Citizen’s Guide to the 2023 Maine Referendum Election Available STATEWIDE As Election Day nears on Tuesday, November 7, Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows is reminding all Maine voters of a resource that can help them make informed decisions at the polls: the 2023 Maine Citizen’s Guide to the Referendum Election. The guide, prepared by the Department of the Secretary of State in collaboration with the Office of the Attorney General and Office of Fiscal and Program Review, is an unbiased and nonpartisan review of the issues that voters will consider at the polls this year. “Maine voters are being asked to weigh in on a number of consequential questions this November,” said Secretar y Bellows. “This guide will help voters make their own decisions about how to vote with full, fair information about each ballot question. We encourage everyone to act now to learn about the upcoming referendum election and get ready to vote!” Voters will decide on four citizens’ initiatives and four constitutional amendments that will appear on the ballot. The questions are as follows: Question 1: Do you want to bar some quasi-governmental entities and all consumer-owned electric utilities from taking on more than $1 billion in debt unless they get statewide voter approval?

Eco-Friendly Ideas for Leftover Jack-O-Lanterns YORK COUNTY Halloween festivities may already be fading into memory, but those once-cheerful jack-olanterns and festive gourds that adorned the house still remain. The question arises: what to do with them? 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 eventually ends up released into the atmosphere. As an alternative to adding to landfill waste, here are some eco-friendly ideas to help get rid of this year’s jack-o-lantern. Compost it at the Kittery Resource Recovery Facility (KRRF). Residents looking

to dispose of post-Halloween pumpkins, gourds, and apples in a sustainable way, can bring them to the facility and add them to the compost pile during hazardous waste hours. This portion of KRRF’s facility is open on Wednesdays, 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. and Saturdays, 7:15 a.m. 2:15 p.m. On Saturday, November 4, the KRRF will observe extended operating hours and remain open until 4:15 p.m. The compost pile in the hazardous waste area is free to use with a valid KRRF sticker. Nonresidents may need to pay a small fee to use KRRF facilities; call ahead to check. Other local waste facilities may also offer this option. For those who have pumpkins that were never carved and are still in great condition, consider using them in the kitchen as part of a soup, puree or mash – check first to make sure the

pumpkin or gourd is edible. Pumpkins and gourds can also be sliced in half and turned into bird feeders or even decorative planters outside. Consider adding pumpkins to the compost pile at home. Gardeners can add pumpkins to their compost pile after removing any remaining seeds and being sure to cut off all decorative material such as glitter, paint, stickers and candle wax. Slice the pumpkin into smaller pieces, scatter and bury them

into the pile. Feed the animals. Consider donating to a local farm for animal feed. While individual animal tastes vary from farm to farm, most pigs, chickens, cattle, sheep and goats love pumpkins, gourds (squash, zucchini) and apples. Local farms currently accepting pumpkins are as follows: Sturgeon Creek Farm, 1651 State Road, Eliot, 603767-8545. Pumpkins, apples, squash and zucchini may be dropped off in a bin outside the farm store. No moldy or waxfilled items; Ingendahl Acres, 334 Hiltons Lane, Wells, 207432-9085. Pumpkins and gourds can be dropped off outside the farm stand. No moldy or waxfilled items. Whether baking, repurposing or composting, get creative and have fun finding new ways to reduce waste throughout the community!

Eliot’s Salt & Sand Project for Older Adults in the Community

ELIOT Eliot’s Salt & Sand Project is dedicated to assisting older adults living independently. This initiative aims to provide sand and salt to elder area residents to help maintain their walkways, reducing the risk of winter falls. This effort is a collaborative endeavor involving Eliot Fire Department’s Lieutenant Eric Ouellette and the highway department. To participate, residents in need can get in touch with Amanda Ouellette at Meals on Wheels, who will coordinate the delivery of the sand and salt to their homes. Once the request is received, the recipient’s address will be forwarded to the highway department responsible for filling the buckets, which will

then be delivered to the resident. Should the resident’s supply run low, they can call again to restart the process. Additionally, petsafe bags are available for those with furry companions. It is important to note that this project is for sand and salt delivery only, and does not include snow removal or shoveling services. However, Ouellette is more than willing to assist residents in finding resources for snow removal if needed. For more information, call 207-475-7399.

KENNEBUNK Community Harvest, a local nonprofit organization, will host its 25th Annual Thanksgiving Feast on Thursday, November 23, at St. Martha’s Church on Route 1 in Kennebunk. In 2022, volunteers prepared more than 560 Thanksgiving meals for individuals and families, including dozens of first responders working on the holiday. “Because of its success in reaching people all across Southern Maine, we will continue to

offer curbside pickup, and delivery options,” said Kerry de Bree, Community Harvest Executive Director. “Last year we were able to deliver meals to families in need from Westbrook all the way to Kittery, said Head Chef Mario Barros. “To help so many people and offer a delicious home cooked holiday meal continues to be our number one goal.” “We’re also looking for more volunteers to sign up and help prep, box up and deliver our

Transportation (MaineDOT) and the Maine Turnpike Authority (MTA), will begin testing the messaging components for the new dynamic part-time shoulder use (PTSU) system that was recently installed on I-95 between Portsmouth and Kittery. This system was developed to help relieve congestion during peak traffic times on the I-95 Piscataqua River Bridge between the two states. Testing began mid-morning on Wednesday, November 1. Daytime shoulder closures, both northbound and southbound, will occur intermittently over the next several weeks for

final system testing. Motorists will see the system’s messaging components – beacons and lane use signals – turn on and off at various times during testing. Message boards will be utilized to alert travelers about tests being performed. The shoulder lanes will remain closed to through traffic and should only be used for emergencies. A final press release will announce the date the system will become operational for motorists.

O ver t he past severa l months, New Hampshire and Maine have been installing several traffic control devices along the section of I-95 from New Hampshire’s Exit 5 to Maine’s Exit 3. There will also be warning signs with flashing beacons at the on-ramps approaching the system to alert merging traffic when the shoulder lane is open for travel and to use extra caution when merging into the highway.

