38th Annual Harvestfest at York Beach YORK Now in its 38th year, Harvestfest is a one-day event located along Short Sands Beach in York. The event started as an end-ofthe-season ox roast and barbecue for York Region Chamber of Commerce members, which was so much fun that when word got around, the chamber decided to open the party up to the public. The chamber no longer does the barbecue, but local non-profits and restaurants now offer any variety of delicious foods at the event instead. The chamber is pleased to announce that all four Presenting Sponsors are returning again this year: Kennebunk Savings Bank, the Cutty Sark Hotel,

York Schools Seek Focus Group for Playground Project
YORK The York School Department (YSD) and Village Elementary School (VES) are seeking community members to serve on a focus group for its Community Playground Improvement Project for the upper play area at Village Elementary School. VES is a K-1 public school, and VES children use its playground during school hours. When school is not in session, the outdoor playground serves as a gathering area and play space for York residents, community organizations, and vacationers. Importantly, this outdoor play area is also a living memorial honoring Matt Cruz, a loving and adventurous 6-year-old boy who attended Village Elementary School and tragically passed away in 1999 following an accident on school grounds. Earlier this year, York voters approved $340K for Phase I of the project, which included
replacing the upper playground. The YSD plans to conclude Phase I construction between mid-June and August of 2024, during summer break. The York School Department envisions an outdoor space that underscores the importance of play in learning and development. Its potential design aims to cater to individuals with diverse abilities, focusing on both the environmental impact of the project and the playground itself. The goal is to create a space that mirrors the essence of the Town of York and the natural beauty of Maine’s seacoast. Moreover, YSD is keen on exploring the potential to mitigate stormwater issues stemming from the property’s slope in close proximity to Mill Pond and the York River. The Department sees this as an opportunity to engage both students and the community in learning about natural ecosystems within the Mount Agamen-

ticus Watershed. The Phase I Focus Group will advise the York School Department on conceptual designs, community involvement, potential partnerships, environmental opportunities and concerns, grants and funding opportunities, and project plans. YSD anticipates the Phase I Focus Group to meet four to six times between October and May. Some members may be active between formal meetings. The group’s work is expected to be completed by May of 2024. For more information, contact Beth Hutchins, Principal of VES, YSD, at bhutchins@yorkschools.org or 207-363-4870.

The volunteers will tell anyone that they could not get any desk work done without Quincy’s assistance. This charming black and white kitty makes everyone’s day more fun. Quincy’s specialty is desk work and greeting – the minute the lobby door of the shelter opens, he is there. In between greeting visitors, Quincy likes to check out the action at the bird feeders outside
Emma’s Angels NORTH BERWICK We have a special kitty of the week. Kimbella came to us as an owner surrender. Her owner has many cats, and Kimbella was being picked on by two of the other cats in the home. Kimbella is six years old, spayed and up-to-date on her vaccinations. She is a large kitty. Kimbella is a shy, sweet girl who needs an understanding person with a quiet home. We would like her to be the only pet, so she can have all the attention she needs and deserves. If you have a nice, quiet home and would like a sweet girl for company, call us. Emma’s Angels Rescue is a foster-based, all-volunteer organization in North Berwick. We are in need of dry dog food at this time. Donations can be left in our drop box at 30 Meeting House Road in North Berwick. Thanks in advance!

the window in the garden. Then, since he is Safe Haven’s “official hall monitor,” he patrols the hall and checks into the glass doors of each cat room. Quincy makes a final inspection on the progress of the office work. If satisfied, he will then climb into his personal sleeping cave, located in a desk cabinet. It is nice and quiet and dark there, and yet still close by. Quincy falls into a drowsy sleep and dreams, and as he dreams, his whiskers twitch. He is most likely dreaming about the birds at the feeder! Then he hears the lobby door click open, and he is back to work! It is a long day for this poor, overworked cat. The volunteers at Safe Haven hope someone can rescue Quincy from his long days of sacrifice and drudgery! Quincy is 14 years young

and has a grade 3- 4 heart murmur, which the vets say is not a health issue for him. He is doing just fine, needs no medication and displays otherwise perfect health. Quincy has a big personality, which would be wasted on anyone who does not appreciate his charms. He wants a home with people who will appreciate his keen level of sociability, and give him the love and pats he craves. Quincy mentioned he hopes whoever adopts him has lots of windows and birdfeeders! Safe Haven has an indooronly policy for cats, and it saddens and concerns all to see the increase in missing cats in the community. Safe Haven recommends pet owners inspect screens and doors, and review family rules to ensure they are preventing their pets from darting out the door, especially during deliveries and repairmen visits, or when company is stopping by. It never hurts to have a sign at the entrance telling guests not to let the cat out. There are many predators outside and sadly, cats can also become victims to human cruelty

