History and Traditions of the Season History of Christmas in America

History of Hanukkah in America

In the early 17th century, a wave of religious reform changed the way Christmas was celebrated in Europe. When Oliver Cromwell and his Puritan forces took over England in 1645, they vowed to rid England of decadence and, as part of their effort, cancelled Christmas. By popular demand, Charles II was restored to the throne and, with him, came the return of the popular holiday. The pilgrims, English separatists that came to America in 1620, were even more orthodox in their Puritan beliefs than Cromwell. As a result, Christmas was not a holiday in early America. From 1659 to 1681, the celebration of Christmas was actually outlawed in Boston. Anyone exhibiting the Christmas spirit was fined five shillings. By contrast, in the Jamestown settlement, Captain John Smith reported that Christmas was enjoyed by all and passed without incident. After the American Revolution, English customs fell out of favor, including Christmas. In fact, Congress was in session on December 25, 1789, the first Christmas under America’s new constitution. Christmas wasn’t declared a federal holiday until June 26, 1870. Washington Irving reinvents Christ-

First and foremost, Hanukkah is a historical, nationalist holiday. It commemorates the successful rebellion, in the second century B.C.E., of a clan of Jewish freedom fighters called the Maccabees. These warriors rose up against Antiochus, a Greco-Syrian monarch who ruled Israel with a hard hand, banning Jews from practicing their faith and pressuring them to convert to a Hellenic way of life. (It is told that his soldiers would even force-feed Jews pork, a kosher no-no.) Despite being greatly outnumbered, the Maccabees managed to recapture the Holy Temple, the premier site of ancient Judaism, from their oppressors. Hanukkah means dedication in Hebrew — the holiday pays tribute to the dedication of a group of Jews who believed fervently in their right to religious and nationalist freedom. Of course, there’s also a religious aspect to Hanukkah. Also known as the “Festival of Lights,� Hanukkah celebrates the miracle that occurred when the Maccabees reclaimed the Temple. The sanctuary was a shambles, torn apart by the Hellenic forces. The fighters found only enough oil to light a lantern — by which to read the Torah — for one day. But the lantern blazed for eight full days. When Jews

mas: It wasn’t until the 19th century that Americans began to embrace Christmas. Americans re-invented Christmas, and changed it from a raucous carnival holiday into a family-centered day of peace and nostalgia. The early 19th century was a period of class conflict and turmoil. During this time, unemployment was high and gang rioting by the disenchanted classes often occurred during the Christmas season. In 1828, the New York city council instiSee CHRISTMAS page 7...

‘Magical Realism’ is a Mantra for Wade Zahares By Carin Lee, Staff Reporter KENNEBUNK Wade Zahares made his first money as an artist on the streets of Boston. Having just graduated from Maryland Institute, College of Art in Baltimore, he staked his place on the sidewalk and started drawing things he saw, especially Boston's triple decker homes. His drawings sold and outdoor work became a staple in what has turned out to be a long career. He still likes to sketch in the open air, capturing scenes realistically, then often taking those images into his studio and drawing whimsical or fantastical pastel versions of what he has seen. It was this “magical realism,� as Zahares calls it, that made him a good candidate for illustrating children's books. He began illustrating in 1998 and

won The New York Times Best Illustrated Children's Book with his very first book 'Window Music'. “That gave me the energy to do more, it's validation. An artist works alone, and needs motivation,� Zahares said. From 1998 to 2013, Zahares illustrated 8 children's books, the most recent being “Frosty The Snowman,� which includes a CD by Kenny Loggins. His editor, Judy Sue Goodwin-Sturges of Rhode Island School of Design, has the job of making connections between him and publishers. He reads an author's text of a book and then draws what it makes him imagine. He is not allowed a direct connection with the writer or vice-versa, so each can work without influencing the other.

Celebrated on the 25th day of the Jewish month of Kislev, during the darkest days of the year, the candle-lighting holiday is a warm, cozy ritual to banish the winter blahs.

~ News ~ Bishop Deeley Explains Christmas Traditions to Sanford Students

SANFORD Bishop Robert P. Deeley smiled widely and even joined in at times as students at St. Thomas School in Sanford welcomed him with a special preview performance featuring songs of the season during his visit to the school on December 7. The school’s Christmas concert will focus on the true meaning of Christmas, one of the many themes covered as Bishop Deeley visited each classroom at St. Thomas to speak with stu-

dents after the performance in the cafeteria. The bishop fielded questions from students in each classroom, helping to explain the origins of many traditions to the curious children. “In the United States, as you look around your classroom and all around our country, we have lots of people from all kinds of different places. When they came here, they brought the customs of their own countries. When I was in Italy, for example, they

don’t have Santa Claus, they have Befana. She brings the presents on January 6, the Feast of the Epiphany. We got the Christmas tree from Germany. The candles in the window came from the Irish. They would put one candle in the window so that Jesus would know there was a place for him in that house. It’s a beautiful custom. Now, we put all kinds of lights up!� said the bishop to the laughing students. One fourth grader asked how Saint Nicholas “became Santa Claus.� The bishop explained why Saint Nicholas, a 4th-century bishop in what is now Turkey, is known as a gift bearer for the people. “Saint Nicholas was a very generous man who tried very hard to make sure that everybody was taken care of. The story that we hear is that he knew this family who had three daughters and they didn’t have any money and they wanted to have weddings for their daughters. So during the night, Saint Nicholas dropped money in the window. That’s how he became Saint Nicholas.� The bishop asked the students to try to always keep the true meaning of the season in mind when enjoying the traditions, including the giving and receiving of gifts. During the visit, the stu-

dents were excited to share updates on the many service projects and benevolent collections occurring at the school, initiatives that continue throughout the year at Catholic schools. One service project was particularly touching on Wednesday, the 75th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor. The second graders showed the bishop large boxes full of donated food and hygiene products that lined a wall of their classroom set to be sent to veterans overseas. “Today is a day to be very mindful of the gift that these

people gave,� the bishop told the second graders, who also held a donation drive for residents at the Maine Veterans’ Home in Scarborough earlier this year. “They sacrificed their lives for us. That’s one of the reasons we always need to be attentive to the needs of our veterans. They have cared for us and served their country and put themselves in danger so that we can come together and have the freedoms that we have here.� The school also presented the bishop with a large Christmas card signed by every student in the school.

Marshwood Student Heading to Dominican Republic SOUTH BERWICK/ELIOT The South Berwick/Eliot Rotary based Interact Club made up of Marshwood students is planning a service trip to the Dominican Republic. As they work together with locals on a series of small community-based service projects, the students will be immersed in the culture, expanding

their Spanish fluency, and experiencing life as the Dominicans do. They'll return home with a better understanding of what meaningful service means in an interconnected world ready to make a difference here at home too. Those who wish to help out: www.gofundme.com/mhsinteractservicedr.

recognized by Stanford University for her exceptional teaching. The recognition, which is given each year to educators across the country, is a result of a written nomination from Berwick alum and Onken’s former student Claire Breger-Belsky of West Newbury, MA. Inspired by the enthusiasm, energy and excellence that incoming students bring to Stanford University, the university sponsors the Teacher Tribute Initiative. This past summer, all members of Stanford’s incoming class were given the opportunity to acknowledge one former teacher or mentor who played a significant role in their intellectual, academic, social and personal development. Breger-Belsky, who is a first year student at Stanford wrote, “Mrs. Onken continually inspires critical thinking in her students. Her commentary enables us to fashion ourselves into better writers, to achieve the high reaches of insight that she knows lie hidden in our work. Through conversations transcending the limits of literature, her students become self-aware, acquiring a sense of the way readings can echo in the world. She is not afraid to share her own writing, gifting us with the example we so often need to begin the flow of our own written truths.�

