“All Souls’ Walk” Book Released KENNEBUNK Ahead of the Brick Store Museum’s “All Souls’ Walk” program on Saturday, October 28, the Museum has announced the publication of a new book covering the history of the beloved town event and the stories told within Hope Cemetery during the tour. It will officially be on sale on All Souls’ Day, Thursday, November 2, but is now available for pre-order. T he long-r u n n i ng A l l Souls’ Walk is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. The walking tour takes participants through Kennebunk’s Hope Cemetery, and introduces them to re-enactors who tell the sto-

ries of those who are buried there. Not too spooky, the walk is a perfect Halloween event for

the whole family. With stories of love, life and loss, the tour coves about a one-mile loop through the graveyard and takes about 90 minutes. The program runs even in drizzly weather, with a rain date held for Sunday, October 29 if the weather is too stormy. The All Souls’ Walk book is $24.95, with proceeds to be evenly split between the Brick Store Museum and Hope Cemetery. Tickets for the Walk are $15 per person, free for children under 12, and must be purchased in advance. For more information on the tour and the book, visit www.brickstoremuseum.org.

Staches to Lashes Benefit OGUNQUIT “Staches to Lashes,” an annual benefit for The Children’s Inn at The National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, MD, is scheduled to be held on Thursday, November 2 at The Cliff House in Cape Neddick. The Cliff House has once again generously donated their beautiful ballroom for the evening and is the Presenting Partner for the fundraiser. The ‘Stashes to Lashes organizers hope to have another record year raising money for The Children’s Inn at The National Institute of Health (NIH). The growth of the event has made ‘Stashes to Lashes one of

Southern Maine’s most successful non profit events, with fundraising totaling over $500,000 over the years (2017, 2018, 2019 and 2022). When the Ogunquit community comes together for a cause, it makes a tremendous impact. The Children’s Inn is a nonprofit that provides residential services and a wide range of programs to children, teens, and young adults with rare and serious diseases. Since opening in 1990, nearly 13,500 families from across the world, and many from New England, have considered The Inn their home. As a partner in discovery and care with the NIH, The Inn strives for the day when no family endures, the heartbreak of a seriously ill child. Scott Vogel, host of the event and owner of The Front Porch and Crew Ogunquit, has been a patient at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) since he was an infant. Diagnosed with a rare immune deficiency at six months old, Scott underwent significant care over two decades, including two stem cell transplants. Scott and his family have spent over 250 nights at The Inn, where he now sits on their board of directors since being cured in 2014. “The Inn was truly a place like home for my family and I

during the toughest of times,” Vogel has said. “Thanks to the care and support The Inn provides in conjunction with research at the NIH, I can now say I have been cured. This event and my work on the board is to make sure we continue to support children with life threatening illness, their families, and the incredible work of the Children’s lnn as they support advancement in medicine at The National Institutes of Health.” The Front Porch, Crew

York Native’s Dedication to the Navy’s Mission YORK Chief Petty Officer James Kiernan, a native of York, currently serves in the U.S. Navy, assigned to the Navy Expeditionary Logistics Support Group in Williamsburg, VA. Kiernan, a 2009 graduate of York High School, ref lects on the valuable lessons learned in his hometown that have served him well during his naval career.

“My hometown taught me to work hard,” said Kiernan. “My hometown also taught me how much perception matters.” Kiernan joined the Navy 11 years ago. Today, he serves as a hospital corpsman. “I joined the Navy to have more opportunities,” he said. “I was doing a lot of construction, but I wanted to get into nursing.” The Nav y Expeditionary Logistics Support Group consists of more than 3,300 personnel, spread across three regiments and seven battalions nationwide. Their primary mission involves delivering global expeditionary logistics, with the help of active and reserve personnel, to provide critical supply and transportation support for various peacetime, crisis response, humanitarian, and combat service missions. Kiernan understands the vital role of the Navy in securing the nation’s military readiness, fortifying alliances, and reforming business practices in line with the National Defense Strategy. He underscores the significance of water as the primary medium connecting nations. “The main medium between us and other countries is water – the world’s oceans,

If anything happens, we are not far away and are capable of responding in a reasonable amount time.” With approximately 90% of global commerce relying on sea routes and the security of undersea fiber optic cables playing a crucial role in internet access, Navy officials emphasize the pivotal connection between a strong Navy and the prosperity of the United States. Kiernan takes pride in his

service, which offers numerous opportunities to achieve notable accomplishments. “I helped a sailor who advanced to petty officer first class,” said Kiernan. “She has become an absolute rock star and seeing her catch a second wind is one of my proudest moments.”

The possibilities are limitless! Traditional Christmas tree decorations are always encouraged as well.

Keeping Pets Safe During Storms Season STATEWIDE While no one is immune from the devastation of a natural disaster, preparing before a storm hits is key to keeping everyone in the family, including pets, safe. “What’s good for us is good for our pets,” said Kris Kiser, President of the TurfMutt Foundation, an environment education and stewardship program. “My dog is a member of the family, so we have a plan for keeping her safe in the event of an emergency, and we encourage all pet parents to do the same.” The following are a few ideas from the Turf Mutt Foundation to help families with pet safety when mapping out a disaster preparedness plan. Have pets microchipped. In the event of an emergency, natural or otherwise, household

Safe Haven Humane Society WELLS Safe Haven has two beautiful five-month-old male twin kittens who are ready to go to a very fortunate home. They are nearly identical and are bonded to one another. Wynken & Blynken are two “purrrfect” little charmers who win the “cuteness” award. They purr the minute they see anyone, and all they want is lots of love and affection. The volunteers at Safe Haven are so happy to have rescued them from the life they lived before. As kittens, the pair lived in a dirt-floor cellar with an exhausted mother who had had too many litters before them. Momma just could not care for her new babies any longer. The kittens were thin and poorly nourished because their mother had little milk, and was tired from nursing her previous litters. During their care over the months, the duo found mealtime to be the most wonderful time of the day. They are voracious eaters because of the hunger they experienced as babies. Wynken & Blynken are so

