The event takes place at 9 a.m. Saturday, June 27, at USS Thresher Memorial Park, 200 Rogers Rd., beside Kittery Town Hall. For the past few years, Gen. William Whipple, the only known Maine native to have signed the Declaration of Independence, has returned to his hometown of Kittery for an annual public reading of the document. Gen. William Whipple was a merchant sea captain who went on to serve as a militia general and as a member of the Second Continental Congress during the Revolutionary War. The exploits that brought Whipple his greatest fame occurred after he settled across the Piscataqua River in Portsmouth,

NH. During many of those moments, his enslaved manservant, Prince, was at his side. In 1779, Prince was one of 20 enslaved African men who penned a Petition for Freedom submitted to the New Hampshire State Legislature. Lawmakers tabled the request without further action. It was later published in a local newspaper in 1780 for the “amusement” of

readers. However, the eloquently framed petition—filled with poetry and passion—ref lected the desire for independence shared by the Founding Fathers who produced the Declaration of Independence. Stated simply, the men who were enslaved demanded to know on what grounds they had been subjected to involuntary servitude. Prince is generally believed

to be not only a signer of the petition but also one of its authors, if not the primary author. He traveled with the general to Philadelphia in 1776 when the Declaration of Independence was created and, as a result, was familiar with its language and ideas. The African-born man also accompanied the general on military campaigns during the pivotal Battle of Saratoga in 1777 and the less successful Rhode Island expedition in 1778. Whipple eventually freed Prince in 1795, one year before the emancipated slave’s death. The ceremony, known as “Whipple’s Reading,” now carries added significance, with Whipple reading from the Declaration of Independence, along See INDEP on page 2...

Heart to Heart Ends Ride Service with Celebration

YORK Heart to Heart will conclude its transportation services for older adults July 15 after five years of serving residents in southern York County and the Seacoast region. The organization’s board of directors announced the closure while also inviting supporters, volunteers, riders, and community members to a celebration from

4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Thursday, June 25 at Foster’s Clambakes and Catering, 5 Axholme Rd., York. Founded in 2020, Heart to Heart has provided rides for older adults traveling to medical appointments, grocery stores, pharmacies, and other personal destinations. The volunteer-driven organization relied on community support and donations to sustain

its services. “Our service to the community appears to have been successful,” the board said in a statement. “Our wonderful volunteers have generously contributed their hearts and resources. Riders and community members have generously donated.” Jud Knox, founder and director of Heart to Heart, said the decision to end services was influenced by personal and family commitments. “I love what we’ve done, but my refocus on family is long overdue,” Knox said. He hopes the organization’s work will continue to inspire community. For more information, visit www.hearttoheartagelesslove.org or call Foster’s at 207-363-3255.

Juneteenth Walking Tour at OYHS YORK The Old York Historical Society invites the public to a special Juneteenth walking tour on Friday, June 19 at 1 p.m. The tour begins promptly at the Old York Museum Center, 3 Lindsay Road. Although the Emancipation Proclamation freed enslaved people in 1863, it was not implemented in the far western parts of the Confederacy. On June 19, 1865, Union troops entered Galveston, TX, to announce the end of slavery. People who were enslaved lived in the town of York and throughout York County as early as the mid-17th century. Learn about these individuals and their descendants, both free

and enslaved, who lived in York during this period, the primary sources that shed light on their lives, and their treatment in the legal system and at the Old Gaol. Parking is available along Lindsay Road and in Old York’s parking lot. Organizers ask that attendees arrive no later than five minutes prior to the start time. The tour lasts approximately one hour and covers a two-block area along York Street. The terrain is uneven, and comfortable shoes are recommended. The tour is free to attend. Registration is appreciated, not required. For more information, email programs@oldyork.org or call 207-363-4974.

at the Kittery Historical and Naval Museum, where refreshments will be available. The celebration is funded this year by the Shipyard’s Naval Civilian Managers Association as well as local residents Desiree Barris of Hoppi’s Barber Shop.

Catholic Pilgrimage to Visit Maine STATEWIDE A national Catholic pilgrimage that began Monday, May 24, in St. Augustine, FL., and will end July 5 in Philadelphia, PA, will be in Maine June 23-26. During this leg of the National Eucharistic Pilgrimage, the Diocese of Portland has planned events in Kennebunk, Brunswick, Lewiston, Portland—including a ferry trip to Peaks Island—and York. These public events include Masses, Eucharistic processions, talks, fellowship meals, and more. A Eucharistic procession is a traditional Catholic practice in which the Eucharist—consecrated bread and wine, the body and blood of Christ—is carried through the streets in a vessel called a monstrance, typically by a priest. Hundreds are expected to join the larger processions in Portland on June 25. This includes a group of eight “perpetual pilgrims” who are traveling the entire route from St. Augustine to Philadelphia. Area highlights include a

5 p.m. opening Mass Tuesday, June 23, with Bishop James Ruggieri at St. Martha’s Church, 30 Portland Rd., Kennebunk. The procession continues Wednesday, June 24, in Brunswick and Lewiston, with events taking place from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. On Thursday, June 25, the pilgrimage continues in Portland and on Peaks Island, with the procession beginning at St. Peter Church, 72 Federal St., and continuing to Sacred Heart/St. Dominic, 65 Mellen St., at 9 a.m., followed by events throughout Portland and on Peaks Island. A cookout at St. Christopher Church is scheduled from 5 to 7 p.m. On Friday, June 26, a 10 a.m. a closing Mass with Bishop Ruggieri will be held at St. Christopher Church, 4 Barrell Ln., York. For more information and a complete schedule, contact Molly DiLorenzo, Director of Communications, Roman Catholic Diocese of Portland at molly. dilorenzo@portlanddiocese.org or 207-321-7810.