Head of School Greg Schneider commented, “Jen Onken has been inspiring our finest writers at Berwick for quite some time. Her commitment to opening young minds to the broad diversity of world literature has been inspiring to all of us. I could imagine no finer teacher for Stanford to honor.� Jen Onken has been a Berwick faculty member for over eleven years, arriving on the Hilltop in 2005. She teaches juniors and seniors in the English department; her courses focus on the United States, Colonial Africa and the Middle East, as well as Film Studies and Creative Non-Fiction writing. In addition to teaching, she has served as a dean of students and currently runs the Outreach community service program and coaches JV girls lacrosse. Onken lives in Berwick, ME with her family. Her husband, Chris, also teaches on the Hilltop. Together they've come to Maine by way of teaching overseas in international schools in Alexandria, Egypt and Beirut, Lebanon, as well as serving as teacher trainers in Southern Africa in the Peace Corps. Their three young children proudly attend BA's Lower and Middle Schools. Onken commented, “Berwick students inspire us every day. Claire's courageous work as

Year-End Holidays bring All-Time Record for New England Travelers NEW ENGLAND More than 4.47 million New Englanders will travel this holiday season This year-end holiday travel season will set a new alltime record for the number of travelers in New England, and the U.S., according to projections from AAA. Nearly 4.47 million New England residents are expected to travel at least 50 miles away from home during the holiday period between Dec. 23 and Jan. 2 – a 2.5 percent increase compared to 2015. Eighty-eight percent of travelers, or 3.96 million New Englanders, will travel by car to their destinations – a 2.6 percent increase from last year when 3.86 million residents took cars to holiday getaways. More than 384,000 are expected to fly, which is a 3.1 percent increase

over 2015’s 373,000 air travelers. Nationally, AAA projects 103 million travelers over the Christmas/New Year holiday, topping last year’s 101.5 million end-of-year travelers by 1.5 percent. This marks the eighth consecutive year of growth for end-of-year holiday travel. “This holiday period is the longest one of the year and the most popular one for travelers because so many make it a priority to reunite with family and friends,� said Pat Moody manager of public affairs for AAA Northern New England. The increase in holiday travel this year is being driven by additional consumer spending, a result of improvements in the labor market and rising wages.

~ News ~ ...CHRISTMAS from page 1 tuted the city’s first police force in response to a Christmas riot. This catalyzed certain members of the upper classes to begin to change the way Christmas was celebrated in America. In 1819, best-selling author Washington Irving wrote “The Sketchbook of Geoffrey Crayon,� a series of stories about the celebration of Christmas in an English manor house. The sketches feature a squire who invited the peasants into his home for the holiday. In contrast to the problems faced in American society, the two groups mingled effortlessly. In Irving’s mind, Christmas should be a peaceful, warm-hearted holiday bringing groups together across lines of wealth or social status. Irving’s fictitious celebrants enjoyed “ancient customs,� including the crowning of a Lord of Misrule. Irving’s book, however, was not based on any holiday celebration he had attended—in fact, many historians say that Irving’s account actually “invented� tradition by implying that it described the true customs of the season. In the years after the Civil War, Christmas traditions spread across the country. Children's books played an important role in spreading the

customs of celebrating Christmas, especially the tradition of trimmed trees and gifts delivered by Santa Claus. Sunday school classes encouraged the celebration of Christmas and the birth of Jesus Christ. Women's magazines were also very

important in suggesting ways to decorate for the holidays, as well as how to make these decorations. By the last quarter of the nineteenth century, America eagerly decorated trees, caroled, baked, and shopped for the

...TRAVEL from page 6 increased consumer optimism will prompt more Americans than ever to set out on road trips, take to the skies, or board trains, buses and cruise ships to celebrate the holidays. Gas prices will be very similar to last year’s holiday travel period, with averages in the $2.20-$2.30 range throughout most of New England.

Christmas season. Since that time, materialism, media, advertising, and mass marketing has made Christmas what it is today. The traditions that we enjoy at Christmas today were invented by blending together customs from many different countries into what is considered by many

to be our national holiday. Many in America celebrate Christmas with the exchange of gifts and greetings and with family visits, with the day beginning on Christmas Eve with Midnight Mass or Christmas Day. Content extracted from www.the historyofchristmas.com.

sent their classmates at monthly meetings scheduled through May. The current group of 18 students will meet with their seven staff advisors to address school spirit and ways to “pay it forward� in the community. “Teachers were asked to nominate students who could represent the interests/needs of all classmates and would be committed to serve on the team for the entire school year,� stated a letter from school to parents and guardians explaining the Student Leadership Team, one of the initiatives administrators hope to focus on for the 20162017 school year. Pam Lear and Mirna Davila are advisors to the team. However, they believe that they are more facilitator than advisor since all students in the group have demonstrated leadership skills. According to the two educators, these students will likely grow as leaders as they pass through the higher grades. “They are an impressive group of students,� said Lear, a fourth grade teacher. “They are a really strong group working well together,� “Leadership is a skill that should be taught at an early age,� commented Davila, an ed tech. “Not only is the Student Leader-

ship Team learning to work as a team but also (discovering) the importance of focus, compassion, planning, execution and being a positive impact in their school.� In recent meetings the Student Leadership Team has been listing ideas on how to increase “school spirit� and how to “pay it forward� to the community. For school spirit a Flashlight Friday is planned in January. One of the ideas to “pay it forward� includes a bake sale with bake goods to be sold to staff members. Proceeds from this sale will go to the Barbara Bush Children’s Hospital at Mane Medical Center. Other ideas that the student team is planning on implementing include an animal shelter drive and a card sale.

~ News ~ ...HANUKKAH from page 1 staying at home with friends and family, eating, playing, and just spending time together. In the U.S., where Santa Claus rules the month of December, some Jews have incorporated a little bit of Christmas into their Hanukkah spirit. Some families opt to give gifts each night of Hanukkah; others may decorate their house with a “Hanukkah bush.� Even though the two holidays have vastly different religious and historical origins and focus, both Christmas and Hanukkah are a beautiful opportunity to open up one’s house and heart and spread some joy. Included in traditional Hanukkah celebrations is the Lighting of the Menorah. This is the centerpiece of the Hanukkah celebration, a candelabra that holds nine candles. Eight candles symbolize the number of days that the Temple lantern blazed; the ninth, the shamash, is a helper candle used to light the others. Families light one candle on the first day, two on the second (and so on) after sundown during the eight days of Hanukkah, while reciting prayers and singing songs. The menorah — either store-bought or homemade and crafted of metal, wood, papier mache, or clay — is filled from right to left, but lit left to right so each new

candle is lit first. Another tradition of Hanukkah is to play with dreidels (spinning tops) during the holiday, even wage gambling games in which players guess which side of the top will fall face up. Legend has it that during the GreekSyrian dictatorship in Israel of yore, Jews got around the ban on reading the Torah by bringing spinning tops to study sessions so their oppressors would think they were just playing around. The Hebrew characters carved into the four sides of today’s dreidels are the first letters of “Ness Gadol Haya Po/Sham,� which roughly translates to “Great Miracle Happened Here/There� (depending on whether you’re in Israel or not). The tradition of handing out gelt (the Yiddish word for “money�) during Hanukkah probably dates back to 17thcentury Poland. The practice is most likely a nod to the fact that the only time Jews were historically free to mint their own coins, in their own state, was after the Maccabean revolt, when the land around Jerusalem was governed by Jewish kings for over a century. The coins distributed during Hanukkah — either real currency or chocolate-covered coins — are thus a symbol of Jewish independence. They’re also just a way to spread good cheer.

$126 Million Contract Modification for Bath Iron Works STATEWIDE The U.S. Navy has awarded Bath Iron Works a $125,950,046 contract modification. The funding will be used to continue Integrated Planning Yard services for Arleigh Burke-class and Oliver Hazard Perry-class ships. “This funding is critical to ensure that the highly-skilled women of Bath Iron Works have the necessary resources to continue manufacturing the best, most-advanced destroyers in our Navy,� U.S. Senators SusanCollins and Angus King said in a joint statement. “We applaud the Navy for this contract modification, which will support our country’s national

security and the Maine economy.� This funding is a costplus-award-fee modification to a previously awarded contract for the continuation of Integrated Planning Yard services. The modification covers integrated planning and support for the Arleigh Burke-class destroyers and Oliver Hazard Perry-class of frigates built at

Bath, and tasks include design, planning, and modernization efforts. Funding was allocated through the Navy’s Naval Sea Systems Command.

