Together, with hundreds of local volunteers and other local nonprofit organizations who supply hands-on support, an event is created that showcases the talents of craftsmen from all around the region, the musical aspirations of area talent, and the enjoyment of watching
children frolic among the wonderment of it all. The food is all supplied by local non-profit groups who raise money to support their organizations. When all is said and done, the proceeds raised by the festival committee are returned back to the local nonprofit groups in the form of grants to support local community projects.” In addition to various games and rides, this year’s See STRAWBERRY on page 15 . . .

First Juneteenth Officially Honored in Maine
STATEWIDE In June 2021, Governor Mills signed legislation that made Maine one of the few states at the time to recognize June 19 – Juneteenth – as a paid state holiday. However, since the law did not go into effect until after the legislative session, 2022 will be the first year in which the day will actually be celebrated as such. In the same week that Maine recognized the holiday, President Biden signed a bill into law that designated the date Juneteenth National Independence Day – the country’s eleventh federal holiday – after a rare act of bipartisanship in which the bill passed unanimously in the Senate and almost unanimously in the House, with only 14 Republicans (none from Maine) voting nay. Recognition of June 19 as a day of emancipation for African Americans began in Texas in the year after the end of the Civil War. According to Wiki-
pedia, “on the morning of June 19, 1865, Union Major General Gordon Granger arrived on the island of Galveston, Texas, to . . . enforce the emancipation of its slaves and oversee Reconstruction, nullifying all laws passed within [the state] during the war by Confederate lawmakers. . . . One year after the announcement, freedmen in Texas organized the first of what became the annual celebration of ‘Jubilee Day.’” Despite the many challenges and atrocities of the Jim Crow era, which resulted in a decline in emancipation celebrations in the early 1900s, the day remained significant through to the Civil Rights Movement. In 1979, Texas became the first state to officially recognize Juneteenth as a state holiday. Celebrations and proclamations continued throughout the country over the next few decades, and by 2021, all states except South Dakota recognized the date in some official way. Of the

significance in the continuing celebration of the holiday, Juneteenth.com states, “it is a time for assessment, self-improvement, and for planning the future. Its growing popularity signifies a level of maturity and dignity in America long over due. In cities across the country, people of all races, nationalities, and religions are joining hands to truthfully acknowledge a period in our history that shaped and continues to influence our society today.” This year, celebrations in the area will include a series of programs from June 10 to June 20 hosted by the Black Heritage Trail of New Hampshire (Portsmouth). In May, the organization unveiled two new historical markers honoring Rock Rest, a historic home in Kittery Point that welcomed African American travelers during the mid-20th century, at a time when many accommodations were closed to them. Other events will take place in and around Portland. For information on the Black Heritage Trail NH, visit www.blackheritagetrailnh.org.

NORTH BERWICK Olde Woolen Mill resident Catherine Davis turned 100 on June 2 with the celebration of her birthday in the mill’s common room. In addition to the party, state representative Tiffany Roberts (D-District 6) presented Davis with a declaration from the 130th Legislature recognizing her centenarian status. Davis was born in Dover, NH, in 1922. In her early twenties, during World War II, she went to work at the Navy Yard as a welder. It was there that she adopted the nickname “Kitty,” the name written on her welding helmet since “Catherine” had too many letters to fit. It was also there that she met her husband, Richard. The couple resided in South Berwick their whole married lives. Davis was the first librarian for the South Berwick Library during the time it was located at the Eastman House. After retiring from the library, she became active with the South Berwick Senior Center, where she taught exercise classes several days a week. In 2000, she was selected as Maine’s representative for the Ms. Senior America Pageant. In 2019, at the age of 97, Davis was given North Berwick’s Boston Post Cane as the oldest resident of the town. The tradition of the cane goes back to 1909, when the editor of the now-def unct “Boston Post” newspaper came up with the marketing ploy of awarding a

custom-made cane to the oldest resident of each town to which the paper was sent. Initially, only male residents were so honored; but, in 1930, women also became eligible. The cane, which belongs to its respective town rather then its recipients, is intended to be used by its holder as long as he or she lives and then, upon the holder’s death, is handed down to the next oldest citizen of the town.

KENNEBUNKOn Monday, May 16, the RSU 21 Board of Directors voted unanimously to approve a threeyear employment agreement for Superintendent Dr. Terri I. Cooper for the term of July 1, 2022, to June 30, 2025. “Ensuring our district re-
tains a highly-qualified leader like Dr. Cooper is a top priority of the board, particularly during these challenging times as public education rebounds from the impacts of COVID-19,” said Board Chair Art LeBlanc. “Securing a competitive three-year employment contract between the board and Dr. Cooper
safeguards stability and continuity at RSU 21.” Dawn Therrien, the board’s Human Resources Committee Chair and its lead negotiator added, “This is an incredibly challenging time for public school leaders throughout the nation. Our district can continue to move forward guided by Dr. Cooper’s leadership and her commitment

to the RSU 21 community. Our focus is to ensure all students at RSU 21 succeed, and the district has a leader who embraces that mission.” Last fall, Cooper’s annual performance evaluation was conducted by the board over the course of several executive sessions. Her performance was evaluated in multiple professional standards, including vision, culture and instructional leadership, operations, resource and personnel management, board governance and policy, communication and community relations, and ethical leadership. In addition, Cooper was rated in four key areas that encompassed board-approved goals related to district leadership, student achievement, managing stakeholder engagement, and diversity, equity, and inclusion. The financial terms of the contract include a work year of 260 days with an annual salary of $160,000. Additional provisions reduce sick leave to 15 days annually, and accrued vacation days will no longer be paid upon separation of employment. As with contracts for teachers and other instructional personnel, the superintendent’s compensation is also determined by education status. “This employment agreement is grounded in market workforce data,” said Therrien. “The Board moved forward with fidelity to the data. Dr. Cooper’s performance and commitment to RSU 21, particularly during some very tumultuous times in our community, speaks to her strength of character. This is an incredibly demanding position, and I look forward to working with Dr. Cooper as she continues to lead our district.” Therrien’s enthusiasm was echoed by other board members.