Time to Replace the Computer?
NATIONWIDE In a world driven by digital devices, it is safe to say that most everyone’s daily lives revolve around their personal technology, whether that might be a smartphone, tablet, desktop computer or laptop. A recent report provided by market data statistics portal Statista reveals that nearly half of all private households globally own a computer, with developing countries close behind at one-third of households. Technology is a useful tool when it operates seamlessly, but when the phone or the laptop starts to lag or encounter issues, these once-invaluable devices can quickly become a source of frustration. While routine maintenance, system updates and repairs can extend the lifespan of a computer, phone or tablet, there comes a point when investing in new equipment becomes necessary. Different IT experts offer varying opinions on the lifespan of computers. Online computer help resource Computer Hope suggests replacing a computer every four years, while computer troubleshooter website Home Computer Help recommends five years for desktops and three to four for laptops is a good time frame. On the other hand, device
expert One Computer Guy believes that a laptop can endure up to seven or eight years, with regular maintenance and upgrades. If any user finds themselves still using the same computer as a 10 or 15-year high school reunion approaches, it may be time to consider an upgrade. Here are some signs indicating it might be time for an upgrade: Outdated software. If one receives pop-up warnings or emails from software manufacturers stating that their products will no longer be supported on the operating system, it is time to update the operating system (OS). If the computer is unable to update, it may be time to trade it in for a newer model. Sometimes hard drives can be replaced or repaired, which may extend a few more years’ worth of use before the final trade-in. Regular operating system and firmware updates provide essential security patches and troubleshooting solutions to safeguard data. Neglecting updates increases the risk of data breaches and other issues, as per Consumer Reports. Poor performance. Sluggish boot times, delayed program launches, slow file-saving processes, or frequent freezing and crashing can indicate that a computer needs an upgrade. Ini-

Tech for Small Businesses NATIONWIDE Small businesses are vital cogs in any economy, contributing significantly to the uniqueness and desirability of a local community. The privately owned enterprises have a lasting impact on their surroundings, particularly when it comes to economic activity and employment opportunities. Supporting locally owned businesses is a great way to bol-
ster the local economy and enhance community connectivity. To achieve this, business owners are wise to continue effectively connecting with consumers to inspire their support, and thus maintaining steady sales. Technology can play an important role in facilitating this connection and driving business growth. The following are a few tips for utilizing technology to enhance small business prac-
tially, try freeing up internal hard drive memory space or boosting RAM to alleviate performance bottlenecks. Overheating. Consistent overheating is a clear sign that a computer or laptop is not functioning efficiently. Blocked cooling fans can lead to overheating, but random overheating caused by excessive dust accumulation or other factors can harm internal components, as reported by Bustle. While present-day computers generally have longer lifespans than earlier models, they are not immune to wear and tear. If persistent issues disrupt work or play, it may be time to consider investing in a new computer. Expanding needs. As technology evolves, so do the consumer’s needs. If a current computer can no longer handle the demands of the latest software updates, games, or even everyday tasks, it may be a sign that an upgrade is necessary. Whether it is graphic design, video editing, or gaming, keeping up with the
latest hardware ensures a smooth and enjoyable experience. Battery life. For laptop users dwindling battery life can be a significant concern. If the laptop barely holds a charge or requires frequent battery replacements, it is worth considering a more energy-efficient and up-todate model. Connectivity. Newer computers come equipped with the newer connectivity options, such as USB-C and Thunderbolt ports. If struggling with outdated connectivity and slow data transfer speeds, it might be time to switch to a computer or device with newer ports and connections. Is the computer showing any of these signs? If so, it may be time to explore the latest technology offerings. Stay ahead of the curve to ensure the digital experience remains smooth and efficient. Upgrading to a new computer can enhance productivity and open doors to exciting possibilities in the ever-evolving world of technology.

Optimize for mobile rankings. Mobile searches are now the norm rather than the exception these days, and small business owners should prioritize utilizing mobile optimization. Tech reference site SEMrush reports that mobile rankings can vary significantly from desktop rankings, highlighting the importance of utilizing mobilefriendly website platforms and Search Engine Optimization (SEO) strategies. Optimizing for mobile rankings has become an important marketing technique for small business owners. As mobile search continues to surge in popularity, it is vital for any small business to acknowledge that a substantial number of potential customers will access the business’ website via smartphones and tablets. Prioritizing mobile optimization for a small business ensures a seamless and engaging user experience across all browsing devices. Staying upto-date with current mobile SEO trends and search engine algorithms is crucial to maintaining a competitive edge online. Enhance social media presence. Social media is a powerful tool for small businesses. A study by Sprout Social in 2020 revealed that nine out of ten consumers are more likely to purchase products from brands they follow on social media. Small businesses can harness this by strengthening their social media presence and engaging with their audience regularly. Instagram and Facebook are still good venues for business advertising. A new small business just starting out may want to consider starting up a TikTok Shop as well, which may increase brand visibility and boost sales. Prioritize customer service. While interactions with a real person will likely remain a consumer preference when they have questions or concerns about products and services, it is essential for small business owners to adapt to the evolving landscape of customer service.

