Celebrate “Happy Trolleyween” at Seashore Trolley Museum

Care Team Connects Mainers During ACA Open Enrollment STATEWIDE Starting November 1, a sixweek window opens for Mainers to explore affordable health care options through the Affordable Care Act (ACA) Health Insurance Marketplace. MaineHealth’s Access to Care team is prepared to assist and educate Mainers in shopping for health insurance plans during the Open Enrollment period, which runs through December 15. This is the once-a-year opportunity to sign up for health coverage in 2021. Access to affordable health coverage has never been more important considering the COVID-19 pandemic, increased rates of unemployment, and related loss of employer-based coverage. With financial assistance available to many individuals,

the Marketplace provides a platform to shop for a plan that fits the needs of each person. Financial subsidies are available to defray costs for individuals who: 1) are not offered employer-based health insurance; 2) have an annual income between $17,609-$51,040; and 3) are a U.S. citizen or Lawfully Present Immigrant (Lawfully Present Immigrants are eligible for financial assistance with no income as long as they are not eligible for Medicaid). In addition to subsidies reducing the costs of care, the expected average rate decrease in premium costs for 2021 is 13 percent. “The ACA Health Insurance Marketplace subsidies and cost sharing reduction benSee CARE page 28...

Maine Forest Service Publishes its Checklist of Maine Spiders

AUGUSTA The Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry’s (DACF) Maine Forest Service (MFS) recently published its Checklist of Maine Spiders. The spider checklist marks the culmination of a 14-year collaboration between deceased researcher and Maine spider expert

Dr. Daniel T. Jennings and the MFS, as well as retired Forest Entomologist Charlene Donahue, and Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife (MIFW). Jennings passed away September 14, 2020, as the final details of the publication were being worked out. “Most people don’t count

spiders among their favorite creatures,” commented Allison Kanoti, State Entomologist. “But spiders are an important part of our world, and we depend upon their existence.” The Checklist of Maine Spiders is available online at www.maine.gov for anyone interested in cataloging their encounters with these fascinating residents of Maine, and the detailed information on the 71,000 specimens Jennings identified is available from the MFS. In the fall of 2006, representatives of the MFS and MIFW met with Dr. Jennings to devise a plan that would allow him to continue his work on identifying Maine spiders. The goal was to understand better what lives in Maine and publish a checklist of Maine spiders so that others

could then use this baseline information. At the time of the meeting, Jennings had identified 586 species from Maine. With the support of DACF and MIFW, Jennings’ existing database was expanded, and he identified another 91 species, bringing the total to 677 different kinds of spiders found in Maine. Seventy-one thousand individual spiders were collected, cataloged, and identified by Jennings. Most were collected by Jennings or through his work with Franklin Graham on the Spiders of Milbridge (Washington County) and Nancy Sferra on the spiders of the Waterboro (York County) pine barrens. Many others came from the University of Maine research projects (particularly on spruce budworm and blueberry production, and many graduate student projects) and MFS bark beetle and wood borer traps. Still others were gathered on a spider BioBlitz held in Acadia National Park in 2007 and through material submitted by curious collectors. Spiders were examined from all sixteen Maine counties and a diversity of habitats, including forests, blueberry fields,

There is more work to be done on understanding Maine’s spider fauna. Not only is the data collected through Jennings’ work rich in details not captured in the checklist, but there are also undoubtedly undiscovered species to be documented. These could include spiders that extend their ranges northward with a warming climate and those which remain uncatalogued due to under-sampling of some Maine areas and the varied natural features of the state.

COVID-19 Contact Tracing Scam WASHINGTON, D.C. U.S. Senator Susan Collins is warning Mainers to be on alert for criminals impersonating public health officials in an effort to gain access to their credit card information. This scam starts with a phone call alleging that the recipient has come into contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19. The message recommends that the person self-isolate and get tested. The scammer then seeks to gain the individual’s credit card number, claiming that this information is needed to send a COVID-19 test kit. The scammer may also insist that the individual will be penalized if they do not agree to provide this information immediately. This scam is the latest iteration of coronavirus-related phone, text, and email scams seeking to trick or frighten consumers into sharing personally identifiable information and financial details in exchange for a stimulus check, COVID-19 vaccine, or fake government grant. “As Chairman of the Aging Committee, one of my top priorities is putting a stop to scams that seek to rob Americans of their personal information and hard-earned money,” said Sen-

ator Collins. “It is reprehensible that these criminals are looking to take advantage of this crisis for their own gain. I urge the public to be wary of phone calls, texts, or emails from unknown sources that demand immediate action.” “Contact tracing is an essential part of Maine CDC’s work to limit potential spread of the virus that causes COVID19,” said Dr. Nirav D. Shah, Director of the Maine CDC. “But contact tracers will only ask questions specific to potential exposure and will not seek information about bank accounts, credit cards, Social Security numbers, or anything unrelated to potential virus exposure.” The Federal Trade Commission offers the following tips to protect yourself from contact tracing scams: Real contact tracers won’t ask you for money and demand payment by any means, including gift card, money transfer, or cryptocurrency; Contact tracing does not require your bank account, credit card number, immigration status, or Social Security number; Do not click any links in a See SCAM page 14...

