Peter Jardine Returns Home with Fanfare! SOUTH BERWICK The Jardine family arrived home April 18 with a huge welcome by the town of South Berwick. Residents formed a long line in their cars, honking, along Willow Street and Buttonwood Drive in Agamenticus Estates. The South Berwick Police Department aided in the parade. Peter Jardine, a South Berwick resident, was released from Maine Medical Center (MMC)

after a month-long battle with COVID-19 which required a ventilator, intubation, and induced coma. Symptoms began with a sore throat, and a week later, breathing difficulty prompted a trip to York Hospital and a COVID-19 test which came back positive. He was moved to MMC where his daughter Ashley Jardine works as a CNA. At the same time, Jardine’s
wife AnnMarie and daughter Allison both tested positive and were quarantined at home. At the end of March, his daughter (along with 300 others) wrote to Governor Janet Mills and the Department of Health to get the experimental anti-viral medication, Remdesivir, brought to Maine. Now at home, Jardine will continue to quarantine as well as doing daily physical therapy.
Non-Essential Retailers Can Sell Via Curbside Pick-Up STATEWIDE Commissioner Heather Johnson of the Department of Economic and Community Development contacted the Retail Association of Maine recently to share that the state will allow non-essential retailers to do curbside pick up of products if the businesses are complying with the other as-
pects of Governor Mills’s Stay Healthy at Home Order. Retailers considering this option should make sure that proper precautions are taken to protect employees and customers. Consider prearranged pick up times; the ability for customers to prepay for goods or use contactless check out devices; loading the goods in car
trunks for customers; and practicing proper social distancing. There will be some nonessential retailers where curbside is just not possible, but it’s a start towards balancing the health of Mainers with the ability to allow businesses to operate.

suspended for the spring season only. While biologists gather vital information about harvest numbers and turkey population health through the registration, this temporary, one-time suspension of the tagging requirement is not expected to have any long term impacts on the turkey population health. All other current bag limits, license and permit requirements apply. In order to gather the biological data lost through the suspension of the registration requirement, the department may send all turkey permit holders a post-hunt survey to gather information about how many birds they harvested, their location, and other pertinent information. Hunters are asked to fill out the survey, and also report a banded turkey if they harvest one. Information on how to report the turkey is on the band, including visiting https://wild-

Governor Mills’ Guidelines for Reopening Economy
AUGUSTA Governor Janet Mills issued the following statement in response to the President’s Guidelines for Opening Up America Again: “We all want life to return to normal as soon as it is safe to

do so. Our hearts break to see closed storefronts and people struggling to make ends meet because of this crisis. At the same time, we all know that reopening too soon and too aggressively will likely cause a secondary surge in COVID 19 cases, jeopardizing the lives of Maine people and further destabilizing the economy. None of us want that. I have been speaking with a number of economic leaders, including the President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston. Their message is clear: the most important thing we can do to turn the economy around is to defeat the virus. “As the President acknowledges, the Governors are in charge of reopening their states’ economies and gradually lifting public health restrictions. Here in Maine, we too are planning a phased-in reopening, tailored to the demographics and various economic sectors of our state. Ultimately, the protocols we adopt, made after consulting with people from all parts of the state, will be guided by fact, sci-

ence and public health expertise. As the President’s guidelines note, widespread testing, personal protective equipment, and contact tracing are critical to lifting restrictions and reviving the economy; for that reason, the nation’s governors yesterday again urged the Federal government to ensure that all states have these resources. “I remain in contact with Governor Sununu of New Hampshire and Governor Scott of Vermont regarding actions that may be appropriate for the northern New England region. My Administration, through the Department of Economic and Community Development, has been connecting with individual economic sectors across the state to devise a plan for how we gradually reopen the Maine economy. Those decisions, of course, are driven first and foremost by the need to protect the public health.” Once Governor Mills has deemed it safe to begin reopening Maine, the following guidelines are an example of how it may occur: In phase one, continue to practice good hygiene. People who feel sick should stay home. Continue to adhere to state and local guidance as well as complementary CDC guidance, particularly with respect to face coverings. Employers should continue to encourage telework whenever possible. If possible, return to work in phases. Close common areas where personnel are likely to congregate or enforce strict social distancing protocols.

