Hal Kushner to Introduce Ken Burns at Graves Library Event

Left: Hal-Kushner (photo credit: www.vvmf.org). Right: Ken Burns (photo credit: Stephanie Berger).

KENNEBUNK Longtime summer resident Hal Kushner, a friend of Graves Memorial Library, will appear on “207,” News Center Maine’s weeknight news magazine program, Monday, July 27, at 7 p.m. on WCSH-TV 6. Kushner, a retired medical doctor and retired U.S. Army officer, will be interviewed by 207 show host Rob Caldwell. The reason: Kushner is largely responsible for bringing author Ken Burns to Kennebunk for his sold-out appearance July 30 at Kennebunk High School. Kushner served in Vietnam

as a noncombatant after earning his medical degree. He was captured by the Viet Cong in 1967 and spent nearly 2,000 days in various prison camps, including the infamous Saigon Hilton, where U.S. Senator John McCain of Arizona was also a prisoner. Kushner worked with Burns on his “The Vietnam War” documentary, which aired on PBS in 2017. Kushner was interviewed over nine consecutive hours at his home in Cape Porpoise in 2011. Kushner had tried for 10 or 12 years to get Burns to come to Kennebunk and speak. “I think Ken finally relented the 1,346th

time I asked him,” he quips. He reminded Burns that he was turning 85 this summer and that if he was coming, “he better make it soon.” As fate would have it, Caldwell interviewed Kushner on his 85th birthday, June 30, at his home. Kushner will introduce Burns at the July 30 program, the third in a series of Graves Library events celebrating America’s 250th anniversary, officially known as the nation’s semiquincentennial. Caldwell will interview the iconic documentarian. For more information, visit www.graveslibrary.org or call 207-967-2778.

To mark both occasions, Tramuto has committed a multimilliondollar philanthropic investment to establish and expand endowments supporting education, equity, and human rights initiatives. “As we celebrate 25 years of the TramutoPorter Foundation, I am reminded that compassion is not a soft ideal. It is a force that changes lives, strengthens communities, and shapes a more just world,” said Tramuto. “This anniversary is not a culmination but a renewed beginning. My hope is that these endowments will ensure that compassionate leadership endures long after all of us, touching generations we will never meet. I can think of no better way to honor this milestone, or my 70th birthday, than by investing in the people and programs that are building a kinder future.” The endowment commitment reflects the Foundation’s belief that compassion must be sustained through institutions, programs, and leaders equipped to carry it forward.

Maine Lobstermen’s Association Launches Billion Egg Challenge KENNEBUNK The Maine Lobstermen’s Association, in partnership with the Maine Lobster Community Alliance, recently launched the Billion Egg Challenge, a statewide competition among Maine lobstermen to protect one billion lobster eggs through the industry’s long-standing V-notching conservation practice. The challenge began Monday, July 6, with a video launch featuring Maine lobsterman and social media creator Jacob Knowles, and will run through Sept. 25, National Lobster Day. The Billion Egg Challenge brings Maine’s lobster community together to highlight the industry’s V-notching conservation program and efforts to support the long-term sustainability of the fishery. Lobstermen and student harvesters can participate in the competition by protecting lobster eggs through the practice. Members of the public can sup-

port participating teams, with prizes available for selected supporters. Businesses and industry organizations also can sponsor the challenge to help fund conservation tools, education, and outreach efforts. “Why does protecting one billion eggs matter? Those eggs could grow into 10 million future lobsters,” said Patrice McCarron, executive director of the Maine Lobstermen’s Association. “The Billion Egg Challenge is a way to celebrate Maine’s world-class stewardship of the lobster resource and make sure consumers, managers, and the public understand the conservation leadership of Maine lobstermen.” V-notching is one of Maine lobster’s signature conservation measures. When lobstermen catch an egg-bearing female lobster, they cut a small V-shaped notch in the tail before returning See EGG on page 20...

