Hot Radio Maine’s Annual Turkey Giveaway Returns WELLS Hot Radio Maine has announced that its annual Thanksgiving free turkey giveaway is returning for the 11th consecutive year. This year’s giveaway consists of over 100 free turkeys to be handed out to area residents. The annual giveaway is a tentpole tradition for the radio station, resulting in over 2,000 free turkeys given away over the last decade. In conjunction with Maine’s Credit Unions, this year’s giveaway will be at the IGA in Wells, 1517 Post Road (U.S. Rte. 1). The giveaway starts at 11 a.m. on Tues-

day, November 21; turkeys will be handed out on a first come, first served basis while they last. As in previous years, there is no cost, no catch, and there are no strings attached to receiving a free turkey for Thanksgiv-

ing. Participants need only to show up at the Wells IGA starting 11 a.m., and turkeys will be given away while supplies last. As in previous years, Hot Radio Maine does respectfully request that those in need of assistance

According to Hot Radio Maine’s Program Director and Morning Host, Ryan Deelon, “This event has become a staple for our radio station and only continues to grow both in size and turnout every year. With the cost of everything rising around us, we know this holiday season could be hard for some people. We believe in supporting and giving back to our community and hopefully this free turkey giveaway can help some who may be struggling this Thanksgiving.” Hot Radio Maine is an award-winning station with

Wreaths Needed for the Graves of Eliot Veterans

ELIOT Area veterans are reaching out and asking for assistance in a public effort to honor and pay tribute to those who have sacrificed for the freedoms we all hold dear. Nearly a thousand of their comrades made the ultimate sacrifice while serving their country, and now lie buried in honor in the town’s two cemeteries, Mount Pleasant and Brooks Memorial. T he El iot com mu n it y partners with Wreaths Across America to make sure that every veteran’s grave is decorated with a wreath of remembrance by Saturday, December 16, as part of National Wreaths Across America Day. One hundred wreaths have been sold to date, and the town of Eliot is still in need of some 850 more wreaths to honor all graves of those who sacrificed for everyone’s free-

doms. The public is encouraged to help pay tribute to the dedication and sacrifice of these heroes by acquiring a wreath, ensuring each grave is properly adorned for the season. Sponsorship is as follows: individuals, $17 per wreath; families, $68 for four wreaths; small business, $170

for 10 wreaths, and corporate, $1,700 for 100 wreaths. The deadline for purchase is Tuesday, November 28. To sponsor a wreath, or for more information, visit the Eliot Connects Facebook page or the town’s website at www.eliotmaine.org.

In addition, children, pedestrians, joggers, walkers and bicyclists could be much less visible in the evenings. AAA also recommends vehicle owners take the time to restore or replace deteriorated headlight lenses. With 50% of crashes occurring at night, drivers should check their headlights for signs of deterioration and invest in new headlights or, at a minimum, a low-cost headlight cleaning and restoration kit to boost the safety of driving after dark. Headlights can show signs of deterioration after three years but most commonly by year five. AAA also recommends the following tips:

Researchers found that drivers who have slept fewer than five hours have a crash risk comparable to someone driving drunk. And missing just one to two hours of sleep can nearly double the crash risk. AAA recommends drivers adjust their habits behind the wheel and watch for children and others outdoors who will be less visible, especially during the first weeks of the time change. “To reduce the risk of drowsy driving in the days following the time change, drivers

~ Pets ~ Safe Haven Humane Society WELLS Mama Moo lived as a feral barn cat at a dairy farm with her six little kittens. When they were no longer wanted at the farm, Safe Haven stepped in and rescued Mama Moo and all her kittens. This shy, protective mother took a while to settle in at the Cattail farmhouse, no surprise, of course. A mother cat’s main

job is to protect her babies, and her entire world was turned upside down in this challenging new environment. However, her new environment was warm and safe, and she eventually settled in, caring for her little ones. All benefited from a secure and loving place to enjoy their kittenhood. Eventually, Safe Haven’s volunteers discovered t hat

Emma’s Angels Rescue NORTH BERWICK Calling all angels! We have a very special senior for adoption this week. Meet Roxie. Roxie is a senior girl from a high kill facility in Louisiana. She was surrendered by her daddy’s family after he went into hospice. Roxie is spayed and up to date on everything. She needs a family that will show her the love she deserves. Roxie is a gentle soul who just wants to go for walks and then cuddle on the couch. We think she is some kind of a Heeler mix, a pretty girl. If you can give Roxie a happy home, call us.

Mama Moo was keeping a little surprise. This two-year old tortoiseshell arrived pregnant with another litter on the way! After all kittens were adopted, Mama Moo settled into the shelter’s free-roaming community room at Cattail Farm. The large, open-beam room is a fantastic space above the carriage house where kitties develop socially at their own pace, with plenty of time to socialize, develop trust and to bond. Mama Moo received lots of love and attention from Safe Haven’s volunteers, and she has gotten to the point now where she will even accept treats. Mama Moo may still give a half hearted hiss, but once she realizes she is in no danger, she relaxes and lets people pet her. Mama Moo is overdue for a home for the holidays. She enjoys the company of 13 other cats in the room she lives in, so she will be fine with another cat or two in at home. Safe Haven

