KTP’s 15th Annual Food Round-Up Berwick, South Berwick Veterans Day Services

KITTERY K it te r y Tr a d i n g Pos t (KTP) is excited to announce their upcoming annual Food Round-Up, an event that brings together local residents and customers from all over the area to support individuals in need. This year’s Food RoundUp will take place on Friday, November 17, 9 a.m. - 2 p.m. at Kittery Trading Post on Route 1, with all donations going to Footprints Food Pantry. For the past 15 years, KTP has been hosting the Food Round-Up, a tradition that has grown in popularity and impact. The purpose of the event is to encourage customers to donate four or more non-perishable food items or personal care items. In return for their generosity, donors will receive a KTP gift card valued between $10 and $500 during the event. Many customers line up early and bring bags full of donations. Over the years, the Food Round-Up has evolved into a significant community effort. Each year, the donations have increased, allowing KTP to make an even larger impact on those in need. This year, Footprints Food Pantry has seen a 67% increase of individuals in need. The Food Round-Up plays a crucial role in ensuring that their shelves are stocked, and local families have access to essential supplies. To meet the higher demand, KTP has increased the number of gift

cards that will be given away to 2000 in hopes of collecting more donations. The impact of the Food Round-Up on the local community is immeasurable. This event marks the start of the holiday season, bringing the spirit of giving to the forefront. KTP’s Food Round-Up was created to provide holiday cheer and support those in the community who are in need of a helping hand. When asked what he thought of this annual event, Kittery Trading Post co-owner Robert Adams was quick to reply, “It’s my favorite event of the year!” Several other local businesses have joined in by helping unload the truck once it arrives

at Footprints food pantry, showcasing the solidarity within the community. The spirit of giving is at the core of the Food Round-Up, and everyone’s contribution, big or small, makes a difference. K it te r y Tr a d i n g Pos t (KTP) is a renowned outdoor retail store located in Kittery. With a wide range of products and a commitment to exceptional customer service, KTP has been a staple in the community for 85 years. Beyond providing outdoor clothing and gear, KTP is dedicated to giving back and making a positive impact on the local community through initiatives like the Food Round-Up.

Pantry Program Seeks Turkeys, Donations

YORK COUNTY Higher food prices over the past couple of years means a longtime York County pantry program is looking to the com-

munity to help them provide turkeys for about 900 families in need for both Thanksgiving and Christmas this year. Between the 900 food boxes dispensed during Thanksgiving and 500 more at Christmas, York County Shelter Programs (YCSP)’s Food Pantry distributes about 1,400 boxes over the two holidays. With each box containing enough food for a family of four, that adds up to meals for roughly 5,600 people. And YSCP could use some help. “Costs are up... in the food industry,” said YCSP Food Services Director Scott Davis. The poultry industry has taken an especially hard hit in recent years with ongoing outbreaks of bird flu, which contributed to higher turkey prices in 2022, Davis noted. Many may also remember higher egg prices earlier this year. Davis said food distributors are also trying to fill driving positions, and all those factors together have driven up costs. The American Farm Bureau

Discounts as big as a house. Or condo. Or apartment.

Federation has claimed turkey prices in 2023 are expected to be slightly lower for Thanksgiving than they were in 2022, but overall food costs are still up. That, according to Davis, means even though the agency works with local supermarkets to secure the best price they can for frozen turkeys, the price is still higher than sale prices offered to consumers closer to the holiday. Sale prices, designed to attract families shopping for deals and often referred to in the industry as “loss leaders,” do entice consumers to visit the store and purchase additional items, but also have a restriction on the quantity that can be purchased at once. “We are struggling,” Davis said, and is hoping area individuals, businesses, and organizations will step up. “If a local business or (government) department wants to do a turkey drive, that would be a big help,” he said. Davis also mentions that the pantry, located at the corner of Route 4 and Swett’s Bridge Road in Alfred, would also welcome and appreciate donations of turkeys by individuals and families. The frozen birds may be dropped off at the pantry any weekday morning between 8 a.m. and 12 p.m. 10- to 12-pound frozen turkeys are the ideal size for a donation.