Extending the Life of Carpeting NATIONWIDE Carpets are a significant investment in any home, providing warmth, comfort, and personalized style to nearly every room. However, daily wear, spills, and the buildup of dirt can diminish both their appearance and lifespan. The following guide by cleaning expert Joyce French of HomeHow.co.uk outlines strategies for extending the life of carpets, including do-it-yourself techniques and the benefits of professional cleaning. It examines several cleaning methods, including steam cleaning, dry cleaning, hot water extraction, and professional cleaning services. The guide also highlights signs that it may be time to repair or replace carpeting. How Long Does It Take to Clean a Carpet? The time required to clean a carpet depends primarily on its size and condition. Larger carpets generally take longer to clean, and heavily stained carpets often require additional time. On average, cleaning the carpet in a standard-sized bedroom takes about 30 to 60 minutes. Cleaning a living room carpet typically takes one to two hours. Cleaning the carpets

...CATCH from page 1 stincts took over. He dove into the water, wrapped his arms around the fish, and emerged holding a 24-pound striped sea bass, to the amazement of onlookers. The scene quickly drew a crowd of cheering beachgoers, and even the lifeguards said they had never seen anything like it. Gabriel proudly held the fish for a few photos, earning a few scrapes from its scales in the process, before carefully releasing it back into the ocean. The moment was a memorable display of excitement, courage, and respect for wildlife, a rare experience that brought an entire beach together. Complete strangers applauded, laughed, and celebrated. For an 8-year-old, it’s the kind of memory that will last a lifetime, and for everyone who witnessed it, it’s a story many will be telling for years to come.

throughout an entire home may take two to four hours, depending on the size of the home and the condition of the carpets. There are several methods of cleaning carpets. The following are among the most common carpet-cleaning methods used in the United States, along with an overview of how each works. Vacuuming For routine carpet maintenance, vacuuming is an effective way to remove light dust and debris from the surface of the carpet. Regular vacuuming, typically once or twice a week, can help keep carpets in good condition. Vacuuming is considered a light cleaning method rather than a deep-cleaning process, but it can remove much of the loose dirt and particles that accumulate over time. Dry Carpet Cleaning Dry carpet cleaning involves apply i ng a powde r compound to carpet f ibers. The powder is worked into the carpet, where it absorbs dirt and debris before being removed with a vacuum. This method can be a convenient option when a faster cleaning process is needed and provides a deeper clean than routine vacuuming alone. Steam Cleaning Steam cleaning is widely considered one of the most effective methods for deep cleaning carpets. The process uses heat and moisture to loosen dirt, debris, and buildup within carpet fibers, allowing those particles to be removed through an extraction process or absorbed by a cleaning pad, depending on the equipment used. A steam cleaner heats water to produce steam, which is applied to the carpet surface. The combination of heat and moisture helps lift dirt and residue that can contribute to wear over time, potentially extending the life and improving the appearance of carpeting.

Steam cleaning may also help reduce bacteria and dust mites, depending on the equipment, surface, and cleaning conditions. While steam cleaning is often more effective on hard surfaces than carpeting, it remains a popular option for maintaining carpets and removing embedded dirt. Hot Water Extraction Hot wate r ex t r a c t ion cleaning uses pressurized water combined with a carpet-cleaning solution to loosen dirt and debris deep within carpet fibers. The solution is injected into the carpet and then removed with a powerful vacuum system, with the extracted liquid collected in a separate tank. The extraction process provides a deep clean by removing dirt, residue and other particles from carpet fibers, helping restore the carpet’s appearance and freshness. Benefits of Professional Carpet Cleaning Professional carpet cleaning removes embedded dirt and allergens while helping maintain the appearance and condition of carpeting. Although regular vacuuming helps keep carpets clean between services, professional equipment and techniques provide a deeper cleaning. Daily foot traffic can push dirt, dust, pet hair, and other debris deep into carpet fibers. Professional cleaning removes much of this buildup, including pet dander and other allergens, which may help improve indoor air quality for some households when combined with regular maintenance. Dir t trapped in car pet fibers can contribute to wear over time by acting as an abrasive as people walk across the surface. Removing accumulated debris through professional cleaning can help extend a carpet’s usable life. Professional cleaning can also reduce the appearance of stains, dirt and everyday wear. Combined with routine maintenance, periodic cleaning helps preserve a carpet’s appearance and supports a cleaner indoor

‘Garden Mingle’ Celebrates Nature, Community YORK The public is invited to “Garden Mingle” from 11 a.m. to noon Thursday, July 30, at Sentry Hill at York Harbor, 2 Victoria Court. The event will highlight environment. Signs It May Be Time to Replace Deep, set-in stains that remain after professional cleaning may be a sign that carpeting has reached the end of its useful life and may need to be replaced. Carpet fibers that have become f lat, matted, or worn may be difficult to restore. Bald patches, thinning areas, or other visible signs of damage can also indicate that replacement should be considered. With proper maintenance and regular cleaning, carpet can often last about 10 years or longer, depending on the quality of the materials, amount of foot traffic, and overall care. Older carpeting may show more signs of wear and require evaluation to determine whether cleaning or replacement is the better option. Carpeting can collect dust, dirt and other particles over time. While regular vacuuming and professional cleaning can help reduce buildup, heavily worn, damaged or outdated carpeting may eventually need to be replaced.

