Capriccio Festival of Kites Soars into Its 25th Year
OGUNQUIT -
Ogunquit’s end-of-summer tradition returns with a week of music, community, and one of the town’s most beloved events: the 25th annual Capriccio Festival of Kites.
The event takes place Saturday, September 6, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Main Beach, a joyful, colorful day of family fun. Kite-making workshops begin at 9 a.m., which will also feature professional kite flying demonstrations throughout the morning. Kids and adults alike can design their own kites to enter in the festival’s contest, which includes
multiple categories and prizes. Kites can be purchased at the kite-making stations so everyone can join in.
The Grand Ascension takes place at noon, when the skies above fill with kites – a spectacular sight not to be missed! Have those phones and cameras ready to take some incredible pics!
Live performances by Joyce Andersen and Harvey Reid take place at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. at Main Beach during the festival. The celebrated folk duo is known for their unique blend of musical styles, mastery of instruments, and storytelling.
Andersen performs her own music on violin with vocals, offering what she describes as “a modern spin on an old art form.” Her influences range from Billie Holiday and Otis Redding to Sheryl Crow, the Rolling Stones and Louis Armstrong. Reid, widely regarded as a master and innovator of the acoustic guitar, autoharp and six-string banjo, began his musical journey listening to Top 40 radio in the 1960s. Over the years he has absorbed a broad range of styles, including acoustic folk, hip-

WELLS -
The Town of Wells is hosting its fifth annual Electric Vehicle (EV) Show on Sunday, September 7, from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Wells Public Library, located at 1434 Post Road, next door to the Summer Solstice Craft Fair.
The event is open to the public and will feature a variety of electric vehicles, e-bikes, and electric-powered lawn and yard equipment. Attendees can explore the latest EV technology, take test drives and rides, and hear directly from owners sharing their experiences. Local dealers and EV enthusiasts will provide hands-on demonstrations, and resources will be available to help residents learn about charging stations, trip planning, and infrastructure improvements.
Complimentary snacks
and beverages will be provided, and Energy Advisory Committee members will be on hand throughout the show to answer questions and provide information.
This year’s show will also feature the launch of the Wells Energy Survey, open to both year-round and seasonal residents. The brief survey covers topics such as home energy use, recycling, utilities, electric vehi-
cles, and local transit. Feedback will help the Energy Advisory Committee better understand community priorities and pro
vide recommendations that support energy savings and future improvements.
“Our goal is to hear directly from residents about what matters most to them in terms of energy use and sustainability,” said committee members. “The survey is a chance for the com-
munity to help shape future initiatives.”

Coast Guard to Delay Removal of Navigational Buoys in Gulf of Maine
States Coast Guard delay its plans to remove navigational buoys in the Gulf of Maine and Atlantic Ocean, Senator Angus King (I-ME) has received confirmation that the Coast Guard will consider the recommendation. In a letter to the senators, Michael D. Emerson, director of marine transportation systems at the Coast Guard, said the agency plans to modify and extend its stakeholder engagement process to better assess the impacts of the proposal.
The Coast Guard launched the Coastal Buoy Modernization Initiative in April 2025 as part of its broader Short-Range Aids-to-Navigation Modernization effort. The initiative proposed discontinuing 351 coastal buoys across New England, with Maine accounting for the largest share at 145. At the same time, an additional 2,349 buoys and beacons are under review for potential removal as part of the Harbor Buoy Modernization Initiative and the Shallow
Water Level of Service Study (SWLOSS), which is scheduled for phased implementation from 2026 through 2029. In total, approximately 2,700 buoys are under consideration for removal along the New England coast.
“I appreciate your concern that the Coast Guard slow down the effort to ensure that the needs of communities and mariners in your states are understood. Accordingly, the Coast Guard will modify and extend the process. The Northeast District will review first round comments, assess feedback, and re-advertise with any changes to the current proposal. This notice will include changes to aids in the vicinity of proposed discontinuations (such as relocations, lighting, or increased nominal range); which will provide users a more complete change picture,” wrote Emerson to the senators.

