Annual Blueberry Festival and Craft Fair in Kittery Point

KITTERY POINT -

Over the years, the Blueberry Festival and Craft Fair in Kittery Point has evolved into an event that locals mark on their calendars weeks in advance. There are certain elements that festival regulars in-the-know plan around, such as snagging one of the many homemade blueberry pies available for sale. The pies regularly sell out, usually before noontime. Year after year, guests arrive early to start

the day with a simple but satisfying pancake breakfast before enjoying the day’s roster of favorite vendors, live music, and kids’ activities.

This year’s festival, this Saturday, August 12, will feature those annual familiar favorites, along with the new addition of self-guided tours of the historic 1730 church building.

Church member Judy Smart has reinvented her annual tour

as an audio file for visitors to listen to on their phones. Selfguided tours of the historical cemetery, with some headstones dating back to the 18th century, are also available. Information about notable stones, such as the one marking the burial site of the shipwrecked Hattie Eaton crew, will be available at the cemetery gate. The ever-popular Kids’ Corner will feature a photo booth with fun props and

costumes, games with prizes, hair braiding by a licensed stylist, and community art projects.

The day’s itinerary starts with the blueberry pancake breakfast, served in the 1729 Parish House, 8-10:30 a.m. Sausage, coffee, and juice are included in the breakfast. At 9 a.m., the craft fair, bakery table and kids’ corner all open up for

Pod Picking Day on the Marginal Way

OGUNQUITThe black swallow-wort along the Marginal Way is back! And thankfully, so are the volunteers who come together every year to remove the invasive vine from the public pathways.

Every August since 2012 (with the exception of 2020), dedicated and determined volunteers come together on the Marginal Way with one purpose in mind – to locate and remove as many black swallow-wort seed pods as possible. Black swallow-wort is an aggressive invasive vine with pods that

burst open, spreading seeds into the air and new territory. There are two reasons the annual removal effort is so critical. First, without this yearly en-

deavor, much of the landscape along the Marginal Way would be smothered in the invasive plant. Long before people knew black swallow-wort’s botanical name, Cynanchum louisae, it was known as “dog strangling vine.” And with good reason –even someone walking through a thick patch of the plant can be tripped up as the vines wrap around feet and legs. Over the last ten years, volunteers have removed over three and a half tons of black swallow-wort. Approximately 11,400,000 seeds have been removed off the pathway, a considerable amount of

black swallow-wort that is not “swallowing up” the native vegetation.

The second reason this volunteer effort is so critical has to do with monarch butterflies. Female monarchs must find milkweed host plants for their eggs, as monarch caterpillars feed exclusively on milkweed. A European native, black swallowwort’s chemistry is so close to native milkweeds that monarchs often mistake them as suitable host plants for their eggs. Unfortunately, the caterpillars die

Fundraiser for Believe in Kids Maine

KENNEBUNKPORT -

Above Board committee members invite the community to attend their fifth annual fundraising event, “An Endless Summer Party,” on Thursday, August 17, at the Boathouse Restaurant in Kennebunkport. Proceeds from this special evening will go to directly support

Believe in Kids Maine, a nonprofit organization that provides resources for foster children living in York County.

There are currently 900 foster children living in York County alone, and over 30,000 kids throughout the state living at or below the poverty line.

10% of those kids are already in foster care, with 900 them are living with extended family who may not be receiving foster care benefit payments. When a child is placed in foster care with a grandparent or a relative, in many cases there is no funding available until the caretaker

becomes licensed for foster care. 20% of foster kids who age out at 18 end up homeless, with 40% developing some sort of substance use disorder. In many cases, the parents are already incarcerated and/or have a substance use disorder themselves. Many of these children’s physical and emotional needs are simply not being met.

Believe in Kids Maine raises funds to help provide basic necessities to these kids, such as food, clothing, new mattresses and bedding, iPads with programming for impaired children, school supplies, sneakers and more. Above Board’s fundraising goal is to raise $30,000 to help Believe in Kids provide these extra resources for families across the state.

Believe in Maine Kids was founded by Larry Stoddard to raise awareness and provide resources to the many needs of children in Maine currently living in poverty and in the foster care system. Larry, in addition to owning Distinctive Tile and Design and Homewood

Flooring, has fostered twelve children over the past four years.

Above Board is a volunteer committee of proactive community members who support initiatives that directly affect the greater York County region. The organization hosts one event per year and relies on sponsorships, ticket sales, and donations, to meet its goals. As a 501(c)3 organization, Above Board is proud to have raised over $185,000 to benefit various local initiatives that directly affect the community. Some funding initiatives in the past have included providing surf boards, wetsuits, paddleboards and other water equipment to Special Surfers, recovery coach training for community members and first responders, mental health services to assist

local police departments, and funding to help rebuild Kennebunk’s skatepark. Above Board has also sponsored the annual CS3 Christmas Party, providing families in need with clothing and toys for children. The common thread for Above Board’s fundraising efforts is to assist the community with inclusive initiatives.

