“The Spitfire Grill” at Hackmatack Playhouse BERWICK The show at Hackmatack Playhouse this summer is funny, sentimental and remarkably relevant for the summer of 2021. “The Spitfire Grill,” opening August 6 is about a community that is coming together and rebuilding from a fresh start, even featuring a song called “Come Alive Again.” “The whole idea of having had such dramatic events that have changed people’s lives really resonates this summer,” said Artistic Director Danielle Howard. “The Spitfire Grill” tells the story of an elderly woman, Hannah, who owns a ramshackle diner she wants to sell. A young woman named Percy, who was recently released from prison, arrives in town and is hired as a waitress. Instead of selling the grill, Percy suggests raffling it off for $100 and the best essay about why they should own the diner. “The Spitfire Grill” actually started the real-life craze several decades ago of people raffling off inns and restaurants, according to Hackmatack owner Michael Guptill. In fact, Guptill has been waiting to do this show for more than a decade and final-

Mai Hartwich plays Percy in “The Spitﬁre Grill”

ly got it on the schedule last year. Then, just when he thought they would present this “lovely, lovely show… this very sweet musical”, he once again had to delay the show due to COVID. The 2001 Off-Broadway Musical by James Valcq and Fred Alley was based on a 1996 film by Lee David Zlotoff. Although the show was set in Wisconsin, the original movie was set in Maine. Hannah is played by Mary Lou Bagley of South Berwick and Percy is played by Mai Hartwich, a UNH graduate based in Chicago. The actors who are playing two of the leads bring special qualities that make their roles come alive. “Mary Lou was born to play Hannah,” said Howard. “She is a strong Maine woman and can bring out the prickliness, feistiness and strength of Hannah while also letting you into her heart so you get to understand why she is the way she is.” As for Hartwich, who recently appeared in “All Shook Up” in Newburyport, “Not only is she an incredibly expressive and amazing singer, she also understands the armor Percy uses to protect herself,” Howard said. “She gets Percy’s hard edge, but she also gets her vulnerability. It’s her journey we follow from the beginning to the end so she has to be a person you can emSee PLAYHOUSE page 25...

Governor Mills Declares First Annual Wild Blueberry Weekend AUGUSTA With Maine’s blueberry season just around the corner, Governor Janet Mills declared August 7-8, 2021 as Maine’s first annual Wild Blueberry Weekend. The Governor made the announcement during a celebration at the Blaine House, where she was joined by a diverse group of wild blueberry growers and processors, Patricia Kontur of the Wild Blueberry Commission of Maine, and Amanda Beal, Commissioner of the Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry. The event featured a tasting of a number of wild

ice cream shops, and distilleries selling them during Wild Blueberry Weekend.” Wild Blueberry Weekend will feature farm tours and other family-friendly activities at 15 wild blueberry farms located in Franklin, Hancock, Kennebec, Knox, Piscataquis, and Washington counties. Additionally, wild blueberry-themed menu items and products will be available throughout the weekend at more than 50 statewide restaurants, inns, breweries, wineries, ice cream shops, and distilleries. To see the full list of participants, visit www.wildblueberryweekend.com. “Both Mainers and visitors will have the chance to learn that wild blueberries are distinctly different than ordinary blueberries, and have a rich, cultural history, said Lisa Hanscom owner of Welch Farm in Roque Bluffs and chair of the Wild Blueberry Weekend grower committee. “Wild blueberries are grown and harvested in a way that is truly unique to our Maine coastal landscape.”

Red Cross: Emergency Need for Donors STATEWIDE The American Red Cross has an emergency need for lifesaving blood amid the ongoing severe blood shortage. Blood and platelet donations continue to be critical to meet hospital demand and the public is urged to make an appointment to give now. The Red Cross has been distributing about 12% more blood products to hospitals across the U.S. compared to this time last year. The Red Cross needs to collect more than 1,000 additional blood donations each day to meet the current hospital demand and end the severe blood shortage. Donors of all blood types are needed, especially type O, which stands at just a one-day supply right now.

blueberry-themed products, as well as fresh wild blueberries that are being harvested now. Last year, Maine farmers harvested nearly 60 million pounds of wild blueberries. “I am proud to declare the first annual Wild Blueberry Weekend in Maine to honor the importance of Maine’s wild blueberries and the hardworking Maine people who grow and bring them to market,” said Governor Janet Mills. “I encourage everyone to visit one of the participating wild blueberry farms or to sample Maine-grown wild blueberry products at the many restaurants, inns, breweries, wineries,

