York Days Starts Next Weekend

YORKThis year’s York Days festival will run from Friday, July 28, through Sunday, August 6, and will feature all the traditional events guests have come to know and love over the years.

Every night throughout York Days will offer the summer lighting of the Nubble Lighthouse, in which the structure is lit up as it is over the winter holidays. York Parks and Recreation (YPR) Special Events Coordinator Liz Cooper said at last year’s event, “I would say the Nubble lovers of the world are definitely a strong group. For those that

can’t be here in the fall, it’s a way for them to see what the Nubble looks like during the holidays.” The fall lighting is significantly busier, Cooper said, but the summer version allows people to see the lighting occur at sunset rather than at night.

Family Film Night will take place on Friday, July 28 at 8 p.m., by the Long Sands bathhouse. The featured film will be “The Croods: A New Age.” Families are invited to freely pick their place to lie on a blanket in the sand and watch.

27th Annual Tractor & Engine Show

ELIOT -

The Raitt Homestead Farm Museum (RHFM) is proud to announce their 27th Eliot Antique Tractor & Engine Show, taking place on Friday, July 28, and Saturday, July 29. The annual fundraising event is celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Farmall Tractor this year. There will be a wide selection of historic and antique tractors on display throughout the 33-acre farmstead, with some tractors going back as far as the early 1900s.

Dozens of “hit-n-miss”

engines will also be featured. A hit-and-miss engine is a type of stationary engine that is controlled by a governor to only fire at a set speed. The engine was conceived in the late 19th century and produced by various companies from the 1890s through the early 1940s. The name comes from the speed control on these engines: they fire, or “hit,” only when operating at or below a set speed, and cycle without firing, or “miss,” when they exceed their set speed. Some of the larg-

est engine manufacturers were Stover, Hercules, International Harvester, John Deere, Maytag and Fairbanks Morse. The event includes tractor parades, tractor pulling, and large-engine demonstrations throughout both days. Events for kids include caricature drawing, barrel tractor rides, and the ever-popular kids pedal tractor pull. Crafters and assorted vendors will be displaying a variety of their eclectic wares, including bucket hats from Maine Made

Also happening that same Friday is the Nubble Lighting and Christmas in July Toy Drive, 7-9 p.m. at Sohier Park in Cape Neddick. The Nubble’s lights will go on as they normally would during the holiday season, and Santa will be collecting toys

for the annual Toy Drive. There will also be a reindeer petting zoo by the welcome center, and a bake sale offering home baked goods by local vendors. The lighting of the Nubble in July is a fun chance for viewers to see the lighthouse lit up at a different time of the year.

The York Days 5K Race will take place on Sunday, July 30, 8-11 a.m. Race participants gather at York High School at 7 a.m., with the race starting promptly at 8 a.m. The course follows Robert Stevens Drive onto Long Sands Road to Ridge Road, to Webber Road to Long Beach Avenue to Long Sands

100 Years of York Newspapers Available Online

YORKYork Public Library (YPL), in partnership with Old York Historical Society (OYHS), Advantage Preservation, and York Weekly, is pleased to announce the long-awaited unveiling of the York History Digital Archive. Thanks to a grant from the Stephen and Tabitha King Foundation, 100 years’ worth of York Weekly, its predecessors, related supplements, and miscellaneous ephemera has been completely digitized.

It is relatively common for small town papers not to retain a physical archive of their pub-

lications. York’s succession of publications was no different. Old York is the only institution in the country that holds anything close to a near complete run of York’s town newspapers. For decades, they have been preserving their newspaper collection by microfilming it. The film is not indexed, however, and so the only way to search it is page by page. Furthermore, as Old York does not receive any public funding, there are very limited hours of operation available for researchers. The content was preserved, but technology was not available for Old York to make it truly accessible.

“York Public Library, with their expertise in digital technology, is opening a door to unprecedented discovery of York’s history. There’s nothing like a local newspaper... for giving you a real good picture of what was important in a community, what was going on, who the personalities were,” said Joel Lefever, Executive Director and Chief Curator at OYHS.

Sail Portsmouth 2023: Tall Ship and Maritime Festival

PORTSMOUTH, NH -

Sail Portsmouth 2023 is set to launch! The festival will bring five tall ships – Ernestina-Morrissey, Trinidad, Bowdoin, Lynx, and Denis Sullivan – and the Picataqua Gundalow to Portsmouth Harbor for tours and sails July 26-31. The Parade of Sail up the Piscataqua River, which officially opens the festival, will take place on Thursday, July 27.

Sail Portsmouth, which presents Portsmouth’s annual Tall Ships Festival, has announced that New Hampshire governor Chris Sununu will be the grand marshal for the 2023 Parade of Sail.

“We are so pleased Govermor Sununu accepted our invitation. It was our way of saying thank you to the Governor for... his interest in and support for the growth of our working seaport, including long-term maritime workforce development,”

said Phil von Hemert, chair of Sail Portsmouth. “Of course, we wanted this year’s Parade of Sail to be especially memorable as we are celebrating the 400th anniversary of the settlement of Portsmouth.”

The parade will begin at the mouth of the river at 6:15 p.m. on Thursday, July 27, and can be viewed from the riverbanks and from Prescott Park in Portsmouth, and from Badger’s Island in Kittery. The tall ships will sail into Portsmouth Harbor along with a flotilla of other vessels, turn around before the Memorial Bridge, and then head to their berths at the Portsmouth Commercial Fishing Pier and the UNH Pier in New Castle, NH. All boaters are invited to join.

This year, recreational craft and commercial fishing vessels who participate in the parade are eligible to win a $1,000 gift certificate from Hamilton Marine.

Participants can pick up an entry form from any local boatyard, marina, yacht club, or boat club, July 24-26, and turn it in at the Hamilton Marine store, 56 Route 1 Bypass, Kittery, where the winning coupon will be drawn after the parade.

