OGUNQUIT -Google has announced that

Ogunquit has been named the 2015 eCity of Maine. The eCity Awards recognize the strongest online business community in each state - the digital capitals of America. These cities business-es are embracing the web to find new customers, connect with ex-isting clients and fuel their local economies.

Were proud to recognize this growing entrepreneurial-spiritand the role that it plays

in both creating jobs and sustain-ing local economies, said Emily Harris, Marketing Manager for Googles Lets Put Our Cities on the Map Program. With 97-percent of Internet-users look-ing for products and services online, its clear that success is about being connected.

The Google ECity Award confirms that the small Town of Ogunquit is a tremendous contributor to Maines Business economy. We are very proud of this accolade and recognition.

Thomas Fortier, Town ManagerGoogle worked with an in-

dependent research firm IPSOS to analyze the online strength of local small businesses in cities in all fifty states and the Google and Ogunquit is among the ranks of Americas leading cities in the digital economy.

Ogunquit businesses al-ready know that Americans are turning to the Internet to look for local goods and services. Busi-

SOUTH BERWICK -Skiing History is a very col-

orful part of the Maine Heritage, and Scott Andrews, a Weekly Sentinel newspaper contributor, will be regaling audiences with his presentation on Ski History at a Fireside Chat at the South Berwick Library on Wednesday, January 20 at 7 p.m.

Long before spectators thrilled to the aerial somersaults of snowboarders doing a triple cork on the half pipe, ski jump-ing was a highly prized event at winter carnivals in Maine. The gentleman pictured, losing his

STATEWIDE Department of Inland

Fisheries and Wildlife biologists in northern Aroostook County recently finished capturing and radio-collaring moose in a new northern study area as part of Maines five-year moose study that will provide a greater under-standing of the health of Maines moose population, particularly factors that affect their survival and reproductive rates, includ-ing the impact of winter ticks on

moose.Maines moose occupy

a variety of habitat across their range in the state. By adding a second study area to the north we can bolster our study and get a better understanding of moose survival and reproductive rates, and the factors that impact them, said Lee Kantar, Maines moose biologist.

Biologists and a helicopter-based aerial capture team will capture and collar 106 adult female and calf moose. They just completed capturing and collar-ing 70 moose in the Aroostook study area, and now will capture and collar an additional 36 calf moose in the existing study area located between Jackman and

Greenville. There already are over 40 collared moose in the Jackman/Greenville study area. When finished, IFW biologists will be able to monitor 150 total moose in the two study areas.

IFW has contracted with Native Range Capture Services out of Elko, Nevada to capture 106 moose. The crew specializes in capturing and collaring large animals and is using a helicop-ter and launched nets to capture and collar female moose and calves. Funding for the study comes from a federal Pittman-Robertson grant (funded by the sale of hunting equipment) and the states dedicated moose fund

ALFRED - York County Senior Col-

leges Winter 2016 Gary Sullivan Memorial Lecture Series com-mences January 20 with a his-torical lens, with February and March lectures examining aging and writing.

Bitter partisanship, fiercely contested primaries, maverick candidates disrupting establish-ment politics this years elec-tion? But these characteristics also aptly describe a transfor-mational campaign over a cen-tury ago. This lecture will ex-plore how this contest impacted politics throughout the 20th and early 21st centuries and how contemporary campaigns share its characteristics. Delivered by returning lecturer Dr. John Sutherland, Professor of History Emeritus at Manchester (Conn.) Community College, this kick-off to the series takes place Wednesday, January 20, from 9:3011:30 a.m.

The afternoon speaker is Sue Lewey Hamilton, Coordi-nator, Multicultural Student Af-

KENNEBUNK -Want to be healthy? Then

eat healthy. That's the thesis of "PlantPure Nation," a docu-mentary film to be presented

by the Sierra Club of Maine at 7 p.m., Friday, January 22, at the First Parish Unitarian Universalist Church (FPUU), 114 Main Street, Kennebunk. Admission is free and open to the public. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m.

