Shores Church of Wells recently raised support for hurricane relief efforts in Asheville, NC, by donating a fully stocked van filled with essential supplies to assist those in need. The relief effort is focused on the hard-toreach, heavily impacted mountain communities surrounding Asheville.”
The donated vehicle, filled with baby supplies, pet food, warm clothes, nonperishables, and basic medical aid, represented a collaborative effort between the Shores Church community, local businesses, and other churches. The WellsOgunquit Center at Moody served as a drop-off location for
supplies on Sundays.
“We had a local business owner ask if his 12-passenger work van could be used by a church or organization down in Asheville. After a few phone calls, we got in touch with a pastor who is organizing an effort that is impacting thousands of people in the mountains around Asheville. When they heard that
a donated van was coming their way, they knew immediately how it could be used,” said Shores Church pastor Courtland Holloway, adding, “You can’t send a van down empty, so we decided to fill it!”
The church would like to extend special thanks to the following who were a part of filling the van with supplies: Shores
Church, Wells; Wells Ogunquit Center at Moody, Wells; Lighthouse Church of the Nazarene, Wells; Pet Supplies, Sanford; an anonymous local community organization donation of medical supplies; members of the Wells community.
The vehicle departed from Wells on Tuesday, October 22, and arrived in Asheville on Wednesday, October 23, where it was received by Emmanuel Lutheran Church.
In addition, First Parish Church of York is currently assisting three North Carolina churches and their surrounding communities with hurricane relief efforts. The parish hopes the public will join in helping
with this disaster relief effort. Interested parties may contribute financially or by donating canned goods and adult backpacks. Financial assistance to two of the churches may be made at the following web addresses: First Congregational United Church of Christ of Asheville: www.uccasheville.org. On the memo line, please write, “Hurricane relief from York, Maine.” Boone United Methodist Church: www.booneumc.org. On the memo line, please write, “Hurricane relief from York, Maine.”

Maine Hunters Deliver Meals through Game Meat Donations
STATEWIDE -
As Maine’s Expanded Archery hunting season continues, with key dates like Maine Resident Only Day on Saturday, November 2, and the start of firearm season on Monday, November 4, the Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry’s (DACF) Hunters for the Hungry program is working to tackle food insecurity with the help of generous hunters across the state. This unique program transforms game meat donations into thousands of nutritious meals for Maine’s most vulnerable populations.
A single deer can provide
meals for up to 200 people, underscoring the significant impact each donation has on local communities. With hunger affecting more Maine residents yearly, the program is a lifeline for many.
The program accepts donations of bear, deer, and moose, allowing hunters to contribute to the fight against food insecurity in Maine without incurring processing costs, which are covered by the Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry or the receiving charity. Hunters can easily donate their game by contacting an approved processor in advance, and they may choose to donate a portion of their meat even if they keep
the rest. This initiative not only fosters a sense of community spirit but also significantly impacts the lives of families in need, demonstrating that even a small contribution can make a difference.
Under the leadership of Gus Nelson, Director of The Emergency Food Assistance Program, and Nathan Lord, Maine Ending Hunger Corps Member, the Hunters for the Hungry initiative has grown. This season,
four new processors have joined the network, bringing the total to 25 licensed processors across the state, with more expected to join in the coming months. These partners ensure the meat is safely prepared and distributed efficiently to food pantries, shelters, and community kitchens.
“This program allows hunters to give back in a meaningful way, turning their harvest into life-saving meals for neighbors in need,” said Nelson. “With more processors on board, we can reach even more communities.” For more information on how to participate or donate, visit https://tinyurl.com/ HuntersForHungry.