From 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on

July 28-31, two of the tall ships will be open to the public for tours at the Portsmouth Commercial Fish Pier, across from Prescott Park at 1 Peirce Island Road. The ships are the replica of Magellan’s flag ship, the threemasted nao “Trinidad,” and the restored, two-masted schooner,

Safe

Haven Humane Society Annual Woofstock Food and Beer Festival

WELLSMother cats are a tough lot. They have to be. A cat as young as four months old can become pregnant, although six months is more common. After 63 days, those young ones give birth in turn to their own, without any help. They instinctively know what to do, and for the next few months, momma cat is the sole provider of food, protection, teaching and comfort.

Her job is very difficult when she is a stray, or feral and living outdoors. She has to hunt for food and water to nourish herself, so she can produce milk to nurse her hungry babies. She must rush back to the nest to keep her newborns warm and protected against predators.

The volunteers at Safe Haven believe that mother cats deserve respect, and that they should be spoiled and cherished for all the loving care they give their furry families. So this week

Safe Haven is introducing three young mother cats who are now available for adoption.

Mamma T is less than two years old and has already been a mother twice. A former barn cat, Mamma T has come far in learning to trust at Safe Haven. With

a stunning tortoise color and a deep purr when petted, Mamma T deserves a person who will love her and give her the same devotion she once gave her little family.

Stella (pictured) is about 18 months old and had five kittens in a potting shed. She is such a darling, trusting people and begging for affection. Stella is a lovely tiger with white knee-high stockings on her hind legs. She will soak up all the love and attention any family may have to give.

Mae is the youngest mamma kitty currently at Safe Haven. Sweet and trusting, this shorthaired buff one-year-old is very affectionate. Mae has been a great mom and now she needs to be babied herself!

The shelter is now accepting donations of redeemable bottles and cans to their bottle shed, located at 1420 Post Road, Wells. The revenue goes directly to buy cat food and litter. Every bottle adds up to help!

The vintage/thrift shop is located at 1784 Post Road. This Saturday, July 22, Safe Haven launching a 50% off sale in the Christmas department, with a 25% discount on vintage Christmas items in the locking cabinets. The sale goes on through August 20, or until everything is sold out!

Animal Welfare Society

KENNEBUNK -

My name is Kaleidoscope and I am the “Featured Pet” for this week at Animal Welfare Society (AWS). I personally think I should be featured every week but, I know the world does not revolve around me... or does it? Anyway, I am happy to meet you all and share my beautiful face. I mean, just look at my gorgeous eyes and coat. Wouldn’t I look fabulous sleeping in a window or perched on a couch?

I got my name because I am a kaleidoscope of colors and textures and am dazzling to behold. I am only five years young as well, so you know I will only get more beautiful with age. The buzz around here lately has been that a certain event called “Woofstock” is going to take place soon, and my friends have been saying I would be perfect for it. With my patchwork coat and colors, I look just like Woofstock’s signature tie-dye! Unfortunately, that is an event made just for people and dogs, so us felines

Technology to Help Combat Climate Change

NAIONWIDEClimatologists have been warning the public for decades about the impending threat of global warming and climate change to the health of the planet, warning the population of how the consequences may adversely affect all facets of life. With global average temperatures and CO2 levels rising across the planet, they stress that the time to take immediate steps to combat climate change is now. Fortunately, with the fight comes new and emerging technology to help in that battle. The following are a few areas some industries are exploring in the effort to combat global warming and climate change.

Carbon Capture and Storage

According to National Grid, carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a three-step process that aims to reduce carbon emissions. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has noted that reducing emissions is not enough in the fight against climate change, noting that carbon also must be removed from the atmosphere. CCS is a process in which carbon dioxide (CO2) is separated from other gases produced in industrial processes before it is compressed and transported to a site for storage. The CO2 is then injected into rock formations that are deep underground, including beneath the sea.

Feed Developments For Cows

It might not sound especial-

tech talk

ly technological, but the science behind feeding cows seaweed is designed to reduce bovine methane emissions. Though cows are most associated with a “moo” sound, perhaps a more accurate association would be a belch. Cows belch due to a digestive process known as enteric fermentation, during which sugars are converted into simple molecules that are more easily absorbed in the bloodstream. That process produces methane, which is more than 25 times as potent as carbon dioxide at trapping heat in the atmosphere.

Bovaer is a synthetic feed additive developed by Dutch bioscience company Royal DSM. The product contains 3-NOP, an organic compound that inhibits cows’ methane production. DSM has reported that just a quarter teaspoon of Bovaer per cow per day suppresses the enzyme that triggers methane production in a cow’s rumen within 20 minutes after consumption, then is safely broken down into compounds already naturally present in the cow’s digestive system. It has been shown to consistently reduce methane emission by approximately 30% for dairy cows and up to 90% for beef cows, with no impact on feed intake, production, product quality, or animal welfare. Bovaer has been used experimentally in Canada, and currently has secured regulatory approval in Chili and Brazil, with approval in Europe and other regions expected soon.

Avoiding Resume Scams

STATEWIDE -

Those searching for a new job know all too well how important it is to have a wellcrafted resume to help find the job of their dreams. According to recent Scam Tracker reports, online con artists have devised yet another way to trick job seek-

Asparagopsis seaweed is being researched as a feed additive for its similar ability to interrupt the enzymatic processes that produce methane. Research at the University of California-Davis has shown that feeding three ounces of seaweed per cow per day cuts methane production by more than 80%. Optimism about seaweed as a methane-reducing feed additive has spurred development of Asparagopsis farms on the coasts of Australia, Hawaii and North America.

Kowbucha, a clever twist on the hipster-friendly fermented beverage kombucha, is under early-stage development by dairy processing companies in New Zealand. One such company, Fonterra, is digging into its century-old stores of cultures used for cheese and yogurt production to develop a fermented bovine cocktail that alters the digestive processes that produce methane.

