Chris Cassidy

By Nancye Tuttle, Staff Writer YORK Two weeks ago, NASA astronaut Chris Cassidy, from York, looked forward to hosting his mother, Janice, and brother, Jeff, plus other family and friends, for his April 9 space launch from Russia to the International Space Station. Flying approximately 220 miles above the earth, the station will be his home for the next six months. And on this, his third space mission, Cassidy, 50, will be the commander, working with two Russian cosmonauts. Then the COVID-19 pandemic struck and plans changed dramatically. Cassidy will still go into space, but he is now in quarantine, and plans for guests at the launch are cancelled. “He’s disappointed,” Janice Cassidy said on Monday.

Scheduled to Launch

“There’s usually a big parade in Moscow and then everyone flies to the launch site. But Russia closed its borders and everything is shut down.” Cassidy, an engaging former Navy SEAL, spoke with The Sentinel 2 ½ weeks ago before COVID-19 altered lives. He and his wife Peggy, a NASA employee, had just returned from a weekend in Moscow, an hour from the training facility. He shared how much he looked forward to hosting people for the launch. “I may be one of the last Americans to launch on a Russian spacecraft, so it will be great to have everyone here,” he said, noting that this is likely his last space mission. Cassidy had no astronaut aspirations while growing up in York, he recalled. “I wanted to play professional basketball or be a referee,” he joked. At York High School, he was a “solid student – wellrounded between academics and sports,” he said. A 1988 graduate, he attended the Naval Academy Prep School in Newport, R.I. for a year and went on the the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics in 1993. For 11 years, he was a member of the U.S. Navy SEALs Team, working as a navigator of underwater vehicles. That concerned his parents more than his 16 years as

an astronaut, said Janice Cassidy. “He was a SEAL in Afghanistan and was one of the first to go over after 9/11. It was terrifying, because he couldn’t tell us where he was,” she said. “His deployments were long, we worried a lot and were relieved when he applied to NASA.” Cassidy applied while earning his master’s degree at MIT and was selected as an astronaut in 2004. A veteran of two space flights, STS-127 and Expedition 35, he has logged over 30 hours on space walks. An unplanned walk on Expedition 35, with Cassidy and European Space Agency astronaut Luca Parmitano replacing a pump controller box, was cut short when cooling water leaked into Parmitano’s helmet. Such crises don’t faze Cassidy, who has been in Russia since March 1 training with his Russian counterparts. “We are constantly in training and well-prepared, with many eyes watching us, so I don’t worry,” he said. Space Station jobs include maintenance, repairs and conducting experiments that various companies and universities propose to be done. Free time includes daily workouts to maintain bone

Notice from the Weekly Sentinel In our best efforts to bring you the “news you want to read”, the Weekly Sentinel is implementing temporary measures which include focusing on our online newspaper while maintaining distribution of street copies. The current COVID-19 crisis increasingly challenges the readers, communities, and business we serve. In an effort to keep all involved safe as well as maintain our core business, the Sentinel will not be providing newspapers in the mail but instead will publish a digital replica online that is available for all on Wednesday night for that Friday’s issue – Same format but without the ink!

Flushed Items Causing Sewer Back-Ups AUGUSTA Properly functioning sewer systems are extremely important for the protection of public health and to reduce the spread of the Coronavirus Disease (COVID19). To help keep these systems functioning properly, the Maine Department of Environmental Protection is reminding people that the following products should not be flushed: Baby wipes or cleaning wipes, paper towels, tissues, dental floss, tampons and sanitary products, cotton balls and swabs, cat litter, prescription drugs, over-the-counter medi-

cines, and cigarette butts. Unlike toilet paper, these products do not break down and once flushed they are likely to clog the plumbing in a house, septic system, or public sewer system. When these products make their way into the sewer they clump together, causing very large obstructions in the sewer lines. They get tangled in pump stations requiring repair of equipment and causing backups and discharges of raw sewage into basements of homes and businesses, and into waters of the state. Due to the potential for public works staffing shortages during the COVID-19 pandemic, response time to repair clogged sewers could be substantially delayed. Maine DEP and wastewater treatment facilities across the state reminds everyone to make sure they are only flushing toilet paper and properly disposing of all other materials.

New Steps to Protect Public Health

AUGUSTA Under the authority granted to her during a State of Civil Emergency, Governor Janet Mills issued an Executive Order mandating that all non-essential businesses and operations in Maine close their physical locations that are public facing,

meaning those that allow customer, vendor or other in-person contact. The Order also closes non-essential business sites that require more than ten workers to convene in a space where physical distancing is not possible. Non-essential businesses and operations may continue activities

A Prayer for this Time of Challenge & Concern By the Rev. Dr. D. Stuart Dunnan

St. Peter’s by the Sea Episcopal 535 Shore Road, Cape Neddick, Maine www.st-peters-by-the-sea.org

Sustaining God, loving Father, we ask for your presence and guidance as we respond to the spread of the novel Coronavirus in the world, our country, our states, and our communities. We ask your blessing upon all in authority over us, that they may make wise decisions and act decisively to protect us and maintain the good order of the societies and economies in which we live and work. We ask your blessing upon our armed forces, police and first responders, and especially upon all who are called professionally and vocationally to give of themselves so bravely and selflessly to heal and care for us should we fall ill: our doctors and nurses, and all who support them. We pray especially for those who are more vulnerable: the elderly and the infirm, the poor and the homeless, and for all who live alone. We pray for all who are now seriously ill and for the souls of those who have died. May they rest in peace with you. During this time of physical isolation and continuing distance, help us to keep our relationships and our communities strong; bless the love which binds us together and make it stronger. Bless our families, friends, and all who support us, and give us your gifts of faith - of perspective, gratitude, and courage – so that we may face our own challenges gracefully and respond generously to the challenges of others. Save us from pride and selfishness, and from the panic and fear which act against your love for us. And help us to use this time of uncertainty to grow closer to you, to acknowledge our need for you and our need for each other, so that we may live with the unanswered questions which confront us with the hope and confidence that come from believing in you - as your Spirit inspires us, and as your Son has shown us, even on his Cross, which redeems and saves us all.