precious and deserve a loving home that will give them all the cuddles and playtime they need. They adore being held and loved and will be incredible new family members! Since these kittens are so friendly and confident, they are perfect for a family with younger yet responsible children who will grow up with them. The home should also have extra door security so the kittens will not bolt out the door. They are totally fearless and are as fast as lightning. Homes with storm doors, safe exits, and secure windows and screens are always the preference. Safe Haven has nearly 100 cats in their program, and they receive more calls daily about cats needing rescue. As a result, the shelter is in constant need of Friskies canned cat food, in shreds, paté, or bits. Safe Haven also needs cat litter, which they

members want to ensure the pet can get back to them if separated. Collars and ID tags, though important, can break or detach. Microchips – computerized and scannable implants about the size of a grain of rice – are more fool-proof since they are inserted under the pet’s skin. Bring pets inside at the first sign of danger. Disasters can be disorienting for pets, and they could run away or hurt themselves reacting to loud noises and strange changes to the landscape. Also, rain, flying debris and high winds pose a danger to anyone outside. Bring the pets when evacuation is mandatory. Leaving a beloved family pet behind during a natural disaster is never a good idea because not only will the animal become frightened from the sense of abandonment, but

mainly purchase from Tractor Supply. A perfect donation would be a Tractor Supply Gift card, or a Walmart card, so volunteers can shop for all the other supplies the shelter needs. There is also an Amazon wish list; the link is located on the SafeHaven website. Purchases at the thrift shop support Safe Haven’s no-kill cause. The shop is open seven days a week, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Donations are accepted on Saturdays 12-3 p.m. Safe Haven asks that donations be clean,

Historic Plantings, Beauty and Bounty

By Cheryl Farley, Contributing Writer One of the many things that makes New England a wonderful place to live and visit is the abundance of historic homes dotting the landscapes of the towns, villages and countryside. Gardening was necessary when these homes were first built and occupied, as the plants supplied food, herbs and medicine at a time when these items were not readily available by a quick trip around the corner to the local grocery store or pharmacy. For each time period, specific plants would have been popular and commonly found planted by the kitchen door or in the back yard. And these gardens were planted for beauty as well as bounty. There are many resources for discovering which plants were common during a certain time. Seed and plant catalogues

often tell the heritage of plants, and some are dedicated to selling heirloom varieties. Libraries often have collections of garden books from specific eras. Probate inventories, diaries, letters, garden club archives and newspapers can all offer information on gardens of a specific time and place. Local historical societies can often help locate these materials when researching appropriate plant materials for recreating an historic garden or landscape. Many historic house museums in New England (and beyond) include gardens that have been recreated to a time period associated with the house. Since these homes can span many decades, it is important to understand which era the garden has been recreated. Some include interpretation of the garden, explaining the reasoning behind the design, selection and use of plant materials. Visiting these historic gardens is often a source of great information and inspiration for one’s own garden. In reproducing an historic garden, it is important to select appropriate plants and a design that would have been used during that era. For example, Colonial era gardens were patterned after English Tudor Gardens, which evolved from medieval garden

NEW ENGLAND On Saturday, November 4, Native Plant Trust, the nation’s pioneering plant conservation organization dedicated to New England’s native plants, will hold a virtual symposium entitled “Native Plants and Climate Change” from 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. This event, featuring speakers from across New England, will delve into the pressing issues of climate change, its current impact, and strategies for fostering climate resilience in local ecosystems throughout

the region. The virtual symposium will focus on the role of native plants in the ongoing conversation about the changing nature of today’s climate. The speakers will cover current climate change patterns and their implications for the future of the region’s plant life, as well as key factors for building climate resilience and the ways in which key players can make resilience possible. The three sessions are as follows: Session 1: Climate Change

plans. High walls made from fence or hedge would enclose very symmetrical, geometric patterned garden beds, most often with a central path and paths around each bed, for easy tending. Each bed was dedicated to specific plants. The wealthier the owners of the property, the more elaborate the enclosing and the design. Foundation plantings did not come along until the late Vic-

torian era and into the twentieth century. Early American houses had low foundations made of pretty stones or granite slabs. Later era homes were built on higher foundations that needed to be softened or concealed by plants and vines. Plants were selected to accent the architecture. In order to create an historically compatible garden, it is important to remember that, just like interior design, a unified scheme is often more desirable than many conf licting styles. Just like interior design and even fashion, the popularity of garden designs and plant materials come and go over time. Understanding what may have been popular during a certain time era can help guide decisions on what to plant and where, even if not creating an exact replica. And most importantly, have fun researching and creating!

KIERNAN from page 2 As Kiernan and his fellow sailors continue to train and execute missions, they maintain a deep sense of pride in their service to the country within the U.S. Navy. “It’s a lot of pressure to serve in the Navy and give 100% everyday,” said Kiernan. “Even when you’re doing the smallest job there is still a massive impact. There is a lot of responsibility that goes into ensuring sailors are ready for deployment and I love it.” Kiernan expresses his gratitude to several individuals who played pivotal roles in making his Navy career possible. “I would like to thank Chief Hospital Corpsman Robert Propp, Master Chief Information Sys-

tems Technician Charles Harrision, Chief Yeoman Kisha Smith, Chief Personnel Specialist Chamron Kim, and my wonderful wife, Silvija,” said Kiernan. “They put a lot of effort into me and it shows.” Moreover, Kiernan wishes to convey a message to fellow sailors, recognizing their oftenunspoken contributions.“Too many sailors feel like they aren’t recognized for the work they are doing,” added Kiernan. “I just want to let them know that they are recognized and to keep pushing forward.” This article was authored by Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class Jerome Fjeld, and is presented with courtesy from the Navy Office of Community Outreach.

