Libraries Outfitted to Keep Readers Reading Longer

Robert Waldman, Director of York Public Library, looks on as Theo Kontos, Librarian at York Public Library, road tests the desk-top video magnifier with a copy of the daily paper.

YORK, KENNEBUNK & BIDDEFORD – Thanks to a generous grant from Kennebunk Savings Bank’s Huntington Commons Charitable Foundation, the York Public Library, Kennebunk Free Library, and McArthur Public Library each received a desktop video magnifier recently as a result of teaming up with The Iris Network on the Reading for All program. Launched in April of 2013, Reading for All is a program, available state-wide to public libraries, designed by vision rehabilitation professionals at The Iris Network in concert with librarians. The program objective, through a hands-on vision fair,

is to let people know there are many, many ways to continue reading – even with low or no vision. Reading is crucial to independence and the ability to begin reading at a younger age and longer in life makes a tremendous difference. A desk-top video magnifier allows users to magnify printed text up to 77 times, it can change the background and text colors to provide higher contrast, and, if the user is fatigued, it will read the text aloud. In addition to reading books, desk-top video magnifiers are most used to write checks, letters, cards, lists or to fill in a form.

Kennebunk Free Library is receiving its first desk-top video magnifier, York Public Library is replacing an outdated one, and McArthur Public Library is replacing one that was inoperable. Staff from The Iris Network provided orientation and training on the desk-top video magnifiers and has left handouts for both staff and patrons. According to McArthur Library’s Assistant Director, Sally Leahey, “Library staff are thrilled to be able to offer our patrons the use of this wonderful piece of equipment. We know that the magnifier will open up new reading possibilities to many people in our community.”

Education Foundation (MEF) Prize Patrol surprised grant recipients with giant checks and balloons while presenting their Fall Grant awards. The first stop was Eliot Elementary School where Brian Bergeron-Killough, EES Music Teacher, was awarded $900 for a Ukelele Club, which will be made up of second and third graders who will meet once a week to learn to play the ukulele. There will be performances at school assemblies and community events. “Ukuleles for the Eliot Elementary School music room will give many children an opportunity to play a stringed instrument for the first time. It is a wonderful gift to the program. We are so grateful to Marshwood Education Foundation for this grant,” said Bergeron-Killough. Next stop was Central School where three grants were awarded. Jenn Bogard, Central School Literacy Coach, was awarded $1,000 for “Little Free Libraries”. Students will work with local artist Shane Chick to locate, design and build two

little, free libraries around Eliot and/or South Berwick. For more information, check out littlefreelibrary.org. Then, the Prize Patrol surprised Kate Audet Smith, Music Teacher and Outdoor Classroom Coordinator at Central School, who was awarded a $4,900 grant to help pay for “Central School Cares”, which is an anti-bullying initiative whose aim is to reinforce a culture of kindness and acceptance while teaching students the tools and skills they need to avoid or get out of a bullying situation. With this grant, Musician Jeff Erwin will spend seven days with all Central School kids to work on a project called “Sticks and Stones,” which will promote social kindness and social acceptance and help kids avoid bully behavior. The “Sticks and Stones” residency is a creative, performancebased approach to learning about the effects of bullying. Taught in a caring, respectful way, students will learn about

Lebanon Rescue Department Delivers Christmas Spirit LEBANON Lebanon Rescue Department Corporation held another very successful Operation Santa. In its 17th year, the drive collected gifts that were delivered to 397 children in the town. Gifts were personally delivered by members of the Lebanon Rescue Department on Dec. 20 and 21. The group spent 12 hours delivering gifts to homes on almost every road in town.

“The looks on the children’s eyes make it all worth it,” said Chief Samantha Cole. “We started getting emails and calls in July from parents wanting to sign their children up for a special visit from Santa on the ambulance.

Wiegert were coming in for a meeting when MEF surprised him with a $2,245.60 grant to help pay for “Junior First Lego League”. Mr. Wiegert conceptualized this program enabling four teams of six students each to build LEGO robots with motorized parts to solve problems with help from high school mentors. “We are very grateful that MEF has been investing in the robotics program throughout the school district and it really shows how innovative the foundation is to ensure the students are provided with STEM programs. It is a pleasure to see a foundation that invest in children and understands the importance of the next generation,” said Mr. Wiegert. The MEF Prize Patrol

finished up the day’s exciting awards with a visit to Marshwood Great Works School. They surprised fifth grade teacher Elizabeth Higgins, who collaborated with Marshwood Schools’ Parent and Community member David Whelan Jr., to write a grant for “5th Grade Robotics”, an in-class Robotics project for all fifth graders using LEGO Mindstorm robotics kits. “We are thrilled with receiving the MEF grant for the fifth grade robotics. This will provide many of our students the opportunity to work in small groups to solve real life problems using math, science and technology,” said MGWS Principal Jerry Burnell. As Mrs. Higgins was presented with the $4,199 grant

award in front of her fifth grade class, Mr. Burnell shared with the students that Mrs. Higgins wrote the same grant the year before, but didn’t win. Instead of giving up, she persevered, rewrote the grant and tried again. Mr. Burnell emphasized to the students the importance of not giving up when success doesn’t come right away. MEF has now awarded 32 grants totaling over $80,000 to benefit Marshwood students. “Being here to award the grants really gives you a sense of how valuable and innovative these projects are. MEF is a little community organization run by volunteers and we thank our donors and the Marshwood community for supporting us,” said MEF President Seth Herbold.

BERWICK Thanks to the ceaseless efforts of Anthony J. Cincotta, Jr. and a team of five community leaders and businessmen, the U.S. flag that flies over Lord’s Cemetery and adjacent Veteran’s Memorial Park in Berwick is now brightly illuminated. Ronald Reagan famously said, “When you can’t make them see the light, make them feel the heat”. CSM Cincotta spearheaded this project to finally bring light to this solemn space as required by the U.S. Flag Code, although he reportedly did not need to use heat to achieve his goal. Working behind the scenes, Cincotta assembled a team of experts who volunteered their time, labor and expertise to design, procure, install, excavate and reseed the area surrounding the cemetery flagpole in Veteran’s Memorial Park.

Dave Stolpe, owner of Advantage Electric, designed, procured and installed the lighting, while Dennis Lajoie, Regional Operations Manager for Central Maine Power, was instrumental in obtaining the authorization to hook up the transmission lines. Lajoie also provided the necessary cable and meter. Bryan O’Connor, Chairman of Berwick’s Board of Selectmen, provided his services and equipment over the course of days to complete excavations required to install electrical cables and equipment. And Jimmy Chandler, owner of Boulanger Paving, contributed his time and equipment to remove excavation debris and dress the landscape, while Jimmy Guy, owner of JR Guy Construction, reseeded the landscape and returned the site to its original condition in advance

Great Works Helping Local Farmers

SOUTH BERWICK Anyone lucky enough to have health insurance and paid days off probably wouldn’t think twice about staying home to rest a sore back,but with crops to harvest, others to plant and an endless slate of exacting tasks to manage, most farmers don’t have that luxury. Dr. Seth LaFlamme is aiming to change that. Starting this winter, LaFlamme will accept surplus produce from local farmers in exchange for services from his practice, Great Works Chiropractic and Wellness. “It’s a labor of love for them,” says LaFlamme, who

runs Great Works along with his wife, Dr. Briana Duga. “They’re using their body very intensely, for the purpose of feeding the people around them and getting us away from our over-reliance on industrial agriculture. I feel like that deserves recognition and a kind of special consideration.” A regular at local farms and markets, Dr. Seth – his preferred title – says he’s been approached a number of times over the years by farmers who expressed interest in stopping in, but who in many cases simply couldn’t justify the cost. Now, all they’ll have to worry about is grabbing a canvas bag of what’s lying around.

