Strawberry Festival Returns for 2023

SOUTH BERWICK -

The South Berwick Strawberry Festival is back! The festival will take place Saturday, June 24, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and will feature dozens of local artisans, artists, and vendors who will be set up on the grounds of Central School, at 197 Main Street.

The festival has been a community staple since 1976. As told by the festival’s website, it “is all about volunteerism and giving

back to the community. The organizing committee is comprised of hardworking local residents who volunteer their time and skills year-round. Together, with hundreds of local volunteers and other local nonprofit organizations who supply hands-on support, an event is created that showcases the talents of craftsmen from all around the region, the musical aspirations of area talent, and the enjoyment of watching children

frolic among the wonderment of it all. The food is all supplied by local non-profit groups who raise money to support their organizations. When all is said and done, the proceeds raised by the festival committee are returned back to the local nonprofit groups in the form of grants to support local community projects.”

Free entertainment all day long will be provided by local groups MixTape Acapella, Marshwood Middle School Rock

19th Century Base Ball Game and Bazaar in Kennebunk

KENNEBUNKThe Brick Store Museum will once again host its annual Vintage Base Ball Game at Parsons Field in Kennebunk, on Saturday, July 1 at 12 p.m. The game will be played by “living history” teams, who embody the game of baseball as it was played in the 1860s, complete with wool uniforms and different rules (no gloves and the ball can bounce before a catch). Maine’s Dirigo Vintage Baseball Club will face off against Massachusetts’ Mudville team at 12 p.m. on the field. Tickets are $10, $5 for Brick Store members. Sales go to support the museum’s educational mission in the community. Chil-

dren under 12 can attend free.

“Making history come alive is our job,” Executive Director Cynthia Walker said.

“Now, mix history with baseball, and we have quite the event. It’s something that’s touched all of our lives. We hope visitors will take a trip back in time with us to the 1860s, when baseball was just starting.”

Participants will feel as though they traveled back in time for the afternoon. In addi-

tion to the game will be a Vintage Bazaar, selling hot dogs and “game food,” a bake sale supported by area restaurants and community members, and kite and pinwheel making workshops.

The Vintage Base Ball Game has been generously sponsored by Shipyard Brewing Company, Kennebunk Savings Bank, and Mari Mattuchio Bookkeeping.

LifeFlight Expands to Critical Care Ground Transport

STATEWIDELifeFlight of Maine has announced that it will acquire three specialized ground ambulances and launch a critical care ground transport program, ensuring that seriously ill and injured patients in Maine continue to get the emergency care they need.

The specialized ground ambulances will be stationed at each of LifeFlight’s existing bases, in Bangor, Lewiston, and Sanford. Just like the aircraft, the vehicles will carry specialized medical equipment, creating a mobile ICU with a portable laboratory, ventilators, an ultrasound, invasive cardiac, neuro- and pulmonary monitors, infusion pumps, specialized neonatal and pediatric transport equipment, and hos-

pital pharmacy and blood. LifeFlight crews will continue the care already started in hospitals for patients who need ICU-level care during transport. With the demand for Life-

Flight services increasing each year, and with EMS services struggling to meet local needs, the decision for LifeFlight to invest in its own critical care ground transport vehicles is

vital to ensuring its ongoing emergency care reliability. The investment is funded through the work of The LifeFlight Foundation. More than $500,000 has already been raised, with an end goal of raising the total $1,920,000 needed for the new vehicles.

Annually, LifeFlight of Maine transports more than 2,500 patients, an average of one transport every three and a half hours. LifeFlight teams reach patients by ground transport when the helicopters and airplane are unavailable due to weather, maintenance, or because they are already in the air transporting other patients. LifeFlight also travels by ground when critical care is required,

See FLIGHT on page 12 . . .

Students from the Sanford Regional Technical Center recently took a field trip to the Sanford airport to learn about LifeFlight and the skill sets and equipment needed in critical care transport medicine. They met with paramedic and base manager Sean Brackett, registered nurse Melissa Dufault, paramedic Jeff Hammersmith, and pilot Tom McDevitt. Photo from LifeFlight Manie on Facebook.

Fire Department Collects Equipment for Ukraine

OGUNQUITWhen Chief Osgood met a team of Ukrainian firefighters at the Fire Department Instructors Conference (FDIC) in April, he knew that Ogunquit could help them by supplying much needed rescue equipment. Osgood said, “Hearing the personal accounts of the firefighters working in a war zone was sobering. The amount of damage, working around unexploded ordnance, the multitudes of deaths, the building collapses, all take people and equipment, so we are pleased to be collecting equipment that we no longer use here but can be of value to the firefighters in Ukraine.”

Kittery Storm Drain Stenciling

KITTERY -

The Ogunquit Selectboard unanimously agreed and voted to donate protective gear, tools and self-contained breathing apparatus no longer used by the department. The fire department is leading an effort in Maine to collect unused gear for Ukraine, which firefighters and rescue workers can put to use on the frontlines. “Discovering the effort by Clifton, NJ, firefighter Oleg Skachko to get equipment to his homeland seemed like a good fit for our surplus equipment,” Osgood said.

The fire department is collecting supplies and donations until July 1. “We have already received donations from York Beach, Mechanic Falls, Pittsfield, and understand Ellsworth and many others are planning to deliver equipment,” said Captain Scott Bourque.

After collection, the equipment will be transported to New Jersey for shipment to Ukraine. Fire departments interested in donating can drop donations off to the Ogunquit Fire Department, at 15 School St., Ogunquit. For more information, email firechief@ogunquit.gov or call the station at 207-646-5112.

Ever noticed any blue fish swimming along Kittery streets lately? The fish are popping up for a great reason, and it all has to do with protecting local waters. In order to raise awareness for reducing stormwater pollution, the Town of Kittery Public Works Department, along with local volunteers, have been applying stencils alongside open grates in the street throughout town.