~ Pets ~ Safe Holiday Driving with Furry Friends STATEWIDE With the holiday season in full swing, many are planning on embarking on road trips to celebrate the festivities. Whether holiday plans involve visits to national parks, sandy beaches, bustling cityscapes, or relatives far and near, travelers might be contemplating bringing their their beloved four-legged companions along for the ride. While many pet owners love taking their furry friend along for the adventure, dogs are not always safe passengers. A recent poll commissioned by Selective Insurance, a leading home, auto and business insurance carrier, found that in the past 12 months, dogs caused a majority of drivers to be distracted on U.S. roadways. T he st udy, conduc ted online by The Harris Poll, found that of licensed drivers who recently drove with their dogs,

91% admitted to interacting with them while driving, including interactions requiring the driver to take their hands off the wheel or eyes off the road, and 48% acknowledged that they are more distracted when their dog is in the vehicle than when it is not. “We love our dogs. However, some of their behaviors in the car, such as sitting on drivers’ laps, jumping between seats, or sticking their heads out the window, divert drivers’ attention from operating a vehicle,” said Scott Smith, vice president and director of Safety Management at Selective Insurance. “To help keep our roads safe, drivers need to minimize distractions. That means our beloved pet passengers should be restrained in the back seat, and if they need tending, drivers should first pull over to a safe place.” Some of the more hazardous behaviors that drivers

engaged in while recently on the road with their dog include giving them food, treats, or water (36%), taking a photo or video of their dog (27%) or holding them in place (23%) while driving. In addition, 40% of drivers who have ever driven with their dog confessed to various reckless driving behaviors as a direct result of having their dog in the vehicle, including swerving out of the lane (11%) and hard braking (13%). This holiday season, as drivers head out with their dog on journeys near and far, they can help minimize driving distractions in the vehicle with these tips from Selective Insurance: Have the dog ride in the back seat and consider using a partition between the front and back seats. Use a dog seatbelt, safety harness or anchored crate to prevent distractions and provide the

All kitties are tested, spayed and neutered, and up-to-date on their vaccinations. These sweet cats were rescued from an overcrowded shelter in Louisiana. For some reason, black cats and dogs are the last to get adopted in southern shelters. Emma’s Angels works with amazing people to get them out, and up to Maine for happy homes. Call Emma’s Angels to meet Domino, or the sisters. Emma’s Angels Rescue is an all-volunteer, foster-based organization in North Berwick. Needed at this time: wet cat food!

WELLS Sweet Colby stretches out a paw when anyone stops petting him. This young charmer is trying to make up for all the love he missed while he was a stray. This sweet fellow is adorable, healthy and deserves a loving, forever home. Colby is so handsome with his white shorthaired coat and buff trim! When Safe Haven volunteers brought Colby to the shelter, he was in rough shape, but with essential medical care and some time to adjust, he underwent a remarkable transformation into a lovable and affectionate boy that he is today. Today, he eagerly seeks attention and craves human companionship. Like most cats, Colby will need some time to settle in when he first moves into his new home, but he will quickly understand he is loved and wanted, and will readily join the family. Colby enjoys the company of gentle and attentive people, and having never had anyone fussing over him before, he is ready to soak it all in now. Colby is such

a sweet, vulnerable personality, it is difficult to imagine him outside fending for himself, and the volunteers at Safe Haven are so happy he is warm and safe. Colby is okay in a household with other kitties, as he already spends time in a multi-cat freeroaming room. Safe Haven also has two pairs of black kittens who are absolutely precious. They are full of personality and spunk and cannot get in enough bird-

animal with some protection in the event of an accident. A significant 70% of licensed drivers who recently drove with their dogs say their dogs were unrestrained in the vehicle. Yet, 82% of drivers who recently drove with their dogs agree that having an unrestrained dog in a moving vehicle can distract the driver. Not using a restraint is risky and could put the driver in violation of the law. Some states have animal restraint laws for watching from the shelter windows. These tykes are so friendly and sweet, and will add so much love and life to any home. The shelter would love to see all their kitties adopted before the holidays! Help Santa out and make magic happen for Colby, or any of the other kittens and cats here at Safe Haven. The shop is open seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., and is currently seeking volunteers to help with the upcoming busy holiday season. While shopping, check out the doll house accessory raff le, a great Christmas gift for the lucky winner. The bundle includes a variety of fun miniatures including deviled eggs, a photo album, Harry Potter books, and a pizza in its own box, all miniaturized to fit any doll house. The drawing is on Wednesday, December 6, and Safe Haven will be able to ship the prize to the winner, if necessary.

vehicles to help keep drivers safe and focused. However, only 24% of licensed drivers who recently drove with their dogs say they are familiar with such laws in their state, and 34% claim not to even know any laws existed. Plan ahead and identify rest stops along the route for travel breaks. If making an unplanned stop, avoid the side of the road and instead look for a quiet parking lot. Use these occasions to give the dog food, a little exercise and water. “More pets in homes, especially with the introduction of the pandemic puppy, means more Americans than ever may be hitting the roads with their pooch on road trips this summer. Drivers should understand the risks associated with taking them along for the ride,” said Smith. For more information, visit www.selective.com. Article content provided by MetroCreative.

New Tech Hub for Maine

STATEWIDE Maine will soon be home to one of the nation’s first tech hubs. The Forest Bioproducts Advanced Manufacturing Tech Hub, led by the Maine Technology Institute, was designated as one of 31 tech hubs in regions across the country, authorized by the CHIPS and Science Act. The Tech Hubs program is an economic development initiative designed to drive regional innovation and job creation by strengthening a region’s capacity to manufacture, commercialize, and deploy technology. The Forest Bioproducts Advanced Manufacturing Tech Hub, based in Brunswick, seeks to accelerate development and deployment of innovative, climate-forward products derived from forests and other natural sources that can displace plastics, sequester carbon, and replace toxic chemicals, while bolstering U.S. supply chain resilience. “When the CHIPS and Science Act passed last Congress, we sent a message to the world that America values domestic innovation and manufacturing. That message is being realized as... tech hubs across the nation strengthen economic opportunity in our communities and work towards a more sustainable supply chain,”

said Congresswoman Chellie Pingree, in a recent statement. “As the most forested state in the nation, Maine’s centuriesold forest products industry is a critically important part of our state’s economy and way of life. This industry is prime for the exponential growth and innovation the Biden Administration’s Tech Hubs program epitomizes. I am thrilled to see the Biden Administration invest in this critical work in Maine and recognize the immense potential for the forest bioproducts industry to be a key part of the climate solution.” “Our Tech Hubs Program is fundamental to that mission and will supercharge innovation across the nation by spurring cutting-edge technological investments and creating 21st century job opportunities in people’s backyards,” said U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo. “Each of these consortia will help us ensure the industries of the future – and their good-paying jobs – start, grow, and remain in the United States.” The Phase 1 winners were selected from nearly 400 applications from regional consortia that include industry, academia, state and local governments, economic development organiza-

$24K for Area Technical Schools

STATEWIDE Deering Lumber, a distributor of specialty building products in southern Maine, raised tions, and labor and workforce partners. As part of the Tech Hubs competition, each consortium outlined plans for strengthening its region’s capacity to manufacture, commercialize, and deploy critical technologies. For more information, visit www.techhubs.gov.

$24,000 for two local technical high schools through the eighth edition of its charity golf tournament, recently held at the Sanford Country Club in Sanford. Funds raised at the event were distributed equally between Biddeford Regional Center of Technology and the Sanford Regional Technical Center in support of their building trades programs. “We are proud to support these innovative building trades programs, both of which are

developing the next generation of contractors and construction professionals in our area,” said Dave Chapais, Purchasing Manager and one of the organizers of the charity golf event. “It’s a win-win for everyone in our community that these teens have the resources they need to get great educations and prepare for their future careers.” Deering customers, vendor partners, and associates all came together for a day filled with networking and to support this worthwhile cause. Long-time outside salesman Dan Laskey was the driving force behind the event, along with other associates, family and friends. The event capped off with an evening of food, drink, awards and raffle prizes. “It was a great day of fun, fundraising and networking,” said Heidi McDonald, President and General Manager of Deering Lumber. “Thanks to the generous support of our Vendors, local contractors and Deering Lumber associates, we were able to again exceed our previous year’s fundraising total. We look forward to continuing to grow our fundraising efforts in the coming years.” For more information, visit www.deeringlumber.com.

