Governor Mills Unveils Moving Maine Forward Plan AUGUSTA Governor Janet Mills unveiled a plan to protect public health and support Maine’s economy as the state approaches its busy spring and summer tourism season. The Moving Maine Forward plan maintains critical health and safety protocols that have protected Maine people over the past year, establishes a clear time frame to increase capacity limits to support economic activity, and standardizes these limits across sectors by transitioning to a simple model based on percentage of capacity. The plan also revises Maine’s travel policies established

last summer under the Keep Maine Healthy Program and sets a target reopening date of March 26 for indoor service at bars. The new, multi-month plan, which reflects the stabilization of Maine’s COVID-19 metrics and

progress in vaccinations, aims to provide clarity and predictability for Maine people and businesses to plan for the summer months and establish Maine as a safe place to visit. The Moving Maine Forward

Plan is composed of the following three tenets: The plan maintains the critical public health and safety protocols – like wearing face coverings, keeping physical distance, and conducting enhanced cleaning – implemented in part through COVID-19 Prevention Checklists and requirements for Maine schools. These industryspecific protocols, which are critical to keeping business and school operations safe for Maine people, will remain in effect throughout the summer. Simplifying and standardizing capacity limits and establishing a clear time frame: The plan

transitions Maine’s capacity limits from hard caps in most situations to a straightforward percentage of capacity model. It also establishes a clear time frame to increase these capacity limits, providing Maine businesses with predictability to plan. The time frame and capacity adjustments are as follows: For indoor gatherings, the percentage of capacity will increase to 50% starting March 26 and 75% starting May 24; For outdoor gatherings, the percentage of capacity will increase to 75% starting March 26 and 100% starting See FORWARD page 4...

It was in 1997 as an undergraduate biology student that Ed first saw the BBC documentary film “Attenborough in Paradise.” That film, which was the result of Sir David Attenborough’s lifelong passion for the birds-of-paradise, was the first to capture these birds’ wonder and beauty in any depth. The film inspired Edwin to devote his career

BCTV Releases Second “Project Remembrance” Video

BERWICK Berwick Community Television has released the second program in its “Project Remembrance” series, an interview with Sgt. Bryan D. English, USMC 1980-1988, and USAR 1990-1992. English, a Berwick resident, was born in Atlanta, GA, and graduated from high school in Anderson, SC, in 1980. The next month he joined the Marines and went to basic training at Parris Island in South Carolina. After further training as an F-4 fighter weapons technician, he was stationed in the Western Pacific, including

Japan and Korea. There were also two deployments to Denmark. He served eight years in the Marines, being honorably discharged, and in 1990, enlisted in the US Army Reserves and went on active duty as a recruiter for two years. Project Remembrance is a tribute to past and present members of the armed forces in appreciation of the sacrifices they have made. English, 59, is the First Vice-Commander of Charles H. Hatch Post 79, America Legion. He currently works as an LPN at the Veterans Administration outpatient clinic in Somersworth, NH. English is interviewed by

Dick Moore, a member of the Berwick Community Television Committee. Moore said of the interview series, “The original idea came from my son, Ryan, but due to time constraints and raising his daughter at the time, he allowed me to follow up on it.” In conversation with Moore, English tells stories of working on busy, noisy and dangerous flight lines, loading weapons on the F-4 fighters. Moore said, “I found Bryan listed as vice-commander of the Hatch Post of the American Legion website of post officers, and when I called him, he was delighted to be asked.”

ARE YOUR ASSETS PROTECTED?

Berwick Community Television Director Terri Wright said BCTV provides a venue for residents wishing to create. Wright said, “Dick Moore has found his niche in hosting ‘Project Remembrance.’ BCTV is proud to release his most recent interview with resident and First Vice-Commander of Charles S. Hatch Post #79, Sgt. Bryan English.” Moore also hopes to interview more members of the military for the series, active duty or veterans, in any branch, with stateside or overseas service.

...FORWARD from page 1 May 24; Those businesses that have more capacity under the current policy (50 people for indoor gatherings; 100 people for outdoor gatherings; or five people per 1,000 square feet) are permitted to maintain that standard until May 24. Further, these new capacity targets can be dialed down – for example, from 75 percent capacity to 50 percent capacity – if Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention (Maine CDC) determines hospital capacity is at risk or if a new variant strain poses a significant risk to public health in Maine. The plan also establishes a target reopening date of March 26 for Maine bars and tasting rooms which will be required to operate under the Seated Food & Drink COVID-19 Checklist. Updating Maine’s Travel Policy. This new plan updates and targets Maine’s travel policy through both immediate and longterm updates that reflect changes since last summer, most notably including the introduction of vaccines. Effective immediately, the

plan: Adds Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island to the list of states exempt from the test or quarantine requirement; Exempts those who have either recently had COVID-19 or been fully vaccinated against COVID-19, regardless of their state of origin, from the test or quarantine requirement. Federal requirements related to international travel, however, remain in effect. Effective May 1, the plan shifts Maine’s travel policy requirements from an “all states included, unless exempt” model to an “all states exempt, unless included” model. This means that travelers from all states are automatically exempt unless otherwise determined by the Maine CDC. Under this new model, the Maine CDC will be charged with identifying states that have a high prevalence of highly contagious variants. If one or more states see a spike in variant cases, Maine will apply its test or quarantine requirement to travelers to and from that state. This more targeted approach will remain in effect through the summer.