"PlantPure Nation" is the brainchild of renowned nutri-tional scientist and best-selling author Dr. T. Colin Campbell and his son, Nelson. In his groundbreaking 2004 book, The China Study, Dr. Camp-bell detailed the weight of sci-entific evidence that a whole foods plant-based diet can pre-vent and even reverse some of the most deadly health condi-tions such as heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, and even some forms of cancer.

In 2011, Dr. Campbell and Dr. Caldwell Esselstyne presented their research on the benefits of plant-based nutri-tion to the State Legislature of Kentucky, which has one of the highest levels of child-hood obesity in the country. After state Representative Tom Riner introduced a pilot program bill to document the health benefits of a plant-based diet, the bill itself was watered down, and Riner said, went "from steel to Reynolds Wrap."

PlantPure Nation ex-plores the topical issues of the small family farm, food des-erts, modern medicine, and the challenges of getting plant-based nutrition included in the political process.

The filmmakers hope to use PlantPure Nation to create a broad, grassroots movement. These are local grass roots net-works that mirror the Climate Action Teams of the Ken-nebunks (CAT). Discussion following the film. For more information: www.sierraclub.org/maine.

fairs & Native American Waiver and Educational Program at the University of Southern Maine. Sue will talk frankly from a his-torical point of view about what is happening in Indian Country today. She will deal with such common attitudes as: Its just those Indians wanting every-thing given to them; What? In-dians are still around? There are native people in Maine?

The Gary Sullivan Memo-rial Lecture Series, featuring morning and afternoon speak-ers, offers a variety of topics of interest. Subsequent sessions will take place February 17 and March 16. The February morn-ing installment features Jo Dill and Kate Putnam, both from the southern Maine Agency on Aging, teaming up to share in-formation about aging through sports, resources for aging well and getting older. In the after-noon Sally Tatre, director of A Place to Start, will moderate

History professor Dr. John Suther-land will lecture on politics through the 20th and early 21st centuries at York County Senior College.

YORK COUNTY Join Great Works Regional

Land Trust (GWRLT) out on the trails this winter, our 30th anni-versary year! What better way to celebrate the conservation organizations 30 years of work than to enjoy the landscapes that have been protected? Two new Wednesday Wanderings are being offered along with five Saturday returning classic hikes.

Starting off this years winter hike series, sponsored by Jewelers Outlet of Sanford, is a ski/snowshoe trek along the Salmon Falls River in Berwick on January 23, 10 a.m.-noon. Explore Great Works Tucka-hoe Preserve, 140 acres between Hubbard Road and the Salmon

Falls River, offering a level, easy glide for ski touring and explo-ration of the forested riverbank. Berwick board member Michael Wright will lead the group. January 30, 10 a.m.-noon, Bill Spiller will lead a snowshoe trek

through the fields, woods, and orchards of his 130-acre Spiller Farm in Wells, which is in the process of being protected by conservation easement.

Begin February with an outing at Orris Falls Conserva-

tion Area in South Berwick, February 6, 10 a.m.-1 p.m. When the beaver marsh is frozen solid, the landscape offers hikers opens views that are obscured in warmer weather. Expect to visit the Big Bump, Orris Falls, and Bakers Oven, some of the Wonders of Tatnic. As time and interest allow, the tour may extend to Balancing Rock and Tatnic Ledges. Board president Tin Smith of Wells will lead. On Saturday, February 13, 10 a.m.-noon, join Great Works member Jay Meyer for a ski tour of Backfields Farm in Eliot. Jay and his wife, Michele, have cre-ated a beautiful and fun cross-country trail network through their fields, hills, and woods. This outing is for skiers only and some experience is necessary.

Keep your fingers crossed that conditions will be good for the annual Beaver Dam Heath ski/snowshoe on February 20, 10 a.m.-noon. Winter is really the only time to venture onto the wetlands of the Heath. On your own, check out Grants Meadow Preserve in the forested uplands of the Heath, boasting a -mile loop trail that is accessible year-round. The parking area for both is on Diamond Hill Road, just south of Old Sanford Road.

