FEATURE EVENT
L-A Community Little Theatre Camp’s ‘Wizard,’ ‘Frozen, Jr.,’ are July 19-21 AUBURN — The Lewiston Auburn Community Little Theatre’s Summer Theatre Youth Camp will present “The Wizard of Oz,” young performers edition and “Frozen, Jr” on July 19, 20 and 21. Each show will be presented twice with alternating matinee and weekend performances, beginning with “Frozen, Jr.” at 7 p.m. Friday, July 19, and ending with Frank Baum’s “Wizard of Oz” at 2 p.m. Sunday, July 21. In between, Disney’s “Frozen, Jr.” plays at 2 p.m. Saturday and “The Wizard of Oz,” at 7 p. m The LACLT Summer Theatre Camp is a four-week program divided into ages 8-12 and those 13 to 17. “We teach all aspects of theater from backstage to on-stage including auditioning skills, stage etiquette, choreography, vocal music and blocking,” said director Jennifer McClure Groover. “In essence, it means a full -scale musical with specific focus on developing a respect for the
art of the theater.” She added, “When the curtain goes up for ‘Wizard’ or ‘Frozen, Jr,’ the students are totally on their own.” Teen counselors play major roles in the success of the camp, said teen director Ashley G. Hodgkin. “Each of the six teen counselors supervis-
es, nurtures and supports six to eight pre-teens throughout the four-week camp.” Maddy Vaillancourt, one of the teen counselors, who is in her fourth year, said, “It’s a really cool way to make a lot of new friends while increasing our theater know-how.” She will play
the Wicked Witch in ‘The Wizard of Oz.’” Pre-teen camp student Brock Rancourt, 12, said, “When I heard about ‘Frozen, Jr.,’ I was super-pumped. I wanted to be Olaf. It’s so fun to be here with friends.” A total of 65 teens and pre-teens will take part when
the two shows hit the stage. “Frozen, Jr.” is directed by Groover, with Myrand Michaud as producer. Linda Vaillancourt and Hodgkin handle music and choreography. “The Wizard of Oz” is directed by Hodgkin, produced by Linda Rombalski,
with music by Emily Flynn and choreography by Lacey Moyse. The shows are sponsored by the long-time support of the The Lewiston-Auburn’s Children Foundation, in line with its mission to support youth education in the Lewiston-Auburn communities.

Annual ‘hex hatch’ brings out the trout V. Paul Reynolds A hex, or if your Latin is good, a Hexagenia limbata, is a bomber-size Mayfly that shows up on Maine trout ponds in mid-summer, usually early July. For a trout, they are a turkey dinner with all the fixin’s — a chance to get the most amount of food for the least amount of effort. To a trout-loving fly fishermen, a hex hatch is an adrenaline rush — a sight to behold. Infact, like a solar eclipse or an expanse of northern lights in the winter sky, a true hex hatch on a trout pond counts as one of those special moments in nature. Truth is my experience with hex hatches can be counted on one hand. Still, one July hex encounter stands out in my memory. Diane and I were camped at one of Wiggie Robinson’s favorite trout ponds
in early July. The fishing had been slow all day. Then just before dark the hexes began to bust through the still surface of the pond. Soon the pond was covered with these big-winged, lime-green duns. It looked like a flotilla of small sailboats “in irons,” becalmed by the dying breeze. Blup, Blup, Blup. The feeding began and the pond was peppered with surface feeding trout dimples wherever you looked. The trout gorged themselves for about an hour. They also took our big White Wulffs without hesitation. Then the hexes disappeared as fast as they came on, and the fishing slowed accordingly. There is an ongoing debate among Maine anglers about what to call these big bugs. Anglers who know a lot more about entomology than I do say that most of us misname the hex, calling it a “Green Drake,” as in “Hey, Joe. You really missed it. As soon as the sun went behind the mountain, the pond was covered with Green Drakes. A wicked hatch! Never seen anything to beat it.”
So the question is, I guess, “When is a Green Drake a Green Drake, and when is a Hex a Hex?” You don’t care? Well, in that case, you’re probably just a casual fly fisher of trout. Those of us, whose heroes are fly fishing entomologists, like to know our bugs, for that is how you get to know your trout and how best to seduce them. I put the aforementioned question to Tom Fuller, a seasoned fly fisher, outdoor writer, author, and aspiring entomologist, who has written an informative new book, “Eastern Hatches.” Fishing with Fuller is a learning experience. In late May, after getting skunked at one of my favorite trout ponds, we wound up throwing popping bugs at pickerel and crappies at Hermon Pond. Warm-water angling can be a nice change of pace for trout fanatics. The pressure is off; conversation comes easy. Here is his answer: “The differences between the Eastern Green Drake (3 tails on the dun) and the Hex hatch (two tails on the dun) are at best subtle. The
Eastern has mottled wings, the Hex doesn’t have the mottling, but does have veins. Coloration and size really depend on the waters, where they’re found, and the fertility. The real difference is the double gills found on body segment #1 on the hex. The Eastern nymph has single gills on body segments 1 through 7.” As Fuller pointed out, when these big bugs are onthe water, the fish are really fired up and just about any big pattern will work. Wulffs, a large Adams, or a Hornberg never disappoint when the hex hatch is on. Or, if you are lucky enough to be on the good side of Greenville’s fishing fisheries biologist,Tim Obrey, he may grace your fly box with a timely gift — a lethal fly he ties called a “Sexy Hexy.” As always the best of trout fishing in Maine begins to fade as summer comes on and water temperatures drive the brookies deep into the spring holes, but there is still time, especially because of the late spring and slow-warming waters. The farther north
in Maine you go, the more likely that the favorable water temperatures will hold a while longer. Who knows? You might get lucky and get in on a Green Drake hatch during a cloudy, humid day. If it happens, you won’t soon forget it. The author is editor of the Northwoods Sporting
Journal. He is also a Maine guide and host of a weekly radio program, “Maine Outdoors,” heard at 7 p.m. Sundays on The Voice of Maine News-Talk Network. He has authored three books; online purchase information is available at www.maineoutdoorpublications.net.