“Whatever it is, we’ll take,” says LaFlamme. “Whether it’s on our dinner tables or in community pantries, we’ll make sure the produce gets put to good use.” LaFlamme says that while farmer’s tend to be in better shape than most, spending endless days hunched over or burdened by heavy loads can’t help but exact painful tolls. “We have this idea that work creates more muscle, but that’s not the whole story,” LaFlamme explains. “Once you develop a problem, the intensity of the work can prevent very important healing. So it can get worse very quickly.” According to LaFlamme, the appeal of chiropractors for farmers is twofold: It’s much cheaper than other medical means, and – once the patient is established – there are no twohour doctor’s office waits to contend with, meaning they can quickly get back to what they do best.

“It’s a quick visit, but it keeps you functioning,” says LaFlamme. “It’s much better to take an easy step to help maintain the body rather than just waiting for everything to fall apart.” If the practice’s recent history is any indication, the public is starting to heed the chiropractic clarion call: LaFlamme recently moved a few doors down with a bigger office that includes additional examination rooms, a more spacious lobby, and an x-ray machine – a must for most practices. LaFlamme’s plan is to use the new space to conduct forums, talks, movie showings, and the like, all in the interest of helping foster a more “sustainabilityminded” community. “To me, the more that we walk the walk, the more that we show people what sustainable living looks like and how it can be achieved, the stronger our community will be,” he says. “We want people to think of it as a home away from home.” It’s that sense of home that

drew LaFlamme back to the Seacoast in the first place. After studying Philosophy, English, and Humanities at the University of Maine at Farmington, LaFlamme followed then-girlfriend Duga, to Atlanta, where the latter planned to study Chiropractic at the field-renowned Life University, the largest school of its kind anywhere in the world. Motivated as much by his own neck and back pain as he was the thrill of something new, eventually LaFlamme decided to give chiropractic a try for himself. He never looked back. Instead, it’s all about what lies ahead: A happy family, a thriving practice, and – starting soon – a steadfast emphasis on a new kind of creative community economy.

All five men were honored recently and received framed Certificates of Appreciation citing their specific accomplishments in support of this initiative from Charles S. Hatch Post #79, The American Legion. This project was a true community effort, supported additionally with monetary donations from Spence and Mathews Insurance, Kennebunk Savings Bank, Lowery and Sons Roofing, Brown Industrial Group, and several local citizens. The many months of time, effort and planning by all involved resulted in a project that greatly enhances Berwick’s Veteran’s Memorial Park where now, anytime, whether it be it at night or “by the dawn’s early light”, we can all clearly see the American Flag flown there in honor of all veterans of our community and country.

~ Arts & Entertainment ~ Parade Winners Announced from Ogunquit Christmas Celebrations OGUNQUIT It has been a busy holiday season for the town of Ogunquit, which wrapped up its Christmas by the Sea festivities last weekend. Highlighting the weekend was the Christmas Parade, which featured ornate floats and fun for everyone. Receiving awards for their seasonally-decorated floats were the Ogunquit Playhouse, which earned first place for their Dr. Seuss themed float, Maine Street, which took home second place for a Snow Queen inspiration, and

the Five-O rounded out placements with a third place finish for an Alvin-and-the-Chipmunksthemed float. Earning honorable mention for their designs were Perkins Cove Lobster Pound, ReMax, Clay Hill Farm, Moon Over Maine and the Ogunquit Chamber of Commerce. While many businesses were busy decorating floats for the parade, other businesses and residents were preparing for the Ogunquit Christmas Decorating awards.

Dance Hall Receives Planning Grant For Living History Project KITTERY A project to gather the living memories of Kittery’s Grange and Foreside neighborhood got a boost this month with a planning grant from the Maine Humanities Council. “There’s rarely a week I don’t meet someone who recalls going to dances or other events in the Grange Hall,” says Drika Overton, founder and director of the Dance Hall, located in the old Grange building on Walker Street. “The Grange was a core part of civic life in many Maine towns for most of the last century. “I realized this is a rich history we need to capture, especially now that Kittery is changing rapidly and many people are moving here who don’t know much about its past,” she says. “The $500 grant from the Council will help us get started.” The core of the project will be videotaped interviews, says Overton. Overton is known in the Seacoast as a tap dancer/teacher, creator of the jazz adaptation of “The Nutcracker:Clara’s Dream,” and coproducer of a film, “4 Theatres: Remembering Portsmouth in the Age of Vaudeville,” about the early theaters of Portsmouth. She intends to weave the collected stories, photographs, and other artifacts into a multi-media public exhibit, and perhaps a performance. “We’re planning to work with the Kittery Historical and Naval Society, the state Grange, high school students and the Rice Public Library,” Overton says. “We already have volunteer writers, researchers, preservationists, and photographers involved. It’s exciting.” To share memories about the Kittery Grange or the Foreside, please call Drika Overton at 207-703-2083. Photographs also are being sought.

musician, will use his free time to accelerate his creative work from his newly designed homebased studio in Berwick. He has an assemblage in the current show at 100 Market Street Gallery, and he continues to take a wide variety of musical assignments as “The Flute Guy.” He’s also working on his first book, “Happy Dawg Walks The Sad Man: The Remarkably Varied Adventures of a True Arts Multiple,” scheduled for publication in 2014. The book will include 22 chapters chronicling his encounters in the fine and performing arts over more than 50 years, and will be illustrated with his own multi-media artworks. Bachelder wants to thank hundreds of people whose artworks he designed over the past 18 years for their warmth and loyalty as frame shop customers. “Designing artworks is an enormously creative endeavor,” he says, “It has been an honor for me to serve so many customers from throughout the Seacoast region and beyond.”

Ross Bachelder is stepping away from his 18-year career at Ben Franklin Crafts in Rochester, N.H. to focus on his work at his home-based studio in Berwick. Bachelder is also releasing his first book in 2014.

He also wants to express his appreciation for the many artists whose works have been exhibited for the past 15 years at the Franklin Gallery. Those who would like to be on the notification list for publication of Bachelder’s upcoming book, “Happy Dawg Walks The Sad Man,” may reach him at artsmultiple@ gmail.com and/or 207-2162842.

