Spirit of Giving Helps make Dreams Come True By Pat Sommers Staff Columnist OGuNQuIT – Christmas morning would be a lot different without the Ogunquit Spirit of Giving, according to Brian Linden, a member of the committee that heads up the community initiative to make the holidays special for children-inneed of Maine. Now in its eighth year, the volunteer-driven Spirit of Giving project provides to local residents and business owners the holiday wish lists of children who face

border patrols, and even international crime-fighting agencies. They know with tightening budgets, they need to continue to adapt the uses of their high-tech machinery beyond the military. “We have to compete againt the world’s best,” Geoff said. “So we decided after Fukushima (Daiichi nuclear disaster) to develop our robotic response capability.” The RS1 is a simple robot that can travel 5 mph with a base platform upon which are designed attachments. The RS1 E1, or Eagle Eye, is a surveillance robot with an infrared camera with zoom lens used for reconnaissance. The RS1 T1, or Thermite, has the same base platform with a firefighting attachment

ished ballistics testing on it Saturday,” Geoff said. “The ballistic armor just got painted yesterday (Monday).” Howe and Howe Technologies developed the RS1, or Robotic Solution 1, and have since created several adaptations using the RS1 base, including remote-controlled vehicles with a camera, water hose, or claw. The “SWAT Bot” concept was created in coordination with the Massachusetts State Police, according to company literature. Like other models, it utilizes the RS1 base platform, but to it are added a “collapsible ballistics shield, and a hardened AR400 steel nose shield to protect those in the line of fire.” Up to 12 people can be shielded by the SWAT Bot as it advances on an enemy. The Howe brothers see it as beneficial to police departments,

a Christmas without gifts. Area sponsors, with these lists in hand, head to stores to purchase the requested items. “It would be a much different Christmas morning for these kids without this,” Linden said of the Spirit of Giving effort. “Knowing that some child is going to open a present and be in awe makes it all worth it.” The Spirit of Giving program was launched in 2005 by Ogunquit resident Jason Corbin, who recruited a few acquaintances to serve on the inaugural plan-
ning committee. The goal that year – to provide holiday gifts for 50 children who otherwise might not receive presents – was met and exceeded by 38. “Jason came up with the idea, and he reached out to members of the community,” said committee member Frances Reed. “He hand-picked people who he thought would be able to help with this.” Four of the current ninemember Ogunquit Spirit of See GIVING page 4...
Wreaths across america Coming through Town Maine’s First Lady Takes Trip Again auGuSTa – Maine’s First Lady Ann M. LePage will be on the road again this year to ride along with the Wreaths Across America caravan from Washington County to Washington D.C. The caravan will be on Route 1 in Kennebunk at 10 a.m. on Monday, December 10, and will arrive at Wells Middle School at 10:45 a.m. the same day. LePage says she is back for more after last year’s emotional trip. “I absolutely loved it. It is a long week, but it’s absolutely worth it to honor our fallen heroes to let them know we haven’t forgotten them,” she said Monday. “For me, it’s really special this year. I’m taking my sister, Tammy DeRosby, with me. She’s looking forward to it. She doesn’t know quite what to expect, but I told her she’ll enjoy it.” LePage said she will meet her husband, Gov.

NOrTH BerWICK – Nathan Dumont will receive his Eagle Scout award Saturday at Noble High School. For his project, he restored the rock wall at North Berwick Primary School. Dumont, who graduated from Noble last year, currently attends York County Community College, where he studies computer technology. He said he got the idea for the project after speaking with Principal Ron Roberts, who gave him a list of ideas to choose from. Regarding the rock wall, which was almost entirely covered with overgrowth when he began, Dumont said “that one

stuck out as something that needed to be done, and I was a student at the primary school.” The effort involved cleaning brush from the wall, restoring the rocks that had been dislodged over the years, and cleaning and raking the area. “It took 308 man-hours,” Dumont said, and he worked with friends, family, and other members of the scout troop. Once he described the project to others, he was able to enlist their help. Dumont is currently still involved in scouting as an assistant scoutmaster with the North Berwick troop. He said he sees the

Scott Valcourt has known Dumont him since he became scoutmaster in 2008. “He’s a very solid, levelheaded guy who knows what he wants to do and where he wants to go in life,” Valcourt said. “He’s got a sense of wisdom a bit beyond his peers. He thinks about consequences, has a sense of what’s the right thing to do… just a really good guy.”

While strictly observing federal privacy regulations, representatives of both agencies collect data from the families they serve and turn over lists that help Spirit of Giving sponsors buy personalized presents for the children that fulfill their holiday wishes. “We start in August,” said AFFM’s Hoxie of the requestgathering process. “Even though you are just looking at a piece of paper you get a feel for the child,” said Reed, as she offered up examples of requested items. “This one likes constellations… and this one wants stencils for her walls: peace signs, stars and moon… this one, anything to do with a guitar.” Blocks, coloring books and learning toys are requested for a toddler, while another child asks for scary movies and a dark blue hoodie. A fishing pole tops one child’s list, while a little girl tells her sponsor that she doesn’t like the color pink but she does like Spiderman. “A lot of the kids ask for winter coats, hats, gloves, snow pants,” said Reed, adding that

Giving administrative committee are among those who served that first year, and under their guidance the effort has consistently grown. This year’s program will provide gifts for about 600 children throughout the Pine Tree State, Reed said. The youngsters who are recipients of the holiday gifts are referred by two agencies, Adoptive and Foster Families of Maine and the Frannie Peabody Center. AFFM-referred children are often members of families in the agency’s Kinship Program. “Kinship means aunts, uncles, grandparents who have taken on the responsibility of raising family members,” Reed explained. “In order to keep the family intact, they have taken in a relative and very often they don’t have the financial means.” Kinship families are often cobbled together by adversity or misfortune, said AFFM director Bette Hoxie. “But families take care of one another,” she noted, “so they say, ‘OK, I’m going to help you out. I’ll raise your child for a while.’ but many times don’t have the finances. They might be in senior citizen housing or living on Social Security.” Families recommended to Spirit of Giving by the Frannie

