for people to come browse, sit on the porch, and have a cup of tea. With such a beautiful piece of property, she wants to bring it to its full potential. Her journey in building the barn wasn’t an easy one but “a labor of love.” She had an excellent contractor and a very good crew of electricians and plumbers to finish the job. Her brother, Chuck, also helped and continues to do so. Christine calls him “my hero who was with me every step of the way.” Chuck’s varied help includes making the sign that you see above the main door that says, “Dreams Do Come True.”

eries every day! “I don’t know how we did it, but with the help from up above, we got it done,” said Christine. Looking back, Christine reminisced about picking flowers out of several of the neighbors gardens when she was four years old. As an adult, she enrolled in Design School in Boston which led her to Wallingford Farms in Kennebunk. This provided very good training for her to eventually go out on her own. Today, Christine now designs and makes all her own arrangements, and orders flowers from all over the world. About building the new barn she said, “It was a long road, but it was a long road worth traveling!” She’s very happy with the entire outcome, and adds that “the support from the people in this community throughout this whole process has been truly outstanding” – but it doesn’t surprise her because she was born and raised in Wells. “It always humbles me and reminds me of the benefits of being from a small town where everybody knows everybody and really cares!” This experience has also brought home the fact that achieving a dream means lots of sacrifices and hard work, but is also quite rewarding in the end. She said, “My life’s work fulfills me tremendously!”
CAPE PORPOISE Although other LAUNCH! activities have been cancelled for this year, the Kennebunk-Kennebunkport-Arundel Chamber of Commerces will host the traditional Blessing of the Fleet on Sunday, June 21 at 11:30 a.m. The blessing, officiated by the Rev. Andrew D’Angio-White of St. David’s Church, has been the maritime festival’s most poignant moment – an anchor event that can be modified and continued during this week when all other activities have been canceled due to coronavirus concerns and restrictions. The blessing of the fleet will take place at the Cape Propoise Harbor Pier, rain or shine. The service, held in remembrance of Captain Arnold “Joe” Nickerson IV who was lost at sea earlier this year, is open to all via Facebook live (Go Kennebunks Chamber page) and to the first 50 folks to register via www.gokennebunks. com. Due to COVID-19, all attendees are asked to please wear a mask and respect a six-foot distance between guests at the service.

Heartfelt Goodbyes to Principal Maureen Goering ELIOT Teachers, students and parents gave an emotional send-off to Principal Maureen (Mo) Goering this past Monday during a drive-through celebration at Eliot Elementary. Wanting to spend more time with her family, Goering had decided to retire in 2020 after being principal since 2008. The send-off was pre-planned and a complete surprise as teachers waiting in line suddenly switched signs saying goodbye as she and her hus-
band drove by in the procession. Though celebratory in nature, the event left everyone overcome with emotion.

Guidance Released for Town Meetings and Elections
AUGUSTA The Mills Administration released detailed guidance for Maine local governing bodies to hold gatherings, such as annual town meetings, school budget meetings, and elections, during the COVID-19 pandemic. The
guidance, which takes the form of a COVID-19 Prevention Checklist, was developed in close collaboration with public health officials, the Department of the Secretary of State, the Maine Municipal Association and other relevant associations

and individuals. “Maine people value and cherish the opportunity to gather and share our opinions, debate vigorously and vote on matters that affect our lives, a tradition that is at the heart of democracy,” said Governor Mills. “Unfortunately, this virus, which thrives indoors with crowds of people, makes gatherings like these potentially dangerous. This guidance, developed in close collaboration with the Secretary of State and local leaders, will preserve the ability of people to express their opinions while protecting the health and safety of Maine people.” The guidance issued Monday complements a recent

