Wreaths Across America Gets Own Day Norton Lights Sparkle and Rolls On with Escort of Wreaths Again with New Hope Tree STATEWIDE Wreaths Across America (WAA), is a national non-profit whose Mission to Remember, Honor, and Teach, is in part carried out with the placement of sponsored veterans’ wreaths at 2500 participating locations across America, most notably, at Arlington National Cemetery, each December. To honor this organization and the work they do, the Senate unanimously passed a resolution introduced by U.S. Senators Susan Collins and Angus King designating Saturday, December 19, 2020, as “Wreaths Across America Day.” “Wreaths Across America is a powerful demonstration of respect and appreciation for our veterans – both those that we’ve lost and those still with us,” said Senators Collins and King in a joint statement. “We are so proud that this heartfelt expression of gratitude originated in the great State of Maine and has become an enduring symbol of our nation’s gratitude for veterans’ valor and sacrifice. This resolution remembers and honors America’s veterans this holiday season, while also teaching generations to come of the sacrifices

that have been made to secure our freedoms and to defend our liberty.” Another highly anticipated piece of this annual event is the weeklong, miles-long parade of tractor trailers, wrapped vehicles carrying veterans and Gold Star Families, law enforcement and motorcycle riders, leading the escort of wreaths to Arlington for placement. This year’s annual escort of wreaths will have a different look and feel due to the necessary changes being made throughout the country for health and safety. The physical journey – which will include one tractor trailer load of wreaths hauled by Gully Transportation professional driver JD Walker, who is also a Gold Star Father and Navy Veteran, 11 wrapped Chevy vehicles carrying Gold Star Families, and nine police cruisers – will take place from Tuesday, December 15, through National Wreaths Across America Day, Saturday, December 19. “For those who have had the opportunity to participate in the escort of wreaths over the years, it is truly an experience of a lifetime,” said Karen Worcester, executive director, WAA. “The way we have been welcomed into communities, over the years, with flags waving and streets lined with children and veterans, is something we always wished every American could witness. And now, thanks to PenFed’s support, we’ll be

WELLS Although the entire program is yet to be finalized, the Norton family of local Norton Lights fame, wish to tell the public that the “show must go on” in 2020. As with everything this year, safety is the utmost concern so with the help of Make-A-Wish of Maine they’ve added some safe ways to donate like text-to-give and online donations. Although they will miss the cherished tradition of giving out candy canes and chatting with visitors this year, the Norton family is glad to be able to give a safe and happy holiday memory. This year as you pass by, in addition to the light show, they will be handing out extra (masked) smiles, cheerful waves and heartfelt well wishes for a happy and healthy holiday season! Brand new this year is a Hope Tree in loving memory of their niece Frankie Hope, who passed away on February 14. She “was the most beautiful little girl, filled with love, laughter

and hope – and she loved to wear tutus! Every year, Frankie will have the brightest, most beautiful tree at Norton Lights,” they wrote on their website. The Norton lights can be found at 213 Canterbury Road in Wells with designated times in December on Sunday-Thursdays, 5-9 p.m. and Friday-Saturdays, 5-10 p.m. For updates, schedules, directions and new additions to the show, visit www. nortonlights.org or find them on Facebook.

Meteor Shower & Lights This Weekend STATEWIDE The Geminid meteor shower is expected to peak this weekend, December 13-14 with the peak occurring Sunday evening to dawn on Monday. According to the American Meteor Society, a meteor shower is a celestial event in which a number of meteors are observed to radiate, or originate, from one point in the night sky called Radiant. These meteors are caused by streams of cosmic debris called meteoroids entering Earth’s atmosphere at extremely high speeds on parallel trajectories. The Geminids are usually the strongest meteor shower of the year that provides good activity prior to midnight and meteor enthusiasts are certain to mark

their calendars. The Geminids are also often bright and intensely colored. For more information, go to www.amsmeteors.org/ meteor-showers/meteor-showercalendar/. Also, due to an increase in solar flares, the Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights may also be visible in the night sky in the days to come. According to Space.

com, the best time to see the phenomenon is between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. and that active periods are typically about 30 minutes long and occur every two hours if the activity is high. The aurora is sporadic phenomenon occurring randomly for short periods. You can get an idea of how active See METEORS page 2... Don’t forget the 34th Annual

Drive-Thru “Turkey Stewfest” to Raise Money for Food Bank

WELLS Congdon’s Family Restaurant & Bakery will be serving homemade turkey stew at its drive-thru on Wednesday, December 16 in exchange for a donation to Good Shepherd Food Bank. In May, Congdon’s teamed with the Maine Masonic Charitable Foundation to host a “Chowderfest” that raised more than $30,000 for Good Shepherd Bank, which provides muchneeded food items to thousands of Maine families throughout the state. Food banks throughout the state and country have seen unprecedented demand during the COVID-19 pandemic. “We thought the need was big back in May, but it’s only gotten worse,” said Gary Leech, who owns Congdon’s along with

his wife Diane. “Every dollar goes directly to Good Shepherd Food Bank. They do an amazing job and have been a life-saver for so many Mainers during this difficult time.” “Every day, the Food Bank uses a fleet of eight trucks and trailers to pick up and distribute food throughout the entire state,” said Kristen Miale, president of Good Shepherd Food Bank. “Because of the pandemic, Maine’s food insecurity rate is predicted to grow by as much as 25 percent. Community events, like Congdon’s Doughnuts Turkey Stewfest, help support Good Shepherd Food Bank and our network of over 500 partner agencies to provide nutritious food to Mainers struggling with hunger.” All stew will be served cold

so guests can enjoy it safely at home. The stew will also come with a limited edition Congdon’s doughnut, made special for the event: chocolate filled doughnuts with peanut butter cup topping. There is no set price - all donations will be accepted and appreciated. Guests wishing to donate by check, should make it to “Good Shepherd Food Bank.” Anyone in need is welcome to take home stew with no donation. The event starts at noon on Wednesday, December 16 and

goes until the stew runs out. The length of the event will depend on the turnout. Guests are encouraged to join the drive-thru queue 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Congdon’s is located at 1090 Post Road on Route One in Wells. Congdon’s will also be collecting dry or canned food items to donate to the Food Bank. Sanitizing and paper products will also be accepted. In addition, Leech said many of his staff will be donating their time to distribute the food. Guests wishing to contribute to Congdon’s Giving Tree can also do so during Turkey Stewfest. Congdon’s has been collecting new, unwrapped toys, baby clothes, and diapers during the holidays for more than 20 years and have seen a record number of items donated this year. The items are then given to area organizations serving Maine families for distribution. During normal business hours (Thursday-Sunday), guests can get a free doughnut in exchange for a donation to the Giving Tree. For more information, email info@congdons.com.