DaPonte String Quartet to Perform Online Concerts

STATEWIDE On March 13, the DaPonte String Quartet will perform the music of Erwin Schulhoff. Filmed at the beautiful Rockport Opera House in January 2021, the concert release is a work by the 20th century Czech composer, Erwin Schulhoff. Schulhoff’s String Quartet No 1 is a powerful piece with elements of jazz influence, dance rhythms, and grotesquely melancholy strains. Schulhoff was influenced by the Dada movement, and believed

that “absolute art is revolution”. Once the Nazis began to rise to power, the Jewish composer was no longer able to perform in Germany. He was labeled a degener-

ate and his music was blacklisted. After his return to Czechoslovakia (now Czech Republic), his life was threatened by the German occupation. Schulhoff was granted Russian citizenship, which would allow him to emigrate to relative safety but before he could leave, he was arrested and deported to a German concentration camp where he died a year later of tuberculosis in 1942. This quartet is a four movement work. It contains interesting harmonies and requires unusual techniques of its performers. It is powerfully rhythmic, and forcefully driven. Parts of the second movement are ethereal and wispy, giving way to the shocking and sudden elements of the third movement. The final movement may represent a foreshadowing of Schulhoff’s death. The foreboding music sounds a bit like a clock winding down, indicating the impending madness, leaving the silence of having nothing left.

WHS Project Grad. Fundraiser WELLS The Wells High School 2021 Project Graduation Committee needs help for their final Project Graduation fundraiser.

Hackmatack Welcomes Children to the Summer Stage BERWICK After a successful 2020 summer, the theater camp in the fields and barns of Hackmatack Playhouse will once again welcome children onto the stage this summer. Whether the stage is outside on the back porch, as it was last year, or inside on the Main Stage, where professional shows are usually performed, kids at Hack-Ma-Camp in Berwick will be rehearsing for and performing “Peter Pan” after three weeks of full day camp. Hackmatack Camp, now in its 42nd year, will run three weeks beginning on June 28 and ending with a performance at the close. The camp, for children age 7-13, gives kids not only a theater experience, but the chance to play outdoor games and socialize with other campers in the shadow of Hackmatack’s bison farm. To make it easier for working parents, the camp went from half to full days in 2020. It also shortened the season, allowing families to more easily travel part of the summer. The camp

day runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and is broken into small chunks that include a times for kids to take a “drinks, bathrooms, and wiggle” break, according to Sarah Hashem, who will again be the camp director. Mornings start with stretches and check-ins. After lunch campers have games and exercises then more rehearsal and then the day ends with a closing circle, Hashem said. It is too early to know yet if the camp will follow last year’s social distancing guidelines, according to Hackmatack owner Michael Guptill. “But we are hopeful that this summer’s guidelines will allow for a larger gathering than last year,” Guptill said. Hashem chose “Peter Pan” for this year’s camp production in part because it is flexible enough to adapt to whatever this

summer brings. Last year, after schools closed down in spring, camp parents were thrilled to have campers off their computers and outside, dancing and having fun with other children. “And kids were happy to be doing something with their body and something artistic,” Guptill said. “We had favorable weather. and we were outside the whole time, using the outdoor lobby as a stage.” Having been through the 2020 summer, and knowing how successful it was, Hashem is more than prepared for whatever comes about this summer. “Last year it was like ‘how was this going to work?’ But now that we have gone through it once, it will See STAGE page 10...

FINANCE & CAREER Wildlife Refuge Seeks Participants for Project

WELLS Business owners in southern coastal Maine are invited by Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge to incorporate one act of environmental sustainability into their operations starting in 2021. The voluntary, community-wide project, called Rachel Carson’s Conservation Champions: Businesses for a Greener Future, aims to inspire at least fifty local business owners to implement at least one environmentally sustainable action at their business within a one-year time frame. The project is part of the refuge’s 50th anniversary celebration of being renamed in honor of the world-renowned conservationist and marine biologist, Rachel Carson.

The refuge will assist participants by answering questions and brainstorming environmental action ideas, facilitating a roundtable discussion to encourage community collaboration and allow participants to exchange ideas, and providing custom storefront signage for participating businesses. The Friends of Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge, a non-profit organization, will highlight participating businesses on social media, their website, and in their quarterly newsletter. “When local businesses come together to take real and immediate action, even the smallest of changes can have big results across an entire community,” said Rachel Stearns, a biological technician at the refuge

and staff member working on the project. “In this spirit, we hope that any actions implemented by businesses participating in this project will encourage other businesses and customers to follow their lead!” The refuge encourages interested individuals to research environmental actions that fit their businesses, but some examples include: Provide plastic straws to customers only when requested; Encourage customers to purchase and bring reusable bags or switch to providing recyclable paper options; Switch to using eco-friendly cleaning products; Switch to using recyclable products rather than styrofoam; Start composting, which can contribute towards creating a pollinator habitat garden, or join