Online Gamers Suffer from Insomnia, Study Finds STATEWIDE In today’s digital era, online gaming has emerged as a force to be reckoned with. Going beyond the sheer fun and entertainment of games like Solitaire, gaming is a platform that harnesses an array of benefits for its enthusiasts, including cognitive development, and more importantly-combatting loneliness: in a world where social isolation is becoming increasingly prevalent, online gaming offers a unique refuge. However, every rose has its thorn. The engrossing nature of online gaming can sometimes be its Achilles’ heel. Gamers, captivated by the virtual realms, often find themselves lost in gameplay, stretching sessions well into the early hours. This dedication, while commendable, has given rise to concerns about insomnia

induced specifically by extended gaming hours. The website Online-Solitaire.com recently commissioned a study to find out how online gamers are affected by insomnia. They ran a nationwide survey and then combined these results from official data from County Health Rankings to reveal where America’s most sleep deprived gamers reside. The study found that online gamers in Virginia are the most affected by insomnia, where 30% reported this to be the case. On a more localized scale, OnlineSolitaire.com was able to identify the most sleep deprived online gamers within each state. For example, the town of Eutaw, AL, with a population of 2,800, may not be particularly well known nationwide, but it placed first in

the country overall for online gamers with a sleep problem. 968 “Eutawnians” are self-confessed sleep-deprived gamers, representing 35% of all gamers living there. Similarly, one would have expected that San Francisco would be number one in the state of California for online gamers with insomnia. The city is, after all, home to a significant number of tech companies and startups, and is also home to companies like Electronic Arts and Zynga. However, the top spot for online gaming insomnia belongs to far further south in San Bernardino. Here there are 59,415 gamers who do not get enough sleep, representing 27.4% of the local population.

In Memoriam: Lewiston

Janet Louise Strobel, 83

Kenneth C. Mayberry, 87

Joseph M. Tringali, Jr., 86

WELLS – Janet Louise Strobel, 83, of Wells, passed away peacefully in her sleep on Thursday, October 26, 2023. She was born August 13, 1940 in Lawrence, MA, to Carl and Ruth (Beattie) Gilchrist. Janet graduated from Lawrence High School in 1958. It was there that she met the love of her life, Kenneth Strobel. The couple married December 19, 1959 and remained married until her passing. She went on to earn her Licensed Practicing Nurse (LPN) certification. She was a LPN her entire working career, only taking a hiatus to raise her family. Janet truly lived a caregiver’s lifestyle. When not working as an LPN, she would do anything for anyone. She never put herself first. She was even a caregiver for her mother, motherin-law, and most recently for her son. She treasured her time at “the beach house” in Wells for over 50 years, where she enjoyed her family and friends. She loved to spend her free time boating and fishing for whatever fish were in the water that day. She was active at the South Congregational Church in Lawrence. Janet was preceded in death by her parents, Carl and Ruth Gilchrist, and son Richard Carl Strobel (2021). She is survived by her husband of 63 years, Kenneth Strobel of Wells; daughters, Kendra Strobel of Andover, MA, and Deborah Messineo and her partner Gary Perusse of Methuen, MA; and grandchildren, Travis Messineo, Tyler Messineo, Kayla Strobel, and Trevor Messineo. Visitation was held 10-11 a.m., on Wednesday, November 1, at Bibber Memorial Chapel in Wells, followed by a funeral service at 11 a.m. and interment at Ocean View Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family requests a donation in Janet’s memory to the American Heart Association at www.heart.org. To share a memory or leave a message of condolence, visit Janet’s Book of Memories Page at www.bibberfuneral.com. Arrangements are in the care of Bibber Memorial Chapel, 111 Chapel Rd., Wells. • • • • • • • • • •

BERWICK – Kenneth C. Mayberry, longtime resident of Berwick, and current resident of Pinnacle Health Care in North Berwick, went to be with the Lord on October 28, 2023. He and his twin brother, Milton, were born March 8, 1936 in Lewiston, the sons of Kenneth and Theo (Purington) Mayberry. For many years, Kenneth worked at local shoe shops, retiring from a leather finishing shop in Portsmouth, NH. Loving ly k now n as “Chucka” or “Uncle Chucka,” Kenneth loved fishing and hunting, but especially loved just watching the deer. He enjoyed long walks in the woods, visiting the dairy farm with his nieces at UNH every weekend, and trips to the horse farm. The cows were his favorite, and seemed to remember him every time he visited. C hu c k a h a d a g r e e n thumb and took great pride in his tomato gardens, and at one point, raised more than 300 chickens. He shared his bounty with family and friends. He was always helpful with the chores on the family farm: attending to the animals, gardening, shoveling, or whatever needed to be done. Surviving are his twin brother Milton Mayberry and his wife Charlotte of Berwick, along with seven nieces and nephews who were like his own children: Randall Mayberry of Sun City, AZ, Crystal Dixon and husband Richard of Lebanon, Bonnie Mayberry and Kimberly Mayberry of Berwick, Candace Mayberry of Cornish, Eric Mayberry of South Berwick, Scott Mayberry and wife Tina of Woodville, NH, as well as many great-nieces and nephews. A viewing will be held Friday, November 3, 11 a.m. - 1 p.m., followed by funeral services at 1 p.m. at the Johnson Funeral Home, 26 Market Street, North Berwick. Interment to follow at Evergreen Cemetery, Berwick. Condolences may be expressed at www.johnsonfuneralhomeme.com. • • • • • • • • • •

WELLS – Joseph M. Tringali, Jr., 86, passed away peacefully on Thursday, October 26, 2023 surrounded by his loving family. He was the husband of the late Dorothy E. (Heinsohn) Tringali and a longtime companion of Nancy M. Russell. Born May 24, 1937 in New York City, Joe was a son of the late Joseph M. and Leonora (Renner) Tringali, Sr. He lived in Vernon, CT, for more than 40 years, and more recently had spent winters in Florida and summers in Maine, where he enjoyed the ocean air and views. Prior to retirement, Joe had a fulfilling 29-year career as an aeronautical engineer designing aircraft engines for Pratt & Whitney in East Hartford, CT. Joe had a passion for travel and, after retiring from Pratt & Whitney, bought a cruise ship travel franchise with his beloved wife, Dorothy. They explored the world together – the United States, the Caribbean, Europe, Asia, and Scandinavia; a special highlight was going to the Great Wall of China. To celebrate his 80th birthday, Joe and his sons explored the beautiful island of Sicily. Joe was active in his community, and had served on several boards and committees while living in Vernon. As a dedicated father, he spent countless hours watching his sons play hockey. He could also be found rooting for the Boston Red Sox and UConn Women’s basketball teams. When living in Wells, Joe loved playing golf and, most of all, laughing with family and friends. He is survived by his three

sons, Michael J. Tringali and wife Karen, Steven J. Tringali and wife Donna, and Douglas J. Tringali. Joe also leaves three grandchildren, Matthew R. Tringali, Kristin R. Paulsen, and Christopher J. Tringali, as well as two great-grandchildren, Harper Johnson-Tringali and Noa Johnson-Tringali. He is also survived by the loving family of Nancy Russell. Joe is predeceased by his brother Charles J.

