York County Forum Airs Transportation Highlights, Challenges YORK COUNTY For older adults or those with disabilities, getting to a medical appointment, the market, the library, community center, or elsewhere happens in a couple of ways. Those who are able and have an available vehicle drive there. For those who don’t have access to a vehicle, can’t drive, or can no longer drive, transportation can be a bit more challenging. Sometimes family can help, but in some instances, there is no family nearby to pitch in. Fortunately, several York County communities offer a lifeline of volunteer transportation programs alongside established

Following the adoption of the Declaration by the Second Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, printed copies were distributed to area communities. The Massachusetts Council ordered that the Declaration be read aloud and delivered to town clerks, who were instructed to record it in their official record books “there to remain as a perpetual Memorial thereof.” The Wells Town Record Book contains both the Declaration and the original instructions, providing a local connection to one of the most significant moments in American history. The record has been preserved in the Town Clerk’s archives for 250 years, making it a significant piece of Wells’ history.

coastal locales, while the Biddeford Saco Old Orchard Beach Transit (BSOOB) line connects Biddeford, Saco, and Old Orchard Beach. On a recent evening, more

than two dozen transportation providers, municipal leaders, and advocates gathered at the York County Government building in Alfred. The goal was to exchange information, explore ways to broaden services, and discuss how legislative policy and funding can better connect residents from their doorsteps to their destinations. The inaugural York County Transportation and Mobility Forum was organized by York County Commissioner Justin Chenette, with help from various stakeholders, including YCCAC, BSOOB, representatives from area age-friendly initiatives, and others devoted to transportation

issues. “My goal with this forum is to make it an annual check-in on the important progress made in each of our communities and to discuss specific action steps we can work on year-round to advance public transit,” said Chenette. “We find so much good work happening, but sometimes we don’t know what [others] are working on. Getting everyone in this room gives us that. We can now have a foundation for shared progress going forward.” According to data from the University of Maine Center on Aging’s Lifelong Maine initiaSee TRANSPORT on page 2...

Back-To-School Safety Tips STATEWIDE With the 2026-27 school year fast approaching, the American Red Cross offers tips to help kids have a safe start to the school year. The organization also offers apps and classes that provide additional safety information for teachers and students, along with reminders for drivers to slow down and follow school bus safety rules. “Back-to-school season is exciting, but it’s also a time when families can set the tone for a safe year ahead,” said Stephanie Couturier of the American Red Cross

of Northern New England. “A few simple conversations about how children get to and from school can make a big difference. When kids know what to expect and how to respond, they start the year feeling confident and ready.” For younger children, walking the route to school before the first day can help them become familiar with safe places to cross streets and where to wait for the bus. Students who ride bicycles should wear a properly fitted See SAFETY on page 11...

Beach Bonfire Benefit Set for Sept. 5

YORK The annual Beach Bonfire Benefit will return to Long Sands Beach Saturday, Sept. 5, from 6 to 9 p.m., weather and tides permitting. The community event began in 2001 as a fundraiser following the Sept. 11 attacks and has since become an annual event supporting local charities, including the YCSA Food Pantry. Organizers say the benefit has raised more

than $100,000 over the years. The evening will feature a bonfire, live entertainment, food, and raffles. The bonfire will be held along Long Sands Beach. Visitors can also explore York’s attractions before the event, including Old York Village, Mount Agamenticus, and the Nubble Lighthouse. Old York Village features preserved colonial buildings, museums, and historic homes.

Mount Agamenticus offers hiking trails and views of the Atlantic Ocean and, on clear days, the White Mountains. Long Sands Beach and the surrounding coastline also offer opportunities for walking and sightseeing before the evening’s activities.

gram’s founder retired. Together, the agencies deploy 110 volunteer drivers, support 958 registered riders, and provide 6,062 rides annually. The demand is growing rapidly. Age-Friendly Saco, established in 2015, launched a transportation program in 2022, providing 300 rides that year, according to director Jean Saunders. In 2025, the agency provided 1,400 rides. Age Friendly Saco utilizes two transportation programs: rides for medical appointments and a door-to-door van shuttle service three days a week. The program provides transportation for shopping, trips to the library and community center, rides to the polls on Election Day, and more. “Most of our volunteers

are retirees. They get a sense of purpose driving folks to their appointments,” said Saunders. Advocates say sustaining the momentum has its challenges. A poll by Lifelong Maine showed the biggest obstacle cited by the York County programs is the need for more volunteer drivers. “We really need drivers,” said Judy Unsworth of Age Friendly Biddeford. Other challenges include public awareness of the programs, coordinator burnout, a lack of money to reimburse drivers, and funding in general. None of the programs reimburse volunteers for mileage—something advocates say they would rectify if funding were available. “Reimbursement should be standard,” said Lifelong Maine

