125th Anniversary

St. Peter’s by the Sea By Nancye Tuttle, Staff Writer CAPE NEDDICK – St. Peter’s by the Sea Episcopal Church is a special place for many people, among them the Rev. Dr. Stuart Dunnan. He feels like he is coming home each summer when he worships at the lovely stone church overlooking the Atlantic Ocean on Shore Road. It is a beautiful edifice, surrounded by well-tended grounds, that has welcomed local parishioners and visiting vacationers each summer and early fall since 1897. “I grew up here, since my family always summered in Cape Neddick. So, when I participate in wor-

ship here, I feel like I am coming home,” said Dunnan, 63, president of St. Peter’s board of trustees and the headmaster of St.

service, the church’s annual fundraiser brunch will be held on the lawn and inside the refurbished rectory overlooking the Atlantic. Dunnan cites several reasons that St. Peter’s is special. “The church’s statement of faith is very strong. It is in a community where people come to vacation, but they can attend to their souls here,” he said. It is welcoming to all, he added, attesting to the Episcopalian principle of being open and accepting to everyone. And, he noted, “The St. Peter’s community is strong. Parishioners pitch in, volunteering to do many things, and they genuinely enjoy each other’s

YORK COUNTY Since 1984, National Night Out has been held across the country as an event through which citizens can connect with their local law enforcement agencies. According to the organization’s website, “National Night Out enhances the relationship between neighbors and law enforcement while bringing back a true sense of community. Furthermore, it provides a great opportunity to bring police and neighbors together under positive circumstances.” This year’s night out takes place on Tuesday,

company.” To honor Christ in all people is a vow Episcopalians make from their baptisms and throughout their lives. St. Peter’s is living proof of that commitment, he said. St. Peter’s was built in 1897 from a bequest by Nannie Dunlap Conarroe, widow of George Connarroe. It was built on Christian Hill in Cape Neddick so that the cross on its steeple would be visible to sailors at sea. George C. Burns designed the church, and Edward Blaisdell of York built it.

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

~ News ~ Wild Weekend with Blueberries

Food and Fireworks on Wood Island

KITTERY POINT On August 6, the Wood Island Life Saving Station Association (WILSSA), the charity that is restoring the historic station at the entrance to the Piscataqua River, will host a professional fireworks show beginning at 9 p.m. It will also be a venue for gathering food donations for local pantries. The theme of the event is “Helping Others Through Fireworks,” and is in celebration of both Kittery’s 375th anniversary and the August 4, 1790, founding of the U.S. Coastguard. The fireworks will be shot from a barge in the river south of Fishing Island and will be visible from Great Island Common, which will be open to the public that night. Fort McClary will also be open to the public that night. Parking will be available at both venues, as well at the Mitchell School in Kittery Point;

but the association strongly recommends carpooling to avoid parking congestion. WILSSA is requesting that all spectators bring non-perishable food and personal care items with them to donate to Gather (Portsmouth, NH) and Footprints (Kittery/Eliot) food pantries. The pantries will have volunteers standing at the entrances of the parks ready to accept the donations. The Kittery Community Center will also be accepting donations. Among the most needed items are condiments, baking items, soap, personal care products, laundry detergent, and olive/vegetable oil. The association also asks spectators not to bring alcoholic beverages or personal fireworks to the event. Built in 1908, the original purpose of the Wood Island Station was to help mariners in distress. See ISLAND on page 3 . . .

STATEWIDE The weekend of August 6 and 7 has as been officially declared Maine’s second annual Wild Blueberry Weekend by the governor’s office. According to Belinda Donovan, of Ethos Marketing, “It’s like Maine Maple Sunday but for wild blueberries!” In 2021, wild blueberry growers opened their doors for free for the first time during Wild Blueberry Weekend and had fresh wild blueberries, jams, pies, and other products available for guests to purchase. The Wild Blueberry Commission of Maine reported that there were thousands of dollars in direct farm sales and thousands of visitors who enjoyed touring the places where wild blueberries grow. According to the USDA, Maine harvested 105 million pounds of wild blueberries in that year. This year, Wild Blueberry Weekend will feature farm tours and other family-friendly activities at 14 wild blueberry farms located across the state, giving visitors a chance to learn firsthand the history, processes, and

WELLS The Wells Select Board is pleased to announce Mike Pardue as their unanimous choice for Wells’s next town manager. The board will be approving a three-year contract with Pardue at their meeting on Tuesday, August 2. After receiving and reviewing applications for the manager’s position, the board felt that Pardue, who had recently announced his retirement from Kennebunk, had many of the qualities and experience Wells was seeking. Subsequently, meetings with Pardue and the select board were set up by Don Garrish, of Eaton Peabody Consulting Group, to discuss the position. Select board chair John MacLeod III said, “Mike has an extensive and diverse background that allows him to have vast experience and great insight into almost every facet of municipal government.

~ News ~ . . . ANNIVERSARY from page 1 signed and built the stained-glass windows. Nannie Conarroe also gave a bequest to build a library in Ogunquit, and its design is similar to that of St. Peter’s. A house, originally named Bonnie Brae but now known as the Marmion House, was built adjacent to the church in 1900, and has served as the rectory since 1908. The church was incorporated in 1927. On July 1, 1999, it was added to the National Registry of Historic Places. A memorial garden was opened adjacent to the church in 2007 for the burial of cremains in a tranquil garden setting. Jean Husby oversees the gardens and their maintenance. Like summer chapels in other resort communities in Maine overseen by the Episcopal Church, St. Peter’s begins services on Memorial Day weekend and continues through the end of October to accommodate fall visitors. The summer clergy leading worship each week includes the Rev. W. Patrick Gahan III, in June; the Rev. Todd FitzGerald, in July; and the Rt. Rev. Gary R. Lillibridge, Bishop (Ret.), in August through October. Dunnan presides over the board of trustees, the church’s governing body. Others on the board include Louesa Gillespie, vice president; David Mallen, treasurer; Hon. M. Hannah

