Thirteen Fallen Soldiers Honored by York Boys’ Hockey YORK / DOVER, NH The York Boys’ Hockey team played their annual Military Appreciation Game at the Dover Ice Arena on Monday, February 7. Traditionally, this event is an opportunity to honor all those who have served and/or are serving in the United States Military. It is through their incredible sacrifices that we are able to enjoy the freedoms that we cherish in this country. In preparation for this night the Senior hockey players visited the NHANG (New Hampshire Air National Guard) where they toured a KC-46 Air Refueling Plane and were taught how to

fold the American Flag by the Pease Honor Guard. The Honor Guard joined them for the game along with several members from the York Maine Veterans of Foreign Wars.

This year the hockey team chose to honor the thirteen U.S. service men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice on August 26, 2021 in Kabul, Afghanistan. They died in the line

of duty as they were evacuating military and civilian citizens. They were attacked with suicide bombs and gun fire by members of the Islamic State. Two flags were folded on the ice by the York Senior players. One flag was presented to Brenda Blonigen, Commander of the Boardman, Ellis VFW Post 6977 in York. Commander Blonigen accepted the flag in honor of the 13 Fallen Soldiers. The flag will be displayed at the VFW with a plaque with the names of the thirteen fallen soldiers: Marine Sgt. Johanny Rosario Pichardo, 25, of Lawrence, MA; Marine Sgt. Nicole L. Gee,

23, of Sacramento, CA; Marine Staff Sgt. Darin T. Hoover, 31, of Salt Lake City, UT; Marine Cpl. Hunter Lopez, 22, of Indio, CA; Marine Cpl. Daegan W. Page, 23, of Omaha, NE; Marine Cpl. Humberto A. Sanchez, 22, of Logansport, IN; Marine Lance Cpl. David L. Espinoza, 20, of Rio Bravo, TX; Marine Lance Cpl. Jared M. Schmitz, 20, of St. Charles, MO; Marine Lance Cpl. Rylee J. McCollum, 20, of Jackson, WY; Marine Lance Cpl. Dylan R. Merola, 20, of Rancho Cucamonga, CA; Marine Lance Cpl. Kareem M. See HOCKEY page 19...

Heavy Crane Arrives at PNS from Washington State! KITTERY Portal Crane 79 (PC-79), a heavy lift portal crane arrived at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard by barge on February 11 from Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility (PSNS & IMF) in Washington state. While PNS received a brand new heavy lift portal crane, PC-38, affectionately known as “Big Blue” in June 2021, it still needs months of production work to demonstrate its reliability

respectively. PC-79 was originally procured by the Charleston Naval Shipyard, in Charleston, S.C. When Charleston and Mare Island were closed in the 1990s, PC-79 was sent to PSNS & IMF, while Mare Island’s crane made its way to Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard, where it resides today. “We welcome PC-79 back to the east coast after her tour at

Puget Sound Naval Shipyard,” said Shipyard Commander, Captain Michael Oberdorf. “The addition of this crane increases our lifting capacity to support future submarine availabilities so we can keep our nation’s submarines where they belong – at sea as the pointed end of the spear.” PC-79 weighs 2.2 million pounds and has a lifting capacity

of 171.5 tons. The journey from PSNS & IMF to PNS took approximately 80 days to complete after multiple weather delays. PC-79, along with PC-38, are integral to future maintenance work planned for PNS. Prior to the arrival of these two heavy lift cranes, Portsmouth’s portal crane lifting capacity was limited to 60 tons. Portsmouth Naval Shipyard is America’s leader for attack submarine maintenance, repair, and modernization. The on-time completion of submarine availabilities is critical to maintaining the U.S. See CRANE page 3...