that do not involve these types of in-person contact and convenings, and should facilitate the maximum number of employees working remotely. The Order is effective through April 8 at 12 a.m. Non-Essential Businesses and Operations subject to the Governor’s Executive Order include, but are not limited to: shopping malls, fitness and exercise gyms, spas, barber shops, hair salons, tattoo and piercing parlors, massage facilities, nail technicians, cosmetologists and estheticians, electrolysis services, laser hair removal services, and similar personal care and treatment facilities and services. The Executive Order excludes businesses that provide essential services including, but not limited to: food processing, agriculture, industrial manufacturing, construction, trash collection, grocery and household goods (including convenience stores), home repair and hardware and auto repair, pharmacy and other medical facilities, biomedical, behavioral health and health care providers, child care, post offices and shipping outlets, insurance, banks, gas stations,

So, may he walk with us on our new path in this dark forest, and may we see with him your light shining before us, your angels as they guard and care for us, and may we pray with him as he has taught us: Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.† And from the Book of Common Prayer, p. 167 The Collect for the Third Sunday in Lent

Almighty God, who seest that we have no power of ourselves to help ourselves: Keep us both outwardly in our bodies and inwardly in our souls, that we may be defended from all adversities which may happen to the body, and from all evil thoughts which may assault and hurt the soul; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

CMP to Extend Customer Protections AUGUSTA Central Maine Power Company announced that it is suspending late payment and customer reconnection charges for all customers and is seeking to extend protections to eligible customers participating in certain payment plans. The company is also deploying line-workers to patrol all circuits that serve hospitals and other critical care facilities to help prevent any service interruptions while the need for medical assistance could be greatest. “We are focused on ensuring continuity of the essential service we provide; specifically, we are working to prevent any disruption in service to critical facilities like hospitals, urgent care offices, and even food distribution centers,” said David Flanagan, Executive Board Chairman of CMP.

The company filed a request with the Maine Public Utilities Commission (MPUC) to address the temporary payment plan adjustments. It also advised the MPUC that it would suspend late payment charges and reconnection charges – typically charged to customers moving into an existing location with CMP – for the duration of the moratorium period announced by the commission, during which no state utilities

may disconnect customers. Flanagan continued, “We are also very conscious of the financial impact of this pandemic. We believe that a temporary adjustment to the payment plans that allows eligible customers to remain in those plans longer than is typical is the right thing to do in the current circumstances. We can extend special consideration to customers who See CMP page 11...

counts that are in arrears, not be terminated from the program in the event of missed payments. Earlier this week, CMP and Public Advocate Barry Hobbins asked the MPUC to extend the period in which winter disconnection rules apply shortly before the MPUC issued its similar order for all Maine utilities. CMP encourages any customer who is challenged to pay their electric bills to call the company to discuss possible sources of assistance and individual payment arrangements. This week, CMP is actively dedicating its line-workers to patrolling those electric circuits that serve medical and other critical facilities. While the company follows a dedicated five-year trimming program across all its service territory to reduce outages that can be caused by overhanging trees and limbs, the line staff is

checking to ensure there are no obstacles that could cause outages to a major facility. CMP is committed to providing reliable service while keeping employees and customers safe and is implementing appropriate health and safety protocols. In addition to ensuring that all employees are practicing hygiene and social distancing recommendations from national and state public health officials, the company has restricted visitors from entering facilities, has provided support needed to enable some office staff to work from home, and can provide in-house accommodations such as food and cots so that employees who perform critical functions can remain at work if necessary. The company will continue to implement contingency measures as required to ensure employee and customer safety and service reliability.

~ Ask The Computer Lady ~ Dear Computer Lady, I caught a segment of NPR today talking about Verizon being slapped with a fine for using super cookies on their internet service. We use Verizon and I’m wondering exactly what super cookies are and most importantly, how to know if we have anything to worry about and how to it fix it, if possible? The segment didn’t go into that issue. But they seemed to indicate it was harder to not be tracked and safeguard yourself? For the record, we always delete things after using the internet. Thanks! Debra Dear Debra, I had never heard of super cookies, so I did a little bit of research and this is what I learned. First, there is no such thing as a supercookie, it is just a term for some tracking code on your phone that privacy advocates have created (probably to scare average people like you and I) . Second, this tracking code is only on Verizon’s mobile devices (Smartphones) . Third, the data from this tracking code is then used to display advertisements to certain groups of customers. If I was a local daycare, for example, I might want to spend my advertising dollars on people in the 20 to 40 age range who also shop in local toy stores. This allows me to only pay for advertising to people who might be interested in my services. If you are using a verizon smartphone and want to opt out of this code, you can log into your verizon app and change it in the privacy settings. Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, How do I change the size

of the scroll bar in Windows 10? Thanks, Judy Dear Judy, While it is possible to adjust the width of the scrollbar in Windows 10, it requires that you go in and edit the registry. This is not something that I recommend for the average user. If you change the wrong settings in the registry, your computer will not operate correctly, or might not even start at all. Previous versions of Windows had settings for the scroll bar width in the control panel, but this is not something that Microsoft included in Windows 10. There is, however, a small, free program for windows called, Winaero Tweaker which will work in all versions of Windows and allow you to adjust the width of your scrollbars. You can download Winaero Tweaker at www.winaero.com be careful when you download it, all the real download links are just a line of text that says, “Download Winaero Tweaker”. All the big green download buttons are advertisements. Once you download the single zipped file, you will need to extract the files, then doubleclick to run winaerotweaker. exe. Nothing is installed on your computer, instead, it is just an interface for making changes. In the Winaero window, find the “Advanced Appearance Settings” in the left navigation pane and click on “Scrollbars”. Then, simply move the slider in the right pane until the scrollbars are set at the width you want. Click “Apply Changes”, then restart your computer in order for the changes to take effect. Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady,

How do I make a shortcut on my desktop? I used to be able to be able to make an icon shortcut by right- clicking and getting the menu. I am unable to do that with Windows 10 How Do I do it? Judy Dear Judy, I can give you directions for putting a shortcut to a file on your desktop, but I will also start out by saying if you don’t have the right-click menu in Windows 10, then there is something wrong with your computer. It should be there. These directions will work for all versions of Windows. Method #1 for creating a shortcut on your desktop: 1. Find the file (program or data) you want to make a shortcut to. 2. Right-click on the file to display the context menu. 3. In the context menu, point to “Send To” and click on, “Desktop (Create Shortcut) in the sub-menu. Method #2 for creating a shortcut on your desktop: 1. Using file explorer, find the file you want to create your shortcut for. 2. Reduce the size of the file explorer window, so you can also see your desktop. 3. Using the right mouse button, drag the file to your desktop 4. When you release the right mouse button, you will have a small options menu appear. 5. Click on “Create Shortcut” to create a shortcut to the file on your desktop. Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, I keep getting this message whenever I go onto Google Chrome: “This computer will