Leavitt, secretary/clerk; Rt. Rev. Gary R. Lillibridge (Bishop Ret.); Michael L. Smyser IV; Fotene Cote; Barry Kean; Joe Leonhard; Glenn Farrell; Richard Morgan; Karl Sanford; and John Seager. In addition to Sunday worship services, weddings, baptisms, and concerts, serving the community is an important part of St. Peter’s mission. The church raises $15,000 each year to aid three charities in York County: the Recovery Center of York Hospital, The Hope Fund, administered by York County Community Action, and Seeds of Hope in Biddeford. All are welcome to worship at St. Peter’s by the Sea, 535 Shore Road, Cape Neddick. Masses are at 8 and 10 a.m., with a social hour in the adjacent rectory following the 10 a.m. mass. Call 207-361-2030 or visit www. st-peters-by-the-sea.org for info. . . . ISLAND from page 2 According to the WILSSA “the fact that the charity restoring the building is working to help other charities is a logical connection” in keeping with its slogan “Helping Others, Then and Now.” For more information see the video at www.youtu.be/jxjylw4hvo4 or visit www.woodislandlifesaving.org.

T he mu s e u m w r ite s, “Raised amidst Connecticut’s sterile suburbs, Michael Sjostedt spent his childhood steeped in the pop culture of the ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s, finding in them both salvation and estrangement. That dichotomy forms the basis of his art, as he considers how he simultaneously fits and does not fit into the media of his youth – then and now.” Since 2011, Sjostedt has explored what he calls renegade subcultures from the mid century to the 1980s, with collage as his preferred medium. “Each piece works to uncover the internal rules and modalities that create community within subcultures,” the museum says, “but also wall it off from those outside its perimeters and parameters. As Sjostedt winds his way through the visual codes inherent to his subject matter, he’s guided by the question, ‘Where am I in all this?’”

Sjostedt first discovered the power of collage while assembling a mood board for an unrealized painting project. Ten years later, he has crafted more than a dozen collage series, including “Slam,” an inquiry into wrestling culture, and “Alteration,” a consideration of self-expression through fashion. He says his work “challenges the perception of collage as a gateway medium, merging the intentionality of curation with the unexpected reveals of an aleatory composition process.” Sjostedt both celebrates and deconstructs the worlds of fashion, surf, wrestling, and motorhead culture. His work has been displayed in galleries and shows throughout New England, where he lives, works, and reads pulp fiction. The Maine Classic Car Museum opened its doors in 2019 and exhibits 50 classic cars each season with an array of vin-

tage automobilia and cultural curiosities. The museum offers a rope-less and station-less experience for guests, allowing them to get up close and personal with the collection’s cars. Group tours are available for senior centers, schools, and community groups. Individuals can also book a special docent-led, private VIP tour. The museum is also dedicated to community outreach through a student internship program in which high school students can earn course credit with projects in automotive maintenance, restoration, history, design, and digital media.

~ Ask The Compuer Pro ~ From the (Digital) Archives Dear Computer Pro, I bought a new laptop last summer, and it came with Windows 10. For the past few weeks, Windows has been nagging me to upgrade to the new Windows 11. I feel like I am just getting used to Windows 10. Should I upgrade? If I decide I do want to upgrade, will I be charged anything? Thank you, Elisa Dear Elisa, My initial reaction to your question is, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!” If you are currently happy with everything about your laptop running on Windows 10 and you have not seen anything new in Windows 11 that you feel you need, my advice would be to hold off. Windows 10 will be supported through October 14, 2025, so you will continue to get patches and security updates until then. If you do decide to upgrade to Windows 11, it will not cost you anything besides your time. The amount of time you will spend upgrading varies based on the speed of both the computer and your internet service (the upgrade is approximately 5GB). If post-upgrade you decide you do not like Windows 11, you have ten days to revert to Windows 10. After the ten days, you lose the ability to roll back and must either stick with Windows 11 or start fresh with a new installation of Windows 10. Good luck! Matt Dear Computer Pro, I have two younger kids (ages 6 and 8) that now have tablets, thanks to Santa Claus. What is the best way to keep them safe from some of the gar-

bage out there on the Internet? Thanks, Lisa Dear Lisa, This is the most common question I get from concerned parents of younger children. There are many, many parental control tools available and, depending on the child(ren) and the situation, you can use one or more of them to keep the kids safe. The one that I am most familiar with and have recommended to dozens of parents is Disney Circle. It is quite easy to install and configure, comes with presets that will likely work for you right out of the box, and will provide you with a lot of insight into how your kids are spending time on the Internet. Once installed, you do all the management from your cell phone. In a nutshell, you create a profile for each person in your home and then add their devices to their profile. You can then go into each profile and choose how you want to restrict that user, if at all. You can access all the settings from home or anywhere you have internet access. If you have devices that you do not want to restrict, you can either have a generic profile with no restrictions, or you can simply tell Circle not to manage that device. We did the latter, and it worked out great for us. Disney Circle can be purchased with either a one-year subscription or a lifetime subscription. Good luck! Matt Dear Computer Pro, The Wi-Fi at my house is horrible! I have c$%p cable for internet and TV. What can I do to make it better? Thanks, Tommy Dear Tommy, This one is a loaded question as there are many variables here that need to be discussed.