Why Do We Celebrate Presidents’ Day? NATIONWIDE Presidents’ Day is a federal holiday celebrated each year on the third Monday in February. The holiday was originally established in 1885 to recognize George Washington, but after it was moved as part of the Uniform Monday Holiday Act to create more three-day weekends for the nation’s workers in 1971, it became known as a day to cel-

before being fully utilized. “Receiving PC-79 increases our capabilities as a shipyard and will serve as a back-up heavy lift crane to PC-38 once all certifications are complete,” said Project Manager Jason Jordan. “PC-79 provides redundancy to ensure we can perform scheduled maintenance and certifications on one crane while the other is available for lifts. Personnel from across the NAVSEA Corporation have agreed to assist PNS in our initial servicing, truly making this a team effort.” PC-79 was built under the same contract as two sister cranes, PC-78 and PC-77, which were sent to PSNS & IMF and Mare Island,

Berwick ALA Honors Chaplains in Annual Ceremony BERWICK At the February meeting of the Charles S. Hatch Unit 79 American Legion Auxiliary remembers the Four Military Chaplains who gave the ultimate sacrifice by having a ceremony in their honor. As the Ladies read about each Chaplain a candle was lit in their memory as they stood behind the empty chairs with their pictures on it.

On February 3, 1943, the U.S. troop transport S.S. Dorchester was torpedoed off of Greenland in the early hours of the morning. There were 900 men sleeping. In the middle of the chaos, the four Army Chaplains, John P. Washington, a Roman Catholic Priest; Alexander D. Good, a Rabbi; First Lts. Clark V. Poling, a minster; and George L. Fox, a minster, were quick to

react. They passed out life jackets until all were gone, and then gave the ones that they were wearing to men who didn’t have one. In less than half an hour the S.S. Dorchester disappeared beneath the waves taking 600 men with her, but because of the brave actions of the four chaplains 200 men’s lives were saved. Remaining on the deck the four chaplains linked arms together, sang and prayed as survivors watched them vanish into the sea. Chaplain Poling’s father, himself serving in North Africa at the time, received word of their noble acts and was inspired to erect a Chapel dedicated to their memory. The chapel of the Four

~ Arts & Entertainment ~ Lecture on Maine’s Black History SOUTH BERWICK Old Berwick Historical Society will present a lecture by journalist Bob Greene about Maine’s Black History on Thursday, February 24, at 7:30 p.m. at Berwick Academy in the Dining Commons (not in the traditional theater space). It is frequently said that Maine is the whitest state in America. Yet, Black people have

a long history in the Pine Tree State. The first Black person that we know the name of was here some 12 years before the Pilgrims arrived at Plymouth Rock. Maine’s first doctor may have been a Black man. The nation’s first Black lawyer passed the bar and began practicing in Portland. Yes, Maine had slaves. But it also had Black builders, farmers, fishermen, ship cap-

ARA Presents “Undoing Injustice Through DNA Evidence” SEACOAST The Active Retirement Association (ARA) of the Greater Seacoast is pleased to announce a free Zoom presentation by UNH law professor Albert Scherr on The Innocence Project at 10 a.m. on February 23. Founded in 1992, The Innocence Project seeks to exonerate the wrongly convicted through DNA testing and to reform the criminal justice system to prevent future injustice. Professor Scherr, currently Chair of the International Criminal Law and Justice Program at the Franklin Pierce School of Law at UNH, is a nationally recognized authority on forensic DNA evidence. To register for this free presentation, send email to seacoastara@ gmail.com. Please include your name, the program title, “The Innocence Project,” and the name of your city or town. Professor Scherr brings an extensive background to The Innocence Project as he has more than 20 years of experience as a trial and appellate lawyer, having handled more than 40 homicide, robbery, and sexual assault cases with a focus on determining the admissibility of forensic DNA evidence. In addition to teaching several law courses and directing the Trial Advocacy Program at UNH, he also authored the New Hampshire Bail Reform

Act and has been involved with the ACLU at both the state and national levels. He even has time to serve as the newly elected police commissioner for the city of Portsmouth, NH! The ARA is an organization for people ages 50 and over, whether retired or not. Originally begun by and affiliated with UNH, it has nearly 400 members from Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and beyond.