~ News ~ AUGUSTA The Mills Administration announced recently that it will extend the requirement for certain businesses statewide to close by 9 p.m. through January 3, 2021. The extension, which lasts beyond New Year’s Eve, is aimed at limiting activities that lead to COVID-19 transmission, amid a sustained and dangerous increase in cases, hospitalizations, and positivity rates in Maine. “It is too early to know the impact of the Thanksgiving holiday on the spread of COVID-19 in Maine, but with hundreds of people getting sick all across the state, and many more dying and so many receiving critical care in our overburdened hospitals, we cannot afford to let down our

guard,” Governor Mills said. “This targeted step aims to limit evening gatherings in public settings where we know folks are more likely to let their guard down and expose themselves and others to this deadly virus. At the same time, this action allows businesses to stay open for the majority of their operating hours, as long as they comply with basic public health and safety measures. Of course, we are also cautioning against private gatherings as well. The fact is, any gathering of people for any reason, particularly without masking and social distancing, is a dangerous event. If we are not able to get this virus under control, other steps may be necessary. I ask all Maine people,

please do your part. Don’t take chances: wear your face covering, wash your hands, watch your distance and avoid gatherings. Getting back to normal sometime next year first requires us to survive the holidays this year.” Prior to Thanksgiving, the Mills Administration announced that all outdoor and indoor amusement venues, movie theaters, performing arts venues, casinos, and businesses that provide seated food and drink service, including social clubs, restaurants, and bars and tasting rooms currently open for outdoor service, must close for the night by 9 p.m. through December 6. “With increasing commu-

nity transmission, we all need to take steps to deny the virus opportunities to harm our friends, family, and loved ones,” said Dr. Nirav D. Shah, Director of the

Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention. “Delaying shared celebrations or adapting See CLOSING page 13...

Face coverings for the watchers and participants are required. We hope to see you there!

Mainers React Quickly to Assist in Locating Ash Trees Sold at Lowe’s AUGUSTA The Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry’s (DACF) Horticulture Program and Forest Health and Monitoring Division recently deployed an all-points bulletin requesting assistance locating thirty-six green ash trees sold at Lowe’s stores in Maine. Not surprisingly, considering the dangers of emerald ash borer (EAB) to Maine’s forests, Lowe’s customers responded massively. With the support of Maine media, social media, and Lowe’s Compliance Department, thirty of the thirty-six trees were located. State and federal inspectors have found no evidence of EAB infestation on these small-diameter trees. However, the threat remains with six trees still at large – the trees were imported into un-infested Maine towns from a nursery in Maryland where emerald ash borer is widespread. “Every tree owner with whom we spoke recognized the risks of keeping the recently purchased ash trees,” explained Regina Smith, Entomology Technician with the Maine Forest Service (MFS). The risks include: The potential for speeding up the introduction of EAB to their neighborhood; A future need for pesticide treatments for as many as ten years to maintain tree health; The possibility of violating plant quarantine laws. DACF is requesting remaining Lowe’s customers who purchased a green ash tree this year from any of the stores in Maine or New Hampshire to report them to bugwatch@ maine.gov or call 207-287-7545, so the tree(s) can be inspected for signs of EAB even if the tree may have died. Infested trees will have to be destroyed; healthy trees will need annual re-inspection until EAB is established in the area where the tree

was planted. The DACF Horticulture Program and Forest Health and Monitoring Division urge tree and shrub sellers to stop selling any Fraxinus species (white, green, black/brown ash) or Chionanthus) white fringe tree). DACF suggests that homeowners not plant these species because EAB will attack trees as small as one inch in diameter. Without regular insecticide treatments, most of the ash in Maine will succumb to this invasive green beetle. This fall, EAB infestations were confirmed in the towns of Van Buren in Aroostook County, Gorham in Cumberland County, and Ogunquit, Parsonsfield, and Shapleigh in York County. Targeted surveys by MFS staff to locate potential future biological control release sites uncovered the first detected infestation in the York County town of Newfield. A positive tree was also found in South Berwick. EAB was first detected in Maine in 2018 in both Aroostook County and York County. It was also found in 2019 through trapping in Cumberland County. These detections have led to quarantine regulations in all of York and Cumberland Counties and parts of Oxford and Aroostook Counties. Although EAB has not been detected in any new counties in 2020, DACF monitoring programs show EAB populations are expanding within already-regulated Maine areas.

~ Arts & Entertainment ~ “Charlotte’s Heaven” A True and Unique Story

By Joyce Amend YORK COUNTY – Charlotte was only 27 when she died suddenly. Her family was devastated by her untimely death – one that left them asking questions as they experienced shock and grief. Charlotte was known for her witty sense of humor and her beauty. Personally, I never knew Charlotte and never met her family… that is until now. To my surprise, I was recently contacted by Charlotte’s mother, Deb, who had a most unusual request… which I will get to in a moment. I am an artist and art instructor and Deb had seen some of my artist postings on Facebook. My background in the art world has given me many opportunities to explore various methods of art-making, including Acrylic Liquid Art Painting – commonly referred to as “Pour Painting”. No this is not a rebirth of Jackson Pollock style paintings where paint was literally poured on a surface to create random “splashes of color”. Acrylic Liquid Art Painting requires discipline and a true sense of value, color, and balance as paint is manipulated to achieve a desirable composition. So back to Charlotte’s Mom who contacted me. She had been looking to commission a “Pour Artist” who would create a galaxy-type painting in memory of her daughter who loved the galaxy, stargazing, and the beauty of the universe. She suggested that this painting would not only help to keep memories of Charlotte alive but would also serve to help with grieving and the process of healing. I was so touched by this request and replied that I would be happy to accept this commission and create the painting for her… but was unprepared for Deb’s next request: Would I incorporate some of Charlotte’s cremains into the painting! Though I had never done this before, I agreed. And so, the process of painting began. And I as I was putting colors and composition together, I almost became “connected” with Charlotte. I had never met her, but as I incorporated her cremains in a specific area of the galaxy, I audibly spoke to her: “Charlotte, I’m going to put you here, up in the heavens”. The painting was left to cure and then glazed with a protective epoxy finish that made everything glisten. I titled it “Char-

lotte’s Heaven”. The execution of this painting was a surreal moment as I developed an attachment with Charlotte. I wanted to know more about her. Why did she die so young? Was she ill? Was she in an accident? Why was her death a sudden one? Upon delivery of “Charlotte’s Heaven” to her mother, I asked those questions and learned that Deb had been a victim of opioid poisoning – a horrific affliction in our society today. Somehow, Charlotte had managed to hide her addiction from her family. Deb loves the painting and told me it would receive a special place in her home. The glittery gold dust that swooshes across the sky are meshed with Charlotte’s actual cremains, floating in the heavens. I also noticed a small angel that appeared as the paint was manipulated – an unintentional surprise! For me, this was a beautiful, memorable experience that I wanted to share. Joyce Amend, artist and author of this story, specializes in Acrylic Pour Painting and Zentangle Drawing. She may be reached for comment at joyce amend.seacoastart@gmail.com.