Endless Summer attendees can look forward to a fabulous fundraiser party at the Boathouse. DJ Lloyd will be spinning tunes as guests dance, mingle and take in Kennebunkport’s beautiful waterfront. Specialty cocktails, craft beer, and local wines will be available, as well as hors d’oeuvres provided by The Boathouse restaurant. Cocktail attire is suggested. For details and to purchase tickets, visit www.aboveboardmaine.org. For more information about Believe in Kids Maine, visit www.caringmaine. org/believe-in-kids-maine. business. Live music under the tent starts at 10 a.m., and will feature bands Southern NH Ukelele Group, Herd of Turtles, and Brown & White. Lunch is available for purchase at the Parish House Cafe from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Air-conditioned shuttle service by FranMan Transportation will run to and from overflow parking at nearby Horace Mitchell School, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Parking attendants will also be available on site to assist with parking in the church parking lot.

The majority of proceeds from the day’s event are donated back to area charities, with some of the proceeds going to church expenses. First Congregational Church is looking forward to seeing everyone there!

First Congregational Church of Kittery, UCC, is located at 23 Pepperrell Road in Kittery Point. For more information, visit www.kitterypointucc.org or email kitterypointucc@gmail.com.

Wells Harbor and Lab Updates

WELLS -

Summer may have arrived on the calendar, but mother nature seems to be on a different schedule. Rainy, wet days with cold onshore breezes have no doubt dampened boaters’ spirits, according to harbormaster Michael Yorke, as one third of the slips and moorings remain empty, and most boats remain idle on the dock.

Striper fishing has been successful this year, with many fish over 40 inches long caught daily. These fish must be released, since the Department of Marine Resources has instituted an emergency rule to protect this class of fish. This year, a new slot limit allows

fisherman to only keep stripers between 28 and 31 inches long, since, as Yorke states, “most of the larger stripers come from the 2016 class of fish which was a phenomenal year for stripers. These larger fish will become the brood stock for years to come.”

In related news, the Shellfish Lab is open for the season after a winter of putting on finishing touches and a thorough cleaning. The lab welcomes back resident marine biologist Olivia Hardy and also welcomes Rachel Carr, a York resident who graduated from Saint Joseph’s College this spring with

~ Pets ~

It is a shame when a cat never gets to be a kitten. Everyone loves kittens, fussing over them and giving them affection. Mae did not enjoy such a happy fate, so she put “become a spoiled family member” on her bucket list.

In the meantime, motherhood commanded her instead. Just two days after arriving at Safe Haven, Mae gave birth to three darling little babies! Mae was a wonderful mother to her newborns. The kittens are now all weaned, and Mae can finally move forward with her own adoption.

The next step was to introduce Mae to Safe Haven’s adoption room. The other cats did not mind her at all, but Mae felt it was not the right fit for her. The volunteers understand why. In the adoption room with so many other kitties, Mae could not get enough of the limelight she craved. Mae simply wants to

be center stage, in the spotlight, all by herself. She truly wants to be the only kitty, and waits for that special human to spoil her rotten. This darling, sweet, affectionate kitty is more than personable and dear - she is beautiful, too.

Mae is a buff-colored beauty with a white blaze and collar, and cute little white boots. She is tiny and will remain petite, because she was a mother so early on in life. What is not little about her, however, is Mae’s giant need for love and belonging. Mae is waiting for a new friend to visit her and take her home.

Back-To-School

Shopping for New Tech

STATEWIDE -

Technology has become a permanent fixture of the education experience. After the crash course in educational technology that was the 2020 school year, teachers and students are increasingly confident in using their devices to enhance learning and school projects. Although its role in the classroom will continue to evolve, a precedent has been set: technology is now a critical component of education.

Market research firm Deloitte details how educational shifts influence consumer shopping habits: “Digital learning tools are replacing traditional school supplies, driving tech sales up 37% year-to-year.” As families begin to invest in reliable technology, the Better Business Bureau (BBB) advises shoppers to beware of scammers who could spoil their hopes for academic success.

Data shows that consumers are planning to make more technology purchases, using digital technology to make those purchases. Deloitte research in-

dicates that nearly half of consumers want to shop online for tech and device purchases. Consumers say quality and price are the top two factors driving their purchase decisions.

However, shortages of essential supplies like computer chips may limit the options available to shoppers. These trends put consumers in a risky position, needing products that they cannot find through traditional retailers and sellers. In times like these, scams are increasingly likely. Scammers may target shoppers with phony deals, enticing ads, and attractive but fake websites. Savvy online shopping is necessary to ensure consumers do not fall prey to a scam.

The BBB offers some tips for buying tech products ahead of the new school year: Shop with familiar retailers. Laptops, tablets, phones and other tech accessories can be a significant investment. Shop with established businesses to ensure purchasing a quality product and good customer service.

Do not buy from impostors.

