BonAire! Returns with Seaside Flair OGUNQUIT Three years in the making, “BonAire!” celebrates Ogunquit’s 40th anniversary as its own town. Originally scheduled for June 2020 to celebrate the town’s founding in July 1980, the all-day street festival will take place June 11 and will be a giant celebration featuring free live music on a 40-foot-long stage on Shore Road, an artisan craft fair in the adjacent Jacobs Lot, and the transformation of a school playground into an impressive circus entertainment venue for the family. Headlining the musical acts
will be the The Mallett Brothers Band, a nationally touring altcountry/rock group based in Maine, with their set beginning at 4:30 p.m. Other music will begin at 10 a.m. with the Charles
Greenwood Trio, followed by sets from the stages of Ogunquit – featuring acts from Ogunquit Playhouse, Leavitt Theatre, The Front Porch, Jonathan’s, and MaineStreet – and The Dirt
Boys. The adjacent artisan craft fair will feature more than 50 vendors selling their locally made products. Shore Road, from its intersection with Route 1 to the entrance to Jacobs Lot, as well as Jacobs Lot itself, will be closed to vehicular traffic from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. to ensure the safety of all guests. Beginning at 11 a.m., the Ogunquit Village School playground will serve as the center for family-friendly activities, with roving circus performers including stilt walkers, hoopers, and wanders. Fairy storytelling, free caricatures and face painting,
Kind Kids music, and bubble art will also be featured. The grand finale will be given by Andrew Silver Circus Show with a performance, 4-5 p.m. The Perkins Cove section of Ogunquit will host a live lobster sale at noon – buy your lobsters from the lobstermen and women who caught them that day! Perkins Cove will also serve as the starting destination for the town’s self-guided art walk, beginning at the Ogunquit Museum of American Art and trailing its way up Shore Road and along Main Street.

The artwork will be included in the library’s online auction, June 10 through 18. A reception for the show will be held on June 7, 5-7 p.m. in the library’s upper level. Artists who have previ-
ously shown their work in the library were invited to contribute items to the auction, along with several artists whose outstanding work is new to library walls. The show will include works by, among others, Peter Agraf iotis, Nancy Davison, Ma r i ly n Ei mon, Ken Fellows, Brett X.

Pudding and Poetry KITTERY Maine’s sixth and newest Poet Laureate, Julia Bouwsma (pictured), will be featured in the first live “Rice Pudding Poetry Series” event in over two years at Rice Public Library. The event will take place June 9, 6-8 p.m. at the library on Walker Street in Kittery. The evening will begin with music by Kent Allyn, Jonathan Booth, and Agnes Charlesworth, and will include community readers John Shea, Valerie Fagin, Tony Lee, and Laurie Bilby. Refreshments will be served. Bouwsma lives off the grid in the mountains of western Maine, where she is a poet, homesteader, editor, teacher, and small-town librarian. She is the author of two poetry collections, “Midden” (Fordham
University Press, 2018) and “Work by Bloodlight” (Cider Press Review, 2017), both of which received Maine Literary Awards. Other honors include the Poet’s Out Loud Prize (2016 and 2017), the Cider Press Review Book Award (2015), and residency fellowships from the
Tom Glover. Members of the public will have the opportunity to bid on each piece, along with other treasures. Proceeds from this year’s auction will benefit the York Public Library Association (YPLA), the nonprofit organization that owns the library and provides roughly 35% of its annual budget. York Public Library has a long tradition of showing artwork by regional artists. Exhibits have included sculpture, fiber art, and traditional, abstract, Virginia Center for Creative Arts, Vermont Studio Center, Monson Arts (Monson, ME), and Annex Arts (Castine, ME). She currently serves as the director for Webster Library in Kingfield and teaches in the Creative Writing Department at the University of Maine at Farmington.

For most of Amend’s artistic career, she has instructed all ages and skill levels in various painting and drawing media, including Zentangle Meditative Drawing, for which she earned the distinction of Certified Zentangle Teacher. She instructed art in Connecticut school systems before moving to Maine some 12 years ago.

