The Meaning of the Flag-Draped Coffin NATIONWIDE Do you know that at military funerals, the 21-gun salute stands for the sum of the numbers in the year 1776? There are some traditions and ways of doing things that have deep meaning. The flag-folding ceremony represents the religious principles on which the United States was originally founded. The portion of the flag denoting honor is the canton of blue containing the stars representing states our veterans served in uniform. The canton field of blue dresses from left to right and is inverted only when draped as a pall on the casket of a veteran who has served our country honorably in uniform.

Underwater Ledge Removal to Begin June 3 KITTERY As part of Portsmouth Naval Shipyard’s Dry Dock #1 Super Flood Basin construction, it is necessary to excavate a portion of underwater ledge in order to provide a deep enough basin capable of accommodating a modern-day fast attack submarine. The construction of a super flood basin at the head of Dry Dock #1 will create a lock system that significantly reduces the amount of calculated risk incurred each time a submarine is brought in or out of Dry Dock #1. Underwater explosives will be used as a means for bedrock

Berwick Car Show Cruises into Town for 8th Year

BERWICK Celebrating its 8th year, the Berwick Car Show kicks off on Sunday, June 6 at the Berwick Town Hall, 11 Sullivan Square, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. (rain date is Sunday, 13 June). Hosted by the members of Charles S. Hatch Post #79, this car show is the brainchild of long time American Legion member Andy Buckman who made his career in the auto industry following his service in the United States Navy. This year, the featured car is a rare 50th Anniversary Limited Edition Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, purchased by Wayne G. Hall, a World War II Army veteran who served under General George S. Patton. Wayne, who eventually retired to Glendale Arizona and spent his summers in Maine, became the

proud owner of this now classic car in 1976. Although this “muscle car” became famous for its prominent role in the 1977 “Smokey and the Bandit” road action comedy, Richard’s stepmother Gertrude proudly drove “her” black-andgold Trans Am to church every Sunday. Wayne, who we understand continued to follow local speed limits while driving, eventually sold his beloved Firebird to his son, Dick Hall, who ostensibly bought this striking black beauty of a car for his and Donna’s 20th wedding anniversary! Dick’s Firebird will be joined by dozens of other cars, trucks, customs, and motorcycles on display by their proud owners as they vie for top honors as the best in show for their vehicle class. Attendees can pick up a

and using explosive materials. In addition, the project draws on the drilling and blasting team’s extensive experience. Measures are incorporated to minimize impacts on fish and marine wildlife. The Maine Department of Environmental Protection, Maine Department of Marine Resources, and the National Marine Fisheries are being consulted with, prior to the work receiving approval. Because the blasting will be confined (a charge placed within a drilled hole of bedrock), impacts from each blast are anticipated to be muffled. In addition, the stemming of the blast charges (filling the hole with gravel or crushed stone), further contains blast energy within the bedrock and minimizes the amount of energy escaping into the surrounding body of water. Qualified marine wildlife observers will utilize industry standards to confirm marine wildlife are not in the blast zone prior to and during blasting activities. If marine wildlife are observed entering the established shutdown

of belief in the resurrection of the body. Have you ever noticed that the honor guard pays meticulous attention to correctly folding the United States flag 13 times? You might have thought it was to symbolize the original 13 colonies, but here we find each fold is symbolic of something else: The first fold of the flag is a symbol of life. The second fold is a symbol of the belief in eternal life. The third fold is made in honor and remembrance of the veterans departing the ranks who gave a portion of their lives for the defense of the country to attain peace throughout the world. The fourth fold represents the weaker nature, for as American citizens trusting in God, it is to Him we turn in times of peace as well as in time of war for His divine guidance. The fifth fold is a tribute to the country, for in the words of Stephen Decatur, ‘Our country, in dealing with other countries, may she always be right; but it is still our country, right or wrong.’ The sixth fold is for where people’s hearts lie. It is with their heart that they pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all. The seventh fold is a tribute to its Armed Forces, for it is through the Armed Forces that they protect their country and their flag against all her enemies, whether they be found within or without the boundaries of their republic. The eighth fold is a tribute to the one who entered into the valley of the shadow of death, that we might see the light of day. The ninth fold is a tribute

to womanhood, and mothers. For it has been through their faith, love, loyalty, and devotion that the character of the men and women who have made this country great has been molded. The tenth fold is a tribute to the father, for he too has given his sons and daughters for the defense of their country since they were first born. The eleventh fold represents the lower portion of the seal of King David and King Solomon, and glorifies in the Hebrew’s eyes, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The twelfth fold represents an emblem of eternity and glorifies in the Christian’s eyes, God the Father, the Son, and Holy Spirit. The thirteenth fold, or when the flag is completely folded, the stars are uppermost reminding us of our national motto, ‘In God We Trust.’ After the flag is completely folded and tucked in it takes on the appearance of a cocked hat, ever reminding us of the soldiers who served under General George Washington, and the sailors and marines who served under Captain John Paul Jones, who were followed by their comrades and shipmates in the Armed Forces of the United States, preserving for us the rights, privileges, and freedoms we enjoy today. The source and the date of origin of this flag folding procedure is unknown, however some sources attribute it to the Gold Star Mothers of America while others to an Air Force chaplain stationed at the United States Air Force Academy. This article was based on a Facebook post from 2018 by Rob Amsden of Florida which resurfaced to commemorate Memorial Day in 2021. It has been edited and includes information from www.legion.org/flag/folding. The photo is from https:// flag-post.com/draping-a-casketwith-the-u-s-f lag/ which also provides history.

~ News ~ Marshwood Seniors Recognized SOUTH BERWICK Marshwood senior, Lianna Leavitt, earned second place honors in the annual Margaret Chase Smith essay contest, open to Maine High School seniors. This year’s topic asked students to share their thoughts on the Electoral College by considering the following prompt: “The nation has been through another election cycle that has reminded us that the President of the United States is not ultimately

selected by “we the people.” The Library invites students to offer their opinions on whether the Electoral College has outlived its usefulness, or if it is more important than ever given the country’s current deep political polarization. Should it be abolished, retained, or reformed?” Lianna’s essay was titled, “In a Democratic Society, All Votes Should Be Considered Equally,” and she was awarded $500 for her 2nd place essay.

