North Berwick Police Raising Childhood Cancer Awareness NORTH BERWICK The North Berwick Police Department views itself as a pillar of pride within the Community – representing the values that make North Berwick such a wonderful place to work and live. Over the years they have used their “public platform” to help raise awareness and bring the community together for common goals or causes. Whether it be our assistance in the annual Toys for Tots Drive, their continued support of the Special Olympics, or the Scholarship Fund for Noble graduates seeking a

career in criminal justice – they try to use our platform to promote positive change in the world. March is recognized as Childhood Cancer Awareness Month in Maine. It is nearly impossible to find someone who hasn’t been emotionally affected by cancer in their lives. This doesn’t ring more true than for one of their very own. In 2017 Officer Ashley Sargent gave birth to a beautiful baby boy, Wyatt; only several months later would she be dealing with every new parent’s worst nightmare – a cancer diagnosis. Wyatt was diagnosed with

ATRT – a rare fast-growing cancerous tumor of the brain and spinal cord. Wyatt, the son of two first responders, put up a courageous fight against this disease, but in 2019, at the age of two, he would lose his battle with cancer; leaving his parents, friends, and loved ones with a hole in our hearts that would never heal. For the month of March the North Berwick Police Department will be “Going Gold” in memory of Wyatt, the countless other children See GOLD page 2...

The school is the only certified school of Irish dancing in Maine, and the dancers compete all over New England and place in the Regional Irish Dancing Championships

YORK -

Back in 1971, Mary Andrews and Louise Works saw a need for local ambulance service after a woman had a lengthy wait for the contracted ambulance to arrive, even though she was just down the hill from York Hospital. With an empty garage, a handed down hearse from the Wells Fire Department, a tarp to cover the hearse in the winter and lots of extension cords to keep the heating units in working order, York Ambulance was started with a team of about fifteen volunteers and loads of New England ingenuity.

Today, York Ambulance is comprised of paramedic level, paid licensed professionals who cover the needs of the community “24/7, 365” with only a

small contract with the Town. In 2021 York Ambulance answered over 1,400 calls for various types of support and unlike the early days of the organiza-

tion, many of the care recipients do not get transported and instead receive care in the field. Back in the early days of York Ambulance, Mary got adept at backing the hearse up onto the Port Gas lift, and Louise was famous for riding her bicycle to emergency calls. It is from these strong local roots that our York Ambulance Association is made up of high caliber professionals. With eleven full-time and twenty-one part-time emergency team members, Chief Karen Tucker shared that “unlike fire and police protection, which

March Art Exhibit at the Library KENNEBUNK The Kennebunk Free Library announces its next Speers Gallery exhibit, “Watercolors” by Bob Lown, opening March 5. The exhibit features watercolor paintings of local architecture, beaches, parks and scenery of the greater Kennebunk area. The public is invited to attend an artist reception on Saturday, March 5, 3-5 p.m. in the Speers Gallery. Lown has been painting since 1960. In his younger years when his time was filled with job and family, his painting had to be tucked in between other priorities. Upon retirement in 1995 Lown was able to paint more regularly. Though mostly self-taught, Lown has been able to take courses from various artists while on vacation and in retirement. Some memorable teachers were George Shedd, Carlton Plummer, Phoebe Flory, Russell Whitten, Carl Schmaltz, and Dewitt Hardy. Lown is also an

active member of the Art Guild of The Kennebunks and has exhibited several times before at the library. The exhibit will run until the end of March at 112 Main St., Kennebunk, during regular hours when the gallery is not in use for programs. For more informaiton, visit www.kennebunklibrary.org.

~ News ~ New FirstNet Cell Sites to Support First Responders STATEWIDE Maine’s first responders are getting a major boost in their wireless communications thanks to the FirstNet® network expansion currently underway by AT&T. They’ve added new, purpose-built cell sites located in Ogunquit, Bucksport, and Naples, which will cover surrounding areas, neighborhoods and businesses. These new sites are giving first responders on FirstNet – America’s public safety network – access to always-on, 24-hours-a-day priority and preemption across voice and data. AT&T also recently added new cell sites in Ellsworth, Rockland and Sanford to enhance the area’s 4G LTE coverage and help give customers faster, more reliable wireless service. This enhancement brings Band 14 spectrum to the area, which is the nationwide, high-quality spectrum set aside by the government specifically for FirstNet. From 2018 to 2020, AT&T expanded coverage and improved connectivity in more communities by investing nearly $150 million in its wireless network in Maine. AT&T completed updates to over 150 recently acquired, existing cell sites across central and northern Maine in 2021. As of December 2021, AT&T is now Maine’s largest network. Why is this important?

FirstNet is considered the most important wireless network in the country because it serves first responders. And unlike commercial networks, FirstNet provides dedicated mobile broadband. So that AT&T and the First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet Authority) are putting coverage and capacity where first responders need it most, the FirstNet build is guided by direct feedback from state and public safety officials. This helps ensure Maine first responders connect to the critical information they need – every day and in every emergency. How does this help Maine residents? This new infrastructure will help improve the overall coverage experience for AT&T wireless customers in these areas. Residents, visitors and businesses can take advantage of the enhanced 4G LTE coverage, as well as Band 14 when capacity is available. What is FirstNet? FirstNet is the only nationwide, high-speed broadband communications platform dedicated to and purpose-built for America’s first responders and the extended public safety community. Shaped by the vision of Congress and the first responder community following the 9/11 terrorist attacks, FirstNet stands above commercial offerings. It is built with AT&T in public-private partnership with the FirstNet Authority – an independ-

ent agency within the federal government. The FirstNet network provides public safety with truly dedicated coverage and capacity when they need it, including unique benefits like always-on priority and preemption, and high-quality Band 14 spectrum. These advanced capabilities enable FirstNet to help fire, EMS, EMA, law enforcement and 9-1-1 personnel save lives and protect their communities. For more information, check out www.firstnet.com.

OPA Presents Myrna Loy Film Series in March India. He begins an affair with a married British noblewoman (Myrna Loy) until all lives are changed by a massive earthquake and flood. Myrna Loy delivers one her most sensitive and in-depth dramatic performances, achieving another career breakthrough. Co-starring George Brent and a strong cast of supporting players, the most significant co-star here is probably the special effects, which won the first-ever Oscar® in that category. The Thin Man (1934) will be shown on March 13. This American pre-Code comedymystery was based on the novel by Dashiell Hammett. What makes the film so entertaining is not the unraveling of the murder but the movie’s central relationship of Nora and Nick Charles, one that redefined the screen depiction of marriage.

