Small Business News and Resources By now you likely know the CARES Act was passed on Friday, 3/27. HOWEVER, the Federal government has a 15 day rule-writing period (that started Friday) to iron out the kinks, so to speak. What that means is some of the resources permitted in the legislation are not available yet and all information is subject to change until those rules are in place. It is important you know that the information below is the current understanding and could change over the course of the rule-writing period. See the “Small Business Owner’s Guide to the CARES Act” for details, but here are the key points:

Debt Forgiveness The Act allows for 6 months of existing SBA loans forgiven. It is unknown what you need to do to get this at this time or if it is automatic. If you aren’t sure if an existing loan is an SBA loan, please ask your creditor. What can you do right now? Determine if you have existing loans that are eligible by speaking with your lenders. Paycheck Protection Program Loans/Forgiveness New Paycheck Protection Program loans will forgive up to 8 weeks of payroll if you keep employees on from February 15June 30, 2030 (on a sliding scale). Additional funds obtained through the PPP loan are amortized out at 4% interest for up to 10 years and can only be used for payroll, rent, loan interest, utilities, and employee benefits. As it’s understood right now, loan amount will be 250% of average total monthly payroll (including benefits) excluding employees who make over $100k/year. We believe sole proprietors/independent contractors, and members of LLCs will be able to count as employees but may need to demonstrate their costs differently. It could take 2+ weeks for the Fed to write the rules for this loan program, so you cannot apply for it yet. But it will be retroactive. You will apply through

Schools Offer Free Meals Program NORTH BERWICK Noble High School food service employees rolled out racks of bagged meals this past Friday morning, to the bus circle at the front of the building. They chat-
ted as they waited for families to pick up the meals. MSAD-60 Food Service Director Abbey Pelletier said outside the high school, “We realized that when school was going to be
closed, many children would go without food. So we decided as a district it was very important that we continue to feed the children during this time of unexpected closure.” The bags include two days’ worth on meals on Mondays, two days’ worth of meals on Wednesdays and one day on Fridays. The meal program is open to open to all students under the age of 18 who live in Berwick, North Berwick and Lebanon.

such stores include chain grocery stores. More than 75,000 square feet limit the number of customers in the store at one time to 100 and install protective shields between customers and checkout clerks as soon as practicable. Examples of such stores include Lowe’s, WalMart, Target and Home Depot. Retailers must enforce these limits and a six-foot separation between any customers waiting in lines. Any essential business which violates this Order will be subject to further on-site restrictions or closure until those violations are addressed. The Order shall be enforced by law enforcement as necessary and violations are a class E crime subject to up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine. In addition, compliance with Section IV of this Order may also be enforced by government officials who regulate licenses, permits or any other authorization to operate a business or occupy a building. It is the Governor’s hope that compliance will be voluntary, and that formal enforcement will not be necessary. These new requirements adjust and mandate prior recommendations from the Governor.

~ News ~ GWRLT Announces Spring Self-Guided Outings YORK COUNTY Great Works Regional Land Trust would like to introduce you to its 16 preserves with hiking trails in the towns of Berwick, North Berwick, South Berwick, Eliot, Ogunquit & Wells. Great Works is offering a self-guided hike series featuring a number of outings at suggested locations and times to take full advantage of the wonders of spring. Sign up with Great Works to receive a self-guided hiking packet by email that includes the trail map, an educational hand-
out and activity sheets for the specific preserve at email info@ gwrlt.org. Begin April with a walk at Kenyon Hill Preserve in South Berwick. Located at 110 Ogunquit Road. This hilly 108-acre preserve has many surprises along the 1-mile loop trail: dramatic ledges, verdant wetlands and old stone walls and foundations. Another walk to enjoy in early April is a Tree ID walk. Visit Keay Brook Preserve, 251 Hubbard Rd, Berwick and see how many trees you can identify
Boating Registration Extended AUGUSTA Governor Janet Mills directed Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife Commissioner Judy Camuso to allow boaters to operate without a current 2020 registration and milfoil sticker until April 30. Boat registrations normally expire at the end of each calendar year. “With some town offices closed, and state offices closed to walk-in business due to the civil state of emergency, it made sense to relax the registration requirement until we can work out the all the logistical details,” said Commissioner Judy Camuso. The Department is providing more time and some additional methods for you to apply for a new boat registration or renew an expired one. The easiest way to renew your boat regis-
tration is online at www.mefishwildlife.com, but not all towns have signed up with the state’s internet vendor, InforME, to do registrations. First time boat registrations cannot be completed online, they must be done at the town office so the town can collect sales, and excise tax. Registrants should call their town office to see if they are open, and possibly register their boat with the town office through the postal system. If you just purchased a new boat from a dealer, you should have a temporary registration that is good for 20 days. If you cannot register your boat online or at the town office, MDIFW will work with you to register your boat. For the most up-to-date information, call 207-287-8000.