Windowsill Blooms All Winter Long

By Cheryl Farley, Staff Contributor So here we are. Cold is setting in. Gardens have been put to bed. Almost all the leaves have fallen. As the natural world around starts to turn shades of gray, the yearning for warmer, more colorful days can begin to creep in. To help stave off those cravings, the forcing of spring bulbs for indoor blooming during the coming weeks can be just the thing. Planting some paperwhite or amaryllis bulbs now can ensure a great gift or a windowsill full of cheer in time for the coming holidays. “Forcing” may sound a bit rough, but it actually just means tricking the bulbs to bloom out of season. The biggest trick may be figuring out how to schedule their arrival if hoping for a succession of blooms over the next few months. However, with a little effort, it is possible to have a garden of spring delights all winter long. Most bulbs require chilling for a period of time before they will bloom. However, amaryllis and paperwhites are tropical plants and do not need this step, making them the easiest to plan for a predictable bloom time. These bulbs are plentiful now in stores and online; as always be sure to procure from a reliable source. Once planted they grow

quickly. They make lovely gifts, either as starter kits or already in full bloom. Paperwhites offer delicate white mini blossoms with a very strong scent. Some love it, some not so much, so keep this in mind if presenting as a gift. Amaryllis are quite a bit bolder and come in a zillion varieties of colors and variegations. To plant, find a pretty clay pot, tin or ceramic planter, or any sturdy container that is deep enough to allow the roots to grow a few inches, while also allowing potting soil to cover the bulbs up to their necks. Fill a few inches with potting soil, place as many bulbs in the pot as can fit for a full display – or fewer depending on the desired outcome. It is not necessary to space as if planting outdoors. Next add more soil to cover the round part of the bulbs, leaving the pointy tops exposed. Then gently tamp down the soil and then water just enough to keep the soil evenly moist. Bulbs that sit in soggy soil will rot. Another option is to place single bulbs in individual glass vases or jars. There are specific forcing vases available that have been popular since Victorian times. They are

Winter storms can lead to power outages, making generators a crucial lifeline for both homes and businesses. The Outdoor Power Equipment Institute (OPEI), an international trade association, emphasizes the importance of safety when using generators during the winter months OPEI underscores the significance of following manufacturer instructions and prioritizing proper ventilation to ensure safe generator usage. The following are guidelines to maintaining and operating a generator efficiently and safely. Take stock of the generator. Before a storm hits, ensure the generator is in good working

order. Regular maintenance is crucial for reliable performance during power outages. Review the directions. Homeowners and their families should familiarize themselves with the manufacturer’s instructions and owner’s manuals to operate the equipment safely. Online resources can be accessed if physical manuals are unavailable. Install a carbon monoxide detector. Protect the home by installing a battery-operated carbon monoxide detector. This alarm will alert to dangerous levels of carbon monoxide, preventing potential harm. Use the right fuel. Adhere to the generator manufacturer’s

hourglass shaped and require no soil. Just keep the bottom of the vase filled with water for the roots – the bulb sits on the top portion of the vase. An array of colorful glass vases filled with spring flowers can offer quite a boost to ones’ spirits even on the darkest of days. If planting tulips, daffodils, hyacinth or smaller bulbs like crocus or grape hyacinth, a little more planning and work

is involved. These bulbs need to be planted and placed in a refrigerator, cold frame, chilly garage or basement for a certain amount of time. Be sure the temperatures do not fall below freezing. Daffodils only need two to three weeks of chilling and then will bloom within two to three weeks. Tulips, hyacinth and most others need 10-15 weeks of chill time. Crocus and hyacinth need about six to eight weeks. The bulbs can be chilled prior to planting or afterward. If using a refrigerator, be sure to keep bulbs away from any fruit, as ethylene gas from fruit will reduce blooms and possibly cause damage to the bulbs. Once the minimum time has passed, plant the bulbs (if not done already) and then move them to a warmer area with indirect sunlight. Once the roots start to show through the drain hole in the bottom of the container and the stems start to shoot up a couple of inches or so, place them in a warmer spot with direct sunlight. Most bulbs will bloom in a couple of weeks or so. Bulbs can stay chilled longer than the minimum requirement, so bringing them up in succession over the winter will allow for a constant supply of sunny sensations and sweet fragrances. Cheers!

recommended fuel type. It is illegal to use fuel with more than 10% ethanol in outdoor power equipment. Ensure fresh fuel, and add stabilizer if using fuel stored for more than 30 days. Ensure proper ventilation. Generators should never be used indoors, even with open doors or windows. Place them a safe distance from structures and ventilation openings to prevent carbon monoxide from entering enclosed spaces. Keep the generator dry. Avoid using a generator in wet conditions. Cover and vent the generator, and consider purchasing model-specific tents or covers for added protection. Refuel safely. Only add fuel to a cool generator. Turn it off and let it cool down before refueling to prevent accidents. Charge battery-powered generators and inverters properly. Follow manufacturer specifications for recharging batterypowered generators. Use the designated charger and avoid charging outside the recommended temperature range. Plug in safely. If using extension cords, ensure they are heavy-duty and designed for outdoor use. Directly plug appliances into the generator or use an extension cord rated to handle the connected loads. Install a transfer switch. Connect the generator to the circuit panel using a transfer switch for hard-wired appliances. Most transfer switches display wattage usage levels, helping to avoid overload. Avoid backfeeding. Never attempt to “backfeed” power into one’s home’s electrical system See GENERATOR on page 26 . . .