Another Chance Animal Rescue SANFORD Another Chance Animal Rescue has a handsome, kind, gentlemanly cat named Nicki available for adoption. Nicki came from a home where his owner fell ill and was suddenly unable to care for him properly. Nicki was neglected for a time, without much attention or affection, before his owner decided to surrender him. He has been with ACAR for just a few weeks, and everyone there adores him. Nicki is very friendly and loves to greet ACAR volunteers and visitors. He is a relaxed cat who seems to want to be loved and included in the daily happenings and activities of a home setting. If this sweet boy sounds like a gem, well, he is! Please reach out to Paula at 978-250-1560 to set up a meet-and-greet.

Sa fe Have n’s $18,0 0 0 Matching Gift Fundraiser for Critical Cat Care has been a success. $36,000 was raised to help the shelter provide urgent medical care for cats in dire need. Thank you! Safe Haven’s vintage and thrift shop is open seven days a week, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Donations are accepted on Saturdays from noon to 3 p.m., weather permitting. Safe Haven needs a few strong volunteers on Saturdays from noon to 3 p.m. to carry donations up to the third floor of the barn for inspection, sorting, and pricing. This is a good workout and a huge help to our older volunteers. Thank you!

Animal Welfare Society KENNEBUNK Since the World Cup has everyone buzzing this summer, now’s the perfect moment to make my move and say “Hello!” I’m Coco, and I’m always ready to play. I’m an active, goofy girl who loves soccer, the outdoors, and spending time with my people. Whether we’re kicking a ball around the yard or relaxing on the couch after the big match, I’m ready to be your biggest fan. Now, all I need is a teammate to call my own.

sultant Ali Kane shares stories from the 1600s to the 1960s. Presented in partnership with the Joshua Hyde Library in Sturbridge, MA. Contact the library for the Zoom link.

Every good match needs snacks, a comfy couch, and the right company. I think I’d make a pretty great addition to your World Cup watch party. After a day of playing outside or kicking around a soccer ball, I’m happy to settle in and hang out with my people. I’m crate trained, house trained, and always ready for downtime after the action. Whether we’re celebrating a big win or just enjoying the game together, I’m happy to be part of the team! Just like in soccer, finding the right fit matters. I can be selective with other dogs and would do best in a home without cats or small pets. I’m just a star player who doesn’t like to share much of the spotlight, what can I say? Because of my energy and personality, I’m looking for a family who understands me and can help me keep thriving. When

I find my team, I know I’ll bring loyalty, laughs, and lots of love to the game. If you or someone you know is interested in adding me, Coco, to your team, stop by the Adoption Center or give my friends at AWS a call—and ask for me!

“Making Water Better!”

VOLUNTEERS & DONATIONS NEEDED

Emma’s Angels NORTH BERWICK Sweet Cooper is looking for the perfect home. Cooper is a 10-year-old senior looking for a pet parent who works from home or is retired. You would never know he was a senior by his never-ending energy. Cooper would be a wonderful walking and hiking buddy. He does need to know someone is there for him at all times. Cooper can be bit of an escape artist, so maybe a Halo collar or an invisible fence would help. Cooper is neutered and upto-date on his vaccinations. He is also microchipped. He’s great with other dogs and does okay with cats. If you would like to meet this adorable frosty faced boy, call Emma’s Angels today. Emma’s Angels Rescue is a foster-based volunteer organization. If you need help feeding your pets, please reach out— Emma’s Angels can help.

Carolyn F. (Black) Conley, 91 YORK HARBOR – Carolyn Conley, beloved wife, sister, mother, grandmother, greatgrandmother, and friend, passed away on May 30, 2026, surrounded by the love of her family. She leaves behind a legacy of kindness, strength, generosity, integrity, and unwavering care for others. Born in Portland, ME, she was the daughter of Thomas F. and Helena I. (Bellefontaine) Black. Carolyn attended Portland schools and graduated from the Cathedral High School in 1953. Carolyn met the love of her life, Bill, and they married in 1958. Together they raised a family and a life filled with love in South Portland. She began her career with Ma Bell and later stepped away from work to devote herself to raising her six children. Once her children were grown, she returned to work and eventually retired from Verizon, where she was respected for her dedication and professionalism. Carolyn was a woman of remarkable character: wise, gentle, elegant, and quick-witted, with a wonderful sense of humor that brought joy to those around her. She loved fashion and always carried herself with grace and style. Even in her final moments, her thoughts were focused on the well-being of others, a reflection of the selfless spirit that defined her life. For the last five years, Carolyn was a cherished member of her assisted living community at Sentry Hill in York Harbor, where she formed deep friendships and was loved by residents and staff alike. She, in turn, cared deeply for the community that became her extended family.