It is important to understand that these open grates, known as storm drains or catch basins, lead directly to beloved local water bodies like Spruce Creek, Chauncey Creek, the Piscataqua River and eventually to the ocean. Anything on the streets – pet waste, leaves, wrappers, dirt, cigarettes, litter – ends up in these catch basins and can then flow out to the water, untreated. During big rain events,

even things on lawns, like excess fertilizer or pesticides, can end up in the catch basins and eventually in the water.

The Town of Kittery inspects and cleans approximately 921 catch basins each year. With help in keeping these drains clean, they can protect water bodies and minimize this catch basin cleaning effort.

For more information, visit www.kitteryme.gov/publicworks/pages/stormwaterms4program or call 207-752-7242.

WELLSZOOM! There goes Izzy! Izzy is a six-month-old ball of fire. As Izzy streaks past, she displays her zest for life and adventure, although in the photo she might seem rather Zen-like and centered. That is probably the only image of her that is not blurry, because Izzy is always on the move.

Izzy is a stunning classic tuxedo, with beautiful markings and long, white whiskers. At six months of age, Izzy is halfway to adulthood, but she is enjoying every minute of her kitten years and the energy it provides.

Izzy would do best in a household with another kitty to play with, or maybe a friendly dog. With her boundless energy, she needs to be kept busy all the time. At this age, Izzy could not care less about cuddling. She will happily rest long enough to catch her breath, but then, ZOOM!she’s off and running again.

NORTH BERWICK -

Introducing our beautiful pup of the week, Nova! Nova is an eight-month-old Lab mix from an overcrowded shelter in New Iberia, LA.

Nova is spayed and current on her vaccinations. She is about 40 lbs., and would make a great walking buddy.

Nova would do well in most any home. She is good with other dogs, and kids over eight years old. Give us a call, as we will be setting up meet-and-greets this week!

Emma’s Angels Rescue is an all-volunteer, foster-based organization in North Berwick. A huge thank you to the donors who have been helping replenish our dry dog food supply! We could not do it without you. We have a donations drop box at 30 Meeting House Road, North Berwick, that is checked twice a day.

more that same affection will be paid back as she gets older. Now is the time to show Izzy that love is as wonderful as playtime. Frequent interactive playtime would be best for Izzy, where she can learn to bond with her humans and still have some fun at the same time!

Izzy needs pet parents who are patient and who will gently teach her boundaries. She needs more confidence as well, but as she is only a kitten, she will learn that in time, with the right family. Scolding or punishing a cat is always highly discouraged. Cats, especially kittens, are just as capable of learning as children, with proper teaching and structured playtime.

Safe Haven currently has about 65 cats in care, and the shelter is concerned about food and litter supplies getting low.

KENNEBUNKHi there, I’m Smoke! How are you? I’m so happy to meet you today and I hope that you feel the same. I’m a pretty awesome guy, if I do say so myself, and I know that I would be a wonderful new family member to your little pack. After all, I love to play and bounce around and I’m always ready to have a good time. My friends here at AWS tell me summer is here, and I’m so excited to get the ball rolling – literally! I hope with the change of seasons comes a change for ol’ Smoke, and that change will be a metamorphosis into the best family dog you have ever met!

Like I said, I love to play

and I’m full of energy and a love for life. You see, I’m only about a year old so I still have a lot of my puppy spunk that shines through. I could see myself running with you on the beach, hiking up a mountain or walking local trails, sunning myself on the porch while you grill some hamburgers, or perhaps hanging my head out the window while we go for an afternoon drive. What a life that would be! I’m originally from the south so I’m used to warm weather and long, sunny days, but I heard that the Maine weather here is much different. I can’t wait for the first snow! I heard it’s fun to run through and that it falls right from the sky! However, I’m

I know that good things take time and that I have to be patient, but I’m just so ready to make my way home that I can barely contain my enthusiasm! Every time I see a new person my whole body becomes wiggles,

and my tail wags around like crazy. I just love meeting people and making those soulful connections. I hope to finally find my perfect family because I know I would fill our home with happy tail wags, wet morning kisses, and lots of snuggles and belly rubs. What more could you want?? If you think this sounds like the life for you, please give my friends here a call to meet me.

Mary Small Foster, 85

WELLS – Mary Small Foster passed away Saturday, June 10, 2023, at Biddeford Hospital, with family by her side. She was born April 22, 1938 in Pembroke, to parents Carle and Phyllis (Brown) Small, who predeceased her. She was also predeceased by her sisters, Belle Clark, Jane Morgan, and Muriel Duffy.

Mary graduated from Pembroke High School and married Dana Foster in November 1956. They celebrated 66 years together, making homes in Machias, Hampden, Wells, West Lebanon, NH, and Lakeland, FL.

She leaves her husband Dana; daughter Cynthia (Cindy) Foster of Wells; grandson Ben Benson (Elissa Olsen) and greatgranddaughter Ivy Benson; grandson Drew Benson (Kellie) and great-granddaughters, Addie and Rylie; Dana Foster (Lisa) of Pensacola, FL, granddaughter Brittany Foster, and great-granddaughter Leighton; grandson Blake Foster (Chelsey) and greatgrandsons, Ezra and Quin; Julie Foster Perrin (Chris) of Standish and grandsons, Mitchell and Will; Dwight Foster (Kathy) of York, and granddaughter Kate Foster; and grandson Nick Foster (Stephanie) of Berwick and greatgranddaughters, Athena and Sophia.

Mary was a devoted and quick-witted person who quietly made things happen. As a young child, she took her father his lunch up a steep ladder to

the second story of the Eastport Cannery (she was scared of heights). In adulthood, she made a concerted effort at the Ditty Box Thrift Store in Wells (all proceeds go to the Congregational Church of Wells) to take in lightly used goods, price them, seek and train volunteers and keep everything clean and fresh in the store, while encouraging everyone to have a voice in the process. Mary was a kind woman who had a quiet determination. Those in her family, at the church and at the Ditty enjoyed her sometimes deadpan sense of humor and kindness to every person she met. She will be immensely missed every day by her family and friends.

