Sirois and VanDongen Gather Big Honors
Briefs: Mount Desert Island Hospital to Acquire Acadia Family Centers, Court News,
Each week, we compile briefs and press release and event images and share them all in one (sometimes very long) story. This is this week’s press releases and begins with a brief.
BAR HARBOR—Two Mount Desert Island runners were stand-outs this season in more ways than one. MDI High School runner Amelia VanDongen and her coach Desiree Sirois gathered the honors.
VanDongen was named to the girls’ cross-country All-State team. Sirois was named coach of the year.
The MDI Trojans took accolade after accolade this season. The team won Penobscot Valley Conference Large School, Class B North and Class B championships, sweeping the race with girls claiming the top five stops. That gave the Trojans a perfect score. Next, the team claimed five of the top seven finishes for the Northern Maine title.
At states? The runners just kept dominating. The Trojans won its 11th state championship. It was the team’s fifth win with Sirois as coach. Other championships under Sirois’ care were in 2011, 2012, 2013, 2021, and 2024.
VanDongen was a huge part of that success. Her time of 19:22.66 gave her the PVC Large School championship title. Her time of 18:36 made her the Class B North champion. At the Festival of Champions she finished fifth, and at New Englands, the senior standout came in 54th.
“I am very proud of Amelia’s success this season both on the race course and as a leader. She exhibited class, sportsmanship, leadership, and dedication. She represented our school and community with honor,” Sirois said.
Mount Desert Island Hospital to Acquire Acadia Family Center, Expands Community Health and Outreach Initiatives
MOUNT DESERT—Mount Desert Island Hospital (MDI Hospital) is pleased to announce it is set to acquire Acadia Family Center (AFC) in a strategic move that will enhance access to health services and expand community engagement on Mount Desert Island. This transition, expected to begin December 18, includes the integration of Acadia Family Center's services into MDI Hospital’s Community Health Center in Southwest Harbor and Northeast Harbor Clinic, ensuring seamless continuity of behavioral healthcare for the island's residents.
Through this acquisition, MDI Hospital will repurpose the Acadia Family Center building to support community outreach and engagement initiatives. The hospital has agreed to use AFC assets for important elements of its strategic plan, particularly community education, collaboration with schools, family resiliency training, support groups for teens and adults, and substance use disorder (SUD) prevention and recovery coaching and support.
Chrissi Maguire, president and CEO of MDI Hospital, expressed her gratitude for Acadia Family Center's contributions to the island’s healthcare, stating, "We are deeply appreciative of the work the Acadia Family Center has done over the years. Their ability to work with us to transfer services ensures access to behavioral healthcare for the broader island community."
By integrating these services into MDI Hospital’s existing healthcare centers, the community will be strengthened by accessible, high-quality behavioral healthcare across the island. MDI Hospital had agreed to dedicate AFC assets, including endowment and Fernald Point Road property, to strategically expand behavioral healthcare—including SUD treatment, prevention, and recovery services—in the Southwest Harbor, Bass Harbor, and Tremont region.

ACADIA REP PRESENTS SOUVENIR FOR THE HOLIDAYS
SOMESVILLE—“There is considerable anticipation among those in the know!”
So said Florence Foster Jenkins, the New York socialite turned singer, in regards to one of her upcoming performances. And what performances they were!
Mrs. Jenkins was famous for both her passion for the music she loved, and her complete inability to put two notes together in tune! But despite her tone-deafness, or perhaps because of it, her annual recitals in the ballroom of the Ritz Carlton hotel brought her extraordinary fame. Some of the audience members were there to laugh at her, but others were there for something else: could it be that when she sang the songs she loved so much, even though she mangled them, her sheer exuberance transcended her lack of technical precision?
And who makes the rules, anyway? SOUVENIR, by turns hilarious and poignant, tells her story through the eyes of her long-suffering accompanist, Cosme McMoon. The play is a fictional “biography” in which we follow the story of their partnership from its earliest days to their greatest successes. With each new imagined triumph, Florence’s confidence soars. Faced with her boundless certainty, Cosme comes to revise his attitude, not only towards her singing but to the very meaning of music itself.
In this, the darkest time of year, a story about a woman resolutely finding her inner joy despite the world’s criticism carries extra resonance. The Acadia Rep production in summer 2024 earned great acclaim, and this December reprise is intended to give MDI-area audiences a chance to enjoy the show at a less busy time of year. Starring the dynamic duo of long-time ART favorite Cheryl Willis and Orono’s own super-talented Rob Laraway, SOUVENIR will bring some delight and holiday cheer to Somesville!
Performances are Friday and Saturday evenings, December 13 and 14, at 7:30 p.m., with a Sunday matinee December 15 at 3:00 p.m. Tickets are $30 for adults, $28 for seniors, students, and military, and $15 for children 15 and under; a Pay What You Can option will be available for all performances as well.