pajamas, socks and underwear also frequently make individual lists, perhaps at the suggestion of grown-ups. “There are a lot of people struggling right now,” she said. “Even some of our sponsors are struggling. They sponsor what they can.” Some people can afford to sponsor just a single child. Others, Reed said, sponsor two or three. And one sponsor, she noted, single-handedly takes on 25 wish lists. Sponsors typically spend $35 to $50 per child. Those who can afford to spend more on an individual child are urged instead to sponsor a second youngster. Once wrapped in holiday paper and ribbon, the gifts are delivered to a gala party that is always hosted on the first Sunday after Thanksgiving weekend at Mainestreet in Ogunquit, according to Reed. Sponsors place the gifts under one of the brightly lighted color-coded Christmas trees. Each color, noted on every wish list, represents an area of the state, a specific locale to which those presents will be delivered. Gifts headed for the Biddeford area might be placed under and around the red tree, Hoxie explained, while those going to Presque Isle may be displayed under the blue tree. “It is absolutely amazing – the sheer number of gifts,” she said. “The trees are about seven feet tall, and about an hour into the event you can’t see more than the top of those Christmas trees.” All the refreshments for this culminating event are donated by local restaurants. Bow Street Distributing of Freeport provides the trucks and the company’s drivers donate their time to deliver the gifts to drop-off sites throughout the state. “So much thanks goes to all our sponsors,” said Reed, noting that the men and women who tackle shopping chores represent every segment of the local community. Their generosity, combined with that of the area business owners, is what makes the Spirit of Giving program a continuing success, she noted. Calling the annual party for sponsors “the event of the season,” Reed said, “It really makes a statement about how great our community really is.” “There are no words,” said Hoxie. “No way to say thank you to everyone. Every gift is beautifully wrapped. Every detail is attended to.” Linden, who last year developed a website sign-up form for sponsors and this year took on the tremendous task of pairing sponsors and children, also applauded the “many people willing to give their time and energy” to the Ogunquit Spirit of Giving effort.

Friends of the Library Present Christmas Ornament for 2012 SOuTH BerWICK – The Kenney family of South Berwick began attending St. Michael’s Church in the 1930s, so Zelda Kenney is thrilled that the pewter ornament being sold this year by the Friends of South Berwick Library features the historic 126-year-old building. “The Library Christmas ornaments honoring historic local buildings are a beautiful new South Berwick holiday
tradition,” said Kenney. “My family is excited that the Friends chose St. Michael’s Church for the 2012 ornament. The ornament is a perfect way to remember the past.” Last year the Friends paid tribute to the previous home of the Library, the Jewett-Eastman House, with its first ornament. This year the group thought it only fitting to feature St. Michael’s, home of the new Library, said Bridget Pote, vice president

of the Friends. “I love the idea of hanging the homes of the library in my own home,” said Pote. She noted that the ornament represents the original building at 27 Young St., before the recent renovations. The Library started operating out of a small addition to the former church in March, and opened the renovated Great Hall to the public this fall. Proceeds from the ornaments will benefit the Friends’ Building Fund, which stands at $730,000 to date, two-thirds of the way to its $1.1 million goal. With construction and renovation all but complete, incoming funds will outfit the library with book stacks, furniture and equipment. According to Old Berwick Historical Society’s The Placenames of South Berwick, Catholics in South Berwick – many of them mill workers of Irish and French-Canadian origin -- worshipped during most of the 1800s at St. Mary Church in the village of Salmon Falls, Rollinsford, NH. Following a diocesan shift in 1884, St. Mary’s was assigned to a new bishop and two years later St. Michael’s Church was built for South Berwick. “The new ornament will be a meaningful memento for our family and for many others, even as we create new memories in our new church,” Kenney said, referring to the recently completed Catholic church on Agamenticus Road. “I am happy that the building which holds so many memories See ORNAMENT page 8...

for my family now has new life and new purpose as our longawaited town library.” Maine Preservation’s executive board this fall voted to highlight the reuse of the church building as a positive example on Maine’s Most Endangered Historic Resources list of 2012. The board showcased the property as a model for adaptive reuse of an in-town public facility, citing the “forethought and initiative seen in transforming the former St. Michael’s Church into the new library and a superior model for Maine communities.” The ornaments, made by Hampshire Pewter, are available for $18 at the South Berwick Library, SoBotique, the South Berwick Pharmacy, and the Friends website, www. friendsofsouthberwicklibrary.

ecials p S y Holida cal o L p o Sh was started in 1992 by Harrington wreath company owners Morrill and Karen Worcester. They are reportedly shipping out 350,000 wraths to 900 domestic locations, and bringing into Arlington a little over 100,000 wreaths. “Thousands of volunteers are waiting at Arlington when we get there,” LePage said. Wreaths Across America is going to hold State House ceremonies in almost all 50 states, she added. This year’s caravan begins at Quoddy Head State Park on the morning of Saturday, De-
cember 8, and ends a week later at the Arlington National Cemetery. Saturday, December 15, is Wreaths Across America Day. Governor LePage will join his wife twice on the trip, including for a rally at Cheverus High School in Portland at 5 p.m. on Sunday, December 9, and for the wreath laying at sites throughout Arlington National Cemetary on Saturday, December 15, including the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the grave of President Kennedy, the USS Maine Mast and memorials for World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War.

wreaths to Arlington National Cemetery, with many stops for wreath-laying ceremonies. “We stop at a lot of schools and VFWs on the way. We’re not just bringing wreaths to Arlington; we’re educating kids along the way,” she said. Maine’s first lady plans to alternates vehicles on the long trip, riding with a Patriot Guard Rider on the back of a motorcycle with three wheels. “I asked for one for Christmas last year, but I didn’t get it though,” LePage said. “As we come into each state, the Patriot Guard Riders from that state ride with us… some stay with us for whole trip,” she said. Trucking companies donate the trucks, and LePage says she also plans to ride with some truckers. “I just got a call from Bob Parsons of Hart’s Trucking,” she said. “He wanted me to commit to jumping in with him at Dysart’s.” Last year, LePage came to be known to truckers as Anna Banana. “They gave me my own handle on the trip, so I was able to talk on the radios,” she said. When asked if she learned the requisite CB codes, she said “I had my own codes.” She also plans to ride on the bus with Gold Star Families, who lost someone in war. Last year, she met a woman named Candy whose son was buried at Arlington. “She told a story about the people in the tombstones next to her son, Thomas,” LePage said, marveling at the strength of a woman who, even though she lives in Texas, had her son buried in Virginia so he could be near his fellow soldiers for eternity. “At many homes, there is an empty seat for one who is serving or has made the ultimate sacrifice, so I think it’s the perfect time of year to express gratitude for what they’ve done for us,” LePage said, adding that the trip can be an “emotional rollercoaster” where you are “up one day because of the patriotism you see along the way, then you meet people like Candy who have been through so much.” LePage says she was especially moved last year when they entered Arlington. “You go in to see no wreaths, and then see how the wreaths are put on the graves,” she said.

