Pratt & Whitney Adds Capabilities to North Berwick NORTH BERWICK Pratt & Whitney, a division of Raytheon Technologies Corp. (NYSE: RTX) announced it will invest $12.5 million into its North Berwick facility, expanding its Pratt & Whitney GTFTM maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) network. North Berwick will perform maintenance on high pressure turbine and high pressure compressor modules for the PW1100G-JM engine.

“We’re committed to the continued capability expansion of the network and continue to pursue all opportunities to better support our customer

base,” said Joe Sylvestro, vice president of Aftermarket Operations at Pratt & Whitney. “By tapping into the expertise and experience of our North

Berwick team, we’re excited to further strengthen our MRO capability.” This investment bolsters Pratt & Whitney’s global GTF MRO Network and accelerates growth by utilizing the facility’s already existing expertise. The addition of GTF high pressure turbine and high pressure compressor module maintenance at North Berwick benefits GTF operators by reduction of leadtime associated to compressor upgrade and repair.

“The addition of North Berwick enables us to improve turnaround time and strengthens our ability to serve customers,” said Rob Griffiths, vice president, GTF Operations and Industrial Management. The transformation will consist of upgrades to the current space, increasing efficiencies to help minimize disruption to the current flow of operations and allowing for a seamless transition as the facility takes on a new role.

Voting and Bond Information for Upcoming Election STATEWIDE The State Primary and Special Referendum Election will be held on Tuesday, July 14.

With so much happening in the world around us, voting is more important now than ever, and it’s important to know both what’s on your ballot and how to vote in the midst of a pandemic.

Innkeepers Decry COVID-19 Test Rule as Unworkable

OGUNQUIT Alarmed at the prospect of a disastrous summer 2020 travel season, a group of frustrated innkeepers gathered Monday to challenge the governor’s restrictions for out-of-state guests. At a press conference at the Meadowmere Resort, they protested Gov. Mills’ rule that guests (from all states except Vermont and New Hampshire) receive a negative COVID-19 test 72 hours before they check into a hotel, inn or B&B. Calling it unworkable, expensive and most importantly —unattainable — they demanded it be lifted. “Our lodging members are telling us ‘we can’t survive,’” said Greg Dugal, government affairs officer for HospitalityMaine. “This is the only state with these Draconian measures put upon

one industry.” And with neighboring destinations such as Cape Cod accepting guests test free, they fear that dwindling crowds might be here to stay. “Many have indicated that since Maine doesn’t want them, they are headed to Cape Cod or New Hampshire,” said Jean Ginn Marvin, owner of the Nonantum Resort in Kennebunkport, where occupancy rates in June are a fraction of what they were last year. “One of my concerns with this scenario is that in future years people will head back to their new favorite vacation spot because that spot was so welcoming this year when Maine wasn’t.” Tired of hearing guests lament that tests are hard to come by, innkeepers took matters into

their own hands. The group conducted a grassroots COVID-19 testing survey in popular Maine drive markets. Results revealed that in 10 states, from Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey to Pennsylvania, more than 9 out of 10 test requests were refused. As the only business sector in the state requiring negative results from visitors, innkeepers feel targeted and unfairly singled out. Fear that this season will be wiped out, they are challenging the rule. “More and more families are dismayed at the testing requirement that they cannot achieve and are concerned that Maine may no longer be the way life should be,” said Allyson Cavaretta, owner of the Meadowmere Resort. “With the economic impact these hurdles are having, six figure losses already, they may end up being quite right. We must be given a real chance to succeed. Our communities are counting on us to support them.” And the loss is palpable. In June alone, the Cliff House, a See TESTS page 3...

