KENNEBUNKPORT The Kennebunkport Historical Society (KHS) is pleased to announce an upcoming lecture on the Great Fire of 1887, delivered by guest lecturer and local firefighter, James M. Stockman. Stockman, who has been an integral part of the Kennebunkport firefighting community for the past 45 years, will share his extensive research

and knowledge on the history of firefighting and the impact of the 1887 fire on the town.

Stockman began his firefighting career in 1977 when he purchased Cape Hardware and joined the Wildwood Volunteer Fire Company. Over the years, he has held various positions, including Lieutenant, Captain, Assistant Chief, and Training Officer. On the administrative

He also serves as Chair of the Board for the Kennebunkport Emergency Medical Service, Inc. (KEMS), a local nonprofit ambulance service.

Limited parking restrictions may occur intermittently throughout the project as needed and will be posted with temporary “No Parking” signs in the affected locations.

~ Pets ~ Safe Haven Humane Society WELLS For those of who love animals, it is unthinkable that any person would ever simply desert a dog or cat, abandoning them to fend for themselves against all the cruelty and danger life can throw at them. Safe Haven sees those consequences every day.

Hannah, a beautiful threeyear-old calico, is one victim of such neglect and cruelty. This darling girl arrived as a stray.

She was, of course, typically wary and skittish around people, other cats, quick movements, and

Emma’s Angels NORTH BERWICK Meet sweet Louisiana girl, Bonnie! Bonnie is a spayed, 6month-old Lab/Terrier/Whippet mix from an overcrowded shelter in Louisiana. Bonnie is up-to-date on her vaccinations and ready for her happily ever after.

She gets along with other dogs and would make a wonderful family dog, just a happy, healthy pup looking for a fun family.

If you would like to meet Bonnie, call Emma’s Angels today!

Emma’s Angels Rescue is an all-volunteer, foster-based organization in North Berwick.

Needed at this time: wet and dry cat food. Emma’s Angels has rescued some wonderful cats recently who have cleaned them out! Donations can be left in the drop box at 30 Meeting House Road in North Berwick. Thank you for your support!

loud noises. Hannah had suffered many traumas while living in the wild.

The volunteers decided to allow Hannah to roam freely at the shelter, outside of the cat rooms where other kitties stayed.

This arrangement was great for Hannah, as she soon realized she had nothing to fear at Safe Haven.

Hannah has become a happy lap-sitter at the office desk. She even allows herself to be picked up and hugged. Her happiness and confidence has soared.

When things get busy at the shelter, Hannah completely disappears into one of her hiding places, sending everyone on a search to find her. She is really good at finding hiding places, a skill she learned when she was on her own.

This sweetheart will be happiest in a home where the family simply adores her, and always ensures she is not afraid. A quiet home with quiet people, an understanding cat mom or dad, and Hannah would be blissfully

happy.

Those interested in adopting Hannah may call the shelter or visit the “Adoptable Pets” section on Safe Haven’s website.

The shelter is open weekdays, 11 a.m. - 1:30 p.m., and weekends by appointment. There are many wonderful kitties to meet! Safe Haven’s volunteers enjoy introducing them to new humans.

The shelter has just rescued a desperate kitty named Pretty Boy. Pretty Boy was in horrific condition; his toe and ankle were totally ripped off. Pretty Boy was in pain, walking on bone, and he had lost a lot of blood. He was a stray on a rural property known to be a dumping ground for stray cats.

For a couple of years, Pretty Boy had been cared for by a kind person who provided food, shelter, and a heated doghouse for the homeless cats on her property.

One day, she noticed a black male cat limping around and called every shelter in the area, but none would help. She was eventually referred to Safe Haven, and the volunteers were able to trap him.

Pretty Boy’s surgery cost $7,000, and he is now healing quite well. The damage to his

paw was so severe, his entire right leg had to be amputated up to the shoulder. Pretty Boy is now in the recovery room at the shelter, receiving care, comfort and lots of love. He is all black with the sweetest eyes.

Safe Haven is trying to raise

money to cover some or even all of the surgery costs. Donations of any size help, and can be mailed to Safe Haven, PO Box 91, Wells, ME 04090. To see more photos of Pretty Boy, visit the website or follow Safe Haven on Facebook.

Thank you!

