Kennebunk Native Writes from Japanese School Hi From Japan, I am a native of Kennebunk. I have been living and teaching English at a private junior and senior high school in Sendai, Japan, for the past fifteen years. Sendai was near the epicenter of last year’s devastating earthquake and tsunami. As you can imagine, our school and homes were severely damaged by the quake. It has been more than fifteen months since the disaster and although the emotional scars of students and staff alike run deep, there has been a return to normalcy. Aftershocks are constant reminders, even fifteen months later. But overall things are back to a new kind of normal. On a much lighter note, as part of my recent English classroom lessons, I have been making cultural comparisons of the summer vacation routines of American and Japanese students. My students really enjoy cultural comparisons in general, and we often use The Weekly Sentinel as a classroom tool. My dad still bundles them up for me and sends them overseas four or five times a year. It has provided my students enjoyment and learning over the years, and has been a wonderful way for me to share my love of Maine with my students. Together with my students, we have written a letter. It talks about the Japanese school summer vacation system and the education system of Japan in general. I hope your audience will find it both entertaining and informative. From Richard Meres

KENNEBUNK – As most children around the state are settling into their summer vacation routines of sleeping in, cooling off by the pool or at the mall, and watching those summer reruns, I thought it would be interesting to point out how their counterparts half a world away in Japan are spending their summer holiday. First of all, the Japanese academic calendar is quite different from America’s. The school year begins in April rather than late August or early September, and it ends in March rather than June. So essentially Japan has a year round system where students join their new classes in April and move on to the next class or graduate the following March. So summer vacation is more like a midterm break, and respite from the summer’s heat, than a time

OFF THE MAINE COAST – A collaboration of state scientists from several state agencies, universities, and non-profits will head fifteen miles out to sea next week to map the ocean floor off the coast of Maine and to observe sea life in the region. Sailing on the Ocean Survey Vessel (OSV) Bold – the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s only ocean and coastal monitoring vessel – the sixteen scientists and observers hope to map as much as an 800-square-mile area off Maine’s coast at a depth of up
to 300 feet. The five-day research expedition includes scientists from the Maine Department of Conservation (MDOC), the Maine Department of Marine Resources (DMR), and the University of Maine (UM). It is expected to result in significant scientific information that should aide in managing multiple uses of the ocean, such as shipping, fishing, aquaculture, and energy development, as well

180 days in the United States, it goes to reason that vacation time will be shorter. In fact, students in Japan are still in their classrooms now counting down the days to the start of their holiday. Most summer vacations
begin at the end of July and continue for less than a month. For the sake of reference here are some details from the actual school calendar of my See MERES page 8...
Kittery Organizations Compete in Benefit Barbecue Throw Down KITTERY – The first annual Kittery Barbecue Throw Down will be on Saturday, July 14, at 3 p.m. at Kittery Estates, 220 State Road in Kittery. The barbecue battle will be a friendly competition between the Kittery Fire Department, Kittery Police Benevolent Association and Kittery Estates. Teams from the three groups will be competing for bragging rights and a trophy while proceeds will benefit Footprints Food Pantry in Kittery. The public is invited to attend and support their favorite team. Each team will submit their best barbecue ribs using secret rubs and recipes while a team of judges will select the winner. Kittery Estates will offer a drive-through barbecue plate for the public for $5 per person with 100 percent of the proceeds

benefiting Footprints. Judging will take place at 5 p.m. Kittery Estates will also be accepting non-perishable food donations for Footprints. Already the competing teams are posturing. Patrolman Brian Cummer of the Kittery Police Benevolent Association is confident his team will win. “We are looking forward to smoking the Fire Department in this competition,” Cummer says. Barbara Fernald, executive director of Footprints is thrilled to be the beneficiary. “This time of year our Food Pantry is running low and proceeds from this event will allow us to replenish to help many people in need. We are grateful for the opportunity to be aligned with this fun event,” says Fernald. Please contact Kittery Estates at 207-438-9111 with any questions.

Please contact Debbie Duross at (207) 985-5975 or email her at: programs@kidsfreetogrow.org. For more information, visit: www.kidsfreetogrow.org.
York Gateway Farmers’ Market Opens YORK – The first Thursday market of the season kicked off on July 5 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Stop by before work or during your lunch hour to stock up on fresh veggies and fruit, locally raised pork, seafood, herbs, desserts, breads, sandwiches, prepared foods, crafts and more. The Saturday Gateway (York) Farmers’ Market has been running since June 2, and will continue to run every week through October 6. The Thursday market is a great way to beat the Saturday crowds during the busy months of July and August. Both markets are presented by the Greater York Region Chamber of Commerce and sponsored by When Pigs Fly. Steph Oeser, market manager, says, “We’re excited to kick off the second Thursday season. At the end of last season, we tallied up vendor surveys about different aspects of the market and decided to adjust the Thursday market hours to match the Saturday hours. The majority of vendors said they thought 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. would work because our customers are more accustomed to those hours. Hopefully this change will ease confusion and better establish the market in customers’ weekly routines. The Thursday market is still young and growing; we’re looking forward to seeing how this season takes shape.” For more information about the Gateway Farmers’ Market, contact Steph Oeser at the Greater York Region Chamber of Commerce at 207.363.4422 or stephanie@ yorkme.org.

Seacoast Water Garden Club Hosts 7th Annual Pond Tour
YORK – The Seacoast Water Garden Club is hosting its 7th annual pond tour this summer. The tour will run on consecutive Sundays through August 12, each Sunday from noon until 4 p.m.. One or two ponds are open for public viewing. They anticipate a wonderful collection of water gardens this year, ranging from small backyard sanctuaries to a large property with thirteen ponds. Each garden offers a unique example of how a water garden can be created to fit almost any situation. The Club is comprised simply of area people who, as Booker Nevius from the Water Garden Department at Wentworth Greenhouses says, “Love their pond or would love to have a pond.” In 2006, Karen Kiokemeister of York had a new pond built and wanted to share it with others. With Nevius’s help, she gathered together twelve pond owners and launched the first tour. Each year we have a blend of new ponds and vet-

eran ponds to enjoy. You are invited to participate in any or all of these Sunday journeys. The full tour schedule is available online at www.seacoastwatergarden.org. Anyone interested in having a water garden will have a great time getting ideas
and learning about different pumps, filters, and f low dynamics from the hosts. Plant information can be specific to different sites as well, so all questions are welcomed. We will have a water gardening bibliography available at each site.
For more information, contact Bonnie at 603-5572606. A donation of $2.50 per person per pond is appreciated. They are a non-profit organization, and proceeds are given to the York Center For Wildlife www.yorkcenterforwildlife.org. (courtesy photo)
assure they keep up with their studies. Schools remain open during the break to allow students to get their work done, and it is not uncommon to see a school bustling with students over the break. When the students aren’t working on their history reports and math assignments, most of them are putting in extra time with their school club activities. In Japan, students traditionally join a club when entering junior or senior high school and stick with this club until their graduation. Most of these clubs, particularly the sports clubs practice six days a week, including weekends, and practice year round. So, the summer
break offers a chance for more lengthy and rigorous training. Although Japan’s abbreviated summer vacation, and the education system as a whole may seem a bit overwhelming from an outside perspective, you will rarely hear a complaint from students, parents and educators. Schools in Japan tend to be highly organized, safe, and fun places for students to hang out with friends. There is never a shortage of school pride. The education system in Japan seems to produce students with an overall sense of social awareness and community responsibility that plays a tremendous role in shaping the fabric of Japanese society as

a whole. And this strength of character was clearly evident in the country’s response to last year’s earthquake and tsunami disaster. On a final note, it is worth pointing out that students in our area of Japan, an area directly impacted by last year’s earthquake, will be looking forward to getting back to their usual summer vacation routine, as short as it may seem. At this time last year our school, like many of the schools in this area, was closed for repairs and grieving the loss of students and staff. A brief holiday of homework, club activity and quality time with friends is a welcome return to normalcy.