Former KFL Trustee Returns for Lecture

KENNEBUNK Abraham Lincoln wrote, “I don’t know who my grandfather was; I am much more concerned to know what his grandson will be.” The search for our ancestry is engrossing, time consuming and rarely disappointing. Pam Eagleson, CG, will present the lecture “Finding Thomas’ Father : An 18th Century Prince William County Virginia Case Study” at the Kennebunk Free Library on Saturday, Jan. 4, 2014 at 10 a.m. “Genealogy is my passion and I feel fortunate to be able to

follow it wherever it takes me. I teach, lecture and write and enjoy mentoring beginning genealogists,” Eagleson Said. “Dividing my time between personal research focusing on the midAtlantic, mid-West and Germany, and client work in New England, I utilize the resources of several Maine, New England and national repositories.” Eagleson, former Trustee of the Kennebunk Free Library, will once again use her talents to benefit the patrons of the KFL.

Well-Traveled Artist Brings Social Change Exhibit to YPL YORK Art as expression has the power to engage the viewer on many levels. When a painter chooses to fuse his skill with his vantage point of the political and cultural landscape, art becomes activist commentary, documentation and a statement of honor of people who made a difference in the world, often at great risk. Portrait artist Robert Shetterly has dedicated himself to remembering many of these activists with his portrait series “Americans Who Tell The Truth.” While there are the more familiar social change icons, Martin Luther King, Jr., Cesar Chavez and Howard Zinn, Shetterly invites us to acknowledge the many men

Venues have included everything from university museums and grade school libraries to sandwich shops, the Cathedral of Saint John, the Divine in New York City and the Superior Court in San Francisco. To date, the exhibit has visited 26 states. In 2005, Dutton published a book of the portraits by the same name. In 2006, the book won the top award of the International Reading Association for Intermediate non-fiction. Shetterly’s portraits will be exhibited at the York Public Library with a concurrent exhibit at York Middle School. This is a special opportunity to view an artistic and cultural expression by an artist who gives honor and remembrance to Americans that dared to speak the truth, often in the face of nay-sayers and worse, to bring justice and dignity to generations of people. This exhibit is in commemoration of Black History Month and Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. An accompanying biography will be hung with each portrait. “Americans Who Tell The

Frank Edward Clark, 57 KITTERY Frank Edward Clark, 57, of Kittery, left us suddenly on Dec. 5, 2013, after a period of failing health.

He was known for helping his neighbors and customers with whatever needed to be done. He will be greatly missed by many. Services for Frank will be private for immediate family, and anyone wishing to honor Frank may make a donation in his name to your local SPCA or animal shelter, as this would please him greatly. His beloved

boxer dog, Monti, predeceased him by two weeks and we trust they are romping happily together again now. Care for the Clark family has been entrusted to the JS Pelkey Funeral Home.

Peter Marble, 65 BERWICK Peter Marble, of 73 Little River Road in Berwick, died on Friday, Dec. 20, 2013 at Wentworth Douglass Hospital following a long period of failing health.

BUSINESS & FINANCE Financial Resolutions for the New Year

About 45 percent of Americans usually make New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resolutions, according to a survey from the University of Scranton. But the same survey shows that only 8 percent of us actually keep our resolutions. Perhaps this low success rate isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t such a tragedy when our resolutions involve things like losing a little weight or learning a foreign language. But when we make financial resolutions â&#x20AC;&#x201D; resolutions that, if achieved, could significantly help us in our pursuit of our important long-term goals â&#x20AC;&#x201D; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clearly worthwhile to make every effort to follow through. So, what sorts of financial resolutions might you consider? Here are a few possibilities: Boost your contributions to your retirement plans. Each year, try to put in a little more to your IRA and your 401(k) or other employersponsored retirement plans.

These tax-advantaged accounts are good options for your retirement savings strategy. Reduce your debts. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not always easy to reduce your debts, but make it a goal to finish 2014 with a smaller debt load than you had going into the new year. The lower your monthly debt payments, the more money youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to invest for retirement, college for your children (or grandchildren) and other important objectives. Build your emergency fund. Work on building an â&#x20AC;&#x153;emergency fundâ&#x20AC;? containing six to 12 monthsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; worth of living expenses, with the money held in a liquid account that offers a high degree of preservation of principal. Without such a fund, you might be forced to dip into your long-term investments to pay for emergencies, such as a new furnace, a major car repair, and so on. You might not be able to finish creating your emergency fund in one year, but contribute as much as you can afford.

Plan for your protection needs. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t already have the proper amounts of life and disability insurance in place, put it on your â&#x20AC;&#x153;To Doâ&#x20AC;? list for 2014. Also, if you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t taken steps to protect yourself from the considerable costs of longterm care, such as an extended nursing home stay, consult with your financial professional, who can suggest the appropriate protection or investment vehicles. You may never need such care, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a chance you may not want to take â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the longer you wait, the more expensive your protection options may become.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t overreact to market volatility. Too many people head to the investment â&#x20AC;&#x153;sidelinesâ&#x20AC;? during market downturns. But if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not invested, then you miss any potential market gains â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the biggest gains are often realized at the early stages of the rally. Focus on the long term. You can probably check your investment balance online, which means you can do it every day, or even several times a day â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but should you? If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re following a strategy thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appropriate for your needs, goals, risk tolerance and time horizon,

Understanding 2013 Medicare Tax In 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act were passed into law. One of their important provisions is a new Medicare tax designed to help pay the cost of health care reform. The new tax is effective in 2013, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to start planning now if you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t done so already. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s changing? Medicare contribution tax. The 2.90 percent Medicare tax will continue to be applied to wages and net self-employment income. Half of the tax (1.45 percent) is picked up by the employer and the other half (1.45 percent) by the employee. Effective in 2013, an additional 0.90 percent tax will be levied on wages and self-employment income above certain thresholds.

Wages or net earnings above $200,000 (single), $250,000 (married), or $125,000 (married but filing separately) will be taxed at an overall rate of 3.80 percent. The 0.90 percent rate increase applies only to the employeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (or self-employed taxpayerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) share of the Medicare tax. Unlike the social security tax, which has a â&#x20AC;&#x153;wage baseâ&#x20AC;? ceiling, there is no compensation limit. Each dollar is subject to the Medicare tax. An example of this would be that Tom earns $300,000 and Janet earns $150,000. Tomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s employer will withhold 0.90 percent (or $900) on the $100,000 earned in excess of $200,000. Janetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s employer will not withhold any additional Medicare tax. Rather, the additional Medicare tax will be computed based on the cou-

pleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s combined wages over the $250,000 threshold for married taxpayers (or $200,000), resulting in a tax of $1,800. This would leave them with an additional $900 tax when filing their return, over and above the $900 that Tomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s employer withheld. Higher-income taxpayers will also be subject to a 3.80 percent tax on most net investment income over the thresholds, in addition to any other applicable tax. The exceptions are distributions from retirement accounts â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including pensions, 401(k)s, and IRAs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and income generated from municipal bonds. Keep in mind, however, that distributions from retirement accounts can push your adjusted gross income over the threshold, thus subjecting you to a 3.80 percent tax on your other investment income. The following types of investment income will be affected: Taxable interest, capital gains, dividends, non-qualified annuity distributions, royalties, and rental income. In addition, the new Medicare tax on investments will affect homeowners with appreciation greater than $250,000 ($500,000 if married) on their personal residences. The new law will also apply to estates and most trusts. The threshold for estates and trusts is currently $11,950, the amount at which their highest tax bracket begins. For individuals, the 3.80 percent Medicare tax is applied to the lesser of net investment income or the excess of modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) over the applicable threshold ($200,000 for single filers, $250,000 for married See TAXES page 11...