D'Angelos Receive Rotary Club Award

KITTERYA Community Champion award was recently presented to Lisa and Ernie D’Angelo, by the Rotary Club of Kittery. The award was for “Service Above Self” to the community. The D’Angelos, owners of Kittery Ace Hardware, have been active volunteers with Kittery’s Footprints Food Pantry. They have mentored Traip Academy seniors, hosted the annual Buoy Tree fundraiser, sponsored a car show to raise funds for Mainspring Collective, in addition to many other community support efforts. Nominated by the community, the award was presented by Rotary District 7780 Governor Marion Cheney and Club President Pam Gray at

Robert’s Maine Grill in October. Service Above Self is one of the guiding principles of Rotarians, and the club is pleased to be able to establish this award to recognize and publicize those who are working quietly to make the community a better place. Rotary also presented The D’Angelos a Paul Harris Fellow award, representing $1000 made in their name to the work of the Rotary Foundation, which supports humanitarian service work locally and globally. For more information, email dbgkcg@aol.com or call 207-703-4312. In photo above: Dist r ic t Gover nor Ma r ion Cheney (left) presents the Community Champion Award to Lisa and Ernie D’Angelo.

Van Haren Hired as K-5 Education Coordinator at KCT KENNEBUNKPORT Jenna Van Haren was recently hired as the K-5 Education Program Coordinator at Kennebunkport Conservation Trust (KCT). A native of Wisconsin, Van Haren is a biology major with a master’s degree in environmental education. She has spent the last eight years working on the East Coast teaching environmental education programs in school districts, working firsthand with teachers and students, both in the classroom and out in nature. As someone who is familiar with working with school cur riculum standards, Van Haren is excited to “reach out to the teachers in the community, get to know their goals and to get to work involving as many RSU 21 students and teachers as possible in hands on learning and field trips at Kennebunkport Conservation Trust properties, throughout the school year.” When it comes to specialty niches, Van Haren said her love of “insects, bugs, and creepy crawly things such as toads, frogs, salamanders and snakes,” is a hit with young learners, and

is a great way to get them interested in nature no matter where they are. “Bugs are everywhere, and kids can learn from them anywhere, not just in nature. All houses have spiders and other insects in corners and basements for kids to look for and learn about, and when they see my genuine enthusiasm for insects it helps them engage more. I’m excited to bring my knowledge from working in the environment all over the country to the students here, and teaching and learning along with the students and educators in this community.” For more information, visit www.kporttrust.org.

New Senior VP, Chief HR Officer at MEMIC YORK COUNTY Michelle Allen has joined MEMIC’s senior leadership team as the new senior vice president and chief human resources officer. Her appointment was announced in a companywide memo by MEMIC President and CEO Michael P. Bourque. Allen holds an MBA from Southern New Hampshire University and numerous national industry certifications, including Certified Employee Benefits Specialist, Compensation Management Specialist, and Senior Professional in Human Resources. She replaces Catherine F. Lamson, who retired in June after 23 years with the company. “Michelle was our top candidate through all three rounds of interviews,” Bourque said. “Her combination of experience, skills, and personality make her a great fit for our team, and I

am excited for her to begin work with us as we scale the business for expansion and greater success.” Allen has worked in human resources since 2007, and in officer-level HR positions for 15 years. Most recently, she served as executive vice president at Androscoggin Bank, where she helped lead a transformation that lifted employee engagement into the top quartile among peers,

YLT Holds Grand Opening of Lafcadio’s Woods Preserve YORK On Sunday, October 22, York Land Trust hosted a grand opening celebration at its newest public access preserve, Lafcadio’s Woods. This 35-acre forested parcel abuts Fuller Forest Preserve, expanding conservation connectivity and public access. The preserve was donated to York Land Trust (YLT) by Emily Fuller Hawkins, Martha Fuller Clark, and Henry W. Fuller in honor of their nephew, Lafcadio Cortesi, who passed away in 2022. Born in Portsmouth, NH, Lafcadio traveled the globe devoting his life’s work to protecting forests on every continent. He was a remarkably effective conservationist and community organizer who provided leadership for numerous international environmental organizations, including Greenpeace and Rainforest Action Network. The grand opening event featured remarks about conserving the property and a heartfelt tribute to Lafcadio from members of the Fuller Family. His family was then joined by over 50 attendees who collected organic materials from the land nearby to create a nature mandala at the trailhead, in honor of Lafcadio and his legacy. The event closed with a guided hike along the newly forged trails, led by YLT staff. Thanks to the combined efforts of numerous volunteers and YLT staff, the preserve has been enhanced with the addition of a brand-new kiosk, an

extensive network of trails, and sturdy bridges. The 1.3 mile figure-eight loop trail spans diverse topography, ranging from shrubby wetlands to the south to steep rocky outcroppings to the north. The preserve is perfectly suited for a wide range of outdoor activities, including hiking, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, nature study, mountain biking and hunting. Pets on leash are also welcome. Parking can be found across Bartlett Road at the Fuller Forest Preserve parking lot. Because of the collaboration of many volunteers and York Land Trust staff, the preserve now features a newly constructed kiosk, trails, and bridges. The 1.3 mile figure-eight loop trail spans diverse topography, ranging from shrubby wetlands to the south to steep rocky outcroppings to the north. This preserve is an ideal location for hiking, snowshoeing, crosscountry skiing, nature study, mountain biking and hunting. Pets on leash are also welcome, and parking is conveniently located across Bartlett Road at the Fuller Forest Preserve parking lot. York Land Trust is a member-supported, nonprofit organization dedicated to conserving and protecting lands of ecological, historic, scenic, agricultural and cultural significance in the greater York area for the benefit of all.