support Dr. Cooper’s contract as superintendent of RSU 21. She has demonstrated strong leadership in the face of challenges presented by the pandemic and a variety of contentious viewpoints. Her north star is the safety and excellent education of students, and this has served the district well.” Arundel board member Erin Nadeau added, “I am happy that we were able to extend an offer to Dr. Cooper that is reflective of her experience and expertise, and that allows the excellent work she has accomplished to continue, as we navigate the development of a new strategic plan and the goals she has developed for student, staff, and district success.” Cooper earned a doctorate in educational leadership from Wingate University, a master’s degree in administration from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, and a bachelor of arts in elementary education from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She began her educational career as an elementary school teacher, and later served as Director of Employee Support Services, managing resources for a staff of 4700 employees, and as a school principal for CharlotteMecklenburg Schools. Cooper moved to Maine and joined RSU 21 in July 2020 during the early months of the global pandemic. “I am extremely pleased to continue this important work and serve RSU 21 students, staff, and the community,” said Cooper. “I am proud of the progress that our administration team has made over the past two years in curriculum, operations, human resources, special services, technology, and finance. I know that there is more work to be done on behalf of our students and staff in the years ahead. I look forward to continuing this progress with our team.”

~ News ~ Former Maine Senator Honored STATEWIDE US Senators Susan Collins (R-ME) and Angus King (I-ME) attended a ceremony dedicating a room in the US Capitol in honor of former Republican Maine senator Margaret Chase Smith (1897-1995). Room S-124 will be designated as the US Senator Margaret Chase Smith Room. Former Maryland senator Barbara Mikulski (D) was also so honored. Out of more than 540 rooms in the Capitol, these two are the first to be named after women senators. Senators Collins and King co-sponsored the bipartisan resolution, which passed the Senate unanimously in December 2020, to name these rooms after the two trailblazing political figures. “Senators Smith and Mikulski belonged to different parties, but they shared the same qualities of civility and respect for opposing viewpoints,” said Senator Collins. “They were both women of towering stature in integrity and courage.” Margaret Chase Smith began her national political career as Maine’s first woman elected to Congress, representing the state’s second congressional district from 1940 to 1949. In 1949, she became Maine’s first woman senator – the first woman in US history to be elected to both houses of Congress – and held that office until 1973. According to Wikipedia, “upon leaving office, [Smith] was the longest-serving female senator in history, a distinction that was
not surpassed until January 5, 2011, when Senator Barbara Mikulski from Maryland was sworn in for a fifth term. Smith was ranked as the longest-serving Republican woman in the Senate, a distinction that was not surpassed until January 3, 2021, when Susan Collins, who holds the same Senate seat she previously held, was sworn in for a fifth term.” During her time as a senator, Smith was adamantly opposed to the “anti-Communist” witch hunt led by her fellow Republican senator Joseph McCarthy. On June 1, 1950, she became one of the first members of Congress to speak out against McCarthy’s activities in a speech on the Senate f loor known as the Declaration of Conscience. While she believed that the incumbent Democratic administration of

I don’t want to see the Republican Party ride to political victory on the Four Horsemen of Calumny – Fear, Ignorance, Bigotry and Smear.” Of Smith, Senator King said, “[she] was an extraordinary lawmaker, an unparalleled trailblazer, and a dear friend. . . .

~ Ask The Computer Pro ~
Dear Computer Pro, My son has a relatively new gaming computer that seems to work well except for when it starts up. It takes about a half hour to get to the point where he can use it, during which the computer seems to be updating both itself and the games he plays. He only uses it once every couple of weeks. Is the long time in between uses the main reason for the slow start-up, or is there something else we should check? Thanks, Matthias Dear Matthias, We see this a lot with folks that do not use their computers on a more regular basis. Actually, we see this with folks that use their computers daily but shut them down or put them to sleep after each use. The problem is that Windows (I am assuming
Windows because most gamers are using Windows) wants to do all kinds of “housekeeping” tasks when the computer is not being used. Things like automatic disk defragmentation, virus scans, and updates will all happen while you are away from your computer and not using it so you should never see the performance degradation that you would get if you never let these background tasks occur. What is likely happening in the background when your son boots up his computer is that it is trying to catch up with these deferred tasks while trying to do everything else and present him with the desktop environment. Combine this workload with what I am going to assume is not a solid-state drive (SSD) and you run into these 30-minute boot times. After 30 minutes of wait-

ing, I bet it is still not running optimally just because it surely has not had time to do any disk defragmenting or file cleanup. For the next 30 days, have your son leave his computer on 24/7. Tap the Windows key on the keyboard and type “Sleep” to get to “Power & sleep settings.” I typically change the Screen to turn off after 15 minutes and then the Sleep to Never. This way, after 15 minutes of inactivity, the screen will turn off automatically, but the computer will stay on. To wake up the monitor after it goes to sleep, just tap the spacebar, and give it a moment to turn back on. Over the course of the month, you should notice that it is much more bearable . . . or at least as bearable it can be without an SSD in there. Good luck! Matt Dear Computer Pro, My daughter’s Chromebook has a loose charger port, i.e., the power chord does not stay in very well. I have been told that these are hard to fix because they are somehow hardwired into the unit. Is there an easy way to fix it so the charger stays in solidly in the port? Thanks, Anneke Dear Anneke, This is a problem that plagues not only the Chromebooks, but pretty much every laptop out there that isn’t an Apple with the MagSafe chargers. I always tell folks to only leave them plugged in when the laptop is going to be stationary on a desk. When you have a charger plugged in and it is on your lap or on your bed and
you are constantly moving it around, it is going to wear that port out. Unfortunately, on the more mainstream laptops, those charging ports are a part of the mainboard itself and cannot easily be replaced. Even if one could source the parts, the cost of the repair (disassembly, removal, soldering in the new, and reassembly) is going to end up costing more than just replacing the laptop. That being said, there are many laptops out there that that are separate from the mainboard itself and are replaceable. They require varying degrees of disassembly to replace, but it is definitely going to be a cheaper repair than having a port soldered in. My suggestion would be to bring it to a local computer professional and have them assess the problem and see if it is going to be cost effective. Good luck! Matt Dear Computer Pro, I am, so my kids tell me, “old school” in that I still play DVDs on my laptop, which still has an optical drive. But I do not like the playback program that came with the computer; it is slow and not very user-friendly. Are there any good downloadable playback programs for movies that you would recommend that will not break that bank? Thank you, Christoph Dear Christoph, I have often found that the software that comes preloaded to watch DVDs is so bloated that it is annoying, or it has so many features for writing CDs and