Foodie Fundraiser Brings Sunshine to Domestic Abuse Survivors

STATEWIDE Throughout July, f ine dining and casual restaurants, lobster shacks, ice cream shops, farmer’s market stands, and bakeries across 15 Midcoast towns and two islands are offering a yellow food or drink in support of Finding Our Voices’ “Into the Light!” fundraiser. Sales of the select items go directly to support Finding Our Voices, a statewide outreach network combating domestic violence in Maine by empowering survivor voices and fostering community support.

The organization aims to ensure safety, justice, freedom, and comfort for women and children escaping domestic violence. Yellow is the nonprofit’s signature color, indicating the light it brings to the issue of domestic abuse.

Patrisha McLean, survivor of 29 years of domestic abuse and CEO and founder of Finding Our Voices, said this event gets people talking about domestic abuse as well as raises money for the nonprofit. “Sixty-two Midcoast eateries have taken the time to create a

clever and delicious yellow menu item for us, and in their busiest month of the year are donating money from sales to make life brighter for Maine’s domestic abuse victims. How beautiful is that?”

According to McLean, diners of all budgets can enjoy discovering various ways to prepare yellow ingredients and sampling numerous concoctions, all while knowing that each sip and taste brings light to Maine’s women and child domestic abuse victims. Proceeds from the fundraiser help to purchase critical items that enable women to escape and remain out of danger at home, while also ensuring the safety of their children and pets.

Yellow “Into the Light!” items include mango pineapple habanero smoked chicken wings at Station 118 in Thomaston, lemon and lavender sorbet at Aster & Rose in Lincolnville, spiced potato cakes with fresh poached lobster at Norumbega Inn and corned beef hash benedict at Buttermilk Kitchen in Camden, SUN-daes at Dark Harbor Shop on Islesboro, the “Sunny Days Ahead” cocktail at 18 Central in Rockport, Pork Carnita Tacos with cilantro-lime coleslaw at Dos Gatos Gastropub in Belfast, a strong and bright blend from Rock City Coffee, and the Golden Milk Smoothie Chocolate Bar from Bixby’s in Rockland.

Brian Fickett of Sterlingtown Public House in Union is donating $1 from every Tequila Pineapple Spritz sold during July. “We are honored,” he said, “to collaborate with Finding Our Voices and so many top-notch local businesses to provide for

“Making Water Better!”

Monkfish Stew and Marinara Sauce Qualify for Local Food Fund STATEWIDE The Maine Department of Education (DOE)’s Maine Local Foods Fund was established on July 8, 2021. The initiative incentivizes Maine School Administrative Units (SAUs) to incorporate Maine farm and aquaculture products into school meal programs. It provides a one-dollar match for every three dollars spent by an SAU on locally sourced products, and each Maine SAU is eligible for up to $5,000 in matching funds. All foods purchased using the fund must be grown, caught, or produced in Maine.

The Maine Marinara Collaborative (MCC) comprises the Maine Farm & Sea Cooperative, Healthy Communities of the Capital Area, and Maine Food Group, a Brunswick based processor, and additional partners.

“The Collaborative is excited to receive this qualification from the Department of Education.

We are currently providing Maine Marinara to 19 school districts and this will allow us to provide more Maine grown and produced sauce for students

in the coming year,” said Ron Adams, COO of the Maine Farm & Sea Cooperative.

Maine Coast Monkfish Stew is a joint venture between the Maine Coast Fishermen’s Association and Hurricane’s Premium Soups & Chowders of Greene. The stew was created to help introduce consumers to monkfish, which is a sustainable, yet lesser-known seafood. The stew is a pre-cooked and frozen, ready-to-heat product available for sale at over 70 retail locations across the state. Proceeds benefit the Fishermen Feeding Mainers program. This program supports Maine fishermen by directly purchasing cod, haddock, flounder, pollock, hake, and monkfish at fair prices and donating them to food-insecure communities and schools. ”The recent Local Food Fund qualification allows more Maine schools to offer the stew, a nutritious and easy-to-serve meal, in their cafeterias, all while supporting Maine fishermen,” said Susan Olcott, Director of Operations for the Maine Coast Fishermen’s Association. “The

those that need our help. This is truly what community is all about!”

McLean said to further demonstrate the generosity of the Midcoast business community, 25 Camden store owners have donated yellow items for an “Into the Light!” raffle tied to how many yellow menu items a person orders.

Every uploaded selfie with a purchased “Into the Light!” item enters the buyer into a drawing to win yellow gift basket. The bounty includes a signed yellowcovered Chris Van Dusen book from Owl & Turtle, yellow Penobscot Bay coasters from Leslie Curtis Designs, a yellow vintage

Maine license plate from Upper Vintage, a yellow leather wallet from Leather Bench, and selection of yellow delectables from French & Brawn.