Minimize non-essential travel and adhere to CDC guidelines regarding isolation following travel. Strongly consider special accommodations for personnel who are members of a vulnerable population. Schools and organized youth activities (e.g., daycare, camp) that are currently closed should remain closed. Visits to senior living facilities and hospitals should be prohibited. Those who do interact with residents and patients must adhere to strict protocols regarding hygiene. Large venues (e.g., sit-down dining, theaters, sporting venues, places of worship) can operate under strict physical distancing protocols. Elective surgeries can resume on an outpatient basis at facilities that adhere to CMS guidelines. Gyms can open if they adhere to strict physical distancing and sanitation protocols. Bars should remain closed. Phase two can begin for states and regions with no evidence of a rebound and that satisfy the gating criteria a second time. All vulnerable individuals should continue to shelter in place. Members of households with vulnerable residents should be aware that by returning to work or other environments where distancing is not practical, they could carry the virus back home. All individuals, when in public, should still maximize physical distance from others. Social settings of more than 50 people, where appropriate distancing may not be practical, should be avoided unless precautionary measures are observed. Non-essential travel can resume. Employers may have non-essential travel resume. Schools and organized youth activities can reopen. Bars may operate with diminished standing-room occupancy. Phase three can begin for states and regions with no evidence of a rebound. Vulnerable individuals can resume public interactions, but should practice physical distancing, minimizing exposure to social settings, unless precautionary measures are observed. Low-risk populations should consider minimizing time spent in crowded environments. Employers can resume unrestricted staffing of worksites. Visits to senior care facilities and hospitals can resume. Those who interact with residents and patients must still be diligent regarding hygiene. Large venues can operate under limited physical distancing protocols. Gyms can remain open if they adhere to standard sanitation protocols. Bars may operate with increased standing room occupancy.

The storms that book-ended the holiday weekend were among the half dozen most destructive in the last 40 years, causing more than 280,000 power outages. With the tireless work of over 2,000 workers, we restored power to more than 100,000 homes in each of the first two days and didn’t stop until every home was powered on.

USPS Carriers Ask for Distance STATEWIDE During these challenging times, postal employees are working hard to ensure residents stay connected with their world through the mail. Nevertheless, the US Postal Service is seeking help from communities to maintain social distancing. For everyone’s safety, USPS employees are following the social distancing precautions recommended by the CDC and local health officials. Please honor the space needed by carriers who approach your house – Let the carrier leave the mailbox before collecting the mail. With schools not in session, children should also be discouraged from approaching a postal vehicle or carrier. If a delivery requires a signature, carriers will knock on the door rather than touching the bell. Instead of asking for a signature on their mobile device, they’ll ask for the resident’s name, while maintaining distance. The carrier will then leave the mail in a safe place for retrieval. The CDC, World Health Organization, as well as the Surgeon General, indicate there is currently no evidence that COVID-19 is being spread through the mail.

King & Collins Appointed to Task Force on Re-Opening Economy BRUNSWICK – Senators Angus King (I-ME) and Susan Collins (R-ME) were recently appointed to serve on a task force focused on charting a safe path to reopening the American economy by President Donald Trump. The bipartisan, bicameral committee will work to determine the best possible plan to re-open the American economy in a way that supports long-term public health and spurs much-needed economic activity. “Everyone – and I mean everyone – wants the country to reopen; seeing the shuttered businesses in towns throughout Maine and across the country
is hard, as lives and livelihoods are being forever changed. But the other option is the danger of opening too soon and risking a rebound of the virus,” said Senator King. “The insights I offer on this task force will be based on expert advice and the data that we see coming in, not an See TASK page 12...

He then left Sanford PD to work as a lieutenant with the Lebanon PD where he worked for 4 years, until showing up at Kennebunk’s door, where he worked for an additional 29+ years of service. Belisle worked tirelessly on many committees in town. He was instrumental in numerous community policing initiatives that are still in place today. “It was an honor and privilege to work with Sgt.

Neighbors Caring for Neighbors Initiative
KENNEBUNK During this health crisis many of us are witnessing profound acts of bravery and kindness from our health care workers and first responders. And many families who simply cannot afford to be out of work have been laid off in response to this worldwide pandemic. Thanks to the generosity of many donors and in partnership with local restaurants, Community Harvest is launching a Neighbors Caring for Neighbors initiative in response to the hardships. Community Harvest is
proud to be partnering with Alisson’s Restaurant, The Boathouse in the Port, Cape Porpoise Kitchen in Cape Porpoise, Cherie’s, Mekhong Thai in Kennebunk, and Mike’s American Diner in Arundel, to offer healthy meals to first responders, medical personnel, and families in need. Community Harvest has always been about bringing people together and sharing a meal. “While we cannot do that in our traditional way right now, we can connect with individuals who may benefit from a complimentary meal from local
Hub for the Seacoast Mask Makers ELIOT The Raitt Homestead Farm Museum in Eliot has been a hub for the Seacoast Mask Makers, who have been making masks for the past few weeks for first responders, healthcare workers, and essential workers. The nocontact hub offers a collection and dispersion place for the completed masks to get to the right people. So far the group has made over 17,000 masks! The farm donated nine giant totes of quilting fabric along with volunteers who cut the fabric and prepare the kits for people to sew. If you have 100% cotton material or 1/8” - 1/4” elastic and
would like to donate it, drop it off in the donation bin in the white screen house at the farm.