~ Ask The Computer Lady ~

Dear Computer Lady, You give easy-to-understand instructions in your answers to all us folks whom you help. Thanks. My question: When I search the start menu for the Control Panel, the ‘oldstyle’ control panel display comes up (too many choices). How do I get back to the control panel display that installed with Windows 10? Thanks a bunch, Jan Dear Jan, Windows 10 has named the newer version of the control panel, “Windows Settings”. You can access it by clicking on the start button, then click on the little gear icon just above the power icon. The gear icon will open a window named Windows Settings that is made for Windows 10, unlike the old

control panel. Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, I have followed you for years and learned do much about my computer. As an elder person I cannot understand a lot of what is written about some programs. What I am asking is, what is the best free quicken I can download to use for just my home checking account? There are so many out there but have so many attachments added on I am afraid to download one. Thank you so much, Janice Dear Janice, There are a lot of quicken alternatives out there, and I totally understand your hesitance to download software that might come with unwanted extras. If you search for “Open

source alternatives to Quicken” you will find quite a few options, but I don’t have any experience with any of them. The best free option for you might be software that is already on your computer, and will not be discontinued anytime in the near future, and that is your spreadsheet. You wouldn’t have to create a spreadsheet from scratch since Office already has a checkbook register template at https://templates.off ice. com/en-us/Checkbook-register -TM10190983. If you have Microsoft Office, you can use Excel, if not, you can use the spreadsheet program in a free office suite like LibreOffice. Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, In Facebook, a friend’s picture came up where you are asked to confirm, I stupidly, not thinking, confirmed. Then saw where my friend wrote someone was using her to befriend

people. I unfriended one of them but I may have unfriended the wrong one. What is going to happen? What do I do? I am so upset over this! Thank you so much, and thank you for being there to help people like me! Sincerely, Helen Dear Helen, Usually what happens when someone creates an account that looks like someone else, then asks to be friends with you, is that they start chatting with you and try to get you to send them money because you think it is really your friend, and they tell you some sad story about being robbed or sick or something. What you can do now, is ask your friend to check and see if you are still friends with her. If you are not, just ask her to send you a new friend request and unfriend the imposter before you accept her request. You or your friend can report the fake account to Facebook,

and they will quickly close the fake account. In the future, when you get a friend request from someone you think you are already friends with, check to see how many friends this person has. Most imposters have only a handful of friends compared to someone with an established account. Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, Thanks for all your help. I enjoy your column and benefit from much of the information you provide to others. Recently my email inbox has become overwhelmed with much trash. I wonder if there is some way that I can unsubscribe to as many as say 20 email websites all at once using some type of batch process. I know how to delete them as a block but they continue to return. I am using Thunderbird. If you can help me here it would be much appreciated. Robert Dear Robert, It sounds like your email address has found its way onto a list that is sold to spammers. Once this happens, it is difficult to stop the junk mail from coming. Spammers don’t follow the rules that legitimate email newsletters follow. There are a few things you can do to try and limit the junk. The most effective solution would be to change your email address. I realize that this is also a drastic solution and involves a lot of work changing your address and notifying friends and businesses. Another good solution would be to open a gmail email account and use it to filter the mail coming to your current email address. Gmail has excellent junk mail filters. You could also gradually change your email address while not missing messages from the old address. There are spam filters that you can install on your computer like Spamfighter, Mailwasher, and SpamEater, just to name a few. Some are free and some cost money. They all require you to install and then spend time “training” them to recognize what you consider to be junk mail. Elizabeth Interested in learning more? Elizabeth has answered thousands of computer questions over the years. To submit a question, email her at elizabeth.boston@gmail.com.

~ News ~ Summer Reading Program Continues Through Fall WELLS The summer of 2020 saw the Wells-Ogunquit CSD’s Summer Reading Program enter its fifth year. Over time it has helped many students stay motivated to read throughout the long summer months. However, this year, with a pandemic altering school routine and normalcy, its function and importance has expanded. Instead of ending in early September, it has continued into the fall of this unusual year. The reading incentive program, the idea of WOCSD Superintendent Jim Daly, began modestly at Wells Junior High School in 2016 under the direction of WJHS Librarian Lynn Mercier. It has since expanded to reach into all of the District’s schools. Normally, as summer recess approaches, students are able to select two books that they want to read for the summer. These books are from a wide selection of new paperbacks that they can take home and keep for free. This year, distributing two books to each student at WJHS

began again in the fall and, according to Mercier, will be completed in January. Since the school’s library is now closed to students due to COVID-19, Mercier travels around the school with her book cart visiting students in each English language arts (ELS) classroom where she distributes the paperbacks. “I think it’s a tremendous opportunity to encourage reading for our kids!” commented Superintendent Daly recently. “Ms. Mercier has done an out-

standing job promoting literacy throughout our district.” Local bookseller Francine Tanguay of Annie’s Book Stop in Wells has also been instrumental in the success of this reading program since its beginning. Her knowledge of books mixed with an understanding of what kids really like to read for pleasure when away from school has proved pivotal. Tanguay recommends, orders, and provides the books at a discount. She also donates many

books whenever possible. “Compiling the lists for the Summer Reading Program is a group effort between the three school librarians with special attention paid to fun reading for the students,” commented Tanguay in an email. “Given the number of students involved and (the) varied interests of the student body, the book selection ranges from picture books (for) early readers to various types of fiction and nonfiction for all age groups and abilities.” Librarian Mercier says she finds Tanguay to be very supportive, flexible and a great mentor. “She has helped to put lots of books in students’ hands over the years,” said Mercier who added that “Francine helps us stretch our dollar!” With the exception of 2020, Tanguay estimates, that 1,000 books are now provided yearly for students. “In this pandemic year, books are more important than ever to relieve the sense of isolation we all are experiencing but especially for our kids,” noted Tanguay. “The program is an investment in our future as a community because these kids

are our future.” The WJHS Principal Josh Gould concluded, “We are thrilled to be able to put copies of books into our student’s hands in a safe manner. Reading activates the imagination. During a pandemic, the imagination is a great friend!” ...CLOSING from page 3 holiday traditions in ways that allow us to spread good cheer without spreading the virus can help ease stress on Maine’s health care system and potentially save lives.” The early closure time, however, still allows these businesses to maintain some daytime operations. Curbside pickup and delivery service are still permitted after 9 p.m. Early business closing times are in line with actions taken by other states, including Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Vermont, and New York. COV I D -19 pre ve nt ion checklists have been updated to reflect the change and can be viewed at www.maine.gov/decd/ covid-19-prevention-checklists.