Public Invited to Share Ideas on Clean Transportation

AUGUSTA The public is invited to ask questions and share ideas, suggestions and strategies with the Governor’s Office of Policy Innovation and the Future (GOPIF) during a virtual meeting Thursday, August 5, about the development of a Clean Transportation Roadmap for Maine. Created by executive order of Gov. Janet Mills, the roadmap will help accelerate Maine’s progress in reducing greenhouse gas emissions from transportation by making recommendations to enhance the electric vehicle market in Maine, expand charging infrastructure, evaluate effects on

electric utilities and the grid, and ensure an equitable and affordable transition to clean transportation for all people in Maine. Reducing emissions from transportation – which is the source of more than half of all greenhouse gas emissions in Maine – is a key piece of Maine’s overall effort to curb state emissions by 45% by 2030. The state’s climate action plan, Maine Won’t Wait, estimates Maine needs 219,000 light-duty EVs on the road by 2030 to meet its emissions targets. The roadmap will also examine other recommendations to reduce transportation emissions such as increasing effi-

~ Arts and Entertainment ~ KW Contemporary Art to Present Over the Pond Exhibit KENNEBUNK KW Contemporary Art, 184 Port Road, Kennebunk, is pleased to present Over the Pond, a new exhibition with Jeremy Houghton. Houghton favors themes of space and light to capture the stillness amid movement. The subjects that characterize these scenes are illuminated by his focus on the spaces in which the bodies linger, shimmer, move and often take flight. The show title suggests themes inspired by pursuits both in air and water, and from all corners of the Atlantic and will be on display August 6-September 1, 2021. KW Contemporary Art will celebrate the opening of this new exhibition Saturday, August 7, from 5-7 p.m. All are invited to attend. Over the last twenty years Houghton has been invited to detail the life of a number of high-profile communities, from those at Windsor Castle and Highgrove to 2017’s Wimbledon championships, and the competitors at the 2012 Olympics and

Paralympics. With each of these projects Houghton goes beyond public perception, documenting instead the everyday scenes that characterize an event or place. Although Houghton’s focus ranges quite widely, his technique remains a constant. Emphasis on painted shapes of light and space, (or unpainted paper with his watercolors), contrasting against areas of liquid color enables his subjects to glimmer in the liminal territory between figuration and abstraction. With extraneous detail removed, the paintings are hard to place, giving them an ahistorical quality that serves to underline their fluidity.

Rebel Without A Clue – A Way-Off Broadway Memoir at The Center

KENNEBUNK With persistence, patience and pluck, Kennebunk writer/ artist Steve Hrehovcik reveals how he became an expert on survival in his book Rebel Without A Clue – A Way-Off Broadway Memoir. Blending a candid confessional with a sense of humor, Hrehovcik describes his turbulent, often farcical, journey in a desperate search for a career in the theater. Hrehovcik makes a presentation and book signing

at The Center, 175 Port Road, (Route 35) Kennebunk Lower Village on Thursday, August 5 at 3 p.m. Never giving up, his story also reveals how he managed to carry on with some semblance of dignity and achieve a few surprising triumphs along the way – most important, a marriage of 56 years, three remarkable children and a wonderful grandson. At the end of each chapter Hrehovcik includes a cartoon draw-

ing, adding fun to the theme of his story. Kate Jollie, Executive Director of The Center, said, “We’re pleased to have Steve make the presentation of his book. In addition to reading from his book and showing the cartoons, Steve will discuss some of the advantages of self-publishing as part of his presentation. This is just one of the many classes, support See MEMOIR page 10...

Buster Keaton at Leavitt Theatre OGUNQUIT He never smiled on camera, earning him the nickname of “the Great Stone Face.” But Buster Keaton’s comedies rocked Hollywood’s silent era with laughter throughout the 1920s. See for yourself with a screening of ‘Seven Chances’ (1925), one of Keaton’s landmark feature films, on Wednesday, August 4 at 7 p.m. at the Leavitt Theatre, 259 Main St., Route 1 in Ogunquit. Admission is $12 per person. Live music for the movie will be provided by silent film accompanist Jeff Rapsis. Adapted from a stage play, the story finds Buster learning that he’ll inherit $7 million if he’s married by 7 p.m. on his 27th birthday—that very day! Buster’s hurried attempts to tie the knot on his own go awry. But then a newspaper story changes the game, creating an avalanche of would-be brides who relentlessly pursue Buster as