Poor Rocky. His family lost their home during Hurricane Milton, so they left their ravaged home and moved to assisted living in Maine.
The family was happily settled in. Rocky spent his time sleeping on his mom’s lap, watching TV. Then another life change happened, and sadly, Rocky ended up at Safe Haven.
He’s been a remarkably good and lovable fellow during his stay at the shelter. He loves scratching posts and is a goodnatured guy. In the past, he even had a small dog friend.
This is just so sad. This kitty had two homes with the same family, and now has no one. He sure does miss that!
How wonderful it will be for Rocky when some lucky person adopts him and shows him that all is not lost. He will make a wonderful addition to any family!

Tip
Hello there, I’m Tip and I’m pleased to meet you. Don’t you just love how I tip one ear up and one ear down? It makes me super cute, if I do say so myself! Since I first came to AWS in the spring, I’ve been in foster care. I consider myself very fortunate because I’ve gotten to hang with some awesome people who have taken great care of me. They are away on vacation right now, so I’m back at AWS. I’m hoping while I’m here this weekend, my new people will come along and give me the very special home I need. What makes me special? I can be wobbly when I walk due to some congenital medical issues. While it doesn’t stop me from living my best life, there are a few things my new people can do to make things easier for me. For example, I would like my house to have carpets to help me with my traction and lots of cozy places where I can rest. Now don’t think I’m a couch potato – I’m a puppy at heart! I have lots of energy, and love to be outside. Running around in the grass is just the best! The grass gives me traction and I can really go go go!

The Anatomy of a Shared Community Garden
By Jim Fabiano, Guest Writer
I sold my house a couple of years ago and one of the things I miss most is my garden. Nearing our mid-seventies, my wife and I decided to downsize and move into an apartment complex in York. We believed it was the right thing to do.
I noticed a few garden plots in the area and asked management if I could use one. They were small, but would still let me feel the dirt and grow a few things that always taste best straight from your own garden.
This has been one of the best growing seasons I can ever remember. Since I’ve lived in York for almost 50 years, I was a part of many growing seasons. In my past gardens I planted tomatoes, lettuce, green beans, zucchini, summer squash, eggplant, radishes, peppers, asparagus, horse radish, beets, and every type of herb known to mankind.
We gave away most of our crops, but my wife would spend the summer turning the rest into delicious meals. By the end of the season, when I joked that there was more where that came from, I was a little wary – she’s very
skilled with a knife.
In our little plot, we now have two tomato plants, some lettuce, and a few herbs, while most of the space is filled with flowers that make it the most whimsical plot of them all.
Walking through the garden of plots, I started to imagine what the people who decided to make their plots come alive were like. One plot was totally filled with cucumber plants, to the point where it overflowed. This person must either love cucumbers or enjoy giving them away. Both are probably true.
Another plot was filled with garlic. Either this person had a massive fear of vampires or a massive love for the scent of garlic. Hopefully not both. The plot next to that one was filled with multiple varieties of peppers. I wondered if the two plots were taken care of by a person who loved to make multiple varieties of relish, or things that pop in your mouth.
Continuing my trek through the gardens, I then saw a plot filled with cabbage. The heads were beautiful, surrounded by

Chance Rheinold Holton, 36
SOUTH BERWICK –
Chance Rheinold Holton, of South Berwick, passed away on August 15, 2025.
Chance was born on July 22, 1989 in Rochester, NH to Rheinhold Holton and Diana LaPanne Holton. Chance and his younger brother, Taylor, were raised by their father and stepmother, Kimberly Holton, on the family homestead on Emery’s Bridge Road in South Berwick, where he resided the majority of his life.
Chance graduated from Marshwood High School in 2007, where he played baseball, football, and excelled in wrestling. After high school, he started his career as a barista in Ogunquit. He then went to Palm Springs, CA to manage three cafes. Eventually, Chance’s path brought him back home, where he then helped open a new café at Anthony’s Food Shop in York.
Looking for the next challenge, Chance then started a new career with the United States Postal Service, where he was promoted to supervisor.
Chance was a CrossFit enthusiast who enjoyed hunting with his family and raising livestock with a neighborhood
homestead group. He was involved in his community, serving as a Trustee for nonprofit Emery’s Bridge Community Improvement Association. One of Chance’s most cherished activities was golfing with his best friend, his brother Taylor, with whom he shared a special lifelong bond.
Chance will be remembered for his kindness and good heart. He was always there to help and lend a hand to those who needed it. He was a gentle soul who genuinely cared about the people around him. He lit up every room he entered and never left without a hug or a smile, expressing in some way what you meant to him. These qualities are the reasons why Chance touched countless friends and acquaintances who will never forget him.
Chance is survived by his father, Rheinold and his fiancé Cindy Chick; mother Diana; stepmother Kimberly and husband Bob; brother Taylor; sister Amy; along with many aunts, uncles, and cousins.
In lieu of flowers, donations made to the Emery’s Bridge Community Improvement Association are greatly appreciated: @ ebciaschoolhouse.