Randolph Fredrick Brogan, 77 OGUNQUIT – Randolph Fredrick Brogan, 77, of Ogunquit, died Wednesday, October 4, 2023 at Portsmouth Hospital, after a long battle with kidney disease. Randolph (Randy) was born on November 15, 1945, in Middletown, NY, to Randolph and Isabelle (Medrick) Brogan and moved to Hyde Park, NY, when he was eight. Randy only had eyes for one woman: his beloved wife of 55 years, Sara (Sally). He first saw her on the playground and finally managed to get a date with her years later in high school. Randy and Sally were married in Poughkeepsie, NY, in the summer of 1968, after college. W h e n R a n d y ’s d r a f t number was called in the fall of 1968, he entered the Army and served his country in Vietnam as a combat medic. A member of Bravo Company’s 3rd Battalion, 25th Infantry Division, he was awarded the Purple Heart and the Bronze Star with Valor for his heroism. Upon returning home he was stationed at Fort Sill, OK, where their eldest son, David, was born in 1971. Randy’s first job opportunity out of the Army launched his career in pharmaceutical sales, taking him to Connecticut, where he and Sally welcomed their second son, Jeffery, in 1975. Two years later, the family relocated to Clay, NY, and later to Baldwinsville, NY. After the boys finished high school, Randy and Sally moved to North Hampton, NH, for a time, before retiring to their beloved summer home in Ogunquit, 23 years ago. Randy was a hard worker and well-respected by his colleagues. He made it a priority to attend as many of the boys’ Cub Scout and sporting events as possible, and cherished family time at home. He especially loved holiday gatherings. In his free time, he enjoyed golfing, crosscountry skiing on snow-covered golf courses, and routing for the Syracuse Orangemen. He made the most of retirement, making up for the busy years by spending time with Sally, enjoying Ogunquit 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.

FINANCE & CAREER Real Estate Information Expo YORK Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate/The Masiello Group (BHG/Masiello) is pleased to announce a very special event. The York office has designed an educational event for consumers who are either thinking of selling their current home or considering a home purchase. This event is designed around two comprehensive seminars which will be presented by Stephen Bousquet, a real estate broker at The Masiello Group and a faculty member of the Real Estate Institute of New England. The first session is titled
“So It’s Time to Sell Your Home.” Steve designed the seminar to provide fundamental information on what to do and what to expect when selling a home. Participants will walk through the entire selling process, from preparing a home all the way through to closing day. The second session is called “So Its Time to Buy Your Home,” which similar to the first seminar, will focus on the step-by-step process of purchasing a home, starting with how to get it ready for sale, all the way through the closing. Additionally, representatives from CMG Financial will be available to answer questions and describe
various mortgage products, and Great East Title will also be on hand to provide information about how title searches work and why they are important to the real estate process. Chris Ross from North Coast Home Inspections will cover the home inspection process. BHG/Masiello is also fortunate to have representatives from Patco Construction participate. The seminar takes place Saturday, October 21 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. Both sessions are scheduled to run 1.5 hours. Space is limited, and registration is highly suggested. For more information, call 802-793-9951.
$1.2M for Salmon Habitat Restoration STATEWIDE Senators Susan Collins and Ang us King recently announced that four Maine organizations will receive a combined total of $1,196,000 from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOA A) National Marine Fisheries Service to help restore
habitats for endangered Atlantic salmon in Maine. Maine is home to the only remaining populations of wild Atlantic salmon, a species listed as endangered since 2000 due to threats from dams, pollution, and historic overfishing. “The health of our natural habitats is critical to the sur-

vival of species like the Atlantic salmon,” said both senators in a joint statement. “These investments will support the protection and restoration of our existing, native Maine salmon habitats. The funding will also support efforts to reverse the habitat degradation that has contributed to the declining Atlantic salmon population in Maine’s watersheds.” The funding is allocated as follows: At la nt ic Sa l mon Federation - $50,000 to implement five projects aimed at restoring access to Atlantic salmon spawning and rearing habitats in the Kennebec River watershed; to conduct a fish passage feasibility

This grant comes to to KFL through the Maine State Library by way of the Maine Jobs & Recovery Plan. This funding will be used to expand services for the community’s remote workforce through improvements to Wi-Fi and electricity, technology additions, and
new furniture. The staff at KFL would like to thank the Town of Kennebunk and the Kennebunk-KennebunkportArundel Chamber of Commerce for supporting them in this competitive grant application process.