Other business contributing to the fundraiser include Windsor Chairmakers in Lincolnville, Seasons Downeast Designs in Rockport, Glendarragh Lavender Shop in Camden, Lily Lupine and Fern in Camden, and Barnswallow Books in Rockport. First National Bank is the lead sponsor, with further support provided by Lucinda Watson, Borden Cottage, Dirigo Law Group, and Viking Lumber.

Maine Coast Fishermen’s Association is dedicated to helping Maine fishermen expand new markets for their catch, especially under-utilized fish species such as monkfish, pollock and flounder. The Department of Education’s cash match for schools interested in purchasing the stew will help to expand sales to institutions and provide additional revenue to fishermen, while also providing a locally sourced, healthy meal option for Maine students. And kids love it!”

“The Monkfish Stew taste testing appears to be a hit!” exclaims Vicki Dill, Head Chef at Whitefield Elementary. “Some kids said they would like it every day... it was a fan favorite, twoto-one!”

Each product shares its own unique quality. The production focuses on utilizing underused, under-appreciated Maine grown or caught products that often go to waste, and upcycles them utilizing a local processor, into healthy nutritious meal offerings for Maine students.

“The Maine Marinara Collaborative focuses on purchasing imperfect produce, or seconds, and uses them to create a delicious marinara sauce for school lunches. It’s estimated that 33% of all food grown in Maine is left in the field. Utilizing the blemished tomato or the curly carrot can help provide Maine farmers with a new revenue stream, while providing local ingredients for a healthy school lunch,” said Ron Adams, Chief Operations Officer for Maine Farm & Sea Cooperative.

Both organizations believe that the certification can help schools provide healthy, locally-sourced meals for their students without requiring additional staff. Many schools lack adequate kitchen staff, cooking skills, or even the proper equipment for scratch cooking and are instead reliant on heat-and-serve, prepackaged foods. Maine Marinara and Maine Coast Monkfish Stew offer a local, sustainable alternative to school lunch foods See FOOD on page 30 . . .

graduated as valedictorian of her class from Berwick Academy before going on to obtain her degree in Education from the University of Maine. From there, she went on to obtain another degree in computer science. This led Janice to a career in IT Support for GTE Sylvania and for Hannaford. She and her husband, Paul, went on to raise their daughter, Sarah, and her two stepsons, Nathan and Kyle, together in the Berwick area.

Janice had a love for all things hot air balloons, which she passed on for generations.

Crewing for a hot air balloon led Janice and her husband to many trips near and far, creating wonderful friendships and countless fond memories. She also adored traveling in general, but especially to Bar Harbor and to the coast of Maine. Janice also enjoyed playing cribbage with her husband at their weekly cribbage group at the local library.

Most importantly though, Janice loved her family. As a wife, a mother, and grandmother of two, her family always knew just how much she loved them. Janice would often be found spoiling her granddaughters and picking up surprises for them at local yard sales. She enjoyed spending time with them as much as possible. Janice always had a furry companion

– a loving lab – in the house to share her love. She could always be found with a dog treat in her pocket, even when the dog was still at home.

Janice is preceded in death by her loving parents, Roland and Marcella Patry.

Left to cherish her memory are her loving husband, Paul Huppe; children, Sarah Behun and husband Steven of Nottingham, NH, Nathan Huppe of Dover, NH, and Kyle Huppe and partner Tammy Lake of Waltham, MA; brother Ronald Patry of California; brothers-inlaw, Dave Huppe and partner Alice Bettencourt of Somersworth, and Marc Huppe and wife Tracey of Bellevue, NE; and granddaughters, Ava and Adalyn Behun.

WELLS – Dawn Marie Saporito of Wells passed away peacef ully July 9, 2024, at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston after a nearly 19-year

battle with Myeloma.

Dawn was born in North Babylon, NY, on October 22, 1973, the daughter of Daniel and Donna DeVita. She spent her childhood and school years in North Babylon, later on working there as a beautician. Dawn attended college at SUNY Delhi and Adelphia University, majoring in accounting. She then completed her bachelor’s degree in accounting and began working for a firm in New York City.

On September 1, 2001, Dawn married Charles Saporito, and they welcomed their first child, Brandon, on April 1, 2002. Shortly after, the family relocated to Wells to be near Dawn’s family. After working as an accountant for a few years, they welcomed their second child, Alexandra, on August 13, 2005.