WellS – Wells Junior High School and the school’s eighth grade class presented the 18th Annual Thanksgiving Dinner for area seniors on November 18. Over a two-hour period eighth grade students greeted hundreds of guests, escorted them to their seats, worked in the kitchen,
waited on tables and helped with clean-up. Even a group of high school students was on hand to offer a valet service. By one o’clock in the afternoon, more than 400 guests had been served. Many take-out dinners were also prepared. This much anticipated school and community event serves many purposes besides

being a great holiday meal for many. According to WJHS Principal Chris Chessie, the dinner and all the work that goes into it helps reinforce some of the schools core values in the minds of students including respect, compassion and giving back to the community. The dinner is also an ending to a five-week Generations Unit for Language Arts class taught by Julie Esch and Matt Coleman. According to math content coach Linda Gaidimas the dinner is a ‘thank you’ to the community. “I think that we are very blessed in this community,” said Gaidimas who has worked on the dinner for many years. “We have the support of the whole community in terms of our school district. I look at this as a very small thing that we can do for the community as a ‘thank you’ for support of the budget and for support of the kids.” During the dinner on Sunday, Chessie pointed out yet another purpose served by having these dinners. It provides a great opportunity for generations to come together. “What we have now,” said Chessie, “is several generations all together for a special event. It is just a great opportunity for our kids.” Chessie had his own generational experience when he visited with a principal that he had in high school, former Sanford High School Principal Paul Seavey who attended See DINNER page 12...

Church Recreates Holy Scenes to Help Fight Hunger KeNNeBuNK – The Messiah Christian Church in Kennebunk is turning the entire church into “Bethlehem.” The gym is a bustling marketplace with live animals, traveling minstrels, tax collectors, and shopkeepers. Guests can visit the shops and learn a craft of the day. Then they can visit the center court and be treated to food
items. They can follow the magi to Herod’s elaborate palace and then to the manger. There are all of the sights and sounds of Bethlehem on the night Jesus was born. But most importantly, they are asking all of the visitors to bring a non-perishable food item and meet those in the community who are dedicated to eradicating hunger. (courtesy photo)

the dinner with his wife. The Seaveys now have a grandchild who is a fifth grade student at WJHS. Vicki Aldridge, one of WJHS’s secretaries, has helped organize these dinners since the first dinner in 1994. Over the years, Aldridge has become known for the pecan pie that she helps bake with students from a recipe that she and her mother developed when they operated a bakery in Wells many years ago. One of Aldridge’s favorite dinner guests was former Wells teacher Bea Spiller who attended every dinner until her passing in 2011 at the age of 105. When Aldridge was in school she had Spiller as
a reading teacher in 7th and 8th grade. One of the staff helping out on Sunday was Danielle Adams, a 2008 graduate of Wells High School who is now a math teacher at WJHS and advisor to the eighth grade class. Adams noted that she worked on the 1998 dinner as an eighth grade student at WJHS. This year, her younger sister Michelle, was one of the wait staff. Adams said that she expects her two year old son to work on the dinner when he reaches the eighth grade. Assistant principal at WJHS, Robert Griffin was working his first dinner. Griffin was in charge of the coffee

station, helping students (most who had never served coffee before) learn the ‘language of coffee’ as Griffin put it. Griffin brought his two sons Nick, age 10, and Tom, age 8, to help at the dinner. Both acted as runners and helped serve water and fruit cups. As briefly mentioned above, the dinner serves as an ending to a Generations Unit in Language Arts class. For five weeks, students study issues related to aging in modern society. They read stories, write and reflect on how the elderly are treated. In addition to the dinner, students also participate in an oral history project by visiting the residents of Sentry Hill in York Harbor and conducting interviews. Throughout the week before the dinner eighth graders helped create banners, napkins and table decorations. On Friday they set up tables, placed table decorations and helped make pecan and pumpkin pies. On Saturday cream pies were baked and other work continued. Those who helped make this year’s dinner, a success include: The entire eighth grade class, Mr. and Mrs. Hunter of The Wells IGA, Gary Leech of Congdon’s Donuts, WellsOgunquit Center in Moody, Wells Dunkin Donuts, Spiller Farm in Wells, Julie Esch, Matt Coleman, Ronda Falconer, Susie Dugovic, Kerry Georgitis, Alice Meader, Maryellen McEvoy, Kim McDonough, Angie Norton, and Carroll Crouch.

~ News ~ marshwood education Foundation awards Fall 2012 Grants SOuTH BerWICK – The Marshwood Education Foundation (MEF) announced the recipients of its fall grants. Teachers in three schools were surprised by the MEF “prize patrol” and learned for the first time that their projects are to receive MEF grant funds totaling $7,109.80. “The prize patrol is a great way to end a very successful year for MEF. The Pumpkinman Triathlon was a big help to us and we had a great Oktoberfest. Marshwood students are lucky to have such dedicated educators and a supportive community,” said Seth Herbold, MEF president. “I hope we can inspire students to come up with their own ideas for new projects to be funded by MEF grants.” meF Fall Grants awarded: Eliot Elementary School: A 21st Century Twist to Nurture Reading Achievement – proposed by Joanne Hoerth, Ann Shisler, Christal Villemaire, Reading Intervention teachers – Awarded $1,227.80. The reading intervention teachers will use their grant to use web-based resources (RazzKids and Reading A-Z) for maximizing student achievement in the area of literacy. The use of online subscriptions to these programs would provide families with another opportunity to partner with school staff to develop and
strengthen literacy skills in their students. Marshwood Great Works School: Choice Books – proposed by Susan Goettlich, Reading Specialist– Awarded $2,750. This project will provide opportunities for disengaged readers to assume the
role of reader as book researcher, book spokesperson, book selector and book promoter for the school, essentially creating a student book choice award program. Marshwood High School: Hawks Outdoor Leadership Development – proposed by Scott
Patch, Health and Wellness Teacher - Awarded $3,132. HOLD is a student lead group that began last year and provides all students the opportunity to experience the outdoors. They will establish a partnership with the Marshwood Great Works School to provide

their fifth grade students with mentors leading up to and with them at Pinkham Notch. The MEF is now accepting applications for Spring grants with a deadline of April 15, 2013. For more information, contact Janice Hastings, MEF Grants Committee Chairperson at hastings. janice@gmail.com.

