Whipple’s Reading, Kittery’s Unique Independence Day Tradition

KITTERY -

Maine’s oldest tow n is once again kicking off area Independence Day celebrations this year with its 5th annual event, known as Whipple’s Reading. This year’s ceremony will take place at 9 a.m. on Saturday, June 24, at Thresher Memorial Park beside Kittery Town Hall. It will feature drills by the Piscataqua Rangers Junior Fife and Drum Corps, who will be decked out in Revolutionary War-era military uniforms. Current sailors from the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard Color Guard will lead the procession. The highlight of the annual event is the return of hometown hero Gen. William

Whipple, who will give a public reading of the Declaration of Independence he signed way back in 1776.

Only 42 towns and cities across the United States can claim a native son as one of the 56 signers of the Declaration, and Kittery is one of them. Whipple is the only native Mainer to sign the historic document.

Born in Kittery in 1730, William Whipple grew up in the home which still stands just outside the back gate of Portsmouth Naval Shipyard. At an age when most of his future colleagues in Congress were pursuing higher learning in the classroom, Whipple chose a life of adventure on

the high seas, shipping out as a cabin boy in his youth.

He went on to become a merchant sea captain, a brigadier general in the New Hampshire militia during the Revolutionary War, and a member of the Second Continental Congress. By the age of 30 he had earned enough of a fortune to leave the sea behind and settle down across the Piscataqua River in Portsmouth.

He married his first cousin, Katharine Moffatt, and went into business with two brothers as a successful merchant. The house he shared with his wife, now known as the Moffatt-Ladd House, i s one of Portsmouth’s

most celebrated historic homes. His sword is still on display there.

The home also features a huge sprawling horse chestnut tree which was planted by Whipple and his slave, Prince, in 1776, upon their return from Philadelphia after Whipple signed the Declaration of Independence.

The former sea captain continued to be a man of action even while serving as a member of Congress. Having previously served as a colonel in Portsmouth’s local militia, he was commissioned a brigadier general in charge of New Hampshire militia troops in 1777.

He took part in the pivotal Battle of Saratoga, and helped to negotiate the British surrender. After the victory, Whipple was given the honor of escorting the defeated British General, “Gentleman Johnny” Burgoyne, back to Boston to be deported back to England. Whipple also led troops in the Battle of Rhode Island in 1778.

Whipple is reported to have carried a cargo of slaves on at least one voyage during his days as a seaman, and coowned a ship with his brother Joseph, which brought slaves to America on another occasion. But he appears to have evolved in his opinion during the course of the Revolution. Whipple eventually freed his own slave, Prince, and once wrote in a letter during the war: “A recommendation is gone thither for raising some regiments of Blacks. This will

I suppose lay a foundation for the emancipation of those poor wreches [sic] in that Country, & I hope be the means of dispensing the Blessings of freedom to all the Human Race in America.” Whipple eventually left Congress in 1779, and also stepped away from his military duties as a result of poor health. However, he served as an associate justice of the New Hampshire Superior Court, riding his circuit on horseback. He died in 1785, living just long enough to see America win its independence. But at least for one day, his spirit will live on in body as well, as a reenactor returns to the

Sara Ann Brewster, 83

SOUTH BERWICK – Sara Ann Brewster, 83, of South Berwick, passed away peacefully surrounded by her daughters on June 6, 2023, at Wentworth Douglass Hospital.

Born on April 10, 1940, in Rochester, NH, she was the daughter of Edward O’Neil and Ethel (Remick) O’Neil.

Sara grew up in South Berwick and was a graduate of South Berwick Academy. She held various jobs throughout her life including the South Berwick Shoe Shop, Sawyer Mills, Clarostat, and retired from the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard after many years. She was happily married to Robert for over 60 years and they raised two daughters, Linda and Laurie. Sara enjoyed traveling; her favorite place to visit was Nashville, TN. She also enjoyed gambling, and took many trips to Foxwoods with Robert. When her grandsons, Seth and Adam, were born, they were her whole world. Sara loved spending time with and spoiling them! Whenever they needed her, she was there.

Sara is survived by her loving husband Robert Brewster; daughters, Linda Merrill and Laurie Bridges, along with son-in-law Dustin and two grandchildren, Seth and Adam Bridges; and many nieces and nephews.

A private graveside service will be held at Woodlawn Cemetery in South Berwick on Friday, June 16.

Mark C. Duckworth, 63

NORTH BERWICK –Mark C. Duckworth, 63, of Beech Ridge Road, passed away unexpectedly at his home on June 7, 2023.

He was born September 29, 1959, one of eight children born to Earle and Ruth (Hobart) Duckworth.

Mark graduated from Sanford High School before starting a career with Hussey Manufacturing as a welder, then advancing his career to Pratt & Whitney and Vishay Sprague as a CNC machinist for nearly 20 years. He was currently employed by Portsmouth Naval Shipyard for over 22 years as a warehouse coordinator. Mark was a proud American who deeply loved his family and his country.

He and his wife, Carol, built their home in North Berwick in 1982, where they raised their two sons, Derek and Cody, who Mark fondly referred to as Blondie and Junior. Mark taught his sons a strong work ethic, to be kind and respect others, and the love for animals. He was very proud of the men they have become.