by their bark and buds alone. Mid-April is a great time to look for the abundant life in vernal pools. These seasonal pools teem with life in early spring: look for fairy shrimp, the egg masses of wood frogs and salamanders, spring peepers, tadpoles. Visit Tatnic Woods, 2460 Tatnic Road in Wells, and check out the network of vernal pools that occupy these 69 wooded acres. There is no signage here, but there is a small parking area off the road next to a gray house. Late April and early May is a beautiful time to discover spring ephemerals, wildflowers that bloom for a very short period and are some of the first plants to come up through the fallen leaves. Look for wild walnut, trillium, blood root, columbine, mayflower, marsh marigold, and hepatica along the trails. Bring your flower ID book or download Wildflower ID app by Sun-
bird (be sure to pick the Guide NE for Eastern states). Both Orris Falls Conservation Area (551 Emery’s Bridge Road) and Negutaquet Conservation Area (219 Lebanon Road in North Berwick) are recommended for spotting spring blooms. Orris Falls features an extensive beaver wetland, a glacial erratic called Balancing Rock, and the gorge of Orris Falls itself, as well as nearly 3 miles of trails. Negutaquet Conservation Area in North Berwick features woods, fields, the Weymouth family cemetery
(with a Revolutionary War veteran grave site) and frontage along the Negutaquet River. By mid-May the birds have returned and are nesting! Head to Beach Plum Farm in Ogunquit (610 Main Street) or Savage Wildlife Preserve in South Berwick (15 Dover-Eliot Road) and do a bird sit. Both preserves are great locations for birding with fields, woods and river frontage. Head to the preserves early and find a comfortable spot to sit for 15 minutes or so and just observe and listen.

Story of Four Military Chaplains
BERWICK At the February meeting of the Charles S. Hatch Unit 79 American Legion Auxiliary remembers the Four Military Chaplains who gave the ultimate sacrifice by having a ceremony in their honor. As the Ladies read about each Chaplain a candle was lit in their memory
as they stood behind the empty chairs with their pictures on it. On February 3, 1943, the U.S. troop transport S.S. Dorchester was torpedoed off of Greenland in the early hours of the morning. There were 900 men sleeping. In the middle of the chaos, the four Army Chaplains, John P. Washington, a
A Prayer for this Time of Challenge & Concern By the Rev. Dr. D. Stuart Dunnan

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.
Roman Catholic Priest; Alexander D. Good, a Rabbi; First Lts. Clark V. Poling, a minster; and George L. Fox, a minster, were quick to react. They passed out life jackets until all were gone, and then gave the ones that they were wearing to men who didn’t have one. In less than half an hour the S.S. Dorchester disappeared beneath the waves taking 600 men with her, but because of the brave actions of the four chaplains 200 men’s lives were saved. Remaining on the deck the four chaplains linked arms together, sang and prayed as survivors watched them vanish into the sea. Chaplain Poling’s father, himself serving in North Africa at the time, received word of
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. Amen. †

their noble acts and was inspired to erect a Chapel dedicated to their memory. The chapel of the Four Chaplains in Philadelphia, PA, is an interfaith shrine with altars for each faith, Catholic, Jewish, and Protestant, represented by the four men. It is open to all
races and religious faiths as an eternal light still burns, a fitting tribute to four men and their great last act of brotherhood, unity, and mercy. In 1961 The Chaplain’s Medal for Heroism, also called the Chaplains Medal of Honor, was presented to the Four Chaplains’ next of kin.

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.

It includes usually a grain, a fruit, sometimes some vegetables, milk, juice, and we’ve tried to include protein when possible.” Andrew Elwell, Co-Administrator of Mary Hurd Academy in North Berwick, said MSAD60 School District has been running the “Backpacks for Kids” Program for six years, providing meals to food-insecure students over the weekend. “We provide students two breakfast items, two lunch items, and two items for dinner,” he said. According to information on the MSAD-60 website, one in four Maine children are food-insecure. For those without transportation, school district vans can delivery the meals. Pelletier said, “We do have the option for meals to be delivered to households, as we know not everyone can pickup, so we have the option for families to sign up for that.”