Ruby Juanita (Rexroad) Mackie, 96
SOUTH BERWICK –
Ruby Juanita (Rexroad) Mackie, always known as Juanita, went to heaven on August 3, 2025 at age 96, surrounded by her children.
She was born in Morgantown, WV, on November 23, 1928 to Harvey Newton Rexroad and Ruby (Nixon) Rexroad. She grew up in Charlston, WV, graduated from Stonewall Jackson high school class of 1946, then received a two-year degree in comptometry from Morris Harvey college, now known as the University of Charleston. Juanita worked as a comptometer operator for Ryerson Steel for over five years in Boston before marrying and re-locating to St Louis, MO and starting a family.
In the mid-1960s she moved to York, where she remained for many years. From a young age, dance was a big part of Juanita’s life – primarily ballet – so it was natural for her to start a dance school, which she loved. Later, she obtained her real estate license, starting and operating Bill Mackie Real Estate with her husband. She was very successful in this field and worked within the real estate business for over 20 years, including rehabbing homes and rentals.
In the mid-1980s, Juanita made South Berwick her home until 2022, when she then moved into her daughter Lynne’s house in Eliot. In May of 2025, she moved to Durgin Pines, where family was a part of the staff.
Playing duplicate bridge was one of Juanita’s passions. She belonged to many groups and clubs
over the years, where she found and maintained lifelong friendships. The years were filled with fun bridge parties. While her kids were young, a new game of bridge was invented, which the family called “Back-Alley Bridge.” This game was always a favorite and continues today.
Juanita was very good with numbers, an avid player of Sudoku, and loved playing the stock market. She was kind, gentle, and always thankful for the smallest things – a beautiful soul inside and out. Juanita loved to laugh but most of all, was a wonderful mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She was known as “grammy” to many, and will be greatly missed.
Juanita was predeceased by her parents, Harvey Newton Rexroad and Ruby (Nixon) Rexroad; her brothers, James Oliver Rexroad, Harvey Nixon Rexroad, and William Pershing Rexroad; and a sister, Mary Cerena Rexroad. She is survived by her brother, Benjamin Bliss Rexroad of Hudson, OH; her three children, Douglas Mackie of Eliot, Lynne Chick of Eliot, and Claudia Mackie of South Berwick; granddaughters Kathryn (Dan) Desrosiers and Jamie Beaupre; two great grandchildren, Ruby and Jackson Desrosiers; and her beloved cat, Henry, who she often referred to as “a good pup.”
Stephen Paul Marshall, 65
ELIOT – Stephen Paul Marshall passed away August 20, 2025 at his family camp on Moxie Pond in West Forks – his favorite place – after a brief battle with cancer.
Stephen was born in Portsmouth, NH, to Mary (Betty) E. Jewett Marshall Fecteau and Philip S. Marshall Jr. on March 2, 1960.
Stephen grew up on his family’s farm in Eliot where he enjoyed an adventurous childhood, and was even mischievous at times. At a young age, he was known to carry a wooden stool to get up on a horse, or to show up with a bucket of snakes. Stephen had a love of nature, camp, and the farm – showing and riding horses, fishing, boating, building forts, and treasure hunting with his brothers and sisters and later,
with his own children. He loved walks in nature, prayer time, and creative storytelling. Stephen was known for fixing anything put in front of him and for remaining humble, hardworking, a reliable sibling, and a go-to friend, carrying these passions throughout life with a childlike appreciation for the world.
Losing his father in 1974, Stephen grew into a strong, faithfilled, caring young man while helping maintain the family farm.
After graduating in 1978 from Marshwood High School, Stephen remained on the family property, later building his house and raising a family, horses, and cattle of his own.
In 1979, he started his career as a pressman for The Portsmouth Herald in Portsmouth, NH where he worked 18 years, moving up to run the press room. He then transitioned to Foster’s Daily Democrat in Dover, NH where he would remain for 20 years before retiring.
After retiring from Foster’s, Stephen took a job at York Housing Authority, where he worked for four years, maintaining properties and fixing anything they would throw his way.
Stephen is survived by his loving wife, Deborah J. Marshall. The couple married in 1981 and had 44 adventurous years together. They raised five children