There are two pieces to your internet service provider (ISP) puzzle that we need to differentiate: the actual broadband service and the equipment. In my experience, most of the problems people have with internet service is not with the service itself but rather the equipment being used to deliver that service. ISPs typically provide a cable modem and Wi-Fi router combo that connects to the standard coax cable that is in the home or business. Much like the cable box that connects to your TV to deliver television, this cable modem/router is what provides your home with internet access. Unfortunately, I’ve yet to see any of the cable modem/router combos that the cable companies provide do a decent job of providing reliable service for any amount of time. For this reason, I recommend folks buy their own cable modem without the built-in router and then buy a Wi-Fi router separately. Most cable modems will work with the larger cable companies, but you need to make sure you purchase one that is compatible with the services level (speed) from your ISP for which you are paying. For example, the Netgear CM500 is approved for Spectrum plans up to 400 Mbps, while Xfinity only supports it to their 200-Mbps plan. If you currently have a faster subscription,

or if you are thinking of bumping up to a faster subscription soon, I recommend going with the Motorola MB7621. This modem is supported by Xfinity up to their 800-Mbps tier. If you currently have or are thinking about going to Gigabit+ speeds, I highly recommend either the Motorola MB8611 or the ARRIS Surf board S33, as they support speeds up to 2.5 Gbps. Once you have decided on which cable modem best fits your environment, you need to decide on a Wi-Fi router. There are dozens of manufacturers and hundreds, if not thousands, of models to choose from. Personally, I have been incredibly happy with the performance, stability, and ease of use of Google Wi-Fi Mesh Wi-Fi System. They can be purchased as a single-pack that covers up to 1,500 square feet, or a three-pack that covers up to

4,500 square feet. Installation is very straightforward and simple for even for non-technical folks. There are many other options out there, too, that may be an even better fit for your environment. If you have a large area that you are trying to cover, you are going to want to find a Wi-Fi mesh system. And stay away from repeaters or signal boosters that promise to get you better coverage; I will not say they are quite snake oil, but they are as close as you can get. Good luck and thank you for writing in! Matt I nterested i n lea r n i ng more? Matt Gallant is owner of Oasis IT in South Berwick.

Health & Fitness The Best Medicine

Most people have heard the adage that “laughter is the best medicine.” There are many indications that laughter can be beneficial to the mind and body, and that the perks of laughter and humor are far-reaching. Various professionals have studied the clinical benefits of laughter, including Dr. Lee Berk and Dr. Stanley Tan at Loma Linda University in California. Here is what these experts say in regard to

the benefits of a few good belly laughs. Boosts the immune system A 2016 study titled “The Laughter Prescription” and published in the American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine found that the amount of laughter a person experiences is related to the immune system’s ability to fight off infections, among other benefits. The study references additional research that indicated spontaneous (not forced) laughter boosts the immune system by

increasing natural killer (NK) cell activity. Levels were measured after participants watched a one-hour humorous video. NK cells are lymphocytes with a unique ability to kill a broad spectrum of cancerous and virus-infected cells, according to the National Institutes of Health. Laughing out loud improves immune system function and increases heart rate and oxygen levels. Lowers blood pressure Individuals who laugh often have lower blood pressure than those who laugh less often. Lower blood pressure reduces the risk for stroke and heart attack. Helps heal the brain Laughing can help reverse symptoms of grief or depression by increasing the pleasure-enhancing neurochemicals in the brain, according to the Dr. Sears Wellness Institute. A good laugh also may help people recovering from chronic illnesses by helping to alleviate fear and anxiety that could otherwise preoccupy the mind. Suppresses stress hormones Drs. Berk and Tan found that the stress hormones epinephrine and cortisol decrease following laughter. Laughter may help people feel less stressed

and overwhelmed. Provides a small body workout Hearty laughter can exercise the diaphragm, contract the abdominals, and even work the shoulders and muscles in the face. Laughter also gets the heart pumping at a rate that burns a similar amount of calories per hour as walking slowly. Provides natural pain relief Research suggests that laughter decreases inflammation

Getting Clarity on Cleanses Dietary trends come and go. A trend that’s popular today could be gone tomorrow, leaving both advocates and adversaries in its wake. Dietary cleanses, sometimes referred to as “detoxes,” have emerged in recent years. Cleanses are purported to help individuals rid their body of toxins while also helping them to lose weight. People are urged to speak with their physicians prior to beginning a new dietary regimen, including cleanses. Those curious about cleanses also can learn more about them prior to speaking with their physicians. What do cleanses entail? The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) notes that cleanses and detox diets may include one or any number of these approaches: fasting, drinking only juices or eating only certain foods, supplementation, using herbs, and using a sauna Juice cleanses are one example of a cleanse or detox diet that has piqued the curiosity of many individuals in recent years. Juice cleanses differ, but many involve consuming only fruit or vegetable juices and water. Individuals engaged in juice cleanses may stick to that regimen for days or even weeks. What does the science say about cleanses? The NCCIH indicates a need for more substantive research before the efficacy of cleanses and detox diets can be confirmed. The center notes that, thus far, studies have been too small or too low-quality for scientists to say with certainty that cleanses and detox diets are safe and effective. People considering cleanses also should know that various companies selling cleansing and detox products have been

accused by the Federal Trade Commission of making false claims about their products and/or producing products with potentially harmful ingredients. Such actions underscore how important it is that people discuss cleanses and detox diets with their physicians prior to beginning any new dietary regimen. When speaking to a doctor about a cleanse or detox diet, people should be as specific as possible, noting which products they are considering. Doctors can examine the products to determine any risks associated with them. For example, the NCCIH notes that juices made from high-oxalate foods such as spinach and beets could increase risk for kidney disease if consumed in significant quantities. Doctors also may note that some cleanses and detox diets that limit calories may produce short-term weight loss, but that any pounds shed may only be regained when people return to their normal diets once the cleanse ends. People considering dietary cleanses or other detox diets should discuss them with a physician prior to beginning a regimen. Doctors may recommend more proven dietary strategies that can help their patients get healthier and stay that way over the long haul.