Family was the center of Carolyn’s world. She was a proud mother, grandmother, and greatgrandmother. Her love, guidance, and support shaped generations and will continue to be felt for years to come. Carolyn was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Bill, her younger brother, Tom, parents Thomas and Helena, and many other family members and dear friends whom she loved and missed. We find comfort in imagining the joyful reunion that awaited her, knowing that Bill was there to welcome her home. She is survived by her older brother, Richard (Dick); six children: Stacey, Sandy, Lynn, Bill, Catherine and Jennifer; and her nineteen grandchildren and thirteen great-grandchildren. Though our hearts are heavy with loss, we celebrate a life beautifully lived. Carolyn’s kindness, strength, laughter, elegance, and love will remain forever in the hearts of all who knew her. She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered always. A joint service to celebrate the lives of Carolyn and Bill will be at a future date.

Service for Betty J. Hasty Join us to honor and celebrate the beautif ul life of our mother, Betty J. Hasty (Lapointe, Burby) who passed on January 26, 2026.

YORK – Martin D. Meyers was born September 30, 1943, in Boston, MA. He lived a full and meaningful life until he passed away peacefully at home May 26, 2026. Martin was a devoted hus-

band to Deborah Meyers November, the love of his life since 1966. Their long-lasting marriage was a central part of his life. He was also a caring father to his son, Kenneth Meyers, and stepfather to Vett Thompson. Martin’s family extended further to include his sister, Beverly Rosen; his brother, Steven Meyers; as well as many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, and nephews. He was deeply saddened by the loss of his daughter, Theresa Meyers, who passed away in September 1995. Bor n to pa re nt s Bu r t Meyers and Miriam Alpert Meyers, Martin held family close to his heart throughout his life. Among his proudest accomplishments was his participation in the Dull Men’s Club at the Portsmouth Senior Center. This group was a special part of his later years and brought him joy and companionship. Those who wish to honor Martin’s memory may consider making a memorial contribution to The Center for Active Living in York, or to The Portsmouth Senior Center in Portsmouth, NH. Martin will be remembered for his quiet strength, his dedication to family, and the warmth he shared with those around him. His presence will be missed, but his memory lives on in the hearts of his loved ones.

Memory Care Leader Wendy Bucacci Recognized in Senior Housing Awards WELLS Avita of Wells, a Northbridge memory care community offering assisted living with a specialization in memory care, is proud to announce that Memory Care Program Director Wendy Bucacci has been named to the Senior Housing News Memory Care Innovation Awards Class of 2026. The award recognizes leaders who are advancing innovative approaches to cognitive care. Each honoree brings a unique and creative vision to their work, while sharing a common goal: to deliver high-quality care, improve outcomes for individuals living with memory-related disorders, and support the families and caregivers who walk alongside them. Bucacci’s journey at Avita of Wells began before the organization opened its doors. She joined the team while the building was still under construction and started as a lead concierge, where she discovered her interest in memory care—a passion that has since grown into the leadership role she holds today. She is

now a steady presence and guiding force within the community. One of Bucacci’s greatest strengths is her ability to make memory care approachable and engaging. She is a trusted leader in dementia education, providing training across multiple communities within Northbridge Companies, the parent company that oversees Avita of Wells. Beyond the organization, Bucacci extends her impact throughout the greater Southern Maine community, offering educational programs that raise awareness across generations and professions, from students to first responders. Bucacci has a unique ability to demystify dementia care, helping both families and the

broader community understand that meaningful, joyful experiences are still possible. She brings this philosophy to life through the creativity and energy she shares with residents, as well as through lighthearted moments on social media that showcase the joy found in memory care. A passionate advocate and educator, Bucacci also played a key role in developing Join My Journey, Northbridge’s virtual dementia experience designed to help participants see, hear, and feel what it may be like to live with dementia. Through this and other initiatives, she has educated associates, families, local first responders, and the public. Avita of Wells Executive Director Dean Kivela shared, “Throughout her time at Avita, Wendy has created a program that is second to none. Her development of multigenerational programming has allowed our residents to build meaningful bonds with local school communities that extend far beyond the programs themselves. She takes the time to truly know each resident, creating an environment that is interactive, comfortable, and full of joy.” The staff at Avita of Wells are honored to recognize Bucacci for her outstanding contributions and the exceptional memory care program she continues to cultivate.