www.joshuas.biz Dear Friends,

Regretfully, we are going to close our dining rooms for the time being. The virus combined with current fears and restrictions have made our business model unsustainable. Our dining rooms aren’t full of people enjoying each other’s company, appreciating our service, giving warmth and life to our little restaurant. It just isn’t the same; it is too quiet. While getting a quiet table might be great for some, it isn’t great for our bottom line. Closing our dining rooms is the most difficult decision I’ve ever had to make. It crushes me to layoff the people who have made it great. I hate it, but I need to give Joshua’s a fighting chance to make it through. In the meantime, we are going to keep making breads, ice cream and pie. We’ll keep grilling, searing and roasting. We’ll continue planning out our gardens at Easter Orchard Farm and harvesting from its greenhouses. We will keep preparing for the day when we can reopen our doors to you. Tuesdays through Saturdays starting at 5pm, we will continue offering takeout and curbside pickup. Our menu can be found at joshuasrestaurantandbar.com. Thank you, Josh

$200,000 for Maine to Combat Alzheimer’s Disease WASHINGTON, D.C. The Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention (Maine CDC) received a $200,000 grant to fight Alzheimer’s through a new law authored by U.S. Senator Susan Collins, the Chairman of the Aging Committee and a founder and Co-Chair of the Congressional Task Force on Alzheimer’s Disease. The funding will be used to expand support services for people with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Maine is among the first 15 public health entities nationally to receive fund-

ing through this new program Senator Collins created. In 2018, Congress passed and the President signed into law Senator Collins’ Building Our Largest Dementia (BOLD) Infrastructure for Alzheimer’s Act.

with a focus on issues such as increasing early detection and diagnosis, risk reduction, prevention of avoidable hospitalizations, and supporting dementia caregiving. “Alzheimer’s disease is one of the greatest and most underrecognized public health threats of our time. Millions of Americans and thousands of Mainers are living with this disease, and that number is soaring as our overall population grows older and people live longer,” said Senator Collins. “I am pleased that Maine was one of the first states to receive funding through the BOLD Act that I authored, which will support an expansion of our modern infrastructure for the prevention, treatment, and care of Alzheimer’s and related dementias.” Maine’s initial award is $200,000, which can be renewed annually through 2023. With this funding, the Maine CDC will collaborate with governmental and nongovernmental partners to build Maine’s Alzheimer’s Prevention Program based on the Healthy Brain Initiative Road Map and advance Maine’s efforts as a designated Age Friendly State. Maine has led the country for years in the number of towns and counties that have joined the AARP Network of Age-Friendly States and Communities. Approximately 5.5 million Americans–and 28,000 Mainers–are living with Alzheimer’s. This disease costs the United

$7.5M to Combat Opioid Crisis WASHINGTON, D.C. U.S. Senators Susan Collins and Angus King announced that 10 Maine organizations have received a total of $7,455,970 to help combat the opioid crisis. The investments will enable Maine community health centers, rural organizations, and hospitals to establish and expand access to integrated substance use disorder

States more than $277 billion per year, including $186 billion in costs to Medicare and Medicaid. Without further action, the number of Americans with Alzheimer’s is expected to triple to as many as 14 million by 2050, costing the nation more than $1.1 trillion per year.

Seacoast Artists Raise Over $3,500 for Footprints Food Pantry YORK A group of seacoast artists biked 52 miles from York to South Portland on October 6 and raised over $3,500, donated by more than 60 generous supporters, for Footprints Food Pantry, serving the communities of Kittery and Eliot. The ride was initiated by musician Kent Allyn. He and filmmaker/musician Jim White laid out a 52-mile route along the coast, up the Eastern Trail and through the Scarborough marsh, with South Portland’s Bug Light as the destination. “The idea and

and mental health services. The funding was awarded through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). “The opioid crisis is devastating families and communities across our state, claiming the life of nearly one Mainer per day on average last year,” said Senators Collins and King in a joint statement. “This important funding will give Mainers who are struggling with substance use disorders access to the treatment programs they need to achieve recovery and healing.” Local funding included York Hospital that received $125,000 through the Office of National Drug Control Policy’s (ONDCP) Drug Free Communities (DFC) Grant Program.

energy for the ride was an outgrowth of the pandemic,” says Kent Allyn. “There has been so much sorrow at the loss of life and livelihood, and also a determination to keep on keepin’ on, to help out, to make a change.” Allyn and White were joined by theatre artist Genevieve Aichele for the full 52 miles, with local bike guru, car doctor and musician Doug Bennett and veteran journalist Amy Miller riding partway. “We were a merry band of cyclists,” Allyn continues. “Two lifelong asthmatics in their sixties on 40-year-old bicycles packing inhalers, and another in his early seventies, a grandfather of six, on a modern bike.” The riders hope to call attention to the fact that food insecurity is prevalent even on the prosperous seacoast and that nationwide, hunger has tripled since the pandemic began. As professional artists, they also hope to support their peers and colleagues who are struggling financially. “Unemployment in the entertainment industry is currently at 47%,” says Genevieve Aichele. “Many of us are one paycheck away from needing the food pantry ourselves.” Footprints Food Pantry has been connecting individuals and families in the seacoast community to food since 1992. The Pantry supplies food to over 100 families each week, including delivery to 19 housebound seniors. For more information go to www.footprintsfoodpantry.org.

Health & Fitness Movie “Angst” to Help the Anxious STATEWIDE On Tuesday, December 15, 6:30-8:30 p.m., several community health coalitions throughout Maine have pull funds together for a statewide screening of the movie “Angst” (www. angstmovie.com), a film-based education program designed to raise awareness around anxiety with an emphasis on youth and

families. The film includes interviews with kids, teens, experts, and parents. A live panel discussion will follow which includes access to further resources and materials. Featured on the panel are: Kellie Bailey, Social-Emotional Learning Specialist, Maine Department of Education; Bear Shea, Mental Health & School

Counseling Specialist for the Maine Department of Education; Catie Drew, Outreach and Prevention, Maine Drug Enforcement Agency; and as moderator, Gina K. Brodsky, Prevention Specialist and Project Coordinator, Choose to Be Healthy Coalition.