US Air Force Veteran: LtCol/Command Pilot/ Manager/Planner/Instructor/Staff in NATO Northern HQ Bachelor and Masters degrees leading to positions on US government and private industry engineering teams Those are my thoughts on some of the issues facing us and how I would approach them. This is where my heart is. Protect Maine taxpayers: Return the Statehouse to fiscal responsibility. Protect our economy and Maine workers: Business friendly policies and mandatory E-verify for all. Protect our police: Support the police who are under assault both politically and physically Protect gun owners: Fight creeping infringements on ownership/possession. Protect school choice: Parents should determine how best to educate their children. Protect all Maine voters: Enact voter photo ID Protect our citizens: Enact strong protections for defending self and family. Innocent lives matter. Protect our environment: Explore all viable sources of clean energy.

highlighted in this program are Elizabeth Coatsworth, Ruth Moore, and Mary Ellen Chase. Elizabeth Coatsworth, who called Chimney Farm in Damariscotta her home for most of her adult life, was a bestselling children’s book writer, poet, novelist, and essayist on rural Maine living. Very popular during her lifetime, she won the Newbery award for her children’s book, The Cat Who Went to Heaven (1930) and wrote over ninety books between 1910 and 1976. Ruth Moore was probably best known in her own time for the novel Spoonhandle (1946), about a Maine island family. This novel sold over a million copies and was made into a major motion picture by 20th Century Fox called Deep Waters (1948), filmed on Vinalhaven.

Joseph Conforti will discuss Mary Ellen Chase, who was the author of over thirty books, she wrote a great deal of Maine-based fiction, including the bestselling novel Windswept (1941). In a 1936 inter-

view in the Portland Sunday Telegram, Chase declared that she wrote “largely because I want to acquaint others with the background of Maine life, with the splendid character of Maine people, and with the unsurpassed loveliness of Maine fields, shores, and sea.”

10 Halloween Safety Tips for Pets Halloween can be a festive and fun time for children and families but for pets it can be a nightmare. Skip the stress and keep your pets safe this year by following these 10 easy tips. 1. Trick-or-treat candies are not for pets. All forms of chocolate—especially baking or dark chocolate—can be dangerous, even lethal, for dogs and cats. Symptoms of chocolate poisoning may include vomiting, diarrhea, rapid breathing, increased heart rate, and seizures. Halloween candies containing the artificial sweetener xylitol can also be poisonous to dogs. Even small amounts of xylitol can cause a sudden drop in blood sugar and subsequent loss of coordination and seizures. 2. Don’t leave pets out in the yard on Halloween. Vicious pranksters have been known to tease, injure, steal, and even kill pets on Halloween night! Inexcusable? Black cats are especially at risk from pranks or other cruelty-related incidents. In fact, many shelters do not adopt out black cats during the month of need volunteers to brush and pet them. Please come visit us and apply or call Cattail Farm at 207216-9169. Our adoption center at 1420 Post Road is now open by appointment. Come and meet the kitties available for adoption. Call 207-646-1611 to schedule a visit. Thank you all for your kindness and support. Stay safe!

October as a safety precaution. 3. Keep pets confined and away from the door. Indoors is certainly better than outdoors on Halloween, but your door will be constantly opening and closing, and strangers will be on your doorstep dressed in unusual costumes. This, of course, can be scary for our furry friends, which can result in escape attempts or unexpected aggression. Putting your dog or cat in a secure crate or room away from the front door will reduce stress and prevent them from darting outside into the night. 4. Keep glow sticks away from pets. While glow sticks can help keep people safe on Halloween night, they can add some unwanted drama to the holiday if a pet chews one open. Luckily, the liquid inside most glow sticks is non-toxic, so it won’t actually make pets sick. Pets who get into a glow stick may drool, paw at their mouth, become agitated, and sometimes vomit. If your pet does chew on a glow stick, offer some fresh water or a small meal to help clear the material out of the mouth. 5. Keep Halloween plants such as pumpkins and corn out of reach. While small amounts of corn and pumpkin can be fed safely to many pets, ingesting uncooked, potentially moldy Halloween pumpkins or corn displays can cause problems. Gastrointestinal upset is a possibility whenever pets eat something they aren’t used to, and intestinal blockage can occur if

large pieces are swallowed. 6. Don’t keep lit pumpkins around pets. If you are using candles to light your jack-o-lanterns or other Halloween decorations, make sure to place them well out of reach of your pets. Should they get too close, they run the risk of burning themselves or causing a fire. 7. Keep electric and battery-powered Halloween decorations out of reach. Electric and battery-powered Halloween decorations are certainly safer than open candles, but they still can present a risk to pets. Pets who chew on electrical cords can receive a possibly life-threatening electrical shock or burn. Batteries may cause chemical burns when chewed open or gastrointestinal blockage if swallowed. Shards of glass or plastic can cause lacerations anywhere on the body or, if swallowed, within the gastrointestinal tract. 8. Don’t dress your pet in a costume unless you know they’ll love it. Costumes should not restrict movement, hearing, eyesight, or the ability to breathe. 9. Try on pet costumes before the big night. Don’t wait until Halloween night to put See TIPS page 25...