Name of Redevelopment Project in Berwick Announced BERWICK Great Falls Construction unveiled the naming and branding components of their redevelopment of the Prime Tanning Mill site during one of their regularly scheduled update meetings. The 11 acre redevelopment site is located at 20 and 34 Sullivan Street in downtown Berwick, just across from the Salmon Falls River, which separates Maine and New Hampshire. “‘The Edge at Berwick’ speaks to the unique location of the site, on the edge of the town, the state, and the river,” commented Great Falls Vice President Cindy Smith. Smith worked with local designer Tyler Eldridge to create the marketing and branding program for the project. “The logo for The Edge at Berwick is built from the DNA of the town’s history and refreshed with a new light and optimism to carry it forward into the future,” noted Eldridge. Great Falls has also contracted Sebago Technics to handle civil engineering for the site. Great Falls is currently working on a draft site plan, which they hope to share with the public in an informal setting later this summer. Great Falls President Jon Smith plans to update the public in an informal presentation before any planning board hearings, “We heard a lot from the public at the listening sessions we held last fall,

and look forward to sharing our ideas in the months ahead.” Great Falls also plans to renovate the duplex at 27 School Street which they acquired in the purchase of the site. They see residential use of the building to be most appropriate and in-character with the neighboring homes. Residents can expect to see building repairs and landscaping improvements beginning soon at 27 School Street.

Officials Participate in Trail Reopening at Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge WASHINGTON, D.C. U.S. Senator Susan Collins joined U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (FWS) Director Aurelia Skipwith in visiting the Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge (RCNWR) in Wells this week to reopen the Carson Trail. Collins, Skipwith, and other state and local leaders provided remarks during the celebration. “Fifty years ago, this refuge was renamed to honor Rachel Carson, a remarkable woman

who used her intellect, knowledge, and commitment to change the way we look at the natural world and our responsibilities to it. It now serves as a beautiful and powerful reminder that nature’s gifts are not to be taken for granted; they must be cherished, nurtured, and protected,” said Senator Collins. “Increasing public access and opportunities for wildlifedependent recreation has been a priority for this Administration

reduce the $2.8 million in deferred maintenance at RCNWR. The Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge, named after a world-renowned marine biologist, author, and environmentalist who served as an aquatic biologist and editor-inchief for the FWS, was estab-

lished in 1966 in cooperation with the State of Maine to protect valuable salt marshes and estuaries for migratory birds. Located along 50 miles of coastline in York and Cumberland counties, the refuge consists of eleven divisions between Kittery and Cape Elizabeth.

...TESTS from page 2 luxury resort few miles away, saw $3.5 million in revenue dry up. “Every day that is lost due to the toughest travel restrictions in the continental U.S. is a sad day filled with continued loss of jobs, homes, businesses, and livelihoods,” said Nancy White, Cliff House managing director. “The decisions made today will impact generations of Maine families to come. Lift the quarantine and the testing and allow Maine to flourish, not diminish.” Since the beginning of June, the Nonantum Resort in Kennebunkport took more than 1,000 cancellations, mostly from residents of Massachusetts, New York and New Jersey, said Ginn Marvin. They have gone from 200 staff members in a normal season to 20 managers performing all jobs. General Manager Tina Hewett-Gordon is waitressing in their outdoor dining room, bussing tables, and hostessing every night. If the testing rule was repealed they could salvage the summer. “This puts the lodging

and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service from day one,” said Skipwith. “This is an historic win for conservation and for public lands in Maine.” This week, the U.S. Senate passed the Great American Outdoors Act, a bipartisan bill cosponsored by Senator Collins to permanently fund the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) at $900 million per year. Over the last five decades, Maine has received more than $191 million in funding from LWCF, including more than $23 million for RCNWR. The Great American Outdoors Act will also address the multi-billion dollar deferred maintenance backlog at our national parks, wildlife refuges, and forests, which will help

industry in a position to fail right out of the gate,” said Dugal. Check out this week’s health section to learn more about the Certificate of Compliance Form for Lodging Guests.