The Landing School of Boatbuilding and Design Announces Closing

ARUNDEL When The Landing School of Boatbui ldi ng & Desig n opened its doors in 1978, it was built on a singular mission: to prepare skilled boatbuilders, designers and technicians for meaningful careers in the marine industry. For nearly five decades, that mission guided the school’s work, from the curricula it developed to the hands-on, immersive education that became its hallmark. Generations of students passed through its doors and left as craftspeople, professionals and lifelong contributors to the marine trades. The school recently announced it will close at some point in 2026. For nearly five decades, The Landing School evolved alongside the marine industry, adapting programs, incorporating new technologies, and refining its approach to hands-on education. The school cited enrollment decline as the primary reason for closure. Like many small, specialized institutions,

KITTERY On Thursday, May 14, Rice Public Library’s architectural team Simons Architects received the People’s Choice Award at the AIA Maine Design Awards ceremony. Maine’s chapter of the American Institute of Architects holds an annual awards night and highlights architectural designs from all over the state. This year, voters who attended the gala viewed over 50 projects and voted Rice Public Library’s design the winner of the Excellence in Architecture People’s Choice Award. Founder Scott Simons and his team worked with numerous others to propel the library toward the expansion that opened in June 2022. Upon the news of their award, the firm quickly took to social media to thank everyone who had participated in the process of the li-

brary’s design, refinement, and construction. Partners on the project included Lassel Architects, whose CEO Michael Lassel had been among the earliest champions of expanding the library in its existing site. Other thanks and praise went out to Scattergood Design, Thornton Tomasetti, Ripcord Engineering, the staff at Rice Public Library, and Wright-Ryan Construction, who managed the completion of the project despite the strain of building during a pandemic. “Projects like this,” Simons Architects concluded, “remind us how impactful thoughtful civic spaces can be.” Thursday, June 4, 2026 will mark four years since the project was completed and the library reopened in its newly expanded space.

Despite strategic planning and program adjustments by the board of trustees, faculty and staff, the enrollment shortfall created financial pressures that made continued operations unsustainable. Broader forces reshaping higher education—including rising costs, shifting workforce trends, and changing perceptions of higher education— have affected small, missiondriven schools like The Landing School. Faculty and staff did not make this decision quickly or lightly. In a closing address to Landing School staff, faculty and alumni, President Dr. John V. Caron said the school’s legacy will endure. He said the school lives on in every graduate who carried their skills to a boatyard, design studio or workshop. It lives on in the vessels built, the careers launched and the communities strengthened by the marine professionals it helped shape. Nearly five decades of craftsmanship and training do not disappear; they endure in the work of those it educated. The school is currently working through a formal closure timeline. It will continue to share updates directly with students, families, faculty, staff, alumni, marine industry partners, and community partners as additional information becomes available. IYRS School of Technology & Trades in Newport, RI, expressed support for students, applicants, and families impacted by the closure of The Landing School of Boatbuilding & Design, offering guidance, continuity, and an educational pathway for those seeking to continue training and careers in the marine trades. The nonprofit postsecondar y experiential learning institution describes itself as a leading marine trades and modern manufacturing school in the United States.

YORK A staging of “The HalfWritten Play” will take place Wednesday, June 24, from 6 to 8 p.m. at York Land Trust, 1 Long Neck Marsh Rd., York. The program explores how communities can collaborate to support local climate change mitigation efforts. The play, an interactive theater project conceived and directed by David Kaye of the University of New Hampshire’s PowerPLAY applied theater company, uses live performance to engage the public in addressing complex civic and environmental challenges unique to their area.

The first half of the play follows a scripted story about a community facing a divisive issue, such as coastal flooding, before actors step out of character mid-performance and work with the audience to develop solutions that shape the story’s outcome. The project is part of an international initiative spanning Canada, Germany, and the United Kingdom. The event is free and open to public. Registration is required to attend.

~ Arts & Entertainment ~ Kennebunk Amateur Radio Hosts ‘Field Day’ Demo KENNEBUNK The New England Radio Discussion Society will demonstrate emergency communications during the national Amateur Radio Field Day exercise June 27-28 behind Sea Road Church, 140 Sea Rd., Kennebunk. Visitors are invited onto the ballfield from 2 to 6 p.m. Saturday and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday. Operators will demonstrate communication methods using voice, Morse code, and digital modes. Every June, more than 31,000 radio amateurs, or “hams,” throughout North America set up temporary transmitting stations in public places to demonstrate ham radio’s science, skill, and

service to communities and the nation. The event combines public service, emergency preparedness, community outreach, and technical skills in a single event. “Radio amateurs have a long history of serving our communities when storms or other disasters damage critical communication infrastructure, including cell towers,” said Susan A. Bloomfield, WB2UQP. “Ham radio functions completely independently of the internet and phone systems and a station can be set up almost anywhere in minutes. Licensed hams can quickly raise a wire antenna in a tree or on a mast, connect it to a radio and power source, and commu-

nicate effectively with others,” she added.

Visitors will have a chance to meet and talk with local ham radio operators and see for themselves what amateur radio

is all about. For more information, email owlet18@gmail.com or call 207985-2144.

