Anna Kristina Sawtelle By Nancye Tuttle, Staff Writer CAPE NEDDICK Anna Kristina Sawtelle lives by the words “service above self.” It’s her life’s purpose, something she aspired to as a child in Sweden, where her parents modeled it for her as she grew up. She follows that philosophy today, and is an active, involved 86-year-old. She helps her community as a docent at the Ogunquit Museum of American Art (for 33 years), through the Rotary Club, and through the International Women’s Club (IWC) of New England, which she founded in 1992. Volu ntee r i ng wa s i m-

portant to her family, she said during an interview in her Cape Neddick home, one filled with artifacts and memories from

“Service Above Self ”

the 13 countries where she and her family lived over the years. “Growing up, my family was always volunteering. We worked with the Girl Scouts and sold everything from raff le tickets to hot dogs,” she said, recalling that her father was mayor of their town for 30 years, and her mother was active in organizations to aid polio survivors, since Sawtelle contracted the disease at age eight. Saw tel le at tended t he police academy and worked as a plainclothes police officer in Sweden. But then she met her late husband, Ross Sawtelle, a geologist with Mobil Oil Com-

pany, on a trip to Paris in her twenties, and her life changed forever. “He showed me around Paris, and he knew that night he was going to marry me,” she said. Their whirlwind courtship led to marriage soon after and three children in four years. Ross Jr., 62, is a career Navy officer and U.S. government employee. Katarina, 60, is an anesthesiologist in mid-coast Maine. And Mikaela, 58, is a career diplomat with the State Department, currently serving in the U.S. Embassy in Uzbekistan. Her husband’s work with Mobil Oil meant that the family lived in countries around the

world – Libya, Nigeria, Egypt, Jordan, Cameroon, Sweden, France, and the United States, in Dallas, TX, and Washington, D.C., among them. And it set Sawtelle on a course to help ex-patriot women in those countries find lasting friendships and a strong purpose in life through the International Women’s Club chapters that she founded. She is a people person, gregarious, sociable, and adept at organizing, so founding the IWC chapters came easily to her. “Living as an ex-pat in a foreign country can be lonely,” she said. “Many See SAWTELLE on page 14 . . .

~ News ~ Sister Cities Seek Solidarity

SOUTH BERWICK A small delegation from Tuskegee, AL, spent last weekend in South Berwick, continuing a relationship between the two communities that began five years ago. The group of four Tuskegee representatives, including the town’s mayor, Tony Haygood, at tended a community supper, kayaked on the Salmon Falls River, and engaged with South Berwick residents in a directed dialogue on race relations. South Berwick town manager Tim Pellerin welcomed the delegation during a community supper attended by about 100 people under a tent behind Central School. The event was hosted by the First Parish Federated and First Baptist churches

Every time we interact with you, it gives us hope, it gives us courage about things for the future.” He continued, “It’s not often that people sit down and talk to each other. When you communicate, you start to understand each other, to interact, to appreciate the other side. Communication is the key to everything, and that is what we have here: open, honest communication.” The next day, a directed dialogue about racial issues facing this country was held and

Throughout the week, the South Berwick Public Library also had a display highlighting Tuskegee and the civil rights movement. “Our relationship with our friends in Tuskegee has grown with each project we do together and each visit made between the communities,” said David McDermott, one of the founders of Common Ground. “People who take the time to get involved are amazed at how much our two communities have in common – shared values, concerns, and interests. At the same time, it is eye-opening how the American experience has been different for each.” T he t wo com mu n it ies became sister cities in 2017, a relationship that began after some citizens of South Berwick tried to address national race issues in their community by inviting a largely African American community to be a sister city as a way to make stronger connections. After researching African American-majority cities, the South Berwick group approached Tuskegee, a city that is about the same size as South Berwick, is 97% African American, and has a strong community identity and a rich history of civil rights landmarks. Both the Tuskegee City Council and the South Berwick Town Council unanimously agreed to form this relationship. Since then,

WELLS For years, except during the pandemic, a rodeo for second-grade and multi-age Wells Elementary School (WES) students has taken place in the school’s gymnasium. It is part of a class unit studying the history of the famed Oregon Trail and the pioneers who traveled its 2,000 miles westward from 1840 to 1860. However, this year’s roundup was a scaled-down version with fewer students and no audience. Nevertheless, a local fiddler, Keith Fletcher, was there as he has been for over two decades contributing to the music of these hoedowns. On a day in mid-May, students once again filed into the gymnasium dressed in colorful Western clothing including cowboy shirts, hats, and neckerchiefs. For roughly half an hour,

they danced to familiar square dance melodies, including a portion of Aaron Copland’s ballet “Rodeo.” Then they all sat down in a half-circle to listen to Fletcher play portions of a few other tunes, including “Happy Acre Two-Step,” “Floppy Eared Mule,” and Bach’s Solo Violin Sonata No. 1. In between tunes, he spoke about music and the string instruments he brought with him: a violin and a large, deep-sounding viola. “For twenty-one years, I’ve worked with our wonderful Wells teachers, Karen Taylor (music teacher) and Kathy Calo (PE teacher), and their ‘Rodeo’ program,” noted Fletcher on a recent Facebook post. “Both

Karen and Kathy are retiring this year, so the string ends. But a generation of Wells and Ogunquit kids got to play and dance to fiddle music and learn about the Western Migration, and Aaron Copland.” The above-mentioned unit of study involves the school’s CORE teachers who, together, provide an educational blend of music, physical education, art, library work, and explorations of the settling of the American West. “What a wonderful cross-discipline program those teachers put together, and I am so glad to have been a part of it,” added Fletcher.