People and Business Profiles

Riverbend Party Goers Provide for Others WELLS Nine years ago, Chuck and Diane Stewart of Riverbend Woods development thought it would be a nice idea to arrange a Christmas party for their neighborhood. They got in touch with a local restaurant and reserved an evening to host 36 friends and neighbors to enjoy dinner, share stories, and get to know each other. Over the years Riverbend Woods has grown with many more units being built. The party group has now grown to well over one hundred. This year, a group gathered at the Nonamtum Resort in Kennebunkport for the 9th annual Riverbend Woods Christmas Party to celebrate the season with a wonderful dinner and a delightful evening of socializing. About four years ago, when the party invitations were sent out, a notice was added that said, "As we gather to enjoy good food and cheer, there are others that may be in need, let us not forget them". They asked neighbors and party goers to bring

canned goods and other nonperishables to support the food pantry at St. Mary's Church in Wells. During the party they conducted a raffle to raise funds for local assistance groups. The party goers were very generous with their gifts of food and money say the Stewarts. At of the most recent party on December 1, more than 1,155 pounds of food was donated. They are proud to say that over the past five years, The Riverbend Woods group has contributed thousands of pounds of food, as well as thousands of dollars to local charities. This could not be done without the

help of friends, neighbors, and those who do business within the neighborhood: the real estate brokers, property managers and local restaurants who contribute restaurant gift certificates and other items for the raffle. Over the years the group has contributed to The Barbara Bush Children's Hospital, The Outreach Program in Wells, Caring Unlimited in Sanford, and The Wells Food Pantry. The friends and neighbors share in an evening of fun and good food and at the same time remember those in need. Sharing and caring is a great way to celebrate Christmas.

Director Paul Dest Receives National Conservation Award WELLS Paul Dest, for 16 years the director of the Wells National Estuarine Research Reserve, was honored on December 12 with the 2016 Dr. Nancy Foster Habitat Conservation Award from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Dest was presented with his award at the National Summit on Coastal and Estuarine Restoration and 25th meeting of The Coastal Society in New Orleans. Maine Senators Susan Collins and Angus King praised Dest for his dedication and leadership. “He and the entire team at the Wells Reserve are doing fantastic work to help study and conserve coastal ecosystems across Maine,” they said in a joint statement. Nik Charov, chairman of the Wells Reserve Management Authority and president of Laudholm Trust, said “When it comes to habitat conservation in Northern New England, especially the great State of Maine, Paul is a trusted local partner working tirelessly behind the scenes.” Dest has been involved in conservation for 30 years, both as a volunteer and profes-

dent of Hospice of York.

Paul Vachon Makes Use of YCCC’s College Transition Program Offers

YORK COUNTY Paul Vachon of Sanford, began his college studies at York County Community College at the age of 46. Now, almost 48, Paul is halfway towards receiving his Associate's Degree in Culinary Arts. He attributes much of his success to the Maine College Transitions Program (CT) where he honed his writing and math skills and learned how to navigate the logistics of becoming a college student. Having graduated from Sanford High School in 1988, Paul subsequently worked at J.J. Nissen as a baker, then in shipping and receiving and then as a custodian at Noble High School. In order to return to the culinary field for a full-time career, Paul realized he needed a degree in cooking from a reputable program. Upon learning that York County Community College has a strong Culinary Arts program, he was ready to take the first step toward making his

dream a reality. Paul enrolled in the College Transitions Program at Noble Adult Education in the fall of 2013. In addition to attending YCCC part-time, Paul works full-time as a custodian in Berwick and works weekends doing prep work at Federal Jack's Restaurant and Brew Pub in Kennebunk. Paul is determined and eager to eventually have a full-time career in the culinary field. One aspect of the Maine College Transitions Program curriculum is a college search in addition to financial aid applications. Students are also encouraged to pursue various scholarship opportunities. Not only did Paul earn a $250 scholarship from Noble Adult Education and $500 from the American Culinary Federation Piscataqua Chapter, he was also awarded $3,000 from the James and Marilyn Rockefeller Foundation, renewable three subsequent times. Paul is one of many stu-

dents who have benefitted from the Maine College Transitions Program. Noble is one of over 75 sites in the state where the College Transitions Program is offered to adults who wish to consider their education beyond the high school level, whether they want to attend a certification program, technical or community college or four-year university. Adults enrolled in a CT program receive free career and college advising, pre-college academic preparatory classes, academic testing, college visits, help with college applications and the FAFSA – all for no charge. In addition, a coalition of College Transition programs in Southern Maine allow students flexibility in scheduling and the opportunity to take additional classes ranging from CNA certification to machining or welding. Any person interested in learning more about the College Transition program should contact their local Adult Education office.

How Safe are our Crumbling Bridges and Vulnerable Buildings? America’s bridges need work. So do some of the nation’s buildings – both old and new – that were designed to avoid collapsing during an earthquake or other major catastrophe, but aren’t quite up to the task of remaining inhabitable after disaster strikes. “Earthquakes are possible just about any place, not just in California,” says Douglas P. Taylor, president of Taylor Devices, that manufactures seismic dampers that protect structures during such events as earthquakes and high winds. “New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and many other places that you don’t usually think about can have seismic activity as Oklahoma recently did. If buildings, bridges and other structures aren’t designed to withstand the shock, they can endanger the lives of drivers and the building’s occupants.” Taylor says these structural problems are more widespread than most people realize. Some of the issues include:

• Bridge aging and deterioration. Across the United States, 58,500 bridges are structurally deficient, according to a report by the American Road & Transportation Builders Association. That represents about 9.5 percent of the nation’s bridges. “That’s definitely a concern for the people who use those bridges every day,” Taylor says. From a technological standpoint they can be fixed, but Taylor says he worries the money to do so isn’t coming any time soon, at least in part because the nation’s debt makes it difficult for the government to make the appropriate investment in the nation’s infrastructure. • Older buildings without proper earthquake-resistant engineering. Some older buildings aren’t designed to withstand a seismic event. For example, many of the old brownstone apartment buildings in New York have “virtually nothing holding them together if the See CRUMBLE page 31...

~ Ask The Computer Lady ~ Dear Computer Lady, We have received a renewal request from Microsoft Office 365. We can't find a simple explanation anywhere as to what this program is and or why I might need it. It must have come on my newest computer and I have no idea what it is or how it differs from my normal Microsoft Office 10. Thank you in advance. You are the only media person we trust these days! Howard & Lynda Dear Howard & Linda, Microsoft is now selling its office suite of programs (Word, Excel, Power Point, OneNote, etc) in two different ways. You can buy it the oldfashioned way where you purchase a product key that allows you to install Office on your computer and use it as long as you want. Microsoft now has a newer, subscription based Office, called Office 365. The yearly cost is about half the cost of the one-time office purchase,

but has to be renewed each year. The obvious advantage to the old one-time purchase is that you can use it for as long as you want on your computer without a yearly fee. The advantage for Office 365 is that you automatically get the newest version of Office, and it comes with 1TB of OneDrive cloud storage for your documents. Office 365 also includes additional programs like Outlook, Publisher and Access, which would cost more in the stand-alone version. Hopefully this helps you understand the difference, and helps you decide if you want to continue on with Office 365, or switch to a one-time purchase. Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, Last night about 8:30 I started charging my computer, it was at about 17%. When I went to bed about 9:30 it was only about 50%. When I got up at 4 it was about 95%.

computer? Thanks and have a good day. Carolyn Dear Carolyn, It is probably the battery in the computer. If you use your laptop on battery power most of the time, you will find that you need to replace the battery every 2 to 3 years. This is just due to the nature of batteries. If, like most people, you use your laptop plugged into the wall, you will not notice the loss of battery life and will not need to replace it. Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, First, like most people that write to you, I'd like to thank you for so much useful information that you have shared through the years. My question is... I have always printed address labels for various mailings. The way I did that, was by using Microsoft Works... but that software wasn't included in my newest laptop, and I hate to spend the money to buy a program like Works, only to print labels. So... do you know of any FREE software that will print the normal (Avery) address labels? Thanks, Kenny Dear Kenny, Actually, Avery has free software available on their website. They used to have a program called, Avery Label Pro, which i have used and talked about before. Now they have a different program called, Avery Design & Print. You can find the software at www.avery. com under the "Templates" tab.