Reopening of Indoor Bar Service Postponed in Maine AUGUSTA The Mills Administration announced that it is postponing the reopening of indoor service at bars to protect public health given the higher risk of COVID19 transmission in such settings. Under the Administration’s Restarting Maine’s Economy plan, bars across Maine have been able to reopen for outdoor service and were tentatively scheduled to resume indoor service on July 1 (Stage 3). However, given the elevated health risk presented by bars, along with major outbreaks in other states linked to the reopening of bars, the Administration is postponing indoor service until further notice. Bars can still provide outdoor seated service to

patrons, and the Bureau of Alcoholic Beverages and Lottery Operations will work closely and promptly with businesses to establish or expand their outside capacity. The Administration said last week that it was evaluating the reopening of indoor bar service. “This was a difficult but necessary decision given the increased public health risk and the outbreaks we have seen across the country associated with indoor service,” said Governor Mills. “While we believe this is the most prudent step to protect the health and safety of Maine people, we recognize that it will frustrate some businesses and patrons.

them open for outdoor service to the extent they may be able to do so. Meanwhile, we will continue to monitor the prevalence of this deadly virus and take whatever steps necessary to protect people as we continue the gradual reopening process.” Indoor service at bars presents a significantly elevated risk of COVID-19 transmission. Indoor service bars typically feature crowds often in close contact with one another often without tables or other ways of keeping people apart. Smaller spaces at many bars make physical distancing very difficult. Further, individuals may be less likely to wear face coverings at bars and, in some instances, may be speaking at a higher volume – both of which increase the risk of COVID-19 transmission. The action also follows recent reports of COVID-19 outbreaks linked to the reopening of bars in states like Florida, Texas, Louisiana, and Idaho. There are no other updates to Stage 3 at this time. As of now, Maine has reopened the majority of its economy under the Restarting Maine’s Economy plan. The Administration continues to monitor epidemiological data, including case trends, hospitalization rates, and reports of COVID-like symptoms, as well as health care readiness and capacity, to inform decisions about the reopening.

~ News ~ AARP Maine Responds to Executive Order on July 14 Primary Election PORTLAND AARP Maine State Director Lori Parham released a statement in response to the Governor’s Executive Order on the July 14 Primary and Referendum Election. “On behalf of our 230,000 members 50 and older across Maine we want to thank Governor Mills for clarifying the rules and processes for the July 14 election. During these uncertain times, AARP Maine

wants to ensure that every Maine voter has a safe, secure, and efficient way to cast their vote in the primary election.” The Order allows for important adjustments including: Changing the 21-day cutoff for mail and third-party registration to a 7-day cutoff; allowing secure drop boxes for returning ballots; and changing the deadline for clerks to give notice of early absentee processing from 60 to 21 days.

...VOTING from page 1 vote supports the bond, and a “no” vote opposes the bond. In addition to these bonds, there will be some elections and other votes to consider, you can get more information about the bond questions and what else to expect on the ballot by visiting the Maine Department of the Secretary of State’s website at www.maine. gov and checking out their “Upcoming Elections” section. Voting As Maine continues to manage the spread of the coronavirus and protect public health, all municipalities and polling places have received guidance from the Secretary of State to make sure people are staying spread out, booths are being sanitized and other precautions are being taken. Voters planning to vote in person are encouraged to

wear a mask and allot more time than usual. Absentee Voting To minimize interaction with others during the COVID19 public health pandemic, some voters may prefer voting by absentee ballot. Casting an absentee ballot is convenient and secure. Absentee ballots may be requested in writing, by phone, online, or in-person, up to and including the day of the election, without specifying a reason. However, if asking to receive a ballot by mail, please request it early enough to allow for postal mail delivery time – both to receive it and return it (2-5 days each way). The ballot needs to be returned via mail or to the town office by 8 p.m. on Election Day. More information can be found at www.maine.gov.

“The Order also allows for the suspension of requirements that Town Clerks facilitate absentee balloting through in-person visits to certain licensed facilities. AARP Maine will be monitoring this change closely to ensure that residents of Maine’s licensed long-term care facilities are given every opportunity to cast their vote in the primary election.” “As we look to the General Election in November, we urge the Secretary of State to consider additional procedures that will ensure a strong voter turnout while maintaining the health and safety of Maine residents. These include making online submission of voter

registration documents possible, mailing absentee ballots or request forms to all registered Maine voters, with return postage paid, and ensuring that voters are notified if their ballot is rejected because of a technical error so that they can be given the right to cure that

error. We look forward to continuing to work with the Secretary and his staff in the months ahead.” AARP Maine continues to urge Maine voters who are able to “Vote Safely - Vote from Home” by requesting an absentee ballot from the Secretary of State’s office or their local town clerk.