...SEAFLOOR from page 1 as aid in making informed decisions on marine matters and offshore development. “The Bold’s survey work in Maine will provide the Department of Marine Resources with updated data on benthic habitat in parts of the Gulf of Maine with modern mapping technology that provides much greater accuracy than previous mapping efforts, including important lobster fishing grounds and areas proposed sites for wind turbines,” said marine
resources commissioner Patrick Keliher. “The DMR is mounting a multi-beam sonar system that will complement R/V Bold’s existing mapping capability and enable the DMR to obtain information in offshore areas that are difficult to reach in our smaller vessel. “Maine’s ports are already 700 miles closer to Europe and the Middle East than are Southern U.S. ports,” Bill Beardsley, the conservation commissioner, said. “The expanded Panama Canal in 2014 will reduce the super-container ship distances from

Maine ports to China by forty percent. The multiple use of our ocean resources off the Maine coast are evolving and are critical to Maine’s future global economy. We simply need to better understand our offshore submerged lands.” Matt Nixon, Maine Coastal Program senior planner at MDOC and one of three principal investigators on the expedition, said no such collaborative research has ever before been attempted by the State of Maine. “We want to get more accurate information about the ’lay of the land’ of the ocean, much like a surveyor does on land,” Nixon said. “A better picture of what the seafloor looks like provides us with information about marine habitats and species.” The OSV Bold is the EPA’s 224-foot-long research vessel equipped with state-of-the-art sampling, mapping, and analysis equipment. It was docked at the International Marine Terminal in Portland before it shipped out on Tuesday, July 3. It is scheduled to return on Monday, July 9. The scientific party will be led by EPA Chief Scientist Matt Liebman. The two other principal
investigators are Stephen Dickson, Maine Geological Survey marine geologist at MDOC, and Carl Wilson, DMR senior lobster scientist. Other scientists and observers are from the Biodiversity Research Institute, the University of Southern Maine and the University of New Hampshire. The scientists will be divided into three teams; eight members conducting the benthic (seafloor) mapping; two scientists making avifauna (bird and wildlife) observations; and five scientists and observers making observations of large marine mammals, such as whales and dolphins. The primary reason for the research effort, said Nixon, is because the state lacks sufficient data on the ocean floor. In 2009, the state did a needs assessment of its coastal marine data, and “the most important, and by far the largest gap is in this kind of high resolution seafloor mapping,” he said.
“All we have now are depth estimations, 19th-century leadline soundings, and sporadic, high resolution maps focused on very specific, small locations, typically inshore,” the MDOC coastal planner said. “It will be good to have an idea of true depth out there with sound-generated pictures of what the bottom looks like.” The scientists will issue a final report within two months after the trip, including a summary of information collected, plus maps and observations. Much of the data will be available on line as part of a coastal atlas. “It will be exciting to get out on a research cruise like this,” Nixon said. “It will allow us to integrate our knowledge and skills with that of other professionals, enabling us to draw a more comprehensive picture of our marine environment.

Local Farmers’ Markets Offer Fresh, Healthy Options YORK COUNTY – Searching for fresh, nutritious food? Want alternatives to everyday ingredients? To find healthy foods and unique products, you don’t have to look much farther than your “backyard.” Local farmers’ markets provide lessprocessed, flavorful produce and other farm-fresh products that can add variety to your diet and keep you on track with healthy choices. Reasons to Buy Local 1. It comes direct from the farmer or grower. You can trust that the produce is fresh and learn more about where it comes from. 2. The products haven’t had a long journey. At a farmers’ market, it’s safe to assume that the food hasn’t traveled long distances to get there. This reduces energy consumption to transport them
Local Doctor Receives Fellowship KITTERY – Dr. Jeff Donatello recently received a Fellowship in Integrative Cancer Therapies (F.I.C.T) from the American Academy of Anti- Aging Medicine.

and decreases the time between harvest and consumption. 3. Vendors offer recently harvested produce. Reducing the time between when the food is picked and when it is consumed helps ensure that the nutrients have been preserved. 4. It supports the local economy. Many markets put a mileage limit on vendors, ensuring that the food is from the area. By purchasing food at a nearby farmers’ market, you are giving money to neighborhood farmers and stimulating the local economy. 5. Farmers and growers are the best resource. As you are making your food choices, take time to talk to local ven-
dors about their products. Ask them about the growing process and when the food was picked. Many of them are also a great resource for cooking tips, or recipes. 6. You can try new foods. A farmers’ market is a great opportunity to learn about foods you’ve never seen and purchase items that will spice up your refrigerator or kitchen pantry. It keeps your meals interesting. 7. They offer seasonal produce. Vendors offer vibrant fruits and vegetables that change with the season. When foods are in season, they are more colorful and flavorful. At a conventional store, it can be difficult to determine what
foods are in season. Farmer’s Market Shopping List 1. Heirloom Tomatoes – Add variety to a salad or vegetable platter. Unlike storebought tomatoes, each heirloom looks and tastes different
than the rest. They’re also a great source of numerous vitamins and minerals and contain lycopene, which studies show may lower the risk of certain cancers and cardiovascular disease. See FRESH page 14...

Health & Fitness Water Essential to Human Health
Many adults have had the virtues of drinking enough water extolled on them since childhood. Though recommendations as to how much water a person should drink each day have fluctuated over the years, it’s still safe to say that drinking
a significant amount of water every day is essential for your health. Water keeps the body healthy in a number of ways. But the body loses water in a number of ways as well, each of which is part of normal human function. For instance, a body
loses water when a person breathes, sweats, urinates or has a bowel movement. The body must replace this lost fluid in order to stay healthy and avoid dehydration. In addition to fending off dehydration, water helps the body flush out wastes and
maintain a healthy body temperature while reducing the risk of developing kidney stones or becoming constipated. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, water also helps lubricate and cushion joints and protects the
spinal cord and other sensitive tissues. The body needs water every day, but there are certain instances when the body will likely need more water than usual. If you spend See WATER page 13...

...WATER from page 13 ample time in especially hot climates, your body will need more water, just as it might during periods of physical activity. In addition, your body will need more water when suffering from certain ailments or conditions, including fever, diarrhea or vomiting. Though many people feel drinking caffeinated beverages, including coffee and sodas, dehydrate the body, experts say moderate caffeine consumption won’t dehydrate the body. A 2000 study published in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition found that healthy people who consume moderate amounts of caffeine don’t lose more fluid than those people who abstain from caffeine. Overconsumption of caffeinated beverages might prove problematic, but moderate consumption can provide the body with the fluids it needs without causing harm. It’s best to consult a physician if you suspect you aren’t getting enough fluids, but there are also some indicators men and women can notice on their own. One such indicator is the color of your urine, which will be clear or pale yellow if your body is getting enough fluids. Urine that is dark yellow indicates the body needs more water. Constipation or hard bowel movements may also be the result of a body that isn’t getting enough fluids. While it’s true there is such a thing as too much water, it is rare that a person drinks too much water. Endurance athletes are most susceptible if they only drink water during competitions. That’s because consuming too much water will dilute the amount of sodium in the body, creating an imbalance that can cause confusion, seizures and possibly even coma. That’s why many endurance athletes drink a sports drink that contains sodium, sugar and electrolytes during competitions. But even athletes who will be competing or exercising for more than an hour might want to choose a sports drink instead of just water to protect themselves and avoid an imbalance.
Many people find they don’t drink enough water by accident. One way to combat that is to bring a bottle of water with you wherever you go. Another way is to drink water throughout the day at your office, which also gives you an opportunity to get up
and stretch your legs over the course of the day. If you find water especially bland, add a slice of lemon or lime to give it more flavor. Drinking a sufficient amount of water each day helps the body function properly and fight off a host of ailments.