~ Arts & Entertainment ~ Opening Day at the Counting House Museum
Guest Curator Peter Cook demonstrating a spinning wheel.
SOUTH BERWICK T he Cou nt i n g Hou s e Museum opens for the season on Saturday, June 4, with extended hours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. A variety of textile demonstrations will be held at the nearby Counting House Park in celebration of the opening of the new textile exhibit “Material Culture: Domestic ClothMaking in 18th-Century New England.” The demonstrations and the museum admission are free to the public; donations are gratefully accepted. The Old Berwick Historical Society’s 2022 exhibit explores the material culture of early domestic textile arts and the tools used to produce linen and woolen cloth in rural New England homesteads. Material goods provide a window into standards of living, selfsufficiency, economic diversification, and the transition from frontier life to settled communities. The specialized tools used to process f lax and wool, and the spinning wheels and looms
on display, reveal the necessary individual skills and the collaborative family roles in creating yarn and cloth. Loans from the collection of guest curators Peter and Nancy Cook, as well as selections from the permanent collection of the Old Berwick Historical Society, ref lect the art of creating homespun textiles in common use throughout the 18th century. This exhibit will be on display for the 2022 season. A new permanent exhibit, “Berwick Begins,” is also open for this first time. The exhibit explores the founding of the Berwicks almost 400 years ago. The culmination of a quarter-century of local archaeology and historical research, it tells the story of lives uprooted and rebuilt on Berwick soil in its turbulent first century. T he Cou nt i n g Hou s e Museum is regularly open June through October on Saturday and Sunday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. More information is available by calling 207-384-0000 or visiting www.oldberwick.org.

Quintets and Sextets at OPA OGUNQUIT Since its inception 26 years ago, the Chamber Music Festival has been a very special occasion for Ogunquit Performing Arts (OPA), and, in recent years, has been an on-going partnership with Boston Chamber Music. The Boston-based players are selected and led by cellist Bruce Coppock. This year, the programming explores the lush, romantic, and powerful music of Johannes Brahms (1833-1897) and Antonín Dvorák (1841-1904). Dvorák (pictured on right), the first Bohemian composer to achieve world-wide recognition, also had great interest in Nativeand African-American music, and held the position of director for the National Conservatory of Music in New York in the 1890s. Twenty years earlier, he had made an unusually powerful impression on Brahms (left photo), who, by that time, was beginning to achieve international suc-
cess as a composer and pianist. Brahms’s own music was colored by that of the Romani musicians he heard in his youth in Hamburg and later in Vienna. Both composers’ music is characterized by rich harmonies, bold and yearning melodies, and the frequent use of potent, duple-against-triple rhythmic gestures. The festival’s first concert took place on June 3 and featured the Piano Quartet in E-flat Major, op. 87, by Dvorák, and the Piano Quartet in G Minor, op. 25, by Brahms. Both works are scored for piano, violin,
WS
viola, and cello, performed here by Randall Hodgkinson, Matthew Vera, Jason Fisher, and Bruce Coppock. The second concert will be on Friday, June 10, and will feature Dvorák’s String Sextet in A Major, op. 48, and Brahms’s String Sextet in G Major, op. 36. That performance will feature Matthew Vera, violin, Amy Sims, violin, Samuel Kelder, viola, Daniel Orsen, viola, Velleda Miragias, cello, and Bruce Coppock, cello.

Meet Sarah and Annie at the Jewett House
SOUTH BERWICK Historic New England’s Sa ra h Or ne Jewet t House Museum will celebrate Pride Month at “Pride Garden Party,” Friday, June 10, 4-6 p.m. In addition to light refreshments, music, garden cocktails, and lawn games, the event will fea-
ture regional actors Amy Desrosiers and Maggie O’Neill portraying Sarah Orne Jewett and her partner Annie Fields. In 2018, Historic New England (HNE) launched a reinterpretation of Sarah Orne Jewett House Museum to focus on Jewett’s life, her work, and
her decades-long relationship with Fields. “Sarah Orne Jewett carved out a life of freedom for herself in Victorian America and found the love of her life in Annie Fields,” HNE South Berwick Site Manager Marilyn Keith Daly said. “We are delighted at partnering with Equality Maine and Seacoast Outright in honoring Pride Month at [the museum].” Seacoast Outright Executive Director Hershey Hirschkop added, “Remembering (and, at this event, reenacting!) our history, both to remind folks that we’ve always been here and also to be able to look back and see the progress we’ve made, is so important right now. . . . let’s celebrate our forebears as well as our lives today.” The event will also offer appetizers catered by Julie Reed Dunfey and live music by Cayt Norris and Jim Prendergast. Pre-registration is required. Tickets are $20, $10 for SAGE and HNE members. A limited number of no-cost tickets are available for those wishing to attend who find the admission price prohibitive.

