Producers range from small artisan producers to bulk syrup providers who serve major grocery store chains, foodservice distributors and retailers. Maine Maple Producers Association members produce 580,000 gallons annually. Their business operations generate more than $21.6 million for the Maine economy. Members of the association also support more than 560 full-time and part-time jobs that generate more than $17.3 million in wages.

During the pandemic and to provide an additional virtual experience, producers have started selling their products online. Several producers also now offer new pick-up options.

Virtual Fundraiser for Haitian School

ELIOT Seacoast residents who helped support the rapid growth of a school in northern Haiti over the last decade will get a chance on Friday, October 2 to tour the school virtually, meet with the principal and hear songs from Haitian students. The annual spring fundraiser for the Eben Ezer School was cancelled in March just as the current pandemic sent people indoors. But organizers believe that the ZOOM fundraiser will give people who don’t like to dance or don’t live nearby a chance to participate and get updates on the school as well. The public is invited to join the zoom or watch on the facebook live. “For the first time since 2009 we will not be dancing salsa to raise money to support

the education of 500 children in Haiti,” noted Joanne Stella of Portsmouth, event organizer, “We will nonetheless gather with donors in a way that gives them a far more intimate look at the school.” The Eben Ezer School, founded in 2003 by Haitian American Lucia Anglade of New York, has grown from 35 to 500 children in the 13 years since residents, churches, schools and Rotary Clubs in the Seacoast got involved. Dozens of families sponsor children at the school and all 14 teachers have their salaries paid by members of the southern Maine and New Hampshire community. The virtual fundraiser on Oct. 2 will include music by Matt Jenson, a Berklee School teacher who has played every year at the

Stephen Ritchie of Eliot, who traveled with his wife and two teenaged daughters, will speak about meeting the teacher his family supports, as well as his work photographing the teachers, Sally Hunter of South Berwick, who has sponsored a child at the school for six years, will also report on her experience of seeing the school in person. Hunter, Ritchie and the other visitors also saw progress on a guesthouse that is being built on the land next to the school.

Massachusetts Residents Added to Exempt Travelers List for Maine

AUGUSTA The Mills Administration announced that, effective immediately, travelers from Massachusetts are exempt from the requirement to get a negative COVID-19 test or quarantine for 14 days. The decision comes after the latest review of public health information by the Maine Department of Health and Human Services and Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention, which determined that

Massachusetts now resembles exempt states like Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey in its COVID-19 prevalence and positivity rate. Maine’s quarantine or testing alternative requirement, as established by the Keep Maine Healthy Plan, has helped protect the health and safety of Maine people since its implementation over three months ago, and been replicated by numerous other states since then, including Massachusetts. This change includes

Maine residents who may be traveling back to Maine from Massachusetts after visits for services such as health care. “Protecting the health and safety of Maine people has always been our first and foremost goal,” said Governor Janet Mills. “We congratulate our friends to the south on their progress in mitigating the spread of the virus and ask them to continue to take all the appropriate precautions, as we know they will, to protect their health and safety

Shah, Director of the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention. “We still recommend that people traveling from those states to Maine take advantage of readily available testing options as the best way to ensure the safety of Maine residents and visitors.” The Mills Administration continues to strongly recommend that visitors from exempt states “Know Before You Go” and obtain a test before visiting Maine, for their safety and that of Maine people.

Senators Collins and King Celebrate National Lobster Day WASHINGTON, D.C. U.S. Senators Susan Collins and Angus King announced that September 25, marks “National Lobster Day.” The designation was established through a resolution the senators authored that passed the Senate unanimously. National Lobster Day seeks to recognize the economic and cultural importance of the species, which is a major economic driver for Maine. Every year since 2015, Senators Collins and King have authored this resolution. “For generations, Maine’s lobster fishery has supported thousands of Maine families and served as a major economic force for our state’s coastal communities,” said Senators Collins and King in a joint statement. “National Lobster Day provides an opportunity, during the peak of the lobster season, to celebrate

MEDICARE APPROVED

BREAKTHROUGH FDA-APPROVED TREATMENT PROVEN TO HELP RELIEVE KNEE PAIN

NO SURGERY • NO STEROIDS • NO DOWNTIME SAFE • FDA-APPROVED • EFFECTIVE CLINICALLY PROVEN TO TREAT KNEE PAIN WITH 86% SUCCESS RATE! Have you ever wondered what life would be like if you got rid of your knee pain? Let’s face it, your knees aren’t as young as they used to be, and playing with your kids or grandkids isn’t any easier either. Maybe your knee pain keeps you from walking short distances or playing golf like you used to. Nothing’s worse than feeling great mentally, but physically your knee hurts and the pain just won’t go away! There is now HOPE if you are suffering from any of the following conditions:

• • • • • •

Arthritis Knee Pain Cartilage Damange “Bone on Bone” Knees Tendonitis Grinding or Crunching Noises

COULD THIS NON-INVASIVE FDA-APPROVED TREATMENT BE THE ANSWER TO YOUR KNEE PAIN? GenVisc injections treat knee arthritis by

providing additional lubrication and cushioning to the joints. Hyaluronic Acid, the main ingredient in the injections, is a natural substance originally derived from a rooster comb that mimics the natural fluid in the knee. The wonderful thing about this procedure is that it has virtually no side effects, and is targeted specifically at the osteoarthritis in your knees.

WHAT IF I’VE ALREADY HAD KNEE INJECTIONS? When a doctor does an injection “blind”, or without guidance, there is significant chance that the medication didn’t get to the exact area needed. So it’s very possible that it was not the treatment that failed, it simply didn’t

get to the right part of the joint. Our physicians use ultrasound guidance to guide the medicine into the joint with nearly 100% accuracy.

Recycle & Compost Grants for Schools STATEWIDE Ecomaine announced its call for proposals for the organization’s 2020-2021 round of recycling grants, which are designed to raise recycling awareness in schools and communities, and to help schools implement more efficient recycling programs or add composting to their waste collection. As Maine’s pioneer of single-sort recycling and provider of waste-to-energy solutions, Ecomaine is pleased to announce that any school from its 70 member communities can apply for recycling grants through October 30. “This year is obviously proving to be a tough one for all of us – especially schools and students,” said Caleb Hemphill, See RECYCLE page 22...

