Tom Brady Biographer Lars Anderson to Speak at Library KENNEBUNKPORT New York Times bestselling author and former Sports Illustrated journalist Lars Anderson will discuss his recently published biography of football phenomenon Tom Brady, “Brady: An American Story and the Price of Greatness.” Portland Press Herald sportswriter Travis Lazarczyk will moderate the conversation with Anderson Friday, Oct. 2, at 6 p.m. at the Louis T. Graves Memorial Public Library, 18 Maine St., Kennebunkport. The event is part of Graves Library’s Patsy Bray Mahoney Lecture Series and is free and open to the public. Anderson’s
book will be sold at the event, and the author will be available for book signing after the presentation.
From more than 350 original interviews with people who know the quarterback on and off the field, Anderson paints a
detailed psychological portrait of Tom Brady, the most accomplished player in NFL history. Brady is a self-described loner whose life is defined by discipline, resilience, fascination with preparation, an intolerance for wasted time, and a relentless pursuit of excellence. What Anderson discovers is a man riddled with contradiction, defined by both a prolific career of unmatched success on the field and the agonizing cost of greatness in his personal life. “This book is what happens when one of the greatest sports writers of our time steps up to chronicle one of the icons in American sports,” said journal-
ist Rick Bragg. Lars Anderson is a New York Times bestselling author of 12 books, including “The Storm and the Tide” and “The Mannings.” A 20-year veteran of Sports Illustrated, Anderson wrote more than two dozen cover stories for the magazine. His work has appeared in the Best American Sports Writing series, and in 2025, the University of Alabama honored Anderson with the Clarence E. Cason Award in Nonfiction Writing, the school’s top literary honor. Seating capacity is limited, and registration is recommended. For more information, visit www.graveslibrary.org.

Safari Across Salmon Falls Highlights Drinking Water Issues BERWICK On Wednesday, Sept. 30, a group of walkers will leave Somersworth City Hall, cross the Salmon Falls River on the Route 9 bridge and continue into Great Falls Park in Berwick. They’ll be looking at something most people usually walk right past: where all the rainwater goes. The eighth annual Salmon Falls Success Safari is a free, daylong walking tour organized by the Salmon Falls Watershed Collaborative, a partnership of municipalities, state and federal agencies, nonprofits and other organizations working on both sides of the river to protect the Salmon Falls watershed. The river provides drinking water to residents of both Somersworth and Berwick. This year’s safari focuses on stormwater and the ways communities can keep runoff from carrying trash, fertilizers,
chemicals, and other pollutants directly into the river. L a u r a We i t- M a r c u m , source water protection coordinator with the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services, said one goal is to show people what those solutions actually look like on the ground. “When rain falls, it can collect that stuff and then just dump it directly in the river,” Weit-Marcum said. “Whereas with certain stormwater management techniques, it actually infiltrates into the ground. That way it absorbs it and it protects the river.” The walk begins at 9:30 a.m. at Somersworth City Hall. Participants will visit three recent Somersworth projects, including a 128-unit housing development on Green Street and a public stormwater project See WATER on page 20...