Soon after, Dawn was diagnosed with cancer, but continued to carry herself, and care for her family as if she were not sick.

Dawn and Charles would help with school and town events, enrolled their kids in sports, and were there to support them through all of their endeavors.

Dawn made absolutely certain that her family would not miss out on any of life’s activities and beauty, all the while fighting a very difficult battle for her health. That was Dawn.

Regardless of how she was feeling, mentally or physically, everyone else came first to her.

She brought joy, comfort and happiness to everyone she ever came in contact with, and was dearly loved by so many she had touched with her shining light of a personality. Truly the kindest and caring of people.

Dawn was predeceased by her mot her, Don na, in September of 2020, and uncle Den DeVita. Surviving are her husband of 22 years, Charles Saporito of Wells; son Brandon and daughter Alexandra (Ali); father Daniel DeVita; brother Dennis DeVita, his wife Lisa, their son Brandon Moreau, his wife Katie, and their son Kohen; s te p mot he r-i n-l aw No r m a Saporito; aunt and uncle John and Sue Samenfeld, uncle Don and aunt Carol DeVita, and aunt

James Virgil Quimby, 80 WELLS – James (Jim) Virgil Quimby of Wells, was born in Clarks Harbor, Cape Sable Island, Nova Scotia, CAN, on July 18, 1944. His parents, Reverend Ber nard and Virginia Quimby, pastored a parsonage and main church at West Head, with a circuit of two other churches in Charlesville and Bear Point on the mainland. Bernard and Virginia left the island with Jim and his sister, JoAnne, to return to Maine for a short time.

The family later moved to New Hampshire to live in Whitefield, Belmont and Littleton. In 1957, the family settled in Bell Gardens, CA. Jim worked for the Santa Fe Railroad for 24 years and the Foursquare Church for nine years before moving back to Maine in June of 1998.

Jim’s family comes from a long line of Christian pastors and although his dad was a pastor, Jim did not feel he had the Quimby calling to follow suit. His gifts were helping people, telling stories, friendship, and being a fun-loving father and faithful husband.

Jim’s children were his joy. His colorful and detailed stories about his Downeast relatives made others smile and laugh.

Jim’s favorite places were Jonesport and Beals Island.

Jim entered into his eternal home on June 18, 2024. He is predeceased by his parents, Reverend Bernard Quimby and Virginia (Alley) Quimby.

Jim is survived by his wife Kathlee (Daggett) Quimby; sister JoAnne Bailey of Emig ra nt Gap, C A; ch i ld re n, Erik Quimby and wife Kari

Quimby of Long Beach, CA, Dale Quimby and wife Lani Quimby of Long Beach, CA, and Sarah (Quimby) Loewen and husband J.R. Loewen of Kingfisher, OK; stepsons, Jeffrey and Matthew Winters; six grandchildren, Jacob and Jozie Loewen, Seth, Abigail, Caleb and Ezra Quimby; and nephews, great nephews, and nieces.

“Life is easy, when you’re up on the mountain / And you’ve got peace of mind, like you’ve never known / But things change when you’re down in the valley / Don’t lose faith, for you’re never alone / The God of the day is still God in the night.”

A Celebration of life was held Thursday, June 20, followed by interment at Oceanview Cemetery in Wells. Arrangements are entrusted to the Johnson Funeral Home in North Berwick.

Lehoux Art Announces Grand Opening WELLS Lehoux Art, a local business established in 2015, is thrilled to announce the grand opening of its new gift shop and gallery space at 1662 Post Road, Suite B2, in Wells.

Fou nd ed by Da n iel le Lehoux (pronounced Le-hoo), a graphic artist born and raised in Cape Neddick, Lehoux Art offers high-quality art prints, cards, souvenirs, and home décor items. All products are designed in Maine and made in the USA, available in both retail and wholesale. Lehoux Art is proud to be a woman-owned business and a member of the Maine Made program.

Lehoux’s work, created using a stylus and touchscreen laptop, evokes joy and nostalgia through digitally painted subjects. Her art features popular landmarks, serene coastal scenes, and favorite birds, and aims to create meaningful connections with others.

Dan iel le’s passion for art began in her youth, with countless hours spent drawing, shaping clay, dabbling in printmaking, and painting. During her college years, she discovered graphic art, which quickly

became her preferred medium.

Her unique style is reminiscent of vintage “See America” National Parks posters.