WJHS’s 29th Annual Thanksgiving Dinner for Area Seniors

WELLS Eighth-grade students and staff at Wells Junior High School (WJHS) will present their 29th Annual Turkey Dinner for area seniors on Sunday, November 19, 11 a.m. - 1 p.m. The free dinner will be held in the school’s cafeteria, also referred to as the multipurpose room. Dinner will consist of turkey with all the fixings, plus coffee and dessert. This popular event serves about 400 annually.

It is not only a gesture of goodwill offered to the community but a major “service learning” project for all eighth-grade students. Wells Junior High School is located at 1470 Post Road (Route 1) in Wells. No reservation for this dinner is needed. For further information, call WJHS at 207646-5142 or email rebennett@ wocsd.org. (Photo above from the 2014 Annual Thanksgiving Dinner)

The Thanksgiving food boxes will contain turkey, vegetables, cranberry sauce, stuffing, gravy, a dessert, and a few extras, such as pasta and sauce or macaroni and cheese. Food Pantry manager Mike Ouellette said donations of any of those additional items are also welcome. At Christmas, the menu may change a bit, with ham offered

instead of a turkey. Those who want to help may also mail a check, with “food pantry” written in the check memo line, to York

New Laws for Larger Campfires STATEWIDE To enhance fire safety and prevent wildfires, the Maine Department of Agriculture, Conser vation and Forestr y (DACF) is implementing a new law that mandates burn permits for larger campfires. The law, LD 24, went into effect Wednesday, October 25, and will impact fires that exceed three feet in height and three feet in diameter that are not for debris disposal. Notably, permits for burning brush and wood debris remain unaffected and are still required under the existing regulations. The new law also makes it unlawful for burning outdoors during red flag warning days. Maine residents and visitors planning fires larger than the specified dimensions, often referred to as “bonfires,” will be required to obtain burn permits. These permits are available free of charge and can be secured

online after 9 a.m. at www. maineburnpermit.com. This new regulation aims to mitigate the risk of larger campfires getting out of control and causing wildfires. By requiring permits for this type of fire, the state hopes to ensure fire safety measures are in place, reducing the potential for firerelated emergencies. Spearheaded by DACF’s Maine Forest Service (MFS), Maine Forest Rangers launched an informational campaign to create public awareness about this signif icant change. An awareness campaign will continue through Spring 2024. The Rangers are actively engaging with communities across the state to educate and inform the public about the new law. They have distributed brochures and displayed informative posters at various events, including recent Fire Prevention Week open houses. The Maine Forest Service, a division of the Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry, is dedicated to the stewardship and protection of the state’s forests.

These sleek, sweet, playful siblings will be spayed and neutered soon, and will soon be ready for adoption in pairs. Homes must provide a safe indoor-only environment, with people who are eager to interact with their mischievous, fun little new family members. Safe Haven’s volunteers have done an incredible job of spoiling them and getting them ready for adoption! They are wonderful kittens, three females and one male. Each one loves to snuggle, and to be picked up and cuddled. They love each others’ companionship. When sibling kittens are adopted in pairs, they rarely get lonely, as they have a mate for

companionship. This makes for well-adjusted cats. Adopting kittens in pairs is the best way to support their behavioral development, as cats who were solitary kittens have a tendency to play too rough because they did not learn how from a sibling or their mother. When kittens are in the litter, they play endlessly, and when one gets out of line, another kitten will whack them or give a nip. This is how kittens learn boundaries. Those who have adopted pairs of kittens could show off countless photos of touching moments over the many years

Essential Tips for First-Time Thanksgiving Hosts

Hosting Thanksgiving is a large undertaking that can put any host under pressure, especially “newbies” who are hosting their dinner for the first time. Unlike some holidays that are less food-focused, Thanksgiving is largely about the food, and usually there is a lot of it. Turkey is the centerpiece of the celebration, and guests who come for dinner are going to be excited for the turkey, along with any number of side dishes and desserts. Leaving hungry is never an option on Thanksgiving! In fact, the opposite could be said to be true, as many hosts will pack up “leftovers to-go” boxes for departing guests when the night is through. Those who are new to hosting a Thanksgiving dinner may be at a loss as to where to even start with their preparation. There are certain musthaves any host should familiarize themselves with, as many of these essentials revolve around tools needed for both for cooking in the kitchen and for serving guests. The following is a checklist of kitchen essentials that can help a host pull off their ultimate Thanksgiving feast. A large roasting pan. The