But follow [the trio] into those hills, and you’ll find yourself taking unexpected turns and discovering vistas you never knew were out there. It’s a new brand of acoustic music they make: traditional instrumentation spinning ear-catching melodies, channeling the wit and spontaneity of three irrepressible musical storytellers.” For more information about the Kittery Arts Festival and other anniversary celebration events, visit the Kittery 375th website at www.kittery375th. com.

n-miss one-lunger engines from different companies like Stover, Hercules, International Harvester (McCormick Deering), John Deere (Waterloo Engine Works), Maytag, and Fairbanks Morse will also be featured. The event includes tractor parades, tractor pulling, and large-engine demonstrations throughout the day, as well as events for kids, including caricature drawing, barrel tractor rides, and kids pedal tractor pull. Crafters and assorted vendors will also be displaying their wares, and live music will be provided by SaxxRoxx. Collectors from across the country attend the event each year, bringing an assortment

of antique farm machinery for visitors to see. “You will see just about every kind of equipment that was used for farming,” stated Tom Raitt, current president of the RHFM. “We never know what will show up, but that’s what makes the show interesting.” With a dedicated group of volunteers and sponsors who help keep this show going, RHRM hopes to encourage more people and families to come and marvel at these important inventions and how they relate to farm life and beyond. The museum is located at 2077 State Road in Eliot. Gates will open at 8 a.m. both days. For a full schedule, visit www. raittfarmmuseum.org or email info@raittfarmmuseum.org or call 207-332-5444.

Come on in!

Hackmatack is Smokin’! BERWICK For its 50th anniversary season, Hackmatack Playhouse will present the musical “Smoke on the Mountain” by Connie Ray and Alan Bailey. Set in a tight-knit 1938 rural Tennessee community, the show features a small cast and lots of Americana music. “This is a really good show for our venue,” said Michael Guptill, executive producer. “It has a country feel to it and is a genuine down-home bluegrass show.” The script revolves around the Sanders family, a band of traveling bluegrass musicians who work in a world where, as Guptill puts it, “people trade bible verses as insults.” The family makes a stop for a Saturday night gospel concert at a church in the Tennessee hills during which “hearts are opened, motives revealed, and many laughs are shared.” Jeff Seabaugh, a veteran director at Hackmatack, was motivated to direct this show in part because of his own roots in the South. “I spent a lot of my life in the South. I know these characters well, and the music is so uplifting and exciting,” said Seabaugh, who grew up in Arkansas and went to school in Memphis. For the last five years, he has taught theater at the Urban Institute of Mathematics in New York

City. Before that, he taught at a junior high school in the Bronx and has worked with theater students in the greater New York area. When Seabaugh first came to Hackmatack in 1987, he felt an immediate connection to the down-to-earth community and the rural landscape, including the farm’s large fields of livestock, which now consist of bison, chickens, and rare species of pigs and goats. To celebrate the 50th anniversary, many veterans of the stage are returning to star as members of the musically talented Sanders family, who will be playing their instruments live from the stage. Emily Zentis of Nashua, NH, will woo the audience by simultaneously acting and playing the piano on stage, while also serving as the production’s music director. She will be joined by her husband, Jacob Zentis, in addition to other local favorites, such as Billy Butler and Linette Miles. “Smoke on the Mountain” will run July 29 through August 20, with shows Thursdays through Saturdays at 8 p.m., and matinees at 2 p.m. on Thursdays. There will also be a special 2 p.m. matinee on Wednesday, August 3. Information and tickets are available by calling 207-698-1807 or at www.hackmatack.org.

Health & Fitness Good Grilling! Summer is synonymous with many things, including family vacations and relaxing days at the beach. For foodies, perhaps nothing evokes the spirit of summer more effectively than grilled foods. Grilling is a beloved tradition, but it’s not necessarily the healthiest way to eat. Traditional backyard barbecue fare, like hot dogs and hamburgers, likely won’t make physicians’ hearts flutter; but there are ways to enjoy the flavor of grilling without compromising a nutritious diet. Replace burgers and hot dogs with healthy proteins. The occasional hamburger or hot dog won’t do much damage, but people who regularly grill should skip these summertime staples and replace them with healthy proteins. The American Heart Association (AHA) reports that fish and skinless chicken breasts are healthy alternatives to hamburgers and hot dogs. Burger devotees can still enjoy their go-to grilled food, but replace ground beef with lean ground poultry, which contains less saturated fat than red meat. Avoid overdoing it. Most people have overindulged at a backyard barbecue at one point or another. The relaxed, party-like atmosphere of the backyard barbecue makes it easy to snack on chips and other unhealthy fare before moving on to burgers and hot dogs. Hosts can do guests a favor by replacing snacks and sides like chips and potato salad with healthier fare like celery, fruit salad, or chickpea salad. Keep portions of grilled fare as close to a healthy size as possible. The AHA notes that a healthy portion of meat is around three ounces and no more than six ounces. Create a salt-free rub. There’s no denying salt makes food more flavorful. But that flavor comes at a high cost. The health care experts Piedmont note that excessive amounts of salt can contribute to inflammation from f luid retention and increase a person’s risk for hypertension, or high blood pressure. Salt may be a go-to for many grilling enthusiasts, but it doesn’t have to be. A salt-free rub made with chili powder, garlic powder, paprika, and/or other spices is an effective way