Cloud-Based Data Centers

Cloud-based data centers are convenient for a variety of reasons, but the public may not realize how valuable they can be in the fight against climate change. Also known as a “green cloud,” this new approach to cloud computing aims to reduce energy consumption and environmental impact when deploying digital devices and systems. Cloud services are inherently more sustainable than on-premises IT infrastructure. Not only do public cloud data centers consume energy more efficiently and offer fixed pricing structures, but they are also able to consolidate energy demand from multiple organizations, managing resource use better as a result.

Although companies

third-party headhunters and job finding services for reports of suspicious activity or scams. If no legitimate website or contact information turns up during a search, it is best advised to discontinue interaction.

ers out of both their money and their personal information. The scam is convincing because many of these scam companies use AI software to automate resume reviews. Applicants are asked to pay to reformat their resumes for a company’s applicant tracking system (ATS) during their job search. Tech advisors are warning the public to think twice before agreeing.

How the Scam Works Applicants are contacted by a headhunting company that found their information on LinkedIn or from a job search website. The scammers claim that the job seekers are excellent candidates for well-paying positions they are looking to fill. The applicants then must send their resumes and schedule a virtual interview.

The request seems reasonable, so the job seeker emails their resume over to the scammer. Shortly afterward, the scammers contact them, letting them know that they received the resume, but that it is “not properly formatted” for their Applicant Tracking System (ATS). The “recruiters” then direct the applicant to a website to have the resume reformatted.

The job seeker then visits the website, where they find out they need to submit more personal information and make a payment for the reformatting service. If the job seeker accepts, they then receive a “formatted” resume that often times does not look much different from their original, if they even receive anything at all. The formatting service is a scheme to scam money and personal details for a job they are applying for that does not even exist.

How to Protect Oneself

Research the job offer. If a job seeker gets an offer for an interview, especially one that sounds too good to be true, it is important to research the company, and even the individual sending the email, to see if it is legitimate or not. They should visit the company website or call them directly to see if the job posting or opening even exists. Job seekers should also research

Never pay to get a job. If anyone claims that paying for resume formatting will guarantee a job, or if the scammer mentions paying any type of a fee in general, it is not advisable to believe it.

Guard personal information. Applicants should never be quick to share their personal details. Scammers may insist they need payment information up front before they fix the resume, or they may demand bank details to set up a direct deposit before job seekers have even been interviewed. These are common scam tactics that put applicants at risk for identity theft.

Format resumes before sending them out. Professional headhunters and legitimate companies advise using traditional and simple fonts on the resume. In most cases, resumes should not include extra colors, tables, or charts. Job seekers should spell out all acronyms on their resume, and they should submit them as Word docs instead of PDFs. These are easy “fixes” that applicants should never need to pay for.

Avoiding resume scams is a crucial step for job seekers looking to present their qualifications effectively and truthfully. By exercising caution and conducting thorough research on potential resume writing services and the companies posting the listings, job hunters can protect themselves from falling victim to fraud. Vetting legitimate resume writing services, seeking professional recommendations, and reviewing sample work can go a long way to ensure job seekers can apply for new positions using a professionally crafted resume.

William L. “Bill” Dennett, 80

YORK – William L. “Bill” Dennett, of York, passed away peacefully on July 4, 2023, after a brief illness, with his wife Cathie and daughters, Amanda and Jenn, at his side, and his sonin-law Jonas and granddaughter Hannah, in his heart. He will be forever loved, remembered, and deeply missed by family and friends.

Bill, son of the late Carl A. and Anita F. Dennett, was born on February 2, 1943, at York Hospital in York. He was the eldest of five children. Bill attended York schools, graduating from York High School in 1961. He joined the Work Study Program at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard (PNS) after graduation. Over the course of the next five years, Bill worked in the Ship Silencing Division during his summer breaks from his Mechanical Engineering studies at the University of Maine, Orono.

In 1966, upon graduating from UMO with a BS in Mechanical Engineering, Bill returned to southern Maine and went to work full time at PNS.

Bill met Cathie in 1975. They were married in the fall of 1976 and together they raised two daughters, Amanda and Jenn. Bill was an active, involved, and loving husband and dad. When his daughters were young he enjoyed being in charge of the bedtime routine. As the girls grew, he enjoyed playing games with them, taking them fishing, and attending concerts, dance recitals, and sporting events. He did this not only when his daughters were students, but also when they were the teacher or coach. Through it all Cathie was with him; one was hardly ever seen without the other, whether attending events for their children, going out to breakfast, grocery shopping or running errands around town. The two continued their love of

family games into retirement, with weekly Scrabble games on Sunday mornings. Along with being a husband and father, Bill thoroughly enjoyed his role as father-in-law and grandfather, and loved spending time with his son-in-law Jonas and granddaughter Hannah.

During his tenure at PNS, Bill worked on many submarines and made many friends. He was always happy to tell tales of his travels and sea trials, and happier still to sit down to play cribbage every day during his lunch break. Upon his retirement in 1996, Bill was proud to share that he worked his entire career in the same office. Following his retirement, Bill had more time to invest in one of his favorite hobbies: keeping tropical fish. Not only did he tend to aquariums in his home, but he also volunteered his time setting up and tending to aquariums in the York schools. He eventually took on another job, working in the technology department of the York Public Schools, first working with students at Coastal Ridge Elementary School and then working as tech support for teachers throughout the district. He retired from this second career in 2012, thoroughly enjoying his full retirement.

Bill is survived by his wife Cathie, and their children: Amanda, her husband Jonas, and their daughter Hannah; and Jenn. He is also survived by his siblings: Ann and her husband Bob; John and his wife Nancy; and Jean. He also leaves two nieces and a nephew, a daughter from his previous marriage, and her daughter. He was predeceased by his father Carl, mother Anita, brother Alan, and nephew Timothy.

Bill’s family greatly appreciates all the support they have received from family and friends during this difficult time.

There will be a celebration of Bill’s life held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. For online condolences, visit www.lucaseatonfuneralhome.com.

Jean Laurel Gale, 85

KITTERY – Jean Laurel Gale of Kittery, formerly of Cape Neddick, Weston, MA, and Nashua, NH, passed away on

July 5, 2023, after a brief illness.