~ Ask The Computer Lady ~

Dear Computer Lady, I have a simple question but yet it is too difficult for me to figure out. I have a desktop PC with Windows 10. I also have a HP Laptop that is also running Windows 10. I would like to be able to share same information, like photos, documents, etc. between each computer. Is this all possible with use of the cloud? Or do we still have a set procedure to network both computers together? Sincerely, Kenneth Dear Kenneth, One of the advantages of

the newer versions of Windows, and specifically, OneDrive is that you can automatically keep your settings and documents synced between devices. First, if you log into both your desktop and laptop with the same Microsoft account, you can set your desktop settings and app settings to sync automatically. Just click on “Start” and type “Sync Settings” to open your OneDrive settings dialog. Then click the settings you want to sync between computers. For your files, simply store files you want to sync in the

Dear Computer Lady, I am a long-time reader of your wonderful column, which continues to give me absolutely great info. My question is about Windows 10: I have pinned many programs to my start menu in the tile section, but there are too many items and they won’t all display because there’s no room, so I need to get smaller icons just for the start menu tiles. Is it possible to decrease the size of the menu icons only? I do not want to change the size of the desktop icons. Marge Dear Marge, Yes, you can change the size of the start menu tile icons without decreasing the desktop icons. Here is how: 1. Click on the start button. 2. Right-click on any tile in the start menu. 3. Point to “Resize” in the context menu. 4. Click to select the desired size. Once you have changed the size of the tiles on your start menu, you can drag them to organize them into different groups, and you can even organize them into folders like you do on a phone. Just drag one tile over another tile to create a folder that con-

tains both, then drag additional tiles over the folder to add them. Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, I love reading your column as I am not a computer literate person and it helps me a lot. My question is when I want to log into my email I keep getting this Yahoo, New Privacy and Terms letter. I always click on I’ll accept later and then I can go to my email which is att.net. Supposedly eventually I have to accept this or I will no longer be able to use my email. Do you think this is a legitimate letter and is it safe to accept?. Have they always been analyzing everything I use? Would it be better to change to another email site? Thanks for any thoughts on this. Chris Dear Chris, Yes, this looks like the new Yahoo privacy and terms letter, so it is a legitimate notice, and as safe to accept as any other online email terms of service. I would always assume that any free email service is analyzing everything you do with your email. It doesn’t mean that there is some person sitting at a desk reading all your email messages, but it does mean that a computer program is looking for key words and phrases so that they can pick

advertising that you would be more likely to respond to. If you want truly private email, you would need to use a paid service like the one that comes with most Internet service accounts, or register your own domain and get email addresses set up under that domain. Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, Thank you for all your help over the years. I have Windows 10. How do I increase the internal storage on my PC for iPhone photos? I have 29.8 GB free space. I have used 28.5 GB space, which leaves me with 1.22 GB space remaining. Thank you for your help. Robert Dear Robert, I am going to guess that the limit on photo storage is coming from your phone and not your PC. Your PC can hold as many photos as it has room for on the hard drive, so unless your hard drive is almost full, you should not have a limit there. A quick way to check is to open “File Explorer” on your PC, click on “This PC” in the navigation pane on the left, then right click on your “C:” drive on the right and select “Properties” from the context menu that appears. If you have plenty of room on your PC, it is not the cause of your limited storage. Next, check your phone: Tap on “Settings”, then “General” and “About”. Scroll down until you see “Available” and look at the number on the right. This is how much space is available on your phone. Unfortunately, if your See COMPUTERS page 19...

Romano Discusses Gravestones WELLS / OGUNQUIT On Saturday May, 22, the Historical Society of Wells & Ogunquit hosted Ron Romano, author and cemetery historian, who led a fascinating tour of Ocean View Cemetery. Ron guided visitors through three centuries of gravestone symbolism, noting the changes in funerary customs, design and materials. Beginning with the thin, slate stones of the 17th and 18th centuries, which included early New England “winged faces and skulls” to the romantic Victorian period which favored symbols of mourning like weeping willows and urns. Romano also discussed the unique “billboard monuments” which are detailed in his latest book, and several of these stones can be found at Ocean View.

NATIONWIDE Often considered the unofficial kick-off to summer, Memorial Day weekend typically includes lots of celebrations and cookouts, often with outdoor grilling as a focal point. As the holiday and summer months near, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) reminds everyone of basic safety tips and precautions to grill and celebrate safely. NFPA data shows that from 2014-2018, fire departments responded to an annual average of 10,600 home fires annually involving grills, hibachis, or barbecues. This includes 4,900 structure fires and 5,700 outside or unclassified fires. These fires resulted in an annual average of 10 civilian deaths, 160 civilian injuries, and $149 million in direct property damage. Leading causes of grill fires include failing to clean the grill, the heat source being located too close to combustible materials, leaving equipment unattended, and leaks or breaks in the grill or fuel source. “As grilling season approaches, it is important to review basic safety tips to ensure grillers are using equipment properly and safely, especially if the grill hasn’t been used over the winter,” said Lorraine Carli, vice

Now more than ever, we recognize the vital role which community nursing plays in meeting the healthcare needs of our region. The exceptional nurses of our agencies deliver the highest quality care with compassion to the door of thousands of patients, wherever they call home. In celebration of National Nurses Week in May, we are proud to pay tribute to their renowned clinical expertise as well as the special relationships they develop with patients and families.

president of Outreach and Advocacy at NFPA. “Establishing a firesafe location for using your grill is also crucial. It should be a safe distance from your home and other items that can burn.” Carli notes that as people continue to stay home in response to the pandemic, there may be an increased use of grills and other outdoor cooking equipment this season, making it critically important to share these messages with the public. A yearly average of 19,700 patients went to emergency rooms because of injuries involving grills. Nearly half (9,500 or 48 percent) of the injuries were thermal burns, including both burns from fire and from contact with hot objects; 5,200 thermal burns were caused by such contact or other non-fire events. Children under five accounted for an average of 2,000 (39 percent) of the contact-type burns per year. These burns typically occurred when a child bumped into, touched, or fell on the grill, grill part, or hot coals.

NFPA offers these and other tips and recommendations for enjoying a fire-safe grilling season: For propane grills, check the gas tank for leaks before use in the months ahead; Keep grills clean by removing grease or fat buildup from the grills and in trays below the grill; Place the grill well away from the home, deck railings, and out from under eaves and overhanging branches; Always make sure your gas grill lid is open before lighting it; Keep children and pets at least three feet away from the grilling area; When charcoal grilling, only use charcoal starter fluid. Never add charcoal fluid or any other flammable liquids to the fire. When you have or are finished grilling, let the coals cool completely before disposing in a metal container; Never leave your grill unattended when in use.