Buster Keaton ponders how to find a bride before sundown in ‘Seven Chances’ (1925)

he searches for his one true love before the deadline. A remarkable pantomime artist, Keaton naturally used his whole body to communicate emotions from sadness to surprise. And in an era with no post-production special effects, Keaton’s acrobatic talents enabled him to perform all his own stunts, including some spectacular examples in ‘Seven Chances.’ In reviving Keaton’s ‘Seven Chances,’ the Leavitt Theatre aims to show silent film as it was meant to be seen—in restored prints, on a large screen, with live music, and with an audience. “All those elements are important parts of the silent film experience,” said Rapsis, who will accompany the film. “Recreate those conditions, and classics of early Hollywood such as ‘Seven Chances’ leap back to life in ways that audiences still find entertaining.” Rapsis performs on a digital synthesizer that reproduces the texture of the full orchestra, creating a traditional “movie score” sound. He improvises the complete score in real time during the screening. “Creating a movie score on the fly is kind of a high-wire act, but it can often make for more excitement than if everything is planned out in advance,” Rapsis said.

~ Arts & Entertainment ~ Exhibit Explores Local Scottish Legacy SOUTH BERWICK Old Berwick Historical Society’s Counting House Museum exhibit “Unwilling Immigrants: From the Scottish Battlefield to the New World, 1650” is now open. The panel and touchscreen exhibit, produced at Durham University in England, is expanded at the Counting House Museum with a display of artifacts and images that recount the experience of the Dunbar battle prisoners who arrived in southern New Hampshire and Maine as indentured servants and settled in the Berwicks, leaving a long and proud Scottish legacy in the town of South Berwick. The companion exhibit

focuses on four soldiers from Scotland, who survived starvation, imprisonment, and travails at sea to become sawyers, farmers and carpenters in New England. It features items from the museum’s collection, including materials from the 17th-century Chadbourne house and sawmill site, as well as objects loaned from local collectors. The exhibit was partially funded by a grant from the NHSCOT Fund. The Counting House Museum, 2 Liberty Street, South Berwick, is open June - October on Saturdays 1-4 p.m. and by appointment.

~ Arts & Entertainment ~ Mending As A Thread Through Art KENNEBUNK Illustration Institute is excited to announce this summer’s exhibition, “The Art of Mending” at the Brick Store Museum in Kennebunk. One of the most beautiful characteristics of human nature is our desire to fix that which is broken. This inclination is especially poignant during and after tumultuous times.

This exhibit will focus on three interpretations of mending: practical mending, aesthetic mending and cultural mending. In their artist statement for the show Kristin Shiga says, “Ten years ago, I started the body of work that would become known as “Unfinished, Damaged and Broken.” I invited friends and colleagues to empty their caches of objects they had held on to – sometimes for decades – though

they were unfinished, damaged or broken. I have been mending, repurposing and protecting these and other objects like them ever since.” Other artists, like Judy Walsh, have used the art of mending as a way of engaging the community in a conversation about healing “This quilt is sewn from the scraps of more than one thousand cloth masks – masks I made from March through December 2020. Making the face masks and then the quilt was really about mending my heart which was broken by the state of our nation, by the mounting number of deaths from the coroSee MENDING page 12...

WELLS This kitty, Tigger, is just not for everyone. If you’re not cat experienced, Tigger is not for you. The next kitty might be.. Tigger needs someone who truly “gets” shy kitties. When he was adopted a couple years ago, we hoped that would be his permanent home. It didn’t work out. So Tigger is back at Safe Haven. It’s not Tigger’s fault. Tigger was very shy to begin with, so just being adopted was scary for him. He hid a lot. He just didn’t feel safe or comfortable enough. He needed someone to work with him to build trust. To help a shy kitty break out of their shell, schedule time to do the same fun thing with your shy kitty at least two times a day. three times is even better. Cats like routine because they hate change. So schedule an interactive play time with a toy he chooses. Maybe a wand toy that the kitty really reacts to. When you play with a wand, be sure to let the kitty “win” sometimes by catch-

ing the toy. Don’t keep making him “miss”. He must learn achievement. After about 10 minutes of play, finish off each scheduled play time with a reward - some yummy cat treats. You’re now building a positive bond that will grow into a trusting and fun relationship. Once this has started, you’re halfway there. Let the kitty take his time to trust. Don’t become impatient, and always reward him with treats and kind words. Tigger is a kitty who needs lots of positive reinforcement. He will simply hide if you don’t work to draw him out. His shy nature was further challenged when his home later added dogs. He simply hid after that. That’s not a happy life. The person Tigger needs

is kind, interested in cats, and wants to spend time with Tigger, to show him life can be so much fun! We’re looking for a home for Tigger with no dogs, and only older children who will be patient and respect his needs. Tigger will likely be fine with another kitty, as long as she’s friendly and laid back. We’ve seen how easily other cats can bully Tigger. If you’re the special person Tigger needs, please consider adopting this beautiful, healthy, sweet, four year old. He has the potential of being fully happy and confident in the right home. FMI call Leonore at 207-9853227. Safe Haven’s wonderful team of volunteers is growing. We love it when volunteers find a niche with us, using their talents and skills to support our no-kill rescue mission.

