Heart of Ogunquit at Bintliff’s By Nancye Tuttle, Staff Writer OGUNQUIT A giant red heart is propped by the sign at Bintliff’s Ogunquit Restaurant, placed there by Jerry DeHart. “You’ve been the Heart to Our Souls,” it proclaims. And dozens of Bintliff’s loyal fans, saddened by the news that the popular eatery is closed forever, have signed it. Executive chef and owner Norm Hebert, Jr. made the tough decision to close on May 6, after crunching the numbers with his father Norm, Sr., affectionately known as Pop, a popu-

lar figure at Bintliff’s. “We are letting you, our valued family, friends and guests, know that Pop and I have decided to close Bintliff’s Restaurant,” Hebert, Jr., wrote in a Facebook post that day. “This has not been an easy decision. We have gone back and forth looking for the right way to approach these challenging times due to COVID-19.” Reaction was swift and sad. Devoted patrons posted a total of 589 comments and the closing announcement was shared 761 times on Facebook.

People recalled Bintliff’s famous brunches, Bloody Marys and benedict dishes. They noted it was their favorite spot for fine dining in a town with dozens of tasteful places. They heralded its great service, friendly wait staff and cozy décor. And they lamented its demise. “It was a very difficult decision,” Hebert, Jr. reiterated Tuesday. “We were last opened on March 15 for brunch and then the governor shut down all restaurants a couple of days later. The game plan kept changing, and we had no idea

In Observance of Memorial Day 2020 Since most Memorial Day celebrations have been cancelled due to the virus, the American Legion would like to share a special Memorial Day Tribute: Every crisis has new heroes. During the 9/11 attacks, they were the first responders running into burning and crumbling buildings as others ran out. Now, during the Coronavirus pandemic, the most visible heroes are the health care professionals, who are saving others and risking their own lives while doing so.

These heroes have much in common with the people that we honor today – America’s fallen veterans. They are men and women who have sacrificed their own lives so others could live. They are both elite and ordinary. They are elite in the sense of character. Giving your life so others could live is the ultimate definition of selfless. They are ordinary in the fact that they represent the diverse fabric of our country. They are rich and poor, black and white, male and female.

They come from every ethnicity and background. In short, they looked like anyone of us. As we celebrate the selfless

Kyle Brennan YORK As another school year comes to an end, we interviewed recent UNE graduate Kyle Brennan to get his thoughts on being a student in 2020 during the COVID crisis. What led you to studying marine biology at the University of New England? “Well, I’ve known that I wanted to become a Marine Biologist since I was in Kindergarten. The mysteriousness of the ocean has always fascinated me and educating myself on aquatic life became an obsession. After

graduating high school, I wanted to go somewhere where I can really start digging into my love for the ocean, and after some research I discovered UNE. Not only did UNE have a beautiful campus located right at the mouth of the Saco River, but it also had a strong reputation for being one of the best schools for marine biology. It was perfect, and once I visited the school it was love at first sight. It is a smaller university with a lot of resources to help students academically, professionally, and socially. In fact, it’s one of the

Fog Bell Returns to Nubble Point

YORK May 18 was an exciting day for visitors who enjoy the Sohier Park and views of the Nubble Lighthouse – “The original Nubble Light Bell has finally been returned home this morning at 8 a.m. After decades at

Short Sands Park, it now overlooks the Nubble. Thank you Jim Leslie, [the Department of Public Works, and the York Parks and Recreation Department],” wrote Nubble Lighthouse on their Facebook page. The lighthouse on “Savage Rock” was first illuminated on July 1, 1879. Cape Neddick Light Station, as it was once called, installed a fog bell in 1888 that was manually rung, and then a striker was added in 1890 -- But the lighthouse keeper still had to strenuously wind the bell every four hours. The automated fog horn was installed in 1961. Edward Ellis wished to preserve the old bell and brought it to Ellis Park next to Short Sands Beach. In 1989, a U.S. Lighthouse Service bell was installed at Sohier Park as a representative, which came on loan from the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard. Boyd J. Davis of the Coast Guard was keeper 1961-62, and he was there for the removal of the fog bell tower in 1961. The following message was received

from his son Steven Davis in February 2020: “I was there the morning that they blew the footings from the bell tower, and was glad to see it go, as dad would press my brother and I into cranking the trip weights to the top of it when he thought we needed to burn off a little energy.”

Under the Maine Lights Program coordinated by the Island Institute, the lighthouse officially became the property of the town of York in 1998. In time, the Ellis Park Trustees became interested in returning the original bell to its historical home by the lighthouse.

Heading into the following weekend, all three northbound lanes will reopen at 4 p.m. on Thursday, May 28, and all three southbound lanes will reopen at 4 p.m. on Friday, May 29. Lane restrictions may happen during the week, but all six travel lanes on the bridge will be open every weekend through June 16, 2020.

~ News ~ Plan Updates to Restart Maine’s Economy AUGUSTA This week the Mills administration announced the following updates to its plan to restart Maine’s economy: 1) Maine residents may enjoy campgrounds beginning Memorial Day weekend; and 2) the Administration is delaying the full reopening of gyms, fitness centers, and nail salons in light of emerging research and experiences in other states of COVID-19 transmission related to these establishments. With these updates, campgrounds, including RV parks, may now reopen with enhanced health and safety precautions to Maine residents only beginning on Friday, May 22. This change is similar to the current policies of New Hampshire and Vermont regarding campgrounds. The Mills Administration is also delaying the full reopening of gyms and fitness centers, originally scheduled for June 1 (Stage 2), in light of new studies raising concerns about the transmission of the virus in such settings due to large numbers of people in relatively small spaces with moist, warm atmospheres coupled with turbulent air flow generated by intense physical exercise. Gyms and fitness centers are currently allowed to conduct outside classes of less than 10 participants and one-on-one instruction inside.

The Mills Administration is also delaying the re-opening of nail salons, also originally scheduled for June 1 (Stage 2), after the State of California identified the establishments as a source of COVID-19 community transmission. While claims continue to be reviewed, some preliminary evidence suggests that the close, faceto-face contact between clients and professionals could increase risk of transmission. Maine is assessing such evidence and expects to announce new re-start dates for nail salons and indoor gyms and fitness centers in early June. Stage 2 of the planned steps for reopening Maine is set to tentatively begin on June 1. Stage 2 contemplates revising the limitation on gatherings from less than 10 people to less than 50 people. It also calls for people who can work from home to continue to do so but allows for employees in certain fields to begin to reenter the office as needed, including State employees. It maintains the 14 day quarantine for all people entering or returning to Maine and the special precautions for older Mainers and others at risk of COVID-19. With appropriate safety precautions, Stage 2 would allow for some degree of opening with reservations, capacity limits, and other measures for restaurants and retail stores for broader

in-store shopping The Mills Administration

also announced that, effective immediately, Maine lodging providers can begin accepting future reservations for stays with an ar-

rival date of June 1 and beyond for Maine residents and for non-residents who comply with the state’s 14-day quarantine requirement.

Kennebunk Free Library Opening Steps

Kennebunk Free Library is taking our first steps toward opening back up. Our book drop will be open for materials, however, we do ask that you adhere to our posted schedule to help staff with the high volume of returns that we will be experiencing; over 4,000 of our items are currently in your homes! Also note, the due dates of all items have been extended to July 10 so while you have the option to return your materials, you may also choose to hold onto them a while longer; fines will continue to be waived. We would also like to stress that while we know you’ve been using your time at home to clean and organize

your bookshelves, we CAN NOT accept donations at this time. Not only do they take up space in our book drop and interior spaces, you will be putting your KFL staff at greater risk by the increased handling of items.

Returns Schedule

The schedule for returns follows: Tuesday, May 26, 8-11 a.m. & 14:30 p.m. Patrons with last names A-M are welcome to return items; Thursday, May 28, 8-11 a.m. & 1- 4:30 p.m. patrons with last names N-Z are welcome to return items; Saturday, May 30, 1-4:30 p.m. All patrons are welcome to return items; Tuesday, June 2, 8-11 a.m. & 1-4:30 p.m. Patrons with last names A-M are welcome to return items; Thursday, June 4, 8-11 a.m. & 1-4:30 p.m. Patrons with last names N-Z are welcome to return items; Saturday, June 6, 1-4:30 p.m. All patrons are welcome to return items. The book drop will be locked during all times not listed above as well as short intervals for emptying it. The schedule allows us to go on a rotation where we can leave materials in quarantine for 72 hours before they go back on our shelves. We will be assessing this process while it is underway and based off its results combined with the recommendations of the Maine State Library, Maine CDC, and other government entities we will determine if we will continue this procedure starting the week of June 8 or begin to offer curbside services. We very much appreciate your patience and understanding.