They have an online version that you can use, or you can download the software and use it on your computer even if you are not connected to the Internet. I tried out the online version. It created a PDF file that I could then save to my computer and print as often as I want. I printed the page and it lined up with my labels perfectly. Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, I have been a long time reader of your newsletter and have learned any number of useful things about computers. I consider myself to be an "experienced newbie" but still have questions in many areas. I get a little bent out shape when the advice is always given: back up all your files before reinstalling Windows or doing a new install or similar. What does that actually mean ? I know I can go to MY DOCUMENTS where most people likely keep all their personal files and save that. However if you are the techie that I bring my computer to in order to do some major overhaul, what SPECIFICALLY do you do in your backup of MY computer to avoid losing MY data? There must be more than just copying MY DOCUMENTS folder. Where and what else do you search for drivers, settings, etc.? I am still on Win XP. I know the dangers. Thanks in advance, Arthur Dear Arthur, Only the owner of a com-

puter can tell me exactly what needs to be backed up on their computer. Backing up all your data might mean a lot of music and videos to one person, while it could be thousands of photos to someone else, or letters and spreadsheets to another. My secret to a good backup is communicating with you. The first and most important thing that I do to backup your computer is ask you some questions. I want to know things like what you use your computer for, if you keep any files in unusual places, what type of email program you use, etc. Your answers to these questions tell me what I am looking for when I go to backup your data. After our interview, I find that I can usually back up most computers by simply backing up the "Users" folder. (In Windows XP it is the "Documents & Settings" folder.) This saves your documents, pictures, videos, music, favorites, Windows contacts, and most other types of user data. If there is anything out of the ordinary that you are concerned about, I will do a full image of the hard drive so that all the files on the computer are saved. Elizabeth Interested in learning more?

Festival of Lights Acknowledgments YORK The York Parks and Recreation Department has submitted the following article that extends their gratitude for those involved in making this year's The Festival of Lights a success: The Festival of Lights is held annually on the first Saturday of December to give thanks to our community for making York the wonderful place it is and to celebrate the warmth and tradition of the season. We would like to thank the local establishments in York Village and to the Town Hall Employees for opening their doors for this celebration, and to the many local businesses that donated services or items for the various events that were held throughout the weekend. Special thanks from the department are also extended to the Daily Grind CafĂŠ for hosting the Polar Express, Lobster Cove Restaurant for hosting Breakfast with Santa, the York Art Association for hosting the Student Art Exhibit and for the addition of the luminaries, and Foster’s Clambake for hosting “A Christmas Carol.â€? Thanks to all of Santa’s Helpers for handing out the goodies and keeping our kids safe. Santa’s Helpers were a combination of the York High School Interact Club and the York Youth Lighthouse Preservation Association. Thanks to Wendell Purington and the First Parish Church for opening their doors for the York School Choirs to provide musical entertainment. Thanks to Stephen Carr, parade judge and emcee. Thanks also to Tom Fox, Nikolaos Piskopanis and Bill Yorston for their appearances as a very special guest throughout the weekend. We were fortunate to be gifted a beautiful sleigh by The

Toys for Tots Receives Donation from York Elks YORK York Elks recently presented a check in the amount of $682 to the Marines' Toys for Tots Program, in addition to many toys collected by members. Cash donations are used to buy gifts and gift cards for the older children as many of the toy donations are for younger children. Pictured left to right: Joseph Veno, Toys for Tots Co-Coordinator and his wife Shirley, Mel Bates, District Coordinator and his wife Lil-

lian. Presenting the check from the Elks was member Don St. Pierre who took the photo.

Desoto Family this year, thank you. A very, very special thank you goes to Mike Lee, his family and the Lee Tree crew for lighting up the Village Square every year, for the enjoyment of all. We would also like to thank Perham Brothers Production for volunteering their sound equipment and expertise and bringing music to the village square. Without the help of the Festival of Lights Committee, the special events that take place all over town throughout the weekend could not happen: Eileen Sewall and The Museums of Old York, for the Christmas tea, Jim Hager, parade judge and emcee, Bonnie Hennessy and Kevin Beattie, for the coordination and outfitting of all of the elves, Amber Harrison, judge and community involvement, Michelle Sampson and The York Public Library for coordinating and hosting the gingerbread house contest, Cheryl Farley, parade volunteer, Jean Kolak and Jody Merrill with York Hospital, Charlie Szeniawski, Owen Davis and the entire York Police Department for their continued support of this event and ensuring public safety, and our tireless Parks and Recreation Department staff. This is truly a community event, where schools, businesses, organizations, clubs and individuals bring something special to the weekend as parade participants, musical entertainment, elves, craft vendors and much more. Therefore it is impossible to list all the people involved‌ so just know that we know who you are and we thank you all! On behalf of the Parks and Recreation Department and the Festival of Lights Committee we would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the community of York for making this a very special place to live. Wishing you all a Happy New Year! Robin Cogger, Ryan Avery and Lynzi Pacitti – York Parks and Recreation Department.

~ Arts & Entertainment ~ Threshold Stage Company holds Auditions For “Clybourne Park” KITTERY Kittery’s Threshold Stage Company seeks actors for its upcoming production of “Clybourne Park” by Bruce Norris, directed by Jim Murphy. Auditions will be held Sunday January 8, from 11 a.m.–5 p.m. at the Kittery Community Center, 120 Rogers Rd, Kittery. Interested actors should prepare two brief contrasting monologues. Rehearsals will begin in early March. The show runs from

April 14-23 at The Star Theatre in Kittery. To schedule an audition, send an email to: ThresholdStageCo@gmail.com. Bring your headshot and resume to the audition. Callbacks will be held on January 9 from 6-9 p.m. Casting will be for the following roles: Francine/Lena (black, 30s), Jim/Tom (white, 20s), Albert/Kevin (black, 30s), Karl/Steve (white, 30s), Betsy/ Lindsey (white, late 20s).

...ZAHARES from page 1 book page daily. “I love the instant feedback from Facebook, the critiques people give me...I know quickly what people like.” In January Zahares will be going to Provincetown to do some outdoor painting, and then travel to Palm Springs in February to do the same. With local designer AJ Mastrangelo, he is creating a new website (Zahares. com) and, among other things, making a Brunswick downtown city map -“one that would make people want to go there.” He is also illustrating a series of notecards that will reflect the views of his farm throughout the 4 seasons. Future plans for Zahares include teaching an Adult Education course in pastels in Saco/ Old Orchard Beach this spring. He is also creating a series of works: “Looking out from interiors into urban spaces.” He has 6 commissions for house portraits

and most importantly, is having “conversations with himself” about what to do next. He'd like to make a children's book of his own, perhaps about his dog Daisy, or maybe “color and energy, something more abstract. I want to have fun with it again.” Looking at Zahares's work, with its strong lines and bold colors, one knows to expect more excellent work from this talented illustrator and fine artist.