This lemon vinaigrette is easy to make, using fresh lemon juice and ingredients you probably already have on hand. Delicious on any salad, letting the flavors of fresh, seasonal produce shine. It also makes a great marinade for chicken.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
in their starter home and later, a house Steve built with the help of his brother and family. The home’s design was inspired by a carpentry book gifted by a close friend.
Stephen built great memories and foundations with his children: daughter Amanda Tuttle of Eliot; son-in-law Adam Tuttle of Hampton, NH; son Philip Marshall and daughter-in-law Elizabeth (Beth) Marshall of Berwick; son Peter Marshall and daughter-in-law Andrea Marshall of Berwick; daughter Catrina Swasey and son-in-law Nathaniel (Nate) Swasey of Brentwood, NH; daughter Clara Mooers of Eliot and partner Ben Gilbert of Portsmouth, NH; son-in-law Brian Mooers of North Berwick; and their eight grandchildren: Hannah and Chase Tuttle, Orson, Angelina and Edmund Marshall, Natalie Swasey, and Ivy and Oliver Mooers.
Siblings John and Randi Marshall of Eliot; Marylin Mullins of Eliot; David and Mary Marshall of York; Janice Marshall of Eliot; and stepsisters Liz Woodward and Carol Cooper, as well as many loved nieces and nephews.
Stephen was predeceased by his father, Philip S Marshall Jr. and mother, Mary (Betty) Jewett Marshall Fecteau, as well as many loved grandparents, aunts, and uncles.
During his final months, Stephen was able to spend time with family and friends, building cherished memories they will carry with them.
Dad enjoyed life and loved Jesus. He instilled this love and faith through his unwavering generosity, strength, support, and courage. Your laughter will always fill our hearts.

Many of the gardens were decorated with terraces, cages, and decorations that held up pea plants, tomatoes, and squash –destined to become much larger than me. Pinwheels of multiple colors spun in the wind, literally creating the colors of summer. My wife and I decided to place a white-and-gold fairy holding onto a plant, hoping she wouldn’t be blown away by the wind. We called her Rosie, and I am sure she is happy with where we placed her.
One of the things I noticed about the gardens was that they were all meticulously kept. I found few weeds, even among the many