He then proceeded to treat another Marine, despite his own immense pain. While heading to the rear, he was hit by a sniper’s bullet and killed. For his actions, Petty Officer Williams was awarded the Medal of Honor. We also remember Army veterans like Lieutenant Sharon Lane. According to her biographer, Philip Bigler, Lt. Lane threw herself into her work as a nurse. While serving in Colorado, she requested a transfer to Vietnam. “There, at least, you are busy 12 hours a day, six or seven days a week,” she said in a 1968 letter to her parents. Her dedication was obvious, even as she treated enemy Viet Cong soldiers who would return the favor by kicking, cursing and spitting at their American captors. In the early morning of June 8, 1969, Sharon’s tour of duty ended. A Soviet-built rocket struck the hospital. Lieutenant Sharon A. Lane was killed in action at age 25. If she were still here, her skills as a nurse might still be benefiting us during the current crisis. But not all of the heroes

Grocers, first responders, delivery workers and drivethrough restaurant employees are just a few of the many people that we rely on to provide vital services for society while risking their own safety. The military also has heroes in every occupational field. Truck drivers, cooks and administrative clerks have all paid the ultimate price. At sea, on land or in the air – military service requires great risk. Roy Knight, Jr. was a pilot in the U.S. Air Force.

Although the COVID-19 pandemic has caused the cancellation of the traditional Memorial Day parade in York, the town will strive to honor the nation’s fallen heroes as follows: York Public Works has already installed the first of seven memorial street banners, honoring those veterans of WWII and Vietnam who paid the ultimate price. Photos and a brief bio of each hero is being shown on Spectrum Cable channel 1302. This will continue through Memorial Day.

Marshwood Show Goes Online

SOUTH BERWICK When school closed on March 13, performances large and small were canceled across the district, including the annual GWS 5th grade musical. They were halfway through producing ”Annie, Kids”, when it was canceled. Grade 5 Teacher, Pam Starkey and Music Teacher, Janice Morro used a company called Beat by Beat Press for a couple of recent shows, and they announced they were writing a musical designed to be performed completely online. After talking with Principal Jerry Burnell and

Superintendent John Caverly about producing it online, they went ahead and purchased the script and started producing a new musical, completely online! The teachers asked the original 45 cast members if they’d be interested in doing a new show, and 38 of them decided to do it. The online show has only 20 roles so Pam and Janice created TWO different casts. Over the course of two weeks the kids learned the music and their roles via Google Meets then they filmed themselves performing their scenes and submitted them to the teachers. Pam’s husband,

Seashore Trolley Museum Re-Opens in Phase 1 KENNEBUNKPORT Ding ding! The Seashore Trolley Museum has re-opened under Phase 1 of Maine’s Plan to Restart the Economy, and the Guided Outdoor Activities provision. Founded in 1939, the trolley museum is the oldest historic transportation organization of its kind in the world and curates the largest streetcar collection. The museum is offering the following fun outdoor recreational activities to Maine Residents, and non-residents who have already completed their 14-day self-quarantine in the State of Maine. Trolleys will be operated by a motorman and conductor following the Maine COVID-19 Prevention Checklist for Guided Outdoor Activities. Groups of up to ten may reserve a 2-hour guided tour with one of our energetic and knowledgeable docents. Get out of the house and come explore our outdoor museum campus. A limited amount of self-guided tickets are available to ensure guests on campus can easily maintain

social distancing with other groups present. During Phase 1, the Museum is not able to open their world-renowned Restoration Shop viewing gallery to guests, as well as any trolley, rapid transit vehicle, or bus on display. On a typical day, guests can hop on any displayed artifact, take pictures, ding the bells, toot the horn, etc., but COVID-19 makes this impossible. Display barns will be open, but the Museum asks that guests view items only during this Phase. Seashore Trolley Museum follows the Center for Disease Control’s protocols for Cleaning and Disinfecting Facilities. Museum staff will sanitize equipment used by guests with EPA registered products before and after each trip, paying particular attention to “high-touch” surfaces. Restrooms are available inside the Visitors Center and will be cleaned and disinfected multiple times a day. As the Museum works hard to follow all state guidelines to re-open, the Museum asks that all guests follow state guidelines

Congdon’s Drive-Thru Chowderfest Raises $30K for Good Shepherd Food Bank

WELLS Congdon’s Family Restaurant & Bakery served up something a little different last week. Instead of their world famous doughnuts, Congdon’s dished out fish chowder, clam chowder, and lobster bisque to raise money for Good Shepherd Food Bank. More than $30,000 was raised during the event after matching funds were provided by the Maine Masonic Charitable Foundation. There was no set price - guests donated whatever they wanted and picked up their soups at the drive-thru. Many also donated dry food items for the Bank. “It was a great event, so many people showed up to contribute. Every dollar goes directly to Good Shepherd Food Bank,” said Congdon’s owner Gary Leech. “Times are tough right now, people are hurting, and there are huge demands on local and state food pantries. We just wanted to help in some way and there’s a lot of great organi-

zations helping.” Oakhurst Dairy, Shields Meats and Produce Inc, Southern Maine Masonic Lodges, Mike’s Clam Shack, and Bluebird Ranch Family Restaurant donated money, supplies, and ingredients to help make this event happen. Leech said local Mason Bob Hoyt was integral to the planning, execution, and coordinating of the fundraiser. The staff at Congdon’s and Southern Maine Masonic Lodges donated time to execute the event. The mission of Good Shep-

herd Food Bank is to eliminate hunger in Maine by improving access to nutritious food for people in need, building strong community partnerships, and mobilizing the public in the fight to end hunger. The food back serves all of Maine, but demand has been at record highs since the COVID-19 pandemic began. “Mainers helping Mainers is what this state is all about,” said Leech. For more information or any questions, email Adam Leech at adam@congdons.com.

Selectman Hoping to Help by the Basketful WELLS Sean Roche is a Selectboard member who has started a fundraising group that’s titled Project Stimulus: Wells, ME. It’s a project looking for help from local business owners to help others during these tough times. Currently, Sean is reaching out to businesses to see if they have interest in participating in a Virtual Basket Raffle with every penny brought in to be distributed back to the participating business. In order to participate, Sean is asking the business to create at least one “basket”

filled with whatever they want (gift cards, t-shirts, promotional offers, tools, swag, etc.). Community members will buy tickets over the coming month and use their tickets to enter for a chance to win the baskets they are most interested in. In the lead up to the actual Facebook live event (sometime in June), they will feature each participating business, show their basket, and provide links to their website and social media pages. ALL proceeds will be distributed back to the participating businesses. Each participating

business will get a percentage of the proceeds; the percentage will be determined by how many baskets the business gives and the total number baskets (e.g. if a business donates five baskets and there are 100 total baskets, that business will get 5% of the revenue). With the business’s percentage of the proceeds, Project Stimulus will purchase gift cards to that business in $20-50 increments and randomly give them away to community members who participated in the event. The hope is these gift cards will generate more revenue for a

Generous Donations to Regional Food Pantries MAINE / NH Four regional food pantries in the southern Maine and seacoast region of New Hampshire were each recent recipients of $25,000 grants from the Jonathan King and James Stott Philanthropy Fund. Longtime residents of the

having difficulties feeding their families during this crisis, was a natural fit. “During the years that we owned Stonewall Kitchen, supporting food pantries was important to us and still remains a big part of Stonewall Kitchen’s current owner’s charitable focus. We are now privileged and thrilled to be able to add our private support to these worthy causes,” said Jonathan King. Each of the four local food pantries was awarded $25,000 making a total of $100,000 going to directly help thousands of citizens in need. The four agencies receiving the cash grants were the York Community Service Association Food Pantry in York, Foodprints of Kittery, Gather in Portsmouth, NH, and The Good Shepard Food Bank in Auburn. Each organization provides food and household items for community members in their

Beachfire Receives Community Recognition Award OGUNQUIT/YORK Beachfire Bar & Grille has recently been awarded the Community Recognition Award for delivering lunches and donations to area first responders. More than 2,000 meals have been donated with deliveries to the MSAD 60 Backpack Program, area police and fire departments, and local walk-in clinics and hospital. During this unusual time there are many individuals and businesses in the community 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 the community who have gone above and beyond the call of duty. If you would like to nominate someone, fill out the form found at www.yorkmaine.org and provide a 1-2 page essay describing how the business or individual has done something special for the community. All essays will be reviewed by members of the Thank You Committee. Email all information to info@yorkme.org, aharrison@ yorkmaine.org or bgaron@bergenparkinson.com.