Paul Johnson, 84 NORTH BERWICK – Paul Johnson passed away peacefully July 17, 2026, surrounded by the love of his family. Bor n in Liver more to Margaret Ann Johnson and George Henry Johnson, Paul attended schools in both Maine and Massachusetts, including a two-room schoolhouse, Boston Latin School, and Norwood High School, where he graduated in 1961. Family members fondly recall that on his very first day of kindergarten, Paul locked himself in the basement of his home after lunch and refused to return to school until the following year. Ironically, he went on to devote 54 years of his life to public education in Maine. As a young man, Paul was a competitive hockey and tennis player. He attended Gorham State Teachers College from 1961 to 1965, where he served two years as class president and captained the men’s tennis team for two seasons. It was on the steps of Bailey Hall that Paul found the courage to strike up a conversation with Beverly Garramore—a moment that began a remarkable 62-year love story and lifelong partnership. Paul began his educational career teaching at Windham Junior High School from 1965 to 1969. At 27 years old, he became principal of Noble Junior High School in MSAD #60, serving for five years before becoming assistant superintendent for six years. At age 38, he was appointed superintendent, a position he held for 19 years until retiring in 1999. Throughout his tenure, Paul was instrumental in the construction of five new local school buildings, including the nationally award-winning Noble High School, while keeping costs to local taxpayers to a minimum. In 1998, he served as president of the Maine School Superintendents Association. Together with teachers and administrators, Paul helped create innovative programs that put students first. He hired, mentored, and inspired countless educators, earning the admiration and respect of col-

leagues across the state. Following his retirement from MSAD #60, Paul began a second career as a school construction consultant for the Maine Department of Education with Scott Brown and Dale Doughty. Over the next 20 years, this team oversaw the site selection and construction of 75 new schools throughout Maine. Paul officially retired at age 75 while living at Bear Pond in Hartford. He and Beverly cherished the friendships they built throughout their years in education. They loved gathering with friends and colleagues over meals, drinks, laughter, and countless stories, whether dining out or hosting at home. Among those especially dear to them were the Girouxs, Goodwins, Greens, Grays, Guptills, Halletts, Turcottes, Spadafores, and Weeds. Paul treasured his Thursday night poker group whenever school board meetings were not on the schedule: Wally Kennie, Bob Doucette, Fran Hook, Ron McLaughlin, and Tony Vakalis. His college friendships with the Hoxies, LeBlancs, and Provosts remained lifelong blessings. Paul was fiercely loyal to his family, friends, colleagues, and the MSAD #60 community. Remarkably, he made it through his entire career without taking a single sick day. In retirement, Paul found joy in simple pleasures. He loved working outdoors. Over the course of his life, he enjoyed deer hunting, fishing, and spending time with his children and grandchildren. A lifelong Boston Bruins fan, Paul fondly remembered attending games with his father at the old Boston Garden for just $2.25 a ticket. He was also a lively competitor whose quick wit, good-natured heckling, and competitive spirit made him a formidable opponent and an unforgettable friend. Paul was predeceased by his beloved wife, Beverly Johnson; his parents, Margaret and George Johnson; and his brothers, Ben, Larry, and David Johnson and loved sister-in-law, “Vena” Johnson. He is lovingly survived by his son, Kenneth Johnson, and daughter-in-law, Laura Johnson, of St. Albans, VT; his daughter, Jennifer Hersom, and son-in-law, Jeremy Hersom, of Berwick; and his four cherished grandchildren: Marley and Camden Johnson of Vermont, and Addison and Olivia Hersom of Maine. The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to the compassionate staff of Seacoast Home Care and Wentworth Hospice

for honoring Paul’s wish to spend his final days at home safely and peacefully, surrounded by his loving family and beloved pets. Family, friends, former colleagues, and community members are invited to the Paul Johnson Library to share memories and reflect on a life devoted to education, leadership, and service. The gathering will take place from 4 to 7 p.m. Thursday, July 30 at Noble High School, 100 Noble Way, North Berwick.

p.m., followed by a funeral service at 5:30 p.m. at Lucas & Eaton Funeral Home, 91 Long Sands Road, York. Burial will take place Wednesday, Aug. 5 at 11 a.m. at the New Hampshire Veterans Cemetery, 110 Daniel Webster Highway, Boscawen, NH. For a full obituary visit www.lucaseatonfuneralhome. com.