~ Ask The Computer Pro ~ Dear Computer Pro, My computer has started to run terribly slow lately. How can I tell if I have a virus? Could it be something else? Thank you, Shirley Dear Shirley, A slow computer could be the result of many things, including a virus. Unfortunately, it is not always easy to determine whether it is a virus or simply a maintenance issue. There are some telltale signs that you are, in fact, infected with a virus. Symptoms such as unexpected pop-ups, new applications (that you did not install) suddenly appearing out of nowhere, frequent program or complete system crashes, slow internet browsing or constant redirects, are all examples of behaviors I would expect with an infected computer. If you have an antivirus program installed and still got infected, you are kind of up the proverbial creek without a paddle! Many of the infections today will disable the already ineffective antivirus programs or cloak themselves so they are not detected. This is where
some of the better security programs like Webroot (www. amzn.to/3GAh2P8) do a much better job at keeping you safe in the first place! Unfortunately, many of the viruses out there will detect when you try to install a security program after the fact and will prevent it from installing. If this is the case, I would recommend you bring it to a professional to get it cleaned up and then load a good security program for you! If nothing seems out of the norm except for overall system performance, it could be anything from updates trying to install in the background to your hard drive failing. I always tell folks to be sure to disable “Sleep” so that your computer stays on all the time. If you have a laptop, that means also leaving it open, as closing the lid typically forces it to sleep. By leaving it on all the time, Windows can do its updates in the background while you are not using your computer (often overnight) and will reboot on its own when it needs to. If it is the hard drive that is beginning to fail, please bring it to a professional to get
a new solid-state drive (SSD) installed as soon as you can before the drive suffers an unrecoverable error! This way, your old drive can either be cloned to the new SSD or, at a minimum, your data transferred over to the new SSD. Good luck! Matt Dear Computer Pro, I have years and years and years of pictures and files on my old desktop computer, and I am concerned that I do not have a reliable backup. Do you have a recommended backup software or plan? Thanks, Paul Dear Paul, I am so glad that you asked this question, as this is something that often gets overlooked, and then one day folks lose everything! W hen tal k ing about backup strategies, I always tell customers to follow the “3-2-1 Rule”: always maintain three copies of your data in two separate locations with one of them being off-site. The easiest implementation of this would be by using a backup software like Acronis Cyber Protect Home Of f ice (w w w.am zn.

to/3N64W2L) along with an external hard drive like the Seagate Portable 4TB (www. amzn.to/3t5jeJ6). With this combination, you would use Acronis to backup your entire machine to the 4TB external drive and backup to the cloud. In my opinion, this is the safest way. Another method that has become extremely popular in the past few years is simply buying Microsoft Office Personal (www.amzn.to/3t89gGV) and utilizing the 1TB of OneDrive cloud storage for your backups. While this does not adhere to the 3-2-1 Rule, it does synchronize a copy of all your data in the cloud. My biggest concern with this method is if you are hit with a ransomware attack, your files in the cloud could also be encrypted. Microsoft claims their OneDrive service has features to protect against ransomware attacks, but I would rather be safe than sorry. Good luck! Matt Dear Computer Pro, The battery in my laptop does not hold a charge for more than 10 -15 minutes. Is this something that can easily be replaced? Thanks, Sam Dear Sam, Nearly all laptop batteries can be replaced, but some are definitely easier than others. Prior to a few years ago, most laptops came with a battery that was easily removed with a button or two on the bottom of the laptop. To replace it, you would just pop it off, grab the model number off the battery,
and Google that part number to find a replacement. When the new one arrived, you would simply swap it out for the old one and go through a calibration cycle and you were good to go. Today, to make laptops thinner and thinner (and less repairable), most of the batteries are actually internal and are not so easily replaced. To replace one of these, you need to remove the bottom cover of the laptop to find the model number of the battery. Then you end up putting it all back together again while you wait for the battery to arrive. Once the new one arrives, you would need to disassemble the laptop again to swap the batteries out. In some devices, the batteries are adhered to the inside of the laptop which makes replacing them even more difficult. If you have an internal battery, I suggest bringing it to a professional. If you do decide to attack it on your own, just be incredibly careful. The little tabs that hold the case together break easily, and the lithium batteries can be quite dangerous if not mishandled. Do not throw any batteries in the trash. Either bring them to your local transfer station or to a nearby Best Buy or Home Depot. Both of these retailers recycle laptop batteries at no cost. Good luck! Matt I nterested i n lea r n i ng more? Matt Gallant is owner of Oasis IT in South Berwick.