Edward Charles Chapin, 64

Albert Emile Charpentier, 89

NORTH BERWICK – It is with heavy hearts that we announce the unexpected and peaceful passing of Ed Chapin at his home. He leaves behind a legacy of love, kindness, and vibrant spirit. Ed is sur vived by his mother, Dorris Cole Emery, of North Berwick. He is lovingly remembered by his sisters, Marjorie R. Chapin of North Berwick, and Kathleen J. Chapin and her husband Wayne E. Berry of Kennebunk; brother Peter D. Emery of Portsmouth NH; along with several nieces and nephews whom he loved very much. He is predeceased by his father, Merle R. Chapin, in 2020. Ed had a nomadic spirit and a curiosity and zest for all life had to offer. After high school, he served in the United States Army, worked on oil rigs in Oklahoma, cooked in several restaurants in the ski areas of Colorado and followed the Grateful Dead for many years. Eventually life brought him back to Maine. Ed was a lifelong learner, earning a BA in Sociology from the University of Southern Maine in 1992, followed by a Master’s degree in Sociology from University of New Hampshire. He went on to teach in both universities all while pursuing a PhD. He was an avid reader, a history buff, an animal lover, a loyal Red Sox fan and in recent years, a tea connoisseur. His last 10 years were spent being a caregiver to his father prior to his passing and more recently, his mother. Above all, Ed will be remembered for his selfless nature, always putting the needs of others before himself in his journey through life. He touched the hearts of many and leaves a void that can never be filled. To know him was to love him. May he rest in eternal peace, surrounded by the love and gratitude he so deserves. Services will be held at Bethel Christian Church, 129 Lower Main Street, North Berwick, on Saturday, November 25 at 11 a.m. A luncheon will directly follow the service. Please join the family to celebrate Ed’s life. In lieu of f lowers, donations can be made to Another Chance Animal Rescue, PO Box 552, North Berwick, ME 03906. Arrangements are entrusted to the Johnson Funeral Home in North Berwick. Condolences may be expressed at www.johnsonfuneralhomeme.com. • • • • • • • • • •

WELLS – Albert Emile Charpentier of Wells, a house painter who brought artistry and tradecraft to his life’s work, died Friday, November 10, 2023, surrounded by family following a brief illness. He was 89 and had the recent good fortune of attending his oldest grandson’s 50th birthday party. Al’s career spanned six decades, during which he painted homes, churches, bridges, and businesses. He came of age in a time when the Occupational Safety and Health Administration was just a twinkle in a bureaucrat’s eye, and he thought nothing of applying gold leaf to a church steeple with only a ladder beneath him. In 1965, Al and his coworkers “monkeyed” the Waldo-Hancock Bridge, working without a net – although occasionally with a hangover – as they sprayed the 165-foot-high span straddling the Penobscot River. Good fortune had Al’s back one afternoon on the job. He was one of three painters who were f lung into the water when their staging collapsed while they were spraying the Dover Point Bridge above the Piscataqua River in New Hampshire. A lthough aluminum kickers had come into common use as staging support by the 1960s, the painters were using wooden ones on this job. When they bobbed to the surface, they grabbed the floating kickers and clung to them until a nearby boater picked them up. If it were not for those wooden kickers, Al said, none of the painters, one of whom was injured in the fall, would have survived the Piscataqua’s currents. Al’s life was marked by faith in fortune. When he was 21 years old he made his first visit to Scarborough Downs, unleashing a passion that would see him through his days. Over the years, he dabbled as well in dog racing, sports betting, lotteries, and in later years, scratch tickets. On one occasion, he won a bet from a co-worker by ap-

Established in 1947

plying a full coat of paint to the man’s car during lunch break, using a six-inch brush. Few gamblers get rich, many go broke. Al held his own. Al was born in Sanford on August 17, 1934, to Alfred and Alexina (Therrien) Charpentier. He attended St. Ignatius School. Not one for the classroom, he went to work for his father while in his teens. It was during this apprenticeship that he nurtured the skills that would set him apart from so many other painters. Alfred Charpentier did not believe in rollers and taught young Al how to apply paint to walls with a brush as smoothly as if it had been rolled on. Nor was it possible in those days to buy colors of every conceivable shade. Al learned to match any paint or stain, whether on a color card, a faded wall, or heirloom furniture. Sometimes Al would be too painstaking for his old-school father, who would urge him on, saying, “Al-by, it will never be a church.” Du r i ng t he heyday of Sanford’s textile industry, Al had second thoughts about a painting career, and one winter took a job in one of the mills. He lasted less than half a day. It was snowing and the foreman needed to make room for the plow. “Carpy,” he said, “you gotta move your car.” “No problem,” Al said. That was the last they saw of him. Al returned to work for his father and eventually found his way to F.A. Gray in Portsmouth, NH. Laid off in the mid-1970s and by now raising a family in Ogunquit, Al nervously hung out his own shingle, and started his own business. He need not have worried, as Al was busy ever after. “The only problem,” he observed years later, “is that the painter is the last one on the job. If they’re going to run out of money, that’s when.” At the age of 76 Al turned over the business, now known as G.A.C. Painting, to his older son, Gary, a perfectionist in his own right. Al was predeceased by

MCINTIRE-MCCOOEY FUNERAL HOME

his wife Sharon (Gross) Charpentier of Ogunquit; his former wife Joyce (Day) Goodfield of Wells; and two siblings, Jeanette Bailey of Wells and Maurice Charpentier of Hampton, NH. The gathering at his bedside during the last week of his life attested to his lifelong devotion to his family. He leaves behind four children, Gary Charpentier and his partner Shealagh Mizzoni, Tracy Charpentier and his wife Michelle, Kathy Fraser and her husband Jerry, all of Wells, and Kelly Muse of South Berwick; eight grandchildren, Jason Bedell and his wife Wendy, Daniel Charpentier and his wife Emma, and Alie Charpentier, all of Wells, Matthew Charpentier and Luke Charpentier, both of York, Christina Muse of South Berwick, Olivia Muse and her partner Alexander Staples of Arundel, and Leah Lavalla and her husband Skyler of Rhode Island; six great-grandchildren, Logan, Hayden, and Regan Bedell, all of Wells, and Elias Bouramia, Asher Bouramia, and Ina Lavalla, all of Rhode Island; and a chocolate Labrador retriever, Gibbs.