Pack emergency provisions for pets well in advance of a catastrophe so everyone can evacuate quickly if needed. Choose an easy-to-carry bag, label it and keep it where everyone can find it quickly. The bag should include a pet first aid kit, enough food and bottled water for a week (rotate this every couple of months to keep fresh), medications (check periodically to ensure medicines in the emergency bag are current), cleanup supplies, food and water dishes, bags (or litter for cats) for collecting waste, an

extra collar and leash, photocopies of medical records, towels, recent pet photos, and a favorite toy or chewy for comfort. It is also a good idea to have on hand a sturdy carrier or crate for each pet. By keeping in mind these

FINANCE & CAREER Small Businesses Benefit from HUB Program

Celebrating Halloween on a Budget YORK COUNTY NATIONWIDE Halloween is just days away, and as the National Retail Federation’s annual survey suggests, Americans are gearing up for a record-breaking celebration again this year, with total Halloween spending expected to reach around $12.2 billion. This impressive figure, however, can be daunting for many households trying to stick to their tight monthly budget. The Better Business Bureau offers some savvy tips to keep the fun stylish and budget-friendly, and to keep expenses from getting too spooky. Scour the home for costume ideas. One of the best ways to save money on costumes is by checking what may already be tucked away deep inside those bedroom and hallway closets. Hidden treasures and last year’s costume can be re-tooled to create a “new” one. Not only will this save money, but it is also environmentally friendly to recycle costumes and accessories. In addition, some local libraries may have free costume swaps during the month of October, where participants trade in a clean, gently-used “old” costume for a “new” one. Costume Rentals. Rather than spending money on a costume that may only be worn once, consider renting one. There are many costume rental companies available, and most provide free shipping. The BBB recommends to researching the companies beforehand, thoroughly examining the costume’s condition upon receipt and reading the rental agreement in detail before committing to a rental. Buy candy in bulk. Some-

times, buying more can save more. Purchasing candy in bulk reduces the cost per item, and with the potential for more trickor-treaters this year, having extra factory-wrapped candy on hand to pass out is a safe backup. Leftovers are never problem either, as they tend to be quite tasty even after Halloween. Shop smart online. When shopping online, ensure the website’s URL starts with “HTTPS” and includes a lock symbol to guarantee a secure connection. Always look up the website’s privacy policy and contact information. Use a credit card instead of a debit card for added protection and easier dispute resolution in case of fraudulent charges. Seasonal store considerations. Those who shop at a seasonal store can inquire ahead of time about return policies postHalloween. Do they remain open for any length of time after the holiday? Do they accept returns after Halloween? Be clear on these details before making a purchase, and ask about a website or email address for future contact. Save all receipts, and use a credit card for added protection. Seasonal stores, such as a local Spirit Halloween, offer unique party and decor items, but may have strict return policies and a very short return deadline postHalloween. Understand the pop-up’s policies before making purchases to avoid any surprises later on. Special events and haunted houses. Before purchasing tickets, research the group offering the experience and make sure that there are no complaints about the company hosting the event. Some rules of thumb to follow include checking the company’s profile and reading customer reviews for any filed

Small businesses in York and Southern Oxford Counties are urged to take advantage of a new Economic Recovery HUB Program launched by Southern Maine Planning and Development Commission (SMPDC) and the Maine Department of Economic and Community Development. The funds aim to help new businesses that were not eligible for pandemic funding relief. The program will offer financial assistance grants, free business counseling, classes, as well as technical assistance grants. A portion of the funding will be set aside specifically to support businesses owned and operated by racial, ethnic, and linguistic minorities within the SMPDC service region, who were disproportionately impacted by the pandemic. The program is funded by the federal American Rescue Plan, and the current deadline to apply is Thursday, December 7. Grants of up to $20,000 will be available to businesses with 25

complaints, and conducting online searches with keywords like “complaint,” “reviews,” or “scam,” for different search results. Ghosts, goblins and little witches everywhere can enjoy a safe, happy Halloween without scaring off the budget. Whether it’s creating a unique “new” costume from items at home, considering costume rentals, or shopping for candy and seasonal items, remember to stay informed and make wise choices to ensure a budget-friendly celebration. Have a “spooktacular” Halloween!” Article content provided courtesy of the Better Business Bureau. For more information, visit www.bbb.org.

or fewer employees that opened between January 1, 2020 and May 11, 2023. The businesses need to demonstrate negative impacts due to the pandemic. In addition, applicants cannot have already received substantial COVID-19 grants. Small businesses can use the grants for rent, utilities, inventory, equipment, insurance, payroll (excluding owner), and other working capital needs. Small business owners can also take advantage of technical assistance grants in the form of bookkeeping, web design and social media planning/implementation services; free training, which includes banking/finance workshops offered by Kennebunk Savings Bank, and free workshops by SCORE, Small Business Development Center, and New Ventures Maine. In addition, there is access to workshops and classes at collaborators York County Community College and York County Adult Education. SMPDC Program Coordinator Nelle Hanig explains, “It is exciting to be launching this new program because it offers handson technical assistance and grants to help grow and strengthen small businesses in York and Southern Oxford Counties, especially those that fell through

the cracks during prior pandemic-related funding. The application is easy; we urge businesses to apply by the December 7 deadline.” Program collaborators include Heart of Biddeford, Sanford Regional Growth Council, Saco Main Street, SCORE, Kennebunk Savings Bank, Black Owned Maine, New Ventures Maine, Small Business Development Center, York County Community College, and York County Adult Education. Southern Maine Planning and Development Commission (SMPDC) is a nonpartisan nonprofit and regional planning agency that cultivates thriving, sustainable communities and strengthens local governments by leading planning and economic development for 39 member cities and towns in southern Maine. The agency was founded in 1964 to provide planning and economic development services to municipalities located in York, southern Oxford and Cumberland Counties. SMPDC offers a coordinated effort for land use, smart growth, resource management, environmental sustainability, and transportation planning.