With multiple live presentations throughout the day, creative engineering projects, podcasts, kid-friendly activities, and more, the Museum is inviting the community to visit remotely at www. mos.org/MOSatHome for new content every day. “With MOS at Home, the Museum is bringing world-class STEM experiences to people everywhere, taking the learning that happens every day in our Exhibit Halls to everyone in our community and beyond,” said Tim Ritchie, president of the Museum of Science, Boston. “Through MOS at Home, our talented team of educators and experts is making STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) accessible to people of every age and background, to help cultivate a generation of problem-solvers, doers and makers, one that enjoys and celebrates science, whether or not they are able to visit the Museum.” MOS at Home offerings will include presentations and content from all familiar areas of the Museum.

Art Instructor Offers Free Voice-Guided Art Tutorial YORK – A free voice-guided art tutorial is being offered by local artist/ art Instructor Joyce Amend. This audio lesson is designed for those who are looking for an instructional “art fix” during this time when many formal art activities have been suspended. Amend stated, “I have heard from many of my class participants about how they are missing the creative sessions they enjoy in art classes. I too, miss the atmosphere and the fun we have while we ‘make art’. I decided to put this voice recording together as an opportunity to extend a creative activity beyond a classroom setting.” The step-by-step voice-recorded lesson that Amend offers will focus on the meditative art of Zentangle - a process of creating art, wherein simple shapes and lines combine to make beautiful and interesting abstract artworks. The focus of Zentangle is on the process of creation, rather than the end result - and is both fun and stress-relieving. It is calming, relaxing and therapeutic - and tends to distract from some of the realities of life. There is no right or wrong way to Zentangle. If you can draw a line and a circle (perfectly or not), you can Zentangle. Previous artistic experience is not

required! No special materials are required in order to participate in this creative project. Just a piece of white paper or card stock will work just fine. A fine-line black pen is the only other item required. Then just set aside a quiet 30 minutes or so, sit back, relax and Amend will lead the way. Included with the audio voice recording will be a sample of a finished art piece and simple line drawings that illustrate and correspond with the steps in the voice instructions. This offer is open to anyone! If you would like to have Joyce Amend email her free voice recording to you, simply email your request to joyce@tangletalk.com
and she will be happy to send the information to you. Joyce Amend, CZT, studied art at Wesleyan University, CT, earning her Master’s Degree in Visual Art. Before relocating to York, ME, she taught art in Connecticut schools and was the recipient of various grants awarded by the Connecticut Commission on the Arts, the State of Connecticut and the Hartford Education Foundation. Amend is a Certified Zentangle Teacher, teaching workshops in Zentangle Meditative Drawing, Mandala Dot Painting, Acrylic Fluid Art Painting and Zentangle Meditative Drawing at various recreational, community and health groups throughout Maine and New Hampshire.

Coverage Act to improve private health insurance for Maine people and small businesses. The law – sponsored by House Speaker Sara Gideon and Senate President Troy Jackson on the Governor’s behalf and passed unanimously by the Legislature – makes some of the most common medical visits free or less costly, simplifies shopping for a plan, leverages federal funds to help
make premiums more affordable for small businesses, and puts Maine in the driver’s seat to ensure that all Maine people have clear choices for their coverage. “The Legislature’s unanimous endorsement of this law is a testament to what we can accomplish when we work together,” said Governor Mills. “The spread of COVID-19 has only reinforced the importance of affordable, high-quality health care and the need to ensure that our health care
system is tailored to meet the needs of Maine people and small businesses. I am proud of the bipartisan support this law won and thank Democrats and Republicans for working collaboratively with each other and my Administration to enact it.” The law takes effect 90 days after the Legislature’s adjournment on June 16, 2020.

Unemployed Should Consider Health Insurance STATEWIDE “Mainers who have recently lost their employment should consider their health insurance coverage options as soon as possible, to protect themselves and their families,” stated Maine Insurance Superintendent Eric Cioppa. The Superintendent reminded Mainers that individuals and families have 60 days from the day they lose their coverage to apply for a new policy. The best place to start is at www.healthcare.gov, which may provide more affordable options than an employer’s COBRA plan Cioppa stated. Depending on household size and household income, individuals and families may qualify for subsidized private insurance or free or low-cost coverage through MaineCare. Completing a Marketplace application will provide individuals and family with the information about what type of coverage they qualify for. Mainers can get help applying for coverage by contacting Consumers for Affordable Health Care at 800-965-7476. More information is available at www.mainecahc.org/covid19-coronavirus/.

