Benefit for Brody at Family Carnival in Kittery KITTERY The opening lines of their website trigger fear and empathy in every parent: “Our world changed forever on Monday, March 21st, 2022, with just one word. . . . The word and diagnosis was Leukemia. Our worst fears were confirmed.” Shelly Walker, mother of four-year-old Brody Walker, goes on to write, “Brody was admitted to the ICU and was there for three days, where they determined his type of Leukemia was called Lymphoblastic. The good news
was that it is 90% curable! He was moved to the regular oncology floor. A few days later we were hit another curve ball and were told that his Leukemia had done a genetic mutation, and that it was a more aggressive form. The good news was that just recently a treatment was developed to treat this specific mutation! . . . So here we have been for almost a month, so far, with inpatient chemo treatment and procedures underway [at Boston Children’s Hospital]. It will be a two-year road to being cancer free for our sweet little boy,
between inpatient and outpatient treatments and procedures.” Even with insurance, however, treatments for leukemia are expensive. So, friends of Shelly – a stay-at-home mother to Brody and his one-and-a-half-year-old brother, Caiden – and her husband, Eddie, who works at the Portsmouth Navy Shipyard, have organized a “Benefit for Brody Family Carnival.” The event will take place on May 22, 2-5 p.m., at the Kittery Community Center at 122 Rogers Road. It will feature bounce houses, slides, obstacle
courses, face painting, and, according to the colorful flyer, “visits from real live princesses.” Suggested donations are $10 per person or $25 per family, all of which will go directly to the Walkers for the treatment of their son. Shelly writes, “We are so thankful for friends coordinating this fundraising event to bring attention to our financial needs, and to come around us to bring encouragement to our little boy and our family!” For more information and to donate, visit www.anniesangels. org/walker-family-fund.

Area Trolley Operation Updates YORK COUNTY As with many other transit providers and businesses nationwide, the York County Community Action Corporation (YCCAC) transportation program has been impacted by the current labor shortage, especially of qualified drivers with commercial driver’s licenses (CDL). This has resulted in both the reduction and suspension of services in recent months. In a statement regarding the 2022 Shoreline Explorer season, the YCCAC said, “It is with great disappointment that we must inform our sponsors, supporters, and riders that YCCAC has made the very difficult decision to suspend services for the season. We hope that you understand that this decision is not made lightly as we know it

However, without enough drivers to operate the vehicles, we simply cannot provide an efficient and effective service. “Those of you who have already sent your sponsorship payments will be receiving a reimbursement in the coming weeks.

The suspended services include the Blue 4 and 4b trolleys that operate between Wells and Kennebunk’s Lower Village, and the Purple Line shuttle that operates between Perkins Cove and York Short Sands Beach. The Orange Line service that runs between Sanford and Wells, seven days a week, will continue to operate with an added stop at Wells Beach for
the summer season. For more information, contact Deb Paradis, Shoreline Explorer Project Manager and YCCAC Assistant Transportation Director, at 207-459-2931 or debra.paradis@ yccac.org.

Ramping Up a New Park
KENNEBUNK It’s been a long road to the construction of a new skatepark on Factory Pasture Lane in Kennebunk. Beginning in June of 2013, when town voters approved a capital appropriation of $100,000 for improvements to the Kennebunk Skatepark, the process involved an initial planing phase for a new park at a different location, which was scuttled by those same voters two years later, followed by the establishment of an ad hoc committee in
September of 2016 to develop an improvement plan for the current location. The town’s skatepark webpage continues the narrative: “Staff reviewed the work of the Skatepark Ad-hoc Committee [in August 2019], made multiple visits to the current skatepark, and met with many of the core users of the park, including skateboarders, bikers, and scooter users. Informal get-togethers were held to listen to current park users and hear from them on a variety of topics including the history of the park,

Based on input from this meeting, a final design concept was developed by [Pillar Design Studios]. This final design incorporates the current asphalt surface with several new concrete sections and features. A master plan has also been designed showing options for add-on features and future development.” After more design refine-

ments, followed by site evaluations, permitting, bids for construction, and a six-month delay, construction on the new park began in April of this year. According to Karen Winton, Deputy Director of Community Development, the funds raised will cover the first two phases of the project, which include the addition of about 2,000 square feet of space, a miniature ramp, and a stair combination. The town is still looking for funding sources that would allow for the phase-three add-on features to be included. A complete timeline of the development process, as well as designs and proposals can be found at www.kennebunkmaine.

us/skatepark. According to the Public Skatepark Development Guide, “The hallmark of skateboarding culture is that it is welcoming to anyone that approaches it with the intention of improving his or her personal skill. Class, race, gender, weight, and other hobbies are irrelevant provided that the participant’s enthusiasm for the actual act of skateboarding is genuine. In this way, skateboarding is egalitarian and inclusive. . . . There is nothing to gain or lose from seeing other people land a trick for the first time except for the joy of seeing them do it.”

~ Arts & Entertainment ~ “The Cher Show” a Splashy Start to Ogunquit Playhouse’s 90th Season By Nancye Tuttle, Staff Writer OGUNQUIT Her one-word name – instantly recognized by fans worldwide of the pop goddess, fashion icon, and Oscar-winning actress – shines brightly in that rarefied world of multitalented showbiz superstars. For six decades she has dominated pop culture, and her rags-to-riches life story is on stage now in “The Cher Show” at the Ogunquit Playhouse. The jukebox musical opens the venerable theater’s 90th season with a fabulous, costume-filled splash – a big, bold, brassy show that brings audiences back inside the historic space for the first time since October 2019. It is written by Rick Elice, who also penned the showstopping “Jersey Boys.” In “The Cher Show,” we meet the multitalented, multifaceted legend called Cher in the guise of three talented, big-voiced actresses – Star, Lady, and Babe – who take on the diva in three stages of her life and career: the newcomer, the pop star, and the film icon. And we soon learn that behind the glitter, cheekiness, gorgeous over-the-top gowns, dynamic contralto voice, and comedic chops is a complex, vulnerable Cher. She’s beset with insecurities and a bad case of nerves, the result of dyslexia and a lessthan-happy childhood. But Cher’s determination to rise to the top and become a star – a burning desire that started when she was the kid Cherilyn Sarkisian – along with her talent, overcomes the vulnerabilities and helps her gain diva status in pop music, on stage and TV, and in film. The show opens with Star – the talented Sara Gettelfinger
instinctively cloning Cher – and the entire company setting the scene with a glamorous “If I Could Turn Back Time.” It’s our first glimpse at the energetic, fast-paced show that’s filled with over 20 hit tunes, including Sonny and Cher’s classic “I Got You Babe” and Cher’s beloved “Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves.” The iconic tunes are enhanced with an array of dynamic dance numbers and hundreds – I said hundreds – of fabulous costumes that are big, bold, and designed by Bob Mackie for the Broadway production, plus an array of wigs by Roxanne DeLuna. Kudos to the cast and the backstage dressers for orchestrating myriad rapid costume changes with not a dropped headdress or misplaced wig in the mix. The
costumes and wigs are a showstopping draw to “The Cher Show.” The talented cast, under Gerry McIntyre’s lively direction, is up to the show’s energetic demands. Besides Gettelfinger’s distinct Star, the magical Cher is depicted by Charissa Hogeland as the thoughtful Lady, the conscience of the triumvirate; and an appealing Madeline Hudelson as innocent Babe. The three play off of each other well and are convincing as the multifaceted diva. Dino Nicandros is terrific as Sonny Bono, Cher’s lover-husband-partner-comedic foil. He was the brains behind Sonny and Cher – until she told him where to go and made a name for herself on her own, not unlike Lucille Ball or Tina
Turner. David Engel is a standout as Bob Mackie, and Playhouse veteran Angie Schworer is excellent as Georgia Holt (Cher’s mom) and Lucille Ball. Sat urday’s crowd gave “The Cher Show” a well-deserved standing ovation. It’s a
WS
fabulous night of theater, filled with energy, music, and memorable performances that bring an iconic personality to life at an equally iconic venue. It’s not to be missed. “The Cher Show” runs through June 25. Visit www. ogunquitplayhouse.org for tickets and details.

