Working to Recharge Coin Circulation Fire Captain Completes Officer Certification

NATIONWIDE Coin circulation has emerged as a new disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Many have referred to this as a shortage; however it is not. There is more than $40 billion in coin already in circulation, most of which is sitting dormant inside America’s 128 million households. As people have changed their spending habits, and coin-intensive businesses and financial institution lobbies have been less accessible, the nation’s coin is pooling in change jars, in car cup holders and in shuttered businesses, making it difficult for the businesses of this country to get the coin that they need to support cash transactions. To address the circulation problem, the United States Mint and Federal Reserve established a U.S. Coin Task Force in July 2020 that includes representatives of critical parts of the coin supply chain such as financial institutions, armored carriers, retailers, and coin aggregators. “The weak circulation affects most everyone but the hardest hit are small cash-dependent businesses and those See COIN page 3...

Significant Trade Victory Public Comments Sought for Maine Lobster! on Fishing Law Changes

WASHINGTON, D.C. U.S. Senator Susan Collins announced that the United States and the European Union have reached an agreement to eliminate tariffs on live and frozen American lobster, which will help to substantially boost sales of Maine lobster to European markets. Several years ago, the European Union was a top destination for American lobster, accounting for approximately 15 to 20 percent of annual lobster exports. In 2017, the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) was implemented between Canada and the European Union, reducing tariffs to zero on live Canadian lobsters and eliminating tariffs over a period of several years on frozen and processed Canadian lobsters. This put American lobster exporters at a serious disadvantage because, unlike Canadians, American exporters were

facing tariffs of between 8 and 30 percent to sell into the European Union. Under the deal reached today, there will now be a 0% tariff on live and frozen lobsters from the U.S., retroactive to August 1. The agreement is expected to last for five years, with the European Union taking steps to make it permanent. “This is welcome news for the hardworking men and women in Maine’s lobster industry who are facing severe financial difficulties due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing trade war that has reduced exports. Placing U.S. lobster on a level playing field with Canadian lobster is a significant victory that will reopen this lucrative market to Maine lobstermen and women,” said Senator Collins. “I will continue to fight on behalf of our state’s lobster-

Maine’s Community Colleges Make Tech Promise

STATEWIDE In a pledge to incoming and returning students, Maine’s community colleges are announcing the “Tech Promise,” a commitment that students in need will have the technology and support they need for learning online. About 70 percent of classes are online this fall, with in-person instruction limited to critical hands-on instruction. “You bring the commitment to learn and we’ll make sure you have the tools you need,” said Maine Community College President David Daigler. “We have a lot of students who are interested in attending one of our seven colleges, but they’re hesitating because they just aren’t sure about

the future. The Tech Promise erases at least one of those concerns. “We recognize that it’s a big change for our students. We want them to feel as confident as we do,” Daigler said. “We’ve invested in new technology to make the transition to online, and our faculty have been working to overhaul and enhance their courses for remote delivery. We’ve discovered so many ways to improve instruction, and it’s clear to us we’ll be using many of these methods going forward even after the pandemic has ended. It’s a whole new approach to delivering what students need, where they need it, and the flexibility to offer it when they need it.”

Daigler said the Tech Promise means each college will work with its students to make sure they have the technology they need, such as computers, internet connections, and tech support. Some colleges have instituted lending programs or allowed access to campus computing resources for rural students who do not have internet access. All students have to do is fill out a simple form. As part of the Tech Promise, the colleges are offering free online training for all students on what to expect in an online course, and tips for being successful in an online course. The Tech Promise is an extension of support provided this spring when students shifted to remote learning, and the colleges used federal COVID-19 aid funds to provide computers and tech support to students. Funding for the program will come from a number of sources, including federal CARES Act money earmarked for COVID-related expenses, and The Foundation for Maine’s Community Colleges.

King Calls for Census Extension to Ensure Full, Accurate Count WASHINGTON, D.C. U.S. Senator Angus King (I-ME) joined a bipartisan group of senators in calling for the extension of the statutory deadlines for the delivery of apportionment data and redistricting files following the 2020 Census. The senators urged House and Senate leaders to include the extension in the upcoming coronavirus relief package. The letter continues Senator King’s efforts to ensure an accurate census count. Senator King recently joined a group of 23 colleagues seeking to protect the 2020 Census against the Administration’s announcement that it will cut Census data collection operations short by one month.