Mark could always be found from August to June near the wood stove, no matter the temperature outside. During warmer months, you would find him sitting in the garage with a cup of coffee, but oftentimes it was a PBR. At Christmastime he always insisted on viewing the classic movie, “It’s a Wonderful

~

Life,” to his family’s dismay.

Mark will be remembered fondly by his family and friends as an old soul who was a quiet, keep-to-himself kind of guy. However, he was quirky, blunt, and had a theatrical sense of humor. His friends and family always knew where they stood with him.

Early in life, Mark and his father grew a special bond over their love for animals. Mark loved his livestock, showing his cattle at the local fairs for nearly five decades, and later sharing his experience and knowledge with his sons. Outside of farming, Mark had a knack for both local and American History alongside music from the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s, and would quiz people, with the main intention of stumping them.

Although Mark may not have mastered the use of his iPhone or laptop, he would be quick to say he “Googled” it. He loved to coin his own names for things such as “Gubah,” (for the one Uber ride he took in Boston) or “Facehead,” in place of Facebook. Sometimes his only response was “’Magine,” short for “Imagine,” which serendipitously became the camper model he and Carol enjoyed for several years together at the fairs. He also had an old saying, “Happy as a clam,” which he’d have to explain the meaning behind.

Mark was a proud member of Yorkshire Lodge #179 A.F. & A.M. of North Berwick. Each year, he would volunteer his time to help with the Seacoast Christmas Caravan toy drive program. He was predeceased by his parents, Earle and Ruth, brother Robert Duckworth, and brotherin-law Mark Bubar. He will be forever missed by his wife and soulmate of 41 years, Carol Duckworth of North Berwick; two sons, Derek Duckworth and fiancé Kerry Merz of Eliot, and Cody Duckworth and husband Tim Dudgeon of Boston, MA; three brothers, John Duckworth and wife Linda of Lebanon, Glenn Duckworth of South Portland, and James Duckworth

Celebrate Father’s Day with Home-Cooked Dinner Ideas

NATIONWIDE -

Father’s Day is a perfect occasion to show appreciation for dad and all he does for the family. And what better way to celebrate than by preparing a mouthwatering dinner for dad right at home? Whether planning a barbecue or a vegetarian feast, there are a variety of options that will surely delight every palate. From juicy steaks and succulent burgers to flavorful grilled chicken and delectable plant-based dishes, let’s explore some fantastic Father’s Day dinner ideas!

Grilling Steak. If dad loves a classic steak, firing up the grill is the way to go. Choose a favorite cut, whether it be a tender filet mignon, a well-marbled ribeye, or a robust T-bone. Marinate the night before in olive oil and apple cider vinegar, salt, pepper, and any other preferred spices. Preheat the grill to mediumhigh heat and cook the steaks to desired doneness, flipping them once. Serve with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, and a side of homemade chimichurri sauce for an extra kick. One great resource for proper grilling techniques is the Feedly website, that provides a variety of blogs related to grilling: www.feedly. com/i/top/bbq-blogs.

Gourmet Burgers. Elevate the traditional burger experience with gourmet ingredients and flavors. Start with high-quality ground beef, seasoned with salt, pepper, and any choice of herbs and spices. Grill the patties until

cooked through, and top them with dad’s favorite cheese, if desired. Lightly toast brioche buns, and assemble the burgers with caramelized onions, crispy bacon, lettuce, tomato slices, and tangy sauces, all great topping additions for the ultimate Dad Burger. Serve with optional homemade sweet potato fries, and a summertime fruit salad.

Grilled Chicken. For a lighter option that still packs a punch, grilled chicken is a fantastic choice. Marinate boneless chicken breasts in a flavorful blend of herbs, spices, and olive oil for a few hours before grilling. Cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), ensuring juicy and tender results. Serve with grilled vegetables (peppers, onions, carrots, and any root vegetables), a zesty citrus salad, and a side of homemade tzatziki or barbecue sauce for dipping.

Vegetarian Delights. If dad is a vegetarian, look to cater to those tastes. There are plenty of exciting options to explore. Portobello mushrooms make excellent burgers, and are a great alternative to ground beef. Portobello mushrooms offer a meaty texture and rich flavor, are packed with trace minerals, and even contain a few grams of protein! Marinate the mushrooms in balsamic vinegar, garlic, olive oil and a touch of Liquid Smoke, then grill until tender. Serve on a toasted bun with fresh spinach, sliced tomatoes, roasted red peppers and

Bill Designed to Standardize Food Date Labels, Cut Food Waste

NATIONWIDE -

U.S. lawmakers recently reintroduced the Food Date Labeling Act, a bill designed to end consumer confusion around food date labeling and ensure Americans do not throw out useable food. Studies have shown that Americans are confused by food date labels, resulting in a significant amount of food ending up in landfills. The Food Date Labeling Act will reduce food waste by standardizing date labels on food products.

“Our current food labeling practices are outdated, confusing, and completely arbitrary, resulting in around 90% of Americans prematurely throwing out perfectly safe food. This staggering waste takes a toll on families’ wallets, on the environment, and on the economy,” said

onions, and a creamy homemade aioli.