She will be remembered for unwavering optimism, a deep love for the beach, and always finding that perfect spot in the sun. She found the most happiness bringing family together. Her home was full of warmth, food, laughter, and celebration. Family was always at the center of her heart. Sally’s kindness, generosity, humor, and positive spirit will be deeply missed by all. Private services will be held at a later date.

Kay Lee Snow, 81 YORK – Kay Lee Snow of York passed away July 10, 2026, at Maine Medical Center. Kay was born May 30, 1945, in Honolulu, HI, daughter of the late Dan and Lila Johnson. Kay graduated from Eliot High School and earned her teaching degree in elementary education from the Perry Normal School. She began her career as a kindergarten teacher until she and her husband, Bob, started their family with the births of Christopher, Peri-Lynne, and Johanna. Being a mother was one of Kay’s greatest joys in life. Kay was married to the love of her life, Robert, for over fifty years. They enjoyed their weekend drives touring the coast in their convertible, visiting almost every lighthouse in Maine. Kay also loved crafts, whether making crafts with friends and family or visiting local craft shows. She was also an amazing cross-stitcher and enjoyed making keepsakes. She loved baking and enjoyed taking requests for one’s favorite treats. Kay loved her children and would make them care packages for every holiday, even the obscure ones. She was a member of Middle Street Baptist Church and a Sunday school teacher. Kay loved everyone, but had a special place in her heart for children. She had such patience to let them explore their world. She had a positive and resilient attitude and did not let adversity dampen her mood.

Noble Adult Ed. Celebrates Class of 2026

NORTH BERWICK Noble Adult and Community Education celebrated the accomplishments of the Class of 2026 on May 28. Ten students earned their high school equivalency diplomas this year, and seven graduates attended the ceremony at Noble High School, where family, friends, and educators recognized their hard work. Julianna Brown was the student speaker at the ceremony, and reflected on the challenges many people face before returning to school. “A lot of us have had moments where we questioned ourselves, where we thought maybe we just weren’t good at school,” Brown said. “But I think we just didn’t have the right support, or the right timing, or the right situation to make it work the first time around. Getting here wasn’t just about passing tests; it took patience, consistency, and deciding not to give up on ourselves.” Nichole Ivey, director of Noble Adult and Community Education, spoke at the ceremony about the impact of the graduates’ accomplishments. “Your achievements extend far beyond the classroom. Through your hard work and

dedication, you have not only transformed your own lives but also the lives of those around you. You are role models, inspiring others to believe in themselves and pursue their own goals.” Several graduates are now planning to continue with their education, taking advantage of the Maine Free Community College program, which covers tuition for recent high school graduates pursuing a degree or certificate program at any of the state’s community colleges. Career pathways for graduates include culinary arts, cosmetology, automotive technology,

restaurant management, and real estate. Noble Adult and Community Education provides adult learners with opportunities to earn a high school credential, prepare for college, improve English language skills, and build digital literacy for the workplace. Classes are individualized to each student’s goals, and enrollment is available yearround. Noble Adult & Community Education is located at 100 Noble Way, North Berwick.

ears, and I’m officially off duty. I’m loyal, affectionate, and will always remind you how much I appreciate being by your side. I’ve learned that some of the best moments are the quiet ones shared together. If you’re looking for a companion who’s equal parts gentle, affectionate, and easy to love, I think we’d make a pretty great team. This year, I’d much rather make my Woofstock debut by your side than watch the fun from the sidelines. There plenty of reasons to spend the day together. Maybe we’ll pick out a new toy, grab a treat, make new friends, or just enjoy our time together. However we’d celebrate, I know one thing for sure: the only thing missing from my perfect Woofstock is you!