Collins’s commitment to supporting our industry and her dedication to assisting us resolve our market access challenges in Europe. She has been at the forefront of this issue and has worked closely with our industry and USTR for several years.”

ging behind the national response rate; if this lag continues, it would result in the loss of necessary federal investment in communities statewide for the next 10 years. “Extending the deadlines for the delivery of these files in the next COVID-19 relief package will ensure that the Census Bureau has adequate time to complete a full, fair, and accurate 2020 Census. It will also ensure that both the Congress and the states receive accurate data for apportionment and redistricting,” the senators wrote in their letter to House and Senate leaders. Citing a request first made by Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross and Census Bureau Director Steven Dillingham to extend the deadlines for apportionment to April 30 and redistricting to July 31, the senators underscored the need to give the Census Bureau adequate time to collect and report an accurate count following delays due to the coronavirus pandemic.

~ News ~ ...COIN from page 1 who are least well off,” said Hannah Walker, a Task Force member and Vice President with FMI, The Food Industry Association. “For millions of Americans, cash is the only form of payment.” The task force released a public statement in late July encouraging the public to do what they could to return coin into circulation: Start spending coin; Deposit coin at financial institutions; Redeem coin at coin kiosks; Use the hashtag #getcoinmoving in your own social media posts to promote awareness and understanding of the issue. The task force has also identified a number of sources of friction that prevent the smooth functioning of the coin supply chain. For example, as financial institutions have limited access to their lobbies, it has become more difficult for consumers and small businesses to deposit their coin. Having identified bottlenecks among consumers, retailers, armored carriers, and financial institu-

tions, the Task Force developed preliminary recommendations, such as awareness campaigns and toolkits to help reduce points of friction – for example, financial institutions that are not equipped to accept large scale loose deposits of coin by consumers could provide coin rolling kits free of charge to their customers. These initial recommendations are an outcome of the task force’s first phase, which

concluded at the end of July. The task force has agreed to continue working into August on the second phase, focused on refining recommendations as well as identifying strategies that would require a longer lead time to develop.

~ Ask The Computer Lady ~ Dear Computer Lady, How do I switch to cordless mouse? I just got this laptop with windows 10 yesterday. Thanks, EJ Dear EJ, When you purchase a cordless mouse, it will come with a small USB device that you plug into one of the USB ports in your laptop. That USB receiver will communicate with the wireless mouse and you will be able to use it. Be patient when you plug the USB device in and turn on the mouse for the first time. (Most wireless devices have an on/off switch to conserve the battery) It often takes windows a few minutes to recognize the device and get it working. Once it starts working, however, it will work right off the next time you start your computer. Elizabeth Dear Readers, If you are using your computer and a notice pops up saying you are infected with a virus or something and instructs you to call a phone number, DONT DO IT! IT IS A HOAX! Or, if you get a phone call from someone who claims to be from Windows technical sup-

port, don’t talk to them, hang up! Lately, I get phone calls almost every day from people who call the number, let the scammer take over their computer, and then try to charge them hundreds of dollars to “fix” it. When they refuse to pay, the scammer messes up their computer and leaves it that way. Here is a classic example of one of these scammers http://www.youtube. com/watch?v=GVQoAlQrnSg. Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, I have Windows 10 and the main thing I don’t like is Microsoft Edge. I still use both Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird. In my e-mails when I open a photo attachment it opens with Microsoft Edge. How can I change the setting so that it opens with Firefox or Adobe or Windows. Many thanks for all your previous most helpful comments in your column. Kindest regards, Warren Dear Warren, Windows 10 makes it fairly easy to change your default photo application. Here is how.