Patriots of Color Database Now on 10 Million Names Website
WASHINGTON, DC -
The Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) has announced that its Patriots of Color Database is now accessible through the 10 Million Names initiative by American Ancestors, a nonprofit organization dedicated to genealogy and family history research. This collaboration offers a valuable, free resource for researching lineage and genealogy related to Black, Native American, and multiracial Patriots who significantly contributed to the founding of the United States.
The Patriots of Color Database, which originally launched in 2021 on DAR’s Genealogical Research System website, includes over 6,000 names of individuals of African, Native American, Iberian, and Latin
American descent who served in or supported the American Revolution. This initiative is a crucial step toward creating a comprehensive repository of information about the estimated ten million people of African descent who were enslaved in America before 1865.
The inclusion of the Patriots of Color Database in the 10 Million Names project enhances accessibility to the life details of these individuals, facilitating cross-referencing with other names in the initiative. While the database is now available on 10 Million Names, it will also continue to be hosted on the DAR website, which focuses on helping users identify Revolutionary War service for their ancestors.
“Tracing lineages and celebrating all Patriots who con-

tributed to the founding of our country are key connecting points for DAR members across the world,” said Pamela Wright, DAR president general. “We are delighted to help others do the same through this collaboration.”
The DAR E Pluribus Unum Educational Initiative, launched in 2020, aims to raise awareness of underrepresented Revolutionary War Patriots. “Thousands of people of African and Native descent fought in the American Revolution, though their stories are not widely known,” noted Cynthia Evans, research director for 10 Million Names. “The information in the DAR Patriots of Color Database illuminates our real history and counters the long-held misconception of an entirely white fighting force.”
Researchers can search the database by various criteria, including name, date of birth, military service, and more. Individuals with documented Revolutionary War service from diverse backgrounds are categorized as Patriots of Color.
“Sharing these names and stories with a wider audience is vital to our mission of ensuring that all Patriots, regardless of race or gender, are remembered for their contributions,” said Wright. The DAR encourages individuals who can trace their ancestry back to these brave Pa-

“It’s been a pleasure to know Mark over the years. He is always great company, whether warmly welcoming friends to his home or meeting out and about exploring the many shops and restaurants local to Eliot, Kittery, and South Berwick. He is an avid small business supporter, a champion of common sense, and has a savvy ability to simplify complex problems into intuitive solutions. With a rich and diverse experience in life and business, Mark is quick to offer a friendly, reliable, and relatable perspective on everything from good investments to rebuilding a carburetor. Mark is not a community member who is looking to change things just to suit his own ways - he’s the first to learn about a variety of ideas and perspectives, and I’m confident his seat on the legislature would be sensible, responsible, and inclusive for all in District 150.” - Mike Briskie, Seacoast
“Mark is not only my neighbor, but I am honored to also call him a friend. One of the unique skills that Mark brings to the position, is his desire to bridge the polarized gap that monopolizes our current political culture. He has invaluable experience in dealing with people, and with tough negotiations. He is man of integrity, and this transcends the boundaries of task or position. So many people talk about wanting change yet may not be aware of what strengths each candidate brings to the office. Mark is a ‘get it done’ guy, and he does so with honesty and integrity. The future of our state is dependent upon our representatives, and his vision of our Future is solid and sensible.” - Dr. Beth A. Reddy, District 150
“Mark is hardworking, inventive, and honest. He’ll fight to make the district better for all residents.” - Nate Durika, South Berwick
“It doesn’t matter which party you are, I know Mark will make the best choices. He’ll work to bring about tangible change.” - Michael Turner, Seacoast, Senior Intelligence Liaison
“Congratulations on finding the courage to enter the race, Mark! I am sure you will make a great contribution!” - Urs Benzinger, Winterthur Switzerland

If you are a SENIOR, do you know who voted to eliminate the STABILIZATION program? A program that kept your taxes at current levels?
These are your representatives (from York County) that voted to terminate the STABILIZATION PROGRAM: SENIORS, please vote against those voting against YOU!
If you are a family with children in school, who do you think pays a bulk of the school budget? SENIORS DO!
Don’t push the seniors out with higher and higher property taxes – keep them here!
The tax burden for families will increase proportionately to the number of seniors leaving!
The relief that was passed as a replacement is so inadequate, it’s insulting!
It is in everyone’s best interest, financially, to keep our seniors here and paying towards our community!