Budget Panel Urged to Reduce Tax Breaks for Corporations to Prevent Cuts to Towns, Families AUGUSTA Key lawmakers urged the state’s budget-writing panel to scale back corporate loopholes and tax breaks to big businesses that don’t create jobs or help Maine’s economy and to prevent funding cuts to Maine cities and towns on Dec. 12. “Maine families and small business can’t afford to see their property taxes skyrocket even more. We must ask large corporations to pitch in,” said Rep. Adam Goode of Bangor, who served as the House Chair of the Tax Expenditure Commission. “Corporate loopholes and tax breaks have gone relatively untouched while programs that help Mainers, like property tax relief, Head Start, or Meals on Wheels have been on the chopping block.”

As part of the two-year budget, the commission was charged with finding $40 million in savings from the state’s billions of dollars in tax breaks. The savings will prevent further cuts to municipal revenue sharing. The bipartisan commission of lawmakers, economists, accountants, and business leaders recommended a road map of savings options for the budget panel’s consideration, including reducing business equipment tax breaks for retailers, narrowing exemptions for commercial real estate development, eliminating offshore tax havens; and closing loopholes for corporate income tax filings. The commission also created a first-ever ongoing process for determining the economic benefit of the state’s tax credits

and exemptions. “It was a top priority for us to get a comprehensive on-going evaluation of our tax breaks and credits in place, so that your committee could make informed decisions about which exemptions are helping Maine’s economy,” said Senator Haskell of Portland. The budget panel chairs praised the new evaluation system. “This on-going evaluation process has been long overdue,” said Senator Hill of York, the Senate chair of the budget com-

mittee. “We must hold accountable the efficacy of these exemptions and credits just like we do with all state spending.” Earlier this year, Governor Paul LePage proposed a budget that eliminated municipal revenue sharing and shifted $400 million in taxes to communities and their commercial and residential property owners. The Legislature passed a bipartisan budget and overrode his veto, blunting his property tax hikes and keeping the bulk of revenue sharing in place.

More than 30 House Democrats sent a letter to members of the budget committee urging them to “remain vigilant” against further cuts to revenue sharing. Rep. Peggy Rotundo, the House chair of the budget committee, called attention to the letter during the hearing, noting that the lawmakers preferred the committee hone in on savings from closing corporate loopholes and scaling back tax See PANEL page 19...

...TAXES from page 10 filers, and $125,000 for married filing separately). An example to better understand this includes a situation where Mark and Sue have earnings from wages of $175,000 and investment earnings of $100,000. The couple’s total wages and investment earnings (MAGI) equal $275,000. According to the rule, the 3.80 percent Medicare tax will be applied to the lesser of net investment income ($100,000) or the excess of MAGI over the applicable threshold ($25,000). In Mark and Sue’s case, then, only $25,000 will be subject to the Medicare tax. The entire $100,000 in investment income will be subject to either capital gains or ordinary income tax, depending on the nature of the income. If you believe that your income tax rate will be higher in the future than it is today, you may want to consider taking some kind of action to minimize the impact. One possibility might be a Roth IRA. Roth IRAs have become popular alternatives to traditional IRAs. Not only does money held in a Roth IRA grow tax-deferred for federal income tax purposes, but distributions are also tax-free if certain requirements are met. (Please note: State tax treatment of Roth IRAs differs. Consult your tax advisor about your state’s rules.) Another advantage is that no minimum distributions are required upon reaching age 70-and-a-half. Thus, you may avoid having retirement distributions increase

your adjusted gross income over the threshold and exposing other income to the new Medicare surtax. If a Roth IRA makes overall financial sense for you, you can convert a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA. When you convert to a Roth IRA, you pay income tax on the taxable dollars that are converted. These taxes are due in full in the year of conversion. Paying taxes on the conversion today may allow future distributions to escape scheduled tax increases later. It is generally better to pay these taxes with funds from another account; using IRA assets will typically result in more taxes and may involve early withdrawal penalties, depending on your age. For more information on how the new tax will impact you and your family, please speak with your financial advisor.

Eating Well at Any Age: How to Fuel Your Mind, Body and Soul It’s common knowledge that children should eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, consuming all the nutrients needed to grow up strong. Many adults don’t know that it’s just as crucial to continue those healthy habits throughout adulthood and well into the “golden years.” Regardless of age, we should all make nutritious and sensible choices to promote peak physical and mental performance. Build strong bones Experts say the human body begins to lose bone mass at about age 30. That’s why it’s important to get plenty of calcium to keep bones strong, along with vitamin D to help

your body absorb calcium. Good sources of calcium include green leafy vegetables such as spinach, kale, okra and collard greens. A convenient and delicious way to take in more calcium is to incorporate a smoothie into your daily routine. Simply blend pineapple, celery and spinach with soy milk and ice in a blender. This quick and easy concoction will give your diet an extra boost of essential nutrients. Sharpen the mind Making wholesome choices helps keep your brain fit. Omega3 fatty acids, found in oily fish like sardines and salmon, as well as flaxseed and walnuts, have been linked to improved cognitive function and reduced

risk for certain diseases. Eating fish regularly is one way to get enough omega-3s. If you’re not a seafood fan, numerous types of fish oil capsules are available at drug stores. Avocados also boast omega-3s, as well as monounsaturated fat, which can help lower cholesterol and improve circulation. Avocado provides a rich flavor and texture perfect for nearly any sandwich, as well as dips, smoothies and even desserts. Antioxidant-rich blueberries are another mind-boosting addition to any diet. Considered a “super food,” these berries contain properties that have been linked to better brain health, improved motor skills and a sharper memory. To increase your berry intake, try a fruit salad for lunch or whip up a fresh berry sorbet for dessert. Nourish your nervous system Vitamin B12 is vital to your well-being. It can aid your body in producing red blood cells, properly developing nerve cells and preventing anemia. This vitamin can be found naturally in animal products, such as fish, meat and eggs. Steamed clams and lean beef are some of the best

sources of Vitamin B12. Those maintaining a vegan or vegetarian lifestyle should consider a supplement or foods specially fortified with B12, including certain breakfast cereals or soy products. Stay hydrated Water is essential for your body. It keeps you hydrated, regulates body temperature and flushes waste. As we age, our sense of thirst may not be as effective, causing some older adults to be dehydrated but not feel thirsty. The average adult requires six to eight glasses of water each day, so a good rule of thumb is to have one glass at each meal and at least one glass in between meals.