Maine Department of Economic and Community Development to Boost Workforce Attraction Efforts STATEWIDE The Maine Department of Economic and Community Development (DECD) is pleased to announce a new public-private partnership with Live and Work in Maine to help identify and deliver a larger and more skilled workforce to Maine. "One of our greatest assets

is our tourism industry, with tens of millions of people from all over the world visiting Maine each year," said DECD Commissioner George Gervais. "It makes perfect sense that any strategy to grow our workforce includes harnessing the power of our tourism industry to try and turn these visitors and even others

within Maine's visitor target markets into permanent residents of Maine." The Maine Office of Tourism's visitor research profile shows many visitors have an interest in moving to Maine. Data shows 36% of business owners / CEOs visiting Maine overnight in 2015 indicated they would be very likely to relocate, expand, or start a business in Maine at some point in the future. Over the next few months DECD will enlist the help of its tourism research partner, Digital Research Group of Kennebunk, to dig even deeper and gather additional workforce attractionrelated data. This additional research will help identify current staffing needs and challenges of Maine businesses as well as demographic trends. The research will also identify target markets where people are most likely to consider relocating to Maine. Marketing efforts based on the additional research will

be conducted by Live and Work in Maine, which as a result of a competitive RFP process, has just been awarded $100,000 in FY17 by DECD. "Maine's labor market will continue to tighten as baby boomers retire," said Maine Department of Labor Commissioner Jeanne Paquette. "Recruiting new workers to move to our state, and bring their families, is a critical element of our long-term workforce development strategy. We will need workers now and in the future to sustain economic growth. This is a high priority for both DECD and the Department of Labor as we work together to build a brighter future for Mainers." Live and Work in Maine's mission is to show the world that when it comes to quality of life and career opportunities, you can have the best of both worlds by choosing to live and work in Maine. With the launch of a new

job board in the New Year, job seekers can learn more about specific employment opportunities, send resumes directly to employers, and find more information about the culture and mission of Maine businesses. The site also includes testimonials from professionals who have relocated to Maine, details on internships and first career options for college students and new graduates, and information on the lifestyle offered by each of Maine's eight geographic regions. "We know how critical lower taxes, affordable energy and streamlined regulations are to business attraction," added Commissioner Gervais. "Workforce attraction is just as important a focus making Maine more competitive and prosperous."

How the Scam Works: You search in your smartphone’s app store for a favorite retailer. Many brands provide apps to make shopping at that store easy and more convenient. Several apps appear, and they all have similar names and brand logo. Be careful when downloading the new app. Most fake apps are fairly harmless, a way to deliver spammy advertising. But some apps require shoppers to enter credit card information or provide their Facebook password. Sharing this information can open users up to fraud. This con is notable because it affects so many brands, in both the Apple and Android app stores. Look out for fake apps posing as mall staples, such as Dillard’s and Footlocker, online retailers such as Zappos and Overstock, and luxury sellers such as Jimmy Choo. Scammers have snuck these counterfeit apps past Apple’s App Store review process, so be careful no matter what See APPS page 19...

Nail Your 2017 Financial New Year’s Resolutions The New Year has become an opportunity to commit to new goals and rekindle hope. In fact, 40 to 50 percent of New Year’s revelers raise a toast to living better, healthier lives. Yet despite their optimism on January 1, the majority end up missing their marks. “Many of us come out of the gate raring to go, but our enthusiasm quickly dies because our goals are too lofty or because we haven'’t established any sort of plan,� said Mike Sullivan, a personal finance consultant for Take Charge America, national nonprofit credit counseling and debt management agency. “You’re more likely to stick with your resolutions if you focus on bite-sized goals, build a solid plan to achieve them, and celebrate each milestone.� Sullivan offers eight tips on making and keeping financial New Year’s resolutions: Review the past year: Start with a review of your current financial state. Did you earn more? Did you save more? Do you owe less? If so, take some time to celebrate. If you didn’t, ask for help. Talk with a financial advisor or credit counselor and explain your goals. Make a budget: It’s an oldie but a goodie – and it’s at the top of every financial to-do list because it works. Take inventory of your income and spending to get a sense of necessary expenses, discretionary funds and potential savings. Putting pen to paper also will open your eyes to any worrisome spending habits and help you make smarter decisions in the future. Automate and simplify:

Tips for submitting articles to The Sentinel... • Email to the editorial email: editor@theweeklysentinel.com • Avoid writing in 1st Person (I, We). Use 3rd Person (They, He, She). • Avoid any formatting such as tabs, bullets, special spacing, etc. • When sending a photo include a caption which describes who/what is shown, and photographer credit. • For calendar of events, view the calendar for proper formatting. Be sure to include all basic event details (time, place, contact info). • Avoid using ALL CAPS and extensive punctuations. • Remember that not all submissions are guaranteed to be printed. To guarantee publication of your event, please place an ad.

Take advantage of your bank’s bill pay feature to automate recurring payments like your mortgage, insurance, cable, utilities and even savings. In addition to saving you time each month, setting up auto payments helps you avoid late fees. Organize your finances: The New Year is a perfect time to get your financial life in order. Establish a process and system for paying bills, review your credit report for accuracy, research financial software, set up auto deposits and shred old documents and receipts. This is also an ideal time to gather and organize your tax information for 2016. Save for emergencies: If you don’t yet have an emergency fund, now is the time to build one. Aim to save enough money to cover three to six month’s expenses, but break this big goal down into smaller milestones – and celebrate each time you reach one. Pay down debt: This may

seem overwhelming, especially if you have multiple credit cards, student loans, car loans, etc. Start by tackling the debt with the biggest interest rate, and move down the list from there. If needed, enlist the help of a nonprofit credit counseling or student loan counseling agency for one-on-one guidance, an action plan and assistance negotiating with creditors. Save for retirement: This is critically important to your financial health, but far too few people are focused on saving for their golden years. If you

haven’t already done so, evaluate employer-sponsored retirement savings plans, or talk to a financial advisor about individual retirement accounts (IRAs). Commit to saving every month – even if it’s a small amount – and work to increase your contribution over time. Make it a family affair: Don’t go it alone! Enlist the help of family and friends to

help you stay focused on your financial goals and priorities. You can also aim to teach your kids a new financial lesson each month, or create savings goals as family. For more tips on financial resources, credit and loan repayment, visit www. takechargeamerica.org or call 888-822-9193.

nel Harland Sanders was in his 60s when he launched Kentucky Fried Chicken. Arnold Schwarzenegger reinvented himself a couple of times, going from professional body builder to actor to governor of California. Sometimes referred to as “encore careers,” these second acts can reinvigorate you and give you a reason to greet each day with anticipation, says Oliver Harris, who wrote his first novel after working for more than four decades as an attorney, including as a criminal-defense lawyer in Chicago. “In my case, I was able to incorporate elements from my original career in law into my encore career as a writer,” says Harris, who put his knowledge of Chicago’s crime and corrup-

tion to use in his novel “JoJo.” But he didn’t completely shed his past self to take on this new identity. “I’m still working as a lawyer, and I work nights on my writing,” Harris says. “So, I’ve pretty much added a second career into my life.” He has tips for others who also feel the urge to reinvent themselves late in life: • Realize that purpose is important. After years in the same profession, it’s easy to become burned out and to operate on auto pilot as you perform the tasks of your job. Essentially, people can lose their sense of purpose. When they reinvent themselves, that purpose can be reignited. “You’re much more likely to be successful when

you’re driven by a sense of purpose,” Harris says. • Find what excites you. Harris says he always wanted to write, so it was not surprising that pounding out a novel could become a passion for him. If you’re reinventing yourself, the reinvention might as well center on something you’re passionate about. That could mean returning to college to earn a degree, learning a musical instrument, or embarking on the career you dreamed of as a child but put aside for more practical pursuits. • Don’t convince yourself that it’s too late. It’s not, Harris says. Many years ago, the newspaper advice columnist Dear Abby received a letter from a 36-year-old college dropout who wanted to return to school to become a doctor. But this would-be physician worried that it would take at least seven years to finish all the schooling. “In seven years I’ll be 43,” the letter writer lamented. Abby responded with a question. “How old will you be in seven years if you don’t go back to college?” As it happens, Harris spent seven years working on “JoJo,” setting aside writing time between 11 p.m. and 1:30 a.m. Burning the midnight oil paid off, so it definitely wasn’t too late to get started, he says. Harris believes it’s important to put your mind to its full use. “With law I was only using part of my brain,” he says. “I wanted to use all of my brain and what I am capable of, which is why I began writing my novel.” Oliver Harris, author of the legal thriller “JoJo” (www. readjojo.com), has spent 45 years as a trial lawyer, prosecutor and criminal defense attorney. He has worked in both Chicago and in Palm Beach County, Florida. His undergraduate degree is from the University of Chicago and his law degree is from the Indiana University School of Law.