Mary was an active member of the Congregational Church of Wells. Mary and Dana shepherded together the Ditty Box Thrift Store in Wells for the last 12 years, supporting the Congregational Church of Wells. In past years she also was a strong supporter of the West Lebanon, NH, Congregational Church. She was the office manager for North Country Court Reporters in West Lebanon, and was still providing proofreading services for Cindy in Wells.

Services for Mary will be held on Friday, June 23, at 2 p.m. at the Congregational Church of Wells, 1695 Post Road, Wells, with a reception following the service at the church.

In lieu of flowers, we ask that friends and family donate to the church in Wells in her memory. She loved the church, was a good and faithful servant to God, and worked hard to see that the church thrived. Please send checks to the church in Mary’s memory.

To share a memory or leave a message of condolence please visit Mary’s Book of Memories Page at www.bibberfuneral.com. Arrangements are in the care of Bibber Memorial Chapel, 111 Chapel Road, Wells.

Nelson J. Giordano, Jr., 72

YORK – Nelson J. Giordano, Jr. of York, passed away at home on Friday, June 9, 2023, after a prolonged period of declining health.

Nelson was born April 12, 1951 and grew up in Farmingdale, NY, where he graduated from Farmingdale High School and went on to earn a degree in Accounting from Nichols College. After graduating, he embarked on a 40 year career as an accountant and auditor. His greatest satisfaction was mentoring his staff members and assisting in the growth of their careers. In recent years he enjoyed his work at Cumberland Farms, where he brightened his customers’ days with a hearty greeting, kind word and willingness to listen and comfort.

His favorite pastimes were a good meal in a fine restaurant, travel, the annual Giordano Christmas party, attending and volunteering at First Parish Church and his work as a member of the York Budget Committee for six years. Nelson’s volunteer work started early in life, beginning with a drug prevention program he founded in high school and continuing through his elections to student council in high school and college. In any situation, he first considered how it affected others and how he could help.

Nelson is survived by his wife Phyllis and son David. Phyllis and Nelson’s 53 year relationship began in geometry class at Farmingdale High School. He was a loving and generous husband and will be in Phyllis’ heart forever.

A celebration of Nelson’s life will be held on Tuesday, June 27, at 11 a.m. at First Parish Church, 180 York Street, York. Nelson would welcome colorful attire. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to your favorite charity in memory of Nelson.

Robert Matthew Peck, 40

OGUNQUIT – Robert

Matthew Peck, age 40, of Ogunquit, passed away unexpectedly on June 12, 2023.

Robert was born on July 6, 1982 in Waterbury, CT, to Cheryl Cooper and Kenneth Peck, Jr. Although he had struggles, he was often selfless when it came to helping others, he had such a big heart. Robert was a jack-of-all-trades who was very skilled in many areas of craftsmanship. He was an avid NASCAR fan, loved riding his motorcycle, enjoyed fishing and being outdoors. Robert was a kind, loving, caring, passionate, funny, and creative person who will be deeply missed by his family and friends.

Robert is survived by his mother Cheryl Cooper, and her husband Robert; father Kenneth Peck, Jr.; children, Benjamin and Sydney; brother Kenneth Peck III; sisters, Amber Cruz, Amy Cooper, and Amanda Cooper; along with many other family members and friends. He is preceded in death by his grandfathers, Clark Wescott and Kenneth Peck.

Regina Frances Rosseel, 69

YORK – Regina Frances Rosseel, 69, of York, passed Friday, May 26, 2023, peacefully at home, with her son and support of close family members.

She is survived by her son Morgan Rosseel of Boston, MA; sisters, Lorraine Rosseel of Waldoboro, and Cynthia Coner and her husband Robert of Waldoboro; brothers, Patrick Rosseel and his wife Kathryn of Sudbury, MA, Dr. John Rosseel Jr. of Ashfield, MA, and Michael Rosseel and his wife Patricia of Northborough, MA; and several nieces and nephews.

Regina was born on May 19, 1954, in Worcester, MA, daughter of John R. and H. Elizabeth Rosseel (Dee), and lived in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Louisiana, and Maine during her lifetime.

She graduated from Doherty Memorial High School in 1972, and attended the Worcester Art Museum School of Design before beginning a long and successful career as a Loan Officer at a number of regional and national banks, primarily out of Boston. She also owned a successful interior design company.

While her career was impressive, that is not what most people think of when reflecting on Regina and her legacy. Regina was a kind, gentle, and selfless soul. She cultivated a life of passion and beauty, with an artistic ability to capture that passing beauty into permanence. Friends and family loved her hand-painted Christmas cards and crafted art.

Regina served as a role model, showing that anything is possible with patience, a little know-how, and enough passion. She balanced a full-time career, motherhood, and many home improvement projects using mostly hand tools, often mentioning that there is charm in the imperfection.

Her greatest loves were family, an appreciation of the arts, and Coastal Maine. While residing in York, she fulfilled her lifelong dream to live by the ocean which offered a serenity that is often hard to come by in the modern world. Her final years were spent in nature tending to her beautiful gardens, exSee ROSSEEL on page 12

Garden Gaps? Let’s Fill Them! A Summer Bouquet of

Now that the garden is filling in nicely, bare spots can stand out like sore thumbs. Since planting perennials and even annuals can continue through September, it is never too late to fill those gaps.

