One thing Erin particularly likes is the presence of a male role model, trainer Stephen Mason. “I can talk about nutritional choices, but when Kaleb hears the trainer talk about it, the subject has more impact. Also, I love that Kaleb is much more self-directed – he’s more willing to get up and get going, knowing that his training will help him in his favorite sport: wrestling.” Among the other camps that
campers will have the costs of their summer experiences partially or fully covered, depending on the camp and the duration of their stay there. Among the camps to which the kids are going is York County Barbell in North Berwick. One case management member, Kaleb (pictured), chose this camp because, according to Kaleb’s mom, Erin, he was excited to take on a more independent role this summer. Each day, he cycles to camp to learn about conditioning, nutrition, and, ultimately, other ways to be more

STATEWIDE From an FBI public advisory: As rents, home prices, and inflation surge in today’s highly competitive real estate market, the FBI Boston Division is warning the public about the risk of rental scams and the need to be cautious when posting and responding to rental properties and real-estate online. “We have seen a significant increase in the amount of money being lost by people who are desperate for a good deal. Scammers are cashing in on renters who need to act quickly for fear of missing out, and it’s costing consumers thousands of dollars, and in some cases, leaving them stranded,” said Joseph R.

scammer forwards a check for the deposit on the rental property to the victim. The check is to cover housing expenses and is either written in excess of the amount required, with the scammer asking for the remainder to be remitted back, or is written for the correct amount, but the scammer backs out of the rental agreement and asks for a refund. Since banks do not usually place a hold on funds, the victim has immediate access to them and believes the check has cleared. In the end, the check is found to be counterfeit and the victim is held responsible by the bank for all losses. Another type of scam involves real estate that is advertised online. The scammer du-
plicates postings from legitimate real estate websites and reposts these ads after altering them. Often, the scammers use the broker’s real name to create a fake email. When the victim sends an email through the classified advertisement website inquiring about the home, they receive a response from someone claiming to be the owner who claims they are unable to show the property without payment because they are either out of town or out of the country. If the victim is interested in renting the home, they are asked to send money; and shortly thereafter the property is no longer available. According to the FBI’s InSee SCAMS on page 28 . . .

Booking it on Bikes: 60 Bicycles Awarded for Reading Town Gets New Detective Sergeant
WELLS In June, members of Masonic Ocean Lodge 142 in Wells awarded 60 new bicycles, helmets, and t-shirts to Wells Elementary School (WES) students who participated in this year’s Masonic Bikes for Books reading incentive program sponsored by the Maine Masonic Charitable Foundation (MMCF) and donations from area businesses and individuals. Bikes for Books not only motivates students to read more but encourages more healthy outdoor summer activities away from the computer, phone, and tablet screens. According to the MMCF’s website, the objectives of the program are “to increase student reading and comprehension skills, to recognize positive student achievements, [and] to provide an attainable goal, with life-enhancing results.” Perhaps
Standing behind five of the students to receive bikes this year are (l-r) John Howarth, Alan Martin, Bonnie Esty, Timothy Yates, Kenneth Creed, Wayne Smith, and WES Principal Kyle Burnell.

Brick Store’s New Artist in Residence
KENNEBUNK The Brick Store Museum is proud to announce the appointment of its inaugural artist-in-residence, Beth Crowe. The artistin-residence program has been generously funded by a grant from the Bauman Family Foun-
dation, inviting artists to create new works with the museum to deliver new perspectives and develop discussions based on local history and art. According to the museum, “[Crowe] is a Kennebunk-based artist who proposed to use oral
history to weave community stories through textile artwork in which the entire community could take part. As community is at the core of the museum’s operations, [she] was the ideal artist to launch this residency program. Beth Crowe is an oral storyteller who uses history to create vivid stories that resonate with audiences of all ages.” Throughout July, August, and September, Crowe will be offering a free series to present three glimpses into Kennebunk history. The first story, “The Great Cannonball Caper,” takes place in the summer of 1950 and follows the adventures of two best friends growing up in Kennebunk. This session will be held on Saturday, July 23, at 10:30 a.m., and is appropriate for all ages. After the story, the audience will be encouraged to work with the artist to learn the simple art of needle felting. Participants will add their work
to the finished pieces she will be creating to retell the story visually. No previous experience is necessary. Crowe says, “If you can color in a coloring book, you can needle felt! If you can draw a tree, a house, or a bike, then you can design.” After each of the three story sessions, Crowe will be in the museum’s exhibit galleries every Tuesday morning from 10
a.m. to 12 p.m. to work on the needle felt tapestry. Visitors are welcome to join her in creating pieces that will be added to the final artwork. Admission to the museum is free to the public on Tuesdays through December. Registration for the story sessions is encouraged but not required. Visit www.brickstoremuseum.org/calendar, or call 207-985-4802.