If this had been a typical school year, the All-State Band would have played in the All-State Music Festival at the University of Maine in Orono. This annual event also features orchestra, mixed chorus, and treble chorus performances. However, this year, as with so many other public events, the festival was canceled as a precautionary measure to avoid the spread of coronavirus. Fortunately, all was not lost as Roberts and the other student musicians selected were able to feature their musicianship by participating at a distance in the production of a virtual concert. Thanks to the MMEA, students were able to record their individual performances onto a common track to be assembled later for a special recording of what their concert performance might have sounded like had they been able to perform all together live before an audience. “Having the honor of qualifying for the Maine AllState Band feels amazing!” commented Roberts. “When I started playing the clarinet, I could have never expected to make it this far. Although participating in a virtual band was not the ideal experience I was hoping for, it was still worth it after all the hard work I had to put in to make it into such a band.” Larry Downing is the recently retired musical director at WHS. “He is the first WHS band member to be accepted in a number of years,” commented Downing about Roberts’ acceptance into the All-State Band. “It is certainly a major accomplishment to be accepted as a freshman.” Downing noted that Hunter was also active in marching band, jazz band, the WHS 2019 fall play, and the school’s annual spring musical for 2020 which was postponed. MMEA’s mission is to “promote and advance music education by providing a voice and venue for advocacy and advancement of music education in Maine.”

People and Business Profiles

Meet Joey Donnelly of The Gundalow Company SEACOAST York Harbor residents Joey and Carol Donnelly wear, and have worn, many different hats for The Gundalow Company, based out of Portsmouth, NH. For example, Joey is a founding Trustee and served as The Gundalow Company’s Chairman from 2002-2009. He currently serves on the Development Committee and as a ‘sometime’ crew member aboard the gundalow called Piscataqua. “Piscataqua happens to be the ‘yachtiest’ gundalow boat ever built. She provides a surprisingly serene sailing experience for all ages. But, more importantly, the Gundalow organization adds an historic and current richness and vibrancy to all ages throughout the community. Those connected with The Gundalow Company are a happy and positive group of people,” says Joey. Carol and Joey met as children summering in York Harbor and have always loved the water. They have two children (son and daughter) and four grandchildren. They wintered in Medfield, MA, on a small farm for 29 years, but 25 years ago they decided to make York Harbor their year-

round residence. Joey and Carol will celebrate their 58th wedding anniversary on June 30. For their 50th anniversary, they spent the month of June sailing off the coast of Maine aboard Kittiwake, their 30’ Maine-built Sabre Sloop, which they own with their daughter and son-in-law. Joey began his professional career at Price Waterhouse & Co. and became a CPA. From there he became Assistant Director of Development at Harvard Medical School and was subsequently promoted to Director of Development after less than two years. He later served as Deputy to the General Director, as well as Director of Resources & Development, at Massachusetts General Hospital. Joey earned his MBA degree from Babson where he would later serve as Vice President. He also holds a doctoral degree from Harvard Graduate School of Education. Joey is known is refer to an old military adage called the 7 P’s: “Proper Prior Planning Prevents Pathetically Poor Performance.” In addition to sailing and an interest in boats, Joey is a self-described ‘car nut,’ loves to cut and

split wood, and work with his tractor. Carol is an avid horticulturalist with a passion for her garden. Both Carol and Joey are deeply committed to their philanthropic interests. They have each served on various school and college boards: Carol on national, state-wide and local community, conservation, preservation and horticulture boards; Joey on regional and local boards involved with community, historic preservation, health care, and Maine’s working waterfront. Additionally, Joey is President of The Peabody Foundation in Boston, which provides grants to organizations dealing with crippling childhood diseases.