Reinauer noted the Amtrak Downeaster stops at stations in Wells, Saco, and seasonally in Old Orchard Beach, and that Greyhound stops at the Wells Transportation Center. Even with robust routes, labor shortages persist. BSOOB Executive Director John Savage noted that recruiting and retaining commercially licensed drivers remains an ongoing chal-

With strong turnout and clear community needs, organizers confirmed the York County Transportation and Mobility Forum will become an annual event, said Chenette. “Going forward, we will continue engaging stakeholders on next steps, including sharing resources, funding opportunities, and ways to advocate for broader policy changes to enhance our local volunteer driver programs,” Chenette said. “York County Government can be the glue to bring everyone together, and I fully expect our leadership with this forum will continue next year and beyond.

Good Shepherd Food Bank Invests in Maine’s Food Security Network STATEWIDE Good Shepherd Food Bank is investing in Maine’s hungerrelief network, providing additional support to help community partners meet growing demand for food assistance and address reductions in federal food resources. Good Shepherd is providing more than $570,000 in unrestricted grants to food security organizations across the state, including food pantries, meal sites, shelters, and school and hospital pantries. Eligible partners received a grant in July to address local needs, including purchasing food and supporting distribution efforts. “This investment aligns with our commitment to achieving food security for everyone in Maine and reflects our commitment to stand alongside the organizations on the front lines of hunger relief in Maine,” said Good Shepherd Food Bank President Heather Paquette. “Maine’s food pantries and other hunger-relief partners are facing increased demand while also adapting to significant reductions in resources. By providing flexible funding and additional food support, we can strengthen the network’s ability to respond today while building resilience for the future.” The grants are part of a broader effort to support food assistance in Maine amid declining federal support. Good Shepherd Food Bank has purchased additional fresh produce and other products from Maine farms and provided funding for food purchases throughout its network of hunger-relief programs. The food bank invested $5.3 million

directly in food and funding for Maine communities during fiscal year 2026, which ended June 30. The investments come during a period of significant strain on Maine’s charitable food network. The Good Shepherd has seen a decline of more than 35% from the previous year in critical USDA food programs. The Emergency Food Assistance Program has accounted for about 20% of the overall annual distribution in recent years. Its funding has declined since March 2025. funding for the Commodity Supplemental Food Program, which provides shelf-stable food boxes for seniors, has declined by 10% this year, while the Local Food Purchasing Agreement, which prioritized sourcing food from Maine farms for local food pantries, has ended entirely. At the same time, demand for food assistance continues to rise. A sample of Maine food pantries reported a 10% increase in visits earlier this year, while more than 5,000 Mainers have lost SNAP benefits since January 2026. Good Shepherd remains focused on ensuring Maine communities have access to nutritious food while strengthening the network of nearly 600 food pantries and other organizations that make that work possible. “The past year has highlighted just how essential a strong and resilient food security network is for Maine,” said Paquette. “As federal resources continue to decline and more families face economic uncertainty, we are committed to investing in long-term solutions and supportSee FOOD on page 20...

Vouchers for Veterans Returns to Kittery Community Market KITTERY K it ter y Communit y Market welcomes the Vouchers for Veterans program back to the market Sundays in September. The program provides veterans and active-duty service members with vouchers to use toward fresh, locally produced food from participating vendors. The market is open Sundays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Post Office Square, 10 Shapleigh Road, Kittery. Eligible veterans and active-duty service members who live in Maine or New Hampshire can visit the Vouchers for Veterans tent to receive $20 in vouchers to use with participating market food vendors. The vouchers can be used to purchase locally grown produce, meat, baked goods, prepared foods, and other eligible items. “We are incredibly grateful to Vouchers for Veterans for bringing this program to our market year after year,” said Dot Avery, market manager at Kittery Community Market. “It gives our community the opportunity to express its appreciation in a way that is welcoming, useful, and deeply connected to what the market is all about: taking care of one another, sharing good local food, and supporting the people who grow and produce it.” The program also creates an economic boost for local farmers and food producers, who receive the full value of every voucher redeemed. Throughout September, the market will feature more than 35