host will need something to oven-roast the turkey in. While it is perfectly fine to use a disposable aluminum pan for one holiday meal, the host could consider investing in a quality roasting pan. A good pan will help deliver even cooking temperatures to the food, and can be used over and over later on for roasting other meats and vegetables. A wire rack. The turkey is placed upon a rack inside of the roasting pan so that it will not swim in its own juices, causing a soggy bottom during cooking. Wire racks are essential to the roasting process, as the juices are usually collected and made into gravy after the bird is done. Many roasting pans will already come with their own fitted rack, but if not, a separate rack that fits inside the pan can always be purchased separately. The rack can be used for other purposes as well, such cooling baked cookies and drying fresh herbs. A food thermometer. Ensuring the turkey and other foods are cooked to the correct internal temperature is essential. Nobody wants to be sent home with any foodborne illnesses. Food thermometers run the gamut from a very basic manual model to so-

See Recipe on Page 25 Creating More Storage Space in the Kitchen If home is where the heart is, then the kitchen is where that heart spends most of its time. Kitchens are where family and friends tend to congregate during holiday celebrations, and many a homework assignment has been completed at a kitchen island while parents prepare dinner. The popularity of kitchens is reflected in the attention these rooms get from renovation-minded homeowners. Data from the National Association of Home Builders indicates kitchens are the most popular room to remodel. Upgrading kitchen storage is a popular renovation project,

and is also one that has practical appeal. Adding more storage in the kitchen gives the room a more organized feel, which can make preparing meals more enjoyable. More storage options also means extra space when hosting, as guests inevitably end up congregating around the island while the host prepares the food. With those benefits in mind, wouldbe organizers can consider these strategies to create more storage space in the kitchen. Take stock of the spice rack. Creating more storage space does not necessarily have to involve tools like screwdrivers, hammers,

phisticated electronic ones that can be programmed to alert the cook through an app on a smartphone. Turkey is done when the temperature reads 170 F in the breast and 180 F in the thigh. If stuffed, the stuffing should register 165 F, according to the Butterball Turkey website. Coordi nated casserole dishes. Casserole dishes can hold all of the sides served with the turkey, including stuffing, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, green beans, and more. A set of matching dishes will help the table look more coordinated. The sets can be coordinated towards a specific holiday theme. Scour big-box discount stores and websites for holiday-themed casserole dish sets and last-minute sales. For an added touch of vintage glamour, websites such as Etsy offer vendors who sell complete vintage casserole dish sets, often times in new or like-new condition. Service for eight or more. Thanksgiving dinners can draw a crowd, so hosts need to take inventory of silverware, dishes, wine glasses, and any other table needs to ensure that everyone coming to the party can be accommodated. The host may want to think about purchasing a new set of silverware or glass-

ware just for the occasion, as mixed and matched items may be okay for informal events but may not set the right tone for a more formal setting. Tables and chairs. Determine if there is enough table space to seat all of the guests. Some dining room sets come with an extension leaf and extra chairs to help extend the seating capacity, but the host still may need to supplement with an additional folding table and chairs. Extra seating can always be rented from a local party supply or wedding supply vendor, borrowed from a neighbor, or even purchased from a local big-box store. Young children always have a good time sitting at the “kid’s table” with their siblings, friends and cousins, which only adds to the festive atmosphere of the day. The serving platter. When the turkey is ready, it can be placed on an attractive serving platter for photos. After the photo shoot, the host (or a designated “turkey carver”) can slice and then return the carved meat back to the serving platter for dining. Hosting Thanksgiving can be a rewarding experience with the right preparation and essential gear in place. By ensuring that these must-haves are on hand, the host can create a memorable and successful Thanksgiving celebration for all their guests to enjoy.

“Making Water Better!”