Vegan Sensations. For a completely plant-based Father’s Day feast, consider vegan dishes that are sure to impress. Grilled vegetable skewers are colorful, flavorful, and easy to prepare. Thread a variety of vegetables such as bell peppers, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, and red onions onto skewers, brushing them

Summer Cucumber Salad with Sweet Corn, Tomatoes, and Avocado

NATIONWIDEHarry’s Bar in Venice is renowned for its blush pink Bellini cocktail, created by owner Harry Cipriani in the 1940s. The restaurant’s chefs also prepare several memorable dishes, including a vibrant summer salad served in a deep bowl. Coleen Kirnan, the owner and host of Tuscan Women Cook, holds this salad dear to her heart. Serves 6.

Ingredients:

1 tsp dry mustard powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 tbsp red wine vinegar

½ cup extra virgin olive oil

1 ear of sweet corn

1 long cucumber, peeled

10 cherry tomatoes, halved

1 avocado

Basil, thinly sliced

Instructions:

In a small bowl, whisk together the dry mustard powder, salt, pepper, and red wine vinegar to make the dressing. Gradually whisk in the extra virgin olive oil.

Cook the ear of corn in salted boiling water until tender,

approximately 8 minutes. Then, chill it in ice water.

Stand the ear of corn upright on a cutting board and slice off the kernels.

Place the kernels in a bowl and gently separate them into individual kernels.

Cut the cucumber in half lengthwise, then halve each piece. Remove the seeds and cut the cucumber into ¾-inch cubes.

In a serving bowl, combine the cucumber cubes, corn kernels, and halved cherry tomatoes.

Halve the avocado, remove the seed, and cut it into small cubes by making crisscross pat-

Representative Chellie Pingree (D-ME), co-chair of the Food Recovery Caucus. “By standardizing the food date labeling system and making labels less confusing for consumers, the bipartisan Food Date Labeling Act will help ensure food is being used and eaten, rather than being thrown out.”

Currently, there are no federal regulations related to date labels on food products, aside from infant formula. Date labeling regulations are left up to states, which means consumers are left trying to sort out a patchwork of confounding terms. “Sell by,” “use by,” “freshest on,” and “expires on” are just a few of the phrases currently being used on food products. The Food Date Labeling Act establishes an easily understood food date

with a marinade of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs. Grill until tender and serve with quinoa or couscous and a refreshing avocado-cucumber salsa.

labeling system – “Best If Used By” communicates to consumers that the quality of the food product may begin to deteriorate after the date, while “Use By” communicates the end of the estimated period of shelf life, after which the product should not be consumed. Under the bill, food manufacturers can decide which of their products carry a quality date or a discard date. It also allows food to be sold or donated after its labeled quality date, helping more food reach those who need it.

An estimated 40% of food produced in the U.S. is wasted. Domestic food production accounts for significant land use, water usage, and energy consumption and results in 11% of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. Consequently, recovering food helps reduce climate change and ensures that the hard work and resources that go into producing food is not wasted.

terns with a paring knife. Scoop out the avocado cubes into the bowl of vegetables.

Drizzle some dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat evenly. Adjust the seasonings and add more dressing as needed. Divide the salad evenly between serving bowls and garnish each with shredded basil.

To prevent the cut surface of the avocado from browning, rinse it under cold running water. Serve the salad immediately after preparation.

This Father’s Day, go the extra mile to make dad’s day truly special by preparing a fantastic home-cooked dinner. Whether opting for sizzling steaks, gourmet burgers, grilled chicken, vegetarian delights, or vegan sensations, there is something to satisfy every palate. Gather around the table, share laughter, and create lasting memories as the family enjoys a delicious meal made with love. Cheers to all the fathers out there – Happy Father’s Day!

Pingree has long recognized that food waste reduction is a win-win, bringing both environmental and economic benefits. She first introduced a version of the food date labeling bill, as well as the more comprehensive Food Recovery Act, in the 113th Congress. In the spring of 2018, she launched Congress’s first-ever Bipartisan Food Recovery Caucus with former Congressman David Young (R-IA), and currently serves as co-chair with Congressman Newhouse.

The 2018 Farm Bill included Pingree’s provisions to create the first full-time food loss and waste reduction liaison at USDA, a composting and food waste reduction pilot program, and the Local Agriculture Market Program (LAMP) to reduce on-farm waste.

George H.W. and Barbara Bush Book Signing

KENNEBUNKPORT -

On Monday, June 26, 5:307:30 p.m., Rev. Russ Levenson will be at Graves Memorial Library in Kennebunkport for a book signing and discussion on his newly released book, “Witness to Dignity – The Life and Faith of George H.W. and Barbara Bush,” with a forward by Jeb Bush. Books will be available for purchase at the library during the signing.

Former President George H.W and Former First Lady Barbara Bush belonged to, and were active members of, a Houston, TX, church for more than 50

years. The rector of that church, Rev. Russell J. Levenson, Jr., has written “Witness to Dignity,” sharing many of the personal interactions he had with the former Presidential couple.

The book is an intimate, first-person account of the character and faith of former President George H.W. Bush and First Lady Barbara Bush, presenting neverbefore shared correspondence, experiences, and personal stories, peppered with anecdotes of the family’s wit and wisdom.

The book highlights the importance of family and friends, and the Bush’s steadfast loyalty

to their church and their faith. References to Kennebunkport and Mrs. Bush’s beloved Ganny’s Garden on the River Green, which is managed by the Kennebunkport Conservation Trust, are also documented. The garden was created and is maintained through voluntary contributions.

The book was written with the approval of all the Bush children, including the 43rd president.

