any time that weekend from Short Sands Beach to Nubble Light house in York in their superhero costumes and upload their times.

In addition, runners are asked to post and tag Rett’s Roost on social media to boost their fundraising efforts. Prizes will be awarded for best costume, best social post, and most money raised by an individual. At 4 p.m., participants can log on to a zoom meeting for awards and recognition of supporters. Then stay for a magic show by Sage’s Entertainment, an owl and raptor experience by On the Wing, and Family Superhero Trivia with Captain America. We will be physically, but not socially, distanced for this great event. With their registration bib, adults also receive a beer from SoMe Brewing or York Beach Beer Company any time on the 18-20.