Spring & Summer SPECTACULAR Pool safety starts with prevention Pools make some backyards the places to be in late spring and throughout summer. Lazy summer afternoons are a lot more enjoyable when they’re spent in or alongside a pool, and kids tend to say “I’m bored” with considerably less frequency when a pool is within arm’s reach.
owners to inspect all pedestrian gates in the barrier fences around their pools. Such gates should be self-closing and self-latching, as both features ensure gates are always closed. In addition, the ICC recommends padlocking other gates around the property.
Pool safety need not come at the expense of summer fun. In fact, homeowners can employ various preventive measures to reduce the risk of pool-related accidents on their properties.
· Remove objects around pedestrian gates. Kids can climb up on chairs, tables, large toys, and other objects left around pool gates to gain access to pools even when their parents aren’t looking or even home. Such items should be removed.
· Inspect gates around your pool. The International Code Council®, a member-focused association dedicated to the construction of safe, sustainable, affordable, and resilient structures, advises home-

· Install a pool alarm. Pool alarms can alert homeowners to accidental or unauthorized entrance into the water. The ICC recommends installing such alarms while noting that they should not be considered a substitute for barrier fences or safety covers. · Install automatic or manually operated pool covers. Pool covers can effectively prevent access to pools, spas or hot tubs. At the end of each pool session, cover the pool, even during the height of summer when pools are used daily. The minor task of covering the pool is worth the considerably lower risk of accident or injury if pools remain uncovered. Summer afternoons at the pool can be made much safer by adhering to a few safety tips.

Evergreen Golf Club Tip of the Week Maxine Estelle Sargent OBITUARY
Everybody misses short putts one time or another and I have heard hundreds of tips that address this important subject. First, you must have real confidence in your ability to make these putts. One thing you can work on is not to peek at the ball leaving the putter, your eyes must stay looking down at the place where the ball was prior to the putt. Watch the pros, their heads stay motionless, that is very important. Just one more thing. When aiming the putt, focus on one blade of grass at the back of the cup and visualize an imaginary line to your ball, by focusing on such a small target it can make the hole appear larger. I hope these tips help your fear of short misses and don’t forget the saying, “If you’re good with the short putts, the long ones will take care of themselves”.

FARMINGTON — Area high school field hockey fans are in for another treat this summer when Franklin Memorial Hospital hosts the annual Battle for Breast Cancer — a round-robin benefit field hockey event — taking place at Thomas College in Waterville Saturday, July 13, from 2 to 8 p.m. Now in its ninth year, more than $200,000 has been raised since 2011 to benefit the Martha B. Webber Breast Care Center, a program of Franklin Memorial Hospital in Farmington. Diagnostic breast imaging, biopsies, lab services, surgical consultations, and post-surgical garments are just some of the examples of how the money has been used.” “Money raised is used to support those with breast cancer living in Central Maine with (their) health care costs as well as practical
resources for patients such as gas cards and help with child care which may impact patient care,” said organizer Paula Doughty. “Last year we started a program with platinum thru bronze sponsorship opportunities for businesses or individuals, which provides sponsors with special recognition in the event’s program and during the opening ceremony.” The July 13 benefit tournament features 11 Central Maine high school field hockey teams — Skowhegan, Messalonskee, Mt.