‘Circle Mirror Transformation’ at Hackmatack

BERWICK “Circle Mirror Transformation” is a play by American playwright and filmmaker Annie Baker centered on a drama class at a community center in a small Vermont town. The play opened Off-Broadway in 2009 and received the Obie Award for Best New American Play. It follows five strangers who come together for acting exercises, improvisation, and personal revelations that gradually create unexpected connections. What begins as a simple class becomes a quietly funny and deeply human exploration of vulnerability, identity, and ST HIGHEARD D N STA

the subtle ways people change one another. The production of “Circle Mirror Transformation” runs through Aug. 1 at Hackmatack Farm & Playhouse, 538 School St. (Route 9), Berwick. Leading the creative team are director Wanda Strukus and scenic designer Dane Leeman. For Strukus, the heart of the play lies in its ability to remind audiences why theater matters: “If you’ve ever heard someone say, ‘Theater changed my life,’ and wondered what they meant, if you’ve had your own life-changing experience with theater, or if you’re secretly longing to tap into

whatever it is that makes us gloriously (and sometimes awkwardly) human, this play is a warm and loving gift to you.” Str ukus highlights the close-knit atmosphere of the theatre class, inviting audiences to observe the story from a unique perspective. “This production is extra special because our design team is creating the ‘community center’ location of the play not on the stage, but in the center of the Hackmatack barn, tapping into the rich history of Hackmatack as a community space that hosts not just theater but contra dances, farm dinners, music, family programming, and special events. The architecture, 50+ year history, and atmosphere of the barn all play a role in creating this magical world.” Hackmatack Farm & Playhouse has presented live theater for more than 50 years. The venue’s rural setting and seasonal productions have made it a longtime part of the Seacoast arts community, attracting audiences from Maine, New Hampshire and beyond.

JOiN US THiS SUMMER FOR MUSiC AND THEATER AT OUR HiSTORiC FARM

Declaration of Independence Broadside to Visit Kennebunk KENNEBUNK The Brick Store Museum will host a rare copy of the Declaration of Independence as part of a statewide tour organized by the Maine Historical Society. The document will be on display at the museum, 117 Main St., Kennebunk, from Thursday, July 30, through Saturday, Aug. 1. Admission to the museum and the Declaration viewing will be free during the exhibit dates, thanks to support from the museum’s community partners. The tour will bring the historical document to each of Maine’s 16 counties between July and October 2026, including York County. The statewide tour coincides with the 250th anniversary of American independence, giving residents an opportunity to view one of the nation’s founding documents. The document on display is one of 26 surviving copies of the historic Dunlap Broadside, printed in Philadelphia on July 4, 1776 by printer John Dunlap, to announce the Declaration of Independence to the colonies. The Maine Historical Society is the steward of this rare artifact and is bringing it to communities across the state as part of the statewide tour. “Hosting such an historic document here at the Brick Store Museum for all of York County to visit and engage with is a true honor and it highlights the meaningful relationships between the historical organizations in our state and the public that is served by them,” said Cynthia Walker, executive director of the Brick Store Museum. “It isn’t just a piece of paper—it’s the thing that

started it all, for all of us.” While many Americans are familiar with the words of the Declaration of Independence, seeing an original printing in person provides a direct connection to the nation’s history. The exhibition will include interpretive materials, including signage and videos exploring the Declaration’s history, as well as Maine’s role in the American Revolution and the founding of the United States. Public viewing hours are Thursday, July 30, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., with a special commemorative event at 5 p.m.; Friday, July 31, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; and Saturday, Aug. 1, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Additional programming will include a commemoration of the Declaration’s visit to York County on Thursday, July 30, at 5 p.m., as well as hands-on activities for children and families during the three-day viewing period. The visit coincides with the Brick Store Museum’s “From Many, One: Results of Revolution” exhibition, which continues through August. The York County stop is part of a statewide effort to mark the 250th anniversary of American independence through local programs and events. While admission to the viewing and events is free, an RSVP to view the Declaration is strongly encouraged. For more information and to reserve tickets, visit www. mainehistory.org/revolutionarymaine-doi-kennebunk or contact the Brick Store Museum at info@ brickstoremuseum.org or 207985-4802.