Other programs are presented for members in two 4-week sessions each fall and spring. These programs may vary from current events, history and science to the arts, social issues or travel. There are other active programs such as creative writing, theatre, painting, physical fitness and cooking. Mary Roberge, a leader of the ARA discussion programs, says, “during the spring term our members examine the relationship of the U.S. to several important countries as well as the issues that affect many nations besides our own, such as global warming, the use of the world’s oceans, and nuclear weapons control. In our fall term we choose a book by a thoughtful and provocative writer who looks in depth at a timely national concern that often gets superficial or biased coverage in the daily media.” George Schmalz, a new member, along with his DVD collection, is bringing Opera to the ARA members and says,
“The fat lady has left the stage! Come and enjoy the new camera-friendly voices of today.” Besides the regular programs held in convenient Seacoast locations, several cultural tours are planned each year. In the past were bus tours to Manchester, to see “Chicago” at the Palace Theatre; to Boston, to attend the BSO rehearsal, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, the MFA, and the Boston Aquarium. Other interesting trips were going on the Conway scenic railroad and Isles of Shoals boat trip. Membership is open to anyone over the age of fifty with an annual fee of $50. The organization is run independently by its members to manage the general meetings, holiday luncheons, and committees. Currently there are about 280 paid members from a large geographical area of southern Maine, northern Massachusetts and New Hampshire, representing more than forty cities and towns. Please visit the website at www.unh. edu/ara for all programs and membership information, or call Carol Caldwell, membership director, at 603-343-1004.

Not only does raw honey contain vitamin B, amino acids, and minerals like iron and potassium, but it also has antibacterial and antifungal properties. 3. Free-Range Eggs – A test by “Mother Earth News” magazine suggests that eggs from grass-fed, free-range chickens, on average, have one-third of the cholesterol and one-fourth of the saturated fat of conventional eggs. They also contain omega-3 fatty acids. 4. Fresh Herbs – Basil, sage, cilantro, and other spices and herbs are a great way to boost a meal’s flavor without adding calories. They are also gaining attention for their potential to decrease inflammation, reduce the risk of cancer, fight heart disease, and more. 5. Beets – Beets are a unique source of betaine and folate, nutrients that help protect against heart disease. Grate raw beets for a colorful addition to a salad or marinate them in lemon juice, olive oil, and fresh herbs. 6. Swiss Chard – Like spinach, Swiss chard is rich with nutrients, including vitamins K, A, and C. Use boiled Swiss chard in omelets to add some zest, or mix it with whole grain pasta. 7. Homemade Bread – Buy homemade whole grain bread from the farmers’ market. Whole grains are a source of fiber and other nutrients, including potassium and magnesium. They can help lower the risk of cancer, protect against heart disease, and maintain a person’s weight. 8. Rhubarb – This brightly-colored, celery-like food is a source of vitamins C and K, calcium, and fiber. Although it is a common pie ingredient, rhubarb can also be served as chutney for meat or a topper for yogurt. The Weekly

BUSINESS & FINANCE The Best Time of Year to Find Bargains
The savvy shopper knows there is no reason to pay full price if you don’t have to. Timing is everything when bargain hunting, and with a little patience, most people can find deep discounts on items that might have broken the bank just a few weeks prior. Shopping with coupons often requires clipping the coupon and then trying to match it up with a discounted price being offered by the store to maximize your savings. All of this has to be done prior to the coupon’s expiration date. Many veteran bargain hunters prefer to shop seasonally, instead. This means waiting until stores put items on clearance or run large sales. Knowing the best times to buy certain products can save consumers hundreds or even thousands of dollars over the course of a year. The following is a list of items and the seasons during which those types of items are most likely to be sold at a discount. Appliances The new models for most appliances arrive in the autumn. Therefore, most retailers are looking to clear out older inventory over the winter. Between October and January, expect to find deep discounts on major appliances. If shoppers can wait to replace an older unit, they will be rewarded with very good prices. Carpet and Flooring Prior to the holiday season, many homeowners are busy making home improvements so their home is welcoming and pristine for visiting guests. After the holi-
days end, however, such DIY projects often get placed on the back burner. To boost activity, home improvement stores usually cut prices on carpet and flooring during the month of January. Furniture Although furniture is usually updated in stores biannually, many furniture retailers also run sales close to major holidays. Independence Day and the rest of July is a popular time for sales. Boats Although there are those who argue that the best deals are had at area boat shows, others recommend visiting dealerships between January and March to get last year’s models as boat retailers are making room for new inventory. Garden Tools Although many homeowners still may be cleaning up from winter storms and shoveling snow, those who want to get ready for spring can go shopping for garden tools in March. Electronics Economists urge American and Canadian consumers to purchase major electronics in the spring, notably April. This is when the Japanese fiscal year ends, and many Japanese companies coincide the release of new models at this time of year. Therefore, older models might be slashed in price. Those interested in a computer may want to wait until August, when stores cut prices to coincide with back-to-school season. Shoppers interested in televisions should do their shopping in January, when products are

BUSINESS & FINANCE Contributions to Nonprofits Celebrated At Kennebunk Savings “Ballot Bash”
KENNEBUNK – Each year through its customer ballot, Kennebunk Savings asks customers to help direct a percentage of its annual charitable giving and, based on those votes, distributes checks to the top 125 votegetting nonprofit organizations. To celebrate the season, Kennebunk Savings hosted a “Ballot Bash” for area nonprofit organizations to attend, pick up their checks, and share in an ice-cream social.
Bradford C. Paige, Kennebunk Savings president and CEO said, “I’m proud to be part of an organization that is dedicated to giving back to the nonprofit community. Each year our customers tell us what causes and nonprofit organizations are important to them and we respond by donating on their behalf. As a fun way to distribute those checks, we hosted the Ballot Bash which was a great way for the groups to network at the same time.”
...BARGAINS from page 15 discounted prior to the Super Bowl. Automobiles Consumers interested in purchasing previously owned cars can shop in April. For those who are waiting to purchase a new vehicle, October is the best time to buy because this is when dealerships receive new inventory and are looking to clear out last year’s models. Summer Seasonal Products Lawnmowers, air conditioners, patio furniture and pool equipment typically go on sale around September and October. Stores are switching over to their fall merchandise and are looking to clear out any remnants of summertime, even if the weather is still quite warm. Some stores do this as early as August, when they are already getting ready to make room for Hal-
loween and Christmas displays. Swimsuits Swimsuits go on sale in August to make room for fall accessories. Although some people will argue there is never a good time to go bathing suit shopping, if a good price is a requirement, then August is the time to do so. Weddings It is well-known that the summer months are peak times for weddings -- and expensive prices. Budget-conscious couples can consider a November wedding, where costs may be much less and vendors not in much demand. Try to have the wedding prior to the holiday season, when catering halls start booking rooms for Christmas parties. Knowing when to buy items during the year can add up to considerable savings.
AUTO. HOME. LIFE. When things work together, they just work better. And it could save you money, too. Bundling your auto, home and life insurance with Nationwide, for example, can save you up to 25%. Who wouldn’t like the sound of that?

Checks given out range from just under $100 to over $7,000 and more than twenty organizations received a check for over $1,000. This year’s top recipients include: Animal Welfare Society, Another Chance Animal Rescue, Safe Haven Animal Shelter, Community Food Pantry, and York Community Food Pantry. Of the $80,000 being distributed through the Ballot, human needs organizations received 41%, civic organizations (such as libraries and animal organizations) received 36%, environmental organizations received 10%, arts organizations received 8%, and educational organizations received 5%. Kennebunk Savings has a long and proud history of giving back to the community. Since 1994, the bank has donated more than $7.5 million to York County nonprofits.