The Weekly Sentinel 15

~ Arts & Entertainment ~ The Nutcracker Returns to the STAR Theatre KITTERY The Dance Annex is kicking off the holiday season with The Nutcracker at Kittery’s STAR Theatre. Artistic Director Julie Hebb and her company of dancers bring this classic holiday story to life for two weekends, November 24 - 26 and December 2 - 3. Follow Clara on her magical journey to the Land of the Sweets in this spectacular production that is sure to delight audiences of all ages! Ms. Hebb, a former principal dancer of the New York City-based Rebecca Kelly Ballet, founded The Dance Annex in 2012 with the aim to “foster sustained support for the dance arts” and build a community of dancers and dance enthusiasts. The Nutcracker was the studio’s first full-length classical production when it premiered in 2016, and has become an annual tradition for families throughout the Seacoast. “This will be our seventh Nutcracker season at the STAR and we are so thrilled to be back – for two weekends and with two wonderful casts!” shared Hebb. “2023 has been a big year of growth for us. We expanded our studio space in York over the summer, which has allowed us more room to dance and create. We have over fifty students in our cast this year and dancers joining us from all around the Seacoast and as far away as Greenville and New York City!”

Once again, this year’s production will be a star-studded event, with new and returning guest artists joining members of Annex Contemporary Dance Company, the studio’s resident troupe of professionals, in featured roles. Guest artists Naomi Sawyer of Northeastern Ballet Theatre and Assaf Benchetrit, formerly of The Joffrey Ballet, will return as the Sugar Plum Fairy and Cavalier on November 24 and 26, and will dance as the Snow Queen and Snow King on December 2 and 3. Special guests Kirsten Evans and Alex Lantz, most recently with Ballet Rhode Island, will dance the Grande Pas on December 2 and 3. Spotlight Award-winner Don Goettler will star as the mysterious toymaker Drosselmeyer, and Ian Rodgers and Jonathan Donahue will alternate as the beloved Nutcracker Prince. Seventh-graders Caroline Guay of Kittery and Allison Grassie of Rochester, NH will share the role of Clara. Other featured roles will be danced by local favorites Angela Grassie, Shelbea Makela, Nathan Moyer, Olivia Robbins, Stephanie Salmi-Pepin, Meghan McCoy Seedner, and Janelle Abbott Staley. A special Land of the Sweets Meet & Greet will follow Saturdays’ matinee performances, giving audience members the chance to speak with cast members and view the costumes up close.

“We are so fortunate to have an amazing group of local professional dancers in the company and in our community, and to bring in our exceptional guest artists. Everyone is working so hard, and we can’t wait to share this special show with our audiences!” The Dance A nnex invites Seacoast families to begin their holiday season with The Nutcracker. Performances are Friday, November 24, Sunday, November 26, Saturday, December 2 and Sunday, December 3, with shows at 1 p.m. and 6 p.m. Tickets are $34 for adults and $26

for seniors and children. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit www.

~ Arts & Entertainment ~ “Clue” Onstage at WHS WELLS The Wells High School (WHS) Players are proud to present their fall play, “Clue,” for four performances beginning Wednesday, November 29. WHS stage producer Ryan Lane and director Andrew Lopez were instrumental in bringing this hilarious, who-done-it comedy to the Olenn Performing Arts Center at WHS. “The directing team of the Wells Players is excited about the chance to produce ‘Clue Onstage: High School Edition’,” commented Lopez. “We have a talented, dedicated ensemble cast and crew who are making

the rehearsal process a joy to lead!” According to Director Lopez, there are 32 students involved in this production. “Based on the iconic 1985 Paramount movie which was inspired by the classic Hasbro board game, ‘Clue’ is a hilarious farce-meets-murder mystery. The tale begins at a remote mansion, where six mysterious guests assemble for an unusual dinner party where murder and blackmail are on the menu. When their host turns up dead, they all become suspects,” as described by broadwaylicensing.com. Cast members include

Maine Author a Hit in Hollywood WELLS W he n t he Hol ly wood Book Festival Awards were announced in Los Angeles on August 29 of this year, Wells author Steve Burt’s novel won, big time. “Protect the Queen,” a fantasy thriller set in Southern Maine, won top honors as Best Sequel of 2023. With Wells, Kennebunk, and Sanford/Springvale as the backdrop, “Protect the Queen” takes up where Burt’s first novel, “The Bookseller’s Daughter,” left off. “Protect the Queen” follows a trio of on-the-run descendants of an ancient, human-like race – the Allagash Gargouilles – as they once again seek the help of a Wells bookseller, her daughter, and three Wells cops, in keeping their three newborns alive. When asked about the possibility of any film or streaming offers from his books, Dr. Burt, a retired Congregational pastor, said, “It’d be cool to get an offer and even better to see it filmed right around here. The story takes place in September and October during foliage time. Early scenes take place at Spiller Farm’s orchards and at Drake’s Island beach. Later scenes include Mt. Katahdin, Millinocket Lake, and Chesuncook Village.” Burt continued, “There’s no guarantee of a movie offer, but this Hollywood Book Festival win is a big deal. The festival’s stated purpose is ‘to highlight books that deserve greater recognition from the film, television game and multimedia communities.’ The grand prize winner this year is a Charlie Chaplin biography from Simon & Schuster Publishing. That’s a major publisher presenting a topic of interest, so I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s already an offer out there to make it into a biopic. I’m just a retired smallchurch pastor and a small-potatoes Maine author. But then again, so was my old Bangor Seminary neighbor (Stephen King), when he was discovered. I can’t control things, I can only