BERWICK First came the bison, then the rare Mangalitsa pigs; and now, Hackmatack Farm has added a critically endangered breed of goat to its animal population. Four San Clemente Island goats joined the Berwick farm this summer. Hackmatack plans to breed these rare goats and eventually to sell them as breeding stock and for milk and meat. According to information from the farm, the goats were introduced in 1875 to San Clemente Island from Santa Catalina Island, both Channel Islands off the coast of California. The history of these goats before then
is not clear. In the 1970s, about 15,000 were running feral on San Clemente Island, threatening the native plants and ecology. Hunters drove the population down to 4,500, and then the U.S. Navy began shooting the goats from helicopters. At that point, the Fund for Animals removed most of the goats to be neutered and adopted. Others were picked up for breeding by farms. Today, there are thought to be between only 250 and 1,500 remaining. Connor Guptill, who runs the Hackmatack Farm, said,“It’s a beautiful breed, deer-like in stature with a gentle temperament. They are great all around

goats, and they provide fantastic milk and meat.” The public is invited to visit the goats, as well as the pigs and bison, Saturdays and Sundays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. More information is available by emailing buffalo@hackmatackfarm.com or calling 207632-0618.

when Lewis – an icon of American culture in comedy, film, and humanitarian efforts – directed the original show, created by the genius theater-titan team of composer and EGOT-winner Marvin Hamlisch and Tony Award-winning writer-lyricist Rupert Holmes. Hamlisch sadly died not long after the show opened, and Lewis passed away a few years later. But their deaths didn’t stop Holmes and the other creative people involved in their quest to bring it to a live audience again. Holmes was on hand Saturday night, along with Lewis’s widow, Sandra Pitnick, and their daughter, Danielle. They attended the opening night pre-show gathering and the stellar show after, basking in the stand-up applause, laughter, and accolades “The Nutty Professor” received from the appreciative audience. With some book tweaking and a couple of new songs, the new “Nutty Professor” is a stand-out success. Expertly directed by the talented Marc Bruni, it speaks directly to its 2022 audiences, despite being set sixty years ago. It is loosely based on Robert Louis Stevenson’s Gothic novella “The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.” The updated, comic version is full of screwball college campus shenanigans and glaring examples of the nonstop sexism and conformity that prevailed in 1963. But with the revisions made for this production, it’s filled with a heartfelt

message of being true to yourself and loving who you are despite being different. That’s due mainly to the journey of self-discovery that Julius Kelp – the titular “nutty professor” – takes. As Kelp, he is a nerdy, mild-mannered, bullied, cross-eyed, but bright chemistry professor, often overlooked and underappreciated. Then, after slugging a vial of magic potion, he transforms into the suave, debonair Buddy Love, a handsome womanizer with a hollow heart who turns the campus around with his shallow charm. Dan DeLuca is wonderful in the dual roles of Kelp and Love. He channels the late Lewis as Kelp, from his mannerisms and crossed eyes to his pratfalls and voice. And his transformation to Love is nothing short of miraculous. But it’s the occasional slipping back and forth, from Kelp to Love and vice-versa, that makes his performance so much fun to watch. Equally talented is the bigvoiced Elena Ricardo as Stella Purdy, the love interest of Kelp/ Love. In the film, Stella was a student. But here, she’s an energetic adjunct English professor and staunch feminist, intent on teaching her subject, bucking the sexism of the 1960s, and not being relegated to cheerleading coach. Ricardo is a determined Stella, and compelling when she’s swept off her feet by Kelp, not Love, as the show ends. Other standouts include the talented Klea Blackhurst as Miss Lemon, the college registrar and devoted assistant to the chauvinist president Dr. Warfield, who is played to stereotypical perfection by Jeff McCarthy. Joann Hunter’s dazzling dance numbers bring the energetic show to life, especially the high-kicking cheerleaders and dance scenes in the Purple Pit nightclub. The talented ensemble, striking sets, and colorful costumes bring a nostalgic flashback feel to 1960s campus life that folks of a certain age – my contemporaries and I – will relate to and love. I was skeptical when the Playhouse announced “The Nutty Professor” as part of its 90th anniversary season, fearing a dated, dreary production. But its stand-out performances, dynamic score, laugh-filled book, and message to be true to yourself make it a fresh, funny, heartwarming escape. And don’t we need that today more than ever?

~ Art & Enteraintment ~ Local Artists Highlighted in New Program at Anchorage by the Sea OGUNQUIT Anchorage by the Sea, a family-owned resort, will honor the cultural history of Ogunquit’s seaside community with an ongoing monthly program to highlight the arts. The resort is opening the doors of its Lightship Building on Shore Road on Saturday, July 16, 3-7 p.m., to highlight local Maine-based artists. The new event, which will be held one Saturday night each month, will feature artists in a variety of media. There is no charge to view the art and listen to music. Cocktails will be available for sale. Foot traffic is welcomed; visitors that are not guests of the hotel should park in public parking lots. Ogunquit, known to its native people as the “beauti-
ful place by the sea,” became a popular destination for artists in the 20th century who wished to capture the raw beauty of its landscapes. The area fostered two schools of art in response: the Ogunquit Summer School of Drawing and Painting, founded by Charles Woodbury; and the Ogunquit Summer School of Graphic Arts, developed by Hamilton Easter Field, a student of Woodbury’s. “Showcasing the arts by offering our community and guests a meaningful experience that’s intrinsic to Ogunquit via this outlet was a natural choice for us,” Anchorage by the Sea owner Mitch Ramsey says.