Dear Computer Lady, Long, long time reader here – thanks for sharing your wonderful knowledge with us! I have a Google email address that I use, and it bothers me that I will see ads reminiscent of sites I’ve looked up. That is invasive to me and I don’t like it because I handle my personal business through the site as well as fun stuff, etc. I am looking at using Outlook.com, because I can have access to it over the Internet, but am not sure whether I’m trading one annoyance for another or not. Do you know whether Microsoft’s Outlook online tracks their customer’s information, and if so, can you suggest another good online email system that does not track that I could use? It’s the principle of the thing – no one should have their nose in my email - that is sent from my home - unless I want them to know what information is in it. Thanks for any help you

can offer. Elaine Dear Elaine, I don’t personally use Outlook.com for email, although I do use Google for my email, however, I am pretty sure that Outlook.com generates revenue in the same way that Gmail and all the other free email programs out there do... through advertising. When you and I sign up for just about any free online email address, we have to first click that we agree to the companies terms and conditions, and by clicking that we agree, we are giving them permission to have their nose in our email so that they can customize advertisements and generate revenue. That revenue in turn allows them to offer the email service without charging us for it. Google does offer a premium version of their email that is supposed to be free of advertisements, but it has a yearly fee,

Perhaps you have addressed my question before, but I have not found it.

are T-Mobile and Metro by TMobile’s tips for weathering big winter storms: 1. Keep phones and devices fully charged, and store back-up chargers and batteries. There’s nothing quite like losing power when your phone has a low battery, so keep your devices full of juice. And if your power goes out, make sure you have backup chargers, portable chargers, and/or batteries so you can keep your devices on until your power comes back. You’ll also want to have a charger handy if you’re travelling. If you get stranded or stuck while driving, you’ll want a way to stay connected with loved ones or emergency services. 2. Pre-program important numbers in your phone. Most of us have our friends, family and coworkers programmed in our phones. But in an emergency, you may need to contact your local police, fire departments or power company. Program these numbers now so that you don’t waste precious time looking them up during an emergency. 3. Text instead of calling, and keep your calls short. During a weather event, when many people may be trying to access a crowded wireless network at the same time, text messages are more likely to get through than phone calls because they take up fewer network resources. If you absolutely need to make a call, consider keeping it short so others can also get through. The See CONNECT page 29...

FINANCE & CAREER Home Sales & Values Increase Working Capital Loans Available

AUGUSTA With historically-low interest rates, and more buyers than sellers, sales of single-family existing homes increased 22.78% comparing September 2020 to September 2019. According to statistics released by Maine Listings, the median sales price (MSP) for homes sold in September 2020 rose 19.56% to $273,500, compared to September 2019. The MSP indicates that half of the homes were sold for more and half sold for less. “September’s impressive sales volume capped a solid third-quarter recovery for Maine residential real estate,” says Tom Cole, 2020 President of the Maine Association of REALTORS® and Managing Broker of Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate The Masiello Group in Brunswick.

“January through September 2020 sales are 2.6 percent ahead of the comparable time period for 2019—Maine’s best year ever. “Demand is being powered by historically-low mortgage interest rates combined with the allure of Maine’s quality of life and response to COVID-19 from across the country, while the supply of for-sale properties also remains historically low. With more buyers than sellers in most markets, we are seeing strong competition, faster sales, and increasing pricing,” says Cole. “Typically, about 25 percent of home purchases in Maine are made by out-of-state buyers, and we’re seeing that percentage increase to around 33 percent. In September of 2019, Maine had 445 single family homes purchased by out-of-state buyers. In September 2020, that number was 735.”

Across the country, sales also increased by double-digits. The National Association of Realtors reports that sales nationwide are up 21.8% comparing September 2020 to September 2019, and the national MSP reached $316,200 in September 2020—a rise of 15.2% over September 2019. In the regional Northeast, sales of single-family existing homes jumped 22.9%, and the regional MSP of $354,600 reflects a 17.8% increase. “Buyers are anxiously ready and waiting for homes to come on the market. If your plans include selling or buying real estate, working with a REALTOR® can provide unparalleled knowledge of local market conditions and guide you through the process during this high-demand environment,” adds Cole.

Habitat for Humanity Seeks Family CAPE PORPOISE Habitat for Humanity York County (HFHYC) is currently selecting a partner family for a three-bedroom house in Cape Porpoise. Construction on the Cape Porpoise house will begin in Spring of 2021. Habitat can make the dream of homeownership achievable for hardworking low-income families in York County. HFHYC partners with local, low-income families in York County who show a demonstrated need for safe, affordable housing, a willingness to partner by completing “sweat equity” in the building of their own homes or the

homes of other Habitat families, and the ability to repay an affordable mortgage. Homes are constructed using volunteer labor, donated materials, and funds, and when completed the homeowners’ mortgage payments are recycled to support the construction of future Habitat for Humanity homes. Who is eligible for a HFHYC home? Low-income families living or working in York County whose annual incomes are between 30% and 60% of the area median income are eligible for this new home. Monthly mortgage payments will be no more than 28% of the partner family’s household income. Habitat’s path to home-

ownership is an important and in-depth process, requiring hard work, time and dedication. But this helps to ensure the longterm success of Habitat homeowners. Habitat for Humanity York County is very excited to be creating an affordable homeownership opportunity in Cape Porpoise, Kennebunkport. Affordable homeownership is particularly unattainable in this community, where the median home price is $663,500. It would not be possible for Habitat to work in Cape Porpoise without the support of a private citizen who generously donated the property to Habitat for Humanity for the creation of affordable