“Higher Education in Transition” Released AUGUSTA Educate Maine and the Maine State Chamber of Commerce released their newest policy brief entitled “Higher Education in Transition: Challenges and Opportunities for Maine.” The partnership’s report explores the impact of the pandemic on higher education in Maine and provides recommendations for how the state and its institutions can work collaboratively toward effective and equitable access to post-secondary education for all Maine people. “Getting more Maine people to enroll and persist in postsecondary programs is critical if we are to meet Maine’s education attainment goal of 60% of individuals holding degrees or credentials

of value by 2025,” said Jason Judd, Ed.D., executive director of Educate Maine. “Ensuring access, affordability, and equity is pivotal as we work to achieve a full economic recovery from the impacts of the pandemic.” The coronavirus pandemic swiftly changed the way we live, work, and learn. For many, the public health crisis has put education plans on hold or fundamentally changed their learning environments. Many young people and adult learners alike are facing difficult choices or barriers to accessing further education. “I always think—never waste a crisis,” said Rosa Redonnett, Associate Vice Chancellor for Student Success and Credential Attainment at the University of Maine System. “It forces us to step back and look at ourselves

with very different eyes. The traditional higher education approach has been to meet students where we are. COVID-19 enables us to meet them where they are, and that is a very healthy outcome. COVID-19 is forcing us to think holistically about what we offer and how we provide it.” Amid all this change, one thing remains the same: Maine’s future economic growth depends on a skilled workforce. Low-wage jobs in Maine were especially hard-hit by the pandemic, while high-wage jobs that typically require some level of post-secondary education grew. “The quality of our workforce has always ranked high among Maine’s assets,” said Dana Connors, president and CEO of the Maine State Chamber of Commerce. “The education and training students receive at Maine’s quality higher education and credentialing institutions are often a game changer for many Mainers.” “Since the early days of the

pandemic here in Maine, our education community has been stretched pretty thin,” Connors added. “Yet, they have consistently risen to challenges before them and embraced innovations to meet the needs of their students, their employees, and their state.” “Higher Education in Transition” offers four broad recommendations with targeted components that can help Maine achieve its goal of ensuring at least 60% of its population has a degree or credential of value by 2025. They are: Make online learning high quality and accessible to all; Encourage innovative credential pathways and partnerships that align higher education and business; Consider higher education a strategic asset and Keep equity at the forefront.

Subcommittee, announced that Maine has been awarded a total of $69.2 million in highway and transit funding. The funding was awarded through the COVID-19 relief package that was signed into law on December 27. “As the Ranking Member of the Transportation Appropriations Subcommittee, I have strongly advocated for funding to improve the safety, efficiency, and reliability of Maine’s infrastructure,” said Senator Collins. “Continued investments in our transportation network are vital, particularly during the pandemic that has caused a decline in revenues. The road projects and transit operations supported by this funding will help ensure that Mainers can reach their homes and jobs.” “The funding provided by the most recent COVID19 relief package is crucial for Maine’s transportation system from a capital programming perspective,” said Maine DOT Commissioner Bruce Van Note. “We are grateful for the continued advocacy of Senator Collins and Maine’s entire delegation.” The latest relief package, which was negotiated by a bipartisan group led by Senator Collins, provided a total of $10 billion for highways and $14 billion for the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). Of the highway funding, Maine was awarded $46 million to: Support highway and bridge capital projects that include 268 miles of high-priority roads and 43 bridge projects throughout the state; Support improvements to 320 miles of lesser traveled roads statewide. Of the FTA funding, Maine was awarded $23.2 million to: Support transit agencies in meeting protocols to safely maintain operations and employees statewide; Support rural and intercity transit operators across Maine that provide access to jobs, commercial airports, and rail services; Provide safe connections to jobs through employee commuter services, including those at The Jackson Laboratory, Bath Iron Works, and Sunday River; Support connections to Maine’s island communities, including: the Maine State Ferry Service, the Cranberry Isle Ferry, the Casco Bay Island Transit District, and the Isle Au Haut boat service; Provide critical services beyond traditional transit services, including the Downeast Community Partners’ buses used to safely distribute food and provide transit to vaccination sites.

Health & Fitness Take Out Hunger Expands

Vaccination Plan for School Staff & Child Care Providers AUGUSTA Governor Janet Mills announced that her administration will align Maine’s vaccination plan with President Biden’s recent directive to make eligible pre-K-12 school staff and child care providers, regardless of age. According to the Maine Department of Edu-

KITTERY / BERWICK Ever since the pandemic hit, the Berwick-based Table of Plenty food pantry has been struggling to keep up with an increasing demand to feed the food insecure in their area. “We started down this path of handling the pandemic last March, thinking it would pass within a month or two,” said Diana Marzinzik, president of the board for the Table of Plenty. “Here we are almost a year later and we are feeling it. Our numbers keep growing, as the need and demand keep rising.” They needed a lifeline. That’s when Marzinzik heard about Take Out Hunger. Started in early January by a small group of friends, the Take Out Hunger initiative had set out with a lofty goal. Support local restaurants and provide healthy meals to the food insecure in the Portsmouth community. Take Out Hunger raises funds to pay local restaurants to cook nutritious meals that nonprofit organizations deliver to those in need. Gather, a Portsmouth based nonprofit working to end hunger, serves as the fiscal sponsor. “I immediately reached out, wanting to be a part of the effort,” Marzinzik said. “Our budgets, and our volunteers, have been feeling the strain. With food costs rising and needing to cover the expense of packaging, we’ve been stretched quite thin.” Take Out Hunger, had grown in less than six weeks to include 11 participating restaurants and eight nonprofit partners serving upwards of 700 meals a week. “We wanted to be sure if we grew into other areas that we would have the financial backing of sponsors to support the need, as well as the restaurants and nonprofits in those areas willing and able to partner together,” said Helen Crowe, one of the founders. “Since deciding to expand, we have been inspired by the support we’ve received in Kittery, the Berwicks and now the Dover and Somersworth areas.” Since Take Out Hunger expanded to Kittery and Berwick

during the second week of February, they have raised enough donations to deliver more than 200 meals a week there. Currently the Blue Mermaid Island Grill in Kittery is cooking 40 meals a week for the Footprints Food Pantry in Kittery, The Black Birch in Kittery is preparing 80 meals a week for Kittery’s Table of Plenty and Michele Duval, retired chef/owner of the Cape Neddick Inn, has volunteered to prepare 110 meals a week for Berwick’s Table of Plenty. Guests love the restaurantquality takeout meals, including turkey and sweet potato hash,

stuffed peppers and chicken pot pies. Ben Lord, restauranter and chef also appreciates the opportunity to participate in Take Out Hunger. “ The Black Birch is excited to be able to cook and to feed people, partnering with wonderful organizations that simultaneously feed the community and help the hospitality industry to continue to sustain is an honor, and a humbling experience.