Health & Fitness How To Go Green at the Grocery Store While adopting an ecofriendly lifestyle might seem like a major commitment, many people find such an endeavor is far easier than they initially expected, as some relatively minor modifications here or there can make a substantial impact on the environment. One of the easiest ways to go green is to make more ecofriendly choices at the grocery store. Shopping for and preparing meals can be done in an eco-friendly way, and men and women will be happy to know they’re not only making changes that benefit the planet but their personal health as well. Here are some ideas for going green at the grocery store that do not require a big commitment. Begin in the produce aisle. When shopping for produce, stock up on plenty of organic fruits and vegetables, which are now readily avail-

able at many grocery stores. Stick to organic for the “dirty dozen” foods, those which are the most likely to have high levels of residual pesticides and herbicides. Even produce that is not labeled “organic” may be organic. To determine if it is, look at the sticker codes on the fruits and vegetables. A fourdigit code means it was conventionally grown, while five-digit codes starting with an eight indicate genetically modified food. A five-digit code starting with nine indicates the item is organic. While shopping, ask the produce manager if the store sells locally grown produce, and purchase only those products when they are available. Buy only what you need. Shoppers are often tempted to go from aisle to aisle, buying items they both need and don’t need. Caving in to such temptation can be wasteful unless items purchased have long shelf lives. Before visit-

Probiotics Beneficial for Both Mother and Baby According to recent studies, the use of probiotics by pregnant and nursing mothers can be beneficial for both mothers and their infants. Probiotics are friendly bacteria that help support the natural balance of microorganisms in the body. They inhibit the grown of harmful bacteria, promote good digestion, can bolster the immune system and also help to resist infection. “Probiotics are microorganisms that provide several health benefits, which is why taking them on a regular basis has so many advantages,” explained dietitian and nutritionist Annie Jolicoeur. “They have a beneficial effect on the mother’s intestinal flora as well as on the

infant’s developing flora. “A multi-strain probiotic supplement, such as Probaclac, can significantly reduce a woman’s risk of suffering from gestational diabetes,” she added. “Furthermore, it has been proven that probiotics can improve blood sugar levels.” Here is an overview of the results of several studies done to determine the benefits of probiotics. Pregnant women who take probiotics are less susceptible to preeclampsia, a condition characterized by high blood pressure along with an abnormal amount of protein in the urine. Women who have high blood pressure have a higher risk of miscarriage See PROBIOTICS page 21...

ing the store, make a shopping list and stick with it. Not only will you save money, but you will avoid throwing out spoiled foods as well. Purchase store-made items. If you’re looking for deli meats or bread for dinner, visit the stores’ bakeries, kitchens and delis, where employees cook foods right inside of the supermarket, a practice that cuts down on shipping of pre-made frozen foods produced elsewhere. Many stores carry their own homemade breads, cakes, doughnuts, dinner entrees, and sandwiches. Ask questions in the meat department. Don’t be shy about asking store butchers where the beef and chicken for sale comes from. If the meat and poultry is not locally raised and all-natural, look for alternatives in the store or shop elsewhere. Shop only the perimeter of the store. ...BORST from page 12 this ability to channel healing energy, I have found my bliss in helping others become the best they can be. I am thrilled that ‘The Dr. Pat Show’ will be introducing this to individuals throughout not only the United States but also globally who may be in need of physical or emotional healing,” says Borst. Borst has a unique process which enables her to get to the heart of issues causing both physical pain/illness and emotional distress. For more information or to contact Kristi Borst, visit www.HealingResonance4.Me.

Eco-friendly shoppers can focus on organic items, including produce, to decrease their carbon footprints.

Many stores stock dietary staples along the outer edges of the store. The interior bulk of the store contains packaged, processed foods that are not as eco-friendly. Buy in bulk whenever possible. Stock up on staples like toilet paper and other items. Bulk items are packaged together, which reduces the amount of packaging needed. Separate meat and poultry into smaller portion sizes at home before freezing.

Bring reusable tote bags. Even though many plastic shopping bags are made from recycled materials, many of these bags end up in the trash after use. Reusable cloth bags are more eco-friendly. Just be sure to wash them frequently so you clean them of any bacteria that may accumulate over time. This article was provided by MetroCreative.

~ News ~ ...SPIRIT from page 1 This year, Rescue member Laura Shaw coordinated the event. Since October she has been meeting with local businesses and civic groups about the event. She coordinated a community wrapping party held at the rescue station on Dec. 18. The Rescue Department sends many thanks to the 26 people who helped wrap the 1,000 gifts donated. A big thank you is also sent out to Kenny Automotive Sales and Services, Just Chevy Trucks, 4x4 Proving Grounds, Trains Quick Stop, Stokewoods Diner and Lebanon House of Pizza for serving as collection points for all the toys. At the last moment this year, the rescue officers were notified that they could not use the towns ambulances to bring Santa to all the houses, even though dozens of residents offered to pay all the gas and for wear and tear. This was after hundreds of children were already signed up. Business owner Ron Morin of Sugarloaf Ambulance / Rescue Vehicles stepped up and helped save Christmas fun by donating a brand new ambulance and

fuel for Santa to deliver the gifts in. Rescue members drove up to Wilton, Maine to take delivery of the brand new ambulance. Lebanon Selectman and Assistant Chief Jason Cole paid for all the gas and tolls to get the members up and back from Wilton. “It was important to the families and the children to keep this tradition going and thanks to the generosity of Ron Morin, we were able to once again deliver to every child that requested to see Santa.” Jason Cole added. The Lebanon Rescue Department Corporation would like to thank the many groups including the Southern Maine ATV Club and York County Trailriders, who donated a large amount of gifts, and all the other residents and businesses who donated gifts. “I would like to thank all of the volunteers who have spent the past three months doing all this work to make this successful,” said Shaw. “We were receiving cards and cookies from the kids whose eyes light up when they saw Santa show up in an ambulance. It truly is amazing and well worth the time spent coordinating the event. Christmas spirit is strong in Lebanon. Merry Christmas.”

South Berwick Police Department Collaborates to Launch Anonymous Tip Service SOUTH BERWICK The South Berwick Police Department announced recently the availability of SOBERTIP, a tool for youth and adults in South Berwick and Berwick to anonymously submit crime-related tips through the Web, a text message, or from any Android or iPhone mobile device. SOBERTIP is a collaborative effort of South Berwick and Berwick police departments, Marshwood High School and the Choose To Be Healthy Coalition to help prevent, reduce, and solve crime. The service has been funded as a pilot project for two years with funds from Choose To Be Healthy’s state and federal Drug Free Communities grants to support the enforcement of underage drinking and drug laws. The idea for a tip line for Marshwood High School came from SRO Officer Jeff Upton who works with the Choose To Be Healthy coalition to prevent and reduce youth substance abuse. “As much as we encourage parents and community members to let parents or the police know when they suspect incidents like