Gardening, Maine, and Murder: The Stories of Claire Ackroyd NORTH BERWICK Maine author Claire Ackroyd will speak at the D.A. Hurd Library, 41 High St. in North Berwick, at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 30. Ackroyd grew up maintaining a large family garden in rural postwar England. She earned a degree in horticulture from the University of Bath and, drawn to the United States by its anti-war and social justice movements of the 1960s, completed graduate programs there. Ackroyd eventually found her way to Maine, where she has operated her own gardening business and spent more than 40 years working as a landscape designer, teacher and organic certification inspector. Ackroyd has always had an itch to write stories. She was raised on classic British murder mysteries, from Agatha Christie
to Dorothy Sayers, and considers a story incomplete if it does not contain at least one dead body. Ackroyd’s years as an organic inspector in large maple sugar camps deep in the remote woods of northwestern Maine inspired her debut novel, “Murder in the Maple Woods.” The mystery centers on the death of a boy while offering a portrait of the tough, unique and little-understood life in the camps. In its sequel, “Body in the Blueberry Barrens,” the protagonist and her dog become involved in the death of an organic blueberry grower in the far reaches of Downeast Maine. The event is free and open to the public. Seating is limited, and registration is strongly encouraged. For more information and to register, visit www.dahurdlibrary.org or call 207-676-2215.
Maine DOER Survey Shows Heating Fuel Prices Up 74% STATEWIDE The Maine Department of Energy Resources (DOER) released its latest weekly survey of Maine heating fuel prices, showing the average statewide price of heating oil was $5.77 per gallon on Sept. 14, a 74% increase from the same time last year. Kerosene prices averaged $6.57 per gallon. Based on a standard 275gallon oil tank, residents are now estimated to pay nearly $675 more to fill their tank to capacity than they would have one year ago, prior to the start of the Iran conflict. The all-time high statewide average price for heating oil in Maine was $5.92 per gallon in 2022, following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. “I encourage Maine people to stay informed about current fuel prices, keep in touch with their fuel suppliers, and explore heating assistance and energy efficiency programs that can help lower costs and keep their homes warm this winter,” said Celina Cunningham, acting commissioner of DOER. The latest heating f uel prices are available on the DOER website and are updated weekly during the heating season. DOER also offers a Winter Heating Guide with tips and resources for winter heating. Financial assistance for home heat i ng is avai lable through the Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP), administered by MaineHousing. The Energy Crisis Intervention Program (ECIP), which assists HEAP-eligible households facing an immediate heating emergency, will open Nov. 1 and may provide a one-time payment directly to a fuel vendor. For more information, visit www. efficiencymaine.com. Maine residents can also explore home energy-efficiency
incentives through Efficiency Maine, including a limitedtime $500 bonus for those who use heat pumps as their primary heating system, in addition to existing rebates. Efficiency Maine is also offering $1,150 instant discounts on heat pump water heaters, which use less than half the electricity of standard electric-resistance water heaters and can reduce electric bills by
U.S. Senators Urge Swift Release of LIHEAP Funding WASHINGTON With winter approaching, U.S. Sens. Susan Collins, (RME), Jack Reed, (D-RI), and Lisa Murkowski, (R-AK), are urging the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to release funding for the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) as soon as funds become available Oct. 1. as much as $650 annually. Maine consumes more residential heating oil per capita than any other U.S. state and significantly more per capita than other New England states. Approximately 50% of Maine households rely on fuel oil as their primary heat source, down from 70% in 2010. DOER will host an informational public webinar on winter heating resources for Maine residents Friday, October 2, from 11 a.m. to noon. Representatives from Efficiency Maine Trust and MaineHousing will be in attendance. The event is free, and registration is required for the Zoom link. For more information and to register, visit https://tinyurl. com/DOER-Oct2-Webinar.
The bipartisan request calls for the funding to be released at the highest level permitted. In their letter to Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the senators emphasized the importance of LIHEAP funding for lowincome households and seniors on fixed incomes who need assistance with their energy bills. Nationwide, an estimated 6.2 million households received help with heating and cooling costs through LIHEAP last year. In Maine, households received $41.6 million in LIHEAP funding during the same period. After the administration proposed eliminating LIHEAP funding in its fiscal year 2027 budget request, Collins, Reed, and Murkowski worked through the Senate Appropriations Com-
OUR Y K PIC OWN
mittee to maintain funding for the program. The fiscal year 2026 appropriations law provided $4.045 billion for LIHEAP, a $20 million increase over the previous year. “Given the extraordinary pressure consumers will face this winter, we ask that you make this distribution well before the deadline. State agencies and tribes are already activating their LIHEAP programs for the coming winter. A quick release of funding will ensure no gaps in assistance,” the 31 senators wrote. The letter was also signed by 28 additional senators from both parties, including Maine independent Angus King. Applications for LIHEAP assistance will remain open through spring 2027, or until funding is exhausted. Maine residents can apply through the state’s LIHEAP program and local Community Action Agencies, with eligibility based on income, family size, and available resources For more information or to apply, visit www.mainehousing. org/programs-services/energy/ energydetails/liheap.

