SOUTH BERWICK, Maine -- The Kenney family of South Berwick began attending St. Michael's Church in the 1930s, so Zelda Kenney is thrilled that the pewter ornament being sold this year by the Friends of South Berwick Library features the historic 126-year-old building.
"The Library Christmas ornaments honoring historic local buildings are a beautiful new South Berwick holiday tradition," said Kenney. "My family is excited that the Friends chose St. Michael's Church for the 2012 ornament. The ornament is a perfect way to remember the past."
Last year the Friends paid tribute to the previous home of the Library, the Jewett-Eastman House, with its first ornament. This year the group thought it only fitting to feature St. Michael's, home of the new Library, said Bridget Pote, vice president of the Friends.
"I love the idea of hanging the homes of the library in my own home," said Pote. She noted that the ornament represents the original building at 27 Young St., before the recent renovations. The Library started operating out of a small addition to the former church in March, and opened the renovated Great Hall to the public this fall.
Proceeds from the ornaments will benefit the Friends' Building Fund, which stands at $730,000 to date, two-thirds of the way to its $1.1 million goal. With construction and renovation all but complete, incoming funds will outfit the library with book stacks, furniture and equipment.
According to Old Berwick Historical Society's The Placenames of South Berwick, Catholics in South Berwick – many of them mill workers of Irish and French-Canadian origin -- worshipped during most of the 1800s at St. Mary Church in the village of Salmon Falls, Rollinsford, NH. Following a diocesan shift in 1884, St. Mary's was assigned to a new bishop and two years later St. Michael's Church was built for South Berwick.
"The new ornament will be a meaningful memento for our family and for many others, even as we create new memories in our new church," Kenney said, referring to the recently completed Catholic church on Agamenticus Road. "I am happy that the building which holds so many memories for my family now has new life and new purpose as our long-awaited town library."
Maine Preservation's executive board this fall voted to highlight the reuse of the church building as a positive example on Maine's Most Endangered Historic Resources list of 2012. The board showcased the property as a model for adaptive reuse of an in-town public facility, citing the "forethought and initiative seen in transforming the former St. Michael's Church into the new library and a superior model for Maine communities."
The ornaments, made by Hampshire Pewter, are available for $18 at the South Berwick Library, SoBotique, the South Berwick Pharmacy, and the Friends website, www.friendsofsouthberwicklibrary. For more information call the Library at (207)384-3308.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala.—Anchored by a 13-point 10-rebound showing from junior Melanie Short, the Birmingham-Southern women's basketball team defeated University of Dallas, 62-55, at home in Bill Battle Coliseum Saturday evening.
The Panthers even their record at 9-9 overall and 4-5 in the SCAC, while the Crusaders fall to 5-12 overall and 1-8 in the league.
Play was even in the first half. Although BSC pulled out to a seven-point lead at the 14:35 mark, Dallas chipped away at the lead and the teams played to five ties (including 22-22 at the halftime buzzer) as well as three lead changes.
Dallas hit a basket to open the second half, but a three-pointer from senior Kristian Moody gave the Panthers back the lead, 25-24. BSC hung onto a modest lead - never by more than 10 points - until the Crusaders tied it up, 39-39, at the 11:12 mark. The teams tied it up again, 43-43, at the 8:17 mark, but the Panthers responded with seven straight points to go up 50-43 with 6:41 remaining.
BSC would never trail again, although Dallas did cut it to two, 50-48, at the 4:07 mark, and three, 53-50, with 2:51 left to play. The Panthers scored six straight points to go back up by nine before eventually winning by seven, 62-55.
Short led a balanced scoring effort by the Panthers with 13 points on 5-of-7 shooting and 10 rebounds. Senior Kristian Moody and junior Alex Adams also recorded 11 points each, and senior Sam Davidson had 10 points, four assists and four steals.
The Panthers shot .375 (21-of-56) from the field, .222 (6-of-27) from three-point range, and .583 (14-of-24) from the free throw line.
For Dallas, Kylie Yoshimura led all players with 24 points, followed by Christy Allen with 11 points and a game-high 13 rebounds. Yoshimura also recorded four assists, and Marleyna Bustamante led with five steals.
The Crusaders shot .328 (19-of-58) overall, .250 (4-of-16) from long-range, and .684 (13-of-29) from the line.
BSC out-rebounded Dallas 43-41 while committing 14 turnovers to Dallas' 15.
The Panthers are on the road for the next two weeks, traveling next weekend to face Colorado College, Friday, in Colorado Springs, and Hendrix College, Sunday, in Conway, Ark.