local farmers, food producers, makers, and small businesses each week. Visitors can shop for peak-season produce, locally raised meats, seafood, baked goods, prepared foods, flowers, handcrafted products, and more. A live music lineup will add to the festivities, featuring Cory Malm, Taylor Hughes, Tyler Levs, and Lee Biddle throughout the month. Kids can participate in weekly activities as well as the market’s Kids Power of Produce program. Through the program, children receive $3 each Sunday to spend on fresh fruits and vegetables, allowing them to make their own choices, meet local growers, and discover new foods. “September is always an especially meaningful month at the market,” Avery said. “We hope veterans, active-duty service members, their families, and the wider community will join us.” Vouchers for Veterans is a

Pet Vaccination Basics: What Owners Should Know

NATIONWIDE Regular veterinary care is an important part of keeping pets healthy, and vaccinations play a key role in protecting cats and dogs from serious and potentially life-threatening diseases. While vaccination schedules vary depending on a pet’s age, health, lifestyle and risk factors, veterinarians generally divide vaccines into two categories: core vaccines, which

protect against common and serious diseases, and non-core vaccines, which are recommended based on factors such as location, exposure risks and outdoor activities. Cats For cats, the core vaccine is commonly known as FVRCP, which protects against feline viral rhinotracheitis, calicivirus and panleukopenia. Kittens typically begin receiving this vac-

June 16. How sweet it was to witness Caboodle, a total momma’s boy, try to “protect” his mother. He knew she was afraid and used his orange-striped body to try to hide her from the staff’s sight. He would sit on her head and back, and wrap his orange tail around her neck in an attempt to camouflage her. The pair has come a long way over the past few months, going from fearful to friendly. Both are sweet and have delightful personalities. Caboodle is silly, busy, active, friendly, and a treat thief. Staff members call him “Caboodle Clodhopper” because he’s delightfully spontaneous and joyful. He seems oblivi-

cine between 6 and 8 weeks of age, with additional doses given every three to four weeks until about 16 weeks of age. The feline leukemia virus (FeLV) vaccine may be recommended for kittens and cats with certain risk factors, including those that spend time outdoors or may be exposed to infected cats. Kittens often receive their initial FeLV vaccination series during their first year. The feline immunodefious to everything around him and simply goes with the flow, acting on impulse. Kit is a lovely tiger who is more graceful than her son and a bit more reserved. She enjoys being brushed, playing, and getting treats. Both love the spider toy, which never fails to entertain them. To see this mother and son so happy living at the Scaredy Cat School is so rewarding for the staff. It’s a reminder of why they do what they do. Kit and Caboodle must be adopted together. Their ideal home would be one with a loving family, possibly with older children who understand that both cats are still working on trust issues. At the moment, neither likes to be held, but in time they will bond with their new family and will become more comfortable. Kit and Caboodle are a joyful celebration of success. They have responded well to the staff’s gentle, patient socializing, and the staff has loved having them around. Safe Haven’s thrift shop, 1784 Post Road, Wells, is open daily from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., with donations accepted Saturdays from noon to 3 p.m. The shop is now accepting fall and winter clothing, decorative and functional items, small furnishings, jewelry, linens, books, Halloween and autumn décor, nonbattery-operated toys, kitchenware, antiques, art, pottery, and anything vintage. Visitors to the shelter, 1420 Post Road, can drop off redeemable bottles and cans at the bottle shed.

ciency virus (FIV) vaccine is no longer available in North America and is not considered a routine core vaccination. Dogs Dogs commonly receive a combination vaccine known as DA2PP, DHPP or DAPP, which protects against diseases including canine distemper and adenovirus. Puppies typically begin this vaccination series between 6 and 8 weeks of age, with additional boosters given during puppyhood. Rabies vaccination is required by law in many areas. Dogs generally receive their first rabies vaccine at about 12 to 16 weeks of age, followed by boosters according to veterinary recommendations and local regulations.

Emma’s Angels

Other vaccines may be recommended based on a dog’s lifestyle. The leptospirosis vaccine may be suggested for dogs exposed to wildlife, contaminated water, or areas where the bacteria is present. Dogs that frequently interact with other dogs at places such as boarding facilities, day care centers, or grooming facilities may benefit from protection against bordetella, commonly known as kennel cough. In areas where Lyme disease is common, veterinarians may recommend the Lyme vaccine. A canine inf luenza vaccine may also be appropriate for dogs that regularly spend time around other dogs. Pet owners should work See VACCINE on page 24...