Have a Safe Sunny Season

to add flavor to meat, chicken, and fish. Grill more vegetables. Grilled vegetables, whether they’re part of kebabs or simply grilled alongside the main course, add significant flavor and provide all the health benefits of veggies cooked in more traditional ways. The AHA notes that coating vegetables in a healthy oil, like olive oil, makes it easy to grill them directly over an open flame without sticking. Cooking in this way imparts that signature smoky, grilled flavor to vegetables. This summer, grilling can be as healthy as it is flavorful. All it takes is a few simple strategies to make the menu at your next backyard barbecue one any doctor would love. The Weekly Sentinel does not endorse any products or services suggested by third-party sources.

As the days grow long and the weather warms, people likely spending more time outdoors. Whether taking a brisk walk around the neighborhood or competing in a triathlon, keep these five sunny season tips in mind: Replenish fluids: It’s easy to become dehydrated while active. Replenish the body’s fluids by drinking plenty of water and healthy beverages and by consuming water-rich foods, like fresh fruits and vegetables. Because sweat contains electrolytes, people should also add foods that contain sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium to their diets. Protect skin: Sun exposure can contribute to the production of free radicals. More free radicals in the body means more damage can accumulate over time, and this DNA damage can cause gene mutations that can

lead to skin cancer. This is why a multi-layered approach to skin protection is vital. Protec t feet: Wea r i ng properly-fitting, sports-specific footwear can help avoid overuse injuries such as plantar fasciitis and tendonitis. Over time and mileage, athletic shoes lose their ability to absorb shock and will need to be replaced to help keep the muscles and joints in feet and ankles protected. Headed for a swim? Always wear pool shoes or flip flops in the locker room to prevent athlete’s foot and skin infections. Protect vision: UV light is harmful to eye health and can put people at greater risk for a number of conditions that impact vision. Wearing sunglasses with UV protection is a good idea. A hat with a brim or cap with a visor can offer eyes additional shade with the bonus of protecting the scalp and face too. At the pool,

keep chlorine and other disinfecting chemicals out of the eyes by always using goggles. Some pairs even offer UV protection. Ward off bugs: There’s nothing more calming than connecting with nature; that is, until biting and stinging bugs find their way to the skin. When See SUNNY on page 28 . . .

Health & Fitness Virtual Seminar on Human Trafﬁcking

BIDDEFORD Carey Nason, the executive director of St. André Home, will host a free virtual event titled “Beauty Remains: The Truth on Trafficking” on Wednesday, July 27, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., to help participants better understand human trafficking and exploitation, what is happening around us, how to identify victims, and what they can do to prevent trafficking. The program will include a prescreened question-and-answer period. Human trafficking is at an all-time high and is found in every state in the U.S. “Hundreds of Maine girls and women, as young as 14 years old, are trafficked for commercial sex each year. Traffickers are known to exploit vulnerabilities and target teens who

have run away, or people who are trying to make a better life for themselves but simply don’t have everything they need,” said Carey. “By raising awareness of the crime of human trafficking, erasing that stigma that victims often experience, and by reaching out to the survivors of trafficking, we can help survivors move forward in their lives, heal, and rebuild life on their own terms.” CourageLIVES is the flagship program of St. André Home, a Catholic nonprofit based in Bangor. It provides support and services for people impacted by human trafficking and exploitation. Based in the Biddeford area, but serving over 125 women across Maine, CourageLIVES offers food, clothing, shelter, and counseling for residents; a safe house for women survivors; and

an outreach program. The program serves women and families in many Maine counties including York, Penobscot, Cumberland, Aroostook, and Franklin. “We all have a part to play in this. We can no longer pretend this is an overseas issue,” said Carey. “We can’t pretend that our children are not in one way or another impacted by this atrocity. It is time to get serious about trafficking and rise to the occasion of doing our part.” For more i n for mation about the program or event, visit www.couragelivesme.org, or call 207-282-3351.