Executive Order signed by Governor Mills that gives communities greater flexibility in conducting election and budget processes during the time of the COVID-19 pandemic. Under Stage 2 of the Administration’s Restarting Maine’s Economy Plan, gatherings of up to 50 individuals are permitted. For those official meetings that may surpass 50 people, this guidance recommends that planners conduct public meetings in various ways, including allowing “drive-in” meeting formats or by separating citizens into smaller groups within various areas of a single facility. In addition, towns may also convert town meetings to referenda and/or secret ballot voting on July 14 or another date, per COVID-19 prevention guidance on elections published by the Maine Department of the Secretary of State. Under its guidance, the Secretary of State advises voters to allow additional time to complete the voting process, as wait times are expected to be longer than usual due to capacity limits, social distancing and sanitization measures at the polling site. These measures include sanitizing voting equipment, such as pens, the placement of barriers where physical distancing is not manageable and managing capacity to ensure fewer than 50 people are inside at one time. “Your polling place is going to look a bit different for this election, as clerks implement hygiene and distancing procedures to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus,” said Secretary of State
Matthew Dunlap. “If you usually budget only a few minutes to stop in and vote, you’ll need to plan on a longer wait this year, just like you do for the grocery store or other shops. One way to cut your wait time and your exposure is to take care of registering to vote ahead of time, with your municipal clerk.” Poll workers will wear cloth face coverings and other personal protective equipment to protect public health while voting, and voters are also encouraged to do so. Those uncomfortable to attend is welcome to vote by absentee ballot.

~ News ~ York River Federally Designated AUGUSTA The Maine State Senate gave unanimous approval to a Joint Resolution, sponsored by Rep. Lydia Blume, D-York, and co-sponsored by Sen. Mark Lawrence, D-Eliot, and Reps. Patty Hymanson, D-York, Michele Meyer, D-Eliot, Tiffany Roberts, D-South Berwick, and Deane Rykerson, D-Kittery, which supports federal designation of the York River as a part of the National Wild and Scenic River System. The measure was
passed by the Maine House in March. Inclusion of the York River in the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System requires the approval of Congress and will give the communities along the waterway access to federal financial and technical assistance to preserve it in its natural state. The Joint Order states the Legislature’s official support for Congress granting the York River and its tributaries status as part of the national system.
...OPENING from page 1 must remain at least 6 feet apart; For contact tracing purposes, records of customers are maintained, including one customer name and contact information per party and the server of the table; dining room tables will be spaced at least 6 feet apart; The total number of people any one time should be no more than 50 people per room and each party must be 6 feet apart from other parties and also applies to outdoor seating areas; Bar areas within restaurants must close at the same time the kitchen closes for dining patrons; Salad bar buffets are suspended at this time as well as minimized self-service areas such as drink stations; Use of disposable napkins and table covers instead of cloth linens. If cloth linens are used, they will be changed between customers; Children need to remain seated with their party with no play areas or shared toys and single use crayons only. This week’s announcements also included expanding capacity limits at retail establishments, allowing up to 5 customers per 1,000 square feet, given the decreasing risk associated
with retail shopping and the assumption that stores will continue to require staff to wear cloth face coverings and follow strict public health precautions. This change replaces the customer limits established in a previous Executive Order. In addition to that, the Mills Administration is allowing gyms, tattoo parlors and nail salons to also re-open in York, Cumberland and Androscoggin counties with the added health and safety precautions required by the COVID-19 Prevention Checklists. Lastly, the Administration also announced that it has accelerated the first day that lodging establishments in Maine can begin serving out-of-state visitors who meet either the 14-day quarantine requirement or the state’s new testing alternative. Lodging establishments may now begin serving these individuals on Friday, June 26 rather than Wednesday, July 1 (Stage 3). Accelerating the start date will help lodging establishments safely serve visitors during a key weekend of Maine’s tourism season leading up to the July 4 holiday.
Kittery Rotary Club Awards Paul Harris Fellow KITTERY The Rotary Club of Kittery is proud to announce that the Lombardi family of Kittery has been awarded a Paul Harris Fellow. The presentation was made during the Club’s June 2 virtual meeting. Eric Waddell, President of the Rotary Club of Kittery, noted the Lombardi family’s commitment to the community and to the ideals of Rotary in his remarks. “We have the honor and pleasure of recognizing the Lombardi family as they become Paul Harris Fellows. The Lombardi family was designated to receive this recognition as a special expression of appreciation from the Rotary Club of Kittery,” stated Waddell. George and Carol Lombardi, along with their three children, have been great supporters of Rotary over the years. They have hosted Rotary Youth Exchange Students, and two of the Lombardi children, Michael and Mary, have participated as Rotary Youth Exchange students in Japan and Italy respectively. Most recently, the Club was moved by Carol’s and Mary’s efforts to make face masks and give them away to anyone in their neighborhood. “The ideals of good will, peace, and understanding are the cornerstones of Rotary. They are
ideals held high by Rotarians the world over, and ones that George, Carol, Joe, Michael, and Mary clearly share. Working with such individuals of good will, we believe the ideal will become a reality,” explained President Waddell. The family will be presented with a certificate, pin, and medallion to mark their designa-
tion as Paul Harris Fellows. In addition, a book will be placed in one of the Kittery libraries in their honor. The Rotary Club of Kittery meets every Tuesday at 7:30 a.m. The Club welcomes guests, and they look forward to resuming onsite meetings at some point in the future.