Health & Fitness Mills Administration, AARP Maine Announce Age-Friendly State Plan Strategy AUGUSTA The Mills Administration announced Maine’s final Age-Friendly State Plan, the culmination of more than a year of collaboration with AARP and more than 50 other organizations throughout the state to craft a comprehensive strategy to help Maine’s older residents live well and safely in their communities. The plan follows Maine’s designation in October 2019 as an AARP Age-Friendly State, the first step in a multiyear process to make Maine more livable for people of every age. Maine was the sixth state in the nation to receive the coveted designation, which provided access to critical data, technical advice, best practices and organizing tools to help Maine plan for the future and learn from a global network of partners to better serve older Mainers. Today, more than 100 communities in Maine also have the age-friendly designation. Maine’s population is currently the oldest in the nation, with residents 60 and older making up nearly a third of the state’s total population. The Age-Friendly State Plan confronts this reality by offering strategies for how Mainers can age in their homes and communities as long as possible while continuing to contribute to the economy and live healthy lives. Under the plan, Maine’s age-friendly work will focus on 7 areas: Health coverage, health care, healthy aging and supportive services: Protect access to health coverage through the Made for Maine Health Coverage Act, test new models for delivering health care, promote access to community services that prevent admissions to hospitals and nursing homes, and improve management of chronic health conditions; Housing: Promote access to affordable housing by exploring new models, such as intergenerational and shared housing, and support older Mainers in remaining at home through modifications and accessibility improvements; Employment and financial security: Embrace an aging workforce by incentivizing employers and creating training programs, improve access to existing financial planning and retirement re-

sources, and protect older Mainers’ from fraud; Accessible communication and information: Support access to high-speed internet and cellular service, make services and resources easier to access; Transportation: Increase support for creative methods of transportation to reduce social isolation, increase access to goods and services, and allow Mainers to age in the communities of their choice; Natural resource management, outdoor spaces and recreation: Encourage opportunities for outdoor recreation for all abilities, support farmers and woodlot owners in succession planning to help them maintain their properties for future generations; Respect, equity and social engagement: Expand opportunities for inclusion and diversity, help aging Mainers retain

dignity and autonomy, promote volunteerism and community service. Maine will now turn to implementing the recommen-

dations and working with local partners to encourage agefriendly initiatives in all parts of the state, sponsored by employers, municipalities, commu-

nity-based organizations, educational institutions, places of worship and others. At the state level, the Mills Administration will work to develop policies consistent with the plan and benchmarks to track progress toward its goals.

Graduate Certiﬁcate in Trauma Emergency Management Available AUGUSTA This fall, the University of Maine at Augusta (UMA) begins offering a new graduate level program in the interdisciplinary field of emergency management. The online program will admit its first cohort in fall 2021 and applications are now being accepted. Registration opens April 12 for Fall 2021. The Trauma-Informed Eme rge nc y M a n a ge me nt (TEM) program is Maine’s first graduate program in the interdisciplinary field of emergency management, and the country’s only emergency management graduate program that is trauma-informed. The 16-credit TEM program curriculum is rooted in the Emergency Management Cycle, recognizing the essential roles of preparedness, resilience, mitigation, adaptation, response, and recovery in all emergency management related fields. The program integrates a trauma-informed perspective, recognizing the substantial impact of trauma

to individuals and communities, as well as to the emergency responders themselves. “The past year dealing with the pandemic has brought into focus the need for welltrained professionals in all areas of emergency management,” stated Kati Corlew, UMA Associate Professor of Psychology and Coordinator of the new program. “Providing a trauma-informed perspective is a very critical part of the graduate certificate program, and is an important part of an emergency management response, regardless of the type of emergency or the number of individuals in-

volved,” Corlew continued. The graduate certificate is appropriate for current and future emergency managers, crisis workers, town planners, not-for-profit and community-based organizations, educators, school board members and administration, data managers, counselors, and others in private and public sectors who seek to increase their organization’s or community’s preparedness for emergency. This UMA-based program collaboratively draws expert faculty from across other University of Maine System schools to offer a robust curriculum that will increase emergency management capacity and professional expertise.

More Than $9.7M for Mental Health WASHINGTON, D.C. U.S. Senators Susan Collins, a member of the Senate Health Committee, and Angus King announced that the Maine Department of Health and Human Services has been awarded a total of $9,772,660 to support mental health and substance use programs throughout the state. This funding, awarded through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), was allocated through the December COVID-19 relief package. “No community is immune from these heartbreaking disorders that have taken a toll on far too many of our peers, friends, and neighbors,” said Senators Collins and King in a joint statement. “This critical funding will give Mainers who are struggling with mental health and substance use disorders access to the treatment programs they need to achieve recovery and healing.” T he f u ndi ng tota l i ng $9,772,660 was allocated as fol-

lows: $6,530,972 was awarded through the Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Block Grant program to plan, implement, and evaluate activities that prevent and treat substance use and promote public health; $3,241,688 was awarded through the Community Mental Health Services Block Grant program to provide comprehensive, communitybased mental health services to adults with serious mental illnesses and to children with serious emotional disturbances. The funding will also be used to monitor progress in implementing a comprehensive, community-based mental health system. SAMHSA operates a 24/7, national helpline that people can call to find treatment referral resources for mental health or substance use disorders: 1-800-662-HELP (4357).

continuing effort to ensure all children in Maine remain nourished and healthy, the campaign recently announced nearly $340,000 in grants to 12 school districts and community organizations to support their efforts to feed kids. No Kid Hungry worked in close partnership with their lead Maine partner, Full Plates Full Potential, to invest in districts and community organizations with critical needs. “No child should have to struggle with an empty stomach or stress about when they will eat again. These grants will help reach more kids with the food they need to grow up healthy, educated and strong,” said Kristen Dunphey, Field Manager for the No Kid Hungry Campaign. “The funding awarded by No Kid Hungry has been crucial in supporting nutrition programs statewide to reach as many kids as possible during these challenging times for families,” says Jenn So, senior program officer at Full Plates Full Potential. Local organizations that were recipients of this round of No Kid Hungry grants across the state of Maine include Kittery Public Schools and RSU54/MSAD54.