York, Me

The Senior Citizen Advisory Board of York is accepting applications for the eldest citizen in 2024 for the Boston Post Cane. The recipient should be at least 100 years old. To submit an application, provide the name of the recipient and how to reach them to Deborah Meyers at (603) 502-9362 or DJMeyers6666@yahoo.com or www.yorkmaine.org (search for “Boston Post Cane”)

and nails. Spice racks can easily become overcrowded, especially when amateur cooks expand their culinary expertise as they purchase more spices to try out that new recipe. A crowded spice rack inevitably spills out onto the surrounding countertop, creating an overcrowded, disorganized look. Take stock of the spice rack and discard any expired spices and seasonings, or those seldom used. This can help create a more organized look and free up extra counter space. Make a digital cookbook. If go-to recipes are filling a binder or two, those binders might be taking up a little too much storage space. Scan printed recipes and convert the physical recipe collection into a digital cookbook stored on a tablet. Install roll-out shelving in the pantry. Roll-out shelving puts the entire pantry to use. Without such shelving, items are destined to be relegated to that nether region known as “the back of the pantry.” Some items never emerge from this area, as cooks may forget they are there and then purchase duplicates, which inevitably contributes to greater storage issues down the road. Roll-out shelving ensures items in the pantry can be found and greatly reduces the likelihood that of duplicate items taking up precious kitchen space. See STORAGE on page 25 . . .

Susan N. Kanak, 74 WELLS – Susan Norton Kanak, of Wells, passed away unexpectedly at Maine Medical Center in Portland on Thursday, November 2, 2023. She was 74 years of age. Susan was born in Pittsfield, MA, on August 6, 1949, the daughter of Dr. Stanley and Dayl Norton. She graduated from Pittsfield High School before attaining her bachelor’s degree from Boston University in psychology and her Master of Business Administration from Rivier College. Susan started her career as a social director at numerous nursing homes in the Boston area before entering Massachusetts state employment in the Office of Elder Affairs. She moved to the State Auditor’s Office and subsequently served as Deputy in the Office of the State Comptroller until her departure from state service in early 1999. Susan then worked with Muskie Institute at the University of Southern Maine (Portland) developing training programs for social work data collection and on other child welfare related projects until her retirement in 2011. Susan was active in the Wells community and surrounding towns from the moment she and her husband, Jim, made it their permanent home in 1998.

Her biggest and proudest effort was the creation of Women Who Drink and Do Good, an informal organization of women she co-founded in 2013. The group would meet for cocktails and socializing every few months to gather contributions to support area organizations and/or individuals in need. In its ten years, the group has raised and distributed approximately $44,000. In addition to WWD and DG, Susan participated in a monthly book club at the Wells Ogunquit Center at Moody, an Astrology group that meets in Saco, and enjoyed walking, doing yoga, and going to the gym (usually complaining that Jim required her to go with him). Susan’s many passions included reading, traveling, going out to eat at favorite restaurants, cooking, enjoying her cats, and enjoying the southern coast of Maine. Susan and Jim hosted a competitive annual family and friends croquet tournament in their yard overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, highlighted by a post tournament lunch featuring lobster rolls. Susan and Jim are also known for their Saturday morning breakfast recipe posts on Facebook with family and friends. Perhaps Susan’s most lasting legacy is the special relationships she formed with her nieces, her nephew, and now their children. “Aunt Sissy,” as she was

Winter Wonders 2023 “Lights Up” The Holidays ELIOT Visit Sandy Hill Farm for an illuminating and festive start to the holidays. The farm, located at 34 Sandy Hill Lane in Eliot, celebrates winter and the holiday season with an enchanted forest decorated with an immersive and festive display of colorful lights. This is year four of the Winter Wonders Light Show event, which has steadily grown to become one of the biggest and brightest walk-through holiday light shows in Northern New England. Over two million lights are displayed throughout the farm. Featured displays include giant trees, over 100 feet tall and wrapped all the way to the

top, a 30-foot lobster trap tree, a volcano that actually erupts, a lighted covered bridge, and a magical winter garden. Decorated Christmas trees, trains, and walk-through light displays of sparkling tunnels, presents, and winter trees immerse audiences in thousands of lights, bringing out the kid in everyone. There are also many large lighted animals, including moose, reindeer, and polar bears, that were all constructed by artisans at the farm. Sandy Hill Farm prides itself on providing “one-of-a-kind” displays not seen anywhere else. The basic concept of the walk-through light show remains the same as in past years.