In addition to her artwork, Danielle hopes her new space will be a gathering place for the community. Future plans include hosting other Maine artisans and offering small workshops, fostering a creative and welcoming environment. “I’m envisioning a gathering place for anyone looking to be creative in a non-intimidating atmosphere,” says Lehoux.

Stay; For Life’s Angela Whitten Receives Award Donation WELLS The K raf t Family and New England Patriots Foundation recently celebrated the 2024 Myra Kraft Community MVP Award winners, recognizing 26 volunteers across New England for their contributions to their communities. The awards ceremony took place at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, MA, where $275,000 in donations were distributed to the various nonprofits. Twenty-five organizations each received $10,000, and one New England nonprofit received this year’s grand prize of $25,000.

Since 1998, the Kraft family and the New England Patriots Foundation have been recognizing volunteers for going above and beyond to give back to their communities through the Myra Kraft Community MVP Awards program. Formerly known as the Community Quarterback Awards, this volunteer recognition was renamed in 2011 in memory of Myra Kraft.

Angela Whitten of Wells was recognized as one of this year’s honorees, and was presented with a $10,000 donation for Stay; For Life. In 2022, Angela’s son Trent took his life at 18 years old. She took this tragedy and turned it into a fight for the lives of others, founding Stay; For Life. Through her nonprofit she holds public events, speaks at schools, works with suicide loss survivors, distributes crisis prevention materials and plans

to create mental health kits.

“The stigma surrounding men’s mental health has been accepted by our society for far too long. Through the work done

by Stay; For Life we are making incredible strides to break this notion,” said Angela. “Even though still in its infancy age, it is proving to be a force to be reckoned with – and this recognition simply solidifies this fact.”

Angela focuses her work on taking away the stigma men face to be strong – battling the statistic that one in five men struggle with mental health and are more likely to die by suicide.

She established a man-to-man peer support group for her community, resulting in men deciding to seek counseling.

YLT Receives Grant, Expands Team, Launches First Stewardship Fundraiser YORK York Land Trust (YLT) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to conserving and protecting natural lands and waterways in the greater York area for the benefit of the community and the environment. Recently, YLT announced several developments aimed at fulfilling its strategic goals for land stewardship, including habitat restoration, enhancing accessibility, and supporting its increasing land management efforts.

Land stewardship is the responsible management and care of land and natural resources to maintain and enhance their health, productivity, and ecological integrity. It involves a variety of practices and principles aimed at conserving, restoring, and sustainably using the land, ensuring that it remains viable for wildlife, plant species, and the community.

“Scaling up our stewardship efforts is crucial to preserving the integrity of our natural landscapes and ensuring they

thrive for future generations,” said Amelia Nadilo, Executive Director, York Land Trust. “By expanding our initiatives, we can more effectively combat environmental challenges, enhance biodiversity, and foster a deeper connection between the community and the land. Our commitment to this mission is unwavering, as we believe that a healthier planet benefits us all.”

In partnership with the Northeast Bird Habitat Conservation Initiative, York Land Trust recently received a $7,000 grant from Cornell University to be used for field restoration work and habitat enhancement for field nesting birds along the Upper York River. Restoration and enhancement efforts will focus on restoring native vegetation to the area and improving soil health.

YLT will also use the funds to educate and promote bird-friendly field restoration and management practices among local partners and landowners.

Grassland birds are largely in decline in the United States due to loss of habitat and specific agricultural practices. YLT’s preserves are part of the Ag Allies Collaborative and are voluntarily managed to protect grassland bird habitat.

In addition, York Land Trust expanded its staff with the hiring of a new Stewardship Coordinator. Evelyn Brown joined YLT in June 2024 and brings with her a wealth of experience in restoration ecology and a deep commitment to land conservation, making her a valuable addition to the team. She holds a B.S. in Environmental Science from The Ohio State University and previously served as a crew member with Utah Conservation Corps, and as a Marine Fisheries Observer with NOAA. York Land Trust’s stewardship responsibilities have significantly expanded over the years as it conserves more land and enhances recreational opportuni-

ties. To support these efforts, the organization is launching its first Online Stewardship Fundraiser, which is running now through Sunday, July 28. The funds raised will help improve public access to trails, expand management activities, and provide much needed resources for its land stewards. For more information, visit https://givebutter.com/c/ylt.

“This summer has truly been the summer of stewardship, and we’ve seen incredible progress in our efforts to conserve and restore our natural landscapes,” said YLT Stewardship Director, Liz Walworth. “Our dedicated staff and volunteers work tirelessly to protect vital habitats, enhance biodiversity, and engage our community in sustainable practices. Together, we’ve made significant strides towards ensuring a healthier and more resilient local environment for generations to come.”