drug sales or underage drinking parties are going on, there are still many who feel uncomfortable making the call,” says Chief Lajoie of South Berwick. “We hope the anonymity of this service will help youth and adults feel more comfortable letting the police know a party or other potentially dangerous incident is being planned, or in progress.” To submit an anonymous tip: • Text “SOBERTIP” plus your tip to 274637 (CRIMES) or • Download the free “Tip Submit Mobile” app for iPhone or Android systems • Submit a tip online at the South Berwick Police page on southberwickmaine.org Tips are encrypted, so the sender’s identity is not known, and sent immediately to the South Berwick Police. The service is not for emergencies or urgent matters. “Roughly 57 percent of Maine High School students do not believe they would be caught by their parents drinking and 85 percent do not think they would

be caught by police. (from the 2011 Maine Integrated Youth Health Survey),” said Sally Manninen, Substance Abuse Prevention Coordinator of Choose to Be Healthy Coalition. “We want this tip line to change this belief - because teens who think adults are paying attention to them and care about what they do are less likely to drink and use drugs.” The two-year initiative cost the grants approximately $1,500. ...PANEL from page 11 credits to big businesses. The letter from House Democrats said, “We strongly urge you to focus on scaling back tax breaks for companies like Walmart and Rite Aid; breaks for big banks on portfolio management services; eliminating accounting tricks that allow large out-of-state firms – mostly oil and gas companies – to pay less in taxes; and to work to prohibit the use of offshore tax havens.” The budget panel will weigh recommendations from the commission in the upcoming legislative session next year.

Another Chance Animal Rescue

NORTH BERWICK Another Chance Animal Rescue has a mission to rescue pets in need. Without the support of the general public, we cannot fulfill our mission. It is to this end that we want to thank each and every one of you who, through your generosity, make it possible for us to assist those who need it the most, the loving companion animals who through no fault of their own end up homeless. We truly appreciate your dedication, caring and selflessness. We know that many cats, dogs, and pets of all kinds will have another chance to run and play with their human companions, whether they be reunited with their old friends or adopted to a new family. Their future and wellbeing is directly related to your heartfelt gratitude and generosity. We wish the happiest of holidays to you and yours from the Board of Directors, Volunteers and animals of Another Chance Animal Rescue. Wish List ACAR is asking for donations of dry and canned pet foods, scoopable kitty litter, cat and dog toys and treats as well as cleaning supplies, Staples or Walmart gift cards for office supplies, card stock paper, postage stamps and batteries. They are also accepting donations of gift certificates and items for raffles, advertising space in newspapers and sellable items for the Thrift Store. Donations may be dropped off at the thrift store during regular business hours. Any and all

Support For Life Our Support For Life program asks for the pledge of a $10 monthly donation. Your $10 combined with the monthly donations of others will help us meet our ongoing expenses and continue our work as a true No Kill organization. Please help us continue our mission to provide a safe environment and quality care for abandoned, abused, and lost pets.

Safe Haven Humane Society WELLS At Christmas time we look around at the blessings that surround us. Safe Haven Humane Society is still in our little cape, even though it’s been on the market for a year. We’re so thankful to still have a place to care for the animals. Eventually the building we are in will sell and when it does, we’ll need a new home. In 2014, our aim is to implement a strong capital campaign to help us be more financially prepared for moving and finding placement for our sanctuary kitties, our adoptable kitties, our rescue work and thrift shop. We’re developing a program that enables supporters to make monthly installments toward our next building. Different levels of giving will be marked by tribute bricks, memorial trees and memorial benches. There will be room-naming levels for those who wish to contribute large amounts toward our building fund. If you have land or a building to donate, naming rights are available as well. Safe Haven Humane Society has always been No Kill. We were incorporated in 2002 and evolved from a tiny grassroots group of people who were disenchanted by the failures of the existing area shelter system, and how it did not serve felines or the public. We agreed that Safe

Haven Humane Society would serve the animals and help the public, and we have never strayed from our mission. With our building on the market, some might say let’s just quit. But we all agree – there can be no quitting. The need is too great for what we do. There is no quitting! Instead, we see this as a sign not just to carry on, but to grow stronger. And we will. Shelters don’t go out at night during storms to rescue at-risk cats. Safe Haven does. Shelters don’t let cats with Feline Leukemia live in loving homes and pay for their medical needs for life. Safe Haven does. Safe Haven has never and will never put a time limit on a cat’s survival because of age, medical status, color or feral status. Shelters often do. It’s

Animal Welfare Society WEST KENNEBUNK AWS Reminds Everyone to License Their Dogs State animal-welfare officials estimate fewer than 40 percent of Maine dog owners license their pets, which robs the state and local towns of funding to enforce animal cruelty laws. Now is the time for dog owners to license their pets for the upcoming year. The deadline is Jan. 31, and late fees go into effect the next day. The $6 fee for spayed or neutered dogs and $11 for those that haven’t been altered are the lowest in New England. The Animal Welfare Society

wants to encourage everyone who has a dog, or dogs, to get them licensed for their sake and for the sake of all those who will be helped by state funding for animal welfare. Little Cat Before you ask, no, we don’t personally name every cat that comes to us. Many keep the names they have when they arrive at the shelter, while some are named by the loving foster families they spend time with before they go up for adoption. So, every now and then, we come across a darling animal with an unusual, sometimes embarrassing, name. That brings us to 12-year-old Little Cat. Not a terrible name by any means, but still quite a silly one. After all, Little Cat isn’t very little. Of course she is a cat, but it’s not like anyone needs to be reminded of that, especially

when she starts purring. Little Cat has one of those unique, sometimes highpitched, purrs that makes her sound like a wild animal or even reptile at times. And you’ll hear that purr a lot, as she starts her motor going with even the smallest amount of attention. Little Cat may be 12, but she’s got the loving personality of a kitten. You could spend hours just petting Little Cat as she rests by your side. She would make a great companion for just relaxing away a dreary day. She would prefer to live in a home without dogs, as they are too much for her to handle.

for these reasons we must keep going. But we need your support to do it. With the holidays here, we’re so thankful to all of you who have helped us get this far. Everyone who has contributed to us is a blessing. We believe that everyone who loves animals is in this together, Safe Haven is not ours – it’s for everyone who believes in animal rights and the No Kill movement. We hope that each of you have a blessed holiday season and that together in this new year we will make great strides toward finding a permanent home for Safe Haven. Stormy Stormy and her two kittens are safe now. They were rescued during a storm and brought into the Safe Haven foster program where they’ll be socialized and then offered for adoption. These kitties survived tough times in a barn. One kitten is still missing and we hope to catch her soon. Some people drop off cats at rural locations and expect the animals to survive just because there is a barn. Some actually think it’s not their problem, that dumping an animal somewhere relieves them of moral responsibility. In reality, kitties that are dumped can starve, be devoured by predators, run over by cars or farm machinery, or freeze to death. This mother cat, Stormy, and her two darling kittens will not have to be afraid anymore. Safe Haven will ensure they always have food, water, blankets and someone who loves them, and all the medical care and protection they deserve. Help us continue doing this work. Please become a volunteer, foster a cat in your home, donate, adopt. Help us raise funds, care for the cats, rescue and spread the word that the No Kill movement is stronger than ever – and growing stronger every year.