~ Pets ~ Safe Haven Human Society WELLS Cyrus is a delightful fellow; sweet in spirit and unusual in breed. He’s a Scottish fold, and a long-haired one at that. His f lowing red and white coat, wide round eyes, and ears that fold forward make him uniquely lovely. What’s all the more wonderful about him is his gentle demeanor. He clearly seeks your affection and gladly responds with purrs. Despite being so handsome and well bred, Cyrus is not the least bit snobbish. Instead, he loves everyone. He especially loved the friendly dog in his former home, and will no doubt coexist well with another friendly canine as a brother. This sweet, mellow guy deserves a
home that’s quiet and happy. No doubt many will want to adopt him because he is so special, so get your application in early by filling out our adoption form at www.safehavenhumanesociety. org/adoption-form or calling 207-646-1611. W hen you’re deciding which donations to bring to Safe Haven’s shop at 1784 Post Road
in Wells, please hold off on books until after Labor Day. The volunteer who does such a beautiful job arranging our book department has a surplus of books all ready to be set out, and we are out of room to store more. Here’s what we’d love more of now: costume jewelry, small furnishings, quality housewares, and garden décor, including pots, benches, birdbaths, and wind chimes if they’re in good condition. Inseason, like-new clothing for the family, and kitchenware are always welcome, as are antiques, oddities, and anything vintage. We are also in current need of a mini fridge for our receiving area to help keep our hard-working volunteers hydrated. Ours broke, and we sure miss it. If you have one you don’t use but can donate, we’d sure appreciate it! We’re very happy with the results of opening our shop an extra day. We’re now open Tuesdays to help replenish our emer-
gency care fund. We call them “Compassionate Tuesdays” and named our most recent emergency kitten Tuesday. He’s doing great, by the way! His eye removal surgery was a success, and he’s healing quickly. He gets along just fine with his one good eye. Tuesday has an indomitable spirit and great strength and is
everyone’s favorite for cuddling and spoiling. Your donations and Tuesday shop purchases enable us to afford these urgent and extremely costly rescues. Join us and help prevent homeless kitties from being euthanized. Please mail your donations to Safe Haven, PO Box 91, Wells, ME 04090.

Lizzie is an 11-month-old grayand-white beauty. She is petite and a bit shy, but warms up after a couple of days. A quiet home, with maybe one other cat, would be best for her. Oswald is a big, handsome, long-haired boy who is sweet and gentle. He is two years old and just a love bug. Both cats are spayed/neutered and up to date on their vaccinations. They are currently in North Berwick. We have several lovely cats that have come to us from overcrowded shelters in Louisiana. Give us a call to set up a meetand-greet at 207-676-5599, or go to Petfinder.com/Emma’s Angels Rescue. Emma’s Angels Rescue is an all-volunteer, foster-based organization in North Berwick.