King Honored with Congressional Sea Services Award STATEWIDE U.S. Senator Angus King was recently honored by the Navy League Capital Council as the 2023 recipient of its Congressional Sea Services Award in an event held in Washington, DC. This award, presented annually to a member of Congress, recognizes outstanding leadership and contributions to the United States Sea Services. Senator King accepted it on behalf of the men and women of the sea services and shipbuilders at Bath Iron Works (BIW) and Portsmouth Naval Shipyard. Senator King was presented with a binnacle, a casing that holds a ship’s compass and lamp, which will reside in his Senate office for a year. The traveling “trophy” is the actual binnacle from the Sioux Falls Victory ship that saw action, and received a battlestar, in the amphibious assault of Okinawa, Japan in 1945. The ship also served in the Korean and Vietnam Wars. “We all talk about ships and we talk about aircraft, but it’s the people – the wonderful people that we have serving us,” said Senator King. “The military and our first responders, when you think about it, have the only jobs where you sign your name you’re putting your life on the line. That’s not true for 95% of the jobs in our society. These are the young people who put their lives on the line when they sign up and it’s something that we have to constantly remember.” “This is a tremendous honor and I really am overwhelmed and delighted, but I have accepted it on behalf of the shipbuilders in Maine, the shipbuilders in Mississippi, the “Coasties” along the Maine coast and the Naval personnel all

over the country. This isn’t my award, this is their award. Thank you,” concluded Senator King. “Senator King has been a long-standing and outspoken advocate for our nation’s safety and security. He has tirelessly fought for a strong national defense, with particular emphasis on maritime forces and seapower, championing funding and innovative policies to increase United States shipbuilding capacity and support for our nation’s critical workforce,” the citation from the Navy League Capital Council read. As a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, and Chairman of the Strategic Forces Subcommittee, King has been a steadfast supporter of the Navy and Coast Guard. He recently secured key provisions in the FY24 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) to support the maritime forces and ensure that America’s military can continue providing military services to the nation.

Maine Council on Aging Recognizes Leaders Including Rep. Meyer, Hannaford Supermarkets YORK COUNTY The Maine Council on Aging (MCOA) recently announced the 2023 award recipients who were honored for their inspired and sustained leadership at the CHANGE AGEnt Summit, held Wednesday, September 27. “Our annual awards shine a spotlight on Maine people who are quietly dedicating part or all of their careers to making Maine a healthier, safer, more inclusive place to live and work for older Mainers,” said Jess Maurer, executive director of the Maine Council on Aging. “These honorees have had an impressive impact on the lives of older Maines, and we honor them to ensure Maine people know about their important work and leadership.” The Legislator of the Year Award recognizes and celebrates the sustained efforts of legisla-

She is collaborative and tenacious, and works incredibly hard, often behind the scenes, always reaching across the aisle, to ensure critically im-

Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge to Open New Office, Visitor Center KENNEBUNK The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service recently announced construction work has begun on a multipurpose center in Kennebunk that will serve as a focal point for connecting people to nature in southern Coastal Maine, and celebrating the life and work of Rachel Carson.

Our stage manager, Kelsey Tessier, has been working with a large group of students on the sets and props for the show,” she mentions. “We are so excited for the

spirit with a classic silent film thriller. “Nosferatu” (1922), the first screen adaptation of Bram Stoker’s novel “Dracula,” will be shown with live music on Sunday, October 29 at 7 p.m. at the Leavitt Theatre. The screening will feature live accompaniment by Jeff Rapsis, a New Hampshire-based composer who specializes in creating music for silent films. “ Nosfe rat u,” d i rec ted by German filmmaker F.W. Murnau, remains a landmark of the cinematic horror genre. The silent film classic was released in 1922 and to this day is still considered a chilling masterpiece of early cinema. The unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker’s “Dracula” tells the story of a real estate agent named Thomas Hutter, who travels to Transylvania to meet Count Orlok (Max Schreck), a mysterious client. As Hutter journeys deeper into the Carpathian Mountains, he encounters unsettling omens and superstitions. Upon reaching Orlok’s castle, he discovers the Count’s vampiric nature and realizes the danger he is in. Orlok purchases a house in Hutter’s hometown and travels there, bringing a plague of death and darkness. Hutter’s wife, Ellen, becomes the focal point of Or-

KFL November Art Exhibit, “Coastal World” KENNEBUNK The Speers Gallery at the Kennebunk Free Library (KFL) presents the exhibit, “Coastal World,” by the Open Studio Artists, which will run November

lok’s obsession, leading to a climactic confrontation. Murnau skillf ully harnessed the power of lighting to create a haunting and moody atmosphere throughout the film. He employed dramatic chiaroscuro lighting to cast long, eerie shadows, intensifying the sense of foreboding and dread. This meticulous use of light and shadow not only emphasized the supernatural elements of the story but also laid the foundation for future horror films by demonstrating the transformative impact of lighting on mood and atmosphere With its eerie and atmospheric cinematography, “Nosferatu” is a pioneer of the horror genre, employing haunting visuals and Schreck’s iconic portrayal of Count Orlok to create an enduring aura of dread. The film continues to captivate audiences with its brooding, expressionistic

style and its lasting influence on vampire lore in cinema. It stands as a testament to the power of early cinema to evoke terror and suspense without relying on modern special effects or sound. “The original ‘Nosferatu’ is a film that seems to get creepier as more time goes by,” said Rapsis. “It’s a great way to celebrate Halloween and the power of silent film to transport audiences to strange and unusual places.” Rapsis performs on a digital synthesizer that reproduces the texture of the full orchestra, creating a traditional “movie score” sound. He improvises the complete score in real time during the screening. The classic horror thriller will be shown with live music on Sunday, October 29 at 7 p.m. at the historic Leavitt Theatre, 259 Main St., Route 1 in Ogunquit. Admission is $17, and the kitchen will be open for food during the event. For more information, visit www.leavittheatre.com or call 207-646-3123.

“Americans Who Tell the Truth” Portraits at York Public Library

YORK Starting Thursday, November 2 through Friday, December 22, York Public Library (YPL) will display 12 portraits by artist Robert Shetterly in an exhibit titled “Americans Who Tell the Truth.” The exhibit is a collaboration between the library and York Diversity Forum. Brooksville-based painter Robert Shetterly began the project more than 20 years ago with a goal of completing 50 portraits of noted activists in U.S. history.

indigenous issues, women’s rights, and more. YPL and the York Diversity Forum (YDF) have secured twelve portraits for this exhibit which reflect the themes of civil rights and racial justice. Portraits on display will be: Denise Altavater, co-founder of the Maine Wabanaki-State Child Welfare Truth and Reconciliation Commission; Tarana Burke, founder of the “Me Too” movement; Cesar Estrada Chavez, Farm Workers’ Union Founder; Deqa Dhalac, the first African-American and first Muslim to be elected to the South Portland City Council; Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha, pediatrician, professor, and public health advocate; Amara Ifeji, environ-