Goodall Hospital Awarded an “A” for Patient Safety SaNFOrD – Goodall Hospital was once again honored with an “A” Hospital Safety Score by the Leapfrog Group, an independent national nonprofit run by employers and other large purchasers of health benefits. The A score was awarded in the latest update to the Hospital Safety Score, with scores assigned to U.S. hospitals based on preventable medical errors, injuries accidents, and infections. The hospital Safety Score was compiled under the guidance of the nation’s leading experts on patient safety and is designed to give the public information they can use to protect themselves and their families. “We are extremely pleased with our score and accredit our continued success to the hard work and dedication of all Goodall providers, employees, and volunteers” said Patricia Aprile, FACHE, president and CEO of Goodall Hospital. “Hospitals like this that earn an A have demonstrated their commitment to their patients and their community,” said Leah Binder, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group. “I congratulate Goodall Hospital for its safety excellence, and look forward to the day when all hospitals will match this standard.” To see Goodall Hospital’s scores as they compare nationally and locally, visit the Hospital Safety Score website at www.hospitalsafetyscore.org, which also provides information on how the public can protect themselves and loved ones during a hospital stay. People can also check their local hospital’s score on the free mobile app, available at www.hospitalsafetyscore.org. Calculated under the

guidance of the Leapfrog Group’s nine-member Blue Ribbon Expert Panel, the Hospital Safety Score uses 26 measures of publicly available hospital safety data to produce a single score representing a hospital’s overall capacity to keep patients safe from infections, injuries, and medical and medication errors. The panel includes experts from Harvard University, Stanford University, and Johns Hopkins University, among others.

Students Get Double Dose of Experience UNE pharmacy doctoral students add vet training POrTlaND – The inaugural class of the University of New England College of Pharmacy will graduate in May 2013 prepared to serve customers of all needs, including the medication needs of veterinary patients. Students in their third year of a four-year program have the opportunity to take an elective class in veterinary pharmacy
that includes training in the safe production of compounded veterinary drug prescriptions. A lab this year for the Class of 2014 was co-organized by Steve Hauke, RPh, veterinary pharmacist and owner of PetScripts in Yarmouth. Hauke provided valuable focus and guidance during two separate laboratory exercises in November where students learned how to safely and effectively fill orders for custom compounded veterinary prescriptions. “Many drugs do not come
formulated for a certain species or a specific animal use, so veterinarians commonly order compounded drug prescriptions for their patients,” said UNE assistant professor Cory Theberge, Ph.D. “These compounded preparations are increasingly sought by cost-conscious pet owners in retail and community pharmacies, so pharmacists with animal-specific drug formulation skills are emerging as valuable additions to retail and community pharmacy teams.”
We’ve changed to offer you more affordable care! York Hospital in Wells Emergency & Walk-in Care is now Myhealth@Wells Walk-in Care! Last summer, York Hospital in Wells piloted a new, lower cost, high care walk-in center. It ran alongside the Emergency Care center at York Hospital in Wells and was well received by residents and visitors alike. Based on the overwhelmingly positive feedback we received, and our need to make care more affordable for our patients, we are now pleased to offer one, dynamic walk-in care service at York Hospital in Wells. York Hospital in Wells is now Myhealth@ Wells Walk-in Care. York Hospital’s “Myhealth” care concept (which is also available at York Hospital in Kittery) offers quick, compassionate, and convenient walk-in care staffed by nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and nurses. At Myhealth@Wells, services are available 7 days a week, 8am-6pm, and centered on providing immediate care for minor illnesses and injuries, as well as health prevention services. This change means we no longer provide the higher cost emergency level services at York Hospital in Wells. However, our specialty-trained emergency physicians and nurses are available to meet any need at the Emergency Care Center at York Hospital, which is open 24 hours a day. This change also allows us to provide the health care services our patients in the Wells area have told us they want - walk-in care at a more affordable price.
Offering you the care you want at a price you can afford. At Myhealth@Wells, care starts at just $65 per visit - with most insurances accepted!

Maine Forest Service Publishes Mount Katahdin Spider Report auGuSTa – A new report from the Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry reveals that there are 145 different species of spiders on and around Mount Katahdin, including five that have been previously unidentified. The Maine Forest Service report is based on the scientific collection and identification work done by scientists Daniel T. Jennings, Charles D. Dondale and James H. Redner
from Maine and Canada and provides scientific knowledge that could provide baseline information on habitat and recreational-use effects in the park, according to Charlene Donahue, MFS forest entomologist. None of the 145 different species of spiders found were poisonous, as Maine has no native poisonous spiders, the MFS forest entomologist said. See SPIDERS page 17...