restaurants who are so generous to our organization,” says Executive Director, Kerry de Bree. “We are providing gift certificates from local restaurants for curbside pick-up of healthy meals to individuals who may be struggling... Meeting this need is one way that Community Harvest can support and help relieve some of the pressure our neighbors are experiencing.” For more information on how to participate in or donate to the Neighbors Caring for Neighbors initiative, go to www.communityharvestonline .org or call 207-967-1911.
Beachfire Cares! OGUNQUIT Beachfire Bar & Grille has been regularly donating food to essential personnel. Every Tuesday they plan on showing their appreciation to first responders, medical staff, and students in need. According to their Facebook page, “Yesterday was another great day of donations! Food for 300 people made and delivered: 200 Salads, 250 pieces of fruit, 225 pulled pork dinners, 48 vegetable lasagna meals, 120 mac-n-cheese, 250 desserts, 150 smoked wings, 7 cases of wrapped snacks, and more – to Wells Police and Fire, Ogunquit

Hannaford Donates $750,000 to Response Efforts YORK COUNTY In response to the COVID19 crisis, Hannaford Supermarkets is donating $750,000 to numerous hunger relief and homeless outreach organizations throughout the Northeast as they work to support some of the most at-risk members of the community during the pandemic. The health crisis and related economic impact are creating unprecedented demand for food assistance, resulting in operational disruptions and significant new costs for the agencies that provide emergency meals. In addition, individuals who rely
solely on pantries and shelters – or who live on the street – face particular risk of contracting and spreading the virus because they have no home to shelter within. Hannaford’s donation includes: A total commitment of $550,000 to food banks in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, New York and Massachusetts. This includes $300,000 in new funds, in addition to a recently announced $250,000 donation to the food banks; A total of $200,000 to organizations that work with homeless people. The donation will be used to help create social distance among these individuals, while help-
ing them to meet the most-basic needs of survival and staying healthy amid the crisis. “Our company and our associates are working hard in our grocery stores to meet the most-basic needs of our community during this difficult time. We hope that this donation also will help the most-vulnerable of our neighbors meet their fundamental needs of staying fed and healthy,” said Hannaford President Mike Vail. Maine organizations that will receive the donation include the Good Shepherd Food Bank, awarded $160,000. For details, visit www.gsfb.org.
~ Veterans’ Resources ~ Online Talk Show & Podcast Showcase Veterans NATIONWIDE The David Johnson Show is a new online show giving voice to military veterans and military fans in the post-9/11era. Produced by Promotion Board Media and premiering in April 2020 at www.thedavidjohnsonshow.com, the show will feature a different guest each week who uses military principles to enact change in their communities. It will also focus on military veterans who are growing into new successful civilian lives, as well as entrepreneurs who can help those in the military and veteran communities. Just as each previous military generation had its stories, topics and issues, like the WWII veterans and Vietnam War veterans, post-9/11-era veterans from Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom also have their own culture, community and camaraderie. “There are 3.3 million veterans who have served our country since September 11, 2001, and my show is designed to bring a community to these
post-9/11-era veterans,” said show creator and host David Johnson. “Veterans from this era will definitely enjoy the show because they can clearly relate. We hope you find something impactful from each show that hits home to you. We can all grow together by opening our minds and remaining open to new ideas.” The Department of Veterans Affairs’ is also offering a podcast that engages with veterans and members of the military community while spotlighting important information from across the VA. Borne the Battle is released weekly with distinguished guests who join host Marine Veteran Tanner Iskra to discuss bridging the military-civilian divide, veteran advocacy initiatives through the voice of veterans, positive stories to inspire and educate transitioning veterans, and new information from the VA about important resources and benefits.

VA Extends Relief to Veterans WASHINGTON The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) announced recently a number of actions to provide veterans with financial, benefits, and claims help as VA’s COVID-19 response. “As all Americans come together to fight the COVID19 pandemic, we want veterans to be focused on their health and safety,” said VA Secretary Robert Wilkie. “That’s why we’re taking action to give those with pending debts, claims, and appeals greater flexibility during these challenging times.” The financial relief actions include the following until further notice: Suspending all actions on veteran debts under the jurisdiction of the Treasury Department; Suspending collection action or extending repayment terms on preexisting VA debts, as the veteran prefers. For benefit debts, Veterans can contact the VA Debt Management Center at 1-800-827-0648 to make arrangements. For health care debts, they can contact the Health Resource Center at 1-888-827-4817. The benefits and claims relief actions include giving vet-
erans the option to submit their paperwork late for the following actions: Perfecting claims, challenging adverse decisions, submitting Notices of Disagreement, submitting Substantive Appeals, and responding to Supplemental Statements of the Case. Veterans requesting claim extensions can simply submit them with any late-filed paperwork and do not have to proactively request an extension in advance. For added convenience, VA will also accept typed/ digital signatures instead of wet signatures on its forms. Those with questions can call 1-800827-1000. For Veterans who have been diagnosed with COVID-19 and need immediate action on their appeals, as opposed to a filing extension, the Board of Veterans’ Appeals will Advance their appeal on Docket (AOD). Visit www.bva.va.gov/CustomerService.asp to find out how to file for AOD. Veterans, active duty service members and their families are encouraged to find their nearest Vet Center and call to get connected to counseling services or reach out to the 24/7 Vet Center Call Center at 1-877-927-
8387. Many centers are currently utilizing telehealth services through VA Video Connect and can also speak to individuals via phone to reduce any barriers to seeking necessary help. Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) has and continues to adjust to ensure the safety and well-being of its clients and staff. The changes include: Uninterrupted GI Bill payments so students continue to receive their benefits unaffected by any change from in-person to online learning; Supporting students for educational counseling through online and telephone services; Connecting Veterans to Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment Services through teleconferencing; Informal conference hearings by telephone or video conferencing when needed; Conducting examinations for disability benefits using tele-compensation and pension or “tele-C&P” exams.