Health & Fitness Monitoring Mold Homes are safe havens and relaxing spaces for their residents. No one wants to imagine the place they call home putting their health in jeopardy, but that’s precisely the case for people who live in homes where mold is present. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) notes that molds are not usually a problem indoors. However, when they are, molds produce allergens, i r r ita nts, a nd potent ia l ly toxic substances. Molds can become problematic when spores land on wet or damp surfaces and begin g rowing. If inhaled, those spores can cause allergic reactions in people with asthma who have mold allergies. Even people without such allergies may suffer from irritated eyes, skin, nose, throat, or lungs due to exposure to mold. Mold also can affect the home itself. The EPA notes that mold gradually destroys the things it grows on, potentially leading to costly remediation and renovation expenses. Mold is sometimes visible in parts of a home. For example, mold problems in a bathroom may be recognizable when tiny black spots are present on surfaces that frequently get wet. Those areas may gradually expand from small spots and cover larger areas, such as windowsills and areas around the bathtub. Other signs indicating the presence of mold may be less recognizable though potentially just as harmful. That’s one reason why it makes sense for everyone to learn how to spot mold in a home. Learn what mold looks like. Not all molds are black. Some are white and look like thread, but they also can have a gray-brown or graygreen tint. When peeling old wallpaper, some people may notice orange, pink, or purple growth on the newly exposed walls, and that’s likely mold. Identify problems with paint. If paint is peeling, bubbling or cracking, it’s likely indicative of a mold issue. In such instances, contact a mold remediation specialist rather than simply painting over the affected areas with a fresh coat of paint. Conduct a smell test. Most molds will emit a damp,

Here Comes the Sun

musty odor. However, a lack of this distinct and unpleasant smell should not lead individuals to conclude they don’t have a mold issue, as some molds do not produce an odor. In addition, the EPA notes that the smell of indoor molds can differ depending on the type of mold present in the home. Homeowners who have experienced mold issues in the past should not ignore a foul odor simply because it smells different from a previous infestation. They should contact a mold remediation professional if they suspect an unpleasant smell could be a byproduct of mold. Mold can be harmful to homes and humans. Anyone who suspects their home has a mold problem is urged to contact a remediation specialist as soon as possible.

The sun makes life on Earth possible. While the warmth and light provided are beneficial for many reasons, the dark side of the sun is the potential damage that can be caused by ultraviolet radiation. These facts about sunlight and UV rays, courtesy of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the FactFile, and NASA, can help people make more informed choices about spending time in the sun. There are three types of Ultra Violet (UV) rays. UVA reaches Earth’s surface because the atmosphere does little to shield these rays. UVA rays contribute to ailments like wrinkling and can penetrate through windows and clouds. UVB rays largely are thwarted by the atmosphere. However, latitude, altitude, and time of year may increase the likelihood of UVB ray exposure, which is often the

culprit behind skin cancer. UVC rays are completely absorbed by the Earth’s atmosphere and don’t pose a significant threat, even though they have the highest energy levels of all three types of UV rays. The sun’s UV rays are strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when the sun is at its highest in the sky. The ultraviolet radiation will be less severe early in the morning and later in the day. Snow, water, and sand reflect the damaging rays from the sun and can increase a person’s risk for sunburn. The higher up in altitude a person goes, the stronger the sun’s rays become. Therefore, sun exposure in the mountains can be more dangerous than exposure at sea level. Areas closest to the equator will get the longest hours of sunlight. The sun’s rays are much

stronger near the equator. Aust ralia ran k s near the top of the skin cancer risk list along with New Zealand. These countries are located close to the ozone layer hole See SUN on page 16 . . .

Fair Skin and Cancer The skin is the largest organ on the body. As with other areas of the body, skin is susceptible to cancer. The National Cancer Institute says there are many different types of skin cancer, and that it can appear differently depending on the type and the person. Any changes in skin should be brought to the attention of a doctor immediately. The sooner treatment begins, the better the prognosis typically is. Individuals also should be aware of what constitutes having a heightened risk for skin cancer. In most cases, that can include the type of skin one has. The Skin Cancer Foundation indicates that skin type is a major factor in risk for skin cancer, including the deadly melanoma. While people with any shade of skin can get skin cancer, those who have fair skin tones are even more at risk for sunburn, sun damage, and skin cancer. . . . SUN from page 15 over the Antarctic. In addition, during summer, the Earth’s orbit places Australia closer to the sun compared to other countries. That results in an additional solar UV intensity, according to Specialist Clinics of Australia. UVA rays penetrate more deeply into the skin and can cause it to prematurely age. UVB rays damage the outermost layers of the skin and contribute to the most skin cancers. Overexposure to UVB rays causes delayed sunburns. While the sun is more intense during spring and summer, sun glare may be a bigger problem in the fall and winter. During the colder months, the sun takes a lower angled route when rising, rather than seemingly going straight up, which it does in the summer. That keeps the sun in a blinding position for a longer period of time in the fall and winter. The sun’s energy is produced by the fusion of hydrogen into helium. Nuclear reactions occur in the core of the sun due to temperature and pressure. The sun also emits infrared radiation, visible light, and ultraviolet light. These facts about sunlight and UV rays can help people make more informed choices about spending time in the sun.

In 1975, Harvard Medical School physician Thomas Fitzpatrick created a scientific classification system for skin type, identifying six types of skin. The Fitzpatrick Skin Type chart goes from very light to very dark. Skin types I and II face the highest risk of developing skin cancer, while types V and VI are at the lowest risk. That’s because fair skin doesn’t have as much pigmentation and natural melanin protection from the sun. In addition to pigmentation, skin type also is calculated by how skin reacts to sun exposure. This means whether one easily burns or easily tans. Fair skin tends to burn easily and tan lightly or not at all. Even though fair-skinned individuals are at greater for skin cancer, anyone can get the disease. Everyone should use a broad-spectrum daily sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher to protect against harmful rays. In addition, wearing sun-protective clothing and avoiding exposure between the peak hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. is essential. I ndiv idua ls concer ned about skin cancer risk or unusual changes to their skin should speak with their dermatologist.