Wells Plastic Bag Program Reduces Solid Waste by More Than a Third
...SPIDERS from page 16 The five previous unidentified species are unique to the North American alpine environment found on Katahdin and some of them have also been found on Mt. Washington and in Quebec. Some Katahdin specimens are available in the MFS insect collection, while others are being kept at the Harvard Museum of Comparative Zoology, Cambridge, Mass. As part of its mission, the state’s Forest Service frequently publishes technical reports on a variety of scientific subjects, from invasive insects to silviculture, as a way to support Maine landowners, forest managers and businesspeople. A checklist of documented spiders is available at www. maine.gov. For more information about the Maine Forest Service, go to www.maineforestservice.gov.
WellS – This summer marked the one-year anniversary of Wells’ successful pay-as-you-throw (PAYT) solid waste reduction program. Since the town converted its inefficient and cumbersome program to the new pre-paid PAYT plastic bag program on July 1, 2011, the results have been significant. Prior to then, the town employed a generic trash bag program that was difficult to administer and required residents to pay cash at the transfer station for each bag deposited. In the first 12 months of the program, according to Town Manager Jonathan Carter, Wells residents have reduced their solid waste 34 percent from 1,926 tons in the preceding year to 1,278 tons in 2012. Moreover, recycling efforts have risen sharply from 355 tons in 2011 to 488 tons in 2012, a 37
percent increase. As a result, the town’s solid waste disposal costs (the price per ton Wells pays to dispose of its trash at the MERC incinerator in Biddeford) have dropped almost $9,000 during this period. In addition to the new PAYT program, commercial trash haulers were no longer allowed to dispose of their trash at the transfer station, which also contributed to the reduction in solid waste. “The new PAYT program has brought long overdue efficiencies to our waste management efforts and the operation of the transfer station,” said Carter. “We’ve decreased our solid waste, dramatically increased recycling, and eliminated the burdensome and outdated cash
transactions at the transfer station.” Carter went on to explain that, in addition to these benefits, the revenue generated from the plastic bag fees and the sale of the town’s recyclable materials are applied toward funding the transfer station operations. By 2015, he anticipates that the transfer station will be self-sufficient, no longer dependent on tax revenue for its operation. “In addition to the important economic and environmental benefits of the PAYT program, there have been other gains and efficiencies that have benefited Wells,” said Town Treasurer Leo Ouellette. “We’ve reduced personnel at the transfer station and have made it far
more efficient and convenient for residents to dispose of their trash using the official town plastic bags that are available for purchase at seven local retail outlets.” The orange trash bags imprinted with the Wells town seal are available in three sizes: 15 gallons ($1.50), 33 gallons ($2.00), and 45 gallons ($4.00) at the following locations: Aubuchon Hardware, Clipper Mart, Cumberland Farms, Hannaford Supermarket, Rite Aid, Wells Super Food Market, and Wells Town Hall. The bags are made available at these retailer locations through WasteZero, the town’s PAYT provider, and its retail store distribution program.

Horse Therapy Takes Show on the Road KeNNeBuNK – Kennebunk horses Lexxie & Fritz of BlixxxHorses traveled to senior living at 75 State Street in downtown Portland recently. The horses were invited for a Blixx HorseTherapy session with residents and staff. While activity director Susan Amoroso was explaining horse behavior, Lexxie took the opportunity to gently take an apple from unsuspecting resident Bob Joy. Although Bob had planned on offering it to her, she forgot her manners and caught him by surprise. In order to avoid being distracted, the horses do not “eat on the job” usually, but sometimes it’s the things you don’t expect that are the best therapy of all. (courtesy photo)

Poison Control Warns Picking Wild Mushrooms Can Be Deadly Tasty mushrooms often find their way onto holiday menus, but buying cultivated varieties at a reputable food market is the only way to be safe rather than collecting and eating wild mushrooms, according to experts at the California Poison Control System (www.calpoison.org). “This month, four have died and two others remain hospitalized in just one case in California from poisoning by wild mushrooms which typically start growing once the rainy season begins,” said Stuart E. Heard, Pharm.D, executive director, California Poison Control System. “It is difficult to distinguish which wild mushrooms are dangerous and which are safe to eat.” In California alone, more than 1,700 reported cases of poisonous mushroom ingestion were reported in 2009 and 2010. Eating poisonous mushrooms can cause abdominal pain, cramping, vomiting, diarrhea, liver damage and
death. The most serious illnesses and deaths have been linked to mushrooms that cause liver damage, including Amanita ocreata, or “destroying angel”, and Amanita phalloides also known as the “death cap.” Symptoms typically develop six to 12 hours after eating. “No matter how experienced one is at mushroom identification, there is always a risk in eating wild mushrooms,” according to Dr. Heard. “Only those mushrooms purchased from a reputable market or selected by a well-known expert should be consumed.” He added, “Contrary to folklore which says poison mushrooms are brightly colored, poison mushrooms typically look like most edible mushrooms.” Individuals with symptoms following wild mushroom ingestion or their treating health care providers should immediately contact CPCS at 1-800-222-1222.

...HOWE from page 19 that delivers 600 gallons of water a minute. The RS1 G2, or Guardian, is used for nuclear or biohazard emergency response. “It’s for a scenario where humans can’t go,” Geoff said. The gripper on the Guardian can drag a human out of harm’s way, It includes a hydrocanon that can blow a lock out, and is particularly effective when dealing with an IED (improvised explosive device) in a car, for example. Howe and Howe currently employs 20 individuals, with office/engineering space of 12,000 square feet. The manufacturing floor is 36,000 square feet, according to Brian Bair, outreach business manager and chief operating officer of Outdoors Again. But this relatively small company has big plans, hoping “to branch out in other areas, such as industrial and private sectors, and emergency response,” Geoff said. “And opening up avenues internationally. We haven’t had to do that in the past. These are the only products of this type in the world, so we’re hedging our bets against defense cuts.”
Howe says the company doesn’t rest on its laurels, though. “We spend all of our profit in our next project, and research and development gets hit first in this type of economy,” Geoff said. While these several machines give the company the edge to compete in a challenging and changing market, the real legacy for Howe and Howe Technologies may well come from another audience altogether. They are looking for a $15 million benefactor to help them with their dream of building an outdoor park for wheelchairbound individuals and their families. They have 80 acres of land in Lebanon set aside for this project, and plan to incorporate use of their Ripchair, a lightweight, tubular-designed vehicle on which a wheelchair fits securely. The brothers plan to fashion visits to the park along the lines of the Make-a-Wish Foundation, offering week-long vacations for a person with a disability and his/her family. “For example, little Suzie lives in Texas, is wheelchairbound. We fly down, pick up the family and bring them here for an
entire week, and start the healing process.” “They can use their own wheelchair,” Geoff said. “They can go fishing, hunting, exploring again. There are three million people in wheelchairs (in the U.S.). People don’t notice it because they’re inside.” Citing a suicide rate 500 times that of a non-wheelchair bound person, Howe said “what gives them hope and joy is the ability to get outside.” So they started a nonprofit called Outdoors Again “to try to give these people hope.”
Oak Point Associates, an architectural firm in Biddeford, designed the park for free, the Howe brothers said. “We said to them, ‘we don’t want anyplace on the property not available to someone in a wheelchair.” Outdoors Again would have “some traversable paths which wouldn’t require a Ripchair,” Bair said. “It would be an all-inclusive resort, with a dining hall. There would be activities planned for the week. But it’s not a theme-park for wheelchairs. It’s a place to get whole again.”
They envision handicapped employees encountering a job that brings them great satisfaction and a feeing of validation. And they are pouring their efforts into this dream project, despite the enormous costs. “It’s our baby,” Geoff said. “We’ve done a lot. We’ve been in movies, on TV, built robots. But when it’s all over, what are we left with? Our dream lately has been to go above and beyond, to get into, both personally and financially, Outdoors Again.” (courtesy photo)