William Powell and Myrna Loy developed a bantering screen chemistry of charming, lighthearted repartee as the basis for the dynamic husband-and-wife detective team. The film was a huge hit, followed by five equally successful sequels. On March 20, The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer (1947) tells the story of the infatuation of a teen-age girl (Shirley Temple) for a determined bachelor and ladies’ man (Cary Grant) that leads him into a reluctant but deepening relationship with her older sister and local court judge (Myrna Loy.) The award-winning screenplay gives Loy and Grant fast-paced and delightful opportunities to make the most of the hilarious ensuing complications and entanglements. The production suffered many problems, including Grant’s unhappiness with his fellow actors,

bility to the film. She is one of the few we do not suspect in the star-studded cast, which includes John Gavin, Herbert Marshall, Roddy McDowall, and Hermione Baddeley. Seating in the Dunaway Center is socially distanced and masks are required. Admission, parking and popcorn are all free.

York Organizations Offer Free Nature Playgroup YORK On Monday mornings, visitors to York Land Trust’s Fuller Forest Preserve may encounter a group of young children and their caregivers exploring the trail system, having story time, singing songs, throwing sticks in the river, learning about wildlife behavior, and building fairy houses. This Nature Playgroup program, led by White Pine Programs and in partnerships with York Land Trust and York Parks and Recreation Department, enables families to start their week with some guided time in nature. “Providing an opportunity for people of all ages to connect through shared experiences in nature is what White Pine is all

about,” explained White Pine Programs Executive Director, Heather Campbell. “New parents have been especially impacted by social distancing during the pandemic and this program presents a low-risk and inspiring environment for families to gather. While walking a trail, creating nature art or identifying tracks, the stress of everyday life takes a pause and parents get a mental break. In addition, our youngest community members make new friends, build their confidence being outdoors and feel empowered to engage with nature. We are incredibly grateful to the York Land Trust and York Parks and Recreation for their partnership and for inviting us to lead this program.”

OGUNQUIT Myrna Loy was one of Hollywood’s most popular actresses of the late 1930s and maintained that stardom for decades. Originally typecast in exotic roles, often as a vamp, she achieved stardom following her portrayal of Nora Charles in “The Thin Man” series of six films, confirming her as an enduring favorite of movie audiences around the country. This classic film series features four of Myrna Loy’s most popular films with one screening per week on Sunday afternoons at 2 p.m. throughout the month of March at the Dunaway Center, 23 School Street in Ogunquit. The series begins on March 6 with the film, The Rains Came (1939). A lavish and expensive prestige picture, stars Tyrone Power as an Indian doctor in the mythical city of Ranchipur,

with the director, and with the producer. Nevertheless, Loy once again demonstrated her ability to achieve remarkable on-camera chemistry with her leading man; they immediately were re-teamed for the studio’s equally successful “Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House” in 1948. The last film in the series will be Midnight Lace on March 27. Myrna Loy assumes a supporting role in this 1960 suspense mystery, beautifully filmed in London, and starring Doris Day and Rex Harrison. When the American wife (Day) of a wealthy London-based financier (Harrison) starts receiving frightening phone calls, she believes her life is in danger, but when she protests to her family following a near-fatal accident, they and the police doubt her claims and even her sanity. Portraying Day’s wealthy and free-spirited aunt, Loy brings both sparkle and sta-

A First Look at the Preble Site with Tad Baker

YORK T h i s pa s t f a l l a nd winter, archaeological excavations took place on the historic Preble homestead in York Village, prior to the construction of a subdivision. The property was first occupied by the Preble family in 1642, and they remained there for more than 200 years. The Preble garrison was one of only three fortified houses in York that withstood the 1692 Native American raid that destroyed much of the town. Project volunteer Tad Baker presents his historical research on the property, as well as some initial information on the archaeological discoveries, which includes the remains of several early Preble homes, and the fortified walls that protected them in 1692. Emerson “Tad” Baker is a professor of history at Salem State University and has previously served as vice provost as well as dean of the School

of Graduate Studies. He is the award-winning author of many works on the history and archaeology of early New England, including A Storm of Witchcraft: The Salem Trials and the American Experience. He directed the Old Berwick Historical Society’s Chadbourne Archaeology Project and has co-authored with Nina Maurer, Forgotten Frontier: Untold Stories of the Piscataqua, which draws upon artifacts from that dig to tell the story of the people of the Piscataqua region in the seventeenth century.

are recognized as an essential service by the Federal Government, Emergency Medical Services (EMS) have been left to the local government to determine if they are essential. Maine is not one of the thirteen states in the Country to mandate that each town has their own EMS Service, unlike the Police and Fire Departments, we are not fully subsidized by the town.” Eric Bakke, President of York Ambulance, commends the whole team for their ongoing efforts and commented that “the staff continues to provide remarkable care during the pandemic. Most of the board spends their time managing the economics of running a non-profit

organization. Payor sources are outdated and not keeping up with the rising costs which is frustrating for a service we all need and value.” With the rising cost of the equipment to continue to support the emergency teams in the field, York Ambulance is initiating an outreach to increase community awareness and welcomes donations which are the backbone of the organization. York Ambulance Association, Inc. is a 501(c)3 nonprofit serving the communities of York, South Berwick, and Rollinsford, NH.

People and Business Profiles

New Team Members at Century 21 Atlantic Realty YORK Century 21 Atlantic Realty is pleased to announce that Associate Broker Ann DiMascio and Associate Broker Jack Hathaway have joined their team in York (pictured). Ann DiMascio has been a full-time Century 21 agent in Massachusetts – however, as a vacation property owner in York Beach, she decided to acquire her Associate Broker license in Maine and join Century 21 Atlantic Realty in the next step of her career. “An honest and trusted partner is the key ingredient to a good relationship,” said DiMascio. Thirty-plus years in law enforcement enables her to bring guidance, compassion, and unmatched negotiating skills to every client experience. “During intense times of hope, stress, and fear, I am the beacon of trust,” she said. Helping people is what she loves to do and is a part of who she is.

Jack Hathaway attended the University of New Hampshire where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, and where he also met his future wife, Elizabeth. After graduating, Hathaway pursued a career in the financial services industry including serving as VP of Finance at Citizens Advisers in Portsmouth, NH. In 2003 the Hathaways moved to Massachusetts where he served as the Finance Director and Town Administrator for

the Town of Norfolk for 15 years, and where they raised their two children. They returned to York in 2018 to be near Elizabeth’s parents. Hathaway has now earned his NH Salesperson license and Maine Associate Broker license, and is eager to work with the team at Century 21 Atlantic Realty. Century 21 Atlantic Realty is located at 433 Route 1, Cottage Place, Suite 101, York. For more information, visit www.c21atlantic.com or call 207-363-4053.