~ Ask The Computer Lady ~ Dear Computer Lady, I am using windows 10 and I am happy with it. Can I use the program bcdedit at the command line to delete an incorrect or duplicate entry on the boot menu? On my desktop I have an icon for the command prompt. Rightclick offers me the option to open with administrative privileges. Keep up the good work! Terry Dear Terry, I would not suggest that you use bcdedit to change anything in Windows 10! First, if Windows 10 is booting normally, why make any changes that might result in it not working? Second, if you make the wrong change there, you run the risk of Windows 10 no longer working. If you want to stop a program from automatically loading, use the task manager. You can access the Task Manager using the keyboard combination, Ctrl + Alt + Del then click on “Task Manager” in the menu that appears. In the Task manager, click “More Details” in the

lower-left corner, then click the “Startup” tab. From there you can disable any unwanted startup items. Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, I was reading about transferring pictures on an IPhone to the ICloud and then to a desktop. Can ICloud be trusted and is it safe? I ask this because my wife has pictures on her apple tablet which I would like to transfer to my computer for safe keeping and I was hoping not to use ICloud. Thanks for all you do! Mike Dear Mike, You can certainly transfer your photos without using iCloud, you can either email them from the tablet to the home computer, or you can connect your tablet to the computer using the USB charging cable and transfer using iTunes. To answer your question about iCloud, I did a little bit of research and found that it is as safe as most other cloud storage systems. iCloud secures your data by encrypting it when it’s sent over the internet. That means

that it can’t be intercepted as it is travelling to and from their servers. Once the files are on the iCloud server, they are also stored in an encrypted format. iCloud uses a minimum of 128-bit AES encryption (the same level of security employed by major financial institutions) and they never provide encryption keys to any third parties. This means that the security of your data stored on iCloud is up to you. Do you have a strong password, and do you use two-factor authentication. A strong password must be a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters along with some numbers and symbols. It should never be just one word that can be found in a dictionary because hackers have programs that can try every word in the dictionary on your account until it finds one that works. Two-factor authentication will ensure that someone else can’t access your account even if they know your password. When you sign into your apple account on a new device, you will also

have to enter a six digit number that is sent to your phone (or other device you set up). So, if you have a strong password and two-factor authentication in place, you can be confident that your photos are safe and secure. Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, Re: Ron that was getting pop-ups on his new computer, years ago I downloaded a little program that Kim recommended called “Unchecky” When you download a program it often comes with a little box somewhere obscure in the agreement or the download itself pre-

checked to download something additional or change a default. Since Unchecky, I’ve never had another problem. I love your weekly column, I have a gmail file that I save ones that have something i might need down the line. Thanks, Cherryl Dear Cherryl, I have heard of unchecky, but not used it. I did a little bit of searching and found the program at: https://unchecky.com/. It looks like it might be a great program to install on your computer. I would love to know what experiences others have had with it. Elizabeth

Sen. Carney Bill to Help New Mothers Access Health Care Becomes Law AUGUSTA On Thursday, June 15, a bill from Sen. Anne Carney, D-Cape Elizabeth, to help more Maine mothers access postpartum health care became law. LD 265, “An Act To Provide Women Access to Affordable Postpartum Care,” became law without the governor’s signature. “By expanding families’ access to postpartum care, we can make sure they have the support they need when they often need it the most. Both mother and child face unique medical challenges during the first year after birth. Making sure there’s continued affordable access to health care means better outcomes for Maine families,” said Sen. Carney. As amended, LD 265 would extend the period of time after giving birth that a mother may be eligible for services under MaineCare from 60 days to 12 months. This legislation allows Maine families to benefit from federal funds included in the re-

cently enacted American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, providing a full year of postpartum care for those receiving MaineCare benefits during pregnancy. Additionally, the bill would require the

This change allows working grandparents to take a limited amount of time to provide care to their grandchild without the fear of losing their position.” said Rep. Stearns.