Local Author Continues Bike Cop Series

KENNEBUNKPORT Author James H.K. Bruner’s love of Maine runs deep. His family first summered in Biddeford Pool, where his father was the rector of St. Martin’s-in-the-Field. The family also spent summers in Castine in the Dyce’s Head lighthouse

and at Winter Harbor’s Grindstone Farm. In 1963, Bruner’s father became the pastor of St. Ann’s Church in Kennebunkport. That’s where James met his wife, Gretchen, and where they and their six children continue to reside seasonally. James combines his love of Maine with his experiences as an attorney to weave legal thrillers just right for an “entertaining beach read” Kirkus Review. Bruner got his knack for storytelling by trying to put his children asleep. The children would clamor for more and it encouraged him to author his first book in the series, The Bike Cop in the Greater Weight of Evidence (Xlibris, 2018). The first book received

rave reviews and was followed by the next successful installment, Son Over the Yardarm, which was released in June, 2019. Both books are available online and at www.thebikecop. com. Bruner uses his experiences at his former educational institutions to help his stories. He attended Albany Academy, Northwood School in Lake Placid, N.Y., Hudson Valley Community College (A.A.), University of Buffalo (BA), and Syracuse University College of Law (JD). The author’s active practice of law has provided fertile territory for story ideas. He is licensed in Maine, Massachusetts, New York and Florida. In the third book in The Bike Cop series, Shadows of

Dog Island Light, Digger Davenport returns from his junior year of college to resume his summer job with the Port Talbot Police Department. While his ongoing romance with Kristy Riggins faces new challenges on land and at sea, Digger investigates a brilliant criminal’s scheme to get revenge on a prominent local family that’s been hiding many secrets on a small island just off the coast of Port Talbot. Making emotional new discoveries about his own family secrets, Digger finds himself in a harrowing race against time and a mysterious menace at the Dog Island Lighthouse. This season, Digger’s summer adventures have a real bite. “Digger and Kristy are back in the Port again, encountering evil and intrigue. What is so fun about Jamie’s series, besides the sheer excitement, is being able to pause from reading and see our community of yesteryear at the center of the action. It allows those who love Maine to really connect with Jamie’s fantastic stories,” wrote Dorothy Walker Bush Koch, New York Times best-selling author and co-chair, Barbara Bush Foundation for Literacy.

disorder later in life. The goal of the Pinetree Institute’s newly created Master Trainer Series is to carry the message of ACEs and the effect of toxic stress to every sector of the community, adapting the approach we take to education, health services, law enforcement, counseling, rehabilitation, and social work. Adverse Childhood Experiences are instances of abuse or neglect suffered by children which can have a negative impact on their health later in life. Repeated activation of a child’s stress response systems can create a cycle known as “toxic stress,” which impedes development and leads to negative health outcomes in the adults they become - including depression and substance use disorder. Understanding the effects of ACEs can help caregivers anticipate the needs of at-risk

children, inform the way medical professionals administer care and allow ordinary citizens to be more aware and sensitive to the side effects of trauma in our friends and neighbors. “An informed community is a stronger community,” said Bradford C. Paige, President and CEO of Kennebunk Savings, the series’ sponsor. “The Master Trainer Series is meant for local stakeholders and engaged citizens – to provide them with the latest research, put it into the context of the struggles our communities face, and empower them to move us forward.” Kennebunk Savings’ Spotlight Fund was created in 2016 to focus a dedicated portion of the bank’s charitable giving toward a critical community issue – in this case, substance use disorder. In 2020, the bank has committed to donating $150,000 for programs aimed at community education and barrier reduction for those in recovery. Fostering a wider understanding of ACEs is a significant aspect of that plan. “Community education is critical,” said Dr. Larry McCullough, the Pinetree Institute’s founder. “We want to tell everybody we can, and then we want them to tell everybody else.”

The initial class of 30 Master Trainers was selected from nominated educators, mental health professionals, law enforcement officers, justice system personnel, medical professionals, and others working with individuals and families impacted by ACEs. The virtual initiative begins September 10 with an orientation, followed by three daylong sessions conducted by Dr. Rob Anda, one of the authors of the original ACEs research, and Laura Porter, a leader in the field of community implementation. The newly minted Master Trainers will then be tracked for three years as they conduct their own trainings and work to further the message of ACEs and their impact throughout their organizations and surrounding communities. A second wave of “Community Champions” will be trained by the Pinetree Institute in the coming months. Pinetree is a 501(c)3 nonprofit established for the purpose of promoting sustainable well-being in individuals, families and communities with a special focus on resilience and trauma-informed care.