“Capturing Maine” at YPL
YORKYork Public Library’s (YPL) November and December art exhibit, “Capturing Maine,” will feature the work of painters Rozanna Patane and Martha Hesse, and sculptor Lewis Woodaman. The show will be on display Friday, November 1 through Friday, December 27, with an artists reception on Tuesday, November 12, from 5 to 7 p.m.
The three artists have over a half century of combined years in York. They each love the nat-
ural world and all that Maine has to offer, a love that is directly reflected in their artwork. Rozanna Patane paints with both acrylics and oils and enjoys sketching as well. Although she attended the Art Institute of Boston, she took time off to raise her daughter and pursue a career in finance. Rozanna has since returned to painting and is currently building a studio in her home in York. In her own words: “I grew up in Maine so, of course, the natural world has always infused my work. I’m especially interested in the elusive intersection of nature’s beauty and the abstract form in painting. Recently I have focused on how color and light unfold in the natural forms we’re lucky enough to see
around us every day.”
Martha Hesse paints with both oils and pastels. After attending the Rhode Island School of Design, she spent over 25 years as an art director in Denver and Miami. Although Martha has always been interested in painting, it was not until she moved to York 20 years ago that she pursued it seriously, inspired by the beauty surrounding her. In her own words: “Painting gives me a feeling of personal expression. I love the whole process, from composing the image and mixing the right color to ensuring my brushstroke conveys the right feel for what I am seeing. I started experimenting with pastels and found them to be fun and evocative in a different way than oils.”
Lewis Woodaman is a sculptor who began carving as a boy growing up on Lake Winnipesaukee (sculpture pictured above). He majored in botany in college but spent much of his time in the art department. After moving to Maine in the early 1970s, he took full advantage of the abundant wood and stone around him. From cutting down the tree to the finished product, Lewis employs hammer, chisel, and sandpaper to reveal the form that lives inside. In his own words: “Anything that’s three dimensional, you have to deal with the space around it and create a positive and negative space at the same time. I don’t know what’s behind my pieces. I guess it’s hard to describe it. If I could, I’d be a poet.”
KENNEBUNKThe Brick Store Museum is proud to partner with Kennebunk High School (KHS) visual arts students to exhibit their work in a special project starting Friday, November 8.
A new exhibition will open in the museum’s Patsy Bauman Gallery, featuring perspectives of historic Kennebunk through the photography of visual art students.

Legacy Letters Workshop at FCC
KENNEBUNKPORT -
On Saturday, November 9 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., Kennebunk’s First Congregational Church will be offering a workshop on legacy letters. The church’s Outreach Director, Tina Civetta, will explain the time-honored history and values connected with these extraordinary documents, and the associated oral traditions that date back to biblical times.
A legacy letter is a personal document that shares a person’s values, life lessons, and wisdom with loved ones. It can be a way to reflect on life experiences, express gratitude, and provide guidance for the future. Legacy letters are also known as ethical wills or legacy statements. Legacy letters are different from a last will and testament, which distributes assets; instead, they are a way to share a person’s values and beliefs, and can be shared with loved ones before or after death.
In recent years, the interest and popularity of legacy letters has soared, especially as they are intended as living bonds among family members who wish to preserve their lineage, family history, and life experiences for future generations. Creating one is a profoundly personal exercise and can be equally profound for those fortunate to be on the receiving end. These letters can take many forms:
from handwritten documents on high-quality paper to more formally expressed thoughts in hard-bound notebooks or even in a video.
Legacy letters have also emerged as a therapeutic tool to strengthen ties between generations. They often result in written documents expressing values, experiences, and hardearned life lessons, as well as intergenerational conversations that can convey hope, explanation, forgiveness, and gratitude for lives well led.
The process of writing a legacy letter can be positive and healing, as well as fun and creative. Legacy letters present opportunities for self-examination and can enhance psychological, spiritual, and physical health.
The workshop offered at First Congregational will explore creative approaches to legacy letters, as well as offer advice on how they can serve as intergenerational touchstones and anchors. According to Tina, “Letters are as unique as each author, and can be deeply satisfying, enriching, and rewarding to write. The process of writing has proven cathartic, especially when confirming important events, struggles and triumphs in our lives. Many include photos, quotes and even family recipes!”
This workshop is open to the public and community. A $5 donation is appreciated. Because