~ ask The Computer lady ~ Dear Computer lady, When I purchased my Hewlett Packard computer it came with Windows Vista. Can I change it to Windows 7? Thanks for your help. Charlotte Dear Charlotte, Since Windows 7 is a little bit faster and leaner than Vista, you probably do have the hardware needed to upgrade your Vista computer to Windows 7, however, you will have to purchase Windows 7 first. I looked around online and found that even the upgrade version of Windows 7 is just over a hundred dollars, so the question I would have to ask is, do you need to upgrade from Vista to 7? The differences between Windows Vista and Windows 7 are small. Most of the time when I am using a computer that has either one or the other, I can’t tell unless I look at the computer properties which operating system I am working with. If you are experiencing problems with Vista, upgrading to Windows 7 without first
formatting (erasing) your hard drive will probably just import those problems into Windows 7 with you. A better solution in this case would be to have a clean install of Vista done on your computer. If I was using a computer with Vista, and thinking about upgrading to Windows 7, I would ask myself the following questions. 1. Will my computer support Windows 7? (Microsoft has a list of hardware requirements and even a little program you can download and run to determine if your computer will support 7) 2. Do I have an issue that needs Windows 7 to fix? 3. Am I having problems that are just going to be carried over when I upgrade to Windows 7? Elizabeth Dear Computer lady, I would like to change the font in WordPad. In fact I would like to use WordPad instead. I save my recipes on the computer and would like to

change the font and it will not stay. Keeps asking me if I change the font I will lose all the formatting? Can’t figure that out. My point is to change the font. I am saving things in a .txt form. Thanks for your help, Flo Dear Flo, It is possible to change the font in WordPad (but not NotePad) as long as you are saving the file as a rich text file (.rtf) or a Word document (.doc). Unfortunately, you cannot change the font in a plain text document (. txt), which is the format you are saving your recipes in. The warning about losing the formatting is probably displayed when you go to save or resave your file in plain text format. Plain text format is just the text, no formatting like bold or italic letters, no fonts, or different font sizes. If you want to save text formatting with your document, try saving it in the rich text format (.rtf). Elizabeth Dear Computer lady, I love your site – thanks! All of a sudden my desktop
Dear margaret, You have not done anything wrong. In fact, you are keeping your computer safe from malicious websites. It sounds like you have installed some sort of security software that uses the green check marks to let you know that a web site is safe to visit. I know that some versions of the security software that I use, AVG, includes that feature. Elizabeth Dear Computer lady, I cannot eject my DVD from my Mac computer. Please help. I have tried so many things to eject it, but no luck. Thank you, Tom Dear Tom, I don’t usually answer Mac computer questions, but this sounds like a hardware problem. Occasionally, something in a CD or DVD drive can get warped, and the drive doesn’t open on its own any more.

All you have to do, is make sure the computer is shut off, and find yourself a large paper clip.

The second is through a website called Pixel of Ink (http://www.pixelofink.com/). If you get on the email list they will send you a list almost everyday of the books that are available for free that day through Amazon. From ron007 on Shelf Life of Flash Drives: “It seems like every time I stick a flash drive in my pocket and carry it around for a day or two, the next time I want to use it, I am unable to access my files.” The simple explanation for that is you were probably zapping them with static electricity. That will kill any electronics. Interested in learning more? Elizabeth has answered thousands of computer questions over the years.

business & finance “un-spoil” Your Kids A Holiday Message for Parents of Entitled (and Financially Clueless) Children
YOrK COuNTY – The holidays are upon us, and rumor has it we’re supposed to be joyful. But if you’re one of the millions of American families caught in the economic crunch, you’re anything but. Your kids expect the moon for Christmas, and like George Bailey in “It’s a Wonderful Life,” you’d love to lasso it for them. Unfortunately,
the “moons” they’re asking for— trendy clothes, say, or high-tech devices—remain out of reach. It seems the Season of Giving only spotlights how little you can give—and how much your kids are focused on taking. It’s true, says Gregory Downing. Kids are disconnected from the harsh economic realities that most adults struggle with. That’s partly because we shelter

them from the truth, but also because we the parents aren’t in reality about it, either. “Many adults don’t want to acknowledge that the world has undergone a fundamental shift,” says Downing, author of “Entrepreneur Unleashed: Wealth to Stand the Test of Time,” as well as an upcoming book on providing a financial legacy for kids. “Everything about the way we build wealth and think about money has changed. Yet we’re still living - and yes, giving - like people who are able to work 40 years for the same company and retire comfortably with the gold watch.” In a way, he says, we’re just as spoiled as our kids. We all need to change our unsustainable ways, and that means breaking the paradigm of parents as beneficent providers and kids as passive recipients. It breeds not only an entitlement mentality, but also an employee mindset—which Downing says will not serve kids well in the
future. Of course, he is not suggesting we serve up a stern family lecture about the new fiscal reality along with the Christmas cookies and hot cocoa. (That would be a Grinch-y thing to do!) What we can do is minimize spending on gifts, concentrate on the togetherness aspect of the holidays—and after the tree comes down, call a family forum. What will you say in that post-holiday forum? Downing offers up the following suggestions: Be honest about your financial situation. Most families hide financial struggles from children to keep them from worrying. This is a mistake, says Downing. While reassuring your kids that you will take care of them and you’ll all be okay no matter what, be straight with your kids. They can handle it.
lay out the family finances in business terms. Your kids probably have no idea how much you make. Nor do they realize the cost of running a household. Between the mortgage, car payments, insurance, utility bills, food bills, gas bills, and so forth, you’re spending thousands of dollars a month. Add other “occasional” expenses like clothing, car repairs, a new computer when yours dies, and (if you’re lucky) vacations, and kids may be stunned by how much it costs just to live their normal lives, says Downing. ask kids for cutback suggestions. Cutting expenses is always a valid business strategy. And for most families, it’s already the first line of defense when money starts getting uncomfortably tight.