cation and the Maine Department of Health and Human Services, an estimated 36,400 school staff and 16,000 child care providers become newly eligible under this directive, aside from the 10,632 school staff over the age of 60 already eligible under the Governor’s age-tiered system. Under the new Federal policy, participants in the Federal Retail Pharmacy Program – which includes certain Hannaford, Walgreens and Walmart pharmacies in Maine – are directed to give access to available appointments exclusively to school staff and licensed child care workers moving forward. School staff and child care workers should first check the websites of retail pharmacy partners for vaccine availability. Already scheduled appointments made by people 60 and older will not be canceled. Additionally, vaccine clinics in Maine will begin accepting ap-

pointments for school staff and licensed child care workers as soon as they are able. Maine school staff and child care providers are encouraged to view Maine’s COVID-19 vaccination website for the most up-to-date information on locations accepting appointments. Maine is also adopting the new Federal policy’s definition of school staff and licensed child care workers, which is workers at pre-primary, primary, and secondary schools, Head Start and Early Head Start programs, including teachers, staff, and bus drivers and those who work as or for licensed child care providers, including center-based and family care providers. Vaccine sites will ask Maine residents for proof of eligibility. For these workers, proof of employment can include an employee ID card, a paystub, or a letter from the employer.

Last year, Maine’s hospitality and tourism industry was preparing for a summer season in the midst of a pandemic, and wanted a way to assure customers that businesses were doing everything possible to be COVID-19 safe. Working with HospitalityMaine and Eastern Maine Community College, Maine Quality Centers (MQC) developed and launched the first safety training program

in June, for restaurant workers. Responding to demand, MQC — the short-term training arm of the system — developed additional industry-specific COVID-19 readiness training programs. So far, more than 2,000 food service workers have successfully completed the training, earning a readiness badge; as have more than 700 lodging workers, and almost 400 ski resort workers. A new childcare worker badge is about to be launched, and plans are in the works for other industries. More than 6,000 MCCS employees and students have also earned COVID-19 readiness badges. Training in stress management and de-escalation is also available through MQC.

The free online training gives employees the tools to create a safe environment for themselves, their colleagues, and their customers. “When you know the workers are trained — and the businesses care enough to make sure their employees have the latest information — customers can shop or ski or eat in those places with confidence,” said MCCS Chief Workforce Development Officer Dan Belyea. “We may all be familiar with the basics of masking and distancing and hand washing, but these workers need additional training to suit their workplace.” For more information, contact Dan Belyea at dbelyea@mccs.me.edu.

New Testing Center Hours in York YORK To better care for community members and focus caregivers’ efforts where needs are greatest, the operating hours at the COVID-19 Testing Center located 343 Route 1, York, are being adjusted starting this week. As of March 8, hours will now be Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Eligibility requirements include that a provider’s order must be in the system before testing. The paperless process re-

quires the provider order to be faxed or emailed to York Hospital BEFORE a patient can be tested. Patients must speak to their provider about being tested and ask them to either fax the order to 207-351-2602, or send via email to covid19. testing@yorkhospital.com. For more information, call the COVID-19 Testing Help Line at 207-351-2000 with any questions or concerns or read more online at http:// ow.ly/ohwv50dldhk.

MaineHealth Updates Registration System to Support Vaccine Eligibility PORTLAND MaineHealth outlined its updated registration procedures for receiving a COVID-19 vaccination at one of its clinics now that the State of Maine has announced it will expand eligibility to those 60 and over. The state of Maine announced today that, beginning March 3, Maine residents aged 60 and above will be eligible for vaccination. Previously, Mainers aged 70 and older were eligible to receive the vaccine. “Clinical studies show that age is the strongest predictor of hospitalization and death from COVID-19, and we support the governor’s decision to expand vaccination eligibility to those aged 60 and over,” said Joan Boomsma, chief medical officer of MaineHealth. “The incidence of serious illness and death increases with age, and prioritizing in this way is a straightforward and sound way to allocate vaccine to those most at risk.” MaineHealth, the state’s largest integrated health system, operates a high-volume vaccination clinic in Scarborough and also has vaccination clinics in Belfast, Brunswick, Boothbay, Farmington, Norway, Rockport, Westbrook and Sanford. As of Friday, MaineHealth had given at least a first dose of either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine to more than 40,000 Mainers aged 70 and older. MaineHealth has created the physical infrastructure and identified the staffing needed to administer as many 25,000