Back border woes can be comforted with numerous plants. Have a fence or a bare wall drawing attention to itself? Plant some clematis or an annual vine like morning glory to climb gently up the side and along the top. Add some wire or string for it to grab onto to until it is established. Or, lean an old garden rake or hoe against the surface for interest and support. For a bigger area, a climbing shrub vine like hydrangea can latch onto the structure and fill and soften an annoying space with graceful beauty. Trumpet vine will add a bit of nostalgia and attract hummingbirds. A cheerful plant that works well in a sunny back border, that will fill a bare space nicely is tall flowering phlox. “David” is a great disease resistant white variety that will cheer up any garden bed. Phlox also come in an array of purples and pinks. For something more billowy, try perennial helianthus (sunflower). “Lemon Queen” has small dainty daisy-like flowers, sways in the breeze, stays upright and attracts pollinators from August to November. Lemon Queens need a larger area and will spread, so be careful when planting this one. For that shady spot in the back border, fill it with fluffy Aruncus Dioicus (Goat’s Beard). Their foliage ranges from greens to dark purples to almost black and they flower in lovely feathery, creamy plumes. Real head-turners!

Front border blues? Cure them with some carefree annuals like verbena, daisy, marigolds, petunias which all stay relatively low and will add instant and longlasting color to the front border. Look for varieties that require little or no deadheading. A perennial option is low to medium height sedums. They have lovely succulent-like foliage in a variety of glossy shades of greens and reds that can add visual variety and interest. Their delicate blossoms are an added bonus, many which last into the fall and then dry in place to add interest to the bare winter scape. “Autumn Joy” is a classic. Shady spots can be handled with hosta or lower height astilbes. Anemones have different bloom times from spring to fall, and their delicate foliage and sweet blossoms are great for sunny or partly shaded areas.

The mid-garden crisis can be handled easily with cosmos, day lilies, or any plant as long as they suit the space and conditions. Read those tags! It is a good time for some instant gratification by wandering around the garden center. Some plants may even

be on sale! Impulse buys are allowed!

When planting, add a little compost or manure to give the soil a boost and remember to water until the plants are established. If spring bulb foliage is yellowing, it is now OK to cut them down and mix into the soil or the compost pile. If they are still green and blocking the view to other plants, gently fold or braid them and tuck them into the soil. The bulbs receive nutrients from the foliage to ensure reblooming next spring – so don’t cut them down too early.

Be sure to take photos as the garden grows and matures. These can be used as reference for the following year. During those cold winter months they are fun to look back on when anticipating the coming season. Happy summer!

Wells Harbor Park Concert: The Reminisants

YORK -

At the Old York Garden Club (OYGC) 91st Annual Luncheon, forty-five gardeners gathered on Wednesday, June 14 at The Beachmere Inn in Ogunquit to celebrate each other’s accomplishments and a shared love of gardening. With proceeds from its community-supported plant sale, the club presented its annual undergraduate scholarship award to Kaitlyn Lord, a second-year student studying Forestry and Ecology at the University of Maine, Orono. While its core mission is to stimulate the knowledge and love of gardening for those just starting on their journey, the luncheon also acknowledges the

outstanding contributions of its members. This year, Ingrid Forsberg was unanimously elevated to Honorary Member status for her spirit, kindness and horticultural knowledge. A valued contributor to the Annual Plant Sale and civic beautification projects, Ingrid embodies the very best qualities of membership.

A talented home gardener and caretaker of several community beautification gardens, Anneliese O’Grady was presented the club’s President’s Award for her dedication and commitment to creating an atmosphere of cordiality at OYGC’s events. O’Grady is the first to arrive and the last to leave at monthly membership meetings and

annual plant sales.

A day prior, a t the 91st Annual Convention of the Garden Club Federation of Maine held in Southport, Old York Garden Club was the recipient of two state-level awards. The Kathleen Marty Civic Development Award first place was presented to the club for its 2022 projects revitalizing the plantings at the traffic islands at Brave Boat Harbor and Western Point Roads, and the Soldier’s Monument in York Village. The club also received the Helena E. Goff Horticulture Award for providing the most comprehensive horticultural education program for club members at the state level. Dedicated club leaders created an exemplary slate of monthly speakers, workshops, outings, and demonstrations all designed to stimulate the horticultural knowledge of its membership.

but air transport is not the preferred mode, such as for shorter distance transports or due to patient size. Currently, 26% of LifeFlight transports occur in a ground vehicle, with the number of ground transports expected to increase in the years ahead. For the past two decades, LifeFlight has partnered with municipal and private ambulance services to provide ground transport for interhospital emergency critical care transfers.

LifeFlight medical teams and their equipment provide ICU transfers for patients in other services’ ambulances. The new specialized ambulances will help provide interhospital

transfers every day to patients all across the state.

“LifeFlight cares for patients ranging from premature newborns to those on cardiopulmonary bypass. Each our air and ground specialized ambulances is a mobile ICU. These new ambulances will be essential when physicians need to transfer a patient to a major medical center, and when for weather or logistical issues, we cannot safely transfer the patients in our helicopters or airplane,” said LifeFlight of Maine’s Executive Director Tom Judge.

“This is a necessary investment by LifeFlight in EMS infrastructure here in Maine. Our EMS partners have worked tire-

lessly with us for years, but their services are increasingly needed in their own communities, and a LifeFlight transport can take one of their vehicles away for an entire day. The ambulances give our communities greater access to the highest quality care,” said LifeFlight of Maine’s Chief Operating Officer Bill Cyr.

“Since The LifeFlight Foundation was created in 2003, the people of Maine have contributed more than $40 million in support. Because of that support, our fleet is among the best in the country. Our team is capable, courageous, and compassionate. Our onboard medical equipment rivals or surpasses that which is available in many hospitals, and our avia-

tion infrastructure is superb. This investment in ground transport is the next critical inflection point for LifeFlight; we need the people of Maine to get behind this to make it happen,” said The LifeFlight Foundation Executive Director Kate O’Halloran.

LifeFlight of Maine is a nonprofit dedicated to ensuring that every person, in every community in Maine, has access to critical care and medical transport when needed. LifeFlight works with its EMS partners to transform critical care transport into an integrated, high-quality, patient-centered system. Each vehicle in LifeFlight’s fleet, currently five helicopters and an airplane, are fully equipped

as mobile intensive care units, bringing advanced skills, medical technology, pharmacy, blood, and more, directly to the patient. For more information, visit www.lifeflightmaine.org.