Association members go under the gavel in a single high-energy evening. The auction is one of the season’s defining fundraisers, with a portion of the proceeds directly supporting the association’s exhibitions and educational programs, as well as the upkeep of Barn Gallery itself. “Every bid placed at this auction is a vote of confidence in the Ogunquit Art Association’s artists and in the idea that a working art colony still belongs at the center of this beautiful place by the sea,” said Deidre O’Flaherty, president of the Ogunquit Arts Collaborative. “Seventy-two years in, it’s still an important evening that helps keep Barn Gallery’s doors open for the next generation of artists.” Doors open at 5:30 p.m., with registration and a cocktail reception running until 6:45 p.m., when the silent auction closes. The live auction begins at 7 p.m., led by auctioneer William J. Milliken, co-owner of Barridoff Galleries in South Portland and president of the Maine Auctioneers Association. Before the live auction, the public is invited to preview the full collection and may leave absentee bids during a four-day preview period: Wednesday, July 29 through Friday, July 31, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday, Aug. 1, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. A silent auction also will run during the preview days and will close before the live auction begins. Many participating artists, several with national and international reputations, have designed original, one-of-a-kind bid cards, which are available at the gallery for $30. A bid card includes admission, an auction catalog, and

Presentation Explores Georgia O’Keeffe’s Maine Connections YORK The York Public Library and Old York Historical Society invite the public to explore an often-overlooked chapter in the life of one of America’s most celebrated artists. “Georg ia O’Keef fe i n York, Maine, 1920-1928” will be presented by York resident and researcher Sylvia Missal at 11 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 1, at the York Public Library, 15 Long Sands Road. The presentation will highlight O’Keeffe’s years in York and offer insight into this lesser-known period of her artistic journey. Few realize how the town of York played a meaningful role in Georgia O’Keeffe’s artistic development. During summers spent at a seaside guest house on Long Sands Beach from 1920 to 1928, O’Keeffe drew inspiration from refreshments. Plain admissiononly bid cards are available for $20. This year’s auction event sponsor is CIRE Travel. Parking at Barn Gallery is limited. Attendees are encouraged to carpool or park at the Obed’s Lane lot behind the Dunaway Center, 23 School St., which is a short trolley ride or 10-minute walk from the gallery. Founded in 1928, the Ogunquit Art Association is Maine’s original artists’ group. Barn Gallery serves as the OAA’s exhibition space, connecting visitors with contemporary artists and continuing the tradition of the Ogunquit art colony.

the rugged Maine coastline. Her close study of seashells during these visits marked a significant turning point in her artistic journey and ref lected her lifelong pursuit of reducing nature to its essential forms. Missal’s research into O’Keeffe’s connection to York began after she came across a reference to the artist’s time along the Maine coast. “Several years ago, I noticed an article by the Boston Globe arts critic saying that in York Beach, you can walk on the same wet sand where Georgia O’Keeffe walked a hundred years ago. I was surprised and curious because I have been coming to York for many years, and I have never encountered any reference to O’Keeffe in connection with this place. I began to research and collect information which led me on a learning adventure about O’Keeffe’s time here and the art she created in York,” she said. Driven by her curiosity about O’Keeffe’s connection to York, Missal began researching the artist’s time spent in the area and reached out to Kaitlyn Fitzgerald, archivist for the Old York Historical Society. Coincidentally, just months earlier, the organization had been contacted by a researcher working on the National Historic Landmark designation for O’Keeffe’s New Mexico studios. Fitzgerald explained, “By combining clues from the National Historic Landmark designation research with photographs from Old York’s collections, we were able to identify O’Keeffe’s likely residence on Long Sands Beach. Sharing this information and historic photographs with Sylvia has helped her bring O’Keeffe’s years in York to life, demonstrating how collaboration and historic collections can reveal forgotten chapters of York’s past.” The event is free.

The weekend offers an opportunity to meet the growers and learn more about the people and places behind Maine’s official state berry. “Wild Blueberry Weekend is about celebrating what makes Maine special,” said Eric Venturini of the Wild Blueberry Commission of Maine. “It’s a joyful, hands-on way for folks to support local farms, explore the beauty of our unique, rugged landscape, and taste the wild difference for themselves.” According to the commission, Maine’s wild blueberry story spans thousands of years, beginning with the Wabanaki Nations, who were the first to

That legacy continues through today’s growers, who combine traditional methods with modern stewardship. Wild Blueberry Weekend gives visitors an opportunity to support local farms while celebrating a harvest unique to Maine. Once again, participating farms across the state will open for tours, raking demonstrations, fresh wild blueberries, handmade goods, and opportunities to meet the growers. The weekend also features pancake breakfasts, seasonal food and beverages, cooking demonstrations by Maine chefs, familyfriendly activities, and educational programs exploring the history and cultivation of the state’s wild blueberry barrens. The celebration extends beyond the farm gate, with restaurants, breweries, distilleries, and retailers across Maine offering limited-time wild blueberry menu items, beverages, and specialty products highlighting the state’s signature fruit. The Wild Blueberry Commission of Maine encourages visitors to explore the barrens, support Maine growers, and “taste the wild” during the annual weekend celebration.