Mrs. Gale was b orn to Edward Rudman and Theresa (née Levenson) Rudman, on September 10, 1937. After graduating from the Walnut Hill School, where she was voted most likely to become a famous singer, Mrs. Gale studied fine arts at Syracuse University and Boston University, where she concentrated on piano and voice.

A few months before graduation in 1959, Jean met her future husband, the late William S. Gale, who was then an executive at the Gillette Company. It was love at first sight and, after a brief whirlwind romance, they were married in the backyard of Jean’s childhood home in Nashua, NH. Their marriage lasted over 50 years until William’s passing in 2011.

Mrs. Gale was a serial entrepreneur and a truly modern women who, while simultaneously raising her two sons and keeping home, started a company in the 1970s called “The Deer Path Group,” that ran focus groups for companies developing new consumer products. Simultaneously, she was both an interior decorator and an inventor, and held multiple patents for picture frames and related fixtures.

But, Jean never lost her love of music, and could often be found at her piano, singing, and entertaining her family and friends for hours at a time.

During the early 1960s on one of her many antiquing forays, Jean discovered a trove of paintings languishing in a barn in Francistown, NH, by the nearly forgotten Canadian/ American impressionist, George Loftus Noyes. This discovery

lighted in sharing his story with anyone interested.

You can’t talk about Jean without delighting in that she was also a talented chef. Her home was the gravitational center of countless family meals and holiday gatherings filled with laughter and love. But of all the recipes in Jean’s repertoire, she was most famous for her brownies. “Queen Jean’s” fudge brownies were simply famous. Her children, grandchildren and all that knew Jean coveted her unique take on this treat. They were so popular, in fact, that at one point she considered selling them nationwide. This would have particularly pleased her children’s former college roommates who, to this day, frequently call to say hello but, we all know, just want to know if there are any extras that might be “sent along.” And, in fact, they often are!

Above all, however, Jean was utterly devoted to her family and friends. She adored her husband, her two children, and her four beloved grandchildren. Fiercely compassionate, nurturing, and generous, Mrs. Gale cared for the people in her life in the most selfless way imaginable. Her happiness manifested in the joy she brought others, her hilarious self-deprecating sense of humor and her ability to make ev-

Mrs. Gale was predeceased by her parents, Edward and Theresa Rudman of Nashua, NH; her brother, the late U.S. Senator Warren B. Rudman (R-NH); and sister Carol Rudman of Washington, DC, and her husband William. She is survived by her sons, Jay of South Berwick, and Alan of Gaithersburg, MD. She is also survived by her four grandchildren, Samantha, Julian, Alexandra, and Jonathan; as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

Local Sculptor Unveils New Work in Bangor

SOUTH BERWICKSculptor Anthony Alemany recently installed and unveiled a life-size sculpture of Bangor native Galen Cole, a WWII veteran and local philanthropist. Cole fought in the U.S. 5th Armored Division, and ended up losing his entire squad while fighting in Germany. After the war, he became president of his father’s transportation company, Cole’s Express, and joined the Bangor City Council. His love for history and veterans led him to found The Galen Cole Family Foundation, which offered programs and scholarships to youth and veterans. Galen also served as the Mayor of Bangor, and later went on to found the Cole Land Transportation Museum. He passed away in January 2020. The Cole Family Foundation wanted to honor Galen’s legacy, and sought sculptors to create his likeness for their museum. They reached out to the Green Foundry in Eliot, who recommended Anthony. In October 2021, the local sculptor completed a scale maquette, and upon the family’s approval was then hired on to create the lifesize work in bronze. The project took over a year and a half from concept to installation, with the

It’s the Fourth of July in Southport, North Carolina, and Jesse shows Hank an ominous note he received from someone who knows their romantic secret. Ben Willis, the “Southport Slasher,” sent a similar note to area teen Julie James exactly 25 years ago before wreaking havoc on the town, but that’s just an old urban myth, right? Is this some anniversary prank, or are the friends really in trouble? After ignoring the warnings of town drunk Missy Egan, the group realizes too late that they are in the wrong place at the wrong time.

“Your Last Summer,” an indie horror film produced by local filmmaker Mark J. Parker, won “Best Short Film” at the ShireTown Film Festival this year, and will continue being featured in multiple festival runs through Halloween. Other festival showings include the Soho Horror Film Festival in the UK, the Fan Fiction Film Festival online, and PopCon in Indianapolis.

The film was shot at Seapoint Beach and on Lewis Road in Kittery, with a cast and crew from Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts. The cast, along with Parker, were recently featured in an interview for Portland Media Center’s show, “Friday PM.” Parker has made other horror shorts in New England, winning awards for his films “Family History,” “25 Years After Woodsboro,”

The Young Dubliners Live at Jonathan’s

OGUNQUIT -

After thirty years as one of the world’s leading Celtic rock bands, The Young Dubliners have begun work on their tenth studio album while still maintaining a busy tour schedule. Having survived the crushing impact of the lockdown on the industry, the band has returned stronger than ever, determined to bring their fusion of Celtic and rock music to as many people as they can. With a solid line up, a new batch of songs and the help of their new agency, The “YD” are excited to bring live music back into festivals, theaters and live music venues everywhere.

“We want to be the band who reminds the world how important a good gig can be to our sanity after what we’ve all been through,” says lead guitar and vocalist Keith Roberts. For

only the second time the band is looking to its fans to finance the album instead of depending on traditional record company.

“The business has changed so much over our lifetime that it no longer makes sense for us to take money from a label and then owe it all back,” Roberts adds.

“Making all our supporters coproducers is a far more rewarding way to make a record and allows us to maintain control all the way.”

The band has teamed up with long time producer Tim Boland, and will begin recording in the coming months.

In recent years the Young Dubs have appeared twice on ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” had songs featured in TV shows “Sons Of Anarchy” and “Human Target,” and toured extensively both as headliners

and as the opening act for Collective Soul, Jethro Tull, Johnny Lang, Los Lobos, Chris Isaak, among others. Although the Young Dubliners sound is most commonly called “Celtic Rock,” that label can be misleading. The Irish influence is certainly there, but it is not the only influence that bursts through their music.