Due to COVID-19 things may be structured a bit differently, but the goal remains the same: to present high quality visual art in a beautiful historic setting. “This is a special year, in many ways,” says gallery curator Mary Harding. “Hard to believe, but this is our 25th anniversary and we can’t wait to get underway.” The opening exhibitions feature the work of four area artists: Tom Glover, Douglas Prince, Brian Chu and ShaioPing Wang. It is fitting to begin the 25th anniversary season with a solo exhibition by Tom Glover who, in all these years, has not wavered from his commitment to painting. Like his teacher and mentor John Laurent, Glover alternates between abstraction and realism. His choice of imagery is in response to travel abroad, the study of past great artists, artist residencies and his exploration of New England seashores and forests. Portsmouth artist Douglas Prince’s most recent project is called Auction Sites. Prince
recalls, “It originated in 1980 when I came across some Sotheby’s auction catalogs in an English bookstore in Rome. I was attracted to the elegance of the pieces and in the history they suggested...” By combining appropriated images and his own photography, he introduces a natural landscape inside the form of the furniture which amplifies the play between the two and three-dimensional spaces. “Resonance” is the title of the show that brings together a team in life and art: husband and wife, Brian Chu and Shaio-Ping Wang. Influenced by New York School painters, Chu and Wang developed their own painting language: Chu’s paintings represent landscapes and observations; Wang creates abstract environments of colors, forms and patterns. They have augmented their life-long pursuit of painting with travel and teaching. The exhibition season will continue through year end, with the exhibitions changing every six weeks. For now, to manage the number of people in the gallery, visitation will be by appointment and important health protocols will be in place. Appointments may be made on www. georgemarshallstoregallery.com and by calling 207-351-1083.