BUSINESS & FINANCE

3 Ways to Talk with Aging Parents about Finances One benefit of the increasing life expectancies for Americans is that more people have bonus years for enjoying the company of their aging parents. But all is not rosy. Those extended years also boost the odds that parents could go broke or suffer from dementia and be unable to make financial decisions for themselves. That can leave adult children perplexed about when and whether they should step in and find out what’s happening with their parents’ money, says Carolyn Rosenblatt, a registered nurse and elder law attorney. “Unfortunately, it’s not always easy to have those conversations,� says Rosenblatt, coauthor with her husband, Dr. Mikol Davis, of “The Family Guide to Aging Parents� and “Succeed With Senior Clients: A Financial Advisors Guide To Best Practices.� “Some stubborn parents just refuse to talk about their money. No matter what their adult children say to them, they put it off, change the subject or tell their children it’s none of their business.� Of course, many adult children aren’t in any particular hurry to broach the subject either, says Davis, a clinical psychologist and gerontologist. “They have their own discomfort about it and procrastinate,� he says. “Then a crisis comes up and no one has any idea what the parents have or where to find important documents.� But Rosenblatt and Davis say it’s critical that these con-

versations take place so that the offspring can gather information about such subjects as the parent’s income and expenses, where legal documents are kept, and what kind of medical or longterm-care insurance the parent might have. The success of these conversations often comes down to how you approach the subject, Rosenblatt and Davis say. They offer a few tips: • End the procrastination by picking a date for the talk. Make an appointment with yourself to bring up the subject at a specific time. An opportune time to schedule this is after a birthday, a family event or a holiday where other family members are togeth...APPS from page 16 type of device you use. Tips to Protect Yourself From an App Scam Scammers love to impersonate popular apps. Here's how to spot a con: Evaluate before downloading. In the app store, look for warning signs such as apps with no reviews and no history of previous versions. Look out for poor grammar. Most fake apps are developed with little or no quality control. Look for poor grammar, typos, and strange sentences or phrases within the app title, description, or instructions. Make sure the retailor has an app. Not all retailors have apps, which makes it easier for scammers to pass off fake ones. When in doubt, do a quick search online before downloading. To report a scam, go to BBB Scam Tracker (bbb.org/scamtracker).

er who may share in the responsibility for the aging parents in the future. • Show respect. Tell your parents you understand and respect their reluctance to discuss their finances. You can even make the conversation about yourself rather than about them. Say that you’re concerned that if something went wrong, you would be completely lost as to how to help them. • Address their fears headon. Let them know you understand they are worried that if they talk about their finances their independence might be taken away. You might add that you

want them to maintain their independence as long as possible and you’re willing to help accomplish that, but you can’t do it without the correct information. “Getting past an aging parent’s fear about talking about finances can be daunting,� Rosenblatt says. “But a well-planned strategy for approaching the subject will give you your best chance.� Carolyn Rosenblatt and Dr. Mikol Davis are co-authors of “The Family Guide to Aging Parents� (www.agingparents. com) and “Succeed With Senior Clients: A Financial Advisors Guide To Best Practices.� Rosen-

blatt, a registered nurse and elder law attorney, has more than 45 years combined experience in her professions. She has been quoted in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Money magazine and many other publications. Davis, a clinical psychologist and gerontologist, has more than 44 years experience as a mental health provider. In addition to serving his patients, Davis creates online courses and products to assist professionals and the public with understanding aging issues. Rosenblatt and Davis have been married for 34 years.

Hosting a holiday meal for loved ones provides an exciting opportunity to bring family and friends together during a special time of year. First-time hosts may be a little nervous and put pressure on themselves to make the meal just right. But there are a few tricks of the trade novices can employ to calm their nerves and enjoy their first foray into holiday hosting. • Go with what you know. Experimenting in the kitchen can be fun, but such experimentation should be avoided when hosting for the holidays. When planning the menu for your holiday dinner, choose a main course that you have prepared in the past. Familiarity can calm your nerves, and you’re less likely to forget key ingredients when preparing a meal you have made several times in the past. If you want to experiment a little, do so with desserts that you can prepare and test for taste several days in advance. If the desserts don’t pan out, you will still have a few days to find an alternative. • Get a head start wherever possible. The day friends and family are coming to visit figures to be hectic. In addition to preparing the meal, hosts must also ready their homes so they can create a welcoming environment for their guests. Once you have chosen the menu, look for items that can be prepared in advance of the big day. Desserts can often be made several days in advance, as can certain side dishes. Do as much prep work for the main course the night before the meal as possible. • Double check your pantry. Even if you’re making a meal you have made a dozen times in the past, peruse your pantry to make sure you have every ingredient you’re going to need. If you’re used to making the meal for four people but will now be making the meal for 12 of them, make sure you have enough of each ingredient to make the meal in bulk. To make things easier, update your recipe to reflect the additional guests before going to the grocery store. Doing so guarantees you won’t run out of ingredients once you start preparing the meal. • Ask guests to bring nonessential items. Guests will likely offer to bring something to the holiday dinner, and there’s nothing wrong with accepting help. But don’t ask guests to bring items that are essential to the meal, as that can delay the meal if guests get stuck in traffic or show up late. Instead, ask guests to bring a bottle of wine, a small dessert or even some snacks

guests can eat while waiting for the main course. • Ask about food allergies. While hosts don’t need to cater to every food allergy under the sun, ask each guest if there is any particular food or ingredient they absolutely must avoid. If enough guests admit they must avoid a particular dish, you then know not to prepare it. In addition, have plenty of vegetables on hand for guests who are vegan or vegetarian. Holiday hosting is fun, and first-time hosts can make it even more fun by employing a few veteran tricks of the

trade. The Sentinel does not endorse any products or services suggested by stock articles.

Hospital’s ‘Adopt a Holiday Family’ Program Features Generosity, Giving and Gratitude YORK Since its inception over twenty years ago, York Hospital’s ‘Adopt a Family’ Program has helped families and seniors in need of extra support over the holiday season by providing gifts and holiday meals to York County families! Thanks to the generosity

of hospital staff members and volunteers, this wonderful holiday tradition has again worked its giving magic this Friday morning. Orchestrated by the Hospital’s own Community Health Promotion (CHP) Team of Peg Clifford, Sue Patterson, Sally Manninen and Michelle

Mason, along with a troop of generous staff members, forty four families and seniors received gifts straight from their Christmas lists this holiday season, thanks to everyone’s effort! The ‘Adopt a Holiday Family’ Committee works with local agencies who match up hospital teams with families or seniors who may find

themselves struggling this season. The “YH Team Elves� (those groups adopting) are then matched with a family or senior. Organizers receive lists of suggestions on behalf of the families so that the gifts are appropriate to the ages, needs and wishlists of all! As much of the work done at York Hospital, discretion is crucial to ‘Adopt a Family’s’

success. However, the ‘YH elves’ are fortunate, and often find themselves able to experience some of their recipient’s gratitude first-hand—often receiving a personal note, phone call or message relayed by the folks delivering. It’s clear—generosity, giving and gratitude were found in abundance by all once again this holiday season.

Patsy Aprile Named 2016 Crystal Heart Honoree

YORK COUNTY On December 7, Southern Maine Health Care (SMHC) Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Patsy Aprile was named the American Heart Association’s 2016 Crystal Heart Honoree for promoting education and awareness of how to prevent cardiovascular diseases and stroke in women.

Pictured at the 12th Annual Go Red For Women event for York County are Aprile and colleagues from SMHC (front row, left to right) Tina Turgeon, 2016 Crystal Heart Honoree Patsy Aprile, Kim LaChance, Deb Tillotson, Vicki Lyons, (back

Add ‘Give Blood’ to your Holiday Checklist NATIONWIDE As freezing temperatures and harsh weather grip much of the nation, the American Red Cross urges eligible donors to make an appointment to give blood or platelets to help meet the constant need for blood this winter. Millions of people are expected to take to the roads, rail and air to celebrate the season, which can cause fewer donors to be available and lead to a decline in blood and platelet donations. In addition, severe winter weather and seasonal illnesses can temporarily prevent some from giving. Donors with all blood types are needed now to help patients. As a special thank you for taking the time to donate, those who come out to give through January 8 will receive a long-

sleeved Red Cross T-shirt, while supplies last. “Many of us celebrate this time of year with loved ones, but patients may spend the holidays and ring in the new year from a hospital room,� said Nick Gehrig, communications director, Red Cross Blood Services. “Blood and platelet donors can bring joy to patients and their families by giving blood or platelets to help ensure patients receive the lifesaving treatments they need.� How to donate blood: Simply download the American Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-7332767) to make an appointment or for more information. All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver’s li-

cense or two other forms of identification are required at checkin. Individuals who are 17 years of age in most states (16 with parental consent where allowed by state law), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements. Blood donors can now save time at their next donation by using RapidPass to complete their pre-donation reading and health history questionnaire online, on the day of their donation, prior to arriving at the blood drive. To get started and learn more, visit redcrossblood. org/RapidPass and follow the instructions on the site. The American Red Cross is a not-for-profit organization that depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to perform its mission.