Berwick P&R Launches Mentoring Program BERWICK The Ber wick Depar tment of Parks and Recreation announced recently that it is launching Building Bridges, a youth mentoring program that is designed to reduce and prevent opioid misuse among youth in Berwick through evidence-based mentoring practices. The program is supported by the National Recreation and Park Association with funding through the Mentoring Op-
portunities for Youth Initiative within the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, Office of Justice Program, US Department of Justice. “Data show that youth in Berwick and MSAD60 are experiencing higher than average rates of substance misuse, suicidal ideation, and depression,” explains Angela O’Connor, Director of Berwick Parks and Recreation. “Mentors can help kids feel valued and understood,

expose them to new experiences, and empower them to make good decisions. We want to give more kids in our community access to supportive adults who can help them pursue their interests and use their talents to contribute to our community.” According to a 2005 study by the Search Institute, young people with mentors are 46% less likely than peers to start using drugs, and 55% more likely than peers to enroll in college. Research further shows that positive relationships with supportive adults help youth develop the assets, such as honesty and motivation, that lead to better life outcomes. The more assets individuals have the less
likely they are to engage in risky behaviors. Berwick Parks and Recreation has partnered with Pinetree Institute of Eliot, and Portsmouth, NH, to recruit, train and support both the mentors and program participants in the Building Bridges program. “We are excited to be involved in this program because it is such a great example of a community taking action to build a strong web of relationships around kids,” stated Patrice Baker, Director of Prevention Programs at Pinetree Institute. “We know that this is what promotes resilience and helps kids to thrive. The opportunity to spend time one-on-one with a young person, playing, talking, and having adventures together also benefits the adult

PTSD Awareness This June STATEWIDE National PTSD Awareness Month is observed in June, and it ushers in an array of awareness campaigns run for the benefit of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) survivors. PTSD occurs in people after they have experienced a particularly traumatic event like war, violent physical/sexual/verbal assault, or accident. Symptoms include depression, anxiety, nightmares, paranoia, insomnia, and disturbing thoughts. Many people recover from PTSD after a few days, weeks, or months; yet, for others, the road to recovery might take a year or more. This mental disorder is treatable, but the lack
of knowledge around it and the stigma attached to seeking mental help result in many choosing to ignore the problem and suffering through it. Some studies suggest that suicide risk is higher among trauma victims because of PTSD symptoms. For instance, a study from the National Comorbidity Survey, a national representative sample, indicated that PTSD was significantly associated with suicidal ideation or attempts. A later study by the Canadian Community Health Survey also found that respondents with PTSD were at a higher risk for suicide attempts: among people who have had a diagnosis of PTSD at some point in their lifetime, approximately 27% have also attempted suicide. Another large-scale survey found that 24% of military personnel diagnosed with PTSD had experienced suicidal thinking within the past year.
mentors in so many ways.” Building Bridges Mentoring Program envisions a community in which every young person has a positive role model and supportive adult who believes in them, empowers them to shape their own lives, and guides them to contribute purposefully to the world around them. Students attending the Knowlton School in Berwick are eligible to become mentees. Parents/caregivers can contact the school or the Parks and Recreation Department at aoconnor@berwickmaine.org to sign up. Adults over the age of 18 who want to learn more or apply to become a mentor can email aoconnor@berwickmaine.org or call 207-698-1101 x 117. Additionally, according to the Journal of Emergency Services, there is a silent crisis happening worldwide among first responders who are quietly suffering because of the stigma surrounding the utilization of mental health services. First responders are approximately ten times more likely to have suicidal ideations and/or attempt suicide compared to the CDC national average.(Information provided by The Jason Foundation.) The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, 1-800-273TALK (8255), is a free resource, available 24 hours a day for anyone who is in suicidal crisis or emotional distress. The crisis text line is a free, 24/7 service where trained, compassionate crisis counselors give confidential support. Text “Jason” to 741741 to speak with a counselor.