The Reverend Russell J. Levenson, Jr. lives in Houston, TX, where he has served as Rector of St. Martin’s Episcopal Church since 2007. With nearly 10,000 members, St. Martin’s is

The museum acknowledges that names are not necessary, nor are they meant to “out” someone who may not wish to be named. The colored ribbons will then be tied onto the garland, which will then be hung outside the building. The museum will then forever have this unique asset that can be added to and re-flown every annual Pride month.

The museum plans on hosting this activity in its upstairs history exhibit, as a reminder to all that every story matters, and to elevate the importance of recording individual stories to be preserved and remembered.

The Brick Store Museum is proud to cultivate this Pride activity as part of its Diversity, Equity, Access and Inclusion (DEAI) mission. The museum sees itself as a connector that brings people together to foster reflection, sharing, listening, learning and growing. The ribbon-making station will be open throughout the month of June.

Michael Landgarten Donates Items to Benefit Mainspring

KITTERY -

Former Kittery restaurateur, Michael Landgarten, is continuing his legacy of giving back as he enters retirement.

The man who transformed Bob’s Clam Hut into a famed establishment is donating several pieces of art and memorabilia from his time owning the restaurant.

The items will be auctioned off at an event on Saturday, June 24 at the Kittery Community Center to benefit Mainspring, a collaborative endeavor between Fair Tide and Footprints Food Pantry, two local nonprofit organizations. The event pays tribute to Landgarten’s legacy as a dynamic entrepreneur who made a deep impact on the community through his restaurants.

During his 34-year tenure owning Bob’s Clam Hut, Landgarten supported multiple organizations through a robust employee-directed giving program.

Fair Tide and Footprints Food Pantry, local agencies focusing on housing and food insecurity, were long-time beneficiaries of his generosity.

“Michael’s restaurants

played a critical role in creating and strengthening community. He offered his employees a chance to learn about the issues facing our towns and what agencies were doing to address them. He then empowered his employees to choose where to direct donations,” said Emily Flinkstrom, executive director of Fair Tide. “Fair Tide was a recipient of those funds for many years, and we’re so grateful that Michael has decided to continue his philanthropic legacy through this unique event that benefits such an impactful project.”

Mainspring is a resource hub of social services which brings together multiple, wellestablished agencies under one roof, working toward a shared mission to better serve the area.

This strategic, collaborative model will provide individuals and families with easy access to all-encompassing services, offering a pathway out of poverty and, ultimately, strengthening the entire community.

Climb Aboard “The Covered Wagon,” Hollywood’s First Western

OGUNQUIT -

On Wednesday, June 21 at 6 p.m., the historic Leavitt Theatre invites audiences to experience the first major Hollywood production that established the Western as a serious and enduring genre. “The Covered Wagon” (1923), an epic adventure film, was the top box office attraction of its time and will be showcased on the big screen with live music.

Step back in time and witness this groundbreaking film, which tells the tale of two caravans converging in 1848 at what is now Kansas City, embarking on a westward push of 2,000 miles to Oregon. The pioneers face daunting challenges such as desert heat, mountain snow, hunger, and attacks, all while navigating a love triangle between the characters of Molly Wingate, Sam, and Will.

Directed by James Cruze and based on Emerson Hough’s 1922 novel of the same name, “The Covered Wagon” features a stellar ensemble cast, including J. Warren Kerrigan, Ernest Torrence, and Alan Hale Sr. (father of Alan Hale, Jr., of “Gilligan”s Island” fame). Filmed on location in Palm Springs, CA, and various sites in Nevada and Utah, the production spared no expense in creating an authentic depiction of

the Old West.

The Leavitt Theatre’s Silent Film Series aims to provide audiences with an immersive experience of early cinema as it was originally intended. Accompanied by live music, the films come alive on the big screen, fostering a unique connection between the audience and the art form.

Acclaimed accompanist Jeff Rapsis, known for his expertise in creating music for silent film presentations, will provide the live musical score for “The Covered Wagon” and the other films in the series. Rapsis will bring his talent and creativity to each screening, enhancing the emotional impact of the movies and capturing the essence of the era.

“We’re not just watching these films, we’re experiencing them,” says Rapsis. “The combination of the movie, the music, and the audience reaction makes each screening a truly one-of-akind event.”

The Leavitt Theatre’s Silent Film Series continues throughout the summer season, with each film celebrating the 100th anniversary. The theatre is located at 259 Main St. (Route 1) in Ogunquit. Admission is $12 per person. For more information, visit www.leavittheatre.com or call 207-646-3123.

Playhouse Celebrates Gene Kelly Local Author Releases Final Book in Trilogy

OGUNQUIT -

The Ogunquit Playhouse is thrilled to announce a special one-night-only event, “Gene Kelly: An Evening with Patricia Ward Kelly,” on Sunday, June 25. This mesmerizing live onewoman show features Patricia Kelly, the wife and biographer of the legendary Gene Kelly. Patricia takes audiences on a captivating journey behind-the-scenes, offering an intimate portrait of the ground-breaking artist who brought us timeless classics like “An American in Paris” and “Singin’ in the Rain.”

Using a brilliant combination of film clips, previously unreleased audio recordings, personal keepsakes, and stories shared from her ten years with Gene, Patricia guides viewers through an unforgettable exploration of the creative process and delves deep into the life and heart of a man who forever revolution-

ized the art of dance on film, ultimately becoming one of the world’s most beloved stars.