Vogel Named ‘Rising Star’ by HospitalityMaine OGUNQUIT Scott Vogel, the 29-yearold owner of The Front Porch, is HospitalityMaine’s 2020 Rising Star. Owning the iconic entertainment spot since 2017, Vogel has made numerous changes in a short period. Now open yearround, the sing-along piano bar has become a dining destination for locals and visitors. “This community is above and beyond what I expected,” said Vogel, a Brooklyn native who grew up summering in Ogunquit. “The way the people support each other is remarkable.” This year marks the 40th anniversary of The Front Porch. Under Vogel’s leadership, The Front Porch helped raise and donate $230,000 for non-profit organizations last year. As chairman of the Ogunquit Chamber of Commerce, “his deep and genuine commitment to quality and community has made The Front Porch such a favorite, for locals and visitors alike,” said Alice Pearce, executive director of the Ogunquit Chamber of Commerce. Vogel was selected through a nomination process from the trade group’s membership. He worked his way up

through the hospitality ranks, starting as a busser at Amore Breakfast in Ogunquit, and later waiting tables at The Front Porch. But he left the restaurant business for the fast-pace of tech. In 2016, while taking a break from a software job in Manhattan to visit Maine, Vogel noticed a “for sale” sign on the white and yellow facade. A flash went off in his head. “I was not planning to be in the restaurant business. It’s the actual place itself that caught my eye,” said Vogel. Today, the University of Southern Maine grad oversees a staff of 70. The key to keep a young and experienced staff
engaged? “Treat them well and have fun putting smiles on people’s faces,” he said. Now, in response to the COVID-19 situation, Vogel has stepped up to help the community again. In addition to the paid delivery program that is in place, the last two weeks has seen over 200 free meals donated, several of which went to front-line workers in the York Hospital ER. The night of March 31 also played host to “Virtual Happy Hour”, two hours of sing-a-long piano streamed live on Facebook. “600 People tuned in and we raised $11,000 to support our out-of-work staff and their families,” announced Vogel.
Hackmatack Playhouse Honored in Concord CONCORD, NH / BERWICK The spotlights might be off and the theater in the barn shut down for the winter, but actors and directors from Hackmatack Playhouse in Berwick took center stage this past weekend as they were honored with one of New England’s top theater awards. In a ceremony at the Concord City Auditorium, Hackmatack received the Moss Hart Memorial Award from the New England Theater Conference in recognition of its production last summer of “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the NightTime.” “This Hackmatack show truly exemplified something beautiful in the human spirit,” said Chris Crossen-Sills, president of the board of the New England Theater Conference. “It provided us with a heartfelt journey and spoke of love and hope and family.” The award was accepted

that allow us to see the world through someone else’s eyes. But taking on the challenges of this show felt both terrifying and thrilling as a director.” Although a group from Hackmatack’s show attended the ceremony knowing they would be get a Moss Hart award, they were surprised to learn Hackmatack had taken the top honor, the Trophy Award, which gets announced on the night of Annual Excellence in Theatre Awards. The annual Moss Hart Memorial Award, which honors the memory of the late director and playwright, recognizes outstanding theater in New England with
a focus on plays that present “affirmative views of human courage and dignity, that have strong literary and artistic merit.” The “Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time,” which won five Tony awards in 2015, takes place mainly in the head of a boy on the autism spectrum, a teenager who was played by Colin Prato of Yarmouth, now a UNH senior. Before the show even opened Guptill knew it would be a success.“People were raving after dress rehearsal,” he recalled. “A lot of people came and said you have an incredible show here.”