Health & Fitness Bill to Help Schools Purchase Food From Local Farms and Producers AUGUSTA On July 8, Gov. Janet Mills signed into law a bill from Sen. Eloise Vitelli, D-Arrowsic. LD 636, “An Act To Encourage the Purchase of Local Foods for Public Schools,” will help public schools purchase more fresh, healthy food from local farms and producers. “Making sure children have access to healthy food is vital to their growth, ability to focus in school and overall wellness. Helping schools connect with local growers and food producers means they can ensure the meals they serve are nutritious and fresh,” said Sen. Vitelli. “The changes made in this new bill will help schools connect more easily with local farms, which is a win for school districts and students, as well as local farmers and growers, who will gain a new avenue for selling their products.” LD 636 would address barriers within the existing Local Produce Fund by expanding the program to allow schools to purchase more local foods via other sources, instead of only directly from farms. It would increase the cap on reimbursement from the Department of Education to encourage more local purchasing using existing funds. It would also expand the program beyond produce to support the purchase of other local foods including meat, fish, tofu, eggs, and value-added dairy products like yogurt. “School districts face many challenges in sourcing local food directly from farmers,

and reported that they would be more likely to purchase locally if they could also do so from their contracted food service distributor,” said Anna Korsen with Full Plates Full Potential in testimony supporting the bill. “School nutrition programs also reported that expanding the products that can be purchased and reimbursed through the fund beyond only produce to include value-added dairy and protein would make it more likely that they would use the fund, since many schools already purchase these products at great cost to their program and would benefit from the reimbursement. Additionally, having access to local produce that has been peeled, chopped, and frozen would help expand school nutrition staff’s capacity to serve local foods. This bill is a step in the right direction.” ,

...HEALTH from page 18 “The postpartum period is a medically vulnerable period for many women,” said Rita Furlow, Senior Policy Analyst at the Maine Children’s Alliance, in testimony supporting LD 265. “A 2020 report from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that one-quarter of all pregnancy related deaths of women occurred between 43 days and one year following child birth. These deaths are highly preventable if women are receiving regular access to care. Providing high-quality care for mothers up to one year after birth can identify potential issues and ensure women are aware of the warning signs so they can connect to prompt follow-up care.”

Mills Signs Bill to Expand Access to Child Care

AUGUSTA Governor Janet Mills signed into law LD 1712, a bill that will expand access to quality, affordable child care in Maine. The new law seeks to replicate a successful program in Somerset County modeled after the successful Early Head Start-Child Care Partnership. Under the law, Maine could create up to five additional programs across the state, which would be sponsored by coalitions of stakeholders, providers and other community members within the communities that the projects serve. “The lack of high-quality, affordable child care in Maine is a major barrier to the success of our children and our economy. It prevents people from starting new businesses, taking new jobs and moving to rural communities. It also deprives kids of important developmental opportunities,” said Governor Janet Mills. “With this new law, and the important game-changing funds in the Maine Jobs & Recovery Plan, we can break down that barrier and give working families what they need to provide healthy, safe child care for their kids that allows them to go to work, bring home a paycheck, and strengthen our economy.”

The law builds on the Mills Administration’s ongoing work to expand affordable child care options in Maine. Through the Maine Jobs & Recovery Plan, Governor Mills has proposed investing $20 million to help Maine communities renovate, expand, or build new child care facilities and expand early childhood education programs. The Administration has also put forward a historic Child Care Plan for Maine that utilizes approximately $120 million in dedicated child care American Rescue Plan funds, on top of $50 million in previous COVID-19 pandemic assistance, to help Maine’s child care system recover and improve child care quality, accessibility, and affordability over the long-term. In the coming days, the Mills Administration will work with Legislative leaders to ensure sufficient funding for the successful implementation of LD 1712, the child care portion

of the Maine Jobs and Recovery Act, and the Child Care Plan for Maine. Maine is expected to receive an additional nearly $120 million in Federal funds through the American Rescue Plan for child care, as part of what the White House describes as the single biggest national investment in child care since World War II. This investment, combined with another estimated $8.4 million Maine expects to receive through an increase in Federal block grant funding, totals nearly $130 million that Maine will use to support one of the goals of the Children’s Cabinet: increasing access to highquality child care and expanding Maine’s child care workforce. These investments build on the Mills Administration’s efforts to support Maine families’ access to child care before and during the pandemic, including helping low-income parents who receive subsidies by waiving their contribution to child care fees, distributing $10 million in federal CARES Act funding directly to providers through stipends and grants, and making available $8.4 million in Coronavirus Relief Funds to reimburse providers for COVID-19-related business costs.