~ Arts & Entertainment ~ Dance Hall Duo
KITTERY On May 27, 7:30 p.m., at the Dance Hall in Kittery, fiddle player April Verch and banjo player Cody Walters (pictured below) will bring virtuosic performances of songs and dances from the Ottawa Valley and the hills of Appalachia. The husband-and-wife duo combine their backgrounds – Verch’s eastern Canada and Walters’s heartland roots in Kansas – to present step-dancing and fiddle
tunes, old-time fiddle/banjo duets with tight-knit vocal harmonies, and innovative “sandpaper” foot percussion. According to their press release, “The duo’s diverse repertoire and unbridled passion come to life on stage with a presence that is versatile, robust, and masterfully executed. Audiences remark at their sincerity in sharing stories between tunes. Verch’s delicate voice, energetic footwork, sandpaper

foot percussion, and stunning playing (sometimes combined all at once!) are jaw-dropping. Walters’s melodic banjo stylings, solid rhythm guitar accompaniment, and tastef ul vocal harmonies are at once understated and brilliant, dueting with Verch’s skills in glorious harmony. Their ability to preserve the authentic folk traditions of the past and reintroduce them into the musical landscape of the present is a testament to their masterful musicianship and widespread appeal.” This performance will mark the duo’s Dance Hall debut. To be admit ted to the Dance Hall, all audience members must show proof of full vaccination against COVID-19 or proof of a negative COVID19 test administered within 72 hours before the performance.

Each artist’s unique vision and talent is put on display while also allowing the different media and subject matter to mix and show us how to curate a collection in dynamic ways. Works ranging from abstract sculpture, paintings of birds in flight, interpretations of the sky, and contemporary photography will be on view.” KW Contemporary Art

cookouts, often with grilling as a focal point. As the holiday and summer months grow closer, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) reminds everyone of basic safety tips to grill and celebrate safely. Fire departments responded to an average of 10,600 home fires annually involving grills, hibachis, or barbecues, according to NFPA’s research from 2014-2018. This included 4,900 structure fires and 5,700 outside or unclassified fires. These fires resulted in an annual average of 10 civilian deaths, 160 civilian injuries, and $149 million in direct property damage. A yearly average of 19,700 patients went to emergency rooms because of injuries involving grills. Nearly half of the injuries were thermal burns, including both burns from fire and from contact with hot objects. Children under five years of age accounted for an average of 2,000, or 39%, of
these contact-type burns. These burns typically occurred when someone bumped into, touched, or fell on the grill, grill part, or hot coals. The peak months for grilling fires are July (18%), June (15%), May (13%), and August (12%), though grill fires occur year-round. Leading causes of grill fires include failing to clean the grill, the heat source being located too close to combustible materials, leaving equipment unattended, and leaks or breaks in the grill or fuel source. To enjoy a fire-safe grilling season, the NFPA recommends checking the gas tank on propane grills for leaks before use in the months ahead; keeping grills clean by removing grease or fat buildup; placing grills well away from the home, deck railings, and out from under eaves and overhanging branches; keeping children and pets at least three feet away from the grilling area; making sure the gas-grill lid is open before lighting it; using only charcaol starter f luid for
charcoal grills, and then letting the coals cool completely after grilling before disposing in a metal container; and never leaving a grill unattended when in use. For this release and other announcements about NFPA initiatives, research, and more, visit the News and Research section of the association’s website at www.nfpa.org.

Health & Fitness Decibel Levels of Common Noises Noise is ever y where. Though some noise can be very harmful, many noises are associated with something positive. For example, for many people the sound of birds chirping marks the arrival of spring, while others may instantly associate the sound of waves crashing on a shore with the relaxing spirit of summer. But not all noises should be welcomed with open arms, especially by people who are not protecting themselves from noise. The Environmental Protection Agency notes that noise is often expressed in decibels, a unit of measurement that indicates the volume of sound. The greater the number of decibels, the louder the noise and the more harmful that noise is to a person’s ears. And no one is immune to the side effects of exposure to excessive levels of noise, which include hearing loss. For example, the Hearing Loss Association of America (HLAA) estimates that one in five teenagers in the United States experience some degree of hearing loss. That’s unfortunate, as hearing loss can have negative short- and long-term consequences. For example, the HLAA reports that even mild hearing loss can cause a child to miss as much as 50 percent of classroom discussion. The long-term consequences also are significant, especially for those who don’t seek treatment for hearing loss. According to the HLAA, people with unaided hearing loss earned an average of $20,000 less per year than people who used hearing aids or cochlear implants. Many people suffer hearing loss after attending rock concerts or special events like fireworks shows. But various other noises also can have an adverse effect on a person’s hearing. The experts at Johns Hopkins Medicine report that normal conversation is usually around 60 decibels. These noises often measure at much higher decibels than normal conversation, potentially putting people’s hearing in jeopardy. Jet plane, siren, jackhammer: No one wants to walk past a jackhammer in use, and for good reason. Jackhammers measure at roughly 120 to 130 decibels, putting them on par with noises made by jet planes and sirens. Johns Hopkins notes that unprotected exposure to these noises can contribute to permanent hearing loss. Personal music players: Maximum volume on some personal music players, including smartphones, is 10 times as loud as recommended listening