Acton Academy Expanded Middle & Elementary Programs KENNEBUNKPORT In September of 2020, the Stack family officially opened the doors of Acton Academy Kennebunkport, a learner-driven micro school founded on the core philosophy that each child is a genius who can change the world. Their goal is for each child to discover their unique talents and passions while providing practical experiences that enable learners to understand where these abilities and genius can be applied in the real world. Acton students are independent learners who have found great joy and success in this tight-knit community, and they are ready to grow. In the 2022-2023 school year, Acton Academy Kennebunkport will be expanding to include learners from kindergarten through grade eight, with studio space for lower-elementary, upper-elementary, and middle school students. This growth is part of the natural progression of the school, which plans to add high school level programming in the near future. Kori Stack, who has a Masters in Education and is co-founder and Head of School at Acton Academy Kennebunkport, is driven by the desire to make education relevant and engaging for learners. Stack states, “Next year, I’m excited to open our doors to even more students, and to be able

to offer them meaningful, handson experiences. For example, our whole school just got back from an incredible overnight class trip to New York City, because why just read about Ellis Island when you can experience it? I want more of that; I want to make learning come alive for more students. Learning takes hold in these relevant experiences, not from how many facts you can regurgitate on a test. Learning should be fun and you should feel it come alive!” In addition to full-time educational enrollment, Acton Kennebunkport offers a variety of programming open to members of the community at large. Local families can take advantage of Summer Camp programming, which offers immersive outdoor learning to children aged 5-14, three days a week. Additionally, those looking to find more opportunity for their children to reconnect with nature throughout the school year can enroll in nature programs, with options for children aged 0-14. Acton Academy Kennebunkport is part of the Acton Academy network of schools. The first Acton Academy was founded in 2009 in Austin, TX, and there are now more than 250 schools located in more than 20 countries around the world. “What I love about Acton is the incredible network of schools to share and learn from,

but it’s not about being identical. Each Acton shares the same set of core beliefs, implementing them in unique was that fit their particular community,” states Stack. At Acton Academy Kennebunkport the model for learning includes: Deep Socratic discussions about heroes, history, and self-governance to hone critical thinking skills and the ability to think, write and speak in a powerful way; Hands-on project-based Quests to master the tools and skills needed to solve problems in the real world; The latest in educational technology for self-paced mastery of reading, writing, and math skills; Student agreed upon written promises and covenants that form a tightly bound community of individuals learning to form authentic friendships and honestly resolve interpersonal problems; Children of mixed ages learning together in the same classroom. Teachers acting as ‘guides’ instead of lecturers; A once weekly, full-day outdoor program where students engage with and learn from nature with an experienced and passionate outdoor guide; More information can be found at www.actonkennebunkport.org.

International Women’s Club Supports Local Charities YORK COUNTY The International Womens Club of New England includes members from all around the seacoast of Maine and New Hampshire. Each year the club chooses local organizations to help fund, where their donations would have the most impact on women and children. On Saturday, January 22, the club held their annual meeting at the York Harbor Inn to distribute a total of nearly $17,000, raised during 2021, to four selected organizations, including Youth Journalism International, Oyster River Womenade, Finding Our Voices, and Grahamtastic Connection. Representatives of each of these organizations were invited to talk about their goals and accomplishments. Youth Journalism International connects student writers, artists, and photographers with peers around the globe, teaches journalism, fosters cross-cultural understanding, and promotes a free youth press. They teach students about reporting, writing, storytelling, and ethics using real world experience. Oyster River Womenade, located in Durham NH, provides assistance to community members in times of hardship. They assist when no other resources are available, helping commu-

nity members get through short term crises, whether paying for heat, rent, or a car repair. Finding our Voices - Breaking the Silence of Domestic Abuse utilizes survivor voices to educate the public about the complexity and pervasiveness of domestic abuse, to help girls and women recognize, avoid, safely leave, and heal from dangerous relationships. They strive to bring about systemic change for more accountability, justice, and safety for women and children. Grahamtastic Connection provides free technology to children with cancer and other serious illnesses to support their education, as well as their social, and emotional well being. Technology, including iPads, laptops, robots, and Internet access enables the children to continue their education during treatment while also remaining connected to family, friends, and medical providers. The club members are in the process of choosing new charities for 2022 and will spend the year fundraising through various activities, including a fashion show in May at Wentworth by the Sea and a holiday craft fair in November at First Parish Congregational Church in York.

Maine National Guard Receive Top Conservation Award WASHINGTON, D.C. U.S. Senators Susan Collins and Angus King, a member of the Senate Energy & Natural Resources and Armed Services Committees, recently congratulated the Maine Army National Guard for receiving the Secretary of the Army’s Environmental Award for Natural Resources Conservation in the Small Installation category. This award is the Army’s highest honor for outstanding environmental stewardship and leadership, and is presented to one small Army installation every year on the forefront of the Army’s effort to protect both America’s national security and the health of our environment. “Maine has a long history of both environmental conservation and contributing to America’s national defense, so it’s no

surprise that the Maine Army National Guard excels in both respects,” said Senators Collins and King. “The Maine Army National Guard’s selection for the Secretary of the Army’s Environmental Award for Natural Resources Conservation shows their exemplary conservation efforts, and is a true testament to the hard work and commitment of all Maine’s Guardsmen and women. We congratulate everyone who helped earn this award, and look forward to the continued work of the Maine Army National Guard to keep our country safe and our land and air healthy.” The Secretar y of the Army’s Environmental Award for Natural Resources Conservation program was established in See GUARD page 20...

