September has been a spectacular month weather-wise with numerous activities occurring in and around town. Harborfest, the Clawdown and the Charities Classic Golf Tournament have all been held this past month. Congratulations to Ben Betts who was voted best music at the Harborfest. Ben has been busy performing at the Farmer’s Market and Rocktide all summer and into the fall.

 Tony Krason and his committee provided another successful Charities Classic Golf Tournament. The winning team, with a score of 18 under par, were Ocean Pointers Dan Shea and Will Bertrand along with team members Matt Bellisle, Shane Stewart and Hall of Famer Roger Wehrli of the St Louis Cardinals.
Link Brown and Lanny Whitehouse generously gave their time to assist at the tournament.

Congratulations to Jason Plummer and Ashley Long on the birth of their son Colin Gerald born August 18, Congratulations to grandparents Nancy and Gerry Plummer and great grandparents Carlton and Joan Plummer as well.

Jean and John Webster have returned from New York where Jean’s sister Roni was in need of double bypass surgery; Roni is reported to be recuperating nicely. Kim (Webster) Godsey and her husband Michael are visiting their daughter Grace at Elon University where she is a freshman and Stephen Webster was recently in Mexico City judging a beauty contest.

On a sad note, long time Ocean Pointer Olympia Smith Tebalt died last week at her home in Greenville, South Carolina. Olympia spent many summers here at the Point with her family. Our condolences to Olympia’s mother Mary, her husband Michael her four children Michael, Jackie, Jill, Joshua and her brothers Charles, Floyd, Louis Robert and Leigh as well as her seven grandchildren.

The “pumpkin people” are beginning to appear in East Boothbay so we’ll look forward to witnessing the creative spirit of the participants as the month of October progresses.

Have a great week!!