VA Improves Process Speed for Mail-In Claims WASHINGTON, D.C. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) recently announced that the Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) has improved procedures by incorporating an artificial intelligence (AI) solution to reduce the time it takes to process in-coming mail from 10 days to just one day. The software reads the mail document contents and automatically routes it to VA employees working the next step of the claims process; which means faster processing of the information Veterans send to VBA in support of their claims.

OSHA Grant to Prevent Spread PORTLAND Congresswoman Chellie Pingree (D-ME) announced the University of Southern Maine (USM) will receive a grant of $153,342 from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to provide 1,000 Maine employees and workers in health care, manufacturing, and food supply with online COVID19 training. “Employees who are on the front lines of this global public health crisis should be given all the tools they need to help prevent and mitigate the spread of the coronavirus. I’m proud to see USM take advantage of OSHA programming and repurpose it for the current need. I’m hopeful this funding will provide key information to essential workers, keeping them–and our communities–safe,” said Pingree. USM’s grant will provide 1.25 hours of online COVID-19 training for at-risk/high fatality workers in the fields of health care, manufacturing, and food supply. Training will include recognition, prevention, and mitigation of transmission of COVID-19.

“Moving past manual mail processes to automation puts the emphasis on Veterans,” said VA Secretary Robert Wilkie. “This new capability allows VA to process Veterans’ claims quickly and efficiently.” On average VBA receives more than 550,000 pieces of mail per month related to benefits and services. The volume of mail

comes from submissions by Veterans, surviving spouses, service agencies, attorneys and claims agents. This mail is often the starting point to initiate a claim or provide supportive documentation for potential benefits and services they may be eligible for; in addition to general inquires. For more information, visit www.benefits.va.gov/benefits/.

Community Services, Healthy Acadia, Healthy Communities of the Capital Area, Project Alliance, River Valley Rising, and Somerset Public Health, hope to help people identify and understand the symptoms of anxiety

and encourage them to reach out if help is needed. A recorded version of this event will be available on December 17-18. For more information, email gina.brodsky@ yorkhospital.com.

FINANCE & CAREER $1.4M for Maine Startups & Entrepreneurs

PORTLAND Congresswoman Chellie Pingree (D-ME) announced the award of three grants from the Economic Development Association (EDA) for Maine’s small business innovation, totaling $1,412,525. The grants will support startup, creation, innovation, and commercialization in a range of fields, from bioscience to agriculture to technology. “At a time when the future of many businesses is challenging or unclear, businesses will need to be innovative to survive. Early capital and access to industry experts is key for startups to grow into successful businesses. As a member of the House Appropriations Committee, I’ve long championed federal investment in Maine’s small businesses and I’m proud that a variety of Maine businesses –from farms and technology companies to bioscience–will take advantage of this funding,” said Pingree. Details of the grants are available below: Maine Center for Enterprise Development, Maine Bioscience Cluster Initiative ($512,556): This EDA investment funds the Maine Bioscience Cluster Initiative, to support the growth and success of Maine’s bioscience industry from idea initiation, through startup, initial funding, and talent development. Central Maine Growth

Council, Dirigo Labs: Fostering Innovation and Collaboratively Supporting Maine-based Entrepreneurs ($599,969): This EDA investment funds the Dirigo Labs: Fostering Innovation and Collaboratively Supporting Maine-based Entrepreneurs, to stimulate the establishment and growth of technology-based start-ups in mid-Maine, focusing on Maine-based, high-growth industry sectors including: bioeconomy, information technology, financial services, and innovation within Maine’s legacy industries of precision manufacturing and blue economy, which extends to emerging environmental technologies in marine and aquaculture clusters. Coastal Enterprises, Inc. (CEI), The Catalyst Fund: Early Equity Capital to Grow Maine’s Food Economy ($300,000): This EDA investment funds the Catalyst Fund: Early Equity Capital to Grow Maine’s Food Economy, to provide innovative, early stage equity capital to food system businesses with the potential for high growth, job creation, and positive environmental and social impacts. As a member of the House Appropriations Committee, Pingree advocated for the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA) to receive $333 million in programmatic funding in Fiscal Year 2020 due to the program’s demonstrated success in private sector job creation and economic growth in distressed areas.

Support for School Systems AUGUSTA Governor Janet Mills dedicated an additional $164 million in CARES Act Coronavirus Relief Funds (CRF) to support school systems as they continue to implement health and safety protocols to protect students, staff, and their families amid the COVID-19 pandemic. These new funds build on the Mills Administration’s initial investment of $165 million earlier this year. “School officials across Maine are working day and night to protect the health of their students, their staff, and their communities while providing a high quality education. They deserve our full and unwavering support,” said Governor Mills. “This funding helps ensure that our schools are best equipped as they can be to meet the challenges they face now as well as any that may arise this fall.” “We recognize the incredible efforts of school communities across Maine who are working tirelessly to protect the health and safety of staff and students,” said Pender Makin, Commissioner of Education. “These funds are critically important to address the immediate need for increased staffing, supplies and technology to ensure that schools can safely and flexibly meet the educational, social-emotional and nutritional needs of their students during these unprecedented times.”

Maine’s Billion for COVID-19 STATEWIDE Maine’s share of the federal COVID-19 “CARES Act” funding totaled $1.25 billion. This money is earmarked for unexpected expenses related to the COVID-19 pandemic. So far, state government has spent three-quarters of those funds. To download a pdf file to see where the money has gone so far, go to http://legislature.maine.gov/ doc/4476.

Beginning next week, the funds will be distributed to School Administrative Units (SAUs) based on an equitable, weighted formula that the Maine Department of Education developed in collaboration with School Superintendents from across the state. The Maine Department of Education will first provide each SAU with its maximum allocation according to the formula. SAUs will then complete an application describing how the funds will be spent in order to remain within the constraints Congress has placed on the use of CRF monies and attest to their compliance with the health and safety requirements of the Framework for ReOpening Schools and Returning to In-person Instruction. Once the applications are approved, SAUs can begin submitting receipts for reimbursement of approved expenditures. “These funds have been critical to schools’ ability to open safely,” said MSSA Executive Director, Eileen King. “The first round of funds were frequently allocated to facility and technology upgrades that were needed for a safe and efficient return to school, where possible. This second round of funding will assist school and district leaders as they address

the continued needs that arise from evolving and flexible plans, and ensure they have the resources and staffing for a safe learning environment.” Schools may use these additional CRF funds to pay for substitute teachers or learning facilitators as well as other needs such as transportation and facility modifications to support physical distancing; cleaning supplies for buses or buildings; contract custodial, tutoring, and medical staffing; technology and ongoing connectivity needs; and professional development for teachers who must become fluent in hybrid and remote learning models in order to accommodate all students, among other possibilities. With this second investment, the Mills Administration has dedicated $329 million to support Maine students and teachers as school districts pursue in-person, hybrid, or remote learning options, meeting the total need for start-up and ongoing operational costs for schools identified by the Maine Department of Education earlier this year.