~ Pets ~ BBB Scam Alert: Lost Pet? STATEWIDE Posting on social media is a great way to alert a wide range of people about a lost pet. Unfortunately, that same publicity can put you at risk for scams. Con artists comb social posts to find targets who have lost their beloved pets. How the scam works You recently lost your pet, so you turn to social media to alert friends and neighbors. You create a public post – or even a group – to help spread the word. You share your phone number and other details, so people can easily reach you. A few days later, you get a text message from someone claiming to have found your lost dog or cat. You ask them to describe your pet and/or send a photo, but the conversation quickly takes a strange turn. The scammer will give excuses, such as being out of town or not having a working smartphone, for why they can’t snap a photo. Instead, the person will pressure you for money (or a gift card) to return your pet. Although you may be tempted to do anything to see your dog or cat returned safely, don’t pay up! The scammer doesn’t have your pet. They will just take the money and dis-

appear. In other cases, the pet has actually been stolen, and the scammer will ask for payment for the safe return-- or they may try to sell your pet online to another person. Follow these tips to prevent falling victim to a pet loss scam: Limit the information in your social posts: If you post on Facebook or other social media, omit information about unique physical attributes. This can help you verify if someone really found your pet. Watch for spoofed numbers: If you get a call from someone claiming to have your pet, ask them for a phone number where you can call them back. Scammers often spoof phone numbers, so they appear to be calling from somewhere else. Ask for a photo: If a caller claims to have your pet in their possession, ask them to send a current picture. If the “finder” gets defensive or makes a lot of excuses, it’s a red flag. Never wire money or use a prepaid debit card to pay anyone you don’t know. This is the same as sending cash. Microchip and/or ID tag your pet: Consider having your veterinarian microchip your pet, and make sure they always wear a collar and ID tag. Newer ID tags with GPS trackers can be purchased, to find your pet’s location. Call the police if your pet was stolen, or if you see that someone else is trying to sell your pet online.

Animal Shelters Could Use Your Help! STATEWIDE Many shelters may be at capacity with dogs, cats, or rabbits in need of a home. This is putting a strain on the staff and on the animals. Because of

this scenario, area shelters are asking pet lovers for some help. Fostering a pet may be the ideal stress reliever. If you could use some tail wagging happiness or a purr-fectly content companion, reach out to a local shelter to see how you can help by fostering. T he Bet ter Busi ness Bureau has some tips when volunteering to help a shelter: Consider your time. Be ready to devote 30-60 minutes a day to pet care, walks, etc. Think about the best way to involve the whole family for daily care from feeding, to walking, to playing and keeping an eye on the pet. If you are working from home, can you keep your fostered guest entertained while

on a conference video or audio call? Con sid e r you r s pa ce. Many breeds, larger ones especially, need a lot of room to run and play. Do you have a yard or a nearby park where your new pup can get lots of exercise? Consider your family. If you have young children at home, a puppy may be a handful. A grown dog with a calm temperament might be a better choice. Consider other pet family members. Are your other pets willing to bring in another member to the pack? Carefully think about temperament and if there are enough places in the home for them to be apart when necessary.

Safe Haven Humane Society WELLS We want to make life really wonderful for our sweet Fiona. This lovely tiger kitty is less than two years old and is as sweet as can be. She loves people and craves attention. She wants and needs a long-term foster home with someone who will give her the companionship and affection she deserves. A ba nd oned outd oor s, Fiona was rescued by Safe Haven and her initial health exam’s bloodwork revealed she had Feline Heartworm, which might shorten her life. But then again, it might not. There is no way to predict her future. We simply need to wait and pray to see how her life unfolds. Fiona requires no special care. Feline Heartworm has no cure, thus she needs no medication except for a monthly Revolution Plus, which is easily applied to her neck, and an annual checkup at our vet -- all of which is paid for by Safe Haven! We all know that a happy, healthy environment boosts the immune system, and

a strong immune system can help beat disease. So a happy home for Fiona is the best Rx for her -- as soon as possible! Safe Haven will continue to pay for all her needs. Fiona just wants you to supply the cuddles, hugs, and playtime. Call Nancy at 207-2297094 if Fiona sounds like a kitty that you could give your heart to. Fiona is ready and waiting. She’s lonely for affection, and she needs you now! Safe Haven’s Shop is having a big sale to get ready for spring. All men’s, women’s and children’s shoes and boots are 50% off. Selected Ladies handbags marked with our yellow sticker are 50% off. So are framed art and prints. Vintage Fostoria glassware, on display in several spots, is also discounted to 50% off.

The shelter itself is open to meet the kitties by appointment only. We always need donations of cat food (Friskies and Fancy Feast), any kind of kitty litter, cat treats like Temptations and laser toys are especially loved by the kitties!

Dear Computer Pro, I have not updated the operating system on my MacBook Pro for many years and now I can no longer log into my bank account with Safari. I checked to see if there are any updates, but it does not show me anything. Is there a secret way to get an update? Thanks, Mary Dear Mary, Unfortunately for users of Macs, if you do not keep up to date with your macOS updates, you very well may be left behind! I am not sure why Apple does this because getting the updates is quite easy, though it can take a long time to bring you up to the most current version that your device will support. The first thing you need to do is click on the Apple icon in the top left of your menu bar and then click on ‘About this Mac.’ The first thing in the main part of that window in big letters is your current macOS version such as Snow Leopard, Yosemite, High Sierra, etc. with the version number below it like 10.6.X, 10.10.X, 10.13.X, etc. Take note of the version number. If you are running anything below High Sierra (10.13.X), you should first upgrade to High Sierra and, from there, you can update to

~ Ask The Computer Pro ~ the most current version that it supported by your hardware. Next, open Safari and go to: https://support.apple.com/ en-us/HT211683. The title of this page should be ‘How to get old versions of macOS.’ As soon as that page loads, scroll down to the section titled ‘Check compatibility’ and, starting at the top, click on ‘hardware requirements’ link beside ‘macOS Big Sur 11’. Scroll down and look for your particular MacBook to verify it is supported. If you do not find your device listed, go back to the list of versions, and click on the next oldest macOS version’s hardware requirements link. Once you find your hardware in the list of supported hardware, make note of that version, and click back to the first page. At this point I highly suggest making a Time Machine backup of your MacBook just in case anything goes wrong. From this backup, you can restore everything including apps, documents, pictures, and even settings. If you choose not to back things up at this point, consider yourself warned. Next, scroll down to the ‘Use Safari to download macOS on your Mac’ section. If your current version is anything older than High Sierra

Dear Computer Pro, I keep getting messages on my MacBook Air that I am running out of space. I have not been able to upgrade to Monterey and I am starting to get annoyed. What is the easiest way to free up some space? I have the 2018 model with 121 GB Flash Storage. Thanks, Ernie Dear Ernie, I cannot, for the life of me, figure out why Apple makes any of their MacBooks with the 128GB flash drives. While I will happily walk you through how to free up some space, if you use that for anything other than

