State Mailings Seek to Confirm Voter Eligibility By Samantha Hogan, originally published in “The Maine Monitor” STATEWIDE Yes, the state of Maine is mailing notices to some registered voters asking them to verify their address ahead of the November election. But the state’s top elections official says voters should not be alarmed. The Secretary of State mailed 248,227 postcards on June 15 to registered voters who did not cast ballots in either of the past two federal elections

clean up the list by determining whether people live at the address where they registered to vote. As of June, there are more than 1.1 million registered voters in Maine. Registered voters have 20 days to respond to the notice before election officials will begin to mark voters as “inactive” on the state’s voting lists. Undeliverable mail will also result in the voter’s registration being changed to “inactive.” Voters who miss the deadline can still vote in November, but they will be asked by election officials to verify their address with a driver’s license or
mailed bill that shows their street address, according to a spokeswoman for the secretary of state’s office. A person’s “active” voter status will be restored if they vote. Even if a registered voter does not respond to the mailing or vote in an upcoming election, the state legally cannot cancel a person’s voter registration until after the second general federal election from the time the notice was sent. “That’s a safeguard to make sure that eligible voters are not inadvertently or maliciously removed,”
Bellows said of the delay between making a voter “inactive” and purging them from the voter roll. Some addresses, especially apartment units that have changed tenants, may receive multiple postcards. Recipients should write “Does not live at this address” and mail the notice back to the department, Bellows See MAIL on page 4 . . .

The mailing is part of Maine’s routine maintenance of its voter lists under the National Voter Registration Act, and it will help election officials

Oh, My Lola – Turning 105!
ARUNDEL Last month, on June 5, Lola Matteau celebrated her 105th birthday at Bentley’s Saloon in Arundel. Matteau has been throwing her birthday fests at the local bikers’ watering hole for the last 15 years. Though she moved to Montana at the age of 94, she still comes back to Bentley’s every year for a party. On the day after the celebration, saloon owner Bentley Warren wrote on Facebook, “Today’s weather: beautiful, just like Lola last night at her 105-year celebration with family and friends. Lola rode in on her scooter, had her first dance with Bentley, played drums, and charmed all of us in her lovely
style!” Here’s to the next 15 years! Photo above: Lola dancing with saloon owner Bentley Warren.

Flynn Raises Funds for Ukrainian Families SOUTH BERWICK According to its Facebook page, the South Berwick Strawberry Festival is all about volunteerism and giving back to the community. This year, that community expanded to include people suffering from a devastating war 5,000 miles away. Mariana Budjer yn was born and grew up in Ukraine, but has been living in South Berwick for the past ten years. She is a writer and a research associate with the Project on Managing the Atom (MTA) at the Harvard Kennedy School’s Belfer Center. Her three children have grown up in South Berwick speaking English and Ukrainian. The family has visited Budjeryn’s mother country regularly to keep up their language skills and stay in touch with their heritage. One of those three kids is Budjeryn’s daughter, Maria Flynn, a rising sophomore at Marshwood High School. During this year’s Strawberry Festival, Flynn set up a fundraiser to help Ukrainians affected by Putin’s invasion. She made

July Priest and Anglican Anthems at St. Peter’s
CAPE NEDDICK The Reverend Todd R. FitzGerald, former chaplain at the renowned St. Stephen’s Episcopal School in Austin, TX, will be the celebrant and preacher at St. Peter’s by the Sea for the 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. services during the month of July. Services are held in the 125-year-old historic stone church at 535 Shore Road in Cape Neddick. Fr. Todd received a BA in English in 1991 from Texas A&M and a Master of Divinity
in 1998 from the Seabury-Western Episcopal Theological Seminary in Evanston, IL. He served for nearly a decade as a chaplain of St. Stephen’s, during which he was given the prestigious Pat Hazel Award for his outreach among the homeless. Fr. Todd recently accepted a position as rector (priest in charge) of St. John’s Episcopal Church in West Hartford, CT. He is joined by his wife, Amy, and daughters, Stella and Florine, and will reside at the
rectory for the month of July. This is the 13th summer for the FitzGerald family at St. Peter’s. A Festival of Anglican Music On Sunday, July 10, at 4 p.m., organist and Director of Music Harold Stover will conduct the choir of St. Peter’s in “A Festival of Anglican Music,” featuring music written for services of the Church of England and its affiliates from 16th-century England to 20th-century Chicago. Composers on the program include Thomas Tallis, Henry

Purcell, and William Henry Harris. The concert will conclude with a celebration of the 150th anniversary of the birth of
British composer Ralph Vaughan Williams. Admission is free. For more information, visit www.stpeters-by-the-sea.org.

It is recommended the postcard be given to the voter to fill out with their new address, be it a college dorm, home in another town, or nursing home. There is no law mandating that people vote. The state cannot strip a person’s voting rights away just because they have not recently cast a ballot. The only people who will be immediately removed from the state voters list are registered voters who confirm in writing that they have changed residences to a place outside the voting jurisdiction, or people confirmed to be deceased with a date and location of death, Bellows said. “We don’t want the government to unilaterally remove voters from the rolls without checks and balances to make sure

~ Arts & Entertainment ~ Bluegrass on the Hackmatack Porch
BERWICK The curtain may be going down inside the barn of Hackmatack Playhouse, but outside, at Hackmatack Farm, a whole new form of entertainment is in the works. The farm launched a bimonthly bluegrass summer porch series on Saturday, June 26, that will continue every other Sunday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the porch of the barn. The series will be hosted by local veteran bluegrass musicians. The first event welcomed all levels of musicians to bring instruments for a bluegrass jam. It was lead by Mr. Sippy and Old Time Dave Talmage with “a sack full of great songs and fine picking,” said Conor Guptill, farm proprietor. The jam was inspired in part by this year’s 50th anniversary show, “Smoke on The Mountain,” the last show

that will be performed at Hackmatack Playhouse, which was opened by Guptill’s grandfather, Carleton Guptill. This “gospel bluegrass comedy,” set in 1938 in the mountains of Tennessee, celebrates family and community. It plays July 29 to August 20 and is the perfect complement to the farms’s new bluegrass series.