Keep It Clean: How to Improve Your Device Hygiene For all the things we touch throughout the day, we touch our phones more than anything else. And multiple studies have shown that our phones are germier than a toilet seat. Yuck. And on top of that, according to recent studies, Americans are checking their phones anywhere from about 50 to 100 times a day, and actually pressing and swiping more than 2,500 times per day. Proper device hygiene has never been more important. Here are T-Mobile and Metro by T-Mobile’s tips for keeping the germs away: 1. Don’t use your phone in the restroom. When toilets flush, they can spread germs all over the place, including the surface of our phones. And as long as we’re having the bathroom talk, make sure to always wash your hands after visiting the facilities and, of course, throughout the day. The CDC recommends washing your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds — about the amount of time it takes to sing “Happy

Birthday” twice. We know, singing “Happy Birthday” several times a day can get annoying. Check out Seattle Times’ list of 10 awesome songs to sing while you wash your hands. 2. Sanitize, sanitize, sanitize. Hand sanitizer isn’t an exact substitute for washing your hands, but for general germ battling throughout the day, it’s a decent, reliable backup. Spend about the same 20 seconds covering your hands with an alcohol-based hand sanitizer until they’re dry. And here’s a bonus pro tip: avoid touching your face with your phone. Rather than sneezing or coughing into your screen when you’re sick — and turning your device into a germ breeding ground — think about using earbuds, AirPods or speakerphone. 3. Last but not least, clean your device. Different device manufacturers have different do’s and don’ts for cleaning your phone; check the booklet that

Health & Fitness Parishioners Raise $10K+ for Child’s Transplant WELLS When the Knights of Columbus’ Fr. William J. Kelly Council 9782 of Wells learned that a six-month-old relative of a parishioner needed a liver

of the council. “What happened next was extraordinary.” Ophelia has a life-threatening liver disease called biliary atresia and is under care at Boston Children’s Hospital.

The constant medical care has caused severe financial hardship for her family. Even though they

Incident Command Center to continuously assess this evolving situation and make decisions to ensure the safety of patients, employees, volunteers, visitors, and the greater community. To help reduce the possible spread of Coronavirus/Covid-19 in the community, Wentworth-Douglass Hospital has changed its visitor policy, is reducing elective procedures, is closing The Works Health & Fitness Center, and cancelling certain events. Wentworth-Douglass Hospital is no longer allowing visitors. This includes members of the general public visiting the hospital cafeteria or public spaces and anyone under the age of 18. There are exceptions to this rule, including for caregivers who are escorting patients to their appointments, for pediatric and labor & delivery patients, and for those visiting patients receiving end-of-life care. To support these new guidelines, some entrances at Wentworth-Douglass Hospital will be closed. Wentworth-Douglass has opened a Respiratory Illness Clinic under a tent outside the Emergency Department of the hospital to help triage and treat patients with moderate to severe respiratory symptoms. If you are feeling ill, please contact your primary care provider who can

help determine the correct course of action should you need treatment. Wentworth-Douglass Hospital has started to delay some appropriate elective procedures. Areas impacted include surgical, endoscopic, pain center, cardiology, and interventional radiology cases scheduled over the next several weeks. Staff are reaching out to patients whose elective procedures will be delayed. Patients with questions about an upcoming procedure should contact their provider’s office. To further support the need for social distancing, The Works Family Health and Fitness Center will remain closed for the foreseeable future. Appoint-

ments for patients of Physical and Occupational Therapy at The Works will be moved to the Wentworth-Douglass Hospital Rehab Services department in Dover. These patients will be notified directly. Lastly, upcoming public events at Wentworth-Douglass Hospital will be canceled now through at least May 2, 2020. This includes, but is not limited to, community education and support groups.

As people came in for Mass, it didn’t take long for her smiling face to generate donations. The parish also made Ophelia’s parents the beneficiary of the annual St. Patrick’s Day Dinner Dance at St. Mary which was held, fortunately, prior to the restrictions on large gatherings in Maine. “At the start of the event, I gave a welcoming speech which included Ophelia’s story and the financial struggles her parents are going through. The outpouring of love was overwhelming,” said Lizotte. What initially began with a goal of making a $3,000 donation had grown into a massive display of caring for a baby most donors had never met. “This morning, March 18, I was able to send a check for $10,000 to the parents,” said Lizotte. “Ophelia’s dad was at a

loss for words to express how so many people he didn’t know could do so much to help them in their time of need.” But the inspiration extended outside of Wells and will lead to an additional donation to this family. “I just checked our council’s post office box and collected a large handful of mail which included checks from places such as Portland, Arundel, Scarborough, Cumberland, Presque Isle, and Caribou, all containing notes of prayers and hope for little Ophelia,” said Lizotte on Wednesday afternoon. “Needless to the say, another large check for financial support for this family will soon follow all due to the Christian virtues of charity which are clearly shining in the Diocese of Portland. Anyone wishing to make a donation may send a check, made out to the “Knights of Columbus,” to P.O. Box 3050, Wells, ME 04090.

Health & Fitness Mental Health Tips During Outbreak COVID-19, or the coronavirus, has had a global reach and is impacting both the physical and mental health of Mainers. The Maine state chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI Maine) knows that fear and anxiety about a disease can be overwhelming and cause strong emotions in adults and children, as well as exacerbate existing stressors and mental health concerns. Below are suggestions for maintaining overall mental wellness, as well as recommendations for students and those working from home. General Mental Health Tips Take a break from social media and the news. It’s important to stay informed, but if the constant updates and stories are causing stress, it’s okay to turn off the phone or television to relax. Get enough sleep. This is an important step towards preventing any illness. Eat healthy! A well-balanced diet is a vital aspect of physical and mental health. Practice mindfulness. Spend some time breathing or meditating. Mindfulness techniques can help us recognize negative thought patterns, such as catastrophizing, which might be exacerbated due to COVID-19. Move and get some exercise. Even getting outside and taking a quick walk can benefit one’s mental health. Check in with your loved ones, near and far. If concerned about spreading COVID-19 or being exposed to it, consider calling, texting, or video chatting rather than meeting up in person. Check in with a mental health professional. If you are seeing a counselor or therapist, consider bringing up how you are feeling about COVID-19 during your regular session. Give the NAMI Maine HelpLine a call at 800464-5767, ext. 1, or the Maine Warm Line a call at 1-866771-WARM (9276). If you or a loved one are in crisis, call the State Crisis Line at 1-888-5681112.

ity and focus for some, it can also feel isolating and employees can miss out on important social interactions that take place in an office or work environment. Here are a few tips on staying mentally well while working from home: Stick to a set work schedule, just as you would normally. Maintain routines such as getting dressed as you would for a typical work day, taking regularly scheduled breaks, etc. Create a dedicated work space in your home that is separate from other activities. Move! Get outside and take a quick walk on your breaks. Find ways to communicate and stay connected to your team, whether through Teams, Slack, Google Chat/Hangouts, etc. Set boundaries—be sure to clock in and clock out as you would when going to and from the office.