Safe Haven Humane Society

WELLS Safe Haven has much to be thankful for, especially the chance to own our No-Kill shelter free and clear. With one week left to raise the final $25,000 to pay off our mortgage, we’re very hopeful that our supporters will help us reach this goal. Your generosity and financial support is making this dream a reality. Special thanks to Robert’s Maine Grill, 326 Route 1 in Kittery who will host two Community Suppers on December 28 and January 4 to support Safe Haven. Pay just $14 for a threecourse meal featuring Robert’s updated Maine Comfort Food. With Santa coming soon, our kitties are eagerly awaiting his visit. They’re hoping for 'Temptations' treats, poultry-fla-

vored Friskies canned cat food, laser mice or catnip. You may want to be a volunteer cat buddy or cat caregiver. There’s an emotional reward for both kitty and volunteer as you play, brush, massage or simply talk to a kitty. Many are shy and really need someone they can depend on to come in a few times a week to visit. You’ll help us find

a home for each kitty by taking photos and showing visitors the kitty you’re working with. Helping a homeless animal find their forever home! We’re especially eager for mother cat Daisy and her kittens Mattie (photo) and Pepper to be adopted to a great home together. This little family is tightly bonded to each other and each one is so sweet and very friendly! We’ve reduced the adoption fee to $150 for all three, less than you’d pay to have them neutered, rather than $95 each. Visit our cage-free Adoption Center, 1420 Post Road in Wells.

New Year’s Resolutions for Pets It's time to take a look back on the past year and determine what you might want to change, do better or accomplish in 2017. For pet parents, much of this reflection applies to the lives they share with their pets. Here are the top five 2017 Pet New Year's Resolutions according to TripsWithPets.com: Daily Walks: Whether it's a walk through the park, a stroll around the neighborhood or a jog along hiking trails, 37% of pet parents surveyed plan to get outside each day and move with their pets this year. Exercise, maintaining their pack leader status, and bonding is a moti-

vation for walking your pooch more often. Healthier Diet: Feeding pets better quality food is very important, whether it's glutenfree, grain-free, dairy-free, soyfree, corn-free, raw food, unprocessed food, or probiotics. More Outings: More car rides, doggie bakery visits, beach outings, and family vacations, are among the activities that allow some quality time with your pets to make for stronger bonds. Socialization: Nineteen percent of pet parents polled are See PETS page 36...

Freda L. Weaver, 88 YORK – Freda L. Weaver passed away December 16, 2016 at the age of 88. She was born in York and spent most of her life in this town that she loved. Freda taught elementary school for many years, first in Kittery, followed by a job in Germany. Freda then tutored individual students before returning to a full-time position in Eliot. Freda retired many years ago to enjoy decades of travel and adventures with her husband, family, and friends. Freda’s time was also devoted to supporting numerous local theater groups and playing cards whenever a whist group or cribbage tournament was gathered. She was active in her church, community, and many organizations including the Maine Retired Teachers Association and the North American Family Campers Association. Freda is survived by her three children, Margaret Louise (and her spouse Eileen Woodruff) of Whitinsville MA, Elizabeth Ann of Groton CT, and Richard Francis of Kittery. She has one grandchild, Jennifer Carolyn Weaver, who lives in Germany. Freda was predeceased by her loving husband of 49 years, Robert Nelson. Visiting hours were held at the Pelkey Funeral Home, 125 Old Post Road, Kittery, on December 20. A funeral mass was held at St. Christopher by the Sea Church in York, on December 21. Donations may be made to the York Community Service Association Food Pantry of York, or the Good Shepard Foodbank of Maine in Auburn.

zero in New England, AAA reminds motorists to be prepared. “Batteries do not perform as well in extreme cold temperatures,” says Pat Moody Manager of Public Affairs for AAA Northern New England. “When cold weather hits, a weak battery may not have sufficient strength to start the vehicle.” Last winter AAA came to the aid of a record number of motorists-boosting batteries, unfreezing locks and towing vehicles to heated garages to thaw frozen components. The AAA call center in Portland, Maine and a network of dedicated contractors are preparing for double the call volume due to the extreme cold temperatures forecasted. Preparing your vehicle for colder temperatures can help prevent becoming stranded in ...CRUMBLE from page 12 building whips back and forth,” Taylor says. Anything made of brick or concrete also can be problematic. • The limits of building codes. Current building codes require that a new building be constructed so it won’t collapse during a major earthquake. But even when they remain standing, buildings can sustain enough damage to cause them to be condemned and therefore unusable. “People think that if they move into a brand new building that meets all the modern building codes, that their building will perform well during earthquakes and they will be able to inhabit them immediately after a seismic event,” Taylor says. “They also think the contents of the building, including personal items, will be intact. This is simply not true.” In this case, he says, a lack of awareness may be a major factor in keeping the necessary fixes from happening. “I think you can look at the nation’s vulnerability in this area as a bad news and good news situation,” Taylor says. “Clearly, the bad news is the potential hazard for people and property. The good news is that we’re not facing something that’s unsolvable. We as a nation just need to recognize that these problems exist and have a determination to address them.” Douglas P. Taylor is president of Taylor Devices (www.taylordevices.com), which manufactures seismic dampers that protect structures during such events as earthquakes and high winds. He is inventor or co-inventor of 34 patents in the fields of energy management, hydraulics and shock isolation. In 2015, he was inducted into the Space Technology Hall of Fame by NASA and the Space Foundation.

winter weather. AAA recommends the following: At 0° F a car’s battery loses about 60 percent of its strength. Even at 32° F, it is 35 percent weaker than normal. Have a qualified automotive technician perform a load test on your battery to make sure it’s strong enough for winter Clean any corrosion from battery posts and cable connections with battery terminal cleaner or a solution of baking soda and water. Have the battery and charging system tested by a professional technician to ensure they are in good condition to handle cold weather. Have any engine drivability problems corrected at a good repair shop. Symptoms like

hard starts, rough idling, stalling or diminished power could signal a problem that will be exacerbated by cold weather. Replace worn windshieldwiper blades. If driving in harsh climates, purchase onepiece beam-type or rubber-clad “winter” blades to fight snow and ice build-up. Use coldweather windshield washer solvent that won’t freeze, and carry an ice-scraper and snow brush. Inspect all vehicle lighting, and replace any burned-out bulbs. Having clouded headlight lenses restored will greatly improve nighttime vision. Have a mechanic check the exhaust system for leaks and look for any under-car openings that could allow poisonous exhaust gasses into the vehicle interior. Examine tires for tread

depth, uneven wearing and cupping. Check tire pressures once a month when tires are cold, and before driving for any distance. In extreme climates, a set of snow tires in some climates may be a wise investment for winter driving safety. With newer vehicles “warming up the car” might not be a necessary requirement from a mechanical standpoint but from a driver comfort and safety standpoint …it is key. Warming up your car allows for the motorist to shed restricting clothing. Boots, gloves, hats and heavy jackets may restrict movement make operating the car more challenging. Warming up the car also helps clear ice and condensation from the windows. For more information: www.AAA.com.