Preparing for Extreme Weather
The American Red Cross of Northern New England is encouraging everyone to take critical actions this season to be ready for worsening disasters. Deadly storms and floods, raging fires and extreme heat are becoming more frequent and intense due to the climate crisis and families are experiencing the effects.
“Disasters can happen at any time, often without warning, changing lives forever in just minutes,” said John Montes, Red Cross regional disaster officer. “As our climate changes, it’s critical to help protect your loved ones and now is the ideal time to get your household ready for emergencies.”
Make a plan to reconnect with loved ones if separated or if the phone or internet is down. Write down important phone numbers on a contact card and carry it at all times.
Prepare for potential disasters by making a plan to stay safe, gathering important supplies, and knowing how to stay connected. Follow these steps to prepare for emergencies:
vided over 600 meals, and distributed more than 800 disaster relief supplies to those in need.
Finally, download the free Red Cross Emergency app for real-time weather alerts and expert advice in both English and Spanish. And don’t forget to sign up for free emergency alerts from your local government to get critical information during local emergencies.
This year, the United States has already experienced unprecedented hurricanes and wildfires.
The day school is in Portsmouth and is the only school in New Hampshire that exclusively serves autistic children and youth. The scope of The Birchtree Center’s services also extends beyond the seacoast city, as they offer in-person services in Southern New Hampshire, Southern Maine, and Northern Massachusetts. Their outreach programs, which include behavior consultation for families, are available for ages three and up.
“The best defense during an emergency is to be prepared, and that’s true for both our individual families and our entire community,” said Montes. “Consider donating to help people affected by disasters big and small, or making an appointment to give blood. If you have the time, take a first aid class or put on a red vest and join us as a volunteer.”
The American Red Cross shelters, feeds, and provides comfort to victims of disasters; supplies about 40% of the nation’s blood; teaches skills that save lives; distributes international humanitarian aid; and supports veterans, military members, and their families. The Red Cross is a nonprofit organization that depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to deliver its mission.
Depending on the emergency, it may be necessary to stay in place or relocate to a safer location. If evacuation is required, consider potential destinations, transportation options, accommodations, and essential items to bring along. Planning in advance is crucial, especially if assistance is needed for departure or if public transportation will be utilized.
Next, gather and organize critical supplies, such as food, water, and medicine, into a go-kit and a stay-at-home kit. The go-kit should include three days of supplies that can be taken along. The stay-at-home kit should have two weeks of food and water and a onemonth supply of medications, if possible.
In July, Hurricane Beryl broke records as the earliest Category 5 storm ever recorded, and in early August, Hurricane Debby brought widespread flooding to much of the East Coast. So far in 2024, 2.7 million more acres of land have burned in wildfires compared to all of 2023. Additionally, 2024 is on track to be the hottest year on record, according to experts. Altogether in 2024, the U.S. has experienced 19 climate disasters, each with losses of over $1 billion—more than double the average from the last 40 years.
Customize the kit to meet the household’s specific needs. For those with young children, include extra formula and diapers. For households with pets, include leashes, carriers, food, bowls, litter, and a litter box.
For more information, visit www.redcross.org, or follow on social media.
“I visited their Learning Center last year. I had the privilege of understanding how patient the educators are each and every day in coping with special needs students with autism and helping them to be independent in their school and in the community. It takes a special person to teach the students how to adapt and live in the real world,” said Miller, adding, “Last year, I personally contributed and delivered two trays of food to their students’ Thanksgiving Feast. It was such a great feeling to see the happy faces enjoying a meal.”
This is the second year that Partners Bank has supported the Benefit for Learning Auction with a generous donation. This cause resonates with Laila Miller, market manager for the