A MESSAGE TO OUR COMMUNITY From Jennifer Cutts, MD York Hospital Chief Medical & Quality Officer

Robin LaBonte York Hospital Chief Financial & Operations Officer

We wanted to take a few minutes to reassure you – our friends, neighbors, colleagues, and partners – that, though the times may be uncertain, our commitment to you is rock solid. York Hospital is here to provide you the very best care now, as always. Because the Covid-19 situation changes daily, our expert medical and nursing staff are vigilant in tracking developments with our Federal and State Centers for Disease Control. We have worked tirelessly to prepare our facilities, equipment, and teams to prioritize and get ready to meet community’s needs. We have also rapidly expanded our ability to use video and phone telemedicine visits, so that, when appropriate, we can care for you safely at home. What can you do to avoid getting sick? Prevention is the best medicine. Wash your hands, keep appropriate social distance, and stay home as much as possible during this pandemic. If you develop new symptoms, call your provider first, before you present for care, unless you feel it is an emergency. Use your best judgment. As new information becomes available, we will continue to share it. Our website, www.yorkhospital.com, is a great source of updates. We are here for you and look forward to serving you for many years to come. Jennifer Cutts, MD Robin LaBonte

Safe Haven Humane Society

WELLS Safe Haven’s shelter was already closed due to a few kitties testing positive for ringworm. Now with the coronavirus pandemic, we’re not sure we’ll have enough volunteers to keep our thrift shop open. So please be patient if we have to close our shop at times. Our shop, of course, is the financial backbone of our shelter, and with the added expenses of ringworm testing and treatment, we’ll be especially grate-

Daisy would do well in a home with maybe another small dog and kids over seven. If you would like to meet Daisy, call Emma’s Angels Rescue 207-6765599 or 207-671-1367. Emma’s Angels Rescue is an all-volunteer organization in North Berwick. Needed at this time – Dry dog food. We feed Blue Buffalo or 4 Health (Tractor Supply) Thanks in advance!

ful for any donations, large or small, to help us weather this challenging time. Please mail your donation to Safe Haven, PO Box 91, Wells, ME 04090. It’s been a great learning experience, working with the feral cats at our shelter who cannot be treated for ringworm because they are too fearful. We’re hopeful they will “self cure” as medical experts say they can. The ones who are approachable are being orally medicated and dipped in a special medicated bath. Those kitties are being successfully cleared of ringworm. Cats have a better chance to self cure if they remain happy and unstressed, and we keep that in mind. We use Feliway sprays to calm them, and provide additional disposable environmental comforts, like cardboard boxes with door and window openings cut in them. They’re also getting sprinklings of catnip and cat treats, but the best thing of all is a calming human friend who gives them comfort, encourages braveness, and engages in playtime with a laser toy or wand toy. Fearful kitties are in great need of non-threatening human companionship. Even the most fearful kitty at Safe Haven shows improvement if their socializing is consistent. But if it stops for a day or two, we have to start again from the beginning, because their fear is so great. That’s why this year we hope to grow a bigger team to work on the social health of our kitties. Perhaps you’ll become a volunteer. When you do, Rainy will be one of the cats you’ll work with.

Cassidy has three grown kids of his own – Grace, 25, Chloe, 23, and Colin, 21. His advice to young people with astronaut aspirations is to get a good education, including a master’s degree in science, technology, engineering or mathematics. “They also need to be a good person and a good teammate. You’ll be living in close quarters for a while, so think who you’d want to camp with,” he joked. His mother, Janice, says Chris is like that. “He’s smart and a good guy. I’m proud of him,” she said.

Animal Welfare Society KENNEBUNK Hey, do you like exploring? How about walking, hiking, hunting? Well, so does Beverly and she’s looking for some fun-loving and active people to do it with. Since arriving at AWS, she’s sure had a good time. The folks here take her for daily walks, play with her and just let her be her goofy and energetic self even though she likes to bark and bay sometimes. Beverly would be perfect with active and outdoorsy people who like to adventure in this beautiful state of Maine. Beverly likes to play with other dogs but would prefer to be the only one in a home. She’s been looking for a special family for a long time and she’s been very patient indeed. To learn more about Beverly, including how to make an adoption appointment, visit www.animalwelfaresociety.org.

BUSINESS & FINANCE

New Flexibility in Maine’s Unemployment Program AUGUSTA Maine Department of Labor will begin to implement new flexible unemployment insurance (UI) measures that will benefit both workers and businesses thanks to emergency legislation from Governor Mills that was enacted by the Legislature recently. These temporary measures will help relieve the financial burden of temporary layoffs, isolation, and medically-necessary quarantine by making unemployment benefits available to indi-

viduals whose employment has been impacted by COVID-19. “If workers do not have access to employer-provided paid time off or leave, this legislation can provide an important partial wage replacement,” Labor Commissioner Laura Fortman said. “This helps not only the individual but allows employers to retain their workforce and stabilize local economies.” Individuals who would otherwise be able and available to work and who maintain contact with their employer may now be

eligible for UI. Anyone who has filed for unemployment benefits on or after March 15 will be reviewed under these new temporary measures. The legislation temporarily revises eligibility requirement to provide unemployment coverage in situations not typically covered, such as: An employer temporarily ceases operation due to COVID19; An individual is quarantined with the expectation of returning to work once the quarantine is over;

Home Sales and Prices Increase AUGUSTA February statistics, released by Maine Listings, indicate a 5.75% increase in sales of single-family existing homes, comparing February 2020

to February 2019. The median sales price for the 865 homes sold reached $216,900—an uptick of 8.45% over that same time period. The MSP indicates that half of the homes were sold for