Childhood obesity poses a serious threat to the longterm health of kids across the globe. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 39 million children under the age of five were overweight or obese in 2020. That means that tens of millions of kids across the globe are facing a serious and potentially chronic health problem before they even begin kindergarten. The data pertaining to childhood obesity is undoubtedly alarming, but the good news is that obesity is preventable. Parents can provide nutritious foods for children and help them establish healthy eating habits at an early age, which could lay the foundation for a lifelong commitment to eating right. One of the issues parents may encounter when planning kids’ diets is foods that seem healthy but are actually hidden sources of sugar. That’s a big problem, as Johns Hopkins Medicine notes that excess sugar consumption is associated with an elevated risk for cardiovascular disease. Sugar consumption has long been linked to obesity, which is one reason why the WHO recommended in 2015 that individuals get less than 10% of their daily calories from sugar. On the surface, it may seem simple for parents to heed that warning. However, various foods and beverages, including ones kids typically love, are hidden sources of sugar. Identifying those foods and avoiding them or choosing versions that are not high in sugar can help kids maintain healthy weights. Ce re a l s: Pa re nt s m ay fondly recall overindulging in cereals with popular cartoon mascots on the box as kids. No matter how much nostalgia such memories may generate, parents must resist the temptation to recreate them for their own children. That’s because

many popular cereals marketed to children are loaded with sugar. However, even seemingly healthy cereals could be also be high in sugar. Read nutrition labels before buying cereal for kids. Johns Hopkins Medicine recommends choosing cereals with 10 to 12 grams or less of sugar per serving. Beverages: Sugar-laden beverages like sodas, certain juices, and even some f lavored waters increase kids’ risk of being overweight or obese. Encourage youngsters to drink more water and only serve sugary beverages on special occasions. Packaged fruits: Here’s another food that appears healthy on the surface but c o u ld b e a ny t h i n g b u t . WebMD notes that a one-cup serving of mandarin oranges in light syrup contains right around 39 grams of sugar. Offer fresh fruit in lieu of packaged fruits. Sauces: Many kids look forward to nights when pasta is the main course at the dinner table. But even parents who serve whole grain pastas could be unknowingly serving up a sizable amount of sugar if they aren’t careful about which sauce they buy at the store. Some pasta sauces contain as much as 12 grams of sugar per half-cup serving. Barbecue sauces also tend to be high in sugar, which underscores the importance of reading labels before serving up saucy meals. Childhood obesity is preventable, especially when parents learn to identify hidden sources of sugar that could be putting kids’ healthy in jeopardy.

Health & Fitness Top Tips for Fuel Safety Whether camping, boating, or doing yard work, many summertime activities need fuel. During the month of July, which is Fuel Safety Month, advocates are reminding everyone to stay safe while pumping and using fuel. “Gas prices are high and you may be cutting back, but you’ll still be using gas, diesel, and kerosene, and accidents can still happen,” said Dan Marshall, vice president of marketing and business development for Scepter, a manufacturer of fuel containers. “It’s important to follow basic fuel safety practices, at the pump, at home, and on weekend adventures.” To help people stay safe around fuel, Scepter offers some basic tips: Never use gas to start grills or a bonfire, kill pests, or as a cleaning agent. Never smoke near a fuel container or place it near an open flame, even if it’s empty. Gas fumes are invisible and are still potentially dangerous. One spark can cause gasoline vapors to ignite. Also, keep children and pets away from fuel pumps, fuel containers, and running equipment. Use the right container (e.g., red for gasoline, blue for kerosene, yellow for diesel), and do not remove or alter the Flame Mitigation Device (FMD) inside the opening of the fuel container in any way. Inspect fuel containers for leaks and cracks before each fill-up. If there are any signs of aging, carefully dispose of the container and purchase a new one with essential safety features. Place fuel containers on

the ground during filling to avoid sparks from static electricity and spills inside the vehicle, and only fill containers to the “fill line” to allow for expansion with changing temperatures. Before pouring from a fuel can that has expanded in the summer heat, point the can away and vent by activating the release button while upright. Modern containers are designed to remain sealed to protect the environment from emissions and keep fuel fresh longer. Wipe up any spills immediately. When filling up equipment, do it outside to avoid breathing in fumes. Also, never fill an engine that is running or still hot from recent use. Store fuel containers in a dry, well-ventilated place, outside the living space of your home and away from furnaces, water heaters, direct sunlight, and other sources of heat. “We want everyone to have a safe summer, and that starts with raising awareness of best safety practices around fuel,” says Marshall. “Taking the time to brush up on these precautions can help keep people, pets, and property safe.” Story provided by StatePoint.

FINANCE & CAREER Tavares and Fazzina Win Scholarships

OGUNQUIT The Ogunquit Chamber of Commerce (OCC) is pleased to announce the recipients of this year’s Ogunquit Chamber scholarship winners at Wells-Ogunquit High School (WOHS). Each recipient will receive $1000 to help pay for college tuition. Ava Tavares was an honor roll recipient, book and academic award recipient, and student athlete throughout her four years in high school. She also served on the Student Council and the Rotary Interact Club throughout her time, reading books to elementary school students, helping at fundraisers, and volunteering at community holiday activities. Her work experience in

Ogunquit includes four years as a barista at The Backyard. At the time she submitted her scholarship application, Ava was planning to attend Bentley University, with a potential double major in marketing and political science. Brayden Fazzina was also an honor roll recipient for most of his high school years and a student athlete all four years. He served on Student Council and the Rotary Interact Club during the latter part of his high school career. His volunteer activities centered on his knowledge of and experience in sports, including helping at youth football and Little League, and assisting with baseball clinics. He worked throughout high school at Perkins Cove Candies. Fazzina will

be attending Florida Gulf Coast University this fall, majoring in business. The winners were selected based on a variety of criteria, with the highest points scored for their creative answer to this year’s chamber essay topic, “Please provide ten reasons to support local businesses, and explain

how you would communicate this message to Ogunquit area residents and guests/tourists.” Other criteria included connection to the Ogunquit community, extracurricular and community service activities, and academic achievement. “We congratulate Ava and Brayden for working so hard on