This resolution honors their hard work, which attracts millions of visitors to our state each summer and has helped to make the Maine lobster fishery one of the best-managed anywhere in the world.” Lobster is one of the most valuable catches in the U.S., with approximately 150 million pounds landed at a value of more $500 million each year. In 2019 alone, Maine lobstermen landed more than 100 million pounds valued at more than $485 million. Senators Collins and King have been vocal advocates for the lobster industry by pushing back against harmful policies that would hinder the continued growth and success of the industry.

~ News ~ Educator, Writer Royaline Edwards Receives Sarah Farmer Peace Award KITTERY / ELIOT The 2020 Sarah Farmer Peace Award was awarded to Royaline Edwards, a retired Seacoast educator and playwright in a public webinar ceremony in recognition of the UN International Day of Peace on September 19. The Sarah Farmer Peace Award is presented annually by the Spiritual Assembly of the Baha’is of Portsmouth and Green Acre Baha’i Center of Learning to recognize the contributions of area individuals or groups who strive to promote world peace and understanding among nations and members of the human family through local action. Sarah Jane Farmer, a turn-of-the century peace heroine, was born in Dover, NH in 1847. She founded the Green Acre Conferences in Eliot where the first peace flag in the world was hoisted in 1894. Introduced by Director of the New Hampshire Black Heritage Trail JerriAnne Boggis, this year’s recipient, Royaline Edwards, is a retired seacoast teacher who, after dedicating 34 years to the education of young children, wrote and directed elementary students in her play “Listen to the Drums” about Harriet Tubman. She has worked tirelessly to promote the concept

of the oneness of mankind. She published a semi-autobiographical book, Kandi, about a young African American girl moving from the south to the north in the 1960-1970s. “As a peace-builder,” Royaline said, “I use the building blocks of love, joy, and peace to strengthen stature; assembling respect, integrity, and perseverance to enhance and promote well-being.”

The webinar included presentations from many of previous Laureates including, but not limited to, The Seacoast Peace Academy by Melinda Salazar and Kay Morgan, sustainability educator Bert Cohen, weaver Sarah Haskell, and “Sammy the Snail”

with Lesley Smith. Data artist and musician, Marty Quinn, presented ideas from “The Promise of World Peace Statement to the World”. The program also viewed a newly released video presentation about Sarah Jane Farmer by writer and artist Anne Perry.

...MASS from page 4 with Maine schools reopened, with 96 percent of child care providers reopened, and with more people interacting, it is critical that everyone take steps to protect themselves, their businesses, and others by wearing face coverings, keeping six feet distance whenever possible, and washing hands often with soap and warm water. As of September 22, Maine, adjusted for population, ranks second lowest in the nation in terms of positive cases; 5th lowest in the nation in terms of deaths; the lowest in terms of patients ever-hospitalized out of the 36 states reporting; and 10th highest in the percentage of people who have recovered out of the 45 states reporting.”

MWA usually puts on three art shows a year with the fall show being their annual awards show to recognize the accomplishments of local artist members.

This year the annual awards show, usually held at the Masonic Hall in Kennebunkport, will be online at the MWA website highlighting the images of more than 30 of their members. The work will be judged by a prominent local artist. The Annual Awards Show will be online October 1-31. One advantage is the art is available for the public to view 24 hours

Photographer Brings Ogunquit Art Colony to Florida OGUNQUIT One of Ogunquit fine art photographer Eric Taubert’s pieces depicting Perkins Cove in Ogunquit, was accepted into Big Arts first-ever juried exhibit to open in their new Dunham Family Gallery on Sanibel Island, FL. The show is entitled “Create, Inspire, Connect”, and mirrors the Big Arts 2021 Season theme which celebrates the vital role the arts play in reflecting our shared humanity and the healing power of community and creativity. The show opens October 1st and can be viewed on site by limited groups at a time. You can also visit the show online in a 3D virtual gallery starting October 5 at www.bigarts.org. The photo being exhibited by Taubert at the Big Arts “Create, Inspire, Connect” exhibition is an archival aluminum dye sublimation print of “...and the snowflakes became stars | perkins cove, ogunquit, maine”. “For half of the year,” states Taubert, “I live in an historic home just outside of Perkins Cove in Ogunquit.

walk out the door, I’m standing on truly hallowed ground when it comes to American art history. This is the same scenery that inspired Charles H. Woodbury, Gertrude Fiske (and so many other notable artists) to form the storied Ogunquit Art Colony. There are very few towns in the world, especially tiny towns like Ogunquit, that have been depicted so many times by such a wide variety of artists over the years. This photo, ‘..and the snowflakes became stars | perkins cove, ogunquit, maine’, was captured as part of my ongoing effort to create artwork that honors the legacy of the Ogunquit Art Colony, while also saying something new, adding something original to the large body of work this town has inspired.” “For the other half of the year,” continues Taubert, “I return to Southwest Florida. Sanibel and Captiva are such an important part of my life. This is where I married my wife. These are the places that sparked something in me, so many years ago, to explore every inch of shoreline with my camera in every quality of light – and begin earnestly working to develop my own voice through the medium of photography. I was very pleased to hear I was going to be able to merge my love for Ogunquit and Sanibel by showing in this “Create, Inspire, Connect” exhibition at Big Arts. It feels like something has come full circle.” See TAUBERT page 11...

More than 110 artists submitted 205 pieces of artwork in response to Big Arts call for submission. Submissions included everything from watercolor and oil paintings, to sculpture and photography. “The response to the show was fantastic!” said Big Arts Programs and Gallery Manager, Lauren Huff “It was great to see the mix of artists, and the artwork they submitted. We had submissions from Big Arts members, past artists who have shown with us, and a ton of new artists from across the country – as well as a few international submissions.” For more information, call the Big Arts box office at 239395-0900 or visit www.taubertgallery.com.

cess for entries was delayed and the Annual Literary Achievement Awards ceremony capping the event normally held in April was not held. Despite the obstacles, in-house and community judging was completed allowing monetary prizes and gift certificates to be awarded to contest winners during the summer. “This year, the challenge was to complete the judging of entries remotely,” commented co-chair and organizer of the WOCSD Literary Achievement Awards Maryanne Foley.