Bradford T. Kenney, executive artistic director of Ogunquit Playhouse, expresses his excitement about bringing the beloved classic “Singin’ in the Rain” to the stage: “Bringing an old friend like ‘Singin’ in the Rain’ to the stage is an enormous pleasure, allowing a new generation of theatergoers to discover this classic, much-beloved musical comedy.

Patricia Kelly’s portrayal of Gene’s engaging onscreen personality makes him so accessible that we feel like we know him.”

With a rich history spanning over nine decades, Ogunquit Playhouse has served as a cultural hub for Maine’s southern seacoast. Not only does it produce exceptional regional theatre, but it also fosters inclusive arts education programs, creating a welcoming and collab-

YORK -

Local author Jody Clark is on the verge of releasing the final book of his latest trilogy, “Medillia’s Lament III - The Path That Leads Back Home.” Over the past seven years, Clark has published two children’s books with his son, and with this newest release hitting shelves, his eighth novel in total. Clark’s stories range from comedies, like that of “Livin’ on a Prayer – The Untold Tommy and Gina Story,” to his popular “Soundtrack to My Life” trilogy, which was loosely based on he and his friends growing up in

orative environment for people of all ages and diverse backgrounds. This dynamic partnership between The Playhouse and the town of Ogunquit offers visitors and locals a wide array of exciting experiences.

“Gene Kelly: An Evening with Patricia Ward Kelly” will take place on Sunday, June 25 at 7:30 p.m., at the Ogunquit Playhouse, 10 Main St., Ogunquit. Tickets are now available for purchase online at https://tickets.ogunquitplayhouse.org. They can also be obtained by calling 207-646-5511, Tuesday through Sunday, 12-5 p.m., or by visiting the playhouse box office in person.

York Beach in the 1990s. Tucked in between those releases was the more intimate and heartfelt “Wild Irish Rose.”

Clark originally wrote “Medillia’s Lament” as a screenplay back in 2003, but he always dreamed of turning it into a fullfledged novel. In the spring of 2020, his dream finally came to fruition. Although the story starts off in Chicago, its primary focus is the magical Maine island of Applewood. The story is filled with an array of emotions: loss, despair, regret, hope, redemption, with plenty of magical realism sprinkled in. Not only were the reviews highly positive upon release, but the readers wanted more – more of the characters, more of the story, more of the magic of Maine.

“A sequel never even crossed my mind,” Clark said. “But the more I read all the positive and encouraging messages and reviews, the more I knew I needed to get to work!”

With “Medillia’s Lament II - The Dark Waters,” Clark takes readers back 25 years, adding the backstory of a wacky therapist featured in Book One.

“Considering she was just a bit character in the first book, I’m sure the readers were wondering where I was going with this arbitrary storyline, but I promise it all comes full circle in Book Three.”

“Medillia’s Lament III - The Path That Leads Back Home,” brings together most of the characters from the first two books, and promises to be filled with heart and surprises.

Those who follow Clark on social media might have heard him mention that this will be his final book, ever. When questioned on it, he says, “I’ve learned to never say never, but as of now, I’m planning on this being my last. It’s definitely not for lack of ideas or lack of desire to write. Honestly, I’m just tired of constantly being on social media and promoting. I spend more energy and time on that than I do actually writing. Constantly posting, constantly checking likes and comments, constantly trying to stay relevant with people… it’s exhausting, and it’s something I just don’t want to do any more. But unfortunately, without that constant social media presence, my sales can go from the hundreds to almost zero – out of sight, out of mind. It’s the sad reality of being a small-time, self-published author. And as far as paying someone to do my promoting, I don’t make that kind of money yet, and most of all, I honestly feel that no one can promote you better than you.”

“That being said, I am so grateful and appreciative of all the support I’ve received the past seven years. It’s more than I ever could have expected. But like I mentioned earlier, I’ve learned to never say never, and there’s always a chance to see another book in the future.”

The allure of the salty air and the shifting seasons is something that captivates all. The sea holds a certain mystique, with its constant transformations and undeniable beauty. This celebration of the sea through the exhibition, features a diverse collection of artwork created by talented members.

To mark the opening of the exhibition, there will be a special reception on Sunday, June 18, from 5-7 p.m. This is a wonderful opportunity for audiences to immerse themselves in the artwork, to meet the artists, and to engage with them in discussions about their inspirations and creative processes.

In addition to the All Member Exhibition, the works of Spotlight Artist Caroline Kelley will be showcased. Caroline finds inspiration in the quiet and breathtaking moments that can be found in Southern Maine and New Hampshire. Her art captures the imperfect and fleeting aspects of these moments, from historical buildings to lush ecosystems and cultured gardens. Through her pastel paintings, Caroline aims

to convey the joy experienced in witnessing the beauty of the surroundings.

Says Kelley, “I take inspiration from the multitude of quiet, beautiful moments to be found in Southern Maine and New Hampshire. Moments that are both imperfect and fleeting. Historical buildings, lush, diverse ecosystems, and cultured gardens are part of our everyday experience. Pastel painting allows me to work with vibrant, accurate color in a manner that I hope conveys the pleasure I receive in witnessing all of these. I admire the work of the American Impressionists who were active along our seacoast. And I hope to emulate the tradition of fine, independent craftsmanship embedded in New England culture. This tradition proves that practicality and creativity go hand in hand with friendship, individuality, and a good sense of humor.”