Two new offerings this year are Wednesday Wanderings. First is a snowshoe through the Kimball North Farm Preserve

on January 27, 10 a.m.-noon. Located just off of Ogunquit/Berwick Road in South Berwick, this 37-acre preserve next to the Hilton-Winn Farm has a newly established trail, granite outcrop-pings, old stone walls, and views of the Ogunquit River. Febru-ary 10, 10 a.m.-noon, snowshoe or ski Tatnic Woods, off Tatnic Road in Wells. Explore the gently rolling terrain of this 70-acre wooded preserve in an area rich in vernal pools.

Great Works Regional Land Trust is a non-profit orga-nization founded in 1986 to pro-vide conservation options to the landowners of Eliot, South Ber-wick, Berwick, North Berwick, Ogunquit & Wells. The Land Trust is committed to saving the best of our region by protecting working landscapes and wildlife lands for current and future gen-erations.

Space on hikes is limited to 25 people so reservations are required. Please call the Great Works office at 207-646-3604 or email [email protected] to reserve your place. Anyone interested in joining any of these hikes is en-couraged to visit the website at www.gwrlt.org or call the office for more information. All hikes are open to the public and free of charge to Land Trust members. A $5 donation per person or $10 donation per family is suggested for non-members.

should be enrolled in a qualified party (Democrat-Republican). The work of Election Officials is extremely important and re-quires diligence as well as pa-tience. These officials hold office for 2 years and may be asked to work any or all elections in that time period. Hours can range from a full election day to a shift of a few hours.

Lebanon has had a wonder-ful crew in the past and we hope to see some of those individuals back. However, there are vacant seats that need to be filled. Inter-ested parties are asked to submit a request for appointment to the Board of Selectmen or the Town Clerk on or before April 1 2016. Our first Election of 2016 will be the Town Election with a Select-man seat up for grabs along with other vacancies. For more infor-mation, visit www.lebanon-me.org/node/2021.

(funded through sale of moose permit applications and per-mits).

Once the moose is cap-tured, the crew attaches a GPS collar and ear tags, collects a blood, hair and fecal sample, takes a tick count and weighs the animal, said Lee Kantar, The entire process takes between 10 and 12 minutes and then the

moose is released unharmed.Crews started capturing

and collaring moose last week and finished in the northern study area yesterday. They start-ed flying in the western study area today. Once Native Range finishes in Maine, they will travel to a similar job in New Hampshire. New Hampshire is conducting a study similar to Maine, in an area further south than the two Maine study areas. The two states are sharing in-formation gathered during the study.

Once collared, the GPS-en-abled collars transmit twice per day, providing biologists the abil-ity to track moose movements. The GPS collars are expected to transmit location signals for four years. If there is no move-ment for a certain period of time, the collar transmits a mortality signal, and biologists will then travel overland to investigate the cause of death.

Once we receive a mor-

tality signal, we locate the dead moose within 24 hours, said Kantar. Biologists conduct an extensive field necropsy on each moose, taking blood, tissue and fecal samples that will later be analyzed by the University of Maine-Animal Health Lab as well as other specialized diag-nostic facilities,.

This is the third year of the monitoring study. Additional moose and calves will be cap-tured and collared next year.

The radio collar study is just one component of the re-search that IFW conducts on moose.

IFW also utilizes aerial flights to assess population abundance and the composition of the moose herd. During the moose hunting season, biologists also examine teeth to determine a mooses age, measure antler spread, monitor the number of ticks a moose carries, and exam-ine cow ovaries in November to determine reproductive rates.

A fascinating is of The Big A, a long lost ski hill at the end of the Agamenticus Road in York. The Big A opened in De-cember 1964 and ran for 9 sea-sons before it met its untimely demise. Eventually purchased by the town of York, the moun-tains old ski trails now serve hikers and bikers, picnickers and bird watchers. The old Ski Lodge is now home to the Con-servation Center and a Learning Center that is open to the public open from May to October.