settings. That’s concerning for everyone, but especially for parents of young people who grew up listening to music primarily through personal music players. Decibel levels on personal music players at their loudest levels average around See NOISE on page 30 . . .
KENNEBUNKPORT As part of the Kennebunkport Public Health Department’s 75th anniversary programs, Officer Candice Simeoni of the Kennebunk Police Department, and Adam Hartwig, York District public health liaison to the
CDC, will present a session on cognitive decline and risk factors for victimization. Simeoni is also the founder of the York County Elder Abuse Taskforce. The session will familiarize participants with how cognitive impairment can be a risk factor for becom-
ing a victim of exploitation, and how to prevent victimization from happening. It will take place on May 25 at 9:30 a.m. in the Louis T. Graves Memorial Public Library in Kennebunkport. To reserve seating, contact the library at 207-967-2778.

~ Ask The Computer Pro ~
Dear Computer Pro, I am in the market for a new computer, but I do not know what I am looking for in a processor other than I want Intel Pentium Gold, i3, i5, i7, i9 . . . so many options to choose from! I am not as concerned about price as I am purchasing a good computer. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance, Ben Dear Ben, Back in the olden days (‘90s), it was so much easier to look at the CPU choices and see that one had a speed that was faster than the other. Today, it is much more difficult; but, with a little research, you can find your way around all these crazy processor options! When I am looking at systems today, I primarily focus on two things: core count and clock speed. To use a human analogy, the more cores you
have is like having more employees assigned to complete a given task. A higher clock speed means each employee is operating at a quicker pace. At the end of the day, the more employees you have working at the fastest pace results in the assigned task getting completed quickest. Additionally, some processors support Hyper-Threading and Turbo Boost. Hyper-Threading allows each core to perform two tasks, or “threads,” in parallel. Imagine if your employee could do two things simultaneously! Turbo Boost allows a processor to run at a faster clock speed to finish a demanding load. This would be like adding additional caffeine to the coffee so you boost your employees’ overall speed just long enough to finish a big task. Next, I look at which Intel product family the CPU falls under: Celeron, Pentium, Core

i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Core i9. The Celeron family of processors is the most budget-friendly, but they are also the lowest performing CPUs in the lineup. These would be well suited for younger children or for computers that do not get used very often, and, when they are used, they are doing a single task. I would say the same applies to Pentium and i3 processors, though they will perform slightly better. For most people, the Core i5 processor is going to be the best bang for the buck, especially with some of the latest 12th-eneration i5 CPUs having up to twelve cores! For folks that are heavier users and/or gamers, the Intel Core i7 has always been the processor to have. With up to 16 cores (eight performance and eight efficient) and 24total threads, these processors can take anything you throw at it; but they do cost a bit more. If that is not enough power for you, the i9 is Intel’s f lagship family of Core processors. With some i9 processors costing twice their i7 counterparts, you will really have to weigh out whether it is worth it to you! Do not forget that the biggest performance bottleneck in PCs today is storage. Be sure you find something with an NVMe or PCI Express Solid

LET’S NOT NEGLECT to fully evaluate the potential harm that we would be bringing on ourselves and especially on our children in pursuant of convenience and instant cell phone connection if we fail to establish a Moratorium on the siting of Wireless Communication Facilities (such as cell towers). THE DISMISSAL OF RADIO-FREQUENCY emitted by a cell tower placed atop of a water tower resulting in damaging health effects have based their conclusion that the radio frequency emission will be much lower than the current standards of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). However, those standards have not been reviewed for many years and are grossly inadequate for protection of human health. Currently pending are two cases in federal courts where FCC is being sued for failure to protect public health. FCC admits that it has no health expertise. THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION INTERNATIONAL AGENCY FOR RESEARCH ON CANCER classified the radiation from cell towers and cell phones as a Class 2B “Possible Carcinogen.” But the difference between a cell phone is that it is used intermittently, while the emissions from a cell tower would be constant. THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY STATES, “At this time, there is no strong evidence that exposure to radio-frequency waves from cell phone towers causes any noticeable health effects. However, this does not mean that RF waves from cell phone towers have been proven to be absolutely safe. Most expert organizations agree that more research is needed to help clarify this, especially for any long-term effects.” WE ARE NOT ANTI-TECHNOLOGY. We are technology users ourselves. Wireless technology is here to stay. We expect no magic here – just logic, physics, and reputable scientific studies, and a chance to better understand how wireless technology (cell towers) can safely fit into the local environment if at all. FCC standards are only recognizing thermal radiation effects and not non-thermal thus ignoring thousands of studies showing cancerous and neurological effects. There is voluminous research available to help make this idyllic community think twice about putting our children and the people of this tightly knit York Village community at risk by moving full steam ahead. Good science is never enough to force sensible public policy. Fortunately, only citizens can do that. Tara Silverman, York Harbor
State Drive (SSD), so you know you are getting the best storage performance available. Good luck! Matt Dear Computer Pro, I lost my power cord to my laptop. Can I just buy a universal one online to replace it, or should I go directly to the manufacturer for a replacement? Thanks, Christy Dear Christy, For most of the mainstream laptops out there, you can grab a universal one and it will work just fine. The one I recommend is a 90-watt universal charger (www.amzn.to/3Lw7jdK) that comes with interchangeable “tips” that allow it to connect to 99% of the laptops. If you happen to have a laptop that utilizes a USB Type-C port for charging, I haven’t found a universal charger that I can vouch for yet, so I recommend the Dell 130-watt USB Type-C charger (www.amzn. to/39VIDxV). This charger has successfully charged anyand everything that I have connected it to, including Samsung phones and MacBook Pros! At 130 watts, I cannot think of any device out there that would need more power to charge. If you are sure you do not need that much power, the 65-watt version from Dell (www.amzn. to/3liDdjd) is a great choice as well. Good luck! Matt Dear Computer Pro, I bought a ref urbished desktop computer, and it came
with a tiny USB dongle that says “Wi-Fi” on it. It does allow me to connect to my Wi-Fi in the house, but it seems slow, and I never seem to have a strong signal. Is there something better I could use? Thanks, Libby Dear Libby, I know exactly the type of USB adapter that you are talking about, and they really do not do a respectable job at all unless your computer is right beside your Wi-Fi router. I have found a USB Wi-Fi adapter (www. amzn.to/3lr51BH) that has an actual antenna that does an amazing job. Besides providing a much better connection to your Wi-Fi, this device does not need any software or setup with Windows 10 or 11. Just plug it in and connect to your Wi-Fi! If you are a little more tech savvy, you can install an internal Wi-Fi adapter (www.amzn. to/3LizjkM) that has external antennas and will provide you with even better performance and signal strength. You would just need to make sure you have an available PCI Express slot (x1, x4, x8, or x16) available. This adapter would also add Bluetooth so you can connect Bluetooth devices like mice, keyboards, etc. to your desktop. Good luck! Matt I nterested i n lea r n i ng more?