New York's Activ8Kids! Campaign Kicks Off Five-Day Promotional Bike Ride and School Recognition Tour in Buffalo
Event Held at Bennett Park Montessori Elementary School in Buffalo
ALBANY, NY, September 26, 2005 - The New York State Department of Health today kicked off a five-day Activ8Kids! Promotional Bike Ride and School Recognition Tour in Buffalo. As part of the tour, volunteer bicyclists serving as Activ8Kids! ambassadors will visit seven schools from Buffalo to Albany on their 360-mile tour across Upstate New York this week to promote healthy lifestyles among children. The bike tour will conclude at the Empire Plaza in Albany this Friday, September 30 at 1:00 p.m.
The Activ8Kids! Riding Team visited Bennett Park Montessori Elementary School in Buffalo today to recognize and honor the school for completing the Montessori Outdoor Learning Experience (MOLE) and to gear up for their upcoming 'Walk Our Children to School Day.' The ambassadors shared the Activ8Kids! message with the children to encourage good eating habits and increased physical activity to maintain their health.
New York's Activ8Kids! campaign, developed by Governor George E. Pataki and the State Department of Health, promotes the consumption of at least five (5) fruits and vegetables; participation in at least one hour (1) of physical activity; and no more than two (2) hours of screen-time by children each day.
"The goal of the Activ8Kids! Promotional Bike Ride and School Recognition Tour is to bring home the Activ8kids! message to children and families throughout New York," State Health Commissioner Antonia C. Novello, M.D., M.P.H., Dr.P.H. said. "Activ8Kids! is a program children can enjoy and follow easily to increase physical activity, as well as eat more fruits and vegetables. We are encouraging parents, schools and the community to develop events and programs that will energize children and get them involved in the decisions that will help them manage their lifestyles and health."
From an educational and historical perspective, New York's Erie Canal system will be highlighted during the Activ8Kids! Promotional Bike Ride and School Recognition Tour. The tour will follow New York's Erie Canal trail, with events scheduled at schools in Buffalo, Victor, Auburn, Canastota, and Niskayuna, with the final event culminating in Albany.
The Department's promotional tour is being coordinated with the following New York State agencies: the Department of Agriculture and Markets; the Office of Tourism; the Department of Education; the Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation; the Department of Transportation; and the Canal Corporation.
The following schools are part of the tour to promote the State's Activ8Kids! campaign and the New York's historic Erie Canal:
- September 26:
- September 27:
- September 28:
- September 29<: Robert Street Middle School and South Side Elementary School, Canastota, NY -

Governor George E. Pataki is encouraging all elementary schools throughout New York State to join in the Activ8Kids! campaign by creating opportunities for students to engage in additional physical activities. Participating schools in the Activ8Kids! campaign will receive a special recognition certificate from the Governor and will be featured on the Department's web site: www.health.ny.gov.