A Lineup of Moves Worth Considering This week, Major League Baseball’s All-Star Game is scheduled to be played in Kansas City. Whether you’re rooting for the American or National League, you’ll no doubt admire the ability and athleticism exhibited by these tremendous ballplayers. Of course, any allstar team is made up of players who bring different talents to the game. And this same approach - of combining a collection of skills toward one common effort - can be found in other endeavors, one of which is investing. Here, then, is one possible lineup of investment moves to consider: Diversify. All investments have both benefits and risks. As an investor, your goal is to help maximize the benefits and minimize the risks - and one of the best ways to do this is by diversifying your money across a range of assets. Diversifying can help you reduce the impact of market volatility that might affect your portfolio if all your money was tied up in one particular
asset class, and that asset went through a “down” period. Keep in mind, though, that diversification, by itself, cannot guarantee profits or protect against loss. Rebalance. Even without your taking significant actions, your portfolio can evolve in ways that may not be to your liking. For example, if some of your more aggressive investments appreciate greatly, they may eventually constitute a larger percentage of your holdings than you had planned - and in doing so, elevate your overall risk level. To prevent this from happening, you should meet with your financial advisor periodically to “rebalance” your portfolio. Seek quality. Many people latch onto “hot” investments, only to be disappointed when they “cool off.” Instead seek quality vehicles - the ones that generally lose the least ground when the market is down and recover more quickly when the market rallies. When you invest in stocks, for instance, look for those companies that have

strong management teams, competitive products and good business models. When you purchase bonds, look for those with high ratings from the independent rating agencies. Stay invested. It’s tempting to “take a breather” from investing when the financial markets are volatile. But if you stay on the investment sidelines, you may miss out on the beginning of the next market rally. If you’ve built a diversified portfolio of quality vehicles, it may be easier to stay invested. Know your risk tolerance. If you find yourself constantly fretting about the market’s ups and downs, to the extent that your worries are affecting the quality of your life, you may have a portfolio that’s unsuited to your risk tolerance. Conversely, if you’re dissatisfied with the growth of your investments, you may be investing too cautiously, which could be a concern when you’re striving to reach long-term goals, such as a comfortable retirement. Ultimately, there’s no one “right” way for everyone to invest, but you do need to match your portfolio’s composition with your individual risk tolerance and time horizon. Your financial advisor can help your find the “lineup” of investment moves that is right for you. Put it to work soon. Article provided by Joseph Mittica, Edward Jones financial advisor.

Flag Essay Contest Winners WELLS – The Rebecca Emery Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution announced the winners of the 2012 Flag Essay Contest for 6th and 7th grade students. Courtney Williams, Seacoast Christian School, won the 6th grade contest. Lauren Paquet, Saint James School, is the 7th grade winner. Williams, Paquet, their families and friends were guests at the Rebecca Emery Chapter’s June lunch meeting. The girls read their winning essays and
received an American and State of Maine table flag set, a pin and a gift certificate to honor their achievements. The essay topic was “Our Flag – What It Means to Me.” The purpose of this contest is to make young adults aware of their responsibilities to our country, to have them reflect on what the flag means and to instill in them the honor and respect that is due our National Symbol – our flag. This year the Rebecca Emery Chapter received thirty-seven essays from four schools.
SOUTH BERWICK – On Thursday, June 28, a group of Berwick musicians and dancers traveled to Portland, where they showcased their talents in Monument Square as a precursor to the inaugural Portland Performing Arts Festival. The Berwick acts provided an informal opening for Eepybird, a duo more commonly known as viral YouTube sensation “The Coke and Mentos Guys.” The Performing Arts Festival, which ran from June 28 to July 1, also featured classical guitarist Sharon Isbin and jazz/blues composer Doug Wamble. Page and Lydia Waldo, of South Berwick, began the event with an acoustic duet of Gotye’s “Somebody That I Used to Know” and were followed by Sam Salvati, of Rollinsford, Cat Connors, of Kittery Point, Noah Landis, of South Berwick, Emily Barbour, of Bar-
YCCC’s North Star TRIO Program an Asset for Students WELLS – Like many community colleges, York County Community College serves a population that includes both non-traditional students and new high school graduates. They are often the first people in their family to attend college. A large number of them come from low-income families. Others have learning disabilities. Many students initially find the college experience to be somewhat daunting. Fortunately, there’s a federally funded program at YCCC – North Star TRIO – that exists to assist these students with a variety of support services, including tutoring, mentoring, help with solving problems, and aid in finding and securing funding for tuition and books. North Star TRIO leads a free pre-college course called “Rising Stars” for twenty new YCCC students to prepare them to succeed from the start. “Rising Stars” helps eligible students develop skills and find resources during three six-hour sessions on Mondays, August 6, 13, and 20. New students have found the program invaluable. “I knew I wanted to attend college and am the first in my family to attend,” said Breanna
Lee, who enrolled in the fall, 2011 semester. “I hadn’t been to school in two years, because I didn’t know what I wanted. I received a letter about Rising Stars asking if I’d like to join.” Lee continued with TRIO throughout her first year of college. Suzanne Sprague, who just completed her second semester, participates in the program as

Life in Milltown Maine Explored Book Review by Theresa Gillis KENNEBUNK – Monica Wood is a Maine author and my former high school guidance counselor. While she probably doesn’t remember me as a student, I have been an avid reader of her fiction. Her latest book, “When We Were the Kennedys: A Memoir from Mexico, Maine” is a step back into Wood’s childhood and a revealing look at life in a Maine milltown. For those of us who spent time growing up in “milltowns,” the descriptions of smoke-filled skies and towering smoke stacks is familiar. Mexico, Maine, like many of the milltowns in Maine, was made up of families, often with deep ties to each other, to the mill and to a local church. And like other paper mills, the Oxford Paper Company provided security then uncertainty as times changed. Within the backdrop of her hometown, Wood shares her deeply personal memories need an adult’s assistance.

of a Catholic family growing up in milltown Maine. This could have been my story - with many exceptions of course. My parents still live in their milltown of Westbrook, but neither worked at the mill; my siblings and I have moved away from the mill while remaining in Maine; and I don’t have an uncle who is a priest. You don’t need to have a family like Monica Wood’s to enjoy this deeply engaging memoir, however. For those of us from Maine, there is the flavor that may not be present in all memoirs (including the frequent mention of Moxie). But Moxie and gumption are with the Woods family throughout “When We Were the Kennedys.” You will be rooting for Monica and her family as you enjoy her touching memoir.