Historical Society Collects Pandemic Stories KENNEBUNKPORT The Pandemic of 2020 will go down in the annuls of history as a time when people’s lives were upended and forever changed. The Kennebunkport Historical Society is creating a record of how our local communities coped with the crisis, by collecting stories of what everyday people are doing in response. “History is more than just dates and facts,” said Kennebunkport Historical Society Executive Administrator Kirsten Camp. “What makes it fascinating are the personal stories that
help to paint a picture of daily life and bring the past alive. They are a critically important part of the historical record. Years from now, when the pandemic is a distant memory, future generations will want to understand how we lived through it.” What are you, your family and friends doing differently during this unprecedented time? Are you making masks? Planting a vegetable garden? Taking online exercise or yoga classes? Participating in Zoom gatherings? If you are willing to share your stories, email them to
tion with patrons. We have added a “While We’re Closed” tab to our website that contains links to information resources, educational resources, and entertainment. We encourage you to call or email the library with any questions or concerns. Our staff continues to check voicemail, email, and social media sites. Our priority is to continue to serve our community as best we can during the closure.

Community Recognition Award
YORK During this unusual time there are many individuals and businesses in our community that are doing great things to help each other. The Town of York, York Region Chamber of Commerce, and York Rotary Club have created a way to say “Thank You” to members of our community who have gone above and beyond the call of duty. Individuals and businesses will be recognized weekly during the Board of Selectmen’s meetings, via email, Facebook, and in the newspaper. Award recipients receive a certificate of appreciation signed by York’s Town Manager Steve Burns. A Community Recognition Award Reception will be held at York Region Chamber of Commerce in December where all recipients will be invited to walk in the Festival of Lights Parade which follows. The first award recipients
are Wiggly Bridge Distillery and Stonewall Kitchen for collaborating to make hand sanitizer. Stonewall Kitchen’s Cooking School also provided school lunches, and meals for Table of Plenty and Food Pantry Shoppers.
Brown Dog Carriers Offering “A Helping Paw” YORK COUNTY – Brown Dog Carriers, a purpose-driven carrier and logistics company based in Biddeford, has launched “A Helping Paw,” a community call to action campaign aimed at organizing efforts to deliver essential services and supplies to Mainers in need and help where possible in the response to COVID-19. “Now more than ever, people are relying on truck drivers to transport food, water, fuel and other essentials to stores and medical facilities on the front lines of the COVID-19 response, so we’re doing everything we can to keep trucks rolling and shelves stocked while maintaining safe driving standards and social distancing to protect the health of our team,” said Greg Morin, president of Brown Dog Carriers. With this campaign, Brown Dog seeks to connect with Maine companies, organizations and individuals producing personal protective equipment (PPE), donating food or supplies, or making other contributions, to explore opportunities to make a bigger impact together. If you are a business, organization or individual in need of shipping
If you would like to nominate someone, fill out the form found at www.yorkmaine.org and provide a 1 or 2 page essay describing how the business or individual from York has done something special for the community.

CMP Donates $200,000 to United Way COVID-19 Response AUGUSTA Central Maine Power (CMP) announced recently that the company is donating $200,000 to United Ways of Maine to address increasing food insecurity experienced by Mainers because of COVID19. CMP donated $175,000 through the United Ways of Maine to be earmarked for Meals on Wheels contributions across the state, and $25,000 to match viewer donations to United Way raised through a
day-long News Center Maine fundraising telethon which aired on April 9. “As this pandemic intensifies its grip on Maine, with every week more homebound seniors rely on Meals on Wheels for regular food delivery. With the movement restrictions and health risks presented by COVID-19, especially for seniors, we strongly believe food security for the elderly is an area where we can make a real difference,” said

or transportation for your donations, contact Morin at 207-2942075 or info@browndogcarriers. com. “Recently, we volunteered to transport 125 folding chairs donated by Hussey Seating Company to Southern Maine Healthcare and Maine Veterans’ Homes. That got us thinking that we have both an opportunity and a responsibility to help. If we can use our equipment and experience to enable and bring attention to our community part-
ners doing incredible things, so that they can serve more people, we’re committed to doing that,” said Darrell Pardy, Director of Brown Dog Carriers. Throughout the year, Brown Dog Carriers supports a number of nonprofits and veteran service organizations doing good in the community, including Wreaths Across America, K9s on the Front Line, and Trucking 4 Kids.