Health & Fitness "We Got This, Kids" Shares Local Experience SOUTH BERWICK In September of 2019, at the age of 52, Hew Hampshire journal author Andy Marsjanik (pictured) took his life. He had been struggling with alcoholism and depression for decades. Some years before his death, he had stopped drinking, but decided to treat his recovery and continuing depression on his own through journaling. Tragically, it wasn’t enough. After his death, South Berwick resident and author Jeff Deck partnered with Andy’s sister, Amy Marsjanik Law, to organize and finish Andy’s journal entries. They were published and released in February of this year under the title “We Got This, Kids: A Real-Time and Raw Glimpse of Alcoholism, Depression, and Loss During a Search for More Sunrises.” The press release from the New Hampshire Writers’ Project tells the story: We hear statistics about substance misuse, mental illness, and suicide routinely. Perhaps so routinely that people sometimes become numb and stop listening. Each May, through Mental Health Awareness Month, we are reminded of the breadth and depth of these issues that can cause unimaginable agony and loss for individuals, family members, and friends. We have recently seen that pain on the faces of sisters Wynnona and Ashley Judd. Gone in an instant, beloved country music legend, and their mother, Naomi Judd, lost her battle and life to mental illness. And people paid attention. The new book, “We Got This, Kids,” is also attentionworthy, although it is not about a person of celebrity. Rather, it is the story of an ordinary guy, Andy Marsjanik. Andy was a man who lived alone, worked alone, and, for over four decades, drank alone. He was by no means friendless. Everyone in his small town knew him, and most loved him. Andy had a quick tongue-in-cheek wit, a heart of gold and a mean golf game. He had many qualities that allowed folks to overlook the drinking. But Andy couldn’t overlook it himself. After years of struggling with alcohol dependency, untreated depression, and hitting rock bottom twice, Andy found sobriety that he kept for nearly three years. But, in typical Andy style, he decided to manage recovery alone,
too. His self-prescribed treatment was journaling. He began journaling about his lifetime of alcohol misuse, dependency, and recovery. Andy was writing in real time about what he was going through and what it felt like. His ultimate goal was to
organize his entries and format them as a book. He said that if “he helped even one person, it would be worth the effort.” Andy died by suicide before he had the chance to complete his mission. He wanted to continue living, in his moments of
clearest thought and intent. But in the dark, small hours, his mind, under the siege of depression, told him terrible lies. His death was not the end of his story. Through the persistence of his grieving sister, Amy Law, and editor Jeff Deck the book was completed. Deck orgaSee JOURNAL on page 20 . . .

We are also still searching for the right foster home for a darling young kitty named Pumpkin. This boy needs someone who can give medication and has no other cats. He is a beautiful, petite one-year-old kitten who has several medical issues that require extra attention and love. He requires medications to treat his thyroid and Lyme disease issues. Pumpkin was dealt a severe blow in his kitten year and arrived to us after being found alone in the woods.

However, his health isn’t secure yet, and he needs to move into a home immediately where he can be loved and cared for. Our fondest wish would be for the right

Traip Academy Co-Valedictorians and Latin Honors
KITTERY John Drisko, Principal of R. W. Traip Academy, is pleased to announce the co-valedictorians and latin honor students from the Class of 2022. Commencement exercises are slated for Friday, June 10 at 5 p.m. at Fort Foster Park in Kittery. If weather does not permit the outdoor venue, the event will be held in the academy gymnasium. The address will be given by Sonny Young, a 1979 Traip Academy graduate with a career in sports broadcasting at Voice of America. A ticket is required for admission to the ceremony. Young fondly remembers his days as a member of the academy’s baseball, basketball, and cross-country running teams, and grew up listening to a lot of sports call-in shows and live sports broadcasts. During his 34year career, Young has covered many of the world’s most popular sporting events, including the Olympics, the FIFA World Cup soccer tournament, and the World Athletic Championships.

2023 in order to travel across the United States as a participant with WWOOF (World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms).