Word Games Work Word games continue to be popular pastimes and provide a great opportunity to engage in lighthearted competition among family and friends. Wordle is perhaps the most popular word game to become popular in recent years. Created by software engineer and former Reddit employee Josh Wardle and launched in October 2021, Wordle was devised as a way to pass the time during the pandemic lockdown. Today it is played by millions of people and was even purchased by the New York Times Company in 2022. For those who are looking for something even newer, Knotwords, a word game created by Zach Gage and Jack Schlesinger, is available on iOS, Android, and Steam. It’s a mix of a word scramble, crossword puzzle, and sudoku. There are scores of other word games for people to try. In addition to their entertainment value, these games may provide some benefits that surprise even the most devoted wordsmiths. Build your vocabulary. Word games enrich vocabulary and may introduce people to new words. They also may help reinforce spelling skills. Improve focus. Nowadays people are pulled in many directions and are expected to multitask more than ever. Word games, in large part, require focusing exclusively on the task at hand and employing strategy. Stimulate the brain. Word

games require critical thinking skills that could stimulate the brain. They train the brain in a way that’s similar to how physical activity trains the body. Improve memory. According to WebMD, word games may help seniors avoid memory loss and possibly delay the onset of

dementia. But seniors are not the only ones to benefit. Word games may improve short-term memory and the cognitive abilities of people of all ages. Boosts feel-good substances. When a person is happy, the body releases endorphins, which are feel-good hormones and neurotransmitters. Healthline indicates an “endorphin rush” often occurs after engaging in a fun activity. Endorphins are released by the hypothalamus and pituitary gland. Playing word games may release endorphins, which can improve mood, boost self-esteem and reduce pain and discomfort.

Sidney M. Hall Jr., 88 NORT H BERW IC K Sidney M. Hall Jr., of North Berwick, passed away peacefully at his home Tuesday, July 26, 2022. Sid was born in Rochester, NH, on July 18, 1934, the son of Sidney M. and Clara (Hanscom) Hall. He graduated Dover High School in 1951 at the age of 16. Over the years, Sid had a full gamut of jobs. In 1954, he started at Prime Tanning in Berwick for a few years, then to Great Falls Bleachery in Somersworth as a steam engineer for the next eleven. He was at Simplex in North Berwick for a few years until working for Hall Broth-

ers Roofing in 1972. In 1984, Sid ventured into starting his own roofing company, Sid Hall Roofing. Sid moved out of North Berwick to Wells in 1965 after purchasing the Linger Longer cottage on Webhannet Drive, a summer rental, and built a new home on the marsh side of the property. Sid owned and rented several beach properties on Wells Beach. In 1971, he moved to a historic home on Sanford Road and started an antique business in the barn. He later moved to a property on Route 1 and owned the Whiffletree Antique Store. He loved a good antiquing day, searching for wares for the store. He especially loved finding and collecting carnival glass. During this time, he took on his next adventure of being the captain of his own lobster boat, the Johanne II. Sid loved his time at sea, taking friends on lobstering trips through the years. The curious thing about Sid is that he caught lobsters for over 50 years and never ate one – he hates lobster. In more recent years, after he moved back to North Berwick, he was famously known around town as the “San-

ford & Son guy” who recycled and salvaged metals for anyone who needed it. Sid was also a local icon at Town Pizza, where he and his buddies would gather to solve the day’s problems. In his younger years, he enjoyed traveling to the Grand Caymans, Hawaii, and his home in Nova Scotia. In his spare time, Sid loved cutting fire wood, trying his luck at the casinos, and a good fire works show. Sid also enjoyed attending services at Bethel Christian Church. Anyone who had the privilege of knowing Sid, in whatever context, knows he was a wonderful, funny, generous, and kind man, with his Maine dry humor and a work ethic like no other. His stories will live on for generations to come. Sid will certainly be missed by many. Sid was pre-deceased by his first wife, Phyllis (Libby) Hall, and their baby in 1958; his second wife, Johanne (Moulen) Hall, in 1978; and his third wife, Rita Lorraine (Littlefield) Hall, in1991. Surviving are his son Stanley (Susan) Hall, of North Berwick; daughter Sue Ann (Roy) Taylor, of Canton, GA; son Bradburn Billings, of Bar-

Bernier-Gelinas FUNERAL HOME

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

rington, NH; daughters Laurie Billings and Tanya (Michael) Gosselin, both of North Berwick; brother Dana Hall, of Berwick; six grandchildren: Michael, Katharine, and Jessica Taylor, Teresa Bennett, Shane Billings, and Sidney Gosselin; and eight great-grandchildren: Ethan, Alex and Parker Taylor, Hallam Cooper Taylor, Lionel Cooper Taylor, Avery, Alexis, and Ada Bennett. The family would like to thank Melanie Taylor for her friendship and dedication in caring for Sid. A time of visitation will be held Saturday, July 30, 10 to 11 a.m., immediately followed by a funeral at 11a.m. at the Bethel Christian Church, 129 Lower Main Street, North Berwick. Interment in Hillside Cemetery, North Berwick. Friends who wish may contribute to the R. Lorraine Hall Memorial Scholarship Fund, payable to Edward Jones, 20 Edward Ave, Suite 4, Biddeford, ME 04005. Arrangements are entrusted to the Johnson Funeral Home, North Berwick. Memories and condolences may be shared at www. johnsonfuneralhomeme.com.

bereaved’s feelings in the patterns of community support which are psychologically beneficial. Flowers, however, express the inexpressible – they are symbolic.