~ Arts & Entertainment ~ Local Authors’ New Book Uncovers a 100-Year-Old Secret YORK COUNTY Two New England co-authors have announced the third book in their “Haunted Of” paranormal series, titled “Haunting of Wilson Castle,” published June 1. The series investigates accounts of reportedly haunted locations, along with their historical background and photographs. “Hau nt i ng of Wi l son Castle” follows a paranormal investigation at Wilson Castle, a mid-19th century historic estate in Proctor, VT, near the Green Mountains, where the team says it uncovered a century-old secret relationship. The property has been home to several families over the years and is widely reported by paranormal investigators and visitors to be haunted, with some claiming encounters with what they describe as earthbound spirits. Maine author, pet medium, and paranormal investigator Rob Gutro teamed up with Monique Toosoon, a New England paranormal performer and “para-technology” practitioner based in New Hampshire, for a five-hour public investigation at Wilson Castle. They were joined by medium Lexi Duquette and The Digital Séance Experience to explore the site. According to the authors, the team uncovered a family secret, a man with a troubled past, and a child seeking answers, among other reported paranormal phenomena. The investiga-

tion was conducted as research for their new book. “We had amazing communications with Elliot and Sarah’s ghosts and might’ve even uncovered a secret castle love affair,” Toosoon said. “But things took a darker turn after midnight when an ominous male presence made himself known.” The investigation was initiated after an idea by Toosoon, which was discussed with Wilson Castle owner and operator Denise Davine, who approved the event. “Learning the personal emotional stories of the ghosts we encountered and assembling the pieces together with mediums and technology was amazing,” said Gutro. The co-authors will host a book event, “Haunting of Wilson Castle: An Evening of History, Spirits and Exclusive Investigation” on Saturday, June 27. Tickets are available at www.moniquetoosoon.com. “Hau nt i ng of Wi l son Castle” is available on Amazon. For more information, visit https://tinyurl.com/Haunting OfWilsonCastle.

‘Shared Spaces’ Artist Talk at Haley Art Gallery KITTERY Haley Art Gallery will host its second Shared Spaces Artists’ Gallery Talk on Saturday, June 27, at 1 p.m., featuring Sheridan Cudworth and Sharon Oakes (for Bill Oakes). “I feel called to tell the story of the form meeting the fire. I arrange my vessels within the context of a firing landscape, allowing the vapors of the unique environment to trap themselves in the open pores of the pot through the fire, as if I am asking the soul of the flame to enter the open pores of the clay body. Firing directly into the ground becomes a ritual process. I create the container and the atmosphere for it to transform, often using my hair, food scraps, old letters, journals, herbs, and flowers I have grown and dried,” said Cudworth. Cudworth has created a large body of pit-fired work that will serve as narrative forms to reinterpret her performative nature. Oakes’ printer’s ink paintings are part of Haley Art Gallery’s current exhibit and reflect the work of a celebrated artist, illustrator, art educator, inventor, children’s book author, publisher and community activist. A courtroom artist for the Watergate hearings, Oakes’ illustrations appeared in The Franklin Library, Time, National Geographic,

Reader’s Digest, Yankee Magazine, The Washington Post, The Christian Science Monitor, and on ABC and CBS News. He held a Master’s degree in critical and creative thinking from the University of Massachusetts Boston, where he also taught creativity courses. Oakes died in October 2005. “Shared Spaces” kicks off Haley Art Gallery’s 21st season and features work by Paul Burke, Sheridan Cudworth, Barbara

D’Antonio, Jozimar Matimano, Bill Oakes, and Carlos Vega. The exhibit remains on view through August. For more information, visit www.haleyartgallery.com or call 617-584-2580.

combined with textured grounds and specialized surfaces. She has also begun working in oils on copper panels. Much of her work is created en plein air or based on sketches and observations made in nature. Her goal is to create simple but expressive paintings that capture a moment in time and evoke an emotional response.

Buster Keaton Tears It Up in ‘Three Ages’ OGUNQUIT He never smiled on camera, earning him the nickname of “the Great Stone Face.” But Buster Keaton’s comedies rocked Hollywood’s silent era with laughter. A screening of ‘Three Ages’ (1923) one of Keaton’s timeless comedies, takes place Friday, June 19 at 6:30 p.m. at the Leavitt Theatre, 259 Main St., Ogunquit. The screening, part of Leavitt’s Silent Film Series, features live accompaniment by Jeff Rapsis, a New Hampshire-based composer who specializes in scoring silent films. The theater is celebrating its 101st anniversary, Our Services: having served the community since 1925. “Three Ages” (1923) is a silent comedy that weaves together parallel love stories set in the Stone Age, Roman times, and the 1920s, in a parody of the epic drama “Intolerance” (1916). Keaton’s first feature-length film, it showcases his trademark physical comedy across elaborate set pieces, including a caveman-era romance, a Roman chariot se-

quence, and a modern-era chase. Initially conceived as three separate shorts if the film failed commercially, “Three Ages” became a hit and launched Keaton’s run of classic feature comedies before the industry’s transition to sound films in 1929. Known for his deadpan style and inventive stunts, Keaton helped expand cinematic comedy on a large scale. The screening offers audiences the opportunity to experience silent film as intended, on the big screen with a restored print, live music and a shared audience experience. “If you can put pieces of the experience back together again, it’s surprising how these films snap back to life,” Rapsis said. “By showing the films under the right conditions, you can really get a sense of why people first fell in love with the movies.” General admission is $18 per person.