study at the Chesterville Wildlife Management Area Dam. Project SHARE - $264,000 to replace undersized culverts at 13 sites across the Dennys, Machias, Pleasant, Union, and Narraguagus River watersheds; to restore freshwater habitats in the Narraguagus River watershed; and to conduct fish passage feasibility studies at the Great Works Dam and at Marion Falls fishway. Downeast Salmon Federation - $277,000 to support fish passage improvements at the Gardner Lake Dam; to conduct fish passage feasibility studies at the Cherryfield Ice Control Dam on the Narraguagus River, and the Gardner Lake Dam on the East Machias River; and to support future habitat restoration in those watersheds. The Nature Conservancy - $605,000 to complete the final designs to remove Guilford Dam and restore the adjacent floodplain; and to improve fish passage at three high-priority road crossings over streams in the
Piscataquis River watershed. Habitat degradation is one of the largest obstacles to recovering endangered species like Atlantic salmon. Efforts funded through these partnerships will target priority habitat restoration actions determined by NOAA Fisheries to be necessary for Atlantic salmon recovery. Both senators have been consistently supporting Atlantic salmon habitats in Maine. They previously secured $1.5 million for Atlantic Salmon Habitat restoration projects and more than $7.5 million in federal funding to restore fish access to migratory and spawning habitats within the traditional Passamaquoddy homeland. They also secured more than $22 million to remove dams and install fish ladders in the Penobscot and St. Croix Rivers allowing the endangered Atlantic salmon, along with other fish species and wildlife, to move along migrations routes with ease.

The nonprofit organization, based in Ogunquit, is dedicated to being a source of hope and healing for families impacted by childhood cancer and child loss. Rett’s Roost offers holistic retreats and meaningful gatherings that create connection, while honoring the process of grief and power of love.

tivities for families. The majority of the charity’s revenue comes from individual donors through the organization’s online campaigns and community events. The nonprofit also receives funds from a small number of grantors, such as One Mission, the Joy in Childhood Foundation through Dunkin’, and the Care Camps Children’s Oncology Camping Association. They also benefit from business and corporate sponsorships for events like the Superhero 5K and the Behold the Cold Polar Plunge in March. Throughout 2023, Rett’s Roost has sponsored free, overnight retreats for families in the childhood cancer community, in addition to several other meaningful gatherings that promote hope and healing.

~ Arts & Entertainment ~ Maine AFIO October Meeting KENNEBUNK The Maine chapter of the Association of Former Intelligence Officers (AFIO) welcomes Maine native Ambassador David Pearce as the October speaker. Ambassador Pearce will present his talk, “Tending The Garden – U.S. Engagement Abroad and Why It Matters.” He will speak about diplomatic engagements in past and present situations, from warlike confrontations to those that affect a country’s internal stability due to economic, cultural, or other problems. Ambassador Pearce began his career with ten years in international journalism experiences before serving in the U.S. Diplomatic Service for 35 years. He has held numerous diplomatic positions, including ambassador to Algeria and to Greece. He has been a key figure in a wide variety of diplomatic efforts throughout Europe and the Middle East. He is an avid student of Greek, Roman, and Islamic history, art, and literature, as well as being a noted watercolor artist. The Ambassador will delve into the essential principles of diplomatic involvement, span-
ning historical context during both World War I and World War II. Drawing from his wealth of experience in both Greece and the Middle East, he will underscore the importance of successful diplomacy, where the measure of achievement lies in preventing conflict. Despite diligent efforts, the unpredictable nature of international affairs serves as a constant reminder that uncertainty looms, making diplomacy an ever-vital endeavor. The Saturday, October 21 meeting is open to the public, and will begin at 2 p.m. in the Economos Hall at Kennebunk High School, 89 Fletcher Street. A question and answer period will follow the presentation. For more information, visit www. afiomaine.net.
Artist Ronald Phillips Prevoir at Oak Street Bistro ALFRED Local artist Ronald Phil lips Prevoir wil l showcase his original Native American art at the Oak Street Bistro in Alfred the weekend of Friday, October 20. The three-day showing and reception is titled “Back To Nature: A Study In Native American Art.” Ron Phillips Prevoir combines various elements of his life experiences to create works that educate and inspire. As an active artist and educator, he prefers watercolor for its fluidness, oil for its patina and texture, and wood in its natural state. Inspiration is drawn from nature and his own Native American background. Ron has held memberships in the Art Guild of the Kennebunks and the York Art Asso-
ciation, and his group and oneman shows have been popular across all of New England. Many of his works are permanently displayed in both commercial and residential locations throughout Maine.
A graduate of the Massachusetts College of Art in Boston, MA, Ron received his Masters degree in education from Assumption College in Worcester, MA. He has been a teacher of art for many years at both the high school and college levels.

WEST KENNEBUNK The vibrant echoes of traditional Irish music are set to reverberate once more in West Kennebunk as Concerts in West K! proudly announces the return of the beloved Irish trio, Fodhla (FO-lah). Comprising of Nicole Rabata on flute, Ellery Klein on fiddle, and Bethany Waickman on guitar, Fodhla is renowned for their electrifying performances that captivate audiences with
high-energy artistry. Hailing from both Portland and Boston, the members of Fodhla hold a special place in the hearts of Concerts in West K! attendees. Their musical prowess is firmly rooted in the time-honored traditions of Irish melodies and ornamentation, which both Klein and Rabata meticulously honed during their time playing in Ireland. The result is a fusion of fiddle
and f lute melodies that transport listeners to the shores of the Emerald Isle itself, while Bethany Waickman’s guitar work provides an inventive and rhythmic underpinning, born from years of experience playing for contra dances. Mark calendars for an enchanting afternoon on Sunday, October 22, as Fodhla takes center stage at the West Kennebu n k Un ited Me t hod i st Church, 160 Alfred Road in West Kennebunk. Admission is available at the door, with a suggested donation of $20 per person.

