York Beach Nevada motel reborn: Iconic landmark reopens with modern makeover
YORK, Maine — Joe Lipton walked along his newly renovated Nevada Motel with its third-story addition as a neighbor called from her deck to give him well wishes.
“It’s been great, everybody’s happy,” Lipton yells back to the woman, who hollered in response she has “watched the whole process” of revitalizing the 1950s-era motel.
“That’s what it’s been like this whole time,” Lipton said, having just completed the project after two years of planning and construction. “Everybody walking by, so happy we did what we did.”
The Nevada’s website went live Monday, offering 21 rooms overlooking Long Sands Beach. The motel includes York’s newest tiki restaurant, Lulu’s, which will soon be open to more than just hotel guests.
The project brings the original Nevada Motel back to life after it was sold by the family of its original owner, Henry de la Pena, who opened the hotel in 1951. Lipton and his wife, Michelle Friar, maintained the building’s shape, imitating the flybridge of a battleship like the one on which de la Pena served.

What’s new at the Nevada Motel at Long Sands Beach?
New are the modern amenities added by Lipton and Friar, as well as a raising of the first floor and a new interior for access to the second and third-floor rooms rather from the outside like a traditional motel. Rooms have also been made more spacious because of the third-story expansion, allowing each unit to be bumped out to more square footage. The room count was also reduced by two to make those units more spacious.
The hallways of the Nevada feature acrylic and digital artwork from two local artists, as well as music and lighting. The front lawn of the motel was once open grass and now features gardens, outdoor dining and steps to guests’ rooms.
The Nevada will feature a shuttle service exclusively for guests to the ViewPoint Hotel, also owned by Lipton and Friar, on Nubble Road so guests can enjoy the outdoor restaurant A Little Auk. Those staying at the ViewPoint will also have access to the shuttle to get to the Nevada, which is only a short walk from the couple’s third hotel and restaurant, Stones Throw.
Lipton said the project at the Nevada was about revitalizing one of Long Sands Beach’s iconic structures and preventing it from being turned into residential units.
“Keeping the feeling of the Nevada and giving it a rebirth,” Lipton said, “And not doing something like condos.”

Nevada Motel revitalized with new Tiki Restaurant
The restaurant Lulu’s, named for Lipton and Friar’s daughter Lucy and her childhood nickname, features Mexican and Polynesian food. Tiki-style restaurants and décor became popular in the 1950s, and Lipton said the Pacific Rim theme went well with the Nevada’s naval element.
Lulu’s focuses less on imagery like native tiki masks and more on the connection between food and nature. On the menu is a raw bar with ceviche, rice and noodle bowls and al pastor – pork cooked vertically, rotating underneath a pineapple from which juice flows down.
Lipton said Lulu’s is open to hotel guests but still needs approval from the Planning Board to be open to the public. Lipton is seeking that approval, but in the meantime, he said he is giving out one-day complimentary guest passes so visitors can get a taste of Lulu’s.
“We can give people a day pass, and now they’re guests of the hotel,” Lipton said, “And they can come in and enjoy the restaurant.”
What’s next for Nevada owners?
Now having three hotels with accompanying restaurants, Lipton and Friar say they plan to take a break from new projects for at least one year to enjoy what they’ve accomplished. They said they still intend to finish the spa at the ViewPoint this year, featuring a hot tub, sauna, cold plunge, fire pits, couples massages and treatments. That project will be completed by late August or early September, Lipton said.
Lipton and Friar say they have focused on projects they thought would not only be successful but also places they would hang out themselves. Lipton said he does not know what opportunity will present itself next, but he said he has been motivated to open businesses that add to the community where he has lived since he was 8 years old.
“Our look at doing things is, what are we creating in the community that’s going to be here after we’re gone,” Lipton said. “This is our form of art. This is how we express ourselves, and then people can enjoy it.”

