First Annual Gateway Summer Crafters’ Market YORK The York Region Chamber of Commerce (YRCC) is pleased to announce the first season of the Gateway Summer Crafters’ Market. After the success of the chamber’s farmers markets, the organization felt there was a great need for a similar outlet for craft artisans, allowing consumers to share an authentic, face-to-face experience with local producers. After its debut on July 10, the second market will be held on August 14 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. More than 15 local vendors will be in the lots behind the YRCC building at 1 Stonewall Lane, York, rain or shine. “We received many requests from crafters asking for a market that is similar to the Summer Farmers’ Market held weekly at the same location. We are here to promote local business and offer as many opportunities as we can for them,” said Holly Roberts, executive director of the YRCC. “The July market was small but well attended, and the vendors left happy. The August event has more than doubled with participating vendors.” As of August 10, participating crafters include Bauneg Beg

Farm, offering all-natural balms for the body and pets, bath oils, salt scrubs, and shower bombs; Bonny Mountain Metalsmith, with sterling silver, copper, and brass jewelry; CR Keen Woodworking, providing wood-turned

Pod Picking Day Along the Way

OGUNQUIT Volunteers will gather on Saturday, August 13, on Ogunquit’s Marginal Way to collect the seed pods of the invasive black swallow-wort. There are a variety of invasive plants growing all over Maine, but one of the nastiest is black swallow-wort. Most people are probably familiar with some invasive plants. Bittersweet is easily recognized in the fall by its colorful berries, often a tradition in autumn bouquets. Japanese knotweed, commonly called “bamboo,” produces large white f lower heads in August that people admire. Swallow-wor t is much more subtle, and can quickly

end up in gardens or natural landscapes. This thin, barely noticeable vine climbs its way up shrubs or small trees to reach sunlight. By July, long, narrow green seed pods begin to festoon the vines. As the weeks go by, the seeds ripen inside the pod. By early September, the pods burst open, and the wind disperses the seed parachutes far and wide. Therefore, timing is critical. The seed pods must be collected before they open. Seeds that do not germinate the next spring are still viable for at least five more years. Swallow-wort has been growing on the Marginal Way for decades, concealed amid all the other vegetation. Visitors

often ask, “Where did it come from in the first place? Whom can we blame?” Reportedly, in the mid 1860s, a plantsman on the North Shore of Massachusetts brought a specimen back from Eastern Europe for his botanical collection, and a few seeds escaped from his greenhouse. Today, swallow-wort has spread to at least 21 states and into Canada.

executive director, Laura Dolce, “One of the many, many ways Sharon gave back to this community was by buying backpacks every August and stuffing them full of school supplies. Then she’d label them with the grade level and begin putting one or two at a time in a bin under the Little Pantry.” In an article published last year in Seacoast Online after Staz’s passing in 2021, Dolce wrote, “Even after she retired from KLPD, Sharon didn’t stop fighting and advocating and leading on such issues as the town’s carbon footprint, energy efficiency, streetlights, a skatepark, and more.

Haley Hosts Talk & Work by Oaks

KITTERY On Saturday, August 20, 2-4 p.m., the Haley Art Gallery will host a gallery talk by Sharon Oakes in connection with the current exhibit “Bill Oakes: Art, Imagination, Vision.” Sharon and Bill Oakes were married for 15 years before Bill passed away in 2005. The talk will explore how a 1990 trip to Mexico and the artist’s unique vision and expansive imagination inspired many of the exhibited works on view at the gallery through September 10. She will also discuss how Bill turned from realism to abstraction. Bill Oakes grew up in Maine and started painting as a child. Following his graduation from Brunswick High School,

he attended Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle, WA. Moving to Washington, DC, to join the Navy, he was assigned to the Navy Combat Art Gallery as the first artist on active duty to provide visual reporting since 1954. His over 180 paintings and drawings of returning Vietnam vets at the Bethesda Naval hospital, sailors at the Navy diving school, and

the recommissioning of the battleship New Jersey remain in the U.S. Navy Fine Arts Collection. Oakes held a Master’s degree in Critical and Creative Thinking (CCT) from UMass, Boston, and taught at the New England School of Art and Design and the Art Institute of Boston. His illustrations appeared in books and numerous magazines and newspapers, including “The Washington Post” as a Watergate trials courtroom artist. He also created and self-published several art instruction manuals and produced three children’s books with one of his art students. A portion of the profits from this show will be donated to the Dance Hall, Kittery. For more information, visit www.haleyartgallery.com.

“Blood and Sand” at Leavitt OGUNQUIT On Wednesday, August 17, at 7 p.m., the Leavitt Theatre, at 259 Main Street in Ogunquit, will screen “Blood and Sand,” a bullfighting epic with sadomasochistic overtones that helped catapult actor Rudolph Valentino to worldwide fame. The number three box office hit of 1922, “Blood and Sand” combined exotic Spanish locales with Valentino’s iconic performance as a bullfighter. The movie’s immense popularity helped establish the actor as one of the megastars of the silent film era. Directed for Paramount Pictures by Fred Niblo, the cast includes leading ladies Lila Lee as Carmen and Nita Naldi as Doña Sol. Unusual for Hollywood at the time, women played key roles in the film’s production: the story was adapted by June Mathis, the screenwriter credited with first recognizing Valentino’s appeal, and edited by future director Dorothy Arzner. The film tells the story of Juan Gallardo (Valentino), a village boy born into poverty who grows up to become one of Spain’s greatest matadors. Gallardo marries a friend from his childhood, the beautiful and virtuous Carmen. But after achieving fame and fortune, he finds himself drawn to Doña Sol, a wealthy, seductive widow. They embark on a torrid affair.