THE LEARNING PLACE 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.

~ News ~ Submarine Squadron TWO Holds Change of Command

...BLOCK from page 1 Bike parking is available on Government Street at Second Christian Church of Kittery. A second location is on Wentworth Street across from Rice Public Library, in front of the petting zoo. Look for the signs. In preparation for the Block Party, the municipal parking lot in the Foreside next to Lil’s Café will be closed starting at midnight Thursday, June 18. On Saturday, between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m., roads will be posted with orange cones and “No Parking” signs in designated areas. “No Parking” areas include Main Street, Otis Avenue, Jones Avenue, Dame Street, Central Avenue, Pine Street, Love Lane, Government Street, Walker Street and Wentworth Street. Any vehicles parked in these areas will be towed at the owner’s expense. In addition, certain areas will be closed to vehicle and bicycle traffic. The Kittery Block Party would not be possible without the generous support of its sponsors. To view the complete list, visit the website below. Last year’s party drew strong support and brought to-

PORTSMOUTH, NH Commander, Submarine Squadron TWO (CSS 2), conducted a change-of-command ceremony at the shipyard Friday, May 29, during which Capt. Michael Poplawski relieved Capt. Jason Deichler as commodore of CSS 2. “Partnering the skilled professionalism of the ships’ commanding officers and their crews with the expertise of the shipyard gether local artists, artisans, farmers, and nonprofit organizations from across the state. The event showcased the culture and creative spirit of the Kittery community, fostering connections and strengthening bonds among residents. Year after year, organizers build on the success of previous events to create an even more memorable experience. The Kittery Block Party is a rain-or-shine event, ensuring the festive atmosphere continues regardless of weather. For more information, visit www.kitteryblockparty.org or email kitteryblockparty@gmail. com.

workers, I hand over this command with full confidence,” Deichler said. Since Deichler took command July 12, 2024, CSS 2 delivered USS Texas (SSN 775) ahead of schedule, allowing sailors to be home for the 2024 holidays. USS Cheyenne (SSN 773) completed the first-of-its-class engineered refueling overhaul and returned to the fleet. The undocking of USS North Dakota (SSN 784) in February 2026 marked progress in supporting the Navy’s focus on combat-ready platforms and operational availability. Commander, Submarine Forces, Vice Adm. Rick Seif was the presiding officer and keynote speaker. “Your time at Submarine Squadron TWO has been an overwhelming success,” said Seif. “You have mentored our future leaders and trained our battle-ready Sailors, and have pushed the boundaries of innovation.” Deichler’s next duty assignment is chief of staff to Director, Submarine Programs Vice Adm. Robert Gaucher at the Washington Navy Yard. He will oversee

non-nuclear construction of Virginia- and Columbia-class submarines and work with the maritime industrial base. Poplawski, a native of Austin, Texas, is a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy. He assumes command of CSS 2 after serving on the Joint Staff as deputy director for regional operations and global force management and as division chief for the Joint Operations Division, U.S. Indo-Pacific Command. “I’m excited to join the superb team at Submarine Squadron TWO, in partnership with the extraordinary talent of our submarine crews and Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, to de-

liver modern, lethal, and ready combat power back to the fleet,” said Poplawski. Submarine Squadron TWO was first established in New London, Connecticut, in the late 1930s. In 1941, CSS 2 was reassigned to the Pacific Fleet, where it operated during World War II. Following the war, the squadron was re-established in New London. Among its most notable vessels were USS Nautilus (SSN 571), the Navy’s first nuclearpowered submarine, and NR-1, the Navy’s only nuclear-powered deep submersible research vessel.

All About Menopause at KFL KENNEBUNK About half of the world’s population will experience menopause, yet the topic is rarely discussed. The Kennebunk Free Library will host a discussion on menopause with nurse practitioner Harpswell Coffin on Tuesday, June 23, at 6 p.m. Participants will learn what to expect during menopause, what is considered normal, and have an opportunity to ask questions,

and share their experiences. The event offers an evening of information, discussion, questions, answers and shared experiences aimed at dispelling myths and misconceptions about menopause. Coffin is a local nurse practitioner who has worked at Kennebunk Primary Care for the past six years. When she is not working, she enjoys walking on the beach or along the Eastern Trail. She also enjoys cooking,

EPA Announces PFAS Strategy, Nearly $1B in Drinking Water Funding BOSTON The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recently announced a broad strategy to address per- and polyf luoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, including nearly $1 billion in new funding for drinking water projects and two proposed rules aimed at strengthening federal drinking water standards. The announcement came during a PFAS destruction event attended by U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The strategy focuses on reducing PFAS contamination throughout its lifecycle, from industrial discharge to drinking water treatment and disposal. PFAS are a group of syn-

gardening and traveling whenever she has the opportunity. Coffin lives in Arundel with her husband, two daughters, three cats, and two guinea pigs. The program is free and wheelchair accessible. The Kennebunk Free Library is located at 112 Main St., Kennebunk. For more information, email kf l@kennebunklibrary.org or call call 207-985-2173.