As Guptill envisions it, the jams will be a bluegrass circle where the people who show up to play help make up the band. “As long as people know the chords, they can jump in,” said Guptill, a self-described music geek who played fiddle throughout his childhood. “If you have even rudimentary experience on your instrument you can jump in at any level.” Musicians and audience members will also be invited to tour the farm and see its bison, as well as the Mangalitsa long-haired pigs and the critically endangered San Clemente Island goats. The farm store will also be open, with its locally grown meats and locally produced foods. Future hosts

of the Salmon Falls River. The Hike Through History’s mission is to connect children with their sense of place and help them become aware of the changes that happen over time. This year’s theme was “Changing Times: Then and Now.” For this hike, eighth g ra d e r s f r om M a r shwood Middle School and third graders from Central School, as well as their teachers, worked in collaboration with members of Old Berwick Historical Society to create a hands-on thoughtful, and engaging learning experience for kindergarten through second-grade students. Students were transported back in time as they learned about life as an iceman, sailor, servant, tinsmith, photographer, healer, doctor, tavern keeper, and lumberjack. They also played “oldfashioned” games. The hike ended in a closing circle where Sammie Haynes led visitors in the song “River in Your Town,” a Hike Through History tradition. Following the hike, members of the South Berwick Town Hall provided a hot dog lunch for all. Many thanks to John Caverly, Nina D’Aran, David Creech, Nicole St. Pierre, Marilyn Keith Daly, Rachel Moore, Kim Clementi, the custodians of Marshwood Middle School and Central School, local town offices, and the police department for supporting and valuing this amazing community event.

Altrusa Keeps Up Altriusm YORK COUNTY The members of the Maine branches of the Altrusa Club are pleased to report they were able to continue their support in many different areas through the past two years of the pandemic. As social restrictions begin to be lifted, the organization will also be able to increase its community involvement. Altrusa is an international nonprofit organization whose volunteer services focus on literacy, homelessness, and identifying local community needs. It was founded in Nashville, TN, in 1917 by Dr. Alfred Durham as a chain of national clubs for business and professional women. The club’s most recent service and literacy projects include: donations to York Community Service Association; the Books On Call program, in cooperation with the York Public Library, through which patrons who cannot directly access the library can have books delivered to and picked up from them and are also given opportunities for social interactions with club
members; providing Footprints Food Pantry in Kittery with over twenty handmade f leece blankets in adult and children sizes, all made by club members, as well as ten gift cards for merchandise at Hannaford; donations to the York Ambulance Association for much-needed lift equipment to enhance the safety of the paramedics and patients; sponsorship of a golf hole at the York Chamber of Commerce golf tournament; and continued collaboration with the education department of the Center for Wildlife in York to create programs involving reading to children and providing books about the center’s Wildlife Ambassadors. Altrusa of Seacoast, ME, (in District 1), now 80 years old, is part of Altrusa International. The club welcomes new members to join as it continues its mission. Meetings are held on evenings of the second and fourth Wednesday of the month. For more information, visit www.districtone.altrusa.org/ seacoast.

Toyota Donates $180K to Help Children SEACOAST -
Jim Boyle, President of Toyota of Portsmouth, along with his senior management team, proudly presented a $180,000 donation to the Children’s Scholarship Fund NH, a program that provides K-12 scholarships to empower lowincome families to choose the schools that best fit their children’s needs. Kate Baker, Executive Director of the Children’s Scholarship Fund NH, accepted the donation on behalf of the organization. “Toyota of Portsmouth’s generous donation is allowing hardworking families the freedom to choose a private school that’s right for their child without the hardship of large tuition payments,” said Baker. “While families are responsible for a portion of the tuition, our scholarships through our corporate donations offer substantial financial support. We are very thankful for the support of Toyota of Portsmouth and their
commitment to families who rely on these scholarships.” “Toyota of Portsmouth is very proud to support the Education Tax Credit Scholarship Program and the mission of Children’s Scholarship Fund NH,” said Boyle. “We believe the Children’s Scholarship Fund NH is an important resource that allows families to choose the right school for their child’s edu-
cational needs. We are pleased to have the opportunity to join with Governor Sununu in expanding education opportunities for children. As Governor Sununu stated ‘Providing an opportunity for our children to get a great education must be one of our highest priorities in New Hampshire. In the past we have shown this is best achieved by keeping education policy closely tied to the parents of our children.’”
Life’s a Beach – Ogunquit Named Best in Top 25 OGUNQUIT This year, Ogunquit Beach ranked 23rd among the top 25 beaches in the U.S. according to Tripadvisor’s “Best of the Best” traveler’s choice page. According to the site, the awards are based on the quality and quantity of reviews and ratings from travelers who post to the site, gathered over a twelve-month period. As of 2021, the ratings also take into account the volume of “saves” for beaches on Tripadvisor, ref lecting the position that many travelers have been in during much of the pandemic: unable to travel, desperate to explore, and lusting after the beaches they wished they could visit. As of mid-June, Ogunquit Beach has received over 2,000

and private property rights. Clients who work with a member of the council are automatically supporting Children in Motion through member donations. In the past, YCCMAR has focused on providing scholarships to York County high school seniors and heating assistance to those in the community in need. Since 1999, the council has awarded over $268,000 in college scholarships
and over $179,000 in heating assistance during the cold winter months. In addition to their annual programs, the council has collected food, monetary contributions, and clothing for food pantries, homeless veterans, and shelters.