Leeward Donates $70,000 To Local Food Pantries YORK The Leeward Charitable Foundation recently donated $70,000 to ten local food pantries in southern Maine, New Hampshire, and northern Massachusetts. These donations were made using proceeds from the organizations Leeward Charitable Thrift Stores in York and in Salisbury, MA. Local charities receiving funds included The York Community Food Pantry, Footprints Food Pantry, The Sanford Food Pantry, The Saco
Food Pantry, and several others. “This national crisis has knocked everything out of balance. While we are all doing our best to keep ourselves and others safe, we can’t forget that there are still some in dire need. Hopefully this funding will help keep local food pantries operating effectively,” explained Rob Werner, President of the Leeward Charitable Foundation, Inc. For more information, visit www.leewardfoundation.org or call 207-361-4085.
David Flanagan, Executive Chairman of CMP. CMP, as a designated critical service organization, has responded to the COVID-19 crisis in other ways including intensified patrolling of circuits serving the hospitals, laboratories and virus test equipment manufacturers in Maine. The company also donated 6,000 N95 respirator and surgical masks to Maine Emergency Management Agency.

BUSINESS & FINANCE Maine Tourism Relief Fund
STATEWIDE The Maine Tourism Relief Fund was created by the Maine Tourism Association and Poland Spring to provide relief to small businesses and their employees experiencing great hardship as a result of business closures in the state due to COVID-19. Through this fund, grants will be made to small businesses based in the state of Maine who work in tourism-related industries for companies with less than 50 people who have been impacted by coronavirus. It also helps their employees who have experienced a decrease in wages or loss of employment. Grants will be awarded as quickly as possible to those who meet eligibility
criteria, as reviewed and verified by the Maine Tourism Association. You can make a huge difference in the lives of small businesses and their employees in the state of Maine by donating to the Maine Tourism Relief Fund. Around one in three of Maine’s private sector wage and salary employees work for businesses with fewer than 50 employees — approximately 160,000 Mainers. In the face of this global pandemic, this sector needs our immediate financial support. 100% of your donation will be applied to the grants. Please contact Kathryn Ference, Director of Workforce Development, at kference@mainetourism.com or 207-446-3214. And if you have been im-
pacted by a loss of business or decrease in income, you can apply for financial assistance. Grants will be awarded as soon as possible to those individuals and businesses who meet the prescribed eligibility criteria, as reviewed and verified by the Maine Tourism Association. Subject to the availability of funds contributed to the fund, a one-time grant of $500 for individuals or $1,000 for small businesses will be disbursed directly to the applicant following review and confirmation of eligibility. Awards will be limited to one grant per person. Please send an email to kference@mainetourism.com and you will be emailed an application. For more information, visit www.mainetourism.com.
Assistance on the Way STATEWIDE Maine will receive an estimated $9 million in additional funding for Mainers in need of energy assistance. MaineHousing and Maine’s Community Action Agencies (CAAs) are working closely to support uninterrupted Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) services. CAAs have made adjustments as needed to accommodate COVID-19 guidance regarding physical distancing, including taking applications over the phone. HEAP applications have been modified to make it easier for households impacted by COVID-19, such as those experiencing challenges
with securing and sending required documents. Applications will be accepted until July 15 and approved applicants can use those benefits until April 2021. For more information, visit www.mainehousing.org. MaineHousing would like to thank the Department of Corrections (DOC) and prisoners who are making masks for those in need through the DOC’s Industries Program. Together, they are helping coordinate the delivery of over 5,000 masks from the DOC to homeless shelters, domestic violence shelters, and older adult developments across Maine!
$1 Billion in Funding To Protect Housing Amidst Pandemic for Community Services Block Grant Program
AUGUSTA Governor Janet Mills took significant steps recently to keep Maine people in their homes and Maine businesses in their storefronts as COVID19 continues to create financial hardships across the state. The Governor signed an Executive Order that, when taken in combination with a March 18 order issued by the Maine Court System, will prevent the immediate eviction of tenants other than those who engage in dangerous or unlawful conduct for the duration of the state of emergency. The governor also strengthened the penalties for landlords who may try to evict tenants by unlawful means, and she extended the timeframe for the eviction process in the event that the courts reopen before the governor’s state of emergency
is terminated. Additionally, the governor, in partnership with MaineHousing, announced a new rental assistance relief program for Maine people who cannot pay their rent due to COVID-19. The $5 million COVID-19 Rent Relief Program will allow households that meet certain income and ability to pay requirements to receive a one-time, up to $500 payment in rental assistance to be paid directly to their landlord. Also, in letters sent to Maine financial institutions, the governor urged all financial institutions to work proactively with homeowners and small businesses experiencing financial hardship to keep them in their homes and storefronts. “We are in the midst of one of the greatest health crises of our lifetimes. Both public health as well as our shared sense of
humanity decency demand that people not be forced from their homes and or businesses from their storefronts,” said Governor Mills. $5 Million COVID-19 Rent Relief Program created by MaineHousing will be administered by local community action agencies. The funding, which comes from the Housing Opportunity for Maine (HOME) Fund, will go entirely to Mainers served. No organization will receive administrative fees for program administration. People who live in subsidized housing, or housing financed by MaineHousing do not qualify for the program, as those programs have other tools already available. More information may be found at www.mainehousing.org/covidrent. “We understand that for most people this will not cover their full rent payment for the month,” said Daniel Brennan, director of MaineHousing. “We want to help as many people as possible and to do that, we See RENT page 22...