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

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

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

Sheila was born in Hulls Cove, ME, on February 25, 1925, the daughter of Elwyn Boyd Tracy and Alice M. (Cunningham) Tracy. Sheila graduated Wells High School then continued on to earn her master’s degree. In 1945, she married Arthur Tufts. She worked for the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard for 12 years before teaching English at Massabesic High School, retiring in 1994 after 21 years of dedicated service. Sheila was a member of the Wells Congregational Church, where she sang in the choir for many years. She was a member of the Order of the Eastern Star, Madonna Chapter, and the Wells High School Alumni Association. Sheila was an avid hunter but mostly loved spending time with her family, especially at Great East Lake. She was pre-deceased by her husband, Arthur; daughter, Alice; and son Hazen; as well as three siblings. Surviving are her two sons, Marcus (and Vicki) Tufts, and David (and Karen) Tufts, all of Wells; and their families, including ten grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. A time of visitation will be held Thursday, July 28, from 10 to 11 a.m. at the Johnson Funeral Home, 26 Market Street, North Berwick, ME, immediately followed by a funeral at 11 a.m. Interment to follow in Pine Hill Cemetery, Wells. In lieu of f lowers, please make a donation to the charity of your choice. Condolences may be expressed at www.johnsonfuneralhomeme.com.

FINANCE & CAREER Beware Driveway Scams Forgivable Loans for Small Businesses STATEWIDE The new Thrive Maine program, administered by the Finance Authority of Maine (FAME), will offer forgivable loans to eligible Maine small businesses who experienced losses, increased costs, or market interruptions as a result of the pandemic. Small businesses may apply for loans of up to $2 million. If they are approved and continue to meet program terms, loans may be fully forgiven over a four-year period. The support form Thrive Maine is in addition to the $62 million Grow Maine initiative announced earlier this week by Governer Mills, representing a total $120 million investment this month by the administration to help small businesses succeed. To date, the gover-

nor’s jobs plan has made more than $288 million in financial assistance available to Maine small businesses. Thrive Maine and Grow Maine are part of the Maine Jobs & Recovery Plan, the governor’s plan, approved by the legislature, 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.” It draws on recommendations from the governor’s Economic Recovery Committee and the state’s ten-year economic development strategy. Full eligibility details and other information can be found at www.famemaine.com/thrive. The program is expected to start accepting applications in early September.

Rising Interest Rates Affect Housing Sales STATEWIDE The housing market in Maine is beginning to feel the effects of rising interest rates. Sales of single-family existing homes declined 9.83% last month, according to Maine Listings. The statewide median sales price (MSP) hit $360,825 in June 2022, an increase of 16.4% compared to June 2021. The MSP indicates that half of the homes were sold for more and half sold for less. “Discussions with realtors across Maine indicate that some are experiencing a ‘pause’ in their market areas,” says Madeleine Hill, 2022 president of the Maine Association of REALTORS® and designated broker at Roxanne York Real Estate in Harpswell. “We are beginning to see homes staying on the market for weeks instead of days, price adjustments, and fewer buyers competing for new for-sale listings as rising mortgage interest rates have cooled some segments of buyer demand.” Statewide, the for-sale inventory of single-family properties remains historically low with 1.8 months of supply available for sale. A six-month supply is considered a balanced market. Nationally, sales eased 12.8% when comparing June 2022 to June

2021. The National Association of Realtors reported a national MSP of $423,300 for June, an increase of 13.3%. Sales in the regional Northeast decreased 11.8%, while the regional MSP of $453,300 represents a rise of 10.1% when comparing June 2022 to June 2021. “The ‘pause’ Maine is experiencing may indicate a lag between seller expectations and buyer purchasing behavior, and we expect the market to adjust to these shifting dynamics,” says Hill. “Nearly 1,800 families found their opportunity and bought a home in Maine during June – the seventh best June since we began record-keeping twenty-one years ago.”

STATEWIDE For people who need their driveway paved or repaired, the Better Business Bureau (BBB) advises not to trust just anyone to do the job. BBB Scam Tracker has numerous reports of unscrupulous contractors who trick homeowners with supposedly good deals. Homeowners end up with shoddy pavement – or nothing at all – to show for what they paid and, in some cases, have lost over $8,000 in the process. How the scam works: A contractor leaves a pamphlet or shows up at a homeowner’s door. They claim they have been doing work in the area and just happened to notice the condition of the driveway or sidewalk and say that, since they are already working nearby, they can offer a discount. If the price is agreeable, they will then ask for a large percentage of the fee upfront. Once the transaction is complete, the scam contractor may simply disappear. In other cases, once complete, the contractor’s work is shoddy and unprofessional, but the homeowner has already paid in full. Reaching the company the contractor allegedly represented is impossible, or another company has been misrepresented in the process. In any of these scenarios, the chances of getting a refund or the work fixed are slim. To avoid contractor scams, the BBB recommends the following: Be wary of unsolicited offers. Most scams involving contractors begin when a random contractor makes an effort to go out of their way to offer an estimate that was never requested. Research companies and contractors before hiring. Often, a simple internet search will reveal companies or individuals that have been involved in fraudulent activities or provided unsatisfactory work to previous clients. Get everything in writing. Ask for an estimate in writing before payment is even dis-

cussed. Do not let a contractor start working on a project until a written and signed contract outlining start and complete dates, a detailed description of the work to be provided, material costs, payment arrangements, and warranty information is provided. Stagger payments. Most contractors will require a percentage of the total price upfront, but it should never be the full price before the work has begun. Instead, agree to stagger payments so that work can be inspected at various stages of the project.

Use safe payment methods. Paying with a credit card provides some peace of mind, since the credit card company will help if the company is fraudulent. If paying by check, write it out to a company, not an individual. Paying cash or using an electronic wallet app is risky, since there is no way to stop the payment or get some money back if anything goes wrong. To report a possible contractor scam, visit www.bbb. org/scamtracker. For recommendations and more information, visit www.bbb.org.