FINANCE & CAREER Additional H-2B Visas Issued WASHINGTON, D.C. Following a push spearheaded by U.S. Senators Susan Collins (R-ME) and Angus King (I-ME) and Representative Chellie Pingree (D-ME), the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of Labor (DOL) issued a joint rule making available an additional 22,000 H-2B visas that will help small businesses fill seasonal job openings. Qualifying employers can begin applying on May 25. These visas will supplement the previous supply of 33,000 H-2B visas for the second half of the current fiscal year, all of which have been claimed. In March, Senators Collins and King and Representative Pingree sent a letter to DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas urging him to increase the number of H-2B visas. Senator Collins also led a letter in April signed by 10 Senators, including Senator King, calling on DHS and DOL to expedite their rulemaking process to make the additional 22,000 visas available for the summer season. Also last month, Senator King urged President Biden to rescind a Trump ban on seasonal and cultural exchange visas. In addition, in February, Senator Collins secured a commitment from U.S. Department of Labor Secretary Marty Walsh to work to ensure that there are sufficient visas to meet the needs of seasonal businesses. “The release of these additional visas is welcome news for Maine’s hospitality industry, which desperately needs additional workers to supplement its Maine workforce for the busy summer season that is about to begin,” said Senators Collins and King and Representative Pingree in a joint statement. “After experiencing significant disruptions last year due to the pandemic, Maine’s hospitality industry is now facing an estimated shortage of 16,000 workers that is forcing many employers to cut back parts of their operations and curtail hours when they should be focused on recovering. We strongly pushed to expedite the release of these visas, which will provide support to these seasonal businesses at a critical time and protect the jobs of Mainers who fill year-round positions at these businesses.” H-2B workers support American jobs and small businesses. Bipartisan research has found a direct correlation between increased numbers of H-2B workers and a rise in pay across the board for all employees. As required by law, employers must

first make a concerted effort to hire American workers to fill open positions. H-2B visas fill needs for American small businesses when there are not enough able and willing American workers to fill the temporary, seasonal positions. Starting May 25, eligible employers who have already completed a test of the U.S. labor market to verify that there are no U.S. workers who are willing, qualified, and able to perform the seasonal nonagricultural work can file Form I-129, Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker, to seek additional H-2B workers. They must submit an attestation with their petition to demonstrate their business is likely to suffer irreparable harm without a supplemental workforce.

Maine Home Sales Jump 35.68%; Prices up 17.05% AUGUSTA Highly motivated buyers of single-family existing homes continue to pursue Maine real estate options. Statistics released by Maine Listings show a 35.68% sales leap in April 2021 compared to April 2020. The statewide median sales price (MSP) reached $276,000 — an increase of 17.05% comparing April 2021 to April 2020. The MSP indicates that half of the homes were sold for more and half sold for less. “Maine’s residential real estate market continues to be fast-paced,” says Aaron Bolster, Broker/Owner of Allied Realty in Skowhegan and 2021 President of the Maine Asso-

ciation of REALTORS®, “The April 2021 statistics released today reflect a comparison to one year ago, when the state of Maine was in COVID-19 shutdown status. Last month’s sales volume was strong — 13% above the pre-pandemic April 2019 figures. “As homes come onto the market, buyers are waiting and ready,” added Bolster. “Statewide, the Days on Market for April 2021 was eight days, compared to 25 days one year ago, and 46 days in 2019.” The National Association of Realtors reported strong year-over-year sales of singlefamily existing homes in April. According to NAR, sales were

up 28.9% nationwide, and the national MSP rose 20.3% to reach $347,400 comparing April 2021 to April 2020. Regionally, the Northeast experienced a significant sales boost — a 30.4% volume increase — while the regional MSP increased 22.0% to $381,100 over that same time period. “We expect that improving COVID-19 metrics and back-to-the-office versus telework decisions may help stabilize the market urgency and upward pricing pressures that we’re experiencing. A Realtor® is your best resource to navigate these market conditions, whether you’re selling or buying.”

Newsweek Ranks York Hospital Among Top Five Maternity Hospitals YORK Newsweek recently ranked York Hospital as one of the “Best Maternity Hospitals” in the U.S. and among the top five in Maine. The Leapfrog Group, an independent national watchdog organization committed to health care quality and safety, gleaned the results after collecting and analyzing data provided by over 2,200 hospitals nationwide in their 2020 Leapfrog Hospital Survey. York Hospital achieved this high standard for excellence in maternity care by maintaining low rates of Cesarean sections, early elective deliveries and episiotomies, along with targeted screenings throughout maternity care processes. “I’m both pleased and proud of everyone on our birthing care team for passionately providing progressive and collaborative care for our patients, always keeping safety measures at the forefront, while working toward the best birthing experience possible for our mothers and their partners,” offered Director of Family Care & Education, Melody Narramore, MSN, RN, NPD-BC. York Hospital’s Miracles Family Birthing Center provides a full array of obstetric services: antepartum testing (a variety of tests performed late in pregnancy to verify fetal well-being), labor

and delivery, postpartum and newborn care, as well as inpatient pediatric services. Physicians, experienced nurse midwives and specialized obstetric and pediatric nurses use state-of-the-art technology, such as fetal monitoring surveillance, electronic documentation and medication administration; and provide a safe environment using the HUGS security system. Additionally, York Hospital’s newborn telemedicine partnership with Massachusetts General Hospital offers patients comprehensive and immediate access to world-renowned experts in neonatal medicine. The center is designated a Baby-Friendly© site, where lactation specialists are always available to assist breastfeeding mothers; and the “Centering Program” has now become an integral service offered by the birthing staff. This innovative, evidence-based model of group care, combines health assessment, interactive learning and community to deliver optimal health care to our expectant mothers, and has maintained its member participation throughout the pandemic with the use of Zoom meetings.