Post 74 Supports CommunityStar Island Mail Boat Tours Return for 2023 Season

KENNEBUNK -

Webber Lefebvre Post 74, American Legion, Kennebunk, extends gratitude to everyone who supported the annual Memorial Day Parade on Monday, May 29. The event honored the men and women of all branches of the military services in all wars and conflicts, who sacrificed their lives in support of the democracy of the United States of America.

The local Post provides valuable services to veterans and their families in need, in collaboration with the American Legion, Department of Maine. Additionally, an annual

Rococo Ice Cream Opens New Location

KENNEBUNK -

Just in time for summer, artisanal ice cream company Rococo Ice Cream opened a new flagship scoop shop location in Kennebunk’s Lower Village. The area is home to craft brewery Shipyard Ale, as well as dining destinations Federal Jacks and Kennebunkport Brewing.

Set along the Kennebunk River, the new shop features Rococo-era style influences, and boasts a large outdoor patio space.

“Rococo Ice Cream has always been about being bold,” says Founder Lauren Guptill. “Twelve years ago, I took a chance on some very unusual flavor pairings, and it paid off with an award-winning ice cream brand. We are thoughtful in sourcing local and imported rare, quality ingredients, and take time to develop recipes that

allow our customers to travel to other countries with each scoop of ice cream – no passports required.”

The new location’s 2023 season kicks off with a neighborly collaboration with Shipyard Brewing Company. Rococo turned Shipyard’s Sunfish Ale into a delicate wheat ale ice cream composed of fruity notes, apricot jam, and bites of candied ginger.

Rococo is also opening a first-of-its-kind dessert bar, located adjacent to the new scoop shop. Expected to open in midJuly, the dessert bar is designed to transport people around the world, with Mediterranean tiles, cream and gold ceramic Italianinspired flooring, gold-colored Parisienne-style banquettes, and a bar space designed with a modern spin on Rococo-era design. The menu, available for

KITTERY -

The popular Star Island mail boat run, from Pepperrell Cove in Kittery Point to Star Island at the Isles of Shoals, resumes service for the season starting Monday, June 19. 2023 will be the first full season of service on the company’s brand-new motor vessel, “Shining Star.” This 27-ton, 46foot, 49-passenger vessel was launched in July of 2022. Completed by Jonathan van Campen, Marshall Frye and their team in South Berwick, Shining Star is a Mussel Ridge 46 design by New Castle, NH, native Albert Hutchinson. The vessel is USCG certified with the latest safety equipment, includes restroom facilities and has dock-level access for enhanced accessibility.

The mail boat runs provide a unique, informal, and interesting option to visit Star Island and the Isles of Shoals. The knowledgeable crew can entertain with stories and history, or leave passengers alone to enjoy the 45minute trip to Star Island. Pas -

both dine-in and to-go, features ice cream-focused cocktails and desserts.

“I think of the dessert bar as the bold next step for the evolution of Rococo and the ice cream flavors I’ve created. I can’t wait to enhance them with new flavor pairings,” continues Lauren.

Lauren incorporated some of Maine’s best builders and designers to transform her new spaces. Woodhull Maine designed and built the shop’s new home, and Kennebunkport in-

sengers can enjoy the experience of traveling to the island with freight, food, island employees, and of course, the mail – providing an insider’s view into the comings and goings of island life.

On the way, passengers often see seals, porpoises and the occasional whale, in addition to gannets, loons and a variety of other birds, including bald eagles. The passenger freight often passes close to working fisherman and commercial traffic navigating the Piscataqua River.

Once on the island, visitors have the opportunity for a 45minute walk ashore (morning trips only), for a self-guided tour of the island (take a peek in at the historic stone chapel) while the vessel is unloading and readying

for the return trip.

Regular morning runs started in mid-June and go into September. Morning trips depart Pepperrell Cove at approximately 7:45 a.m., arriving back at Pepperrell Cove before 11 a.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Morning trips are $30 per person, children 12 and under are free.

On Tuesday afternoons there is an extended trip, which includes an afternoon ashore at Star Island and a tour of the grey seal colony on neighboring Duck Island. Tuesday trips are $40 per person, children 12 and under are $20.

All trips are by prior reservation and space is often limited. Departure times are approximate due to vessel loading and deliveries.

Parking is often available at the dock. Additional free public parking is available at the nearby Mitchell School in Kittery Point.

“Shifting Sands” at OMAA

OGUNQUIT -

The Ogunquit Museum of American Art (OMAA) presents

“Shifting Sands: Beaches, Bathers, and Modern Maine Art,” an exhibition that explores the unique place the beach holds in modern art. “Shifting Sands” is now up, and is on view through Sunday, July 16.

The sun-drenched shore was a site of leisure and a refuge as people of all classes sought escape from the modern city, its pollution, and social constraints.

On the beach, people could gaze at the sea and at scantily clad bodies on display in a way not acceptable in ordinary life. Sensual if not sexual, swimmers and suntanning bathers embodied this liberation, this anti-modernity. While the beach continues to have these associations, it is now viewed as a fragile environment subject to a changing climate and human impact. Shifting Sands examines these themes. The show begins with a study of the artists of the Ogunquit art

schools in the early 20th century, then looks beyond Ogunquit to the working-class resorts from Old Orchard Beach to Atlantic City. Finally, the exhibition focuses upon recent Maine artists who are rethinking the beach and looking closely at the ecology of this ever-evolving locale.