There are now 265 portraits total, and the number is growing. What began in 2002 as Shetterly’s personal portrait project has become a broad-based, not-for-profit arts and education organization, the mission of which is to foster and inspire “a profound sense of citizenship” by exposing students and community members to portraits, quotes, biographies, and related resources built around these models of citizenship. In addition to encouraging community institutions to host the portraits, which have visited 35 states to date, the traveling exhibit also offers workshops, speaking engagements, and lesson plans around environmental justice, civil rights, the media,

An opening reception and presentation by the artist is scheduled for Thursday, November 2 from 5-7 p.m. in the Library’s Upper Level. The event is part of a series of programs presented by the York Diversity Forum, “The 1619 Project: Reflections on our Imperfect History.” Refreshments will be provided. Other upcoming events in YDF’s series are listed on the library’s website, including a December 7 showing of the documentary film “Truth Tellers,” which chronicles Shetterly’s journey in creating the AWTT collection. Robert Shetterly was born in 1946 in Cincinnati, OH. He graduated in 1969 from Harvard College with a degree in English

Literature. While at Harvard, he took courses in drawing, which changed the direction of his creative life from the written word to the image. During this time, Shetterly was also active in civil rights, specifically the anti-Vietnam War movement. For more than 20 years, Shetterly’s portraits have traveled around the country. The series gives Shetterly an opportunity to speak about the necessity of dissent in a democracy and the obligations of citizenship. Shetterly lives with his partner Gail Page, a painter and children’s book writer and illustrator, in Brooksville. York Diversity Forum was founded in 2003 by members of the York Community who were concerned about local issues of discrimination and prejudice. The group seeks to promote awareness, understanding, and acceptance of diversity through education and advocacy, envisioning a community that is open and integrated, where all people and ideas are welcome. York Public Library is located at 15 Long Sands Road in York. For more information, visit www.yorkpubliclibrary.org

Health & Fitness World Stroke Day, October 29

STATEWIDE Sunday, October 29 is World Stroke Day. The American Stroke Association, a division of the American Heart Association, is dedicated to saving people from stroke, which is the number two cause of death in the world, and a leading cause of serious disability. Strokes can happen to anyone at any age. In fact globally, one in four adults over the age of 25 will have a stroke in their lifetime. Each year, approximately 800,000 people in the U.S. suffer a stroke. Most adults in the U.S. do not know the F.A.S.T warning signs of a stroke, and that stroke is largely treatable when calling 911 as soon as symptoms occur. “The sooner a stroke patient is able to get to the hospital, the more likely they are to make a strong recovery,” said MaineHeatlth neurosurgeon Robert Ecker, MD. “If you notice your face drooping, have arm weakness or difficulty speaking, call 911 immediately.” Celina McMichael of Kennebunk (pictured above with her family) suffered five strokes starting when she was only 19. The 43-year-old mother of three shares this important message: “I encourage you all to learn the signs and symptoms of stroke. Remember, if something feels wrong with your body, don’t second guess yourself. Don’t be afraid to ask for a different caregiver, and question everything!” Recognizing the stroke warning signs and calling 911 immediately may make the difference between a strong recovery or long-term disability,

survival or even death. New this year, by uploading a selfie and a voice recording, participants can see and hear what some common stroke warning signs may look and sound like with the association’s new F.A.S.T. experience. Visit www.stroke.org/ fast-experience to use this new interactive tool to help recognize stroke warning signs. How to Spot a Stroke F.A.S.T. Face Drooping: Does one side off the face droop or is it numb? Ask the person to smile. Is the person’s smile uneven? Arm Weakness: Is one arm weak or numb? Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward? Speech Difficulty: Is speech slurred? Is the person unable to speak or hard to understand? Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence, like “The sky is blue.” If someone shows any of these symptoms, even if the symptoms go away, call 9-1-1 and get to a hospital immediately. Check the time so as to remember later on when the first symptoms

appeared. According to the Association, a large majority of strokes can be prevented through education and lifestyle changes such as moving more, eating smart and managing blood pressure. Some people have a higher stroke risk, like stroke survivors and people who have atrial fibrillation (AFib), but a stroke can happen to anyone at any point in their lifetime. Most strokes caused by AFib could have been prevented with effective treatment, but only about half of AFib patients receive proper therapy. Knowing numbers such as total cholesterol, blood pressure, blood sugar and body mass index can help reduce risk, as well as knowing family history of heart disease and stroke. The Association encourages all to learn these numbers and their family history, and then talk to their doctor about lowering their personal risk for stroke. In addition to checking blood pressure and taking medication as prescribed, quitting smoking and vaping, eating better, getting healthy sleep and being active will not only help to avoid health problems issues later, but also set a great example for others. For more information, visit www.stroke.org/worldstrokeday.

Concerns Over Alleged Organic Fraud STATEWIDE Following recent allegations that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) allows imports of fraudulent organic produc t s, Cong resswoma n Chellie Pingree is calling on USDA to investigate alleged organic fraud and protect the integrity of the organic label by swiftly implementing the Strengthening Organic Enforcement (SOE) rule. “There is a signif icant amount of time and resources required to adhere to the required standards to earn a United States Depar tment of Agricult ure (USDA) certified organic label,” Pingree recently wrote to Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. “When rule-breakers cheat the system, it sows seeds of doubt about the organic label’s integrity and jeopardizes the future of the industry as a whole.” A lawsuit recently filed by Meridan Orchards, an organic hazelnut farm in Oregon, alleges fraudulent organic imports within the industry, according to Politico. In Januar y, USDA announced the Strengthening Organic Enforcement (SOE) final rule, which protects integrity in the organic supply chain and builds consumer and industry trust in the USDA organic label by strengthening organic control systems, improving farm to market traceability, and providing stronger enforcement of the USDA organic regulations. The rule follows concerns about fraudulent organic claims, including those reported in a 2017 Washington Post article that highlighted the challenges of ensuring organic integrity throughout the import process. The final rule implements 2018 Farm Bill mandates, responds to industry requests for updates to the USDA organic regulations, and addresses National Organic Standards Board (NOSB) recommendations. “I appreciate the USDA finalizing the Strengthening Organic Enforcement r ule, which will go into effect March of 2024, to help address organic fraud, encourage swift implementation and request an update on implementation once the rule goes into effect. I also urge the USDA to investigate allegations