Cpt. Barnes Community Service Award SOUTHERN MAINE Ellsworth Fire Captain Robert (Bobby) Dorr has been named the winner of the 2021 Captain Joel Barnes Community Service Award. Dorr becomes the second recipient of the award, which was created in honor of heroic Berwick Fire Captain Joel Barnes, who lost his life in the line of duty in March of 2019. The Mariners began accepting nominations last fall for the second annual award winner, seeking active or recently retired Fire and EMS responders in the state of Maine with three or more years of service, who “demonstrate outstanding professionalism and service to their community, and a commitment to promoting life safety education.” A committee made up of Mariners employees, Teamsters Local 340, and last year’s award winner, Matt St. Pierre of

the Hampden Fire Department, narrowed it down to three finalists: Bobby Dorr, Mike Norton (South Portland Professional Firefighters), and Troy Cailler (Sabattus Fire Department). Dorr is a member of the Ellsworth Professional Firefighters IAFF Local 3402, where he is the lead instructor for the Hancock County Fire Academy. In January of 2020, Dorr was diagnosed with cancer, but continues to serve as interim assistant

Portside Real Estate Group Expands Seacoast Office SEACOAST Portside Real Estate Group is pleased to welcome licensed real estate agents Cindy McKenna and Diane Lamprey to its growing team serving Seacoast Maine and New Hampshire. Founded in 2012 by principal and owner Dava Davin, Portside Real Estate Group is the top woman-owned, locally-run real estate firm in the state of Maine and ranks #2 in volume sold for Independent Agencies in Northern New England (ME, NH, VT). Portside has set the pace as one of Maine’s fastest-growing real estate firms for the past two years, and has set its sights on New Hampshire with the opening of its first N.H. office at 155 Fleet Street in Portsmouth earlier this year. “I’m excited to welcome Cindy and Diane to the Portside family and look forward to seeing their contributions to the Seacoast region,” said Dava

Davin, Principal and Owner of Portside Real Estate Group. “Both Cindy and Diane embody Portside’s values of client service, commitment to excellence and community service.” Cindy McKenna, of York, joins Portside Real Estate Group as an Associate Broker. Originally from Boston, McKenna has been a licensed realtor in Maine for 17 years and passionately supports her local community by serving as a member of the York County Council of Realtors Community Service Committee

and with the York Rotary. Diane Lamprey, of York, joins Portside Real Estate Group as an Associate Broker. Lamprey has been serving real estate clients in New Hampshire and Maine for the past four years, following a 20-plus year career as a sales account manager for a Fortune 500 company. A longtime southern Maine resident, Lamprey has owned several homes and investment properties in the Seacoast area and has a great understanding of what makes the region so unique.

chief. His diagnosis inspired the creation of the “FireFIGHTer 204” fundraiser, which intends to purchase particulate flash hoods for firefighters in Hancock County and beyond. Dorr has also been named Ellsworth Fire Department’s “Firefighter of the Year” three times. “I am honored to have been nominated and selected to receive the 2021 Captain Joel Barnes award,” said Dorr. “To be held in the same category as such a great man is very hum-

bling for me. I will do my very best to continue to earn this award throughout my career.” The Mariners plan to formally present Dorr with the award at a home game in the fall, recognizing all three finalists. “It is important for our organization to continue recognizing local first responders and keeping the memory of Captain Barnes alive,” said Adam Goldberg, Mariners Vice President of Business Operations. “All of the

award submissions highlighted amazing people that deserve recognition. Mr. Dorr is someone that makes the community proud and safe. I look forward to giving him proper recognition at an upcoming Mariners game as the 2nd winner of this community service award.” Captain Joel Barnes was just 32 years old when he succumbed to his injuries on March 1, 2019 after fighting a fire in Berwick, and saving the life of a fellow firefighter.

~ News ~ First Place Winners in WOCSD Writing Contest WELLS The 35th Annual Literary Achievement Awards writing contest in the Wells-Ogunquit Community School District continued on into 2021 despite limitations placed on it from an ongoing pandemic. In February, 245 kindergarten through 12th-grade students were able to write and submit their writing to the contest electronically. Following a social distanced judging process, 58 of the students placed in the contest. Their names were announced in late April. This year, the top prize of $500 went to Wells High School senior Natalie Hanagan who came in first in the 12th-grade category with her entry titled, “Death of a Cat: A Small Account of Departure and Acceptance”. Other first-place winners included Kellan Burnell (kindergarten), Bradley Martin (Grade 1), Maya Roche (Grade 2), Alex Vaillancourt (Grade 3), Diane Marquis (Grade 4), Deanna

Ferris (Grade 5), Saoirse Carrigan (Grade 6), Ainslie Donovan (Grade 7), Pieper Shead (Grade 8), Sam Coleman (Grade 9), Willa Ferris (Grade 10), and Andrew Mott (Grade 11). As with 2020, this year presented unique challenges for contest organizers. For example, judges could not meet in person to read and deliberate over entries. And, for the second year, the popular April stage ceremony capping off the event

with students reading from their work, the awarding of prizes, a group photo, and later, a cablecast of the event was not possible. Instead, monetary prizes and gift certificates were mailed to kindergarten through fourthgrade students. Grades 5-12 students received their awards in school. And this year, following the retirement of long-time Literary Achievement co-chair Marianne Foley, Wells Elementary School 4th-grade teachers Pamela Lear and Alison Clark joined Reg Bennett as contest co-chairs. Due to the challenges, including social distancing, Lear and Clark, with technical assistance from the District’s Director of Technology Michael Richards, implemented an innovative plan to go fully digital thereby eliminating faceto-face meetings and the use and handling of paper by students, teachers, and judges by steering the contest to a fully online procedure. The two-level judging process consisted of volunteer

school staff reading and scoring anonymous entries found in a digital folder downloaded from a centralized email account set up by Richards. Then deliberations among the judges was done online. “We went digital this year. Although we had speed bumps along the way it actually went pretty well,” said Lear in a Zoom interview. Clark added, “It was a ton of work. We spent a ton of hours going digital but I think it will be better moving forward. And I think it was the right thing to do with all the kids and moving towards more tech savvy.”

The Literary Achievement Awards was established in the WOCSD in 1986 and has had numerous sponsors over the years. This year it was sponsored by the Wells-Ogunquit CSD, the Rotary Club of Wells, and Las Olas Taqueria in Wells. The top winners at each grade level (with the exception of Grade 12) receive $100. Second place receives $50 and third place receives $25. This year honorable mentions received $25 gift certificates to Las Olas Taqueria. All the names of the winners in this contest and several entries can be read by visiting: www. k12wocsd.net/literary-awards.

People and Business Profiles

Walker New Market Manager for Partners Bank York Branch YORK Partners Bank is pleased to announce the hiring of its new market manager of the York Branch, bringing on Eric Walker to fill the role. Walker has an extensive career in the financial industry, beginning in 2000 when he worked as the branch manager for CitiFinancial in York. He served in that role for 10 years before transitioning to center manager until 2016. Since then, Walker spent time as an assistant manager at One Financial in Rochester, NH, before being brought on as the branch manager for People’s United Bank in York in 2020. “Eric’s vast experience in the banking industry, as well as his knowledge of the York market makes this an exciting hire for us,” Partners Bank President and CEO Blaine Boudreau said. “He has a proven track record for team management, which makes

him a perfect fit for the Partners Bank family.” Walker’s resume includes receiving a team bonus for 15 consecutive months during his time with CitiFinancial due to motivation and effective oversight of his team. He was also responsible for growing a $15 million portfolio consisting of fully secured real estate accounts and personal loans to over $18 million during his time with CitiFinancial.