Doris Battersby, 94 WELLS – Doris “Dot” (McArdle) Battersby passed away peacefully at home in Wells, on May 5, 2022, with her family by her side. Doris was born on October 30, 1927, in Attleboro, MA, to parents Florence and Peter McArdle. She graduated from Attleboro High School and soon after met her husband, Frederick Battersby, with whom she shared 64 years until his passing in 2013. In high school, her senior quote was “A Dot who’s always dashing.” She lived up to this characterization with her exuberant energy, engaging in many interests and activities throughout her long life. Dot was the secretary to Mayor Brennan of
Attleboro in the early ‘50s, left that job to raise three children, and returned to work primarily employed as a bookkeeper in two local nursing homes. Outside of work, she found time to enjoy her garden, plan family trips to Maine each summer, and satisfy her artistic side with rug hooking, sewing, and drawing. In their late 60s, Dot and husband, Fred, moved from North Attleboro, MA, to Wells, where they quickly found community and activities to keep them busy. Now living close to their youngest son, Tom, they were able to spend many wonderful and fun-filled years with their granddaughter, Devin. Dot and Fred also both volunteered at the Nubble Light Welcome Center, Wells Church, and were employed by the Ogunquit Welcome Center. Dot enjoyed browsing in local vintage and antique shops, often dining on a cup of chowder or fish and chips afterwards. She continued creating her beautiful gardens at her home in Wells and took up a new hobby, oil-painting local landmarks and seascapes in southern Maine. Dot leaves her son, Peter, of Wells, who was her helpful com-
panion during her final years; daughter Anne and son-in-law Greg Adams of Oakland, CA; son Tom and daughter-in-law Stephanie Doane of Ogunquit; step-grandsons Wise Doane of Vicenza, Italy, and Conor Doane of Seattle, WA; and, last but not least, her granddaughter Devin of Astoria, NY, with whom she shared a special bond. Dot was predeceased by her brother, Donald, of Torrance, CA, of whom she had many fond memories. Besides her family, Dot’s caregiver, Amber, provided excellent care during Dot’s last year, as well as nurse, Keith, and home health aide, Annette, from Beacon Hospice. Their help and kindness will never be forgotten. Having two parents from England, Dot grew up with a love of tea time, and continued this practice throughout her years. Dot believed that most problems could be solved and sorted out over tea, especially when accompanied by something sweet. In memory of her, please raise a cup of tea, have a sweet, and know all will be well. To share a memory or leave a message of condolence, please visit Doris’s Book of Memories

George Robert Carlino, 66 WELLS – George Robert Carlino, of Wells, formerly of Massachusetts, passed away suddenly at his residence on April 23, 2022. He was born April 14, 1956, in Melrose, MA, the son of George and Constance Maccarone Carlino, and grew up in the Medford, MA, area. George was the owner of Ohio Citrus, a fruit and vegetable wholesaler based in Massachusetts. He was a man who loved to laugh and will be greatly missed
by his wide circle of friends. Su r v ivor s i nclude h i s former wife, Mary Carlino, and a son, David Burns, of Lynn, MA; and a large extended family and many friends.

ers Michael Nixon (Nick) and Thomas Harper (Tom), and sister Edith Patricia (Pat). After attending Wilmington Friends School, Bill spent time in college and traveling. His travels eventually had him drive across country in his 1958 Corvette. In California, he would meet Sallie Stout. Bill and Sallie eventually traveled back to the East Coast. The couple married on Halloween in 1970. Bill and Sallie settled in Wells, where they raised son Ryan William Charles Ellis. After finishing school, Bill took a job as an engineering technician at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, where he would work for more than 40 years until retiring in 2018. Always fascinated by how things worked, Bill enjoyed several rides on submarines during the sea trials he contributed to. Bill had a lifetime love of cars. His early automotive interest can be noted as he turned his family’s farm shop into a racing garage where he and his friends gathered to build hot-rods. Bill was the eldest child and had the responsibility for driving his siblings to school. One consequence of his hot-rodding interests was that the family had many spirited rides to school. In his retirement, Bill drove his replica 1964 Cheetah every opportunity he had. In the evenings, Bill could often be found watching drag racing while cleaning materials for Sallie’s wind chime business. He had a natural draw to animals, having had many family dogs, cats, and birds throughout his life. Bill also enjoyed live music, and recently enjoyed seeing a personal favorite, Martin Barre, at a small local venue with Ryan. Bill was predeceased by both his parents. He is survived by brothers Nick, of Southern Pines, NC, and Tom, of Wilmington, DE; and sister Pat, of Kennebunkport; as well as several nieces and nephews. He is
also survived by his wife, Sallie, of nearly 52 years, and son, Ryan (44), both of Wells. The family will have a private Celebration of Life at a date to be determined.

Richard A. McKenney, 80 ELIOT – Richard (Dick) A. McKenney passed away on May 13, 2022, at his home, surrounded by his loved ones. Born in Biddeford on November 3, 1941, Dick was the son of George Alfred and Georgiana (Lewis) McKenney. One of six children, he learned his wit and toughness from the many adventures they had in childhood. Dick was a 1959 graduate of Merrimack (NH) High School and a 1964 graduate of the University of New Hampshire. A licensed professional engineer in the state of New Hampshire, he worked at Manchester Gas Company (NH) and for 30 years at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard until his retirement in 1994. He then worked as the school district representative for SAD 35 on the construction of the new Marshwood High School in 1999. In his retirement,