But then Gallardo, feeling guilty over his betrayal of Carmen, tries to free himself of Doña Sol. Gallardo’s troubles spill over to the bullfighting arena, where he becomes reckless. “Blood and Sand” was based on the 1909 Spanish novel “Sangre y arena” (Blood and Sand) by Vicente Blasco Ibáñez and the play version of the book by Thomas Cushing. The film inspired the Blood and Sand cocktail, a Prohibition-era mixed drink. Live music will be provided by accompanist Jeff Rapsis, a New Hampshire-based performer who specializes in scoring and presenting silent films. Admission is $12 per person, general seating.

~ Art & Entertainment ~ Recycling as a Work of Art!

YORK COUNTY Ecomaine, a consortium of over 65 New England communities that provides comprehensive, long-term solid waste solutions, is holding an art contest titled “Recycling as a Work of Art.” The organization will select as many as six winning entries to turn “silver bullet” recycling containers into something more colorful with a strong recycling message. Individuals, community groups, and schools are invited to enter a design for a metal canvas measuring 22' 6" by 6' 10". Submissions should center on reduction, reuse, recycling, and sustainability. Winning designs will be selected in September by Ecomaine’s Outreach and Recycling Committee and will to be painted onto the containers in the fall. Painters will receive a $500 stipend and reimbursement for

up to $500 in supplies. The finished containers will then be shipped around Maine and New Hampshire to collect community single-sort recycling. “We couldn’t be more thrilled to provide this canvas to local artists again this year,” said Michelle Radley, Ecomaine’s acting communications manager. “Our focus with this initiative is to promote recycling and dis-

A shuttle bus to and from the parking area at Mitchell School will run throughout the event. According to the book of meeting notes from the Ladies’ Circle, the first Summer Sale fundraiser on August 13, 1919, raised a grand total of $106.96 (worth roughly $1,800 today). Goods included homemade candy, aprons, “fancy work,” cakes, and ice cream, and it featured a concert that netted a whopping $9.50.

Those earnings were used to pay the “church shingling bill” and the balance of the “electric light bill.” By comparison, in 2021, the Fellowship raised and donated nearly $10,000 to local charities and organizations. It hopes to exceed that amount this year. The First Congregational Church is at 23 Pepperrell Road in Kittery Point. Overflow parking will be at Mitchell School, 7 School Lane, with shuttle service beginning around 8:30 a.m., provided by FranMan Transportation.

~ Art & Entertainment ~ Ringer in Black at Hackmatack BERWICK With just a few performances left before Hackmatack Playhouse closes its doors, the Berwick theater faced a dilemma like none other in its 50-year history: a half an hour before curtain, the actors had to figure out how to put on the show without two of their cast members. Ticket holders were already lining up Saturday night, August 7, when the two actors called in to say they had been exposed to COVID-19. Fifteen minutes later, the cast had agreed to reconfigure “Smoke on the Mountain,” a musical comedy that features a family of traveling musicians in the mountains of 1938 North Carolina; and suddenly, an assistant stage manager who is still in high school learned she was going to be performing. Hyla Fitchett, a senior at Noble High School who already knew most of the parts from weeks of rehearsals, appeared on stage in her black stage-manager attire, filling in where needed on lines, songs, and energy. One actor helped her learn a song, and another helped her strike up the nerve to go on stage. “I was nervous, excited, scared, all these good things,” said Fitchett, who began at Hackmatack as a camper when she was 7. “The entire cast lifted me up and gave me the confidence I needed.”

As the audience waited for the show to begin, theater owner Michael Guptill told them about the two missing cast members and offered to refund tickets. “Out of an abundance of caution, these two actors are not here with us tonight,” Guptill said. “None of our cast members have been exposed, and the ones that were exposed are not here. But as a result of that, our show will be a little bit different tonight.” Most audience members stayed, even giving the cast a standing ovation at the end for the extra effort, which involved a good amount of creative and humorous ad-libbing. And no one asked for their money back. Many of these ticket-holders were longtime Hackmatack fans, there for what may well be their last visit. “There are so many reasons to love this place,” said Chan Sanborn, 89, who has been coming to Hackmatack with his wife, Ann, for all of its 50 years. “And ‘Smoke on the Mountain’ is the finale. It is really sad; it is so, so sad.” Sanborn, who lived in Durham, returns yearly from Florida, now bringing his daughter, son-in-law, and grandson. Asked what he will miss most, Sanborn said he of course loved the shows, which got more professional over the years. And as an agriculture major in college, he was a fan of the farm animals,