“There was a delay in getting all the results back, and notifying the winners. I want to thank all the judges, both preliminary and final, for the extra time it took to finalize the process,” added Foley. Initially, well over 335 kindergarten through adult education students entered in late February. After a delayed two-tier judging process, 66 of them had placed in the contest. This year the top prize of $500 went to Chaya Lord-Rozeff a senior who came in first in

“The Family Car”

By Jeanne Couturier, Staff Writer My Dad called my Mom from the auto dealership to tell her he had just bought a large car with two little seats in the middle for the children. My Mom, even knowing how we would react, should have kept this news to herself until my

Dad got home with the car, but she couldn’t contain herself, and proceeded to tell us all about it. Immediately after hearing about the car, us kids, a healthy rambunctious bunch to begin with, started to fight about who would get to sit on the two little

seats. Well, I was the youngest and most spoiled so I figured I’d have top priority considering my position in the family. My older brothers, and sisters however, had their own agenda, it was every man for himself!

ing up the street towards our house like he was afraid to hit something. We were all anxiously awaiting his arrival. The big black nine passenger car loomed proudly on the street in front of our house. On the front of the car, protruding from the vee shaped hood, was the emblem of the Spanish explorer Hernando De Soto. The chrome shone all around the fenders, bumpers, wheel wells and handles of the car. It had 2 doors on each side, the smaller one for the front passengers and the larger ones in the back. As my Dad got out of the car, he had the biggest, proudest smile on his face! He had finally found a car that all 7 children and he and Mom could fit into comfortably. Up until then the cars we’d had were regular size and pretty old and dilapidated. My Dad had always loved big cars and to him this was the ultimate perfect fit for all of us. His beautiful blue eyes sparkled and he beamed from ear to ear as he showed us our newest family car, a Chrysler DeSoto limousine. As he opened the back door for us, we were all ready to cram in, to get to the so called “little seats, instead this is what we saw. Inside the very large rear of the car, we could see the back rear seat which would fit 3 adults or 4 children, but directly behind the front seats we spotted two seats that were folded down and attached to the floor. They unfolded in a three section sequence. You’d pull up on the sturdy larger bottom section which was the seat itself, once that was up, you unfolded the two section back of the seat. When both seats were up and in place we saw that they had beautifully textured gray upholstery with a large 3 inch maroon stripe in the middle. The seats abutted side by side making them go the full width of the car. So my Dad’s first assessment of

calling them “little seats” was off the mark a bit because they were actually wide enough for at least 5 out of 7 of us comfortably, which at that moment made 5 of us very happy, however we all knew we’d have to take turns from time to time with the others which is par for the course in a big family. We were so excited and couldn’t wait to show everybody our new (used) snazzy car! We went to visit relatives and friends and gave rides to whoever wanted one. Later, this car took us on a wonderful trip to Canada, and it was also great on picnics and church on Sundays. After we’d had it for a while when the big black car arrived at church everyone knew who we were. In fact, we would take up two pews when we went to church, so nobody disputed the fact that we needed a larger car! However, on the other side of the coin, because the car was so big, some of the nuns from our parish started asking my Mom to take them here and there because so many of them fit into it at the same time! She drove them several times but after a while my very feisty little Mom with 7 children to take care of, felt as though they were taking advantage of her. She decided to put her foot down literally on the gas pedal! Don’t get me wrong, my Mom, first of all was an excellent driver and she would never have put anyone in danger, she went the speed limit but may have exceeded just a bit faster than the usual rides she gave them. Later she laughingly told us “I looked in my rear view mirror and the rosary beads had quickly appeared,” She got the feeling that she had succeeded,and indeed she had, they never called her again!!! After all, she not only had 7 of us but she was also President of the PTA, den mother for a cub scout troop that came to our See CAR page 13...

~ News ~ Farming 101 Spotlights Southern Maine Dairy Farms ELIOT / KITTERY “Farming 101” is a documentary primarily about the last two dairy farms in Eliot and Kittery, both located on an eightmile stretch of Route 101. This winding road has more than a two-century history of farming and related businesses. Fluctuating milk prices, uncertain weather conditions, expensive equipment, and a shortage of hired farm workers combine to make dairy farming in Maine a difficult business. Long-time photographer and retired book publisher Peter Randall lives on Goodwin Road and was inspired to make this film as he traveled Route 101, observing farmers working their fields. With a life-long interest in history and conservation, Randall wanted to make a documentary about farming, a way of life that once, but no longer, support-

ed dozens of families in this area. Assisting Randall was his grandson Kael Randall, who edited the film. Local performers Mike Rogers, David Surette, and Deidre Randall lent their music to the project as well. For Richard Johnson of Rustlewood Farm in Kittery, farming is in his blood. “I’ve been working on this farm my whole life. I’ve never had another job,” he said. Fred Schultze was in his thirties when he and his wife bought a farm in Eliot and eventually bought dairy cows. In addition to the two dairy farms, David and Jeanne Leavitt’s former dairy operation is now an active producer of bailed hay. Nearby is the former tractor dealership that was operated by Eleanor Pearsall and her late husband David. Just up the road is the home of John Sullivan

who collects and restores farm tractors. King Tut’s cider mill was begun over a hundred years ago to make cider for local farmers. This film presents interviews with the farmers and their families, hired hands, milk truck driver, veterinarian, and others. It also covers former farmers, including the Pettigrew, Kashmere, and Pearson families, with historical photographs. The difficulties of dairy farming in Maine raise the issue of what will happen to the farms and their hundreds of acres when the farmers can no longer work their property. The Johnsons have agreed to create a conservation easement on their 300 acres, but what will be the fate of the other land along Route 101? Farming 101 was shown on Maine Public Television earlier this year. For more information, visit www.farming101film.com.