The Elise Kittredge Award is presented to an individual in the community who, through the exceptional contribution of time, talent, and/or financial resources, has helped improve the quality of life for neighbors in a vital and enduring way. During her 30 years of service with UWYC and the York community, Barb Wentworth set the standard for visionary leadership and the role that volunteerism can play in making communities better places to learn, work and live, by collaborating with nonprofits, municipal leaders,

integrity, demonstrate Gospel values through service to others, and display Christian leadership. Locally, Colby White of Wells was included in the list of winners. Colby volunteered for the free, monthly Matthew 25:35 meals in Sanford that are served by teens, has been involved in a number of

FINANCE & CAREER Sen. Bailey Proposal to Help Seniors Stay in Their Homes Becomes Law AUGUSTA – On Monday, July 19, the Legislature passed and Gov. Janet Mills signed into law a bill that makes a once-in-a-lifetime investment in Maine children, workers, families, businesses and communities. L.D. 1733, “An Act To Provide Allocations for the Distribution of State Fiscal Recovery Funds,” uses unallocated federal funds directed to Maine through the American Rescue Plan and includes a proposal from Sen. Bailey that will provide seniors with property tax relief and help them to stay in their homes. “I hear too many stories of seniors who simply cannot afford food, medicine and property taxes, which means they end up having to choose one over the other and then go without necessities,” said Sen. Bailey. “Seniors worked hard for their entire lives to pay off their mortgages and earn a quiet retirement inside their homes. But the reality is, they are struggling to pay ever-in-

creasing property taxes. Property tax relief for seniors was one of my earliest top priorities since I first became a legislator, and I’m so proud to finally see this become a reality.” L.D. 1638, “An Act To Help Seniors and Certain Persons with Disabilities Remain in Their Homes by Providing for the Deferral of Property Taxes,” was sponsored by Sen. Bailey and was based upon her previous efforts in the 128th and 129th Legislatures. It would reinstate the state’s property tax deferral program, which was in place from 1989 through 1991, allowing the state to pay the property taxes for those who qualify, and obtain a lien on the real estate for reimbursement after the property owner or owners passes away, from their estate. The property taxes paid by the state are repaid when the property is sold or the participant (or spouse) passes away. Since 2020, property taxes have been rising sharply as a result of a pandemic-fueled home-buying spree. These

Maine Home Sales and Prices Up AUGUSTA Demand continues to drive up the values of Maine’s single-family existing homes. Maine Listings reported a statewide median sales price (MSP) of $310,000 in June—a 24.5% increase over June 2020. The MSP indicates that half of the homes were sold for more and half sold for less. Sales have also increased 14.71% in June compared to June a year ago. “June’s high sales volume indicates that pent up buyer demand is strong in Maine, whether that demand is fueled by choice or by circumstance,” said Aaron Bolster, Broker/ Owner of Allied Realty in Skowhegan and 2021 President of the Maine Association of REALTORS®. “REALTORS® from across Maine report that homes continue to go under contract rapidly after receiving multiple offers. Statewide, the Days on Market for June 2021 was six days, compared to 14 days a year ago, and 13 days in 2019, pre-COVID,” he added. According to the National Association of Realtors, sales across the country rose 19.3% and prices increased 24.4%to reach a national MSP of $370,600 in June 2021 compared to June 2020. Regionally,

June 2021 sales in the Northeast jumped 45.1% and the regional MSP hit $412,800—up 23.6% compared to June 2020. Positive signs do exist for buyers. “Statewide, beginning in June of 2020, single-family forsale inventory declined monthly for nine consecutive months through March of 2021, where it reached its low point. For the third straight month, we’ve seen improving for-sale supply metrics. Active single-family listings were up 18.5% during June 2021 compared to May 2021, and up 55% from the March 2021 low,” said Bolster. “An increase in for-sale inventory should bring a better balance to Maine’s real estate market over time.”

higher property taxes hit seniors especially hard because they often live on the fixed incomes of retirement savings and Social Security, which are not going to rise at the same rate as escalating home valuations. Additionally, 29 percent of Maine seniors live in families with low income, and the 56.4 percent of Maine seniors who receive Social Security payments get on average just $11,964 annually. “Seniors are facing numerous challenges as it is, especially burdensome property

taxes. Many seniors have lived in their homes for decades while contributing to the growth and prosperity of their community,” said Sen. Rafferty, DKennebunk, who cosponsored

the bill. “This property tax relief for seniors is designed to ensure they can continue to live without the worry of being displaced.” LD 1733 allocates $3.2 million in Federal American Rescue Plan funds to establish the Senior Tax Deferral Revolving Account, and fund a limited period position to oversee it, through fiscal year 2023. After fiscal year 2023, default funding will come from the HOME Fund, through the Maine State Housing Authority.