Hobbins Announces He Will Retire SACO By any measure, Barry J. Hobbins of Saco has had an extraordinary legislative and public service career in the state of Maine and has announced that he will retire at the end of his current term as Maine’s Public Advocate. “Although I have thoroughly enjoyed the challenge of representing Maine’s utility customers for the last few years, I have a strong sense that now is the time,” Hobbins said. “I believe the Office of the Public Advocate has made great strides recently and has done fantastic work. Now I’d like to give the Governor the chance to infuse the office with new energy and dedication, and to build on very solid progress. At age 70, I can honestly say that I’ve given it absolutely everything I had. It’s time for my wife Donna and I to decelerate, after all these years, and to finally savor private life. What an honor and a privilege it has been for me to serve the people of Maine.” A staunch, lifelong and loyal member of the Democratic party, Hobbins was appointed as the Public Advocate by Republican Governor Paul LePage in 2017, an appointment that the Maine Legislature unanimously

confirmed in May of that year. The nomination by a Republican Governor and smooth sailing through the confirmation process was widely viewed as testimony to Hobbins’ long track record as a well-liked and moderate legislator who placed a very high priority on reaching across the aisle and fashioning effective compromises with political opponents. Hobbins said that during his time as Public Advocate, he brought more emphasis to the public service nature of the agency. He believes more people came to understand the role of the OPA and its availability as a resource. Before serving as Public Advocate, Hobbins was an attorney in private practice, and also served a total of 13 terms as a member of both the Maine House of Representatives and the Maine Senate, representing the people of Saco. Hobbins recalls, at the very start of his legislative career, supporting the original bill that created the Saco River Corridor Commission in 1974, a measure that protected the entire length of the Saco River from unreasonable development, thus permanently ensuring clean drinking water for tens of thousands of Maine people. He said that bill epitomized the best of

UWYC 2020 Campaign Exceeds Goal, Invests in Programs KENNEBUNK United Way of York County (UWYC) announced the organization projects to raise just over $1.3M for the 2020 community campaign, exceeding its goal. The campaign kicked off the week of September 14, 2020, with a statewide food drive collecting over 37,000 pounds of food and over 26,000 diapers and wipes, setting a record for the state’s largest one-day drive. Other 2020 financial campaign highlights include: With community partners, United Way of York County (UWYC) raised and distributed more than $200,000 through a COVID-19 Relief Fund; Tom’s of Maine doubled its corporate gift, contributing $100,000 through their “Giving For Good” Foundation; UWYC’s Tocqueville Society welcomed three new members; and Longtime partner VELUX

matched employee giving by 100%. “Neighbors across York County came together, even while apart, in support of programs and partnerships that are making a lasting and measurable impact through their United Way of York County contributions. Considering these very challenging times, we are grateful to those companies and individuals throughout York County who were able to support our fundraising efforts this past year,” said UWYC President and CEO Brian Petrovek. In addition to financial highlights from the campaign, the York County community rose to support one another in other tangible and heartfelt ways. In addition to pivoting to a largely digital workplace toolkit and campaign, UWYC staff and volunteers organized a holi-

day turkey drive that distributed over 100 turkeys to local families in need, conducted a winter coat drive that collected over 1,000 coats, delivered 5,000 masks for local frontline workers, and distributed over 1,500 teddy bears from UNE’s Annual Teddy Bear Toss to partners and their clients across York County. Strategic investments were made to 59 programs from 39 organizations that advance strategic priority areas of Bright Beginnings (to support lifelong learning and student success), Connected Youth (engaging and connecting our youth with our community) and Supportive Services (investing in services to build community capacity).

Piscataqua Landscaping & Tree Service Acquires Community Landscape Company ELIOT Piscataqua Landscaping & Tree Service announced the acquisition of Community Landscape Company based in Wolfeboro, NH. Phil Borelli, previous owner of Community Landscape, said, “Piscataqua Landscaping and Tree Service is a quality organization and believes in all the same things that I do: long-term relationships, depth of resources and support for their employees, quality service, and care for their customers. Our phone numbers

remain the same, our location remains the same and our philosophy remains the same.” Community Landscape Company will turn over all of its staff to Piscataqua Landscap-

what government can achieve when it functions well. There would be many other significant legislative achievements in subsequent decades, and Hobbins reflected on his participation, often in a pivotal role. Hobbins said that when he

finishes his service as Public Advocate, he will remain available to Governor Mills as an informal advisor until her nominee to replace him is confirmed. He and his wife Donna have no specific plans for the near future, and will continue to reside in Saco.

Find more information on the UDSNNE and Piscataqua Obedience Club Facebook pages. ...MASKS from page 18 during the unexpected hiatus as a volunteer vaccinator for their COVID-19 Vaccine Clinic in York. A former District 7780 Rotary Club Governor, Ann had been hearing of sizable mask donations made by Rotary Clubs all over New England, and thought that between the COVID-19 Vaccine Clinic at St. Christopher’s Catholic Church, and York Hospital’s many sites, that the hospital might be a worthy candidate for one of these donations. A phone call to Marguerite “Peggy” Belanger, current District 7780 Governor, sealed the deal. Peggy, a retired oncology nurse, explained the origins of the extensive delivery of hospital masks. The idea for the project, known as “The Million Mask Challenge,” was hatched by Ted Rossi, president and CEO of The Rossi Foundation, and active Rotarian, in East Hampton, CT. Last March, when masks were needed so desperately by all frontline health care workers throughout the country, he and his family foundation decided to take the initiative, the Rotary Clubs of all six New England states, along with New York and New Jersey, assisted with the distribution. The Rotary Club’s motto, “Service Above Self,” was called to action. This “delivery tour,” the final of three between spring 2020 and 2021, saw 164,000 adult, children’s and N-95 masks provided to various health care locations in Portsmouth, New Hampshire and York, Wells, Portland and Brunswick, Maine. Additionally, Maine’s three Rotary Club districts supported many Mainesponsored Emergency Management Systems (EMS) COVID-19 Vaccine Clinics for first respond-