~ Ask The Computer Pro ~ Dear Computer Pro, I keep getting emails from various places that warn me about fraud emails and “phishing” and I have no idea how to tell the difference between the two! I own a small business and do not want to risk getting hacked. How can I tell if an email is legitimate or not? Also, is there a way to reduce the number of junk emails I receive? If so, that would certainly help, I would think!! Thank you for your help! Josh Dear Josh, Junk email, spam, and phishing are all HUGE problems today for both home users and small businesses alike. To give you an idea of just how bad it is, here are a few staggering statistics and predictions: In 2021, a business falls victim to ransomware; Identity theft cost US citizens nearly $15 billion each year; It is estimated that cybercrimes result in $6 trillion in annual losses across the globe. What is the most common

denominator in most successful breaches? Ninety-four percent of all cyberattacks began with a bogus email. For the home user, the best thing you can do is make sure you are using a well-known security suite with a solid reputation and, in my opinion, one that is based in the USA. For myself and my clients, that’s Webroot. Webroot’s SecureAnywhere® Internet Security Complete (https://amzn.to/3Jr23qX) is affordable and offers superior protection compared to most other offerings. Unfortunately, regardless of the security suite that you may utilize, dangerous emails can still get through. You must still look at all emails closely and be alert before clicking on any links. A good rule of thumb is to NEVER click on ANY links within an email. If you get an email with a link to a site such as Netflix, rather than clicking on that link, simply open a web browser and go directly to that company’s website to login. This way, you

know you are not going to a link that does not actually take you to the company website. Another tip would be to enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) or two-factor authentication (2FA) on any site that supports it (see other reader’s question about MFA/2FA for more info). For small businesses, there are more options. More businesses are moving to the cloud which makes keeping email secure even easier. My recommendation to any business user is to work with an IT professional to move all your email to the Microsoft 365 environment and route inbound email through an email security gateway such as AppRiver’s Email Threat Protection or Barracuda’s Email Security Gateway. Though no one thing is ever 100% effective, adding this layer of protection along with Microsoft’s own security protocols, a local security suite on computers and servers, and some general cyber security training for your end users (check

out www.sans.org), you are going to mitigate the risk of a successful attack exponentially! I hope this helps! Good luck, Matt Dear Computer Pro, I am seeing more websites that I log in to ask me to setup MFA or 2FA. What is this, exactly, and how safe is it? Thanks, Sue Dear Sue, Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) or Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is just a fancy term for adding another level of security to your online accounts. Think of your username and password as Single-Factor

Authentication (SFA). You have one set of credentials, typically a username or email address with a password. If anyone can gain access to this credential pair, they will have access to your account. With 2FA, we add another level of security by adding a dynamic password that either gets sent to you via text or email or, more commonly today, via the use of an authenticator app on our mobile device. I do not like using email for MFA unless it is the only supported method as it is common for an attacker to See COMPUTERS page 18...

~ Pets ~ Safe Haven Humane Society WELLS We are excited to announce that our beloved Nicholas is ready for adoption! Remember Nicholas, the stray kitty found with two broken legs? He was slated to be euthanized after a three day “stray hold” if unclaimed at

a medical facility. Except he was rescued by Safe Haven Humane Society right around Christmas time, hence the name, Nicholas. We immediately took Nicholas to a certified veterinary surgeon. He performed the needed surgery for about half the $9,000 fee we were originally quoted to save him. After surgery, Nicholas had to endure several weeks of confinement in a small tent/ playpen while his legs healed. It

has certainly paid off – Nicholas’ last checkup showed he is fully recovered and ready to be adopted! Less than a year old, this beautiful longhaired silver-gray goofball lives totally in the moment. He loves to run, play, jump, and run some more. He’s been known to leap onto a volunteer’s shoulder. Nicholas loves people. He loves your attention. Actually, he demands your attention all the time and even follows you from room to room. He’d be a great kitty to teach tricks to. Anyone interested in adopting him must understand that this

boy needs a home that will keep him safely busy and entertained. We think he might be good with older children, and might be thrilled to have a well behaved, playful dog friend. His family must be quick-footed, clear-minded, ready for anything, and flexible in both mind and body to withstand Nicholas’ famous flying squirrel shoulder jumping tricks. Are you that person? Apply at www.safehavenhumanesoci-