(10.13.X), click on the link for macOS High Sierra. This link will open the App Store on your Mac right to the High Sierra update! Simply click on the ‘Get’ button and the update will begin downloading. After the download completes, you will simply follow the normal instructions in the installer that opens automatically. If you are already running High Sierra or newer, you can now click on the link for the latest macOS version that your device supports. It will work just like the previous instructions for High Sierra and should be a straightforward install. I recommend the average user wait about six months before upgrading to a new macOS version like Big Sur or Monterey. This time allows both Apple and the manufacturers of other software you may use some time to work out any kinks that may leave you in a pickle if things do not work! Good luck, Matt

email and web surfing, you are going to want to bring it to someone to upgrade that storage to at least 256GB. The easiest way to see what is taking up your space is to click on the Apple icon in the top left of your menu bar and then click on ‘About this Mac.’ Next, click on the ‘Storage’ section at the top of the window to display your f lash storage and then the ‘Manage…’ button on the right side of the window. Then, click on ‘Applications’ in the left pane. In the right pane, you will notice a list of all the applications that are installed as well as how much space each one is consuming on your drive. If you click on the column header ‘Size,’ you can quickly sort the list by size to find the apps taking up the most space. To remove an app that may be taking up space that you are not using, click on that app and then click on the ‘Delete’ button at the bottom right of the window. This sends the application to the ‘Trash.’ Once you are done removing all the unwanted applications, click on ‘Documents’ in the left pane and then ‘Downloads’ in the right pane. If there is one area in both Mac and Windows machines that gets the least amount of attention, it is the downloads section. Again, sort this list by ‘Size’ or even ‘Last Accessed’ to find all those files you have downloaded and never use and delete them the same way as you deleted the applications.

Global Tensions Push Oil Prices Higher, and Pump Prices Follow AARP Tax-Aide at Kittery Comm. Center

Uncertainty over Russia’s intentions toward Ukraine is contributing to higher crude oil prices, which today hit $90 per barrel. Russia is a member of OPEC+, and any sanctions based on their actions toward Ukraine may cause it to withhold crude oil from the global market. Higher oil prices will lead to higher pump prices for drivers. The national average for a gallon of gas has risen to $3.41, eight cents more than a week ago. Maine’s average current price is $3.44 per gallon, which is three cents higher than one

week ago, and one dollar higher than a year ago. New Hampshire’s average current price is $3.33 per gallon, which is five cents higher than one week ago, and 97 cents higher than a year ago. Vermont’s average current price is $3.45 per gallon, which is six cents higher than one week ago, and $1.04 cents higher than a year ago. According to new data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), total domestic gasoline stocks grew by 1.3 million bbl to 247.9 million bbl. On the other hand, gasoline demand

rose slightly from 8.22 million b/d to 8.51 million b/d. The increase still puts gas demand in a typical range for the winter driving season, which pre-COVID was 8.8 million b/d in mid-January 2020. Continued growth in crude oil prices has helped maintain elevated pump prices. As oil prices hit $90 a barrel, pump prices will likely follow suit. Motorists can find current gas prices along their route with the free AAA Mobile app at www.aaa.com/mobile. The app can also map a route, find discounts, book a hotel, and access AAA roadside assistance.

Sales Set Second-Highest Numbers STATEWIDE R EALTORS® experienced the second-best January sales month on record for single-family existing homes last month. According to Maine Listings, while the statistics technically indicate a decline of 7.2 percent in sales compared to January 2021, overall numbers are still affected by the COVID-19 pandemic years. Madeline Hill, 2022 President of the Maine Association of REALTORS® and Designated Broker at Roxanne York Real Estate on Bailey Island, explains. “Buyer demand remains strong for residential real estate in Maine. Home sales in January 2022 are above the

pre-pandemic January 2020 sales volume by nearly 10% but are 7.2% lower than January a year ago. Markets remain strong statewide but are constrained due to the low availability of for-sale inventory. “Over the past two years, the pandemic has altered the way that households live and work. Remote employment arrangements and increasing sales prices have expanded home search areas, and we’re seeing Maine’s more rural counties rejuvenated by this demand.” The Maine median sales price (MSP) for single-family existing homes rose 14.47 percent to $292, 250 comparing January 2022 to January 2021. The MSP indicates that half of

the homes were sold for more and half sold for less. According to the National Association of REALTORS®, sales of single-family existing homes across the country decreased 2.4 percent in the past year, while the national MSP jumped 15.9 percent to $357,100 comparing January 2022 to January 2021. Regionally, sales in the Northeast eased 8.2 percent, and the regional MSP of $382,800 represents a 6.0 percent rise in prices over that same time period. Added Hill, “Opportunities are available in the marketplace for buyers, and nearly 1,200 households closed on their homes in January—the second-best January since record-keeping began 24 years ago.”

Caution When Using Home Heating Equipment STATEWIDE -

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) is urging the public to use added caution when heating their homes during the winter months, when nearly half (48%) of all U.S. home heating equipment fires occur. Home heating equipment is the second-leading cause of U.S. home fires and home fire injuries, and the third-leading cause of home fire deaths and direct property damage. According to the latest US Home Structure Fires report from NFPA, an average of 45,800 home heating fires occurred each year between 2015 and 2019: resulting in an estimated 480 civilian deaths, 1,350 civilian injuries, and $1 billion in direct property damage. “ D u r i n g t h e c ol d e s t months of the year, home heating equipment kicks into high gear,” said Lorraine Carli, vice president of Outreach and Advo-

cacy at NFPA. “Understanding when and where home heating fires happen is critical, so that they people can take the steps to minimize associated risks and safely heat their homes.” Space heaters are most often responsible for home heating equipment fires, accounting for more than two in five fires, as well as the vast majority of associated deaths (81%) and injuries (80%). “Space heaters can be effective tools for heating smaller areas, but they need to be used with caution and care,” said Carli, pointing to the tragic fire that occurred earlier this month in Bronx, N.Y., which reportedly began with a malfunctioning space heater and resulted in 17 fatalities. A failure to clean equipment was the leading cause of home heating equipment fires. Fires in which a heat source was too close to combustible materials caused the largest shares of

civilian deaths, injuries, and direct property damage. Half of home heating fire deaths were caused by placing equipment too close to things that can burn. NFPA offers these tips for safely heating a home during the winter months: Heating equipment and chimneys should be cleaned and inspected every year by a qualified professional. Keep anything that can burn at least three feet (one meter) away from all heating equipment, including furnaces, fireplaces, wood stoves, and space heaters. Always use the right kind of fuel, as specified by the manufacturer, for fuel-burning space heaters. Create a three-foot (one meter) “kid-free zone” around open fires and space heaters. Make sure space heaters are in good working order and used in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Turn portable heaters off when leaving the room or going to bed. Fireplaces should have a sturdy screen to stop sparks from f lying into the room. Ashes should be cool before putting them in a metal container, which should be placed outside at least 10 feet away from your home. All fuel-burning equipment should be vented to the outside to avoid carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. If you smell gas in your gas heater, do not light the appliance. Leave the home immediately and call your local fire department or gas company. Make sure smoke and carbon monoxide alarms are located throughout the home; test them monthly to ensure that they’re working properly. The Weekly