Health & Fitness Finding Our Voices: Breaking the Silence on Domestic Abuse YORK COUNTY In recognition of National Domestic Abuse Awareness Month, several Maine public libraries are partnering with Finding Our Voices, a grassroots nonprofit organization, to shed light on the pervasive issue of domestic abuse. This October, public libraries in the area are joining forces to amplify survivor voices through photo exhibits, panel discussions, and short films focused on emotional abuse and its profound impact on children. On Tuesday, October 17 at 6:30 p.m., the York Public Library will host “Finding Our Voices - Survivors Breaking the Silence of Domestic Abuse.” The event will include powerful short films aimed at ending
the stigma and shame of abuse. After the short films, the event will feature a panel of domestic abuse survivors who will share their stories and then lead a community conversation centered around emotional abuse and its impact on children. In addition, the Rice Public Library in Kittery will be exhibiting the Finding Our Voices posters, which feature photo portraits of 45 Maine domestic abuse survivors ages 18-83. The heart of the awareness campaign lies in the voices of survivors. As Patrisha McLean, the president of Finding Our Voices, states, “We are here as women who have managed to cross over to the bright side of safety and freedom, to tell everyone that it does happen to indepen-
dent, smart, and accomplished people... emotional abuse is abuse, it is not our shame. There is a way out.” Panel participants include Rebekah Lowell, the illustrator of the 2023 Common Ground Fair poster; Sarah Graham (pictured) , studio manager of Yoga on York; 83-year-old Mary Lou Smith from Scarborough, who endured four decades of abuse; a pharmacist from Biddeford, and a young teacher whose journey from emotional abuse was aided by attending a Finding Our Voices event. These diverse voices underscore the universality and complexity of domestic abuse experiences. Finding Our Voices has been working tirelessly to destigmatize domestic abuse for victims and provide peer-topeer support to break the cycle of isolation and financial abuse. The organization’s work includes financial assistance, the pro bono dental program Find-
Bill to Help Servicemembers Access Benefits NATIONWIDE U.S. Senators recently introduced a bill that would provide support to veterans in the Transition Assistance Program (TAP). The TAP Promotion Act would allow accredited representatives from Veterans Service Organizations (VSOs), or other organizations, participate in TAP classes to help transitioning servicemembers file Benefits Delivery at Discharge (BDD). Currently, TAP classroom instructors are not legally allowed to help veterans fill out benefits paperwork. Through BDD, servicemembers can file expedited claims and complete medical evaluations before leaving service. Receiving accelerated claims decisions means transitioning servicemembers would have minimal gaps in essential care like mental health counseling and medication manage-
ment once they officially leave service. “Every year approximately 250,000 servicemembers transition out of military service into civilian life. Whether the servicemember is finishing their first deployment, or retiring, transitioning back into civilian life is a major life event full of uncertainties,” said Senator King (I-ME), who co-sponsored the legislation with fellow Senators. “The TAP Promotion Act would allow these servicemembers to connect with an informed, VA accredited representative who can mentor them in the process of applying for and receiving the benefits they earned. Thanks to my colleagues for understanding the importance of serving our veterans—just as they have served us throughout their careers.” “The Transition Assistance Program is invaluable for service-

The goal of the library tour is to reframe domestic abuse and help the public understand its intricacies and pervasiveness. Public libraries, as central hubs for communities, serve as ideal venues for these essential conversations. Michelle Conners, director of the Kennebunk Free Library, highlights their role as places for social interaction and collaboration, providing safe spaces to address challenging topics like domestic abuse. She adds, “We don’t like to be quiet here.” Sponsors for the York County Finding Our Voices events include Kennebunk Savings, Cosmetic Enhancement Center of New England, Hurl-