International Boost Self Esteem Month STATEWIDE Dr. Teralyn Sell, Psychotherapist and brain health expert, offers ways to work on boosting self-esteem while promoting selfworth/love this month. Tactic #1: Practice saying no. Often people with self esteem issues struggle with saying no. Practicing saying no to smaller things, will allow you to find your voice to say no to bigger things. Tactic #2: Start each day with positive intention. Setting an intention and repeating it creates new neural pathways. Think

Sig Bo n O nu n s!

of something positive you are desiring about yourself and speak it out loud when you wake up in the morning. Don’t know what to say, start with something easy like, ‘I have confidence’. The intention needs to be positive and stated as if it’s happening right now. Tactic #3: Say yes to things you want. As important as it is to set boundaries and say no, it’s just as important to say yes to more things. Often a lack of confidence will prevent us from doing things we want making us more of a sideline observer. Instead work on saying yes to small things that allow you to become an active participant in your life. Tactic #4: Wear clothes that feel great. If you feel uncomfortable in your own skin, work on

KENNEBUNK The Brick Store Museum is continuing its focus on mental health using its historic archives in its Winter Discussion Series sponsored by the Maine Humanities Council.

Each session will take place at 6 p.m. on March 10, April 14, May 12, and June 9 and will feature archival texts as well as a companion text, with discussion led by trained facilitator Dr. Lacey Sparks, Assistant Professor of History at USM.

Health Emergency Dislocated Worker Grant – bringing the total funding from the program to $6,281,891 over the last two years. This funding from the U.S. Department of Labor will support training, employment services, and disaster-relief jobs in Maine communities affected by the health and economic impacts of the opioid epidemic, allowing individuals who have struggled with substance abuse disorders to find good, sustainable employment that can help save lives. The funding comes as the state sees a spike in overdose fatalities due to challenges created by the ongoing pandemic and the rising danger of fentanyl-laced drugs. “In response to this worsening crisis, we must improve the resources and support available for people struggling with substance abuse. This important funding from the U.S. Department of Labor will help the most hard-hit communities across our state address the crisis, and give Mainers recovering from substance use disorders access to life-changing job programs.

Health & Fitness Schools Join "Finding Our Voices" to Break The Silence of Dating Abuse STATEWIDE High schools from York to Caribou are bringing the bold, survivor-powered outreach of “Finding Our Voices” to their students starting in February’s Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention Month. Finding Our Voices is marking its three-year anniversary on Valentine’s Day with its posters and bookmarks going out to more than 25,000 Maine teenagers in 100 high schools and tech schools in the first phase of this statewide school initiative. The print material features the faces and voices of 41 named, Maine survivors of domestic abuse aged 18 to 81 and including Maine Governor Janet T. Mills. At many of the schools, it will be students putting the posters up in their school’s hallways, offices, classrooms and bathrooms. Patrisha McLean, founder/president of the grassroots, Maine-based nonprofit said Valentine’s Day is perfect timing for bringing its groundbreaking and award-winning domestic abuse-awareness campaign to teenagers: “Some of the survivors on our posters were 14 or 15 when they met the intimate partner who terrorized them and their children for decades.” “We are partnering with Maine schools to relay the message that love is not grand ...OPIOID from page 10 provide a helping hand to those in need, and distribute these critical funds over the last two years,” said Senators Collins and King. This grant, awarded by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Employment and Training Administration, is the last allocation of a $6,281,891 million National Health Emergency Dislocated Worker Grant awarded to the state in February 2020 to create temporary disaster-relief employment to address the crisis. The funding will also support employment and training services for people directly impacted by the crisis to prepare them for self-sustaining jobs. Supported by the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act of 2014, Opioid Disaster Recovery Dislocated Worker Grants fund temporary employment opportunities in peer recovery positions and services to reintegrate workers affected by the opioid crisis back into the workforce.