No Tuition Increase for Maine’s Community College Students This Fall AUGUSTA Maine’s community colleges are more affordable than ever this year, with no increase in tuition and fees and a significant increase in Maine State Grant aid available for qualifying students. The Maine Community College System (MCCS) has long had the lowest tuition and fees of any college in New England. Tuition for the 2021-22 academic year remains at $96 a credit hour for Maine residents, so the standard 3-credit hour course is $288. A full-time student taking 15 credits each semester would pay annual tuition of $2,880. Thanks to a $10 million increase in funding from the legislature this session, the Maine State Grant award has increased from $1,500 to $2,500 for fulltime students and from $750 to $1,250 for half- or three-quarter time students. The Finance Authority of Maine (FAME,) which administers the Maine State Grant, has also extended the deadline for people to apply for the grant for the 2021-22 academic year. “There’s never been a better time to pursue an education at one of Maine’s community col-

leges,” said MCCS President David Daigler. “Coming off a very hard year, when a lot of students put off going to college, this is exactly the kind of financial support and incentive needed to encourage students to pursue a college education.” In addition to keeping tuition and fees flat, the community colleges have new and expanded student support programs that include tutoring, tech support, tech equipment loans, counseling and job search assistance. “Once you’re enrolled, there are many resources to help you succeed, but we know many students won’t apply because they think they can’t afford it,” Daigler said. “Maine’s community colleges are very affordable. A student working a minimum wage job just 25 hours a week over the summer can earn enough in those 10 weeks to cover their tuition and fees for the entire year.” In fact, most MCCS students pay far less than full tuition

and fees, without incurring any student loan debt. About 75 percent of full-time students at Maine’s community college receive some form of grant aid, and 50 percent of students get enough grant aid that they pay nothing for tuition and fees. In addition to the Maine State Grant, many students qualify for a federal Pell Grant, which can not only completely cover the cost of tuition and fees, there is often enough grant aid left over to pay for books and other expenses. The average Pell Grant award for undergraduate students at a two-year college is more than $4,000. Residents of other nearby New England states may be eligible for reduced out-of-state tuition, which is 150 percent of in-state tuition. Full-time, out-of-state students who do not qualify for the regional discount would pay approximately $5,760 per year, at $192 per credit hour.

Herbert Oscar Goodwin, 92 YORK-Herbert Oscar Goodwin, son of George and Ruby Goodwin, went to be with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on July 21, 2021. Herb, our dad, was born in Berlin, NH, on March 12, 1929. He graduated from South Portland, ME, in 1947. After graduating, he joined the Army Air Corp. where he met his lifelong friend, Jim Taylor. It was

Bernier-Gelinas FUNERAL HOME

Kittery, ME We are often asked by the families we serve, here at JS Pelkey & Son and Bernier Funeral Homes, why certain expressions and traditions exist in the funeral service industry. One of the most often asked questions is “Why send flowers to a memorial service or funeral, aren’t they just a waste of money?” Well nothing could be further from the truth. As my friend Todd Van Beck recently wrote in an article: Flowers are sent to funerals for several reasons. Flowers are a means of expression. It is often difficult for those mourning a death to put feelings into words. Flowers are a visual expression of love, sympathy, and respect. They are a way of lending support and sharing the burden of grief. In addition to sending flowers to the funeral, there is a growing trend to send flowers to the home of the bereaved after the service. Some people also send flowers to the church in memory of the deceased. Flowers create a background of warmth and beauty which adds to the dignity and consolation of the service. Those who have attended services where there were no flowers have noted that something was

bereaved’s feelings in the patterns of community support which are psychologically beneficial. Flowers, however, express the inexpressible – they are symbolic.

missing – that the funeral was depressing. The funeral meets the bereaved’s need for support. Death throws people into despair and depression by separating them from one who has provided love, companionship, and security. The funeral and customs provide the means by which those close to them can give their support and share their suffering. The funeral period provides for the expression of sorrow. Only through talking about the past can the bereaved person realize the extent of the relationship with the deceased, and accept the loss and suffering. Only through weeping and talking to good listeners can they release their grief and feelings of guilt and hostility. Experts in grief therapy believe that it can be expressed best through rites, rituals, and ceremonies. The ceremony deals primarily with intellectual concepts and doesn’t fully engage the