Ski Jumping is still alive and well in New Hampshire. New Hampshire in the only state where ski jumping remains a a sanctioned High School

sport. There are seven schools that actively compete each winter. The town of Plymouth recently raised 60,000 to rebuild their crumbling 1980 Ski Jump with a new one that just finished construction this past Decem-ber. There are 18 members of the Plymouth Ski Team that are anxiously awaiting enough snow to begin taking flight on their new run.

ground and the light-saturated landscape in the background re-veals Homers aesthetic experi-mentation at a crucial moment in his career, and his close ob-servation of such European old masters as Johannes Vermeer.

In addition to the PMAs Winslow Homer Studio in Prouts Neck, the museum has exceptional strength in its holdings of Homers work. An Open Window fills an im-portant gap, as it is the first oil painting in the collection from this particular decade, and therefore bridges the PMAs col-lection of early Homer oil paint-ings. The painting is a partial gift from an anonymous family with deep roots in Maine, and a partial purchase with funds from an anonymous founda-tion.

An Open Window rep-resents a moment in Homers career after the Civil War, but before his time in England, ex-plained Jessica May, the PMAs Chief Curator. Its a transfor-mative addition to the PMAs Homer collection, both in terms of period and subject matter. One of the most exciting aspects of this acquisition is that the painting itself is virtually un-

known to contemporary view-ers, as it has not been on view to the public since 1938.

In addition, the PMA has acquired River Cove, a 1958 tempera painting by Andrew Wyeth that is regularly identi-fied by art historians as among his most important and impres-sive artworks. Andrew Wyeth, the son of American painter N.C. Wyeth and the father of artist Jamie Wyeth, cited Win-slow Homer as an influence, and used both watercolors and tempera to create what he called Homeric landscapes.

The painting of a small jetty outside the artists home in Cushing, is devoid of human presence, yet includes subtle indication of the presence of birds and aquatic life. Its most extraordinary feature is its near-inversion of landscape imagery: the majority of the peaceful landscape view appears upside down, with the forest reflected in calm waters. The painting, which has been on view at the PMA regularly since 1992 and has been loaned to many major exhibitions of Wyeths work, was donated by David Rock-efeller in memory of his son, Richard Rockefeller, who lived

recently featured its 3rd annual A Winter Fable. According to Assistant Principal Ken Spin-ney, who played a spin-off of the character, Charlie Brown", the 40-minute production was a dramatization and celebration of one of the schools core values, compassion. Spinney says it also reinforces an understanding and appreciation for others at this holiday time. The fable fea-tured a blend of staff and student characters, as well as the entire student body joining together in song. In the photo from left

to right, bottom row, are stu-dents Nolan Brown and Molly Tavares. In the middle (l to r) is teacher Pam Lear, Principal Marianne Horne, Asst. Princi-pal Ken Spinney, student Nolan Mottor, teachers Henry Ingwers-en, Donna Longley and Special Education teacher Eric Hopkins.

We are incredibly hon-ored and grateful to David Rockefeller for his generous gift and his acknowledgment of the PMA as a fitting place to honor his sons memory, said PMA Director Mark Bessire.

The public is invited to an Artist Reception with refresh-ments on Wednesday, Febru-ary 3 at 5:30 p.m. Come hear the artist talk about the works and his process.

SOUTH BERWICK - A Gateless Garden:

Quotes by Maine Women Writ-ers is on display at the Sarah Orne Jewett Visitor Center, 5 Portland Street, South Berwick, now through May 22.

The exhibition, edited by Dr. Liza Bakewell, director of Maine Women Write, pairs quotations from work by Maine women writers with black and white images by photographer Kerry Michaels. The photos tell a story and when paired with quotes, celebrate the essence of place, womens lives, and the singular world that is Maine.

Maine has been home to great women authors who have influenced the outcome of the Civil War, mobilized womens political and domestic rights, and powered the creation of the U.S. Environmental Protec-tion Agency. They have upset

excited to be back in the US. said Miss Kahler, Even though I love working in Europe, it is wonderful to come home.