Tips for Picking a Health Pla During Open Enrollment NATIONWIDE Taking place between November 1 and December 15, with some flexibility for enrollment until the end of January, open enrollment is the only time of year – besides qualifying life events – when people can update or choose a new health plan. While millions of Americans are offered health coverage through their employer, there is a massive and growing segment of the workforce who work for themselves: gig workers, freelancers, contractors, consultants and more, who need to shop for their own health plans. Independent workers deserve the same financial security as full-time employees, and the right health insurance is a key component of that. To help participants find affordable, high-value coverage this open enrollment period, digital health company Stride Health offers the following tips: Consider health needs. Assess the family’s health needs for the upcoming year. If participants only use benefits for preventative care and the seldom urgent care visit, then they might be able to get away with a high deductible plan. If one sees specialists regularly, then they may want to consider paying a higher premium to save on outof-pocket expenses. Likewise, if anyone in the family takes prescription medications regularly, members may want to factor in drug coverage on any plans considered. Shop with providers that make it easy to check whether their doctors and med-

ications are covered by the plan before enrolling in a new plan. Identify the budget. Review the household’s monthly net income to determine how much can be budgeted out to the health plan, keeping in mind that most health plans do not cover adult dental and vision. The good news is that coverage is likely more affordable than expected. In fact, perceived affordability is the number one barrier in accessing health coverage. In a Stride Health survey, 80% of gig workers who do not have health coverage said that they think health insurance costs more than $100 per family member. But in reality, 72% of gig workers who have insurance say they spend less than $100 per family member on coverage. Understand the plan. Participants want to feel confident about the plan they choose. Educate family members on costs and structure, including monthly premium, the deductible, the annual out-of-pocket maximum, co-pays, and such details as whether a referral is needed to see a specialist. Opt for a Qualified Health Plan that covers preventive care, basic primary care and has no maximum out of pocket on emergency care. Avoid short-term medical plans or products like cancer or accident insurance, which have limited scopes of coverage. Lower the premium. Some may be eligible for a lower premium through a subsidy. Also known as an advanced premium tax credit, this refundable tax credit offered by the government helps eligible individuals and families with moderate to low

NFPA Urges Caution When Preparing Thanksgiving Meal NATIONWIDE The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) urges added caution when cooking on Thanksgiving Day, by far the leading day of the year for home cooking fires. In 2021, an estimated 1,160 home cooking fires were reported to U.S. Fire Departments on Thanksgiving Day, reflecting a 297% increase over the daily average. “Thanksgiving is a hectic holiday with multiple dishes cooking and baking at the same time, along with lots of guests, income afford health insurance. Thanks to these credits, 45% of insured gig workers report paying $0 on premiums. Another 27% report paying between $1 to $100 per family member for health insurance. Cost Sharing Reductions, another form of financial assistance that works on Silver plans, could save thousands in medical costs. Shop around. Picking the right plan can be complicated and confusing. But there are companies out there to help. Stride brings all costs front and center for the individual so there are no surprises when they go to the doctors or fill a prescription. Members can also get trusted tips and advice from Stride Health’s blog and website. It is important to remember that health care needs and plan details can change. Spending a little time each open enrollment to pick the right plan for individuals and their families can save money and ensure they get the care needed at an affordable price.

entertaining, and other distractions that can make it easy to lose sight of what’s on the stove or in the oven,” said Lorraine Carli, vice president of Outreach and Advocacy at NFPA. “With all these factors at play, it’s not surprising that the number of cooking fires spikes so dramatically.” Overall, cooking is the leading cause of U.S. home fires and injuries, and the second-leading cause of home fire deaths. Unattended cooking is the leading contributing factor in cooking fires and fire deaths. “Keeping a close eye on what’s cooking and minimizing the likelihood of getting distracted are key steps people can take to ensure a festive, fire-free holiday,” said Carli. The following are additional tips and recommendations from NFPA to help cook safely on Thanksgiving: Never leave the kitchen while cooking on the stovetop. Some types of cooking, especially those that involve frying or sautéing with oil, need continuous attention. When cooking a turkey, remain at home and check it regularly. Make use of timers to keep track of cooking times, particularly for foods that require longer cook times. Keep things that can catch fire like oven mitts, wooden utensils, food wrappers, and towels at least three feet away from the cooking area. Avoid long sleeves and hanging fabrics that can come in contact with a heat source. Always cook with a lid beside the pan. If a small grease fire starts, smother the f lames

by sliding the lid over the pan, then turn off the burner. Do not remove the cover because the fire could start again. Let the pan cool for a long time For an oven fire, turn off the heat and keep the door closed. Only open the door once confident the fire is completely out, standing off to the side. If there are any doubts or concerns, contact the fire department for assistance. Keep children and pets at least three feet away from the stove and areas where hot food or drink is prepared or carried. Hot foods and liquids should be placed away from table and counter edges. I n a d d i t io n , N F PA strongly discourages the use of turkey fryers that use cooking oil, which can cause devastating burns. For a safe alternative, NFPA recommends purchasing a fried turkey from a grocery store or restaurant or buying a fryer that does not use oil. Founded in 1896, NFPA is a global, self-funded, nonprofit organization devoted to eliminating death, injury, property and economic loss due to fire, electrical and related hazards. The association delivers information and knowledge through more than 300 consensus codes and standards, research, training, education, outreach and advocacy; and by partnering with others who share an interest in furthering the NFPA mission.