romantic gestures and flowery words but rather respecting and valuing your intimate partner. The first step to recognizing, avoiding, and escaping and healing from, dangerous relationships is talking about it, and I applaud every one of the school staff members and administrators making our survivorpowered outreach part of this conversation.” Each participating high school will also receive a Finding Our Voices dating-safety curriculum based around the real-life experiences of Maine women who were trapped with angry and controlling intimate partners. There is no charge for this material thanks to a generous grant from Camden National Bank, which is sponsoring the 2022 Finding Our Voices school outreach. At Sc a rborou g h H ig h School, the Finding Our Voices

material is augmenting a multidimensional Teen Dating project spearheaded by Social Workers Elise Lehotsky and Jaclyn D’Annibale. Lehotsky said the personal stories of Finding Our Voices survivors “will empower students and staff to share their witness or experience of relationship abuse and help everyone recognize behaviors that are unsafe, unkind, and unacceptable.” Survivors from Finding Our Voices are also leading conversations in various schools throughout the year about what is love and what is not love, with a local survivor often joining the presentation. Finding Our Voices volunteers are powering this school initiative, with the goal of shining a survivor-light on domestic/dating abuse in every high school, tech school, college, university, and adult ed program in Maine.

In addition to breaking the silence of domestic abuse community to community all around Maine, Finding Our Voices pro-

vides an array of sister-support services. For more information about the school initiative or its other projects and services, email Patrisha McLean at hello@findingourvoices.net or visit www.findingourvoices.net.

FINANCE & CAREER February 21-28 Maine Unclaimed Property Week AUGUSTA M a i ne Tre a s u re r, Henry E.M. Beck announced that Governor Janet Mills has officially declared February 21-28, Maine Unclaimed Property Week through a proclamation put

forward by the Maine Office of the State Treasurer (OST). The proclamation builds on the National Association of State Treasurers (NAST) celebration of National Unclaimed Property Day on February 1 and coincides with a telethon during Maine

Unclaimed Property Week. OST manages Maine’s unclaimed property program. Unclaimed Property consists of money and other financial assets that are considered lost or abandoned when an owner cannot be located after a specified period of time of inactivity. It includes items such as bank accounts, uncashed checks, life insurance policies, unpaid wages, stocks and dividends, refunds, and safe deposit box contents. Unclaimed

Property does not include real estate, animals or vehicles. Each and every year, tens of millions of dollars go unclaimed by Maine residents. These financial assets are turned over by thousands of national and local businesses and organizations by a law called MRSA Title 33, Chapter 45: Maine Revised Unclaimed Property Act. The Treasurer’s office holds these assets, free of charge, until claimed by the owner or heir.

The State is currently holding over $292,000,000 in unclaimed property. In the month of December alone, 3,001 claims were made against unclaimed property totaling $1,572,332.99. Treasurer Beck said of the proclamation, “Maine continues to play a leading role among states in reuniting people with their unclaimed property” ... “The Governor’s proclamation recognizes and amplifies our commitment to the process, providing us a perfect launching pad for increasing awareness of unclaimed property in Maine.” Unc l a i me d P r o p e r t y Statistics: Total properties on website - 905,000 property listings; Total amount of the UP fund - $292 million; Total amount of funds received this year - $22.2 Million; Largest property available to claim $427,000; Average paid claim amount - $585.

Suzanne Denise Goucher, 67 MANCHESTER – A remarkable woman left this world way too early on January 19, 2022, following a brief illness. The youngest of five children, she was born Suzanne Denise Goucher in Lewiston to John and Mary Goucher on March 8, 1954. She was the loving wife of Charles Colegrove for 37 years. They made their home in Manchester. For 28 years, Suzanne was the president and CEO of the Maine Association of Broadcasters (MAB), starting there as a part-time executive director and their only staffer. During her