~ Ask The Computer Lady ~ Dear Computer Lady, Is there a good free unzip program for Windows 10? Linda Dear Linda, Yes there is, and you don’t have to install anything to use it. Windows 10 comes with the ability to zip and unzip files. If you have a zipped file on your computer, just right-click on the file, then click “Extract All” in the context menu that appears. Your computer will display a dialog that will allow you to extract the files to your desired location. If you want to extract only some of the files, just double click on the zipped file. Windows 10 will display the contents and you can just drag the file to your desired location to extract that file from the zipped folder. If you have a file, or folder containing multiple files that you want to compress (or zip) into a single file, just rightclick on that file or folder, hover your cursor over, “Send To” and then click on “Compressed (zipped) folder” Windows will create a compressed (or zipped) file containing all the files in the original folder. This makes the size smaller, and combines it into one file to make it easier for sending as an email attachment, or storing on a smaller disk. Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, We stream Netflix through our computer with Windows, and, the sound only comes from the computer. How can we make it come through the TV? We are using an HDMI cable between the two. Diane
select the sound output in the control panel. Here is how. 1. Click on the start button, and type “Control Panel” in the search box, click on the Control Panel icon. 2. In the Control Panel, click on “Hardware and Sound”, then click on, “Manage Audio Devices”. 3. In the dialog box that opens, make sure the playback tab is selected. 4. You will see a list of audio devices, your HDMI connection will be listed. Click on your HDMI connection, then click the “Set Default” button, and click “OK”. 5. Your sound should now come through your TV, and to change it back to your speakers, just follow the above directions and change your speakers to default. Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, I recently bought an HP Notebook with of course Windows 10. I was told by the salesperson that I could not load and use the Office Home & Student 2013 with Word. She said that the only way I can get Word is to pay 69 dollars a year. When I got home, I decided I was going to try it anyway. The version I have is supposed to be like a lifetime purchase that I don’t have to renew. All I need it for is to use for writing purposes so I can send documents to people and they should be able to open them. I was amazed that the download worked. About an hour later, I was “offered” an upgrade by the company, and I declined. How long do you
think I might be able to use the 2013 version without upgrading to the newer version, where I would have to pay each year? Or is there a program out there that is Word compatible either for free or very little one-time fee? Thank you, Mary Lou Dear Mary Lou, While I am not sure how long your Office 2013 will work, it should continue to work with your Windows 10 computer as long as you stay with your current version of Windows. I can’t say if it will work with future versions of Windows. The salesperson is not right about your options for a new version of Word. While you can purchase a yearly subscription, you can also purchase a lifetime version of Office 2016, and possibly 2019, just like you did with the 2013. Eventually, Microsoft will only offer Office through it’s yearly subscription plan and in that case, you can always switch to an open source version of Office such as LibreOffice at www.libreoffice.org. Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, In making tutorials I sometimes need to put arrows pointing to several different objects. The only way I know to do this is from the shapes menu, to click on the arrow and paste it. After you click and use the arrow in one place, to get an arrow in another place on the same item, I have to go back to the shapes menu and click the arrow again. To put in the third arrow I have to do the same thing all over
Dear Diane, If your computer has external speakers plugged in, just unplugging the speakers will probably switch the sound to the TV. If that doesn’t work (I always like to start with the simple solution first) you can
again. I asked Google how to load the clipboard so as to insert one item multiple times, but what I get from Google is how to insert multiple items one at a time. Would you please tell me how to load the clipboard in order to paste one single item multiple times? Thank you very, very much. Kleo Dear Kleo, I am not sure what program you are using to put your shape in place, but since you are using your shapes menu in that program to place the arrow, you are not copying it onto the clipboard, just inserting it from the menu. If you want to paste the same shape several times, try this method. After inserting
WS
your first arrow in the method described above, highlight that arrow on your document and copy it. You can use either “Edit” and “Copy” in the menu, or the Ctrl + C keyboard combination. Once your arrow has been copied to the clipboard, you can paste it as many times as you want. It will remain on your clipboard until you copy something different. You can paste the arrow using either the “Edit, Paste” menu or the “Ctrl + V” keyboard combination. Elizabeth Interested in learning more?