Health & Fitness More Adults Are Getting Braces NATIONWIDE About 4 million Americans wear braces, but braces aren’t just for kids anymore. Adults account for over 1 million orthodontic patients in the U.S., according to the American Association of Orthodontics. “One of the biggest benefits of tooth alignment at any age is that your teeth will not only look better, but they’ll feel better, too,” says Dr. Rick Mars, a general dentist and the author of “The Big Smile: The Principles of Modern Dentistry – for Dentists and Patients”. “For adults, it’s a second chance to achieve a bright smile and enhance their long-term dental health. Most people don’t realize that teeth do not age, they wear out. Teeth that are aligned properly should last a lifetime if properly maintained. With clear aligner systems, the stigma of adult orthodontics is a thing of the past. Orthodontics has evolved to a point where it’s never too late to get your teeth aligned. But considering all that’s required to make the process a success, a patient must become educated before the treatment and invest the time throughout it.” Dr. Mars offers the following thoughts for adults to keep in mind if they are considering getting braces: The process does not have to take longer for adults “On average, adolescents wear braces for 16 to 18 months,” Dr. Mars says. “Adults on average wear clear aligners by Invisalign® for approximately six months. Long, extended treatment is a thing of the past in most cases.” Be careful about do-it-yourself aligners “Taking the cheapest route possible is not the best option,” Dr. Mars says. Do-it-yourself braces – mail-ordered clear aligners applied at home – are less expensive than traditional braces and growing in popularity, but they pose significant hazards. The American Dental Association and the American Association of Orthodontists have issued consumer warnings against DIY braces. “Do-it-yourself braces is a process that is potentially very harmful to the patient,” Dr. Mars says. “Unsupervised care can lead to tooth extractions, jaw or bite issues and infections. Trained professionals understand all the details about the way gums, bones and teeth move during treatment, and they are the only ones qualified to safely and effectively shift

your teeth. It’s simply not worth the risk to do clear aligners yourself in order to save a few bucks.” Choose the braces that best fit you The average cost for braces is between $3,000-7,000, and the types of braces have expanded in recent years. As an example, Invisalign® features aligners that are clear and fit snugly over the teeth, allowing comfortable and predictable tooth movement. “Many adults prefer them because they are virtually invisible when worn and removable,” Dr. Mars says. “Each aligner is designed to shift your teeth slightly into the desired position.” Traditional options remain but are not the first choice of most adult patients. Metal braces are made from a high-grade stainless steel and are the most common form of orthodontic treatment. Clear ceramic brackets create a much less noticeable appearance,

but break more easily compared to metal braces. Lingual braces have brackets on the back of a patient’s teeth but are more difficult to properly clean. Aligners take more diligence “Aligners need to be worn 20 to 22 hours each day,” Dr. Mars says. “You take them out to eat and brush your teeth, but leaving them off too long will hinder the results. Bottom line, if you wear the aligners, they work wonderfully. Regular checkups “To give yourself the best chance for success, regular checkups are a must, no matter how busy your schedule is,” Dr. Mars says. “Your dentist will make important adjustments and check for issues. Follow your dentist’s orders on foods to avoid. Proper brushing and flossing will help you get a bright smile when you finally have the braces removed.” Dr. Rick Mars (www.dentalcaregroup.net) has practiced patient-centered dentistry in the Miami area for over three decades.

Catholic Schools to Lift Mask Mandate STATEWIDE The Diocese of Portland has notified school communities that it is planning to eliminate the mask mandate in place at Catholic elementary and high schools starting on Monday, March 7. “Though masks will no longer be required, teachers and students who wish to continue to mask will certainly be allowed to do so,” said Marianne Pelletier, superintendent of Maine Catholic Schools. “We chose March 7 to ensure that there isn’t another outbreak or rise in cases upon return to class from the February break that would necessitate the continued use of masks.” The masking policies and safety protocols in place at the diocesan schools have allowed for continuous, in-person education at Catholic schools since September of 2020. “We believe students are best served when learning in

school,” said Pelletier. “Thanks to the understanding, cooperation, and generosity of our school families, faculty, and staff, we were able to continue to provide a safe and healthy school environment for our students. It was a partnership that worked diligently to protect each other and the wider community.” As always, if the number of positive cases surges in a specific town, city, or school, mitigation measures, including mandatory masking, could be reinstated. The schools overseen by the Office of Maine Catholic Schools are All Saints School in Bangor, Holy Cross School in South Portland, St. Brigid School in Portland, Saint Dominic Academy in Auburn and Lewiston, St. James School in Biddeford, St. John’s Catholic School in Brunswick, St. Michael School in Augusta, and St. Thomas School in Sanford.

Partners Bank Donates to York Chamber for Three Computers YORK Partners Bank has agreed to donate $2,247 to the York Region Chamber of Commerce to purchase three new computers. Initially, Partners Bank contributed to the Winter Farmer’s Market in York. However, the event was canceled due to rising COVID-19 numbers. Instead of cancelling the donation, Partners Bank was happy to find another need at the chamber and agreed to increase the sponsorship to cover for three much-needed new computers. “This was a great opportunity to think outside the box and find a way to support a great organization during these troubling times,” said Partners Bank President and CEO, Blaine Boudreau. “Giving back to the

communities in which we serve is part of our mission. The pandemic may stop us from getting together in groups from time-totime, but it does not have to stop us from supporting our community.” The York Region Chamber of Commerce is an independent, not-for-profit, membership organization and is not employed by or financially affiliated with the towns they cover. Their mission is to promote the growth and general prosperity of Southern Maine, representing and assisting member businesses on an individual level in order to benefit the region as a whole.