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

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

during a visit to Jim’s family in Kittery, where he met Jim’s sister and the love of his life, Virginia (Taylor). Herb sent a thank-you note to “Ginny’s” mother and Ginny returned a letter to him. From there, Herb and Ginny sent many letters back and forth throughout his time in the service. Herb spent two and a half years in Guam. After this, he spent the last of his enlistment in Washington, DC; and upon returning, Herb and Ginny were engaged for six months before getting married in a double ceremony at the First Baptist Church in Kittery Point, on November 18, 1950. They spent three years in Boston, eating chocolates, reading to each other and enjoying their newly married life, as Herb Attended Coyne Electrical School in Boston. From there, he joined Bell Atlantic as an Equipment Installer, eventually working his way up to ESS Foreman, handling many offices. After his retirement, he took a part-time job working at Coat World, where his co-workers lovingly named him “Mr. World”. Herb and Ginny were blessed with nearly 71 years together, doing everything as a devoted couple, side by side, raising their family, attending church, skiing, camping and simply sharing a lifetime of love, laughter, family and friends. Herb had many passions in life. He was a talented artist and

loved skiing, camping, woodworking, golf, target practicing, reading, doing crossword puzzles with his grandchildren, and watching the Patriots win again and again. Herb is survived by his loving, devoted wife and their four children and families: Dave And Pauline Goodwin, Bruce and Donna Goodwin, John and Lisa Gilmer and Paul and Jeannie Hogan. Herb was so proud of his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, and loved spending time with them, laughing, joking, reminiscing and simply being in their presence. His precious grandchildren are Ben Goodwin, Tawni Hansen (husband Ryan), Kaylee Agostinelli (husband Kenny), Henrik Goodwin, Allison Grimaldi (husband Chris), Stephanie Goodwin, Danielle Ford (husband Brandon), Matt Goodwin, Ava Stevenson, Carsen Goodwin, Andrew Goodwin and Seth Goodwin. Great grandchildren are Claire, Caleb, Tucker, Isaac Hansen and Cayden Ford, who is arriving in October. Herb touched many lives throughout his lifetime and he will be forever loved and missed by all who were blessed to know him, especially his brother-inlaw Don Taylor, special friend See GOODWIN page 30...

For the first time in more than a decade, November 15-19 will be celebrated as Maine Recycles Week. During this week, residents of Maine are asked to do their part to raise public awareness toward waste reduction and recycling and promote the purchase of products made from recycled materials. Participating organizations will provide tools to help residents engage with Maine Recycles Week. “We know that the people of Maine really value their recycling programs,” said Matt Grondin, Communications Manager at ecomaine. “We’re proud to be a part of Maine Recycles Week to highlight the important role recycling plays in our environment and our economy. ecomaine’s commitment to educational outreach about

William S. Brackett, Jr., 81 WELLS - William S. Brackett, Jr., longtime resident of Wells passed away peacefully on July 21, 2021, surrounded by his family at York Hospital after a brief illness. Born on July 3, 1940, in Lewiston, ME, Bill was the eldest son of William S. and Mary R. (Danahy) Brackett, Sr. He served four years in the United States Air Force as an aircraft mechanic, stationed at Hickam Air Force base in O’ahu, HI, where he was a part of the 1502nd flight line maintenance squadron and took pride in working on C-124’s. Bill was a hardworking, dedicated man his whole life and spent 34 years in the aggre-

gate industry. He started out as a truck driver with P.R. Boston in 1966 and worked his way up to plant and crusher superintendent with Pike Industries, retiring in 2000. Like his father, Bill was a natural-born problem solver and, his ingenuity was second to none. Bill appreciated wildlife conservation and was an active member of the National Audubon Society. He also enjoyed restoring several makes and models of antique cars and listening to bluegrass music. Bill was a generous man who lived a simple life and could often be found helping out a friend in need. Bill will be deeply missed by his family. He is survived by his son Joshua Brackett (Cindy) of Wells, daughters Jennifer Brown (Kenney) of York and Jessica Hobbs (Tom) of Litchfield, NH. His five grandchildren Sandra and Joseph Brackett, Molly Brown and Nate and Kaley Hobbs. Also survived by siblings Rosalie Cunningham, Steve Brackett, Christine Carbon, Gerald (Jack) Brackett, Brian Brackett and many cousins, nieces, and nephews. Bill was predeceased by his parents, siblings Donna Johnson, J. Donald Brackett, Philip Brackett, Michael Brackett and his first wife Sandra J. (Carson) Brackett. At Bill’s request there will

be no formal services. Family and friends are welcome to attend a celebration of life at Bill’s home on Saturday July 31, 2021, from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Arrangements are entrusted to the Johnson Funeral Home, North Berwick, ME.