AWS to Offer Free Microchips, Rabies Vaccines Caleb’s Opus Rescue
KENNEBUNK -
From 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Saturday, November 2, the Animal Welfare Society’s (AWS) Community Veterinary Clinic will be offering free microchips and rabies vaccines for area dogs and cats. AWS encourages all pet families in the community to microchip their pets and to keep them up-to-date with their rabies vaccinations.
“Microchips are small devices, about the size of a grain of rice, that a veterinarian inserts under the pet’s skin near their shoulder blades,” explains Abigail Smith, AWS Executive Director. “It’s a painless procedure that takes only a few minutes. AWS’ Community Veterinary Clinic offers microchip insertion during wellness appointments or procedures, including spay/ neuter surgeries. Additionally, all AWS dogs and cats are microchipped prior to adoption.”
A microchip is an important tool for pet identification if a pet gets lost or runs away. Local animal shelters, including AWS, most veterinarians, and many police departments have special microchip scanners for use when an unidentified lost or stray pet comes into their facil-

ity. If a chip is found, the pet’s owner’s contact information will appear, hastening a happy reunion. A recent study indicates that a microchipped dog is three times more likely to be reunited with its owner than one without a chip. For cats, which rarely wear collars and tags and often spend more time outdoors, the figure is staggering: microchipped cats are 20 times more likely to be returned to their families than those without a microchip.
The Microchip and Rabies Vaccine Clinic is open to the public at no cost. Dogs and cats over 12 weeks of age can receive a microchip, a rabies vaccine, or both. To receive a three-year rabies vaccine, pet owners must bring the pet’s previous rabies certificate or records from a vet. Otherwise, the pet will receive a one-year vaccine.
While there is no cost for microchips or rabies vaccines, donations are welcome and will go directly to support AWS’ mission of providing for pets and
their families. More than 10,000 pets come through AWS and its on-site Community Veterinary Clinic each year.
Founded in 1967, the Animal Welfare Society (AWS) is a nonprofit organization that serves as a safety net for lost and homeless pets while providing access to affordable services and resources necessary for their long-term well-being. This ensures that pets and their families stay together and thrive. AWS’s on-site Community Veterinary Clinic, built in 2017, offers fullservice, high-quality veterinary care to companion animals in the community.
Animal Welfare Society is located at 46 Holland Road in Kennebunk. For more information and to reserve a spot, visit https://animalwelfaresociety. org/event/microchip-rabiesvaccine-clinic-1124. Attendees can choose a time slot, as well as which services their pets will need. Drop-ins are welcome on the day of the event, as supplies last.

The Truth Behind Food Expiration Dates
NATIONWIDE -
Food labels on grocery store products often seem confusing and inconsistent, making it feel like each one uses a different language. Some shoppers see a “best by” date and mistakenly think the food is no longer safe to eat, when in fact the label indicates the item’s peak quality rather than an expiration.
This confusion can lead to significantly more food being discarded than necessary. In fact, the USDA estimates that