The roughly one-mile trail winds through 14 acres of beautiful, enchanted hardwood forest. The trail is on gentle, rolling terrain with only a few minor elevation changes. The light show takes a little over an hour to experience, and participants can go through the displays at their own pace. Dress warm! There are many areas to take pictures for those holiday cards, and to create memories to last a lifetime. Warm cider donuts, warm drinks, and holiday music make the visit festive. The show runs from November 17 through January 1, 2024. Tickets must be purchased in advance. For details, visit www.sandyhillmaine.com.

T his histor ical f ic tion novel is based on the tr ue story of a 1915 road trip during the suffrage movement. Four women embarked on a journey in an open car, traveling from San Francisco to Washington, DC, with a petition addressed to Congress and President Wilson. Their mission was to advocate for a constitutional amendment granting women the right to vote in the United States. In 2015, Anne retraced their route and blogged about it on her weblog, www.suffrageroadtrip. blogspot.com.

This is Gass’ second book focusing on the woman’s suffrage movement. Her f irst, “Florence Brooks Whitehouse and Maine’s Fight for Woman Suffrage,” is a biography about her great-grandmother, a Maine suffrage leader from 1913 to 1920. Anne Gass serves as an appointed member of Maine’s

~ Arts & Entertainment ~ Singin’ the Blues at the Berwick Public Library BERWICK “Poor Howard” Stith and Mike “Bullfrog” Rogers will bring the blues back to the Berwick Public Library on Wednesday, November 15 at 6 p.m. Their program, “A Walk Through the Delta,” is both educational and entertaining, mixing both music and folk humor while showing how this distinctly American music has gained in international popularity. Howard Stith is a scholar of early blues and has been performing for over forty years.

Exposed to the music of American folk and blues singer Lead Belly at an early age, Howard carries on the 12-string guitar style that emerged during the 1930s. He also plays steel guitar in the “bottleneck” style made popular by blues musicians Son House and Robert Johnson. In 2012, Howard represented New Hampshire at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, TN. Mike Rogers is a harmonica virtuoso who draws on the styles of musicians Sonny Terry

He brings the harmonica alive with such songs as “Run, Bear, Run,” about a chicken-chasing dog, and “Shortnin’ Bread,” an American folk song dating back to the slavery days of the late 1800s, made popular by the Andrews Sisters in the late 1930s.

YPL, Surf Point Foundation, to Host Nightingale Vocal Ensemble

YORK York Public Library (YPL) will be partnering with the Boston-based Nightingale Vocal Ensemble and Surf Point Foundation in York, to provide a unique opportunity to the general public in the seacoast region. On Saturday, November 18, at 1 p.m., all are invited to Nightingale’s Maine premiere of Andrew List’s vocal quartet, clarinet, and piano cycle titled, “Journey of Seasons.” Featuring poetry by writer May Sarton (pictured), “Journey of Seasons” uses the image of a garden as a metaphor for the self amidst life’s seasons. Dr. Ivy Schweitzer, Professor of English and Creative Writing at Dartmouth University, will give a brief presentation on Sarton and her impact on 20th century American literature before the

musical portion of the program. Nightingale Vocal Ensemble is a Boston-based vocal ensemble dedicated to creating unique and imaginative concert experiences by performing members’ original compositions, presenting varied chamber and ensemble works, and engaging in innovative collaborations.

to perform, reached out to YPL for the Maine premiere because of May Sarton’s roots in the town of York. Nightingale recognizes the value of interdisciplinary art, and this concert is a perfect example of that. Concertgoers are also invited by Surf Point Foundation to visit the “Wild Knoll Foundation Garden” before the concert, from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The garden is a public art project created by 2021 Surf Point alumna Carly Glovinski, who will also be in attendance during the events. May Sarton spent the final 22 years of her life residing in York, where she affectionately referred to her home as “Wild Knoll,” a house overlooking the sea. Despite encountering an increasing array of challenges during this period, her writing remained a resilient force, yielding numerous volumes of poetry and journals. In 1994, her last collection of poems, “Coming into Eighty,” was published. May Sarton passed away in York in July 1995, at the age of 83. Although the house she once occupied was dismantled in 2021 due to the costs of its maintenance and renovation, the enduring Wild Knoll Foundation Garden stands as an everlasting tribute to her artistic vision and her affection for her “seaside abode.” The Surf Point site is an exquisite piece of property, consisting of 47 acres of oceanfront, marshland, and woods. Surf Point Foundation provides time, space, and support for members of the visual arts community to think, connect, and create. The organization offers nominated artists and art professionals three-week live/work residencies along the York coast.