WELLS T h e We l l s - O g u n q u i t Community School District (WOCSD) recently selected three “Exemplary Volunteers of the Year” for the 2025-26 school year. The award is presented each June during an annual volunteer luncheon held in the gymnasium at Wells Elementary School. “This is my favorite day of the year because I can see you all in one place,” said Community Resource Coordinator Maryanne Foley to the attendees. “We have had a great year of volunteering and are very fortunate to have so much community involvement in our District from parents and community members working on various classroom needs.” Foley typically recruits about 200 volunteers each year to assist in classrooms and other areas throughout the district, primarily at Wells Elementary School. Also in attendance was District Superintendent James Daly, who expressed his gratitude to the volunteers. Daly thanked

Foley for her work with the volunteer program. “We’re going to miss her,” said Daly about Foley, who retired in June after 32 years of service. Foley had managed the district’s volunteer program since 1994. T h i s yea r’s volu ntee r awards went to Barbara Maurer, Allison Goodwin, and Betsy Morales for their years of service. Morales, who has volunteered at Wells High School for four years, summed up her feelings about the honor with the comment, “I feel very humbled.” “Betsy has been a valuable member of our school extracurricular activities,” commented Wells High School Secretary Gail Moulton. “She is always the ‘behind the scenes’ person, helping with the Music Boosters, tending the gates at competitions, selling goods at the snack shack, and cooking and providing meals for band members before their competitions.” “It’s really sweet. I didn’t really expect it,” said a surprised Goodwin of the honor. Good-

win, who is also a school bus driver and whose own children attended school in the district, said she has volunteered at Wells Elementary School for 25 years and plans to continue. “I try to get in here as much as I can to help out…” she added. “Barbara Maurer has been an incredible volunteer, supporting and assisting students in the resource classroom with reading, writing and math,” said Wells Elementary teacher Taylor Lunt. “Students look up to her and truly enjoy the time they spend with her.” Lunt described Maurer as an “incredible volunteer…” Maurer has served on the WOCSD Curriculum Committee for 11 years. School volunteers contribute thousands of hours assisting teachers and students throughout the district. Volunteers include retired teachers and other community members, including high school students and parents. For more information, visit www.k12wocsd.net/en-us or call 207-646-5953.

PORTLAND Ronald McDonald House Maine has announced that tickets are on sale for its 26th Annual Ronald McDonald House Maine Gala, scheduled for Friday, Nov. 13, 2026. After selling out the event for the past two years and maintaining waitlists, organizers have moved this year’s gala to a larger venue at Brick South at Thompson’s Point in Portland. The annual fundraiser supports Ronald McDonald House Maine’s programs and services for families navigating pediatric medical and mental health care challenges. Ronald McDonald House Maine has partnered with Maine Communit y Bank, which will serve as the presenting sponsor of the organization’s annual gala, its largest fundraising event of the year. “ M a i ne C o m mu n it y Bank is honored to be the presenting sponsor of this year’s Ronald McDonald House Maine Gala. We’re proud to support an organization that provides comfort and stability to families during challenging times,” said Becky Winslow, director of community relations and foundation at Maine Community Bank. The gala will feature dinner, silent and live auctions, and live entertainment from Plush. The event will be emceed by WMTW Channel 8 anchors Meghan Torjussen and Jon Chrisos, with “Maine’s Funniest Mom,” Karen Morgan, serving as the live auctioneer. This year’s gala theme highlights Ronald McDonald House Maine’s “Family Stays” tagline, reflecting the organization’s mission of providing a home-away-from-home environment for families seeking pediatric medical care. “We are incredibly grate-

After two years hosting a sold-out event and ticket waitlists, we are very excited to move into a larger venue and have set a record-breaking fundraising goal of $300,000,” said Julie Mulkern, CEO of Ronald McDonald House Maine. Mulkern said funds raised through the event will remain in Maine to support programs that provide lodging, comfort, and resources for families traveling to access medical care for their children. For more than 40 years, Ronald McDonald House Maine has provided essential services through programs in Bangor and Portland that help remove barriers, strengthen families and support healing when children need medical care. In 2025, the organization welcomed 824 families who spent 7,067 nights with Ronald McDonald House Maine while their children received care.

