Kirk Memorial Music Fund Concert to Feature the “Real Deal” Don't miss Paul Rishell and Annie Raines tonight, Friday, August 9th at 8:00 PM at the Tabernacle. Last week we told you a bit about the duo featuring Annie's background. Here is some more definitive information on Paul. “Paul Rishell was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1950. At the age of 13, captivated by a recording of Son House singing “County Farm Blues,” Rishell began a lifelong study of prewar blues and its progenitors. He moved to Cambridge, Massachusetts in the early 1970!s and began to perform with and learn from blues greats such as Son House, Johnny Shines, Sonny Terry, Brownie McGhee, Howlin! Wolf, John Lee Hooker, and Buddy Guy. In 1990 he released the critically acclaimed BLUES ON A HOLIDAY and partnered up with Raines while recording his second album, SWEAR TO TELL THE TRUTH. Rishell!s original music has been used in plays, films, and countless television shows including Friends, Oprah, and A&E!s Biography. After nearly 50 years of practicing his craft, he is a treasure trove of American roots music history and techniques, which he shares in performance, in his instructional video “Dirt Road Blues,” (Truefire, 2008) and on his new CD "TALKING GUITAR.! He is now passing the torch to the next generation as a Visiting Artist at Berklee College of Music in Boston.” Join us this evening in welcoming a fine pair of musicians. They are truly the "real deal" and should not be missed. A fun and enjoyable show is in store for all of us. paulandannie.com -Tom Kirk and the Kirk family
RED LILY POND PROJECT ASSOCIATION DINNER AND AUCTION Just a reminder that Saturday evening is the Red Lily Pond Dinner and Auction. We will see you at 5:30 PM at the cocktail hour for wine and hors d'oeuvres on the Green, in the Inn living room if (shhh!) rain should occur. Dinner will be in the delightful air-conditioned Inn dining room, decorated with little sparkling lights in the windows and candles on the tables. Bring your checkbook so you can buy all the silent and live auction items. We've got some great things this year. See you there!

Tabernacle is “Opening the Doors” Have you noticed the picture on the Craigville Tabernacle posters and Sunday morning worship bulletin covers this year? Taken by Ellen Cardarelli, it has one big difference from previous years’ pictures: the doors to the Tabernacle are open. This new picture reflects the CCMA Religious Activities and Tabernacle Committee’s theme for all the Sunday worship services during the summer of 2013: “Hospitality.” This Sunday’s service “opens a new door” for worship at the Tabernacle—the sermon will be preached by Rev. Bruce Smith (a Baptist Minister) and Rev. Deacon David Akin (an Ordained Permanent Deacon in the Roman Catholic Church). Their sermon, entitled “Opening the Doors” will explore how Protestant and Roman Catholic clergy and laity work hand in hand on Cape Cod (and beyond!) to translate their Christian faith into action to serve the world—including our neighbors. Visitors and residents often comment on the sense of community that Craigville embodies. Community is hard to define—but we know it when we experience it. Many have worked together to plan this “Ecumenical Worship Service.” The intent is to gather the community to praise God, to celebrate the ties that define community, to hear and sing great music, to pray together: all affirmations that the Tabernacle doors, open to the world, represent Craigville at its best. Come and worship—9:45 AM in the Tabernacle!

THE OLD CRAIGVILLE POST OFFICE The rain “slickers” are on reorder but we still have plenty of other goodies for you to check out. The weeks seem to be slipping by too quickly so don’t forget to stop by and check out all of our stock. #Debbie Almy, Chair, Post Office Committee !! ! ! !! Plugging the Leak in the Dam The Fish Ladder in the herring run has developed leaks around the bulkheads that control the graduated levels that deliver water from Lake Elizabeth to the herring run stream. The Fish Ladder worked well for 5 years after it was constructed until we experienced major storms and numerous unusual rain events. Tom Hoppensteadt, Craigville resident, Red Lily Pond Project Association Board Member and Mashpee High School biology teacher, organized a repair with teenage young men attending the annual Family Camp at the Retreat Center. Six young men volunteered to build a barrier to keep water directed to the flume on the second tier bulkhead. With Tom Hoppensteadt supervising and with Tom Kirk and Scott Lane assisting, a bucket brigade was formed to move 50-pound bags of sand and gravel and cement blocks to construct an effective barrier. The project was fun and a great volunteer effort. The young men were very interested in the project and learned how the Herring Run migration works into and out of the pond. They also observed the numerous fish and glass eels that dwell in the pond. #Jim Lane, Red Lily Pond Project Board Member

Tabernacle Daylilies Thank you to all who helped deadhead and trim the daylilies at the Tabernacle. The job was a lot easier this summer because of all who helped keep everything looking beautiful: Myra Gooding, Concie Danforth, Dede Underwood, Barbara Ireland, and Martha Sheehy. If I have forgotten someone I apologize but appreciate all you did anyway. Thank you all! #Valerie Lane

WEATHERWIZE: AIR QUALITY INDEX (AQI) BY DOPPLER DEBBIE (ALMY) Another heat-related weather term you hear about in the summer is the AQI or Air Quality Index, which most certainly affects you on a very hot day, even though you might not be aware of it. The AQI is an index to tell you daily how clean or polluted the air you are breathing is and if any associated health issues might concern you. The EPA calculates the AQI for five major air pollutants regulated by the Clean Air Act: ground-level ozone, particle pollution (also known as particulate matter), carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide. Ground-level ozone and airborne particles are the two pollutants that pose the greatest threat to human health, particularly for people with asthma or any respiratory conditions. Think of the AQI as a yardstick with a scale from 0-500. The higher the AQI, the greater the health concern, so an AQI of 50 means good air quality, while an AQI of 100 is satisfactory. Any number above 100 is considered unhealthy, and all outdoor activities should be altered accordingly. What causes the Ozone pollution? Emissions from local industry, gasoline-powered vehicles and lawn equipment, household paints, stains and solvents. Why then do we not hear about the AQI in the winter? It is still there, as is the pollution, but summer temperatures and diminished winds tend to “cook” the ground-level ozone, worsening the condition. Can you “see” this dirty or stagnant air? Yes you can, but usually only in the warmer months. Where do you go to see this effect? From a high hill overlooking Boston, or any city, you will see a layer of dark air that looks like a large low level cloud. That is also known as the “Heat Blanket”, for that polluted air, with all the dirt particles inside it, holds in all the heat generated by planes, trains, busses, cars and industry. Boston may be at least 5˚ warmer than the suburbs, unless a sea breeze has kicked-in to cool the city. Any wind will help to diffuse the pollution, so that the particles do not have a chance to sit and do their job; so wish for a windy day in the summer to help with the AQI.