BUSINESS & FINANCE Tax Filing Date Extended to July 15 WASHINGTON, D.C. / AUGUSTA U.S. Senator Angus King (I-Maine) applauded the Treasury Department for extending the federal tax filing deadline from April 15 to July 15. The decision comes one day after Senators King, John Thune (R-S.D.) and Steve Daines (R-Mont.) introduced the Tax Filing Relief for America Act, which would have made this
change legislatively, and it coincides with the Treasury Department’s previous announcement that it would extend the tax payment deadline for filers who owe the IRS 2019 taxes. Americans who would like to file early are still able to do so.. “In this unprecedented moment, we should be taking every possible precaution to protect our country’s most vulnerable citizens,” said Senator King. “By moving Tax Day to
July, we’re allowing American seniors to continue to ‘socially distance’ themselves without neglecting their tax responsibilities. This is a commonsense way to keep people safe, and I’m glad to see the Treasury Department acting quickly to clear up any confusion.” Governor Janet Mills and Commissioner of the Department of Administrative and Financial Services Commissioner Kirsten Figueroa also re-
cently announced that the State will extend the deadline for Maine income tax payments from April 15 to July 15. “Aligning Maine’s tax filing and payment deadlines with the federal government and waiving late fees and interest payments will ease the number of things that Maine businesses and taxpayers have to think about during this difficult time,” said DAFS Commissioner Kirsten Figueroa.
The state extended the payment deadline as well, which includes any final and estimated Maine income tax payments due. Any failure-to-pay penalties and interest will be abated for the period of April 16 through July 15. Sales tax and payroll payments will continue as normal. For more information, call 207-626-8475 or visit www.maine.gov/revenue.
Free Online Job Social Security’s Phone Service Only Training Fast Tracked AUGUSTA Governor Janet Mills signed an executive order allowing Maine Quality Centers (MQC) to swiftly address the changing demands in Maine’s job market due to widespread economic disruption caused by the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19). Governor Mills’ order suspends certain restrictions, on an as-needed basis, on job training funds managed by the Maine Community College System’s MQC program. Suspending those restrictions, such as eligibility and employer matching funds, gives the MQC program more flexibility to rapidly provide free online training to people who have been displaced by the recent effects of COVID-19. “Maine’s Community Colleges have always played a critical role in providing training and skills to strengthen our workforce. With the State battling COVID-19, that work is more important than ever,” said Governor Mills. “This Ex-
ecutive Order provides our Community College System with the flexibility it needs to enhance their workforce development efforts and help fill vital jobs, such as those in the health care field, as quickly as possible.” “We are grateful the governor acted decisively so that Maine Quality Centers can get to work immediately, training people online to meet the incredible, sudden demands of our changing economic landscape,” See JOBS page 14...

Williams Realty Welcomes Trolley Made in Ogunquit YORK Keep your eyes open for the latest addition to the Williams Realty Partners team – Homer, a 2008 Molly Trolley made in Ogunquit! WRP wants to ensure that Homer is a beloved part of the community and that’s why they enlisted their Social Media followers to help name the trolley! Over the course of six days, 35 suggestions were made and narrowed down to Sandy and Homer. Nearly two hundred of their Facebook fans voted and Homer rose to the top! Taking the place of WRP’s retired trolley, Stella, the new trolley will continue the tradition of providing real estate trolley tours and giving back
to the local community but in a more impactful way with additional seating and modern conveniences throughout the vehicle. “Our retired trolley, Stella, gave WRP the opportunity to participate in so many fun community events over the past two years including: The Polar Express, Annual WRP Month
of Giving Coat Drive, Memorial Day Parade and Cans for a Cure,” states Troy Williams, Owner of WRP. “The WRP team is excited to expand on the ‘Give Where You Live’ philosophy to offer the region even more ways to enjoy Homer.” To read all about Homer, visit www.williamsrealtypartners.com/meet-homer/.
Bank’s Employees Surpass 10,000 Volunteer Hours in 2019 KENNEBUNK Kennebunk Savings celebrated a milestone as employees volunteered more than 10,500 hours to charities in their communities in 2019 as part of their Community Promise program. Longtime employee Mike Moloney says once people realized 10,000 hours was within reach, there was a lot of excitement. “From June on, you could feel the energy. Whole departments were looking for ways to get out and volunteer.” For many, 10,000 hours became a way to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the bank’s Community Promise pro-
gram which supports local community organizations and causes. The program focuses on meeting an array of community needs from health and wellness to community and economic advancement, arts and culture, education and innovation, the environment and animal welfare. “Our employees work hard, have family obligations and still find time to support organizations they are passionate about,” said Bradford C. Paige, President and CEO of Kennebunk Savings. “They served meals at soup kitchens, took care of animals at local humane societies, read books to
children, cleared walking paths, and volunteered at countless community events. The fact that 310 employees could reach 10,000 service hours is a testament to their commitment to our community. For that, I’m truly grateful.” Liz Torrance, the Senior Social Responsibility Administrator in charge of the volunteer program, agrees. “We all live locally and want to be part of our communities - we want to walk the walk and give our time…It’s something that’s really celebrated at the company.” For employees, the Community Promise program and

said, “Your team achieved 95 percentile ranking or greater in patient experience survey data from May 2018 to April 2019. Only eight hospitals, out of 364, achieved this!” Chief Experiences Officer, Corky Thomson, said, “This is a team effort and the work the Home Care team does caring for each other reflects in how well they care for their patients. We review data from similar sized agencies, American Hospital Association and Press Ganey’s national data, and the York Hospital Home Care team consistently ranks in the 99th percentile.” York Hospital Home Care provides nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, social work, and home health aides.