Block Party’s Grants KITTERY “Building Blocks: Bringing Our Neighborhood Together for the Greater Good” is the motto for the Kittery Block Party held in June this year. The event isn’t just about “rocking the block” with local music, crafts, food, entertainment, and educational activities, but also about supporting local non-profit organizations to help strengthen the Kittery community. The Kittery Block Party has awarded over $100,000 to non-profits since 2010. Last year’s event raised more than $20,000 and helped Kittery Historical and Naval Museum, Fair Tide, Inc., Kittery Recreation Department, My Breast Cancer Support, Rice Public Library; The Dance Hall Kittery, Kittery Odyssey of the Mind, Kittery Community Visual Arts Council, Kittery School Nutrition, Traip Interact Club, Kittery Art Association, York Hospital, Kittery Land Trust, Inc., Kittery Advocates for All, Womenaid of Greater Portsmouth, The Center for Wildlife, Kittery Benevolent Association, and A House for ME. If your 501(c)3 organization would like to apply for a grant, visit www.kittery-

blockparty.org before April 10 to review funding criteria and fill out an application. Awards typically range from $500 to $3,000, and top priority is given to requests from organizations who contribute to the success of the Block Party, are located in the greater Kittery area, and do not have state or national affiliations. Grantees will be announced at the Block Party on June 20. The party is free for all ages, generously sponsored by area businesses. This year’s support comes from Bob’s Clam Hut, Kittery Trading Post, York Hospital, Kennebunk Savings Bank, and Harbour Light Strategic Marketing.

more and half sold for less. “February 2020 was an especially strong month for real estate sales, recording the second highest number of February sales (865) since we began keeping statistics 20 years ago,” says Tom Cole, 2020 President of the Maine Association of Realtors and Managing Broker of Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate The Masiello Group in Brunswick. Nationwide, sales of single-family existing homes are up 7.3% comparing February 2020 to February 2019. The National Association of Realtors reports that the national MSP jumped 8.1% to $272,400. Regionally, sales across the Northeast increased 2.9%, and the regional MSP rose 8.2% to $295,400. “Concern for the health and safety of Realtors’ clients and customers is paramount,” says Cole. “With the current COVID-19 outbreak, Realtors have listened to, and are adapting to, clients’ and customers’ concerns and needs. Along with our industry partners and by following CDC guidelines, buyers and sellers that want to, or need to, are able to make their real estate goals happen.”

Signs of Success in Kennebunk KENNEBUNK Meet Mike Prevost, of Prevost Signs, who has been giving local businesses their identity for 25 years in Kennebunk, across Maine, and throughout the country and world. Most recently he completed the new sign on the Mat Lanigan Bridge welcoming tourists into the Kennebunks. Garden Street Bowl and Crotux Restaurant are among some of his work. He recently created the new sign at Mother’s Beach, as well as the Kennebunk High School sign. Through the years he’s created and refurbished thousands of pieces, from Kennebunk Fire Department trucks to the wraps on W.B. Mason vans to wooden signs for The Nonantum and The Kennebunk Inn, among the many. “For an eclectic guy who has tried every job in the world,

I have found my love in signs,” said Prevost. “When I started doing this, I didn’t see it as work. And 25 years later, it still doesn’t feel like work.” Prevost Signs is a full-service sign shop that does it all. Prevost says he especially loves the projects that others have said can’t be done.

Banks Provide Assistance to Local Food Pantries

Eliot Historical Society Receives Community Grant ELIOT Kennebunk Savings bank recently awarded the Eliot Historical Society a Community Promise Grant. The monies have been used to mount a 12foot canvas mural of the clipper ship, Nightingale, that, at one time, graced the wall of the home of Eliot school teacher Esther Morrow, who commissioned the painting. The Nightingale, was built by Samuel Hanscom, Jr. at the Hanscom Shipyard (now Green Acre) in Eliot, was adorned with a nearly full sized, carved figurehead of “the Swedish Nightingale” Jenny Lind, outfitted in Portsmouth and launched on June 16, 1851. The ship had a varied career, beginning as a renowned record-setting clipper, carrying cargo from England to ports in China, Indonesia and Australia; as an infamous slave ship in the 1850s, and later used by the Western Union Telegraph Co. to research sites to lay cables in the Bering Strait. Her final

incarnation was as a freighter for a Norwegian sea captain. The Nightingale was, in the end, abandoned in a North Atlantic storm in 1893. The ship’s figurehead was found and rescued, in 1994, from inside a barn on a Swedish farm, by antiques dealer, Karl-Eric Svardskog where it had been used as a scarecrow. Painted by local artist Gordon Carlisle, the Nightingale mural has been placed in

the Eliot Elementary School where Esther taught for over 25 years and where the second grade Eliot History Studies Program that she created, continues to bring alive the history of the town to its children. Sundance Sign Company of Dover, NH handled the mounting and installation of the mural, which was unveiled during a special program at the school on March 16 in celebration of Maine’s Bicentennial.

Partners Pledges $500 to the Alzheimer’s Association

Maine Community Bank employees present $22,500 to nine local food pantries. L to R: Nicole Regan, Customer Service Representative; Betsy Boudreau, Vice President, Marketing Director; Jeanne Hulit, President & CEO; Bethany Wilson, Marketing Specialist.

YORK COUNTY Centered on an unwavering commitment to the local communities they serve, Biddeford Savings and Mechanics Savings recently donated a total of $22,500 to local food pantries in their market areas to help fight the issue of food insecurity. Maine ranks 12 in the nation for food insecurity. People of all ages are struggling to put food on their tables, but the trend is most distressing for the youngest and oldest citizens of our state. One in five children in Maine are considered food insecure, as are 16% of our senior population. Food pantries must rely heavily on donations from area residents and businesses to continue to fill the need. In the first week after the merger between Biddeford Savings and Me-

chanics Savings, both divisions wanted to address the issue of food insecurity with donations to several food pantries in the communities of Central and Southern Maine. “Thankfully, there are many food pantries in our communities working tirelessly to provide fresh food and hot meals to our most vulnerable residents,” said Jeanne Hulit, President and CEO of Maine Community Bank, the parent company of Biddeford Savings and Mechanics Savings. “Our colleagues donate to and volunteer at the food pantries year-round. We’ve seen the need grow, especially after the holidays, and are in a position to help,” Hulit added. The following food pantries each received a $2,500 donation to purchase food and

YORK COUNTY Partners Bank is proud to announce that the Alzheimer’s Association, Maine Chapter, has been awarded the Bank’s latest $500 gift from its monthly Employee Donation Program. Roger Guerin, who was randomly selected to designate a charity for January, is the 46th employee to participate in this program. Serving the entire state of Maine from its Scarborough office, the Alzheimer’s Association, Maine Chapter, provides education and support to all those facing Alzheimer’s and other dementias—including those living with the disease, caregivers, health care professionals and families. The organization is also committed to

other nonperishable goods: High Street Food Pantry in Auburn; Biddeford Food Pantry in Biddeford; Mid Coast Hunger Prevention Program in Brunswick; Trinity Jubilee Center in Lewiston; Community Outreach Services in Kennebunk; Saco Food Pantry in Saco; Project GRACE in Scarborough; Windham Food Pantry and Clothes Closet in Windham; and Waterboro Food Pantry in Waterboro.