WELLS Looking for two new lifelong friends? Friends who will run to the door when you enter a room and let you know that you are the most important person in the entire world? Buzz and Bowzer are just the right choice for anyone seeking something wonderful to fill their heart. These two kitties have plenty of affection and companionship to give and would love to share a home with someone who appreciates their loving personalities. They are ready to find their person and give them all the love they have to offer. Buzz is 1 year old. His best friend, Bowser, is 5. They’re so tight that their favorite pastime is being patted together at the same time. They also love being brushed, taking naps and, yes, even having a little squabble for no reason at all—just because. Buzz and Bowser do well with other cats, but Safe Haven is unsure how they may interact with dogs. Older children who are cat lovers and enjoy play and

Lately, life has been all about practice, progress, and the occasional very important field trip to Lowe’s. The AWS training team has been helping me work on leash walking, focus, and feeling more comfortable in busy places. There is, admittedly, a lot happening in the outside world. Carts. People. Smells. Lumber. But I’m getting better at checking back in, refocusing, and staying connected with my handler. Longer walks mean more distractions and more brain work, and sometimes my attention span decides it has other plans. The good news? I’m learning how to reset. Busy environments are getting easier, my confidence is growing, and every trip out gives me another chance to practice being the composed gentleman I am clearly becoming. Very professional. Mostly. Trips to Lowe’s aren’t just for browsing the garden center. They’re a chance for me to practice around new sights, sounds, and people while building positive associations along the way. Each outing gives me another little win, and those little wins are starting to add up. At this
rate, I’ll be running the place. Training matters, but it’s not my whole personality. I still like walks, sniffing, hanging with my people, and just being a dog without an agenda. Give me structure, patience, and some time to decompress, and I’m capable of settling in and enjoying the moment! The ideal home for me is one that sees training as something we can keep doing together. I’ve already started the work. Now I just need someone who wants to keep going with me. If you or someone you know is interested in adopting me, give my friends at AWS a call today. Tell them Moose sent you!

...SCRAPS from page 2 Each year, A mer icans throw away about one-third of the food produced in the United States. The retail and food service industries account for much of this waste, but households are responsible for 40% to 50% of it. That includes vegetable peels and apple cores, eggshells, chicken bones, and uneaten or forgotten meals and leftovers. Much of this food waste ends up in landfills, where it begins to break down. As food waste decomposes, it releases methane, a greenhouse gas that contributes significantly to global warming. The new composting program in Wells will benefit residents who do not compost at home, as well as those who already do. Commercial composting uses specialized equipment and a controlled environment, allowing it to process items such as meat, bones, bread and seafood shells that are not suitable for typical home compost bins. This is a pilot program, so its success will depend in part on household participation. Sept. 28–Oct. 4 is Maine Food Waste Prevention Week, making it an opportunity for residents to support the new food waste recycling program in Wells. For more information and a complete list of accepted prohibited items, visit www.wellstown.org/m/newsflash/home/ detail/352.