Much Music at Leavittfest OGUNQUIT Ogunquit’s oldest landmark, the 1923 Leavitt Theatre, at 259 Main Street in Ogunquit, will host its 13th annual Leavittfest, a four-day music-and-arts festival featuring over 30 bands from the area playing swing, blues, rockand-roll, bluegrass, and other genres. The festival is an annual event at the theater with the ambition to not only provide a venue for local musicians and artists, but also raise money to upgrade and preserve the historic 500-seat summer theater built in 1923, helping to keep it current and in operation. This year, Gary’s Guitars of Portsmouth, NH, has donated a beautiful Fender guitar to be raffled, along with other

prizes, on the last night. In addition to concert events and movies, the Leavitt Theatre offers various forms of entertainment in its summer schedule, including historical silent films with live piano music, and comedy shows. The venue features a new restaurant/bar in the

balcony, mezzanine, lobby, and outside garden. All shows can be enjoyed with food and drinks. Leavittfest will take place August 12-15, from 5 p.m. to 12 a.m. on each day. Doors open at 4 p.m. Tickets are $10 for any one day or $25 for a fourday pass. For more information, visit www.facebook.com/ LeavittFest?ref=hl.

especially the bison that were added several years ago. Of her unexpected turn on the stage, Fitchett said, “We all honestly just wanted to give the audience a good show.” Directed by Jeffrey Seabaugh, “Smoke on the Mountain” has attracted so much interest that the playhouse added a fourth matinee at 2 p.m. on Saturday, August 20, just hours before the theater’s final performance. This matinee will include a special dessert bar, with Gayle Guptill’s signature blueberry pie. For tickets and information, visit www.hackmatack.org.

New State Laws Affect Health STATEWIDE O n Mond ay, Aug ust 8, non-emergency laws affecting health care that were approved during the second regular session of the 130th Legislature went into effect. According to lawmakers, this

session championed measures to combat high-energy prices, improve access to health care and prescription drugs, promote economic opportunity, and support working families, seniors, and veterans. Among the new laws af-

fecting health care are one that requires state-regulated health care plans to cover all prescription contraceptive medications approved by the Food and Drug Administration at no out-ofpocket cost to patients (LD 1954); one that improves access to postpartum care by requiring state-regulated health care plans to include 12 months of postpar-

tum care (LD 1357); one that requires health insurance carriers to provide coverage for fertility diagnostic care, for fertility treatment if the enrollee is a fertility patient, and for fertility preservation services (LD 1539); one that allows a pharmacist to dispense an emergency supply of a chronic maintenance drug to a patient without a prescription if the pharmacist is unable to obtain authorization to refill the prescription from a health care provider (LD 1776); one that helps emergency medical service departments, especially those in rural areas, recruit and retain workers (LD 1859); one that requires the Maine Health Data Organization to annually report on the 100 most costly prescription drugs and the 100 most frequently prescribed prescription drugs in the state and determine the potential savings that could be achieved by subjecting those drugs to a referenced rate (LD 1636); and one that provides ongoing funding to Meals on Wheels to provide home-delivered meals to homebound seniors (LD 485). These

were among the nearly two dozen bills related to multiple topics that became law and will take effect on the same date. “Maine people deserve a government that puts them at the heart of their agenda,” said Senate President Troy Jackson (D-Allagash). “If you look back at the laws passed this year, it’s clear that is exactly what we did. My colleagues and I took the stories, concerns, and ideas we heard from working families, seniors, and small business owners and turned them into legislative action.” All non-emergency laws take effect 90 days after the legislature adjourns sine die, unless otherwise specified. Emergenc y measures, i ncluding provisions adopted as a part of the supplemental budget, take effect immediately upon the governor’s signature. To find the complete texts of the laws, as well as information on the lawmakers who introduced them and who voted for or against them, visit www. legislature.maine.gov.

Health & Fitness . . . TALK from page 1 followed by a conversation with the panelists, an audience question-and-answer session, and a book signing. According to the press release, the new book “shares original research fielded among 1,500 U.S. workers and in-depth interviews with 40 successful leaders who practice compassionate leadership. Tramuto’s research exposed a compassionate leadership gap: leaders express support for compassionate practices, but most workers don’t perceive their leaders to be practicing compassionate leadership adequately, if at all. Tramuto puts forth proven strategies to close that gap and drive results. Filled with inspiring stories and actionable examples from successful high-profile employers, ‘The Double Bottom Line’ defines a new model of leadership and examines how to cultivate more compassionate people.” Recognized by “The New York Times” as a global health activist, Tramuto is the former CEO of Tivity Health and founder of the TramutoPorter Foundation and Health eVillages. He has nearly four decades of business leadership experience and was a recipient of the Robert F. Kennedy Ripple of Hope Award in 2014 and the Robert F. Kennedy Embracing His Legacy Award in 2017. Corwin is a veteran publishing and media executive, writer, content creator, marketer, and advisor. She was recognized in “The Wall Street Journal”’s 50 Women to Watch list for “leading a striking turnaround” at Rodale’s book division. She has appeared or been featured in media outlets such as “The New York Times,” “The Wall Street Journal,” and CNBC. The event will be held at the Ogunquit Playhouse at 10 Main Street in Ogunquit. There is no charge to attend this event, but registration is required and can be completed online at www.tickets.ogunquitplayhouse.org or by calling the box office at 207-646-5511 between 12 and 6 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday.