of organic fraud,” Pingree concluded. Pingree, a long-time organic farmer, serves on the House Agriculture Committee and House Appropriations Subcommittee on Agriculture. The letter reads as follows: Dear Secretary Vilsack: Thank you for your ongoing efforts to strengthen the integrity of the organic label and provide market opportunities for organic producers. I write to raise my concerns around recent reports of fraudulent organic imports. There are existing allegations regarding fraudulent organic imports impacting hazelnut crops. As you know, organic integrity is of critical significance to the organic sector and ensuring consumers are confident in the organic label. Organic agriculture sales reached over $60 billion in 2022 and continues to grow, building a more resilient and sustainable food system. There is a signif icant amount of time and resources required to adhere to the required standards to earn a United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) certified organic label. When rulebreakers cheat the system, it sows seeds of doubt about the organic label’s integrity and jeopardizes the future of the industry as a whole. According to the U.S. Census Trade Bureau, over $3 billion worth of organic commodities were imported in 2022. I appreciate the USDA f inalizing the Strengthening Organic Enforcement rule, which will go into effect March of 2024, to help address organic fraud, encourage swift implementation and request an update on implementation once the rule goes into effect. I also urge the USDA to investigate allegations of organic fraud. When rule-breakers cheat the system, it sows seeds of doubt about the organic label’s integrity and jeopardizes the future of the industry as a whole.

Over $750,000 for Opioid Crisis STATEWIDE Recently, U.S. Senators Susan Collins, Vice Chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, and Angus King announced that the Maine Department of Public Safety has been awarded $760,000 through the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) Office of Community Oriented Policing Services’ (COPS) Anti-Heroin Task Force (AHTF) program to help combat the opioid crisis in Maine. This funding is one of only 13 AHTF awards made nationwide this year. “We must not relent in our efforts to address the ongoing opioid crisis, which affects far too many families in Maine,” said both Senators in a joint statement. “This important funding will help to ensure that Maine’s law enforcement officers have the resources they need to help keep our communities safe and effectively address this public health emergency.” AHTF provides three years of funding directly to state-level law enforcement agencies in areas with high per capita rates of primary treatment admissions for heroin, fentanyl, carfentanil, and other opioids. Specifically, this fund-

ing will support efforts to locate or investigate illicit activities, through statewide collaboration, related to the distribution of heroin, fentanyl, or carfentanil or the unlawful distribution of prescription opioids. Collins successfully secured a nearly 10% increase in total funding for the COPS office to help combat the ongoing nationwide drug crisis through the Fiscal Year 2020 Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies (CJS) funding bill. This included $35 million for the AHTF program. This year, Collins announced that the government funding package, which Senator King also voted for, included a number of substance use disorder policies to respond to the ongoing opioid crisis. The package was signed into law in December of 2022 and included a nearly $300 million increase in funding to specifically combat the opioid epidemic, through improving treatment and prevention efforts; finding alternative pain medications; addressing workforce needs, especially in rural communities; and promoting research. For more information, call 202-224-2523 (Collins) or 202257-7345 (King).

University of Southern Maine’s collection illuminates the lives of change-makers active in this movement over the past 50-plus years, as well as those here in Maine who simply lived ordinary lives.” Maine LGBTQ+ Trailblazers will feature three University of Southern Maine (USM) staff members who have played key roles in the development of the University’s LGBTQ collection, which preserves papers, photographs and other significant contributions of LGBTQ activists in Maine dating back over 50 years. Susie R. Bock, Coordinator of Special Collections and Director of the Jean Byers Sampson Center for Diversity in Maine at USM, will discuss the work of the Center and spotlight some of the images in “Act Up Fight Back Take Pictures: Ten Years of Queer Activism in Maine,” a collection of photographs by Annette Dragon taken during the 1990s, when HIV/AIDS activism and non-discrimination protections in Maine law were prominent concerns. Megan MacGregor, Instruction and Outreach Librarian at USM, will discuss the importance of the collection and

its impact on a variety of audiences. She will also field questions from attendees during the online event. Wendy Chapkis, Ph.D., Professor of Sociolog y and Women & Gender Studies at USM, will discuss “Querying the Past,” an oral history project that now features recorded interviews with over 100 LGBTQ individuals in Maine. Dr. Chapkis will discuss the unique role oral history plays in giving voice to individuals who might otherwise be overlooked in the narrative of a civil rights movement. The event will also feature Steven G. Bull, longtime social activist whose activism dates back over 50 years, when in 1973 he co-founded the WildeStein Club at the University of Maine in Orono, as well as one of Maine’s earliest LGBTQ publications, the Maine Gay Task Force Newsletter, launched in 1974. A A R P is a nonprof it, nonpartisan organization, with a membership of nearly 38 million that helps people turn their goals and dreams into “real possibilities” by changing the way America defines aging. With offices in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, AARP works to strengthen communities and promote the issues that matter most to families such as

healthcare security, financial security and personal fulfillment. AARP also advocates for individuals in the marketplace by selecting products and services of high quality and value to carry the AARP name. AARP’s unwavering commitment to the LGBTQ commuity ref lects their core belief in the dignity, worth and potential of every individual.

She has worked in healthcare for six years, both in long-term care and hospital settings. She is also an ACEcertified personal trainer, and still consults with clients. “I approach nutritional counseling with the intention of guiding clients toward optimal health,” says Redfern. “It’s important to me that they achieve that goal by being kind and empathetic to themselves. They should learn to love the body that they are in.” At West End Wellness, Redfern’s programs address a wide variety of patient needs. Nutrition Basics provides a good foundation by explaining about macronutrients, vitamins, minerals, how to read labels and how to create good eating habits that support key health aspects, such as a healthy gut and blood sugar levels. In Intuitive Eating, Redfern walks clients through steps that can help them take a break from dieting. The program is designed to help clients build a healthy relationship with food

and body image. The Weight Management Program is structured according to an individual body’s specific needs, and is calculated based on metabolic rate. Diet plans and personalized exercise plans are provided and the program helps clients increase self-discipline when it comes to personal activity and diet.