doses of vaccine per week, but a limited supply of vaccine has constrained those efforts. For example, MaineHealth administered only about 8,500 first doses of the vaccine in each of the past two weeks. To date, MaineHealth has injected 96 percent of the doses it has received within seven days, with the remaining 4 percent lagging due to winter storms. So far, more than 120,000 individuals have pre-registered in the MaineHealth system. As this next phase opens up, MaineHealth will prioritize Maine residents 70 and older who have already pre-registered in its system, and those individuals will be contacted to schedule vaccination appointments before residents who are 60-69. However, it is expected that MaineHealth will be able to begin scheduling vaccination appointments for residents 60 and over within the coming week. Those who have not already pre-registered for an appointment are encouraged to do so by calling the MaineHealth virtual vaccine assistant at 1-877-780-7545. Once someone has completed the telephone pre-registration process, they will receive periodic automated messages to confirm their status. Even if someone’s phase isn’t yet active, they will be contacted once they are eligible. MaineHealth has been continuously updating the capabilities of its registration system. Mainers can also now call the virtual vaccine assistant at 1-877-780-7545 to verify their information is in the system, cancel or change an existing appointment or remove one’s self from the pre-registration list and automated message system.

Health & Fitness $536K in Coronavirus Relief Funds for Meals on Wheels AUGUSTA The Governor recently announced that more than half a million dollars in Coronavirus Relief Funds (CRF) will be dedicated to extend home-delivered meals to older Mainers and caregivers, ensuring food and nutrition for Maine people staying home during the pandemic. The Maine Department of Health and Human Services’ (DHHS) investment of $536,000 in federal funding will maintain greatly increased deliveries through Meals on Wheels and similar programs since the spring, when Maine received separate CARES Act funding for these programs. The number of older adults and caregivers receiving home-delivered meals

and the number of home-delivered meals has since doubled, to more than 5,500 people and 102,000 meals in the month of October alone. Maine’s Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) have rapidly expanded these programs both through direct delivery and community partnerships. CRF funding will be used to stretch the initial federal award, allowing them to maintain current levels and extend meal deliveries further into 2021, according to varying schedules based on the need. AAAs have pre-delivered Thanksgiving meals to recipients throughout Maine ahead of the holiday. In addition to providing nutritious food to recipients, Meals on Wheels and similar programming ensures a social

$650K for Maternal & Child Services WASHINGTON, D.C. U.S. Senators Susan Collins and Angus King announced that the Maine Department of Health and Human Services has received $649,998 to improve the health of Maine’s mothers and children. This funding was awarded through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) Maternal and Child Health Services Program and will support efforts to lower maternal mortality, reduce infant mortality, and enhance the delivery of maternal care. “Maine families deserve access to quality, regular care and a variety of specialized treatment options for mothers and children,” said Senators Collins and King in a joint state-

ment. “We welcome this funding, which will support a range of programs that care for the evolving health needs of Maine women and children, providing families with every opportunity to succeed from the start.” The Maine Department of Health and Human Services serves approximately one-third of the people of Maine, providing health care and social service support to children, families, the elderly, the disabled, people with mental illness or substance use disorders, and those living below the poverty level. Senator Collins is the lead cosponsor of the Quality Care for Moms and Babies Act, a bipartisan bill to provide funding for new community partnerships to address the high rate of maternal and infant mortality.

More Disability Insurance Access for Individuals with ALS Signed into Law WASHINGTON, D.C. The U.S. House of Representatives passed the ALS Disability Insurance Access Act by voice vote. This bipartisan legislation will eliminate the fivemonth waiting period before ALS patients can receive the Social Security Disability Insurance benefits they earned by contributing into Social Security. Cosponsored by Senators Susan Collins (R-ME) and Angus King (I-ME), this legislation will build on previous steps by Congress and the Social Security Administration to accommodate the difficult prognosis for those diagnosed with ALS. Last week, the Senate passed the ALS Disability Insurance Access Act by a vote of 96 to 1. The bipartisan bill now heads to the president’s desk to be signed into law. “Americans living with ALS, as well as the family members that care for them, should not have to wait to access important benefits that can help mitigate the financial burden that often accompanies this heartbreaking disease,” said Senators Collins and King in a joint statement. “This bipartisan leg...CITIZEN from page 8 sistently maintains a high level of academic achievement, even pursuing subjects independently should a particular course not be offered in the school’s curriculum.

islation will help to ensure that those with ALS have the immediate support they need, and we look forward to seeing this bill become law.” Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, commonly known as ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a neurodegenerative disease affecting the ability of the brain to control muscle movements. Individuals with ALS progressively lose the ability to speak, walk, and breathe. The intended purpose of a five-month waiting period is to allow temporary

conditions to reverse. However, there is currently no cure or treatment to halt or undo the effects of ALS, and some ALS patients lose their fight with the disease before ever receiving benefits. The ALS Disability Insurance Access Act will help alleviate some of the financial hardship that accompanies an ALS diagnosis and support those living with ALS and their families. The ALS Disability Insurance Access Act was cosponsored by 67 Senators, and the companion legislation in the U.S. House of Representatives was cosponsored by 305 members.

~ Pets ~ Safe Haven Humane Society WELLS Frankie is one of the sweetest kitties you’ll ever meet. This adorable two year old shorthaired fellow is playful and loves to hang out with you. He’s a lap sitter, a good buddy, a genuine friend. He’s healthy but requires a prescription diet to stay healthy. He is very easy to care for, as he has meticulous habits. This guy is easy to love and care for, and will blend into your home and life beautifully. He used to live around other cats, so we believe he’ll be fine with other friendly kitties, as long as he gets his prescription food. Frankie would probably be just as happy with a cat-friendly dog. Just keep his food out of reach of the dog. You can meet and get to know this precious kitty via Petfinder at www.safehavenhumanesociety.org. There you can also fill out an adoption application. Once your application is processed, we’ll arrange a convenient time for you to visit Frankie and get to know him. Did you know Safe Haven’s Thrift/ Vintage/Antique shop is now open Wednesdays too!