Treat Employees as Assets, Not Expenses Any number of factors can cause businesses to struggle. A lack of working capital. Poor planning. Ineffective management. But one factor that always affects business performance is employee engagement and the degree to which employees feel valued by their company, says Bill Lyons, the ForbesBooks author of We Are HR: The Business Owner’s Definitive Guide to Professional Employer Organizations. “Instead of seeing employees as an expense,” Lyons says, “businesses need to view

them as assets that help improve the bottom line.” In his work, Lyons says he has learned that there are four pillars of profitability that are critical to business success, and all four in some way impact employees. Those pillars are: Payroll. Employees expect the correct amount of money to arrive in their bank accounts on time, and they want their information easily accessible online, Lyons says. That sounds basic, but businesses sometimes fail to make payroll, or they commit errors when deducting for things like taxes and benefits withhold-

ings. “An employee’s paycheck is what enables them to meet life’s responsibilities,” he says, “so payroll errors and omissions are not things that can be tolerated.” Employee benefits. If businesses don’t offer such benefits as health insurance or a retirement plan, the better employees will look elsewhere, Lyons says. But smaller businesses usually are at a disadvantage when compared to larger competitors. For example, in 2018 about 85 percent of workers at businesses with 100 or more employees were offered a retirement plan. In contrast, just 53 percent of workers at businesses with fewer than 100 employees had such plans, according to a Department of Labor report. The report said cost and regulatory complexities are factors discouraging small businesses from offering retirement plans. Risk management. Many small businesses have a certain level of risk baked into their business models, Lyons says. “They may rely on heavy equipment, vehicles, machinery or other factors that can potentially threaten the safety of the workplace,” he

says. “The question is: How effective is your risk management program?” Often small businesses that have a clear exposure to employee injuries do not have any formalized risk management program in place. “It’s important to prioritize and clearly communicate this risk management program so employees know the company views their safety as paramount,” Lyons says. HR compliance. A myriad of employment laws and regulations have been passed through the years, and businesses need to make sure they are in compliance, Lyons says. “The workplace is a melting pot of liability for employers,” he says. “Are your hiring practices lawful? What about your compensation plan, is it discriminatory? What about terminations, do you have all the bases covered? How do you determine when an employee deserves a promotion or a raise?” It’s important to have an updated employee handbook that addresses all these issues, along with current job descriptions that are compliant. This makes things clearer, Lyons says, for both management and

so many fronts during their high school years, and wish them well in their future academic endeavors,” commented Alice Pearce, executive director of the OCC. “We’re also grateful to Joe DeLois and his team at The Admiral’s Inn and The Colonial Inn. It was Joe’s vision in 2013 that established the Ogunquit Chamber scholarship program. Following the renovation of The Colonial Inn that year, Joe hosted a grand opening party, with all proceeds donated to the chamber to start a scholarship program. Joe continued that tradition for the following five years, and those funds have enabled us to continue to support area high school students in their pursuit of higher education.”

employees, who like to know where they stand. “To t r u ly d r ive e mployee performance,” Lyons says, “you also need to drive employee engagement – the emotional commitment that each individual team member has to their organization and its goals. Healthy employee engagement means a person truly cares about their work and their company. It’s up to owners and managers to create an environment where everyone is allowed and encouraged to consistently produce their best work.” T he Week ly Sentinel does not endorse any products or services suggested by thirdparty sources.

Say Yes to 401(k) Matches Employer-sponsored 401(k) plans are great ways to save for retirement, potentially paving the way to worry-free golden years. Such plans are even more attractive when employers offer to “match” contributions. Employers that offer to match employee contributions typically will do so up to a given percentage. For example, some companies may match up to 2%. That means that employees who contribute at least 2% of their paychecks to an employer-sponsored 401(k) plan will receive an additional 2% from their employers. For those who contribute See MATCH on page 21 . . .

FINANCE & CAREER Behind on Your Mortgage? PHOENIX Although the pandemic has impacted the financial lives of millions, one of its largest effects has been on individuals’ housing situations. Since the onset of the pandemic, Americans have missed a combined $83.9 billion in mortgage payments, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association, creating undue stress and anxiety about their futures. “Even as governments across the country begin to lift lingering pandemic restrictions, the effects on housing instability remain a critical issue for millions of homeowners,” said Michael Sullivan, a personal financial consultant with Take Charge America, a nonprofit credit and housing counseling agency. “If you’ve fallen behind on your mortgage – or soon will – there are several steps you should take to protect yourself and improve the chances of staying in your home.” If you’re behind on your housing payments or struggling, Sullivan suggests the following actions: Contact your lender. Don’t

wait to call your lender until you have missed a payment. Be up front and honest about your situation, asking about potential programs or options they may have available, such as mortgage forbearance or loan modification. The sooner you contact your lender, the more options you’ll likely have available. Research housing assistance programs. Nonprofits and government agencies at both national and local levels support individuals struggling with mortgage payments. Homeowners can check out the Fannie Mae website to find information and possible resources for assistance. Consider a refinance. Exploring a refinance on your mortgage could potentially make your payment more affordable either through a lower interest rate or extending the timeline to pay off your balance. Seek legal help. Depending on the severity of your situation, you may want to find legal assistance to act on your behalf with your lender and negotiate any potential agreement to resolve the issue. Get it in writing. Document