...CAR from page 12 house once a week, did volunteer work and still had to cook everything from scratch. She was a very generous giving person but one of her favorite sayings was “there’s a limit to everything,” and when she reached it, everyone got the message, if you know what I mean! On other occasions like visiting one of my brothers who was a student at a seminary in Enfield, NH, it was always exciting because some of his friends would come running to the car to talk to us while another would run to find my brother to tell him the family

had indeed arrived! We’d always take some of them for a ride and my Dad would treat them to lunch with us. They not only enjoyed the car but they loved the family camaraderie because many of them missed seeing their own families so we became their family, at least for a day. As you can see, that car brought us much joy and laughter and great, great times! The closeness, the kinship and even the bickering makes me feel like it all just happened yesterday on that warm spring day in April of 1952.

Dear Computer Lady, I am wondering, how do you make a backup copy of your computer? What about creating a start-up disc? They are two different things I believe. I have a new computer and I have no idea how to do either of these things. Thank you! Deenie Dear Deenie, There are several ways to go about creating a backup for your entire computer. Most computers these days come with software installed that will allow you to create recovery disks for your computer. How you access that software and how you use it is different for each computer manufacturer, so I can’t give you step by step instructions. There are two disadvantages to this type of backup. First, you can only create this set of recovery disks once. The software is made this way and if you try to

~ Ask The Computer Lady ~ run it again it will only give you a message saying that you have already created the disks. The second disadvantage is that the recovery disks only return the computer to the way it was when it shipped from the factory. That means you will have to set the computer back up with your programs, data and personal information. A better backup might be a full system backup using a program like Acronis True Image. Using Acronis, you can create a complete image of your computer after setting it up so that you can restore it without having to also re-install all your software and printer drivers. Acronis will also help you create a startup disk to use in the event your computer can’t boot from the hard drive. You can then use Acronis to backup your files like documents and pictures on a regular basis. Acronis True Image also has a 159-page user manual

Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, Recently, I purchased a very much needed new computer. So far, so good. It runs on Windows 10, and I think that it will serve me well (old as I am!). I would like to download Outlook Express on it, however. I know that Microsoft no longer supports that program and that’s fine with me. I like it and it’s comfortable for me. Seems that others have pirated the rights to it and a ‘donation’ is required to partake! Is there any way around that for this old lady who doesn’t tolerate change all that well? Many thanks, Jane Dear Jane, There is no legitimate or pirated (which means stolen) copy of Outlook Express available for you to download and install, and if anyone is telling you that they have a copy of Microsoft’s Outlook Express that they are willing to share with you for a donation, they are not being truthful with you. I did a little searching online and found, what I think you are referring to. I’m pretty sure this program is made to look like Outlook Express, but it is not the real thing. The problem that I have with this is that they are trying to pass it

off as the real thing. Instead, I would suggest that you try out Mozilla Thunderbird at www. mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/download. Thunderbird is free, open source software. That means that it will always be free, and will be around for a long time, instead of suddenly discontinued at the whim of a big (or small) software company. Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, I am using Windows backup to keep my files backed up. I have found where my pictures, documents and favorites are stored, but I am not sure where the emails and contacts are kept. I am using Thunderbird, and when I asked at the store, the tech told me that Thunderbird messages can’t be backed up or transferred. If this is true, I need to find a new email program, I need my messages and contacts! Thank you, Debbie Dear Debbie, Not only is it possible to backup and/or transfer your thunderbird files, it is easier than most email programs. Thunderbird saves your personal information like messages and contacts in a set of files and folders called a “Profile”. All you have to do is find and backup and/or copy the profile folders and you will be backed up. Thunderbird can actually show you where your profile folders are located. Here is how

Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, I have a desktop computer with Windows 10. I am trying to set up a program that needs me to enter the IP address. How do I find the IP address of my computer? Thank you, Traci Dear Traci, Every computer that is connected to a network, or the internet needs an IP address. Fortunately, there are a couple of ways to find it in Windows 10. Lets start by looking in the Control Panel. 1. Click on the “Start” icon (the white flag) and type “Control Panel” in the search box that appears. Click on “Control Panel” in the start menu; 2. In the Control Panel, click on “Network and Internet”. (If you don’t see “Network and Internet” click next to “View by:” and select “Category”; 3. Click on “Network and Sharing Center”; 4. In the Network and sharing center, you will see your active networks (usually only 1) Find the section with Access type, homegroup and connections. Click on the blue word to the right of “Connections: and a status box will open; 5. Click on the “Details” button in that status box and another box will open. Your IP address will be in that list. Next, we will look in the Windows 10 “settings” app to find the IP address. This might be a little easier to find than the Control Panel. 1. Click on the start icon, then click the settings icon (it looks like a little gear) in the lower-left corner of the menu (or use the keyboard to press the windows logo key and the letter, I at the same time); 2. In the Settings app, click on “Network and Internet”; 3. Click on your connection type in the left column, usually either Ethernet or Wi-Fi; 4. Click on the connection at the top of the right column and your IP address will be displayed. Elizabeth Interested in learning more?