DVDs that it’s just obnoxious to navigate when you just want to throw a disc in and watch a movie! The best retail packaged player that I have ever used is PowerDVD (www.amzn. to/39mJxDY). This software has been around since the Windows 98 days when folks first started using their computers to play such discs. They are currently on version 21, and they do a fantastic job of keeping it up to date. It has a ton of features, and it is very easy to set it up to just open and start playing whenever you insert a DVD. In 25 years, I have never heard anyone say anything negative about it. If you want something that is free, lightweight, and does the job, check out VLC Media Player (www.videolan.org/vlc/). It will play every kind of video file out there as well as DVDs. It will even play Blu-ray discs with a little fiddling around. It is the best multipurpose video player that has ever been made, in my opinion. Give it a try before you pay for a retail software and see if there is anything it won’t do for you! Good luck! Matt
Mobile Phone Etiquette Though it may seem hard to believe given their current status in most people’s lives, mobile phones were a relative rarity as recently as 20 years ago. But those days are a distant memory, as forecasts from Ericssson & The Radicati Group indicate that there are 6.64 billion smartphones in use as of 2022. Simply put, mobile phones are everywhere, even if proper mobile phone etiquette is not always so commonplace. Mobile phone etiquette is even more important given the increase in mobile phone usage. Brushing up on mobile phone etiquette for modern times can ensure users aren’t overstepping boundaries or making enemies when spending time on their smartphones. Avoid round-t he- clock texting. Text messages are how many people now keep in touch with family and friends. In fact, data from the wireless communications trade association CTIA indicates that 2.1 trillion text messages were exchanged in 2020, an increase of 52 billion messages from the year prior. The popularity and convenience of texting is undeniable, but individuals should avoid texting when in the company of other people. Doing so makes others uncomfortable and can adversely affect the quality of discourse between smartphone users and the people with whom they’re engaging in in-person conversaSee PHONE on page 15 . . .

~ Arts & Entertainment ~ Whipple Returns to His Hometown
KITTERY The oldest town in Maine will begin this year’s Independence Day celebrations on Saturday, June 25, 9 a.m., at Thresher Memorial Park (located behind Town Hall at 200 Rogers Road). Native son General William Whipple, the only Mainer to sign the Declaration of Independence, will give a reading from the document. Since 2019, W hipple’s Reading has become an annual tradition in his hometown to mark the nation’s independence. Whipple was born in Kittery in 1730, and the home where he grew up, now privately owned, 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, having shipped 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 Katherine 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, is one of Portsmouth’s most celebrated historic homes. Whipple died in 1785, living just long enough to see America win its independence. The Piscataqua Rangers Junior Fife and Drum Corps will also join the celebration, along with the Por tsmouth
Naval Shipyard Color Guard and Revolution-era reenactors from Capt. Henry Dearborn’s Company. Local chapters of the Daughters of the American Revolution and Children of the American Revolution will be on hand as well.

Poor Farms and a Unique Journey at the Library KENNEBUNK Author Marpheen Chann (pictured) will be at the Kennebunk Free Library on Tuesday, June 21, at 6:30 p.m. to discuss his new book, “Moon in Full.” A signing will follow the discussion, with copies available to purchase at the event. Chann is a politician, thinker, author, and speaker on social justice, equity, and inclusion. As a gay, first-generation Asian American born in California to a Cambodian refugee family and later adopted by an evangelical, white working-class family in Maine, he uses a mix of humor and storytelling to help people view topics such as racism, xenophobia, and homophobia through an intersectional lens. “Moon in Full” is an autobiographical coming-of-age
story that shines light on the author’s search for truth and compassion in a complicated era. Chann recounts what he has learned, what he has lost, and what he has found during his evolution from a hungry refugee’s son to a religious youth to an advocate for acceptance and equality. On the following day, June 22, at 6:30 p.m., Kennebunk town historian Kathy Ostrander Roberts will be at the library to share information about the Kennebunk

Poor Farm. In the 18th and 19th centuries, and even into the 20th century, most Maine towns had “poor farms.” These were properties supported through local taxes that took in and cared for children and adults who could not take care of themselves. The Kennebunk Poor Farm was on Cat Mousam Road and was active from 1825 to 1936. The building was torn down in 1959, but those who died there are still buried in unmarked graves on the site. Ostrander Roberts has spent years learning who those individuals were and how they were cared for. Both programs are free and wheelchair accessible. The Kennebunk Free Library is located at 112 Main Street. For more information, call 207-985-2173 or email kfl@kennebunklibrary.org.

~ Arts & Entertainment ~ OMAA Celebrates Summer Colors with Art in Bloom OGUNQUIT The Ogunquit Museum of American A r t (OM A A) will host its annual “Art in Bloom” event on June 24-26. During this three-day event, the museum will come alive with 15 extravagant and fragrant floral interpretations of art created by seacoast-area garden clubs, professional florists, and independent floral designers. Each designer will create their own design utilizing f lowers, seed pods, driftwood, and other organic matter to be used in their creations. “Art in Bloom is such a joyous way to celebrate the arrival of summer, and the floral designers have a way of making us see a work of art in a new, engaging way,” said Amanda Lahikainen, PhD, executive director of the museum. “I am so impressed with the creativity and planning that happens with each interpretation, and I know our visitors will enjoy these beautiful, whimsical arrangements.” Visitors are invited to enjoy
the workshop and demonstration during this time, they are free with museum admission, and to attend the Garden Party which is $50 per ticket. The “Outdoor Sketching and Painting Workshop” will be held on Saturday, June 25, 10 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. This exciting workshop is set in the museum’s world-renowned flower and sculpture gardens with a backdrop of dramatic seaside views. Heather Lewis, who is an accomplished visual artist, teacher, and creativity coach, will share her love of sketching and tips on how to easily capture what is seen in an outdoor setting, while on the move. The “American Art of Arranging Floral Components with a Hint of European Trends Demonstration” will be held on Saturday, June 25, at 2 p.m. The museum welcomes awardwinning f loral designer Laura Lindop for a f loral arranging demonstration. The program is geared toward anyone interested in exploring new ways of arranging. Lindop will share her