commitment to volunteering sets Kennebunk Savings apart as a great place to work. When Samik Roy moved to Maine and began networking a few ago, he kept hearing about the bank’s commitment to community involvement. “It really drove me to want to work here.” Now he’s an employee and he’s Vice President of the Kittery Rotary Club. “The bank is very giving at allowing us time to do these things,” explained Samik, “the Community Promise is one of the most fun parts of my job.” It’s also one reason Mike Moloney has stayed at Kennebunk Savings for 23 years. “The bank attracts people who want
to give back. You have people that come here for a job, but they stay here because the bank values are consistent with the way they want to live their lives, helping others and doing good.” 2019 saw the Community Promise program reach more than $1 million in giving to nonprofit organizations across York County and seacoast New Hampshire. Since it began a quarter of a century ago, the program has distributed more than $14 million and Kennebunk Savings employees have volunteered more than 135,428 hours in its name. They look forward to continuing the tradition of giving into the next decade.

...JOBS from page 11 Maine Community College System President David Daigler said. “So many people have lost their jobs because of COIVD19. But overnight there is a huge demand for workers in certain jobs, such as medical assisting and pharmaceutical technicians. We need to give people the training and skills they need to step into those jobs as quickly as possible.” Maine Quality Centers is working closely with workforce training professionals at all seven of Maine’s community colleges across the state to develop and implement free online training programs. MQC is coordinating its efforts with the Department of Labor and other workforce agencies for the recruitment and screening of participants in the new online programs.

KENNEBUNK Hi friends, I’m Dakota. Aren’t I just the cutest thing? I was told once that I should have had braces as a youngster, but I think my underbite is what makes me so endearing. So I’m here at the Animal Welfare Society in Kennebunk, after traveling from Georgia a few months back. Since I’ve been here, I’ve discovered that Maine is a pretty fantastic place. I love to be outside. I love to talk nice long walks in the woods or at the beach, and I know my new people and I will have lots of fun exploring nature in Maine. And I’m good at social distancing too – I don’t like to be around other dogs, so we’ll have the woods or beach to ourselves. When we’re back home, I love to curl up near my people while they pet me. When they are busy working or making dinner, I like to contently sit nearby playing with my favorite squeaky stuffie. So back to that social distancing thing, I’ve been practicing it before it became mainstream. I can be shy around new people, you see, so I tend to keep my distance and get to know people slowly. I ask that people take it slow with me and understand that it might take me a while to blossom. But once I’m comfortable, I’ll give you all the love and attention you’ll ever need. That’s why I’ll be a fantastic “only dog.” I have so much love to give, I don’t want to have to share your attention with a fellow canine. You understand that, right? I mean, look at this face? How can you not want to shower me with ALL your love and affection? So c’mon, you know you want to welcome me into your heart and home. Call AWS today and learn more about me, Dakota!

NORTH BERWICK Our pup of the week is Bentley! He is a one year old Terrier mix, 13 lbs. and neutered. Bentley is up-to-date on his shots and ready for a fun home in Maine. He is a bit shy so quiet household with not much noise would be a good fit for him. If you would like to meet Bentley, call Emma’s Angels Rescue 207676-5599. Emma’s angels Rescue is an all-volunteer foster-based rescue in North Berwick. All adoptions have to be no further than one hour from North Berwick as we do home checks – looking for safe foster homes, with fenced in yards! Desperately needed, dry dog food. We feed 4 Health (Tractor Supply) or Blue Buffalo (Loyal Companion) and thank you in advance!
WELLS Not only does Winnie have a microchip, he even has a passport! Winnie is originally from the Middle East, from Qator. He was rescued by a group that flies rescued animals to the U.S. for a chance at a better life. Everything about him is excessive. He’s large but not fat, about 15 pounds with gorgeous, buff-colored fur. Then there is his personality. Winnie has a BIG personality. He lives totally in the moment, and won’t ever limit his exploration or adventure. Winnie has too much energy for a small one-bedroom home. He needs a home that will give him all the running room he craves. Preferably with a savvy family, because he gets a little feisty and has nipped when he’s bored or in need of some exercise or play. Winnie needs someone who “gets” cats and will give him the fun he needs. So if you’re interested in a one-of-a-kind feline, call 207-229-8314. With our world changing so quickly, we are so glad our kitties at Safe Haven live a quiet and happy life, oblivious to the stress outside our walls. Many of you are also staying home, with your own pets keeping you company. Now more than ever, you

realize how important an animal companion is, to fight loneliness and isolation. Our bonds with our animal companions can be life saving, when fighting anxiety and depression. If you see a Safe Haven kitty on Petfinder or our website you’re interested in, you can call 207-646-1611 to make an appointment to meet them. Our team is taking good care of the kitties at our shelter while it’s closed. We can’t wait to reopen. Careful social distancing will follow to ensure health safety. Our thrift shop is closed, too. That is a major concern for us, as the shop is the primary financial support for our organization. It’s how we pay our vet bills, operate our shelter, and pay our rent. We hope to open our new shop at Cattail Farm on Route 1 in a few months. Now, more than ever, we need your financial support to maintain our no-kill mission.