thetic chemicals linked to health concerns and commonly referred to as “forever chemicals” because they break down slowly in the environment. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin said the agency’s approach is intended to withstand legal challenges and be supported by scientific research. “The EPA is committed to ‘Make America Healthy Again’ by ensuring clean air, land, and water—and by taking on PFAS the right way, across the full lifecycle and built to last,” Zeldin said. “That means rules grounded in science and the Safe Drinking Water Act, support for water systems on the front lines, and action to stop PFAS pollution at the source.” The administration is expanding research into the health effects of PFAS exposure. “PFAS contamination is a serious public health challenge that demands rigorous science, clear standards, and practical solutions,” Kennedy said. “Across HHS, we are advancing research to better understand PFAS exposure, toxicity, and long-term health impacts on Americans.” The EPA said the nearly $1 billion in grants will be distributed through the Emerging Contaminants in Small or Disadvantaged Communities Grant program, bringing total funding under the initiative to $5 billion over five years. One proposed rule would maintain existing federal drinking water standards for two PFAS chemicals that have been extensively studied—perf luorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS)—while allowing some water systems up to two additional years, until 2031, to meet compliance requirements. Under t he proposa l, systems seeking additional time would need to apply and meet criteria established by the EPA. Systems that do not apply would remain subject to the current 2029 compliance deadline. The extension would give utilities additional time for testSee PFAS on page 29...

Sealander Sailing Academy Expands Access to Big-Boat Sailing SEACOAST Sealander Sailing Academy, a new Seacoast-based sailing program founded by Bill and Shelagh Starr of Dover, NH, has launched with a goal of training 1,000 sailors to serve as safe, capable crew on large boats. The academy was created to address a persistent gap in the sport. While many young sailors gain experience through camps and school teams, far fewer have a clear path into larger keelboats and offshore race programs that depend on trained crew. Sealander aims to bridge that divide by giving emerging sailors the skills, confidence, and access they need to step aboard and compete safely. “Student sailors get through our youth sailing camps and school programs, then hit the obstacle of not knowing how to access the next step in their progression—to race on bigger boats,” said Bill Starr. “Even if they could, unless they grew up sailing with family, they rarely have learned the skill required to be safe, effective crew on the bigger boats.” Bill Starr, who has raced in four countries and competed in more than a dozen blue-water races, including four Marbleheadto-Halifax races, two Sydney to Hobart races, Newport to Bermuda, and Newport to Ensenada, has seen sailing function as a more community-based sport outside the United States. In the United States, the sport is often misunderstood as exclusive or inaccessible. “In reality, every race boat needs committed, well-trained people aboard,” Starr said. “People who want to learn just need a clear way in, and that is the pipeline Sealander is building.” Sealander Sailing Academy is designed to help sailors progress from youth programs and schoolbased sailing into the wider world of competitive racing, from local around-the-buoys competition to major offshore events such as the Marblehead-to-Halifax Ocean Race. The academy also aims to connect that progression to broader competitive sailing, including elite international events such as SailGP. “I grew up on the seacoast, and I never saw sailing as an option,” Shelagh Starr said. “I didn’t learn to sail until I moved to Marblehead as an adult and made a friend who brought me along. I want to open this oppor-

Being in open water changes your perspective forever, it makes you feel like you can do anything. That’s what I want for our Sealanders.” In its first year, the academy is operating through scholarships funded by corporate sponsors including Boston law firm Gesmer Updegrove, Christopher Ward Watches, and sailing brand Spinlock. Sealander expects to accommodate up to 100 student sailors this season, and scholarships remain available. I n s t r u c t io n w i l l r u n throughout the summer, with a focus on seamanship, onboard safety, race preparation, and the practical skills needed to contribute as dependable crew on larger boats. Sealander introduced four sailors ages 14 to 24 to their first marquee race during Figawi, the annual pursuit race from Hyannis to Nantucket, MA, on Saturday, May 23. Bill Starr took the helm of More Cowbell, a Beneteau First 40.7, carrying a crew of 10 south. Beyond its instructional programs, Sealander runs the Regatta for Entrepreneurship, an annual Boston Harbor invitational launched in 2016. The event, taking place July 22, brings together approximately 170 people from regional growth companies for a day of networking and racing. Modeled on classic America’s Cup-style match racing, the regatta features two Sealander yachts competing for the Founder’s Cup. Each boat sails with a core crew of four and six sponsor guests aboard, in a competitive Team USA vs. Team UK format. “The Sealanders we teach today will be the leaders making market decisions for our future. We create an environment onboard that safely tests their courage and problem-solving, so they develop the growth mind-set they will need. These students are