BUSINESS & FINANCE PPP Improvements Heads to Desk for Signature
WASHINGTON, DC The U.S. Senate passed H.R.7010, the Paycheck Protection Flexibility Act, which mirrors the bipartisan bill introduced on May 21. U.S. Senators Angus King (I-ME) and Steve Daines (R-MT) – and will make vital changes to the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) so it can better support small businesses. The legislation will make key adjustments to the PPP to help small businesses through the coronavirus pandemic, including extending new loans over a longer period of time and allowing for added flexibility in how businesses can spend their PPP funds. The bill passed the House of Representatives last week by an overwhelming 417-1 tally, and now heads to the President’s desk to be signed into law. “The coronavirus pandemic has done unprecedented, unmitigated harm to businesses across Maine, and we
need to do everything we can to help make sure they can weather this storm and come out the other side,” said Senator King. “The Paycheck Protection Program has been a valuable source of federal support for local institutions – but talking to business owners trying to navigate the loans’ requirements, it’s clear we can be doing better. This bill will serve as a ‘mid-course correction’ by loosening restrictions on small businesses that are already facing enough challenges, and giving business owners the flexibility they need to make decisions that best fit their unique circumstances. I’m grateful that Congress moved so quickly to provide real relief, at a moment when local businesses truly need it.” Specifically, the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act legislation will: Allow forgiveness for expenses beyond the eight-week covered period. The eight-week timeline does not work for local
businesses that are prohibited from opening their doors, or those that will only be allowed to open with restrictions. Businesses need the flexibility to spread the loan proceeds over the full course of the crisis until demand returns. Otherwise, employees will simply be furloughed at the expiration of the eight weeks. This provision will allow the businesses that already have PPP loans to choose between using their loans in the initialeight weeks or extending the period for up to 24 weeks; Reduce restrictions limiting non-payroll expenses to 25% of loan proceeds. In order to survive, businesses must pay fixed costs. The SBA requires PPP loan recipients to use 75% of their loan in order to qualify for loan forgiveness. For many businesses, payroll simply does not represent 75% of their monthly expenses and 25% does not leave enough to cover mortgage, rent, and utilities. Retaining employees is not possible if a business
cannot retain their physical location. Under the version of the legislation passed by the House, up to 40% of PPP funds could go to non-payroll expenses; Eliminate restrictions in new loans that limit loan terms to two years. According to the American Hotel and Lodging Association, full recovery for that industry following both the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and the 2008 recession took more than two full years. This is the same for many other industries. If the past is any indication of the future, it will take many businesses more than two years to achieve sufficient revenue to pay back a PPP loan if they do not achieve full forgiveness; Ensure full access to payroll tax deferment for businesses that take PPP loans. The purpose of both the PPP and the payroll tax deferment provision included in
the CARES Act was to provide businesses with capital to weather the crisis. Receiving both should not be considered double-dipping. Businesses need access to both sources of cash flow to survive; Extend the rehiring deadline to offset the effect of enhanced Unemployment Insurance. To receive loan forgiveness under PPP, a business must rehire employees by a deadline of June 30. The enhanced Unemployment Insurance created through the CARES Act is higher than the median wage in 44 states. Many businesses have reported an inability to rehire employees because they are making more on Unemployment than they made working. To mitigate this unintended consequence, the bill extends the deadline to rehire employees under PPP.
$800 Million Economic Recovery Plan
Here forforyou asalways... always... Here younow, now, as
PORTLAND Saddled with financial devastation from the coronavirus coupled with cumbersome reopening restrictions, Maine’s hospitality, tourism and retail organizations have banded together to ask Gov. Mills to allocate $800,000,000 to rehabilitate small businesses in Maine’s chief sectors. Last Friday, the Maine Hospitality and Tourism Alliance launched the Maine Hospitality, Tourism & Retail Recovery Plan. This multi-phased relief proposal allots Emergency Action Grants to affected small businesses across the state so they can keep their doors open and pay basic operating costs including rent, mortgage and payroll. The plan, created by Hos-
pitalityMaine, Maine Tourism Association and the Retail Association of Maine, provides employee support for childcare and transportation. It also increases funding for tourism promotion, workforce development and disadvantaged business startups and offers technical assistance for hotels and restaurants to rebuild and retool in the new COVID economy. “Due to the devastation the state’s restrictions are causing, this emergency funding is crucial for business survival,” said Steve Hewins, CEO of HospitalityMaine. “Maine’s hospitality industry is stepping up and acting quickly to help our inns and restaurants in this emergency so they can thrive in the future.” See PLAN page 13...