MaineHealth Receives Federal Funding for Telehealth Program YORK COUNTY MaineHealth is pleased to announce it is the recipient of telehealth funds through the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) Telehealth Program that will further enable the health system to provide exceptional telehealth care to patients across Maine and N.H.. The FCC awarded MaineHealth $803,268 for costs associated with rapidly expanding the health system’s telehealth infrastructure and technology in response to the coronavirus pandemic. Approximately $200,000 of the funds will be used to purchase new high-end telehealth carts and videoconferencing equipment that will enable patients to see providers from the comfort of their own home or video visit with family members they cannot otherwise see due to COVID-19 visitor restrictions. Expanding these critical telehealth services has enabled MaineHealth to provide essential care to 25,000 unique patients who have been able to receive care even when many provider offices were closed. In 2019, MaineHealth conducted close to 15,000 telehealth visits. Since the coronavirus pandemic started this year, the health system has already conducted nearly 53,000 total patient visits, which include office visits, mental health counseling and preventative health screenings. To date, patient satisfaction for individuals who have utilized telehealth services across MaineHealth has also been overwhelmingly positive. “We are incredibly grateful to the FCC to be receiving these telehealth funds. This funding helps give our patient communities the opportunity for more convenient access to high-quality care where and when they need it,” said MaineHealth Director of Telehealth Jasmine Bishop. “Given Maine and New Hampshire’s more rural geography and older age demographic, these telehealth services are critical and enable our providers to continue delivering care to our patients who need it the most. This funding will also make it possible for our health system to give our patients in more rural areas easier access to specialists and provider expertise, without having to travel long distances for care.” The funding MaineHealth received is part of the federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, or CARES Act, which allocated

$200 million to supporting health care providers’ use of telehealth services during the coronavirus pandemic. To date, 444 health care providers and organizations have received funding. “Expanding our telehealth program has enabled us to provide an innovative and convenient way of delivering high-quality care to our patient communities in a very challenging environment,” said Bishop. “This federal funding allows us to continue doing this important work and provide these benefits to a greater number of patients.” Telehealth services at MaineHealth from March 18-June 23: 55,626 completed video visits; 60,788 telephone visits; More than 1,000 providers using telehealth; 25,000 unique patients served. For more information, visit www.mainehealth.org/services/ telehealth.

William Joseph Briggs, Sr., 67 OGUNQUIT – William Joseph Briggs, Sr., of Ogunquit, passed away on Wednesday, August 12, 2020 at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, MA, following a long battle with pulmonary fibrosis and ankylosing spondylitis. Bill was born on September 12, 1952 in Revere, MA, son of the late Henry James Briggs, Jr. and the late Theresa Marie Briggs (née Hennessy). He was baptized as a child of God at St. Mary’s Church, Charlestown, MA. Bill grew up in Wilmington, MA, near the shores of Silver Lake and spoke fondly of his fun times there, including

swimming, fishing, ice skating, and bonfires. He graduated from Wilmington High School and Montserrat College of Art in Beverly, MA. In his earlier years Bill was employed by Jordan Marsh & Co. where he met the love of his life, Anne, in 1974. His work expanded later into a career of architectural design and remodeling, especially kitchen design. Bill had a wonderful eye for color and design and always had a “vision” for future plans, doing much of his own home remodeling prior to his illness. Upon his retirement from design work, Bill joined the hospitality industry and worked continuously through October of 2019. He was a true people person and his face became a welcoming sight at Barnacle Billy’s in Ogunquit where the community and staff embraced his fun loving spirit. Prior to his decline, Bill and Anne spent a great deal of time enjoying the beaches, attending the Ogunquit Playhouse and supporting the local businesses with many friends and family. In recent months, Bill spent a lot of quality time with Anne at home

due to the pandemic. He greatly enjoyed listening to his vast collection of 45 records on his 1952 RCA record player, following the local real estate and news, participating in zoom meetings as a member of the Sunrise Terrace Board and receiving visits from friends and family. Some of his favorite moments were watching the birds and enjoying the beautiful view. When asked what he was doing he would often say, “I’m just listening to my ocean and thinking about how blessed we are to live in such a beautiful place.” He is survived by his loving wife of 38 years, Anne Marie Briggs, son William Joseph Briggs, Jr. of Chicago, IL, brother James Briggs of Litchfield, NH, and many other friends and family. He was predeceased by his infant daughter Anne Marie Briggs in 1984, his parents Henry and Theresa Briggs, and other beloved family and friends.

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.