Senator Collins Visits ARCH Global Precision

ARUNDEL U.S. Senator Susan Collins visited ARCH Global Precision in Arundel to say hello to employees and tour their facility, including a 20,000-square-foot addition that is under construction and expected to be completed this fall. “The highly skilled employees at ARCH Global Precision are

doing impressive work to serve the medical, aerospace, defense, and industrial sectors,” said Senator Collins. “The complex machining being done at ARCH provides nearly 100 good-paying jobs to Mainers, and their vision, energy, and determination show that the future for manufacturing in Maine is bright. I will continue to support the important work being done at ARCH.” ARCH Arundel specializes in high-precision complex machining of nickel alloys, stainless steel, and aluminum using multi-axis machining centers and ultra-high-precision grinding for the aerospace and defense market, along with the semiconductor and oil/gas industries. Once the new addition is complete this fall, the Arundel facility will encompass 60,000 square feet.

Robert E. Butler Sr., 96 YORK – Robert (Bob) Emerson Butler, 96, died peacefully on November 7, 2020 surrounded by family. Bob was born in Salem, MA, on March 15, 1924, son of Calvin David Butler and Dora Ramsdell Butler. He was two years old when his mother died so he moved to Machais to live with his paternal grandmother, Susie Butler. He graduated from Machais High School in 1941 and Coburn Classical Institute in 1942. He was enlisted in the service and assigned overseas to the 104th Infantry Division and later to the Medical Detachment of the 1272nd Combat Engineer Battalion. Following his return, Bob married Gertrude McFarland of Bar Harbor: “The best and greatest thing I ever did,” he said. They were married for 63 years. After changes in his college major, he eventually graduated with a BS Degree from Springfield College, MA from University of Maine, and MA in Chemistry from University of New Hampshire. Mr. Butler taught and coached basketball and baseball at Berwick High School. In 1952 he came to York where he taught chemistry and biology while serving 25 years as the first Director of Athletics at York High School. Later he became the Assistant Principal and continued to serve as the Athletic Director until he retired in 1983. Bob made contributions to several authors who had written about Maine High School Basketball. He received several awards and recognition such as the Ollie Berg Memorial Award and the Larry LaBrie Award. His 33 years of service to the Southern York Secondary School Association was recognized through the Robert E. Butler Award, based on athleticism and character. Upon his retirement Bob was honored by the York School De-

partment with the naming of the new gymnasium at York High School as the Robert E. Butler Gymnasium. Anyone who knew Bob realized that his love for his students, education, and athletics was second only to the love for his family. Having experienced the loss of his mother, father, grandmother, and brother while he was still young, made keeping his family close of paramount importance. Mr. Butler was predeceased by his wife of 63 years Gertrude, who passed away on February 20, 2008 while attending the Western Maine Tournament. He is survived by three children, Robert, Jr. and wife Delight, WandaLee Avery, and David and wife Crystal, all of York; nine grandchildren; 18 great-grandchildren; sister-in-law Helena Butler of Portsmouth, NH; and nieces and nephews.

Friday, November 20, 2020 at York Hospital with his wife by his side.

We are often asked by the families we serve, here at JS Pelkey & Son and Bernier Funeral Homes, why certain expressions and traditions exist in the funeral service industry. One of the most often asked questions is “Why send flowers to a memorial service or funeral, aren’t they just a waste of money?” Well nothing could be further from the truth. As my friend Todd Van Beck recently wrote in an article: Flowers are sent to funerals for several reasons. Flowers are a means of expression. It is often difficult for those mourning a death to put feelings into words. Flowers are a visual expression of love, sympathy, and respect. They are a way of lending support and sharing the burden of grief. In addition to sending flowers to the funeral, there is a growing trend to send flowers to the home of the bereaved after the service. Some people also send flowers to the church in memory of the deceased. Flowers create a background of warmth and beauty which adds to the dignity and consolation of the service. Those who have attended services where there were no flowers have noted that something was

bereaved’s feelings in the patterns of community support which are psychologically beneficial. Flowers, however, express the inexpressible – they are symbolic.

missing – that the funeral was depressing. The funeral meets the bereaved’s need for support. Death throws people into despair and depression by separating them from one who has provided love, companionship, and security. The funeral and customs provide the means by which those close to them can give their support and share their suffering. The funeral period provides for the expression of sorrow. Only through talking about the past can the bereaved person realize the extent of the relationship with the deceased, and accept the loss and suffering. Only through weeping and talking to good listeners can they release their grief and feelings of guilt and hostility. Experts in grief therapy believe that it can be expressed best through rites, rituals, and ceremonies. The ceremony deals primarily with intellectual concepts and doesn’t fully engage the

125 Old Post Rd., Kittery, ME 207-439-4900 www.jspelkeyfuneralhome.com

There are three points to be stressed, finally, in connection with the tradition of funeral flowers. First, the role of flowers are both symbolic and aesthetic. They add great value to the richness and meaning of the ritual. Second, flowers represent sympathy extended to the bereaved. Third, flowers are sent to both the living and the dead. They are sent to the living as comfort and as tokens of respect for the deceased. We, at the JS Pelkey & Son and the Bernier Funeral Homes, hold the value of the work our local florists do in very high regard. We always encourage the families we serve to contact a local florist directly. Certainly there are national floral outlets that can be reached with a simple Google search but, honestly, the quality of these products are often substandard. Simply click the “Send Flowers” tab on our website and you will be directed to our list of trusted florists. Please call us about any questions with which we may help.