and helped achieve B Corp™ certification, joining 14 other U.S. banks in a commitment to “leveraging business as a force for good.” Prior to her seven years at Androscoggin Bank, she was vice president and human resources manager at Camden National Bank, and a human resources business partner at Acadia Insurance. “The past seven years taught me much about who I wish to be in the world of business, what I stand for as a leader of people and process,” Allen said, “and about who I am, what it means to lead, what it means to leave it all on field. The chance to lead people initiatives in a company with MEMIC’s solid reputation and commitment – in the community, in the state, and in the industry – is a once in a lifetime opportunity. I am thrilled to be able to join the MEMIC team, to lend my experience and support toward MEMIC’s vision for the future.” In her role as Androscoggin Bank Executive Vice President, Allen was instrumental in developing and implementing strategies in collaboration with the CEO and executive team that touched all aspects of the enterprise, including development of its “Mission, Vision, and Values” programs to increase staff empowerment, strategies and efforts around environmental and social governance (ESG), enhancing public relations, upgrading community philanthropy and volunteerism, and developing “Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging” goals. Bourque said he would rely on Allen for leadership in many of the same initiatives at MEMIC in the coming years. He credited MEMIC Vice President of Human Resources Deb Sabatino and Director of Payroll and Benefits Kristen Wintle, for assuming added responsibility during Allen’s hiring. “I am grateful for their grace, expertise, and advice,” he said. The MEMIC Group includes M EM IC Indem nit y Company, MEMIC Casualty Company, and parent company Maine Employers’ Mutual Insurance Company; all rated “A” (Excellent) by A.M. Best. The MEMIC Group holds licenses to write workers’ compensation across the entire country. The group insures and serves more than 20,000 employers and their estimated 300,000 employees with dedicated safety and injury management service teams from Maine to Florida.

November Shows at KAA: “Natural Wonders,” Artist Joyce Amend

KITTERY Leonardo da Vinci once wrote that “nature is the source of all true knowledge.” While this may be true, nature can also sometimes be a source of magic and mystery. The Kittery Art Association (KAA) invites the public to join them in their new exhibit, “Natural Wonders,” a group exhibit featuring members from the KAA. The show will be on view through November 26. An open-

ing reception will be held this Sunday, November 5, 5-7 p.m. Also on view this month is work by Spotlight Artist Joyce Amend. She is a local artist and art instructor who lives and works in and around the beautiful seacoast region. She earned her BS degree at Cabrini University, PA, and then studied art at Wesleyan University in Connecticut, earning her MA degree in visual art. Before relocating to York, Amend taught art in Con-

necticut schools. She was the recipient of various grants awarded by the Connecticut Commission on the Arts, The State of Connecticut and the Hartford Education Foundation. More recently, she was awarded a grant by the Maine Arts Commission to continue her work. Amend enjoys painting in acrylic, watercolor and oil, is a certified Zentangle instructor. In addition to Zentangle meditative drawing, Joyce also teaches workshops in mandala dot painting, abstract watercolor, and acrylic fluid art painting at various recreational, community and health groups throughout Maine and New Hampshire. Her work has been exhibited throughout the region. Joyce’s artist statement: “In my everyday life, I am a planner and an organizer... I like to have all my ducks in a row, whether planning a vacation, scheduling daily tasks, organizing a class I’m teaching or coordinating family events. When it comes to creative art-making, much of that organization goes out the window! Spontaneity enters my world in a wondrous way. But this has happened only since I embraced the world of abstract art. Early on, my artwork focused on oil paintings that were detailed and quite realistic. My favorite theme then was recreating beautiful snowcapped

mountain ranges on canvas. Occasionally, I still find myself drawn to digging into my oils to paint those majestic forms of nature. I find this calming and exciting. However, once I discovered f luid acrylic painting, I was hooked. There is something magical about free-flowing, intuitive compositions that spontaneously evolve into beautiful abstract artworks. The unexpected merging of colors, and the compositional surprises are so exciting, where pigments dance across the canvas – somewhat controlled, but willfully intent as to where they want to go. And so, where art-making is concerned, the organizational component of my being was set free. When creating an abstract f luid artwork, I begin with a specific compatible color palette, fusing it as liquified colors. Using any of a variety of systematic methods, such as gravity, motion, and air, an explosion of colors results. I then manipulate the pigments until a pleasing and exciting composition appears, focusing on movement and design. Of tentimes hidden images appear; yet other times, the finished piece may bring about an emotion. Some of my artwork is layered with a glass-like resin that enhances and defines the overall beauty of the piece. Living on the Maine seacoast, it is easy to find creative

~ Arts & Entertainment ~ Internationally Known Irish Fiddler Kevin Burke KENNEBUNK Kevin Burke, one of the most popular and inf luential Irish fiddlers of the past 40 years, will make a special solo appearance in West Kennebunk on November 12. Burke’s performance is a part of the popular “Concerts in West K!” series of acoustic music concerts. Born in London in 1950 to parents from County Sligo, Ireland, Burke began playing the fiddle when he was just seven or eight years old. London at the time was home to a large community of Irish immigrants, and Irish music thrived throughout the city. Immersion in this

scene, combined with formal violin lessons, provided Burke with an exceptional education in the traditional music he is known worldwide for today. Burke’s professional career

has been extensive. He has been a member of some of the most popular and inf luential Irish groups of the past 40 years, including the Bothy Band, Patrick Street, and Open House. He has also played many times with the Celtic Fiddle Festival, a group of Celtic fiddlers active since 1993. Burke has also worked with a number of duo partners, such as Jackie Daly, Micheal O. Domhnaill, and Cal Scott, and has enjoyed an extensive solo career. He has garnered prestigious awards in both Ireland and the U.S., and was a 2002 recipient of a National Heritage Fellowship from the National Endowment

for the Arts. In 2016, Burke was named “Irish Traditional Musician of the Year.” He has recently launched “Music from an Irish Cottage,” a series of online videos, performances, and conversation with other leading Irish musicians. Burke’s concert will take place Sunday, November 12,

3-5 p.m. at the West Kennebunk United Methodist Church, 160 Alfred Road. Admission to the concert is $20 per person at the door, with open seating available. The concert is part of the reboot of the popular “Concerts in West K!” series. For more information, visit www.kevinburke.com or call 207-985-2831.

Health & Fitness Bill to Support Healthy Childhoods

NATIONWIDE Recent ly, U.S. Senators Angus King (I-ME) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) introduced legislation to promote healthy childhoods for children across the United States. The Preventing Adverse Childhood Experiences (PACE) Act would authorize grants to public health entities for the prevention of negative events during childhood like violence, abuse or neglect. The public health entities, like the Center for Disease Control (CDC), would use these grants for prevention activities or intervention. The CDC Director would also be required to conduct studies and research on ways to prevent negative childhood experiences. Existing research shows

that certain negative events, circumstances, or maltreatment during childhood – known as adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) – are associated with negative health outcomes both in childhood and later in life. An increased understanding of the connection between ACEs and long-term health is now even more critical, as studies from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) show that social isolation, school closures, and other stressors unleashed by the coronavirus pandemic may be amplifying the need for additional mental health resources. “Over the last several years, unprecedented challenges have inflicted serious traumas on our children, while at the same time hampering their social ties and support networks. These trau-