As a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, the KAA is dedicated to promoting the arts, generating interest in local artists, and fostering appreciation for the abundant creativity found in the seacoast area.

The exhibition will be held at the KAA gallery, 2 Walker St., Kittery, open Thursday - Sunday, 11 a.m. - 5 p.m. For more information, visit www.kitteryartassociation.org or call 207-451-9384.

Audubon and CFW Present “Birds of Prey”

WELLS -

What is the difference between a hawk and a falcon? Do vultures exist in Maine? What is Maine’s smallest owl? What is the state’s largest hawk? Where do they live? York County Audubon is partnering with the Center for Wildlife to discuss Maine’s birds

of prey, their habitats, habits and place in the food chain, and why it is the public’s duty to protect them. The program will connect the audience with these beautiful ambassadors, as well as provide their natural and personal histories and empower audience members to help to steward the

environment everyone shares.

On Tuesday, June 20 at 7 p.m., York County Audubon is pleased to host the Center for Wildlife’s program, “On Birds of Prey: Our ‘Talon-ted’ Friends.” This program will be presented live in the Mather Auditorium at the Wells Reserve at Laudholm, located at 342 Laudholm Farm Road in Wells. The program is open to the public and is suitable for all ages. There is no charge to attend, and pre-registration is not required.

Nestled at the base of Mount Agamenticus in Cape Neddick for 33 years, CFW has treated over 50,000 injured and orphaned wild animals and presented programming to thousands of community members annually. For more information, visit www. thecenterforwildlife.org.

Franco-American Musicians to Perform in West K! Series

WEST KENNEBUNKNational Heritage Fellows

Don and Cindy Roy will perform in the Concerts in West K! series at the West Kennebunk United Methodist Church on Sunday, June 18, at 3 p.m. Partners in life and in music for nearly forty years, the Roys are leading exponents of Franco-American traditional music in Maine. In 2018 they were named National Heritage Fellows by the National Endowment for the Arts, the highest accolade that the U.S. bestows on practitioners of traditional arts.

Residents of Gorham, both Don and Cindy are descendants of French families that emigrated from Canada: Don’s grandparents are from Quebec, and Cindy’s from Prince Edward Island. Don’s virtuoso fiddling

and Cindy’s steady, rhythmic piano accompaniment, plus her top-notch step-dancing, have livened up many a house party and entertained audiences across the country.

Both Cindy’s grandfather, Alphy Martin, and Don’s grandfather, Joe Mathieu, were fiddlers, athough due to a mill accident that cost Joe Mathieu a finger, Don was never able to hear his grandfather play. Fortunately, he had passed his music on to one of his sons, Don’s uncle Lucien; it was through Lucien that Don learned the music. He took up the fiddle in 1975 at age 15, learning quickly and well. This was during the heyday of fiddle contests in New England, and Don soon established himself as one of the top players on the circuit. Don and Cindy continue to play at a range of venues, large and small, local and national.

The concert is part of the re-boot of the popular “Concerts in West K!” series, which was temporarily suspended during the pandemic. The series takes place Sunday, June 18, from 3-5 p.m. at the West Kennebunk United Methodist Church, 160 Alfred Road, West Kennebunk. General admission at the door is $20. Masking recommended. For more information, call Paul Wells at 207-985-2831.

The Shank Painters to Perform at the Library Gallery Celebrates Summer with Saco River Song Concert

KITTERYHaley Art Gallery is excited to announce a special celebration of summer – the Saco River Song concert. This enchanting event will feature a captivating blend of poems, ballads, and songs performed by poet John Perrault, accompanied by Barbara London on flute and Mike Rogers on harmonica.

Perrault, who served as the Portsmouth poet laureate from 2003 to 2005, has established himself as a prolific author and musician. He has written several acclaimed poetry collections, including “Jefferson’s Dream,” “Here Comes the Old Man Now,” “The Ballad of Louis Wagner,” and “Season of Shagginess.” His talents extend beyond the written word, as he has also released nine albums of original ballads and songs. His works have been recognized with prestigious awards, such as the Rosalie Boyle/Norma Farber Award from the New England Poetry Club in 2008. Perrault’s poetry has been published in numerous literary journals.

Rogers, an accomplished harmonica player and musician, joins Perrault on stage. Rogers is not only a gifted musician but also a respected harp teacher, studio musician, and founding member of the folk group Salt River. Throughout his career, he has shared the stage with no-

table artists such as Tom Rush, Emmylou Harris, the Eagles, Jonathan Edwards, and John Hammond. In addition to his musical pursuits, Rogers recently published his first poetry collection, titled “You Should’ve Seen Just What I Heard.”

London, an accomplished musician, composer, artist, writer, and educator, will accompany Perrault on flute. Her impressive career spans various artistic endeavors, including leading jazz groups on flute, piano, and vocals. She is also recognized for her skills in watercolor painting, composition, and teaching at Berklee College of Music, where she became the first female chair in 1994. London’s talent has been acknowledged with three NEA jazz performance grants.

In addition to the concert, Haley Art Gallery invites visitors to explore their current group exhibit, “Nature Beckons,” showcasing artwork by seacoast artists Barbara D’Antonio, Joe Flaherty, Lisa Lane, Maria Paz Lundin, and Chris Newcomb.