MMS Students Make Masks ELIOT As a community service project that would help others locally during COVID-19, Marshwood Middle School Family Science students were challenged by their teacher Cathy Locke to design and sew face masks for their families, friends and community members. The students went above and beyond and created over 400 masks that were donated and distributed to individuals in the surrounding communities. Masks were distributed to the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, local nursing homes, and

retail store workers. Students also made masks for their siblings, parents, grandparents and neighbors. Students even mailed masks to their grandparents. For every mask made, the student earned a raffle ticket for a drawing of a “Movie Basket” filled with goodies. The random drawing of the 15 baskets was held on May 8 and baskets were picked up curbside or delivered to the students’ homes this week. A special thank you to all students who participated and to their families for their support in this project that helped make a difference in the lives of others.

Meeting the needs of clients who need support, including the large number of newly unemployed workers in local towns, is the goal of each of these well-established associations. Patti Gromley, Development Director of Gather in Portsmouth, NH thanked Jim and Jonathan saying “This couldn’t have come at a better time. Normally we provide 11-12 weeks of supplemental meals for students during school vacations and the summer weeks. We anticipate adding another 12-15 weeks this spring alone due to the corona virus. Donations like this one help us to be able to meet the needs of all our members, especially the children, at this critical time.” Michelle Surdoval of YCSA added, “A donation of this size means so much to a food pantry like ours. It also sends a strong message to the people we are serving. Meeting

~ News ~ Wells To Celebrate Maine 200 WELLS For those of you that don’t know, the State of Maine is celebrating its 200th birthday this year – Maine’s official “birthdate” is March 15. There are many events scheduled in towns and cities around the State. While these events have been halted temporarily, they will be rescheduled when it’s safe to do so. Wells is no exception. The Town of Wells has been work-

ing tirelessly since early last year gathering historic information and coordinating with other town organizations to create exciting and meaningful projects and events to acknowledge this momentous occasion. The public will hear about famous Wells residents, be invited to exhibitions, parties and general celebrations that tell the stories of great men and women from Wells, explaining how we got here and where we are headed.

“The overriding theme of this event is ‘multi-generational’”, according to Cindy Adamsky, Volunteer Coordinator for the Town. Adamsky commenced this project by engaging the WOCSD Superintendent James Daly, principals, and staff from Wells Elementary, Junior High, and High School, Wells Public Library, and Wells-Ogunquit Historical Society. The Wells Chamber of Commerce is working directly with the Maine 200 Bicentennial Commission and other chambers of commerce to

use his helmet to shield the blast. Severely wounded by the grenade’s fragments, Cpl. Dunham was taken off life-support eight days later. Corporal Dunham died so other Marines could live. He, too, was awarded the Medal of Honor for his gallantry. Approximately one million men and women of the U.S. military have lost their lives in defense of our nation since the founding of this great Republic. Not all have died from enemy fire. Some have died from diseases that have too often festered around war zones. Often times, deaths from disease and accidents outnumbered casualties caused by enemy weapons. During the Spanish American War, 60 soldiers of the allblack 24th Infantry Regiment volunteered to serve as nurses. Thirty-six of them would later die of yellow fever or malaria. A generation later, the flu

would kill nearly 16,000 U.S. soldiers in France during World War I. Another 30,000 American service members died in stateside camps. These men and women could have isolated safely in their homes. But they knew they had an important job to do. A mission to accomplish. They were all on a mission to serve. Even when the enemy is an invisible virus or a microscopic germ, the sacrifices made are just as meaningful. The U.S. military has already lost service members to COVID-19. This Memorial Day as we continue to honor those who fell for us in battle, let’s also pause to remember those who have also sacrificed their lives while serving others. May God bless them and may God bless you for remembering them here today. Thank you.

...LEGION from page 5 at Dallas’s Love Field, a crowd had gathered to witness the dignified transfer of the flag-draped casket from the Southwest Airlines jet into the receptive arms of the military honor guard. One observer reported that the entire crowd fell silent. The Southwest flight was piloted by another Air Force veteran, Col. Knight’s son, Bryan. Bryan Knight was only fiveyears-old when he said goodbye to his father as the elder Knight left for Vietnam. This is yet another legacy that these heroes leave behind. A legacy that includes their sons, daughters, grieving parents, grandparents and friends. Their heroic acts are sometimes performed to protect those with whom they serve. Corporal Jason Dunham was a squad leader with the Third Battalion, 7th Marines in Iraq. On April 14, 2004, his squad approached a Toyota Land Cruiser. After his squad discovered AK-47s in the vehicle, the enemy insurgent exited and engaged in hand-to-hand fighting with the unit. The driver dropped a grenade. To save his fellow Marines, Corporal Dunham made the ultimate sacrifice. He threw himself on the grenade and tried to

Local Schools Celebrate Graduation Differently

YORK COUNTY Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, most schools and learning institutions are suspending traditional graduation ceremonies.

A virtual Senior Convocation will be held on June 9, and a nontraditional Senior graduation event is planned for June 12, but is contingent upon Maine Department of Education approval. A graduation ceremony/celebration is scheduled for August 1, but is pending the authorization of gatherings greater than 50 people. Principal Francis will be providing specific details to students, parents/guardians and school personnel about these activities.

York Middle School

The seating area and gym will be sanitized before the next advisory enters the gym.

Marshwood High School

Graduation weekend is June 6-7.

Videos can be sent to Class of 2020 adviser Susan Thombs at sthombs@rsu21.net.

Kittery Celebrates Class of 2020 KITTERY Traip’s Class of 2020 was celebrated on May 14 at Fenway Park with a broadcasted message on the John Hancock video board. The Red Sox are offering fans the chance to create their own personalized message on the center field video board as a way to raise funds for the Red Sox Foundation, the club’s public charity that has been maintaining operations and programming during the pandemic. This is the first time the 40’ x 100’ John Hancock board is being utilized for fan messages. For more information, visit www.redsoxfoundation.org/scoreboard. The seniors also received support from the Kittery community on May 8 when a parade

was organized by Traip Academy staff. The Kittery police and fire departments took part in the line-up which drove by the homes of the soon-to-be graduates. Creators of a “Adopt-ASenior” program are hoping to gift the students with care packages in the mail by the end of May. Laura Campion, Kristi Mathieson, and Lisa D’Angelo, sent surveys to the seniors asking for information such as favorite snacks, restaurants, shops, and leisure activities. They will then randomly match community members with the teens to fulfill their care packages. To learn more, find “Traip AdoptA-Senior” on Facebook or email traipadoptasenior@gmail.com.

During May 19 -22, Graduates will receive an email from Scrip-Safe with a verifiable electronic version of their diploma attached. The eDiploma cannot be printed, but the attachment can be emailed to potential employers. Graduates not receiving an eDiploma by Monday, May 25, should reach out to Brittany Brown (bbrown4@une.edu) in the Registrar’s Office. During May 19 - July 3, Scrip-Safe will print and package printed diplomas for mailing to each graduate. All graduating students will receive an email from stamps.com at their une.edu address, alerting them that the printed diploma has been mailed and providing a tracking number.

“The Class of 2020 has lost a lot this spring, from missing out on proms and traditional graduation ceremonies to a disruption of their college and work plans,” said David Daigler, president of the Maine Community College System, in announcing the MCCS Gift to the Class of 2020. “Summer jobs are likely to be in short supply which makes it hard to earn money to help with college expenses and gain valuable work experience. We hope this can save the Class

of 2020 significant time and money in reaching their college and career goals. We can’t replace what they have lost, but we can offer to help them keep moving forward.” Students interested in getting a head start on their college career will be eligible to choose from online college-level classes in English, math, sciences, languages, psychology, history, digital photography, creative writing, and more. More information is avail-

able at www.mccs.me.edu/ class-gift-2020/, where students can connect with a college navigator to explore course options and get help registering for classes. About 13,000 Maine students will graduate from high school this spring, and about 60% – or 8,000 students – are expected to enroll in college this fall. The MCCS Gift to the Class of 2020 is an invitation to all graduates to explore their interests and potential.

plishment to not just the student receiving it, but to the families of the student. This is a huge deal, because getting a degree is something many Americans dream of but only few can achieve. The worst part is having to leave my friends and colleagues without so much as an in-person goodbye. After living and studying alongside hundreds of students every day, after doing this for 4 years, you can imagine the friendships I have developed along the way. I plan on staying in touch with my friends and colleagues of course, but not being able to have had that final goodbye before the end of the semester is disappointing. Thankfully, UNE plans on holding an in-person graduation later this year, that will give me a chance to wish my friends and colleagues good luck.”

do with my degree it’s ridiculous. I want to work with it all; from aquaculture and fisheries management to working in a laboratory. That’s why I want to just jump right into the work force and start experiencing as much as I can before I pursue a graduate education. However, jobs in my field were already competitive before the coronavirus, meaning that the search for jobs now is incredibly difficult. Before the coronavirus I had interviews for many positions in Maine and Massachusetts, introducing me to employers and building my professional network. But now it is difficult to find any positions. Many places are delaying their hiring processes for obvious reasons, and it is hard for newly-graduated and career-hungry people like myself to find a place in the job market. But that doesn’t mean I’m ready to give up, not even close.”