Kennebunkport Historical Society Awarded Mooneyhan Family Foundation Grant KENNEBUNKPORT The Mooneyhan Family Foundation has made a Grant of $10,000 to the Kennebunkport Historical Society. Longtime volunteers Larry and Marylou Ryan applied for the grant in March to help support educational programs run at the Historical Society. “We are so excited to receive this generous grant from the Mooneyhan Foundation. The Kennebunkport Historical Society has worked with schools in York County for many years to provide local schools with local history. These funds will be used to help with transportation of school kids to and from Historical Society locations and will also help fund our educational programs,” said Executive Administrator Kirsten Camp. “We are grateful to Steven and Jocelyn Lacey for their continued support and volunteerism at

the Kennebunkport Historical Society, thanks to their family’s foundation a new generation of local kids will get firsthand knowledge of Kennebunkport’s rich history.” The Mooneyhan Family Foundation was formed by the family of Dr. Jerry Mooneyhan in April 2001 to pay tribute to his life. Dr. Mooneyhan was a dentist in Johnson City, Tenn., where he was involved in a variety of community endeavors. He was also the inventor of an endodontics tool, a flexible root canal file made from nickel titanium. After his untimely death to lung cancer in 1997, Dr. Mooneyhan’s

family sought a way to remember and honor his life. The Mooneyhan Family Foundation strives, through grantmaking, to carry on Dr. Mooneyhan’s vision of building on a community’s strengths to improve life for all.

that remained this year. Despite the pandemic, the event’s attendance was also the highest it has ever been in the event’s history; 2,646 guests attended over the nine days. Six event days sold out before they began. Each hour was capped at 50 guests, who were further spread out on three trolleys each operating at 25% capacity, and across the museum’s 350-acre campus. Orlando states, “Many families commented on how happy they were that we re-imagined the event and how seriously we took COVID-19 measures. Many shared that this was the first activity they had participated in for a while, some even since March. All guests followed our strict policies and we are so appreciative of how respectful they were to our staff and volunteers. For more information, visit www.trolleymuseum.org or call 207-967-2800.

Jacqueline (Thomas) Chase, 94 YORK – Jacqueline Chase passed away peacefully in her sleep on November 23, 2020. She was a resident of Durgin Pines

where the amazing staff took incredible care of her. In 1945 Jackie graduated from the Edward F. Searles High School in Methuen, MA. She then spent three years living at the Lawrence General Hospital where she earned her nursing degree. After graduation Jackie got a job as an RN at the Veteran’s Hospital in Manchester, NH. As fate would have it on the first day of her job, a stock car racer from York was admitted with a broken leg. A romance was born and their love story began. Easter Sunday, April 13, 1952, Jackie and Raymond

Chase were married in Methuen. Together they raised their children Lisa, Scott married to Mary (Tuttle), Susan, Paul married to Holly (Moore), and Rebecca married to Alex Wiler. As her family grew so did Jackie’s love. Her happiest moments were spent with her grandchildren Erica Davies of York, Brandon and Jennifer (Allen) Davies of Brunswick, Zachary and Alyssa (Spang) Chase of Cape Neddick, and Aaron Chase of Cape Neddick. When the great grandchildren, Madison, Annabelle, Lucas, and Lydia, came along “Gigi” was in her glory. She also loved

spending time with her nieces, nephews, and countless friends. Jackie was a loving, devoted wife and mother. She will be fondly remembered for her amazing pies, making sure the gum jar was always filled for her young grandchildren, and giving her great grandchildren gum drops “one of each color”. She was predeceased by her true love, Raymond Chase, her parents Arthur and Mabel (Wilkinson) Thomas of Methuen, her sister Nancy Clough of North Andover, MA, and her precious daughter Lisa.

~ Pets ~ Safe Haven Humane Society WELLS At Safe Haven, we don’t decide which cats must be adopted together. The cats choose. And when they do, we grant their wish. Lucas, Cali, and Blankie, have made their wishes very clear. They’ve shown deep love and affection for one another in group hugs and the games they play together. We know that finding a family who will adopt all three might be a tall order, but hey it’s Christmas time, when even big wishes are granted! Cali arrived solo as a 1.5-year-old from a household with four other kitties and a dog. She got along very well with the dog, but one of the other cats wouldn’t accept her. To keep peace, they surrendered Cali to Safe Haven. At that time, we had just separated a litter from a mother named Miso, who had surprised us all by delivering a second

litter of eight. To ensure she had enough milk for her new kittens, her older litter had to be removed. Those kittens were put in the next room with Cali, separated by a screen door. We noticed that they seemed to love Cali because she looked like their mom, a Calico. Eventually we combined Cali with the kittens and magic happened. Lucas and the little calico named Blankie, because she always hid under her blanket, bonded and became a new blended family. Cali is a beautiful young calico, healthy, active, loving, and affectionate with people. Sevenmonth-old female Blankie and

Eagle Scout Builds Support for AWS’ Training Program

KENNEBUNK The Animal Welfare Society (AWS) was the recipient of a donation of hand-crafted agility equipment for its Canine Behavior and Training Program. AWS’ training program runs group training classes and one-on-one behavior consultations for members of the public and supports the training and wellbeing of resident (shelter) dogs during their stay at AWS. Annually, the program reaches more than 1,000 dogs. The program is supported by three full- and part-time Certified Professional Dog Trainers. The donation was the result of an Eagle Scout service project completed by Connor Carey, 17, of Eliot. Carey reached out AWS because of his life-long love of dogs and his desire to make a difference for pets in his community. Through this Eagle Scout service project, Carey worked with AWS training staff to plan the project to best benefit AWS, he fundraised to purchase parts and he oversaw the construction and creation of the agility pieces. Through it all, he developed the strong leadership skills needed to earn the rank of Eagle Scout. “The agility equipment that Connor designed and built is a huge asset to AWS,” explains Roberta Guertin, AWS’ Behav-

ior and Training Administrative Manager. “With the number of dogs that take part in our programs each year, our agility and training equipment takes some wear and tear. Connor’s contribution will help us to continue to provide enrichment and fun to the dogs here at AWS awaiting adoption as well as the dogs that participate through our public group classes.” Guertin continues, “We are grateful to Connor for all his hard work and dedication to the project and the animals. The equipment has already been used by our eager dogs here at the shelter and by agile students in several of our classes. We have had nothing but positive reviews!” The staff and volunteers at AWS congratulate Carey on earning his Eagle Scout rank and thank him for supporting the dogs in his community.

Michael K. Nazemetz, DVM, 70 Dear Family and Friends, My loving husband, Michael K. Nazemetz, DVM, lost his courageous battle against pancreatic cancer Sunday morning, November 15, 2020. He was home, where he was always happiest. I was blessed to be at his side. We started our journey together in 1976, purchasing our home in 1980 and marrying in January 1983. Michael was born on March 4, 1950 in Somerville, NJ, son of Mary and John Nazemetz. He was proud of his heritage, both sets of grandparents having emigrated from Ukraine through Ellis Island, settling in New Jersey, Growing up on a dairy/vegetable farm with his maternal grandparents next door, Michael gained a strong work ethic. His innovative resourcefulness was among the many traits acquired from his grandfather. Michael’s creativity was vast, he could fix or build just about anything. His talents are evident all around our farm from his hand built barn, sheds and prized sugar shack, to the many rock walls crafted to enhance the landscape and our multiple gardens, plus the orchard he so loved. A proud graduate of Michigan State University College of Veterinary Medicine, he enjoyed the successful practice of veterinary medicine for over 40 years. In April of 1984, we started Village Veterinary Clinic in Rollinsford, NH, receiving a National Veterinary Award for Best Use of a Small Space. Best known as “Dr. Mike” throughout the seacoast area, he will be forever remembered for his compassion, honest practical approach and true empathy for others which won the hearts of hundreds of clients. He treasured his employees, whom he considered family. Mainly, he will be remembered for his unending kindness. M ichael approached everything in his life with deep passion. An avid bicyclist, Michael was a 20-year veteran of the Maine Lung Association’s Trek Across Maine. Sailing was one of his many passions; a skilled woodworker, he built two sailboats that he enjoyed racing