WASHINGTON, D.C. Following a bipartisan push by U.S. Senators Susan Collins (R-ME) and Tim Kaine (D-VA), the emergency economic relief package that passed the Senate by 96-0 and the House by voice vote last week included $1 billion in supplemental funding for the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) program. CSBG serves more than 1,000 entities across the country and is well-positioned to immediately respond to the social services needs of millions of Americans affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. “In a time such as this, we must get federal assistance to local communities as quickly as possible. The CSBG program critically supports on-theground efforts to help address the everyday needs of millions of low-income individuals.

munity Action Agencies are already being called to action,” the Senators wrote. “This is a financially challenging time for the country as a whole. For individuals who were already experiencing, or were on the verge of, hardship, increased access to CSBG-funded services is needed now.” The COVID-19 pandemic is not only a health crisis—it is also a financial crisis for millions of families. Nearly 60% of Americans have less than $1,000 in savings and 36% have none at all.
Scholarships For Women in Science or Engineering STATEWIDE Applications are currently being accepted at the Maine Community Foundation for the Lydia R. Laurendeau Scholarship Fund. Established in 2013, the Laurendeau Fund provides renewable scholarship support to young women who are graduating seniors from high schools in Maine pursuing post-secondary education in science or engineering at a four-year university. There is a preference for applicants demonstrating an interest and/or actively participating in their Franco-American heritage. Applications are due June 1, and available at www. mainecf.org.

Health & Fitness Podcast Series on Caregiving During the Crisis Working Daughter, a community for women balancing eldercare, career, and more, has launched a new podcast series aimed at the millions of Americans caring for aging parents during the coronavirus crisis. Hosted by Liz O’Donnell, founder of Working Daughter and author of “Working Daughter: A Guide to Caring For Your Aging Parents While Making A Living”, the three-part series addresses the challenges related to caregiving during the coronavirus crisis.
“Family caregivers are under tremendous amounts of stress right now and it’s important they feel both seen and supported,” said O’Donnell. “As senior living facilities and hospitals restrict all visitation, adult children who have served as primary caregivers and advocates for aging and ill family members are cut off from seeing and helping them. And for those family caregivers whose parents live at home or with them, managing their needs and their risk of exposure is incredibly challenging. Meanwhile these caregivers are

Dear Computer Lady, Recently I had to take my computer back to factory level because it was behaving as though it had a virus. Since then, at odd times it makes a clunking sound. What is this? And can I eliminate it? I have a Hewlett Packard (5 years old). Thank you for your help. I read your column faithfully. Betty Dear Betty, A clunking sound is usually the sound a hard drive makes when it is starting to die. I would suggest that you make sure your files are backed up and think about either replacing the hard drive, or the entire computer. Since the average computer lasts about 5 years, it might not make sense to put a large amount of money into fixing it. If your files are not yet backed up, don’t use the computer until you get them backed up. The more you use an ailing hard drive, the less your chances of being able to get the files off of it. Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, I recently downloaded Adobe PDF Reader since the Foxit Reader on my computer would not open a document such as my tax information. Adobe did open the document but when I shut my computer off and attempted to restart
~ Ask The Computer Lady ~ it, Windows would not open. I did open it in safe mode and ran scans of malware and AVG. It still would not open. Then I used system recovery and it uninstalled Adobe Reader. My computer now works. However some documents will not open with the Foxit Reader. Is there another PDF reader that will open documents that Adobe alone will open? Geneva Dear Geneva, I was not familiar with Foxit Reader, so I did a little research. According to Wikipedia, Foxit Reader is a pretty good program, however, it does sometimes install the malware program, Conduit. After reading your description above, I wonder if you either downloaded a corrupt version of Adobe Acrobat Reader, or you installed it from a website pretending to be Adobe and actually downloaded a version filled with malware. Either way, you will find a list of legitimate PDF readers, and a way to download them without installing any unwanted malware in the process at www.ninite.com. Just check off your desired PDF readers in the “Documents” section, then click the big green, “Get Installer” button. Ninite will download and install the programs you have selected without installing any malware, toolbars,
or any other unwanted items. Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, I have never seen this problem in your column so I am asking for your help again as you have done in the past. The following message appears on the top of my screen whenever I log in: “This computer will no longer receive Google Chrome updates because your version of Windows is no longer supported.” Does this mean I will need a new computer. Thank you Elizabeth, Theresa Dear Theresa, If your computer is working fine, you will still be able to safely use it for a while longer. However, Google (the company that brings us Chrome) will no longer be supporting Chrome in systems running Windows 7 beginning in July of 2021. You can still safely use Chrome until then. Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, I love your newsletter and have learned so much! I’m hoping that you can help me with this question. I would like to link my iPad, iPhone, and Dell Windows computer so that when I delete an email on one device it’s deleted on all of them. Is there a way to do this? I use Comcast for my email. Thank you so much for all you do! Judy Dear Judy,
In order to sync your email across your iPad, iPhone and Windows computer, you need to set it up to use IMAP servers instead of POP servers. Let me explain: The original email protocol, created in 1984 is POP, which stands for Post Office Protocol. POP downloads your email messages from a remote server and stores them on your computer or other device. IMAP stands for Internet Message Access Protocol. It was created in 1986. IMAP leaves your email messages on the remote server, and just stores a temporary copy of them on your device. Each time you connect to the server, it syncs your messages so anything you delete on your computer, is deleted on the server, anything you move from one folder to another on your computer is also moved on the server. Both of these protocols allow you to read your emails using an app or program installed on your devices. My guess is that you have your Comcast email set up to use POP instead of IMAP. Switching to IMAP will result in your email working the way you want it to. You might have to contact Comcast for directions on exactly how to do this, or switch to something like Gmail, which