How has the coronavirus affected you and your college experience? “This semester was supposed to be THE semester. The semester where my friends and I spent our final days as college students relaxing on the beach after a long four years of hardship and studying. The semester where our friends and family gathered to see us finally receive the degree we worked so hard to get. But instead, there will be no celebrating, at least not this semester. People work their whole lives to put their children into college. Receiving a graduation and a degree is a massive accom-

student 42 years ago. He’s a graduate of Providence, RI’s Johnson & Wales University, which is well-known for its culinary arts school. He worked at restaurants all along the I-95 corridor and came to the Ogunquit area in the early 2000s to head the culinary arts program at York County Community College in Wells. He always dreamed of owning his own restaurant and got the chance in 2004, when he bought out Robert Bintliff, the original chef-owner. “I came to work as a bartender, started managing the front of the house and the next year bought him out,” said Hebert. He’s proud of his Bintliff’s team — “the best Pop and I could have ever worked with, past and present.” And he’s thankful for the community support and loyal patrons, too. “The biggest highlight over the years has been the community acceptance and the

number of great friends we’ve made. We’ve shared many laughs, created many memories and raised a glass or two of good cheer,” said Hebert. As Bintliff’s shuts down, Hebert has donated remaining food supplies to Beachfire Bar and Grille, which has donated 1000 meals to hospitals and first responders during the pandemic. Next week, he and his crew will hold an inside-outside sale. Tentatively set for Wednesday-Saturday, May 27-30, all tables, chairs, mirrors and other items from Bintliff’s will be sold. Hebert isn’t sure what he’ll do in the future. He’d like to land an outside bartending job this summer. But for now, he knows that he and Norm, Sr., made the right decision to close Bintliff’s. “We ask for patience and understanding. We made the decision and have pulled off the band aid. Now it’s time for the healing process to start,” he said.

Health & Fitness Relay For Life Volunteers Offer ‘Hope From Home’ STATEWIDE Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the previously scheduled Relay For Life live events across Massachusetts, Maine and New Hampshire through June have suspended their live events, and many now are participating on Sunday, June 7, 2020, in a virtual online experience called Hope From Home. Participants should register for their local event at http://RelayForLife.org and then on June 7 join the activities at https:// bit.ly/RelayHopeFromHome. Community volunteers and American Cancer Society staff from 50 events around the region, listed below, have teamed up for Hope From Home, a virtual Relay For Life experience. This online event will take place primarily on Facebook and will feature a mix of live and pre-recorded segments, plus prompts to post comments, photos and videos. It is all designed to celebrate cancer survivors and caregivers, to remember those who have passed away from the disease and to empower all to continue the fight against the disease. Collectively, these events are aiming to raise $500,000 in total this year. This money enables the American Cancer Society to help cancer pa-

tients, a population vulnerable to COVID-19, to navigate their cancer journey during a pandemic. The Society offers advice on coping with cancer treatment side effects, answers questions about health insurance and so much more. Donations fund a round-the-clock toll-free helpline 800-227-2345 and live chat at Cancer.org; support research into cancer’s causes, cures and treatments; and promote education to reduce the risk of a diagnosis and to detect cancer as early as possible. “During this difficult time, cancer hasn’t stopped, and neither will we,” said Louise Santosuosso, executive director for community development at the American Cancer Society. “Relay For Life is all about togetherness, but the safety of our patients, survivors, volunteers and staff is always a top prior-

ity. So, even though we cannot walk side-by-side right now, everyone around eastern New England can stand together with us online for Hope From Home. Everyone who joins will be inspired and entertained.” All are invited to join Hope From Home on Sunday, June 7, to become a part of the Relay For Life movement. Visit https://bit.ly/RelayHopeFromHome for more information. Founded by Dr. Gordy Klatt in Tacoma, Washington, in 1985, the Relay For Life movement unites 3.5 million participants across the world at more than 4,500 events to celebrate people who have been touched by cancer, remember loved ones lost, and take action for lifesaving change. Symbolizing the battle waged around the clock by those facing cancer, the event can last up to 24 hours and empowers communities to

take a stand against cancer. Typically, members of each team take turns walking or running around a track or path and participate in fundraising in the months leading up to the event. Donations collected at the event help the American Cancer Soci-

Wentworth-Douglass Hospital Phases-In Patient Services SEACOAST Over the last several weeks, Wentworth-Douglass Hospital was prepared to care for a large influx of COVID19 patients. However, they did not see the level of COVID-19 care needs that other areas of the country experienced. In fact, since the crisis started, only 20 confirmed COVID-19 patients have needed hospitalization at Wentworth-Douglass. Over 2,300 COVID-19 tests were performed and

only 139 (or just over 6%) tested positive. All indicators are forecasting minimal COVID19 cases for the community in the near future. In light of this, Wentworth-Douglass is now readying several service lines for re-opening using a gradual approach. It’s important to note that Wentworth-Douglass has processes in place to quickly pivot should a COVID19 microburst or surge present itself and their team is ready to respond.

While Wentworth-Douglass did not experience a complete shut-down of services during the crisis, they did pause a fair amount of services and are working hard to put new processes and plans in place so they can fully open these services again. This week, they started a phased-in approach to providing time-sensitive care needs in surgical services, imaging and cardiology before planning to ramp up in other areas of the organization over the coming weeks. For those who are familiar with Wentworth-Douglass, it may feel a little different. They are supporting social distancing needs and requiring protective measures for all who enter, including providing masks, supporting visitor restrictions and spacing out waiting areas and common areas. This is done to support the health and wellness of all. To stay up-to-date, visit www.wdhospital.org.

More Than $1.2 Million for Senior Nutrition in Maine WASHINGTON, D.C. Senator Susan Collins, the Chairman of the Aging Committee, announced that Maine will receive a total of $1,204,522 for senior nutrition through the Administration for Community Living. The funding includes $803,015 for home-delivered meals and $401,507 for congregate meals. Due to a Department of Health and Human Services policy change Senator Collins recently secured, Area Agencies on Aging can now use 100% of congregate meal funding for home-delivered meals, and more seniors are eligible for this service. “Given the heightened demand for nutrition services due to seniors self-isolating during the coronavirus pandemic, this funding was urgently needed,” said Senator Collins. “As the Chairman of the Aging Committee, I will continue to advocate for these vital programs that serve seniors by delivering meals directly to their homes

and reaching them where they are.” The Families First Coronavirus Response Act, which Senator Collins voted for earlier this month, provided the additional funding for the nutrition services programs authorized by the Older Americans Act (OAA). Senator Collins authored the reauthorization of the OAA, which includes a seven percent across-the-board increase for all OAA programs and will be signed into law today. OAA programs provide meals to more than 2.4 million older adults each year, both through home delivery and in places like community centers. The need for these services, particularly home-delivered and packaged meals, has increased as community measures to slow transmission of COVID-19 have closed meal sites and have left many family caregivers unable to assist their older loved ones.

Health & Fitness Bill to Prevent Drug Shortages Signed into Law WASHINGTON, D.C. A new law authored by U.S. Senator Susan Collins (R-ME), the Chairman of the Aging Committee, and Senator Tina Smith (D-MN) will help increase the availability of vital drugs needed to treat or prevent a wide variety of diseases, illnesses, and conditions. Components of the Mitigating Emergency Drug Shortages (MEDS) Act, which was supported by 14 health care organizations, was included as part of the Phase 3 coronavirus emergency response package that was signed into law on March 27. “At a time when our health care system is overburdened by the COVID19 pandemic, the last thing doctors, nurses, and patients should have to worry about is whether there will be an adequate supply of the lifesaving medications they need,” said Senator Collins. “Given that 13 percent of the facilities making active pharmaceutical ingredients for the U.S. market are located in China, it is important for the FDA to have greater visibility into the drug supply chain. Our legislation will help prevent disruptions and help increase the affordability and accessibility of prescription drugs.” Drug shortages can have severe health consequences for patients by delaying or even cancelling procedures until medication becomes available. They also add $230 million a year to U.S. drug costs and $216 million a year in increased labor costs since medical professionals must spend time identifying an alternative source of medication. Portions of the MEDS Act included in the CARES Act include: Prioritize review of drug applications and inspections. In the event of a shortage, FDA is permitted to not only expedite the review of drug marketing applications, but to prioritize review of supplements and abbreviated new drug applications (ANDAs) for generic drugs as well as inspections. Manufacturer reporting requirements for active pharmaceutical ingredients. Reporting of an interruption or discontinuance of a drug is

expanded from manufacturers of the finished dosage form to include also manufacturers of a drug’s active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). Reports are expanded to additional categories: full disclosure of the problems resulting in the shortage, information concerning the extent of the shortage, its expected duration, and expected impact on distribution and availability in pharmacies. Manufacturer planning requirements. Requires manufacturers to maintain risk management plans, including redundancy plans, to FDA for drugs that are life-supporting, life-sustaining, or intended for use in the prevention or treatment of a debilitating disease or condition, including any such drug used in emergency medical care or during surgery.