The concert will take place on Friday, June 23, starting at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are available for $10 per person. For more information and reservations, email haleygallery@comcast. net, visit www.haleyartgallery. com, or call 617-584-2580.

KENNEBUNK -

Ahoy! On Wednesday, June 21, at 6 p.m., kids of all ages are invited to the Kennebunk Free Library (KFL) for a concert by The Shank Painters. Weather permitting, the concert will be held outside the library. In the event of rain, the concert will move into the Parson’s Reading Room inside the library.

NATIONWIDEU.S. Senators Susan Collins (R-ME) and Maria Cantwell (D-WA) recently introduced the Carbon Removal and Emissions Storage Technologies (CREST) Act, a bill aimed at addressing the urgent need for carbon removal and storage solutions. The legislation directs the Departments of Energy and Interior to establish new research programs, evaluate the feasibility of carbon removal and storage, quantify the impact of carbon removal solutions, and create an innovative pilot reverse auction purchasing program to accelerate the commercialization of carbon removal technologies.

Senators Angus King (I-ME), Bill Cassidy (R-LA), and Chris Coons (D-DE) have joined as cosponsors, highlighting the bipartisan support for the initiative.

In light of the growing

commitments from both the private and public sectors to achieve net-zero emissions, companies are actively seeking quantifiable, durable, and verifiable carbon removal solutions. However, current cost estimates suggest that private sector investments alone may not be sufficient to research and deploy these crucial technologies. Further research, increased testing, and enhanced public-private partnerships are necessary to scale up carbon removal technologies, especially by harnessing natural carbon removal processes such as reforestation, algae cultivation, and enhanced geological mineralization.

AThe CREST Act has garnered support from a broad range of organizations and businesses focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, recognizing the need for collective action in combating climate change. Senator Collins emphasized the importance of taking a comprehensive approach, stating, “Reducing the harmful pollutants in our atmosphere that cause climate change requires an all-of-theabove approach. This bipartisan bill would spur research and development for carbon removal technologies, as well as accelerate the commercialization of innovative carbon removal solutions to help make them more affordable.”

Senator Cantwell echoed these sentiments, emphasizing the necessity of carbon removal to mitigate the impacts of climate change, saying, “Removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is essential to blunting the impacts of climate change. In other words, just reducing future emissions is no longer enough. So we need to figure out how to remove and trap carbon pollution from the atmosphere in order to avoid more frequent and intense extreme weather.”

Title I of the CREST Act builds upon previously authorized carbon removal research and development programs, expanding them to include carbon removal pathways that can permanently sequester carbon dioxide or utilize it to produce valuable products such as biofuels. The legislation focuses on four key areas:

Biomass Carbon Removal. The scope of the Department of Energy’s current carbon capSee CARBON on page 19 . . .

ture research will be expanded to include biological carbon removal from terrestrial and aquatic sources. Techniques such as algae cultivation, soil enhancements, and enhanced photosynthesis and root growth will be explored. The bill also establishes an initiative to develop new feed and fuel products from carbon dioxide.

Geological Carbon Removal. Research, experiments, and pilot programs will be initiated to explore carbon mineralization methods that can trap carbon dioxide in solid form. Activities authorized under this section include field experiments, injecting reactive formulations in subsurface formations, and reusing industrial by-products for carbon removal. The Department of the Interior will conduct a national assessment of suitable reactive minerals and their availability.

Aquatic Carbon Removal. The bill encourages the Department of Energy to pursue ocean carbon removal pathways, including blue carbon management and direct ocean capture. The legislation also establishes a program to monitor and research the ecological impacts of ocean carbon dioxide removal and storage techniques. Additionally, the Department of Energy will produce a report on the offshore capacity for deep sea carbon storage.

Atmospheric Carbon Removal. The legislation directs the Department of Energy to research, develop, and demon-

strate manufacturing techniques for direct air capture technologies.

The CREST Act also includes provisions for Carbon Removal Quantification, authorizing competitive funding for entities seeking financial assistance to conduct life-cycle analyses of their emissions.

Title II of the CREST Act establishes a pilot carbon removal purchasing program that employs an innovative reverse auction mechanism. This program aims to identify the most costeffective pathways for carbon removal solutions that meet specified performance metrics.

The CREST Act builds on the Energy Act of 2020, which authorized the first comprehensive federal carbon removal research and development program. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) allocated $3.6 billion for direct air capture technology. The recent report from the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change underscores the essential role of carbon dioxide removal in achieving international climate

YORKYork Ready for Climate Action, the York Energy Steering Committee and the York Recycling Committee are three organizations committed to helping residents of York take action to benefit the environment.

mation about electric cars, and have electric cars on site for the community to explore.

In addition to home energy efficiency and green transportation, the fair will showcase sustainability ideas, like zero waste household products, native plants, and composting. Residents can talk with companies in the field of sustainability and non-profit organizations that are involved with natural resource preservation, outdoor environmental education and ecosystem preservation.

Harry Mussman, volunteer with York Ready for Climate Action and lead coordinator of the event, stated: “Our fair is intended to show York residents all of the practical ways they

can help our town achieve its Climate Action Plan, to move towards sustainability and electrification for the town, and beyond. We will focus on sustainable groups and businesses, plus have food and fun for all ages.”