~ Ask The Computer Pro ~ Dear Computer Pro, I am bilingual (English and Spanish) and do a lot of work in both languages. I have not yet been able to find an easy way to switch back and forth between them on Windows, Word, or any of the browsers I’ve tried to use. Are there ways to enhance multilingual usage on computers and phones? Thank you, Bernardo Dear Bernardo, I think the best way to accomplish this would be to add a second language to your Windows operating system and then you can switch between the two whenever you like. This will also spill over into all Microsoft applications while other, third-party applications may need to be set manually. To add a new language to Windows, press the Windows key on your keyboard and start typing “language.” Click on “Language settings” in the search results (left column). With the language settings window open, click on the plus sign beside “Add a language.” A window will pop up for you to choose a language. Simply start typing the language you want to install in the search box. Once you have found the language you would like to install, click on it to select it and then click the “Next” button at the bottom of
the window. In the next screen, check off all the applicable boxes, making sure to check off “Set as my Windows display language.” I typically tell folks to just check everything off. Once you have made your selections, click the “Install” button at the bottom of the screen. You will need to sign out and sign back in, at which point you will now notice that Windows and all Microsoft apps are now in your new language. If you open Microsoft Edge, you may even notice that websites are now in the new language!. At this point, you can always go back to the language settings to switch between the languages. You can also add other languages. If you often switch bet ween lang uages, though, I suggest getting a keyboard for each language, as there are many differences between them to support various diacriticals and such that are particular to each language. Good Luck! Matt Dear Computer Pro, Now that Internet Explorer is scheduled for execution, what problems might someone using an older version of Windows and who uses that browser encounter? Also, if we do not use it, will we finally be able to uninstall it? Finally, do you have a favorite browser? Thanks, Maria
Dear Maria, Internet Explorer reached End of Life and End of Support on June 15, 2022. As a result, Microsoft will remove the application from Windows 10 in a future Windows update. Internet Explorer has already been removed in Windows 11. If you would like to remove Internet Explorer manually in Windows 10, you can go to “Settings,” then “Apps,” then “Optional features” and find Internet Explorer in the list of installed features. Select it and then click “Uninstall” to remove it from your system. Today, Microsoft Edge is built on the same framework as Google Chrome. If I were looking for a new browser, I just might stick with Edge. Most people today are creating Microsoft accounts that are tied to their Windows account. This allows you to easily synchronize all your browser data like bookmarks, usernames, and passwords under the same Microsoft account. In the event of a system failure, when you log in to your new computer with your Microsoft account, all your browser settings will automagically come over to the new browser. I have been a Chrome user for so long that I am not sure I would ever change. Most all the mainstream browsers can cloud-sync your settings, so
it is just personal preference. The fact that Edge is integrated with Windows just makes it an easier solution for many. I tend to keep a few different browsers installed so I can evaluate sites that might not look or perform as expected in Chrome. Sometimes they render better in Edge. Sometimes they render better in Firefox. Good luck! Matt Dear Computer Pro, A while back, I was working online (using Chrome), when a very loud and bright “alert,” ostensibly from Microsoft, appeared on my screen that froze the computer. It told me that shutting down would cause me to lose files, and that I should call a number they gave instead. I assumed it was a scam and took a chance by shutting down my computer anyway (though pushing the “off” button didn’t work; I had to do Ctr+Alt+Del). Luckily, nothing was lost. Is there a way to avoid having something this happen again? If it does, do you have any advice on what to do? Thank you, Tony Dear Tony, Don’t you just love when that happens? Years ago, I would have told you to stop surfing those kinds of sites; but, today, these types of behaviors can happen on even the more reputable sites if a hacker was able to
WS
gain access. These windows that you see are nothing more than a browser popup, sometimes running in full-screen mode. With a little code, they can disable closing the browser window and even disable right-clicking. The only way to close these is to go into Task Manager (easiest is hold down Ctrl+Shift and then press Esc) and then right-click on that process and choose “End task” from the popup menu. That should make the program go away. I would just stay away from whatever site you were on because they have likely been hacked and don’t even know it. Beyond staying current with Microsoft Windows Updates, using a current browser, and making sure you are protected with a solid security suite like Webroot (www.amzn. to/3OHDLvm), there’s really not much more you can do. Websites get hacked every day, and they will exploit any vulnerabilities they can find via your browser. Just stay up to date with everything and you should be fine. Good luck!

Health & Fitness The Real Way to Remove Ticks
STATEWIDE When it comes to ticks, timely removal of these embedded pests is key, as this reduces the transmission of saliva that could carry harmful diseases, such as Powassan, that can be transmitted in just minutes. Despite the stories you may have heard about removal remedies that have been passed down through the ages, do not twist the tick off or jerk the tick, as this may cause the tick’s mouthparts to remain embedded in the skin. Suffocation with Vaseline, fingernail polish, dish soap and cotton balls, or using a hot match can be dangerous and ineffective. Using a Q-tip to circle the embedded tick to
distract it and get it to detach is another old wive’s tale. Some ticks are more dangerous than others. If bitten, consider identifying the tick type to determine if illnesses could be an issue. The website www.tickencounter.com includes photos of ticks to help with identification. A photo of the tick can also be uploaded to this site, and the TickSpotters service will respond within 24 hours with a confirmed ID and health-risk level. What many don’t realize is that there are only a few ticks that typically transmit the Lyme-causing bacteria. Blacklegged (also referred to as the Deer tick) and Western Blacklegged ticks are the biggest offenders. Other species of ticks