Birth Matters.
A lot. More than most people in this time and place want to admit. Its kind of scary to admit that birth matters, because you don't get a second chance at a birth. Once its done, its done. Even the word "birth" is almost never (in mainstream culture anyway) used as a verb -- to birth. And yet, it is something women do. For some women a decidedly very active thing they do. But in our culture right now, not very many women birth. Instead they are delivered, or maybe a bit better, they deliver their babies (to who?). Many women aren't very active at all when they are delivered -- not physically, not mentally, not spiritually. And that is a huge loss, which some of us are only now consciously starting to miss.
So, why am I here? Is this website going to make any difference at all? Well, really, that depends on you. After all, you are here. Maybe you already know birth matters. Maybe you are just starting to suspect that birth matters. Maybe you got here accidently and you aren't all that sure about what I'm talking about. Hopefully, you give it a look. Since I'm a mom of 4, work here will probably be sporadic and unpredictable. And who really knows when some of the stuff I'm dreaming about and planning will actually come to pass. But I've come to understand that if things are going to change, if women are once again going to birth their babies, it'll be because of the small stuff. One woman at a time, doing her bit, passing her knowledge on to the next. Here's part of what I'm doing. What will you do?

LOWELL -- Bill Bradley was unsure if campaigning for Elizabeth Warren in Massachusetts was a good idea.
After all, a former New York Knicks basketball star venturing into Celtic Nation might not go over well.
"They believe Johnny Most," said Bradley, of Boston fans. "He was the announcer that said, 'Bradley's mugging Havlicek! He's mugging Havlicek!' "
More than three decades have passed since Bradley battled the Celtics teams of the 1970s. After retiring from the NBA in 1977, Bradley was elected to the U.S. Senate, and in 2000, he challenged Al Gore for the Democratic presidential nomination.
While Bradley was stumping for Warren in Worcester and Boston on Tuesday, he also found time to visit an old friend in U.S. Rep. Niki Tsongas in Lowell.
Bradley was elected to the Senate in 1978, the same year as Tsongas' late husband, Paul Tsongas.
The Bradley and Tsongas families were neighbors in Washington, D.C., and their daughters attended the same school.
When Bradley ran for president, Tsongas was one of his Massachusetts campaign co-chairs.
"She was right there for me," said Bradley. "I'll never forget that."
While Bradley's presidential bid was not to be, he knows a thing or two about winning. He was re-elected to the Senate in 1984 and 1990 before retiring.
What advice does he have for Warren?
"Be authentic. Say what you believe," he said. "Have a reason for why you are running for office, other than to hold the office.
Bradley said voters need to decide if they want Democrats or Republicans controlling Washington when deciding between Warren and Republican U.S. Sen. Scott Brown come November's election.
"It's a choice that's not subtle," he said. "It's a choice between who will vote with Republicans to organize the Senate and set the agenda, and who will vote with Democrats to organize the Senate and set the agenda. It is that simple."
Bradley joined Tsongas for a tour and business roundtable hosted by Watermark Environmental in Lowell. They discussed Lowell's revitalization and the Senate campaign with City Councilor Bill Martin, Lowell Plan Executive Director Jim Cook, Lowell attorney George Eliades, Enterprise Bank Executive Vice President Chet Szablak, and Jeanne D'Arc Credit Union President and CEO Mark Cochran.
Today, Bradley is a partner at investment bank Allen & Co. in New York City. He also hosts a weekly radio show, American Voices, on Sirius XM Radio, and published his seventh nonfiction book, "We Can All Do Better," in May.
This was not Bradley's first visit to Lowell. He toured the city with Paul Tsongas years ago when the two served on the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, which oversees Lowell National Historical Park.
Bradley also spent a great deal of time in New Hampshire during his presidential campaign.
"I knew we were making progress there when I would see bumper stickers, 'Another Celtic Fan For Bradley,' " he said. "Nobody holds grudges."

An American Indian Tribe has approved the purchase of a parcel of land in southwestern Wisconsin where it wants to build an off-reservation casino.
The Lac du Flambeau band of Lake Superior Chippewa wants to build a casino, hotel and convention center on 93 acres in Schullsburg in LaFayette County.
The tribe says its council approved the purchase late last week. The Lac du Flambeau has had an option on the land since 2000. Indian tribes need approval from both the governor and the Federal Bureau of Indian Affairs to build off-reservation casinos.
The Lac du Flambeau is seeking approval for its proposal.