Animal Welfare Society

NORTH BERWICK Sweet Marbles is a 6-7 month old little girl who is on the shy side. Marbles finds new situations scary, but she’s slowly building her confidence. She allows some people to give her head and chin rubs, but is shy with others. She would flourish in a quiet home with adults who will be patient with her as she gets to know you. Older kids would be fine, and she does well with other cats, and even a dog as long as it is not an excitable breed. When you adopt a cat from Another Chance Animal Rescue, you can be confident in knowing that you’ve made a difference in life of a homeless animal. Our animals are fully vetted before they go home with you. If you are interested in fostering or adopting Marbles, or want to learn more about her, call 207-490-2855, or email mycatrescue@icloud.com with some details about your household and what you’re looking for in a cat.

KENNEBUNK The Animal Welfare Society has a variety of great pet candidates worthy of consideration. Here are a few. Kane and Abel are a bonded pair of two-year-old brothers who are looking for a new home together here in Maine. They are a couple of love bugs at heart and want nothing more than a lap to curl up in and a home to call their own. And speaking of a new home, they won’t mind sharing one with cats, kids, other dogs, grandparents, etc. Martha is the kitty sitting politely in her cat tree and that big goof climbing on top is her brother, Matthew. They are a bonded pair of kitty siblings who are looking for a home together and are ready to start the next chapter of their lives with loving members of a new family! Christina and Meredith are a bonded pair of guinea pig sisters hoping to find a perfect home and be a part of a complete family. By the way, Guinea pigs are great snugglers! They like to burrow in laps or and get all comfy cozy with family members. They also love being outside (when it’s warm!) so they can

It is based on a hospital’s performance in preventing medical errors, injuries, accidents, infections and other harms to patients in their care. Dr. Jennifer Cutts, chief medical officer and interim CEO, offered, “This award belongs to our staff, who deliver the highest caliber of patient care at York

Hospital. Our teams collaborate continuously to improve upon patient outcomes and experience. We are so proud of our caregivers for this exceptional achievement, in particular this year during the pandemic. To our community, we hope this outstanding recognition of York Hospital’s safe environment provides reassurance, so that our patients will continue to seek the care they need with confidence. We are here, we are open, and we welcome the opportunity to continue caring for all in our community.” “We are extremely grateful to hospital leadership and health care workers who have remained steadfast in prioritizing patient safety as our nation battles COVID-19,” said Leah Binder, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group. “This A is a testament to the care and

Cafe Roasts Up Benefit for COS

Mornings in Paris Owner Paul Humphrey presents a check for $1,000 to Community Outreach Services Development Director Michelle Allen.

KENNEBUNK Mornings in Paris recently donated $1,000 in proceeds from the sales of its “Community Blend,” especially roasted to benefit Community Outreach Services(COS). It took eight months to reach their goal, starting last April when owner Paul Humphrey closed the cafe because of the growing concerns about the developments of COVID-19. “We saw an immediate demand for the coffee from generous businesses and customers, and we have been able to donate $4 for every 1-pound we sell,” he said. It’s been a rewarding mission for the Lower Village Kennebunk cafe. “We spent April working out our new safety-first approach to the day-to-day running of the cafe,” he said. “Whilst doing this we wanted to keep staff busy and employed and worked on a plan

to give back and support the community at the same time. “We wanted to be part of the solution rather than the part of the problem,” said Humphrey, They decided to do what they do best, and developed a new coffee roast specifically for the fund. The “Community Blend” sold by the pound was born.

commitment of those who work for York Hospital. With the current pandemic exposing existing flaws within the U.S. health care system, we appreciate you putting patient safety first. Lives depend on it.” Developed under the guidance of a national expert panel, the Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade uses up to 27 measures of publicly available hospital safety data to assign grades to more than 2,600 U.S. acute-care hospitals twice per year. The Hospital Safety Grade’s methodology is peer-reviewed and fully transparent, and the results are free to the public. York Hospital was awarded an A grade when Leapfrog updated grades for fall 2020. To see their full grade details and access patient tips for staying safe in the hospital, visit www.hospitalsafetygrade.org.

COS has been serving families in need in the towns of Kennebunk, Kennebunkport and Arundel for over 24 years, offering a weekly produce pantry, a family voucher program, a school snack program as well as offering fuel assistance and specific financial need requests to those that are in need of emergency help. “It has been a fun and rewarding project to work with COS and really gave us a sense of purpose through the very challenging months at the start of the pandemic,” said Humphrey. “This project has invigorated our desire to be an integral part of the community, especially during these challenging times, and we are already working on our next project.” Humphrey said they stand ready to help local initiatives. Please email Info@morningsinparis.com if you would like to collaborate with Mornings in Paris.

Kennebunk Savings Donates $36,000 to Local Food Pantries

In total, the bank’s holiday donations amount to $36,000. “Food insecurity is, alarmingly, a rising problem in our area and across the nation,” said Bradford C.