Politicians ask five Guys to buy Maine Potatoes POrTlaND & BaNGOr – U.S. Senator Olympia J. Snowe and Representatives Chellie Pingree and Mike Michaud have written to the owners of Five Guys hamburger franchises in New England and urged them to use Maine
potatoes to make French fries at the restaurant in Portland and a new location scheduled to open in Bangor. In a letter to franchise owners Gene Prentice and Jamal Bourdoute, Snowe, Pingree and Michaud wrote:
...SPOILED from page 28 laying down the law to kids (“Sorry… no Disney trip this year”), involve them in the process. Ask: “Where might we as a family save money? How can you help?” In this way you’re demonstrating to them that you value their input and expect them to be part of the solution. Broach the subject of kids as contributors. Of course, running a fiscally sound “business” (or family) isn’t just about cutting back. It’s also about increasing revenues. If kids are not currently contributing to the family finances— and they probably aren’t—it’s time for a change. There is no reason for them to exist solely on the “expense” side of the balance sheet. They can at least fund their own non-essentials (think video games, prom dresses, that coveted mountain bike) and start saving for college. ask them to think up ways they might earn income. Obviously, these ideas will vary wildly based on kids’ ages and interests. Don’t limit them to traditional kid jobs like babysitting or lawn care. (Maybe babies make them nervous or they have grass allergies.) Think about what their passions are and ask how they might make money from this. If your child loves to read, perhaps she could start a business reading books to the elderly.
make the connection between wealth and giving. Explain to kids that, at its heart, making money is actually about contribution. All wealthy people (so-called “good people” and stingy people alike) must supply the unmet needs of others. As your kids contribute to their customers and to society in general, they will automatically make money. Contributing is, of course, the antithesis of being spoiled.
“As you know, purchasing locally can significantly cut down on transportation costs as well as result in fresher food. Additionally, a growing number of consumers in Maine and around the country are keenly interested in supporting local farmers and appreciate having a connection to those growing their food,” according to a press release. Over her nearly four-decade career in the U.S. Congress, Snowe has been a tireless champion for Maine’s potato industry.
“Maine’s potato industry is simply iconic, and the crop our hardworking farmers produce each year is second to none,” Snowe said. “As Five Guys presence in our state grows, I urge the company to buy their potatoes locally here in Maine – not only for their superior taste and quality, but to support our state’s economy.” Michaud said Maine growers produce top quality potatoes. “The potato industry is a critical part of Maine’s economy. Using Maine potatoes at Five Guys locations in Portland
and Bangor would provide new opportunities for Maine’s potato farmers and, of course, make great French fries,” Michaud said. This summer, Pingree successfully convinced cruise ship companies to buy Maine lobster when they visit Maine, and is hoping Five Guys will also agree to buy local. “Buying locally not only guarantees fresh ingredients, but it’s also good business because every dollar spent locally stays right here in the Maine economy,” Pingree said.
Together, set some family goals. Once you’ve talked through your financial reality, including cutbacks and new contributions, it’s time to plan for the future. Set very specific goals for every family member to meet during the upcoming year. What, specifically, will you do to reign in spending? What will each child do to work toward the creation of his or her new business (and how much will he or she earn)? What will Mom and Dad do to increase their own earning potential? Begin family goal-setting, that does the “heavy lifting” in terms of un-spoiling kids. That’s because it clarifies your values and makes sure you’re all doing things—say, working twice a month at the animal shelter or spearheading a beach cleanup—that teach kids what really matters in life. These are the kinds of things that get neglected when your family is running on autopilot rather than living by design.

AWS Assists in Long-Distance Rescue
WEST KENNEBUNK – Two cats from Seattle, Washington, are now calling Maine home, as part of a rescue effort by the Animal Welfare Society of West Kennebunk. Steve Jacobsen, executive director of AWS, said it’s a real example of what the organization does. “We see about 3,400 animals come in a year. We serve 21 communities in York County,” he said. “We also see animals come in from out-of-state. We have cats and dogs later this week coming in from Louisiana.” The trek from the Pacific west coast is the longest he has heard of, Jacobsen said, but there are often long excursions for pets in need. “This is the farthest trip, but believe it or not we once helped with a rabbit seizure in New Mexico, and maritime Canada,” he said, adding “nearly 90 percent of all animals that come into the place find a home.” John Rhoades, vice-president of the board for AWS, told the story of Gator and Princess, two cats coming in from Washington State. “I received an email from a dear friend,” Rhoades said. “Her niece and husband are a military family. He’s been to Afghanistan a couple of times. Dave and Carol Hammerschmidt - they got the cats seven years ago, when their daughter Wendy was born.” Dave went to Florida State, so Gator was an easy pick for a name. “He’s back from the service now,” Rhoades continued, “and they recently had a boy who is allergic to cats. The boy is too young for shots, (and the cat hair has) exacerbated his asthma. They checked several area shelters, but the cats would be put down in seven days if not taken. They looked into four nokill shelters, but they each had a

six-month waiting list.” So they were desperate, and contacted her aunt Carol Strunnin in Florida who sent the email blast. “Let’s network,” Rhoades said. “We have to save these cats’ lives.” Rhoades called Jacobsen and said “what can we do?” They were already bringing animals in from New Jersey and New York City, which have been displaced in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy. “We have an understanding with York County Emergency Management to step in when animals are displaced because of natural disasters,” Jacobsen
said. Because of their philosophy, that assistance extends to national emergencies as well, so their staff is always busy. Despite the current workload, AMS took on the challenge. The cats were scheduled for a non-stop flight on Alaska Air from Seattle to Logan International Airport in Boston, where they were to be picked up. “Gator and Princess are brother and sister and have never been apart,” Rhoades said. “They had a full checkup and were pronounced fit, healthy, and safe to fly.” Now they are looking for a nice Maine family and a house to call home.
Safe Haven Humane Society WELLS – Patches was one of a family of five cats, much loved by the Safe Haven family at our adoption center in Wells. Patches, Mia, Missy, Precious and Mojo came from a man in Sanford whose luck had run out and whose life was falling apart. His cats had nowhere to go. They were rescued by Safe Haven, and each needed a great deal of medical care. Despite treatments and medications, we lost Precious and Mojo earlier on. Resting now in our own pet cemeteries, they are still remembered and so loved. The remaining three became the most inseparable cats we’ve ever had the good fortune to know. This torti-and-calico trio slept cuddled together in the same cat bed in the Safe Haven office, their happy home for years. Last winter we learned that Patches had a medical condition
that would end her life soon. Despite that prognosis, Patches continued to be so happy and loving. She continued to eat and respond to her medication. She lived on for an extra year, a tiny, frail torti with a spirit as large as a moose – until last week. We saw the signs, and so we stayed and comforted her last Monday evening for ten hours, while her daughter Mia lay devotedly at her side, rubbing her, patting her, lying on her. At 8 a.m. our beloved Patches left us. During those ten hours, we were prepared to take her up to the emergency vet if she struggled. But she didn’t. She died peacefully, in her home, with her family around. She knew no stress. For hours after her death, her daughter Mia remained at her side. We all wished that their time together would never end but it did. Death is a part of our work. Each time we lose one, we feel all the more protective and devoted to the No-Kill cause. We are all