The event will feature activities for kids and free snacks, provided by Hannaford and Anthony’s Food Shop. Residents who have already completed home energy retrofits will be on hand to answer questions and discuss lessons learned.

. . . LABEL from page 11

Office (GAO) issued a report with recommendations on how the federal government can expand its efforts to reduce food waste. Another GAO report focused on food date labeling was published in 2019. Provisions to standardize food date labeling to reduce consumer confusion are also included in the Agriculture Resilience Act, which was reintroduced in March 2023.

Emily Broad Leib, Director, Harvard Law School Food Law and Policy Clinic, stated, “Clarifying and standardizing date label language is one of the most cost-effective and commonsense methods to reduce the 40% of food that goes to waste each year in the United States. Action at the federal level will help ensure that businesses and consumers alike can use and understand date labels more effectively, standardizing these labels

across food products and around the country in order to reduce food that ends up in landfill and encourage more donation of safe surplus food.”

Andrea Collins, Senior Specialist of Sustainable Food Systems, Natural Resources Defense Council, stated, “Date label confusion is a leading cause of food waste in the U.S. The Food Date Labeling Act would standardize date labels, build consumer awareness around them, and make donating safe food easier. This low-cost solution would keep money in people’s pockets and food on people’s plates instead of in landfills, where it produces greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change.”

Herrish Patel, General Manager, Unilever Nutrition North America, stated, “On behalf of Hellmann’s, we greatly appreciate your leadership reintroducing the Food Date Labeling Act. Hellmann’s remains steadfast in our commitment to helping reduce the 54 million tons of food that go to waste every year in the United States, and this solution will help to do just that.”.

Dana Gunders, Executive Director, ReFED, stated, “No one wakes up in the morning wanting to waste food. Yet on the whole, households are the largest source of food waste in the U.S., and confusing date labels are a big part of that. And with food prices remaining stubbornly high, it’s more important than ever that we help consumers make the best use of the food they purchase. Requiring food businesses to use standardized date labels and educating consumers about what they mean will help busy Americans stretch their grocery budgets, give them the peace of mind of knowing that their food is safe to consume, and lead to substantial reductions in the amount of food being wasted.”

Pete Pearson, Senior Director, Food Waste, World Wildlife Fund, stated, “In the US, it’s estimated that 30-40% of our food supply is lost or wasted. At the same time, the footprint of agriculture continues to expand, threatening the last remaining biodiverse regions on our planet; places like the native grasslands of the Northern Great Plains. When we waste food, we waste the land, water, and energy used to produce it. We also generate significant methane emissions as this food decomposes in landfills. In this context, preventing food waste represents a critical act of conservation. The Food Date Labeling Act along with nationwide consumer education will heighten awareness on food waste and help us all adjust behaviors at home. This is a winwin for consumers and the environment.”

Lessons for Teens Starting Their First Job

STATEWIDENational nonpr ofit credit counseling agency, Take Charge America, provides valuable tips on budgeting, saving, and decision-making for teenagers who may be embarking on their first summer job. This significant milestone not only signifies the beginning of financial indepen-

dence but also shapes their approach to spending and saving in the future.

According to Amy Maliga, a financial educator at Take Charge America, many parents want to guide their teens in making wise financial decisions but may be unsure about how to approach the conversation. She suggests initiating the discussion in a way that gets them excited about saving money, rather than presenting it as a set of restrictive rules.

Maliga shares five conversation starters that parents can discuss with their teens as they enter the job market.

Provide insight into the decision-making process. By sharing examples of how to budget, setting savings goals, and managing money, parents can demonstrate the pros and cons of these decisions and their long-term impacts. These transparent conversations help build the teens’ confidence in discussing their own spending habits.

Ask teens about their savings goals. Encourage them to outline goals or items they would like to save up for. This exercise can generate excitement and make saving money a more ap-

proachable concept. Once the goals are established, parents can help create an action plan to achieve them.

Help teens structure a basic budget. Explain that a budget outlines the money coming in and going out. It involves tracking expenses and setting goals. Work together with teens to estimate their projected costs. There are various resources available, including videos on budgeting basics, which can help guide the process.

Teach teens how to use a bank account. Many banks and credit unions offer fee-free checking and savings accounts specifically designed for teenagers, often including a debit card. Parents can also provide oversight by setting spending limits on debit cards. By using a bank account, teens can learn about ATMs, budgeting, and effective spending habits.

Create healthy competition. Encourage families to make a game out of saving money. Set challenges such as who can reach savings goals the fastest or who can save the most money (or a percentage) within a specific time frame. Transforming it into a competition fosters both mutual

funding from $20 million to $30 million for the federal maple support program. The program supports the U.S. maple syrup industry through research and education, natural resource sustainability, and the marketing of maple syrup and maple-sap products.

“There’s nothing better than real Maine maple syrup on Sunday morning pancakes, except maybe the other six days of the week,” said Senator King. “The MAPLE SYRUP Act would make significant investments in the hardworking maple syrup producers, sugar farms, and small maple businesses across Maine. Building on the federal syrup support program and promoting America’s maple syrup producers is a smart way to grow the industry and provide the sweet condiment to more people across the region and country. I look forward to working with my colleagues to ensure this vital legislation is included in the upcoming Farm Bill package.”

U.S. Senators Chris Murphy (D-CT), Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Peter Welch (DVT), and Bernie Sanders (I-VT) co-sponsored the legislation.