~ Ask The Computer Lady ~
Dear Reader, I hope this column finds you safe and sound in your home. I just wanted to take a moment to caution you to watch out for scams and malware that are trying to take advantage of the public concern about the coronavirus. Recently, Malwarebytes labs reported a phishing campaign which impersonates the World Health Organization (WHO) and invites you to download a fake e-book called the “My Health E-Book”. If you click on the link and download the e-book, you will be installing malware that will send your information from your computer back to the criminals. Just remember to be careful what you click on! Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, One of the main reasons that I have not upgraded to W10 is that I’ve been told it no longer has the snipping tool! I use that tool nearly daily & have no intentions of giving it up without a fight!! If it is included in W10, how do you find/access it? Thanks for your help and this is a great column, G Dear G, Good news! The snipping
tool is included with Windows 10. Here is how you would access it: 1. Click on the start menu icon or tap the start menu key on your keyboard. 2. When the start menu opens, don’t click on it, just start typing “Snipping Tool” and it will appear at the top of your start menu. 3. Click on the snipping tool icon, or if it is at the top of the menu, just press the “Enter” key on your keyboard. 4. If you want to keep the snipping tool on your taskbar for easy access, just right click on the Snipping tool icon on your taskbar, and click “Pin To Taskbar” in the context menu. Microsoft is planning an update to the snipping tool that includes a name change, so if the above directions don’t work for you, try searching for “Snip & Sketch” or try the keyboard shortcut: “Windows Logo Key + Shift + S”. Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, I’ve been reading your column for years and today I need your help. My problem: Users of the beloved orphaned email client Eudora 7.1 who

Can you tell me how to fix my problem so I can use Eudora again? Keep up the great work, Jim Dear Jim, Unfortunately, I can’t tell you how to fix Eudora, it has been abandoned and is no longer being updated. I can only give you the best available alternative which would be Mozilla Thunderbird at www.mozilla.org/ en-US/thunderbird/. Thunderbird is a free, open source email program. I have found that it is easy to setup, easy to use, and it has the features and abilities that most people are looking for in a local email program. In addition to the built in features, Thunderbird has addons available that provide features like calendars and mail merge. I have found that Thunderbird has more features and is easier to use than any of the email apps that come with recent versions of Windows. It is a great replacement for Outlook Express, and far easier to use and more powerful than the THANK YOU ST. JUDE: May the Sacred Heart of Jesus be adored, glorified, loved and preserved throughout the world now and forever. Sacred Heart of Jesus, pray for us. St. Jude, worker of miracles, pray for us.

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

bereaved’s feelings in the patterns of community support which are psychologically beneficial. Flowers, however, express the inexpressible – they are symbolic.
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.

Windows 10 Mail app. Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady. Thank you for being my computer guru for so many years. You’re the best! I have a question abut AVG, which I purchased it a few months ago. When a free download showed up a few weeks ago up for AVG to optimize my computer, I assumed it was okay to do so it. Now several times a day a message to buy the full version appears on my screen and the only way to get rid of it is to restart my computer. I’m frustrated and ready to get rid of AVG and go back to Webroot, which has served me well for many years. It seems to me that if this optimization program isn’t from AVG, that AVG should have protected me from it. Can you give me any insight here? Teri Dear Teri, It sounds like you have downloaded the trial of AVG
Tune-up. If you want to get rid of it, and the prompts to purchase it, just follow these directions. 1. Open the Control Panel (click on the start button, and type, “Control Panel”). 2. Under “Programs” click on “Uninstall a Program” or click on “Programs and Features”. 3. Click on the program you want to get rid of, then click “Uninstall” in the menu bar. or right-click on the program and click “Uninstall/change” in the context menu. 4. When the program has finished uninstalling, restart your computer and the unwanted program will be gone. Elizabeth Interested in learning more?