Arrangements have been entrusted to www.sylvanabbey. com. The Goldenrod Restaurant posted on Facebook “We are sad to say goodbye to our friend, co-worker, and former owner and partner of The Goldenrod. David McMullen had been a bright presence in The Goldenrod, imparting pearls of wisdom like ‘If you have time to lean, you have time to clean’, as well as showing employees how to be good workers. He was hard-working, dedicated to The Goldenrod and to all the customers who came through the door. Dave was known for his good humor, always ready with a joke or funny story, and his uncanny ability to remember customer’s names and their stories. Spending decades of his life working with and guiding our young employees, it is staggering to think how many people he influenced throughout his life. It is a common occurrence on any ordinary day to be stopped by [someone] who asks for Dave and shares a story of an important life lesson that he taught them... or how much they appreciated the special attention and interest in their lives that he always shared with them and their families. He is greatly missed. According to his family,

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.

WELLS Tinkerbell has been enjoying the comforts of a very loving foster home, which she certainly deserves. This little waif arrived at Safe Haven with her litter of kittens. What a loving and devoted mother she was. Good thing too, because Tinkerbell was already pregnant with her second litter. Again, she proved to be an exceptional momma to her second litter as well. Now that her kittens have all been adopted, it’s time for Tinkerbell to be rewarded with her very own home. She deserves the opportunity to relax, and be a kitten herself – She’s only about 2 years old. She has a very sweet personality, loves people and their company, enjoys being picked up, held, and patted. Her foster mom has other kitties to dote on, and Tinkerbell wants to be an only kitty. We haven’t been able to see Tinkerbell interact with dogs. But because she loves to romp and play, she’ll be happy in a home where the family interacts with her. She’ll be fine in a home with older children (over the age of 8). We can’t wait for her to

Increase in the Abandoned Predicted When it comes to animals, there is no denying the positive impact a furry friend can have on your life. The benefits of having a pet by your side for health and general wellbeing are in fact, well-researched and include alleviating loneliness, lifting overall mood and adding structure to everyday life. In typical circumstances, animals are also used to assist people with mental illnesses and as emotional support structures, highlighting just how helpful they can be in times of difficulty. For this reason, during isolation, pet ownership can be extremely beneficial, especially to those who suffer from loneliness or depression. However, it is also important to note that pets require a lifetime commitment, as well as factors that are limited during lockdown, such as fresh air and outdoors. Dave Louvet, CEO of Innovet Pet, a provider of natural well-being products for pets, has warned that an “extended lockdown period may lead to a significant increase in pet ownership. We believe this trend would lead to a significant spike in abandoned pets over the course of the year, as many owners deem them unaffordable, or realize they have no one to care for their pet when they eventually return to work.” Indeed, Innovet Pet has carried out research which suggests a strong upcoming trend of pet ownership during the current pandemic. The company carried out a survey of 3,000 which found that 1 in 4 (25%) Mainers say they would consider getting a new pet during lockdown, especially if this period was extended. We are all aware of the positive influence a pet can have