Although Kahler just fin-ished her post-masters perfor-mance degree at the end of this school year, she is already gain-ing recognition in the opera world and her upcoming engage-ments include a concert tour of Japan. Despite her schedule, Olivia made sure to set aside time for a concert here at the Star Theater. She will be singing a collection of well-loved opera arias accompanied by Boston based pianist Lindsay Albert. Selections include arias from La Bohme, La Traviata, and Die Zauberflte (The Magic Flute). Community support has been strong for the show. I have been so touched by the support I've received since I have been back - especially from several local businesses, Kahler said.

Kahlers concert, An Af-

ternoon at the the Opera, is on January 17 at 3 p.m. at the Star Theater in Kitterys Commu-nity Center, 120 Rogers Road, Kittery. Tickets are 20/advance, $25/door. For additional infor-mation and ticket reservations: www.oliviakahler.com.

the status quo again and again and many of them have made this world a better place. Most of the women writers repre-sented in the exhibit lived in Maine - Sarah Orne Jewett and Kate Barnes - for the entire lives. Others passed through or settled in Maine from elsewhere - Louise Bogans Maine child-hood seeded her poetry and feminism of later years. May Sarton retired to Maine where she wrote some of her most celebrated works. Louise Dick-inson Rich moved to Maine as an adult, where she developed a passion for the land and began a distinguished career as a writer. For more than two hun-dred years Maine has inspired women to write.

Kittery Point, he enrolled in a number of local art courses and workshops.

For the first time I also began to paint on my own,

says Fellows. However, through the combined efforts of Dewitt Hardy, Norman West, Sean Beavers, David Dewey and others, at Sanctuary Arts in Eliot, The Heartwood Col-lege of Art in Kennebunk, and numerous workshops in the Seacoast area and elsewhere in Maine, my painting eventu-ally progressed to a level that at least was not embarrassing to me, my family or my teachers. I will always be indebted to the local artists whose instruction was both sound and inspira-tional.

His works are a blend of whatever interests him at the time. I switch from outdoor landscapes to portraits to in-terior-scapes to old magazine covers. Fellows continues, Painting is pure pleasure for me and thats why I do it.

Fellows has had recent showings at the Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia and

the Caf Art Gallery at York Hospital. His works are com-monly a part of Kittery Art Association group shows as well. ME Paintings: Kittery to Stonington will be shown in the Morgan Gallery through March.

The Morgan Gallery, at the Kittery Community Center at Frisbee Common, is made possible through a gen-erous donation by the Morgan Family of Kittery. The gallery space is prominently located by the STAR THEATRE and provides a new venue for show-casing works by visual artists. The KCC Arts and Culture Committee are responsible for curating the programming and schedules an ongoing series of art exhibits to showcase visual artists. Professional artists are encouraged to submit works for review for future exhibits. All works are reviewed and juried by a sub-committee of the Arts and Culture committee.

ROLLINSFORD, NH The Gallery at Black Bean

Cafe, 76 Front Street in Rollins-ford, is hosting an exhibit called From Chaos to Serenity: Two Minds Talking - works in sev-eral media by Berwick artists Joanne F. Desmond and Ross Alan Bachelder for the month of January 2016 during regular business hours.

Mixed media artist Joanne F. Desmond has earned a BA in Art from the University of Massachusetts in Boston, with a concentration in printmaking and photography; a Master of Education in Arts and Learning from Endicott College in Beverly; and a Master of Fine Arts from Mass College of Art & Design in Boston. She is a member of New England Wax, the Mono-print Guild of New England, the Brickbottom Artists Association, and the Newburyport Art Asso-ciation.

I find myself continually curious about the relationship between memory and emotion as connected with the sensitivities of time, place, and familial at-tachment, says Desmond. The notion of hiding, covering-up, obscuring the truththe reality of who we really are at any given moment in timehas always in-trigued me. Discovering what lies beneath the surface of someone or something is what I pursue.