Safe Haven Humane Society WELLS Pinky is a lovely, grey and white beauty with a pink nose who sports eyebrow whiskers that look like flower bursts. In many ways, Pinky is like a blooming flower. After lots of love and gentle coaxing, she has reached her peak blossom. She’s ripe for picking. She has shown us clearly that she is ready to be adopted by a loving (and very lucky) family. Pinky was shy at first, but not any more. She has made remarkable strides in socializing. She has bloomed into a happy, playful kitty. She’s made our volunteer team at the Cattail Farmhouse smile with satisfaction, knowing Pinky has found herself and is confident. Pinky is a beautiful, sweet kitty who truly craves a person to call her own. She would be happiest in a home where she will receive all the attention she craves. Like any new kitty, Pinky will need a little time

to familiarize herself and get comfortable in her new home. Therefore, you’ll need patience. A household with a cat-experienced couple or person regular routine that’s not too hectic would be best for her. Pinky will continue to bloom in a home with folks who will enjoy being a part of her growth. Older cat-loving children might also be delightful for her. Please call Nancy at 207-229-7094 FMI. Please mark your calendars for July 27. Safe Haven is very happy to be selected as one of the area nonprofits to host a Tithing Tuesday at Congdon’s After Dark this summer! We hope you’ll join us for a fun evening and raise money for a good cause. We’re truly grateful that Congdon’s offers this fundraising event.

ers. Approximately $20,000 was donated to purchase iPads for data entry, registration and check-in processes, along with refrigerators required to store the vaccine. Her appreciation evident, Dr. Cutts offered the following: “York Hospital is thrilled to be among the lucky recipients of yet another act of giving by the Rotary Club. We are indeed

fortunate to have community members – and board members – who go above and beyond in their pursuit to support both our caregivers and our community.

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

Holy Communion to the homebound is restored; Indoor choir practices can be held without distancing. For those not yet comfortable with a return to Mass, many churches will provide spaces in other areas, like parish halls, for additional, spread out seating during Masses. The extensive livestreaming schedule at Maine parishes will also remain in place. Moving forward, adjustments to the schedule will be made in the “Parishes and Mass Times” section of www.portlanddiocese.org. The obligation to attend Mass will continue to be dispensed for the foreseeable future. “The strict adherence to state and diocesan guidelines has led to the successful operation

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.

son Paul Grant-Costa of Stonington, CT; sister Barbara Ferron of Fall River, MA; several nieces and nephews; and, much to her chagrin, no grandchildren. Funny, smart, inquisitive, and caring, she was the girl with the bright blue eyes who loved to dance, especially at the Lincoln Park Ballroom in the 1940s. She and her friends even traveled to Providence to swing to Harry James and Glenn Miller. Asked once how she learned to dance, she said you just feel the music inside you. She began work at 16. After trying her hand at box-making at J&J Corrugated, she became a seamstress at a number of local mills, including the Beacon Dress Company and Samesta Manufacturing, until

Thanksgiving Novena to St. Jude O Holy St. Jude, Apostle and Martyr, great in virtue and rich in miracles, near kinsman of Jesus Christ, the faithful intercessor of all who invoke your special patronage in time of need, to you I have recourse from the depth of my heart, and humbly beg to him whom God has given such great power to come to my assistance. Help me in my present and urgent petition. In return I promise to make your name known and cause you to be invoked. (Say three ‘Our Fathers’, three ‘Hail Marys’, and three ‘Glorias’.) St. Jude, pray for us and all who invoke your aid. Amen. This novena has never been known to fail. Publication must be promised.

As promised, thank you St. Jude, Charlene

of our churches since last June. I am so grateful for the many staff, volunteers, and parishioners who sacrificed and followed the protocols to ensure that Maine Catholics were able to participate in Mass and receive the Eucharist over the last year,” said Bishop Robert Deeley. “The Catholic Church always works to guide those it encounters to live in harmony and peace. We hope that by continuing to offer a variety of ways to participate in Mass and through updating these protocols, all will feel welcomed to grow in their faith together in Christ.” For more information, contact Dave Guthro, Communications Director for the Diocese of Portland, at dave.guthro@portlanddiocese.org. retiring in 1987. It was at the Beacon where she met our dad, a short man with two left feet. He, nonetheless, swept her off her feet, and they were married in 1950. We came along shortly thereafter. Mom got us ready for school, nursed us through sicknesses, and made us laugh. She taught one of our dogs to walk on its hind legs and another to say “I’m hungry.” Her in-laws, Joseph and Mary Costa, became her second parents, and they cared for each other deeply. In the late 1960s, our parents bought property along Mount Hope Bay in Tiverton, Rhode Island. It was their oasis and the place they built a house that had an expansive view of the water and the most stunning sunsets, a place of warmth and love. After our dad died in 2017, mom moved to Maine, where she lived in a senior living facility. There, she enjoyed going for bus rides, playing bingo and games on her computer, playing the piano, and making puzzles. And making people smile. Madeline remained positive, funny, and inquisitive until the end of her life here on earth. But now it’s time to say goodbye. She is listening to music we do not know and feeling its beat. Our mom with the beautiful blue eyes, now forever closed, is now dancing with the stars. Services will be private and provided by Auclair Funeral Home, 690 South Main Street, Fall River, MA. The family would like to thank the staff and caregivers at Sentry Hill at York Harbor, who have taken such wonderful care of Madeline for the past several years, and especially for providing exceptional care and keeping her safe and loving her every day, especially when we couldn’t be there in person during the past year.

Southern Maine Health Care Nationally Recognized with an ‘A’ YORK COUNTY Southern Maine Health Care (SMHC) received an “A” grade in the spring 2021 Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade, a national distinction recognizing SMHC’s achievements protecting patients from errors, injuries, accidents, and infections. “The dedication of our teams to patient safety and quality, even in the most challenging of times in healthcare is impressive, said Nathan Howell, SMHC President. “SMHC care teams work daily to back up our promise to provide the best possible health care to the communities we serve.” The Leapfrog Group is an independent national watchdog organization committed to health care quality and safety. The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade assigns an “A,” “B,” “C,” “D,” or “F” grade to all general hospitals across the country and is updated every six months. It is

the only hospital ratings program based exclusively on hospitals’ prevention of medical errors and other harms to patients in their care. “An ‘A’ safety grade is an elite designation that your community should be proud of,” said Leah Binder, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group. “The past year has been extraordinarily difficult for hospitals, but Southern Maine Health Care shows us it is possible to keep a laser focus on patients and their safety, no matter what it takes.” Developed under the guidance of a national Expert Panel, the Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade uses up to 27 measures of publicly available hospital safety data to assign grades to more than 2,700 U.S. acute-care hospitals twice per year. The Hospital Safety Grade’s methodology is peer-reviewed and fully transparent, and the results are free to the public.