2026. Franklin’s work has been published in The New York Times, The Boston Globe, and The Kenyon Review. Her stories have been read aloud on National Public Radio and long-listed for the London Sunday Times Short Story Award. See’s new novel, “Daughters of the Sun and Moon,” tells the story of three Chinese women who manage to survive, and eventually thrive, in post-Civil War Los Angeles. She is also the author of many other bestselling novels with strong characters and themes, including “Lady Tan’s Circle of Women,” “The Island of Sea Women,” “The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane,” and “Snow Flower and the Secret Fan.” As a freelance journalist, See’s articles have appeared in Vogue, Self, and More, as well as in numerous book reviews. Combining biography and a call to justice, Liberty wrote “Liberty’s Prison: The Inmate’s Son Who Radically Reformed an American Prison,” which follows Liberty’s journey from maximum-security prison warden to Maine’s Commissioner of Corrections. When Liberty was seven years old, he traveled to the Maine State Prison to visit his incarcerated father. 40 years later, he returned to the prison as its warden. A trailblazer in the field of corrections, Liberty introduced innovative programs and dramatically reduced the use of restrictive housing. Franklin and Liberty’s appearances are part of the library’s Patsy Bray Mahoney Lecture
Brick Store Museum Celebrates 90 Years, Launches New Campaign KENNEBUNK The Brick Store Museum is celebrating 90 years of service to Southern Maine with a new special anniversary exhibition, “Community Building: The Museum at 90.” Founded in 1936 by American artist Edith Barry in an historic brick general store, the institution became the 15th museum to open in Maine, dedicated to preserving and celebrating local art and history. The new exhibition takes visitors on a journey through the museum’s early days and the changes it has witnessed over nearly a century, and features artifacts selected directly from the museum’s 55,000-piece collection. Interactive components bring the founding narrative to life. Visitors can sit at a replica of Barry’s desk to read reproductions of handwritten planning documents that outline her decades-long effort to build the community landmark. Guests Series, bringing regional and national authors to our community. The events are free to attend, and registration is required. For more information and to reserve, visit www.graveslibrary.org.
will also be invited to share their ideas for the museum’s centennial in 2036. To honor nine decades of service, the museum is inviting the public to participate in its new 90-for-90 Campaign. Supporters are asked to make a $90 contribution to the Spofford Education Fund, which fuels the Brick Store Museum’s year-round educational programming for children and adults alike. Contributions directly support the museum’s core mission of igniting personal connections to local history and art across Southern Maine. The museum is supported by individuals, businesses, and foundations and receives no local, state, or federal funding. It raises 100% of its annual operating costs each year to provide free or reduced-cost educational programs and exhibits for the public. The exhibition will remain on view at the museum, located at 117 Main St. in Kennebunk, through December. A Members Reception is scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 30, from 3 to 5 p.m., and a “Sparkling at 90” holiday event is planned for December.

Dance Hall Hosts Fall Documentary Film Weekend KITTERY The Dance Hall, in collaboration with Vacationland Films, will present a weekend of documentary films, with Q&As following each screening. Kalim Summerday Armstrong, a Kittery-based documentary filmmaker and co-founder of Vacationland Films and Studio Kittery, will moderate the film series and discuss how he helped bring the films to life. The first film in the series, “Fork in the Road,” will be shown Friday, Sept. 25, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. “Fork in the Road” sheds light on the struggles and resilience of small-scale farmers and communities navigating a global food system. The film explores how conventional agriculture, climate change, and economic inequality impact independent farmers around the world. The film’s characters ref lect the diverse struggles of farmers, activists, and communities—from a family in Henry County, Kentucky, fighting to sustain their farm after losing a dairy contract with a corporate giant, to an Indigenous kelp farmer in Alaska and Latina farmers facing economic and social inequities in California. Their stories illuminate broader issues of access to land, capital, and fair markets, while showing
that change is both possible and necessary for a more equitable food system. The documentary features the work and legacy of the late Wendell Berry and features a panel discussion with the film’s director and local Seacoast farmer Jeff Benton of Orange Circle Farm in Berwick. The next film, “Row of Life,” screens Saturday, Sept. 26, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. “Row of Life” follows ocean rower, Marine Corps veteran, three-time Paralympian, and 14-time Guinness World Records holder Angela Madsen. In 2020, Madsen attempted to row solo and unassisted across the Pacific Ocean, covering 2,400 miles from Los Angeles to Hawaii. What unfolds is a harrowing story of determination, resilience, and courage in the face of the unknown, alongside the unwavering support of Angela’s wife, Deb, who, separated by a vast ocean, champions her dream despite the ultimate cost. Following the screening, Armstrong will lead a Q&A, followed by a message from the film’s director, Soraya Simi. Vacationland Films is a documentary studio making uncommon films on common ground.

This award-winning PBS documentary follows a small group of high school students as they photograph forests, lakes, mountains, beaches, streetscapes, and other features of their communities with an eye toward the future. Filmmaker Jonathan Fisher will be present to answer questions following the 30minute film. The initiative began in 2023 with students in Cape Elizabeth, who received an orientation in visual storytelling before photographing environmental concerns in their community. Their work was exhibited locally and promoted on social media, helping spark a wider program. From 2024 to 2025, the effort expanded to youth climate groups in Chicago and the Bay Area, giving the project a national scope. The film that grew out of the project is designed to engage viewers across differences and encourage intergenerational conversation about environmental stewardship and the future. “Rather than lecture audi-

ences, the film asks us to look with the students: at the places they value, the changes they notice, and the futures they can imagine,” said director and producer Jonathan Fisher. “Their photog raphs make climate change personal and local, while their candor and optimism make room for conversation across political and generational lines. My hope is that viewers leave not only concerned, but newly attentive to what young people see—and more willing to act alongside them.” Fisher is executive director of the nonpartisan nonprofit Seeing for Ourselves, which uses participatory photography to explore social issues and encourage community engagement.