Health & Fitness Veterans Apply for PACT Act Beneﬁts NATIONWIDE During a f ishing trip three years ago, Army Veteran David Krall, 75, of Colorado Springs, CO, noticed his balance slipping. As a forward observer in Vietnam from 1970 to 1971, the long-term impact of chemical exposures was not often considered. “I noticed my quality of life going down,” Krall said. He was diagnosed this year with Park inson’s disease, which VA can presume was caused by his exposure to Agent Orange when determining his eligibility for disability compensation and health care. Krall was one of more than 1,000 Veterans attending the El Paso County PACT Act claims clinics in early August in Colorado Springs. The three-day event culminated after months of coordination between VA and El Paso County. “We are a prime example of how partnerships between local and federal agencies can maximize resources and better serve the needs of the Veteran community,” said Marshall Bosworth, El Paso County Veteran service officer, who also coordinated monthly PACT Act briefs with VA support from March to July. “VA will not rest until every Veteran gets the benefits they deserve.” The Pikes Peak area is known for military service. It

is home to Fort Carson, Peterson Space Force Base, Schriever Space Force Base, Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station and the Air Force Academy. Of the more than 730,000 people who live in El Paso County, roughly 15% are Veterans. The PACT Act further expands VA health care eligibility and benefits for Veterans with toxic exposures during the Vietnam, Gulf War and post-9/11 eras. “This law helps us provide generations of Veterans and their survivors with the care and benefits they’ve earned and deserve,” said Michael Kilmer, Eastern Colorado VA director. “VA will not rest until every Veteran gets the toxic exposurerelated care and benefits they deserve.” After filing a claim, Krall sat with a nurse trained in identifying and documenting potential exposures to toxins during military service, enabling Veterans to benefit from exposureinformed care. “We didn’t get this sort of help after Vietnam. To get help, we had to fight for it. I knew it was going to be busy here but they simplified the process. We have such a big Veteran population here, a lot of Gulf War issues, so this is very helpful,” Krall said. From noon to 8 p.m. each day, Veterans, equipped with discharge papers and medical records pulled into the Colorado Army National Guard

Readiness Center. They checked in below a 20x38-foot U.S. f lag, which draped one of the armory’s cinder block walls. Supported by VA benefits specialists, they filed hundreds of claims. Outside, VA-contracted mobile exam units completed more than 300 claims, setting two records for the most completed in a single day. The highest demand involved sinusitis, rhinitis and other respiratory conditions, then hypertension. I n a not he r room, VA nurses completed nearly 400 toxic exposure screenings. Of the more than 52,000 Veterans screened in the Denver metro, Pikes Peak and rural areas, at least one exposure concern was endorsed in roughly 24,000 or nearly half. VA personnel were also checking in Veterans for health See PACT on page 26 . . .

Farmsteads of New England to Host Annual Clambake, Auction YORK A nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering adults with autism and other developmental disabilities to live meaningful and satisfying lives, Farmsteads of New England will be hosting its largest fundraiser of the year, the Annual Clambake and Auction, on Saturday, November 11 at Foster’s Clambake and Catering in York. The annual fundraiser enables the organization to raise much-needed funding to sustain and expand the comprehensive support day and residential services that are provided in a farm environment, in their two locations in Epping, NH and Hillsborough, NH. The residents in both locations receive direct training and learn how to take care of farm animals and grow crops while living

on-site. It is a valuable experience for them, where they can acquire skills and engage with their communities. The event will feature food, a live and silent auction, and more. It will also be an opportunity to learn more about the Farmsteads’ mission. Sponsors include Cross Insurance, Silicon Valley Bank, CGI Benefits Group, Mirador IT, Berry Dunn, Skillings and Sons, Bow Plumbing, the Coach Stop Restaurant, and One Sky Community Services.