Local Towns Receive Funds to Combat Climate Change STATEWIDE On July 19, Governor Janet Mills announced that 13 communities in Maine will receive a total of nearly $20 million in grants through the Maine Jobs and Recovery Plan for municipal investments to protect vital infrastructure from effects of climate change. As stated by the governor’s office, “The Maine Jobs & Recovery Plan is the governor’s plan, approved by the legislature,

Properly documenting everything will help you if a dispute arises. Seek nonprofit housing counseling. If your situation is overwhelming, nonprofit housing counseling agencies, like Take Charge America, can provide you with one-on-one guidance and tailored resources to help you determine the best path forward.

to invest nearly $1 billion in federal American Rescue Plan funds to improve the lives of Maine people and families, help businesses, create good-paying jobs, and build an economy poised for future prosperity.” The grants were awarded by the Maine Department of Transportation through the Maine Infrastructure Adaptation Fund. The fund, first announced in December 2021, was a recommendation of the state’s climate action plan, “Maine Won’t Wait,” to support community efforts to build climate resilience in Maine.

Among the 13 communities that received funds were Berwick, which received $1.425 million; Kennebunkport, which received $2.585 million; and Ogunquit, which received $2.85 million. Recipients will use the funds for projects to address flooding along ocean and riverfronts, protect stormwater and wastewater systems, install culverts to reduce f looding, and ensure energy availability during extreme storms. For more information, visit www.maine.gov/jobsplan.

. . . MATCH from page 20 2%, that match will double their contributions to 4% at no cost to the employee. Despite the benefits of accepting employers’ offers to match, recent data from the retirement planning specialists at Financial Engines indicates that many employees are not taking advantage of these offers when given the chance. A recent survey from Financial Engines found that $24 billion in 401(k) matches goes unclaimed ever year, with the typical employee missing out

on more than $1,300 in matches annually. Over time, money left on the matching table could deny retirees tens of thousands of dollars, if not more. Accepting an employer’s offer to match is essentially accepting free money, making it something all investors should do if given the chance. The Weekly Sentinel does not endorse any products or services suggested by third-party sources.

We believe kids deserve a solid foundation. Which is why the building blocks are so important. At Kennebunk Savings, you can bank on something greater. Like how we make giving to the community our first priority. In fact, each year we set giving goals that focus on supporting the people and places that make our communities thrive. From there, we make it our mission to achieve those goals. Because when it comes to things like early childhood education, the more we contribute, the more we get back.

FUNERAL HOME

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

missing – that the funeral was depressing. The funeral meets the bereaved’s need for support. Death throws people into despair and depression by separating them from one who has provided love, companionship, and security. The funeral and customs provide the means by which those close to them can give their support and share their suffering. The funeral period provides for the expression of sorrow. Only through talking about the past can the bereaved person realize the extent of the relationship with the deceased, and accept the loss and suffering. Only through weeping and talking to good listeners can they release their grief and feelings of guilt and hostility. Experts in grief therapy believe that it can be expressed best through rites, rituals, and ceremonies. The ceremony deals primarily with intellectual concepts and doesn’t fully engage the

125 Old Post Rd., Kittery, ME 207-439-4900 www.jspelkeyfuneralhome.com

There are three points to be stressed, finally, in connection with the tradition of funeral flowers. First, the role of flowers are both symbolic and aesthetic. They add great value to the richness and meaning of the ritual. Second, flowers represent sympathy extended to the bereaved. Third, flowers are sent to both the living and the dead. They are sent to the living as comfort and as tokens of respect for the deceased. We, at the JS Pelkey & Son and the Bernier Funeral Homes, hold the value of the work our local florists do in very high regard. We always encourage the families we serve to contact a local florist directly. Certainly there are national floral outlets that can be reached with a simple Google search but, honestly, the quality of these products are often substandard.

. . . MORSE from page 22 hours collecting baseball cards with the boys. His passion for gardening resulted in bountiful vegetable gardens, beautiful flower gardens at home, and a second career working in many of the beautiful local gardens in southern Maine. The many years spent vacationing with his family in York brought him and Lorraine to the area for retirement 30 years ago. The coastal rocks were the perfect setting for hours of fishing and catching many stripers. Richard was also well known for his storytelling and humor, amusing both family and friends with his famous one-liners. Richard is predeceased by his two brothers, William and Robert. He is survived by his wife, Lorraine, brother, Edward, two sisters, Phyllis and Joan, and his three sons, their spouses, and families: Daniel and Gail of York, ME; Brian and Heidi, of Charlton, MA; and Jeffrey and Maureen, of Hopkinton, MA.