~ Ask The Computer Pro ~ Dear Computer Pro, I have rather severe tendonitis. I already use a pen tablet instead of a mouse, which helps. I was wondering if you could recommend a keyboard that is particularly well-suited to someone with this condition; or maybe some sort of program that would allow to me talk into the computer instead of typing altogether. It would have to be compatible with Word and various other programs. Thanks, Sarah Jane Dear Sarah Jane, So sorry to hear about your tendonitis. It seems like that is becoming an even bigger issue as more and more folks are at a desk all day. The first ergonomic keyboard I ever used was manufactured by Microsoft. It was much more comfortable than a regular “straight” keyboard. I ended up lobbying to get one for everyone that wanted one in my office The newer version of the Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboard (www. amzn.to/3P5TQvM) is a bit fancier, but it is still extremely comfortable. Logitech also makes a combo with the Ergo K860 Wireless Ergonomic Keyboard and their MX Vertical Wireless . . . BIKES from page 2 fourth-grade students selected books that they found interesting and wanted to read. Each book read by a student earned him or her an entry into their classroom’s later drawing for a bike. Masonic members who presented the bikes to the students on June 13 included Ken Creed, John Howarth, Alan Martin, Wayne Smith, and Tim Yates. Bicycles given out this year at WES were ordered through Wal-Mart.com at a cost of $6,000. The MMCF donated half of that amount, with the balance donated by individuals and local businesses. As in the past, members of Ocean Lodge 142 assembled the bikes.
PUZZLE ANSWERS
Mouse (www.amzn.to/3bWtBZM) that I have not personally tried, but it gets rave reviews. If you have never tried a vertical mouse, they are amazing! If you are using primarily Microsoft applications and Windows, you might be surprised to learn that you do not need any additional software to be able to dictate to your computer. Starting with Windows 10, Microsoft introduced Cortana as their “personal productivity assistant.” From within Windows, you can ask Cortana to do things like open applications, find files and pictures, or even set appointments. You can engage with Cortana in a couple of ways in Windows 10. For occasional users, you can simply click on the Cortana button and start speaking. If you are going to be a frequent flyer with Cortana, I would suggest opening the Cortana app, clicking on the gear icon for Settings, and then go to the “Talk to Cortana” section. In this section, you will go down to “Hey Cortana” and click on the toggle switch to enable this option. Now, if you have a microphone enabled, you will be able to say, “Hey Cortana” to activate her and then tell her what you would like to do next. Lastly, within Microsoft Office applications like Word, in the Home ribbon to the far right, there is an icon of a microphone that’s labeled “Dictate.” You can simply click this button and start talking and you will see what you are saying converted to text right in front of your very eyes! You can also say commands like “new line,” “new paragraph,” “start numbered list,” and many more to nearly eliminate the need to use your hands at all. Good luck! Matt Dear Computer Pro, I like the idea of “donating” my computer’s downtime to crowdsourcing projects (e.g., the old SETI@home). But I’m wondering, what with hackers getting
increasingly sophisticated, how safe they are. Is there any way to tell if a crowdsourcing project has good security for its users? Thank you, Adric Dear Adric, The SETI@home project was an example of volunteer-computing software or a distributed computing project. The purpose of the project was to take advantage of the aggregate idle computer power across the country (or world) and use it to analyze radio waves. The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) was specifically looking at radio telescope data looking for signs of life outside of earth. Today, that project falls under the larger Berkeley Open Infrastr ucture for Network Computing umbrella, affectionately referred to as “BOINC” (pronounced “boink”). You can visit the BOINC website (www. boinc.berkeley.edu) and download their application. Once the application is installed on your computer, you can choose from roughly thirty projects to donate your computer’s idle resources. Beyond BOINC, there are many, many other similar projects out there that use distributed resources for everything from cancer research to artificial intelligence/neural networks. I would not be able to speak to the security of any of these other projects, though. I would simply suggest you investigate the project itself and dig into how they have addressed the security concerns upfront. If they do not mention their risk mitigation strategies, I would avoid that one. Good luck! Matt Dear Computer Pro, I have a lot of old LPs (records) that I would like to convert to some kind of digital files so I can listen to the records without having to be in the room with them. Do you know of any way to play records from a regular old turntable into some sort of device/program (through the amplifier, maybe?) that would
convert the sound into WAV or mp3 for storage on a computer or cloud? Thank you, Donna Dear Donna, I love this idea! The sound from the old records just cannot be beat! To convert from the old vinyl to MP3 files, you will want to purchase an analog-to-digital capture device (www.amzn. to/3NUGRvq). You will connect your record player to this device and then use the included software (Audacity) to do the actual recording to MP3 files. If you want software that is more focused on this project, you will want to purchase VinylStudio (www.alpinesoft.co.uk), as it is specifically geared LP-to-digital conversion. VinylStudio also has great support and guides that will help you get started quickly. Now, if you are an audiophile or just really fussy about audio quality, then I would suggest going with the VinylStudio software and purchasing a high-quality turntable that has
built-in USB connectivity to record directly to your computer without an intermediate $20 piece of hardware. Though a little pricy, the Audio-Technica ATLP120XBT-USB-BK Wireless Direct-Drive Turntable (www. amzn.to/3O2ebkj) is a beautiful marriage of classic vinyl quality with modern connectivity features like USB and Bluetooth. It also has the standard line-out to connect to your amplifier or receiver. With this turntable, you would connect it directly to your computer and perform your conversion with VinylStudio, but you could also stream to a Bluetooth speaker. At $400, this device is not cheap, but it will make beautiful reproductions of your vinyl so you can take them with you wherever you go. Good luck! Matt Interested in learning more?

When Life Gives You Lemons . . . Raise Funds for the Food Pantry!
St. Martha Church Receives Organ Donation KENNEBUNK A Roland Atelier AT-80S console-style organ, replete with special features like a 56-key upper manual, 76-key lower manual, and a 20-key pedalboard, fits perfectly into its new home in the music area next to the sanctuary at St. Martha Church in Kennebunk. “It’s not fancy in looks, but it beats anything out there with its sound samplings,” said church organist David Dubois. “It can also be used as a terrific sounding piano for those that do not play the organ.” It also pays fitting tribute to a beloved former pastor at Holy Spirit Parish (St. Mary Church, Wells; St. Martha Church, Kennebunk; All Saints Church, Ogunquit): the organ’s purchase, donation, and installation were dedicated in memory of Fr. Tom Murphy, who served in Wells and Kennebunk from 2006 to 2016, and who passed away in September of 2021. “Fr. Tom was instrumental in our lives. He appreciated fine sacred music,” said
Dubois. “Celebrating mass with Fr. Tom meant we had to have good music.” The organ was donated to the church by a group of local musicians who have performed at St. Martha and St. Mary Church in Wells over the years, including Dubois, who celebrat-
ed 50 years as a church organist last year. “They are not big pipe organs that cost a fortune,” he says, “but the sounds from these instruments came from sampling real instruments and have unbelievable traditional church organ sounds and everything else in between.”