Give Blood for a Chance at a Year’s Supply of Gas! YORK COUNTY Did you know that about 62% of the US population is eligible to give blood? But only about 3% does. By making an appointment to help save lives with the American Red Cross in August, donors can pump up the blood supply and keep it from falling to shortage levels. Platelet donors are especially needed now. As a thank-you, all who give through August 31 will be automatically entered for a chance to win gas for a year, at a $6,000 value. There will be three lucky winners. Donors will also receive a $10 e-gift card to a merchant of choice. Schedule an appointment by using the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting www.redcrossblood.org, or calling 1-800-733-2767. The Red Cross follows a high standard of safety and infection control. It will continue

to socially distance wherever possible at blood drives, donation centers, and facilities. While donors are no longer required to wear a face mask, individuals may choose to continue to do so. All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age in most states (16 with parental consent where allowed by state law),

weigh at least 110 pounds, and are in generally good health, may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.

Dear Computer Pro, I recently dumped a glass of water on my laptop, and it shut off almost immediately. I have left it upside down for a few days. Is there any chance it’s going to be OK? Is there anything else I could have done to save it? Thanks, Nyota Dear Nyota, Unfortunately, you are most likely going to need to replace that laptop. If it shut off instantly, that means the liquid reached some of the electronics and caused a short. There is a chance that it could dry over time and work, but those chances are pretty low. In the event it ever happens again, the best thing to do is immediately unplug it from power and remove the battery. This will, at least, keep power from running through the circuits and, hopefully, keep anything from shorting. Many of the laptops today, however, do not have removable batteries, so there is not a lot you can do other than bring it in to a shop and see if they can help. Once all the power is removed, flip it upside down as much as you can in hopes that the water comes back out where it entered. Some business-class laptops have a keyboard that is designed to contain liquids and channel it through a little drain on the bottom. In that case, you would still want to remove power and the battery, and then you could flip it on its side with the laptop open about 45 degrees and let the water run out. I have seen this work many times as long as the liquid was water. Good luck! Matt Dear Computer Pro, I have a MacBook with an HDMI port and was given a beautiful monitor that only has a VGA port and a DisplayPort. I bought an adapter cable online that converted from HDMI to

PUZZLE ANSWERS

~ Ask The Computer Pro ~ DisplayPort, but I still cannot get anything to display on the monitor. Is the monitor bad, or do you think it is the cable? Thanks, Scotty Dear Scotty, If I had to guess, the cable you purchased was a DisplayPort to HDMI cable. This cable is intended for PCs that have a DisplayPort port and the monitor has an HDMI port. These cables will not work in the other direction. To convert HDMI to DisplayPort, you need an active adapter and a DisplayPort cable. Also, if your laptop has a USB-C port, there is a good chance it will be able to convert to DisplayPort with an adapter cable. I find these to be easier to use, take up less space, and tend to last longer. Good luck! Matt Dear Computer Pro, I have a ton of music in iTunes that I would like to backup, but I do not see how to do it in iTunes. Is this possible? I feel like I have been able

to backup everything else on my computer except my music! Thank you for your time, Jim Dear Jim, It has always been that Apple did not want you to backup your iTunes stuff for some strange reason, so they never put an option in the software itself. Luckily, it is a fairly straightforward task! First, make sure iTunes is closed. Then, navigate to your Music folder. Under your Music folder, you will see another folder named iTunes. This is the folder you want to backup. Assuming you have an external hard drive or f lash drive connected with enough space, simply right click on the iTunes folder, and select Send To and then your external device from the pop-up menu. Depending on just how much music you have as well as the speed of the external device, this could take quite a while. You will be able to see quickly, though, from the status window

just how long it is estimated to take. Good luck! Matt Dear Computer Pro, With graphics cards being so scarce these days, what do you recommend folks do that have a child that wants to get into gaming? Thanks, Christine Dear Christine, Not only are the graphics cards scarce, even if you do find one with a reputable retailer, they are still grossly overpriced. And it is not the retailer that is making the money on them, it is that they are overpriced in distribution, as well. The trickle-down effect . . . Many folks that I know that have been PC gamers for a while have decided to try console gaming again. Even though the Xbox Series X and the PlayStation 5 are also difficult to get, they are still much more affordable than the higher end graphics cards. For example, a GeForce RTX 3080 will run you over $1,000 right now at most any