~ Ask The Computer Lady & News ~ Dear Computer Lady, Hi, I have a problem that I am trying to figure out, I created a power point presentation with music and pictures. The size of the file is 53 meg and I can’t figure out how to reduce the size, of course I cannot E-Mail that size of a file. I receive pps files and they are only 4 meg and that is with the music and pictures. Any help on how to reduce the size would be appreciated. Thank You, John Dear John, I have not seen your power point presentation, so I can’t be sure, but I am guessing that the problem is with your original pictures and music. Go back to your picture files and your music that you included in your power point presentation. If you are using the “Details” view in Windows Explorer, you will be able to see the size of each file. If you are not using the “Details” view, you will still be able to right-click on each file, select “Properties” and view the size of each file. I’m guessing that you will find that one or more of these items is quite a few megabytes (Mb). These are the files that you will need to reduce in size before including them in your presentation. I don’t know what programs you have available on your computer to reduce the file size of pictures, but I do have a nice tutorial on my website at: http://wp.me/pwwRq-1gr Once you have reduced the size of your pictures (make sure to save them with a different file name so you don’t lose your full size pictures) go back to your slideshow and replace the images with the new, smaller ones. This should make your slideshow small enough to share through email. Elizabeth Hi Computer Lady, I am a senior citizen with very little knowledge of computers and I hope you can tell me what log me in is. Every time I turn on my computer something comes up on the screen telling me a log me in update is available. I have an HP computer with windows 7. Thank you for your help, Lorie Dear Lorie, LogMeIn is a software program that allows you to access your computer remotely. For example, if I want to be able to access my work computer from home, I could (if my company allows it) install LogMeIn on my work computer, leave it running when I left at the end of the day, and then log into the work computer from home and finish up the paper that I had been working on during the day. I am a little concerned that
you have this software installed on your computer, but you have no idea what it is. Someone must have installed it on your computer. Hopefully, it was someone that you trust who is trying to help you out with your computer. If you don’t use LogMeIn, and have no idea how it got installed, I would suggest that you go to the Control Panel, click on “Uninstall A Program” and remove LogMeIn. You don’t want people to access your computer without your knowledge or permission. Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, Thank you for your newsletter - I stumbled on you about a year ago and I really appreciate your approach to helping people like me who like to dabble on their own equipment and software. My question: I use AVG as my protection software, I even purchased the advanced plan and my computer seems to be running great. However, during some recent software upgrades, McFee and Norton both installed what appears to be a program that runs on my system and tells me that I have a problem and that I should by their software. The thing is, I don’t want to have multiple anti-virus software running, nor do I want to do business with a company who “injects” their software into my system and then wants me to buy it. I’m sure I accepted the “free download” when I was upgrading something so I’m sure that it’s my fault. However, I’ve tried to removed this additional software from my computer and I don’t seem to be able to - plus, when it runs its “scan” it is difficult to close. It doesn’t seem to be infecting my system, but it’s annoying. Can you offer any suggestions for removing this? I use Windows 7. Thanks, Matt, Colorado Dear Matt, I always find it frustrating when a company tries to slip in another program when I am installing something, and I have seen these antivir programs when trying to install something simple like Adobe Acrobat Reader, or even an internet toolbar. The good news is that most of the time, these programs can
be easily removed using the Control Panel. Click on “start” and then “Control Panel.” In the, Programs section of the control panel, click on “Uninstall a program.” Find the offending programs in the list, and click on one of them to select it. Click on “Uninstall” in the command bar at the top of the window, and wait while the program is removed. If you don’t find the program listed in the list of programs, it might not be from either McAfee or Norton, but a spyware program trying to trick you into believing it is a legitimate program. In this case, you will need to scan for Malware and remove the programs that way. You never want to purchase a program that you did not intentionally install since it could be a hoax, and you would be giving crooks your credit card information. I hope this helps, Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, Is it OK to put the computer on “hibernate” each night or is it best to shut it down completely? With all the virus, etc. going on what is the best way to go? Thanks for the help, Janelle Dear Janelle, In my opinion, the best thing to do, is to shut down the computer when you are finished with it for the day. Others might not agree with me, but let me explain why I believe this is the best way to go. When you turn your computer on, it loads Windows from the hard drive (which is longterm, stable storage) into RAM, (which is short-term, more volatile storage) where it stays until you shut your computer down. When you put your computer into hibernate, the computer copies the contents in the RAM to a spot on your hard drive and goes into a power saving mode. When you wake the computer back up, it copies the contents of that file back into RAM and picks up where it left

off. If there were any errors that had occurred with your data, the errors would be copied as well. When you shut your computer down at the end of the day, it saves your files, and any configuration changes you may have made (like a change in wallpaper, etc.) and shuts the computer off. When you turn it back on, it loads a fresh copy of Windows from the hard drive, and any errors that might have occurred the day before are not copied. As far as viruses goes, it is a little bit more secure to shut your computer down instead of putting it into hibernate. How much more secure depends on some of your settings. Elizabeth

Poets Laureate Visit High Schoolers at UNE Creative Writing Program
BIDDEFORD – The University of New England will host workshops by two Maine poet laureates in July, and the audience will not be the usual college crowd. High school juniors and seniors from across the country - and one from South Korea - will gather on the UNE Biddeford Campus for the university’s first Early College Creative Writing Program July 8-20. The two-week program, taught by David Stankiewicz, earns teens three college credits before they graduate from high school. The students will
get poetry pointers from two of Maine’s most respected poets: Wesley McNair, present Maine poet laureate, and Betsy Scholl, who preceded McNair as poet laureate. McNair and Scholl will help the students refine their poetic style and will present some of their own work as literary inspiration to the budding poets. Scholl will visit the class on July 11, and McNair’s workshop takes place on July 17. In addition to workshops with Scholl and McNair, Joshua Bodwell, Director of the Maine Writers and Publishers Alliance, will spend an afternoon with the
students, providing advice on the fine art of getting published. Bodwell’s background includes several years as an editor at the York County Coast Star, numerous publications, and running his own publishing company, Clamp Down Press. The high school students in UNE’s summer program will devote time to building their writing portfolio and then present their final project -- a public reading of their poetry on Friday, July 20 in the St. Francis Room on UNE’s Biddeford Campus. For more information, contact Audrey Gup-Mathews, director of continuing education, at 207-602-2802, or visit www.une.edu/oce.

YORK COUNTY –
Area residents were among 465 seniors who graduated from Colby College May 20, 2012, receiving a bachelor of arts degree at the outdoor commencement in Waterville, Maine. As commencement speaker, former British prime minister Tony Blair urged members of the Class of 2012 to continue learning with humility, to maintain an open mind, and to serve others. “Never stop learning. Carry on. And have the humility always to know that you can learn more,” he said. “Successful people are not defined by a restless search for fame and fortune but by an insatiable desire to be better and an infinite curiosity as to how. They’re perpetual voyagers on the journey of selfimprovement.” Katherine E. Graichen of Arundel, the daughter of Dana and Andrea Graichen of Arundel, Maine, majored in environmental studies with

Rev. Henry Retires after Ten Years Service to Wells Church WELLS – Rev. Herbert L. Henry, pastor of the Congregational Church of Wells for the past ten years, has retired effective July 1, 2012. With his wife, Rev. Joanne Stoughton acting as liturgist, Rev. Henry led his last service in Wells on Sunday, June 17. The service included a message from Rev. Henry to the congregation, special musical pieces including a combined adult and children’s choir, and a ceremony “Acknowledging a Time of Passage.” The church was filled with members and friends who had come to say “goodbye” to Herb and Joanne as they are generally known and to wish them well. A reception and receiving line were held in Fellowship Hall immediately after the service where Rev. Henry was presented with a scrapbook filled with notes from the congregation and photos covering his ten years in Wells as pastor. Prior to his last Sunday in the pulpit, a party was held in Rev. Henry’s honor at Jonathan’s Restaurant in Ogunquit on June 1. There Rev. Henry graciously endured a fair amount of good-natured “roasting” and a video presentation covering his time in Wells. During his ten years in Wells, Rev. Henry encouraged, supported, and ministered to his congregation and the Wells community. He will be fondly remembered by all those whom he helped, as a pastor, mentor, and friend. Herb and Joanne are now residing in their newly purchased home in Punta Gorda, Florida. The Weekly