Hinds (Ogunquit Playhouse’s “Come From Away”); music supervision by Andy York (Alliance Theatre’s “Ghost Brothers of Darkland County”); and music direction by Jason Hart (Broadway’s “American Psycho”).

will give two on-site artist talks Saturday, Oct. 3, at the newly restored Life Saving Station Museum on Wood Island. The talks coincide with the 20th anniversary of Gorvett’s gallery in Portsmouth, NH. The exhibit, “Don Gorvett: Drawing the Wood Island Station,” closes Oct. 12. The exhibit consists of 14 works, including five drawings and four reduction woodcuts capturing the weatherbeaten state of the historic Life Saving Station before its ten-year restoration, led by Sam Reid. The station reopened to the public in 2024. When Gorvett moved from Massachusetts to Maine in 1990, he was immediately drawn to Portsmouth’s working harbor as subject matter for his woodcuts, etchings, and drawings. David Pratt, owner of D. Pratt Framers in Kittery, then located in Portsmouth, recalls first seeing Gorvett drawing the waterfront in windy weather, his easel lashed to a fence. Gorvett’s drawings from that time documented Portsmouth’s transition from a working-class Navy town to a redeveloped waterfront lined with fine-dining restaurants, boutique shops, and hotels. The drawings served as preliminary designs for Gorvett’s woodcuts of early Portsmouth. His woodcuts are in the permanent collections of public and private institutions, including the Museum of Fine Art in Boston, the Cape Ann Museum in Gloucester, the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, MA, and the Portland Museum of Art. Wood Island is accessible by boat. The ticket price includes round-trip transportation to the island aboard Portsmouth Harbor Cruises.

mountains, Maine Craft Weekend offers a rare opportunity to step inside working studios, meet artists where they create, and learn about the materials, techniques, and traditions behind exceptional handmade work. Avid collectors, curious travelers, and families can find something to do throughout the state. This year’s event features participants working across a wide range of media, including basketry, ceramics, fiber, furniture, glass, jewelry, leather, metal, mixed media, printmaking, paper, wood, stone, and more. The weekend aims to connect the public with local artists, foster collaboration, and support the state’s craft community.