Exhibition curator Donna Cassidy said the following about Shifting Sands: “I see Shifting Sands as a study of the beach as an artistic and cultural product, one that is ever-changing, ever-shifting. It exhibits a wide range of representations of the

beach and its meaning in early 20th-century America. Contemporary Maine artists have investigated how the beach, as a natural environment, has been transformed by human intervention and tourist development. For them, the beach is no longer an escape from modern society but is an extension of that society – something that was true even in the early 1900s. Such connections invite us to think about our own assumptions about the beach, its history and representa-

Summer Concert Series at The Puffin & Loon

YORK -

The Puffin & Loon’s Joyce Andersen and Harvey Reid have announced a new series of summer concerts at their music studio in York. After a long hiatus, the duo is excited to return to the stage and share their music with audiences once again.

The Summer Solstice, Wednesday, June 21, marked the beginning of the Puffin & Loon’s summer concert series. Live performances at the space are also live-streamed on YouTube, allowing fans from anywhere to join in the fun. There will be a series of ten Wednesday performances, through August.

The Puffin & Loon Lounge, housed in an historic 1880s-ers carriage house, has been a favorite live venue for music lovers since 2014. Reid and Andersen spend months preparing the space, ensuring that guests have a truly remarkable live experience. The duo is excited to invite everyone back to this cherished musical haven.

During the pandemic, Reid and Andersen resorted to live-streaming performances on YouTube, a platform that brought the music to both dedicated fans and new listeners alike. The outpouring of support and encouragement they received was a true testament to the power of music. As live events resume, Reid and

Andersen are thrilled to merge the energies of in-person and virtual audiences in the intimate setting of the Puffin & Loon Lounge and on YouTube.

Each concert in the series promises to be a unique experience, as Reid and Andersen strive to present a diverse repertoire. On Wednesday, July 12 and Wednesday, August 23, the duo will be joined by Hank & Dixie and the Knotty Pine Boys, adding a touch of classic country music twang to the lineup.

Joyce and Harvey’s oldest son, Otto, recently rekindled his passion for music, and joined the rock band “Free Beer,” with fellow senior classmates. The band celebrated their high school gradua-

tion with a concert at The Puffin & Loon. Reid and Andersen are excited to witness the emergence of young musical talent, including their son’s band, throughout the summer. The duo believe in the power of music, bringing people together and creating a sense of

community.

Tickets for any performance guarantee a seat. The Puffin & Loon Lounge is located at 72 Long Sands Rd., in York. For more information, visit www. woodpecker.com/concert-schedule.html.

“Singin’ In the Rain,” a Splashy 91st Season Opener at the Playhouse

By Nancye Tuttle, Staff Writer

OGUNQUIT -

“Singin’ in the Rain” had every element that movie fans wanted when it splashed onto the silver screen in 1952. Romance, comedy, a snappy score, and overthe-top dancing, including Gene Kelly’s iconic dance solo to the title tune, it had it all, earning the accolade, “The greatest movie musical of all time.”

Jayme McDaniel directs a newly reimagined stage version, based on the short-lived Broadway production from the mid-1980s. The show opens the Ogunquit Playhouse’s 91st season with high-spirited frivolity, energetic tap-dancing, good-natured fervor and a hearty female rivalry

that is fun to watch.

Like the movie, the stage version has it all, with a heaping helping of nostalgia reconnecting audiences to an innocent past, and offering welcome relief from today’s chaotic news cycles.

Set in 1920s Hollywood, “Singin’ in the Rain” spoofs an earlier era when silent films were the rage and the “talkies” loomed on the horizon, threatening to put any studio out of business that did not get with the trend.

Don Lockwood and Lina Lamont are the dream-team costars of Monumental Pictures’ silent films, starring in such flicks as “The Royal Rascal.” The studio has linked them romantically for publicity purposes.

Self-centered Lina likes the link, but Lockwood only has eyes for Kathy Selden, a chorus girl at the studio.

The show’s climactic moment happens when Lina must speak in the studio’s first talkie. Unlike the soothing, pleasing tones the studios coached her to use, Lina’s voice is harsh, high-pitched, and annoying. She also flubs directions to speak into the microphone dozens of times, making on-set angst as the audience roars at the antics.

Kathy saves the day as Lina’s voiceover and gets the guy, too, at the end.

The cast is excellent across the board, exuding energy, enthusiasm and just enough camp to make “Singin’” soar.

Max Clayton as superhoofer Don Lockwood, Christian Probst as his sidekick (pictured above), childhood pal, and equal super-hoofer Cosmo Brown, and Chiara Trentalange as fresh-faced Kathy Selden, are the talented trio leading the stellar cast.

Clayton, an up-and-comer on Broadway who understudied Hugh Jackman in the “Music

Man” revival, is a marvelous Don Lockwood, the role created by Kelly. Be prepared to sing and splash along with him in his First Act dance scene.

Probst is a wonder as Cosmo Brown, performing with Clayton to such tunes as “Fit as a Fiddle” and “Moses Supposes.”

Trentalange is a stellar Kathy Selden, adding vigor to “Lucky Star,” “You Were Meant for Me,” her romantic duet with Lockwood, and “Good Morning,” the peppy tune she warbles with her male co-stars.

Kudos to Kate Loprest, as over-the-top Lina Lamont, a role that is a far cry from her previous Playhouse parts in “Murder on the Orient Express” and “White Christmas.”

The tech team makes the old-time movie segments soar, which even feature Playhouse Executive Artistic Director Brad Kenney in a surprise cameo.

“Singin’ In the Rain” is feel-good musical magic at the Ogunquit Playhouse. The show is a splashy season-opener, not to be missed. On now through July 15. For more information, visit

York Artist Cavaretta at RMFA

ROCHESTER, NH / YORK

The Rochester Museum of Fine Arts (RMFA) has announced that a solo exhibition by local artist Kristy Cavaretta, titled “Milk & Cookies,” is on display at the Carnegie Gallery in Rochester Public Library, 65 South Main St., Rochester, NH, through August 4 with a public reception on Tuesday, June 27, 5-7 p.m. Cavaretta’s prints are about the oftentimes tedious work of feeding a family, explored via mark-making and repetition.