Toy Libraries Reduce Waste on the Beach WELLS Visitors to Wells beaches may notice a unique addition: beach toy libraries. The shared toy boxes allow beachgoers to borrow toys for the day, donate gently used items, or leave behind toys they no longer need for other beachgoers to enjoy. The idea was proposed by resident Lucy Hardy and her friend Beth Goodwin after they noticed a surprising number of usable beach toys being discarded along area beaches. Last year, Hardy and Goodwin found a bag near a trash can containing several beach toys in excellent condition, some with tags still attached. After noticing similar situations more than once, Hardy began researching beach toy library programs in other coastal communities. With the Town of Wells Public Works Department involved, Hardy’s husband, David, built the boxes, and Hardy and Goodwin painted them before installation. The toy libraries have been well-received, with minimal damage or misuse reported so far. In addition to reducing waste, the toy boxes provide families with a convenient option if they forget beach toys at home or do not want to purchase new items during a short See BEACH on page 29...

Health & Fitness MaineHealth, UNE Dental, Expand Dental Program for Patients with Autism STATEWIDE The MaineHealth Glickman Lauder Center of Excellence in Autism and Developmental Disorders (MaineHealth GLCOE) has launched Bright Smiles and Healthy Futures, an oral care desensitization program designed to improve access to dental care for individuals with autism spectrum disorder and other neurodevelopmental disorders. Following a 13-week pilot program that concluded in May, the initiative will continue as an ongoing program with plans for future growth. Developed in partnership with the University of New England College of Dental ...BEACH from page 28 visit. “More than one person has contacted me to say the libraries saved the day from tears when beach toys were inadvertently left at home,” said Hardy. “Waste stream has been reduced. Number of trash bags needed has been reduced. Mother Earth is happier.” The toy libraries are available at five locations: Drakes Island Beach; Harbor Beach at Wells Harbor Park; Wells Beach, Atlantic Avenue and Casino Square; and Crescent Beach. The Town of Wells recognizes Lucy Hardy, David Hardy, and Beth Goodwin for their efforts to create a resource that encourages reuse, reduces waste, and enhances the beach experience for all.

Medicine, Bright Smiles and Healthy Futures helps patients become more comfortable with oral hygiene routines and dental visits while providing dental students with hands-on experience in inclusive care. The program uses individualized desensitization sessions in a specialized dental suite designed to resemble a clinical environment. Through gradual, step-by-step exposure, patients work toward greater tolerance of dental procedures, helping improve access to routine and preventive care. Individuals with autism spectrum disorder experience higher rates of dental disease, as sensory sensitivities, communication challenges, and limited access to providers trained in specialized care can make daily oral hygiene and routine dental visits more difficult. Bright Smiles and Healthy Futures addresses these barriers through care tailored to each patient’s needs. The pilot program demonstrated strong early success. All participating patients increased their ability to tolerate dental visits by an average of 67%. Cat h leen Smal l, Ph D, BCBA-D, director of outpatient behavioral services at MaineHealth GLCOE, has led the program since its launch. “Several participants went on to successfully complete traditional dental appointments following the pilot program, marking an important milestone and demonstrating outcomes that are possible through individualized, patient-centered care,” said Small. In addition to patient care, the program supports families by providing caregivers with coaching, practical strategies, and individualized dental support plans to help create successful experiences at GLCOE and in community dental settings.

The partnership also helps address a gap in dental education. UNE dental students rotate through the program to observe, participate in, and receive coaching on evidencebased approaches for caring for individuals with autism and developmental differences, preparing them to provide more inclusive care throughout their careers. Nicole S. Kimmes, D.D.S., dean of the University of New England College of Dental Medicine, said the partnership provides valuable learning opportunities for future dental professionals. “I am truly grateful for our partnership with the MaineHealth GLCOE team and for the meaningf ul interprofessional learning experiences it provides our students,” said Kimmes. “By strengthening students’ empathy, confidence, and understanding of individuals with special healthcare needs, this collaboration prepares them to expand access to compassionate, person-centered dental care in the communities they will serve.” As the program transitions from a successful pilot to a permanent initiative, GLCOE officials said they plan to explore opportunities to expand access to care for more patients across Maine and beyond.