Everyone has been there and undoubtedly wished they weren’t. Whether it’s been at a grocery store, restaurant, park, or another public setting, hearing someone else carry on a conversation on speakerphone is a less than enjoyable experience. In fact, a survey from Expedia found that 53 percent of respondents felt making calls on speakerphone while in public was the most annoying mobile phone habit. Speakerphone should only be used in private and only among people who are involved in the call. Turn notifications off in public and when spending time with others. Notifications have become a difficult-to-ignore component of smartphone usage. Researchers at Duke University found that the average person received between 65 and 80 notifi-

Turn off notifications when spending time with others and when visiting public places that tend to attract crowds, including movie theaters and restaurants. Avoid watching videos or listening to music in public. Unless your earbuds or headphones are with you at all times, resist the temptation to watch videos or play music on your phone when in public.

Goyette is an Exemplary Volunteer

WELLS T h e We l l s - O g u n q u i t Community School District (WOCSD) has honored Paul Goyette, a retired police officer, with the title of “Exemplary Volunteer of the Year” for the 2021-2022 school year. This award was presented to him on May 4 for his dedicated work on plays and musical productions at Wells High School (WHS) since 2009. Honoring him were WOCSD Community Resource Coordinator Maryanne Foley, WHS Director and Technical Director for Productions Andrew Lopez, and Goyette’s wife, Rachel Goyette. “When you find the right fit for a volunteer, you never let him quit,” commented Foley later in an email. “Mr. Paul, as he is known by the students, has been a popular and valuable volunteer with the WHS drama department for the last fourteen years. This recognition is long over-due.” WOCSD Superintendent James Daly added to the accolades with this statement: “Paul has done an outstanding job over the years. We are lucky to have community members like him in our schools.” Goyette, who teaches religion and manages St. Mary’s Ecumenical Food Pantry at St. Mary’s Church in Wells, has assisted Lopez with many tasks, including set design, carpentry, building, painting, providing props, and even bringing snacks to student actors during rehearsals. In 2009, it was Goyette’s son, Brandon, who urged him to contact Lopez about volunteering to work on the set of the play in which he was performing called “Once Upon a Mattress.” Goyette’s work on the March 2022 production of “Same Room, Different Story”
marked his 22nd show with the drama group. “I am truly honored as I usually work behind the scenes,” wrote Goyette. “I never expected to be given an award. I was flabbergasted. I [volunteer] because I enjoy working with the students. I especially enjoy working with Andy and am proud to call him my friend. I have worked with a great team. Betsy, Judy, and Andria, all of them, made the time spent a great journey.” Classroom and sports volunteers donate many hours of their time, and they play an important and valuable role in the WOCSD. They are composed mostly of retired community members, including retired teachers, parents, and higher-grade-level Wells-Ogunquit students.
Dupee New First Parish Pastor in York YORK After nearly 18 months of navigating pandemic protocols, the search committee, lay leadership, and congregation of First Parish Church York officially introduced Senior Pastor Eric Dupree to the community and celebrated his call to ministry in York with a Service of Installation held on Sunday, May 22. Reverend Dupee has already become a familiar figure in the community. He can be seen walking on the beach, hiking Mount Agamenticus, meeting informally outside the Bagel Basket, selling pumpkins, closing the walk and vigil for peace in Ukraine, waiting for sunrise at the Nubble on Easter morning, joining families playing lawn games, or delivering snacks to frontline workers. In his letter of introduction to First Parish Church members, Dupree wrote: “When people ask where I’m from, I say New England! I was born in Manchester, Connecticut. I spent my youth in Rhode Island, on Cape Cod, and in central Massachusetts. My dad was a United Methodist minister. My mom was my rock growing up and a person of deep faith. I graduated from Southern Connecticut University with a degree in Exercise Physiology, studied massage therapy in Colorado, and worked in physical therapy clinics in Massachusetts before attending the Boston University School of Theology.”
Chamber Welcomes Loveshack Juicery

WELLS The Wells Chamber of Commerce recently welcomed new business Loveshack Juicery at a ribbon cutting ceremony. Located at 345 Mile Road in Wells, Loveshack Juicery offers
“healthy eats made with love,” including acai bowls, smoothies, and locally roasted coffee. Loveshack Juicery is currently open Friday through Tuesday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. For more information go to loveshackjuicery.com.
Pastor Eric Dupress officiated at Everlee’s baptism.
Initially ordained in the Un ited Met hod ist C hu rch (UMC) in 1997, and after several years of service to UMC churches throughout Massachusetts, Dupree felt a calling to the United Church of Christ (UCC), of which First Parish is a member. After four years of service in Connecticut, he “received the Privilege of Call” to the York church in early 2020 and was confirmed as its pastor in July of that year. However, the pandemic resulted in a delay of an in-person installation ceremony until this past spring. The Reverend Pat Smith, retired UCC pastor and member of First Parish Church, recently used the analogy of a marriage to explain the Service of Installation. In this instance, Pastor Eric is the groom, the church is the bride, and the officiant is a UCC representative from the York Association Committee on Church and Ministry. Smith goes on to
say, “This is the moment of serious commitment – the moment when we promise to support and care for each other and to share Christ’s work in the world. So yes, we are celebrating and officially welcoming Eric as our new Pastor and teacher, but we are also honoring the rich legacy of those who came before and anticipating the promise of what lies ahead.” First Parish Church is an opening and affirming member of the UCC. It promises that “no matter who you are or where you are on your life’s journey, this is the place for you!” The service took place in the church’s sanctuary. It was livestreamed and can be viewed on YouTube by visiting www. firstparishyork.net and clicking on the appropriate image at the bottom of the homepage.