he continued to work as a consultant in a variety of areas. Dick was an active member of the sporting community of Eliot, coaching T-ball, Little League teams, and Saturday elementary school basketball. He coached the Marshwood High School cross country team in 1994 and was involved in the Marshwood wrestling program at all levels, including serving as president of the Wrestling Boosters. He successfully organized the New England Wrestling Tournament held at UNH. In 1993, Dick founded and directed the first Eliot Festival Day 5K Road Race, now one of the most popular 5K races in the state of Maine. He was a well-known running figure in Eliot and the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, competing in road races in the Seacoast area for 20 years, and running the Boston Marathon in 1981. Dick’s determination was unstoppable. He tackled many challenges undaunted, such as building his own home (twice), running a marathon (Boston), and disputing municipal regulations. He enjoyed tinkering and problem-solving, and remained actively engaged in personal en-
gineering projects, even into his 80th year. Dick met his wife of 57 years, Theresa, at UNH. He was a wonderful family man who enjoyed spending time with his children, grandchildren, and great-granddaughters. He loved his children and was very proud of each of them. A devoted fan of their sports seasons, he attended every game possible – always arriving punctually so as not to miss anything. He loved to share all the details of what they were doing with anyone who would listen! Dick and Theresa enjoyed spending holidays and summers with their nine grandchildren, whom they cared for while their parents were away. Over the years, they traveled for weeks to Richmond, VA; Toronto, ON; Chattanooga, TN; and the Netherlands. Lots of happy summer days were spent with the family at Swains Lake (where Dick and Theresa resided full time beginning in 2014), on the Saco River for their traditional overnight canoe trip, hiking in New Hampshire and Maine, and picking blueberries. Dick was an active member of Eliot Congregational Church,
Our Family Serving Your Family Since 1880
where he enjoyed singing in the choir, and appeared in the 2012 production of “Godspell.” He also sang with the Community Chorus of South Berwick. Dick was an avid reader and a student of history, always with an interest in learning. Dick was predeceased by his parents; brothers, George and Kenneth McKenney; and grandson, Daniel Mayo. His presence will be forever missed by his loving wife, Theresa; four children, Cheryl Mayo (Damon), Richard McKenney (Pamela), Kevin McKenney (Susan), and Scott McKenney; eight grandchildren, Bridget Omberg (Tucker), Deborah Mayo, and Matthew, Grace, Skyler, Nicholas, Logan, and Mitchell McKenney; and two great-granddaughters, Julia and Allison Omberg.

Bernier-Gelinas FUNERAL HOME
Kittery, ME We are often asked by the families we serve, here at JS Pelkey & Son and Bernier Funeral Homes, why certain expressions and traditions exist in the funeral service industry. One of the most often asked questions is “Why send flowers to a memorial service or funeral, aren’t they just a waste of money?” Well nothing could be further from the truth. As my friend Todd Van Beck recently wrote in an article: Flowers are sent to funerals for several reasons. Flowers are a means of expression. It is often difficult for those mourning a death to put feelings into words. Flowers are a visual expression of love, sympathy, and respect. They are a way of lending support and sharing the burden of grief. In addition to sending flowers to the funeral, there is a growing trend to send flowers to the home of the bereaved after the service. Some people also send flowers to the church in memory of the deceased. Flowers create a background of warmth and beauty which adds to the dignity and consolation of the service. Those who have attended services where there were no flowers have noted that something was

bereaved’s feelings in the patterns of community support which are psychologically beneficial. Flowers, however, express the inexpressible – they are symbolic.
missing – that the funeral was depressing. The funeral meets the bereaved’s need for support. Death throws people into despair and depression by separating them from one who has provided love, companionship, and security. The funeral and customs provide the means by which those close to them can give their support and share their suffering. The funeral period provides for the expression of sorrow. Only through talking about the past can the bereaved person realize the extent of the relationship with the deceased, and accept the loss and suffering. Only through weeping and talking to good listeners can they release their grief and feelings of guilt and hostility. Experts in grief therapy believe that it can be expressed best through rites, rituals, and ceremonies. The ceremony deals primarily with intellectual concepts and doesn’t fully engage the
125 Old Post Rd., Kittery, ME 207-439-4900 www.jspelkeyfuneralhome.com
There are three points to be stressed, finally, in connection with the tradition of funeral flowers. First, the role of flowers are both symbolic and aesthetic. They add great value to the richness and meaning of the ritual. Second, flowers represent sympathy extended to the bereaved. Third, flowers are sent to both the living and the dead. They are sent to the living as comfort and as tokens of respect for the deceased. We, at the JS Pelkey & Son and the Bernier Funeral Homes, hold the value of the work our local florists do in very high regard. We always encourage the families we serve to contact a local florist directly. Certainly there are national floral outlets that can be reached with a simple Google search but, honestly, the quality of these products are often substandard. Simply click the “Send Flowers” tab on our website and you will be directed to our list of trusted florists. Please call us about any questions with which we may help.

WELLS Last week, we introduced you to a pair of five-year-old kitties, Taboo and Kadena. Originally, we wanted to place them together as a pair. But personality traits have emerged that have made these two kitties now available for adoption separately. Kadena, the shyer of the two, is easily intimidated by Taboo’s outgoing personality, sometimes escalating to a confrontation. For example, if Kadena is receiving attention, Taboo simply must put an end to that and make sure she is the recipient of the affection. This might result in simply a swipe, a hiss, or an out-and-out brawl. That kind of attitude (or cattitude) doesn’t help build Kadena’s

confidence level one bit. Safe Haven is faithful to keeping bonded pairs of kitties together, and we thought that these two were bonded; but now we know differently. Both kitties are very loving and sweet, beautiful, healthy, and dear. Kadena is a lovely brown tiger. Taboo is a beautiful gray short-hair. Each will flourish separately in loving homes, ideally without dogs or other kitties; homes with older, gentle children are fine. Each will quickly become a beloved family member.

Lloyd Nathaniel Phillips, 81 NORT H BERW ICK – Lloyd Nathaniel Phillips, of Mohawk, TN, went home to be with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on Wednesday, May 4, 2022. He was born in Springvale, and grew up in North Berwick. He was a 1958 graduate of North Berwick High School and married his high school sweetheart, Helen Lessard, in 1959. He worked for Hussey Seating Company and then for Educational Installations, Inc.,
as a salesman. He later started his own company, Criteria, Inc., with two of his business associates. He retired in 1992 and moved to DeBary, FL, and later to Northport, FL. While in Florida, he worked as a “profes-
sional” ranger at his favorite golf course. He moved to Tennessee in 2017 to be close to his brother and sister-in-law. He enjoyed spending time with his family and friends. Lloyd loved playing golf and enjoyed attending church with his beautiful wife of 62 years. He was a member of the Concord Baptist Church in Mohawk, TN. Lloyd enjoyed showing his family and friends all the tricks he trained his dog Choo-chee to do. When Choochee died, he began to teach his new dog, Oreo, many of the same tricks. He is survived by his wife, Helen (Lessard) Phillips; his
children and their spouses, Daniel and Sheri (Stansbury) Phillips, and Christine (Phillips) Baird and her husband Edwin Baird, Jr; grandchildren and their spouses, Amanda Phillips, Brent and Emily (Squires) Phillips, Brandon Baird, Cody Furbish and Abigail Baird Furbish, Bethany Baird, Nathaniel Baird, Joseph Baird and Jada (Bellows) Baird, Ariel Baird, and his first great-grandchild, Theodore Phillips; his brother, George Phillips and his wife Elmalee (Shortt) Phillips, and sister Bernice (Phillips) Webber Randall; and numerous nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents, George Franklin Phil-