People and Business Profiles

Eaton Named New Stakeholder Development Manager WELLS Kathryn ‘Katie’ Eaton, a former long-time resident of Wells, was recently named Manager of Stakeholder Development for Health eVillages, a non-profit that brings state-ofthe-art mobile medical diagnostic technology to the most remote regions of the United States and the world. Health eVillages was founded in 2011 by Donato Tramuto of Ogunquit, to address the fact that within our lifetime, one billion people will go to their graves without access to healthcare workers, medication, clean water or affordable healthcare facilities. “Katie has been a guiding force behind Health eVillages almost since the start. Her passion and devotion to serve the most vulnerable people on this planet is at the very center of her being,” said Tramuto. “She is incredibly smart and wise beyond her years, and innately understands the importance of our mission to fulfill Article 25 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights – that everyone, no matter where they live, is entitled to basic health care.” Eaton is a 2009 graduate of Wells-Ogunquit High School, where she received the prestigious Tramuto Foundation Scholarship and attended the University of Maine at Orono. She graduated in 2013 with dual Bachelor of Arts degrees in abnormal/social psychology and sociology and immediately began her career at Health eVillages as the organization’s program manager. While working directly with Health eVillages’ strategic partners and programmatic organization, Eaton will continue managing the development and facilitation of group and one-onone training programs of Health eVillages’ applications, as well as for device loading and deployment. She will also continue managing impact evaluation and marketing. “I am so fortunate to work with an organization led by Donato and an incredibly dedicated and professional Board of Directors who share my passion for helping people – no matter where they live – gain access to the healthcare services they need,” Eaton said. “Our strategic partners represent a diversity

of interests and services, but we share a common goal of making this world more just and fair. I couldn’t be more excited to continue to be a part of the future of Heath eVillages.” Health eVillages collaborates to advance healthcare access and improve the quality of care by providing state-of-theart mobile health technology including medical reference and clinical decision support tools, as well as other community-focused resources, to medical and public health professionals in the most challenging clinical environments around the world. Partners include the Tramuto Foundation, Sharecare, Cherish Health, Skyscape, Global Impact, Medical Aid Films and more.

SMPDC Receives Economic Development Grant YORK COUNTY The Southern Maine Planning and Development Commission (SMPDC) has received a grant from the US Economic Development Administration (EDA) that will fund the development of economic recovery strategies to provide relief from the negative economic impacts of the global pandemic. The $400,000 grant will be used to develop a region-wide economic recovery and resiliency program and will target York County, southern Oxford County. The grant is part of a $1.6 million statewide grant recently announced by US Senators Susan Collins and Angus King that has been awarded to support the redevelopment and revitalization of small businesses and communities in Maine. The funding was awarded through the US Economic Development Administration’s (EDA) CARES Act Recovery Assistance Program.

According to Paul Schumacher, Executive Director of SMPDC, “Our region is one of the most visited coastal communities and as such, tourism has been a critical part of the southern Maine economy for over one hundred years. With this federal grant, we will hit the ground running and work to help the tourism industry immediately. We want to keep businesses in business.” The funding will assist SMPDC with developing an economic recovery plan, deploying disaster recovery coordinators, providing technical assistance, and staff support for pandemicresponse activities. SMPDC will address how to reach businesses, particularly in rural areas so they can access information, opportunities to help recovery and financing. Funds from the grant must be spent within the next two years. “This public health and economic crisis has taken a

toll on many small businesses and communities throughout Maine,” said Senators Collins and King in a joint statement. “We welcome this funding that will support these organizations in their ongoing efforts to connect small businesses, individuals, and families with the resources they need to weather this difficult time.” The CARES Act, which was signed into law on March 27, provided EDA with $1.5 billion for economic development assistance programs to help communities respond to the coronavirus. Southern Maine Planning and Development Commission (SMPDC) is a non-partisan nonprofit that cultivates thriving, sustainable communities and strengthens local governments by leading planning and economic development for 39 member towns in Southern Maine. For more information, visit www.smpdc.org.

Bank Creates Foundation, Strengthens Community Ties YORK COUNTY Maine Community Bank President and CEO Jeanne Hulit announced recently that the bank, and its Biddeford Savings and Mechanics Savings divisions, has created a charitable foundation to unite and support the communities they serve. “Both Biddeford Savings and Mechanics Savings have been strong community supporters for generations. The Biddeford and Mechanics Savings Charitable Foundation is structured to give back to the communities in a larger, more enduring way,” Hulit explained. “I am very pleased that the bank has chosen to create the Biddeford and Mechanics Savings Charitable Foundation. The two founding banks have long histories of serving their communities and donating time and resources,” noted Wayne Sherman, newly named chair of the foundation. “In this unprecedented time of need, it is appropriate for the combined bank to take a leadership role in supporting the communities they serve. This Foundation shows Maine Community Bank’s commitment to meet those needs.” The foundation’s mission is to help individuals and families in the bank’s local communities meet their basic needs and

achieve financial empowerment. In support of this long-term mission, the it will concentrate on two immediate goals: Supporting families and individuals in our communities who have been adversely impacted by COVID-19. The COVID-19 Relief Fund will concentrate on health, housing, and hunger; Helping the next generation overcome issues of inequality and build unity across lines of differences in our communities. The foundation has identified two programs that support our youth by providing safe spaces and encouraging acceptance of diversity in their areas – Tree Street Youth Center in Lewiston and the Maine Youth Action Network (MYAN) in Biddeford. The Foundation awarded $5,000 to each organization. Julia Sleeper, Co-Founder and Executive Director of Tree Street Youth said Mechanics Savings has long been a supporter of the work of Tree Street and that the $5,000 comes at a critical time. “COVID-19 has changed everything for us. We work primarily with new Americans. These are kids who arrive as asylum seekers or refugees.” Sleeper explained. “Our program gives them not only a safe place to go, but an opportunity to expand their minds and express

themselves through academics, arts, and sports.” Michael Forst, Director of The Maine Youth Action Network in Biddeford, a program of Opportunity Alliance, says the $5,000 is a huge boost for a new project at Biddeford High School. “This commitment will help us launch two important programs: racial equity and suicide prevention. These are two big concerns during troubling times,” Forst said. “If we want to see solid, positive change in our communities, we must begin with our young people. We appreciate that Biddeford Savings not only understands this but is doing something about it.” Biddeford Savings and Mechanics Savings have been financial partners to the people of Central and Southern Maine for the past 150 years. To help carry their commitment to the communities they serve, the two banks merged on January 1, becoming divisions of Maine Community Bank. The merger expands the lending capacity, product offerings, and branch service area, while keeping all decision making at the local level. They have branches in Auburn, Biddeford, Brunswick, Kennebunk, Lewiston, Scarborough, Waterboro, and Windham.