can also carry many diseases. While some studies suggest Lyme transmission can take 24 to 72 hours after attachment, there are many other infections that you can get with varying transfer times. For instance, Powassan, a rare, severe disease causing headaches, vomiting, and fever, may take as little as 15 minutes to contract, and recent deaths from this disease have been reported in Maine and Connecticut. A bite from a Lone Star tick can result in a fatal allergy to red meat, so swift removal is essential. If bitten by a tick, it is important to dislodge the embedded bug from the skin’s surface as soon as possible to minimize the effects of the bite. Use fine-tipped tweezers (as recommended by the CDC) to take hold of the tick as close as possible to the skin’s surface and pull upward in a steady motion. Use rubbing alcohol or hydrogen peroxide to clean the bite area and the tweezers when done. Attached ticks should be never be disposed of or destroyed. Keep them in a zip-loc bag for identification and testing. Remember, a diseased tick does not necessarily transmit illness. If you experience flulike symptoms – such as fever, headache, or muscle or joint pain – stomach issues, or a targetshaped rash, which can develop within three to 30 days, call your doctor. If bitten by a tick in area where Lyme is prevalent, a physician may suggest and prescribe a precautionary dose of antibiotics to reduce the risk of getting infected.

Women’s Health Care After Dobbs STATEWIDE With the recent Supreme Court decision (Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization) to overturn the decades-long precedent of allowing women the right to choose abortion care throughout the U.S., women in Maine may now be wondering where they stand. Under current state law, abortion care remains legal in the state of Maine (as well as in New Hampshire and Vermont). As stated by Planned Parenthood of Northern New England, “We do not anticipate any immediate changes. . . . [However], there may be delays in accessing abortion care as more patients travel from states where abortion becomes illegal or harder to access, to states where abortion remains legal.” In Maine, the right to choose abortion care has been
protected by state law since 1993. Abortions are allowed up to the point of fetal viability. After that point, abortions are only legal if the health or life of the pregnant person is at risk. They must be performed by a licensed physician, physician assistant, or advanced practice registered nurse. Since 2019, all private health insurance plans that cover prenatal care must include abortion coverage without exclusions or limitations, though religious employers that offer private insurance are not required to provide this coverage. For more information, women can consult their physician or contact family planning organizations such as Maine Family Planning or Planned Parenthood of Northern New England.

Health & Fitness Enjoy a Safe and Happy Independence Day Independence Day is a celebration of the United States of America. The holiday is marked by fanfare and large parties, complete with barbecues, fireworks, and parades.
As fun as July 4th festivities typically are, injuries, particularly those involving fireworks, are a concern that celebrants should not take lightly. An estimated 11,000 people
Early Warning Signs of Oral Cancer Oral cancer is a significant threat across the globe. Data from the World Health Organization indicates that more than 450,000 new cases of oral cancer are diagnosed each year. The Oral Cancer Foundation notes that oral cancers are part of a group of cancers referred to as head and neck cancers. All cancers in that group are potentially dangerous, but oral cancers account for roughly 85 percent of all head and neck cancer diagnoses, which underscores the importance of routine oral health checkups. The Moffitt Cancer Center® in Florida notes that many dentists perform oral cancer screenings during routine checkups, which dispels the notion that checkups are unnecessary for individuals who practice proper dental hygiene every day. The American Dental Association notes there is not a one-size-fits-all regimen for dental health. However, at least two visits to a dentist per year can ensure teeth stay clean and afford dentists opportunities to screen for oral cancers and detect other issues, including gingivitis. In addition to scheduling routine checkups, individuals can learn to spot the common symptoms of oral cancer. The Moffitt Cancer Center urges individuals to seek medical attention if any of these signs persist for more than two weeks: A sore, irritation, or thickness in the mouth or throat; white or red patch on the inside of the mouth; feeling that something is caught in the throat; hoarseness or other vocal changes; persistent coughing; difficulty chewing, swallowing or speaking; difficulty moving the jaw or tongue; numbness in the mouth; swelling in the jaw or neck; frequent nosebleeds; ear pain that does not affect your hearing; unexplained weight loss. It’s important that individuals recognize that the presence of these symptoms is not necessarily indicative of the presence of oral cancer. Some of these symptoms could indicate the presence of other issues that also
require medical attention. For example, frequent nosebleeds could indicate high blood pressure or a blood clotting disorder, while unexplained weight loss is a potential indicator of diabetes. Oral health is important, and routine checkups are vital to maintaining that health. Such checkups can help dentists spot various conditions, including oral cancer.

visited the emergency room for fireworks-related injuries in 2016, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. However, fireworks aren’t the only danger this time of year. In order to remain safe, individuals can heed these tips. Do not drink and drive. Alcohol consumption may accompany Independence Day festivities. For those planning on using a car to get to and from parties, it is essential to designate a driver who will not imbibe. Otherwise, utilize any number of ridesharing services or available taxis. Swim smar tly. Always swim with a buddy, and consider hiring a lifeguard if you’ll be hosting a pool party and cannot keep a watchful eye on guests in the pool. Adults also should not swim intoxicated, as it can impede the ability to stay afloat and may lead to risky behaviors. Leave fireworks to the pro-
fessionals. Watch a public fireworks display instead of lighting fireworks on the street or in the backyard. Exercise caution wit h sparklers. Kids running around with sparklers in hand could be a recipe for disaster, as sparklers burn extremely hot. Make sure children do not wave them around or others can get burned. Keep a bucket of water handy to properly extinguish the sparklers. Review safe boating practices. If July 4th festivities find you out on the water, be sure that life jackets are worn, and set boating and water safety rules for the family. Check in with a vet. The Fourth of July can be traumatic for pets not accustomed to fireworks and other loud noises or crowds. Behavior therapy, medication, and ensuring that pets do not run away from home and get lost may be necessary. Watch food temperatures. Do not leave food out in the hot sun for too long; otherwise,
harmful bacteria can grow and potentially cause foodborne illnesses. The USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service says to never leave food out of refrigeration for more than two hours. If the temperature is above 90 degrees F, food should not be left out for more than one hour. These are some of the safety strategies that can keep Independence Day celebrations both safe and enjoyable.