Savings has dedicated 10% of the bank’s profits to charitable giving. This year, much of the bank’s Community Promise support was focused on mitigating the fallout of the pandemic. Over $150,000 went to direct relief, and many event sponsorships were shifted to assist with operational costs for many local and struggling nonprofits. The bank also funded innovative programs like an equine-facilitated therapy program for health care workers. In total, the Bank will contribute just over $1,000,000 to nonprofits in 2020. “We are so grateful for the continued support from Kennebunk Savings,” said Georgia Jenkins of Good Shepherd. “This will brighten the holiday season for many Mainers in need.” Photo provided by Jessica Donahue, Good Shepherd Food Bank.

YORK The Cuts For Kindness event provided by The Opal Society, a hair boutique on Route 1 in York, was a sold out event this winter with around 30 essential workers in attendance, including military members, healthcare workers, and teachers. Lauren Kinton and four other stylists offered free cuts and coloring as a gesture of thanks. Having just opened the salon in September 2020, Kinton was pleased to give back to the community, and hopes to offer this kind of event again.

family to Damariscotta. There she worked with Chapman & Chapman Insurance and eventually the Cheney Insurance Co. In 2005 she moved back to Wells and Morris Insurance where she worked until her retirement. She then once again moved back to Damariscotta, the town she had grown to love. Pam enjoyed going to yard sales with her good friends Jenny and Rosemary, trekking far and wide to see what treasure the next sale would present. She loved to cook and was always game to try a new recipe. If something was good she insisted on sharing with friends and family. We all have Pam’s recipes in our files. Pam was a devoted friend. She loved her family deeply and enjoyed life-long sustaining friendships. Her generous humor recognized the sometimes absurd bend in life, but she saw life steady and she saw life whole. Pam’s warm quick wit and laugh will always be with us. Pam was predeceased by her mother Jane I. Jacobs, father Cedric Allen, sister Cheryl M. Allen, and brother Kenneth S. Allen. She is survived by her son Scott W. Burton and fiancé Breana Goodwin of Rochester NH; the light and love of her life, granddaughter Kassidy Burton; brothers John W. Jacobs and Jason Allen of Wells; sisters Suze Allen of San Francisco, CA, and Barbara Allen of NM; and her former husband Francis W. Burton III with whom she remained good friends.

Bernier-Gelinas FUNERAL HOME

Kittery, ME We are often asked by the families we serve, here at JS Pelkey & Son and Bernier Funeral Homes, why certain expressions and traditions exist in the funeral service industry. One of the most often asked questions is “Why send flowers to a memorial service or funeral, aren’t they just a waste of money?” Well nothing could be further from the truth. As my friend Todd Van Beck recently wrote in an article: Flowers are sent to funerals for several reasons. Flowers are a means of expression. It is often difficult for those mourning a death to put feelings into words. Flowers are a visual expression of love, sympathy, and respect. They are a way of lending support and sharing the burden of grief. In addition to sending flowers to the funeral, there is a growing trend to send flowers to the home of the bereaved after the service. Some people also send flowers to the church in memory of the deceased. Flowers create a background of warmth and beauty which adds to the dignity and consolation of the service. Those who have attended services where there were no flowers have noted that something was

missing – that the funeral was depressing. The funeral meets the bereaved’s need for support. Death throws people into despair and depression by separating them from one who has provided love, companionship, and security. The funeral and customs provide the means by which those close to them can give their support and share their suffering. The funeral period provides for the expression of sorrow. Only through talking about the past can the bereaved person realize the extent of the relationship with the deceased, and accept the loss and suffering. Only through weeping and talking to good listeners can they release their grief and feelings of guilt and hostility. Experts in grief therapy believe that it can be expressed best through rites, rituals, and ceremonies. The ceremony deals primarily with intellectual concepts and doesn’t fully engage the

125 Old Post Rd., Kittery, ME 207-439-4900 www.jspelkeyfuneralhome.com

There are three points to be stressed, finally, in connection with the tradition of funeral flowers. First, the role of flowers are both symbolic and aesthetic. They add great value to the richness and meaning of the ritual. Second, flowers represent sympathy extended to the bereaved. Third, flowers are sent to both the living and the dead. They are sent to the living as comfort and as tokens of respect for the deceased. We, at the JS Pelkey & Son and the Bernier Funeral Homes, hold the value of the work our local florists do in very high regard. We always encourage the families we serve to contact a local florist directly. Certainly there are national floral outlets that can be reached with a simple Google search but, honestly, the quality of these products are often substandard. Simply click the “Send Flowers” tab on our website and you will be directed to our list of trusted florists. Please call us about any questions with which we may help.

Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, I am trying to copy my entire Windows Live Photo Gallery to DVD for archiving. However, what I get on the DVD is a list of dates for the pictures. I can click on the dates to open the pictures but, I would really like to to see the rows of small images, seven across each line, as they appear on the WLPG page. That makes browsing or looking for particular photos so much more convenient. I just don’t know how to do that. My computer skills are rather rudimentary. Thank you so much for your help. You are a life saver! Peter Dear Peter, What you need to do is change the view in File Explorer (or Windows Explorer) when you are looking at the DVD. Here is how to do that: 1. Insert your DVD with photos on it, and open File explorer to view the contents of the DVD; 2. Click “View” in the ribbon at the top of the window; 3. Click “Medium Icons” or any other view you wish to change to that view. Since you are viewing the files on a DVD, it might take a few seconds for the icons to load, but once they do, you should be able to easily look for the photos you desire.