SOUTH BERWICK Partners Bank and Aroma Joe’s partnered up to raise $1,511 in funds for the South Berwick Community Food Pantry with a traditional lemonade stand at South Berwick’s Strawberry Festival on June 25. Lemonade was donated by Aroma Joe’s and served up by a crew of 12 Partners Bank volunteers. Both companies made additional $250 contributions, bringing the total donation to the organization to $2,011. A total of 32 gallons poured into more than 350 cups were sold out by 3 p.m. “It was hot, but the crowds still came out,” recalls Karyn Scharf Morin, Partners Bank SVP, Branch Administration. “This was a great opportunity for us to get out there and to do something good for the community.”
On July 1, Scharf Morin and Richard Goodenough of Partners Bank, and Brian Sillon of Aroma Joe’s met at South Berwick Community Food Pantry to present a check to pantry organizers and volunteers Dave Stansfield, Mary Stansfield, Mike Ouellette, and Julia Ouelette. According to the bank, “[we thank] all that made this sweet donation possible: Aroma Joe’s, our employee volunteers, and all Strawberry Festival patrons that purchased a cup of lemonade from our booth.”

Health & Fitness Blueberries’ Big Benefits Small, yet bursting with big flavor, blueberries are a favorite of so many people. While blueberries may be coveted for their appeal in recipes that run the gamut from breakfast foods to desserts, the nutrients within them provide many benefits as well. After all, blueberries are not called “superfoods” for nothing. Here’s a deeper look at some of the health benefits of blueberries. Blueberries are a low-calorie food. Healthline notes that blueberries contain only 84 calories per cup. Plus they are 85% water. Blueberries can be a filling snack that doesn’t compromise low-calorie diets.
Beware Outdoor Hazards Spending time outdoors is good for the mind and the body. Researchers have studied the effects that spending time outdoors, particularly in wooded areas, has on well-being. A 2021 meta-analysis published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health concluded that forest-based interventions have a beneficial, therapeutic effect on stress, mental health disorders, hypertension, and immune system function. In their excitement to engage in outdoor activities, however, nature lovers should not forget to heed safety precautions. That means recognizing the potential for safety hazards outdoors and how to react in potentially difficult situations. Weather Weather patterns can change rapidly. Always check multiple weather sources for your destination prior to heading out. Layer clothing accordingly for the weather in your destination, and have a plan in place in case a storm blows in. If stuck outdoors in a thunderstorm with lightning, find a low spot with a ditch or a depression, suggests AccuWeather. Keep in mind that tents and pavilions provide inadequate shelter and are nearly as risky as standing under a tall tree, advises the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Injuries No one wants to get See OUTDOOR on page 16 . . .
Blueberries may improve exercise recovery rates. Research published in the Iranian Journal of Public Health in 2018 has shown that eating blueberries can increase muscle strength recovery. That means that blueberries may help thwart a condition called exercise-induced muscle damage, which results in soreness, reduced muscle strength, and impaired athletic performance. Blueberries help fight urinary tract infections (UTIs). Cranberries are often touted as the go-to for treating and preventing UTIs. According to a 1998 study published in The New England Journal of Medicine, specific compounds found in blueberries known as proanthocyanidins can prevent bacteria from sticking to the walls of the urinary tract. Furthermore, the high amounts of vitamin C in blueberries also can inhibit
the growth of bacteria that cause UTIs. Blueberries may thwart cancer. Phytochemicals in blueberries decrease the risk of several cancers by protecting cells from chronic inf lammation, according to the American Institute for Cancer Research. In addition, the fiber in blueberries helps protect the intestinal lining from colorectal cancer. Blueber r ies help build stronger bones. Blueberries are rich in phosphorus, zinc, magnesium, calcium, iron, and vitamin
K. These nutrients, together with strength-training exercise, can contribute to bone health. Blueberries lower bad cholesterol. The fiber in blueberries may help dissolve LDL cholesterol, also known as “bad” cholesterol, in the bloodstream. A study in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics determined daily consumption of blueberries helped improve blood pressure and arterial stiffness in postmenopausal women. Blueber r ies i mprove immune function. The blue in blueberries comes from anthocyanin, an antioxidant that increases immune function. The Mayo Clinic also says research indicates compounds in blueberries may delay the effects of vascular dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. Blueberries may be an anti-aging treatment. Oxidative DNA damage occurs in every cell in the body each day, according to Healthline. DNA damage is one reason why people grow
older. High antioxidants in blueberries can neutralize some free radicals that are implicated in DNA damage. Blueberries get their superfood status from the number of health benefits they offer. The Week ly Sentinel does not endorse any products or services suggested by thirdparty sources.