The Pros and Cons of Investment Apps Investing your money is easier than ever in this digital age. Gone are the days of having to call or visit a financial professional in person. Now, most investing can be done online— there are even apps to help you. From apps to help you save your spare change to stock trading apps, there are options out there for multiple financial situations. But not all investing apps are equal, and depending on your goals it might still be a good idea to work with a person instead of an algorithm. Here’s what you should know about the pros and cons of investment apps. Pro: Great for Investment Beginners. If you’re new to investing, using an app may be the right choice for you. Many apps make it simple to invest and choose how to split your assets. Some apps involve a hands-off approach where extra money from your bank account or change from your purchases is invested automatically without any extra effort from you. Others provide educational guidance on investing that can be helpful for beginners. Some apps even use algorithms to help you make investment decisions. Con: Minimal Personal Financial Advice. A con to using

investment apps is that you don’t have the benefit of working with a person who can provide personalized advice and guidance. For those who are just starting out, or have very little to invest, this might be okay. But if you’re looking to start investing large amounts of money, it might be better to talk to a financial professional who can help you sort out your goals and start working toward them. Pro: Low-Hanging Fruit. Another pro of using investment apps is that many of them have low minimums and low or no fees. This makes it easy for those with lower incomes to still participate in investing, and can provide a smart way to save and grow your assets with minimal effort. Some apps allow you to invest as little as five dollars, while others focus on rounding your card purchases to invest spare change. Con: Fees Can Add Up. Even if the fees for investment apps seem low, they can add up when you’re thinking about the returns you’re receiving, especially for small amounts of money. Flat monthly fees for apps can hurt you more than help you. For instance, if an app has a $1 monthly fee, that may seem pretty low. But compare

I am hopeful that the GPU prices will settle back down by the end of the year, but I am not sure they will ever drop down to what their retail prices were pre-pandemic. Even with the cost of electricity so high these days, most of the GPUs are still being snatched up by folks that are trying to mine cryptocurrency.

~ Pets ~ Safe Haven Humane Society WELLS Remember Pumpkin, the kitten found in the woods last September? Upon his arrival at Safe Haven, this adorable little orange tiger’s blue eyes were cloudy. But unlike the typical kitten’s baby blue eyes, Pumpkin’s had a blue haze that sick kitties get. We knew he was going to need extra help, which he received in the form of diagnostic tests, an MRI, countless medications, lonely (but necessary) quarantines, and constant loving care by our team. After extensive testing, he was diagnosed with Lyme disease, hypothyroidism, and the herpes virus. Our cat-care team worked with him diligently, trying different medications and foods and anything they could think of that might help him. By May, we felt it might be best to find a hospice home for him where he could enjoy love and companionship with a family and all the comforts of a real home. He deserved to experience sleeping in a bed with someone, watching television on the sofa, playing and snuggling, and knowing he belonged before his life ended. But suddenly, volunteers noticed that Pumpkin was actually climbing and showing more strength and bounce. With the help of the right medications, this little darling fellow had somehow beaten the odds and become a stable and thriving kitty. Pumpkin will always need a devoted caregiver as his mom or dad.

takes regular medications for his thyroid and other conditions. To keep his immune system strong, Pumpkin also benefits from supplemental powder sprinkled in his meal. His sight will always be impaired, but it doesn’t limit him in any way. This beautiful,

How to Acclimate an Adopted Cat to Its New Home Cats have a special place in the hearts of millions of people. These wily rascals can be flirty, funny, or even aloof. The personality of cats, coupled with their compact size, makes them ideal pets for homes of all sizes. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals says approximately 1.3 million cats are adopted from animal shelters each year. However, of the cats entering shelters, only around 37% are ultimately adopted, according to the National Kitten Coalition. Individuals who adopt cats may want to take every step they can to make the relationship with a new companion animal work. That often means finding ways to help the cat feel comfortable by acclimating it to its new home. The length of time it will take to adjust to a new environment depends on the cat’s temperament. However, these tips can help. Pick a familiar item and bring it with you. Does the cat have a favorite toy, carrier, or scratching post? Moving something into the home that has the animal’s smell may help him or her adjust more quickly. Select a room as a home base. Introducing the cat to the entire home and all of the people

in it can be overwhelming. Rather, select a small room in the home, such as an office or laundry space, that the cat can call home for the time being. With the door closed, this small space can be comforting and let the cat learn the smells and sounds of the home before it ventures into other areas. Remember to visit often and provide plenty of love and affection as tolerated. Avoid lots of traffic. Now is not the time to host a house party. Remove stressors like large crowds, increased foot traffic, and kids’ play dates. Loud sounds and sudden movements can put cats on edge. Don’t force the issue. The kitty will start to come around when he or she is ready. Don’t be compelled to pull the pet out from hiding under a bed or couch; let the cat set the pace. Keep kids away. Young children tend to be boisterous and jerky, which isn’t a good mix with a skittish cat. While the cat is acclimating, keep young children away. When they are introduced, do so in small intervals and supervise carefully so the cat does not get hurt and children are not accidentally scratched or bitten by a scared cat.

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

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

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.