Senator Collins Visits Pratt & Whitney in North Berwick North Berwick U.S. Senator Susan Collins toured the production floor and spoke with employees of Pratt & Whitney. The company’s North Berwick Aero Systems facility produces world-class modules, components, and parts for commercial and military engines. The plant is more than 1 million square feet, and is the largest manufacturing facility under one roof in Maine. “The work being done at Pratt & Whitney in North Berwick is critical to our national security and a demonstration of the tremendous work ethic of Mainers,” said Senator Collins. “I am committed to championing initiatives that invest in the workforce that makes this facility so exceptional, and I look forward to North Berwick’s continued success in supporting our national defense.” “We’re incredibly grateful for the support we’ve received

Sundial at KCT Dedicated to Cmaylo

KENNEBUNKPORT Beloved school teacher Kathy Cmaylo retired in 2017, aftyer after 35 years of teaching. For many years, Kathy was known to utilize the nearby Kennebunkport Conservation Trust (KCT) properties in her lesson plans to further expand on the students’ learning experiences.

When she retired, Cmaylo’s co-workers at Consolidated School in Kennebunkport chipped in and raised $500, which was presented to the Kennebunkport Conservation Trust, to be used in her honor. This past August, Cmaylo was surprised with a special ceremony and unveiling of a sundial

from Sen. Collins over the years. Her dedication to our facility and employees in North Berwick is clear, and her advocacy has a direct, positive impact on numerous national defense priorities,” said President of Military Engines for Pratt & Whitney, Jill Albertelli. “Sen. Collins’s support for our current and nextgeneration engine programs will ensure the U.S. and its allies have the most advanced propulsion technology for decades to come.” As the Vice Chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee and Ranking Member of the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee, Senator Collins co-authored the Fiscal Year 2024 (FY24) Department of Defense Appropriations Act which includes 83 additional F-35 Joint Strike Fighter aircraft, full funding for Pratt & Whitney’s engine

inscribed with her name, in her honor at the Kennebunkport Conservation Trust’s 50th anniversary party. Kennebunkport Conservation Trust Executive Director Tom Bradbury, along with staff and board members decided early on that a sundial was the perfect way to honor Kathy. “We felt children would appreciate the learning aspect of it, and it would be a great way to honor a beloved teacher who taught so many students on the Trust properties.” For more information, visit www.kporttrust.org.

core upgrade for the F-35 engine produced and serviced by Pratt & Whitney, and additional funding for F-35 engine spares for the Air Force and Navy. The legislation awaits consideration by the full Senate and House. . . . LEADERS from page 12 caregivers. This year’s honoree is Hannaford Supermarkets. Hannaford maintains a sustained commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion that includes agediversity, and their leaders are intentionally building a workplace culture that supports a multigenerational workforce and considers the flexibility needs of older and younger workers alike. They intentionally include age diversity in their list of priority organizations for sponsorships and grants, putting them in the tiny minority of funders who do so. Early in the pandemic, Hannaford led the way in ensuring older people could access the food they needed by offering dedicated shopping hours for people aged 60 and older and those with compromised immune systems.

Halloween Fire Safety

STATEWIDE As Halloween creeps closer, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) is reminding the public that fire safety hazards often lurk among spooky decorations and festivities. With these

potential risks in mind, the association encourages everyone to take simple precautions that can help ensure a festively fun, safe holiday. “From decorating with jack-o-lanterns and other sea-

sonal items to costume parties and trick-or-treating, many hallmarks of Halloween can present potential fire hazards,” said Lorraine Carli, vice president of Outreach and Advocacy at NFPA. “Fortunately, the vast majority of these risks can be prevented with a little added awareness and cau-

Weekly Recipe: Persimmon Bread With the holidays fast approaching, this fruity, nutty, versatile bread is sure to be a hit at any event. Persimmons are a stunning deep orange fruit available during the fall, and contain a good amount of Vitamins A and C.

Ingredients: 3-1/2 cups sifted white whole wheat ﬂour 1-1/2 tsp. sea salt 2 tsp. baking soda

2 to 2-1/2 cups sugar 1 cup (8 oz) melted unsalted butter, cooled to room temperature 4 large eggs, room temperature, lightly beaten 2/3 cup bourbon or Cognac 2 cups persimmon puree (from about four persimmons) 2 cups walnuts or pecans, toasted and chopped 2 cups raisins, or diced dried fruits such as apricots, cranberries, or dates.

1 tsp. ground nutmeg 1 tsp. ground cardamom

3. Sift the ﬂour, sea salt, baking soda, nutmeg, cardamom, and sugar in a large mixing bowl. 4. Make a well in the center and stir in the butter, eggs, liquor, persimmon puree, followed by the nuts and raisins (or fruit).

Instructions:

5. Pour the batter into the baking pans.

1. Generously butter two 9-inch x 5-inch loaf pans. Line the bottoms with parchment paper or dust with ﬂour and tap out any excess.

6. Bake for one hour or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Makes two 9x5inch loaves

2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

tion.” According to NFPA data, candles accounted for an annual average of 7,400 home fires, resulting in 90 deaths, 670 injuries and $291 million in direct property damage between 2015 and 2019. In addition, an annual average of 790 home structure fires began with decorations, causing one civilian fire death, 26 civilian fire injuries, and $13 million in direct property damage; more than two of every five (44%) of these fires occurred when decorations were placed too close to a heat source, such as a candle or hot equipment. NFPA offers these tips and guidelines for enjoying a “bootiful” and fire-safe Halloween: Decorat ions: Many common decorations like cornstalks, crepe paper, and dried f lowers are very f lammable. Keep these and similar decorations far away from any open flames or heat sources, like candles, heaters, and light bulbs. Candles: Using candles as decoration can be risky if not done correctly. Keep them in a well- attended area out of the path of potential trick-or-treaters. Remind children of the dangers

of open flames, and make sure they are always supervised when candles are lit. Always extinguish candles before leaving an area. Jack- o -la nter n s: Glow sticks or electric candles are the safest choice when it comes to lighting up a jack-o-lantern, but if using a real candle, do so with extreme caution. Light a candle inside a jack-o-lantern using long fireplace matches or a utility lighter and keep it away from other decorations. Costumes: Avoid fabric that billows or trails behind, as these can easily ignite. When making one’s own costume, avoid loosely woven fabrics like linen and cotton, which can be very flammable. Visibility: Give children flashlights or glowsticks for lighting, these can even be incorporated into the costume. If the child has a mask, ensure the eye holes are large enough for them to see clearly. Smoke Alarms: This is a great time to make sure smoke alarms are in working order. Exits: Exits are not an apSee SAFETY on page 28 . . .