Artist, writer, and musician Ross Alan Bachelder has been exhibiting his playful drawings, paintings, found object assem-blages and photographs in galler-ies in Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts for more than twenty years. Hes also been active for many years as a musi-cian, performing solo recitals,

KENNEBUNK The Kennebunk Free Li-

brary announces its January 2016 exhibition Keepsakes by Kate the acrylic works of Kate Banks. The public is invited to view the exhibit during regular Library hours when the gallery is not in use for library programs

Keepsakes by Kate remind you that art is suitable for the soul. It was launched in March of 2014 on Facebook with only nine paintings. There are now over 60. Kate was born with a deformity and dysplasia of the left hip. The artist behind this exhibit is a young inspiring indi-vidual from Maine, who because of her disability has always been an artist. Kate Banks strives to give back to the community by producing a variety of work that she hopes will remind people to smile among the chaos of the world.

Throughout her childhood, Kate was frequently in a body cast where she gained a passion for art at a very young age. At age 5 she had her first correc-tive surgery performed at Boston Childrens Hospital. A severe re-action to the anesthesia left her in a coma for 22 days. She awoke as if nothing had happened causing the hospital to declare her a mir-acle child. In 2013 Kate received a total hip replacement, strength-ening her and inspiring her to do what makes her happy. Unfor-tunately she struggles with new medical obstacles but spreading joy with her art is what keeps Kate going. Life passes by so fast and if Keepsakes by Kate brings you a smile, then Kate is successful.

As a 2005 graduate, Kate pursued her art goals by attend-ing Ringling College of Art and Design in Sarasota Florida, Maine College of Art, and then graduating from the Univer-sity of New England earning her Bachelors in History with a Minor in Art. Kate is a member of the National History Honor Society.

The public is invited to attend a free artists reception on Monday, January 11, 5:30-7:30 p.m. The Kennebunk Free Library is pleased and honored to be able to present the works of this talented artist.

Dear Computer Lady,You are so smart and

maybe you can advise me what to do. I have an old computer that died some years ago. There are some Autocad drawings that I would like to salvage on an external drive. The problem is that my monitor is not getting any signal from the computer, so I cannot see anything on the screen. Is there anything I can do or just redraw my work from scratch? At the end I will get rid of the computer after I remove the hard drive. Thanks a lot. Sin-cerely, Roumiana

Dear Roumiana,After reading your ques-

tion, I was not sure if your draw-ings are on an external drive, or if you want to get them off the old computer and onto an exter-nal drive. If they are on an exter-

nal drive, then the best solution would be to hook the drive up to a working computer. If your autocad drawings are on the old computer that is no longer work-ing, the hard drive will need to be removed and the files salvaged from the drive. This is something that I have the equipment for, and do quite often in my shop. Your best bet (If you don't live close enough to bring it in to my shop) is to find your local com-puter repair shop and have them save the files to your external drive. Elizabeth

Dear Computer Lady,Thanks for all the work

you do for us old folks. I down-loaded Windows 10 on my com-puter running Windows 7. I do not have the search window. Windows 10 states to use the Windows key and it will appear.

Not on my computer. Also lost my Free Cell, I can use another download so this is no big prob-lem. I just liked the old one it better than what I find on line now. Jack

Dear Jack,There are several ways to

search in Windows 10, some are more obvious than others. When you tap the windows logo key on your keyboard, the start menu will appear, and while there is no visible search box, if you just start typing the name of what you are looking for, Windows 10 will start searching as you type. This is my favorite way to search, and it works in Windows 7-10. In Windows 10, the start button is a white windows logo flag usu-ally located at the left edge of the taskbar. First, right next to the start button is a magnifying glass

icon. Click on that icon to access Cortana, the new Windows 10 search app. You can customize Cortana to help you with search-ing and reminders, or you can just search in the box that says, "Search the web and Windows". You can also access the Cor-tana search when you right-click on the start button and click on "Search" in the context menu that appears. If you are looking for a file, just open Windows ex-plorer and navigate to the folder where you think the file is lo-cated, for example, Documents. In Windows Explorer, there is a search box in the upper-right part of the window. I hope this helps with your searching. Elizabeth

Dear Computer Lady,Thank you so much for

taking the time and trouble to help all of us out. I really appre-

...HONORS from page 8

Electronic devices enable us to access information, com-municate and engage in enter-tainment. Consumer electronics also have transformed the typical household.