George Edward Hatch, 92 WELLS – George Edward Hatch passed away on August 3, 2022. Born on November 2, 1929, to Gordon and Della (Hennessey) Hatch, George grew up in Westborough, MA, where he graduated from Westborough High School. He was a proud veteran of the Korean Conflict, where he served in the military police. After leaving the army, he was a long-time employee of Bay State Abrasives in Westborough, managing one of the drafting departments until he took early retirement. He continued his education over the years at Worcester Polytechnical Institute. George was predeceased by his wife, Virginia, of nearly 60 years, and his grandson, Michael P. Bame. He leaves behind two children, Jeffrey G. Hatch and Catherine D. Bame. He also leaves behind four grandchildren

and seven great-grandchildren: George Allen Hatch and his wife, Ashley, and their three children, Madison, Lyla, and Landen; Jonathan Jeffrey Hatch and his wife, Meaghan, and their two children, Cameron and Nolan; Carolyn Victoria Hatch and her husband, Erik, and their two children, Nora and Evelyn; and Lauren Bame Carney and her husband, Christopher. During their life together, George and Virginia were blessed to help raise their nephew, Lorne C. Thayer. George was a loving father and husband who fully supported his wife and children. He was integral to fulfilling Virginia’s desire for horses and was a gentleman farmer in Woodville, MA, while also supporting his children’s endeavors, never missing their sporting events. He was a scout master for many years. Ultimately, George and Virginia moved to Wells where he and Virginia spent the last years of their marriage gaining many new friends in the Wells and Ogunquit area. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, August 13, 1 p.m., at the Ogunquit Baptist Church, 157 Shore Road, Ogunquit. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to www.travismillsfoundation.org.

FINANCE & CAREER Cash Flow Mgmt. Depleted Emergency Savings? Workshop

NATIONWIDE T he devastat i ng eco nomic effects of COVID-19 have forced millions to live off emergency savings. But as the pandemic continues to roil the financial lives of Americans, many have reached their limits and are wondering where to turn to next. Michael Sullivan, a personal financial consultant with Take Charge America, a national nonprofit credit counseling and debt management agency, advises people to stow away at least three to six months’ worth of living expenses in a liquid account. “Emergency funds are just for that – emergencies,” he said. “We’re reached a point where many people who had fully funded their emergency stash are now running low because of economic and job instability. In these situations, some creativity and new spending habits are required.” To avoid falling deeper into debt, Sullivan offers these tips: Slash your budget - Get out the sheers and eliminate everything that isn’t necessary to free up as much cash to make your payments and rebuild your emergency fund while staving off additional debt or bankruptcy; Sell stuff - Consider selling used items from around the house you no longer need. Online platforms like Facebook Marketplace, eBay, and OfferUp are great places to put items up for sale; Pause retirement savings - If you’ve kept up with retirement savings, now is a good time to hit pause. This could temporarily free up several hundred dollars to reallocate toward your emergency fund; Negotiate bills - Many routine bills from cable to auto insurance can be renegotiated to free up additional money. All it takes is a little research and some phone calls to ask for and secure lower rates; Call lenders for help - Call creditors and ask about credit hardship programs. These programs usually last only a few months but temporarily lower interest rates and credit limits while waiving fees, allowing payments to apply to your principal; Side hustle - Bringing in extra cash with a side hustle also will go a long way to replenishing your emergency fund. In addition to gig-work opportunities through services like DoorDash or TaskRabbit, several retailers are hiring part-

time workers. If you have the skills, you may also consider offering creative services through platforms like Fiverr. Founded in 1987, Take Charge America, Inc. is a nonprofit agency offering financial education and counseling services including credit counseling, debt management, student loan counseling, housing coun-

seling, and bankruptcy counseling. It has helped nearly 2 million consumers nationwide manage their personal finances and debts. To learn more, visit www.takechargeamerica.org or call 888-822-9193. The Weekly Sentinel does not endorse any products or services suggested by third-party sources.

Tips for Finding a Good Work/ Life Harmony NATIONWIDE Olivia Starling, founder and CEO of jewelry brand Starlette Galleria, shares her top tips for business owners struggling to find good work/life harmony. “As I have worked on growing my business these last few years, I have had the opportunity to learn many hard lessons about work/life balance. While I’m still learning these lessons, I can see that life is happening for me, not to me, and everything ultimately falls into place. Upon meeting more CEOs, entrepreneurs, and business owners, I started to realize that most of them are spinning their wheels with making sales and keeping business going, which is why I decided to take back control of my life and to actually do something about it,” says Starling. Tip #1: Stop striving for balance. True harmony in life is when you accept your life will always have seasons. In some seasons, work might take a stronger priority, and in other seasons, you might find yourself diving deeper into personal relationships. Every season will impose new challenges and all seasons are important in the story of your life. Don’t discount the “less productive” seasons as unimportant. Embrace all of the ways that your life is always out of balance and you will find more peace in the season you are currently in.