FINANCE & CAREER Fishermen Get Relief
COASTAL MAINE On June 23, Governor Janet Mills announced action that will deliver relief for Maine’s commercial fishermen and aquaculturists. The Maine Department of Marine Resources (DMR) will use $8.3 million in federal funding to reimburse resident commercial fishermen, dealers, processors, and aquaculturists for the cost of their 2022 licenses and additional fees associated with licenses, such as trap tag fees for lobster license holders.

Fake Streaming Service Activation Scam NATIONWIDE If you’ve signed up for a streaming service, such as Netflix, Disney+, PBS Passport, or Hulu, be careful when activating your account. Unfortunately, scammers are trying to steal login information and other personal data with fake websites that appear to come from the streaming service provider. How the scam works: You purchased a subscription to a streaming service. To activate it, you need to log in on your web browser. A quick search brings up several links with the streaming service’s official name. You click on the or in the early start-up phase of a new business.

first result. Howeve r, t he website doesn’t look quite right. For example, as soon as you click the link, the site prompts you to update your web browser. Scammers have set up a lookalike website to trick you into downloading malware. If you click “Update” or any other button, you could download a virus that gives scammers access to your personal information. It’s best to close the page immediately. Other times, when you click on the search result, you’re directed to a website that features the official logo and branding of your streaming service. However, it looks a little (or sometimes a lot) different than what you remember. If you enter your user ID and password on a lookalike site, it goes into the hands of scammers. These con artists then have the information they need to access your real account on the official website–as well as anywhere else you use that username and password.

site. Scammers can make fake websites look legitimate in search engine results, but they can’t copy a website’s official URL. Before you click on a website, take a close look at the URL. Check too that it is spelled correctly. Scammers hope you’ll overlook this and click without a second thought. Be wary of ads and sponsored links. Sometimes scammers use ads to get their lookalike website to appear first in the search results. Remember, just because a website is at the top of the list doesn’t mean it’s the official website. Be caref ul with your login information. Always make sure you are on an official website before entering your username and password. Never enter this information into third-party websites. Keep in mind, too, that legitimate customer service representatives generally do not ask for passwords over the phone or through an email. For more information, go to www.bbb.org.

FINANCE & CAREER What to Know About Canceling Credit Cards NATIONWIDE Closing a rarely used credit card may sound like a good idea, but it’s not as simple as some people may think. “Many don’t realize that closing a credit card can negatively impact their credit scores in the short term,” said Michael Sullivan, a personal financial consultant with Take Charge America, a national nonprofit credit counseling and debt management agency. “That said, sometimes it may be worth taking the hit to your credit score — especially if it means saving yourself from
overspending and falling deeper into debt.” Sullivan offers several tips to help consumers determine whether closing a credit card is the right move: When to Close a Credit Card Tempted to spend: If you have a hard time controlling your spending, closing the account may be your best option to avoid the temptation; Card fees: If a card has high annual fees, consider paying off the balance and canceling it. You can also transfer the remaining balance to a credit card
with better interest and fees. Remember, though, there may be a balance transfer fee; Fraud alert: If your credit card is compromised and freezing the account won’t protect you from fraud, consider canceling the card; Splitting up: If a joint account needs to be separated, as in a divorce, canceling makes sense; Balance transfer: If you transferred a balance to a lower-interest card, consider closing the higher-interest account, unless it’s been open for more than three years. However, if
you have a longer history with the card, or if there’s a cancellation penalty, just put it away or cut it up. When Not to Close a Credit Card Rarely used: Canceling a rarely used card can hurt your debt-to-credit ratio and drop your credit score. To remove the temptation to spend, consider cutting or storing the card without closing the account; Making payments: Whether an account is open or closed, finance charges accrue when there’s a balance on the card. Paying down the balance im-
What to do When an Item is “Out of Stock” NATIONWIDE National exper ts are predicting record numbers in spending on holiday-related items. There is also a concern if many of the items on consumer’s holiday lists will be available on the shelf or online and are faced with the disappointing words: “Sorry, this item is currently out of stock.” That’s especially true when challenges are still occuring with supply chains. But does that mean the words “out of stock” are the end of the line? Not at all. With a little determination and some creative thinking, the item might be found and purchased. Here are BBB’s tips for finding items that are sold out in stores. How to Buy Out of Stock Items Tr y a different store. Avoid limiting the search to the most popular brick-andmortar stores. Consider researching multiple vendors’ websites to see who is carrying stock. If the large chain stores are out of what you need, try a reputable independent shop or a different type of store entirely. For example, when toilet paper was in short supply, some consumers found stock at hardware stores, restaurant suppliers, or office supply stores. Check websites frequently. If there is an item out of stock when shopping online, don’t give up hope. Bookmark the product page and check back daily. Many vendors restock high-demand products on a regular basis. Sign up for restock alerts. Many companies offer restock alerts, which are usually sent by email. For example, on
Amazon, look for an availability alert on a product’s information page. Amazon will send an e-mail when the item becomes available. Keep in mind, you still have to go to the website or store to make the purchase once the alert arrives. Go straight to the product’s source. If a brand name item isn’t available from a favorite retailer, check the brand’s official website to see if it’s in stock there. If not, consider getting in touch by emailing customer service or reaching out through social media. Take advantage of return policies. If you suspect that an item will sell out quickly but you aren’t sure if you really need or want it, review the store’s return policy. If a store gives you the option to return an item and offer refunds, you may want to purchase the item as soon as it’s available. You can always send it back if it doesn’t fit your needs, but you may regret not purchasing if the stock runs out for good. Search for products on resale sites. If a product appears to be gone for good, don’t lose hope. Some resale sites may offer the hard-to-find products. That said, watch out for scammers when looking for this year’s hottest toy or a product that is very popular. Con artists prey on desperate shoppers by pretending to have an item that is impossible to find, accepting payments, and then never delivering the product.
Consider a personal shopping service. Personal shoppers can do the heavy lifting if there is a very specific product you are hunting for. Be sure to read reviews and ask for recommendations from friends and family members before deciding to hire. Try out a subscription service. Subscription services offer regular deliveries of cleaning products, clothing and more. If the local stores are running out of fresh produce, for example, consider a meal delivery service. Be patient. Sometimes, despite the best efforts, it just may not be possible to find most popular items. This was the case for many consumers hoping to purchase new PS5 and Xbox Series X+S gaming systems. Restocks have sold out almost immediately every time, thanks to limited supplies and bot resellers. If this happens to you, be patient. You may have to wait a few months until suppliers can
meet consumers’ demands. The Weekly Sentinel does not endorse any products or services suggested by third-party sources.