YLT stewards 3,600 acres of conserved lands, including

Foundation and Gillette, as one of the top 26 nonprofit organizations in New England is an amazing privilege,” said Angela.

“I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunities presented to me through my volunteer work to, in fact, save lives. I can’t possibly relay my depth of appreciation for the recognition in receiving the 2024 Myra Kraft Community MVP award.”

Gillette, a longtime supporter of the New England Patriots and a cornerstone partner of the Patriots Foundation, served as the presenting sponsor for this year’s program. On hand to congratulate the award winners were President of the New England Patriots Foundation Josh Kraft; Patriots, College and Pro Football Hall of Famer and Patriots Executive Director of Community Affairs Andre Tippett; and Gillette’s VP of Communications & Community Affairs, Global Grooming, Kara Buckley.

The 2024 Myra Kraft Community MVP winners range from 14 to 85 years old and represent four of the six New England states. Since its inception, the Myra Kraft Community MVP Awards program has recognized more than 500 volunteers and donated more than $3.75 million to support nonprofit organizations across New England.

For more information, visit www.patriots.com/community.

Public Access Preserves, Limited Access Preserves, and Conservation Easements. Since 2002, YLT has worked with local, state and federal partners through the Mt. Agamenticus to the Sea Conservation Initiative (MtA2C) to protect more than 15,500 acres of conserved land and open space within a 48,000-acre focus area that includes more than 50 miles of hiking trails across 30 public preserves.

~ Arts & Entertainment ~ Silent Comedy “Steamboat Bill Jr.” at Leavitt Theatre OGUNQUIT Silent film with live music returns to the Leavitt Theatre with “Steamboat Bill Jr.” (1928), a classic comedy starring Buster Keaton, one of the era’s top comedians. “Steamboat Bill Jr.” will be revived for one showing only at Ogunquit’s historic Leavitt Theatre. The screening will feature live accompaniment by New Hampshire-based composer Jeff Rapsis.

In “Steamboat Bill Jr.,” Keaton plays the bumbling son of a riverboat’s rough captain.

When a rival brings a newer boat to the river, the family is forced to face competition, just as Keaton is forced to ride out a cyclone threatening to destroy the community. Can Buster save the day and win the hand of his girlfriend, who happens to be the daughter of his father’s business rival?

The film is renowned for its impressive stunts, including the iconic scene where a building facade collapses around Keaton, who remains unscathed thanks to him standing in the right spot.

The film is a blend of comedy, romance, and daring physical comedy that showcases Keaton’s comedic genius and athleticism.

Keaton, who grew up performing with the family vaudeville act, was known for never smiling on camera, an important element of his comic identity. A trained acrobat who learned at an early age how to take falls, Keaton did all his own stunts on camera in an era before postproduction special effects.

Critics continue to hail Keaton’s timeless comedy as well as his intuitive filmmaking genius.

In 2002, Roger Ebert wrote of Keaton that “in an extraordinary period from 1920 to 1929, he worked without interruption on a series of films that make him, arguably, the greatest actor-director in the history of the movies.”

Keaton, who never attended school, did not think of himself as an artist but as an entertainer using the new medium of motion pictures to tell stories and create laughter.

Rapsis specializes in creating music for silent film presentations. He will create the accompaniment on the spot, improvising music as the movie unfolds to enhance the action on the screen as well respond to audience reactions. Jeff will perform the music on a digital synthesizer capable of producing a wide range of theatre organ and orchestral textures.

“Live music was an integral part of the silent film experience,” Rapsis said. “Because most films at the time weren’t released with sheet music or scores, studios depended on local musicians to come up with an effective score that was different in every theater. At its best, this approach created an energy and a connection that added a great deal to a film’s impact. That’s what I try to recreate,” Rapsis said.

Buster Keaton’s classic comedy will be screened on Wednesday, July 24 at 7 p.m.

The Leavitt Theatre is located at 259 Main Street (Route 1), in Ogunquit. Admission is $15 per person.

Hebb, a former principal dancer with New York City’s Rebecca Kelly Ballet, utilizes her vast experience in contemporary ballet and modern dance forms to explore themes of interaction, harmony and discord in her choreography, as well as the dancers’ relationship to one another and to diverse musical scores. Her newest work, set to an electronic soundscape, explores themes of division and empathy, investigating how it feels to walk in someone else’s shoes. “Pathways” is a collection of sweeping solos and interconnected groupings that explore how divergent roads can meet and deviate, and often lead to the unexpected. “Crazy,” a playful quintet, is set to and inspired by the songs of the legendary Patsy Cline. In “Two Cellos,” thoughtful duets and quartets connect and respond to the emotional resonance captured in the music of composer Jean-Baptiste Barrière.