JUNE 10 RECAP Four two-man teams shine in inaugural Pinehurst Tournament. Nautical Charts remain unbeaten after first round of dual contests. Fifty-two Seacoast golfers, including six first-timers, paired up and competed in Seacoast Golf’s inaugural Pinehurst Tournament at Cape Neddick Country Club on Wednesday, June 10. Ray Pape teamed with Nick Audet to win the McClary Flight (team handicaps 5-16) after posting the day’s low score of 7-under par. Jeff Goodman and David Lynch finished second, one stroke back. Two teams tied for third at 5-under par: Michael Gauthier and David Yarian, and Michael Martel and Mark Radwan. Three teams tied for first in

the Foster Flight (playing handicaps 17-26) at 5-under par: Joe D’Isidoro and Mike McNeice; David Harvey and Al Toby; and Rick Clark and Steve Williams. Goodman and Lynch led the undefeated Nautical Charts Franchise Team to a victory over two-time league champions Trade Winds. The four Charts pairs averaged 3.75 strokes under par, while the Winds’ six pairs averaged even par. In the other dual match, the Rip Tides (average 2-under par) earned their second straight win with a narrow victory over the Ocean Currents (1-under par). The next Seacoast Golf event will be held Wednesday, June 24, at Sanford Country Club. A full field of 16 foursomes is expected to compete in a “1 on the 5s, 2 on the 4s, 3 on the 3s” Best Stableford Balls tournament, with a bonus individual Stableford game and optional gross and net skins.

Individually, the two leagueleading partners posted the two best net scores in the 34-player field. Leon Weaver led all golfers with a net score of 5-under par. His partner, Tim Hevey, tied for second along with Dave DiBona at 1-under par. Three golfers— Jed Lowry, Vic Finnemore and David Brother—tied for fourth at even par.

Marshwood Hawks Baseball GORHAM No. 12 Marshwood battled to the end but fell 3-2 to No. 5 Scarborough on a walk-off in the seventh inning in the Class A preliminary round playoffs Thursday, June 9 at the University of Southern Maine–Gorham campus at Ed Flaherty Field. The Hawks dropped a 3-2 decision after Scarborough scored the winning run in its final at-bat. Highlights included a strong pitching performance from junior Michael Sbrizza, who threw 94 pitches over 6 2/3 innings, striking out seven. Offensively, juniors Jack Eardley and Sam Gennaro delivered key hits in the top of the seventh to tie the game and briefly give Marshwood a 2-1 lead. Freshman Dominic Galuppo added two hits. Marshwood entered the bottom of the seventh leading 2-1, but Scarborough responded with a leadoff double, followed by a sacrifice advance and a runscoring single to tie the game. With a runner at third and two outs, Scarborough secured the win with a walk-off RBI single.

~ Real Estate ~ ...PFAS from page 26 ing, treatment planning, financing and workforce training. A second proposed rule addresses concerns about how the Biden administration established standards for other PFAS compounds, including PFHxS, PFNA and HFPO-DA, also known as GenX chemicals. EPA officials said the previous rulemaking may not have complied with the Safe Drinking Water Act because it combined steps typically conducted separately. The agency is seeking public comment on whether the standards should be reconsidered. Environmental groups and water utilities have previously raised concerns about the costs of PFAS treatment and the pace of federal regulation, though reactions to the latest proposals were not immediately available. The EPA is continuing to develop limits on PFAS discharges from industrial sources, including chemical manufacturers, under the Clean Water Act and the Toxic Substances Control Act, which it uses to review new and existing chemicals before they enter commerce. The agency also highlighted ongoing work to expand PFAS treatment and destruction technologies, including granular activated carbon, ion exchange systems, reverse osmosis and emerging methods such as supercritical water oxidation, electrochemical oxidation and nonthermal plasma. Guidance on PFAS destruction and disposal will be updated annually instead of every three years to reflect rapidly changing technology and field performance. The EPA has completed four full-scale PFAS treatment systems serving water districts in Southern California, protecting more than 9,500 households. EPA researchers continue to develop and validate analytical methods to detect PFAS compounds in drinking water, wastewater, soil and air, including tools capable of identifying dozens of chemicals across multiple environmental media. The proposed rules will be published in the Federal Register and open to a 60-day public comment period. The EPA plans to hold an online public hearing July 7. Registration is required by July 1 to attend the event or submit comments. For more information, visit www.epa.gov/sdwa/proposedpfas-rescission-rule.

FINANCE & CAREER Social Security Offers Faster Replacement Card Services STATEWIDE Maine residents who need an original Social Security number or a replacement card can now complete their request online and, if needed, schedule an appointment for faster service. When visiting the Social Security page, applicants are asked a series of questions to determine the best way to apply. After submitting an online application, the system will either

process it online or direct users to schedule an appointment at a local Social Security office or card center to complete the process. Starting the application online typically reduces in-office wait time. The Social Security Administration has expanded appointment-based services as part of ongoing efforts to improve efficiency. Individuals needing to visit an office or card center are encouraged to schedule an ap-

pointment. Before completing an inperson visit, applicants should determine what documents they need to bring. Documents must be originals or certified copies. Upon arrival at an office, visitors can follow instructions at the kiosk to check in using Mobile Check-in Express by scanning a QR code near the entrance and enabling mobile notifications. They will be notified when an employee is ready to assist them.

Staff will verify the information submitted online and review required documents, which are not retained. Whether applying online or in person, the Social Security Administration processes the application and mails the card, usually within 10 business days. For more information, visit www.ssa.gov/numbercard or www.ssa.gov/ssnumber/ss5doc.htm.