Data from the Consumer Electronics Association, CTIA and U.S. Census Bureau paint a picture of just how immersed in new technology society has become. Statistics indicate the typical home of 2.6 people has an average of 24 electronic gad-gets in use, including one or more smartphones. These devices in-clude eReaders, HDTVs, laptops, tablets, printers, digital cameras, DVRs, Bluetooth speakers, por-table GPS devices, and more.

To meet the demands of all of these devices, some homes need an electronics overhaul, in-cluding beefing up the capabili-ties of Internet connections and wireless networks. Many Wi-Fi routers claim to be capable of sup-porting as many as 255 connect-ed devices. While this is theoreti-cally possible, having that many devices on a standard home wireless router can compromise

how well a network works. The results may include slow Internet browsing abilities, long lag time and even connection interference or droppage. When considering renovation projects around the home, it may be worth it to pay attention to electronic devices and their connectivity.

Start with the routerThe wireless router in your

home is a technological work-horse. When the router goes down, your devices follow suit. Without a router you will not be able to access the digital signal from your Internet Service Pro-vider and send it out to all of your devices.

Many older routers broad-cast on a 2.4GHz signal, the same as many other radio de-vices. Crowding on the 2.4GHz spectrum could cause slowdown during the busiest times of the day for Internet traffic. It may be worth it to invest in a new router that can search for other chan-nels that have less traffic and broadcast through them.

Test your speed

Relatively inexpensive soft-ware can show you your Inter-net speed numbers to see if your connection is meeting the speeds promised by your ISP. If your speed is slow when tested at vari-ous times in a given day, you may want to upgrade your service package to a faster service plan. If the speed is adequate, you can invest in some other options.

Get new hardwareRouters should be placed

in a central location so that the signal can be accessed through-out the house. But router place-ment may depend on where your cable or fiber optic lines enter the home. If router signal interference seems suspect in slower connections, hardware, such as a greater-range antenna, wireless access points, and wire-less repeaters can help expand your router signal throughout the house. Speak with a wireless network expert about the options that may be best for your home. Another consideration is a Wi-Fi plug that uses existing electrical circuits in a home to expand the signals offered by the router.

Expand your gadget listOnce a wireless signal is

verified and confirmed as ad-equate, you may be interested in additional devices that can tap into the wireless network and make your home run more effi-ciently. Manufacturers now offer everything from wireless door locks that can be controlled with a smartphone to wireless flash memory cards that can easily transfer photos from a camera to computer to wireless lighting control throughout the entire house. With wireless speakers, you can instantly beam music to any number of units in a home or use a NAS (network attached storage) drive as a backup for photos, videos and other large files.

Technology is changing the way people utilize their homes. Making sure a wireless network is up to par can make using de-vices easier and more efficient.

ciate it. When I reboot my com-puter, (which is not often) this message always comes up and Im not sure if it is something I should worry about: wweb32.exe system error wwweb32.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling to fix this problem. I have no idea what it is or if I need it?? Thanks so much for your help. Toby

Dear Toby,Those two files belong to a

free dictionary program called Word Web, available at: http://wordweb.info/free/. My guess is that it has somehow become cor-rupted. You don't need to worry about the error message, but to fix it, you can always download and install the program again. Also, if I may make a suggestion, your computer will run better if you reboot every day or two. Elizabeth

Dear Computer Lady,The PC Info page on my

computer says that I have 16GB of RAM, but only 1.95GB is available. Even when I reboot the computer and check, it is still this way. Can you help me? Luisandre