OGUNQUIT What began as a deeply personal journey through grief and loss has become a published book, an unexpected new chapter for Ogunquit resident Greg DeLuca. DeLuca 74, recently published his first book, “The Balcony,” a personal and spiritual story that helped shape his understanding of life after death. Just weeks after its release, DeLuca has already sold 257 copies of the book, far exceeding his expectations when he first decided to put his story into words. “I didn’t set out to become an author,” DeLuca said. “I had a story that I felt needed to [be told]. I never knew where it would lead.” A longtime Maine resident, DeLuca spent much of his life outside publishing. Writing “The Balcony” became a way to make sense of the experiences that profoundly changed his life and share a message he hopes will resonate with others who
have experienced loss. The response from readers has been especially meaningful to DeLuca. He has received personal messages from people who connected with the book’s themes of grief, faith, and the possibility that there is more to life than what can be seen on the surface. The book has also prompted DeLuca to reach beyond his immediate community by contacting newspapers and other media outlets in hopes of sharing his story. “I think the most rewarding part isn’t the number of books sold,” DeLuca said. “It’s hearing from someone who read it and told me that something in the book touched them. That’s what makes all of this worthwhile.” The newly minted author is already at work on his second book. “The Balcony” is available through Amazon and other outlets. For more information, visit www.gregdeluca.com.
FINANCE & CAREER Friends of York Hospital Announces 2026 Scholarship Recipients YORK This summer, the Friends of York Hospital announced the three recipients of the 2026 Friends of York Hospital Scholarship. Each recipient received a $5,000 award to support their studies toward a career in healthcare. The scholarship was established in June 1962 to provide financial assistance to students from the communities served by the hospital who plan to pursue careers in medicine and healthcare. This year’s recipients were Isabella M. Parrotta, a graduate of York High School who is attending Emmanuel College to study nursing; Lauren M. Jordan, a graduate of Noble High School who is attending the University of Rhode Island to pursue biology and pre-medical studies; and Willoughby L. Manser, also a Noble High School graduate, who plans to study nursing at Keene State College. The three students were selected based on their strong academic records, leadership, com mu n it y i nvolveme nt, work experience, and demonstrated commitment to careers in healthcare. Parrotta graduated in the top 10% of her class, maintained honor roll or high honor roll status throughout high school, and served as class president all four years. She volunteered at the York Hospital Emergency Department for two hours each week over the past three years, contributing more than 100 hours of service, and also volun-
teered through her high school’s Interact Club and helped coach middle school girls’ volleyball. She plans to begin her career as a registered nurse before pursuing advanced education to become a nurse anesthetist. Jordan graduated as valedictorian and earned numerous academic honors, including three French Highest GPA awards, AP Scholar recognition, and College Board National Recognition Program honors. She also became a Certified Nursing Assistant and participated in medical and researchfocused programs, including the University of Southern Maine’s SMART Research Program. Outside the classroom, she served as captain of her varsity soccer team, participated in varsity track and volunteered at York Hospital, while also coaching young soccer players, mentoring elementary students in French, and assisting in special education and kindergarten programs. Jordan plans to pursue a career as a physician. Manser earned Honor Roll and Student of the Month recognition while serving as captain

of her varsity volleyball, swim, and track and field teams. She also coached middle school volleyball for four years and volunteered with Special Olympics, Special Sailing, and Special Surfers, drawing on her experience growing up with a brother with special needs. Her interest in healthcare has included lifeguarding, a University of New England medical career exploration camp, and a CNA program, where she worked with patients living with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. She plans to pursue a career as a nurse in a medical-surgical unit. The Friends of York Hospital are proud to invest in Isa-
bella, Lauren and Willoughby as they begin the next chapter of their education. Their accomplishments and dedication to serving others embody the spirit of the scholarship and offer great promise for the future of healthcare in our community and beyond. The Friends of York Hospital is a volunteer organization that has supported the hospital and its community since 1959. Members gather three times annually for meetings that include a guest speaker, organizational business, and light fare. New
members are always welcome, and the organization also welcomes the opportunity to reconnect with past scholarship recipients. The scholarship program is funded through membership dues, donations from the Physicians’ Committee, and the York Hospital Apothecary, and community donations, including proceeds from the organization’s popular Holiday Basket Raff le held each December.

on Constitutional Way, before heading to Berwick. At 11:15 a.m., the group will cross the Eddy Bridge on Route 9 and continue to Great Falls Park. Berwick Director of Planning and Development James Bellissimo will talk about the town’s stormwater requirements and work underway on the Berwick side of the river. It makes for a particularly fitting walking tour. The Salmon Falls River is both the state line and one of the things Berwick and Somersworth quite literally share. “It’s great that everyone is so invested and involved and dedicated to protecting the Salmon Falls River,” WeitMarcum said. “It’s a great collaborative effort between both states, which is pretty rare.” After returning to Somersworth City Hall, participants will have lunch provided by Maine Water, learn more about local low-impact development projects, and take part in a discussion to help inform future planning for the Salmon Falls River watershed. The safari is open to the public and includes roughly three hours of walking. Good walking shoes are recommended. Although most of the route is paved and relatively level, accommodations can be made for people with mobility limitations. The event runs from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. and will be held rain or shine. It is free, but space is limited and advance registration is requested. For more information and to register, visit https:// tinyurl.com/SalmonFallsSafariTickets.