on your life, however, it is impossible to deny the responsibility that comes with pet ownership. The study also discovered that 16% of pet owners admitted that if they were to lose their job, they would struggle to afford to keep their pet. This highlights the financial responsibility of pet ownership, which could be an issue given the current state of the economy as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Moreover, pets require a great deal of attention just like having a child. In fact, over 1 in 10 (13%) of respondents believe it would actually be more difficult to care for a pet than a child during lockdown! Perhaps this is because animals need exercise outdoors and fresh air in order to maximize their health and happiness, whereas a child may be more content to play indoors. Many workers are now working from home, meaning they have sufficient time to spend at home with their pet each day. There are regulations regarding how and when you are permitted to walk your pet during lockdown, however, 34% of respondents say they are unaware of these rules, which could get them into trouble. Buying food and basic supplies for your pet is a substantial expense, especially when you also have to stock up on groceries for yourself and your family. While stockpiling for lockdown, over half (54%) of Maine pet owners say they also bulkbought supplies for their pet. Your pet may be a bit confused as to why you are home each day, rather than out and about at work or running errands. When lockdown is over, the survey found that 1 in 3 pet owners (30%) say they will feel guilty about leaving their pet alone at home again once they return to work. The worry is that those who have decided to get a pet over this period, will find themselves struggling to have the time to look them once life returns to normal. “Once this period of staying at home ends, and the real-
KENNEBUNK Hi, I’m Eva and I was asked to be today’s pet blogger for AWS. As I sit here at the keyboard, I am very nervous, I’m not sure what to say. It’s ok, Eva, you got this, just let people know what an awesome cat you are – inside and out. Ok, here I go... When I first came to AWS, I was very frightened. It was nothing like I had seen before, with new people, new smells, and new places. The good people there could tell how scared I was, so they set me up in a nice big kitty condo in a quiet office where I could get used to my surroundings at my own pace. At first, the only way I could think to react was to hiss or back away. I spent a lot of time hiding. But my friends at AWS knew that with patience and very gentle attention, they could show me that it wasn’t a scary place. They would talk or sing, or sometimes we would just listen to the radio together. It was always up to me how I wanted to proceed. After about 10 days, I made eye contact. Wow, it was exhilarating and not scary. Before too long, I was blinking at my friends, you know the soft, slow blink that cats do to show love. Then I started moving about when my friends were there, happily rubbing up against things. One day, I decided to be really brave and go out the door. My friend Lizzie was there that day and she gently put out her hand. I went over and rubbed up against it. Suddenly, my happy motor started – I was purring! Wow, it felt great. Shortly after that, my AWS friends decided I was ready to go up for adoption. I am still very cautious when I first meet people, but I’m learning that with gentleness and patience on their part, I start to feel more comfortable, and my sweet personality starts to show through. I am nervous about going home with new people as I think the transition will be stressful for me, but a home of my very own with people who love me will be just grand so I’m going to be brave. I know that I can! If you think you have the quiet home and the calm and gentle heart that I need to thrive, how about giving AWS a call (207-985-3244)? ity of looking after a pet sinks in, there is a concern that there will be an influx of abandoned pets who will need to be re-homed,” says Louvet. Innovet Pet has created an informative interactive slideshow on tips to keep your pet happy during lockdown on their blog at www.innovetpet.com.

Ask The Computer Lady
Dear Computer Lady, Love your column. In a recent column, you were answering a question about One Note which is a program that I love. You mentioned saving to the cloud and I honestly don’t know how to do that. Do you think you could explain that in one of your future columns? Since I have One Note on my desktop, laptop & my windows phone, I would be so grateful for more information. Thanks so much for all you do! Jean Dear Jean, When we are talking about computing, the term, “The Cloud” is used as a metaphor for “the Internet,” so when we save something to the cloud, all we are really doing is saving our file to a remote computer and accessing it through the internet. When you use a program like OneNote, normally the file is saved on your computer, and when you make changes to it, those changes are saved on your computer. If you have OneNote on another computer, or mobile device, those changes are not reflected on those devices. If you have an account with Microsoft, you automatically have storage space on their servers. Since you access your storage on Microsoft’s servers through the internet we can say they are stored in the cloud.

If you don’t already have an account with Microsoft, you will need to create one. You can sign in, or create an account at: http://login.live.com/. Once you have an account, open OneNote and click on the “File” tab. You will see a list of all your notebooks. Find the first one that you want to store on the cloud, and click the link beneath it that says, “Share on web or network”. Follow the prompts to sign into your sky drive account (same as the Microsoft account that you just created) and move your file to the sky drive folder. On your next computer, open OneNote and click on the “File” tab and then “Open”. Select “Open from One Drive” to access the notebook you have saved in the cloud. Once you have it all set up, your files will sync automatically, and you will be able to access your information from all devices. Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, I have finally been able to move pictures to my photos in my documents on windows. but what I cant do is put several pictures into one folder. Like the Christmas pictures, I want them all together in the Christmas folder. Do I have to download the ‘photos’ app to do this? Thanks, Sue

Dear Sue, You can organize your pictures into folders using just Windows Explorer (Now called File Explorer). Open File Explorer and move it to one side of your desktop so that it takes up half the screen. Next, right click on the File Explorer icon on your taskbar, and click on “File Explorer” in the context menu. This will open a second File Explorer window. Move this second window to the other side of your desktop so that you can see both windows.