PUBLIC WI-FI SCAMS
Are you using public Wi-Fi? Free Wi-Fi is a great convenience, but it can be risky. Scammers can set up a Wi-Fi network with a name similar to the one you’re intending to use, hoping you’ll connect to it, or they can hijack your information between you and the Wi-Fi access point. Do no more than checking the weather or browsing sports scores; otherwise, hackers can steal your passwords, see your
email, or intercept financial transactions. Make sure your device isn’t set to connect to WiFi automatically. When on public WiFi, use your device’s data service or install a “virtual private network” (VPN) to protect yourself while using public Wi-Fi. Be a fraud fighter! If you can spot a scam, you can stop a scam. Visit the AARP Fraud Watch Network at www.aarp.org/fraudwatchnetwork or call the AARP Fraud Watch Network Helpline at 1-877-908-3360 to report a scam or get help if you’ve fallen victim.

MOVIE REVIEW
Spider-Man: Far from Home
Lucas Allen (Columbia Pictures/Marvel Studios) It’s a great time to be a Spider-Man fan. Between his appearances in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the Oscar-winning animated film “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse,” Stan Lee and Steve Ditko’s legendary teen superhero is flying higher than ever on the big screen. After his appearances in the last two Avengers movies, Spidey returns for
his second solo film in the MCU with “Spider-Man: Far from Home. “ With the same creative team as “Spider-Man: Homecoming,” the sequel will have to go farther than they did to impress us much more. Peter Parker (Tom Holland) returns to New York after being gone from The Snap for five years while dealing with the aftermath of “Avengers: Endgame.” He and his classmates are taking a special school trip around Europe, which means a chance for him to share his feelings for MJ (Zendaya) he’s been pining for. But things don’t go as well as planned when another student, Brad (Remy Hii), is also after MJ, and his best friend Ned (Jacob Batalon) is paying more attention to Betty (Angourie Rice). Things get crazier when Spi-

dey is brought in by Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) to combat a growing problem the world is facing. It seems The Snap has caused a rip in the universe that unleashed some cosmic beings, the Elementals, who consist of air, water and fire. To combat that, a man from an alternate Earth named Quentin Beck (AKA Mysterio) (Jake Gyllenhaal) arrives to help our heroes using his cosmic powers to destroy them. Although it’s nice he’s working with another hero, Parker still feels under Tony Stark’s shadow that he could be the next Iron Man. Now Spidey will have to prove himself to be more than that when he discovers deception and evil that he never expected. It should be no surprise that this is another really good Spider-Man movie,
especially from the good folks at Marvel Studios. But with the shadow of Endgame hovering over it, the movie manages to add some emotional depth to the story between the characters and the action scenes. When you watch the main character go through one event after another, you still have that emotional connection to him that’s essential in any Spidey movie. No matter if the movie is live-action or animated, it’s easy to get into this superhero universe and not want to leave it. Much like “Homecoming,” there’s a genuine mix of action and comedy at a level of an ‘80s John Hughes high school film. With the change in location from New York to Europe, it gives the filmmakers a chance to expand on what made the previous film a
success, while doing something different in an action-packed story. Not only do they succeed in all fronts, but they also add some human drama along with some twists to make it better than before. The real kicker happens in the mid-credits scene that contains both a surprise cameo and what’s to come in Phase 4 of the MCU. Thanks to his recent appearances in the Avengers films, Holland continues to evolve with his performance as both the awkward teenager and the emotionally conflicted hero. We finally get to see his vulnerable side as he deals with mounting problems that affects him as a character. Gyllenhaal deserves kudos in the role of Mysterio with the Oscar-nominated actor using his best acting ability to give the character different layers

of his personality. Marisa Tomei and Jon Favreau also return as Aunt May and Happy Hogan respectively this time in a relationship subplot that generates plenty of giggles. With “Spider-Man: Far from Home,” the character remains the Marvel fan-favorite audiences have come to love. It’s also the best Spider-Man film since the 2002 Sam Raimi original that launched the character into a global phenomenon. Plus after the shocking mid-credits scene, it would be interesting where the character will go next in the MCU whether in his solo movies or in other films. THE MOVIE’S RATING: PG-13 (for sci-fi action/violence, some language, and brief suggestive comments) THE CRITIC’S RATING: 3.75 Stars (Out of Four)
