For a “Shore” Sale For a “Shore” Sale
Town Meeting (continued from page 104) this town are vaccinated. We need to act to protect our young children and the healthcompromised among us. The town warrant would mandate masking and require proof of vaccination for everyone eligible when indoors in any public place. This may seem harsh, but do we really have a choice?”
No choice? What did Ned know about this town? He wasn’t from here. He’d only moved here after retiring from one of Portland’s well-heeled law firms. He wasn’t here when the mill closed. He didn’t see local stores on Main Street replaced by sleepy antique shops that some of us in town suspected were a front for drugs. He idolized rural life just because he’d spent some childhood summers “in the country,” and called himself a “gentleman farmer,” whatever that meant.
“It’s so quaint—I love it here,” Ned had said when he brought his Volvo in for an oil change at Jacob’s garage. “I just bought the Townsend farm out by the lake. You know the place?” “Yes,” Jacob said. “I know the place.”
Ned addressed the crowded, murmuring hall: “Do I hear a second? Thank you! Now who supports this warrant?”
Jacob looked around. Who the hell were all these yeas? Most likely the urban transplants who kept moving to Rockledge, buying up camps down on the lake from locals cashing out. Some of these were family places owned for decades. Knock down the old to build the new.
Ned lapped up all the support. This in a town where Jacob was by no means the only resident who didn’t believe in COVID,

calling it a hoax or saying it wasn’t that bad, refusing to wear masks or get vaccinated as a badge of their independence.
“Opposed?”
Silence. Jacob caught several of his friends without masks lowering their heads as if to inspect their hands. Are you looking at the dirt under your fingernails? Why don’t you speak?
He swallowed. I need to say what I came here to say. Even if some of these people speak better than me, look down on me. He didn’t own a $70,000 foreign car and didn’t think he was particularly good-looking— not like Ned with his silvered hair. He’d barely graduated from high school—he didn’t have the smarts. His marriage to his high-school girlfriend hadn’t lasted long, and his ex had custody of their son. He did what he could as a mechanic—tried to make it work.
He unfolded a crumpled envelope, grease marks on the edges, and started to read: “I was one of those who went down to that impeachment rally in Augusta last year to protest for my rights. Governor Mills had no business tell-
ing me how to breathe, and neither do you, Ned. God gave me that right. And now you want to require me to be vaccinated?” He sensed his voice growing louder, glimpsed spittle projecting from his mouth. “I’m no lawyer like you, Ned, but to me these mandates trample on my liberties. It’s been bad enough during this pandemic—you want to make it worse?”
Jacob sat when he felt his arms shaking, receiving nods of approval from many in attendance. He cursed himself for getting emotional but could see that the resolution was now in jeopardy and was not surprised Ned decided to table the motion to avoid defeat, saying the matter needed more study.
As the hall emptied, Jacob ran into Maybell, the elderly town clerk who in a prior career had taught him in second grade.
“It was brave of you to speak up, Jacob,” she said. “You’re a good boy, and I’ll always be grateful for all you did for me after my husband passed.”
“Thank you, Maybell. It’s nice to see you looking so well.”
Heading for his truck, Jacob saw Ned bearing down on him. He turned away, but as he did, heard a gasp and saw Ned fall hard on the black ice. That’s what happens when you just walk on city streets. But he quickly knelt and helped Ned to his feet.
“Thanks, Jacob.” Ned seemed shaken, slightly disoriented. “I don’t know you well, but you shouldn’t take this all so personally.”
Jacob stiffened. “It is personal—very personal! You want to cover my mouth and inject me so my genes are changed? It doesn’t get more personal than that.”
“More personal than losing your wife?” Ned’s eyes were tired, haunted.
Jacob stopped short. Rumor had it that Ned’s wife had come down with COVID and died less than a year after his retirement.
“We were married forty years, but I wasn’t allowed to be at her side to hold her hand when she passed. I just don’t want—” Ned’s voice went ragged. “I don’t want anyone else to go through that.”
Jacob had heard some folks in town say Ned had a good heart. Maybe it was true. n