New Ice Cream Shop Opens in Dock Square KENNEBUNKPORT – Lauren Guptill’s Rococo Artisan Ice Cream has just opened in Dock Square. Renovations at the former Yorke Shears Barbershop at 6 Spring Street have been ongoing since early March and Guptill is excited to announce the opening. “The opening of Rococo is going to be a very exciting event. Rococo is a concept that has been in the works for years,” said Guptill, “and it is amazing to see the whole process come together.” Inspired by travel in South America, specifically in Argentina, Rococo Artisan Ice Cream will offer a variety of flavors that will be sure to bring uniqueness to the palate. Her inspiration to open an ice cream shop came from years of living in Argentina, where the ice cream style was very different than America ice cream. “Argentinean ice cream is lighter than the traditional hard scooped American style. It draws on the style of Italian gelatos its very flavor forward and is characterized by its use of fresh ingredients. It is also served at slightly warmer temperature in order to enhance the flavors of the ice cream,” said Guptill. “I am exploring different flavor combinations
now and have some exciting things in store for this summer. The goal is to not be a conventional scoop shop. I offer fun twists on classic flavors, like Strawberry Basil and some pretty interesting pairings like Organic Chai and Cardamon. I am looking forward to working with seasonal ingredients, as well, like strawberries from Spillers’ Farm in Wells; and we will have a flavor of the week in which all the ingredients are sourced from local farmers markets.” After searching the seacoast towns of Southern Maine Guptill decided upon opening the shop in Kennebunkport. “I could not have found a better location than Kennebunkport for the shop,” said Guptill. “Kennebunkport is renowned for its wonderful restaurants and eateries. I believe artisan ice cream will be a great addition to the community.” (courtesy image)
OGUNQUIT – For Brad Kenney, executive artistic director at Ogunquit Playhouse, the current production of “South Pacific” represents a challenge, an opportunity, and a mission. Start with challenge. “South Pacific” is an immense show with a little bit of everything. The first and most salient feature is the awesome span of the South Pacific ocean itself, with its myriad archipelagos and many native cultures. Superimposed upon the vast geography is the immensity and intensity of World War II, when millions of American and Japanese soldiers and sailors battled for control of the region. On the small and intimate end of the scale, “South Pacific” boasts two memorable romances - one with a happy ending and one that ends in tragedy. The many characters represent another sweep of theatrical scope, ranging from refined to raucous. The story was first told on stage in 1949. Joshua Logan and Oscar Hammerstein II collaborated on the script, while Hammerstein and Richard Rodgers penned the score. Logan directed the original Broadway production, which won ten Tony Awards. Among its many honors, “South Pacific” is the only Broadway show where the original source material - James Michener’s “Tales of the South Pacific” - and the Broadway adaptation both won the Pulitzer Prize. Michener’s novel took the Pulitzer for literature, while the musical won the prize for drama. Kenney’s unique opportunity came via the celebrated 2008 revival at Lincoln Center and the
subsequent national tour. Lincoln Center’s production, directed by Bartlett Sher, won seven Tony Awards, the most ever for a revival. The production ran nearly 1,000 performances and spawned a highly successful national tour. When Kenney realized that the tour was taking a break this summer, he jumped at the opportunity to work with its actors and creative team to forge an Ogunquit production. Kenney, aided by director Shaun Kerrison, succeeded brilliantly. To begin with, the two principal actors are both connected with the Lincoln Center revival and the tour. Jennie Sophia, as Ensign Nellie Forbush, starred in the recent national tour. She plays opposite Branch Fields, as Emile de Becque, a French expatriate plantation owner. In the Lincoln Center production, Fields understudied the Tony Award-winning star, Paulo Szot. The secondary romantic couple, Christopher Johnstone and Hsin-Yu Liao, are both reprising their roles in the national tour. Johnstone plays a handsome Marine, while Liao portrays a native island girl. The remainder of the cast principally comprises Navy nurses, officers, sailors and Seabees. In Ogunquit’s current production, no fewer than ten are veterans of the national tour: Samantha Berman, James Erickson, Jay Frisby, Andrew Mauney, Ben Mayne, Jessica Naimy, Ariel Padilla, Matt Patrick, Laura Pavles and Gregory L. Williams. Offstage, Ogunquit’s roster also closely mirrors the Lincoln Center revival and the national tour. Ogunquit’s choreographer, Victor Wisehart, acted in the See PACIFIC page 28...

Backyard Coffeehouse & Eatery Holds Ribbon Cutting
Junebug’s Beach House Opens in York YORK – Junebug’s Beach House is now open in York on Route 1 at Caswell Farm. This new shop offers coastal inspired gifts for people, pets and home and specializes in unique, handcrafted goods made in the USA. Former owners of Cool Dogs & Crazy Cats in Ogunquit, Elysa Cooper and Tricia Zerhusen moved back to Maine last year to begin this new venture. “We missed the beauty and quality of life here on the Maine coast. We were really homesick, so we sold Cool Dogs, which we had relocated to North Carolina, loaded up the dogs and here we are,” said Zerhusen. “Everything we carry at Junebug’s Beach House evokes the feeling of the seaside lifestylethrough pattern, color or theme,” said Cooper. Both Cooper and Zerhusen have lived by the ocean for years and cannot imagine life any other way. “Our dogs love the beach as much as we do, so we thought we would expand the idea of our pet gift store, add the inspiration of the coast and carry a great selection of gifts for people, pets and home. We originally opened Cool Dogs because of the love for our dogs and our passion for rescue- with Junebug’s, we can continue this and add in our love for the coast,” said Cooper. The most asked question so far is “Who is Junebug?” said Zerhusen. “The store is named after one of our rescue dogs who had a very difficult beginning. Junebug’s Beach House seemed like a perfect fit.” “It is a fun, whimsical shop and we just fell in love with the beautiful Caswell Farm location,” Zerhusen said. Caswell Farm is a fully restored antique farmhouse built by local builder Bob Cutts. This was a labor of love for Cutts, restoring the property with an amazing attention to
detail over the past few years. Offerings at Junebug’s Beach House include purses, apparel, jewelry, soap and cards for people; candles, frames, signs, pillows, rugs and cast iron accessories for the home and collars, toys, all natural treats, beds, bowls and bath products for pets. Junebug’s Beach House is located at 908 Route 1 (1 mile N of Stonewall Kitchen) in York. They can be reached at 207-363-6030 or online at www.junebugsbeachhouse.com. (courtesy photo)

Greenovations Relocates To York YORK – Greenovations Eco Building Supply, formerly of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, has relocated to York at 470 US Route One, between the route 1A traffic light and Hannaford Plaza, on the west side of the road.

solar installations, HVAC equipment, windows and insulation, to name a few.

Craig Mooney, and Holly Ready. Great art informs our understanding of the world. Collectively, these paintings are a reminder of the role the skyscape plays in our experience of the world around us.

Children Get to Act Out at Summer Drama Camp BERWICK – Registration has begun for the 2012 Children’s Drama Camp at The Hackmatack Playhouse, Route 9 in Berwick. According to Katie Rodgers, director of the program, “We strike a balance between a fun and relaxed atmosphere and providing campers with a quality theater experience. We spend a significant amount of time playing games that teach the campers theater skills, including physical expression, projection, working as a group, and improvisation.” Rodgers stressed that the campers are encouraged to discover their own characters and insert their personalities into their performances. “They help create their costumes, sets, and props, and often approach things with a unique, creative perspective that we, as adults, would not have seen. As we rehearse for our final show, campers work with highly
qualified staff, as well as actors and interns who are employed at Hackmatack for the summer,” she said. “Some Hackmatack campers have been coming for years, and still others return after they have “aged out” to serve as counselors. These older campers and counselors are role models and mentors to the newest campers, resulting in a caring, supportive environment that could not be achieved without them. This is Rodgers’ ninth summer working with the Hackmatack Children’s Drama Camp, and fouth year as director. Kennebunk Savings Bank has been a sponsor of Hackmatack’s Drama Camp for many years and Measured Progress is providing camp scholarships again this year. Camp runs now through Saturday, August 11.

Isa Burke and Lina Tullgren, Marshwood grads who headline the Hot Summer Nights Concert series (courtesy photo)
SOUTH BERWICK – The girls were just finished middle school when they first appeared with their fiddles on the lawn of Central School in South Berwick. They had never played more than an open mic or talent show, and they didn’t really know how to put a set together. Now, as they graduate from Marshwood High School, South Berwick residents Isa Burke and Lina Tullgren have moved into the realm of semi-professional musicians. Instead of playing as an opening act at the Hot Summer Nights concert series, the two girls – both heading to Boston to play music next year – will be featured as the main act when South Berwick summer series begins Thursday, July 12. And rather than scrounging to come up with a half an hour of music to offer, they will be choosing between the dozens of songs they have written and mastered over the past five years. “When we were first asked to do the opening act, we were super-honored and super-excited,” said Burke, as she reflected on her
years playing the series. “Since then we’ve kind of become staples of the South Berwick music scene and now getting to open for Hot Summer Nights is an indicator of our progress as musicians.” The girls agreed the series opened the door for them musically. “Having the opportunity to open for such talented artists and bands really made us take time and plan our set lists and practice to get everything perfect,” added Tullgren. “It’s one of the reasons we play music together and are such close friends today. Aside from open mics, it was our first real gig.” The Hot Summer Nights concerts for 2012 will, as usual, offer a variety of musical styles by local musicians. This years lineup includes: July 12 - Lina and Isa (Lane Klossner and Friends opening); July 19 - Hoot Night; July 26 Oran Mor (Jamie Meader and Cat Connors opening); Aug. 2 - PB&J (Ethan Martin, Olivia Martin and Sophie Towle opening); Aug. 9 - Martin England and the Reconstructed (Sus 5 opening); Aug. 16 - Will Daily (Sophia Urquhart opening); Aug. 22 (raindate Aug. 23) - LanternFest with Mainesqueeze. Chip Harding, who schedules young talent to open the Hot Summer Nights shows, describes this year’s openers as “an amazing group of talented and dedicated young musicians who will bring a remarkable diversity in musical styles to the proceedings.” “Isa and Lina opened Hot Summer Nights concerts each of the last four years, returning every season by popular demand, and have now gained a level of musiSee CONCERT page 32...