Tip #2: Prioritize, prioritize, prioritize. As a CEO, SoloPreneur, or a person in any type of business, you should constantly be looking for your top priorities and delegate the rest out. I’m constantly scanning my business for what is pushing the needle forward and prioritizing that work. The second most important priority is what you love to do in your work. Maybe you can hire someone out for social media, but you really love to connect online. I say do the social media and hire someone to check your emails while you are enjoying what you do. What you do every day shows where your priorities lie, and if you try to do everything, you will accomplish nothing. Tip #3: Say no more often. In 2021, I made a goal to say yes to every opportunity presented to me. This was a drastic change and a big lesson I had to learn about the art of saying no. The biggest lesson I learned was how burnout can affect my whole life, not just business. Although the year was full of excitement and fun, I now realize that every “yes” I said to business opportunities was a “no” to something in my personal life. Saying no is an art and a practice that most people haven’t mastered, but every time you do it, it will get a little easier. Tip #4: Don’t lose sight of

STATEWIDE Business financials are the bane of every owner and operator’s existence. It is often the first thing that is outsourced . . . and then ignored. But understanding the financial side of a small business can provide critical information and insights into its overall health. On Monday, August 15, 2-3 p.m., small-business owners are invited to join Maine SBDC and CEI Bangor as certified business advisor Raynor Large offers a cash flow management webinar in honor of Financial

Awareness Day (August 14). Participants will leave understanding what the various types of financial statements are and why they are important, as well as what basic financial reports they should be familiar with and how to understand a breakeven point. The online event is funded in part through a cooperative agreement with the Small Business Administration (SBA). For more information and to register, email kelsey.riordan@ maine.edu.

your “why.” Many people start their own business for flexibility and freedom, just to realize that they are busier and more bogged down than ever. Make sure you constantly remind yourself of your ultimate goal. Take the vacation. Skip the meeting for your daughter’s recital. Go out for date night. If Americans learned anything this last year, it is that life is precious and your why is so much bigger than business. Tip #5: Give yourself grace. Maybe you took the phone call at dinner, snapped at your kids when you were under pressure, or made a decision that seemed right, but ultimately lost money.

You are human, and forgiving yourself quickly will only free up your mental capacity to move forward with your business. Dwelling on the “should haves” in life will only hold you back from moving forward. I have a practice where I try to talk to myself like I would talk to my daughter if she was in the same situation I’m experiencing. Take some time and reflect, journal, and tell yourself that it is ok, you will do better next time. The Weekly Sentinel does not endorse any products or services suggested by third-party sources.

Kennebunk's Home Instead Welcomes New Owners

Ampion Donates to Eliot Nonproﬁt ELIOT On Thursday, July 21, at a “big check” ceremony at Hammond Park and the Dixon Road Recreation Area in Eliot, Ampion Renewable Energy presented a $5,000 check to Eliot Connects board member Claudia Kaerner, in honor of the southern York County town’s commitment to clean energy. Eliot Connects, an up-andcoming nonprofit that began in February 2021, is a group of community-minded members that initiates programs, events, and fundraisers that support the well-being of Eliot and its residents. Eliot’s partnership with the community solar company began in April 2022 to help improve the town’s sustainability while also offering local residents an opportunity to save up to 15% on their electric bills. In the past four months, the town has successfully enrolled over 50 residents and small businesses in community solar with Ampion. According to Ampion, these entities will generate over 430,000 kWh of clean energy, which is equivalent to planting 5,000 trees or displacing more than 340.5 tons of coal with clean energy. “This donation will help fund our programs and initiatives that will benefit all in our communit y,” said Kaerner. “Knowing that the donation is a direct result of members of our community signing up for a clean energy program makes it that much more meaningful.” Town par tnerships are one of Ampion’s specialities. Ampion has similar partnerships with four other towns, including Gouldsboro, that yield financial and environmental benefits for the municipalities and residents alike. For more information on Eliot Connects, visit www.eliotconnects.org. For more information on Ampion, visit www. ampion.net.

KLT’s Nooney Farm KITTERY Tucked away in the heart of Kittery, across from the Shapleigh Middle School, something special is growing. Teams of farmers, dozens of volunteers, and classes of students are raising produce for restaurants and . . . ADOPT from page 17 Provide a quiet area. Perhaps that first room or a cozy nook can be the cat’s quiet spot. According to cat behaviorist Jackson Galaxy, cats need solitude and quiet time. A box or basket lined with soft, washable bedding in a corner can serve as a place for a cat to retire to. Introduce existing pets slowly. Existing pets should be introduced gradually. Keep a dog confined until the cat feels secure in the home. Two altered cats can become friends in the same home. However, older cats often are more accepting of kittens than other adults. Keep this in mind when making introductions. Cats are happiest when they’ve had time to settle and get used to surroundings in their new home. Once the adoption takes place, give the cat plenty of time to become comfortable in its new environment.

farm markets, growing rows and rows of food to feed the community, and learning about birds, bees, beats, and beans. This is Nooney Farm, the latest project of the Kittery Land Trust (KLT), which has been living up to its tagline of “Saving Land and Building Community” for nearly 35 years. KLT has recently reached 75% of its $1.2 million campaign goal for Nooney Farm and launched the final push to raise the remaining $300,000 from the community at Maine’s Open Farm Day on July 24. KLT purchased Nooney Farm in December 2020 from former owner Jacquelyn Nooney, and in just 18 months has transformed the property into a hub of activity for food production, nature-based education, and outdoor recreation. The trust has been raising funds to cover the purchase, stewardship, and operations of the land and farm buildings. Major suppor t for the Nooney Farm Campaign has come from Jonathan King and Jim Stott, founders of Stonewall Kitchen, who began their successful business by making preserves from their small garden and selling at local farmers’ markets. “We hope our story and the educational experiences that will unfold at Nooney Farm will inspire young people for many generations,” said King. Other major donors to the campaign include Maine Com-