Completing this special program is the premiere of “Zephyr,” a new original work by choreographer and longtime company member Meghan

~ Arts & Entertainment ~ Celebrated Irish Fiddler Gerry O’Connor Comes to Kennebunk KENNEBUNK Gerry O’Connor, one of the most celebrated Irish fiddlers of today, will appear in concert in Kennebunk on Wednesday, July 24 at 7:30 p.m. The concert is part of the long-running “Concerts in the West K!” series, and will take place in the series’ new home at the Dane Street Program Center of the Brick Store Museum.

O’Connor grew up in the town of Dundalk, County Louth, Ireland, in a family of musicians, dancers, and singers. His mother, Rose (née O’Brien) was a fiddler who taught him and his siblings the fiddle at home. His father, Peter, was a singer. As a young man, O’Connor won numerous All-Ireland awards as both a solo artist and as a member of duos, trios, and bands. Playing with County Sligo fiddle master John Joe Gardiner in the 1970s was an important step in O’Connor developing his own fluid and lyrical fiddle style. He also credits his experience as a step-dancer in giving his music its rocksteady rhythm and lively pulse.

Joining Gerry will be Portland guitarist and singer Kevin McElroy. For the past three decades McElroy has performed regularly with such luminaries as Seamus Connolly, Brendan Tonra, and Joe Burke. He and O’Connor were brought together by their shared love of

fiddles and fiddle-making; they share a wealth of mutual inspirations and musical influences.

O’Connor’s expressive melodies and McElroy’s tasteful accompaniment come together through a seamless bit of musical alchemy.

The Brick Store Museum is located at 117 Main Street in Kennebunk, adjacent to the Town Hall, and across the street from the Unitarian Church and town library. The Dane Street Program Center is directly behind the main museum building. There is open seating for the concert on a first-come, first-served basis. Admission is $20 per person at the door.

Kathleen Robbins is the featured artist on YAA’s Artist Wall, showcasing her artwork from now through Sunday, July 28. Robbins, a resident of the Button Factory Artist Studios in Portsmouth, NH, draws inspiration from various sources, including still life and landscapes of the Seacoast area and recently, the Maine coast.

Her process involves building paintings through the dynamic interplay of color, line, and surface, creating a distinct dialogue between representation and abstraction. At the heart of Robbins’ work lies an intuitive response to fleeting moments in time.

Layers are built upon or removed to create the final piece as the painting takes on life of its own. The surface is often calm, and time is often suspended, as the viewer experiences the everpresent tension on the verge of movement and change. How one object or shape affects the

Health & Fitness Wildlife Conservation, Outdoor Recreational Access STATEWIDE Earlier this year, Maine legislators announced over $15 million in funding from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) to support wildlife conservation and outdoor recreational access statewide.

FWS allocated $11,083,927 through the Wildlife Restoration Program and $3,927,958 through the Sport Fish Restoration Program. This funding is part of the more than $1.3 billion in apportionments FWS announced for states, commonwealths, and territories.

“In face of the worsening climate crisis, it is critically important states have the resources needed to conserve and protect our lands and waters, ensure ecosystems are healthy, and connect people with nature,” said Representative Chellie Pingree, who helped to draft the legislation. “This significant federal funding is great news for the fish, wildlife, and habitats in Maine and for the communities of people that enjoy our incredible land-

scapes – now and for generations to come.”

“Around the country, Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration funding supports collaborative wildlife and habitat conservation, fish and wildlife health, clean water and outdoor access efforts of our state, commonwealth and territorial partner agencies,” said FWS Director Martha Williams. “This vital funding fosters efforts to monitor and manage our nation’s fish and wildlife resources, supports hunter and aquatic education, improves access for outdoor pursuits like hunting, fishing and boating and connects people to wildlife and wild places.”

The Wildlife Restoration Program provides funds to fish and wildlife agencies for projects to restore, conserve, manage and enhance wild birds and mammals and their habitat. The Program was first authorized by the Wildlife Restoration (PittmanRobertson) Act of 1937.

The Sport Fish Restoration Program provides funds to fish and wildlife agencies for fishery

projects, boating access, and aquatic education. It was created in 1950, with the passing of the Sport Fish Restoration (DingellJohnson) Act of 1950.