Health & Fitness Call for Expansion of Food Allowance for Active Duty Servicemembers and Families NATIONWIDE U.S. Senator Angus King, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC), is joining 18 of his colleagues in calling for an expanded food allowance for servicemembers and their families to be included in the upcoming annual defense legislation. In a bipartisan, bicameral letter to the leadership of the Senate and House Armed Services Committees, the Senators urged them to expand servicemember eligibility for the Basic Needs Allowance (BNA) in the Fiscal Year 2024 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). According to a July 2022 study from the Office of the Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness, 24% of all active duty servicemembers experienced some level of food insecurity over the prior 12 months. As it is currently implemented, the BNA reaches fewer than 3,000 servicemembers. “Our servicemembers are our military’s greatest resource,” SASC members wrote. “When they experience hunger, we put our national security at risk. We must give members of our military every possible tool to focus on the mission and be ready to defend our Nation when called to action. As you negotiate during conference and reconcile the differences between the House and Senate bills, we urge you to do right by our servicemembers and their families, who sacrifice considerably when they volunteer to serve.” The BNA program provides a monthly allowance to qualified eligible low-income active duty servicemembers with dependents. This allowance assists military families with accessing basic needs, such as food. The expanded program will address the growing number of servicemembers who are food insecure and will support long-term efforts in solving military hunger. Representing one of the states with the highest rates of veterans per capita, Senator King has been a staunch advocate for America’s servicemembers and veterans. Earlier this year, Senator King cosponsored bipartisan legislation to address food insecurity challenges across the military. This year he also introduced a bipartisan bill to help military spouses build successful careers while their family members serve the country, and in last year’s NDAA, he helped secure a basic needs allowance for servicemembers below 150% of the

federal poverty guidelines to assist them with affording basic necessities, particularly food. The letter in its entirety: “Dear Chairman Reed, R an k i ng Member Wicker, Chairman Rogers, and Ranking Member Smith: We write to request that the final version of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2024 (NDAA) include Section 621 of the House bill (“Basic needs allowance: exclusion of basic allowance for housing from the calculation of gross household income of eligible member of the Armed Forces”) and ask that the Senate recede with respect to Section 605 of the Senate bill (“Modification of calculation of gross household income for basic needs allowance to address areas of demonstrated need”). This legislation will best address the needs of the substantial number of servicemembers and their families who are food insecure, as identified in recent data and reporting by the DoD. The BNA program, established by Congress in the FY2022 NDAA, provides a monthly allowance to qualified servicemembers to make up the difference between their gross household income and the income needed for members of the household to attain a modest yet adequate standard of living (currently the eligibility criteria and benefits are aligned with 150 percent of the federal poverty level). This allowance addresses readiness, retention and recruitment challenges resulting from the scourge of food insecurity among our active duty military families, a growing problem that Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin has prioritized addressing. In July 2022, the Office of the Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness released a new analysis suggesting that previous assessments have underestimated the size of the problem and the number of servicemembers enduring food insecurity. Rather than the 0.1 percent of the force

Maine CF Establishes LewistonAuburn Area Response Fund

previously identified as food insecure, the updated analysis showed that 24 percent of all active duty servicemembers – approximately 286,800 individuals – experienced some level of food insecurity during the previous 12-month period, with junior enlisted servicemembers facing the highest risk. Similar rates of food insecurity among active duty military households have been documented in the Status of Forces Spouses Survey, reporting by the RAND Corporation and several different surveys conducted by national military service organizations. As it is currently implemented, the BNA reaches fewer than 3,000 servicemembers, just a tiny fraction of the 286,000 who are estimated to experience food insecurity. The most significant issue limiting the reach of this program is the counting of the Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) as income for most servicemembers. Food insecurity is a problem that impacts servicemembers at every duty station in the United States, and BAH should be categorically excluded as counted income for the BNA, as has been recommended with broad bipartisan support in House-passed NDAA bills during the past three cycles. This common-sense adjustment to the eligibility guidelines for the BNA will help ensure the majority of military families who struggle with food insecurity are able to access this critical support. By including Section 621 from the House bill (“Basic needs allowance”) in the final version of the NDAA, Congress can expand much-needed access to the BNA during a time when hundreds of thousands of servicemembers struggle to put food on their tables for themselves and their families. As such, we request that the House provision to expand eligibility for the BNA be included in the final FY2024 NDAA to strengthen the BNA program and adequately address the substantial need identified in the DoD’s own assessments. Our servicemembers are

STATEWIDE The Maine Community Foundation (MaineCF) has established the Lewiston-Auburn Area Response Fund in response to the devastating mass shooting events on October 25 in Lewiston. The fund will collect and allocate donations to support victims of Maine’s worst gun tragedy on record and the organizational efforts that will help heal the city. Ad i la h Mu ha m mad, MaineCF board chair and Lewiston resident said, “We are heartbroken at this unspeakable violence, right here at home. The Maine Community Foundation our military’s greatest resource. When they experience hunger, we put our national security at risk. We must give members of our military every possible tool to focus on the mission and be ready to defend our Nation when called to action. As you negotiate during conference and reconcile the differences between the House and Senate bills, we urge you to do right by our servicemembers and their families, who sacrifice considerably when they volunteer to serve. Thank you for your consideration of this request, and we look forward to working with you on this matter.”

is stepping up to help ensure that the community has the resources to respond to this terrible tragedy.” “We are in grief, disbelief, and shock,” said MaineCF President and CEO Deborah Ellwood. “This fund provides an avenue for those who wish to help those impacted in the Lewiston-Auburn area. We must support each other and care for one another in this difficult time for our state.” Donations may be made to victims and survivors or to the broader recovery effort at MaineCF.org or by mail to: Lewiston-Auburn Area Response Fund, Maine Community Foundation, 245 Main St. Ellsworth, ME 04605. Donations to the Lewiston-Auburn Area Response Fund will be distributed with deep community guidance, including from MaineCF’s statewide board, engagement by MaineCF’s Androscoggin County Committee and community steering committees. MaineCF administrative fees will be waived, and 100% of donations will go to support victims and the community. For more information, visit www.mainecf.org.