Barbara Ann Gowen, 75 YOR K – Barbara Ann (Madden) Gowen, of York, passed away on June 21, 2022, with her family by her side. She was born November 13, 1946, in Lawrence, MA, to the late James H. and Marion E. (Lawn) Madden. Barb mar r ied R ichard Gowen on August 26, 1970. A devoted wife, she moved her household around the country during Dick’s Air Force career, making friends everywhere she went. She focused on raising the couple’s two daughters and creating a warm, inviting, and very clean home for her family for many years. Her daughters and
husband always knew how much they were loved. Prior to her marriage, Barbara graduated from the University of Massachusetts Amherst with a bachelor’s in education and was an elementary school teacher. She later enjoyed substitute teaching before returning full-time to work at Liberty Mutual once her girls were grown. All her life, Barb was an active lady who loved being with people. If something looked like fun, she wanted to try it . . . even jumping onto a piece of spinning playground equipment in her 70s when she saw her grandson enjoying it. Though she’d admit to having an “Irish temper,” she was also quick to laugh her fullbody laugh. Barb loved traveling with family and friends, walking alongside the ocean, reading, baking, and a good cup of tea. She was involved in her community and took it upon herself to get things done that needed to be done. She was a longtime member of York First Parish Church, where she played in the bell choir and served on many committees through the years.
Barbara is survived by her loving husband of almost 52 years, Richard Gowen; daughter Heather Walsh and her husband, Devon, of Darien, CT; daughter Hollie Wolverton and her husband, Brad, of Presque Isle, ME; and grandchildren Jack, Katie, Tommy, and Chase. She also leaves behind many wonderful friends, including lifelong pals Beverly Longueil and Connie Patton. In addition to her parents, Barb was predeceased by her brother, James A. Madden. Calling hours will be held 4-6 p.m. on Friday, July 1, in the Lucas & Eaton Funeral Home, 91 Long Sands Road, York. A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, July 2, in the First Parish Church, 180 York Street, York. 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.
sis, John was determined to fight his cancer and live out his life to the best of his abilities. John will be remembered fondly as a true engineer – someone who could find a way to fix almost anything in the field with his hands and whatever tools he had at his disposal. He loved vintage cars and motorcycles, historical firearms, and the green cabin in the northern Maine woods called the Rats Nest where he created some of his most cherished memories with family and friends. Predeceased by his parents, Rowland M. and Dorothy M. Hussey, of Clifton Park, NY, John is survived by: his sister, Sandra Hussey Donnelly; son, Robert: grandchildren, Hudson and Addison; and his loving partner of 15 years, Laura Moriarty. Services will be held at Johnson’s Funeral Home, North Berwick, at 11 a.m., Saturday, July 9. Followed by interment in the Friends Quaker Burying Grounds in North Berwick.

~ News ~ The History Behind Nostalgia WELLS This past school year, Wells High School senior Emma Badger was assigned an etymology project in her World Literature class and chose to analyze the history of the word “nostalgic.” The following is a version of her report, edited here for length. Nostalgia; the desire or longing for the past. We all feel nostalgic at some point in our lives. Whether it’s the smell of mom’s baking from the kitchen, hearing an old friend’s voice, or reading a letter from your former, favorite teacher. These simple things are reminders of our previous life and the people
we once were. But when did we, as a society, collectively start using this word so poetically? The etymology behind “nostalgia” has a unique timeline of semantic broadening that is worth sharing. Even though nostalgia is now used to express a good memory, it wasn’t always so positive. The word originated from the Latin roots “nostos,” meaning homecoming, and “alga,” defined as pain. In 1688, Swiss medical student Johames Hofer noticed patterns in his patients that were soldiers and homesick. They would experience complete mania with
returning home and become physically ill. Some symptoms included loss of appetite, fainting, and heightened suicide risk. He called this cureless condition “Nostalgic.” As a result of people experiencing this sickness, they would often receive little to no empathy [since] people thought it could simply be controlled by their emotions. This view of nostalgia as a neurological issue continued throughout the 17th and 18th centuries. As time passed, the word took on a second life defined by a sentimental longing or a regretful memory. In 1874, Appleton’s Journal wrote, “Nostalgia may be characterized in four words – sadness, sleeplessness, loss of ap-
petite, and weakness . . . . He embellishes the memories attached to places where he was brought up, and creates an ideal world where his imagination revels with an obstinate persistence.” The whole concept of nostalgia being a sickness or an unwanted feeling took a shift by the end of the 19th century and formed into its most frequent interpretation. Being nostalgic is now an artistic way to express one’s emotion in literature or art. It can evoke affection for the past and is extremely romanticized culturally. The current idea of nostalgia, a “wistful yearning for the past,” is believed to have come about from French Literature commonly used by poets,