VOLUNTARY WATER CONSERVATION
Many of our customers have inquired about the state of our water supply caused by the worsening rainfall deficit. Due to our proactive management and strong relationship with Kittery Water District, Chases Pond is currently at our normal level for this time of the year
With that said, because we are still in drought conditions, pumping record volumes out of the plant, and our normal recharge periods are still a couple months away, we are now asking for your help in voluntary water conservation on all non-essential water use.
Why do you need to conserve if the pond is at a normal level?
In mid-July, Chases Pond was just over a foot below full level. Staff had discussions with Kittery Water District to discuss the levels of their reservoirs and see if they had ample supply to give us some water through our raw water siphon between Folly Pond and Chases Pond. Because YWD has peak demands during the summer and KWD has peak demands during the winter (due to the usage on the shipyard) KWD was in great shape and eager to help. That temporary transfer of water enabled us to maintain Chases pond at normal levels until mid/late August. We are grateful for Kittery’s help, but to maintain healthy reservoir levels, the siphon had to be stopped. Since drought conditions are ongoing and YWD is still pumping record volumes out of the plant, Chases Pond may soon be affected. Therefore, the need for voluntary water conservation on all non-essential water use is now necessary.
We understand that several aspects of some businesses are reliant on water, and we strive to maintain that availability for you by pursuing options to ensure continued ample water service through conservation, local partnerships, and emergency interconnections. However, our neighboring utilities are also feeling the effects of current drought conditions and temporary water availability is not guaranteed through them.
The following voluntary measures on all our parts can be an effective means of addressing water quantity deficits until natural recharge occurs:
• Educate employees, guests, or residents of the conservation effort.
• Avoid watering lawns. Water garden plants only when necessary, before 9 a.m. or after 5 p.m. to avoid water loss by evaporation. Use a soil trickle hose not a sprinkler.
• Keep grass longer than usual to promote soil moisture retention and help develop deeper roots.
• Use mulch and dig troughs around plants to hold moisture. Delay planting, seeding, and sodding.
• Avoid washing vehicles or using water to clean walkways, decks, or driveways. Use a broom instead.
• Cover swimming pools when they are not in use to prevent evaporation.
• Adapt plumbing with water saving devices. These are inexpensive and easy to install.
• Fix any leaks or drips you may find around the premise, including leaky toilets, which can use up to 200 gallons of water per day.

5th Annual Perkins Cove Plein Air Painting
OGUNQUIT -
The Town of Ogunquit’s Parks and Recreation committee is proud to present one of Maine’s premier cultural happenings returning for its exciting fifth year. The Perkins Cove Plein Air Painting event takes place on Saturday, September 6, with a rain date of Sunday, September 7. More than 100 professional and amateur plein air painters will gather across Perkins Cove and along the Marginal Way to capture the rugged coastal beauty of the Ogunquit region, known as
“Beautiful Place by the Sea.”
This year, the town of Ogunquit is celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Marginal Way, its famed coastal walk. For generations, plein air painters have set up along its rocky cliffs and tidal beaches to capture the beauty of the Maine coast. Visitors can watch artists at work throughout Ogunquit –including Perkins Cove, Ogunquit Beach and the Marginal Way – as scenes of the seaside town come to life on their easels.
Plein air painting – the practice of painting outdoors –is a long-standing tradition in Ogunquit and specifically, Perkins Cove, where generations of artists helped form what became known as the Ogunquit Art Colony. The colony took shape in 1898 when Charles Woodbury opened the Ogunquit Summer School, followed by Hamilton Easter Field’s Summer School
of Graphic Arts in 1911. By the turn of the century, the town had become an established artist haven and a focal point for American modernism. For more than a century, artists have been drawn to Ogunquit’s rocky coastline, tidal river, Ogunquit Beach, the Marginal Way, and Perkins Cove harbor with its iconic footbridge.
Known locally as “The Cove,” Perkins Cove will once again serve as headquarters for this year’s event. Billed as the largest one-day plein air event in New England, it draws thousands of first-time and returning art lovers each year. Along with live painting, the day will feature live music, and Ogunquit’s shops and businesses will be open to join in the celebration.
Plein air painting runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., followed by judging in Perkins Cove. Awards will be presented in both professional and amateur categories. The day concludes with the popular Wet Paint Sale, giving visitors the chance to purchase fresh-off-the-easel works. Live music in the cove adds to the festive atmosphere. For the second year, the event will be judged by Olena Babak, a classically trained, award-winning artist whose work has been featured in regional, national and international collections.