FINANCE & CAREER Businesses Can Save with an Energy Audit STATEWIDE With rising electricity, cooling, and heating costs, Maine’s small business owners and farmers are faced with an even greater energy burden affecting their bottom line. But these energy costs can be reduced with energy efficiency upgrades such as LED lighting, heat pumps, insulation, and streamlined operations. The Southern Maine Planning and Development Commission (SMPDC) has an energy audit program that can help small businesses and farmers identify and evaluate energy efficiency upgrades for their facilities. SMPDC Economic and Environmental Specialist Kelsey Pelton says, “SMPDC
provides heavily subsidized energy audits to small businesses and agricultural producers in Maine to help them improve energy efficiency, save money, and reduce fossil fuel emissions.” Pelton says the program helps raise energy efficiency awareness in the entire region, which will support the goal of energy independence and resilience in southern Maine. SMPDC recently received a Rural Energy for America Program (REAP) Energy Audits and Renewable Energy Development Grant in the amount of $100,000. This investment is used to subsidize the cost of energy audits for small businesses and farms. SMPDC works with the client and the local
commercial energy audit firm to prepare an energy audit report that recommends measures to maximize long term savings and minimize energy consumption. Clients will also receive recommendations on resources for financing, such as cash incentives, project and grant funding opportunities, and estimates on the return on investment. One recent success story is Nest and Mullen, a family-owned custom butcher shop in Kennebunk. An energy audit was the first step in ensuring a more efficient design in their new meat processing facility. After a fire broke out in its slaughterhouse in fall 2020, Nest and Mullen operated out of a temporary facility while making plans
to rebuild. Through an SMPDC energy audit, the company was able to analyze the energy use at its temporary facility to inform the design of a new facility. “As we were working on rebuilding our 1969 building, I read about the program in the newspaper,” said Leia Farnham of Nest and Mullen. “We knew we wanted to rebuild correctly, so we contacted SMPDC to learn more. The staff was excellent to work with – very nice and super respectful . . . . The process was very educational, especially about new technology, new products, etc. We would most definitely recommend SMPDC’s Energy Audit Program.” An energy audit is often the first step in making buildings
Planning or Rescheduling a Wedding? NATIONWIDE There are always a lot of moving parts when it comes to planning a wedding. Add a pandemic to the mix, and it can easily feel overwhelming. That said, many couples have proven that with a little ingenuity, f lexibility, and a few precautions, it is possible to pull off a beautiful and safe wedding. You can make a success of your wedding. To do so, BBB recommends the following tips: Fo l l o w g o v e r n m e n t guidelines. Don’t go with your gut feeling when making important decisions on how to keep your guests safe. In the United States, read the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)’s Considerations for Activities and Gatherings and Travel During COVID-19 for guiding principles to help you make wise decisions for you and your guests. Don’t forget that each state may have its own guidelines and restrictions on quarantine, travel, and gatherings. Come up with a plan. You want your wedding to be memorable and fun, but most importantly, you want it to be safe for you and your guests. Right away, decide how to protect the most important people in your life by setting up some clear guidelines and then stick to them. Take the time to sit down with your partner and make tough decisions about testing requirements, social distancing, how many guests to invite, and whether to wear masks. Having clear expectations, and communicating
those to your guests will make everyone happier in the long run. Come up with a “Plan B.” Despite your best laid plans, things may still go awry. Come up with a plan B you really love. For example, many couples have chosen to have a tiny backyard wedding with immediate family members while planning a larger gathering for later. Other couples, who don’t want to skip the big wedding, have decided to get legally married now and celebrate later or simply postpone their wedding to a future date. Hire an event planner. Event planners can be invaluable at this time. They have open lines of communication with wedding vendors and venues, they keep local restrictions in mind, and likely already have experience planning a pandemic wedding. Get recommendations
from friends and family who have used a wedding planner in the past, or look up wedding planners on advisory websites. Be sure to research each company’s business rating and read consumer reviews as well. Always read the contracts. Reading contracts is critical during a pandemic.

With f lorists, photographers, DJs, caterers, venue staff, and many other vendors to take into account that it’s important to make sure

It can also be tailored to specific energy concerns in a facility. It considers all aspects of a building’s energy use, including space heating and cooling, lighting systems, other power systems (such as exhaust fans or hot water heating), plug/industrial/process loads, and building envelope (the exterior of the building and its resistance to air, water, heat, and the like). T he SM PDC Energ y Audit Program is made possible by a grant through the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), part of a nationwide investment of $487 million in critical infrastructure that will help communities prioritize climate-smart solutions and environmental stewardship.

Smashing the Stigma with the Yellow Tulip Project WELLS Thirty years ago last month, Joey Detullio took his own life. Detullio was the son of Pam Coyne who, along with her husband Rick, is the owner of Exit Oceanside Realty, a Wells franchise of Exit Realty Corp. “I have been looking to support the fight against mental health and suicide for a few years, but I wanted it to be a local organization, and I found The Yellow Tulip Project last fall,” said Rick. The Yellow Tulip Project is a Maine-based nonprofit founded in 2016 by Julia Hansen, who was a high school sophomore at the time that
had lost two friends to suicide. The organization’s mission is to smash the stigma surrounding mental illness and to build a community of people who realize that hope happens when youth and community leaders work together. Being an avid golfer and chairman of the Wells Rotary Golf Tournament, Rick decided to hold a golf tournament to bring the community together and, with the help of his agents, raise money for The Yellow Tulip Project. The tournament was held at the Old Marsh Golf Club in Wells on May 23. “We had 88 players on a gorgeous day at [the club]. The Exit Oceanside Realty