Odd and beguiling ‘Rose of Nevada’ will haunt viewers
The dilapidated fishing vessel from which “Rose of Nevada” takes its name disappeared into the sea off the coast of Cornwall, England, in 1993, bringing with it two members of a shorthanded crew. A young fisherman who had called out sick that day later died by suicide; some speculate because of survivor’s guilt. There’s a lot of speculation about that old boat. It was the kind of tragedy from which a tight-knit community never really recovers, and this quaint Cornish fishing village has since been stricken by decades of poverty and rot. Now, 33 years later, the Rose has mysteriously returned. It just showed up, ship-shape and empty, sitting there in the harbor one misty Monday morning. All she needs now is another crew.
How and why the boat returned is not for me to say, nor are such matters of much concern to writer-director Mark Jenkin. A time travel adventure with the cadence of a ghost story, “Rose of Nevada” haunts the viewer like the sound of a faint, distant horn on a foggy night. George MacKay stars as Nick, a loving husband and doting dad who has been out of work for some time now. He’s also a bit of a dummy, caving in their apartment’s roof while trying to patch a leak during a rainstorm. Nick finds himself crewing the Rose out of financial necessity — he’s literally trying to put a roof over his family’s heads — while Callum Turner’s gruff drifter Liam comes aboard seemingly because he’s got nothing better to do.
Any other movie would probably try to explain exactly how these boys return from their maiden voyage with a robust catch to find themselves transported back to 1993. They discover their little town thriving and keep running into younger, happier versions of characters we’ve met in the miserable present. Everyone seems to know who Nick and Liam are, but they’re calling them different names. It’s as if the two have somehow stepped into the shoes of those doomed crewmembers from 33 years ago, brought back here by the Rose either to fix history or repeat it.
Part of what makes the movie so mesmerizing is Jenkin’s artisanal approach. He shoots on an ancient, hand-cranked 16mm Bolex camera — a model slightly less advanced than what my film school class was using three decades ago. Jenkin leans into the grainy imperfections of the image, keeping in all the scratches and light leaks that professional labs and technicians typically scrub out. It’s impossible to capture synchronized sound with this equipment, so background noises and the necessarily sparse dialogue are added later in post-production, lending an eerie, uncanny quality to the proceedings.
The set of self-imposed limitations creates its own aesthetic. Jenkin’s hand-cranked camera won’t run for more than 28 seconds at a time, forcing him to tell the story in a series of punchy, discrete images. Instead of wide establishing shots, he favors tight closeups made even more claustrophobic by 16mm’s boxy 1.33 aspect ratio. Our brains assemble the scenes almost like a mental jigsaw puzzle, getting a full sense of the boat without ever getting a complete look at it. Same goes for the town. It’s amazing how many gaps your mind fills in for you when prompted properly.
Jenkin takes a similar approach to the screenplay, allowing rhyming images and visual cues to provide most of the exposition. I went back and watched the movie a second time to try and understand how I always felt like I knew what was happening, even though I couldn’t possibly explain what was going on. The rhythms of the picture feel almost like a dream, obeying their own strict logic that locks in perfectly at the end. Jenkin’s previous picture, the cryptic Cornish island folk tale “Enys Men,” tried similar tactics, but with annoying, off-putting results. Two of the reasons this film connects so much better are the appealing lead performances by MacKay and Turner, a couple of genuine movie stars with whom we are happy to get lost at sea.
MacKay made no impression at all in the insipid, Oscar-winning World War I gimmick film “1917,” but has since revealed himself to be one of our most adventurous young actors. He was electrifying as a bi-curious, homophobic hooligan in the 2024 Boston Underground Film Festival favorite “Femme,” and nailed multiple roles from swoon-worthy stud to psychopathic incel stalker in Bertrand Bonello’s brain-melting “The Beast.” There’s a performative aspect when most actors play dumb, a theatricality that reminds the audience they’re actually smarter than the character. As our stranded family man Nick, MacKay offers no such condescension. He’s a dim bulb with a big heart in an unfathomable situation; his eyes sometimes touchingly, hilariously blank. So much is already beyond Nick, and then all this happens.
Most readers probably know Turner as Mr. Dua Lipa. For those who have trouble keeping track of their cute British boys, he’s the jug-eared, scruffy one who isn’t Josh O’Connor. I’ve never understood the hubbub about this guy, but he won me over here. It’s tough to recall a character in a science-fiction story quite like Liam, who, when experiencing something as foundation-shattering as time travel, figures, “Sure, why not?” and rolls with it. MacKay has some hilarious reaction shots to his screen partner’s blithe acceptance of their new reality. Though I suppose it helps that in this alternate 1993 timeline, Liam winds up with a beautiful wife and daughter, while Nick just gets stuck with overbearing parents.
I’ve been turning over the movie’s ending in my mind for a couple of weeks. “Rose of Nevada” comes to a conclusion both hopeful and bittersweet, depending on how you want to read it. This is an odd, beguiling film that doesn’t look or sound like anything else you’ll see in theaters this year. The raggedly beautiful imagery is a feast of rust and decay, the film itself dinged up like it’s followed the boat here from a distant, mysterious time.
“Rose of Nevada” opens at the Coolidge Corner Theatre on Friday, July 10.

UNR tests whether cow manure can help restore Nevada landscapes after wildfires
After decades of cheatgrass-fueled wildfires across Nevada, researchers at the University of Nevada, Reno are testing whether cattle can help restore damaged rangelands by spreading native seeds as they graze.
Cheatgrass, an invasive plant common across the Great Basin, dries out early and can fuel larger wildfires, making it harder for native vegetation to return. UNR postdoctoral scholar William Richardson said the plant helps create a self-reinforcing cycle.
“Cheatgrass grows, it creates more wildfires, that allows more cheatgrass to grow, and it becomes a bigger and bigger issue. That’s why we’re seeing all these mega fires spreading across the Great Basin,” Richardson said.
The challenge continues after flames are out. In Nevada’s arid climate, native plants can struggle to reestablish, while cheatgrass often returns quickly.

“We struggle with getting five to eight inches of rain a year. Trying to restore a native community in those very arid conditions are extremely difficult,” Richardson said.

Ranchers already use targeted grazing to reduce cheatgrass. Now, UNR researchers are studying whether cattle can also help reseed the landscape. The approach mixes native grass seeds into protein supplements cattle already eat. Researchers then track whether the seeds can survive digestion and be spread naturally across the range after being deposited in manure.
“We’re already using cattle to combat cheatgrass through targeted grazing, and the ultimate goal is to bring native species back across the landscape, so why don’t we combine those two ideas?” Richardson said.
In lab testing, researchers evaluated special seed coatings designed to help some seeds survive a cow’s digestive system. The results showed certain species could make it through the process and still germinate after being deposited in manure, Richardson said, though some seeds need more protection than others.

“Some species naturally have a very thin seed coat and require more protection, while others can go through the gut of a cow easy peasy lemon squeezy,” he said.
The project is expected to move into field testing this fall at Horseshoe Ranch near Eureka, where researchers will track whether seeds can not only survive digestion but also establish new plants on the landscape.
“It’s a passive way to restore the landscape. Instead of having to go in with a tractor or seed from an airplane, you can use cows that are already there,” Richardson said.

Researchers said the method is not intended to replace traditional restoration work, but to add another tool for land managers and ranchers. If the field trials are successful, they said the approach could eventually help restore thousands — or even hundreds of thousands — of acres across the Great Basin.