Students who listen to music should keep one earbud out so they can hear traffic, school buses, and other sounds around them. The start of the school year means more activity around school zones, crosswalks, and bus stops as students return to the classroom. Drivers should slow down, stay alert, and watch for children walking, biking, and getting on and off buses during school hours. The Red Cross recommends students stand at least 10 feet from the curb while waiting for a bus. They should cross at intersections or marked crosswalks and obey traffic signals. Students should stay where the bus driver can see them and tell the driver if something falls near the bus rather than trying to pick it up themselves. They should wear a properly fitted bicycle helmet when riding and keep one earbud out when walking while listening to music. Drivers should slow down and stay alert in school zones and neighborhoods where children may be walking or biking. They should never pass a school bus displaying flashing red lights and an extended stop arm. They should put away their phones and

avoid other distractions while driving, especially near schools. Drivers should also allow extra travel time during the first weeks of school, when traffic is often heavier. Parents and caregivers should become familiar with their child’s school emergency procedures before classes begin and make sure the school has current emergency contact information, including the names of anyone authorized to pick up their child. Families should also create a household emergency plan so everyone knows who to contact, where to meet and how to communicate if an emergency occurs during the school day. Students, teachers, and caregivers can also access Red Cross safety resources through free apps and courses. The Red Cross First Aid and Emergency apps provide first aid tips and severe weather alerts, while babysitting and child care courses teach people age 11 and older and those working in child care how to respond to emergencies. The American Red Cross shelters, feeds and provides comfort to disaster victims; supplies about 40% of the nation’s blood; teaches skills that save lives; distributes international humanitarian aid; and supports veterans, military members, and their families.

Marginal Way Preservation Fund Celebrates Fundraising Success

OGUNQUIT Earlier this summer, the Marginal Way Preservation Fund welcomed members of the Ogunquit community, including town officials, Select Board members, donors, volunteers, and friends, to Brix + Brine for an afternoon of gratitude and celebration. The event was held to thank the community for its continued support and share the Fund’s commitment to preserving and protecting the historic pathway for generations to come. The gathering highlighted the significance of the site as both part of the Ogunquit community and a national landmark. The Marginal Way was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2022, recognizing its historic, cultural, and scenic importance. While the Fund’s mission is to help preserve, protect, and strengthen the Marginal Way through building an endowment, its work also includes community outreach, education, and partnerships with local businesses. Those efforts include the new Business Ambassador Program, which encourages visitors to support local businesses while learning about the Fund, and a children’s outreach program that teaches young people about the natural significance of the path.

“The Preservation Fund is guided by a commitment to preserve this treasured place and strengthen the connectivity people feel to the site,” said Fund Chair Charlie Hindmarsh. “We are here for the residents who cherish this place, the visitors who return year after year, the volunteers who give their time, the donors who invest in its future, and everyone who loves the Marginal Way.” This year also marks the Marginal Way Preservation Fund’s 15th year as a nonprofit organization. What began with a $100,000 gift from local business leaders has grown into an endowment exceeding $4.5 million, helping provide long-term support for the beloved path. “We are here to help preserve and protect not only the path itself, but also the places along it that carry such meaning for so many,” said Vice Chair Bill Sawyer. “We are here to support the Town and our community, and to help care for this coastal landmark while alleviating financial burden on taxpayers whenever we can.” Community support has also translated into direct preservation impact. The Fund recently covered the full cost of nearly $1 million in Phase I storm-re-

lated repairs along the Marginal Way, helping Ogunquit complete critical restoration work without using town funds. During remarks, Fund leadership reflected on the success of the Marginal Way’s Centennial year in 2025, marking 100 years since Josiah Chase gifted the land to the town. The Fund raised more than $1.5 million during that year alone, grew its endowment, and reached more than 3.5 million people through educational and storytelling initiatives on social media. “The Marginal Way is a place that has touched generations of residents and visitors alike. It belongs to everyone and serves as a place where people come together, connect, and create lasting memories. That shared appreciation and commitment to preserving this remarkable path are what make both the Marginal Way and the Ogunquit community so special,” said Select Board Chair Bob Whitelaw. Event organizers also recognized and thanked the volunteers of the Marginal Way Committee, who give their time throughout the year to help maintain the path. “Preservation is a partnership,” said Executive Director Allison Ramsey. “We are deeply grateful to everyone who plays a role in protecting and preserving this beloved path by the sea. The Marginal Way has endured for more than 100 years, and together, with the support of our community, we will ensure it remains strong and beautiful for generations to come.” The Marginal Way Preservation Fund is a nonprofit organization building a permanent endowment to support the preservation, maintenance, repair, beautification, and long-term resiliency of Ogunquit’s historic Marginal Way. Through community support and partnership with the Town of Ogunquit, the Fund helps preserve and maintain the path for public access. For more information, visit www.marginalwayfund.org.