He has seven grandchildren: Stefanie, Emily, Jack, Peter, Katherine, Brandon, and Brielle. Richard is also survived by his sister-in-law Patricia Morse, sister-in-law Janine Mailhiot and her husband Roger, and several nieces and nephews. Services will be held on Tuesday, July 26, with an 11 a.m. Funeral Mass at St. Mary’s Church in Wells, followed by a military burial at Ocean View Cemetery, also in Wells. A Celebration of Life gathering will follow the burial. Please contact a family member for details. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Historical Society of Wells and Ogunquit, PO Box 801, Wells, ME 04090 to support their educational programs, honoring Richard’s education career and his Littlefield lineage. To share a memory or leave a message of condolence, visit Richard’s Book of Memories Page at www.bibberfuneral.com. Arrangements are in the care of Bibber Memorial Chapel, 111 Chapel Road, Wells.

Francis Edwin Redfern, 88 WELLS – Francis Edwin Redfern, of Wells, passed away July 8, 2022. He was born May 15, 1934, in Enfield, CT, to Edwin and Theresa (Frisino) Redfern. Francis graduated from Waltham (MA) High School. He married his high school sweetheart, Barbara DeVany, on January 23, 1952, and they remained happily married until her passing in 2010. Francis worked as an engineer for Raytheon for 41 years until his retirement. Francis made friends very

easily. He was very personable, and people gravitated to him. He was a great believer in education. He was a loving husband, father, and grandfather. He enjoyed traveling, spending summers in Wells and winters in Marathon, FL. He also enjoyed spending his time reading short stories and watching football. He was a consistent annual donor to the American Red Cross for over forty years. Francis was preceded in death by: his parents, Edwin and Theresa Redfern; wife of 60 years, Barbara Redfern; and brother, Thomas Redfern. He is lovingly survived by: his son Mark Redfern and his wife, Karen, of Wilmington, MA; daughter Kathy Bradley and her husband, Brad, of Methuen, MA; daughter Susan Trearchis and her husband, Jamie, of Tyngsboro, MA; son Gary Redfern and his wife, Annmarie, of Burlington, MA; eight grandchildren Jenessa, Zachary, Nicole, Allison, Garrett, Blake, Erin, and Casey; five great-grandchildren Madison, Danica, Jack, Calli, and Olivia; and nieces and

nephews Pam, Eileen, Karen, John, and Jeff. A private family service will be held at a later date. To share a memory or leave a message of condolence, visit Francis’ Book of Memories Page at www.bibberfuneral.com. Arrangements are in the care of Bibber Memorial Chapel, 111 Chapel Road, Wells.

or vintage are so welcome. (Reminder: please refrain from donating books until after labor day.) Last week, we also asked for a mini fridge for our volunteers to enjoy cold beverages in our receiving garage and, sure enough, a very generous couple delivered one to us just in time for the hot week ahead of us. Starting July 25, our shop will be open seven days a week during the busy season. It is only

because of our hard-working, f lexible volunteers that we are able to do this. We’re open now every day, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

~ Pets ~ Safe Haven Humane Society WELLS Macy is a darling female kitty in excellent health who has 12 years of experience in being sweet and affectionate. This lovely black-and-white short-hair kitty, who sports a bobtail that she was born with, is happiest when you are petting her and spending time with her. She has lived in two homes before coming to Safe Haven, so we want her next one to be her forever home. Despite her insecure past, Macy shows no grudges or bad attitude. She’s simply a happy and grateful kitty whom we hope will find a family that will give her the permanency and love she deserves for the rest of her life. Kitties can live over 20 years, so she will no doubt have many more youthful and vigorous years ahead of her. She likes other kitties, she’s fine around loving children, and would cherish having a family that makes a fuss over her. Fill

out your application online at www.safehavenhumanesociety. org or call 207-646-1611 for more information. We are happy to report that all the kitties at Safe Haven, including Pumpkin, Parmesan, and Tuesday, are doing well. We’re receiving lots of kittens and pregnant kitties lately, plus strays and unwanted kitties due to people moving and being unable to take them. We love each one that comes to us, and we promise each of them that they’ll have a wonderful life, thanks to every one of you out there who supports us and our no-kill mission.

Emma’s Angels Rescue

NORTH BERWICK Meet our pets of the week. Sandi is the most loving kitty. He is a two-year-old “Southern gentleman” who has come from an overcrowded shelter in Louisiana. Neutered and up to date on his shots, he loves other cats and people, and would do well in most any situation. We also have a handsome boy named Cooper. He is a threeyear-old, 50-pound, neutered catahoula mix who is looking for a fun home. Cooper should be the only pet in the family, though he does well passing by dogs on the trails. If you would

like to add a new friend to your family, call Emma’s Angels Rescue 207-676-5599. Emma’s Angels Rescue is an all-volunteer organization based in North Berwick. Donations can be left in our drop box at 30 Meeting House Road. Needed at this time is dry dog food. We feed Blue Buffalo chicken and brown rice.

nature as they walk the trail. “Miss Maple’s Seeds” is a picture book that introduces the nature-loving character Miss Maple. ACT wrote, “Illustrated with luminous paintings that feature beautiful landscapes, lush foliage, and charming detail, this tender story celebrates the potential found in each seed. Even the grandest tree and most brilliant flower grows from the smallest of seeds into the magnificent plants they are destined to become. This is a terrific educational activity . . .