Bringing ‘Once’ to Life: Hackmatack’s Musicians Take the Stage
BERWICKWhen the curtain rises at Hackmatack Playhouse on September 5 for the opening of
“Once,” the stage will include both actors and live musicians. In the production, every actor also performs as a musician. The award-winning musical, known for its Irish-inspired score and intimate storytelling, is brought to life this fall by a cast whose real-life artistry is as musically compelling as the characters they portray.
“’Once’ is about love, music, and connection,” said Executive Producer Aram Guptill. “It’s a story, set in Ireland, that has a rugged authenticity that feels like it could happen anywhere. Our cast embodies that rich honesty through their storytelling and their music.”
to record an album. Their partnership deepens into an unspoken love, but life circumstances begin to pull them in different directions.
“Once” follows Guy, played by JD Raines, a disillusioned Dublin street musician on the verge of giving up his dreams, and Girl, played by Lauren Quigley, a spirited Czech immigrant who refuses to let him quit. When Girl convinces Guy to record his songs, the two gather a motley group of friends and strangers to form a band, rehearsing in a local music shop and raising the money
The Hackmatack production brings together a company of actor-musicians from across New England and beyond, many with deep ties to both the stage and the music scene. Raines, an actor-musician raised in Maine, is a vocalist, guitarist, and drummer who holds a BA in jazz and contemporary music from the University of Maine. Quigley, a New Yorkbased actress, singer, and pianist, earned her BFA from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts and is passionate about telling women-led stories through her art.
The ensemble, who comprise of the friends, family, and past loves who witness Guy and Girl’s journey, features Peter DiMaggio as Billy (guitar/percussion/vocals); Will Saxe as Bank Manager (guitar/vocals); Annika Andersson as Reza (violin/vocals); Nolan LeMay as Andrej (mandolin/guitar/bass/
vocals); Marion Stenfort as Baruska (accordion/piano/vocals); Jacob Copp as Svec (cello,/bass/ percussion/vocals); Billie Butler as Da (guitar/bass/vocals); Jules Good as Eamon (bass/viola/ukelele/cello/vocals), Teddy Wilkin as Emcee (violin/vocals); Sophia Hines as Ex-Girlfriend (ukelele/ guitar/percussion/piano/vocals); and Violet Burns as Ivonka (ukelele/melodica/vocals). Together, they weave the show’s intimate world, each contributing their own musicianship to the production’s rich sound.
The story’s intimacy is a natural match for Hackmatack’s rustic barn theater. Audiences

SOUTH BERWICKThe Jewett Writers’ Group will return to where it first began 10 years ago for a special in-person meeting on Monday, September 8, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Sarah Orne Jewett House Museum and Visitor Center, located at 5 Portland Street in South Berwick.
All are welcome to attend and bring a piece of written work to share, whether fiction, essay, poetry, memoir, blog or another form of creative writing.
The group is facilitated by writer Brian Evans-Jones and typically meets on the second Monday of each month via Zoom. It originally gathered in person at the Jewett House, located next to the home of “The Country of the Pointed Firs” author Sarah Orne Jewett (1849–1919). Meetings shifted online during the pandemic and have continued virtually since.
Attendees will read a section of their work and receive feedback from other members and facilitator Evans-Jones, who has taught creative writing and poetry since 2008. Originally from Britain, Evans-Jones served as Poet Laureate of Hampshire and led a similar writing group at the Jane Austen House. His poems have been published in magazines and competitions in both the United States and the United Kingdom, and many of his students have gone on to publish books, win awards, and earn degrees in creative writing.
During the meeting, writers receive feedback and different perspectives on their work, while those who have not yet started writing gain a supportive

Laudholm Nature Crafts Festival Returns
A popular tradition continues the weekend after Labor Day, as the Laudholm Nature Crafts Festival returns to the Wells Reserve at Laudholm for its 37th year. Artwork and fine crafts by many of New England’s finest artisans will be on display Saturday, September 6 and Sunday, September 7, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day. The event is a celebration of local art, craft, and community, as well as the largest annual fundraiser for the Wells Reserve at Laudholm.
The Reserve anticipates this year’s festival to be the largest yet, featuring a selection of over 150 juried artisans showcasing painting, photography, ceramics, jewelry, fiber crafts, mixed media, and more. Live music, an expansive raffle, and a variety of local food and beverage offerings, from cider donuts to lobster rolls, will round out the event to make for a fun and festive weekend. Over 100 dedicated volunteers help to make the show a success, and nearly 6,000 attendees are expected.
New this year, the Sunday lineup boasts a Native Plant Sale from 11 a.m to 2 p.m., presented by the York County Master Gardener Volunteers. Located just outside the festival gates, the sale will offer more than 40 species of young plants grown from wild or wild-type seed, along with information on plant growing conditions, benefits to wildlife, and complementary species.