Shirley M. Grant, 85 NORTH BERWICK – Shirley M. Grant passed away peacefully, Saturday, August 8, 2020 at St. Ann’s Rehabilitation & Nursing Center in Dover, NH, after a period of declining health. She was born June 27, 1935 in South Berwick, the only child of William and Doris (Littlefield) Guptill. She was a 1953 graduate of North Berwick High School. Shirley married the love of her life, Robert H. Grant in 1955 and they made a happy home on Maple Street for 65 years. She worked at Ross Furniture after high school until the birth of their first child in 1958. At that time, she happily became a full-time wife and mother, welcoming three more children into their family over the ensuing years. Shirley loved theater and music, having grown up with musical parents and attending Beaver Dam Grange during its heyday. She was a season ticket holder to all of the area playhouses. At Christmas she would take her daughters into Portland to see the Magic of Christmas, a tradition that will be missed by them all. She was a member of the North Berwick Historical Society and enjoyed the Spring Tea Social. Shirley had a vast knowledge of North Berwick and its older families. She had a love of words and was an avid reader and puzzle solver. She was a decent artist in her own right and a master at wall papering. She decorated doll carriages and pedal tractors for her children to participate in Fireman’s Field Day events. She was a girl scout leader, room mother and caretaker to young and old. As a family, the Grant’s enjoyed camping throughout New England and swimming at the cottage on Bauneg Beg. Snow-

mobiling at the farm on Oakwoods Road where many a pine cone fight was waged. Shirley was a member of the Eastern Star, Red Hat Society and Bethel Christian Church, where she was baptized several years ago. She was very proud of her family and always supported their various endeavors; and we were proud to be part of a great group of kids being raised on Maple Street. Shirley is survived by her loving husband Robert; three daughters, Susan MacDougall (Danny) of North Berwick, Patricia Smith (Steve) of Middleborough, MA, and Lisa Lemieux (Jon) of Hickory, NC; son Peter Grant (Linda) of Berwick; seven grandchildren, Ryan MacDougall (Tamara Monroe), Mitchell MacDougall (Sasha), Kayla Grant (Devyn Cooper), Indya Grant (Devyn Calvert), Jen Laurent (Dennis), Jamie Lavigne (Matt), and Jason Saucier (Loretta); ten great-grandchildren, Ezra MacDougall, Harley and Lincoln Cooper, Corinna Halteman, Mirabelle and Cedar Laurent, Malia and Stella Lavigne, Slayter and Cecilia Saucier; one great-great grandchild Jackson; and last but certainly not least, two beloved pets, Gracie and Tobey. The family would like to thank the staff at St. Ann’s for keeping mom safe and happy these past few months during these challenging times. Graveside services were See GRANT page 23...

BUSINESS & FINANCE Maine Home Sales and Values Strong in July AUGUSTA Sales of single-family existing homes continue to recover from the impacts of the early months of COVID-19; Maine Listings reports a sales jump of 12.43% in July 2020, when compared to July 2019. Values rose 10.83% to a median sales price (MSP) of $254,900, comparing July 2020 to July ...COMPUTERS from page 7 a disc or on a memory stick. I had it on my desktop and when it crashed I lost it. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you, Mimi Dear Mimi, If you got the program from my column, it was probably Karen’s directory printer. There are actually a few directory printer applications available, but the only one I have used is Karen’s directory printer. Unfortunately, Karen passed away a few years ago, and her website is no longer available. If you search though, you can still find her program on some of the free software sites out there.

2019. The MSP indicates that half of the homes were sold for more and half sold for less. “Like the weather, Maine’s real estate markets were hot in July and for a number of reasons,” says Tom Cole, 2020 President of the Maine Association of REALTORS® and Managing Broker of Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate The Masiello Group in Brunswick. “Maine’s quality of life, our nation-leading low COVID-19 metrics, and mortgage interest rates hovering at three percent and below (increasing buying power), are contributing to very strong demand

for residential real estate. The July statistics indicate pent-up demand from the initial drop-off impacts of the pandemic.” “For-sale inventory levels are very tight, nearly 40% below a year ago, and prospective buyers who sat out for the past few months are feeling more confident financially and comfortable with the safety protocols. They have become active again. With July’s sales rebound, the number of single-family homes sold from January through July 2020 is only -1.1% below 2019, Maine’s best year ever.” According to the National

Association of Realtors, sales nationwide were up 9.8% in the past year. The national MSP rose 8.5% to $307,800. Regionally, single-family home sales in the Northeast eased 5.9% while the regional MSP increased 4.0% to $317,800 comparing July 2020 to July 2019. “We want to welcome more residents to our great state and ‘the way life should be,’”

adds Cole. “We are seeing evidence of increasing out-of-state buyer activity. Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, Maine REALTORS® have been noticing an influx of buyers from outof-state looking at properties in Maine. Recent data indicates a 5.5% increase of sales to buyers from out-of-state comparing July 2020 to July of 2019.”