FINANCE & CAREER Employment Scams Target College Students Many college students are on the lookout for flexible, part-time employment to help cover their school expenses. Now, with the COVID-19 pandemic and many other people out of work, finding a job may be even more difficult and may create more pressure to find work quickly. If this situation describes you or a student in your life, watch out for scams. BBB Scam Tracker has gotten reports of employment scams impersonating professors and university departments. In June, a college student in New Jersey received an email that appeared to be from her university’s email domain: “This email was saying that I could make $250 a week plus $50 for gas if I put an advertisement on my car

and drove my normal route.” She later discovered that this was a vehicle wrap scam, a common job scam that has been around for a few years. Another college student in Oregon reported that, “I’m currently a college student and got contacted to interview for a Finance/Accounting internship... Due to this pandemic, it has been hard trying to find a job for this summer, so I read the employment offer and everything looked real. After I signed the contract (where they have my name, address, date of birth, phone number, email), it started getting suspicious. First, the company sent me a $2,000 check to mobile deposit, so I can Zelle transfer the payment ($860 and $1000)... I did it, not knowing that the funds would eventually be fraudulent and I was subject to em-

ployment scam.” She was later contacted by her bank that the check didn’t clear and she was likely the victim of a job scam. How the Scam Works You receive an email to your school email address encouraging you to apply for a job. The message appears to come from your school’s job placement office, student services department, or even a specific professor. The position – it may be anything from pet sitting to secret shopping -- sounds perfect for a college student. The work is easy, has flexible hours, and offers excellent pay. When you reply to the message, things start to get strange. The “employer” hires you without an interview. Then, they send you a check with instructions to deposit it before you’ve even done any

work. You are instructed to use this money to purchase gift cards, money orders, prepaid debit cards, or other supplies you’ll need for your new job. Part of what you purchase should be sent to your new employer. The rest of the money will be your payment. However, the check is a fake – a detail your bank will let you know a day or two after you deposit it. Any money you sent to your “employer” is gone for good. In addition, the scammers now have your personal information. How to Avoid Employment Scams Do your research. Before you say yes to any job, research the company that wants to hire you. Does the company have a professional website and le-

gitimate contact information? Search for what others saying about their experience with this company. Beware of red flags. Scammers often send emails with many typos and grammatical errors. They offer to hire you without an interview and even pay you before you’ve done any work. None of these are behaviors of a reputable business. Never send money to strangers. Never send funds in the form of cash, checks, gift cards or wire transfers to someone you don’t know or haven’t met. No legitimate company will ask you to pay them to get a job.

Senator Collins Visits South Berwick SOUTH BERWICK U.S. Senator Susan Collins visited several small businesses in downtown South Berwick recently to meet with small business owners, employees, and local residents. Stops included Nature’s Way Market, a full-service local grocery store, and South Berwick Pharmacy Seacoast Compounding Inc., an independent, full-service, neighborhood pharmacy. “During my visit to South Berwick today, I had wonderful discussions with members of the community. Small business owners and their employees have worked hard to keep their doors open during the COVID-19 pandemic and safely provide local residents with groceries, supplies, and services,” said Senator Collins. “Downtown businesses are the focal point of communities across our state.

Online Sweepstakes to Recognize U.S. Fire Departments NATIONWIDE In honor of Fire Prevention Week™, October 4-10, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and Domino’s are teaming up to launch an online sweepstakes that helps thank and recognize local U.S. fire departments for their year-round efforts to keep the public safe from fire and other hazards. “Fire departments work tirelessly to keep their communities safe from fire and other emergencies, often putting their own health and safety on the line to help protect others,” said Lorraine Carli, vice president of Outreach and Advocacy at NFPA. “This year in particular has presented unique challenges for fire departments, who have served on the frontlines of the pandemic.” NFPA and Domino’s encourage any and all individuals to nominate their local fire department for submission into the sweepstakes. Fifteen fire departments will be randomly selected and receive a $100 eGift card from Domino’s. Nominations must be submitted online by September 30[MS1]; winners will be officially announced during Fire Prevention Week. “People want to express

their thanks and appreciation to first responders, but they often don’t know how. This year’s Fire Prevention Week sweepstakes serves as a simple but important way to do just that,” said Carli. For the past 12 years, NFPA and Domino’s have joined forces to promote fire safety during Fire Prevention Week through a local program which matches fire departments with their local Domino’s store to conduct smoke alarm checks in their communities. “Our fire safety program is always a tremendous success, with participation and impact growing steadily each year,” said Jenny Fouracre, Domino’s

spokesperson. “This year, we wanted to do even more, and help give back to fire departments across the U.S. We hope everyone joins in by nominating their local department.” NFPA has been the official sponsor of Fire Prevention Week – the oldest public health observance on record – for more than 95 years. This year’s theme is “Serve Up Fire Safety in the Kitchen!™,” which focuses on cooking safety; cooking equipment is the leading cause of U.S. home fires and home fire injuries.

communities throughout the State of Maine are able to access the COVID-19 vaccine when it’s deployed,” said Senators Collins and King in a joint statement. “This important investment will help to ensure that all Mainers, regardless of age, race, income, or location, are able to access the vaccine and protect themselves against the coronavirus.” Through the CARES Act, and other measures, Congress has dedicated more than $6.5 billion in federal funding through the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) for the development of vaccines, treatments and other products to address COVID-19. The Administration has allocated more than $2.2 billion of this federal funding in deals with five vaccine manufacturers for COVID-19. While this funding is critical, it is also important to strengthen the ability

of states and local governments to boost their immunization infrastructure. Expanded COVID-19 Testing Governor Janet Mills and Commissioner of Health and Human Services Jeanne Lambrew announced that anyone in Maine can now get tested for COVID-19 without the need for a separate order from a health care provider. The Maine Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) has broadened its Standing Order to include all individuals who think they need a COVID-19 test. This means that participating sites may test anyone in Maine over the age of 12 months who feels they need a test, even if they don’t have a primary care provider or a written order from a clinician. Appointments will still be required. This order shall remain in place until further notice.