ATLANTA The U.S. Small Business Administration announced that Economic Injury Disaster Loans are available to small businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, small businesses engaged in aquaculture, and private nonprofit organizations in York County as a result of drought that began on September 22. “This county is eligible because it is contiguous to one or more primary counties in New Hampshire. The Small Business Administration recognizes that disasters do not usually stop at county or state lines. For that reason, counties adjacent to primary counties named in the declaration are included,” said Michael Lampton, acting director of SBA’s Field Operations Center East. Under this declaration, the SBA’s Economic Injury Disaster Loan program is available to eligible farm-related and nonfarm-related entities that suffered financial losses as a direct result of this disaster. Except for aquaculture enterprises, SBA cannot provide disaster loans to agricultural producers, farmers and ranchers. Nurseries are elihomeownership. If you are interested in becoming the next Habitat partner family, visit www.habitatyorkcounty.org/homeownership to see the specific qualifications and application process. Applications must be completed by November 13. Email program@ habitatyorkcounty.org or call 207-985-450 with any questions.

gible to apply for economic injury disaster loans for losses caused by drought conditions. The loan amount can be up to $2 million with interest rates of 3% for small businesses and 2.75% for private nonprofit organizations of all sizes, with terms up to 30 years. The SBA determines eligibility based on the size of the applicant, type of activity and its financial resources. Loan amounts and terms are set by the SBA and are based on each applicant’s financial condition. These working capital loans may be used to pay fixed debts, payroll, accounts payable, and other bills that could have been paid had the disaster not occurred. The loans are not intended to replace lost sales or profits. Applicants may apply online using the Electronic Loan Application (ELA) via SBA’s secure website at DisasterLoan.sba.gov and should apply under SBA declaration # 16726, not for the COVID-19 incident. Disaster loan information and application forms may also be obtained by calling the SBA’s Customer Service Center at 800-659-2955 or by sending an email to DisasterCustomerService@sba.gov. Completed applications should be mailed to: U.S. Small Business Administration, Processing and Disbursement Center, 14925 Kingsport Road, Fort Worth, TX 76155. Submit completed loan applications to SBA no later than June 14, 2021. To learn more, visit www.sba.gov.

Caution When Decorating with Candles and Lighting As families find creative ways to celebrate Halloween in response to COVID-19, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) urges everyone to keep fire safety in mind, particularly when decorating with candles and electrical lighting. “Because typical Halloween activities like trick-or-treating may be curtailed or even canceled in some communities, we suspect an even bigger focus on Halloween decorating in and around homes this year,” said Lorraine Carli, NFPA’s vice president of Outreach and Advocacy. “We urge everyone to carefully consider fire safety to ensure that

celebrations remain festively spooky, not hazardous.” According to NFPA, candles are among the leading causes of U.S. home fires. NFPA’s latest U.S. Home Candle Fires report shows that an annual average of 7,610 home fires are started by candles, resulting in 81 deaths, 677 injuries and $278 million in direct property damage. In addition, an average of 770 home fires started when decorations ignited. These fires caused an average of two civilian deaths, 20 civilian injuries, and $11.1 million in direct property damage per year. NFPA offers these reminders to make sure everyone’s Halloween celebrations don’t go

Trump Administration Sends 400,000 State-of-the Art BinaxNOW Tests to Maine AUGUSTA As part of the Trump Administration’s comprehensive national effort to fight the COVID-19 pandemic and to assist the nation’s Governors in doing so, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is sending 400,000 stateof-the-art Abbott BinaxNOW COVID-19 point of care antigen tests to the State of Maine. The rapid point of care tests, which can diagnose coronavirus infection in as little as fifteen minutes, will be distributed at the discretion of Governor Janet Mills to support testing K-12 students, teachers, nursing home patients and staff, higher education, critical infrastructure, first responders, and other priorities as she deems fit. The Trump Administration has shipped over 26,000 COVID-19 rapid tests directly to congregate care settings such as Maine nursing homes and assisted living facilities in the state. As of October 26 over 108,000 BinaxNOW tests have been

shipped to Maine. “To facilitate the continued re-opening of Maine schools, businesses and economy, the Trump Administration has prioritized scaling up the state’s point of care testing capacity by making this $760 million national investment in BinaxNOW tests,” said Assistant Secretary for Health Admiral Brett Giroir, MD. “Distributing these rapid tests directly to states is consistent with the Trump Administration’s successful, ongoing

approach of testing the right person, with the right test at the right time, is working and the effort will continue until the pandemic is under control.” Giroir pointed out that testing does not substitute for avoiding crowded indoor spaces, washing one’s hands, or wearing a mask when not able to physically distance. “Combining personal responsibility with smart testing is a foundational pillar of the Administration’s national testing strategy.”

Health & Fitness Confused By Medicare Options? A Tutorial for Open Enrollment Once a year, an important window of opportunity arrives for Medicare beneficiaries and those about to enroll in the government’s health insurance program for older Americans. It’s the Medicare open enrollment period, which runs annually from October 15 to December 7. During those nearly two months, new enrollments are allowed and current recipients can make changes to their plans. And it’s definitely not a period to be taken lightly because careful study is required to determine what Medicare plan is best for any individual, says Chris Orestis, the president of LifeCare Xchange who is known as the “Retirement Genius” (www.retirementgenius.com). “Enrolling in Medicare can be complicated, and if you don’t pay attention you can end up missing needed coverage or paying more out-ofpocket expenses in premiums, co-pays and deductibles than you realize-- or can afford,” Orestis says. About 68 million Americans are enrolled in Medicare, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. Here are a few important facts to know for anyone ready to enroll and join them, or who needs to change their plan: Medicare coverage comes in two primary forms that participants can choose from, Orestis says. The original and traditional Medicare program is administered through the federal government and anyone 65 and older qualifies automatically. Meanwhile, there are Medicare Advantage plans that are sold by private insurance companies. Those have become increasingly popular, with more than one-third of all Medicare beneficiaries enrolled in one. Beyond the usual things covered by health insurance, the Advantage plans sometimes offer additional services, such as routine vision, hearing and dental care. If things aren’t bewildering enough, it’s also important to understand what Medicare Parts A, B, C and D are and what each does, Orestis says. “Here’s how that alphabet soup of Medicare coverage breaks down,” he says.”Medicare Part A pays for hospital and skilled nursing facility care. Medicare Part B pays 80 percent of costs for doctors, outpatient services