Beware Baby Formula Scams STATEWIDE Shortages in the supply of baby formula are leading new parents to find other ways of finding the muchneeded item – and risking themselves to potential online scams. The US Food and Drug Administration announced it is taking proactive measures to increase supply to help ease the shortage. But with the current
supply issues on many items, including formula, scammers are watching. Here’s how a scam works: An ad, post, or social media group announces they have baby formula available. The buyer then contacts the seller via chat or direct message and is shown photos of the cans available. Finally, the buyer makes a payment through a peer-to-peer platform,

such as PayPal or Venmo, but the formula never arrives. Signs of a potential online purchase scam include misspellings, grammatical errors, or other descriptive language that is inconsistent with the product; and no indication of a brick-and-mortar address, or the address given shows on a Google map as a parking lot, residence, or unrelated business. Positive reviews are not necessarily an indication of legitimacy, since scammers can copy them from honest websites or can fund their own “independent review” sites. Before making a purchase, it is advisable to visit the website of the Better Business Bureau (BBB) at www.bbb.org to check a business’s rating and accreditation status. Impostors have been known to copy the BBB seal; but if it is real, clicking on the seal will lead to the company’s BBB profile. It is also a good idea to conduct an internet search with the company name and the word “scam.” This may locate other complaints about the site.
Buyers should be especially cautious about email solicitations and online ads on social media sites. If a purchase is made, the buyer should make a note of the website where the order is placed and take a screenshot of the item ordered, in case the site disap-
pears, or a different item is received in the mail than what was advertised. Suspected online shopping frauds can be reported to the BBB at bbb.org/scamtracker.
Inflation Relief Checks STATEWIDE Inflation relief checks in the amount of $850 for Maine residents are one result of the Maine State Legislature’s approval of the supplemental budget signed into law by Governor Mills on April 20. The relief payments are to help with higher-than-usual costs due to inf lation. Checks will be mailed via the US Postal Service to residents starting in June. Full-time residents who file a 2021 Maine income tax return by October 31 are eligible to receive the payments based on
Customized Commercial Insurance Options to Meet YOUR Business Needs
adjusted gross income. Eligible residents who have filed a 2021 Maine tax return do not need to take further action to receive a check. Seniors receiving social security and others who do not typically file tax returns will need to file a 2021 Maine tax return to receive a check. To receive free help with filing a 2021 Maine tax return to receive an $850 inf lation relief check, please visit the www.cashmaine.org.

Rick’s Run 5K at Spring Hill
SOUTH BERWICK On Saturday, May 28, starting at 9 a.m., Rick’s Run 5k will host runners and walkers locally at Spring Hill in South Berwick, and virtually around the country. Over the past six years, this event has become a community favorite, raising funds for Veterans Forward (formally Veterans Count), an organization that provides funds for Maine veterans. With awards for all ages and an awesome post-race party that is second to none, Rick’s Run 5k is the event to kick off the Memorial Day weekend in a positive and active way for a good cause. Rick’s Run 5k was created in memory of Richard A. Roy. Rick was a Vietnam veteran who suffered from post traumatic stress syndrome (PTSD) and lived with it day in and day out until he passed. He served this
country, and all who knew and loved him saw the hidden emotional wounds of that sacrifice. As the country learns more and more about how to help veterans with PTSD, this race will be donating 100% of the proceeds to Veterans Forward. For this year only, the run will be on a Saturday morning.
Following the in-person event will be a post-race brunch that will leave participants full and ready to celebrate the weekend festivities. Like all events produced by Forward Motion Events, participants will experience a race with a tremendous amount of community, inclusivity, motivation, and gratitude. “Our goal with all of our events is to provide an opportunity to race for a purpose and help you feel welcome – whether you are competitive or are there for the community aspect,” said Rachel Martin, daughter of Rick, race owner, and race director. “All are welcome, and we will make you feel empowered to stay active and contribute to the greater good.” Registration is open for the in-person and virtual event. Learn more and register at www. runsignup.com/race/me/southberwick/ricksrun5k.
BA Varsity Tennis Strong Finish SOUTH BERWICK May 11 was a tough day for the Berwick Academy boys varsity tennis players as they went up against the strong team of Concord Academy. It was all great tennis, but, in the end, Berwick lost all five matches. On May 14, though, the team took three matches from Pingree, winning the best out of five matches. It was 91 degrees on the court, but the players were determined to take their last home match of the season. #1 singles Gabe Naftoly and #2 singles Alex Penfold won in two sets, while #1 doubles Hayden McGovern and Jonny Civitarese also won in two sets. #3 singles Garret Lincoln fought a long match, losing the first set in a tie-breaker only to to come back and win the second set.

were challenged by the heat, with Lincoln losing the third-set tie-breaker. In #2 doubles, Peter Wodjak and Kia Jimenez went the same way, losing the first set, coming back to win the second, but finally being done in by the third set tie breaker. May 17 saw the team’s final triumph as it swept Landmark 5 to 0 in its last match of the season. Tallying it all up, at # 1 singles, Gabe Naftoly completed his season with a total of ten wins and one loss to first-place Concord Academy, allowing Berwick to place second in its league. Alex Penfold finished #2 singles with seven wins and four losses total. Hayden McGovern played #3 singles in some matches and #1 doubles in others, rotating with Jon Civitarese and Jonah Friedman, to contribute to a winning record of eight wins. Peter Wodjak and Garret Lincoln played #2 doubles most of the season with five wins, while Lincoln played singles three times, winning once. Wodjak was also paired with Kia Jimenez for three matches. Max Sidore, Ian MacLeod, Mateo Jimenez, Cam Bitter, and Oalin Viviathan also played in when necessary. Coach Kathy Verone says, “Thanks for a great season!”