People and Business Profiles

Bogh Elected President of Home Builders & Remodelers Association SOUTH BERWICK South Berwick resident, and the co-owner of design-build firm Great Northern Builders, Maya Bogh announced her recent election as President of the Home Builders & Remodelers Association of Maine. Bogh will serve in the role for a oneyear term. Maya Bogh says “It is an honor and a privilege to be elected to serve as the President of the association. Len and I have been HBRAME members for 10 years and I have served on the Board for several of those years. I’m happy to take a turn in leadership. In my role as President, I will pursue the top priorities we’ve identified as the most valuable to our members which include providing access to a trusted network of local subcontractors, vendors, and partners. As well as advocating at the state level to be a voice for the industry so that updated codes or new regulations make sense both on paper and in real life. It is imperative to maintain a strong trade association to navigate the increasing complexity of our work in the construction industry.” HBRAME Executive Offi-

cer Kris Dorer says “Maya Bogh has been a source of energy and effective action for HBRAME over the years. We are thrilled to have her in this leadership role to guide the association through the current world climate as we enter an exciting new chapter of increased programming, advocacy and member benefits.” The Home Builders and Remodelers Association of Maine is actively seeking members during their summer new member drive. Prospective members are encouraged to visit the website to learn more about the value of memberships which include discounts to many national and local vendors, education and networking opportunities, advocacy at the state and national level.

Hospital Welcomes New Providers YORK York Hospital is pleased to welcome five new physicians, across a variety of specialties, to its medical staff this August. Glenn Jones, Jr., M.D. and Andrew Oliver, M.D. will be joining Pediatrics of York Hospital’s expanding team, while Sukeerti Kesar, M.D. joins the gastroenterology staff of Atlantic Digestive Specialists. Kittery Optometric Associates welcomes Lindsay Michaud, O.D., and Jessica Schnur, M.D. is the newest member of Surgery Associates of York Hospital. Dr. Jones earned his medical degree and completed his residency in pediatrics at the University of Maryland School of Medicine in Baltimore, MD. Additionally, his extensive medical volunteer efforts include facilitation of a “Remote Area Mobile” Clinic in Grundy, VA, working with residents who have developmental and mental health disabilities at Paxton Street Home in Harrisburg, PA and assisting child life specialists at Ped Pals in

Baltimore, helping to improve the hospital stay of pediatric patients. Dr. Kesar, a graduate of Pennsylvania State University College of Medicine, completed her residency in internal medicine at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, and following, completed the Gastroenterology Fellowship Program at Tufts Medical Center. She is board-certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine. Outside of the workplace, Dr. Kesar has previously volunteered with the World Blindness Organization, assisting in mission to perform cataract surgeries and corneal transplants in the Dominican Republic. Lindsay Michaud, O.D. comes to the team at Kittery Optometric Associates after earning her doctor of optometry from the New England College of Optometry, and completing her residency at the Maine VA Healthcare System in both Bangor and Augusta. Additionally, she has worked as an optometrist at Advanced Clinical Eye Care in Bangor and Auburn. As the

Center for Wildlife Continues Critical Work CAPE NEDDICK “Their mother built her nest in a small hydrangea tree on my front patio of our vacation home three years ago. My chair was next to the tree and I would sit there a lot and she would land on my chair. She trusted me around her babies” shares a recent community member that dropped off three recently orphaned robins at the Center for Wildlife. The mother robin was heartbreakingly discovered following a recent hail storm, her wings outstretched protecting her days old babies that surely would have perished if not for her last heroic act. The babies are now thriving in the Center’s overflowing baby songbird nursery, and are three of the 150 new injured and orphaned wild animals brought to the clinic each week by caring members of the community, animal control officers, and game wardens. The field of wildlife medicine is a tremendously underfunded one, receiving just 1-2% of philanthropic giving overall with no additional state or federal funding. A global pandemic during the busiest season has certainly challenged the Center which continued treating 190 different species and has served 120 communities in Maine and Seacoast NH and MA for 34

years. “We’ve definitely had to switch gears, rapidly, but we are grateful to remain open and focused on our work for wildlife and the community. Though we continue to face uncertainty, our community has shown us that they value our work, and that empathy, human kindness, and connection with nature is needed now more than ever” shares Executive Director, Kristen Lamb. The Center has been able to keep staff, animals, and rescuers safe by adjusting protocols and taking measures like admitting animals outside, and not allowing the public indoors. The volunteer and internship programs have been paused which means 15 fewer hearts and hands available on shift each day. Beyond keeping the wildlife medical clinic and wildlife assistance hotline running, Center for Wildlife’s education team stepped up and just one week into the shutdown began offering “Morning Meetings” via Facebook Live every day at 10 a.m. These virtual programs feature wildlife ambassadors alongside biology, ecology, and stewardship lessons, and are also a place for our community to connect, laugh, cry, and learn. These daily programs are viewed by thousands, and participants tune in from across the nation and world.

Just as the pandemic hit, Center for Wildlife was entering the public phase of its $5.5M capital campaign to fund and build a state-of-the-art wildlife center and campus. Jewett Construction, McHenry Architecture, and Ambit Engineering have taken the lead on the build, and while the project is nearly complete, weekend tours and large scale fundraising events aimed at raising the remaining $300,000 were put on hold. “We have not stopped working towards our dream for wildlife and the community. Last week, the Planning Board approved field changes which will allow us to apply for our Temporary Occupancy permit. Thanks to Kennebunk Savings Bank and 300 lead donors, we’ve been able to raise and secure financing for $5.2M, and we are closer than ever to finishing our new facility and being able to open our doors. We cannot wait to be the place where our staff can safely and more efficiently heal wildlife, and for people to connect, gather, and heal themselves in nature” shares Lamb. Features of the new facility include a stone amphitheater, nature center, auditorium, and wildlife medical clinic. To learn more, visit www. thecenterforwildlife.org.