Atlantic Orthopaedics, York Hospital Offer Lunch & Learn YORK More than 52 million men and women in the U.S. suffer from some form of arthritis. Contrary to what many believe, it is not limited to those over 50. To help educate the community on the causes, risk factors, and treatment strategies to manage symptoms of hand arthritis, Maximilian Meyer, MD, from Atlantic Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine, will present “Get A Grip: Battling Hand Arthritis Head-On.” The presentation will be held on Thursday, October 26, 12-1 p.m. at the York Public Library, 15 Long Sands Road, in York. A Q&A session will follow the presentation. Dr. Meyer, a fellowshiptrained hand and upper extremity surgeon, understands the tremendous impact that
hand and arm problems can have on patients’ lives. Attendees will learn about common joints in the hand affected by arthritis, with an emphasis on the base of the thumb and the bones at the tips of the fingers. His treatment philosophy centers on listening to and working together with patients to create individualized care plans – both surgical and non-surgical – that help them return to an active lifestyle. Maximilian A. Meyer, MD, a native of New England, earned his BA from Georgetown University in Washington D.C. and MD from Northwestern University in Chicago, IL. He completed his orthopedic surgical residency at the Harvard Combined Orthopaedic Residency Program in Boston, MA, and served as chief resident at Massachusetts General
Hospital. He then completed his Hand & Upper Extremity fellowship at the University of Colorado where he gained expertise in complex upper limb reconstruction, microsurgery, and arthroscopic management of sports injuries. Outside of the practice, Dr. Meyer has participated in medical mission trips to Haiti, India, and Honduras and presents his hand and orthopedics research locally, nationally, and internationally. Dr. Meyer sees patients at Atlantic Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine locations in Portsmouth, NH, and on the York Hospital campus. All attendees will receive a complimentary boxed lunch during the session. For more details and to register, visit www.atlanticorthopaedics.org/lunchandlearn, email info@yorkhospital. com, or call 207-351-2385.
Additional Funding for Mental Health Services STATEWIDE Recently, U.S. Senators Susan Collins and Ang us K ing announced that the Maine Department of Health and Human Services (Maine DHHS) will receive a total of $287,194 from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Ser vices Administration’s (S A M H S A) C o m m u n i t y Mental Health Services Block Grant ( M H BG) program.
This funding is part of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (BSCA), and is in addition to the more than $4 million Maine DHHS received in Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 through the MHBG program. “Mental health remains a critical component of overall community health,” said Collins and King in a joint statement. “This funding will help to enhance our state’s capacity
to address mental health challenges effectively while helping to ensure that every individual in our state has access to the support they need.” The MHBG program supports grantees in carrying out plans for providing comprehensive community mental health services. Specific targeted populations include adults with serious mental illnesses and children with serious emotional
Trooper Black Foundation 5K YORK The Trooper Black Foundation 5K For First Responders is set to take place on Saturday, October 21 at 10 a.m. The scenic run/walk recognizes and supports the vital work of all first responders in local communities. A similar event called the Southern Maine Thin Blue Line 5K, was held in 2015 on the same course, which attracted over 200 participants. The Trooper Black Foundation is named after Trooper Charles Black, who tragically lost his life while responding to a robbery at the First National Bank of Biddeford in South Berwick. The Foundation is based in York and has as its mission statement: “Providing support to First Responders and their families during times of crisis or need”. This event is open to the public, with a special invitation extended to teams of first responders to partake in the competition. The top three finishers from each team will vie for the coveted Trooper Black Foundation 5K For First Responders Cup. Beyond the forthcoming
5K run/walk, the foundation is also underwriting a fundraising concert slated for November 19 at the Cross Insurance Arena in Portland. The featured musical act for the evening will be 12 O/C, a talented country music band, and tickets are available for $30. Proceeds from ticket sales will be directed towards assisting four Maine State Troopers who sustained injuries as a result of an accident involving an impaired driver in Hollis this past August. Online registration is open until Thursday, October 19 at www.trooperblackfoundation.org. Same-day registration is also available on the day of the event, starting at 9 a.m. at the Center for Active Living at 36 Main Street in York. Registration fee the day of will be $35 per person.

Additionally, participants can look forward to an exciting raffle with valuable prizes and refreshments after the race.

We must to do everything we can to ensure they have access to the full range of benefits the VA offers as they take that next step,” said Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH). “The TAP Promotion Act will provide our veterans with important mentorship from VA representatives to ensure they can access the benefits they’ve earned. The sooner they access those resources, the sooner they can successfully transition to the next stage of their lives.” “Our men and women in uniform represent the best of our country,” said Senator Mike

I am pleased to join Senator King in introducing this bipartisan legislation that would allow VSOs to connect with service members as they go through the Transition Assistance Program and help them apply for their VA benefits before leaving the military.” TAP is offered at over 300 installations around the world and helps prepare servicemembers for civilian life. Having an accredited representative physically present in TAP classrooms during VA briefings would create another bridge for transitioning service members to veteran status.