Several of the band members have no Irish roots of any kind. “That was always the idea,” explains Roberts. “The sound was intended to be a hybrid, because we all come from different backgrounds. Even though I am from Ireland, a lot of the music I listened to growing up wasn’t Irish at all, but when I got here, I got homesick and developed a new appreciation for Irish music. In truth, the Celtic riffs can just as easily come from the American band members. Everyone writes now, so you never know what you’ll end up with!”

The young Dubliners are performing at Jonathan’s Ogunquit on Saturday, July 22 at 9 p.m. Jonathan’s is located at 92

Bourne Lane in Ogunquit. For more information, visit www. jonathansogunquit.com or call 207-646-4777.

Hackmatack Starts Its Second Act

BERWICK -

The centuries-old barn at at Hackmatack Playhouse in Berwick is getting a makeover for the theater’s 51st season.

The rustic farm has been a professional summer stock theater since 1972, when founder S. Carleton Guptill converted the 200-year-old dairy barn into a live performance theater venue.

The theater’s new transformation is the vision of Aram and Conor Guptill (pictured to the right), two of Carleton’s grand-

children, and the third generation in the family to produce theater in the barn.

Last summer, Aram and Conor’s father, Michael Guptill, announced that the 50th season would be the final season of the historic theater. Many community members mourned the end of a slice of rural Americana history. Then, that following December, Aram and Conor announced their plans to re-open the theater, to much fanfare.

“In re-opening the theater, we knew that we wanted to stay committed to what Hackmatack has meant to so many people, a place to come together as a community to enjoy professional theater in a beautiful pastoral

setting,” said Conor. “However, we also knew that significant changes had to happen to make the theater sustainable for the future. It’s no secret the struggle the live entertainment industry has faced since the growth of streaming services and the pandemic.”

What are the transformative changes that the brothers are implementing? First, they removed the century-old fixedrow seating. “A common tall tale from the early days of Hackmatack is that patrons had to sit on hay bales surrounded by cows,” said Aram. “However, this is mythologized lore.” Carleton purchased the original seats at an enormous discount from a movie theater that was going out of business. The seats were

already 50 years old when purchased, making them 100 years old at the time of their removal.

Under the careful guidance of relative Stephen Guptill and New Creation Custom Building, Hackmatack has also improved the old cement floor by installing tongue-and-groove fir flooring over it. The old cement flooring was “kept in place if we ever had to switch back to mucking out stalls,” said Aram, adding that it was not in their new plans to do so anytime soon.

While temporary seating has been purchased for the season, “not hay bales,” noted Aram, a new Capital Campaign is underway to secure permanent moveable seating for the theater, which would allow for greater accessibility and mobility for all visitors and create a space for immersive community events.

The new infrastructure changes are a part of a bigger vision for Hackmatack as a live

events venue. In addition to their mainstage summer stock shows, Hackmatack has begun a live concert series. The brothers are also continuing weekly bluegrass jams, hosting two theater education camps for children, as well as providing a space for contra dancing, and farming workshops. They also plan on hosting more private events, such as weddings and business conferences.

Coming up: Sundays 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., starting July 23, enjoy a bluegrass jam on the porch lead by the talented Cecil Abels; Currently performing in the theater is “Mark Twain’s Folly” until July 29; and Youth Theater Camp, geared towards ages 7-13 will be starting on July 31.

For more information and a complete list of events, visit www.hackmatack.org or call 207-698-1807. For further inquiries, email Hackmatack Marketing Manager Ben Bagley at benbagleymultimedia@gmail.com.

Rapsis Returns to Leavitt for Silent Classic “Zaza”

OGUNQUITSilent films hold their unique place in the history of cinema, with one element that brought them to life being the live musical accompaniment. Jeff Rapsis, a renowned silent film accompanist, is set to perform a live score to the classic Gloria Swanson film “Zaza” (1923) at the Leavitt Theatre in Ogunquit. Rapsis, known for his improvisational skills, will recreate the musical score he created for the film’s DVD release. With his passion for silent film and music, Rapsis aims to transport audiences back in time to the golden era of cinema.

“It was a real thrill to put together a musical score for this great feature film, which has never been available for home viewing before,” Rapsis said. “I feel like I’ve collaborated with Gloria Swanson and the team that made this film.”

“Zaza” is a romantic melodrama that stars Swanson as a temperamental music hall performer in a provincial French theater. She falls in love with a high-ranking diplomat, portrayed by H.B. Warner, and their romance unfolds with unexpected twists and turns. Released in 1923, “Zaza” was considered a significant film for Paramount and played a vital role in establishing Swanson as a major star of the era. Rapsis has meticulously

created a musical score for this film, combining his improvisational talent with cues from the surviving 1923 cue sheet provided by the studio.

The accompanist has been involved in silent films for over a decade, currently performing at over 120 screenings each year. Unlike traditional musicians who rely on sheet music, Rapsis composes the music on the spot, syncing it with the action on the screen. This approach adds an element of live performance energy to the viewing experience, as the music intertwines with the visuals. Rapsis immerses himself in the process, allowing the music to organically respond to the film in real time.

“Zaza” contains multiple on-screen references to “Plaisir d’Amour,” a 19th century love song with enduring popularity in France. Using it today, however, creates problems, because

the tune is identical to the song

“I Can’t Help Falling in Love With You,” popularized by Elvis Presley. “If you’re not careful, it can sound like you’re using a 1950s Elvis hit to accompany Gloria Swanson in post-World War I France,” Rapsis said. He addressed the problem by playing the tune with a classical accompaniment, and also making minor changes to “de-Elvis” the melody.

The Leavitt Theatre has curated a series of silent film screenings, all of which commemorate

their 100th anniversaries. For the Leavitt Theatre screening, Rapsis will recreate the score he put together earlier this year for the DVD release. The music was based on a surviving “cue sheet” from the studio that offered suggested music to play when the film was in theatres in 1923. “Some of the suggestions seemed right on, while others didn’t,” Rapsis said.