KHS Seniors Host Marshy Field Trip
KENNEBUNKPORT Graduating seniors in Kennebunk High School’s Gulf of Maine field studies class hosted a community field trip on Sunday, May 15, at the Langsford Road ma rsh i n Ken nebu n k por t. Nearly 50 community members made their way out to the marsh to support the class and rotate among five student-led presentation areas to learn more about climate-change-related issues impacting the community. Over the past school year, students have been in the field
Leia Lowery, Director of Programs and Outreach at the Kennebunkport Conservation Trust and The Climate Initiative (TCI) adds, “This type of community-based education gives students problem-solving skills in real-life applications. Addressing issues students face in the places they live gives them agency and an ability to see that they can be a part of the solution to a problem that seems intangible on a global scale.” Com mu n it y at te ndees left the event with actionable, nature-based solutions to consider for issues in their own backyards. For example, two attendees who live on Goose Rocks Beach in Kennebunkport came to the event to learn
more about living shorelines, or natural barriers, that help guard against erosion and mimic local habitat conditions along shorelines. Students showcased natural fiber bags that, when filled with oyster shells and held down by logs, native plants, sand, and rocks, can reduce erosion and not disrupt the natural processes and functions of the ecosystem. Attendees left the marsh having been impressed by how passionate and knowledgeable these high school students were about the topics at hand. Learn more by viewing the end of year class video, created and produced by the students at www.bit.ly/ gomfsclassvideo22. Information provided by Meagan Cooper, TCI.

and in the classroom, researching and developing solutions to local climate issues such as erosion, sea level rise, and invasive species. Melissa Luetje, Kennebunk High School teacher and York County Teacher of the Year, reflects on this year’s class: “These students have done an impressive job weaving together their solid content knowledge, their personal experiences living in the towns of Kennebunk, Kennebunkport, and Arundel, and their hopes and fears around climate change
to explore practical, naturebased solutions. . . . This placebased, experiential-learning teaching model amplifies youth voices and gives them agency, so that no matter where they put down roots, they . . . will be an important part of an informed citizenry able and willing to move the needle toward lessening the negative impacts of climate change.” Seeing community support represented by such great numbers was inspiring and motivating for the students.

TOWN OF WELLS, MAINE PLANNING BOARD
MONDAY, MAY 23, 2022 @ 7:00 P.M.
The Wells Planning Board will hold a Public Hearing regarding the following proposal(s) during the Planning Board meeting on Monday, May 23, 2022, which begins at 7:00 P.M. and will be held at the Wells Town Hall. I. WESTHAVEN PRESERVE SUBDIVISION – Eastwood Estates, LLC, owner/applicant, Corner Post Land Surveying, Inc. agent. Preliminary Subdivision Application for a 15 lot/dwelling unit Residential Cluster Subdivision with private roadway and open space proposed on 17.25 acres of land. The property is located off Sanford Road and is within the Residential A District. Tax Map 60, Lot 10. ORDER FOR SERVICE BY PUBLICATION
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF MAINE No. 2:19-cv-00558-JAW ORDER ON MOTION FOR SERVICE BY PUBLICATION On December 9, 2019, U.S. Bank, National Association, Successor Trustee to Bank of America, N.A., as Successor to LaSalle Bank, N.A. as Trustee for the Merrill Lynch First Franklin Mortgage Loan Trust, Mortgage Loan Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2007-2 (U.S. Bank) filed a complaint against Hetty N. Merrill as Defendant and Capital One Bank (USA), N.A. (Capital One), as Party-in-Interest, claiming the right to foreclose upon a residence at 256 Hanscom Road, Eliot, Maine 03903 and proceeding on other legal theories as well. Compl. (ECF No. 1). Even though this case has been pending for over two years, U.S. Bank has been unsuccessful in serving Hetty Merrill with the complaint and summons. U.S. Bank twice moved this Court to approve service by publication. Mot. for Alternate Serv. via Publication upon Def., Hetty N. Merrill (ECF No. 21); Mot. for Alternate Serv. via Publication upon Def., Hetty N. Merrill (ECF No. 28). Each time, the Magistrate Judge rejected the motion without prejudice, finding that U.S. Bank failed to demonstrate whether Ms. Merrill had been deported to the Philippines, as U.S. Bank suspected, and therefore the Magistrate Judge concluded that U.S. Bank had not made a showing that “service cannot with due diligence be made by another prescribed method.” Order on Mot. for Serv. by Publication (ECF No. 22); Order on Mot. for Serv. by Publication (ECF No. 33). On December 2, 2021, the Court dismissed U.S. Bank’s complaint without prejudice, noting that “the foreclosure complaint has now been pending for almost two years without service of the complaint and summons on [Ms. Merrill] and without any evidence that U.S. Bank has made any significant progress ascertaining her whereabouts.” Order Dismissing Compl. Without Prejudice at 3 (ECF No. 34). On December 10, 2021, U.S. Bank filed a motion to vacate the judgment, citing “evidence that [Ms. Merrill] is in the greater Eliot Maine area and appears to have been evading service.” Pl.’s Mot. to Vacate J. and Reconsider Order of Dismissal Dated December 2, 2021 at 1 (ECF No. 36). U.S. Bank explained that it “attempted service upon the Defendant, Hetty N. Merrill in Maine and New Hampshire, in the greater Eliot area using the appropriate Sheriffs’ Departments and has performed extensive research into the Defendant’s whereabouts, including social media and attempts to contact the Defendant through relatives and in-laws.” Id. On April 4, 2022, the Court granted U.S. Bank’s request to vacate its December 2, 2021 order “without ruling on its anticipated motion for service by publication.” Order on Mot. to Vacate (ECF No. 37). On April 18, 2022, U.S. Bank filed its third motion for service by publication. Mot. for Alternative Service Via Publication Upon Def., Hetty N. Merrill (ECF No. 38). Based on its “detailed attempts to serve using both traditional means and available electronic public records,” U.S. Bank submits that Ms. Merrill’s “last known addresses are the subject property address, 256 Hanscom Road, Eliot, ME 03903 and 5C Raeder Drive, Stratham, NH.” Id. at 1. U.S. Bank maintains that Ms. Merrill “is evading service by usual means” and submits that service by publication “in newspapers of general circulation in Rockingham County, Stratham, New Hampshire, the New Hampshire Union Leader[,] and York County, Eliot, Maine, in the Weekly Sentinel” and by mailing to Ms. Merrill’s last known addresses “is reasonably calculated to provide notice.” Id. at 1-2. U.S. Bank attaches an affidavit recounting its numerous attempts to locate and serve Ms. Merrill, including recent efforts undertaken after the Court granted its motion to vacate on April 4, 2022. See id., Attach. 1, Aff. in Supp. of Mot. for Alternative Service Via Publication Upon Def., Hetty Merrill ¶¶ 1-45. In his October 20, 2021 order denying U.S. Bank’s second motion for service by publication, the Magistrate Judge stated that “[w]hile the Court is satisfied that Plaintiff has used due diligence in its attempt to serve Defendant by traditional means, the Court lacks the necessary information to order service by publication.” Order on Mot. for Service by Publication at 3 (ECF No. 33). The Magistrate Judge explained that “[b]efore the Court will order service by publication, Plaintiff must identify for the Court Defendant’s last known address and ‘a newspaper of general circulation in the county or municipality and state most reasonably calculated to provide actual notice’ of the action to Defendant.” Id. (quoting ME. R. CIV. P. 4(g)(2)). As U.S. Bank has now provided the necessary information in accordance with Maine Rule of Civil Procedure 4(g)(2) and has demonstrated that further efforts to serve Ms. Merrill by customary method are unlikely to be successful, the Court finds that alternate service by publication is now appropriate in this case. See Bank of N.Y. Mellon v. Johnson, No. 2-20-cv-00065-JAW, 2021 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 177971, *4-7 (D. Me. Sept. 16, 2021). The Court GRANTS U.S. Bank’s Motion for Alternative Service Via Publication (ECF No. 38). The Court ORDERS that within two weeks of the date of this Order, U.S Bank shall publish this Order, containing the Summons attached hereto, once a week for three (3) consecutive weeks in the Weekly Sentinel, a newspaper of general circulation in York County, Eliot, Maine, and in the New Hampshire Union Leader, a newspaper of general circulation in Rockingham County, Stratham, New Hampshire, last known counties of residence of the Defendant in accordance with Maine Rule of Civil Procedure 4(g). The Court further ORDERS U.S. Bank to send a copy of the complaint and summons by regular mail to Ms. Merrill’s last known addresses, 5C Raeder Drive, Stratham, NH 03885 and 256 Hanscom Road, Eliot, ME 03903. SO ORDERED. /s/ John A. Woodcock, Jr. UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE. Dated this 22nd day of April, 2022. SUMMONS TO THE DEFENDANT, HETTY N. MERRILL Plaintiff, Federal National Mortgage Association has begun a lawsuit in the United States District Court – District of Maine in order to foreclose a mortgage granted by Hetty N. Merrill and Robert E. Merrill, dated March 22, 2007, and recorded in the York County Registry of Deeds in Book Book 15114, Page 413. If you wish to oppose this lawsuit, you or your attorney must prepare and serve a written Answer to the Complaint within 21 days after the first publication of this Summons.