about 30% of the food supply in the United States is either lost or wasted at both the retail and consumer levels. Much of this food ends up in landfills, where it decomposes and releases methane and other greenhouse gases, contributing to climate change.
With the exception of baby food and prepackaged sandwiches, date labels are not regulated. They are set by food manufacturers to ensure products move through store shelves. These labels do not indicate food safety; rather, they relate to food quality.
There are two types of product dating: open dating and closed dating. Open dating indicates the estimated period during which a food product will be at its best quality, as well as how long stores should sell it. Most foods, including meat, poultry, eggs, and dairy products, use open dating. Closed dating is primarily used on shelf-stable products packaged in cans and boxes. Items labeled with closed dating are typically non-perishables with a much longer shelf life. Federal regulations do not require product dating, except for infant formula. Under the jurisdiction of the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), dates may be applied voluntarily, provided they are truthful and not misleading. To comply with these requirements, the date must include a day and month (and a year for frozen or shelfstable products) along with an explanatory phrase such as “best if used by.”
These dates are not indica-
Eco-Friendly Ideas for PostHalloween Pumpkin Disposal
STATEWIDE
They came, they carved, they conquered Halloween. Now, what to do with those pumpkins, gourds, and apples? According to the U.S. Department of Energy, 1.3 billion pounds of pumpkin end up in landfills across the country each year.
Organic waste like pumpkins, apples and gourds does not properly break down in oxygendeprived landfills. Instead, the decomposition process generates methane, a potent greenhouse gas, which ends up released into the atmosphere. As an alternative to adding to landfill waste, here are some eco-friendly ideas to help one get rid of this year’s jack-o-lanterns.
Compost at the Kittery Resource Recovery Facility (KRRF). Residents can sustainably dispose of post-Halloween pumpkins, gourds, and apples by bringing them to the KRRF compost pile during Hazardous Waste hours. This section of
tors of the product’s safety – they are applied by manufacturers. They factor in the length of time and temperature at which the food item was held during distribution and offered for sale, the characteristics of the food, and the type of packaging it is stored in. This date is displayed to help consumers decide when the food will be at its best quality.
After the product date
the facility is open Wednesdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturdays from 7:15 a.m. to 2:15 p.m.
Disposal in the compost pile is free for Kittery residents with a valid KRRF sticker. Residents of nearby towns can contact their local waste disposal facility to find out if they can participate in a composting program.
Repurpose or compost pumpkins at home. For those with uncarved, still-fresh pumpkins, consider using them in the kitchen for soups, purees, or mashes. Pumpkins can also be transformed into fall decor by slicing them in half to create bird feeders or planters.
Add pumpkins to the compost pile or garden at home. Gardeners should remove any seeds and decorative materials like glitter, paint, stickers, and candle wax before composting. Slicing the pumpkin into smaller pieces and burying them in the pile helps speed up decomposition.
For those who live near the
passes, its overall quality may lessen, but it should still be safe to consume if handled as instructed. Use the “smell test” when consuming a product past the displayed date. If there are no signs of spoilage, these foods can be sold, donated, purchased, and consumed beyond the date if they are handled and stored properly.

“Best if used by” or “best before” indicates when a product will be at its best quality. The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) recommends this phrase to avoid consumer confusion. “Sell by” tells stores how long to display the product for inventory management; it is not related to safety. “Use by” is the last date recommended for peak quality. It is not a safety date unless it appears on infant formula or, in New Hampshire, prepackaged sandwiches. “Freeze by” indicates when a product should be frozen to maintain peak quality – it is not a purchase or safety date.
Eleanor Buraczynski, 101
WEL LS – Eleanor (Carleton) Buraczynski, a loving mother, grandmother, and greatgrandmother, passed away peacefully on October 19, 2024, at the age of 101. Born in Mont Vernon, NH, on June 15, 1923, Eleanor lived a full and rich life, defined by her kindness, strength, and commitment to others.
During World War II, she answered the call to serve as an Army nurse, caring for wounded soldiers with a steady hand and a compassionate heart. After the war, Eleanor continued her nursing career, a vocation she loved, until the age of 70. Her patients and colleagues cherished her for her gentle touch and dedication.
Eleanor was married to Walter Buraczynski, the love of her life, with whom she built a home filled with warmth, laughter, and love. Together, they raised two daughters, Karen and Patricia. Karen (deceased) married Vincent Canzanello and Patricia married James Frisone. Eleanor’s family was always her greatest joy and source of pride.
She was an adoring grandmother to five grandchildren: Andrew Canzanello, Eric Canzanello, Nick Canzanello, Anya Thompson, and Daniel Colanton (deceased), and a cherished great-grandmother to eight great-grandchildren. They will always remember her as the gentle, wise, and caring woman who was the heart of their family.
After retiring, Eleanor moved to Wells, where she spent her later years surrounded by the beauty of the ocean and the peace of a slower pace of life. She found joy in simple things, long walks, a good book, and time spent with loved ones.
Eleanor’s life was one of quiet strength and unwavering love. She touched the lives of many, and her legacy of kindness and care will live on in the hearts of all who knew her. She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered. A graveside service will