Weekly Recipe: Apple, Bacon
and Butternut Squash Quiche Sweet apples and butternut squash team up with savory bacon in this easy quiche recipe – perfect with a salad on the side.
Ingredients:
3/4 cup all-purpose flour plus 1 tbsp., divided 1/3 cup white whole-wheat flour 1/2 tsp. salt, divided 4 Tbsp. cold butter, cut into small pieces 2 Tbsp. neutral oil, such as avocado or grapeseed 3-5 Tbsp. ice water 2 slices bacon 1/2 cup chopped onion 1 cup chopped butternut squash (4.5 oz) 1 medium Granny Smith apple, chopped 1-1/2 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh sage 1 cup reduced-fat milk 4 large eggs 1/4 tsp ground pepper 3/4 cup shredded extra-sharp cheddar cheese
Directions: Combine 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, white whole-wheat flour and 1/4 tsp. salt in a food processor. Pulse to mix. Add butter and oil; continue pulsing until the butter forms pebble-size pieces with the flour. Add water, 1 Tbsp. at a time, until the dough is evenly moist (but not wet) and is starting to clump together, being careful not to overmix. Pat the dough into a 5-inch disk, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least one hour. Remove from the refrigerator about 15 minutes before rolling out. Preheat oven to 450°F.
Meanwhile, cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove to a papertowel-lined plate. Add onion to the pan; cook, stirring until starting to soften, about two minutes. Add squash, apple and sage; cook, stirring, until the squash is just tender, 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat. Chop the bacon and add to the mixture in the pan. Whisk milk, eggs, pepper and remaining 1/4 tsp. salt in a measuring cup. Toss cheese and the remaining 1 Tbsp. flour together in a small bowl then add to the egg mixture. Roll the pastry dough into a 12-inch circle on a clean, lightly floured surface. Transfer to a 9-inch deep-dish pie pan. Trim or crimp the dough edges as desired. Line the dough with a double thickness of foil and bake for 8 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until set and dry, 4 to 5 minutes more. Reduce oven temperature to 325°. Spread the vegetable mixture in the bottom of the hot crust, then pour the egg mixture over the top. Bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 40-45 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Recipe from EatingWell.com.

Kennebunk Knitter Finds Her Niche
KENNEBUNK La st sum mer a s t hey shopped at the Kennebunk Artisans Marketplace, a young girl with her father was excitedly picking out the perfect hat to give her mother for Christmas. They ended up special-ordering a scarf and hat set, and when it arrived at their home a week later, there was no containing the girl’s excitement to give the hat right then and there. “She could not wait to give it to her mom. That’s the kind of joy I get from my making hats – watching people get excited about the hats and sharing that excitement with others,” said Kathy Morris, the creator and crafter behind Knit Happens. “They create a ripple effect of joy!” Knit Happens offers seasonal product lines of knitted hats, scarves, ear warmers and holiday-themed products, including Christmas, Hanukkah, Valentine’s Day and more. Kathy’s husband (“and biggest cheerleader”)
Steve also makes custom crafts, such as hand-carved buoy earrings and seashell garden flowers. For Kennebunk’s Christmas Prelude, Morris knits fun, funky hats with trees, lobsters and reindeer designs on them. Every year, she comes up with new, “limited edition” designs for the holiday season. So where, when, why and how did the “crazy hat” lady land her first stitch? Morris and her husband Steve moved to Maine from Needham, MA, in 2020. She had just retired from her career as a Human Resources Specialist in 2019, and she was loving the retired life – until COVID hit and the shutdowns were announced. Kathy and Steve had just moved to Kennebunk a few months earlier, so with not much else to do at home, she took up knitting. Fast forward a year and endless hours of YouTube videos, and Morris had amassed quite a collection of knitwear. She began
nection and make a difference through volunteer opportunities that strengthen the community. For more information, visit www.seniorcenterkennebunk. org, on social media @CenterKennebunk or call 207-967-8514.
David Cunningham joins OMAA OQUNQUIT David Cunningham has recently joined the Ogunquit Museum of A mer ican A r t (OMAA) as Director of Advancement. David holds a Bachelor of Arts in Art History from The American University of Paris and a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting and Sculpture from Parsons Paris. During his ten-year stay in France, he also pursued studies in drawing and printmaking at The École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux Arts in Paris. Leveraging over 25 years of experience in the fashion industry, David previously directed worldwide scouting and strategy at IMG Models. While at IMG, both in Paris and New York City, Cunningham signed and nurtured many of the industry’s top talents. He played a pivotal role in generating new revenue streams and oversaw media partnerships with prominent networks, streaming platforms,
and esteemed print publications such as Vogue and W magazine. Additionally, he was the driving force behind several significant health, education, and charitable initiatives. Cunningham now resides in York, and is excited to join the OMAA team and play a vital role in advancing the museum’s mission and fortifying its important place in American art.
Great Northern Builders Announce New Hire SOUTH BERWICK Great Northern Builders is pleased to announce the recent hire of Allison Perreault, who joins the Great Northern Builders team as Operations Coordinator. Allison is based at the Great Northern Builders South Berwick office. As Operations Coordinator, Allison has many core dayto-day responsibilities to support active projects as well as those in design. “I wanted to find the right opportunity that would put my diverse skill set to good use,” Allison said. “When I met the GNB team, and learned more about the role of Operations Coordinator, I knew it would be a great fit professionally. I’m excited to join a thriving local business.” The South Berwick-based Design-Build firm continues to
see strong growth in 2023. “The strong economy is great for business and we continue to see a demand for significant remodeling projects. As our business grows, we remain committed to delivering the highest customer service to our clients, which requires a strong Operations Coordinator like Allison.” said Maya Bogh, President of Great Northern Builders. “Allison will play a key role in communicating with Great Northern Builders’ production team regarding schedules and logistics as well as working directly with clients for their product selections. This role is very diverse and we are so pleased to have Allison join our team to help us deliver on this promise to our clients and colleagues.” Allison arrives to Great Northern Builders from the
wondering about selling her handiwork. Steve jumped in to help, and together they showed their products at local craft fairs and at the Kennebunk Artisans Marketplace in 2021 and 2022. Last fall, they partnered with Kennebunk Outfitters to exclusively sell two Christmas Prelude designs. The response was “nothing short of spectacular,” giving them all the encouragement they needed to start Knit Happens. The couple cleared out their living room to create the studio, and Kathy has been at it ever since.
“I discovered a creative side of me that I never knew existed,” she explained. “I had crocheted all my life, but I would follow a pattern; I didn’t ‘create.’ I had tried so many times as a young person, but my hands were like claws. So to overcome that and succeed brings me great personal joy.” Her hats also give her great joy, but she finds the most satisfaction in helping people find their own joy wearing her hats. “What started out as a way to immerse myself in my new community grew into a blossoming
HVAC industry with a strong background in communication and project management. Allison grew up in Cumberland, and is enjoying getting to know her new surroundings in southern Maine. For more information, visit www.greatnorthernbuilders. info. business. That’s not what I started out to do,” she said. “It’s about the impact my work has on other people, like that little girl at the craft fair. I absolutely love seeing people get their own joy out of picking their very own hat.” Morris’s hats sell for $35$50, with some hats taking up to four hours to knit and accessorize. Kathy is adamant about keeping her hats accessible to all, though, so it is not necessarily all about the business. “The bottom line for me is not money, it is joy. See KNITS on page 28 . . .

