From the Editor: The Joy of the Maine Summer
If you’ve ever lived in Maine, chances are you have at least one fond memory of a moment in summer when everything seemed – for all intents and purposes – perfect. The sun is generous without being overly so, the foliage has wrapped everything in a blanket of green, and the sunset lasts for what feels like hours. It’s a time that’s easy to appreciate, particularly when we’ve experienced its opposite (which could be winter or a summer in an area past a certain latitude). It’s true that the Maine summer has its “challenges,” including the proliferation of mosquitos, unexpectedly hot days that catch us without proper amenities, and the ceaseless task of trying to keep vegetation in check. For the most part, however, summer- time is truly the time period we’ve all been waiting for – flora and fauna included. If you’re lucky enough to be in Maine for the summertime, I heartily encourage you to take a moment (or several) to experience it barefoot. Something that was once commonplace for children has become less so for humans of all ages, but there’s no replace- ment for removing all of the barriers between yourself and the Maine soil, grass, sand, or rocks. Depending on where you are, you might need to keep moving to avoid picking up passengers, but creating and fostering that simple sensory memory will help to cement the Maine summer in your mind for decades to come.

Holmes dressed not to allow the anniversary to festival was started.” Margaretta Days celebrates a revolutionary battle that took place in the Machias Bay just after the Battles of Concord and Lexington, famous as the first naval battle of the Ameri- can Revolution and called the “Lexington of the Sea.” On June 11, 1775, Machias patriots refused to give lumber to the British, who intended to use it for building defenses against the Massachusetts Minutemen. Machias-area patriots attacked the British, gave chase and ultimately killed their leader, Midshipman James Moore, then captured their ship, the Margaretta. Two years later the British returned to take vengeance and were defeated only with the assistance of Native American allies. Chief Francis Joseph Neptune of the Passamaquoddy delivered a fatal shot that turned the tide of that battle while standing just along the Machias river where Helen’s Restaurant stands today. That was the Battle of the Rim. After the second year was rained out, the event was moved from the downtown area up to the University of Maine campus, graciously donated by the col- lege in case of rain. Today the event showcases many period trades such as tim- ber framers, woodworkers, spin- ners, weavers and blacksmiths, as well as recreational activities for adults and children alike, such as making dolls from corn husks and hoop rolling. Holmes said the festival reminds us of the historical importance both of the battle and her motiva- (continued on page 9) PAGE 9

Active Play! Dr. Diane Craft Returns to Downeast Maine
Healthy Acadia and Let’s Go! 5210 are thrilled to welcome Dr. Diane Craft back to Downeast Maine for her incredibly popular, “Active Play: Fun Physical Activities for Young Children” in- teractive workshops this month. Three workshops are scheduled: -Wednesday, June 20, 6-8 p.m. at Wabanaki Cultural Center, 39 Union Street, Calais - Thursday, June 21, 6-8 p.m. at Moore Community Center, 133 State Street, Ellsworth Participants will learn fun, inclusive, developmentally appropriate physical activities that use inexpensive equipment, small spaces, and work well in center-based and home-based childcare settings. These physical activities enable toddlers and preschoolers to play together while develop- ing their fundamental movement skills. Diane H. Craft, Ph.D., is a professor of physical education at SUNY Cortland. She has co-authored four books on developmentally appropriate, inclusive physical activity for young children including “Active Play! Fun Physical Activities for Young Children” and has given over 230 highly-acclaimed presentations, workshops and keynotes on preschool physical activities to audiences across the na- tion. She is currently consulting with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as the subject matter expert on Early Childhood Physical Activity. “The Active Play Workshop has my whole team excited about going back to work and sharing the inventive ideas with the children.” said Penni Theriault, owner, Lots of Tots, Princeton, Maine. “The games not only promote physical activity but offered ideas for group games with no winners and no losers, just plain cooperative fun. The proof of success for me was the constant giggles and bright smiles of not just the children but the childcare team as well.” This training is FREE and open to anyone working with children ages 0-6, including childcare providers and teachers pre-K & K. Two credit hours will be available for all attendees. A healthy, light supper will be provided. Please wear comfortable clothes and shoes as this is an active, hands- on, and super-fun workshop.

Mathews Maritime Hymn Sing
Stephen Sanfilippo, recently retired from Maine Maritime Academy, was among the nearly 50 musicians from throughout the United States and many other countries that performed in Connecti- cut on June 8th through 10th at Mystic Seaport’s annual Music of the Sea History Symposium and Sea Music Festival. Dr. Sanfilippo, who leads the Pembroke Library’s monthly Chantey Sing, and serves as secretary and program coordinator for the Pembroke Historical Society, made a formal presentation on the 1871 hymn “Jesus, Saviour, Pilot Me,” placing it into the context of a whaleman who sailed out of the New York port of Sag Harbor during the 1840s. Then, on Sunday morning, Stephen was one of the leaders for a hymn sing that featured revival hymns and gospel songs with maritime themes. As a U.S. Navy veteran, he was honored to lead the singing of “Eternal Father, Strong to Save,” better known as “The Navy Hymn.” Also attending the Mystic Seaport event were Kris Paprocki, music teacher at the Pembroke, Perry and Charlotte schools, and Jim Sherman, of the Machiasport Historical Society. For information on maritime hymns and songs, contact Dr. Sanfilippo at seasonghistory@gmail. com.