Marianne Quinn, 75
YORK – Marianne Quinn passed away on Tuesday, October 1, 2024, surrounded by her immediate family. Born on February 21, 1949 in Bristol, CT to the late Stanley and Mary (Ryznar) Mlynarski, Marianne graduated from Bristol Eastern High School in 1967 and later from the University of New Hampshire with a degree in Fine Arts.
Marianne loved creating art. She was a graphic designer for much of her life, and her work is still represented in many businesses in the area. Each year as Christmas approached, Marianne would seek inspiration in the beauty of the natural world around her to create a unique piece of silkscreened art, which she gifted as her Christmas card. She always included a beautiful note inside to remind one of her thoughtful love.
Family was at the forefront of Marianne’s life; she loved being a wife, mother and grandmother. In 1970, Marianne married Peter Quinn. They moved to Maine with their first child, Erin, in 1982, the same year they welcomed their son, John.
Marianne and Peter embraced all Maine had to offer, from boating to skiing. When they were not adventuring, Marianne loved to be in her gardens or cooking in the kitchen. She savored life and shared her joy and delight with her loved ones and her community freely.
Marianne was co-director of the York Community Food Pantry in its infancy. She quickly got to work organizing the program to make it more efficient. She designed a logo and cre-
ated note cards to thank all the donors. Through her leadership, the food pantry grew its outreach and remains a vital community resource to this day. For her efforts at the pantry, she was awarded Citizen of the Year in 2007 and 2008. After eight years as co-director, Marianne stepped down but continued to volunteer.
Marianne leaves behind her husband of 54 years, Peter Quinn; daughter Erin Graziano and her husband, Jon Graziano, of Hopkinton, MA; son John Quinn and his wife, Edie Davis Quinn, of Kittery; her grandchildren: Caitlin Graziano, Jack Graziano, Molly Graziano, Maya Davis-Quinn, and Margot Davis-Quinn; and sister
Eleanor Payton and her husband, Michael Payton, of Southington, CT. She also leaves behind her beloved Quinn siblings through marriage.
Marianne’s beautiful soul and generous spirit will be greatly missed by all. She was the source of great comfort and a deep love for all who knew her. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the York Community Service Association in honor of Marianne’s generosity and kind heart.
A funeral Mass will be celebrated on Saturday, November 16 at St. Christopher’s Church in York. Visit www.lucaseatonfuneralhome.com for online condolences.

Berwick Academy 2
Proctor Academy 0
Stepping onto the turf on a beautiful fall day for the last home game of their high school careers, Berwick Academy seniors Eliza Small (Portsmouth, NH), Juliette Lohnes (Berwick), Willow Turkel (Rye, NH), and Neomi Groth (Portsmouth, NH) were recognized and celebrated by their team in their Senior Game on Wednesday.
The Bulldogs worked together as a clearly unified team to add a win to their record, beating the Proctor Academy Hornets 2-0, making it Berwick’s 8th shutout of the season.
The Bulldogs had a 5-1 corner kick advantage over the Hornets, and they had a few solid opportunities off of these corner kicks.
Fifteen minutes into
the game, Sophia DeSimone (Dover, NH) took one of these corner kicks. Senior defender Small skillfully passed it back to DeSimone, who made a big cross, hitting it past the goal to the back post. The ball just barely went over defender Leila Beakes (Rollinsford, NH), and Emma Rich (Dover, NH) slammed it into the back of the net, scoring the Bulldogs’ first goal.
With two minutes left on the clock in the first half, Goalkeeper Alexa Garcia (Dover, NH) lofted the ball from the right side of the field. It arced beautifully downward, looking like it was going to go over the net, and landed in the goal, giving the Bulldogs their second goal.
During the second half of the game, the Bulldogs played mostly in their offensive half and kept the strong Proctor team at bay.
As of this game, the Bulldogs are 7-6-2 on the season.