The Friends of Fort McClary is a dedicated group of individuals who plan and coordinate special events at the Fort, but more importantly work to raise funds to make much needed repairs to this beautiful and historic site that dates to 1689. We need people of all skill levels who are good at creative social media platforms posting, administrative expertise, help with creating and implementing fundraising ideas, research, as well as assisting at some of the historic events held at the Fort. Did you know that Ft. McClary, as well as all other historic sites in Maine, have received no significant funding for repairs or upgrades from the State of Maine for over ten years? Its care depends on those who love the Fort and its view of the Piscataqua, take walks on its grounds, and hold a special memory from there, among others.

Are you one of them? Get involved now! We meet once a month at the Kittery Community Center and would enjoy hearing from interested volunteers.

and New Hampshire and ‘Reframed Stories’ at Speers Gallery Maine has received numerous awards for KENNEBUNK The Speers Gallery at Kennebunk Free Library presents “Reframed Stories: Objects Reimagined to Tell New Tales” by Kharris Brill. The exhibition runs Sept. 3-30, with an opening reception Saturday, Sept. 5, from 3 to 4:30 p.m. The public is invited. “[My work] brings together a series of assemblages built from found and reclaimed materials— mechanical parts, pages, wood, and fragments of everyday life. Each piece tells its own story, and

when the works are viewed together, new connections emerge. Materials once separated by purpose or time gain fresh significance when reassembled,” said Brill. Kharris Brill is the professional artist name of Kathryn Harris, who lives in Bath and operates Kharris B Creative Studio. She attended Maine College of Art but is largely self-taught, learning new tools and techniques as she develops her work. Brill has exhibited at galleries throughout

The victim is then transferred to someone claiming to be an FBI special agent investigating the alleged fraud. After the call disconnects, the victim may receive another call appearing to come from the FBI Boston Division’s main number. The caller provides a fake name and badge number and may instruct the victim to continue the conversation through an encrypted messaging application. Victims also may be told that the communications are confidential and should not be shared with anyone, according to the FBI. The calls are fraudulent, the FBI said. The agency will not call or email private citizens to demand payment, threaten arrest, request sensitive personal information, or ask them to communicate through an encrypted application.

Nationwide, 32,424 people reported being victims of government impersonation scams in 2025, with losses totaling more than $797 million, according to the FBI. “Scammers are utilizing fear, urgency, and increasingly sophisticated tactics—including spoof ing tr usted phone numbers—to push people into acting before they can think it through,” said Ted E.

The FBI advises people who receive an unexpected call from someone claiming to be an FBI agent or other law enforcement official to hang up and independently verify the caller by contacting the agency through a telephone number obtained from a trusted source. People who believe they have been targeted by the scam should cease contact with the caller, notify their financial institutions if necessary, and report the incident to their local law enforcement agency and the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center at www.ic3.gov. The FBI also advises victims to preserve financial records and telephone, text or email communications related to the scam.

Music Hall Names New President, CEO PORTSMOUTH, NH The Music Hall Board of Trustees has announced that Markus Gottschlich has been named the organization’s next president and chief executive officer, effective Sept 1. Gottschlich is an AustrianAmerican arts executive, arts advocate, and Steinway Artist with more than 15 years of experience leading strategic transformation for cultural institutions across the United States. He comes to The Music Hall with a combination of executive leadership, financial stewardship, creative vision, and the perspective of an internationally recognized performing artist. Gottschlich will lead one of the nation’s oldest performing arts institutions as it enters its next chapter of growth. His experience includes revitalizing nonprofit organizations across Florida, New Mexico, and Central Europe, with a focus on aligning institutional priorities with meaningful public engagement, intercultural exchange, and long-term sustainability. “Markus is the right leader for The Music Hall at this important moment in our history,” said Jude Blake, chair of The Music Hall Board of Trustees. “Throughout the search process, we were looking for someone who understood both the responsibility and the promise of this organization—its historic legacy, its role in the community, and its potential for the future. Markus brings a rare combination of artistic perspective, executive experience, financial discipline, and community-centered leadership.” Most recently, Gottschlich served as executive director of the Warehouse Arts District Association in St. Petersburg, FL, where he led the organization through funding reductions and back-to-back hurricanes. During his tenure, the organization expanded programming, strengthened community partnerships and maintained financial stability. The district was later recognized by USA TODAY as one of the nation’s top three arts districts. Gottschlich views philanthropy as an investment in vibrant communities. At The Music Hall, he said he plans to See MUSIC on page 24...