Berwick Academy 0 Dana Hall 1 On Wednesday, October 4 the Berwick Bulldogs took on Dana Hall School. The Bulldogs fought against a fast team, but came away with a 0-1 loss. 26 minutes into the game, Dana Hall had their first good chance after a flurry in the box that ended with the Berwick defenders winning the ball and sending it to the other end of the field. The first half of the game took place mostly in the Bulldogs’ defensive half. Berwick also had a chance when Griffin Demers (Rochester, NH) got a shot off a corner kick but the Dana Hall keeper made the save. Berwick Goalkeeper Allie Moore (North Berwick) made a great diving save just before halftime.

for one-on-one with the goalie, and put it in the back of the net to increase the lead. In the 18th minute, after good defending in the defensive half, Keenan possessed and played a lovely ball to the corner flag to Friedman, who then broke into the 18 and had a beautiful cross that just barely missed the back left corner, going out for a goal kick. In the 26th minute, Demers crossed the ball to Graziella Pavona (York) in the box, who laid it off to Friedman, who then one-touched the ball to the top corner, to make it 3-0 Bulldogs. In the 33rd minute, Blake Metcalf (Scarborough) played a corner to Friedman, who selflessly passed to Juliet Lohnes (Berwick) at the top of the box, who then rocketed a shot under the crossbar and in for the 4-0 lead. Rich was awarded a penalty kick after being tackled in the box by a Hebron defender, and Moore converted the spot kick to make it 5-0. Just two minutes before halftime, Metcalf blocked a clearance from Hebron, lofted it over the goalie into the back of the net, increasing the Bulldogs lead going into halftime. The Bulldogs controlled the tempo of the game and combined on some great passes in the second half, but did not add to the score, resulting in a final of 6-0. Garcia and Moore combined for three saves, earning the Bulldogs their sixth shutout of the season. The Bulldogs improve to 8-0-2.

Two minutes into the second half, a Dana Hall offensive player scored from inside the box. With 17 minutes left on the clock, Moore carried it down the field and shot on goal, giving the Bulldogs another close chance. Then, with two minutes left on the clock, Goalkeeper Alexa Garcia (Dover, NH) made a great save. Likewise, the Bulldog defenders played tirelessly. Just minutes before the end of the game, off a corner kick, Maddie Laffaye (Sandown, NH) shot the ball into the net after it deflected off several Dana Hall defenders in a chaotic situation in the box. Unfortunately, the goal was called back by the officials.

But as a longtime businesswoman, she has to cover her time and materials. “I worked in human resources for 30 years, always helping people with benefits and retirement, or coaching them in areas that would help them in their lives. In my own retirement, I love that I have taken that part of my career that I loved and am using it in a fun way to give joy to people.” Morris credits her new community for supporting her passion. “The unconditional support I received from the local business community has been unbelievable,” she said. “Sight unseen, Robin and Charlie Buckley at Kennebunk Outfitters put me on the map. They believed in me... not only have they supported me, they offered expertise on setting up and marketing a new business. Their advice has been invaluable.