and medical equipment. Medicare Part C is a private Advantage Plan. Medicare Part D pays for prescriptions.” Even with Medicare coverage, patients can still have deductibles and copays that can

add up quickly. “That’s where Medicare Supplement Insurance (Medigap) comes in,” Orestis says. “It’s a private insurance that pays the gaps in the varieties of Medicare coverage.” Still confused? Not to

Saint Joseph’s College of Maine Names Tramuto Scholar-In-Residence STANDISH Saint Joseph’s College of Maine has named Donato Tramuto, an author, social justice activist, corporate leader and philanthropist, as the college’s first Honorary Scholar-in-Residence. Tramuto delivered the Saint Joseph’s commencement keynote in 2019 where he received an Honorary Doctorate of Public Service. In making today’s video announcement during the annual Convocation to the incoming freshmen class, faculty, staff, parents and alumni, President James S. Dlugos noted how Tramuto’s “extraordinary achievements and authentic character align with the core values of Saint Joseph’s College: community, compassion, integrity, faith, justice, respect and excellence. In addition, Donato’s commitment to social justice closely aligns with our goal to expand upon our mission and create an exemplary 21st century college.” As Honorary Scholar-inResidence, Tramuto will be focused on three core areas in collaboration with students, faculty and staff across the college: compassionate leadership, loneliness and social isolation, and social determinants of health. The author of Life’s Bulldozer Moments: How Adversity Leads to Success in Life and Business, Tramuto is currently working on his second book, which will feature interviews with a group of highly accomplished men and women whose leadership is guided by the values of compassion, courage and community support. “As someone who has created companies and served as a CEO for many years, I view

compassionate leadership as the core tenet of how one can successfully influence a workplace by truly embracing the notion that each person’s dignity is to be valued and respected,” said Tramuto. The Maine-based Tramuto Foundation and the global nonprofit Health eVillages, have partnered with Saint Joseph’s College Institute for Integrative Aging to address what Tramuto sees as the new chronic condition of the 21st century – loneliness and social isolation. “From students who prefer social media to communicate, to social distancing during this pandemic, the toxic effects of loneliness do not discriminate between the young and old, the rich or poor,” Tramuto noted. “It is my hope that we can build a platform for lifelong learning that will continue to support the need that every life is deemed relevant, regardless of age or income.” He intends to involve faculty and students in ongoing discussions around the social determinants of health and how, in this time of COVID-19 and racial injustice, populations with limited access to healthcare and economic security are being dis-

Realty Agency Donates to Three River Farmers Alliance Three River Farmers Alliance. WRP’s team leader Troy Williams says “We completely supported Geneve in wanting to help the Alliance in a time of great need. We shared the Front Porch Project opportunity with past and present clients, and many of Williams Realty Partners staff also took advantage of the event to get some truly memorable family pictures from the spring of 2020.” In five years, the Alliance has grown from a single station wagon delivering produce from a few farms to five refrigerated trucks delivering produce, meat, cheeses, meal kits and more from over 50 Seacoast farms to homes, restaurants and stores in Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts. When the coronavirus crisis began and restaurants shut down overnight, the Alliance pivoted in the space of a week to a new “Veggie-Go” program; delivering fresh farm products directly to residential homes. An integral part of their mission remained,

however – to ensure that food pantries and other organizations who serve those in need have fresh fruits and vegetables to offer their clients. “Donations have always been a part of Three River Farmers Alliance,” said co-owner Josh Jennings, who also owns and operates Meadow’s Mirth Farm in Brentwood, NH. Jennings noted that the Alliance has long supplied area food banks. The money donated to the Alliance through the efforts of Hoffman and Williams Realty Partners will be used to purchase locally sourced fresh produce and other farm products that will be earmarked for food banks and other charitable organizations. Williams Realty Partners is located at 4 Market Place Drive, #1-2. For more information, visit www.williamsrealtypartners. com, call the office at 207-3518188, or call Hilary Niles at 802798-2535 for the Three River Farmers Alliance and the VeggieGo program.

psychology. He later moved to Manchester, NH, to be near the airport where he parked his plane. He flew his Cessna 172XP plane all over the United States, to Canada and Bermuda. Walter was an avid hiker and became passionate about

the White Mountains at an early age while camping at Dolly Cop with his family. He brought his own family there for many years to camp, hike, swim, and fish. He hiked the Appalachian Trail and all the 4,000-footers in New England, giving him a spot in the 4,000 footers club.

proportionately impacted. According to Tramuto, “All of these factors speak to the inequality that remains rampant in our society. It is simply time for all of us, including the students, administration, staff and faculty of Saint Joseph’s College, to take the necessary action that will

have a sustainable and positive impact for generations to come.” Founded in 1912 by the Sisters of Mercy in Portland, Saint Joseph’s College is Maine’s only Catholic liberal arts college, located on the shore of Sebago Lake in Standish. Learn more at www.sjcme.edu.