Maine National Guard Provides Fit Testing YORK COUNTY York County’s Hazardous Materials Response Team (HAZMAT) recently received much-welcomed assistance from the Maine National Guard in the form of respirator fit testing for first responders within York County. Respirator fit testing ensures a proper fit of the mask to the wearer and is required for the safety of the person wearing the respirator, as well as for patients receiving care. The test is completed according to guidelines established by the U.S Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Since March 30, the HAZMAT team has tested over 500 firefighters, emergency medical technicians and police officers. Coordinating the effort has been HAZMAT Technician and Air Force veteran Chris Allen. As the team’s equipment

officer, Allen has been lining up equipment and matching schedules to get this task done. “It’s been challenging. The materials needed to perform these tests are in critically short supply.

BUSINESS & FINANCE Maine 1 of 20 States Approved for Pandemic EBT STATEWIDE Congresswoman Chellie Pingree (D-ME) announced that Maine was approved for its Pandemic EBT (P-EBT) plan, which opens up school meal reimbursement benefits for households with children eligible for free and reduced-price meals to both current Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) households as well as non-SNAP households.

The P-EBT program was established through the Families First Coronavirus Response Act, one of Congress’ initial legislative efforts to respond to the coronavirus pandemic. Maine is one of only 20 states to be approved for their P-EBT plan. “For many Maine students, school meals are the only source of food they can rely on; this year almost 44% of Maine students are eligible for free or reduced-price meals through

their schools. When the coronavirus first caused school closures across the United States, it raised the issue of how children would receive the meals they normally got in school, especially as the pandemic caused economic uncertainty for many families,” said Pingree. “I’m proud that schools across Maine have stepped up to provide offsite meal services for many of our students, and the federal approval of Maine’s P-EBT plan

means that even more students in need can be served directly.” In addition to supporting families who utilize SNAP, P-EBT will allow families who wouldn’t otherwise receive SNAP benefits to receive a P-EBT card that will reimburse them for the cost of school meals that are not provided during the coronavirus pandemic. Families with at least one child under 18 who normally has access to free or

Addressing Storms & Resiliency of Tourism YORK COUNTY Federal funds will flow into a program designed to ease the effect of coastal storms and create a more resilient tourism industry for six Southern Maine towns: Kennebunk, Kennebunkport, Kittery, Ogunquit, Wells and York. U.S. Senators Susan Collins (R-ME) and Angus King (I-ME) jointly announced that

the Economic Development Administration (EDA) has awarded $160,000 to the Southern Maine Planning & Development Commission (SMPDC). The funding will support SMPDC’s development of an economic resiliency strategy to mitigate the effects of recent and future natural disasters in York County. Senators Collins and King said, “Natural disasters have the

Credit Union Highlights Maine Non-Profits YORK COUNTY Town & Country Federal Credit Union has announced a new effort as part of its ‘Local Helping Local’ initiative that was established in response to the economic impact from the pandemic. During May, the credit union has announced it will support non-profits in Cumberland and York counties with its “Non-Profit A Day in the Month of May” initiative. “Non-profits play a crucial role in providing services to our communities and we believe it’s important to not only provide financial support but to also build awareness about the challenges that many non-profits are facing right now,” remarked David Libby, President and CEO of Town & Country FCU. According to a survey conducted by the Maine Association of Non-Profits , three quarters of Maine non-profits that responded said they anticipated significant impacts on their programs and finances, and one of the major concerns was budget implications in a strained economy. The credit union is now asking visitors to its Facebook page to share the name of a

non-profit that serves Cumberland and/or York counties. Each day, the credit union will select a non-profit at random and make a $100 contribution to that non-profit as well as highlight the services it provides to the community. Through its ‘Local Helping Local’ initiative, the credit union has already provided significant support with contributions to help deliver thousands of meals to older Mainers, purchased meals for hundreds of frontline healthcare workers, assistance to families in crisis, and highlighted and supported locally-owned restaurants.

potential to disrupt the way of life in Southern Maine communities, many of which rely heavily on the tourism industry to fuel their local economies. We welcome this investment in the communities in Southern Maine, which will help municipalities develop plans to be as prepared as possible in the event of a flood or other natural disaster.” Paul Schumacher, Executive Director of SMPDC, said that the impact of the grant will be felt statewide. “These six towns account for a substantial amount of the state’s tourism activity and revenue. It is the most visited region in the State of Maine. Tourism is the most important industry in the coastal communities of York County, providing for 24% of Maine’s lodging sales tax.” (Maine Revenue Service, 2018) SMPDC applied for the grant after a significant storm roared up the East Coast in early 2018 and caused five million dollars in damage to Southern Maine coastal towns, resulting in an emergency declaration for York County from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The damage created access issues to beaches and businesses that lasted well into the summer tourism season. Photos of damage and boulderstrewn roads published on social

$3 Million in Additional LIHEAP Funding WASHINGTON, D.C. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced that Maine has been awarded $3 million through the CARES Act for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), which provides funding to help low-income households pay their

energy bills. In fiscal year 2020, Maine has already received more than $40 million in LIHEAP funding. In fiscal year 2019, LIHEAP provided heating assistance to more than two million senior households, representing 40 percent of total households served.

Schumacher says the grant, which was received on April 21, will be used to develop an immediate plan. “We will help businesses and town governments in the coastal communities anticipate the impact of natural disasters and take action to minimize those impacts. We will also study longer term solutions to lessen the negative economic impact of climate change. The study will be an important

reduced-price meals at school will be eligible for P-EBT. The P-EBT program will provide an extra boost in buying groceries for the families of the more than 82,000 children who are eligible for free and reduced lunch at schools in Maine. Families will receive $5.70 per meal per child. Unused benefits will roll over month-to-month but must be used within one year.

South Berwick Resident Named a ‘Logan Star’ SOUTH BERWICK / BOSTON, MA The Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport) awarded Steve Simpson of South Berwick with the Authority’s “Logan Stars” award. The award honors non-Massport employees at Boston Logan International Airport who exemplify the highest level of customer service and/or perform acts of heroism. Simpson, an Aircraft Maintenance Manager for JetBlue Airways, was recognized by Massport for his role in training first responders from Logan Airport’s neighboring communities for a potential aircraft incident. Last year, he held several comprehensive training sessions to help mutual aid partners from Boston Fire, Chelsea Fire, Revere Fire, and Winthrop Fire become familiar with aircraft systems and the hazards they could encounter in an aircraft incident. He also provided valuable information to help first responders protect themselves while supporting Massport Fire Rescue in an incident at Logan or an event in their own jurisdiction. Simp-

son, who has been with JetBlue for 15 years, was honored during a ceremony at Logan Airport on January 28. “We applaud Steve and the other Logan Stars award recipients for their diligence and for going above and beyond their call of duty,” said Massport CEO Lisa Wieland. “These 17 men and women acted selflessly at the right place and time, and performed with compassion, grace, and professionalism under stressful circumstances. We commend them for demonstrating our strong commitment to safety and security.” The award recognizes the contributions of airport employees in one or more categories: Providing exceptional customer service; Engaging in an act of bravery and/or heroism; Improving safety or security; Increasing operational efficiency or excellence in a way that benefits the Logan community; And creating innovations or new work processes that benefit the Logan community as a whole. The ceremony featured Boston Police Commissioner

William Gross, the first person of color to hold the position in the history of the Boston Police Department. He has served the people of Boston for over 35 years, starting as a Boston Police Cadet in 1983. Throughout his career, he has cultivated and maintained a strong connection with the community. In his current role, community policing remains one of his main priorities. He is often seen interacting with residents, local children, neighborhood groups, and community activists. Gross has received numerous awards for bravery and meritorious service. He has also been named one of Boston’s 100 Most Influential People of Color. “It’s an honor to have Commissioner Gross back at Logan Airport,” said Aviation Director Ed Freni. “His exceptional service to the City of Boston and leadership in community policing serve as a great example for all of us. Our airport community is safe because of the strong partnerships we’ve maintained with multiple law enforcement agencies and airport tenants throughout the years.”