His volunteer, advocacy, and community building efforts were recently recognized, as the recipient of the Daughters of the American Revolution “Good Citizen” award. Academically, he has received awards in English, Business Law, and Career Planning and Financial Literacy.

artists, and philosophers. When [the author interviewed] a family member, it was clear that the feeling of nostalgia is in fact a positive emotion that most humans experience. The woman who spoke about this was born in 1949 and has lived a long life, full of experiences. After being asked the direct question of why she likes the feeling of being nostalgic, she gently stated, “Nostalgia is an experience that gives me a sense of comfort. I’m constantly changing as a person. It helps me to remember the past and reminds me of who I’ve been . . . and then compare that to who I am today. I don’t think missing something from your past should ever be seen as something negative, rather a reminder of the good parts in life. Because there are so many.” Everyone experiences nostalgia and reminisces about a feeling they miss at some point. The term “nostalgic” went through a long life of semantic broadening in the English language [and] will continue to evolve over time and be passed down by generations.
right away. We knew that only time would tell if the kitten’s jaw would heal, or if we needed to step up for further surgery. We’re happy to share with you all that the kitten came home from the hospital recently and is happily lapping up his food! We hope that, as the weeks go by, this little fellow will get stronger and his jaw will mend and he will be able to eventually chew. Facing this sudden unexpected expense, we approached our hardworking shop team and asked them if they would consider working an extra day each week to raise more money to fatten up our emergency vet budget. Both Dori and Lynne said yes and are going to be our Compassionate Tuesday shop cashiers.
Please help make our Compassionate Tuesdays a great success and save the lives of unlucky kitties who need costly lifesaving care. You can also make a special donation to our emergency fund by going to www.safehavenhumanesociety.org.

old kitten was at a vet hospital with a severely injured eye and broken jaw (photo). The owners couldn’t afford the vet bills, so they chose to surrender the kitten to us, and we assumed responsibility for the expense. We’re No Kill, but we would never want any animal to endure a horrid life and suffer just to keep it alive. The eye removal wasn’t our worry. The jaw was. We consulted several vets for advice on this case to make sure there was hope for a healthy life before putting the kitten through any more. They couldn’t promise he’d be able to eat or live a normal life with his jaw so damaged. Our hearts told us this little guy deserved this chance and that we’d find some way to afford his surgery. We took a leap of faith and went forward medically and financially. We arranged to have his eye removed, as it was irreparable and had become infected. We also had a feeding tube put in, in case this kitten couldn’t eat

Apple Turnovers for 4th of July!
Celebrations are common in July. American Independence Day is celebrated each July 4th, and that momentous occasion lays the foundation for a month-long celebration of Americana. Since the United States first gained its independence from Great Britain, many things have been described as representing the best of American culture. Rock-nroll and baseball have long been deemed “as American as apple pie.” But how did apple pie come to be synonymous with America? Few fruits have been associated more with America than the apple, due in large part to John Chapman, affectionately known as Johnny Appleseed. Chapman was born in Massachusetts during the Revolutionary War. Chapman’s father fought in the war, then survived to return home to farm and teach his son the family business. The younger Chapman is said to
have spent 40 years clearing land and planting apple seeds in Midwestern states. Apples thrived and became important foods for early settlers. Apples were easy to grow and store for use throughout the year, plus they were – and still are – versatile fruits that can be used in many different recipes. Apple pie is a popular dish, but a close cousin to pie – turnovers – can be just as delicious. Turnovers are handheld desserts made with many of the same ingredients as pie. They are small pastries made by covering one half of a piece of dough with filling, folding the other half over on top, and then sealing the edges. Apple turnovers can be a sweet treat for July 4th barbecues or other events this summer. Enjoy this recipe, courtesy of PillsburyTM. The Weekly Sentinel does not endorse any products or services suggested by third-party sources.
Weekly Recipe: Easy Apple Turnovers Ingredients:
Directions:
1-1⁄2 cups thinly sliced, peeled apples (roughly 11⁄2 mediumsized apple)
1. In a 2-quart saucepan, mix apples, brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of the water and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until bubbly. Reduce heat to low; cover and cook 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until apples are tender.
1⁄4 cup packed brown sugar 2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon granulated sugar 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon butter or margarine 1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla
1 box refrigerated pie crusts 1 egg
2. In a small bowl, mix flour, granulated sugar and salt. Gradually stir into apple mixture, cooking and stirring until mixture thickens. Remove from heat; stir in butter and vanilla. Cool 15 minutes.
over apple mixture; firmly press edge to seal. Flute edge; cut small slits in several places in top crust. Brush top with remaining egg mixture.
3. Meanwhile, heat oven to 350 F. Let pie crust pouch stand at room temperature for 15 minutes.
6. Bake 25 to 35 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Serve warm or cool. Drizzle with icing, if desired. Serves 4.
4. Remove pie crust from pouch; unroll crust on ungreased cookie sheet. Spoon cooled fruit mixture evenly onto half of crust to within 1⁄2 inch of edge.
Expert tips: Tart apples, such as Granny Smith or McIntosh, make flavorful pies. Braeburn or Gala apples provide good texture and a slightly sweeter flavor.
5. In a small bowl, beat egg and 1 tablespoon water; brush over edge of crust. Fold untopped half of crust