BUSINESS & FINANCE MaineHousing Extend Rent Relief Program AUGUSTA Governor Janet Mills and MaineHousing announced today an extension of the COVID-19 Rent Relief Program. The rental assistance program, established in April, allows households that meet certain income and ability to pay requirements to receive a one-time, up to $500 payment in rental assistance to be paid directly to their landlord. With the extension, the program now covers rent for the months of April, May or June. “This program has helped provide a small measure of relief to thousands of Maine renters and their landlords,” said Governor Janet Mills. “As people across the state continue to feel the impact of COVID-19, we hope
it will continue to help more.” “We know that COVID19 has highlighted the significant range of Mainers’ housing challenges,” said Daniel Brennan, Director of MaineHousing. “We’re happy to continue providing support to those who need it most.” Since its creation in April, the program has served more than 5,200 Maine households in April and May with 2,800 applications still in process. Each household that meets certain income and ability to pay requirements may receive a one-time, up to $500 payment in rental assistance paid directly to their landlord. When a landlord accepts payment, they agree not to evict the tenant for nonpayment for the month the payment was issued. MaineHousing will
...PLAN from page 12 The funding, the Alliance proposes, should come from the $1.25 billion Federal CARES Act funding that was disbursed to Maine. “Maine’s retail, tourism and hospitality sector employ nearly 150,000 Mainers. According to the Maine Department of Labor, retail dropped 12,000 jobs between February and April and Leisure and Hospitality lost 42,600 jobs. Sadly, more than half of the jobs lost in Maine have come from our industries. We need bold action to make sure these industries are around in 2021,” said Curtis Picard, CEO of the Retail Association of Maine. The plan invests $400 million to businesses with 50 current full-time employees or less. These businesses struggled with accessing
federal programs such as the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and the Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL). Hospitality, retail, and tourism businesses with more than 50 fulltime employees would divvy up $300 million, and $10 million in grants would be reserved for 501C-6 organizations which service the hospitality, tourism, and retail sectors. “Tourism touches all aspects of our communities, from schools, real estate, support businesses like hardware stores and car dealerships, and most importantly our quality of life. Restarting Maine’s economy begins with restarting travel,” said Tony Cameron, Chief Executive Officer of the Maine Tourism Association. “This plan will help businesses survive this year so they can recover next year.”

continue to administer the program on a statewide level with local implementation provided by Maine’s Community Action Agencies. “We know this won’t cover the full rent for most renters,” Brennan noted. “We want to help as many people as possible and to do that, we capped the one-time payment at $500. It’s also important for us to reiterate – this is not a rent forgiveness program. Renters are still re-
sponsible for paying their rent. We encourage landlords and tenants to communicate with one another about this program and other issues that may arise because of COVID-19.” Those who received rent relief through this program in April or May are not eligible for program funds in June. Those who applied in April and May but have yet to hear back from their local Community Action Agency should contact that
agency to check on the status of their application. People who live in subsidized housing are not eligible for this program because they have other programs available to them and should contact their property manager. Applicants can find application materials and answers to commonly asked questions at www.mainehousing.org.

USDA Extends Waiver Expanding Meals for Low-Income Children WASHINGTON, D.C. Following a bipartisan push from U.S. Senators Susan Collins and Angus King and Representatives Chellie Pingree and Jared Golden, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced a new nationwide waiver that will allow schools and other meal sites to continue serving nutritious meals to all children for the remainder of the summer. Without an extension, this program would no longer have been available to more than 60% of Maine children currently receiving these meals. “With schools closed and families experiencing increasing financial pressure due to COVID-19, communities are faced with new and unique challenges related to food security. More than 82,000 Maine students qualify for free or reduced price meals, and we pushed USDA to remove any barriers that could prevent Maine students from accessing critical nutrition during this
pandemic,” said Senators Collins and King and Representatives Pingree and Golden in a joint statement. “Extending program flexibilities to keep meal sites in Maine open and able to serve all children for the remainder of this summer will help ensure that no child goes hungry as a result of the pandemic.” During the regular school year, the National School Lunch and Breakfast programs provide nearly 225,000 meals daily to children across Maine; however, typically, USDA funded summer meals sites are limited to low-income areas. Prior to the COVID19 pandemic, the majority of Maine school districts were not able to operate open meal sites—where meals are served free to any child without registration when school is out of session—if less than 50% of the children in their areas met the income qualifications.