~ Sports & Outdoors ~ BA Girls Varsity Soccer Berwick Academy 6 Covenant Christian 1 PEABODY, MA On Wednesday, Sept. 16, the Bulldogs played the Covenant Christian Academy Cougars and beat them 6-1. The Bulldogs are now 2-0-0 on the season. The Bulldogs came out of the gates strong and wasting no time, when Carly Shumway carried the ball up the center of the field to the right side, where she passed it in across the goal and Senior Co-Captain Tatum Sloper knocked it into the net, securing the first goal in the 7th min. Only two minutes later, Griffin Demers skillfully passed the ball on a free kick to Emma Rich who knocked it to Shumway who secured the second goal of the game. While the Cougars did not have many chances against the Bulldogs, they did have one soon after the Bulldog’s second goal, when they made a shot, but Goalkeeper Julia Brennan dove gracefully to save it, stopping the ball on a front smother. At the 22nd minute mark, Sophia DeSimone carried the ball up the field, dribbling past several opponents, and giving the ball to Rylee White who shot and scored with her left foot. The Bulldogs kept the pressure on and the energy high throughout the second half, starting off with a great save by Goalkeeper Charlotte Loughlin when she caught a ball that was shot hard from close to the net.
In the 61st minute of the match, Campbell McKee set up the fourth goal with a skillful pass to Shumway who shot and scored. Then, 10 minutes later, CoCaptain Emma Rich carried the ball up the left side of the field to DeSimone who shot and scored again. One minute later, a beautiful passing sequence unfolded, from Rich to Sloper to DeSimone who passed a long through ball to Rylee White who ran onto it and shot into the top corner of the net, scoring the game’s sixth and final goal. The Bulldogs will play their home opener against the Wheeler School Warriors at the end of the week.
Berwick Academy 4 Wheeler School 0 SOUTH BERWICK On Saturday, Sept. 19, “Wheeler Day,” the Bulldogs took most of the first half of the game and several attempts to get a number on the scoreboard. Once they did, they were on a roll and they filled the second half with lots of exciting plays. The Bulldogs are currently 3-0-0 on the season. In the 35th minute, Carly Shumway carried the ball up the center of the field, dribbling past opponents, and scored off an assist from senior and Co-Captain Tatum Sloper. With two minutes on the clock in the first half, off an assist from Shumway, Sophia DeSimone had a breakaway and shot a perfectly
placed goal in the bottom corner of the net. Star ting st rong in t he first minute of the second half, DeSimone received a pass from Sloper, and then dribbled the ball up the right side of the field, got inside the box, and expertly tapped it into the goal. Only four minutes later, Shumway shot and scored off an assist from DeSimone, rounding out the game and giving the Bulldogs what turned out to be a 4-0 result.
Seacoast Golf: Dutch Elm Recap ARUNDEL Eighteen 2-man teams competed in Seacoast Golf’s Stroke Play Four Ball Tournament. Three teams tied for first place with 44 points.

BA Boys Varsity Soccer Berwick Academy 3 Pingree School 0 SOUTH HAMILTON, MA Berwick beat Eastern Independent League rival Pingree 5-0 on Wednesday, Sept. 16. The halftime score was 3-0 on goals by Jack O’Brien, Amir Makdad, and Adom Lokko. Second half goals were scored by Owen Small and MacGregor Caffelle. Assists on the day go to Makdad, Jonathan Hooper, Owen Spinney, and Oliver Hathaway. Jak Loughlin collected his second shutout in as many games this season.
Berwick Academy 2 Wheeler School 0 SOUTH BERWICK The Bulldogs hosted EIL Tournament champion Wheeler on Saturday, Sept. 19. “Wheeler Day” saw the field hockey, volleyball, and soccer teams compete against their Rhode Island opponents, making for a busy
WS
campus. The 1 p.m. soccer match was evenly played, with Wheeler controlling possession in certain areas while Berwick created the more dangerous scoring opportunities. Berwick broke through when Amir Makdad ’27 collected a pass from Jonathan Hooper ’28 and lofted it over the keeper just a couple of minutes before halftime. Im mediately af ter t he break, Owen Spinney smashed a shot off the crossbar that somehow stayed out. With Berwick’s midfield matching Wheeler’s and its defenders locking things down, Spinney got another chance later in the half and blistered a shot into the top corner, just in front of the lively student section. The 2-0 victory capped a great, though busy, first week of play and left Berwick at 3-0. Next up is Landmark School of Beverly, Massachusetts, which will visit Wednesday.
Winds teammate Leon Weaver, grabbing two of the day’s skins. Dave Strzempko and his Ocean Currents teammate, Ron Ferragam, joined the other pairs for the shared victory. Phil Brockelman and Alex Rago (Ocean Currents) finished in fourth place, two points back and Tom LaPlante and Jerry DiPhilippo, who came in fifth place with 41 points. Last year’s Agamenticus Division Golfer of the Year (GOY) Dan Soule had a solid day scoring 31 points, closing the gap between him and Divisional Leaders Peter Kuchinsky and Mike Martel. In the Bauneg Beg Division, last year’s GOY earned 36 points and jumped ahead of second place Steve Grenier for the divisional lead. The regular season GOY winners will be decided at Seacoast Golf’s next event at Nippo Lake Golf Club.
BA Varsity Golf Match Results BEVERLY, MA Berwick Academy Varsity Golf traveled to Beverly Golf & Tennis Club Monday, Sept. 14 to compete against Eastern Independent League rivals Pingree.