~ Dining ~ Weekly Recipe: Turkey Pot Pie Thanksgiving is next week, and what to do with all that leftover turkey? This quick and easy recipe for a turkey pot pie should help!

For the Filling Ingredients: 2 cups cooked turkey, shredded or diced 1 cup mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, green beans, anything left over from the Big Meal) 1/3 cup butter 1/3 cup all-purpose ﬂour 1/2 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. black pepper

Roll out one of the pie crusts and place it in the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish. Add the turkey and vegetable mixture. Roll out the second pie crust and place over the ﬁlling. Trim excess crust and crimp edges to seal. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. Cool for a few minutes before serving.

For the Pie Crust

1/4 tsp. celery seed

Ingredients:

1/4 tsp. onion powder

2-1/2 cups all-purpose ﬂour

1/4 tsp. dried thyme 1-3/4 cups chicken broth 2/3 cup milk 1 package refrigerated pie crusts, or homemade (see additional recipe below)

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small cubes 1 tsp. salt 1 tsp. granulated sugar 1/4 to 1/2 cup ice water

Directions:

Directions: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the ﬂour, salt, black pepper, celery seed, onion powder, and dried thyme until well combined. Gradually whisk in chicken broth

and milk. Continue cooking and stirring until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil, creating a creamy sauce. Stir in the cooked turkey and mixed vegetables, making sure they are well coated. Remove the saucepan from the heat.

Cut the butter into small cubes and place in refrigerator. Fill a cup with ice water. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, and sugar. Add the chilled butter cubes. Use a pastry cutter or ﬁngers to work the butter

into the fl our until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. The goal is to have pea-sized butter pieces in the mixture. Gradually add ice water to the mixture, a few tablespoons at a time. Use a fork or hands to mix the dough until it just begins to come together. Be careful not to overwork. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Gather the dough together and divide in half, if making a double-crust pie. Chill the dough. Form each half into a disc, wrap them in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This chilling process helps relax the gluten and makes the crust more tender. Once the dough has chilled, roll it out on a floured surface and transfer to the pie dish.

FINANCE & CAREER Funds to Strengthen Rural Infrastructure, Job Creation

NATIONWIDE U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Secretary Tom Vilsack recently announced that USDA is investing $808 million to help rural cooperatives and utilities build and improve upon electric infrastructure. The investment aims to increase electric grid reliability and security for those in rural areas, and will also help provide clean drinking water and sanitary wastewater systems in those areas. The announcement benefits nearly 480,000 people across 36 states and two U.S. territories. The funding announced aims to help rebuild infrastructure, driving manufacturing and clean energy investments, and building a clean-energy economy that will help combat climate change and make rural communities more resilient. “USDA invests in rural America because we know strong communities are rooted in their people,” Secretary Vilsack said. “Powering people with modern infrastructure creates good-paying jobs and supports opportunities for people to build brighter futures. The investments we’re announcing demonstrate the

Biden-Harris Administration’s commitment to ensuring that people who live and work in rural areas have every opportunity to succeed – and that they can find those opportunities right at home.” T h e i nve s t m e n t s a n nounced will help those living in Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Ca li for n ia, F lor ida, Iowa, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, M a ssachu se t t s, M ich iga n, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, Nevada, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Ver-

The funding will go toward expanding and improving safety training and injury prevention programs for the next generation of New England fishermen and women. “The MCCF plays a pivotal role in bridging the gaps between fishermen and women, scientific insights, and effective policy-making,” said both senaSee FUNDS on page 26 . . .

Slovenski Among Honorees for NCAA Woman of the Year Award

STATEWIDE Established in 1991, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Woman of the Year Award award recognizes female student-athletes who have completed their undergraduate studies and distinguished themselves in their community, in athletics and in academics throughout their college careers. Selected from a recordbreaking 619 nominees submitted by member schools – a group that was then narrowed to 164 nominees at the conference level – the top 30 honorees include ten athletes from each of the three NCAA divisions. Each honoree has demonstrated excellence in academics, athletics, commu-

nity service and leadership. The honorees represent 15 sports, including two student-athletes who will represent NCAA Emerging Sports for Women. They have a variety of majors, including national security and intelligence, neuroscience, economics, civil

engineering, education, nursing, computer science and business management. “We are thrilled to celebrate the student-athletes who surpassed the standard of excellence on their campus, in their community and on their teams,” said Renie Shields, chair of the Woman of the Year Selection Committee and senior associate athletics director/senior woman administrator at Saint Joseph’s College in Standish. “This decorated and diverse group represents the thousands of women competing in college sports each year and are contributing to the ongoing growth of women’s sports.” One such honoree is Sophia Glory Slovenski, from the University of Southern Maine DiviSee NCAA on page 29 . . .