Good Shepherd Food Bank Releases Hunger Projections by County STATEWIDE Hunger across Maine is climbing due to the economic impacts of COVID-19. Good Shepherd Food Bank, Maine’s largest hunger-relief organization, is assessing the local impact in each of Maine’s sixteen counties, as statewide rates of hunger are projected to grow by as much as 40% in 2020. Sagadahoc, York, Cum-
berland, and Knox counties are projected to see the greatest increase in the number of people struggling with hunger.

local levels of food insecurity. Feeding America used the Map the Meal Gap model to predict changes to food insecurity rates for the overall population and children in response to projected changes to poverty and unemployment in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. Pre-pandemic, Maine had approximately 180,000 households (13.6%) struggling with food insecurity. Good Shepherd Food Bank believes this number could climb to as high as 250,000 households, should rates of unemployment and poverty sustain at high rates. Cumberland County’s rate of childhood food insecurity is projected to increase by 59% with Sagadahoc and York Counties not far behind, bringing the overall rates of child
hunger in those counties to around one in four kids. While the increase is staggering in southern Maine, the rates of child hunger in counties like Piscataquis, Somerset, Aroostook, Washington, and Oxford could cause one in three kids to experience hunger. Good Shepherd Food Bank estimates that it will incur $6.3 million in additional expenses related to the first six months of its COVID-19 response and the organization has raised over $5 million to specifically fund those needs. With this support, the Food Bank increased its food distribution by 2 million pounds this spring compared to the same time period last year. The Food Bank purchased the majority of this additional food at a time
when food donations from retailers decreased due to supply issues. In May alone, the Food Bank purchased 370 percent more food than it does in an average month. The data referenced here is from Feeding America, the largest hunger-relief organization in the U.S. with a nationwide network of over 200 food banks that feed more than 40 million people through food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters, and other communitybased partners. Good Shepherd Food Bank is a member of this network and works closely with Feeding America to bring national hunger-relief tactics to Maine. Additional information on Map the Meal Gap methodology is available by contacting Good Shepherd Food Bank or Feeding America. For more information, visit www.feedingmaine.org.
More Than $1.3M Announced for Maine Hospitals WASHINGTON, D.C. U.S. Senators Susan Collins and Angus King announced that Maine hospitals have been awarded a total of $1,355,641 to support their efforts to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. This investment is part of the second tranche of $350 million allocated by HHS through the Coronavirus Preparedness and Response Supplemental Appropriations Act and the CARES Act to bolster the U.S. health care system’s response to COVID-19. In total, Maine has received $2,991,576. “This investment will support the tireless efforts of the doctors, nurses, and other medi-
cal professionals who are on the front lines working to keep our communities safe and healthy during the pandemic,” said Senators Collins and King in a joint statement. “We will continue our efforts to help provide health care providers throughout Maine with the resources they need to respond to COVID-19 and treat patients.” This funding, awarded through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Hospital Preparedness Program, will support hospitals and other health care providers to train their workforce; expand telemedicine and the use of virtual
health care; procure supplies and equipment; and coordinate effectively across regional, state and jurisdictional, and local health care facilities to respond to COVID-19. In addition, this funding will advance the mission of the National Special Pathogen System to enhance national capacity and capability to respond to highly infectious diseases now and in the future.

Donna was an icon in town; scooting about on her little red motor bike. There wasn’t a person that she didn’t know or that didn’t love her. She was a kind, generous woman with a big heart and even bigger sense of humor. Donna was a member of the TOPS club in Sanford where she made many friends throughout the state. Donna loved doing adult coloring pictures as well as attending North Berwick Fire Department bingo. She and husband Ray once took a 7-week cross-country trip which she fondly remembered. They also took a yearly road trip to Wisconsin to visit relatives; hitting every casino along the way. They rode motorcycles together, had a wonderful life; recently celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. Donna will be sorely missed by her husband Raymond James, daughter Deanna Foley, and son Michael James, all of North Berwick; brother Buddy Hemingway and wife Colleen of Freeport; sister Nancy Berry and husband Bobbie of California; and grandchildren Kevin Foley of Shapleigh and Jenna Kearns with husband Chris of North Berwick; brother-in-law Paul James and wife Cindy of Westbrook; sister-in-law Donna Kenney of Sanford and her beloved cat, Coonie.