KENNEBUNK Are you looking for a new canine companion? A special new friend to join your family? We’re celebrating the senior dog days of summer by highlighting the older canines. We have two very special mature ladies looking for retirement homes. Each one awaits the chance to blossom as part of your family. As a ten-year-old senior, Daisy is looking for a very quiet home to call her own. She’d like her family to be adult-only, just one or two calm and gentle people, with as little foot traffic as possible. Unfamiliar noises and unfamiliar people really make Daisy uncomfortable. She’s not a touchy-feely kind of dog, so her new people should understand that she’s not going to come up and cuddle or enjoy unsolicited petting. When she’s interested in getting attention, she’ll come up to her people, but she’s most content to show her affection by being near her people. Her people should respect that and give her

the time and space she needs to feel comfortable and blossom in her new home. To learn more about adopting Daisy, call the AWS Adoption Center at 207985-3244. Our staff are available daily after 9 a.m. to answer phones and chat about Daisy, or any of the pets in our care. Daizy, with a “Z”, is an eight-year-old American Bulldog who loves to smile and show the world how happy she is. She enjoys the company of her people, bring brushed, having her belly rubbed or just hanging out. She also enjoys playing games together – tug being her favorite. She’s also quite the swimmer. For Daizy, there is nothing like a summer afternoon paddling

away to her heart’s content. Such a happy gal! She too should go to an adult-only home and be the only pet in the home. She is being fostered by Old Dogs New Digs (ODND). To learn more about bringing Daizy into your heart and home, please reach out to ODND directly via email at woof@olddogsnewdigs.com. It’s likely that you’ve known and loved a senior-aged pet in your life. There’s something truly special about these old souls... whether it’s the lifetime that lives behind their eyes, the gray muzzles, the extra long naps, or the way that they just know us the best. If you’d like to help us add some extra cushion to their beds, sneak them an extra treat or help with needed medication, it would be so very appreciated.

WELLS Sierra was pregnant again. Like other stray, unspayed, castaside female cats, she once again found herself the mother of a precious litter: vulnerable and hungry. She needed to protect and feed them, keep warm and out of harm’s way. She found the attic of an abandoned house. A fire had charred its walls but it would be home to her little family. She found a quiet corner and gave birth to five babies. Each was healthy despite mom’s lack of a healthy diet or vaccinations to keep her healthy. Three were orange, one a brown tiger, black and white runt. She greeted them with her mew and held them to her warm belly full of milk and fed them their first delicious meal. She was hungry herself, but she stayed with them, kept them warm and comforted. She licked them from the tip of their tails to the tips of their little noses. Domestic beauty in a filthy, burnedout attic. When the babies slept, Sierra hunted for food to nourish herself. She mustn’t starve and needed nutrition to nurse her family. As weeks passed, the kittens grew from infancy to five weeks, and began exploring. Sierra moved them to the fresh outdoors, always protect-

ing them from harm. She was fed by a warm-hearted woman who loved her and her kittens. They were all eventually trapped and moved to our farmhouse at Cattail Farm. Her room had everything they could wish for. Plenty of food, clean blankets, toys, sunshine, even air conditioning on hot days. Loving volunteers to comfort and socialize them. Last weekend, some devoted adopters came in, intending to adopt two of the kittens. But they fell in love with all five, and adopted them all to keep them together forever. Now Sierra is free again, no longer a nurturing mama. She is free of the work and worry of motherhood. Now Sierra can play like a kitten. She can finally be the one who gets spoiled as the center of attention. It’s Sierra’s turn! A lovely muted torti, Sierra is living happily in our Cattail Farm farmhouse. She’s spayed and will NEVER be a mom again. She’s available for adoption to someone who will cherish her for the rest of her life. Call