Tips For Working From Home With the outbreak of COVID-19, many Americans have transitioned to work remotely or from home, with some states ordering residents to shelter-in-place to protect their health. If you’re going to be home for an extended period of time, there’s a high likelihood you’ll be using your Internet and phone to stay connected, especially if you’re working and video conferencing, on social media, streaming videos or playing online games. Here are T-Mobile and Metro by T-Mobile’s tips on how to be WFH, or Wireless from Home: 1. Help yourself and others stay connected. Wireless technology is a convenient way to stay connected with friends and family. With mobile devices it’s easy to connect with anyone at any time with apps like FaceTime, Skype or Slack. But not
everyone in your circle may be using the same apps. If you can, help those who might not be as tech-savvy. They may need assistance downloading an app or updating software on their phones. Having access to these apps could help them feel more connected to their loved ones and their communities. 2. Balance your screen time. It’s easy to fall into the habit of turning on a screen whenever boredom strikes. But we don’t want to spend all day staring at screens, as it could cause eye strain or even headaches. Consider setting screen time boundaries for yourself and your family. For example, whether it’s after 7 p.m. or on certain days of the week, having a set time when there are no devices turned on can help you find the right balance. 3. Take advantage of the extra time you may have. For See HOME page 22...

...STRETCH from page 9 you are trying to stop traffic. Then turn your arm and your hand backward, letting your little finger be your guide. Let your little finger land where roughly the No. 7 would be on a clock. Just extend your shoulder out as is comfortable and bring your fingers back as is comfortable. Stretch 2. While lying on your back on the bed, put your arm in a position as if showing your muscle to someone. Just extend your elbow out to the side as is comfortable for
a tricep stretch. From that position, open your hand up all the way, extend your elbow to the side as is comfortable while bringing your thumb down toward you as is comfortable. Stretch 3. While you lie on your back, just extend your shoulder and arm out as is comfortable, Piller says. Stretch 4. While you lie on your back, bring your toes and the inner side of your foot inward to get a stretch on the side of the foot. These stretches for the side of your feet can be done lying on your side as well, as long as you have room
to bring your foot or feet down or inward. You also can use a pillow between your legs to raise your foot so you can bring your foot or feet down, or hang your feet over the edge. “This by itself, or in combination with other stretches, has a high chance to put you to sleep like a little baby,” Piller says. A recent article in Psychology Today explored how a good night’s sleep is necessary for a person’s immune system to run as efficiently as possible. A good, healthy immune system is one of the major things that may reduce the risk
of the coronavirus. That makes it extremely important that people find simple and easy ways to relax at night, rather than lie staring at the ceiling as brooding fears about the coronavirus swirl around in their minds, Piller says. “Life can be a job in itself, especially right now with all the concerns about the coronavirus,” Piller says. “Most people do not want all the difficulties that every insomnia treatment is riddled with. They don’t want to do all kinds of lifestyle changes that don’t offer solutions or guarantees, and that
have minimal results at best. These superstar stretches for sleeping are the world’s easiest and safest. For me, muscle stretching is magic. You get total relief just knowing this effortless system is waiting for you at bedtime.” This article was submitted by Larry Piller (www.larrypiller.com), a Certified Massage Practitioner and author of Stretching Your Way: A Unique & Leisurely Muscle Stretching System.

Kittery’s Fuel & More Expands Its Mission KITTERY Fuel & More, dedicated to assuring Kittery families stay warm in winter, has significantly increased the amount it allocates for non-fuel support in response to the economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic. “We realized a couple of years ago that many individuals and families face financial emergencies beyond heating their homes,” said Linda Browning, a Fuel & More board member. “So, working with other community organizations, we developed a program to help address some of those needs.” The Fuel & More board of trustees recently boosted
to $25,000 the amount it allocates to urgent non-heating fuel expenses faced by Kittery individuals or families, such as unpaid utility bills, back rent or car repairs. Since last fall the nonprofit organization spent $33,000 in fuel support and $5,500 for other financial emergencies. Fuel & More relies on local clergy, school counselors and people at other local nonprofits, including Fairtide, the Rice Library, Footprints Food Pantry and York County Community Action to identify Kittery residents who need help. “We’re becoming a yearround, community-support
...HOME from page 16 people accustomed to commuting to their workplace, staying at and working from home may free up a couple of extra hours each day. Use that time to finally complete that DIY project you’ve been putting off, or dedicate some of it to investing in yourself, like focusing on your mental and physical health, learning a new skill or trying a new hobby. Also be aware of the blurring of the lines between your work and personal life. To help you stay organized and on top of things, consider downloading calendar or note-taking apps. Apple and Google calendars can remind you of to-dos, appointments and
meetings; and Apple’s Notes, GoodNotes or Evernote can help you create your DIY to-do lists, write journals for your mental health at home or even jot down your everyday needs to help expedite your essential shopping outings. Staying at home doesn’t have to mean “stuck at home.” With your wireless service and devices, you’ll be equipped to optimize your time at home – for work, entertainment or your everyday needs.