and brain injury provider association, has launched “From Maine to Ukraine,” a fundraising campaign to provide wheelchair-accessible transportation for people with disabilities who are fleeing the war in Ukraine. The goal is to raise $100,000 by August 1 for Keystone Moldova, a nonprofit NGO dedicated to developing sustainable community-based services for people with disabilities. For Ukrainian refugee families, Keystone Moldova has become a vital and essential resource. Moldova shares a long border with Ukraine, and, despite being one of Europe’s poorest countries, it has received more Ukrainian refugees per capita than any other country. Sadly, the entire country only has two accessible wheelchair vans for public use. According to Catherine Thibedeau, MACSP’s board president, “It is incumbent on those of us who can help to do so and find solutions for those who were left behind. The situation is most dire, and as advocates for people with disabilities in Maine, we must stand up for those without a voice.” Jennifer Putnam, executive director of Waban, a Maine-based nonprofit that supports individuals with developmental disorders, has collaborated on the effort. Putnam commented, “It’s critically important that we all do what we can to help support
people with disabilities and help alleviate suffering.” Funds raised will allow Keystone Moldova to obtain two additional wheelchairaccessible vans. MACSP has previously established ties with the organization, which has a proven track record of action and which stands ready to put the funds to work immediately. To date, nearly $60,000 has been raised. To donate, visit https:// donate.onecause.com/macspcampaign. To find out more about Keystone Moldova, visit www.keystonemoldova.md/en. . . .

Health & Fitness Wellness after 50 Reaching one’s fiftieth birthday in optimal health is an accomplishment to be proud of. The hard work required to be healthy in midlife includes adhering to a nutritious diet and exercising regularly. Once individuals cross the threshold and enter their 50s, they can look to some additional strategies to maintain their physical and mental wellbeing for decades to come: Get a pet. Many people 50 and older qualify as “empty nesters,” a term applied to adults whose children have grown up and moved out of their homes. Some empty nesters experience a phenomenon known as “empty nest syndrome,” which the Mayo Clinic notes can be marked by feelings of sadness or loss. Pets can help people over 50 with no children at home overcome feelings linked to empty nest
syndrome. In 2018, the University of Michigan National Poll on Healthy Aging found that 86% of pet owners felt their pets make them feel loved while 73% said their pets provided a sense of purpose. Pets also can ensure individuals over 50 stay physically active and provide opportunities to connect with other people. Prioritize learning. Whether it’s taking music lessons, going back to school, or mastering a new hobby, learning has a profound effect on aging brains. For example, a 2013 study published in the journal “Psychological Science” found that memory function is improved by engagement in demanding everyday tasks. That study reported that people who learned new skills experienced greater memory improvement than people who only socialized or participated in activities that were not as cog-
nitively engaging. Make an effort to improve balance. Various factors contribute to a decline in balance as adults age. For example, a decline in muscle mass that begins when people are in their 30s is a normal part of aging. Over time, that natural decline affects strength and agility. Balance exercises can be a valuable component of a fitness regimen that helps individuals reduce their risk for falling as they advance through their 50s and into their 60s and 70s. That’s a significant benefit, as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that one out of every three adults age 65 and older experiences a fall each year, and as many as 30 percent of those falls lead to serious injury. Embrace your inner socialite. Socialization is important for people of all ages, including individuals 50 and over. A 2017 study from researchers at Michigan State found that valuing friendships was a strong pre-
dictor of health and happiness among older adults. Opportunities to socialize with friends may increase as people navigate their 50s and children move out or become more independent. Individuals can take advantage of opportunities to socialize whenever possible.

animals who enjoy the great outdoors. Encountering wildlife is common when venturing into their habitats. Some animals even travel into residential neighborhoods in search of food. Many animals prefer to run off rather than engage with humans. But they also can be surprised by people or pets in nature. Traveling in groups, making noise so as not to surprise animals, keeping pets close by, and avoiding hiking at dawn and dusk when
many animals are most active can reduce the risk for potentially dangerous encounters. Be aware of wildlife birthing seasons, too, as a mother may be overly protective if you stumble across her young.

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.
Peter M. McCarn, 78 NORTH BERWICK – Peter M. McCarn, of Summerfield, FL, and a former longtime resident of North Berwick, passed away on June 29, 2022, at Portsmouth Hospital. Peter was born in Biddeford, son of Walter and Mar-
garet (Lakeman) McCarn, and was raised in Wells and South Berwick, attending Berwick Academy and South Berwick High School. He was employed as a pipe fitter at the Portsmouth Navy Yard until his retirement. A member of the Bethel Christian Church of North Berwick, where he served as assistant pastor for 25 years, he spent time as a missionary in Africa. He enjoyed fly-fishing and yearly trips to Nova Scotia and the coast of Maine. An enthusiastic golfer, he enjoyed teaching his grandchildren the love of the game. Peter was predeceased by his first wife of 40 years, Jeannine (Renaud) McCarn, in 2002; daughter Jennifer, in 1985; sonin-law Chad DeVoll, in 1996; brother Wayne Clark, and brother-in-law William Tower. Surviving are his wife, Grace E. Ireland; three sons and three daughters, Michael (Pam) McCarn, Timothy (Paula) McCarn, Kathleen ( McCar n) DeVoll, Stephen Garland, Laura (Jon) Stark, Kara (Christopher) IrelandD’Ambrosio, and Brian Ireland; twelve grandchildren, Andrew, Evan, Collin, Rile, Makensie, Gavin, Brendan, Christian, Micah, Noah, Emma, and Blake; four great-grandchildren, Montgomery, Aubrey, Connor, and Gunner; sister Bernice Tower; and brother Fred (Nancy) Clark. Celebration of Life will be held July 19, 2-6 p.m. at Spring Hill Lodge, South Berwick.