WAA Announces New Theme NATIONWIDE Each year, millions of Americans come together to remember the fallen, honor those that serve and their families, and teach the next generation about the value of freedom. This gathering of volunteers and patriots takes place in local and national cemeteries in all 50 states - most recently at more than 3,100 participating locations - as part of National Wreaths Across America Day. Each year, a new theme is chosen to help volunteers and supporters focus their messaging and outreach in their own communities. Today, the national nonprofit announces the theme for 2022 is “Find a way to serve.” The inspiration for this year’s theme came from a few different places and seemed to be a recurring conversation throughout the last year. Notably, the American Rosie Movement, whose mission is to find and capture the stories of the World War II-era women known as Rosie the Riveters, or simply “Rosies.” These women pulled together to do the work that needed to be done for our freedom. The movement encourages youth to get involved in their own communities to serve in small ways that can make a big impact. As part of this new theme, Wreaths Across America (WAA) is revamping its educational curriculum working with the American Rosie Movement and other organizations to develop action plans to inspire young people across the country to find a way to serve in

2022 and beyond. “You don’t have to be in military service to serve your community and country,” said Karen Worcester, executive director, Wreaths Across America. “Serving others, or being in service to others, gives purpose and I’ve seen first-hand from Gold Star Families to Veterans, how it can help people heal.” In 2021, more than 2.4 million veterans’ wreaths were placed by volunteers on headstones at 3,136 participating locations around the country in honor of the service and sacrifices made for our freedoms, with each name said out loud. Wreaths Across America volunteers work year-round to ensure military laid to rest are remembered, their families and living veterans are honored, and the next generation is taught about the value of freedom. “Every person has something to give, whether it is their time, ideas, compassion, or resources,” added Worcester. “What can seem like the simplest act or gift, can start a nationwide movement and that is our hope that this theme will spark in people. I think Mother Teresa said it best, ‘the greatest good is what we do for one another.’” This year, National Wreaths Across America Day is Saturday, December 17. It is a free event and open to all people. For more information on how to volunteer locally or sponsor a wreath for an American hero, visit www.wreathsacrossamerica.org.

Biddeford and Mechanic Savings Delivers $25K to Mainers During Winter Months YORK COUNTY In response to the rising cost of home heating oil, the Biddeford and Mechanics Savings Charitable Foundation has donated $25,000 to support the Keep ME Warm Fund, providing direct and immediate home heating assistance to financially vulnerable Mainers. “Making a contribution to the Keep ME Warm program will allow us to help our neighbors when Mainers need it most – during the winter months. No one should have to choose between paying for heat and other essentials like electricity and food. Our hope is that we can make the lives of individuals and families in the communities we serve a little easier this year,” says Jeanne Hulit, President and CEO of Maine Community Bank. A lt houg h t he coldes t months are still ahead, the cost of home heating fuel in Maine has already increased significantly over last year and is expected to keep going up over the winter season. According to The Governor’s Energy Office, the average cost of heating fuel is currently at $3.14 per gallon, compared to $2.11 per gallon one year ago. Thousands of Mainers are faced with choosing between heating their homes and basic needs like

Allan Norris Breen, 73 OGU NQU I T – A l la n Norris Breen died peacefully on Wednesday, February 16, 2022 at the Edith Nourse Rogers Memorial Veterans Hospital in Bedford, MA. Allan was born on March 30, 1948 in Lawrence, MA, to Daniel B. Breen, and Louise Norris Breen. The third of ten children, he was raised in North Andover, MA. He is remembered as adventurous from a young age, and the stories of his exploits with his twin brother Stephen are legendary. He graduated from North Andover High School, where he was a fierce competitor on the basketball court. After high school, Allan enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. He served a tour

of duty in the Vietnam War, and was awarded the Purple Heart Medal. After returning from Vietnam, he was stationed in Cuba. Allan spent time every summer at his grandparents’ house in Ogunquit, where his lifelong love of fishing and the ocean began. He loved striper fishing off the rocks near Little Beach and free diving, where legend has it he could hold his breath from Little Beach out around Lobster Point. Allan met the love of his life, Cathy, in Ogunquit during the summer of 1968 and they married on September 6, 1969. They moved to Lawrence, and in the years following Allan worked as a mechanic and janitor while attending school on the GI bill, earning associates and bachelors degrees. He went on to earn a Masters Degree in Business from Suffolk University in Boston. Allan and Cathy had three daughters, Megan, Laura, and Jenny, who they raised in his hometown of North Andover. He was a loving and proud father, who worked hard to support his family. Fond memories include the green carnations he always brought home on St. Patrick’s Day, Valentine chocolates, jumping waves and swimming together in Ogunquit, and stopping into the many bakeries, stores, and restaurants in the greater Lawrence area where it always seemed like he was friends with just about everybody. Allan worked for the State of Massachusetts Department of Revenue in many different roles throughout his decades long career there. He got his insurance license, and spent many years working a second job at Roberts’ Insurance Agency in North Andover, MA. He was a hard worker and a “people person” who remembered people’s names and loved a good joke

or story. Allan gave freely of his time, and was always helping other people. He volunteered through the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) and was dedicated to helping fellow veterans navigate the VA system and receive their benefits due. He was appointed by Governor King to the Massachusetts Commission for the Concerns of Vietnam War Veterans in the early 1980s. On any given day, you could find Allan helping friends with anything from their income tax returns and insurance forms to their cars and lobster traps. He loved to “make the rounds,” stopping off for a cup of coffee here or a chat there. In recent years, you could find him down at the beach parking lot having coffee with his buddies in the “Ogunquit Stripers Association.” He loved going fishing, clamming, or lobstering with his friends, and especially hearing and telling good stories about all these pursuits. Allan was blessed with six grandchildren, who were known to affectionately call him “Grandpa Sandbar” – a fishing nickname. He loved his grandkids and took them on many adventures. In recent years he enjoyed family trips to Lake Sunapee and Vinalhaven Island, and loved joking with his grandkids and watching them have fun and enjoy a good life. Allan enjoyed a good bet and had an uncanny way of winning. Luck often seemed to go his way. He played cards and darts in the many bars and clubs he was at home in. A sports fan, he especially loved the Celtics in the 1980s, and was often at the Boston Garden. Allan is survived by his loving wife of 52 years, Cathy (Lynk) Breen of North Andover, MA; daughter Megan Zottoli-Breen and husband Brian of