Health & Fitness Free Fitness for Teens SEACOAST Planet Fitness is inviting high-schoolers aged 14 to 19 to work out for free at any of its locations throughout the USand Canada through August 31 as part of the High School Summer Pass initiative. The high school summer pass was formally known as the Teen Summer Challenge, which was the first program of its kind, launched in 2019, and saw more than 900,000 teens sign up and complete more than 5.5 million workouts over a threeand-a-half-month period. According to the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) Network Open, less than 15% of teens met the 60-minute daily physical activity recommendation during the pandemic. A national study commissioned
by Planet Fitness found that 93% of American teens want to stay healthy and active over the summer months, but lack motivation or access to do so. The high school summer pass offers a solution for teenagers when school sports programs, gym
classes, and after-school activities wind down. “Our study found that nearly all high school students agreed that when they are regularly physically active, they feel much better mentally. Fitness is about feeling good, too, and our hope is that the high school summer pass empowers teens to create life-long workout habits to help them succeed in
every aspect of their lives,” said Chris Rondeau, chief executive officer at Planet Fitness. To further motivate high schoolers to make fitness a priority, all participants who sign up are automatically entered into the Planet Fitness High School Summer Pass Sweepstakes. The fitness club will award one $500 scholarship in each state, and
one grand prize $5,000 scholarship at the end of the summer. These scholarships can be used for academic or athletic activities or programs. Locally, Planet Fitness locations can be found in Sanford, Biddeford, Dover, NH, and Portsmouth, NH. For more information, visit www.planetfitness.com/ summerpass.

Contact-Related Eye Infections The contact lens industry is booming. According to the market research experts at Grand View Research, Inc., the global contact lens market size was estimated at nearly $13 billion in 2019, and that market is expected to expand significantly by 2027. Contact lenses are an option for people who need corrective eyewear but don’t want to wear traditional eyeglasses. Contact lenses have become so popular that it’s easy to overlook the risks they pose, and many wearers have acknowledged they routinely engage in behaviors that put them at risk of contact lens-related eye infection. One study published in the Center for Disease Control and Prevention journal Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report in 2014 found that 99 percent of contact lens wearers reported at least one behavior that puts them at risk for an eye infection related to their use of contact lenses. The CDC also notes that 20 percent of patients with contact lens-related corneal infections suffered eye damage as a result. Two of the more significant threats to the eye health of contact lens wearers are microbial keratitis and corneal inflammatory events. Thankfully, adverse side effects like MK and CIEs are often preventable. Proper handwashing See LENSES on page 29 . . .

Safe Haven Human Society
WELLS Sk ippy is a beautif ul, healthy kitty born less than two years ago. He was adopted last year but was not ready socially, so he came back to Safe Haven and has been getting confidence training with the help of our great cat-loving team at our Cattail Farmhouse. Much braver and wiser now, Skippy thrives on affection, loves to be petted, and adores belly rubs. A sudden movement can still startle him, though, and he’s still uncomfortable being picked up and held; but as soon as he realizes he’s safe, he’s back to rolling around begging for more belly rubs. This sweet guy is up to date on his shots and is now ready to join a patient person or family who will give him time to adjust to his new environment. A home with older children and a confident, mellow kitty companion would be fine. Our shelter is at 1420 Post Road, next to the Wells Public Library. It remains closed to

KENNEBUNK We like big mutts and we cannot lie! Animal Welfare Society (AWS) has several large dogs available for adoption. These pups have been in the adoption center for a while; staff and volunteers have fallen in love with these big boys and can’t wait for their new people to do the same. Tank, a 93-pound threeyear-old, is a real ham with a passion for toys that roll and bounce, and who takes playing fetch very seriously. Tyson, a 100-pound three-year-old, is an energetic black beauty who loves people and giving hugs and will never say no to a treat. Oliver (pictured), a 71-pound two-year-old, is an adventurous dog who likes to climb and work his brain and who will be his person’s shadow wherever they go. Kane, a 68-pound sevenyear-old who has been certified a “good boy” by the staff, is a regal

but playful soul who likes car rides and going for long, leisurely walks. Some of the reasons, according to AWS, why big dogs are the best dogs are: They’re gentle giants. Despite their size, the majority of big-breed dogs are bred to be loyal, loving, and gentle. Many were originally bred to specifically help humans and, therefore, make perfect companions to almost any family; They’re rugged. Typically, the bigger the breed, the more rugged the dog. Bigger-breed dogs might be gentle with humans, but that doesn’t mean they can’t get out there and get dirty. Big dogs tend to tolerate rougher play, are built to be strong swimmers and runners, and have coats and temperaments that can withstand the elements and terrain of wherever they are; They’re great watchdogs. Because of their extra height and natural need to please, bigger breeds make excellent watchdogs. They’re always the first to see out the window when a stray leaf blows by or a squirrel gets into the bird feeder. Nosy neighbors or unwanted outdoor pests will always
be noticed by a large dog; There’s more to love. Bigbreed dogs might take up more space, but who doesn’t want a giant Newfie in their lap or a Dane curled up in their bed? Plus, when a person is having a hard day and needs a hug, there’s nothing like wrapping their arms around a giant teddy bear; They attract attention. It’s hard not to take notice when a large, 100-pound dog is walking down the street. Most big-breed pups immediately attract attention to themselves and their owners and open the gateway for conversation and friendly meetand-greets with strangers. Most who own large breeds will tell you that there’s a wide and friendly community of big dog lovers who are always on the lookout for new members.