Remove single-use gadgets from the kitchen. Much like spices and seasonings vital to the preparation of specialty meals have a tendency to be used just once, kitchen gadgets that lack versatility have a way of gathering dust and taking up storage space. Whether a popcorn maker, a seldom-used but space-needy wok, or another gadget that is used infrequently, if at all, store single-use gadgets in the garage or another area of the house where they will not get in the way or contribute to a less-than-organized look for the

room. A few simple strategies can help create more storage space in the kitchen, allowing for a more efficient and enjoyable cooking experience. By implementing these changes, home chefs can transform their kitchen into a well-organized and clutter-free space, making it easier to access the essentials and enjoy the heart of any home.

Weekly Recipe: Butternut Squash Risotto Butternut squash risotto combines the warm and comforting flavors of fall with the savory scent of holiday festivities. With its creamy texture and vibrant orange hues, it is the perfect dish to grace any holiday table!

Sea salt, fresh ground black pepper

Ingredients

Shaved Parmesan

2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil 1/2 butternut squash or sweet potato, diced

. . . STORAGE from page 6

York Public Library

1 leek, sliced 3 celery stalks, sliced 3 garlic cloves, grated or crushed 8 sage leaves or 1/2 tsp. dried sage 1-1/4 cups pearl barley 3-3/4 cups vegetable stock 1 oz. grated Parmesan cheese 5 cups mixed greens or spinach, chopped

To Serve (optional): Extra virgin olive oil, for frying 4 sage leaves 2 Tbsp. pumpkin seeds Lemon zest to taste

Directions Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or saucepan over medium heat. Add the squash, leek, and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften, 10 minutes. Stir in the garlic and sage, and cook until fragrant, 1 minute, then add the barley, followed by the vegetable stock. Bring to a gentle boil and cook, stirring occasionally, until the barley is al dente, 30 minutes. Add a splash of water if it gets too dry. Stir in the grated Parmesan, followed by the greens. Cook until the greens are just wilted, about 3 to 4 minutes. Season to taste. Serve with crispy sage leaves and

pumpkin seeds, if desired. Heat a splash of olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat, then drop in the sage leaves and pumpkin seeds and fry until crisp, 1 minute. Serve with Parmesan shavings and lemon zest. Risotto can be kept in the fridge for up to three days, or frozen (minus the greens) for up to one month. To make the dish 100% plantbased, switch the Parmesan out for 2 Tbsp. nutritional yeast or more, to taste. Recipe courtesy Blue Zone, www.bluezones.com/recipes.

The New School Reinvigorates Community Service Program KENNEBUNK In keeping with its 23-yearlong commitment to fostering community engagement and social responsibility, The New School in Kennebunk is pleased to announce the official relaunch of its “Giving Back Days” initiative. Rooted in the school’s democratic principles, the volunteer program encourages students to become active, engaged members of their community through meaningful service projects. Community service at The New School is designed around the philosophy that volunteering should stem from genuine desire, not mere obligation. There are no mandated hours or “onesize-fits-all” projects; instead, the school creates a variety of opportunities during regular school days, allowing students

KeyBank Supports Girl Scouts of Maine STATEWIDE Gi rl Scouts of Maine (GSME) is pleased to announce KeyBank as the premiere sponsor of their annual Transforming Leadership Conference, held on Saturday, November 4, at the University of Maine in Orono. The annual event, now in its 15th year, was an opportunity for Girl Scout members and non-members to come together, broaden connections, gain leadership skills, and engage in personal development through hands-on 60-minute workshops led by experts. Topics of these workshops included STEM, financial literacy, self-care, global issues, leadership styles, and so much more. “Today’s students are tomorrow’s business and community leaders, and KeyBank believes in supporting programs

that help students grow to become successful, contributing community members,” said KeyBank Business Banking Relationship Manager Joseph McLean, who works closely with GSME. “The ability to make sound financial decisions is a skill that all young people need, and we are proud to help bring that education to conference attendees through our sponsorship.” KeyBank’s Relationship Manager Sarah Brooks lead two workshops during the event, “Facilitating Financial Literacy,” and “Money Explorers & Budget Builders.” During both workshops, adult and youth attendees had the opportunity to build their financial understanding and money management skills. “We are so grateful to KeyBank for their unwavering sup-

port of the Transforming Leadership Conference, and their particular commitment to furthering knowledge of financial literacy, one of the most important facets of the Girl Scout Leadership Experience,” said Elizabeth Helton, GSME Highest Awards and Teen Experience Program Specialist. Girl Scouts bring their dreams to life and work together to build a better world. Girls of all backgrounds and abilities can discover their strengths and rise to meet new challenges. Backed by trusted adult volunteers, mentors, and millions of alums, Girl Scouts lead the way as they find their voices and make changes that affect the issues most important to them.