mas hurt right now – but their lingering effects may be even more severe,” said Senator King. “Studies have shown that Adverse Childhood Experiences – or ACEs – can contribute to long-term health challenges. We need more data to understand and mitigate these impacts, particularly in light of rising rates of mental health challenges for our young people. I’m proud to lead this bipartisan bill with Senator Murkowski, and urge Congress to take this step so we can find opportunities to help our children grow into healthy adults.” “Children should be able to face life with positivity. Sadly, too many kids in Alaska are forced to deal with difficult family situations, and are faced with adverse childhood experiences that impact their mental health in the long term,” said Se n ator Li s a Mu rkowsk i. “That’s why I’m joining Senator King on this effort to protect kids against adverse childhood experiences, while encouraging parents and families to work on creating healthy relationships and habits.” “Given the connection between ACEs and the risk of overdose and suicide, it is critical that we invest in efforts to prevent ACEs in all communities,” said Dr. J. Nadine Gracia, President and CEO, Trust for America’s Health. This important legislation would support research to build upon our previous understanding of trauma and ACEs and give communities the tools to help protect

children and promote lifelong health and well-being.” “Every child is filled with tremendous promise,” said Dr. Melissa Merrick, CEO of Prevent Child Abuse America (PCA America), “Promoting positive childhood experiences sets them up to thrive. PCA America supports the Preventing Adverse Childhood Experiences Act which will boost resources for preventing, mitigating, and understanding Adverse Childhood Experiences through data-driven, evidenced-based strategies and activities that leverage multi-sector partnerships.” According to the CDC, an estimated 62% of adults surveyed across 23 states reported that they had experienced one adverse childhood experience and nearly one-quarter reported that they had experienced three or more. The CDC has recognized adverse childhood experiences as a major public health concern and made it a priority area for focus in the National Center for Injury Prevention. However, there remain significant gaps in research to better define and understand these negative experiences. The KingMurkowski bill would make funding available to build on previous research and better

understand how these negative experiences effect people throughout their lives. The legislation would authorize the CDC Director to award grants to states, territories, Tribes, and local governments to carry out programs to prevent negative childhood experiences. The grants can be used for direct prevention or positive experience promotion interventions and to improve data collection and analysis. It would also require the CDC Director to conduct studies, evaluations, and research to address ACEs and promote PCEs. L a s t ye a r, S e n a t o r s King and Murkowski were honored with the “Publius Award” from the Center for the Study of the Presidency and Congress for public service and pragmatic solutions that avoid the political winds of the day. They have consistently worked together to, improve healthcare options for Mainers and Alaskans like expanding telehealth access, expand the mental healthcare workforce in rural America, and lower winter energy costs for families.

Health & Fitness Federal Grant to Bolster PFAS Response Efforts STATEWIDE The Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestr y (DACF) announced recently that it has received a $5 million grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to support the State’s effort to address PFAS contamination. The award was made possible through the Federal Fiscal Year 2023 Consolidated Appropriations Act, introduced in the House by Congresswoman Pingree and supported by the Maine delegation. “This substantial grant is a critical next step in our collective efforts to combat PFAS contamination, helping advance our nation-leading response to PFAS to protect our farms, communities, and future,” said Amanda Beal,

Commissioner of the Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry. “The Governor and I are thankful to the Biden Administration and Maine’s Congressional Delegation for this important award.” DACF will use the grant to support on-farm infrastructure improvements, fund essential agricultural PFAS research, advance the development of PFAS testing methodologies, and facilitate the creation and dissemination of vital guidance and educational materials to Maine agricultural producers that will also serve as a base of knowledge and support for other states and impacted producers nationwide. DACF intends to allocate the funds as follows: $3 Million to fund approximately six research projects, each valued at up to $500,000,

spanning over two years that will provide valuable information directly to producers impacted by PFAS. This research will focus on alternative cropping systems, PFAS uptake in crops and livestock, implementing strategies to mitigate PFAS impacts in agricultural operations, and supporting farm management decisions; $1 Million for grants to support on-farm infrastructure enhancements, ensuring our farms have the necessary resources to thrive; More than $100,000 will be allocated to grants for business planning, engineering design work, and marketing consultancies to assist farms in making operational changes or rebranding after PFAS contamination; Funding to the Maine Centers for Disease Control to sup-

port the development of testing methods for diverse agricultural matrices and products. This support will extend to lab analysis and data interpretation to effectively guide agricultural producers and consumers. DACF is dedicated to assisting farms impacted by PFAS contamination. Under the direction of the Mills Administration and with bipartisan Legislative support, DACF has created a pioneering technical and financial assistance program that assists affected farmers in navigating the uncertainties of PFAS contamination.

ALA. “The new COPD state briefs also examine key indicators for COPD in Maine, such as air quality, tobacco use, education, income level and vaccination rate, which can help us determine where to focus our prevention efforts and help those most impacted by the disease.” Additional states include Alabama, Arkansas, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Ohio, Tennessee and West Virginia. State prevalence rates range from 3.7% in Hawaii to 13.6% in West Virginia. The goal of the COPD State Briefs is to raise awareness for COPD and empower public health and healthcare professionals to take actionable steps to prevent the onset of illness, reduce health inequities, set goals for earlier diagnosis and ensure clinical guidelines are used to manage and treat COPD. For Maine, the ALA recommends the following actions to reduce the burden of COPD: Use a validated COPD screening tool for people who may be

at risk of COPD or reporting symptoms; Confirm a COPD diagnosis using spirometry, especially in primary care; Use evidence-based tobacco prevention and cessation services; Promote recommended vaccinations; Recommend pulmonary rehabilitation, COPD education and a COPD Action Plan. The COPD State Briefs were created with support by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The American Lung Association (ALA) is the leading organization working to save lives by improving lung health and preventing lung disease through education, advocacy and research. The work of the ALA is focused on four strategic imperatives: to defeat lung cancer; to champion clean air for all; to improve the quality of life for those with lung disease and their families; and to create a tobacco-free future.

contamination. Sa feg u a rd i ng huma n health and ensuring the viability of farms are DACF’s guiding principles. DACF staff work directly with impacted farms to identify the sources of contamination, recommend mitigation strategies, and provide technical assistance. The discovery of PFAS on a farm is undeniably challenging, but with support from DACF’s Bureau of Agriculture, Food, and Rural Resources and the new PFAS Fund, some farms can make adjustments that allow them to remain in business and ultimately produce safe food. When that is not the case, the PFAS Fund may purchase PFAS contaminated property. The PFAS fund will also support research and health initiatives.