Members Added to Tramuto Foundation Board of Directors OGUNQUIT As the Tramuto Foundation continues to prepare for its historic 20th Anniversary Gala in 2021, three accomplished professionals will add their unique skills and talents to the mix as the newest members of the Tramuto Foundation Board of Directors. Founded by Donato Tramuto as a tribute to two friends and their young son who perished on September 11, 2001, the Tramuto Foundation annually awards college scholarships to a graduating senior at Bangor High School and Wells-Ogunquit High School who have overcome adversity in their lives. In addition, the Foundation has awarded more than $2 million in grants to non-profit organizations in Maine, the United States and throughout the world. “The Tramuto Foundation’s 20th Anniversary Gala which will be held on September 11, 2021 at the Cliff House Resort, will require an all-handson-deck approach as we work collaboratively toward our ambitious goal of raising more than $1 million from this single event,” Tramuto explained. “Last year,

the Foundation announced it would be honoring nine amazing non-profit organizations at the Gala. The Tramuto Foundation has already provided these partners with a total of $3 million in multi-year grants, and each organization will receive a portion of the net proceeds from the evening’s event. With their unique talents and professional skills, our three new members will be essential to meeting our fundraising goal to ensure the continued success of this organization.” One of the newly appointed board members is Jay Beedle of Standish, a longtime account manager at Maine Today Media, where he has managed up to $2 million in annual local and national brand advertising since 1995. In addition, Beedle has an extensive background in sales and marketing management in Maine, New York City, and Chicago. Senior healthcare executive Diane Munson, formerly of West Newbury, MA, first met Tramuto in 1992 when they both worked in management at CareMark International. “Even back then, I recognized that Donato

was a business leader. I considered him an outstanding colleague and a wonderful friend and still do,” Munson said. Munson, who holds an undergraduate degree from Northwestern University and is President and CEO of The Munson Group, a healthcare services business consulting and executive mentoring company, is also a member of the executive committee of Tramuto’s other non-profit, Health eVillages, a global organization committed to providing state of the art medical mobile technology and training to underserved communities. New Foundation Board member Andrea ‘Angie’ Occhipinti is a resident of Saugus, MA, who retired after 34 years as a Massachusetts probation officer and earned a degree in business administration from Husson

Local Former Business Owner and Author Now Enjoying American Trash ELIOT For twenty-two years Bram Hepburn of Eliot owned and operated Great Bay Café & Catering in Dover and Somersworth, NH. He closed the businesses in 2010 and has since been working on a book about his unique lifelong hobby of bottle-digging and scuba-diving for discarded historical artifacts. The book is titled “The Field Guide to American Trash – The Hunt for Historical Treasures Underground and Underwater”. For forty years, Hepburn has hiked the woods of New England and snorkeled and dived the rivers of Northeastearn U.S., tracking down bottles, pottery, and other relics that were discarded by our ancestors, and are now valuable and beautiful pieces of very personal human history. His new book (available on Amazon and Ebay) is really worth the read. “It’s 1840 and a tired old man in dusty tattered work clothes, smoking a corn cob pipe, takes the last swig from his bottle of rum then tosses it onto the ground. Eventually it gets buried by the leaves. For almost two hundred years the bottle lays there undisturbed until I am lucky enough to discover it again and hold it in my hands. It wasn’t in a museum and it wasn’t in a

private collection. It just went from his hands into mine. That just blows my mind!” wrote Hepburn. Most trash from the 1800s or before has decomposed or disintegrated over the years, but glass, pottery, and some hard metal relics have survived the generations, and are hidden all around us waiting to be found. After forty of years enjoying this “fascinating hybrid of dumpster diving and urban archeology”, Hepburn shares the trade secrets and tips that might help you find a jackpot of historical treasure in your own neighborhood! The guide has colorful sections on sea glass, snorkeling fresh-water rivers and lakes, metal detecting, and will take you along the foliage lined tote roads of New England, into the darkest corners of a ten-foot deep Civil War era privy pit, and down to the murky bottoms of black water rivers in search of history. ...BELL from page 2

University in Bangor. More than 20 years ago, Occhipinti was introduced to Tramuto through a mutual friend and longtime Foundation Board member. “I never looked him up on the Internet, I just knew that Donato is always doing great things for so many people and organizations – I love the guy.” Occhipinti describes herself as a ‘people person,’ and is looking forward to working with the other Board members to ensure a successful anniversary event in 2021.

Today, the Nubble lighthouse itself is not accessible to the public, but the park, donated to the town of York by William Davies Sohier in 1929, includes a welcome center and gift shop which funds the maintenance of the park and lighthouse (no tax dollars used). “We are currently planning to open the gift shop on June 1. There will be an entirely new way of doing business at the Nubble but we plan to do our best and follow all guidelines. We have decided to offer an online option for our products (www.nubblelightstore.com), not our entire collection, but we know everyone at least needs to see the newest prints in Bill Thomson’s collection… New and existing apparel and a few souvenirs that we can ship out,” Nubble Lighthouse announced recently.

...FIT from page 13 to assist, so the HAZMAT team traveled to Augusta to provide training and technical assistance. The Maine CDC hosted the training for Guardsmen who come from medical job specialties and represent various units from across the state. Teams of four National Guardsmen can now be dispatched to conduct fit testing for staff at requesting congregate care facilities identified by Maine CDC and MEMA. While most Guardsmen have been assigned around the state, several are now serving in York County. Since the they arrived, many more fit tests have been completed. “Having the help from the Guard has been great. We’ve been able to get much more done in less time,” Allen said. “The support we’ve received from the York County team has been fantastic. Chris really knows his stuff. He’s been a real help,” said Chief Warrant Officer David Cheney. “And these young Airmen and Soldiers have stepped up to the task. They’re happy to be able to help their home state.”

Carole Patricia Arnaudin, 77 NORTH BERWICK – Carole Patricia Arnaudin, died Friday, May 15, 2020 at her residence following a brave battle with cancer. Carole was born September 20, 1942 in Brooklyn, NY, a daughter of John and Lillian (Kearns) Cropper. She was a graduate of Ramsey High School in Ramsey, NJ. Carole had a passion for decorating and had a great interest in art and fashion. She enjoyed reading, but most of all loved spending time with her family and the love of her life “Bobby”.

Susan V. Libby, 66

ROCHESTER, NH – Susan V. Libby, 66, of Rochester, NH, passed away peacefully May 1, 2020 at Frisbie Memorial Hospital after a period of failing health. She was born January 3, 1954 in Rochester, NH, daughter of Fred and Charlotte (Bellen) Marcou. Susan attended the Noble schools in the Berwicks. Susan was genuinely family orientated. She loved caring for all her grandchildren so they’d never have to stay with strangers. She was the fun-loving mom and grandmother who made every family BBQ a special event. Susan was quick to offer advice to her family whether or not it was welcomed. She was a wonderful mother and enjoyed helping anyone that needed anything. One of her favorite pas-

times was bingo. Susan was pre-deceased by her father Fred Marcou; two brothers, Dwight and Dwayne Marcou; sister Beverly Duquette; and her #1 sidekick grandson Jason Chase. She will be sorely missed by her husband of 36 years, Charles Libby, Jr. of Rochester, NH; mother Charlotte Marcou of Lebanon; four sons, Dale Marcou of Lebanon, Eddie (& Kathy) Chase, Craig (& Jill) Cunningham, and Charles Libby III, all of Rochester, NH; seven daughters, Marie Chase, Charlotte Chase (& David Lowe), all of Rochester, NH, Stacy (& Mike) Cunningham of Wakefield, NH, Shannon Ssenyondo (& Jeff) of Lebanon, Shirley McCall (& Jeff) of Springvale; two brothers, Jeff and Fred Marcou, Jr. of Lebanon; five sisters, Gloria Sanborn (& Arvid) of Lebanon, Theresa Tetu of South Berwick, Fredrica Kingsbury (& Bobby) of Sanford, Tammy Smith (& Bobby) of Rochester, NH, Mary Lou Labby (& Mike) of Somersworth, NH; 22 grandchildren; and nine great-grandchildren. At her request, there will be no public services. ArrangeSee LIBBY page 21...