Vice President of Volunteer Optometric Services to Humanity, Dr. Michaud organized ocular screenings and fundraising projects, raising money to bring 30 students and doctors to the Dominican Republic. Andrew Oliver, M.D. joins the staff of Pediatric Associates of York Hospital after earning his medical degree at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine in Farmington, CT and completing his residency in pediatrics at Yale New Haven Hospital, New Haven, CT. As a volunteer, Dr. Oliver’s efforts include physician representative at New Haven’s after school and summer program, LEAP; member of medical clinic for pediatric patients at a women’s shelter, “My Sister’s Place,” in Hartford, CT and medical provider at Migrant Farm Workers Clinic, Farmington, CT. Dr. Jessica Schnur, earned her medical degree from Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York, NY and completed her residency at North Shore – Long

Island Jewish Medical Center, Manhasset, NY. Board certified in General Surgery, Dr. Schnur attended Albert Einstein College of Medicine’s Fellowship Program of Minimally Invasive and Bariatric Surgery. Following, she held appointments as an attending surgeon at Peconic Bay Medi-

cal Center, North Shore – Long Island Jewish Syosset Hospital and Stony Brook University Hospital, where her scope of practice included general surgery, colorectal surgery, advanced laparoscopy and acute care surgery. For more information, visit www.yorkhospital.com.

...RECYCLE from page 6 Chair of Ecomaine’s Outreach & Recycling Committee. “It is Ecomaine’s hope that this funding can help maintain some of the important programming around recycling, compost, and waste reduction that we’ve seen in our schools. We’re looking forward to seeing some creative proposals in 2020-21.” Past grant proposals have ranged from purchasing inschool recycling bins or education materials to offsetting compost hauling fees, assisting schools to participate in tours of Ecomaine, or purchasing electric hand driers to reduce paper towel waste. If selected, school recipi-

ents can receive up to $5,000 of $25,000 in available grant funds for the 2020-21 school year. Awardees are chosen based on the following criteria: Project outline and school commitment; Ease of project replication; Likelihood of success and program sustainability and how compelling and worthy the funding is. Following the October 30 deadline, proposals will be reviewed by Ecomaine’s Outreach & Recycling Committee, and recipients will be notified by midNovember. More information on the entire grants program can be found at www.ecomaine.org.

~ Pets ~ Safe Haven Humane Society WELLS Our Cattail Farm House houses two kitties who are now available for adoption. We’re looking forward to you coming to visit them! Set up an appointment by calling 207-229-8314. These are friendly, healthy kitties, in need of your personal attention so they realize they finally have a forever friend. It’s so sad to see them begging for attention or pawing for pets from our volunteer team when they’re leaving after their shift. Sierra and Bonnie lie back down in their chairs and wait until the next visitor appears. Life is too short to have no home and loving person to provide the confidence, stability and happiness that only a good home will provide for them. Bonnie is a black, shorthaired 10 year-old who’s hungry for love and attention. Sierra, a lovely 4 year-old torti who wants a home where she can be cherished. Each is a solo kitty, not bonded, and each deserves their own forever homes.

To prevent unwanted donations from being dumped at Cattail Farm, we are now accepting donations only from those with an appointment. Each donor is given an ID number.

Seed Sale Benefits Birds and Nature Education WELLS Fall is the time to stock up on bird seed to keep goldfinches, juncos, chickadees, blue jays, and all your other feathered friends visiting your feeders throughout the coming winter. For 22 years now, York County Audubon and the Wells Reserve at Laudholm have teamed up with Blue Seal to offer premium-quality seed that is fresh from the current year’s crop. This annual fundraiser lets you fill your bird seed needs while providing a boost to education programs at two local environmental nonprofits. Download an order form at

One kitty is 21 years old! Another was dumped outdoors, defenseless, subject to a predator’s attack. Her sibling was already a victim.

Provide food, water and shelter, and contact a true no-kill shelter for help. Do not turn your back on strays. Winter is coming, the ground will soon

freeze. The snow will fly, the winds will blow. Let’s save them while it’s still warm.

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.

~ News & Classfieds ~ MCCS Reports Huge Increase in Graduates in June AUGUSTA Demand for short-term workforce training is at an alltime high at Maine’s community colleges, which saw a 300 percent increase in trainee graduates over the last two years. That figure – 3,625 people trained in the fiscal year ending June 30 – doesn’t capture the hundreds of students currently enrolled in scores of new, free, online health care training programs. “In the midst of a trying time, Maine’s community colleges are delivering on their promise to find new and creative ways to educate and train people so they’re prepared to step into good jobs right away,” Maine Community College System (MCCS) President David Daigler said. When the coronavirus hit and waves of layoffs swept the state, the MCCS Maine Quality Centers (MQC) quickly added new, free, online training programs for in-demand jobs in the healthcare industry. The programs prepare graduates for jobs such as medical records technician, pharmacy technician, medical lab worker, and medical insurance specialist. “We knew we had to act quickly to help people find jobs and help businesses find qualified workers,” said Dan Belyea, MCCS chief workforce development officer. “MQC is designed to respond to just these kind of sudden fluctuations in workforce demand – providing trainees with targeted training that’s available for free, nearby, and in

a timely fashion.” “The demand for this training has been phenomenal,” Daigler added. The programs launched soon after Governor Janet Mills signed an executive order in April loosening restrictions on how MQC job training funds are spent. Of the 47 new healthcare training programs launched since the governor’s order, 36 are full. The training generally takes 5-12 months to complete. “The healthcare training means we’re building a pipeline for hundreds of newly skilled Mainers to graduate in the next few months and step right into vacant jobs in the healthcare industry,” Daigler said. The COVID-19 safety training programs, developed in partnership with HospitalityMaine, are free, online courses that take just hours to complete. Workers in the tourism industry can earn badges in four areas: restaurant readiness, lodging readiness, stress management and de-escalation. In addition to the COVID-related programs, Maine Quality Centers is re-introducing several traditional workforce programs that were suspended due to COVID-19. In July and August, classes began for a popular mechanized logging operations training program at Northern Maine Community College and a long-standing welding and manufacturing program at Southern Maine Community College. MQC has also launched a new manufacturing program to train up to 220 people for jobs
