EASTON, Maine — As a life science teacher at Easton Junior-Senior High School, Ellen Trask often tells her students that any dream is possible as long as they set goals and work hard to accomplish them. It was a lesson she recently exemplified with a dream of her own.

It was a lesson she recently exemplified with a dream of her own.
Trask has invented something she calls The Home Salad Bar, a simple food storage unit designed to become part of anyone’s refrigerator.
“I have always loved eating healthy and making sure that my children are eating healthy,” Trask said on Thursday. “And I love eating salads. But I hate chopping up all of the vegetables that go in salads, and then storing all of the vegetables in the refrigerator again. Most of the time, you put them way in the bottom of the refrigerator and they spoil because you forget all about them.”