Sea Bags Named A Legacy Business

York River Stewardship Committee Appointed, Coordinator Hired YORK COUNTY Earlier this year, the towns of York, Eliot, Kittery, and South Berwick appointed eleven

STATEWIDE The Small Business Act (SBA) was founded by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1953 when he signed the landmark act, which established the agency and made it a policy to support and protect the interests of small businesses. As part of the SBA’s celebration of the 70th anniversary as a Federal Agency, the agency selected one “Legacy Business” from each state. In Maine, Sea Bags was selected to receive this recognition. “Here in Maine we are especially aware of the importance of small businesses to our communities and our economy,” said SBA Maine District Director Diane Sturgeon. “Having the opportunity to recognize a business like Sea Bags, that has grown so much while staying true to its values and maintaining an ethos that a rising tide raises all boats, is a great honor.” Sea Bags manufactures totes and other accessories from reclaimed sail material in its Portland facility, which are sold at its 50 company stores across the country, in addition to sales accounts with other retailers. Since its incorporation by founder Beth Greenlaw in 2005,

Sea Bags has grown to support over 200 employees and has diverted millions of pounds of sail material from the waste stream. The company was selected by the SBA as a Legacy Business because of its continued commitment to sustainability at all levels, providing quality jobs with benefits, support of other small businesses, and support of community initiatives. CEO Don Oakes met with the SBA at the Sea Bags store on Portland’s Commercial Street in August to accept the recognition. U.S. Small Business Administrator Isabella Casillas Guzman states, “America’s small businesses are giants in our economy – creating jobs and making the products and services that define our every-

day lives. For 70 years, the U.S. Small Business Administration has helped entrepreneurs gain the know-how and the funding to start and grow. And we’ve stepped in when disasters disrupt the market to make sure that not only small businesses recover, but that the communities they serve do too. The results are undeniable: In the seven decades since its founding, the SBA has financed billions, fueled some of our most iconic brands and innovative industries, and helped millions of hopeful entrepreneurs realize their American Dreams of business ownership. We have ensured competition and innovation through entrepreneurship to fuel the world’s strongest and largest economy.” For more information, visit www.seabags.com and www. sba.gov.

Committee meetings are held on the fourth Tuesday of the month and are open to the public. The committee is the local partner and convener responsible for implementing the Partnership Wild and Scenic River designation for York River. Its creation was prompted by the December 2022 legislation that designated York River into the national Wild and Scenic Rivers System. The committee received its first round of annual funding through a cooperative agreement with the National Park Service, the federal agency partner for all rivers in the Partnership Wild and Scenic Rivers Program. After conducting a national search, the committee selected Jennifer Hunter as its watershed program coordinator. Hunter

served as coordinator for the earlier Wild and Scenic River study phase and was instrumental in developing the York River Watershed Stewardship Plan and helping achieve the national designation for the river. In the near term, Jennifer will work with the committee to identify and develop high priority projects for the group to undertake with the newly awarded federal funds. The committee also will establish a grant program to support local activities that enable communities to protect, enjoy, and benefit from a healthy river and watershed. The national Wild and Scenic River designation for York River was the focus of a recent News Center Maine “207” story. Reporter Don Carrigan toured the river and spoke at length with several York River Stewardship committee members. The resulting story aired on Wednesday, October 11.

FUNDS from page 25 tors in a joint statement. “This investment will help keep our young fishermen and women safe while also protecting the sustainability of our fisheries.” The MCCF is a non-profit organization that works to secure a safe fishing future for the communities of Eastern Maine and beyond. To that end, the organization has launched a comprehensive three-year plan aimed at enhancing safety measures in Maine fisheries. Under this plan, the MCCF will provide safety and survival training for 250 future fishermen and women

from high schools, particularly those located near commercial lobster fishing zones and with high poverty and unemployment rates, in Hancock, Washington, and Knox counties. The MCCF also intends to train two additional qualified drill conductor instructors in eastern Maine, and deploy crucial training materials. This initiative aims to instill a culture of safety-conscious behavior, effectively reducing injury risks and ensuring a secure and sustainable future for Maine’s commercial fishing industry.

game for the Bulldogs. Off a great through ball from Griffin Demers (Rochester, NH), Metcalf carried it up the field, took a shot, and the Concord goalie saved it – but the ball ricocheted and Metcalf ended up burying it in the back of the net. Ten minutes later, goalkeeper Allie Moore (North Berwick) made an impressive save by punching the ball up and away from the goal. This was one of the nine saves she made in the first half. The second half of the game brought an equal level of intensity from both teams. With twenty minutes left on the clock, goalkeeper Alexa Garcia (Dover,

NH) made a beautiful diving save, preventing what easily could have been Concord’s chance to tie the score. Ten minutes after that, a Concord offensive player carried the ball almost all the way to the goal, attempted to take a shot, but Garcia grabbed the ball again with composure. With five minutes left, senior Ginger Friedman (North Hampton, NH) hit a great head ball on frame, but the Concord goalie made the save. Berwick Academy 0 Pingree School 2 The Bulldogs traveled to Pingree School on Friday, November 10, as the fourth seed in the EIL tournament. BA played a strong defensive game but

Pingree still won 2-0. Pingree’s Highlanders secured their first goal four minutes into the game. Moore played a very strong first half in the net before playing on the field. While in net, she made a few diving saves in the fifth and eighth minutes, punching the ball out both times. With 22 minutes on the clock in the first half, Moore made an impressive save when she caught Pingree’s corner kick. In the very last minute of the half, Pingree took a strong shot that ricocheted off the post and then off Moore’s head. The entire Bulldog team worked in a steady, consistent, and calm fashion as they kept the Pingree team frustrated and unable to penetrate their defense in many instances. Garcia made a great diving save with 19 minutes on the clock. Five minutes later, Pingree scored their second goal. The Bulldogs are now 12-4-4 on the season. Having only lost to class B opponents, BA now qualifies for the NEPSAC Class C Tournament as the 5th seed. They played Greens Farms Academy at Deerfield Academy (a neutral site) on Wednesday, November 15.