“Just like musicians of the silent era, I followed some, and in other places created my own material.”

Rapsis performs live to the screening of “Zaza” on Wednesday, July 26 at 6 p.m. Leavitt Theatre is located at 259 Main St., (Route 1) in Ogunquit. Admission is $12 per person. For more information, visit www. leavittheatre.com.

and “Sticks.” He has also worked in film and television in New York City, where he lived before moving to Kittery in 2020. He currently works at the Ogunquit Playhouse.

Parker’s short horror comedy, “Casting Kill,” was filmed in Biddeford last summer, and is almost complete and ready for festivals as well. He is also currently casting a short drama for another filmmaker, to be filmed this summer in southern Maine.

“Because ‘Your Last Summer’ was produced by gay filmmakers, our goal was to add a new queer angle to the story,” Parker says. “The DNA of the franchise is about secrets, and since I like to include queer characters in my films as often as I can, this is for all the queer and queer-friendly horror lovers out there. After my fan film “25 Years After Woodsboro” became popular on YouTube in 2022, I decided to make another anniversary sequel to a popular 1990s slasher with this one.”

The film was written, directed & edited by Parker, and produced by Parker, Greg Clements and Tom Ciuba. The movie is based on characters created by writer Lois Duncan, who wrote the original novel, “I Know What You Did Last Summer” in

Recent Leadership Appointments at KSD Waypoint Announces Results from Tele-Fest 2023

KITTERY -

Eric Waddell, Superintendent of Schools for the Kittery School District (KSD), announced two recent appointments to the district’s leadership team.

Joe Bassett is now the district’s Director of Special Services, overseeing the district’s special education program. His office is located within the Town Hall, at 200 Rogers Road.

Bassett is no stranger to KSD, having served as a special educator and case manager at Shapleigh School for a number of years. He has also played an important role on the school’s teacher leadership team. He replaces Jane Durgin, longtime Director of Special Service, who was appointed earlier this spring as the principal of Traip Academy.

Bassett holds a Master’s Degree in Educational Leadership from the University of Southern Maine. His new assignment began on July 1.

Superintendent Waddell has also announced the appoint-

ment of Kendra Downs as Assistant Principal at Mitchell Primary School. Downs has been a longtime educator at Mitchell Primary School, having taught both first and second grades since 2011. Most recently, her assignment has been Instructional Practice & Intervention Specialist, a grant-funded position with a focus on coordinating intervention and support for students who had fallen behind academically, due in large part to the interruptions caused by the pandemic.

Downs earned a Master’s Degree in Elementary Education

from the University of New England, as well as a Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study with a focus on the assistant principalship from USM. Her new assignment began on July 1.

“I am so pleased with the work that both selection committees did for these positions,” noted Superintendent Waddell. “Although it does not always happen this way, the fact that these important leadership positions were filled internally speaks to the quality of our entire staff in the Kittery School district.”

STATEWIDEMaine legislators recently introduced bipartisan legislation to ensure rural communities throughout the state have access to adequate emergency medical services. The Protecting Access to Ground Ambulance Medical Services Act allows ambulance providers to be properly reimbursed by Medicare for the costs of providing emergency services, while also ensuring that existing EMT services, particularly in more rural locations, remain operational, with sufficient staff and supplies.

Currently, Medicare reimburses ambulance service providers and suppliers across the country at rates below the cost of providing services. This requires add-on payments for urban, rural, and super-rural ambulances. The Protecting Access to Ground Ambulance Medical Services Act would extend those rates for an additional five years. Additionally, the bill would protect ambulances from reimbursement changes tied to census data that misrepresents the need for services in rural regions.

“Whether an automobile accident, a fire, a health crisis, or another catastrophe, paramedics are there in those first critical minutes when courage, skill, and compassion are most needed,” said Senator Susan Collins, who co-sponsored the bill. “Our bipartisan bill would support these first responders, especially those in rural and underserved communities, by ensuring they are adequately reimbursed by Medicare for their services. As a senator representing one of the most rural states in the country, I will continue to support the brave men and women who work around the clock to protect our communities.”

“We thank Senators Cortez Masto, Collins, Stabenow, and Cassidy for introducing this extremely important legislation. Ambulance Services in Maine and across our Nation are dealing with a

worsening crisis caused by funding inadequacies and workforce shortages. Many Services are nearing a breaking point.” Said Robert Russell, President of the Maine Ambulance Association.

“Increased funding in this bill will be a lifeline for many of Maine’s Rural communities and will help close the gap between the disparity of reimbursement and cost.”

The act is supported by the American Ambulance Association, the National Rural Health Association, the Congressional Fire Services Institute, the National Volunteer Fire Council, the International Association of Fire Fighters, and the International Association of Fire Chiefs. It awaits further approval.

STATEWIDEPaid Family and Medical Leave (PFML) has been signed into law. The landmark measure enables working family caregivers to take extended time off from work for situations such as caring for a loved one with a serious illness or taking time to care for themselves without losing pay.

PFML is designed to help Mainers manage care for their own health and manage family caregiving responsibilities when their loved ones need support. It also helps ensure workers can balance their caregiving and work obligations, thereby keeping them in the workforce and protecting their financial security.

caregivers, the Maine Legislature enacted a Paid Family and Medical Leave program allowing workers to take time off to care for themselves, a family member or a loved one,” said Noël Bonam, AARP Maine State Director. He continues: “This new law will support family caregivers who work to better balance their job and family responsibilities, reducing their stress and allowing them to better care for their loved ones.

We thank bill sponsors Senator Daughtry and Representative Cloutier for championing this critical cause, and Governor Mills for signing the bill into law.”

Many of Maine’s caregivers work full- or part-time jobs while supporting their loved ones, often reporting experienc-

ing emotional stress caused by balancing caregiving and their work obligations. PFML provides relief to Maine’s 166,000 family caregivers who work every day to help their older parents, spouses or other loved ones live independently at home, where they want to be.