MCINTIRE-MCCOOEY FUNERAL HOME

tenure, MAB amassed a healthy reserve fund and won several important legislative and regulatory battles. Prior to joining MAB, Suzanne was the News Director at WFAU-AM and WKCGFM, Augusta. She also served as co-chair of the Maine Business Association Roundtable, and as president of the Maine Freedom of Information Coalition. She was a member of the Right to Know Advisory Committee, a state panel that works on FOI/FOA issues. She once said, “Every step our government takes toward confidentiality is a step away from freedom.” Suzanne also served on a subcommittee of the FCC’s Communication Security Reliability and Interoperability Council. A highly respected and beloved leader among broadcasters nationally, she was the former president of the National Alliance of State Broadcasters Associations (NASBA) and a nationally recognized expert on the Emergency Alert System (EAS) and the Amber Alert Program. At the time of her death, she was serving as chair of NASBA’s EAS Committee, and had testified on EAS and the Integrated Public Alert and Warning System in front of two Congressional com-

mittees. All of her efforts developing the alert systems were made to assure the safety of Americans by providing the information they needed when they needed it. A graduate of Marshwood High School in Eliot, she was among the first women to attend Babson College where she received her BA in Economics and Communication, as well as a certificate from the Publishing Laboratory at Sarah Lawrence College. In her earlier years, she was a freelance writer, script writer, producer, and on-camera talent. She was the CEO of the Executive/Legislative Nomination Committee of the General Assembly in Hartford, CT. As assistant to the editor in chief at AVI Publishing Co., she coordinated production from manuscripts to finished books. Suzanne was production supervisor and writer/ editor at the Brooks Community papers in Westport, CT, including the Fairfield Citizen News. All of these accomplishments aside, she loved to cook, garden, and travel, was so much fun, and one of the most loving, generous, and kind individuals to walk the face of the earth. She made each and every one of her friends and colleagues feel special. As one of her dearest friends said, “Suzanne was the best friend in the world. While there is no award for that, those who loved her and were beneficiaries of her love and friendship were the ones who got the awards. She loved completely. She would literally do anything for those she cared about. I could give exam-

ples but they don’t compare to the true generosity of spirit Suzanne had.” Suzanne had a collector’s eye, her love of history and antiques serving her well as the caretaker of the SaywardWheeler house in York Harbor with her husband Chuck in the mid-1980s. As a lover of music, she always arrived with a song in her heart and a refrain on her lips. She was at one point the only female tenor in the Sweet Adelines Royal River Chorus, and for years thoroughly enjoyed her spring and winter concert performances with the CODA Chorus in Winthrop. As the first voice of the Sea Dogs baseball team, she called the Portland games from the grandstand and reveled in leading the crowd in rousing renditions of “Take Me Out to the Ballgame”. From barbershop bebopping to harmonizing with her family at the kitchen sink, she could easily have been the long lost fourth Andrew Sister, a true Boogie Woogie Bugle boy of Company B! “She was so damn funny,” said one of her besties. Her distinctive laugh, her declaration at every gathering that she WAS the par-tayyy, and her repertoire of B-Movie quotes was only marginally surpassed by her comedic timing and her pitch perfect impression of Madeline Kahn as Lili Von Shtupp. And if you were ever given a chance to be on her Trivial Pursuit team, you took it! An avid golfer, she played the course twice at St. Andrews in Scotland – a life-long dream.

A leader in everything she did, she was chair of the Turner Highlands Ladies League and their resident expert on game rules. She was publicity chair for the commissioning of the USS Maine in Kittery in 1995. Suzanne’s coverage of that 11-day event brought thousands of people out to line the banks of the Piscataqua River to welcome the State of Maine’s Trident submarine. She also founded the Maine Chapter of the Sweet Potato Queens, called the Maritime Maidens. The group once travelled to Jackson, MS, for the Sweet Potato Queens’ annual celebration of all things sweet and girly. Suzanne was preceded in death by her sister Mary Macomber and her brother John Goucher Jr. The nation is mourning her loss. She is survived and sorely missed by her husband Chuck, his daughter Charlyn and husband Garry, and his grandsons, Charlie and Allen; her sisters, Sally McKay of Amesbury, MA, and Cathy Goodwin and husband Mike of Eliot; brotherin-law Mac Macomber of Coral Springs, FL; and nieces and nephews, Fran Reilly and her daughters Samantha and Rowan of Coral Springs, Keith Macomber and his daughter Regan of Coral Springs, Ali, Ben, and Carole Goodwin of Eliot, Gabby Goodwin and her son Drew of Holderness, NH, Ian and Graham McKay of Amesbury, MA, Molly and Dean Jewett See GOUCHER page 20...

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.