Land Conservation Groups Celebrate Campaign to Protect 1,500 Additional Acres in York County KITTERY A coalition of land conservation groups in southern York County has achieved its ambitious goal of protecting 1,500 more acres of open space since 2014, within a focus area that spans six towns centered around Mt. Agamenticus and is the state’s most biologically diverse region. The Mt. Agamenticus to the Sea Conservation Initiative (MtA2C) completed this most recent campaign through a series of 34 projects, a rate that equates to roughly one completed project every two months. “This type of achievement doesn’t just happen,” says Doreen MacGillis, executive director of York Land Trust, a MtA2C partner. “This was a tremendous effort by local, state, and federal groups working together with towns to make this possible. It shows that when we work together as a community, we can accomplish so much.”

The completion of the campaign comes at a time when public use of nature preserves has skyrocketed as community members seek exercise and peace of mind out of their homes during the COVID-19 pandemic. “We’ve heard from so many visitors to our preserves who have expressed their gratitude for making these resources available,” says MacGillis. “It has really highlighted how much people value access to conserved lands, and how great the demand is to make even more land available to the public.” Significant projects completed since 2014 include York Land Trust’s 220-acre Fuller Forest Preserve that is scheduled to open later this year, Kittery Land Trust’s 150-acre Brave Boat Headwaters Preserve that opened in 2016, and Great Works Regional Land Trust’s protection of the 118 acre Goodwin Farm in Eliot — with 34 acres remaining in active agriculture,

and 84 acres available for public use. Other recent projects include Kittery Land Trust’s 84-acre Andrews Preserve off of Cutts Road and York Land Trust’s recent acquisition of 86 acres along Josias Brook in Cape Neddick. Support for the 34 cumulative projects came from federal, state, municipal and public funding sources, along with foundations and individual donors. Aside from providing local residents and visitors with ample access to nature, these protected lands also preserve critical wildlife habitat across diverse landscapes including forests, streams, brooks, vernal pools, marshes, and meadows, along with working farmland that helps maintain the agricultural heritage of the region. An array of rare, threatened, and endangered plants and animals also make their homes in this area — a region that notably contains the most intact coastal forest anywhere between the New Jersey Pine Barrens and

Acadia National Park. Since its inception in 2002, MtA2C partners have conserved more than 4,600 acres of land that include roughly 30 public preserves and about 50 miles of hiking trails. The MtA2C region now contains 14,667 acres of open space — 5,000 acres shy of MtA2C’s longterm goal of 19,000 protected acres in the region. “We have a lot to be proud of, and are so thrilled to be able to offer our communities access to these lands that will continue to be available for future generations,” says Lisa Linehan, MtA2C Coordinator. “But we still have plenty more work to do to reach our 19,000 acre goal.” The heightened interest and visitation during the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted just how important this work will continue to be moving forward in the future. “This demonstrates more than any other time just how important these protected areas

Partners Bank’s Kimberly Weaver, Assistant Branch Manager of the Bank’s Springvale location, chose Caring Unlimited to receive $500 through the Bank’s Employee Donation Program.

Caring Unlimited Recipient of Donation Program YORK COUNTY For just over four years, Partners Bank employees have been selected monthly to choose a non-profit organization or charity of their choice to receive $500. Recently, Assistant Branch Manager of the Bank’s Springvale location, Kimberly Weaver, was chosen as the 50th employee through the program. For the month of May, Weaver selected Caring Unlimited of Sanford to receive the $500 gift. Weaver said she chose the organization because of all the various ways it supports women in escaping abusive relationships. Caring Unlimited, York County’s domestic violence program, began in 1977 when two women joined forces to help their friends and neighbors find safety and protection from times of domestic abuse. The program offers full confidential services which includes safety planning and support services all free of charge to anyone who has been victimized in an intimate relationship. Caring Unlimited has become a safe haven for women to receive support when needed at difficult times in their lives. This all being part of their mission to end domestic violence in York County. To learn more, visit www.caring-unlimited.org. “Everyone deserves to live a safe and healthy life,” Bank President and CEO Blaine Boudreau said. “Caring Unlimited has been an outlet to many who have had that wrongfully taken away from them. Thank you, Kim, for choosing such a deserving organization.”