Cell Phone Etiquette

STATEWIDE -

Although it may seem hard to believe given their current use in everyday life, mobile phones were relatively rare as recently as 25 years ago. But those days are long gone, as statistics from technology market research firm The Radicati Group, indicate that in 2022 alone there were 6.64 billion phones in use worldwide. With a current world population of just over 8 billion, it is safe to assume that roughly two-thirds of the world’s population now owns a cell phone. Phones are everywhere, even if proper mobile phone etiquette is not always commonplace.

Mobile phone etiquette is even more important now than ever before, especially given the increase in mobile phone usage, and the quick and easy access to public WiFi hotspots and blue-

Fraudsters are very good at imitating names, logos, brands and websites of major retailers and third-party providers. Closely examine the website to verify they are who they are.

Approach low prices with caution. Low prices and shortterm sales could signal the consumer may have encountered a scam. If the price seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Some companies, such as Apple, rarely offer sales, and when they do, it is usually to sell off old versions of the product before launching the updated version. Do more research if a

tooth connections to the internet. Brushing up on courteous mobile phone etiquette can ensure users are not overstepping boundaries or making enemies when using their phones.

Avoid round-the-clock texting. For the most part, texting is the main form of communication people use to keep in touch these days. In fact, data from wireless communications trade association CTIA indicates that 2.1 trillion text messages were exchanged in 2020, an increase of 52 billion messages from the year prior. The popularity and convenience of texting is undeniable, but users should avoid texting when in the company of others. Doing so can make those in the group uncomfortable, even irritable, and can adversely affect the quality of in-person conversation. When in the company of others,

company that rarely discounts products suddenly offers a huge sale. The products may be used or refurbished, or it could be a fake website. When buying refurbished products, check to make absolutely sure the vendor is a verified third-party reseller for the refurbished brand.

Know what to shop for. Set a budget, identify what features are needed to benefit the student, and compare options and payment plans. Then, shop around for a reliable retailer. Researching the best product for and individual student’s needs helps to avoid scams and buyer’s remorse.

Know who the seller is. Some big box retailers allow third-party sellers to list items on their sites, and those items can be hard to distinguish from the rest. Read all the fine print.

Shop early. Supply shortages are always possible, especially as many consumers begin shopping at the same time for the same products in the last few weeks before to the new school year begins. Get the products now to avoid paying higher prices, waiting too long for the shipment, or falling victim to a scam.

keep the phone off to the side and enjoy the one-on-one time.

Avoid using speakerphone in public. Everyone has been there and undoubtedly wished they were not. Whether at a grocery store, a restaurant, a park, a gym, or any public setting, hearing someone else carry on a conversation on speakerphone is a distracting and irritating experience for everyone within earshot. In fact, a survey from Expedia found that 53% of respondents felt making calls on speakerphone while in public was the most annoying mobile phone habit. It is generally considered rude and inconsiderate to assume the people around the caller are fine to tolerate a loud private conversation in public. Speakerphone should be used in private and only among those involved in the call.

Silence the phone. Turn notifications off while in public, especially at the movies, when attending live theater, or at a museum or gallery. Notifications have become a difficult-to-ignore component of smartphone usage. Researchers at Duke University found that the average person received between 65 and 80 notifications per day. That means an average of 80 potential interruptions each day. Turn off notifications while at work, when spending time with others and when visiting public spaces.

Use headphones or earbuds when watching videos, checking in on social media, or listening to music in public. Doing so keeps the peace and is a good way to avoid any potential heated confrontations.

Mobile phones are everywhere, which only underscores the importance of practicing proper mobile phone etiquette, particularly in public settings.

Robert Francis Barry, 89

YORK – It is with great sadness that Dorothy Barry tells of the loss of a kind and gentle man, and a devoted husband.

Robert Francis Barry was born in 1933 in the Northeast Kingdom region of Vermont, to Maurice and Lois Barry. He served in the U.S. Navy as an aircraft mechanic in a jet fighter squadron on the USS Midway, through Europe and North Africa, from 1952 to 1955.

After service, Bob was a section leader, working on airplane modifications at Transocean Airlines at McGuire Air Force Base in New Jersey. His most memorable position was as a lab technician at Princeton University, working on particle accelerators and on the Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor.

Bob later enjoyed time in the commissary cash office at Pease Air Force Base in Portsmouth, NH, and Hanscom Air Force Base in Massachussetts, receiving many honors as cashier of the month. In retirement, Bob was a pharmacy technician in York. He was an accomplished fly fisherman, and enjoyed woodworking and a good game of cribbage.

Bob was predeceased by his wife Janet, four sisters, two brothers, and two sons, Robert and Scott. He is survived by his wife Dottie, son Jim of Florida, sister Beverly Chapdelaine of Vermont, daughters, Pattie and Stephanie, many special nieces and nephews in Vermont, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren in several states.

Jeanette B. Foxlow, 88

WELLS – Jeanette B. Foxlow, 88, of Rollinsford, NH, passed away peacefully on August 2, 2023 at Wentworth Douglas Hospital in New

Hampshire. Born in Dover, NH, on September 13, 1934, she was the beloved daughter of Harold Brown and Mary Brown (Fargo).