Allen Sworn In as New Postmaster SOUTH BERWICK Postmaster Anthony Allen was among 140 area postmasters sworn in to office on May 25 by Postmaster General Louis DeJoy in a ceremony held in Manchester, NH. Allen was sworn in as Postmaster of South Berwick and promises to bring a focused approach on improving service reliability, consistency, affordability, dependability, and sound financial management. According to the US Postal Service (USPS), “The title of Postmaster is only granted to those employees who demonstrate the highest level of commitment to the Postal Service
and to the millions of customers we serve nationwide. They oversee all aspects of local retail and delivery operations for the Postal Service in your community.” Postmaster Allen says he looks forward to meeting with local residents and businesses to ensure that their mailing and shipping needs are being met and that the trust placed in the USPS by all of its customers is being earned. The USPS generally receives no tax dollars for operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage, products, and services to fund its operations.
Great Works School Learns on Great Works Land SOUTH BERWICK A Great Works School (GWS) fifth-grade class, taught by Lori Girouard, took part in a pilot community science project April and May, working with the Great Works Regional Land Trust (GWRLT). The students conducted a vernal pool community science challenge, pursuing several research questions including what the distribution of caddisf lies, fairy shrimp, and amphibian species in vernal pools in the Northeast is; and how this distribution will change as the climate warms. Vernal pools contribute to healthy forest ecosystems. The species that rely on vernal pools are an important part of the forest food web. Students learned where to find these speon the community playground project. Aili has an incredible talent for art and music and was a member of The Mill (A creative interdisciplinary student-driven club for artistic exploration).

The school’s elementary gifted/talented specialist, Grace Jacobs, initiated the participation of GWS in this pilot. Gulf of Maine Research Institute (GMRI) and GWRLT staff led teacher workshops and training to prepare the classes for this work. The GMRI research was funded by a grant by the John M. Hopwood Charitable Trust, and GWS students were thrilled to be part of the research, meeting via Zoom with scientists exploring current topics.

JOURNAL from page 15 nized Andy’s journal entries and conducted interviews of Andy’s friends, family, and one-time fiancé to complete the memoir. Andy’s writing was minimally altered, for context only. His narrative infuses the book with an honesty, urgency, and power that are rare to find. And the addition of the voices of his loved ones add even more dimension to his struggle.

Inflation Discussed in Podcast Funding for Airport Improvements
WASHINGTON, DC The May episode of Senator King’s “Inside Maine” podcast was recently released, in which the senator and his guests discussed policy solutions that could address the rising costs facing Maine people. Senator King was joined by Maine Chamber of Commerce President Dana Connors and University of Maine economist Travis Blackmer. The conversation highlighted the difficulties inflation has caused Maine families and businesses, break down the driving factors behind rising prices, and talk about what Congress and President Joe Biden can do to address the pressing issue. “From gas prices to groceries, the rising cost of living
is one of the most pressing issues facing Maine people and businesses,” said Senator King. “Congress, the White House, and the Federal Reserve have a responsibility to work together to tamp down the causes of this inflation while keeping our economy strong and employment up. It was a pleasure to sit down with my dear friend Dana Connors and UMaine economist Travis Blackmer to discuss what’s behind rising prices and learn more about how we can address this challenge. I look forward to their continued work and partnership on this issue.” Dana Connors is the CEO and President of the Maine State Chamber of Commerce where he oversees a broad range of activities, including advocacy efforts, economic and workforce
Help for Missed Mortgage Payments STATEWIDE Housing relief is essential for struggling homeowners in today’s economy. Roughly 7.7 million distressed households received a forbearance during the pandemic, enabling them to pause or reduce mortgage payments to stay in their homes. The majority have already resumed their regular mortgage payments, and the nation has averted a repeat of the housing crisis it endured during the Great Recession. It’s now time for the roughly one million households still in forbearance to contact their mortgage servicers and work out plans to resume mortgage payments. To help, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB)

Throughout the state, airports play a critical role not only in carrying residents and visitors, but also in facilitating medical services for those in rural communities in emergencies when seconds count,” Collins said. “This significant investment will allow airports across our state to make much-needed improvements to their infrastructure, improving the safety and efficiency of operations.” Airports will use this funding to support various projects, such as improvements of runways and taxiways.