Some of Walter’s other pastime favorites include biking, flying gliders, hang gliding, radio-controlled airplanes, amateur (HAM) radio, and geocaching. He has placed caches all over the country for others to find. One of his geocaching partners placed one at Durgin Pines so that when people find it, they can say hello to Walter. Walter is also an amazing amateur photographer who developed his own photos at home in a self-built darkroom, and won many photography awards. Walter has enjoyed an adventurous, outdoor lifestyle most of his life, and loves sharing stories about his experiences.

YORK Williams Realty Partners (WRP) announced recently that they made a donation of $2,265 to the Three River Farmers Alliance, a distribution network for seacoast farmers. In March, Williams Realty Partners’ on-staff professional photographer, Geneve Hoffman, learned of an idea that had begun in Massachusetts and was quickly catching on nationally, the Front Porch Project. The Front Porch Project was a way for photographers to document the historic coronavirus quarantine and simultaneously raise money for their favorite charity. Each photographer participating in the Front Porch Project took portraits of individuals and families on their front porches during the spring quarantine – from a safe distance – and asked that the family make a donation in any amount to an organization of the photographers’ choice in exchange for the pictures. For Hoffman, that organization was ...SAKOWICZ from page 1

People and Business Profiles

Alpha Omega Connections Heals During Pandemic CAPE NEDDICK In the midst of a year of shutdowns and small business closures, one local small business is thriving as people seek healing and connection to a higher purpose. Karen Blackwell is celebrating the second anniversary of her sound healing business, Alpha Omega Connections. A Maine local, Blackwell provides sound healing, meaningful guidance and spiritual healing for those who are looking to more fully understand themselves and their purpose here on Earth. As the COVID-19 pandemic continued to negatively affect other businesses, Blackwell discovered that the pandemic had the opposite impact on Alpha Omega Connections – it brought a wave of people who were looking for meaning and purpose. “People have become more introspective and want to connect to meaning and joy during these difficult times. We help them with a variety of issues including processing grief, loss and seeking happiness. We believe healing is a joint venture

and we empower people to heal themselves as we connect them with their higher guides,” says Blackwell. A typical healing session at Alpha Omega Connections begins with a deep listening session between a client and Blackwell, as she discovers where people are in their journey towards healing and if there are any pressing issues that need attention. Blackwell then pairs each client with their ideal healing ritual. A typical session may include the use of ancient shamanic tools, modern lasers with crystals, stones, colors and light, enhanced and amplified

by handmade singing bowls to bring clarity and healing. Blackwell has been a healer her whole life, dedicated to connecting people with their higher purpose and guides and guiding them as they continue their healing journey. She’s traveled to ancient sites in South America, Europe, and the Middle East to feel and learn healing arts from various skilled teachers and practitioners. Blackwell takes healing seriously and brings insight and clarity into every session. Her goal is to enable others to heal themselves as well. She believes that matching each client with the ideal healing ritual will connect them with their higher self and unlock their ability to heal. Sessions take place at a gorgeous, private space near Mt. Agamenticus that Blackwell has outfitted with colors, light and sound to promote ideal healing conditions. Sessions range 2.5-3 hours, and all sessions are strictly one-on-one and confidential. For more information, call 207-351-8828 or visit www.alphaomegaconnections.com.

‘Friends of York Hospital’ Awards 2020 Scholarships YORK A year like no other, required a changes to the process of selecting students for the Friends of York Hospital Scholarship Program - a program that annually awards scholarships to graduating seniors who plan to enter the medical/healthcare field and live within York Hospital’s service area [southern York county, Kittery, Eliot, The Berwicks, Sanford, Lebanon, Kennebunk, Wells, Moody, Ogunquit, York]. Due to COVID-19, the inperson student interview process was omitted. Scholarship Committee members and volunteers devoted many hours to read applications and offer thoughtful recommendations regarding each of this year’s scholarship hopefuls. How will their freshman year of college play out? One thing is for sure – these gifted, wonderful young people will find their way forward into the medical field as compassionate providers - whether it be as a physician, nurse, researcher, physical therapist or phlebotomist. The Scholarship Committee wishes them WELL! Mary Kocev is a gradu-

ate of York High School and the recipient of a $3,000 scholarship. She has been a familiar face at York Hospital since her freshman year when she started volunteering. As a volunteer she brought meals to patients, delivered mail, sat with patients who needed someone to chat with, and even shepherded a therapy dog to patient rooms for personal visits! In June 2019, Mary became an aide at Sentry Hill working with resident seniors, where she fell in love with working with older adults. This reinforced her decision to attend St. Anselm College to get her Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing, become a registered nurse, with plans to eventually obtain a Master of Nursing degree, with a focus on gerontology. Katie Plourde is a Wells High School graduate and the recipient of a $2,000 scholarship to pursue her plans to become a doctor of osteopathic medicine or a physician assistant. While in high school, she was a member of the National Honor Society and received high honors for all trimesters, freshman through senior years. In addition to York Hospital, Katie volunteered her

time to serve meals at the Preble Street soup kitchen and help during Red Cross blood drives. Volunteering at York Hospital and job shadowing our physicians have heightened her interest in medicine. Sophie Trafton is a graduate of York High School and the recipient of a $2,000 scholarship. Among her many academic awards are National Honor Society, the Suffolk University Book Award and the World Language Honor Society. We wish Sophie well in her plans to major in biochemistry with the objective of better understanding the chemical processes of cells to study disease and cancer genes. Through her love of the sciences. Emma Parrotta graduated from York High School, and has received a $1,000 scholarship to pursue a nursing degree at The University of Maine in Orono. Her decision to become a nurse was born out of love of the profession from her grandmother. An honor student for her entire high school career, Emma also volunteered at York Hospital, and dedicated three summer church-sponsored mission trips to help better the lives of others.