As both an executive and performing artist, I believe a cultural institution truly belongs to its people. I look forward to listening to, learning from, and collaborating with our brilliant staff, board, volunteers, and neighbors to foster innovation while keeping our work deeply rooted in the community.” The appointment follows a national search process led by Thinking Ahead Executive Search and The Music Hall’s President & CEO Search Committee made up of members of The Music Hall’s Board of Trustees, Portsmouth community leaders, and staff and volunteers.

Sleep Habits Play an Important Role in Overall Health STATEWIDE The average American adult gets about 6.8 hours of sleep each night, adding up to nearly 2,500 hours a year. De-

spite spending a significant portion of life asleep, many people do not prioritize sleep as much as other parts of their daily routines.

Sleep plays an important role in brain function and physical health. Quality sleep supports alertness, growth, recovery, mood, and nervous system regulation. Not getting enough sleep is associated with an increased risk of health concerns, including heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and stroke. Sleep deficiency can also affect metabolism, hormone regulation, and immune function. According to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, adults should get seven or more hours of sleep each night. However, more than one-third of adults in the United States

647 U.S. Route 1, Suite 201, York, ME 03909

and 32.7% of Maine adults report getting less than seven hours of sleep in a typical 24hour period. Sleep needs vary throughout life. Children and teenagers generally require more sleep than adults because sleep supports learning, development, and emotional well-being. For people of all ages, insufficient sleep can make it harder to process information, maintain focus, and manage daily activities. Creating healthy sleep habits can help support better rest. Sleep Awareness Week is an opportunity to evaluate routines and consider small changes that may improve sleep quality. Create a Consistent Nighttime Routine

Maintaining a regular sleep schedule is one of the most effective ways to support healthy sleep. Going to bed and waking up at consistent times each day, including weekends, can help reinforce the body’s natural rhythm. The sleep environment also matters. Blackout curtains, eye masks, earplugs, or a white-noise machine may help reduce disruptions and create a more comfortable space. Many people sleep best in a cooler room, with temperatures between 60 and 67 degrees Fahrenheit often recommended, although individual preferences vary. Reduci ng sc reen use before bedtime may also improve sleep. Light exposure from digital devices can interfere with the body’s natural sleep signals. Experts recommend limiting electronics before bed and keeping phones away from the bedside to reduce late-night distractions. Support Sleep Through Daily Habits Healthy sleep is inf luenced by daytime habits. A balanced diet, regular physical activity, and limiting caffeine later in the day can all support better rest. Alcohol close to bedtime may interfere with deeper stages of sleep. Managing stress is also important.

~ Classifieds & Sports & Outdoors ~ Seacoast Golf League Recap GREENLAND, NH Steve Grenier jumped into first place in the Bauneg Beg Division after grabbing 33 Stableford points at the Par 71 Breakfast Golf Club Wednesday, Aug. 19. Defending champ Dave DeBaie earned 26 points and slipped to second place. Walter Krug made the biggest move after earning 36 points and moved into fourth place. In the Agamenticus Division, the top three golfers—Peter Kuchinsky, Dan Soule, and Mike Martel—each earned 33 points and remained in the same positions. Only three events remain before the divisional regular season Golfer of the Year will be decided. Fourteen foursome teams competed in a flighted Aggregate Stableford Tournament. The McClary Flight was won by Jeff Goodman and Mike Martel, and Mark Radwan and Dale Ribaudo (124 pts.). Finish-

ing first in the Foster Flight were Jay Audet, Phil Brockelman, Tom LaPlante, and David Lynch (130 pts.). The top team in the Constitution Flight was Steve Aylward, Tim O’Leary, Joe Ryan, and Michael Thomas (125 pts.). In the Individual Stableford game, Audet (37 pts.) and Krug finished first in their divisions. Dan Soule shined in the event’s two Premium Games. He led all golfers with his three Canadian Skins (natural birdies on 2 and 5 and a net eagle on 18) and earned 20 of his 33 Stableford points on the nine most challenging holes to finish first in the Agamenticus Division. Steven Martin earned 18 points on the “Tough 9” holes and was tops in the Bauneg Beg Division. The final round of Dual Contests will commence when Seacoast Golf travels to Pease Golf Course for its next event Sept. 2. It will be Trade Winds vs. Rip Tides and Ocean Currents vs.