Robert Wlodyka, 75 WELLS – Robert Wlodyka, of Saugus, MA, passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, May 21, 2022. He was the loving husband of Barbara (Tedder) Wlodyka, with whom he shared 45 years of marriage. Born and raised in Lawrence, MA, he was the son of the late John J. Wlodyka Sr. and the late Josephine (Jaskot) Wlodyka. Robert, or more affectionately known to most as Bob or Bobby, was an alumnus of Northern Essex Community College, Salem State College, and Lowell Technological Institute. Although he held various jobs over the years, his long-time career
was in advertising for multiple local newspapers (“Stoneham Independent,” “Woburn Daily Times Chronicle,” “North Reading Transcript,” “Lynnfield Villager”). He was a veteran of the US Air Force, having honorably served as an electronics technician, and a lifetime member of the DAV Chapter 85 in Malden, MA. Proud father of his three boys, he also loved animals of all kinds, sitting on the back deck in the early morning to watch and listen to the birds, all kinds of sports, listening to all types of music, photography, yard sales and flea markets, camping, deep sea and freshwater fishing, vintage cars and car shows (especially at Kitty’s Restaurant in North Reading, MA), the beach (particularly Plum Island and Salisbury, MA), loved going to the shows at Ogunquit Playhouse, and was an avid reader. Robert is survived by his loving sons, Michael, of Texas, Brian and his wife Kara, of Lowell, MA, and James, of Saugus, MA. He was the brother of Carol Brennan and the late Mark Wilcox of Wells, and was predeceased by his brother, John J. Wlodyka Jr. and his late wife,
Anna Wlodyka, of Methuen, MA. Robert also leaves behind his nephew, Daniel Brennan, nieces Susan MacGregor and Michelle Kurchian, and inlaws Carl and Betty Tedder, of Saugus, MA, Lori and Michael Chapman, of Florida, and the late James Tedder and his wife Toni, of Saugus, MA; as well as nieces, great-nephews, and great-nieces, and his fur grandchildren, Teddy, Gemini, Toby, and Keanu. In lieu of f lowers, donations are requested to be sent in memory of Robert to: MSPCA at Nevins Farm, 400 Broadway, Methuen, MA 01844 (www. mspca.org/adoption-centers/ nevins-farm-adoption-center). Relatives and friends were invited to attend visiting hours in the Bisbee-Porcella Funeral Home, 549 Lincoln Ave., Saugus, MA, on Wednesday, June 1, 4-8 p.m. A funeral was held at the funeral home on Thursday, June 2, at 9 a.m., followed by a funeral mass at Blessed Sacrament Church, 14 Summer Street, Saugus, MA at 10 a.m. There will be a Celebration of Life for Robert at a later date. • • • • • • • • • •

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

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.

on September 18. St. Peter’s was built in 1897 with funds from a bequest by Nannie Dunlap Conorroe, widow of George Conorroe. Sited on Christian Hill so that a cross would be visible to sailors at sea, the stone church soon became well known to sailors and historians. Conorroe is also responsible for the library in Ogunquit, the architecture of which is similar to that of the church. Everyone is welcome each Sunday for worship and an enjoyable social hour with food, drinks, and sweets in the adjacent rectory on the ocean’s edge. For more information, email Michael L.

though her deafness was nearly complete, she received a scholarship and began piano lessons. Martinis were her drink, and, after Francis, her love was Frank Sinatra. His music was played in their house enough so that her children knew all of the words. She even convinced her kids that their father looked like Frank Sinatra. After 40 years of marriage, her beloved Francis died in 1985. During this time, Shirley worked in the Wells High School cafeteria, where she made many longtime friends. She was also very proud of volunteering at York Hospital for over 20 years. Besides her parents, she was predeceased by four of her

~ Classifieds & News ~ Keep Your String Trimmer Running Strong The gas-powered string trimmer, also known as a weed whacker by many people, is a common yard and garden tool. Because they are less complicated than a lawn mower, many people do not know that string trimmers can benefit from a tune-up. The Outdoor Power Equipment Institute shares seven tips to help you tune up your string trimmer for spring and summer use: Clean and visually inspect your equipment. Wipe it down with a rag or cloth and remove any dirt or debris. Look for loose screws, missing parts, or signs of damage. Remove and inspect the spark plug. If the electrode looks worn replace the spark plug. Whether you install a brand new spark plug or plan to use the old one, use a spark plug gapping tool to set the proper gap. Information on this should be found in your owner’s manual. Inspect and replace the line. Pull the trimmer line spool out and remove any leftover line from last season. The line can get brittle over time. Rewind with new line and reinstall the head. Examine the air f ilter. Remove the cover and the air filter. Inspect the air filter carefully not only to see if it needs to be cleaned, but also to make sure it does not have any holes in it. Holes will let dirt enter the See TRIMMER on page 30 . . .