Kristy Cavaretta is an accomplished artist and graphic designer residing on the southern Maine seacoast. With a bachelor’s degree in visual and media arts from Emerson College and a graphic design certificate from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design, her

artistry is fueled by her creative background and experience as a mother of three.

Since relocating to York in 2012, Cavaretta has been working as a freelance designer for numerous nonprofit organizations, including the Ogunquit Museum of American Art and the Old York Historical Society. In 2014, she began exploring the world of printmaking at Chases Garage in York.

Kristy’s preferred mediums include printmaking, woodblock, collagraph, and cyanotype, appreciating the accessibility and speed these mediums provide.

She draws inspiration from the work of Anna Hepler, Meghan Brady, and Cig Harvey.

Her art has been exhibited nationally, including at the George Marshal Store Gallery, 3S Artspace, Katzman

Contemporary, and ArtLink

The Gargoyles Are Back!

WELLS -

In 2019, a gargoyle soared over the Maine Diner like a turkey vulture. Two miles down the road, another one shuffled into Annie’s Book Stop. One broke into the York Historical Society gift shop and stole a book. Two fought in the air above a mausoleum near the Wells Elks Club.

“Readers of ‘The Bookseller’s Daughter’ loved the mix of a great story, unusual characters, and local landmarks,” said Wells author Steve Burt. “For some, the tomb on Sanford Road was something new, as was the historic Bear’s Den graveyard, one of over 200 in Wells alone. Of course, they all knew Mike’s Fish Market and Kennebunk’s Mainely Murders bookstore. Two fans, a lady and her teen grandson, created a checklist of all the places and visited them.”

“Readers have been after me for years for a sequel, so I started August 1 last year and in early June, finished ‘Protect the Queen.’ This time the remnants of the endangered human-like race, the Allagash Gargouilles, pop up in places like Drake’s Island Beach, at Spiller Farms orchard, and at a Springvale (Sanford) farm. As in ‘Bookseller’s Daughter,’ the gargoyles need the help of the bookseller Maryann, her daughter Keegan, and Keegan’s best friend AJ, plus a couple of Wells’ cops. Also new, we have three newborns to protect from a variety of dangers and threats.”

“Protect the Queen” is available Amazon, and is available locally on Friday, June 23.

“I’ll have autographed copies at my book tent at Wells Junior High for the July 8-9 Summer Solstice craft show,” Burt said.

“Test readers love it and say a third book is needed soon!”

Study Reveals New Insight into Long COVID

STATEWIDE -

Initial findings from a study of nearly 10,000 Americans, including those living in Maine, indicate that certain symptoms of long COVID occur together, and that long COVID was more common and severe in study participants infected before the 2021 Omicron variant. The study is funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and has been published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). It was co-authored by Ivette Emery, PhD, a translation scientist at the MaineHealth Institute for Research (MHIR).

These findings come from the NIH’s Researching COVID to Enhance Recovery (RECOVER) initiative, a nationwide effort dedicated to understanding why some people develop long-term symptoms following COVID-19, and, most importantly, how to detect, treat, and prevent long COVID. The goal is to eventually find potential treatments for long COVID. Clinical symptoms can vary and include fatigue, brain fog, dizziness, and can last for months or even years.

“Americans living with long COVID want to understand what is happening with their bodies,” said Adm. Rachel L. Levine, MD, Assistant Secretary for Health for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. “RECOVER, as part of a broader government response... is making great strides toward improving our understanding of long COVID and its associated conditions.”

Researchers examined data from 9,764 adults, including 119 people who participated through MHIR. Of the study participants, 8,646 had COVID-19 and 1,118 did not. They assessed more than 30 symptoms across multiple body areas and organs and applied statistical analyses that identified 12 symptoms that most set apart those with and without long COVID: postexertional malaise, fatigue,

Community Conversation and Watch Party About Climate Change

brain fog, dizziness, gastrointestinal symptoms, heart palpitations, issues with sexual desire or capacity, loss of smell or taste, thirst, chronic cough, chest pain, and abnormal movements.

They then established a scoring system based on patientreported symptoms. By assigning points to each of the 12 symptoms, the team gave each patient a score based on symptom combinations. With these scores in hand, researchers identified a meaningful threshold for identifying participants with long COVID. They also found that certain symptoms occurred together and defined four subgroups or “clusters” with a range of impacts on health.

“We see through this study that long COVID can take many forms and impacts all parts of the body,” said Dr. Emery, co-Investigator for the MaineHealth RECOVER site. “We are incredibly grateful to our study participants, many of whom continue to suffer with few answers, for helping us take this first step toward understanding this condition.”

Based on a subset of 2,231 patients in this analysis who had a first COVID-19 infection on or after Dec. 1, 2021, when the Omicron variant was circulating, about 10% experienced long-term symptoms or long COVID after six months. The researchers found that participants who were unvaccinated, had COVID-19 for the first time before the 2021 Omicron strain, or who had reinfections were more likely to have long COVID and more severe cases of long COVID.

The results are based on a survey of a highly diverse set of patients and are not final. Survey

results will next be compared for accuracy against an array of lab tests and imaging.

“Studying the underlying biological mechanisms of long COVID is central to our being able to identify effective treatment strategies in the future,” said Cliff Rosen, MD, Principal Investigator of the Clinical and Translational Research grant at MHIR and the MaineHealth RECOVER site. “Patients need and deserve interventions that will help them get their lives back.”

The ongoing research serves as the foundation for planned clinical trials, which would contain interventions rooted in many of the symptoms outlined in the study. Trials are expected to begin later this year.

“Researching better ways to provide care is a central piece of MaineHealth’s mission,” said Elizabeth Jacobs, MD, MaineHealth Vice President of Research. “Through RECOVER, our team at MHIR is proud to contribute to the science of long COVID and give Maine people access to clinical trials that may lead to treatments or cures.”

To date, more than 100 million Americans have been infected with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.