“Paid Family and Medical Leave is crucial in supporting Maine families as they care for their loved ones,” said Portland resident and AARP Maine activist, Star Pelsue. “One never knows which curve ball may come one’s way, but Paid Family and Medical Leave will help lessen the burden when that occurs. This program could alleviate one’s additional stress as a caregiver during what for most is a highly stressful time.”

AARP is the nation’s largest nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to empowering Americans 50 and older to choose how they live as they age. With nearly 38 million members and offices in every state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, AARP works to strengthen communities with a focus on health security, financial stability and personal fulfillment.

FINANCE & CAREER

York Hospital Receives Grant to Expand Lending Library

SOUTH BERWICKYork Hospital is pleased to announce that it recently received a generous $1,700 grant from the St. Peter’s by the Sea Charitable Grants Committee to help expand the lending library for patients and their caregivers at their Center for Older Adults in South Berwick.

When the pandemic arrived, the Center for Older Adults launched a virtual book club to provide resources to patients, family members, and caregivers to help navigate new diagnoses from the comfort of home. During the six-monthlong program, patients, providers, and caregivers all read the same books and then joined virtual discussions moderated by a facilitator to share insights. Based on the success of the initial book club, the Center for Older Adults started a lending library in 2022 so that patients and their families could benefit from borrowing books about topics of interest, including new diagnoses and caregiving topics. The

books have been popular with patients and their families, and the Center for Older Adults is grateful for this grant support to expand the variety of books and subjects offered.

The Center for Older Adults offers programs and services to better serve patients who are 65 years of age or older. Patients and their caregivers learn about the lending library at their appointments and can request books at the front desk. There is a sign-out sheet and staff follows up to ensure books are returned. Titles in the current collection

range from medical information on aging and cognition to memoirs and personal patient narratives. This grant from St. Peter’s by the Sea will help expand selections to include other important concerns for older adults, such as nutrition, diet, exercise, and sleep hygiene.

York Hospital President & CEO, Dr. Patrick Taylor thanked the Committee saying, “As an independent, nonprofit community hospital, we strive to not only meet the medical needs of the patients and families we serve – we also aim to promote improvements in mind, body, and spirit in pursuit of wellbeing. We are grateful to the St. Peter’s Charitable Grants Committee for supporting and sharing this mission with us throughout our Seacoast communities.”

At PNSY, the Senator showed Under Secretary Raven the important modernization efforts at Dry Dock #1 that will allow the shipyard to increase its capacity for maintaining the Navy’s submarine fleet. Senator King has long championed this modernization project. In the 2021 National Defense Authorization Act, King secured $160 million for the project, and in September 2021, he took part in the Dry Dock’s groundbreaking.

funding for both Bath Iron Works (BIW) and Portsmouth Naval Shipyard (PNSY). In the 2022 National Defense Authorization Act, Senator King secured authorization of $4.9 billion for the procurement of 3 DDG-51 Arleigh Burke-class destroyers which BIW can compete to build and $2.5 million for the planning and design of a new child development center for PNSY. In 2021, he hosted Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro at BIW where they took part in a similar tour, and earlier, he hosted Acting Secretary of the Navy Thomas Harker at both BIW and PNSY.

LEGAL & PUBLIC NOTICES

NOTICE OF CATEGORICAL EXCLUSION

The State of Maine, Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), Drinking Water Program (DWP) has issued a Categorical Exclusion in compliance with Section 6 of “Rules Relating to Drinking Water, State Revolving Loan Fund, Chapter 230”, on behalf of the York Water District of York, Maine. Issuance of the Categorical Exclusion is to exempt a proposed action from formal Environmental Review requirements.

The proposed action is to purchase a parcel of land comprised of 7.2 acres located in York, Maine. The property contains 6.2 acres within York Water District’s source watershed, the Chases Pond Watershed. As development and human activities have the potential to contaminate public water supply sources, the DWP considers land ownership the most desirable means of protection. The District currently owns or controls 1,703 acres or 91% of the watershed and has sought to acquire remaining parcels as they become available to fully secure all recharge areas of Chases Pond, York Water District’s drinking water source.

Proactive purchase of this parcel would prevent any potential of the property being sold to a developer and subdivided into multiple lots, leading to negative water quality impacts.

A review of the proposed action by the DWP has indicated that it meets the criteria for Categorical Exclusion. Specifically, the proposed action is the purchase of land integral to the implementation of a source water protection plan. Furthermore, none of the criteria, which would result in the denial of a Categorical Exclusion, have been met. This exclusion may be revoked at any time if the criteria used for this issuance are violated.

Further records of this project are on file and are available for review at the office of the York Water District, PO BOX 447, York, ME 03909 and at the Department of Health and Human Services, Drinking Water Program, 286 Water Street, Augusta, ME 04330.

Aside from being a stunner, I like to seek attention from my human friends on my own terms.

It’s not that I am unfriendly, I just know what I want and express my feelings accordingly. I love my head scratches and will rub against legs and feet for attention, so be ready to shower me with love! When I am done, however, off I go to sunbathe or nap, or clean my beautiful face with my paws. Of course, with all the love and attention I crave, I give it back 110%. Family means everything to me, and I cannot wait to be a part of a special one. I am a loving and loyal companion who will bring so color, light, and glamor home.

Ready to be dazzled by me?

Please give my friends here at AWS a call, or stop by the shelter to say hello. I will be the blindingly beautiful cat in the windowsill waiting for my charming family to sweep me away!

Wiffle Ball Tournament is a Home Run

KENNEBUNK -

What did Tommy McNamara love most about his summers and Kennebunk? Family and friends, of course, and he loved playing Wiffle Ball with his best friends in his backyard or at “The Hose.”

So, after the tragic loss of Tommy in July 2012, his family and friends sought to find healing in establishing the Tommy McNamara Charitable Foundation (TMCF). Their first big event was the Tommy McNamara Wiffle Ball Tournament, and it was an immediate hit. Not only did it give them a reason to laugh together again, it became the signature fundraiser for the organization on a mission to fund recreational facilities and programs in the KennebunkKennebunkport community.