On an unseasonably warm October afternoon, the Bulldogs traveled to Rhode Island and came home with a loss against Portsmouth Abbey. The teams played a pretty even match, even though the Ravens came up on top. The Portsmouth Abbey team had their first good chance 20 minutes in when one of their forwards took a shot that hit the side post but then they didn’t capitalize on the rebound. The Bulldogs fought some good battles and the score was 0-0 at the half. In the second half however, Portsmouth Abbey was able to add two goals to the scoreboard. The Bulldogs, despite coming off a long bus ride and being down two goals, still fought until the end.
As of this game, the Bulldogs are 7-7-2 on the season.

WMTW Recognizes Three-Sport Athlete and Scholar
WELLS
-
During a recent local television sports news story, Wells High School (WHS) senior Kendall Maxon said in the middle of a statement, “I like staying active,” which is an understatement for one who not only maintains a 4.0 accumulative grade point average, but is also the captain of three WHS teams: lacrosse, basketball, and soccer.
In late August, Maxon was honored with the distinction of WMTW Channel 8’s “ScholarAthlete of the Week.” She was nominated for this by her Lacrosse coach, Morgan Pike.
“Kendall is an amazing athlete, student, and young lady,” wrote Pike in an email. She was a phenomenal leader as a junior captain last season and helped lead the team to the state championship. Kendall is an athlete who embodies unselfishness and coaching ability. She leads by example, always putting the team’s success above her own, and her work ethic is unparalleled. Whether in practice or during the game, Kendall demonstrates commitment and dedication that inspires everyone around her.”
While visiting WHS, Channel 8 personnel filmed Maxon at Lacrosse practice. In an interview, she told reporter Travis Lee that Lacrosse is her favorite of the three sports she competes in. In Lacrosse, she plays “midfield” and “attack” positions.
Maxon indicated that her favorite subjects are math and science. “I’ve always been motivated to do my best in the classroom,” she told Lee. In high school thus far, she has completed six AP college classes and four online York County Community College (YCCC) classes. Once in college, she plans to continue playing Lacrosse and pursue a degree in Business, focusing on Marketing and Management.
Kendall is also interested in real estate and wants to obtain a real estate license this winter and work with her mother, a real estate agent. Kendall has an identical twin sister, Maren who also plays basketball.

After three weeks off, the WSC U9 boys had their final game of the season against Portsmouth City. WSC lost 62, but played hard until the end. Greyson Cabe scored and Ian Guilfoyle scored his first goal of the season. There were a lot of great passes from Greyson Cabe, Royce Thocher, Charlie Kartaszewicz, and Tucker Hill allowing Kiefer Lagasse, and Ian Campbell to drive the attack. Meanwhile, Ian Guilfoyle, Tucker Hill, Oliver Stearns, and Sully Laflin managed to foil many attempts to score by Portsmouth. Sully Laflin and Charlie Kartaszewicz played goalkeeper and stopped many shots on goal from inside and outside the penalty box.
The Warriors ended their season 2-4-1, but it was a great learning season and a first year of travel for most of these players. They are looking forward to more soccer in their future!

A strong defense led by Declan Maher, Charlotte Loughlin, Maddy Prybylo & Elsa Lawson with contributions from Liam Lombardi and others stifled the Portsmouth attack for much of the game. Brennan Lilly made 10 saves only allowing 1 goal on a high arching shot over his
head. The attack, led by Keller Finemore, Caleb Hinkel, Aiden Goodine, Blake Thibodeau, and Reese Collins, amongst others, controlled the play and produced many opportunities on net that narrowly failed to connect for a score. For more information: www.wellssoccerclub.org.