Jeanette was married to William James Foxlow, Jr. for 51 years. She worked at Davidson Rubber for many years as a factory worker before her retirement. A lifelong resident of New Hampshire, Jeanette was a very active member of the American Legion for 34 years and volunteered monthly breakfasts, an event everyone looked forward to.

Jeanette loved cooking, musicals, and traveling to Boston to see some of her favorite places, including Faneuil Hall and the Cheers Bar. She also really enjoyed spending time at the family cottage on Wells Beach and having delicious lobster bakes.

Jeanette was always down for activities, and among her hobbies and passions were being a member of the Barfly Club, doing puzzles, gardening, mowing the lawn, and raking leaves in the fall. She was a very opinionated woman but was such a loving and loyal person. She loved her family and her friends above everything else.

Jeanette was predeceased by her parents, Harold and Mary Brown, husband William James Foxlow, Jr., son Dennis Libby, son-in-law Brian Penny, and brothers, Robert and Ronald Brown.

She is survived by her son William Foxlow, III and spouse Lisa, daughter Jennifer Penny, niece Sharon Rivera, best friend Sally Hayes, companion Bob Bisson, niece Michelle Loring, nephew Kevin Brown, as well as many grandchildren, greatgrandchildren, and friends.

Jeanette was a truly wonderful mother, grandmother, friend, coworker, and person. She will be truly missed by all who had the pleasure of being a part of her life. Every time a cardinal flies by, we ask that you think of Jeanette, as they were

Foundation Awards Second Access to Justice Tax Credit

ARUNDEL -

The Maine Justice Foundation is pleased to announce the 2023 recipients of the Access to Justice Tax Credit Program. In an effort to encourage lawyers to provide services to underserved areas of the state, the Legislature enacted the Access to Justice Tax Credit Program. Starting in 2022, the program authorized five lawyers who practice in underserved areas. Now in its second year, the program is authorizing five additional eligible attorneys to receive a $6,000 tax credit in 2023. Attorneys can continue to claim this credit for up to five years provided they maintain eligibility.

36 M.R.S. Section 5219-ZZ provides that the Maine Supreme Court or its designee shall certify up to five qualified attorneys annually for participation in the Access to Justice Tax Credit program. The court has designated the Maine Justice Foundation to administer the program and established a Standing Committee to assist and advise the Foundation in the process. The committee includes representatives of the Maine Justice Foundation, the Maine State Bar Association, and the Maine Trial Lawyers Association.

The foundation accepted applications from eligible attor-

neys from June 1-15, and received submissions from eligible applicants statewide representing Penobscot, Kennebec, Knox, Hancock, and York Counties. The foundation has recertified the 2022 applicants for their second year representing applicants from Penobscot, Hancock, Waldo, Aroostook, Somerset, Androscoggin, and Cumberland Counties.

To be eligible for selection, the recipient attorney has committed to practicing law in an underserved area for at least five years, are rostered by the Maine Commission on Indigent Legal Services to accept court appointments to represent clients in an underserved area and agree to perform pro bono legal services in an underserved area. Once eligibility was determined, the five successful recipients of the tax credit were made by random selection.

The new attorneys selected through this process for 2023 include Britany Sawyer of Arundel, Shamara Bailey of Patten, Lynn Madison of Rockland, Stephen Smith of Augusta, and Cheryl Saniuk-Heinig of Rockland. The attorneys who have been recertified are Cassandra Rogers and Benjamin Everett of Presque Isle, Taylor Kilgore

of Turner, Gregory LeClerc of Standish, and Ryan Rutledge of Skowhegan.

The Maine Justice Foundation, founded in 1983 as the Maine Bar Foundation, is the state’s leading funder of civil legal aid for poor and vulnerable Mainers. For more information, visit www.justicemaine.org.

KENNEBUNK -

When Mornings in Paris owner Paul Humphrey heard about the struggles of Maine’s lobstermen and women, he decided to do something that would both raise awareness and raise funds.

First, he created a custom coffee called Save Maine Lobstermen. Next, he marketed it to his growing customer base. And finally, he took the funds raised through the sales of the coffee and wrote a check to the Maine Lobstermen’s Association, which he recently presented to local MLA member Chris Welch.

“The lobstering industry is an integral part of our community and essential to support thousands of lobster fishing families across the state,” Humphrey said. “Equally important is what the industry does and has done for a long time to bring people to Maine. What would Maine be without locally caught lobsters?

Majestic Studios Opens in York

This is why we felt compelled to do what we can to raise awareness for the challenges the industry is facing.”

Humphrey said the company decided to focus on the lobstering industry a year ago as their annual fundraiser, donating $4 for every pound sold. Total donations exceeded $2,000.

“We developed and roasted a special coffee that we sold by the pound nationwide,” Humphrey said. “We managed to get on the Maine news and we’re featured on Maine Life, which shows the importance of this issue for us all.”