Gas Prices in New England Continue to Climb Pump prices have risen for 20 of the past 21 days, rising a total of 11 cents during this span. The national average price for regular unleaded gasoline sits at $2.24 per gallon, which is the highest mark since October. Today’s average is three cents more than one week ago, nine cents more compared to one month ago and 24 cents more than the same date last year. We’re seeing increases at the pumps due to rising oil prices, said Dan Goodman manager of public affairs for AAA Northern New England. “We think oil prices have reached close to their peak and prices will decline due to declining demand after the holiday and many refiners begin discounting excess inventories of wintergrade fuel,” said Goodman. Local Prices Vermont’s current price is $2.31 per gallon, which is 2 cents

higher than one week ago, and 17 cents higher than one year ago. New Hampshire’s current price is $2.20 per gallon, which is 1 cent higher than one week ago and 18 cents higher than one year ago. Maine’s current price is $2.32 per gallon, which is 2 cents higher than one week ago and 20 cents higher than one year ago. Massachusetts current price is $2.25 per gallon, which is 3 cents higher than one week ago and 17 cents higher than one year ago. Oil Market Dynamics Last week, markets continued to react to the OPEC production agreement as Saudi Arabia and Russia made clear their intentions to fully cooperate with the production cut. OPEC and non-OPEC members agreed this month to cut oil production collectively by 1.8 million barrels

per day in an effort to rebalance the global oil market. In reaction to the OPEC agreement, U.S. interest in oil production has increased and drillers added 12 new oil rigs in the last week, bringing the total oil-rig count to 510 rigs nationwide, according to Baker Hughes Inc. Traders will continue to watch how OPEC and non-OPEC members move forward with the terms of the agreement and how U.S. oil producers react. At the close of Friday’s formal trading session on the NYMEX, WTI was up $1.00 to settle at $51.90 per barrel.

Pet Travel: Take Rover Along, or Leave Him Behind?

As a pet parent, a road trip with a furry kid might seem like a dream come true. You'd love the opportunity to bond and share new experiences with him, and you'd certainly appreciate the company. But before you load your beloved pet into the car for the long haul, take a moment to reflect. A pet who's a great companion at home, on walks, and on short trips around town won't necessarily be an ideal travel buddy. Long trips aren't right for every pet, and your pet's needs should come before your desire to take him along. Does My Pet have a RoadWorthy Temperament? Like people, dogs have a wide range of different temperaments. Some are laid-back and easygoing, while others are nervous and high-strung. If your pet is adaptable, easy to please and likes new places and new people, he's likely to be a great travel buddy. However, if he's nervous by nature, skittish about

car rides, or anxious when confronted with something new, chances are, he's not ready for a long trip. If your pet is nervous or fearful, don't despair - with some training, he may eventually become a great pet traveler. He just may have to stay home this time around. With appropriate training, commitment, and patience, most temperament problems can be overcome. Your pet can become less sensitive to stimuli, and more suited for travel. That said, desensitizing training techniques aren't a quick fix. You'll need to dedicate the time, offer a lot of leeway and understanding, and let your pet set the pace. Will This Trip be Fun for my Pet? Will your pet be comfortable? Did you plan pet friendly activities he will enjoy? Your dog might love an impromptu hiking trip through the mountains or a glorious day on the beach, but he may not be so thrilled to share

your mother's tiny apartment with her cats while you head off to the golf course or sit alone in a hotel room during your outof-town business meetings, (in fact, many pet friendly hotels don't allow pets to stay alone in rooms). You know your dog best, so you are the best person to judge whether this trip will be an enjoyable one for him - if not, you can adjust your plans to be more pet friendly, or you can let him stay home where he's sure to be comfortable. Is My Pet in Good Health? If your pet is injured or under-the-weather, you may be tempted to take him along on your trip so you can watch over him. After all, no one will care for him like you do! However, it may be best for your pet to stay behind under the care of trusted friend or family member. You will be busy driving, after all, and you won't really keep vigil over him. The trip may make him tired, distressed or uncom-

fortable - factors that will be difficult to remedy far from home. A pet in pain or discomfort may even act out, which won't make for a pleasant trip for either of you. If your pet is elderly, but in good health, you'll need to make a judgment call. If he enjoys taking car trips and visiting new places, taking him along may very well be good for him. If he likes trips, but becomes uncomfortable easily, he may be better off at home. If you're undecided, a quick trip to consult with your vet can help you figure out whether a road trip is in your pet's best interest. If your pet suffers from travel anxiety, routinely taking him on brief trips, or planning occasional trips that end up somewhere exciting and fun can help teach him that traveling is a rewarding experience. If your pet experiences motion sickness during car rides, all is not lost - a number of remedies exist to help alleviate his suffering, including reconditioning, traditional medi-

cations, and holistic remedies. If your pet is up for it, hitting the road with him can be a fantastic way to break up the blahs, have some fun adventures, and spend some quality time together. However, even if your pet isn't perfectly suited for travel right now, it doesn't mean he never can be. For more information: www. tripswithpets.com. ...PETS from page 28 committed to helping their shy, skittish, or fearful pet become more comfortable around people, other pets, and in public places. Training: A close cousin of socialization, training, comes in as the fifth most popular pet resolution of 2017. A good number of pet parents plan to devote the time to curb some not-so-favorable behavior, from teaching Rover not to bark at house guests and drag you while on walks, to practicing better recall. For more information: www.tripswithpets.com.

SPORTS Freemasons Assist Youth and Coaches with Futsal Gear John Rafferty and Chris Melino have been instrumental in getting the game of Futsal off the ground in South Berwick and Eliot. Futsal is also referred to as “Five-A-Side� or “Mini-Soccer,� and was originally developed in Uruguay in 1930 by Juan Carlos Ceriani, as a version of soccer for youth competition in YMCA’s. Futsal is played either indoors or out on basketball-sized courts and has primarily been a fall / winter activity in the area to keep youth engaged in a soccer based activity in the off-season. When Futsal dad and Freemason member Bill Young heard that John had to drive to Lee, NH every week to borrow nets and drive all the way back to return them, he knew that his lodge could help. Members of St. Johns Lodge, Bill Young, Wayne MacPherson and Ricky Schoff,

showed up to help raise money by selling popcorn and drinks at a free Friday night futsal clinic. When parents found out about their fundraising effort, they were more than generous and provided donations to support the cause. Donations received from parents provided the matching contributions needed in order to maximize the funds available from the Maine Masonic Youth Activities matching grant. Within days John and Chris had 4 new futsal nets and 14 youth-sized futsal balls to use in clinics and afterschool programs. The Maine Masonic Charitable Grants offer matching funds for projects like this in an effort to expand the opportunity for community betterment, and masonic member involvement in their communities. The grants require involvement from members to

~ Sports ~ Holiday shoppers who have a sports-crazed superfan or accomplished athlete on their shopping lists may want to consider the following items: • Sports memorabilia: Sports fanatics sometimes double as collectors who are always on the lookout for new memorabilia. Such collectibles may include bobbleheads, cards, ticket stubs and signed photographs or equipment. Rare memorabilia may be beyond many gift-givers’ means, but there are still impressive items that can fit into your budget. • Game tickets: Give sports fans a chance to cheer on their favorite teams in person. Find a home game that will not require the recipient to travel too far, or include transportation with the tickets to an away game. Secondary market ticket-seller StubHub is a reliable resource that guarantees tickets sold on its site are legitimate, removing any doubt ticket market buyers may have. • Fan gear: Sports fans can never have enough gear to show off their team pride. Everything from mugs to hats to authentic team jerseys makes for great stocking stuffers. If you can’t find a particular item, it may be possible to order it directly from a team or retailer or have it customized. • Sports equipment: Athletes

Though some people pore over their holiday shopping lists for weeks, it’s not uncommon for even the most devoted holiday shopper to overlook stocking stuffers, which can be just as difficult to find as larger gifts. ...FUTSAL from page 36 are able to make a greater impact on their community betterment causes because of this generous grant offering, whether it be Bikes for Books, Youth activities, Project Graduation, or any other community betterment initiative. The futsal nets and balls purchased benefit children by providing them the opportunity to learn the rules and fundamentals of the game using regulation approved equipment. The new equipment is not only being used at the Central and Great Works schools after-school programs, but will also benefit kids that attend the free futsal clinics that John and Chris provide most Friday nights for grades 1-8.