units to develop cardiac emergency response plans beginning in the 2026-27 school year. The plans must address how school personnel should respond to someone experiencing sudden cardiac arrest or another similar life-threatening emergency during athletic events and practices on school grounds. “Cardiac emergencies are unpredictable and it is our job as parents, coaches, educators, administrators and Mainers to ensure that, if these emergencies arise, we can respond quickly so our students are able to receive the best care possible,” said Rafferty. “As a former teacher, coach, chair of the Education Committee and—most importantly—a father, this legislation was something I was proud to sponsor in my last term as a state senator. I hope that all parents can worry a little less when they send their kids to sports practices and games.” LD 587 was passed by the Legislature in 2025 during the First Special Session of the 132nd Legislature. The bill was held by Gov. Janet Mills and became law without her signature in January 2026. Because it was non-emergency legislation, the law took effect July 29, 90 days after the Second Regular Session adjourned.

NOTICE FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT NOTICE TO ALL INTERESTED PERSONS TO: All Interested Persons
DATE ISSUED: September 3, 2026
The State of Maine Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), pursuant to Rules Relating to Drinking Water State Revolving Loan Fund (SRF), Chapter 230, Section 6 has prepared an environmental assessment for the Kittery Water District. The Maine DHHS has reviewed a submitted environmental information document of the proposed project to receive funds from the Drinking Water State Revolving Loan Fund (DWSRF). From this review it has been determined the project will have no significant adverse effects and will improve the human environment of the York area. Therefore, an environmental impact statement will not be required to be prepared. The proposed action is the expansion of the existing water treatment plant building to allow for facility upgrades, including two new filters, a new clearwell, backwash equalization basins, a new sedimentation basin, expanded building areas for the chemical feed system, electrical, mechanical, and finished water pump room. Site improvements include alterations to an existing residual drying bed, construction of a new residuals drying bed, access road improvements, relocation of an existing garage, upgrades to existing underground piping, and installation of a new septic system. A review of the proposed action by the DHHS has indicated that there will be no significant environmental impact. Further records to this project are on file and are available for review at the offices of the Kittery Water District at 17 State Road, Kittery, Maine 03904 and at the Department of Health and Human Services, Drinking Water Program, 286 Water Street, Key Plaza, Augusta, Maine 04333.

people to get outside, discover birds and nature, and connect with other young birders.” The Maine Young Birders Club offers free membership to young people ages 11-18 and provides monthly birding outings, workshops, and other educational opportunities throughout the year. The $1,000 donation will help support those programs and allow the club to continue making birding and nature education accessible to young people.
The 2026 award continues a valued relationship between the Acadia Birding Festival and the Maine Young Birders Club. The festival has supported the club in the past, and the club is grateful for its continued commitment to encouraging the next generation of birders and conservationists. The Maine Young Birders Club provides opportunities for young people ages 11-18 to explore birds, nature, and conservation through outings, workshops,
and educational programs. Membership is free and funded entirely by donations. The club was established in 2016 by York County Audubon, a chapter of Maine Audubon. For the last decade, Maine Young Birders Club has helped young Mainers build skills, increase conservation awareness and explore careers in natural science.