Town of Wells Announces Camper Trailer Excise Tax Changes WELLS As of July 29, the Town of Wells’ camper trailer excise tax is based on the length of the trailer rather than the manufacturer’s suggested retail price. According to guidance from Maine Revenue Services, a camper trailer should be measured along its length in towable condition, meaning it is configured as it would be when towed, with pop-outs retracted. The length should exclude the hitch and any equipment or accessories that extend beyond the camper’s box length, such as bicycle racks. The law provides for an updated schedule each year, adjusted by a cost-of-living adjustment based on the Chained Consumer Price Index. Maine Revenue Services will adjust each year’s schedule on or before Sept. 15, and it will apply to camper trailers with registration years beginning in the succeeding calendar year.

On July 29, software vendors were expected to provide municipalities with updates to their registration software to accommodate the change in camper trailer excise tax calculations. However, vendors are still working to complete and distribute the updates. Until the update from the town’s vendor is complete, staff are unable to register or re-register camper trailers. Anyone who needs to register or re-register a camper trailer should call the Town of Wells main office at 207-646-5113 or visit the office at 208 Sanford Road to determine whether staff can complete the transaction.

STATEWIDE The Eastern Trail is a 65mile system of existing trail segments and on-road routes that runs from the New Hampshire border to Portland, passing through Kittery, Eliot, South Berwick, Wells, Kennebunk, Arundel, Biddeford, Saco, Old Orchard Beach, Scarborough, and South Portland. Several gaps remain to create a continuous corridor from Massachusetts and New Hampshire to Portland. The Eastern Trail includes 23 off-road miles from South Portland to Kennebunk, as well as more than 40

miles of on-road segments. The Eastern Trail Alliance has been working to address an 11-mile gap between the southern terminus of the off-road Eastern Trail in Kennebunk and the future site of the Eastern Trail in North Berwick, near Route 9 and Pratt & Whitney. A 2021 study examined the two outer segments of the 11-mile route between Kennebunk and North Berwick.

itation can help the body relax and prepare for sleep. Use Light To Support the Body’s Internal Clock The body’s internal clock relies heavily on light cues. Exposure to natural morning light can help regulate wakefulness during the day and support sleep at night. Spending time outdoors, sitting near a window, or using a light-therapy lamp during darker months may help reinforce this rhythm. Maintaining consistent

sleep and wake times and creating a relaxing bedtime routine can also help the body adjust to seasonal changes. During transitions such as the start of Daylight Saving Time, gradually shifting bedtime may make the adjustment easier. Encourage Healthy Sleep Habits for the Whole Family Sleep is especially important for children and teenagers, supporting growth, learning, and emotional well-being. Families can encourage healthier routines by setting consistent bedtimes, limiting evening screen use, and creating a calm

bedtime environment. Adults also play an important role in modeling healthy habits. When parents prioritize their own sleep and maintain regular routines, children are more likely to understand the importance of rest. Sleep is an impor tant part of overall health. Making small, consistent changes to sleep habits can help support better rest and improve daily well-being. Article content provided by Dr. Ana Stankovic for UnitedHealthcare of New England.

Solution:

The star of today’s puzzle is the rook (b3) working with the pawn (f6). The rook is a “longrange” piece. It can move up and down or side to side across the entire board unless there is a piece in its way. The pawn, on the other hand, is not. The pawn is the only piece that captures differently than it moves. The pawn captures diagonally. In its present position at f6, the pawn is attacking e7 and g7. The rook moves to h3+ (check). Black needs to think; CPR. Can black Capture the checking (attacking) piece? No, he can not. Can black Protect the king? No, the pawn only moves straight ahead. There is no piece on h5 that the pawn can attack. Can the king Retreat (run away)? No, h8 is on the same ﬁle so the king stays in check. Can the king move to g7? No, the white pawn is attacking that square so black will remain in check. This is checkmate.