Craft Show Features Maine and New England Artisans, Honors Founder
Enjoy the best of arts and crafts at an annual show that is a festive annual tradition in Wells: the September Summer Solstice Craft Show. The popular two-day event will be held on Saturday, September 6 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday, September 7, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Wells Jr. High School, 1470 Post Road, Wells.
The juried craft show features over 70 crafters, artists, and artisans who will be displaying their handmade wares both indoors and outdoors on the school grounds. Traditional, contemporary and country crafts will all be featured: stained glass, jewelry, pottery, soaps, clothing, wood crafts, fiber arts, graphics, photography, handcrafted specialty foods, and much more. Many of the crafters and artists have
been coming back for years, and they look forward to making new products for their customers.
Here’s just a sampling of the featured artists and artisans showing at the September show:
Cindy Robbins, Yarmouth. Robbins’ decoupaged switch plates and napkin rings in multiple designs complement any décor.
Diana Davis, Stow. Davis’ fabric pocketbook designs include large and small lined purses.
Eric Cutter, Freeport. Cutter hand-makes heirloom quality cooper and brass jewelry in a variety of designs.
John and Debbie Liberty. The Libertys create animals and whimsical sculptures made from scrap metal, nuts, and bolts.
Kathy Angel Lee, Old Orchard Beach. Lee’s fabric collages and art cards feature landscapes and flowers made from fabric.
Sanra Rodick, Rochester, NH. Rodick offers hand-knit sweaters, scarves, shawls, hats, mittens, socks and slippers –something for everyone.
This season, the show’s organizers will honor Darrija Annette Littlefield, who passed away on August 18. A certified herbalist, Littlefield made and sold soaps and lotions and used her expertise to found and direct the Summer Solstice League of Maine Craft Shows. She began the venture in 1982 with 15 crafters on the front lawn of Wells Junior High School, which has since grown into a series of shows allowing Maine artisans to display, demonstrate and sell their handcrafted items to residents and seasonal visitors. A memorial honoring Littlefield will be on display at the fair.
The craft show is held rain

plants that were there. This must mean the gardeners had a sense of order – I’m sure their homes were kept the same way.
There was one plot that had nothing growing in it, covered with a layer of black plastic. I assume this was to keep weeds from taking over. Cages and wire fences were tossed in the middle, along with a single owl statue lying on its side. I hope the people assigned to this space are okay. Still, I wonder if leaving that one plot untouched was meant to give visitors a break from all the beauty surrounding the gardens.
I sold my house a couple of years ago and one of the things I missed the most was my garden. I don’t have to miss it anymore. Jim Fabiano is a retired teacher and writer living in York.

The American Heart Association in Maine will hold its ninth annual Go Red for Women “Purse-onality” event on Wednesday, September 10 at the Nonantum Resort in Kennebunkport. The event features a silent auction of more than 25 purse packages donated by local supporters. Each purse is handselected and filled with items and mementos that reflect the donors’ “purse-onality” such as work, hobbies or family interests.
medical providers will also demonstrate Hands-Only CPR and how to use an automated external defibrillator (AED).

Anchor Kathleen Jordan will emcee the event which will celebrate the Go Red for Women movement and help increase research of heart disease and stroke in women. Allyson Welsh will share her personal journey of surviving a cardiac arrest thanks to CPR.
According to the American Heart Association, women are less likely than men to receive CPR from a bystander. Men have a 23% higher chance of surviving a cardiac arrest than women. Cardiovascular diseases, including stroke, claim the life of a woman about every 80 seconds. As the leading cause of death among women, cardiovascular diseases kill one in three women – more than all cancers combined.
U.S. Senators Angus King (I-ME) and Jerry Moran (RKS), members of the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee, recently introduced legislation to permanently authorize a pilot program that expands access to medical disability exams for veterans filing claims for serviceconnected disabilities. The legislation would allow any eligible health care professional with a
current, unrestricted license and a contract with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to provide medical disability exams to veterans across state lines. The measure builds on a pilot program established by Congress in 2020, which allowed certain licensed medical professionals to conduct contract medical disability exams across state lines for the VA.
to our veterans to return the service they gave to us while minimizing bureaucracy and delay,” said King. “By allowing veterans to visit any VA approved licensed medical professional to perform their benefits exam, we can help alleviate the patient backlogs and ensure veterans receive the benefits they’ve earned in a timely manner. This bipartisan bill is yet another way we can express our gratitude to the brave men and women who have served.”