Another Chance Animal Rescue NORTH BERWICK – Meet the Crew The Crew came into the adoption center without a mom and in raggedy shape. All the little ones have since been vetted, neutered/spayed, have had their first round of vaccinations, wormed, Front-lined and are ready for new families in time for the Holidays. The Crew kittens are: black/white, brown tiger/ coal black/ and tiger and white, both boys and girls in the mix. We still have a steady supply of young kittens showing up at the center hoping that the Inn is not full and they will grieving for Patches, but none of us more than her daughter Mia and sister Missy, who now seem reserved and a little confused. We are giving them extra love and attention to comfort them. In rescue there’s little time to collect yourself emotionally. No sooner are you wiping your tears away from a great loss like this, when the phone rings regarding another cat in dire straits, needing immediate medical attention, or a life needing to be literally saved. Not having emotional time to grieve might be a blessing, but can leave us stunned. Emotions unresolved, we must carry on to save yet another one. As a rescuer, sometimes you wonder about the cycle of life. The new arrival just happens to be another thin little torti, just like Patches. You hold her and she lets out a familiar thankful purr. Somehow, even though you didn’t have time to mend your heart, you feel your heart mending and getting stronger so you can use it to save this next one. This new kitty, not yet named, was a little Christmas wanderer whose toe pads are so worn down they’re ulcerated and one of her paws is deformed. Despite her tough journey, her mishaps and mistreatment, she responds to our touch and voice with purrs and head nudges. Like Patches and all the others, her journey is now ours. We thank you all for your support, friendship, donations and encouragement. Without it, we could never continue. Calendar of Events Indoor Yard Sale Dec 8-9
not have to live another day in the cold. ACAR and other area shelters and rescues are always pushing the message of Spay/ neuter your pets. This message is making great progress, but still the never-ending match continues. Let’s make a pledge: All pet owners will either spay or neuter their family pets and please encourage others such as co workers, neighbors etc. to do the same. The year 2013 will be a banner year that reads We Do Not Have Any Kittens to Place. Thank You in Advance. In the meantime the Crew is waiting for loving wonderful forever homes. Along with a nice selection of teenage kittens, a good size group of young adults and a limited number of older cats who have in some cases waiting a long time for the right family to come in and say you are the right kitty for our family. New homes & families for the holidays is their wish & our goal. Support For Life Our “Support For Life” program asks for the pledge of a $10 monthly donation. Your $10 combined with the monthly donations of others will help us meet our ongoing expenses and continue our work as a true “No Kill” organization. Please help us continue our mission to provide a safe environment and quality care for abandoned, abused, and lost pets by becoming a “Support for Life” member and pledging a monthly donation. It is through your generosity that the organization exists and will be here to serve your community for years to come.

local Wrestlers raise money for New mat WellS Jim MacNeill, acting as an independent Wells community member, is seeking assistance to grow a local program by gaining the necessary financial assistance for purchasing a wrestling mat for the Wells Youth Wrestling program. The
Wells Youth Wrestling program has been hampered by mat space in the past few years, and when MacNeill recognized this problem, he stepped forward to make the program more available to the children of Wells. Reportedly, $9,100 is required to purchase a new

wrestling mat. With current mat space, the program is limited to 30 kids. With additional mat space for practices, MacNeill feels the program can be expanded, adding to the health and wellbeing of even more children. Dan Marquis, one of the head coaches of the program said, “During the 2012 season, several Wells residents were unable to participate on the team due to team size limitations based on insufficient mat space.” MacNeill feels very strongly about helping this program grow. “As a third year program, they placed third in the state of Maine, second only to the “Noble Machine.” The “Noble Machine” refers to two teams located in the Berwicks that have traditionally produced some of Maine’s best wrestlers. Wells Youth Wrestling also placed second at Marshwood’s Annual New England Classic. “To place second amongst teams competing from as far as away as Danbury, CT is impressive. Our Rec department and our coaches are
NOrTH BerWICK & WellS – The Noble/Wells hockey team played their annual game in support of breast cancer awareness this week. The fundraiser was led by one of the team members, Bryce Aldrich. The fundraiser was a game between the Noble/Wells hockey team and the Somersworth/Coe Brown hockey team. “I decided to make this because I saw how much cancer can hurt someone. My inspiration was one of my teammates, Nick Hudson’s mother, because she is battling her second bout of cancer. I decided to start all of this because I wanted others to be more aware of what cancer can do to people and their fami-
lies,” says Aldrich. All of the proceeds from the fundraiser will be donated to Amy’s Treat, which “was created in December 2007 as a legacy foundation in honor and loving memory of Amy Maliszewski to benefit the patients of the Seacoast Cancer Center of New Hampshire,” according to its website, amystreat.org. Amy’s Treat supports cancer victims and helps them with the necessities that they cannot help themselves with. Last year the Breast Cancer Awareness Fundraiser game raised $1,700. Aldrich’s personal goal for this year is $2,000. The fundraiser was held in Rochester, N.H. on December 5. By Jillian Wilson, Noble High School, Weekly Sentinel Intern, Edited by Timothy Gillis
outstanding. They should be afforded the opportunity to grow their program,” MacNeill said. His own son, Braeden, 10, is in only his second year of wrestling and has already met with success, taking second place in individuals in his weight class at the same tournament. The progress made by
Wells Youth Wrestling would not have been possible without donations made by Wells Professional Firefighters Union Local 4652, Jonathon’s Restaurant, and Crown Carpentry, he said. Any and all assistance is welcomed. For more information about how to contribute, contact Jim MacNeill at 207-251-2288.