FINANCE & CAREER Making the Best of Retirement’s Extra Time Retirees aren’t always certain what it is they long to do with time, but one day they stop working and find they have a barrelful of it. “People often are so focused on making sure they are financially ready to retire that they forget to plan for what they want to do in retirement,” says Patti Hart, co-author with her husband, Milledge, of “The Resolutionist: Welcome to the Anti-Retirement Movement.” “And they may have more time to fill than they realize. Life expectancy has grown, and retirements that last 20 years, 30 years, or longer aren’t that unusual. So you have to start thinking, what will you do with your time? How do you envision your days playing out?” For the Harts, the answers to those questions involve the “anti-retirement movement,” where retirement is more than a rocking chair on a front porch or endless hours of golf.
“We did leave our careers, but we would never call ourselves retired,” Milledge Hart says. “We are busier now than we’ve ever been. The difference is that we are busy doing what brings us joy rather than what advances our careers.” But the transition isn’t always easy, which is why the Harts recommend finding efficient ways to manage that extra time the post-career years bring. Patti Hart cautions that time management does not have to mean blocking out every minute. “For most people, it is just setting goals and priorities, then making sure you plan for how you are going to accomplish them,” she says. “It is being productive with your time.” To do that, the Harts suggest putting yourself into the mindset you had in your working years, such as: Use a calendar. People in a corporate setting rely on calendars to manage their obligations, and retirees can as well. “Too often people just think they will
remember that they have yoga on Tuesday and Thursday, and volunteer at the animal shelter on Wednesday,” Patti Hart says. “But then they add a lunch here or a board meeting there and pretty soon find themselves scurrying from activity to activity.” Checking a calendar each day also let’s people know they may need to pull back if they are overcommitted, or they may need to find activities to add if too many empty hours are going to waste. Make a to-do list. A to-do list helps ensure nothing gets forgotten. Just be flexible, Milledge Hart says, because the list is a tool to keep you on track, not a ball and chain to imprison you. “If you’d rather do something else today, feel free to move items to another time or just skip them altogether,” he says. “It’s your list so it’s your call.” Treat everything like a business appointment. The calendar and the to-do list can be filled with things that would never have made a business per-
York County Nonprofits Receive Grants NORTH BERWICK Nine grants were recently given to nonprof it groups in York County by the Maine Community Foundation (MaineCF) through its Community Building Grant Program. The grants were recommended by the York County Committee and will go to the York County Fund to be distributed to the organizations.

The Weekly
inclusiveness in community events; and Youth Full Maine (Biddeford), to address food insecurity in the community, especially in the county’s rural areas. The York County Fund was established in 2007 with the purpose of supporting nonprofit organizations and projects that serve York County. It is a permanent, grant-making resource that grows through contributions from individuals, businesses, and foundations such as MaineCF, which holds more than $16 million in assets dedicated to the county, including donor-advised funds, designated funds to support specif ic organizations, scholarships, and field-of-interest funds. The York County Committee is made up of leaders who live
and/or work in York County. These advisors serve as local ambassadors for MaineCF, review proposals, recommend grant awards, and help build philanthropic resources in the region. The York County Committee awards grants from the York County Fund and other related funds through the Community Building Grant Program. They make recommendations to fund proposals that meet the grant program criteria and have the greatest potential for positive impact on the quality of life in the county.

Har t says. “At that point it makes sense to reevaluate your resources and goals. Be aware of how you feel about certain activities and be ready to drop some and pick up others as your time and interests change.” “In the same way that making good financial investments provides you with additional capital, investing your time wisely provides you with more time to do things you really want to do,” Patti Hart says. “And that will make your life so much better.” The Week ly Sentinel does not endorse any products or services suggested by thirdparty sources.

son’s schedule – but may now be high priority for you. “You can pencil in 30 minutes for meditation or an hour to begin reading a James Patterson novel,” Patti Hart says. “Maybe you want to block out Friday afternoon to experiment with a new recipe. These are your preferred ‘appointments’ now and are equal in importance to board meetings or conference calls.” Adapt your system as your needs change. Some people begin retirement doing all the things they had been putting off, such as traveling or fishing more. “But that first burst of activity usually begins to wear, and you realize you want more from this stage of life,” Milledge