Fair is Fair County fairs might be all about fun, but they’re also great for local economies. A team of economic analysts affiliated with the University of Minnesota Extension found that every dollar invested in county fairs provides a return in spending of $4.43. That’s a significant economic boost that can be especially valuable to communities looking to rebound from difficulties related to the pandemic. The analysts surveyed both vendors and fairgoers, asking each about the strategies that were effective and those that weren’t. The analysis also determined that the popularity of county fairs remains high,

as 90 percent or respondents indicated they were satisfied with their fair. See our News, Calendar, and Arts & Entertainment sections for listings of fairs near you.

Crepes in Kennebunk KENNEBUNK Seeing the need for more food offerings in the Lower Village/Dock Square area, Mornings in Paris owner Paul Humphrey recently opened the Mornings in Paris Creperie just down the driveway from his original location. According to Humphry, “With its glazed walls, French music, and framed tea towels, the creperie feels like an

extension of Mornings in Paris, but with a more intimate feel.” The new restaurant is open daily from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and serves up four savory and five sweet crepe choices that can also be customized to taste, along with cold brew, iced teas, and regular and decaf Old Port Blend coffee. Customers who crave a specialty latte or even a glass of wine and a crepe can order both

Boudreau to Chair MBA ARUNDEL AND SANFORD Partners Bank of Sanford, is proud to share that on July 1, its president and CEO, Blaine Boudreau, assumed the role of chair of the Maine Bankers Association (MBA) for a one-year term. The appointment comes after MBA member banks elected Boudreau to the position at the association’s 129th annual meeting that commenced the month prior. Boudreau, a resident of Arundel, joined Partners Bank in 2003 and previously held the positions of senior vice president of commercial lending, and executive vice president for commercial lending and business development. He began his career in banking in 1983 at Saco and Biddeford Savings Institution, where he spent two years before joining TD Banknorth in 1985. There he transitioned into commercial lending and remained

for 19 years. “I am excited to serve the MBA community throughout the coming year and I look forward to adding to the long-standing history of advocating on behalf of Maine bankers,” says Boudreau of his role as Chair of MBA. The MBA represents Maine’s banking industry and its 9,000 employees statewide. According to the association, “Maine’s 29 retail banks operate 454 offices in nearly every community throughout the state, where they assist Maine’s citizens and businesses with financial decisions that improve the quality of life for everyone. MBA also provides Maine banks with a forum to exchange valuable industry information; gain maximum representation in state and federal legislative and regulatory matters; receive education, training, and staff certification; and wield greater collective purchasing power.”

at Mornings in Paris. “You can order everything up there and come down and pick it up,” said manager John Nickulas. Busy folks can call in their orders and pick them up when ready. The creperie also carries a selection of packaged French cookies and Belgian waffles, as well as the colorful French tea towels seen framed on the walls. Additionally, Humphrey says the creperie can accommodate private parties for birthdays, bridal showers, business meetings, author signings, or staff appreciation events, and can accommodate larger events at their main location.

Mornings in Paris is also serving crepes daily from 11a.m to 5 p.m in their Ogunquit cafe

location at 246 Main Street. For more information, call 207-3523679.

Hats Off to Hackmatack BERWICK The following is an article by Lauren and Aram Guptill, edited for length. As the 50-year-old Hackmatack Playhouse gets set to raise the curtains on a summer produc tion t hat celebrates family, art, and the community principles that the rural theater has upheld since its founding, the Guptill family is announcing this will be the final season of theater at its Berwick farmstead. S. Carleton Guptill opened the theater in 1972 with a production of “Ten Nights in a Barroom,” and the playhouse will close with a production of “Smoke in the Mountains,” featuring a handful of the hundreds of actors who have performed on the stage in a barn during its five decades. The show will run from July 29 to August 20. “A half-century of live theater is a significant accomplishment,” said Michael Guptill, executive producer of Hackmatack Playhouse and Carleton Guptill’s son. “We are proud to have been a part of rural Americana, creating a place where Maine farmers, future Broadway stars, touring folks from away, and even a former U.S. president could all be a part of the summer-stock experience.” The playhouse is uniquely located in a converted dairy barn on the Guptill farmstead, which has been in the Guptill family since the late 1600s. In 1972, Carleton was a beloved history teacher at Oyster River High School in Durham, NH, with a passion for theater, community,

and the arts. Always whistling a tune or making up a jingle, Carleton left teaching to spend the remaining years of his life committed to his backyard theater, entertaining its guests, and creating a rare and special space for the arts. He would have been ecstatic to see his theater go on for 50 years. During those five decades of musicals, light operas, and plays, Hackmatack has continued to accomplish the goal laid out by Carleton of being a theater that advances the arts in rural Maine while providing affordable entertainment for families and visitors. The theater has produced hundreds of musical shows and plays and has been a quintessential slice of Maine summers. David Kaye, a former artistic producer of the playhouse who is now a UNH Professor of Theater, remembers fondly the years he spent involved in

the theater. “They say nothing lasts forever, but when it comes to Hackmatack, I am reminded of playwright William Saroyan, who, when the end was near, was quoted as saying ‘Everybody has to die, but I have always believed an exception would be made in my case’; but in reality, Hackmatack is an exception and will indeed live on. The hundreds and hundreds of actors, the tens of thousands of audience members, will forever keep fondly a magical moment of summer theater in that old barn alive and well in their hearts.” Of the playhouse’s final season, Michael Guptill said, “We welcome new guests, along with patrons of the arts, community members, and long-time friends for one last summer night of music, laughter, and charm inside Carleton’s homegrown playhouse.” For more information, visit www.hackmatack.org.