~ Obituaries & News ~ with friends off the Owls Head peninsula in Penobscot Bay. He loved fishing, especially when shared with family and friends. Michael’s love of music brought him great joy. He shared the belief that music has the power to change the world. Always the learner, he played guitar and stand-up bass, and loved to sing. He enjoyed gathering monthly with his circle of music friends and listening to local talent. In past years Michael served on the boards of the Somersworth VNA, the Cocheco Valley Humane Society, and the Susan L. Curtis Foundation. He was an active member of Rotary for over 30 years. He is survived by his younger brother John and wife Jeanette of Stillwater, OK, and older sister, Patricia Rydberg and husband Herb of Bridgwater, NJ. His family also includes my sisters, Judith Moses of Camden, Jane Hall and husband Ron of Tenants Harbor, and my brothers Edgar Hussey Jr. and wife Sally of Jefferson, and Dennis Hussey and wife Suzanne of Easton. He also leaves several special cousins. As a good friend wrote, “Michael was the perfect Uncle, the fun uncle, the playful uncle, the one who teased and still imparted wisdom.” He will be forever fondly remembered by our many nieces and nephews. Due to continued restrictions of COVID-19, I invite you to gather in early May for a celebration of Michael’s life and a sharing of stories, date TBD.

Michael graced the world with his gentle disposition, warm smile, and his ever constant wit and wisdom. A role model and mentor to so many, his passing is a loss for all who knew him.

Enjoying Outdoors on Private Land STATEWIDE Roughly 94% of Maine’s forest land is privately owned, and more than half of that land area is open to the public. In total, landowners voluntarily open up more than 10 million acres of working farms and forests. This access is an incredible gift, and in order to preserve it, everyone who ventures outdoors needs to understand the contribution that landowners make. Most private landowners are happy to allow outdoor recreation, including hunting and fishing, on their land, as long as their property is treated with respect. But it’s important to re-

member that the private land you use for recreation belongs to someone else, just as surely as your car or home belongs to you, and accessing it is a privilege, not a right. Accessing private land: there’s the law, and then there’s the unwritten rule. The law - Unlike most other states, Maine operates under an implied permission structure, meaning that if land is not posted, it is legal to use the land. The unwritten rule Always ask permission. Hunting, fishing, or otherwise using private land without the See LAND page 30...

Updated Community Sports Checklist Released

AUGUSTA To align with the Maine Principals’ Association’s updated guidance for winter sports, the Mills Administration recently posted an updated COVID-19 Prevention Checklist for Community Sports which can be found at www.maine.gov/decd/ checklists/community-sports. This change, made in collaboration with public health experts, the Maine Principals Association and others, delays the start of team-based practices and team-based scrimmaging for moderate and high-risk winter sports from December 14 until January 4, 2021. The Maine Principals’ Association made this

change to their guidance as well. The decision allows for skill-building drills or conditioning to begin as scheduled with face coverings, physical distancing, no close contact, and in limited numbers when possible. This will allow for athletes to participate in exercise despite the delay in team-based practice and within-team competition. The Community Sports Checklist applies to community-based sports clubs, teams, and events. It does not apply to professional and collegiate sports, which are governed by professional and intercollegiate association guidelines as well as applicable Executive Orders.

Seven States Suspend Interstate Youth Hockey Competition AUGUSTA In response to recent coronavirus outbreaks associated with the conduct of interstate youth hockey activities, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy, Maine Governor Janet Mills, Rhode Island Governor Gina Raimondo, New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu, Vermont Governor Phil Scott, Connecticut Governor Ned

Lamont, and Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker will support a regional approach to interstate competitions. As case numbers increase in many states across the country, it is critical that neighboring states coordinate a regional approach to limit further community spread of the virus. The seven states will suspend interstate competitions

...LAND from page 28 owner’s permission is a careless move that puts everyone’s future access at risk. When venturing into the Maine woods, follow the unwritten rule. 7 Ways to be a Good Land User Landowners who permit you to use their land for outdoor recreational activities are not only doing you a favor, they are placing their trust in you. Here are seven ways you can prove their trust is not misplaced: Always ask for permission, whether or not there are signs on the property requesting that you do so, and regardless of who owns it (a private individual or a business). If you for public and private schools and youth hockey effective through December 31. The prohibition will not impact interstate collegiate, professional, or U.S. national team hockey activities, which will remain subject to existing health and safety protocols and/or restrictions. As public health data continues to evolve, the states will reassess the need for continued restrictions on interstate sports activities.

don’t know who the landowner is, contact the town office to determine the name of the landowner(s) or look up the person or business’s contact information online and give them a call; When mapping out where you’d like to go, keep in mind that railroad and utility corridors are not public rights of way and still require landowner permission. Also, don’t be afraid to reach out to landowners who have posted their land. You may be pleasantly surprised at how many of them will allow access to someone who has the courtesy to ask first. Once a landowner has granted you permission, be sure to check in with them every year before the start of the season. Don’t assume permission is indefinite. Learn what matters most to the landowner and abide by all special requests they make, including where you can or cannot drive or park a vehicle, and which specific activities are allowed. Some landowners may require permits for certain activities. If so, respect that request. Look at any such requests from the landowner’s point of view, and act with their best interests in mind whenever you use the land. Some landowners dread various seasons

of the year, believing the associated activities limit their use of their own property. It’s your job to make sure whoever owns the land you’re using never feels that way. Provide detailed information. If requested, give the landowner your name, address, phone number and vehicle description. Good communication is a great way to build mutual respect. Know your boundaries. Learn the geographic property boundaries of the land you have permission to use and stay within them. There is no excuse for trespassing – it’s a crime enforceable by all state, county, and municipal law enforcement officers, and if convicted, you may lose any license issued by the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife. Keep it clean. Remember that you are a guest. Always leave the land as you found it, if not better. If you see trash that someone else left, pick it up. Keep it legal. Always obey the law, be safe and ethical, and report any land abuse that you witness. Land abuse is a very serious problem in Maine, and each year, access to private property is lost because of it. If you see a violation occurring, contact Operation Game Thief at 1-800- 253-7887.