The store is scheduled to open its doors for in-person shopping and curbside pickup, beginning 10 a.m. on Friday, October 30. The newly constructed building is located at 495 Harold L Dow Highway in Eliot, adjacent to the Company’s 2,200 sq. ft. manufacturing facility and 32,800 sq. ft. cultivation facility. Designed to serve Maine’s diverse demographics, the Sweet Dirt Medicinals store will showcase a product mix including dried flower, vaporizable and activated oils, concentrates, capsules, tinctures, topicals, and ancillary products from an array of medicinally-focused, Mainebased growers, caregivers, and artisans. “The Eliot store offers safe, easy access for first-time patients, seniors, and those with physical limitations or disabilities and gives us the opportunity to provide relief to thousands of patients in Southern Maine and the surrounding communities,”

says Jessica Oliver, vice president of cannabis operations. The new location will offer in-store consultation and ordering, limited to four patients at a time, as well as curbside pickup. Sweet Dirt Medicinals has implemented strict safety standards to protect employee and patient health including extensive daily cleaning and sanitation protocols. Per state regulations, employees and visitors are required to wear a mask while in the store. The Eliot Sweet Dirt store will be open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Qualified patients must possess a valid medical cannabis card and state-issued ID in order to purchase medicinal cannabis. “We’re grateful to be able to deepen our roots here in Eliot,” said Kirstin Pope, co-founder of Sweet Dirt Medicinals. “As a caregiver, I am thrilled to offer our products and cannabis knowledge to patients in such a beautiful building and in a town and community that has been so supportive of our mission and growth.” Learn more by visiting www.sweetdirt.com, calling 207439-1600, or emailing store@ sweetdirt.com.

DRIVE Awards Issued Virtually KENNEBUNK The Kennebunk-Kennebunkport-Arundel Chamber of Commerce held its annual DRIVE event in September and conducted this year’s awards, dinner and meeting ceremony virtually, thanks to live and recorded video via ZOOM.

Olivia Pride is the recipient of a $1,000 scholarship. She is a graduate of Marshwood High School, and is attending The University of New Hampshire this fall. Olivia has a strong desire to become a speech therapist, born out of a family experience with a speech disorder. She also felt honored to shadow a speech pathologist at York Hospital Pediatric Rehab Services. While she maintained a high academic profile, Olivia excelled in numerous athletic endeavors and volunteer service programs. For further questions about the Friends of York Hospital Volunteer organization, contact Volunteer Coordinator, Kate Ford, at kford@yorkhospital.com or 207-351-2224.

Frank T. Adams, 97 WELLS – Frank T. Adams of South Street, Wells, passed away peacefully October 19, 2020 at the Gosnell Hospice in Scarborough. He was born in York on April 25, 1923, the son of William and Matilda (Tatterson) Adams and graduated from York High School. After graduation, Frank proudly served in the U.S. Air Force during WWII. From 1943 to 1945, he was in the 410th Fighter Squadron, 373rd Fighter group touring all over Europe. Upon his return home,

he worked as an accountant for the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard from 1950 to 1978. Frank served as the Superintendent of the Oceanview Cemetery in Wells from 1970 to 1989. Frank enjoyed researching genealogy of all kinds, especially of the veterans buried in the Oceanview Cemetery. He kept extensive records of all those service men and women. Frank also enjoyed supporting his local restaurants in the Wells area and surrounding towns. He was preceded by his parents and brother Hebert “Herbie” Adams. Surviving is his companion since 1989, Paul Paris, Jr. of Wells. At Frank’s request, there will be no services held. In lieu of flowers, friends may make a memorial donation in Frank’s name to the Wells Public Library, 1434 Post Road, Wells.

Henry Kim, 55 YORK – Henry Kim passed away unexpectedly on October 12, 2020 at the age of 55. He was a loving husband, father, brother, and son. He was a very caring pharmacist for 28 years. Henry was a quiet and gentle soul who enjoyed spending time with his family. He had a passion for fishing and boating which he shared with some friends and his three brothers, growing up in Montauk, NY. Henry is survived by his wife Esme; two daughters, Teal and Pari; mother Mary; three brothers, John, George; and Jim; along with several nieces and nephews, sister- and brother-inlaws, aunts and uncles. He will be dearly missed.

YORK COUNTY Holy Spirit Parish (St. Martha Church, Kennebunk; St. Mary Church, Wells; All Saints Church, Ogunquit) will participate in a program that helps provide shoeboxes full of gifts to mission children in South America who have never received Christmas presents before. Participating in the “Box of Joy” initiative is simple. Fill a shoebox or shoeboxes with gifts and mark the box for a boy or a girl and the approximate age. Then, they simply drop off the box at St. Martha Church, 34 Portland Road, Kennebunk, or St. Mary Church, 236 Eldridge Road, Wells, by November 15. “By packing ‘Boxes of Joy’ with toys and other gifts, participants bless children suffering from extreme poverty by sharing the joy of Christmas and planting seeds of hope,” said Lisa White, one of the organizers of the project at Holy Spirit Parish. Boxes can be dropped off before and after Masses at St. Martha (Monday-Friday at 9 a.m., Saturday 4 p.m., Sunday at 8 a.m. and 10 a.m.) or St. Mary (Monday-Friday at 8 a.m., Saturday at 4 p.m., Sunday at 9 a.m. and 11 a.m.).

dropped off at the parish offices. “Participants are asked to enclose a $9 check in the gift boxes made out to ‘Cross Catholic Outreach’ to cover shipping costs,” said White. Thanks to Cross Catholic Outreach, all the boxes will be delivered to children in need living in Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, and Guatemala to spread joy and mercy at Christmas time.