~ News ~ WHS Holds Substance Abuse Awareness Day

...AWS from page 20 ter. Being a Dwarf Mix, Bob will remain at a smaller size than most rabbits for life. That means he’ll forever look tiny,cute and simply adorable. Being so young, Bob has a long life ahead of him and would love to live it out in a new home with all the things a rabbit loves. Comfy habitat, lots of grass to munch on, toys to smack around, occasional treats, and lots of attention from his people will combine to make Bob a happy, happy bunny. Maddie and Emily Meet Maddie and Emily, an adorable pair of female Domestic Rats who would like to find a home together. These two gals are rather easy going and relaxed, needing only a cozy habitat with all the rat necessities to be happy. They’d love to get regular attention from their people too, even if they can be a bit nippy. Maddie and Emily would make welcome additions to just about any home.

WELLS Substance Abuse Awareness Day,known as Alcohol Awareness Day at many other Maine schools in December, was observed on Nov. 25 at Wells High School. Mr. Charles “Chucky” Rosa of Seabrook, N.H. was invited by WHS’s Nurse Patricia Endsley to visit the school and be the event’s guest speaker. Rosa, who offers workshops on several topics and speaks to students and youth groups about the hazards of substance abuse and avoidance of such, spoke in the morning at two hour-long sessions encompassing the entire student body about his life experiences with school and work and the loss of his two sons, Domenic and Vincent, to accidental drug overdoses. Before his talk, Mr. Rosa, who labels his mission “Chucky’s Fight,” showed a Fox news story about his life and work. On the video, he is shown emerging from one of his typical forays into the Atlantic Ocean, a daily ritual he maintains, even through the winter months.

After speaking, Rosa took questions from the audiences, met with staff in the school library between talks and stayed through lunch periods to meet and respond to more questions from students. Endsley, along with WHS staff Ms. Curcio, Mrs. Cotty and Mr. Ericson, helped facilitate these impromptu lunchtime question and answer periods. During his visit, Mr. Rosa offered to give any student a special “dog tag” to wear if they pledged

to avoid alcohol and drugs. “I would say 90 percent of the kids went up to receive a dog tag,” commented Endsley in an email. “They were asked to not use drugs, alcohol and to make good decisions. The dog tag is a symbol and reminder of that pledge.” “A day like this is very important when we have a speaker with a powerful message that the kids can relate to,” commented Endsley. “Many came up to me to

say how much Mr. Rosa’s message touched and influenced them.” When asked what he thought the most important message he wanted students to remember after hearing him speak, Rosa replied, “If you haven’t started (taking drugs, drinking alcohol), don’t. And if you have, get yourself straightened out. That’s what’s important.” Endsley also hopes to have Rosa back to speak to health classes and hopes to organize an “ocean plunge’ in the spring to coincide with the WHS triathlon.

Probiotic supplements taken by women who are pregnant or breastfeeding can reduce the incidence of infantile atopic dermatitis, or eczema. Furthermore, we know that infantile eczema is often associated with asthma and other types of allergies. Taking probiotics while breastfeeding also can reduce the risk of diarrhea. Probiotics also can help reduce the incidence of infant allergies, according to the results

of a recent study presented at the February 2013 American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology annual meeting in San Antonio, Texas. The results showed that children born to mothers who consumed probiotic lactobacilli during pregnancy had a 7 percent reduced risk for eczema at six months of age and a 12 percent reduced risk for hay fever at 18 to 36 months. More information and advice on probiotics is available at probaclac.ca.

...PROBIOTICS from page 21 and preterm delivery of a low birth weight or stillborn baby. Taking probiotics while pregnant can help fight yeast infections. Probiotic supplements taken by women who are pregnant or breastfeeding promote the development of the child’s immune system. Newborns whose mothers take probiotics while breastfeeding may be less susceptible to lactose intolerance.

SPORTS Billy McMillon to Manage Sea Dogs in 2014

PORTLAND The Boston Red Sox have announced the Portland Sea Dogs coaching staff for the 2014 season. Former Sea Dogs player Billy McMillon has been named the clubs new manager. McMillon replaces Kevin Boles who has been promoted to manage Triple-A Pawtucket in 2014. Hitting Coach Rich Gedman, Pitching Coach Bob Kipper and Athletic Trainer Brandon Henry will all return

to Portland. Ben Crockett, Boston’s Director of Player Development, made the announcement. McMillon will be the 11th manager in Sea Dogs franchise history. The 2014 season will be McMillon’s seventh season in the Red Sox organization and fifth as a minor league manager. The 42 year-old has a career managerial record of 299- 257 (.538). He managed the High-A Salem Red Sox in 2012 and 2013, leading Salem to the 2013 Carolina League Cham-

pionship. In 2010 and 2011, he managed the Low-A Greenville Drive and led the Drive to South Atlantic League Championship Series in his managerial debut in 2010. Prior to managing the Drive, he served two seasons as the Drive’s hitting coach from 2008-2009. McMillon spent parts of six seasons in the Major Leagues with the Florida Marlins (1996-1997), Philadelphia Phillies (1997), Detroit Tigers

(2000-2001), and Oakland Athletics (2001-2004) where he hit a career .248 in 269 games. The Florida Marlins drafted McMillon in the eighth round of the June 1993 draft. The outfielder spent the 1995 season with the Portland Sea Dogs where he appeared in 141 of the Sea Dogs 142 games that season. He hit .313 with 29 doubles, 14 home runs, 93 RBI, 15 stolen bases and walked a franchise record 96 times, earning a selection to

the Eastern League Year-End All-Star squad. His .423 career on base percentage with the Sea Dogs ranks second in franchise history behind Kevin Youkilis’ .487 mark. He collected 162 hits in 1995, which ranks second in franchise history for most hits in a single season, behind Kevin Millar’s record of 175 in 1997. McMillon earned a B.A. from Clemson University and a MBA from the University of Phoenix. He lives in Columbia, South Carolina with his wife and two children.

A late surge saw Berwick cut the lead to four points with 40 seconds to go, but the Lady Bulldogs could not complete the comeback this time.