advocating for the needs and rights of individuals facing Alzheimer’s disease and advancing critical research toward methods of treatment, prevention and, ultimately, a cure. This cause is particularly important to Guerin—a SVP/ CFO who is retiring in February after 32 years at Partners Bank—since he lost his mother to the disease in November 2014. A dedicated advocate who participates with his family every year in the Alzheimer’s Walks, Guerin specially requested that

the donation be made in his mother’s memory. “Alzheimer’s is a devasting disease, with 28,000 patients and 69,000 caregivers in Maine alone,” says Partners Bank President & CEO Blaine Boudreau. “Roger’s donation to the Alzheimer’s Association, Maine Chapter, will hopefully play some role in helping others who face the same challenges he did.” For more information on the Alzheimer’s Association, Maine Chapter, visit www.alz. org/maine.

Carolyn “Carlie” Chick, 82 YORK – Carolyn Chick passed away peacefully on Tuesday, March 10, 2020 at Sentry Hill in York Harbor, where she had resided for the past three years. She was surrounded by her three children and loving husband of 60+ years. Carlie was the oldest daughter of three children born of Norman and Kathryn Paige. She is survived by her brother

Shortly after graduating from high school, she met and married Lee B. Chick and moved to York, raising three children. She enjoyed a varied working career, but family was her priority. She loved spending time at the ocean. Carlie also loved going to their camp (“Tekakwitha”) located at Moosehead Lake any time of year. For more than 40 years, Carlie and Lee enjoyed many seasons of boating, fishing, and entertaining family and friends at the lake. Catching the sun’s rays on the dock, feeding the ducks swimming by, or picking fresh blueberries and cooking

L. Cronin of Limestone Lane, former resident of North Berwick, passed away peacefully March 14, 2020 in Portsmouth Regional Hospital after a period of failing health. Judy was born in Stamford, CT, on December 9, 1945, the daughter of Carl and Carol (Sloat) Borner and graduate of Jole Barlow High School in Redding, CT. Judy was the administrator for the Forestry Department in Durham, NH; a representative at Creative Solutions Blind Company, designed oriental rugs which were manufactured in England, as well as a draftsman, drawing blue prints in her own home. Judy was a selfproclaimed craftsman whose talents in so many areas were amazing. She was a craft-extraordinaire, sewing anything from clothing to Christening gowns, knitting sweaters that came to life, turning pine needles into baskets that were sold on the reservations, seeing a sweater or outfit and making her own pattern for it. Judy loved to upcycle making old things new again. She was at her happiest moments when

she was designing something new and beautiful. Christmas was filled with gifts of her hand made goods to be cherished for generations. Judy will be sorely missed by her children Todd Cronin and wife Michelle of Berwick, and Piper Cronin-LeMaster and husband Jeff of Fayetteville, NC; brother Kent Borner and wife Martha of Preston, CT; two sisters Nancy Stockwell and husband John in Wendover, England, and Cathy Borner of Canterbury, NH. Grammy will be missed by her grandchildren Colby Cronin, Nicholas and Joseph Batal, and Moriah Cronin, and greatgranddaughter Cadence Batal. A celebration of Judy’s life will be held over the summer.

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.

Friends of Rice Public Library Dinner Raffle Raises Over 2K

KITTERY POINT Bistro 1828 is typically closed on Tuesday nights but six fortunate guests recently enjoyed a four-course dinner specially prepared and donated by the co-owners of Bistro1828 at Pepperrell Cove. It was part of a major fundraising effort on behalf of Kittery’s library. Gail Lemont, the President of the Friends of Rice Public Library, announced that 2,179 raffle tickets for the dinner were sold over the last few months at a cost of $10 each. The Friends of Rice Public Library non-profit organization raises approximately $6,500 each year to benefit library programs. Says Lemont, “We are so grateful to Henry and Eides Ares for agreeing to donate their time and talent for what was our biggest fundraiser. The $2,179 raised will benefit Rice’s summer reading program and help purchase museum tickets offered to patrons at a discount.” The Ares live in Kittery and have two daughters who attend Traip Academy. They are

co-owners the businesses at Pepperrell Cove, along with Donna Ryan and Ann Kendall. Says Henry, “I grew up in Kittery using the library and my family continues to enjoy it as well. We are looking forward to the upcoming renovations there and were happy to say yes when Gail Lemont reached out to us at the Block Party to host the annual dinner raffle. We’re looking forward to participating in an even bigger raffle next year!” Kittery resident Lyn Rosoff was the lucky winner after her name was randomly selected. She brought five of her friends to enjoy the private dinner at the Bistro in the heart of Kittery Point that opened a year ago: “What a fantastic raffle idea. I had great fun working with Henry on the menu, and my guests were thrilled to be part of it. The meal was incredible!” Bistro 1828 is one of four businesses at Pepperrell Cove. It opened a year ago after an extensive renovation to the historic former Frisbee’s 1828 Market.

CMP Earns Emergency Recovery Award YORK COUNTY The Edison Electric Institute (EEI) presented Central Maine Power Company with the association’s “Emergency Recovery Award” for its outstanding power restoration efforts after a Nor’easter hit Maine. The Emergency Recovery Award is given to select EEI member companies to recognize their extraordinary efforts to restore power to customers after service disruptions caused by severe weather conditions or other natural events. The winners are chosen by a panel of judges following an international nomination process. Central Maine Power Company received the award during EEI’s Winter Board and Chief Executives Meeting in Tucson, Ariz.