For his part, Welch said the support received by Humphrey and his customers meant even more than the check.

“Owning and operating a small business in Maine is difficult and most people don’t realize that each licensed lobsterman in Maine is, by law, a small business owner,” he said. “Maine doesn’t have large, corporate-owned lobster boats. So it means a lot to us when other small business owners, like Paul, step up and offer to help us fight burdensome federal regulations that threaten to put all of us out of business.”

Welch, who also serves on the MLA board, said lobstermen still have a fight ahead.

OHM Historic Walking Tours of Perkins Cove

OGUNQUIT -

Ogunquit Heritage Museum is now running their historic walking tours of Perkins Cove. The tours are held Mondays and Wednesdays 10-11 a.m., through October.

Take a trip back in time, to the turn of the last century and before. Learn about some of Ogunquit’s illustrious teahouses, The Dan Sing Fan and the Whistling Oyster, and their storied histories. Some presentday area businesses will also be

highlighted, with a brief history on what their structures were before they became restaurants, galleries, or gift shops.

For instance, Barnacle Billy’s was Ansel Hutchins’ fish shack before 1908, when Hamilton Easter Field bought it to build a garage, creating a new forum for his Thursday night talks. The cove was the center for two schools of art: Hamilton Easter Field’s Summer School of Graphic Art opened in 1911, and Charles Woodbury’s Woodbury

School of Drawing and Painting opened in 1898. The schools and the artists who ended up attending them changed the trajectory of Ogunquit, turning the seaside town into an artists retreat, and a vacation destination for decades to follow. The many fishermen who worked and live in the cove, and their quirky personalities, are brought to life in fun anecdotes during the walks. Walking Tour participants will get first-hand information on the many bridges and the

Built in November 2021 with a $40,000 grant from Velux Group USA, the lab will not only enhance softshell clam rearing abilities, but is also a research and educational facility open to the public, where all types of ocean life are studied, such as algae, clams, lobsters, horseshoe crabs, and more. Visitors have the chance to see these

organisms up close in the touch tank and upwellers. The Wells Shellfish Committee noted in May that they would be receiving a half million one-millimeter clams to grow in the lab!

This information was collected from the Wells Connector newsletter as well as postings on the Town of Wells and Harbormaster Facebook pages. More information can be found on the Facebook page specific to “Wells Harbor Shellfish Lab.” The lab is always looking for volunteers interested in aquaculture. If interested, call the Harbormaster at 207-646-3236.

Chaplin’s “The Pilgrim” Screens with Live Music

OGUNQUITCharlie Chaplin forsakes his usual “tramp” character to play a minister in “The Pilgrim” (1923), a rarely screened classic comedy to be shown with live accompaniment at the Leavitt Theater in downtown Ogunquit.

In the movie, Chaplin tells the story of an escaped convict who takes refuge in a small town by pretending to be a pious clergyman. The clergy, Westerns, child discipline and baking are among the many sources of laughter in the film, which this year is celebrating the 100th anniversary of its original release.

“The Pilgrim,” which runs about 40 minutes, will be preceded by “Bell Boy 13” (1921), a comedy

starring Douglas MacLean.

Seacoast musician Jeff Rapsis has been creating live scores for silent films over the past decade, and currently performs live music for over 120 screenings each year. His standard approach to scoring silent films is to improvise the score on the spot, as a movie is screening.

“It’s kind of a high wire act to do the music this way. But it

provides an energy and excitement that contributes to the experience,” Rapsis said.

This season’s Leavitt Theatre silent film schedule features movies all celebrating their 100th anniversaries in 2023. Upcoming shows include:

“A Woman of Paris” (1923), on Wednesday, August 23 at 6 p.m. A Chaplin drama where a kept woman (Edna Purviance) runs into her former fiancé and finds herself torn between love and comfort.

“Haldene of the Secret Service” (1923), on Wednesday, September 6 at 6 p.m. In Harry Houdini’s final starring vehicle, the actor plays the son of a detective slain by a gang of counterfeiters.

“The Ten Commandments” (1923), Wednesday, September 20 at 6 p.m. Long before Charlton Heston played Moses in Technicolor, director Cecil B.

DeMille filmed this silent blockbuster on a grand scale in black and white.

“The Pilgrim” will be shown with live music on Wednesday, August 16 at 6 p.m. at the historic Leavitt Theatre,

259 Main Street, in Ogunquit. Admission is $12 per person. For more information, visit www. leavittheatre.com or call 207646-3123. For more information about the music, visit www.jeffrapsis.com.

Museum Launches New Cookbook

KENNEBUNKThe Brick Store Museum has nearly 30,000 archival materials in its collections, comprising of letters, diaries, ledgers, photographs, sketchbooks, and cookbooks relating to local Kennebunk history, and those who lived in the town in prior centuries. One such artifact is a cookbook of recipes collected by the museum’s founder, Edith Barry. The book has now been reproduced in its entirety, with editorial notes and biographies on the recipe contributors included. The book, “Edith’s Cookbook: Treasured Recipes and Women’s Lives,” can now be enjoyed for its history, culinary offerings and storytelling.