The final competitive week of the 2025 Cape Neddick Country Club (CNCC) Men’s League took place on Tuesday, August 19 with 24 golfers competing in six flight playoff matches as well as fortythree battling in the traditional Best of the Rest tournament.
It took an extra hole to decide the outcome of the three of the six playoff matches. Bob Ackley and Lee Page defeated Leo Dunn and George Gochros on the 10th hole to win the Keith O’Connor Flight. Michael Gauthier and David Yarian outlasted Dave DiBona and Bob Kaufman on the same hole to win the Rocky Galante Flight. Following directly behind that match, Jay Audet and Liam Burke defeated Bryan Larson and Dan Soule, Jr. on the extra hole to come out on top in the Armand Davy Flight.
Earlier in the afternoon, the other three matches ended with a little less drama. In the Joe Colwell Flight, Devin Coleman and Micah Lewis wasted little time in their win over Reid Butler and Jake Kirsch, 5 and 3. Rick Clark and Tom Lawless returned the favor from the week before by defeating Chris Brown and Steve Williams, 4 and 2 in the Tom McNeice Flight.

The Marshwood High School volleyball program hosted its first annual car wash and bake sale fundraiser on Saturday, August 23. Previous attempts were not possible because the team lacked a suitable location. This year, NAPA Auto Parts in Eliot provided the parking lot and donated car wash supplies, hoses and water, allowing the team to hold the fundraiser.

par 36 back nine. Doherty also posted the best individual score (3-under par) among the sixteen “A Players.” George Gochros was this week’s “B Player” star with his score of 1-under par. Six alternates filled in as substitutes and Dan Burbine (1-under par) was the top golfer among that group.
In the individual season-long competitions, two golfers – Bob Satter and David Strzempko – remain deadlocked at the top of the “A Player” standings with 10 points each. Should the season end with the two tied, Satter holds the tiebreaker after beating Strzempko back in week 11. In the “B Player” standings, leader Vic Finnemore’s win over second Bob Ackley gave him an edge, as Finnemore now leads Ackley by 1/2 point.
Bob Fulton continues to hold a commanding lead over second place Leon Weaver in the “Best 8 of 15 Stableford Scores” alternates tournament. In the Ringers Tournaments, Jay Audet leads in Division 1 and Leon Weaver is in first place in Division 2.
what the turnout would be like, but we wanted to give it a go,” said head coach Robert Childs. “The girls were excited about it and we wanted to support them.”
The team washed more than 100 vehicles and sold dozens of baked goods. Hundreds of locals came out to support the girls, many of whom had no connection to the program or the school.
“We are incredibly thankful for the way the communities of Eliot, Rollinsford, and South Berwick showed up to support the girls. It’s truly humbling to see everyone come together like this,” said Stephanie Robinson, a parent of two Marshwood students who are both part of the volleyball program.
“Our resilient girls are hoping for continued support from the communities in which
they call home. Our program could still use help raising additional funds for new equipment, and coaches, to support the close to 90 female athletes in 7th through 12th grade that participate in the Marshwood Volleyball Program,” said another Marshwood faculty member.
“All in all the fundraiser was a success, and a great start to the season for the girls. We raised more than quadruple what we had hoped for. But the best part was all the smiles, and work ethic they showed off the court, even after a tiring week. We are some lucky coaches, thats for sure! Thank you to the community for their support on behalf of all the student athletes, volunteers, and coaches of the Marshwood Volleyball Program,” said Childs.