Local Students Given Shapiro Award
KENNEBUNK Two York County high school seniors were recently awarded the Arnold Shapiro Community Service Award by Congregation Etz Chaim in Biddeford. Kennebunk High School graduate Elaina Hammond (pictured), daughter of Denise and Greg Hammond, and Biddeford High School graduate Josiah Aranovitch, son of Jennie Aranovitch and David Versel, each received a $500 award to assist with the cost of their higher education. Hammond will attend the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts in Liverpool, England, to pursue a BA in acting, while Aranovitch will attend Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Worcester, MA, to pursue a combined BS/MS
degree in data science. The scholarship, which supports post-secondary study in college, professional or trade school, or other post-secondary training, is provided annually to members of Congregation Etz
Chaim who are graduating high school seniors and have been selected by the synagogue’s service award committee. The Arnold Shapiro Community Service Award was created to honor lifelong Biddeford resident and former present of Congregation Etz Chaim Arnold Shapiro, who self lessly dedicated himself to the congregation for more than 30 years. Congregation Etz Chaim, founded in 1906, is a full-service synagogue located in Biddeford that serves the York County community. A non-denominational congregation, it promotes Jewish cultural, social, educational, and religious activities in an exceptionally welcoming and inclusive environment.

~ Sports & Outdoors ~ KFL 5K Turns 25 KENNEBUNK As the Kennebunk Free Library (KFL) 5K hits its quarter-century mark this year, the library is remembering the runners, supporters, volunteers, trustees, and staff who have made the race what it is today. The very first KFL 5K was held on a cold and drizzly Saturday in October 1998. Then Assistant Director Janet Cate and Friend of KFL Lynn Gobeil were the driving force behind the effort. Former trustee Mary Frances Smith remembers the first race as a “low-key” event with not many participants. Former staff member Nancy Downing recalls that she and coworker Susan Mirisola tackled the course in their Bean boots. Both were delighted to reach the end of the race on Park Street and then go inside for a sip of something warm. Despite the miserable weather, the race was deemed a tremendous success, with 89 runners and 18 sponsors bringing the library a profit of $2,600. The trustees at the time speculated that the race had tremendous growth potential. During the fifth-edition race, Teri Collard was recruited as a volunteer, which proved to be a serendipitous decision. For the next sixteen years, Teri worked tirelessly to transform the event. It was under her watch that the race was moved from its October date. Larry Dwight, a former trustee and avid sailor,
had done some research and determined that the second week of July provided the most reliably sunny weather – advice that has proven apt over the years. It was also Teri, along with then library director Stephanie Limmer who changed the race course to bring it closer to the library, making possible the post-race party on the library lawn. The 5K has grown in popularity, drawing between 500 and 600 runners per year, pre-pandemic. Between registrations and the generosity of over 70 sponsors, the 5K now accounts for nearly 20% of the $200,000 needed to be raised each year to support the library. The last two editions have been modified events to accommodate health concerns. But this year, the race is in person again, with all of the traditions, plus some new changes. The 25th edition 5K, being held Friday, July 8 at 6 p.m., will introduce runners to a new race course, beginning

MHS Football Ranked Among Top 50 SOUTH BERWICK & ELIOT Marshwood High School’s football team was recently ranked 34th among the nation’s top 50 small-town high school teams in a feature on the website Stadium Talk. According to the author, Tony Adame, “there’s something special about growing up in a small town. The traditions. The bonds. The community. And, if you’re lucky, you might mix in a pretty amazing high school football team.” He goes on to state, “Small towns across America produce some of the best high school football being played anywhere, regardless of population size. All 50 states have smalltown gridiron powerhouses that define communities for decades.” For the purposes of the article, a town is considered small if it has a population of 10,000 or less. Drawing on stats through August 2021, the article featured what
Adame deemed to be each state’s best small-town team based on rankings, winnings, and notable players and coaches. Highlighted among the MHS football team’s accomplishments were its .779 winning percentage since 2010 and its 20 state championship victories starting in 1966. Notable players listed were Steve Knight, Drew Gregor, Bretty Gerry, and Justin Bryant, who won the Fitzpatrick Trophy as the state’s top senior football player after the 2019 season. Of the highlighted coaches, the article states, “Former Marshwood High head coach Rod Wotton led the team to six consecutive state titles from 1974 to 1979 as Marshwood won eight state titles in the 1970s. The 1980s were almost as good: seven state titles and a streak of four straight from 1983 to 1986. Current coach Alex Rotsko has brought back the
glory years, with four state titles in nine seasons. Rotsko’s teams have gone 38-2 from 2017 to 19 with two state titles.” For the complete feature, visit www.tinyurl.com/2p9cz9pt.
and ending in the library parking lot. KFL is partnering with its neighbors Hope Cemetery and Woods and Friends of Hope Cemetery and Woods to bring a portion of the race through their beautiful – and beautifully maintained – trail system. Not only will the race be more scenic, it will be safer for the increased number of runners and walkers. The party on the library lawn is also back for the first time since 2019. It will feature music by the Kennebunk River Band, a bag lunch
(free to runners, $5 for everyone else), and a cash-only beer tent. It will also feature special raffles, as well as an in-person peek at the fabulous items being offered in the library’s online 5K auction. Prizes will be awarded for the top male and female finishers in each of nine age categories. The virtual 5K was a pandemic-necessitated addition, but it proved to be popular even as things improved. This year, the virtual race can be run between June 27 and July 7. Runners can
submit their time for bragging rights, or send in photos to win a prize in one of the creative categories. On l i ne reg ist rat ion is open through July 7 for both the in-person and virtual races at www.kennebunklibrary.org. Same day registration will be available at the library on race day. The KFL is located at 112 Main Street in Kennebunk. For more information please call 207-985-2173, or email kf l@ kennebunklibrary.org.