Lin Wins Big in Trig SOUTH BERWICK With a perfect score and a time of 49 minutes, sophomore Kayley Lin of South Berwick was named Marshwood High School Trig-Star for 2022 at the Trig-Star competition held on May 9. In addition to being awarded a $100 prize, her score will now be compared with other Maine students who competed in the same competition in hopes of being declared the state winner. If she wins the state competition, Lin will move on to the national Trig-Star contest in June, in which awards will be presented to first-, second-, and third-place winners.
Trig-Star is an annual high school mathematics competition sponsored by the National Society of Professional Surveyors. The local sponsor was Ambit Engineering, of Portsmouth, NH. The goal of the competition is to recognize and challenge the best students of mathematics from among school districts across the United States through the practical application of trigonometry. The contest consists of solving real-world problems encountered in the survey field. It is intended to show students that their mastery of mathematics can be put to use in a challenging and exciting career.
. . . PAYMENTS from page 21 cause of financial hardship related to COVID-19 may have options for repaying their missed payments. A payment deferral or partial claim allows you to wait to make up unpaid balances until the end of your loan or when you sell or refinance your home. A loan modification allows you to change loan terms that might lower your monthly payments or extend the length of your loan. A lump sum repayment means you pay the total amount of skipped payments to your mortgage servicer. Repayment plans add the amount you missed to your regular mortgage payments. Not all options are available to everyone, and will vary based on your loan, servicer, and financial situation. Generally, you won’t have to repay missed mortgage payments in a lump sum. In most cases, if your mortgage is federally backed, which includes loans from Fannie Mae, Freddie

ACCOUNTING
Mac, FHA, VA or USDA, your mortgage servicer cannot require you to pay back your missed payments as a lump sum repayment. Many other mortgages do not require a lump sum repayment. If you only hear about a lump sum repayment, ask about other options. “Millions of homeowners have been negatively impacted by the pandemic, but there are steps you can take to seek assistance,” said CFPB Director Rohit Chopra. “If you are having a hard time making mortgage payments or facing foreclosure, you may have relief options depending on the type of mortgage you have. There is still time to act if help is needed, but you must act soon.” For help talking with your mortgage servicer, understanding your options, or if you are worried about your options, contact a HUD-approved counseling agency in your area by visiting www.consumerfinance.gov/ find-a-housing-counselor.

. . . TRIMMER from page 27 engine, causing damage. Check the controls. Start with the on/off switch. It should click on and off. Pull the starter rope all the way out and check for cuts, nicks, and frayed spots. Replace it if you see any signs of damage. Test the throttle for smooth operation and check the choke and primer bulb. Drain any old fuel. If you did not empty your trimmer’s fuel tank in the fall, drain your tank now. Most fuels today contain ethanol which can phase separate into alcohol and water and cause damage to your mower’s engine. Follow safe handling procedures and dispose of old fuel properly. Protect your power by using the right fuel. Always use E10 or less fuel. It is illegal to use any fuel with more than 10 percent ethanol in any outdoor power equipment, including your string trimmer. Higher ethanol blended fuels may damage or destroy outdoor power equipment. For more information about safe fueling, go to www.lookbeforeyoupump. com. By following these tips before you start using your string trimmer this spring, you will protect your investment. For more information, visit www.opei.org.

After 40+ years owning and operating a large heavy electrical construction company, Ken stepped aside to pursue his interest in real estate. During his career, Ken negotiated very complex arrangements with local, state and federal agencies, as well as banks, and bonding companies. His skill and expertise, coupled with an attitude that “nothing’s out of reach”, ensures Ken’s clients timely and positive results. As a former employer, Ken admittedly never gave an individual a job, but an opportunity. Adhering to the same philosophy, Ken strives to bring opportunity to his clients, followed by a successful transaction.
Beth has proudly called Maine home for over 40 years. She grew up here and raised her two children in Southern Maine. She developed an interest in real estate from her parents, who have bought and sold many properties across New England.
Tracy was born and raised in northern Maine, spent numerous years in central Maine, then navigated and settled in southern Maine with her husband to be, Robert, who has been a local landscaper in York for many years. Therefore, she’s no stranger to moving and knows firsthand how frustrating the homebuying process can be.
After living in Wells, Maine, for over 20 years, Ken has relocated to York, where he resides with his wife Donna.
With 20 years of experience in hospitality management, Beth brings strong customer service skills, a positive attitude, and tenacious drive to the Century 21 family. Beth lives in Wells, Maine, with her husband and their two dogs. In her off time, you’ll find her hiking, golfing, or dining out. Reach out to her if you’re looking to buy or sell in Maine or New Hampshire. She’s here to make the process stress free for her clients.