As of April, the federal government’s Household Pulse survey estimates that about 6% of those infected with the virus continue to experience and suffer from the many symptoms termed together as long COVID. Patients and researchers have identified more than 200 symptoms associated with long COVID.

BREAKFAST IS BACK!

Ingredients:

Weekly Recipe: Strawberry Rhubarb Pie

until the dough comes together.

2-1/2 cups all-purpose fl our

1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup ice water

2 cups fresh rhubarb, diced

2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

1 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup cornstarch

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

1 tablespoon granulated sugar (for sprinkling)

Instructions:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the fl our, sugar, and salt. Add the cold cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your hands to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add the ice water, a tablespoon at a time, and mix

Divide the dough into two equal portions, shape into discs, and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour.

Preheat the oven to 375°F

In a separate bowl, combine the diced rhubarb, sliced strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Toss until the fruit is evenly coated. Let the mixture sit for about 15 minutes to allow the fruit to release some of its juices.

Roll out one disc of the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Carefully transfer the rolled-out dough to the pie dish, gently pressing it into the bottom and sides.

Pour the strawberry rhubarb filling into the pie crust, distributing evenly.

Roll out the second disc of dough and cut it into strips for a lattice crust. Arrange the strips in a lattice pattern over the filling or use the whole second disc to cover the pie entirely. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges to seal.

Brush the top crust with the beaten egg wash and sprinkle with sugar

for a golden, crispy finish. Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips, and bake for about 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover loosely with aluminum foil. Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and allow to cool for at least two hours before serving. Cooling helps helps the filling to set.

Serve at room temperature or slightly warmed, with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream if desired, and enjoy!

STATEWIDE -

The Genesis Community Loan Fund, a 30-year-old Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI), has secured

$1 Million

a significant funding boost of $1,060,000 from the U.S. Treasury Department. This award marks the largest among 252 CDFIs nationwide and will be pivotal in addressing Maine’s

Wuerthner Receives MEMIC Scholarship

WELLSTwo college students whose parents suffered major injuries at work will be able to continue their educations with help from MEMIC. MEMIC’s Harvey Picker Horizon Scholarship Program recipients for 2023 are Andrew Wuerthner of Wells, and Chloe Ruest of Madawaska.

“Andrew and Chloe have overcome major hardship in their lives with a combination of grit, persistence, and hard work,” MEMIC Group President and CEO Michael P. Bourque said. “And while the circumstances that surround their situations are not ideal, the characteristics they’ve developed will serve them well. We are happy to reward their dedication to their families, their communities, and their own personal educational and career goals with help from our 22nd round of Horizon Scholarships.”

Wuerthner, winner of a $10,000 award, attends the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, MA, where he is poised to graduate in 2024 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology, minoring in neuroscience. Ruest will use her

$7,500 award to enroll at Southern Maine Community College in South Portland, studying early childhood education.

A two-time Horizon Scholarship winner, Wuerthner lost his father to injuries sustained at work when Andrew was only 18 months old, leaving his mother to care for him and his two brothers, “a difficult and daunting task for anyone,” as he wrote in his application. MEMIC awarded Andrew $10,000 in 2020, prior to his COVID -disrupted freshman year at Holy Cross. Despite a lifetime of financial hardship, Wuerthner’s upbringing produced a steely optimism.

“I’ve never considered this a negative point in my life and like to look at it as a chance to strengthen myself through the adversity that occurred as a result,” he said, citing “mental fortitude, fostering happiness and peace, and overall advancement of personal career and relationships” as examples of those strengths. His mentors agreed, writing in letters of support of his 2023 application that “Andrew will make a difference in the world for many people. Simply put, he is an inspiring, compassionate, and positive young man [with a] … certain amount of

verve. When he is at work, he brings an uplifting energy to the entire team and always has a ‘can do’ attitude.”

Wuerthner said he hopes to use his undergraduate degree “to give back to people in terms of providing treatment for individuals who struggle with mental health due to trauma or other circumstances.”

Founded in 2001, MEMIC created the Harvey Picker Horizon Scholarship Program to boost the educational aspirations of dependents and spouses of workers who died or suffered permanent disability due to a work-related injury. MEMIC has awarded more than $259,000 in scholarships since the program’s inception.

The scholarship is named after former Camden resident Harvey Picker, a renowned physicist, educator, philanthropist, and advocate for education. In 1992, Picker was appointed by then Governor. John R. McKernan as a member of the Blue Ribbon Commission on Workers’ Compensation, which led to the formation of MEMIC. Picker also served as a member of the Board of Directors at MEMIC.

ecutive director of the Genesis Fund, emphasized the importance of pooling resources from multiple sources to address the critical need for affordable housing. The organization aims to provide capital and expert assistance to create affordable housing solutions tailored to the diverse needs of Maine’s population.

Out of the awarded amount, $500,000 is specifically designated for projects serving individuals with disabilities. This recognition builds upon the Genesis Fund’s success in delivering financial products and services to people with disabilities, leading to its receipt of the National Disability Finance Coalition’s Trailblazer Award in 2022. The Genesis Fund remains committed to promoting accessibility, diversity, equity, and inclusion in its initiatives.

To maximize the impact of the grant, Genesis plans to leverage the $1,060,000 with an additional $4 million of community investment capital, resulting in $5 million of new funds dedicated to affordable housing initiatives. These funds will

supplement Genesis’ existing $41 million revolving loan pool, which supports high-impact affordable housing and community facility projects. The loan fund is sustained through contributions from impact investors who receive a return on their investment, as well as donations from various individuals, organizations, foundations, banks, and other institutions.

The Genesis Community Loan Fund plays a crucial role in bringing together resources to create housing and economic opportunities for communities facing barriers to prosperity.

Operating throughout Maine and Northern New England, Genesis provides lending capital, expert guidance, promotes systemic change and policy solutions, and facilitates resource allocation to address community needs.

This announcement aligns with the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s commitment to fostering community