“We have been blessed to receive incredible support from... friends, local sponsors, and the Kennebunk-ArundelKennebunkport community since the inception of the Tommy McNamara Charitable Foundation,” said Tom McNamara, who co-founded TMCF with life-long friend Dave Sweetser. “Our annual tournament has been successful each year and has allowed us to raise adequate funds

to support a growing number of local recreational programs.”

To date, TMCF has given almost $700,000 in contributions to fund local projects and programs. Among the highlights:

Kennebunk High School Athletic Complex; River Tree Arts’ portable dance stage for youth dance programs; Mobi-Mat wheelchair access pad at Mother’s Beach; Beach wheelchair that enables folks to enjoy the beach where they might not otherwise be able to navigate the terrain; Special Surfers Nights at Kennebunk Beach; Inclusive Playground at Kennebunk Elementary School, as a major contributor; Kennebunk Recreation Department, Kennebunkport Recreation Department and Arundel Recreation Department donations to support family scholarships for summer rec camp; New pitching machines for Kennebunk

Cape Neddick Women’s League

Through five weeks, On in Two sits in first place with 80 Stableford points while Birdie Juice trails by two points, with 78. Teams Chicks with Sticks and Easy Aces are tied for third place with 72. Flirty Birdies sit in fifth place with 69 points and team Calo Crushers are in sixth place with 65 points. The top performers from each team were: Paula Carey from Birdie Juice, who led all women this week with 22 points; Michelle Freni,

CNCC Men’s Senior League

High School baseball and softball teams; New mats for Kennebunk-Kennebunkport Youth Wrestling Organization; New safety helmets for all players in the Kennebunk-Kennebunkport Youth Football Association; Hope Woods Trail to help develop the universally accessible nature trail; Kennebunk Skate Park, as a major contributor; and Sia’s Memorial Garden at Kennebunk Elementary School.

The first project was to design and build the Tommy McNamara Wiffle Ball Field behind Washington Hose Company in Lower Village in 2013. This is a world-class Wiffle Ball Park, complete with covered seating pavilions behind the fence in both left and right field. In addition to providing a great facility for local kids and families, the new field paved the way for the annual Wiffle Ball Tournament.

CAPE NEDDICK -

The “Over the Hill Gang” returned to action on Thursday, July 13 on Cape Neddick Country Club’s (CNCC) par 34 front nine where sixteen singles matches and eight four ball matches were concurrently played. Four pairs, Jay Audet and Stu Rubinstein, George Gochros and Doug Quagliaroli, Jed Lowry and Michael Lynch, and Keith O’Connor and Bob Whitelaw each scored 3 points with singles and four ball victories. Three other pairs, Mike Estes and Richard Paul, Joe D’Isidoro and Lee Page, and Dave Aimola and Chuck Condon posted the low net scores of the week with 4-under par 30s. Current league leaders Bob Satter and Frank Zito are feeling a bit more pressure as the lead they have held since early

on in the fifteen week season has now been reduced to a single point. Two pairs, Gochros and Quagliaroli and Audet and Rubinstein are tied for second place.

Individually, A Division golfers Audet and Dave DiBona each posted gross scores of 4-over par 38 and B Division golfer Lee Page was the B Division medalist with his 8-over par 42. Mike Estes had the low net score (2-under par) in Division A while Page had the low net score (3-under par) in Division B. Jed Lowry and Joe D’Isidoro are currently tied for 1st place in Division A with 6 seasonlong singles points and Doug Quagliaroli leads all players in Division B with 7.5 points. Five players won net skins, including George Gochros, Walter Krug, Chuck Condon, Bob Whitelaw and Lee Page who won two.

20 points, On in Two; Dawn Fernald, 18 points, Chicks with Sticks; Ashley Owen, 17 points, Flirty Birdies; Eleanor Vadenais, 17 points, Calo Crushers; and Debbie Cronan, 15 points, Easy Aces.

Dawn Fernald jumped into first place in the seasonlong individual points standings. Her 84 points leads three golfers, Linda McCamic, Eileen Doucette, and Michelle Freni, who are tied for secnd place, just two points back. Cindy DiTullio, with 78 points, is in fifth place.

Susan McDonough continues to lead all alternates with 53 points.

Three golfers, Amanda Richards, 5th hole, Dawn Fernald 9th hole, and Michelle Freni

3rd hole, got birdies this week.

It was Fernald’s first, Freni’s second, and Richards’ third on the season.

This year the tournament will take place on Saturday, July 29, and will feature 34 teams in three competitive divisions, each playing to win the coveted Tommy Mac Wiffle Ball Championship Cups. New this year is a Youth Wiffle Ball Tournament on Sunday, July 30. It will also take place at the field behind Washington Hose Company, open to ages 6-14. Teams will play based on ages and abilities, with adult pitch for younger ages. Teams consist of four to five players, and everyone bats. Games start at 8:30 a.m. and will run through mid-afternoon, depending on team numbers. The first tournament pitch

flies at 8 a.m. Saturday morning, followed by a full day of friendly, but fierce, competition. The event concludes with a fun night of awards, music, and merriment under the tent at Webhannet Golf Club. The tournament is always open to spectators and sponsors looking to cheer them on.

“We have to raise money to give it away,” said Sue Rioux, a board member and family friend of the McNamara family. “TMCF is a very special mission close to my heart, and you know where the money goes directly to our community. There’s no “a portion of the proceeds” going to our projects, it’s 100% all going

to the cause.”

Two other regular fundraisers throughout the year include the virtual annual Masters Pool and the Tommy Mac Bar Crawl in Boston.

The Wiffle Ball Tournament is the signature fundraiser, though, and sponsors are still needed to reach this year‘s goal.

“We are so thankful for the generosity of those who have donated to support our mission, which ultimately will enable more children and adults to enjoy outdoor activities within our beautiful community,” said McNamara.