Yorke Realty Donates Thousands to Local Charities YORK Coldwell Banker Yorke Realty recently presented a check for $1,000 each, to The Table of Plenty and the York Community Service Association, two local charities. Proceeds were raised at the 29th Annual Harvestfest in October, where brokers from Yorke Realty sold hot dogs and popcorn throughout the day to visitors of all ages. Each year at Harvestfest, Coldwell Banker Yorke Realty selects a non-profit group to donate 100 percent of the proceeds to, and this year they decided to share the funds between the two organizations who rely on private donations and volunteer support to sustain themselves and offer the much needed local assistance. All the food product was donated

by Favorite Foods and the hot dog cart was provided and operated by Mike Watts. “Our organization is very grateful for this generous donation from Yorke Realty. It really makes a difference this time of year,especially to all the families we assist in York during the holiday season,” said Michelle Surdoval, family service director of York Community Service Association. The YSCA provides general assistance to low income families and individuals living in York. Services include fuel and clothing assistance, food vouchers, medical equipment and emergency funds to help with utilities and rent. The Table of Plenty is a free community kitchen with a staff of volunteers who provide meals

Shop Maine Corp Launches New Website KITTERY Shop Maine Corp launched its E-commerce site, ShopMaineProducts.com, on Dec. 10. Their vision is to create a site that will have the largest on-line selection of the best Maine specialty products. They have a bold mission, and know that having all of these high quality items in one location gives their customers, where ever they live, direct access to artisans, crafts people, bakers, farmers, lobstermen and women, and all Maine has to offer. “I lived out of State for a few years and often craved a taste of home and struggled to find a place that had it all,”

said David D’Auteuil, president of Shot Maine Corporation. “I know that a lot of great Maine products cannot be found at your larger stores, but only at craft fairs, farmers markets, seafood markets and in local shops in the state. I am thankful to be back in Maine and building this marketplace so that we can showcase the excellent products that Maine has to offer.” ShopMaineProducts.com has a broad range of products that includes jams, jellies, condiments, BBQ sauces, whoopie pies, dry rubs, gift baskets, candies, toffee, baked goods, granola, maple products,and the iconic Maine Lobster. All of their prod-

ucts can be shipped anywhere in the USA. “This is just the start. We will be adding to our assortment daily. From the volume of orders we’ve received since the launch; it is clear that Maine has a strong reputation for quality goods. In just a few days we have shipped to over 21 different States” said D’Auteuil. Shop Maine Corporation is operated by the D’Auteuil family and headquartered in the coastal town of Kittery. Their company goal, like the true Maine spirit, is simple. It states, “If we don’t have it and you are craving it, call us and we will do our best to locate it for you.”

SANFORD On Tuesday Dec. 10, a group of lucky members from the culinary group that attend Waban’s Life Works Program in Springvale were treated to a special hands-on demonstration at Heidi’s Heavenly Pot Pies on Emery Street in Sanford. Owners Vic and Heidi Maurais demonstrated the fine art of creating a chicken pot pie and each future chef had the opportunity to make either a chicken or chicken vegetable pot pie of their own. One Life Works attendee, Lynn MacKeen, especially enjoyed making her own pot pie. “That’s one good pie.” said MacKeen, who is employed by

~ Ask The Computer Lady ~

Dear Computer Lady, My printer has broken down and I am getting a new one. I have read that discarded printers have a memory that could be accessed by whoever got ahold of it and knew how to do it, and that memory could contain personal or financial information. Can you tell me if this is true, and if so, can you tell me if there is a way to eliminate the printer memory before I discard it? Thank you for your help. I’ve been a reader of your newsletter for many years now and always find something of interest. Pat

formation stored in your printer would be gone forever once you have erased it. The only exception would be higher end office printers that come with a hard drive. If the printer has a hard drive (which can hold information while powered off) then there is a chance that there could be images of some of your printed documents on the drive. If you don’t know if your printer has a hard drive or not, then it probably doesn’t. You would have paid quite a bit extra for a printer with a hard drive. Elizabeth

Dear Pat, Almost all printers have only RAM memory, which can only hold information while the device is powered on. This means that any in-

Dear Computer Lady, I recently bought a new HP Desktop computer to replace my old HP. My old computer had pin connectors on the mouse and

keyboard, while the new one has a different type of connector making my old mouse and keyboard useless. My question is do they have an adapter to go from the pin to the new connector? I am 78-years old and not to computer smart, but I read your post all the time and thought if anybody knows, you would . Thank you for any help you can give me, Al Dear Al, The short answer to your question is, “no”. You will have to purchase a new keyboard and mouse for your new computer. There are adapters that convert ps2 connectors (the round ones with pins) to USB (which is what your new computer uses), however, those only work with a mouse and/or keyboard that is made to support both the PS2 and USB interface. Since your old mouse and keyboard probably don’t support both interfaces, they won’t work with the adapters. Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, When I used Windows XP years ago I learned how to “TILE,” which is to place two photographs side-by-side or one above the other on the computer screen. It was very handy to compare two similar photos of the same scene or object to decide which “shot” was the best to keep.

Now that I have Windows 7, I don’t know how to accomplish that procedure. Can you give me the steps to perform for this operation? Steve Dear Steve, In Windows 7, you can tile two windows side-by-side quite easily. Using your mouse, drag the title bar of one window to the left side of your screen. When the cursor hits the edge of the screen, the window will automatically fill just the left half of your desktop. Next, drag the other window to the right edge of your screen. Again, when the cursor touches the right edge, the window will automatically fill just the right half of your desktop. Have fun comparing your photos. Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, I just bought a computer a few months ago with Windows 8. Would it be wise to update it to Windows 8.1? Thanks, Brenda Dear Brenda, Actually, your computer might have already updated itself to Windows 8. 1. I checked my computer after reading your email, and found that it was already running Windows 8.1. It had updated itself without any help from me. If your computer hasn’t

already updated itself, it would probably be wise to update it manually. First, to check if your computer has the update or not, you need to go to the control panel. Tap the Windows logo key on your keyboard, and type “Control Panel”. Click on the link to the “Control Panel,” then click on “System and Security”. Click on “System”. A Window will be displayed that shows you information about your computer. In the top section, it will show you what version of Windows you are running. Check to see if it says Windows 8 or Windows 8.1. If your computer isn’t running 8.1 yet, you can easily install the update yourself. Here is how: Tap the Windows logo key on your keyboard, and type “Windows Update”. Click on the link to the “Windows Update,” then click “Check For Updates”. Click the, “Install Updates” button to install the update. Elizabeth Interested in learning more? Elizabeth has answered thousands of computer questions over the years.

~ News ~ Kennebunk School District Recognized for Excellence in AP Programs fully identifying motivated, academically prepared students who are likely to benefit from rigorous AP course work. Since 2011, RSU 21 has increased the number of students participating in AP by 16 percent, while maintaining a performance level at which more than 70 percent of its AP students are scoring a three or higher. Currently, 70 percent of KHS students take either an AP, IB (International Baccalaureate),

or Early College class prior to graduation. “KHS has open enrollment for AP classes and provides online courses through AP4ALL, “ says Bruce Lewia, AP Coordinator. “In 2011, 88 students took 145 AP exams, while in 2013, 117 students took 192 AP exams. AP courses are offered in Calculus AB and BC, Statistics, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, English Language, English Literature, Eu-

ropean History, U.S. History, and U.S. Government and Politics.” Ryan Keefe, a senior at Kennebunk High School expressed his desire to take AP classes because of the fast pace, group discussions, and the challenge. “You have to be motivated and self disciplined. I like the structure of AP classes also. The more work effort you put into these classes, the better the reward,” Keefe said. “Classes start

with a broad question posed by the instructor, then a student led discussion takes place. If you haven’t prepared yourself for class then it’s very difficult to take part in the discussion.” “We applaud the extraordinary efforts of the devoted teachers and administrators in this district who are offering more students the opportunity to engage in rigorous college-level course work,” said Trevor Packer, the College Board’s senior vice president of AP and Instruction.