VRPRO111@gmail.com with your name and email address.

Though Edith Barry assembled the recipes into book form in the 1950s, the recipes themselves date back to the 19th and early 20th centuries. The recipes and cooking traditions came mostly from female family members, friends and neighbors living in and around Kennebunk. Flipping through the reproduced original pages –some of the pages feature stains and handwritten notes – readers will find over 100 recipes spanning close to three centuries. The book also includes modern updates of the original cooking notes (i.e. the meaning behind a “slow oven”), historical images, and biographies of the women who shared the recipes. The

book was written and edited by museum team Amy Tyson (local chef and museum trustee), Leanne Hayden (Collections & Archives manager) and Cynthia Walker (Executive Director). Those interested in either cooking or local history – or both – would be interested to explore the book, which focuses in on women’s local history. The stories of local women are often overlooked within the grand storytelling of Kennebunk’s local shipbuilding lore; “Edith’s Cookbook” pays homage to these women and their many contributions to their communities.

The book can be purchased at the Brick Store Museum’s shop at 117 Main Street in Kennebunk, or online at www.brickstoremuseum.org.

KENNEBUNKIn a time of rapid ideological change surrounding

gender, sexuality, and equality, a new workshop sponsored by the Kennebunk Free Library (KFL)

aims to help clarify the public’s understanding of gender and sexual identity, and the different perceptions and origins of these identities. The workshops aim to explore and discuss sources and impacts of discrimination against gender non-conforming people, especially within the younger population, and lastly, to teach the public how to improve one’s role as an ally and supporter of the LGBTQ community. The workshop series includes presentations and discussion, and some in-class exercises and demonstrations. It will also provide print and online resources for those who wish to develop a broader understanding of the LGBTQ community at large.

Session one, on Monday, August 21 at 6 p.m.: “An Introduction to Concepts,” a detailed look at the underlying social theories of gender, sex, and sexual-

ity, and how these theories manifest themselves in U.S. society.

Session two, on Monday, September 11 at 6 p.m.: “Inquiries into the LGBTQ Community,” examining the LGBTQ population’s historical experience within U.S. society and the long-term impacts of discrimination.

Session three, on Monday, September 25 at 6 p.m.: “How to Be an Effective Ally,” covering the approaches, interactions, awareness, and issues facing allies today.

STATEWIDEMaine legislators have approved $23,509,000 in congressionally directed spending for mental health and substance use disorder treatment programs and facilities in the Fiscal Year 2024 (FY24) Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education appropriations bill. The bill, which was recently approved by the Senate Appropriations Committee, now awaits consideration by the full Senate and House.

“To combat the rising rate of drug overdoses in Maine, a variety of organizations across the state are stepping up to meet community needs and battle the opioid crisis through an all-of-

the-above approach, including supporting those in need through access to treatment and supportive services,” said Senator Susan Collins, who spearheaded the funding. “As the Vice Chairman of the Appropriations Committee, I will continue to advocate for this life-saving funding as the appropriations process moves forward.”

Details on funding for Maine substance use disorder projects are below:

St. Mary’s Regional Medical Center, Lewiston. Amount requested: $3,989,000, for facilities and equipment at an SUD inpatient treatment unit.

Save a Life Recovery Center Building Improvements, Lincoln. Amount requested: $167,000, for facilities and equipment at an SUD treatment and recovery center.

STATEWIDEFinding Our Voices, a statewide organization that assists women survivors of domestic abuse, has received $10,000 for its new statewide program “Finding Our Smiles.” Finding Our Smiles provides free dental care for Maine women and child victims of domestic abuse.

The grant from the Elmina B. Sewall Foundation will help the grassroots nonprofit keep up with the momentum of Finding Our Smiles. Since the launch of this program six months ago, 18 dentists across Maine, including oral surgeons and orthodontists, have signed on to provide pro bono dental procedures. Two dental labs, Port City in Windham and NDX H&O in Manchester, NH, are also participating. Nine Maine survivors so far have had their smiles restored or are well along the multi-stage process toward this happy outcome.

Finding Our Voices president/founder Patrisha McLean said, “I have been blown away by the generosity and kindness of the Maine dental community in embracing Finding Our Smiles. Dental providers are donating huge chunks of precious office time and thousands of dollars worth of treatment, and often they thank us for the opportunity to provide this lifealtering gift to Maine’s domestic abuse survivors.”

McLean added, “The

Elmina B. Sewall grant is exactly what we need to continue to keep Finding Our Smiles organized and to provide transportation to appointments for clients when needed. I am so grateful to this prestigious organization as well as the top-notch dentists in our program for prioritizing domestic abuse survivors and validating our groundbreaking, survivor-powered efforts.”

Finding Our Smiles provides cosmetic as well as critical care, and fixes dental problems stemming from neglect due to emotional abuse as well as from physical violence.