to explore different avenues for giving back. Faculty and staff participate as well, reinforcing the notion that helping others is a rewarding part of daily life. Since its founding in 2000, The New School has integrated volunteer work into its academic calendar, partnering with local organizations on a wide array of projects. From trail maintenance for conservation groups and winterizing homes for the elderly, to serving meals at the Preble Street Soup Kitchen and supporting the Animal Welfare Society, the school has always strived to show that “giving back” can take many forms. COVID-19 disrupted many of the school’s traditional service activities, but now, The New School is eager to reboot its community involvement. A studentled committee has been formed to help plan and execute these initiatives, starting with a nonfood drive benefiting Community Outreach Services, which will run until Thanksgiving. Moving forward, the school has designated one Friday per month for . . . PACT from page 19 care enrollments and scheduling, while social workers discussed caregiver support and extended-care services. Researchers explained how participating in studies may improve health outcomes for Veterans. “It was beneficial to me,” said Karen Bolden, an Army staff sergeant who served in Saudi Arabia in 1991. “These clinics were important to our community. I tried to start the claim process on my own but was so confused. Here, we’re around people with similar experiences, which makes you more comfortable with starting

Bipartisan Resolution Recognizing National Women’s Small Business Month NATIONWIDE U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), Chair of the U.S. Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship (SBC), and U.S. Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA), Ranking Member of the SBC, led a bipartisan group of Senators to introduce a resolution that recognizes the month of October as National Women’s Small Business Month. The resolution recently passed with unanimous support. “Women entrepreneurs are at the center of our economy creating new businesses, disrupting established industries and developing innovative products and platforms at a record pace.

Despite positive trends, women-owned businesses still face significant institutional barriers like lack of access to quality childcare, fewer role models and mentors, a gender pay gap and unequal access to startup funding and financing,” said Shaheen. “As a former small business owner, I know there is nothing that women cannot achieve if given an equal opportunity to compete. This resolution helps underscore our bipartisan commitment to help women-owned small businesses across the country reach their full economic and job-creating potential. Today – and every day – we must match that commitment with action.”

“ Un t i l 19 8 8 , wo m e n needed a male relative to co-sign if they wanted to apply for a business loan. Now, in 2023, more than 13 million women-owned small businesses across the country are working hard each and every day to serve customers, create jobs, and boost their local economies,” said Ernst. “I will continue working to improve accountability at the Small Business Administration, expand access to childcare slots in our communities, and enhance mentorship opportunities for budding beginners and seasoned entrepreneurs alike. When our local businesses thrive, so does our country!”

community service projects. The New School is actively seeking partners for winter and spring projects. With students residing in towns from Cumberland to Kittery, the school is looking to cast a wide net across southern Maine. Organizations and individuals who could benefit from a dedicated team of volunteers are encouraged to reach out for collaborations. In the latest Giving Back Day, students contributed to various projects, such as creating “Leave the leaves” signs for The Planeteers of Southern Maine, assisting with garden winterization at Never Done Farm in Arundel, and organizing storage space within the school itself. The New School is a democratic high school that empowers students to reach their fullest potential, love learning, and become responsible stewards of our world. For more information, email about the “Giving Back Days” initiative or to explore partnership opportunities, email thenewschool@tnsk.org, or call 207-985-3745

The resolution underscores the significant contributions of women small business owners and women entrepreneurs to the small business community as a whole: There are over $12 million women-owned businesses in the United States; Womenowned businesses generate $1.8 trillion in total receipts; Womenowned businesses employ over $9.2 million workers; and 38% of small business are womenowned.

the process. This took away the confusion and I got everything done today.” In the event’s final hours, county and federal executives huddled with their multi-agency workforce, which assisted twice as many Veterans than originally anticipated. “When we come together as a community, where our Veterans live, we get results,” said Kilmer. “This really showed what can happen when we bring our community together.” A r ticle cour tesy of www.va.gov.