While teaching, she earned her doctorate from UNH. She was an integral member of staff development who served on many committees. One of Charlene’s strongest passions was the implementation of her Science curriculum. Charlene was hired by the state to be trained at the STEM partnership. Charlene’s keen knowledge of science content and instruction was evident in the professional training she provided for many of her colleagues. Her professional workshops brought lasting life to science at Wells Elementary. Her classroom often had living creatures for the students to observe and explore. Learning was always interactive and hands on for her students. Students created elaborate displays in a museum-like atmosphere to share what they learned. It was an exciting, enriching place to be as many former students have shared. Her passionate and caring instruction fostered in each of her young students’ curiosity, observation, and an understanding of the wondrous interconnection of the natural world. With her guidance they became scientists! Charlene enjoyed the team approach to teaching and learning. She mentored many student teachers over the years. She also welcomed parents and other community members into her classroom to support her students’ growth. Many of these volunteers continued to work with Charlene well beyond when their children left her room because of the nurturing environment she had created. Recently the staff and former students put together a memory book for Charlene. The book contained many beautiful tributes to Charlene. Her impact on staff and students was profound. Quotes from former students now in college include: “You ignited my passion for learning and made me look

forward to class every day with you. You took a real interest in all of your students and showed us all that we were capable of our fullest potential. You’ve been and forever will be my favorite teacher.” - Logan “When I first started in your class I was terrified to go. I probably had the worst anxiety you have ever seen in a child and cried every day. You let me carry around a photo of my mom and I and a teddy bear all around the school. Those were the only two things that made me feel safe. You would validate my feelings and always made sure I had someone to talk to. With your support and encouragement, I stopped needing the bear and photo and gained two life- long friends. You have truly impacted so many students and I am so

thankful to have had you as my teacher.” - Abby “You will be dearly missed, Dr. C.” Charlene’s passion did not stop at education. Her love and joy for creating repurposed, upcycled, wearable art became “CK Studio Designs”. Charlene co-founded “Seacoast Sage” (www.seacoastsage.com), a marketplace for fine crafts created by local women. Charlene created one of a kind quilts and baby quilts that are cherished by all proud recipients. She artfully constructed a range of beaded jewelry that could include a variety of stones with beneficial properties. Charlene’s perennial garden is a labor of love along with being another true passion. See KOHN page 27...

It is the envy of many and was part of the Portsmouth garden tour. Charlene maintained a level of love, concern and compassion for others, while being faced with significant challenges. She thought of others before herself. You will not find a more beautiful human spirit, which is vital in these unsettled times. We need more Charlenes in this world, not less. Service will be held privately. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Music Maker Relief Foundation at www.musicmaker.org. For online condolences, visit www.jvwoodfuneralhome.com.

Recycle A Box & Items All in One! $300K to Connect Seniors with Ride-Hailing Services

NATIONWIDE Non-profit “Give Back Box®” provides a convenient method of reusing corrugated boxes while donating used household items, in order to encourage reuse and recycling. The company organizes the logistics between retailers and charities, so that the donation process is made hasslefree and supports all involved. According to www.givebackbox.com: The average US household has around $7,000 of unwanted items (NPD study 2011); The world now consumes about 80 billion new pieces of clothing every year; Approximately 100 billion boxes are manufactured every year in the USA since over 95% of all products are shipped in cardboard boxes. To take part in a “green” solution, simply reuse your online shipping boxes in which you received your purchases, or any other cardboard, to donate your unwanted household items such as gently-used clothing, shoes, accessories, jewelry, etc. Give Back Box® will provide you with a prepaid shipping label to participating charities. Donated items are then sorted and sold by the charity to raise funds towards their community-based programs. The charities also recycle every box that arrives at their facilities. Give Back Box® was founded in 2012 by Monika Wiela, who at the time was running an online

shoe store. The idea was inspired by a homeless man she encountered who needed a pair of shoes. She spent that night thinking about him and then about all the empty boxes in her warehouse. As Wiela researched, she learned that an estimated 11 million tons of clothing, footwear, towels, bedding, drapery, and other textiles end up in U.S. landfills every year. In addition, online shopping is now the preferred method for much of the buying public with corrugated boxes as the dominant packaging. With this knowledge, Wiela’s mission crystalized... Wiela’s first step to bring her dream to reality was to find a non-profit with a national footprint that could accept donations on a grand scale. The enterprise also needed to have a program to recycle the boxes that it would receive. The first major retailer to join Give Back Box® was www. newegg.com. They placed Give Back Box® fliers in all the boxes shipped to its customers, recommending they re-use the boxes to ship items to local charities using easy-to-print pre-paid shipping labels provided by Give Back Box®. The local charities developed a system to track the packages, so when they received the boxes and scanned them in, tax receipts were generated for appropriate donors. Give Back Box® has now teamed up with some of the biggest retailers in the U.S.,

WASHINGTON, D.C. U.S. Senators Susan Collins and Angus King announced that the University of Maine has received a total of $300,000 to develop an autonomous vehicle smartphone application designed to assist visually impaired individuals and seniors. This funding was awarded through the Inclusive Design Challenge put on by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration within the U.S.

Department of Transportation. “Maine has the oldest population by median age and is also one of the most rural states in our nation. These two factors make developing and deploying accessible transportation solutions for seniors an increasingly urgent priority,” said Senators Collins and King in a joint statement. “We welcome this investment in automated vehicle technologies at the University of Maine, which will

help to safely and efficiently connect seniors with essential services.” This funding will allow the University of Maine team to work on the development of the application they are calling “Ava,” which stands for “Autonomous Vehicle Assistant,” using innovative human-machine interfaces and technologies such as GPS and computer vision to help make automated vehicles safer and more accessible.