Dr. Rebecca Laliberte fixed the front tooth of a young woman named Amber that was chipped from a punch in the face. Dr. David Pier rebuilt the teeth of Alexandra that had rotted due to her “not being allowed” to brush them. According to McLean, every time the mother of four started to brush her teeth, her (now ex) husband would accuse her of “wanting to make yourself beautiful for your boyfriend.” Because the taunts would sometimes escalate to strangulation, it was safer for her to not brush them. With her smile back to how it was before she got pulled into domestic abuse at the age of 15, Alexandra said she no longer hides away in embarrassment and shame. “I get compliments all the time, I have a job I am proud of, I am a member of society again,” she says.

Participating dental providers get domestic abuse sur-

vivors in quickly for treatment despite their jam-packed schedules, and provide the caliber of work, in the words of Dr. Sarah Bouchard, “that I would want if I was in the chair myself.” This includes porcelain veneers which last longer than less expensive alternatives and when possible, rebuilding the woman’s existing teeth as an alternative to extractions and dentures.

In June, the Maine Dental Association provided Finding Our Voices with free, front and center exhibit space at their annual convention in Bar Harbor, which increased the nonprofit’s number of dental partners in every region in Maine as a result.

MDA President Elect Dr. Shanna Gagnon gave one Finding Our Smiles client, “Client A,” seven fillings and fixed her broken front tooth. The Farmingdale dentist will also be providing A with a cleaning at her upcoming fourth pro bono appointment. A said she was prevented for years from seeking dental care by her abusive ex-husband. “Dr. Gagnon and

her staff are amazing,” she said. “First experience in my life of X-rays without pain and her injections are so gentle, I couldn’t even tell she was doing them. I can eat without pain and that’s something I didn’t know I would ever be able to do.”

Augusta-based oral surgeon

Dr. Rob Berube turbo-charged

the program last winter by introducing McLean at dental society gatherings. “Providing safe and healthy pathways forward for women of domestic abuse, Patrisha and her staff move mountains to create successful outcomes. I would

Bill Supports Fishing Communities Funding for PNSY Included in Defense Appropriations Bill

introduced by U.S. Senators Angus King (I-ME) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK).

“Fisheries are an incredibly important part of Maine’s economy, heritage, and culture, and sustain entire communities along our coasts and beyond. A lot goes into getting the day’s catch from the Gulf of Maine to consumers’ plates – but under our current system, the hardworking people who are essential to the fishing industry don’t have access to the financial support the Farm Credit System offers,” said Pingree, a member of the House

Agriculture Committee. “Small businesses that directly help our iconic fishing industry, such as businesses that provide cold storage or make fishing gear, should be able to depend on the Farm Credit System as countless farmers, ranchers, and loggers have for decades. Extending these benefits through the Fishing Industry Credit Enhancement Act just makes sense.”

“The Maine Lobstermen’s Association (MLA) supports legislation that would allow Farm Credit institutions to lend to fishing-related businesses in the same way they lend to farmrelated businesses. This change will increase the options for and availability of credit to businesses supporting the fishing industry in Maine and other coastal states,” said Patrice McCarron, Executive Director of the Maine Lobstermen’s Association. “The economies of Maine’s coastal communities center around commercial fishing and the businesses that support the fishing industry in the same way that many rural communities revolve around farming and businesses supporting farming. Fishingrelated businesses deserve the same access to competitive financing.”

The FCS is a network of lending institutions that provides credit to the agriculture industry. It was founded in Congress in

KITTERY -

Senator Susan Collins, Vice Chairman of the Appropriations Committee and Subcommittee on Defense, announced that she has secured key funding and language for Portsmouth Naval Shipyard (PNSY) in the Fiscal Year 2024 (FY24) Department of Defense Appropriations Act.

By a bipartisan vote of 27-1, the measure advanced through the markup of the FY24 Defense appropriations bill - an important step that now allows the bill to be considered by the full Senate. Committee consideration of legislation is a key part of regular order, which helps government function efficiently and deliver results for the people of Maine and America.

1916 to help farmers who historically struggled to access reliable credit and has since provided almost a million loans totaling more than $373 billion to farmers, ranchers, fishermen, aquatic producers, and more. Borrowers must meet eligibility and creditworthiness requirements. It currently provides more than one-third of the credit used by those who live and work in rural America.

“The hardworking men and women at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard play an important role in maintaining our Navy fleet and enhancing our national security,” said Senator Collins. “I have long advocated for the Navy to address the modernization needs at PNSY, and Committee passage of this legislation is an important step towards building on funding I have previously secured for critical upgrades. As the Vice Chairman of the Appropriations Committee, I will continue to advance this funding as the appropriations process moves forward.”

Highlights of the bill include: maintaining a requirement that the Navy induct no fewer than 100 apprentices at PNSY and each of the other shipyards; $1.6 billion to fund 100% of ship depot maintenance operations at PNSY; an additional $160 million to support the Navy’s Shipyard Infrastructure Optimization program; $470 million for Virginia-class submarine spares and repair parts to assist in efficient submarine maintenance at PNSY.