Maine Masons Expand Financial Assistance to Maine Communities STATEWIDE Maine Masonic Charitable Foundation has announced a new matching grants initiative called ‘MAC-Masons Assisting Communities’. In partnership with the 177 Masonic Lodges in Maine, the Foundation has expanded their Community Focused Matching Grants Program, providing additional support to eligible local organizations and nonprofits statewide over the next year. ‘MAC-Masons Assisting Communities’ is off to a strong start with a soft launch in the 1st Quarter of 2021 that provided over $51,000 in grants to local nonprofits and towns where it was needed most. In 2020, the Maine Masonic Charitable Foundation issued 225 grants totaling over $350,000. These matching grants combined with the Foundation’s direct grants to nonprofits, put Masonic community support at just over a half a million dollars last year and that doesn’t include the 10,000 plus hours of volunteer time given byMaine Masons every year. Maine Masons have always been committed to helping local community organizations accomplish their goals – whether that is an extra set of hands to employ their time and talents or a form of

financial support. With funding from the Maine Masonic Charitable Foundation, Maine Masons encourage students to read with ‘Bikes for Books’, a program that works with local schools and libraries; Maine Masons helped launch the “Inclusion Revolution- Unified Champions Club” program through a partnership with the Alfond Youth and Community Center and Special Olympics Maine, Maine Masons contribute to MS research by sponsoring the Bike MS®: Great Maine Getaway; Maine Masons support suicide prevention training through their work with NAMI Maine and Maine Masons aim to help end violence against women through their support of Maine Boys to Men, via the statewide rollout of their Train-the-Trainer program. The new ‘MAC-Masons Assisting Communities’ initiative, empowers Maine Masons to do even more this year in partnership with organizations and nonprofits in their communities. The Foundation is raising awareness of the expanded matching grants program through the new ‘MAC’ initiative and is encouraging all community organizations and nonprofits that would like assistance to contact their local

Kennebunk Savings Named “Recovery Friendly Workplace” KENNEBUNK Kennebunk Savings is following through on years of work researching and funding substance use disorder prevention and recovery efforts by participating in New Hampshire’s Recovery Friendly Workplace (RFW) initiative. RFWs encourage employees, employers and communities to collaborate by creating positive change and eliminating barriers for those impacted by substance use disorder. “Helping our communities thrive is what we do,” said Bradford C. Paige, the bank’s President and CEO. “Sometimes that means helping a young couple buy their first home. Sometimes that means providing meals for food-insecure school children on the weekends. And for the last three years, it has also meant contributing $375,000 to support substance use disorder prevention and recovery programming in our communities. Taking this step now to become a Recovery Friendly Workplace represents

another active and meaningful commitment to prevention and recovery efforts to benefit our employees, their families, our customers and our communities.” The RFW initiative provides guidance to help employers support healthy lifestyle choices. It provides resources to make it easier for employees who are both directly and indirectly impacted by substance use disorder to access support and recovery services, and it encourages the use of non-stigmatizing and inclusive language. Kennebunk Savings is rolling out these resources and training opportunities now. In 2020, in addition to their charitable giving, the bank began sharing resources on social media and their website aimed at community education on subjects like the negative impact of stigmatizing language on health outcomes, social determinants of health, and trauma informed care. In 2019, the bank began distributing Deterra bags, which safely

We want to do everything we can to support them and their loved ones.”

Bicycle Coalition of Maine Announces New Cycling Events for 2021 PORTLAND The Bicycle Coalition of Maine (BCM) has announced three new cycling events to take place in 2021, including a women’s ride, a gravel grind, and an abbreviated version of their signature BikeMaine event. “These rides are being built from the ground up with health and safety as the number one priority,” says Bicycle Coalition of Maine Events Director Will Elting. “They will mix some memorable elements of the classic BikeMaine experience into smaller-sized events, while also offering a huge range of opportunities for riders of all kinds throughout the state.” The three events — all of which fall under the new “BikeMaine Rides” umbrella — will be the Women’s Ride, the BikeMaine Weekend, and the Maine Woods Rambler. Registration for all three events opened in April. The BikeMaine Women’s Ride is a reimagined version of the annual event that was held in Freeport until 2018. Instead of one big ride, the new version will feature multiple small, socially distanced rides hosted by local clubs, shops, and other organi-

zations throughout Maine — all of which will be led by women on the same day: Saturday, June 5. “This new design will provide an opportunity for all selfidentifying women — including trans, femme/feminine-identifying genderqueer, and nonbinary individuals — to gather, celebrate, and support each other while riding,” says BCM Event Coordinator Emily Lozeau. “It will also allow us to cater to different confidence levels, geographic areas, and both on- and off-road riding, as the hosts can choose what type of ride they will offer in their area.” The BikeMaine Weekend is a two-day version of the BCM’s

signature, weeklong BikeMaine event that is traditionally held in a different part of the state each year and features overnight stays in multiple Maine towns connected by 55-mile daily cycling routes. The event, which included 450 rides and more than 70 volunteers, was canceled in 2020 due to the pandemic. The 2021 version will take place from September 11-12 in Machias, and offers three different ride lengths — 10 miles, 35 miles, and 65-75 miles — all of which showcase the breathtaking scenery of Maine’s Bold Coast. The third event is the return of the Maine Woods Rambler, a single-day gravel-grind event

Maine ATV Trails STATEWIDE An amazing network of trails makes it possible for ATV riders to travel throughout much of Maine. Trails include multi-use and multi-use rail trails through scenic recreation and wildlife areas. Be on the lookout for other trail users and wildlife on the trail.

Several state-owned or leased abandoned rail beds are available for multiple-use, including three-season ATV use including Aroostook Valley Trail, Bangor and Aroostook Trail, Down East Sunrise Trail,

that was introduced by the BCM in 2019 and held in Greenville. After a year off, the ride will return on September 26, with the ride’s new partner and location to be announced at a later date. “All three of these events will have far fewer spots than the classic BikeMaine, so we encourage riders to stay tuned for updates and sign up as soon as registration opens in April,” Elting says. More information about each event and details of COVID-19 safety protocols will be available via www.bikemaine. org/events as planning progresses. For more information, visit bikemaine.org.