MDI Bio Lab, Elementary School Team Up to Solve Science Teacher Gap
Hybrid solution includes virtual lectures and hands-on research experience for 8th graders
MOUNT DESERT— MDI Biological Laboratory and Mount Desert Elementary School are partnering to ensure that local children are exposed not only to concepts in science but also to its real-world practice.
The initiative brings MDI Bio Lab Science Education and Outreach Coordinator Elisabeth Marnik, Ph.D., to the eighth grade classroom to guide students through real-world biology experiments. At other times, they receive science instruction via an online link with a remote teacher.
The hybrid effort came in response to an unexpected staffing shortage.
Earlier this year MDES Principal Heather Dorr was having trouble finding a qualified science teacher for the fall term. She turned to Edmentum, an online platform that links classrooms interactively with certified teachers. That solved part of the problem: but she knew that something was still missing.
"We use technology to solve problems," she says. "But hands-on experience is really what's going to engage students in science and reinforce what they're learning through the digital instruction."
Marnik is filling that gap, bringing microscopes and other biotech equipment from the Lab into school, to engage students directly in the search for scientific knowledge:
They've determined, for instance, that a disk made of spinach will float due to the bubbles it's produced via photosynthesis, identified key differences among cell-types that they stained for microscopic viewing, and demonstrated that a dialysis tube is permeable to sugar but not starch.
"Science is most effectively taught through activities that allow students to experiment, observe outcomes, and formulate hypotheses,” Marnik says. “It’s been a delight working with these students, seeing their eyes light up when they get something to work.”
Coming up, the students will experiment with genetically-altered roundworms that Marnik engineered when she was a post-doc at MDI Bio Lab, to determine whether the lack of a specific gene affects their behavior.
Even Marnik doesn't know the outcome. "This is real science they are doing." she says.
MDI Bio Lab graduate students and undergraduates from College of the Atlantic are assisting Marnik’s classroom efforts. And as part of MDI Bio Lab’s increasing outreach and education, Marnik is making similar visits at other schools around the region, and engaging home schoolers as well.
In 2025, she aims to expand the initiative to more students, parents and educators.
CRITERION THEATRE HOSTS HOLIDAY IN THE GREEN
MDI HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS OF THE MONTH
SOME ELLSWORTH BRIEFS
ELLSWORTH—The Bangor Daily News’ Bill Trotter reported that the Ellsworth Planning Board approved an 83-room hotel on High Street. The Home2 Suites owned by the Witham Family Hotels was approved Wednesday evening. It will be built next to the company’s Hampton Inn
Ellsworth’s fire department is down to half its fleet, he also reports, because “one of its engines rolled down a hill and smashed into a tree” after a malfunction during a fire response on the Gary Moore Road in November.
The “unoccupied engine that had been parked rolled backward about 400 feet down the road, went off the pavement and smashed into a tree roughly 12 to 14 inches wide, Scott Guillerault, the city’s fire chief, said Thursday,” Trotter reported.
Complicating matters is that the other Ellsworth fire engine has electrical issues and cannot be used until it is repaired. The engine that a fire engine sales company loaned the city has a broken driver seat seatbelt, which means that can’t be used either until it is fixed.
Trotter also reported that a disbarred attorney from Ellsworth, Christopher J. Whalley has been given a 14 month sentence for “stealing $190,000 from the estate of a dead client.”
Whalley had pled to a felony theft charge this summer.
“Whalley, 65, had his license to practice law in Maine revoked two years ago after acknowledging misconduct in how he managed the estate of Wilbur Knudsen, a Milbridge man who died in October 2018. His law license had been suspended in February 2022 when a Superior Court justice determined that there could be ‘imminent injury to his clients, the public and the administration of justice’ if he continued to practice law,” Trotter wrote.
SMALL BUSINESS APPLICATIONS OPEN FOR STORM RECOVERY
AUGUSTA—Governor Janet Mills announced today that a second round of applications is now open for Maine small businesses to help them rebuild and recover from last winter's devastating storms.
The Department of Economic and Community Development today opened applications for approximately $2 million in remaining funding for Maine small businesses and nonprofit organizations through its Business Recovery and Resilience Fund to make storm-related repairs and strengthen infrastructure to better withstand future storms.
The Business Recovery and Resilience Fund was created as part of the $60 million storm relief package secured by the Governor and approved by the Legislature earlier this year — the single largest investment in storm recovery by any Administration in Maine history.
The Mills Administration has already awarded approximately $8 million through the first round of Business Recovery and Resilience grants to 109 Maine businesses and nonprofit organizations to help them recover from last winter's devastating storms. The Administration has also awarded $21.2 million in resilience grants to help rebuild 68 working waterfronts and $25.2 million in grants for 39 communities to help them recover and build more resilient infrastructure.
"We want to ensure that every business that can benefit from these recovery and resilience funds is able to do so," said Governor Janet Mills. "The severe storms last December and January disrupted businesses during the busy holiday season and created significant hardship for communities across Maine. I encourage all eligible Maine businesses to consider applying for this final round of funding."
"Many Maine businesses were impacted during the three winter storms," said Heather Johnson, Commissioner of the Maine Department of Economic and Community Development. "We were able to get direct help to many business owners in the first round, and these funds will allow us to reach even more businesses to help them recover and increase their resilience to a changing climate."
The Business Recovery and Resilience Fund provides grants for businesses and organizations, including nonprofit organizations, that have been affected by last winter's severe storms. Business and non-profit applicants may initially request up to $100,000 toward design, permitting and construction costs for their project. Projects receiving grants may include a recovery component for damage sustained and must include efforts to increase business resilience to future storms and other climate conditions. Funds awarded through the program may can pay for up to 50 percent of total project costs, with applicants providing matching funds equal to the total amount requested. Applications must show that the funding will support efforts to make properties resilient to future weather events.
The application and a Frequently Asked Questions document with additional information are available here. Applications are due by no later than 11:59 p.m. on January 14th, 2025.

Striped Bass Stakeholders Meetings
The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission has scheduled a Striped Bass Board meeting on December 16 to consider Board action. This is in response to results of the 2024 Stock Assessment which indicate the stock remains overfished.