ALA: Maine Among Highest COPD Rates in the U.S. STATEWIDE The Maine American Lung Association (A LA) recently released its annual COPD State Briefs, which include data about prevention, diagnosis, health outcomes and treatment of the disease for all 50 states and Washington, D.C. The briefs highlight the burden of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) across the U.S., highlighting the states with the highest COPD rates and opportunities to improve the burden of the disease. Maine is one of ten states that have the highest COPD rates and highest burden in the country. COPD, which includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema, is a long-term lung disease that makes it hard to breathe. There is currently no cure for COPD, but the disease is treatable. Nationally, approximately 5% of adults or 12.5 million Americans are living with COPD. For Maine, the results are as follows: 99,861 of adults have been diagnosed with COPD; The COPD prevalence rate is 9%; 888 people die each year from COPD; Annual cost of COPD treatment is $154 million; There are 92,660 lost days of work each year due to COPD. “Unfortunately, here in Maine, our residents face a higher burden of COPD, but together we can work to help prevent the disease and support people living with the disease to live longer and more active lives,” said Lance Boucher, director of advocacy for the

FINANCE & CAREER HUD Funds Available in Affordable Housing Vouchers

NATIONWIDE The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) recently announced two actions that together will enable more families to rent a healthy, stable home at an affordable cost: publishing Fair Market Rents (FMRs) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 and releasing an additional $113 million in Housing Choice Vouchers to public housing agencies to help 9,500 families to meet these growing costs. “Housing choice vouchers are some of the strongest tools we have to help families find stable and affordable housing,” said HUD Secretary Marcia L. Fudge. “This year, HUD found that rents rose once again, accentuating the strain on costs for American families. These updated Fair Market Rents and our funding will ensure households can utilize vouchers in a

competitive rental market.” The Office of Policy Development and Research (PD&R) published Fair Market Rents (FMRs) for FY24, which helps to determine the maximum amount a Housing Choice Voucher will cover. Nationally, FMRs will increase by an average of approximately 12%, which will increase the number of units that families using housing vouchers can access. “Increases in Fair Market Rents help families find homes of their choosing in competitive housing markets,” said Solomon Greene, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy Development and Research. “This year we are continuing improvements we made last year to how we calculate Fair Market Rents to make sure they are keeping up with rising rents. We’ve already seen these improvements help more voucher holders find housing that

is affordable, and we expect these new updates will help even more families.” The Office of Public and Indian Housing (PIH) also announced an additional $113 million in Housing Choice Voucher funding awards for 118 highperforming public housing agencies in 36 states. These funds will enable these agencies to provide rental assistance to 9,500 additional households in the coming year. “We want to make sure communities have the tools they need to help families lease homes,” said Richard J. Monocchio, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian Housing. “The additional funding we are awarding to housing authorities today helps these agencies that are already maximizing funds to house as many families as possible.” The Housing Choice Voucher program enables families to afford rental units in the private market. Given recent rental cost increases, families who receive vouchers are experiencing greater difficulty successfully using their vouchers to find affordable, safe, and quality housing. The new FMR levels recently announced – on top of an approximately 10 % increase nationally in FY 2023 – will help the voucher program keep up with rent increases in the private market, expand the number of affordable units, and help more families rent homes at an affordable cost. Housing Choice Vouchers are a key element of the BidenHarris Administration’s strategy to reduce homelessness and provide American families with tangible resources to address rising living costs. Since entering office, the Biden-Harris Administration has awarded more than 100,000 new housing vouchers to help more families afford a healthy, stable place to rent. Maine was allocated $21,790 for the vouchers. For more information, visit www.hud.gov, or call 202-7080685.

Free Workforce Strategy Webinar Series STATEWIDE A new monthly webinar series analyzing Maine workforce strategies was launched recently by Maine Community College System (MCCS) and the Harold Alfond Center. The series, called “Business Blueprint: Workforce Strategies in Maine’s Evolving Economy,” will feature guests with lived experience and subject matter expertise, who will share their best practices, opportunities, and resources to benefit Maine businesses and workers. The series is produced and presented by The Harold Alfond Center for the Advancement of Maine’s Workforce, the short-term workforce training center for MCCS. The premiere episode was livestreamed on Wednesday, November 1, and included guests Bruce Walker from L.L. Bean and Julia Trujillo Luengo with the state’s Department of Economic and Community Development. The speakers spoke live with host Joshua Howe, MCCS deputy executive director of workforce training and remote work. Luengo updated viewers on the implementation of the state’s 10-year economic plan and the initial findings of a recent employer survey, and Walker shared how L.L. Bean has expanded remote work in recent years, how remote work has impacted company culture, and the lessons learned since COVID. “This is a timely, practical webinar series that we hope will be truly useful to Maine businesses and workers,” said Dan Belyea, chief workforce development officer of the Harold Alfond Center. “In conversation with our 1,300-plus business partners across the state, we’ve learned there is a tremendous appetite for this kind of conversation between business leaders. Collectively, we are our own best partners, sharing our experiences and knowledge broadly and helping each

other face the challenges and opportunities in Maine’s changing economy. We’re looking to provide real solutions to real problems – and add value that lifts up businesses of all sizes across the state.” A schedule for the webinar series is posted on the MCCS website. Upcoming topics include: 2024 Employer Changes: Maine’s New Retirement Savings Mandate; Investing in Your Workforce: The Dirigo Business Incentive; AI in the Workplace: How AI Will Change Your Workforce in 2024; Consistent Healing: What You Need to Know about Recovery in the Workplace; The New Mainer Advantage: Tapping into Talent to Help Your Organization Grow; Your Best Investment: Why Apprenticeships Should be a Priority; From Incarceration to Employment: How and Why to Hire Return Citizens.

If they are a citizen of the United States and a resident of Maine when they are in the United States, the voter has a right to vote in Maine. This section is meant to answer questions about circumstances where a citizen may be in a transitional situation, and unsure as to where they can register to vote.

If a student lived in Maine prior to attending school in another state, and they wish to establish or keep their voting residency in Maine at that location (e.g., at their parents’ home address), they may do so as long as the voter has not already registered to vote in another state. Maine students may keep their voting residency here even if they move out of the county, state, or country to attend school. The only way they will lose this residency is if they abandon it by asserting residency in a new state. If the voter has registered to vote in another state, they will have to re-qualify as a Maine resident by providing proof of residency before they can register again in Maine.

Students

Uniformed Service Voters

Maine Voting Residence Fact Sheet STATEWIDE The following information is provided by www.maine.gov. Eligibility to Register and Vote in Maine

To be eligible to register to vote in Maine, a voter must: Be a citizen of the United States; be at least 16 years of age (they must be at least 18 years of age to vote, except that in primary elections they may vote if they are 17 but will be 18 by the general election); have established and maintain a voting residence in the municipality (i.e. city, town, plantation or unorganized township) where they seek to register.

Maine Voting Residence

Residence for the purposes of elections is defined in Maine election law (Title 21-A, section 112 (1)) as that place where the person has established a fixed and principal home to which the person, whenever temporarily absent, intends to return. Note that this definition has two components: 1) the establishment of a fixed and principal home in a given place, and 2) the intent to return there whenever temporarily absent. Under this definition, residence is something that they establish, not something they choose. Voters may offer documentation of any of the following which the Registrar of Voters may consider in determining whether one has established residence in a particular municipality in Maine: A direct statement under oath of their intention to reside at a particular place; the location of any dwelling they currently occupy; the place where the voter has registered their motor vehicle (if they own the vehicle); their current income tax return or other tax document showing their residence address; the residence address where their mail is received; the residence address on their cur-

rent hunting or fishing license; the residence address on their driver’s license or state identification card; their eligibility for public benefits based on residency; or any other documentation that they may have (e.g., a utility bill with their residence address) showing objective facts that tend to indicate their place of residence.