In October, an intense Nor’easter struck Maine, resulting in 232,877 outages in Central Maine Power Company’s service territory. Due to their tireless work, crews restored service to more than 75 percent of customer within one day, and 100% of customers within six days after the storm, dedicating 71,500 man-hours to the recovery. The coastline particularly was hit hard by hundreds of fallen trees. “Central Maine Power Company’s work to restore service safely and quickly to customers, often in dangerous conditions, makes them deserving of this award,” said EEI President Tom Kuhn. “Their efforts exemplify the high standards our industry seeks to uphold, and I applaud their commitment

Kennebunk Savings Reaches $1M in Donations KENNEBUNK Kennebunk Savings ended 2019 with a record $1 million in donations to area nonprofits. The bank hit this momentous milestone back in December with a $25,000 donation to Kennebunk Elementary and helped the school move closer to breaking ground on their ambitious, inclusive playground project. “It’s our biggest donation to date,” said Anush Hansen, Kennebunk Elementary PTA member and committee volunteer. Planning started over a year ago, and when fundraising began, Kennebunk Savings was top of mind. “We knew they were committed to contributing to the community. The donation has really helped build more momentum, so we hope to get the playground built by this summer.” The age-appropriate playground will support students, youth and families of all abilities from the community, and replace the current 16-year-old structure pieced together with often rusted parts from other schools. Ex-

tensive ramps, interconnected bridges, and a turnaround platform will improve accessibility for wheelchair-bound students and even adults who have difficulty climbing but want to play with children in their family. “It is really exciting for us as an institution to be able to give over one million dollars to nonprofit organizations in our community this year,” said Bradford C. Paige, President and CEO of Kennebunk Savings. “To hit this milestone with a donation to the Kennebunk Elementary PTA is extra-special. This donation will help to create an all-ability

playground that will not only benefit the elementary school but surrounding communities as well. The project embraces inclusiveness, builds community, and allows kids to be kids.” Every year, Kennebunk Savings gives away 10% of after-tax profits through the Community Promise program. Community Promise contributions for 2019 total $1,050,000, and continue to focus on organizations that support health and wellness, community and economic advancement, arts and culture, education and innovation, environment and animal welfare.

Award Given to Work Opportunities Unlimited SOUTH BERWICK Katie Lambert of South Berwick was recently presented with the Success at Work Award at Work Opportunities Unlimited in Dover, NH. The company, which works to break down the barriers to community-based employment for people living with disabilities, recognized Lambert for her excellence in supporting the mission of Work Opportunities: creating new opportunities for success in the workplace, every day. As a contract administrator for accounting team, Lambert acts as a liaison between directors and funding sources, enabling directors to focus on client services and less on documentation and funding minutiae. “Katie makes a huge difference in my day-to-day,” says Tiffney Bergeron-Allard, regional director for Work Opportunities in Lowell, MA. “She’s

to their customers.” “I am grateful to all of our employees and contractors who work long hours on behalf of our customers,” said Central Maine Power Company President and CEO Doug Herling.

extremely competent in her role and is always one step ahead, anticipating what our needs will be in the field. Katie never seems to get overwhelmed and has a very good understanding of the ‘why’ behind what is being requested. There have been many times services have gone smoothly or meetings have been successful with referral sources due to the support Katie provides.” “It’s an honor to receive this award,” says Lambert. “I feel very fortunate to be part of Work Opportunities Unlimited. I enjoy contributing to the team effort and seeing their accomplishments as they work to help clients realize their potential; its inspirational. I’ve had the op-

portunity to work with most of the states and Work Opportunities offices; I’m really enjoying being able to focus on the contracts and understanding all they entail.” Marcia Welsh, controller at Work Opportunities Unlimited says that Lambert is an integral part of the accounting team. “Her patience and ability to understand the various contracts within multiple states, many complicated and all with differing requirements, is invaluable,” says Welsh. “The relationships she has independently built with funding sources allows the directors to focus more on the client.” For more information, visit www.workopportunities.net.

Raymond Dube, Jr., 60 NORTH BERWICK – Raymond Dube, Jr. of Phoenix, AZ, formerly of North Berwick, passed away unexpectedly at his home on Sunday, March 8, 2020. He was born May 24, 1959, the son of Raymond and Elaine (Stevens) Dube. Ray was a 1977 graduate of Noble High School where he loved wrestling and playing jokes on his classmates. Ray was a volunteer firefighter for the Wm Hill Engine Company in North Berwick. He took EMT classes in Portland and volunteered for the North Berwick Rescue Squad. For several years, he worked for Hussey Seating in North Berwick. He met his wife, Elizabeth, at a Fireman’s Convention in Presque Isle. They relocated to Phoenix, AZ. in the ‘80s where he worked as a manager in the print shop at ADOT. He went on to work at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport as Maintenance Supervisor. Ray will be remembered as a gentle giant; a big teddy bear with an even bigger heart. He was a huge sports fan especially of the Arizona Coyote hockey team. He was a cat lover who leaves behind his adored kitties, Char and Coal. He was a lifetime member of the NRA who loved fishing and reading, but mostly spending time with his wife of 40 years, the love of his life. He was predeceased by his grandparents George and Norma Stevens; father Raymond Dube, Sr.; sister Nicolle Dube; and uncles Wayne and George Stevens. He will be sorely missed by his beloved wife Elizabeth (Fortin) Dube; mother Elaine Dube and sister Corinne Dube, both of North Berwick; brother Michael Dube and wife Cheryl of Muldrow, OK; and many nieces, nephews, and cousins. There will be no public services. Friends who wish may contribute to The Mayo Clinic, 200 1st Street SW, Rochester, MN 55905 in memory of Raymond Dube directed to The Mayo Clinic in Phoenix, AZ. Condolences may be expressed at www.johnsonfuneralhomeme.com.

Julie Anne Morrison, 78 WELLS – Julie Anne Morrison passed away peacefully March 6, 2020 in the comfort of her home surrounded by her family. Julie, known affectionately by many as “Jules” along with her husband, Jim, purchased an old cape and barn on 36 acres of land down a dirt road with no power or indoor plumbing. From those humble beginnings and with lots of sweat equity, hidden talents, tireless work and dedication built a successful business, which they named Merriland Farm after the Merriland River that you cross over to get there. She listed her occupation with humor as “Jules of all trades” and became well-loved for her homemade jams, pies and tea breads baked from the berries grown on their farm and was admired for her amazing green thumb that made Merriland Farm such a unique and special place to visit. Over the 40 years they have lived here the business has morphed from a road side stand and fields of berries to a full-service restaurant and par 3 golf course. Through the years she and her husband transitioned the business over to their children. Julie still remained a staple and you could find her there most days either baking, washing, planting, watering, weeding, picking berries, or walking around with any number of her six grandchildren. She leaves behind big shoes to fill and holes in the hearts of many. She is survived by her husband of 54 years Jim, son Jon, two daughters Holly and Jennifer, and grandchildren Sam, Sydnie, Bailey, Emily, Summer, and James. A celebration of life will be held on Sunday, May, 17, 3-5 p.m. at the Merriland Farm Cafe on Coles Hill Road in Wells. In lieu of flowers, donations in her name can be made to Colon Cancer Research and Prevention Fund at www.twfightcancer.org. Arrangements are entrusted to the Johnson Funeral Home, North Berwick. Please share any memories or photos and express condolences at www.johnsonfuneralhomeme.com. • • • • • • • • • •

U.S. Air Force Brigadier General Carolyn Protzmann, 64 SOUTH BERWICK – U.S. Air Force Brigadier General Carolyn Protzmann, who retired as the commander of the New Hampshire Air National Guard in 2015, died Friday, March 13, 2020, at Brigham and Women’s Hospital following a brief illness. She was 64. Born December 9, 1955, in Franklin, NH, Protzmann was the daughter of the late Merton and Catherine (Sullivan) Tolman.