Aaron Hill, 51 YORK – In the early morning of June 9, 2022, Aaron “Big A” Hill passed away in his home in York. The impact Aaron had on everyone’s lives around him is something to behold, and he will be missed by many. Aaron, born on October 9, 1970, was a York High School graduate and settled in the town of York thereafter. His beautiful wife, Cori, and his two boys, AJ and Rocky, were his entire world. Aaron and Cori were soulmates and the absolute love of each other’s lives. Having a family of his own was very important to Aaron, and when that wish came true, he would never look back. He grew up in Waterville, before moving to York with his mother, Trudy,
and his two brothers, Todd and Seth. Trudy has a special kind of love for Aaron, her middle child, that cannot be described. Todd is Aaron’s big brother, biggest fan, and best friend. His sister-in-law, Nikki, has known Aaron since high school, and they’ve always shared a unique bond. His niece and nephew, Macki and Nick, have many classic memories of their uncle that they’ll never let go of. His aunt, Sharon, his uncle, Jim, and his cousin, Kevin, grew up with Aaron very closely and love him dearly. Among these are many other family members who were closely connected to Aaron in their own individual way. It goes without saying that Aaron was a legend in his community. Having spent many years working at Ruby’s, his hilarious nature and positive attitude lit up the place. If you think of Ruby’s, you think of Aaron . . . simple as that. Everyone who stepped foot in that restaurant, more specifically the sports bar in the back, could sense his infectiously vibrant energy and shared said energy with him. He delivered line after line of hysterical nonsense like nobody else. It was his goal in life to make
people laugh – which has been achieved thousands of times. Over the years, Aaron has developed friendships that will be forever cherished. He was always cracking jokes and making sure everyone was happy. The list of friends he leaves behind would be pages long – that speaks for itself. Our small town will never be the same without his large, loud, colorful presence. Aaron loved going to the movies and watching the latest TV shows, taking trips with his family to Bar Harbor, cooking the most delicious food, fishing with his boys and watching them play baseball, basketball, and soccer, and just being around people having a good time. His presence is something that can never be replaced, as he is irreplaceable. He genuinely is one of a kind. Visiting hours will be on Friday, June 24, 4-7 p.m. in Lucas & Eaton Funeral Home, 91 Long Sands Road, York. Additionally, a Celebration of Life will be hosted at the Viewpoint in York on Sunday, June 26, 12:30-4:30 p.m. Visit www. lucaseatonfuneralhome.com for online condolences.

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

bereaved’s feelings in the patterns of community support which are psychologically beneficial. Flowers, however, express the inexpressible – they are symbolic.
missing – that the funeral was depressing. The funeral meets the bereaved’s need for support. Death throws people into despair and depression by separating them from one who has provided love, companionship, and security. The funeral and customs provide the means by which those close to them can give their support and share their suffering. The funeral period provides for the expression of sorrow. Only through talking about the past can the bereaved person realize the extent of the relationship with the deceased, and accept the loss and suffering. Only through weeping and talking to good listeners can they release their grief and feelings of guilt and hostility. Experts in grief therapy believe that it can be expressed best through rites, rituals, and ceremonies. The ceremony deals primarily with intellectual concepts and doesn’t fully engage the
125 Old Post Rd., Kittery, ME 207-439-4900 www.jspelkeyfuneralhome.com
There are three points to be stressed, finally, in connection with the tradition of funeral flowers. First, the role of flowers are both symbolic and aesthetic. They add great value to the richness and meaning of the ritual. Second, flowers represent sympathy extended to the bereaved. Third, flowers are sent to both the living and the dead. They are sent to the living as comfort and as tokens of respect for the deceased. We, at the JS Pelkey & Son and the Bernier Funeral Homes, hold the value of the work our local florists do in very high regard. We always encourage the families we serve to contact a local florist directly. Certainly there are national floral outlets that can be reached with a simple Google search but, honestly, the quality of these products are often substandard. Simply click the “Send Flowers” tab on our website and you will be directed to our list of trusted florists.
Nancy BrewerJones, 87 YOR K – Na nc y Rut h Weeks Brewer-Jones passed away at York Hospital on May 28, 2022, in the presence of her family. Nancy was born in Malden, MA, the beloved daughter of Edwin Moulton and Ruth Whittaker Weeks on March 29, 1935. A talented pianist and organist, she performed across New England with notable singers, such as D’Oyly Carte tenor Ted Gammage, by the age of ten. She later graduated from Melrose High School in 1953 and earned a full scholarship to MacMurray College in Jacksonville, IL, to continue her studies in music. She graduated in 1957 after being inducted into the Phi Nu and Alpha Lamba Delta honor societies. After graduation, Nancy travelled to Annapolis, MD, to watch the love of her life, Gardner Brewer, of Melrose, MA, graduate from the United States Naval Academy with the Class of ‘57. The two then married at the academy and set off to Texas where Gardner attended flight school with the US Air Force. Second Lieutenant Brewer excelled as a pilot and ultimately chose to specialize in flying B-52 Stratofortress Bombers. This led the couple on to exciting assignments across the globe in Texas, Arizona, Florida, Massachusetts, and Germany. Along the way, they had three wonderful children: Jennifer Ruth, Peter Gardner, and Suzanne Rebecca.

But in 1967, tragedy struck when Gardner was killed in action in Vietnam f lying low level reconnaissance missions in support of ground troops in battle. Picking up the pieces, Nancy relocated back to Melrose with her three young children and enrolled at Tufts University where she earned a master’s degree in Education in 1968 as a Gold Star widow. Nancy then took a trip to Palm Beach, FL, where she met and later married G. Morgan Jones III. The two moved the family to Philadelphia where Nancy modeled and joined the Republican Ladies of Pennsylvania. She eventually gave birth to son David Edward Morgan Jones, and subsequently accepted positions as administrator and music teacher at the Academy of the New Church at Bryn Athyn, PA, in 1976. Nancy went on to train hundreds of music students and vocalists. She directed several live-stage theater productions, including “The Music Man,” “Pirates of Penzance,” and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “Cats.” She also served as the executive secretary to the president of the institution, social director of the secondary schools, and director of the dormitory system for girls. Amidst all of this activity, she managed to earn a second master’s degree from Villanova University and was inducted into the National Honor Society in 1980. Since childhood, however, Nancy had dreamed of reconnecting with her family ties in Maine. So, in 1992, Nancy and Morgan permanently moved to York to enjoy life in America’s oldest county. For the next thirty years, she participated in local events, book and garden clubs, and frequented favorite “haunts” throughout the state. She had a voracious appetite for reading across a wide array of subjects. With family roots that date back to the Mayf lower, Nancy was proud of America and encouraged those around her to give back to society and serve the nation. She especially loved the military and readily volunteered to help deploy US troops as a Pease Greeter. Those who knew her recall her kindness, generosity, and interest in others. But she was also relent-

Most notably, this Gold Star widow and Blue Star mother loved her family and actively supported and encouraged their success as each grew older and forged paths of their own. She was exceptionally proud of her four children, Jennifer Ruth Brewer, Colonel (USAF, Ret.) Peter Gardner Brewer and wife Karen, Suzanne Brewer King and husband Bradley, and Colonel (USAF, Ret.) David
Edward Morgan Jones and wife Donna; and her eleven grandchildren and sixteen greatgrandchildren, and talked about all of them with a sparkle in her bright blue eyes.