Bernier-Gelinas FUNERAL HOME

Kittery, ME We are often asked by the families we serve, here at JS Pelkey & Son and Bernier Funeral Homes, why certain expressions and traditions exist in the funeral service industry. One of the most often asked questions is “Why send flowers to a memorial service or funeral, aren’t they just a waste of money?” Well nothing could be further from the truth. As my friend Todd Van Beck recently wrote in an article: Flowers are sent to funerals for several reasons. Flowers are a means of expression. It is often difficult for those mourning a death to put feelings into words. Flowers are a visual expression of love, sympathy, and respect. They are a way of lending support and sharing the burden of grief. In addition to sending flowers to the funeral, there is a growing trend to send flowers to the home of the bereaved after the service. Some people also send flowers to the church in memory of the deceased.

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

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

York’s Exclusive Golf And Tennis Club Once Knew Hard Times By Jim Fabiano We are now all hoping to be able to get through the pandemic by opening up our beaches, summer businesses, restaurants, amusement parks, and bars. One of the best parts of our summer is every now and then one can play a round of golf at one of the many gorgeous golf courses found in York. The other day a friend of mine asked if I could make up a foursome for a round at the York Golf And Tennis Club. I enjoyed the game but more than that it also gave me the impetus to look into the history of this oldest and most prestigious of local country clubs. The York Golf And Tennis Club began on August 30, 1900, when Thomas Nelson Page, a writer, lawyer, and civic leader convened a meeting of gentlemen interested in providing a new golf course in York. The schedule of dues for the first year shows just what a difference inflation has made over the course of a century. Back then it cost $20 for a family membership for the season for privileges exclusive of golf. $15 for a single membership, $10 for a one-month membership, and $5 for a single membership for two weeks. Every additional person cost $5 with a .50 cents charge per day for each guest playing golf. On August 2, 1901, membership was reported at 184, 150 of whom were golfers. Familyseason memberships made up

138 of the total. By 1902 the York Country Club was one of the few clubs in the country to boast an 18 hole course. By 1912 the club was well established as a summer resort and its membership included members from all over the United States. Two of its more prominent members back then were Finley Peter Dunn of Chicago, a journalist and author, and The Reverend Philo Woodruff Sprague of Charlestown who was a scholar in Latin, Greek, and Hebrew. The end of World War I brought even more prosperity for the club. Membership figures broke all records and by 1920 income had reached a new high of $16,000. Prosperity brought in change in the form of improvements and expansion to the club and a redesign of the entire golf course, which opened anew on June 13, 1927. This period of prosperity came to a sudden halt with the arrival of the Great Depression in 1929 and by 1933 membership was declining rapidly and the future of the club seemed bleak. From 1935 to 1940 the sparse membership meant there were no funds for maintenance. The buildings became shabby, the clubhouse was virtually abandoned, most of the tennis courts were deserted and weeds ravaged the once manicured lawns. The Second World War did not bring any relief. All summer resorts were struggling and wartime restrictions virtually eliminated any hope that the

Golf And Tennis Club would be restored to its previous grandeur. A predicted post-war revival never materialized and in 1946 and 1947, many house lots were sold from the club’s property to provide for necessary funds. The 1950’s started with a bang, literally and figuratively. A violent thunderstorm left the buildings untouched but destroyed many of the stately old pines that gave the club grounds so much of its glamour. The club managed by selling the damaged trees to Chester Abbott for $750. It wasn’t until 1952 the club saw a return of the kind of prosperity it had enjoyed in the 1920’s. The name William Wilson helped, in part. Wilson was the club’s first golf professional in 1902, and among the luminaries he taught back then were Samuel Clemens, alias Mark Twain, and Thomas Nelson Page who was United States Ambassador to Italy during World War I. The re-dedication of the course as The William Wilson Golf Course brought new attention to the club and in 1954 vice president Richard Nixon accepted an invitation to play. It is said that he arrived with a single state policeman and several club members who lived nearby were quickly rounded up to join him in a game. From 1960 to the present, the York Golf And Tennis Club has enjoyed continued prosperity so that it is difficult to imagine the hard times it endured through the Depression and the wartime years. Today, York Golf and Tennis Club boast a membership of over 650 members. There are approximately 100 people waiting to become full time members. The approximate time before the last person on the

Time, and of course, how we all will survive the present dangers we all accept but can’t see. Jim Fabiano is a retired teacher and writer living in York.

Recent update: The York Country Club has sold its 186acre property and all of its holdings to the York Golf and Tennis Club, giving them a permanent home. As an essential part of this transaction, the Country Club shareholders chose, and the York Golf and Tennis Club agreed, to permanently conserve 174 acres to ensure that it remains undeveloped and accessible to the community for golf, tennis, and other recreational activities.