Kittery; daughter Laura (Breen) Brogan and husband Dave of Cape Neddick; daughter Jennifer (Breen) Colen and husband Brad of Macon, GA; brother Daniel B. Breen Jr. of Newbury, MA; brother Stephen Breen and wife Donna of North Andover, MA; sister Margaret (Breen) Chandler and husband Brent of New London, CT; brother Peter Breen and wife Kerry of North Andover, MA; brother Andrew Breen and wife Joan of North Hampton, NH; sister Nancy Breen and wife Eva of Ogunquit; sister Carol (Breen) Boringa and husband Tjitse of Kittery; sister Mary Breen and wife Eileen of South Berwick; sister Susan Breen and wife Mary of North Andover, MA; grandchildren, Lucinda and Aidan (Brogan), Jack and Harrison (Zottoli), and Tyler and Hazelyn (Colen); as well as many nieces, nephews, and friends. Allan’s family would like to thank the wonderful team at the Bedford VA Hospice Unit who cared for him the past three months. In lieu of f lowers, donations can be made to the Disabled American Veterans (www.dav. org). A wake was held Monday, February 21 at the John Breen Memorial Funeral Home, 35 Merrimack St, North Andover, MA. At Allan’s request, there will be no funeral service. • • • • • • • • • •

Why he had friendships and business relations with the heads of the French, Finnish, and Dutch resistances of World War II will always be a mystery, and why he was always sending Morse Code from the family house. He was involved in the designing of products which would help protect soldiers in the military. Both Charlie and Lynn took very seriously their responsibilities to society, volunteering their time for many organizations helping to promote school education, the advancement of literacy, health and the preservation of the environment.

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

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

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

David Surette, 58 SOU T H BERW IC K – David’s signature crinkly-eyed smile was unmistakable. His warmth, curiosity, and humor shone brightly all his life and throughout his six-year journey with cancer. David passed away at home in South Berwick on December 18, 2021, in his favorite spot by his favorite view of the maple trees. His beloved wife of 34 years, Susie Burke, and their daughters Isa, 28, and Julianna, 25, were by his side. David Joseph Surette was born on October 9, 1963, the eldest of five children born to Patricia (née Downing) and Dick Surette in a lively, loving home in North Conway, NH. David spent his childhood skiing, playing baseball, and exploring the woods and mountains of the Mount Washington Valley with his siblings, which set the stage for his lifelong love of nature. As a teenager, David started playing guitar, forming rock bands with childhood friends and playing in the band for musicals at Kennett High School. He attended the University of New Hampshire where he studied English and French and spent his junior year in Dijon, France. David treasured his memories of biking through the French countryside and skiing in the Alps. He remained fluent in French the rest of his life and

passed his love of the language on to his daughters. Family trips to Quebec were cherished opportunities to practice French and connect with his Acadian heritage. It was also in college that David began to devote himself to music. While living with dear friends and fellow musicians in the Newmarket apartment they dubbed the “College of Musical Knowledge”, David picked up the mandolin and dove into the Seacoast NH folk scene. David met Susie at Portsmouth’s Press Room in 1986. Their friendship blossomed into love, and they began a journey as devoted partners in music and in life. Over nearly 35 years, they recorded numerous CDs and played thousands of shows at festivals and venues, with their young children at first in tow and later onstage with them. David was well known for his interpretations of traditional Celtic music on guitar and mandolin, but his musical skills and interests were vast, including folk, bluegrass, old-time, country blues, Indian ragas, and classic rock, all of which inspired his many original compositions. David’s passion for traditional music yielded opportunities to perform and teach in England, Italy, and Brittany, the Celtic region of France. He released several solo albums, appeared on countless releases by other musicians, and created four influential tune books, including his latest French and Italian Tunes for Mandolin and Fiddle. Tributes to David share appreciation for his world-class musicianship, his kindness and humility, and his continued influence on legions of musicians. A sought-after accompanist and collaborator, David’s playing always served to elevate his fellow musicians and the music itself, whether the song called for delicate textures or blazing solos. To play with David was to know that he had your back. A colleague and former student wrote, “You have music inside you that you share with other people, and you listen to and internalize the music in others. You inspire me to think of both music and life this way.” A beloved teacher, David brought the same degree of care to each of his students, whether on their way to a music career of their own or learning their first chords. David and Susie taught at their shared studio and at many music camps in the US and beyond. David also taught for 30 years at New Hampshire’s Concord Community Music School, where he was integral to the development of the Folk Department and produced the March Mandolin festival for 19 years, helping to build a community that he deeply cherished. When lauded at the end of each

Mandolin Festival concert, he responded with a gentle bow, hands clasped together in humility and gratitude. A lover of language and humor, David was known for clever puns and groan-worthy dad jokes. He made a point of remembering people’s names and delighted in coming up with witty nicknames for family friends. An avid reader, David would often reread his favorite books, in particular the Tolkien trilogy, or devour a new music biography or fantasy novel. His wardrobe included many graphic tees and hats, gathered from music festivals, camps, or the occasional beer brand. David had an eagle eye; he was always the first to spot a fox dashing by at the side of the road or a hawk soaring above. This also meant he was the family member who found lost gloves and car keys. He found spirituality and peace in quiet moments outdoors and in the cycle of the seasons. With all his accomplishments, David was most proud of his family. His greatest joy was time spent with Susie and the girls, talking about life, sharing meals, making music as a family band, and taking lakeside vacations full of board games and raucous laughter. David was inspired by his children and treasured every opportunity to support them. He was a devoted dad and husband, beaming that crinkly-eyed grin that conveyed so much love. Throughout his illness, David embodied one of his favorite phrases – “Focus on what you can do, not what you can’t.” He approached his diagnosis with grace and optimism. David received outstanding care at Wentworth Douglass Hospital in Dover, where he played guitar for fellow patients during chemo and greeted nurses with a smile. He formed a strong relationship with his care team, particularly Dr. Henry Sonneborn, who became a friend. David left the world a better place, and now this world has lost some of its sparkle. In addition to his “three girls” — Susie, Isa, and Julianna — David leaves behind beloved family: four siblings, sister Kathleen Surette and brothers Peter, Jim, Steve and their spouses Sharon, Sarah, and Lisa; his siblings-in-law, Eddy, Terry, Chris Burke, and spouses Kathleen, Nick, and Gail; nieces and nephews Liam, Sean, Conor, Gina, Erin, Sydney, Liv, Oliver, and Arthur; and countless musical peers, students, and friends who miss him deeply. Services will be held later in 2022 due to COVID-19, and more details will be forthcoming. Donations to honor David can be made to Concord Community Music School and the Seacoast Cancer Center at WDH.

Their leadership and contributions will continue to leave a lasting impression for years to come!” “It’s quite an honor to be selected and be able to represent our school with this award.” said Ramsdell who has received numerous awards at WHS including Breakfast of Champions, Student of the Trimester, and multiple Book Awards.