CNCC Men’s Twilight LeagueMaine Residents Raise Funds for Cancer Research

CAPE NEDDICK -

On Tuesday, August 1, seventy-eight golfers competed on the par 36 back nine in the eleventh week of the Men’s Twilight League at Cape Neddick Country Club. Each week, twoman teams compete in ninehole four ball matches against other teams in their respective flights. This week, the top scoring teams in each flight were:

Pete Kuchinsky and Sam Morse (5.5 points, Colwell Flight);

Tyler Crowder and Greg Telge (6 points, Davy Flight); Michael Gauthier and David Yarian and Scott Cogger and Ron Jordan (7 points, Galante Flight); Jim Murphy and Joe Ryan (7 points, Levine Flight); Jay Langill and Bob Stephenson (7 points, McNeice Flight); George Gochros and Doug Quagliaroli (6 points, Boston Flight); and Gene McSweeney and Bill Sawyer (5.5 points, Spohrer Flight). The top scoring Super Team was ST10 (Appis and Swietek, Gauthier and Yarian, Howard and Romanelli, Shorey and Soule, Sr.) which scored 18 points but unfortunately remained in 10th place in the season standings. With only three weeks remaining in the regular season, ST6 (DiBona and Kaufmann, Morel and Garvey, Heminger

and Zimmerman, Lowry and Whitelaw) remains in first place and has begun to separate itself from the remaining ten teams. They now lead second place ST9 (Crowder and Telge, Feider and Small, Fogel and McDonough, Lynch and O’Connor) by six points.

In this week’s two-man team special tournament, “Match of Cards,” team versus all teams, the league simulated 861 matches between each pair and the other 41 pairs. The dominating two-man team, which won all of their 41 matches was Jim Murphy and Joe Ryan. In the Super Team special tournament, “Average of all Balls,” ST9 and ST4 (Kuchinsky and Morse, Aimola and Cronan, Murphy and Ryan, Estes and Frederick) each posted the best nine-hole net score of 12-under par 24.

Individually, the following golfers earned weekly medalist honors with the low gross score in their flights: Nick Saulnier and Pete Kuchinsky (+2, Colwell); Devin Coleman (+4, Davy); Jory Feider (+4, Galante); Chris Brown (+4, Levine); Bob Stephenson (+6, McNeice); Mike Estes (+10, Boston); and Frank Zito (+14, Spohrer).

STATEWIDE -

On the weekend of August 5, more than 6,000 riders from around the globe, including 51 residents from Maine, pedaled in the 44th Pan-Mass Challenge (PMC). The cyclists came together with the common goal of raising a record-breaking $70 million for cancer research and patient care at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, MA. The goal this year was to top last year’s record-breaking gift and raise $70 million for cancer research and patient care.

As the nation’s single most successful athletic fundraiser, the annual bike-a-thon includes one and two-day routes, from 25 to 211 miles, designed to cater to all levels of cycling and fundraising ability. For the 17th consecutive year, 100% of every rider-raised dollar is donated directly to Dana-Farber to support lifesaving cancer research and treatment. The PMC accounts for more than 60% of the Jimmy

but only three teams won “Absolute Team Net Skins”: Bill Sawyer and Gene McSweeney (Eagle on #11); Doug Quagliaroli and George Gochros (Eagle on #14); Greg Telge and Tyler Crowder (Eagle on #17).

Fund’s annual revenue as DanaFarber’s largest single contributor.

“The steadfast commitment of the PMC community year after year continues to inspire me,” said Billy Starr, founder and executive director of the PMC. “With our sights set on a record-breaking fundraising goal for PMC 2023, I’m grateful for the continued support from all PMC riders, volunteers, donors, and sponsors and I can’t wait to see everyone out on the road together this August.”

Riders and volunteers traveled from 43 states and eight countries to participate in PMC Ride Weekend festivities. Most participated in honor of a family member or a friend fighting cancer, with many of the riders themselves being cancer survivors. There are also 150 DanaFarber employees committed to the cause as riders and volunteers, in some cases to fund their own cancer research.

The PMS thanks the following local riders for their fundraising efforts: Brian Roux and Christine Baker of Kennebunk/Kennebunkport; Scott Jones and Katherine Volpe of Kittery; Ogunquit’s Tim Tower of Ogunquit; Timothy Maguire

of South Berwick; Paul Haseltine of Wells; Ellen Fisher, Jim Fitzgerald, Scott Howe, Michele Sedler, Luke Stockmayer Myrna Solomon of York/York Harbor.

The Pan-Mass Challenge (PMC) is an annual bike-a-thon that raises more money for charity than any other single athletic fundraising event in the world. The PMC was founded in 1980 by Billy Starr, who remains the event’s executive director. The event donates 100% of every rider-raised dollar directly to the cause, generating more than 60% of the Jimmy Fund’s annual revenue as Dana-Farber’s single largest contributor.