many companies, so if you’ll be doing the bulk of your purchases online or at stores that need to place an order, start early. Experts recommend ordering wedding dresses, for example, at least six months early, which will allow plenty of time for a return, exchanges, and/or alterations. Give guests safe gifting options. An online gift registry will allow guests to purchase gifts from the safety of their home and ship them straight to yours. If you postpone or reschedule your wedding and you are already registered at a store, WeddingWire. com offers advice on registry etiquette during COVID-19. Go virtual. One way to keep your guest list large without endangering anyone’s health is to host a virtual wedding. Virtual parties are gaining in popularity as the pandemic drags on and can be a fun and safe way to celebrate your marriage with the ones you love. Keep your guests in the
know. Let your guests know about any changes to your wedding plans as soon as possible. In addition, be completely transparent about the number of guests that will attend your wedding as well as the safety precautions you’ll be implementing during the ceremony and reception. This will put your guests at ease and give them the information they need as they decide whether or not they will attend. Stay positive. The pandemic hasn’t been easy on anyone, so if you start feeling down when you have to change your plans yet again, know that you aren’t alone. According to The Knot’s Official Guidebook for COVID-19, 35% of couples who had upcoming weddings had to postpone to the next year or later. Remember, your wedding is just the beginning – you still have plenty of meaningful milestones ahead that you will be able to celebrate with all your friends and family.
New Land for Conservation
KITTERY & NORTH BERWICK Governor Janet Mills recently announced 20 new Land for Maine’s Future (LMF) conservation projects across the state that conserve lands and preserve public access to lakes, rivers, scenic views, and mountain vistas. With the selection of these projects, the LMF board has now approved a total of 25 new projects in the last year since the governor and legislature reinvigorated the program with $40 million in new state funding through the biennial budget. Funds are often matched with private and municipal subsidies. Additional projects focused on conserving working lands are expected to receive funding later this year. Included in the projects are See LAND on page 29 . . .

prior to handling contact lenses is a simple and effective way for wearers to reduce their risk for contact lens-related eye infections. Proper handwashing involves washing hands thoroughly with a mild soap, rinsing them completely and then drying them with a lint-free towel prior to inserting or removing lenses from the eyes. As simple as that may sound, many contact lens wearers have acknowledged they routinely disregard these guidelines when handling their lenses. In fact, a 2017 survey of 950 contact lens wearers sponsored by CooperVision found that while 88 percent of respondents believed bacteria on fingers could transfer to their eyes during lens insertion, 41 percent still did not wash their hands prior to insertion. That’s a big mistake, as a 2015 study published in the visual science journal Eye found that the risk of MK was 13 times higher for wearers who didn’t wash their hands prior to handling their lenses compared to those who did. The College of Optometrists notes that MK is a potentially severe, sight-threatening condition, which underscores the importance of adhering to basic contact lens safety practices like handwashing prior to handling. Many people who need corrective eyewear prefer contact lenses to traditional eyeglasses. Though contact lenses are safe, much of that safety rests in the hands of the wearers themselves. The Weekly Sentinel does not endorse any products or services suggested by third-party sources.

Track & Field Season Ends
ELIOT Marshwood Middle School’s last track and field meet was held Thursday, May 26, and the students had an
amazing experience. Many students broke personal records. Marshwood thanks its coaches for all their energy, expertise, and time.
Seniors Should Mix It Up Getting out and about is a vital component of many seniors’ daily lives, but it’s important that aging men and women recognize how much exercise is healthy for them. The Department of Health & Human Services notes that adults need a mix of physical activity to stay healthy. That mix should be a combination of moderate-intensity aerobic activities, which can include golfing, swimming and even gardening, and muscle strengthening activities like weightlifting that make the muscles work harder than usual. The DHHS recommends adults combine 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week with at least two days of
muscle-strengthening activities. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that these guidelines are safe for individuals who are 65 and older, generally fit, and have no limiting health conditions. Individuals who do not fit that criteria should consult with their physicians before beginning a new exercise regimen, as it’s possible that they could be putting their health at considerable risk if they attempt to follow guidelines designed for people who are generally fit. It’s also important that healthy seniors avoid overdoing it in regard to exercise. Though the DHHS suggestions are the minimum recommendations, going too far
Great Day for a 5K – Winners Announced YORK On June 4, runners and walkers, in tandem with baby carriages and dogs, celebrated the unofficial start of the summer season as York Hospital returned to its first in-person 5K road race since 2019. Participants traversed a 3.1-mile course over York Harbor’s Wiggly Bridge, through Steedman Woods, past Hancock Wharf, and back into historic York Village, returning to the finish line on York Hospital’s main campus. This year’s community event sported over 200 registrants, volunteers, and loyal fans, offering a welcome return to pre-pandemic times. Neighbors from all over the Seacoast played cornhole before and after the race, increased their heart rates with three-plus miles of morning exercise, and enjoyed snacks and refreshments generously donatbeyond those guidelines without first consulting a physician could increase seniors’ risk for injury, illness, or even death.

ed by Coca-Cola, Congdon’s Donuts, New England Coffee Co., Shaheen Bros., SYSCO, and W.B. Mason. Hospital President Dr. Patrick Taylor cheered the runners on as they crossed the finish line, commenting, “The community members who joined us today – from longtime veterans to first-timers – were all smiles and positivity. One man recalled his first York Hospital race some 30plus years ago, running with his daughters, and is now running with his grandchildren.” The York Police Department, York Volunteer Ambulance, York Parks & Recreation Department, York Department of Public Works, York Hospital staff and many community volunteers, including lifeguard Tristen Rohrabacher at The Wiggly Bridge, ensured a safe
race for all. Proceeds from the day topped $18,500 and will benefit The York Hospital Caring for All Fund, which supports transportation services, prescriptions and delivery, and assistance with medical bills for those in need or underinsured. The overall winners for the race were Jon Savage, of Hampton, NH, in the male category, with a time of 17:23; and Lucy Olson, of Portland, in the female category, with a time of 21:38.