Residency and Domicile

Maine courts have held that voting residency as defined in Maine’s election statutes is equivalent to the common law concept of domicile. Whereas “residence” typically refers to the location where they physically reside, domicile means something more. In order to establish domicile, they must intend to make a place their home, and not just physically live there. Once the voter has established a fixed and principal home, that home is assumed to be their domicile until they establish a new one. Changing their domicile usually requires action (moving some place) and intent (intending for the new place to become their home). they may live in two different houses during different parts of the year, but as a matter of law they can have only one domicile and thus only one voting residence. When they complete a voter registration application, they must provide an address where they were previously registered to vote (either inside or outside of Maine), unless they are registering to vote for the first time.

Declaring Voting Residence by Registering To Vote

By registering to vote in a municipality in Maine, voters are declaring residency in that community, at that address. They may also need to update their residence information with other government agencies, such as the Bureau of Motor Vehicles (for driver’s license and vehicle registration) even though doing so is not a prerequisite to

registering to vote or obtaining a ballot. Residency is defined differently for different legal purposes. Residency requirements for students, military personnel, incarcerated persons, and citizens living outside the United States:

If they are a student, the voter has the right to register in the municipality in Maine where they attend school, provided the voter has established a voting residence there as defined in Maine’s election laws and explained above. they can establish a voting residence (i.e., their “fixed and principal home”) at their Maine school address, whether that residence is a dorm, apartment, house or even a hotel. Maine law expressly provides that they will not gain or lose residency solely because of their presence in or absence from the state while attending school, and this provision may not be interpreted to prevent a student at any institution of learning from qualifying as a voter in the town where the student resides while attending that school. As a student, the voter must meet the same residency requirements as all other potential voters. They must first determine where the voter has established residency and then register to vote there. If a voter pays out-of-state tuition as a student at a Maine college or university, that does not preclude them from establishing residency in Maine for voting purposes. If the voter has established residency in another municipality or state, they may vote by absentee ballot in that municipality or state.

Members of the military, who are qualified to register to vote, do not gain or lose residency solely because of their presence or absence while on active duty. Generally, the home of record that they claim for their service branch is their established residence for voting purposes. If that legal residence is in Maine, service members may register to vote at that address. Their spouse or dependents may have the same voting residence as they do, or they may have established and maintain a separate residence where they would register to vote. Citizens living outside the United States (also known as “overseas voters”). If they are qualified to register to vote, but they reside outside the United States and they do not maintain a fixed and principal home or other address in Maine, overseas voters may register and enroll using the last residence address where they lived in Maine immediately before leaving the United States.

Incarcerated Persons

If they are incarcerated in a correctional facility or in a county jail, they are entitled to register to vote in the Maine municipality where they previously established residency (a fixed and principal home

to which they intend to return) prior to incarceration.

Homeless/Displaced Persons

If they are homeless or living in a shelter, the unhoused are entitled to register to vote in the Maine municipality where they currently reside, even if the voter has a nontraditional address, such as a park bench or other physical location. Unhoused residents may submit a physical description of their place of residence, under oath, to their municipal clerk in lieu of other residency documentation. Voters who are homeless are not required to present a mailing address in order to register to vote.

Additional Information

For municipalities with a population of 500 or more, the polls open any time between 6 a.m. and 8 a.m. For municipalities with a population of less than 500, the polls open any time between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m. Local officials can give voters the exact opening time for any municipality. All voting places close at 8 p.m. on Election Day.

BA Girls Varsity Soccer Recap

Berwick Academy 1 Proctor Academy 0 The Ber wick Academy (BA) Bulldogs traveled to Proctor Academy on Wednesday, October 25, to take on the Proctor Hornets on turf under the lights and came away with their 10th win and their 10th shutout. The game was 0-0 at the half and the Berwick team came out stronger and more energized in the second half. A notable play occurred when senior Tessa Keenan (Exeter, NH), who played a strong defensive game in the center of midfield, took a beautiful shot on goal but the goalie

made the save. The Bulldogs had a close chance late in the game when they earned a corner. Senior Allie Moore (North Berwick) played a great ball into the six and Ginger Friedman (North Hampton, NH) headed it off the post. The two teams kept the game scoreless until Moore, with five minutes on the clock, beat her defender – turned one way around the Proctor player, pivoted and turned the other way – and then lofted the ball over the Proctor goalkeeper and into the net. The Bulldogs had a corner

kick advantage over Proctor with 7 corner kicks to their 5. The Bulldogs improve to 10-3-2 on the season. The Berwick squad has four regular season games left on the schedule. Berwick Academy 2 Portsmouth Abbey School 0 On Saturday, October 28, the Berwick Bulldogs earned their 11th shutout on Saturday on their home turf against Portsmouth Abbey, coming away with a 2-0 win. The game was extra special as it was the Bulldogs’ last Saturday home game, their Senior Game, and Pink Day for Breast Cancer Awareness. All of these reasons highlighted that these varsity players were playing not simply for themselves and their team, but also for their school, their families, and an important cause. The Berwick team battled under the sun on an uncharacteristically warm and humid October day. They hit their stride midway through the first half,

and the defensive line played a particularly strong game all the way through, giving Portsmouth Abbey a run for their money. With two minutes left on the clock in the first half, Moore made a gorgeous goal off a free kick and into the top corner of the net. The ball soared on the curve as it sailed into the goal, and, according to senior Lindsay Bennett (Sanford), “Allie outdid herself (from the last game a few days ago when she scored).” In the 44th minute, Friedman headed the ball into the net off a corner kick from Moore, solidifying the Bulldogs’ ownership of the game, by giving them their second goal. A few other noteworthy moments occurred when Eliza Small (Portsmouth, NH) carried the ball from the back center of the field, all the way up the right side and shot wide, but the Bulldogs could not finish it. In the 70th minute, goalie Alexa Garcia (Dover, NH) showed her

prowess when she tipped the ball up over the net off a Portsmouth Abbey corner kick. She also made seven saves during the 40-minute half of the game she played. Senior Kaya Garside (Portsmouth, NH) exhibited her calm and measured approach to the game, clearing the ball, and volleying it up and over her opponents a few different times. Taylor Anderton (Exeter, NH) battled for and won the ball multiple times, reminding the other team of her persistence. Additionally, in the final two minutes of the game, senior Leah Zaheer (West Newbury, MA) made a beautiful shot from out wide, and it nearly went in the goal. Seniors Anderton, Garside, Moore, Bennett, Keenan, Zaheer, Wojdak, and Friedman will leave huge shoes to fill. They are a force to reckon with. The Bulldogs improved to 11-3-2 on the season. With three games left in the regular season, the Bulldogs hope to qualify for EIL and NEPSACs.