. . . SCAMS from page 1 ternet Crime Complaint Center (IC3), which provides the public with a means of reporting Internet-facilitated crimes, there has been a steady increase in losses reported by victims of real estate/rental scams in the last three years. In the Boston Division, which includes all of Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island, 415 victims reported $13,424,269 in losses, a 27% jump. In Maine alone, 42 victims lost a total of $489,309 last year. The actual losses are most likely much higher because many people are hesitant to report they were scammed. To avoid being victimized, do not wire funds to people you do not know. Do not put money towards a house or apartment you have not seen. Confirm the identity of the landlord by researching public records to find out who owns the property you are seeking to rent or purchase. Do not fill out applications online until you have met directly with the property manager. Know local rental prices. Look for online reviews, references, and testimonials from past inhabitants. Also, be wary if a potential tenant wants to rent property sight unseen, if a potential renter says they are out of town and will send you a cashier’s check, or if a potential landlord says he is out of the country and wants the rent sent to a foreign account. If a person finds themself the target or victim of a rental scam, they should stop all contact immediately. If they have already sent money, it is extremely important to report any transfer of funds to their financial institution and file a complaint with the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center at www.ic3.gov.

Why You Shouldn’t Be a Spectator at the Parade of Life
By Jim Fabiano If I ever find myself in a funk, I hike down to the beach, unfold my old beach chair, and set it down where the water meets the sand. I find that a couple of hours of watching the world go by helps restore my equilibrium. This time, I went a step farther: I took a yellow legal pad so I could jot down my impressions. I should have taken a thicker pad. The people at the beach come in all sizes, shapes, and colors. Some are able to develop a deep bronze tan that will cause them problems later in life, while others turn a painful bright red that will cause them problems now. I noticed that many of the people at the beach were doing a lot of walking this year. As I sat, anchored to my chair at
the watermark, I felt like I was watching an endless parade of restlessness. I also noticed many different t-shirts on the people who walked by that advertised places like Bermuda and Martinique. A few of them were in languages other than English and had pictures of places I had never seen before. What I didn’t see was any t-shirt that advertised York Beach. I know they sell them at many of our beach stores, but I guess people keep them hidden away until they go somewhere else, then put them on so the people there will wonder about exotic York Beach. Beach fashions have always astounded me. I have never understood why heavy people wear horizontal stripes and thin people wear vertical stripes. Not
that I am in any position to criticize, mind you, as I sit there in my fashionably unfashionable combination of pajama bottoms and t-shirt. Hats are big this year. Until this summer the baseball cap with the curled peak reigned supreme, but this year, I noticed there are all manner of variations on headgear, some of them apparently designed by aircraft engineers. One of the most popular hats this year is the safari hat with flaps to protect the wearer’s ears and neck. Very sensible and probably very expensive when the same effect can be had by stuffing a one-dollar kerchief under a baseball hat. There were also broad brimmed Bahamas style straw hats with colorful bands that were more for style then for protection. I also noticed a lot of scarves in the style of the American f lag wrapped around people’s heads. I saw this a lot when I was younger, but usually as a form of protest, and it is reassuring to see it make such a strong comeback without any hint of irony. I also noticed that nobody walks empty handed anymore for the sheer pleasure of walking. The young men, especially, seemed to need a prop of some kind, whether it was an empty soda cup or a football they jiggled in their restless hands. Many of the women came
with young children whom they pushed in front of them in a new fangled carriage with big wheels, a kind of beach tractor jammed with the contents of the average suburban home. You can tell the serious young beach moms because most of them are running at a good clip, determined to get their bodies back in shape, pushing a three-wheeled carriage in front of them, usually occupied by a kid whose eyes are wide open with either joy or terror as their screams are snatched away by the slipstream. I suspect a lot of these kids grow up to be Hells Angels. I have also noticed a lot more people holding hands as they walk the beach this year. Not just young people, but older people who seem unashamed of expressing their closeness in public anymore. As if people have been made more aware of the temporariness of life and aren’t afraid to show each other, or others for that matter, how much they care. I notice a lot more parents putting in time with their children at the beach, too. Especially fathers with daughters. Often the father doesn’t do that much, just helps build a sand castle or lends a supporting hand to a

little girl braving the boisterous waves for the first time. Sometimes these fathers will offer words of encouragement, but often they’re just there, watching carefully while their legs turn blue in the cold Atlantic water. The daughters invariably stay close, happy to spend some quality time at last with a father who is often absent for the rest of the year, working hard to pay an endless tide of bills. I observed these moments with a special pang, wishing I could have had more of them with my own daughter as she was growing up, knowing how soon the moment of separation comes. I also noticed how many people sneaked curious glances at me as I sat there at the water’s edge, scribbling diligently into my yellow legal pad. Maybe they were uncomfortable with the idea that I was watching them and making notes about them. I closed the pad and put my pencil down and leaned back to enjoy the sun and the surf, and pretty soon, that odd feeling of detachment left me. I was one of them again, back in the lifestream, enjoying the moment, wishing it would last forever. Jim Fabiano is a retired teacher and writer living in York.