Boutique Handmade Clothing Business Launches KITTERY “Two years in the making, Zapapa Handmade is ready to take flight,” business owner and designer Johanna Thomas of Kittery Point announced recently. The official debut of Zapapa Handmade will be a two-day market-and-sample sale at the Kittery Community Center during Memorial Day weekend. Zapapa Handmade produces women’s clothing designed for two purposes: style and comfort; and features festive, vibrant, and artistic patterns in a “maximalist” spirit. “Zapapa Handmade allows women – if they so choose! – to move away from constricting fashion and artificial fabrics and towards clothing that is comfortable, beautiful, and long-lasting,” said Thomas. “The styles inevitably reflect my personal love of certain fashions, especially highend Mexican, Italian, and French designs that are normally out of price range – so Zapapa Handmade hopes to fill a gap, allowing women access to gorgeous clothing with the same quality of fabric and tailoring without the high price tag.” Everything Zapapa makes is from exclusively natural fabrics:
cotton, wool, and linen. Thomas works one-on-one with seamstresses in Maine and Mexico on the designs, and selects all the fabrics herself. Additionally, Zapapa Handmade uses virtually all “dead stock” or discontinued fabric and tries to use every scrap of fabric in an inventive way. This frugality is reflected in the price point: Zapapa keeps garments at reasonable prices compared to any other handmade, and even some mass-produced, clothing. “Zapapa is rooted in my mother’s inspiration,” Johanna said. “Like many mothers of her generation, she sewed our clothing as a means to save money, but she was also an absolute fabric maven. Her love of handmade items, and the joy she felt when working with fabrics, flowed through to me. When my mother died in 2020, it is not a coincidence that within months, I made the big step to leave a 30year career to create a business focused on handmade clothing and home goods. This endeavor is a way to honor my mother and all the love, beauty, and inspiration she shared with me throughout my life.” Zapapa Ha nd made is launching its website on June
1. The company does not have immediate plans for a brick-andmortar shop, although it will be readily available for both online and couture orders. Thomas also said there are plans for creative pop-up venues throughout the Seacoast area this summer and fall. For more information, contact zapapausa@gmail.com and visit Zapapa’s Instagram site @ zapapausa.
Shellfish Lab a Looker WELLS Construction of the Wells Shellfish Lab, which began November 2 of last year, continues at a steady pace. As seen in the photo, the atrium roof and the skylight donated to the building by Velux Corporation have been put on, giving the building what locals are calling an iconic look. The lab is located at the end of Harbor Road, next to the harbormaster’s office. According to the Facebook page of Wells Harbor, Maine, “Our dedicated volunteers, town staff, and Velux Corporation employees are making great progress. We still have several months of work to do.” The page goes on to explain
that, once completed, “junior lobstermen will be selling their catch to the public from the building, and we’ll also have a touch tank with starfish, small ocean fish, sea horses, sea urchins, etc.”
Motorcycle: Many people have waited next to motorcycles at stoplights. When the light turns green, the sound from motorcycles as they speed off can be especially loud, averaging about 90 decibels. That can contribute to gradual hearing loss over time. It’s important that motorcycle riders keep this in mind, especially if they don’t
wear helmets or wear helmets with inadequate ear protection. Common noises can have very harmful effects on people’s overall health. Protection against such noises can help people avoid hearing loss. The Weekly Sentinel does not endorse any products or services suggested by third-party sources.

Ideal for entertaining, it features high end appliances including a wolf gas-range built into an expansive granite working island and generous storage featuring custom soft-close cabinetry with glass door accents. Southerly exposure pours sunlight through sliding doors that access a 24’ x 16’ private deck with a newly installed canvas awning offering a shaded vantage point overlooking the in-ground gunite pool. A spacious interior 4 bedroom design includes a primary suite on the upper level and 2 offices, one on each floor for work-at-home options as well as an unfinished walk-up attic for the prospect of expansion. A portion of the acreage can be divided to create a second parcel offering additional opportunities to complete your family compound. Offered at $699,000