~ Ask The Computer Lady ~ Dear Computer Lady, Do you know if dBan could be used on my MacBook? How about my iPad? Considering upgrading both devices, and will need to do this before I dispose of old ones. Thanks, Miriam Dear Miriam, You can use dBan (Darik’s Boon And Nuke) on your MacBook, but I don’t think it will work on your iPad. It will work on your MacBook as long as it has a traditional hard drive (not a solid state drive). I can’t give you directions since I don’t have a MacBook, but I was able to find directions with a quick google search. dBan probably won’t work on your iPad for a couple of reasons, one it doesn’t boot like a computer, and secondly, it does not have the same type of storage as your computer (no spinning drive). Your iPad does, however have an “Erase and Reset” function that makes data nearly impossible to recover. You can find that function in your iPad set-

tings. Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, Hi just wondering if you could please tell me if it is possible to increase/reduce the size of photos in bulk for pasting onto the net. Thanks in advance, Evelyn Dear Evelyn, I know that it is possible in the free program, Irfanview, in fact I have done it before. To start, if you don’t already have the free program, Irfanview, you can download it at: www.irfanview.com/. Once downloaded and installed, open irfanview. Click on the “File” menu, then click on “Batch Conversion/Rename”. This will open a dialog box where you can select photos on the right. Click to select, “Batch conversion - rename result files” You want this option so that you still have an original copy of your images. Click to place a checkmark in front of, “Use advanced op-

tions for bulk resize”, then click the “Advanced” button. A new dialog box will open. Click to place a checkmark in the “Resize” section. Now select your options. If you want all the images to be the same height, set that height in the box. Make sure “Preserve Aspect ratio” and “Use Resample Function” are selected. There are a lot of other adjustments you can make, when you are done, click “OK”. Now fill in the rest of the dialog box, selecting a name for the new images, where you want them to be saved, etc. Click the “Start Batch” button to start the process. Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, What program can I use to add words and arrows, lines, ect to my photos? Thanks, Emily Dear Emily, Here are a few ways to annotate your photos: Use the online service at addtext.com. It is fast and free. It is also a great way to create memes.

There is a free program called FastStone Capture at: www.faststone.org/FSCaptureDetail.htm. This will enable you to draw annotation objects such as texts, arrowed lines, highlights, watermarks, rectangles and circles directly on your images. One of my favorite programs for adding text and images to my pictures is Snagit at: techsmith.com. Snagit is not free, but I have used it for years to write computer tutorials. Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, Which programs do you like in Lieu of purchasing Microsoft Word? Thanks, MB Dear MB, First, let me say that I have Microsoft Office on my computer, and there really is no substitute for it. I use OneNote every day, and Outlook is also great. Since you asked only about Word, though, I will just look at word processing programs. If all you want is some basic word processing features, every

Windows computer comes with WordPad. It is a basic word processing program. To find it, just click on “Start” and type “Wordpad”. In WordPad you can type your letter, change the font, the text size and color, make text bold, italic or underlined and a few other basic things. WordPad saves your files in Rich Text Format (RTF) which can be opened in just about any word processing program. If you are looking for a few more functions than WordPad provides, I would suggest LibreOffice at www.libreoffice.org/ The word processing component of LibreOffice is called, Writer. One of the reasons that I like LibreOffice is that it can open and edit files created in the discontinued program, Microsoft Works. Writer has all the features you want in a word processing program. It is powerful enough to create a complete book with contents, diagrams, indexes and more. I’m sure there are many more word processing programs out there, but these are the ones I am familiar with. If someone else has a favorite, please be sure to let me know and I will share it with everyone. Elizabeth Interested in learning more? Elizabeth has answered thousands of computer questions over the years. To submit a question, email her at elizabeth.boston@ gmail.com.

Alphonse Palaima, 92 KENNEBUNKPORT – Alphonse “Al” Palaima died peacefully on May 6, 2020 in York Hospital with his wife, Leonora, by his side. He was born on November 19,1927 in South Boston, MA, to Anthony Palaima and Agota Zarancky, both of Lithuanian descent. Al attended B.C. High and graduated from Boston College with a Master’s degree in 1951. In 1951 he married Helen Ryan and they lived in Shrewsbury, MA. He started a teaching career as a classics instructor. He

taught Latin, Greek and Philosophy at St. Mark’s, St. Sebastian’s and Assumption Prep School in Worcester, MA. At Assumption he was a Director of the Middle School and coached a sailing team. After retirement he and Helen moved to Kennebunkport where they built a house in 1989. They both loved to sail their sailboat and go deep sea fishing. Helen died in 1997. Al’s longtime interest in rare books expanded to an interest in collectibles and antiques. He became a regular at auctions and briefly operated his own business. He was interested in travel and sought out opportunities in Bermuda, England and Greece. He returned to his parents’ native Lithuania often, reestablishing close ties with his relatives and deepening his serious and lifelong interest in the Lithuanian Catholic Church. Al met his second wife, Lithuanian native Leonora Sasnauskaite, in 1999 in Kennebunkport. They married the same year and lived in their house by the ocean. Al was a man of deep faith which sustained him and determined all his actions. He was a

scholar and a wonderful teacher, loved by his students who called him Uncle Al. He himself was a lifelong learner, he had an open inquiring mind. Reading was his favorite activity, he read every day, until the last day of his life. Al was keenly interested in politics. He was incredibly knowledgeable and respectfully disagreed when he felt it necessary. He was wise and perceptive and above all he was very kind, always and to everyone. Even though he didn’t have children of his own, he loved and spoiled his friend’s and neighbor’s kids, who enjoyed his sense of humor, playfulness and stories about learning horseback riding and sailing. Al loved life, people, nature and animals. He never met a stranger. He took a personal interest in everyone he met and had friends everywhere. As one of his friends’ young son said, Al had a beautiful soul, he valued a beauty in everything – nature, art, creation, music, and human relationships. He was predeceased by his parents, first wife Helen Palaima See PALAIMA page 22...

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.

Safe Haven Humane Society

WELLS All of us at Safe Haven have been celebrating many wonderful adoptions recently. Last Saturday Tom Terrific and Bionca, two Scaredy Cat School grads, went to their forever home. Saying goodbye is always sad, but it’s a great feeling knowing their new life will be filled with constant affection and the best of care. Cod and Starfish are hoping they’ll soon have a great home, too. Maybe yours? Make an appointment to visit them at 207-646-1611. These two arrived together. They’re only three years old, love people and have wonderful personalities. They will be wonderful additions to a cat-loving family with the time to give them the love they deserve. We are so grateful to all of you for helping us keep our shelter’s shelves stocked with food! Like so many others, our income has been crushed due to the pandemic and our thrift shop being closed. Your donations of canned Friskies, clumping litter and cleaning supplies have been a godsend. Leave your donations in plastic bags at our shelter door, 1420 Post Road, next to the Wells Library. We’re eagerly awaiting the reopening of Maine and our shop. So we’re going to begin slowly accepting donations for our thrift shop -- by appointment only. We’re in great need of hutches, open shelves, bookcases, china cabinets, small and medium sized tables and room dividers to serve as displays. Please do not leave any donations at our IGA Plaza thrift shop. Someone dumped bags of unwanted donations outside our thrift shop door. Please don’t! We cannot take anything except for approved items during the pandemic. The last thing we need are more problems to solve! We can’t touch any donation until four days have passed to prevent contamination spread! To schedule a time for donations, please call

teer hours from you Kitten season seems to be coming on strong this spring. Cats are being sighted in neighborhoods and rural places. Often they’re new mothers searching for food for their babies. Please feed any strays that come to you, and leave them fresh water. Mother cats are great moms and will often carry food back to their babies if they’re too young to toddle to your feeding station. Call a nokill rescue group if you suspect the kitty is homeless and might possibly have young. Now more than ever, it’s up to each of us to be considerate of one another, especially those working on the front lines during the pandemic. Never have we ever seen anything like this! If we all work together, we’ll get through this. Stay safe and take care of yourselves, your neighbors, and all the animals.

Dog Lover’s Guide to the Opening Up of COVID-19 Restrictions DogFriendly.com has spent over two decades helping people find places to which to take their dogs. From hotels to attractions, restaurants to beaches, shopping, dog parks, RV parks, city and state parks, hikes and more, DogFriendly. com has searched the places where dogs are welcome. As states are opening up most of us are or will shortly be able to walk our dogs on leash. Dogs during this time need to stay on leashes more than ever as they can create more human to human contact. Dog Parks in most states have been closed for the initial shutdown stages but many are now open with phase one openings. Check your local regulations. Parks in some cities and states have been closed too but with proper social distancing many have remained open. Again, dogs should remain on leash when in parks and well controlled in dog parks. Some people who require limited risk of infection should pick the slower times to walk their dog or to go to the neighborhood dog park. Traveling in an RV or tent camping is good for your dog and likely good for avoiding Corona-virus for people. Unlike

Social distancing is easier as well. After 9/11 there was a big uptick in traveling with your family and your dogs. People traveled by car for a while more than planes. They stayed closer to home and wanted to keep the whole family together. It is likely we will see a similar pattern as the country opens up from COVID-19. DogFriendly. com will continue to list places that, as things begin to open up, your dog can do with you.