Morgan Drew LaChapelle, 29 OGUNQUIT – Morgan Drew LaChapelle passed away peacefully in his sleep at the young age of 29 on Saturday, October 14, 2023. He was born on May 2, 1994, in York and resided in Ogunquit. Morgan is described as an extremely genuine, caring, and accepting person with an infectious laugh and a great sense of humor by those that knew him. He absolutely loved life and had the biggest smile when talking with you, making everyone feel so special. He worked at Unum and Liberty Mutual for a number of years and filled his time reading, learning new things, online investing, even gardening, and was always decorating or making something. Morgan had such a unique way about him, with a flair for style all his own, and loved the reactions he elicited. He was so generous in nature, loved helping others, and always looked for ways to make people and things better. Morgan had a great passion for all animals, especially reptiles and pugs, and felt at home being outdoors, especially at Ogunquit Beach, where he grew up. Morgan is survived by his father Henry and stepmother Martha LaChapelle of Wells; mother Michelle LaChapelle and stepfather Leo Higgins of Ogunquit; sister Sydney LaChapelle, whom he loved very much; Shannon Higgins; and stepbrothers, Patrick Tarmey of Florida Keys, Andrew and his wife Maria Staples of Kennebunk, Scott Staples and Alex Staples of Wells; beloved grandmother Carol LaChapelle of Lady Lake, FL; as well as several aunts, uncles, cousins, and so many friends he considered his family. A funeral mass will be held on Saturday, October 28 at 10 a.m. at Saint Mary’s Church in Wells, followed by a celebration of life from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Clay Hill Farm Restaurant in Cape Neddick.

Upon retiring to Maine in 1985, she spent many hours volunteering at Wells Elementary School, where three of her grandchildren were pupils. She was once honored as the Volunteer of the Year at W.E.S. for her devotion and hard work on behalf of its students. Nancy was a member of the Congregational Church of Wells, where she was an active participant in the Ladies Benevolent Society. She was a member of the Wells Branch Extension group for many years. Nancy was actively involved in the Wells Visually Impaired Support Group, supported by the Iris Network in Portland. She was an advocate at the state level for the visually impaired. Nancy’s many passions included sitting in the sun on the beach and on her deck, her pets, walking, travel, family trips to Bermuda and Anna Maria Island, knitting, reading, crafts, teddy bears, shopping, Boston sports, and all things Irish. Her greatest love was her family. Nancy was preceded in death by her husband of 45 years, George Tousey III. Her beloved children include Linda Tousey Kraemer (Scott), Marcia Brooks Millian (Charles), and George Tousey (Lisa). She was a devoted grandmother to Lynsey Kraemer (Graham), Miles Kraemer (Angela), Samuel Kraemer (Renee), Christian Millian, Ryan Millian (Emily), Heather Millian Weiner (Chris), Geordie Tousey, and Garrett Tousey. She was a loving great-grandmother to Adelina, Elliot, Everett, and Riley. She also leaves behind a legacy of love and friendship with all who knew her. The family would like to send a special thank-you to her devoted caregivers, Lisa and Colleen, to Home Instead, to the ICU staff at York Hospital, and for the love and support given by Beacon Hospice.

~ Sports & Outdoors ~ BA Girls Varsity Soccer Recap Berwick Academy 0 Pingree School 2 On Wednesday, October 18, under a dramatic October sky filled with bright sunshine and dark clouds, the Berwick Academy (BA) Bulldogs played hard at Pingree School, coming away with a 2-0 loss. Although they did not put a number on the scoreboard, the Berwick team held their own and played a strong defensive game against a skillful Pingree squad. They battled from the goal to the center line, and everywhere in between. They worked as a team, moving their formation together as a unit, all while keeping Pingree at bay as long as they could. The Bulldogs kept the score 0-0 until the end of the first half when Pingree scored with 12 minutes on the clock. Then 10 minutes into the second half, Pingree scored their second goal; both goals were shot from inside the penalty box. Both goalies, Alexa Garcia (Dover, NH) and Allie Moore ( North Ber wick), displayed their agility and skill with the large number of saves they each accrued in this one game – 9 saves for Moore and 10 saves for Garcia. According to senior Lindsay Bennett, “Both goalies were slaying.” Berwick Academy 1 Montrose 0 On Friday, October 20, the Bulldogs traveled far to play the Montrose Mavericks, the defending Class D NEPSAC champs, and had a great com-

In the 6th minute the Bulldogs were almost chasing the game after a kerfuff le in the box led to multiple blocked shots and attempted clears, and a critical defensive play from Leila Beakes (Rollinsford, NH). BA struggled to acclimate to the game and adjust to Montrose’s energy and speed, but began to hit their stride later in the first half, and went to the halftime break tied 0-0. The Bulldogs came out particularly energized and hungry in the second half. Ginger Friedman (North Hampton, NH) was all over the field playing multiple positions, and her energy was contagious. They broke the deadlock in the 70th minute when Moore beat her defender, and placed a beautiful shot to the top right corner for the 1-0 win, off a pass from Friedman. The back four of Juliette Lohnes (Berwick), Eliza Small (Portsmouth, NH), Jess Wojdak ( West Newbur y, M A), and Beakes, were critical in helping goalkeepers, Garcia and Moore, earn their 9th shutout of the season with a combined 4 saves. The Bulldogs held a 5-4 advantage in shots on goal and a 4-2 advantage on corner kicks. The Mavericks suffered only their second loss of the season. BA improves to 9-3-2 with the win and have five regular season games left to play. They travelled to Proctor Academy on Wednesday, October 25.

Paladino’s effort helped him secure “Golfer of the Year” honors while Kuchinsky’s and DeBaie’s impressive rounds helped “Trade Winds” achieve the team championship. The seven members of