~ Arts & Entertainment ~ Shakespeare Returns to Kennebunk for Second Season KENNEBUNK – This July, residents of Maine’s south coast can look forward, not only to sunny days and barbecues, but to another season of free outdoor Shakespeare. Fresh off their spirited inaugural season, the actors of MaineStage Shakespeare will return to Lafayette Park in Kennebunk with a trio of Shakespearean favorites: “As You Like It,” “Love’s Labours Lost,” and the famed tragedy “Othello.” The impassioned actors and directors of MaineStage Shakespeare, most of them in their 20s, hope to perform quality theater free of charge. In the words of the artistic director, Chiara Klein, “Theater is a right, not a privilege,” and this spirit of community service forms the foundation of MaineStage’s mission. In addition to four weekly performances, MaineStage Shakespeare will offer ShakesSTARS, a theater education program that inspires and challenges youth. Campers have the opportunity to write a short play to be performed as a “curtain raiser,” or to take on supporting roles in the company’s matinee
performance of “Love’s Labours Lost.” Classes include acting, improvisation, Shakespeare, storytelling, stage combat and more. Fans can look forward to the return of Klein, as well as Meg Smith, Rachael Yoder, Jay Ben Markson, David Mavricos, and Aidan Eastwood-Paticchio from last year’s company, who will be joined by new company members Kelly Pekar, Fernando Lamberty, Alex Shaw, Joseph Bromfield, and Jordan Laroya.

Another Chance Animal Rescue
NORTH BERWICK – Meet Leslie… Leslie is a young seven-yearold Shiba Inu female, spayed and up-to-date on all necessary vaccinations. This very sweet lady came into ACAR when her elderly father was placed in a nursing facility. The gentleman’s caregivers, already having a couple of family dogs, could not keep Leslie for themselves. The care givers have indicated that Leslie is a gentle, loving dog that will do well with other dogs and cats, but young children are not a good match. Leslie likes to ride, likes to be brushed, and would appreciate long walks for general exercise. If you think this lovely lady would be a nice addition to your family,
please make plans to stop by the adoption center to file an application for Ms. Leslie. In addition to Ms. Leslie our feature pet of the week, we still have a nice selection of teenage kittens, young adult cats and a nice selection of eight and nine
Help! Cat Food Needed We are spending a fortune on can cat food, dry cat food and Cedarific cat litter just to take care of the basic day-to-day needs. We are looking to the public to help us by dropping off these very basic items so we may continue to meet our mission. We have a drop box at the Hannafords in Wells and a drop off at Another Chance (37 Market Street, North Berwick) Monday-Saturday. Any and all help is truly appreciated.

Safe Haven Humane Society WELLS – Adoption Event On July 14, Safe Haven will hold an adoption event at Bell Farm Antiques, Rt. 1, York. Bell Farm is also donating the proceeds of its daylily sale to Safe Haven. Cat Rescued by Lakewood Tree Expert What goes up must come down. How it comes down sometimes depends on Safe Haven and a skilled tree-climber. We received another call for help about a kitty up a tree, and this time the kitty was more than sixty feet up. First we were told it was a four-week-old kitten but later we learned it was a young cat with white boots who looked like a gray squirrel. Drenched from the rain, she clung to the top branches mewing frantically to her owners below. Her owners, a mother

and two children, were tearyeyed and thankful for our help. During a playful water fight between the children, the kitty had slipped outside and up the tree. Attempts by family friends had failed to get the kitty down, now it was a task that only a skilled professional could do. The kitty had been up there for a day and night. She was hungry, tired and very distressed. Happily, Matt Teti from Lakewood Tree Experts in Wells came to the rescue, despite the pouring rain and thunder. With chainsaw in tow, Matt skillfully climbed up more than sixty feet, clearing his way when necessary to reach the kitty. But the kitty decided to leap on a branch that was on its way down to the ground. She landed safely and ran to the side of the family home. The children scrambled after her, calling her name. The cute little redheaded boy bent down and picked up his drenched kitty, cradling her gently and lovingly in his arms. The mother and daughter rushed her inside for food and dry towels.

WEST KENNEBUNK – “Andy” Andy is most definitely a people dog. He loves being around people all of the time. This 4-year old black Labrador doesn’t care what he does with people, as long as he’s with them. Walking, playing, just lounging about, it’s all good to him. And it’s hard for people to not want to be around Andy all the time as well. He’s just got such a happy and fun attitude. He enjoys playing with a wide variety of toys from bones to frisbees. Andy would be happy to share a new home with some other dogs, dog savvy cats, and respectful children of all ages. Most all, he’d be ecstatic to share a new home with people who will love him, play with him, and just spend time with him. “Angus” How could pass on a face that adorable? Angus is an adult Guinea Pig looking for a new home. Like most Guinea Pigs, he’s a little timid around new people, but loves having a spacious cage with places to hide and toys or treats to chew on. Angus would make an ideal pet for anyone looking for a low-maintenance companion who doesn’t take up a whole lot of space. Annual AMA Yard Sale On Saturday, July 21, it’s the
Annual Animal Medical Associates Yard Sale on Rt 1 in Saco. It’s a great opportunity to meet people from various rescues in Maine and support their causes. All proceeds are divided between the participating groups. If you’d like to contribute to the sale please call Jocelyn at 207-282- 5151.

BlixxHorses Works to Improve Lives We volunteers gathered around, tearfully watching the kitty gobble down some food then run to her litter box. This rescue could never have happened had it not been for Matt whose Lakewood Tree Experts is located on Rt. 109 in Wells. He was happy to do this and was so concerned about the cat. We can’t be more thankful to this wonderful young man. Ebony is ready to go home. After a stay in foster care, this handsome beauty is healthy and lovable and ready for a home.

learn the fundamentals of horse care and behavior, including how to properly and safely approach a horse. This year’s theme will revolve around ‘The Horses Best Interest’ and will include field trips to the horses’ residence. Since horses can live into their 30s and 40s, and are traditionally passed on or bought and sold, the chances that they will end up in a difficult situation increases. Currently there are many unwanted horses, and they face the plight of being sent to slaughter. The program will give kids an appreciation for the responsibilities that are a part of having these ‘big dogs,’ as they explore the similarities and differences between traditional pets and our larger, hooved ones.