Political Pillar Richardson has Passed STATEWIDE New Center Maine reported that Political Brew Contributor John Richardson passed away on Tuesday, June 16. “John has long been a fixture on Maine’s political stage,” the report noted. In 2002, Richardson was elected House Majority Leader and was the political spokesperson for the House Democratic caucus. In 2005, he was elected as speaker of the Maine House of Representatives. In 2007, he was appointed commissioner of the Maine Department of Economic and Community Development, until 2009. Richardson leaves behind his wife, Stephanie, and three children at their home in Brunswick. Governor Janet Mills released the following statement in response to John’s death: “I was deeply saddened to learn of John’s passing. As Speaker of the House during my time in the Legislature, he was a tireless advocate for Maine’s working men and women, efforts that he continued later as Commissioner of the Department of Economic and Community Development
See JAMES page 22...
where he fought to build a brighter future for families and small businesses across our state. John’s many contributions to Maine extend beyond state government, with a legacy that stretches from the creation of the Business and Consumer Court to the redevelopment of the former Brunswick Naval Air Station, now Brunswick Landing. On behalf of the people of Maine, I offer our sincere condolences to his family and friends during this difficult time and express our gratitude for his service to our state. The people of Brunswick have lost a friend. I have lost a friend. The State of Maine has lost a friend.” For the full report, visit www.newscentermaine.com.

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.

ordeal eliminating ringworm at our shelter, but we did it! We have a few kitties who are still waiting for their test results and have families interested in adopting them. We feel so very fortunate. To visit kitties at our shelter, please call 207-646-1611 and make an appointment. We recently helped out another local rescue group by placing a mother cat and her kittens in a new foster home. Within days, a lesion was found which looked suspicious and a culture was taken. The lesion tested positive for ringworm. The new foster mom and her family decided to handle this unfortunate situation with great love and dedication. They went above and beyond to ensure that their other pets did not contract ringworm. Twice a week, they’ve been medicating and dipping this family of kitties. At the same time, they’re showering their new family members with love. It’s one thing to give lip service to the idea that you love animals, but it’s another to actually step up and follow a grueling 8-12 week regime of twice-week-

Bank Donates to Help Students Cheer on Teams at Championships YORK COUNTY This past weekend, Camden National Bank gave nearly $7,500 in donations to ten Maine high school teams in the communities where it has banking centers for the 2020 Boys and Girls Basketball State Championships. The support made it possible for more than 1,500 students to attend this year’s games in Portland, Bangor, and Augusta and cheer on their friends and classmates. Camden National Bank has now carried on this community tradition for 11 years, donating nearly $60,000 total to Maine high schools and enabling more than 12,000 students to attend Championship Games for free. This unique sponsorship originally started when a Camden National Bank employee called attention to the fact that many high school students do not have the funds to buy tickets and see their teams play in the Championships. Those students miss out on seeing the game and
being a part of this important community event. The employee brought her concern and idea to the Bank, and they committed to supporting the students with tickets, free of charge. “It is incredible to see how this grassroots community effort has become a great tradition for local students, families, and our employees over the years,” said Greg Dufour, President & CEO of Camden National Bank. “Congratulations to all the teams that competed in the Championship games this year. Your dedication and teamwork—as well as the support from your classmates—are energizing and inspiring for all.” Towns supported by Camden National Bank in the 2020 State Championship games were Hampden, York, Auburn, Saco, Winthrop, Machias, Hermon, and Greenville. To learn more about Camden National Bank’s community giving efforts, visit www.camdennational.com.

Bill Green, executive director of the MSHoF, said he was amazed and inspired by the resumes of the applicants. “There were at least a dozen valedictorians, 100 All-Staters, and many had used their athletic and academic prominence to contribute mightily to their various communities,” Green said. “It was a heartening although difficult process for the committee.” The seniors, each of whom will receive $5,000 scholarships for their outstanding achievements in sport and in the classroom, are: Keegan Gentle of Houlton High School (Maine Maritime Academy); Hali Goodwin of Boothbay Region High School (Syracuse University); Kaylen Krul of Camden Hills

ed for all that they do in their communities, on the athletic field and in the classroom.” The MSHoF is fundraising for its scholarship program with an online Kentucky Derby Weekend raffle.