Now, I do have to tell you, I have hyperthyroidism, which is a condition easily managed by daily medication. I’m good at taking my pills too, so don’t let that deter you from meeting me! Here at AWS, we have a fantastic cat garden for us felines to look out on. There are bird feeders and sometimes even the squirrels come by to entertain us. In this garden, some small beautiful purple flowers are starting to make their appearance – irises! Just like me! Wouldn’t it be great if I were home before the irises bloomed? So I could enjoy my namesake flowers from the comfort of my very own home? I’d really love that! If you’d like to meet me, call AWS at 207-985-3244 between the hours of 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. to make an appointment. I’ve got my day planner open, ready to pencil you in!” To learn more about Iris and the other cats available for adoption at www.animalwelfaresociety.org.

5 Ways Pitchers Can Stay Sharp During Interruption

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused either the indefinite suspension or cancellation of baseball seasons. Meanwhile, social distancing measures and stay-at-home orders have prevented players from working out in public facilities or participating in outdoor team activities like they normally would. Considering those obstacles and the uncertainty of when, or if, Major League Baseball and other age levels in summer leagues will resume, how do pitchers keep their arms in shape? And if they don’t, are they more susceptible to injuries? Ron Wolforth, a long-time pitching trainer who is founder of Texas Baseball Ranch and author of “Pitching with Confidence: A Parent’s Guide To Giving Your Elite Pitcher An Edge”, says too much inactivity during the prolonged disruption can have physical consequences for pitchers when competition resumes – and there are plenty of ways to keep up their conditioning even when in isolation. “A new threat to throwing athletes will emerge amidst the COVID-19 outbreak,” Wolforth says. “Soft tissue needs preparation for the stresses of highintensity throwing, and now the

normal ramp-up time has been interrupted, so the risk to soft tissue could increase. “Pitchers need to take a work-while-you-wait approach. The old saying, ‘If you don’t use it, you will lose it’ is 100 percent true. To minimize the risk of injuries, purposeful throwing must be maintained, and a consistent overall conditioning program should be adhered to.” Wolforth offers tips for pitchers to stay in shape and stay sharp during the wait: Don’t take extended periods off. “Just playing catch on a regular basis is far better than a shutdown,” Wolforth says. “You can maintain social distance in a yard with one other person and keep your arm loose. Too much inactivity puts you in catchup mode. If you take a week off it will take you two weeks to get back to the conditioning level you were at before the time off. Take off a month and it will take you six weeks.” Cycle workouts of varying intensity. “The pitching athlete cycles when he is in season, and he should in fact be cycling right now,” Wolforth says. “Have two intense days in a seven-day period, separated by a minimum of 48 hours between intense

pitching sessions. Have two light days and three medium days within that seven-day frame.” Use pitching tools. “Wrist weights, a throwing sock, or a hand-speed trainer can be used inside the home as a bridge to keeping your arm and shoulder healthy and durable,” Wolforth says. “Throwing to a training screen or pitchback in fairly closed quarters can help improve control.” Use the extra time to focus on weak areas. “This time is a great opportunity to get better at certain things that you otherwise wouldn’t have the time to invest,” Wolforth says. “Mobility and flexibility, strength, balance, and stability, structural alignment, mechanical efficiency, and different pitches. Some of these are things you can work on in your house; others you can work on outside at a safe distance with a throwing partner. Watch videos. “Studying replays or tutorials of elite pitchers in action will build you a library of knowledge,” Wolforth says. “Spending a lot of time inside currently gives you a great opportunity to learn from the best, then simulate it.” “This is not a time to overrest the arm and let the soft

Miles for Mills 5K Online STATEWIDE The annual Miles for Mills 5K, presented by New Balance Foundation, has been switched to a virtual event instead of hosting it on Memorial Day, May 25 this year, in Augusta. While keeping social distancing in mind, the

Sea Dogs’ 2020 Season PORTLAND The 2020 Portland Sea Dogs season is delayed in respect for Governor Mills’ re-opening plans which restrict crowds of more than 50 through at least July.

Fans who would like a refund may mail their tickets to Portland Sea Dogs, ATTN Refund Request, PO Box 636, Portland, ME 04104, no later

And when baseball returns to Hadlock Field, they’ll be ready!

tissue atrophy,” Wolforth says. “The longer and more gradual the ramp-up to pitching competitively, all things being equal, is the safest approach to health and durability of the arm.” Ron Wolforth is known as America’s “Go-To Guy” on

pitching, creating groundbreaking training programs. Since 2003, 121 of his clients have been drafted by MLB teams. In that same period, Wolforth has helped 425 pitchers break the 90 miles-per-hour barrier (www. texasbaseballranch.com).

Getting to Know Some of Our Real Estate Professionals! Gail Bergeron| 207-251-0632 | gailbmaine1@gmail.com

Karen Schlegel | 207- 229-8927 | karen@karenschlegel.com

How long in the business of real estate, and what led you to this career? I began at RE/MAX Realty One in 2005 as an assistant for Team Wunder when we were all just babies! I got my license three years later so I’ve been with RRO for 15 years and selling for 12. When I first moved to Maine in 1999, I worked as the front desk secretary at Perkins Real Estate and got my first taste of Realtor life. When my kids were nearly out of school, I figured I would have the full time to devote to this new career.

How long in the business of real estate, and what led you to this career? Over 30 years combined. Mid-‘80s started as secretary for real estate office and quickly obtained my real estate license. What energizes you in real estate? The people I meet and many of them become dear friends and confidants.

What energizes you in real estate? I love a challenge and each and every transaction starts out with a seller saying “Do you think you can sell my house?” or a buyer saying “Do you think you can find me a house?” Challenge accepted! I love meeting new people and working together towards a common goal.

What advice would you give to your teenage self? Keep at it and always give your best – do above and beyond – go the extra distance. One behavior or trait that you think most attributes to your success in real estate? Straight up honesty, no BS.

What advice would you give to your teenage self? I would tell teenage Gail don’t be afraid to take a chance even if it seems like a wild one.

What’s one thing most people don’t know about you and what’s a hidden talent? Can do 11 cartwheels in a row.

One behavior or trait that you think most attributes to your success in real estate? My tenacity.

Best advice you were ever given? Don’t undersell yourself and your skill set.

What’s one thing most people don’t know about you and what’s a hidden talent? I once worked all summer as a magician’s assistant! I’ve been told my hidden talent is that I can make babies laugh. I’ll take it!

Three words friends use to describe you? Fun, smart, caring.

Best advice you were ever given? It’s easier to go around the brick wall than it is to try to smash through it. You’ll come out at the same place but be far less bloody.

Kyle Mango

| 207-712-4721 | kyle@buyandsellmaine.com

How long in the business of real estate, and what led you to this career? Eight-ish years. Started out as a personal assistant to a top-producing agent then went for my license and now an Associate Broker.

Three words friends use to describe you? Honest, reliable, hardworking.

What energizes you in real estate? Closings! No deal is the same. All properties are different and all sellers/buyers are different. What works for one property will never work for another.

Kathryn Harrison| 207-651-4101 | Kathryn.harrison@remax.net How long in the business of real estate, and what led you to this career? 34 years! I have always worked with the general public and just decided to pursue this avenue.

What advice would you give to your teenage self? Don’t be afraid to call people. Make the phone calls, get over your fear of failure, and just go for it. It’s ok to ask for help!

What energizes you in real estate? Determination to get the job done.

One behavior or trait that you think most attributes to your success in real estate? Sometimes it’s all about who you know and how you meet people. Waiting in line or sitting at a bar/restaurant, strike up some conversation and getting to know people.

What advice would you give to your teenage self? This is hard one, I majored in ‘Partying 101’.

What’s one thing most people don’t know about you and what’s a hidden talent? I can move my eyebrows and ears separately.

One behavior or trait that you think most attributes to your success in real estate? Patience and listening to my clients to make them feel comfortable.

Best advice you were ever given? Always have a business card on you!

What’s one thing most people don’t know about you and what’s a hidden talent? That I am a real home body and like to do projects on my own home. I find this very satisfying.

Three words friends use to describe you? Personable, outgoing, relatable.

Best advice you were ever given? To always save part of every commission, but to treat yourself with small rewards. Three words friends use to describe you? They all think I overwork.

We’ll always remember those who sacrificed for our freedom!