Along with the more than $28 billion distributed to date through annual apportionments, partner fish and wildlife agencies have contributed approximately $9 billion in investments throughout the program’s history. Through these combined funds, agencies have supported the annual stocking of over 1 billion fish, managed and monitored over 500 species of wild mammals and birds, provided hunter education to millions of students, and constructed or renovated over 800 target ranges.

Earlier this year, the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, in partnership with the Great Works Regional Land Trust, was awarded a $395,000 FWS grant to support conservation efforts in Maine’s Piscataqua/Great Bay estuary system.

In the summer of 2023, Pingree welcomed FWS Director Martha Williams to Maine

Nathaniel Gomes Awarded ConvenientMD Scholarship

Blood Drive at Church on the Cape KENNEBUNK The Church on the Cape in Kennebunkport is teaming up with the Red Cross to organize a blood drive on Friday, July 26 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The drive takes place at the church, located at 3 Langsford Road in Cape Porpoise. The Church’s partnership with the Red Cross seeks to meet the continued demand for blood donations throughout the United States.

The statistics are stark: every two seconds, someone in the U.S. requires blood. By partnering with the Red Cross, the

for a tour of the Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge where they got a first-hand look at how the Refuge and FWS are working to protect native Maine shorebirds like saltmarsh sparrows and piping plovers. Pingree also oversaw a funding increase for the FWS, securing $519 million for the National Wildlife Refuge System.

For details, email pingreepress@mail.house.gov.

Church on the Cape hopes to rally the community to participate in this life-saving endeavor.

Donors are encouraged to pre-register, which helps to ensure a smooth operation during the drive, and can do so online at www.redcrossblood. org using the code 04046, or by calling 800-733-2767 (800-RED-CROSS). Pre-registration not only guarantees a convenient donation time but also assists the Red Cross in adequately staffing the event.

For those looking to give back to their community, participating in the Church on the Cape’s blood drive presents an opportunity to make a positive impact in someone else’s life.

By coming together on this day, residents of Kennebunkport and beyond can help ensure that vital blood supplies are available whenever and wherever they are needed most.

Every donation counts and can make a significant difference in someone’s life. Donating blood truly is the “Gift of Life!”

FINANCE & CAREER Bill To Allow Reusable Containers Approved

By Maine Legislature

STATEWIDE When Castine business owner Kate Pilotte wanted to offer her meal kit customers reusable packaging, she was told Maine food regulations would not allow it. Pilotte then asked her State Senator to file a bill that would amend state law so local entrepreneurs have the option to safely offer reusable containers as a way to reduce plastic pollution and waste.

“LD 2091 will open the door for companies around Maine to make decisions that are right for their business, safely meet customer demands, relieve burdens on local municipalities tasked with waste disposal, and explore new business models,” said Kate Pilotte, owner of Farm and Fish, a locally sourced meal kit service,

in testimony delivered before the Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry Committee. “Customers want this, but I can’t respond because the law obstructs my ability to do so.”

Reusable food and beverage packaging options for event venues, in-house dining, retail, and take-out services are popping up throughout the country. Many businesses provide reusable, returnable container programs because it saves them money and provides a better experience for their customers. Innovative third-party businesses are also being created to support the logistics and sanitation for businesses that provide reusable and returnable containers for their customers.

tions should be able to without our laws blocking them,” said Vanessa Berr y, Sustainable Maine Program Manager at the Natural Resources Council of Maine. “This bill will allow for a safe transition to reusable packaging for a broad range of businesses, which will save money for those businesses, reduce

taxpayer burdens, and reduce waste.”

The disposal and management of packaging waste in Maine is estimated to cost property taxpayers at least $16 million a year. LD 2091 will help reduce taxpayer costs for municipal waste disposal by reducing the amount of single-use packaging

“It’s exciting to see new foods that are ready-to-eat, packed with wholesome and local ingredients, and that qualify for LFF reimbursement. It diminishes a lot of the barriers schools face in bringing fresh, local food to their students. The Fishermen Feeding Mainers program has already been popular with schools from Aroostook to York Counties since 2019, and with the addition of a value-added item that utilizes the same Gulf of Maine fish, this is an exciting continuation of an inspiring success story of sea-to-school in Maine!” says Robin Kerber, Implementation Manager at Full Plates Full Potential.

“We are thrilled that the Maine Marinara Collaborative’s Marinara Sauce and Maine Coast Fishermen’s Association’s