It begins at the ACT Community Trailhead, in back of the Arundel Municipal Building parking lot at 257 Limerick Road. The trust is grateful for the support of Kennebunk High School (KHS) graduating senior Sophie Dumas, who installed the book pages along the trail as part of her senior project.

Phyllis was born in Waterville, on July 8, 1942, to Ivan Fletcher and Vella (Bernard) Boulette. She met the love of her life, Leon, at the roller-skating rink in Winslow, when she was 20 years old. From there, Phyllis helped manage Happy Wheels in Newington, NH, with Leon for over 40 years, where many knew her as a permanent fixture at the window. It brought her joy to be able to share the rink with her children and grandchildren. Phyllis was the heart of the family and brought everyone together. Her family affectionately nicknamed her “The Hub” because she was the one everyone went to in any circumstance. She was a devout Jehovah’s Witness for many years and was loved by her community. She will be sorely missed by all. Phyllis is survived by her husband of 59 years, Leon Shaw; son, Leon Shaw Jr. (wife, Lori); daughters Michele Beaulieu (husband, William) and Stacey Robertson (husband, Jeramy); grandchildren Jeremy Barrows (wife, Amanda), Danielle Britton-Barrows (partner, Dakota), Maryssa Patterson (partner, Kyle Hall), Justin Robertson (fiancée, Ashley Ganley), Jordan Shaw (fiancée, Kathryn Emery), Chelsey Shaw, and Zachary Shaw; great-grandchildren Hunter Clough, Holly Clough, Tucker Dunton, and “Sprout” Britton-Barrows; and several nieces, nephews, and cousins. She also leaves behind her loyal dog, Diego. She is predeceased by her parents, Ivan and Vella, and her sister, Marlene (Fletcher) Durgin. A memorial service will be held Saturday, July 23, at 2 p.m. at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Dover, NH, at 77 Long Hill Road. For those unable to attend, call Stacey 603512-3919, Michele 253-432-3038, or Lee 603-833-7207, for the link to attend virtually.

. . . WIFFLE from page 17 sponsors, and the KennebunkArundel-Kennebunkport 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.” This year, the tournament will take place on Saturday, July 30, and will feature 34 teams in three competitive divisions, each playing to win the coveted Tommy Mac Wiffle Ball Championship Cups. The weekend begins with a welcome party on Friday night, July 29. The first tournament pitch flies at 8 a.m. the next morning, followed by a full day of friendly – but fierce – competition. The event concludes with a 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. As of July 18, sponsors include the Portland Sea Dogs and Dannah for Men, Pack Maynard Real Estate, Bennett’s Sandwiches, the Pilot House, Renewals by Andersen, Ryan’s

Corner House, Hurricane Restaurant, Batson River Brewing and Distilling, Harrison Development, Kitchen Chicks, Hillcrest Driving Range, Coffee Roasters of the Kennebunks, Green Tangerine, Kennebunkport Marina, Sea Your Happy Place, Paket Corporation, and Randome Services LLC. The Wiff le Ball Tournament is the signature fundraiser, though, and sponsors are still needed to reach this year’s goal. “We have to raise money to give it away,” said Sue Rioux, a board member and family friend of the McNamaras. “TMCF is a very, 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.” For information, visit www. tommymacfoundation.com.

YORK The York Under-10 Little League All-Star Team completed a stretch of 15 games in 14 days last weekend with an appearance in the District 4 championship, along with a 3-1 showing at Maine’s “Little Fenway” and “Little Wrigley.” York, which had just nine players throughout the District 4 tournament, won five straight games in the double-elimination tourney. The boys defeated Kennebunk 10-2, Wells/Ogunquit 15-1, Massabesic 9-3, and Saco/Dayton 9-2 to earn their place in the championship. In the title games, York squared off against Biddeford, the same team that defeated York 9-0 to open the District 4 tournament. In the rematch on Friday, July 15, York rallied from a pair of two-run deficits to earn a 7-5 victory. In the winner-take-all rubber match the next morning, York’s run came to an end with an 11-6 loss. Immediately following that defeat, York traveled to Waterville to play four roundrobin games at Maine’s Fenway Park and Purnell Wrigley Field. The 11-member squad went 3-1 at the event, highlighted by two wins on Sunday, July 17, at Little Fenway to conclude its

Highlights include Vincent Fernandes’s ten-strikeout gem against Massabesic on Sunday, July 10; Graham Gabree’s ninestrikeout win versus defending champion Saco on Tuesday, July 12; Soma Mimura-Elkevizth’s 4-for-4 showing at the plate against Saco; James Cole’s win in relief against Biddeford in the first championship game; and Nate Rosen’s airtight defense at shortstop throughout the tour-

Joining the team for its appearance at Little Fenway and Little Wrigley were Evan Blais and Stefan Duchesne. Coaching the team were Seth Cole, Mark Rosen, and Brian Elkevizth. A special thanks to the parents, family members, and other supporters for all their sacrifices during this incredible stretch of baseball. Article by Seth Cole.