KENNEBUNK Home Instead, a provider of in-home care for older adults, welcomes Tom and Amy Giovannani as the new owners of the Kennebunk office. The office was recently relocated to 71 Post Road in Wells and will continue to serve seniors and their families in southern Maine Amy Giovannani is proud to step into the ownership role of the Kennebunk Home Instead office with her husband, Tom, after filling many roles in the office for the last two years. The Giovannanis have a desire to give back in a meaningful way, and Home Instead’s mission to help seniors remain safely in their home as they age inspired them to join the franchise and its network of care professionals. Amy has a passion and understanding for working with older adults after nearly 25 years of experience of working with seniors and their families. She understands how important it is for older adults to be able to remain in their homes for their physical and mental wellbeing. Amy is also committed to continuous education for care professionals so they can build successful relationships with their clients. She is a support-group facilitator for the Alzheimer’s Association and will host community support groups for those living with dementia. Tom will use his strong background as a business owner, passion for caring for seniors,

and years of volunteer work in the community to help grow the business. The Giovannanis are looking to grow the business, and the company has immediate openings for full- and part-time care professionals. The positions pay up to $20 and hour and include extensive, ongoing training, flexible schedules, vision, dental, paid time off, and a supportive office team. “Now more than ever, we are experiencing a surge in demand for in-home care services – and the need only continues to grow alongside the aging population,” Amy said. “Our mission at Home Instead is to provide the highest-quality care for seniors and ensure they are able to age confidently at home. The service and companionship that our care professionals provide play an important role in helping to combat isolation and loneliness, both of which have become particularly prevalent in the past few years.” Along with personalized care, Home Instead provides resources and materials to families in the community. These resources offer information and guidance on aging-related issues. Much of these materials are free and available to anyone through the office website.

State Championship Yacht Race Held in York!

YORK Agamenticus Yacht Club (AYC) in York Harbor, in conjunction with the town of York, hosted the Maine State C420 Championships on August 1-2. Thirty boats from nine different clubs throughout the state were launched off of York Harbor Beach to race in the waters off of Long Sands beach for the twoday regatta. The town of York was afforded the opportunity to host the championship by virtue of sailors from AYC, Grace Gear and Calvin May, winning last year’s championship at Prout’s Neck Yacht Club. Gear is the coach for the AYC sailing team this year; and May, who does freelance work as a photographer and videographer, photographed the event. This year’s winning boat was from Boothbay Harbor Yacht Club and was skippered by Toby Clarkson and crewed by Piper Carleton. AYC’s top boat was sailed by William Gear and Trey Penna and finished fifth overall, taking top-ten positions in six of the eight races. Charlie Newton, Ollie May, Hailee McSweeney, John O’Rourke, Katy Hassanein, and Max Petrillo led the rest of the AYC fleet to strong finishes in ideal sailing conditions. A great deal of planning by the town and club members allowed for transportation, stor-

age, and launching from York Harbor beach of the 30 boats, as well as the housing of 60 athletes and their coaches. Elliott Gear, chair of the race committee, commented on the good fortune weather-wise, saying, “We planned for a lot of variables,

including challenging weather. We were fortunate to have great launching and sailing conditions as well as the support of the town of York. York Parks & Rec and all of York’s emergency services were prepared for a number of variables, and that preparation

Let’s Yack About Kayaking Kayaking is a healthy and enjoyable activity that attracts new enthusiasts all the time. Part of what makes the sport so popular is the relative ease with which people can get started. Kayaking requires minimal gear (kayaks can be rented if not purchased), and no advanced skills are required. However, kayaking is not to be taken lightly, as water sports can be unpredictable. Adhering to certain dos and don’ts can make kayaking safer. Do: choose the right boat. There are boats rated for kayak racing and those that are strictly for recreational purposes. Some boats are meant for calmer waters and others for waves and open seas; let someone know where you’re going and how long you plan to be out on the water; dress for the water temperature and not the weather outside. This helps ensure your health if you inten-

tionally or accidentally enter the water; expect to get wet, even if you do not fall in. Splash up will occur from paddles and some water will get in the boat regardless; bring a fellow kayaker along. Whether you’re a novice or a seasoned professional, bringing a friend along ensures someone can go for help if you’re involved in an accident or suffer an injury. Don’t: forget to check the weather forecast before heading out in the water. Storms can come up relatively quickly, and offshore winds can make it challenging to paddle back to shore; touch or get too close to wildlife, as animals can be unpredictable and even dangerous; skip wearing a life jacket/buoyancy aid; forget to bring along some snacks and water. Adhering to certain dos and don’ts can make kayaking safer and more enjoyable.

was critical for a safe and fun event.” Agamenticus Yacht Club is a nonprofit community-centered 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

an active junior summer sailing program focusing on safety, enjoyment, knowledge of sailing, and boat maintenance, and also holds adult sailing lessons and clinics. More information is available at the club’s website at www. aycsail.org.