In her retirement, she was committed to veterans causes, serving as a lead organizer of the annual Seacoast Veterans Conference, and founder and chair of the New Hampshire Military Assistance Foundation. Her family includes husband James Protzmann of South Berwick; children Tim Protzmann and wife Roxanne of South Berwick, Sarah Theriault and husband Adam of Buxton, and Chris Protzmann and wife Emily of Buxton; three grandchildren Finnegan, Everett, and Vega; brother Thomas Tolman of Tilton, NH; sister Mary Johanna Brown of Franklin, NH; as well as many nieces and nephews.

Ronald Edward Avery, Sr., 67

YORK – Ronald Edward Avery, Sr., a lifelong resident of York, passed away on March 16, 2020 after a courageous five year battle with brain cancer. He died peacefully at home, in the company of his loving wife and four sons. Ron was born on September 17, 1952 to Clarence and

Sarah Avery. A member of York High School’s class of 1970, he also graduated with a degree in criminal justice from the University of Maine in 1974. That same year, he married the love of his life, whom he had met in the seventh grade, Wanda-Lee Butler. A graduate of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s training academy in Quantico, VA, Ron served as a law enforcement officer for nearly four decades. He was the first juvenile aide officer in Kittery. He also served as Chief Deputy for the York County Sheriff’s Department and retired as Sergeant of Detectives in Kittery. He was a devoted New England sports fan, particularly the Boston Celtics. The week prior to Ron’s passing, the NBA suspended the Celtics season. Ron found it humorous when his family jokingly told him that the Celtics had stopped their season in his honor. Despite being an avid Celtics fan, there were no athletes more important to watch than his grandchildren. Ron was predeceased by his parents Clarence and Sarah, and four older siblings: Jill Hamm, Shirley Hendley, Kenneth Avery, and Gerald Avery. He is survived by his wife of 46 years, Wanda Avery, and their four sons: Ronald Avery, Jr., wife Elizabeth and their children Lincoln, Daphne, and Tobin; Brandon Avery, wife Johnna and their children Nya and Ronin; Ryan Avery, his children Myles and Della, and their mother Melissa; Ryan’s girlfriend Rebekah and her children Tatum and Eli; and Jared Avery, wife Angela and their children Owen, Addisyn, and Quinn. Due to the current restrictions on large gatherings from the CDC, a private service will be held with the family at the First Parish Cemetery in York. A public memorial service will be held at a date and time to be announced later this spring. In lieu of flowers, the family has requested donations to be sent to the National Brain Tumor Society at www.braintumor.org. Lucas & Eaton Funeral Home, York, is directing arrangements (www.lucaseatonfuneralhome. com.) • • • • • • • • • •

Brenda Pollock, 59 ELIOT – Brenda Pollock passed away March 19, 2020 at home surrounded by family and friends. She was born in Portsmouth, NH, on April 10, 1960 to Elias and Janet Kyreages. Brenda was the daughter of an Air Force Officer, and she grew up knowing the value of family, laughter, and doing your best. She graduated from Barrington College in Rhode Island and loved her career as an Activity Director in a nursing home there. She married the love of her life, Craig, and they started their family and eventually moved back to her beautiful Maine. Brenda treasured her boys and loved being a sports mom: she never missed a game. She especially loved her grandchildren, and they adored their “Benna.” Spending time with them and watching her boy’s parent was one of her greatest joys. Brenda loved the mounSee POLLOCK page 28...

...POLLOCK from page 27 tains, especially the Whites, and enjoyed gardening, baking, and hiking with her dog. She was a skilled crafter, and made beautiful scarves and rugs. She had a competitive streak and loved beating her husband at mini golf, and enjoyed a good game of Crokinole or Trouble. Brenda could bring any plant back to life, and thrived on planning and hosting family events, spoiling all with her amazing cooking and hospitality. She often showed her love for family and friends with gifts of generosity, which if you were lucky, included oatmeal chocolate chip cookies and cinny buns, and her pie crust was unmatched. She was also quick to bless many with a pick me up, whether it was a call, card, visit or something delicious. Brenda’s strong faith in Christ Jesus was shown through her to everyone she met. Whether it was her encouragement to others, or the way in which she weathered the challenges of chronic pain and hospitalizations, her personal relationship with Jesus was lived out daily. She never gave up, and her kindness and life gave hope and encouragement to many. She gained her strength from the Lord Jesus Christ, and His love for her seeped out to others. Brenda is survived by her husband Craig of Eliot; son Mark and wife Allie of Lincolnville; son Luke and wife Nicole of Old Orchard Beach; four grandchildren; mother Janet; and sister Tamara and husband Larry. She also leaves a host of friends and loved ones, each whom she made feel special in their own right by her love and kindness. A celebration of Brenda’s life will be held at a later date. Online condolences may be made by visiting www.jspelkeyfuneralhome.com.

KENNEBUNK The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced it has acquired property in Kennebunk that will serve as the future location of a new visitor center and administrative offices for the Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge and the Gulf of Maine Coastal Program. The new facility, located at 188 Brown Street in Kennebunk, is expected to open sometime in 2022 after work remodeling the building is completed. The refuge headquarters office and visitor center are currently located in Wells. Refuge Manager Karl Stromayer said the acquisition will “stand as a lasting tribute to the former owners of the property and to Rachel Carson, the worldrenowned environmentalist,

marine biologist and author.” The visitor center will house exhibits of Service conservation work and showcase the life and contributions of Rachel Carson, who lived and conducted field work in Maine and also served as an aquatic biologist and editor in chief for the Service. Carson has been credited with launching the contemporary environmental movement through her book, Silent Spring and advocated for environmental policies that would protect human health and the environment. Stromayer said the location with frontage on the Mousam River provides excellent opportunities to provide wildlife observation, fishing, environmental education and nature interpretation. Trails and observation platforms are also planned for the property.