Dear Luisandre,It sounds like something

on your computer is using a lot of RAM. You just need to find out what it is. The first thing that comes to mind is your graphics. Some computers have a graph-ics card with RAM on the card. They don't use the system RAM. Other computers have the graph-ics on the motherboard, and they use part of the system RAM for your display. To see what is hog-ging your RAM, follow these steps: 1. Open Task Manager, by right clicking on the "Start" flag then click on "Task Manager. 2. In the Task Manager, click on the "Processes" tab. 3. In the Pro-cesses page, click the top of the "Memory" column to sort by the amount of RAM used. The pro-grams using the most memory will be at the top of the list. Now, you will be able to see what is using the most RAM, and take steps to disable or uninstall the program. Elizabeth

YORK COUNTY -Habitat for Humanity of

York County is pleased to an-nounce it has received a $5,000 grant from the KeyBank Foun-dation to assist in funding a new Construction Tool Trailer.

The trailer will be used for the safe transport and storage of the tools used to build affordable homes in York County commu-nities. The Construction Tool Trailer will increase Habitats ef-ficiency and reduce construction costs. Currently, tool transfer entails the frequent loading and unloading of items from various vehicles and complete unloading every day at the jobsite and back at the warehouse. The new trail-er will allow the Habitats Con-struction Supervisor to spend more time teaching volunteers and homeowners construction skills and working to build Habi-tat homes. Increased security of tools and the elimination of scat-tered or lost tools make Habitat a better steward of gifts from the community. Habitat is cur-rently working to begin two new homes in Kennebunkport and Kennebunk.

SOUTH BERWICK Len Bogh, Lead Designer

of Great Northern Builders, Inc., in South Berwick, recently com-pleted training to become a Cer-tified Aging-in-Place Specialist (CAPS). The CAPS program is part of the National Association of Home Builders continuing ed-ucation offerings. The program teaches the technical, business management, and customer ser-vice skills essential to competing in the fastest growing segment of the residential remodeling indus-try: home modifications for the aging-in-place.

For the Baby Boomer generation, aging-in-place has become a popular option, elimi-nating the need to down-size to a new and unfamiliar house. People can stay in their For-ever Home well after retirement if they take the necessary steps to adapt their homes to their pres-ent needs, said Bogh. Review-ing a list of questions with clients regarding safety and usage is just the first step to a safer and more comfortable home. CAPS pro-fessionals have the strategies and techniques for designing and building aesthetically enriching, barrier-free living environments.

This recent training is one of many ways that Great North-ern Builders strives to stay cur-

SANFORD The Diocese of Portland

is pleased to announce that St. Thomas School in Sanford (PK-Grade 6) will expand their cur-rent offerings by adding seventh and eighth grades. The seventh grade will be in place when school reopens in the fall and the eighth grade is set to open for the 2017-2018 school year. St. Thomas School is a ministry of St. Thrse of Lisieux Parish, also in Sanford.

The exciting news is the direct result of the support and vision offered by parents, teach-ers, staff, and school board mem-bers who were dedicated to seeing this dream come true, said Prin-cipal Donna Jacques.

Adding seventh and eighth grades at St. Thomas answers the prayers of many families, teach-ers, and staff currently thriving at the school, said Bishop Robert P.

Deeley. This also provides other families in the area with a new option for their children as they mature as students and young people.

The academic, spiritual, and social benefits of a Catholic education are proven and well-documented. Many of the stu-dents who attend St. Thomas go on to earn academic honors in high school and last June, the valedictorians at two local high schools were St. Thomas alumni.

Our teachers are devoted to preparing our students for high school both in the classroom and out, said Jacques. As part of our faith practice, St. Thomas students also learn the impor-tance of reaching out and helping others by actually doing it. This includes collecting donations for local food pantries, Camp

Its that time of year again millions of Ameri-

cans are setting resolutions to better themselves in the New Year. For many, that includes a brighter financial future.

Whether eliminating debt, saving or investing, finan-cial resolutions can be difficult to keep without a coordinated effort, says Mike Sullivan, spokesperson, Take Charge America, a national nonprofit credit counseling and debt man-agement agency. While its very commonplace to create a resolution, few people actually follow through. When it comes to improvements in your per-sonal finances especially, you need a plan, automation and ac-countability.