. . . MCDONOUGH from page 20 ness on July 13, 2022. Born on July 30, 1969, Jeff grew up in Lexington, MA. Jeff attended Lexington High School and graduated from UNH with a degree in English. He then went on to attend culinary school and worked as a chef and baker in many kitchens. Later in his life, he became a licensed drug and addiction counselor and worked at Right Turn in Watertown, MA, and Vinfen in Haverhill, MA. He received tremendous satisfaction from working with this population. Jeff will be remembered for his generous and compassionate heart, his humility, and his quick wit. He always had a song in his heart and an amazing memory for trivia. Jeff was a Zen practitioner and taught qigong to the recovery community. Jeff loved living on the seacoast of Maine, where he could often be found walking along the beach with his dogs.

The son of the late John T. McDonough Jr. and Joan McDonough, Jeff was a loving and devoted partner to Jennie Sandberg, of Kittery Point, ME, and her two children: Kyle Sandberg, of Boston, MA; and Michela Sandberg of Acton, MA. He is survived by his sister, Judy (Jerry) Murray (née McDonough) and their three children (Jack, James, Julia), of Mar tha’s Vineyard; and his brother, Jim (Carrie) McDonough, of Washington, CT. A celebration of his life will be held on Sunday, August 21, at the large pavilion in Fort Foster, Pocahontas Road, Kittery, between 2 and 4 p.m. To leave memories and condolences, please visit www.jspelkeyfuneralhome.com. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Fair Tide, fairtide.org. Care for the McDonough family has been entrusted to the JS Pelkey & Son Funeral Home.

VOLUNTEERS & DONATIONS NEEDED

Safe Haven Humane Society WELLS Pandora and Paris are bonded siblings, nine years old, and they are looking for a home where they can continue their healthy, happy life. Everything about these wonderful, friendly kitties is perfect. Their blood work is perfect, they’re spayed and neutered, and, with their short black coats, they are easy to care for. Adopting lovely, calm, adult kitties like them is a gratifying experience. You immediately get love back without having to wait days or weeks as you would for a shy kitty to come out from under the bed. These two are confident and should be able to adjust readily to their new family. Visit these charming kitties at our shelter at 1420 Post Road, Wells, after your adoption application, found at www. safehavenhumanesociety.org, is reviewed and approved. FMI, call 207-646-1611. Our shop at 1784 Post Road in Wells is now open seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Visit and explore the two floors

of our antique apple barn. We’re loaded with donated goods provided by our supporters. Purchases help pay our vet bills so we can rescue more kitties from dangerous living conditions. Another way to help is to donate unwanted goods. Every Saturday, from 12 to 3 p.m., we welcome items that are nautical in design, including signs, furniture, glassware, and all the things you’d find in a beach cottage. We also appreciate outdoor garden furniture, benches,

flower pots, kitchenware, linens (clean and the size marked), new or like-new clothing, fashion accessories, costume jewelry, farmhouse décor, and anything vintage. Please no books until after Labor Day. A request: please keep a shallow bowl of fresh water outside for animals who need a drink on these brutally hot days. Keep your bird baths filled with fresh, clean water, too. The heat is exhausting for the wildlife, and they need our help.

Sailing Championship in York Harbor

YORK The 2022 Maine State Club 420 Sailing Championship will be part of this summer’s York Days Week. One hundred of New England’s best small-boat sailors will converge on York Harbor to compete on Monday, August 1, and Tuesday, August 2, in the regatta hosted jointly this year by the Agamenticus Yacht Club (AYC) and the Town of York. AYC was awarded the opportunity to host the regatta by virtue of being the home club of last year’s state champions, Grace Gear and Calvin May. A great deal of planning by the town and club members is ongoing to allow for the transportation, storage, and launching from Harbor Beach of the fifty boats anticipated to compete, as well as the housing of the more than 100 athletes and coaches expected. The two days of racing is currently planned to occur just south of Nubble Lighthouse off of Long Sands Beach. Harbor Beach will be open, but Harbor Beach Road will be closed to vehicle traffic and parking to allow for the safe unloading, rigging, and storage of all participating boats. York Parks and Recreation plans to provide shuttle service from St. Georges Church

Vintage Baseball with the Brick Store

to help facilitate easy access to Harbor Beach during the regatta. Tim Newton, AYC’s vice commodore, said, “The town of York has been extremely supportive of our efforts to host the championship in town this year. York Parks & Rec and all of York’s emergency services have really helped to develop a solid plan for a safe and fun event. We look forward to fair weather and two great days of racing.” The Agamenticus Yacht Club is a nonprofit communitycentered sailing program that was established in 1937 to “promote and organize sailing activities in York Harbor.” The club’s current mission is to sustain a community of families who enjoy being on the water. In addition to fielding a competitive racing team, AYC maintains a fleet of boats and has a very active junior summer sailing program focusing on safety, enjoyment, knowledge of sailing, and boat maintenance; it also holds adult sailing lessons and clinics.

KENNEBUNK – The Brick Store Museum will host a vintage baseball game between the Dirigo Base Ball Club of Maine and Mudville Club of Holliston (MA) on Saturday, August 6, starting at 12 p.m. The game will be played on Kennebunk’s Parsons Field at the corner of Dane Street and Park Street. Parking is available downtown with a short walk to the park. The game will feat ure vintage sports costumes worn by players, and will be played by 1860s rules and practices, including no mitts. Spectators will receive the rules of play

in order to follow along. All attendees are encouraged to bring camp chairs and picnic blankets. A concession stand will be on site with hot dogs by Shields Meats and other gameday snacks. “Mak ing histor y come alive is our job,” says the mu-

seum’s executive director Cynthia Walker. “This vintage baseball game is an example of how communities can have fun with the past. It’s something that’s touched all of our lives.” Tickets to the game are $10 per person, $5 for museum members; admission for children under 12 is free. Tickets can be purchased at the door, online at brickstoremuseum.org/calendar, or at the Brick Store Museum at 117 Main Street in Kennebunk.