KENNEBUNKPORT – Olin College’s Sailbot team was founded just this year, yet, it didn’t take long for the team to thrust their project into competition. The robotic sailing team recently made its way to Vancouver for the 6th International Robotic Sailboat Championship (IRSC), despite having to dissemble and reassemble its boat as a result of the lengthy trip. Kennebunkport resident Abe Feldman, a member of the class of 2012 at Olin College, joined several classmates for the Olin Sailbot team’s first real test. With the help of an impressive performance in the Navigation Contest, Olin College and its Sailbot titled ‘Blackbody Ra-
diation’ was able to claim second place out of nine teams from all over the United States and Canada. Six events took place and each event was scored on a tenpoint scale. Olin College placed in fourth and second in the two fleet races, second in the Station Keeping event, First (three way tie) in the Navigation event, second in the presentation event, and second in the long distance event. The team displayed great composure when Blackbody Radiation endured a small crash just ten minutes before the long distance event, resulting in the sensor mount being knocked loose. Olin responded adeptly by taking the boat out of the water and putting it into the dry-dock cradle, utilizing
5-minute epoxy and gorilla tape to get the boat back in the water in a timely fashion. Despite the small mishap, the boat highly outperformed the team’s expectations. “I participate in Sailbot because it’s fun, it’s exciting, and I’m pushing the boundaries of what I know how to do. The team did great at the IRSC in Vancouver, taking 2nd place by just a few points in its rookie year,” said Eric Schneider. “We are really excited to expand and further define the mission of the team this year - we don’t want to be defined by the IRSC (our goal for the end of 2012), but instead use it explicitly as a stepping stone, an intermeSee SAILING page 37...
New Turf Field Plays Host to Field Hockey Tournament SOUTH BERWICK – If there was ever a Maine Games sports/team dynasty, it would have to be the women’s field hockey team known as Sharkbait, which is based out of the Greater Portland area. Since the Maine Games began offering adult women’s field hockey in 2006, Sharkbait has stood alone on the gold-medal podium, winning their seventh straight Maine Games tournament. The tight-knit team is filled with some very talented athletes and features two former Maine Games Female Athletes of the Year. Saturday they cruised through the competition at Berwick Academy’s new turf field on the South Berwick campus Saturday, on the 40th anniversary of Title IX, which in the early 1970s, opened up numerous opportunities for female high school and collegiate athletes nationwide. While most of the play-
ers at this year’s Maine Games adult field hockey tournament were too young to remember the struggle of their predecessors in competitive sports, the result and impact of Title IX was apparent Saturday, when nearly seventyfive women from age 18 to 51 competed at a very high level. The tournament was open to players who have just graduated from high school and included current and former NCAA Division I, II, and III players, as well as former high school players, and women who just enjoy the sport and camaraderie shared by friends and opponents. Karen Croteau (2006 Maine Games Female Athlete of the Year), a standout field hockey player at Bridgewater State University (class of 1983) and who now is a professor at the University of Southern Maine, is also a former St. Joe’s College field hockey head coach (1995-98).
Sharkbait team members celebrate their continued success (courtesy photo)
Croteau is one of two women playing in this year’s women’s tournament who hasn’t missed any of the Maine Games women’s field hockey tournaments. She is the all-time goal scorer at Bridgewater State, with a total of 29 goals and 60 total points. The other player with seven

Burke, the daughter of well-known local musicians Susie Burke and David Surette, has played with her family, or just with her dad, around New Hampshire and Maine.

She’s also played with the B.A. Canning Band and most recently, recorded some fiddle on Derek Archambault’s solo record, a project called Alcoa. Tullgren is also working on recording a solo EP of her own music, songs written on clawhammer banjo, guitar, fiddle and voice. And both Tullgren and
Burke expect they will be back in South Berwick to play, no matter where they end up with their careers in the future. In the meantime, Burke said, “The South Berwick music scene has done so much for us and this is the perfect way to say good bye to South Berwick.” The Hot Summer Nights concerts, with the exception of the final concert on Wednesday, Aug. 22, all begin with an opening act at 6:30 pm followed by the
main performer at 7 pm. Pizza and other snacks are for sale at the concert and the audience is always welcome to bring a picnic with their blanket and chairs. The final Hot Summer Nights concert will be Sammie Haines and Mainesqueeze performing for the second annual Lantern Fest 5 to 6:30 pm Wednesday Aug. 22, with a rain date Aug. 23.

WELLS – The Wells-Ogunquit Community School District held its annual Volunteer Appreciation breakfast on May 31. This event is held to thank the district’s volunteers for the many hours of service that they donate to assist students and staff throughout the school year. There were about fifty volunteers in attendance. At the breakfast, Linda ‘Cork’ Dobson was recognized as the district’s exemplary volunteer of the year for 2011-2012. Dobson began volunteering for the school when her first child, David, entered kindergarten. She continued to help out as David moved through the grade levels at Wells Elementary School. During that time, Dobson’s second son, Matthew, started kindergarten at WES. With Matthew in grade 4, Dobson has been seen often helping in Mrs. Longley’s fourth grade classroom with math games. Dobson has been a regular volunteer in kindergarten for the

~ News ~ ...SAFE from page 30 special person. He was fostered with a rollicking kitten and a calm older cat, and he was happy with both. The kitten would pounce on his head and chew on his ears and Ebony would lie there and take it from the little wrestler. He seemed to enjoy the companionship. Ebony will be fine with any submissive or non-intimidating cat, but he is easily spooked and lacks selfconfidence. With people Ebony is very demonstrative. He grabs at your hand when you pull it away after petting him. He wants you to stay with him. There is a mystery about Ebony that fascinates us. He seems to want us to know and understand him. He seems so ready to be brave and confident and yet he seems to hold back as though he’s waiting for something. Perhaps what he’s waiting for is you – a very special person to share each wonderful moment with. If you have a quiet home and are looking for a kitty that will reward you with affection and love, please call 646-1611. Ebony is waiting.
University of Maine Student, Laura Hackney, Awarded Scholarship YORK – Old York Garden Club held its annual luncheon at the Dockside Restaurant in York on June 13. For the second year in a row, the club awarded a $3000 scholarship to Laura Hackney, who plans to graduate in 2013 from the University of Maine with a degree in Environmental Horticulture and Landscape Design. The Old York Garden Scholarship in memory of Marion Prince Hosmer was presented by Mary Jane Merrill, Chairperson of the Scholarship Committee and Jeanie Dominguez. Hackney expressed her gratitude and appreciation for the award and explained how the scholarships have helped her achieve her goal of securing a good education. In addition to being a full time student, she also works for an estate in Old Town, Maine and is gaining first hand experiences in her field of horticulture. OYGC encourages all students who are a resident of the State of Maine and are pursuing a career in horticultural related studies to apply next spring. Old York Garden Club
also donated $500 to the Lawns to Lobsters community group to support its goal of protecting lobsters and the ocean from the dangers of pesticides and lawn chemicals. Brian Wood, spokesperson for the local Lawns2Lobster group, spoke to the membership and urged each club member to practice responsible lawn care and to learn more about ways each member can help protect our waters from chemical runoff. More information and tips are available at www.lawns2lobsters.org. The scholarship and community donations are made possible through the proceeds of OYGC Annual Plant Sale. Chairperson of the annual plant sale, Marja Mahoney, reported this year’s plant sale a roaring success once again. She thanked the many volunteers who contributed their time and plants to this annual fund raiser. Old York Garden Club would like to thank the York community (and nearby towns) for supporting this event each spring. Proceeds from the plant sale allow the club to support our scholarship fund and

worthwhile community organizations. This summer club members will be busy preparing for Open Gardens 2013. Be sure to look for the colorful brochure to find out when and where to visit this event and check out www.oldyorkgardenclub. org for more information. Old York Garden Club will reconvene next fall at Fellowship Hall of the First Parish Church in York.

Marshwood Education Foundation Awards Spring 2012 Grants SOUTH BERWICK – The Marshwood Education Foundation (MEF) announced the recipients of its spring grants. Two teachers at Marshwood High School were surprised by the MEF “prize patrol” in front of a cafeteria filled with students, and learned for the first time that their projects are to receive MEF grant funds totaling $10,000. “Thank you to Principal Paul Melhorn and Assistant Principal Kelly Glynn for helping us to pull off the surprise and award these grants to two very deserving teachers. We were so pleased to have an audience of kids there to cheer them on,”
said Seth Herbold, MEF vice president. “I hope we can inspire students to come up with their own ideas for new projects to be funded by MEF grants.” The Marshwood Education Foundation, founded in 2009, raises money primarily through community fundraising events and private donations. The organization’s signature event is an Oktoberfest celebration and will be held on Saturday, October 20, at the Regatta Room in Eliot. The MEF has awarded more than $52,000 to date and offers two grant cycles annually, in the fall and spring of each school year.