PNSY Receives FY19 CNO Safety Ashore Award PORTSMOUTH, NH / KITTERY Portsmouth Naval Shipyard (PNSY) is the winner of the fiscal year 2019 Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Award for Achievement in Safety Ashore in the large industrial activity category. Commander, Naval Safety Center, Rear Adm. Mark Leavitt, announced the winners of the CNO awards on April 22. The awards recognize outstanding support and significant contribution to Navy safety and occupational health. According to Leavitt, the winners excelled in the implementation of the safety management system, achievements in high velocity learning and other initiatives to reduce mishap trends and costs, and in demonstrating strong safety leadership. Additionally, they were the most innovative and enthusiastic in marketing safety and promoting a superior level of safety culture within their commands. “Winning this award speaks to the strong safety leadership from our Occupational

Safety and Health Department as well as the workforce’s efforts to embrace a superior level of safety culture within the command,” said Shipyard Commander, Captain Daniel Ettlich. “We must now challenge ourselves to remain committed to raising the bar with regard to safety by continually seeking improvements and minimizing risks.” Portsmouth earned recognition for reducing the number of total safety incidents and lost work days. The shipyard strengthened its safety culture by emphasizing individual ownership, responsibility and awareness that requires commitment at all levels of the Command. PNSY’s Total Case Incident Rate has successfully declined over the last three calendar years, with 2019 ending approximately 15 percent below the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) rate for the shipyard and repair industry. The shipyard’s strong foundation of uncompromising safety resulted in a 2019 Lost Workday Case Rate that is 47 percent below the BLS rate for the industry. Portsmouth Naval Shipyard

will now move on to compete in the Secretary of the Navy’s Safety Excellence Awards competition. 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. Navy’s maritime supe-

York County Shelter Receives Community Investment YORK COUNTY -

York County Shelter Programs has recently received a oneyear grant of $10,000 from United Way of York County. Half of the grant will go towards YCSP’s Food Pantry; the other half will be used for psychiatric services. York County Shelter Programs provides shelter to homeless individuals and families. Its comprehensive programs help people address the issues that led to homelessness. YCSP offers therapeutic support, substance abuse counseling, and job skills training.

County residents and that align with our strategic priority areas,” said United Way of York County President and CEO Barb Wentworth. “Those areas include providing the best start for our youngest children, increasing access to healthy foods for children and seniors, engaging youth in meaningful service, and meeting basic needs - all critical components of our collective efforts to build an even stronger York County.” For more information, visit www.yorkcountyshelterprograms.com or www.buildcommunity.org, or call 207-324-1137 or 207-985-3359.

~ School News ~ Catholic Schools to Reopen for In-School Learning PORTLAND The Office of Maine Catholic Schools is pleased to announce that schools will be open for inschool learning for the 2020-21 school year. Barring unforeseen developments, classes will be held five days a week with a full day schedule. Both before and after care at the schools will also reopen. “In conjunction with the Diocese of Portland, our administrative team has been and will continue planning for a safe and

efficient opening in the fall for our schools,” said Marianne Pelletier, superintendent of Maine Catholic Schools. “Following CDC guidelines for reopening schools, we are in the process of modifying our classrooms and facilities to successfully comply. Additional cleaning supplies have been ordered, and extra staff is being brought on to assist. We are confident that our schools’ health protocols and processes will keep our school environments as healthy and as safe as possible for all

members of our communities.” In March, Catholic schools, along with all public schools across Maine, closed their doors due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Two days later, Catholic schools in Maine successfully opened their virtual doors, providing a high-quality, distance learning program for all of their students across the state, efforts that were lauded by both school families and the wider community.

and her enthusiastic ambition to engage all students, every day in their study of middle school French. She is devoted to her students, to her colleagues near and far, to her professional organizations, and to her own growth. Also noted was her dedication to providing students with cultural experiences through an annual trip to Québec City. Her collaborative and communicative approach to language learning includes interactive lessons, hands on learning, playing games, and encouraging students to speak in the target language 100%. Carbonneau’s students traditionally score well and merit awards on Le Grand Concours French contest and her high school colleagues are always pleased with the students they receive from her classroom. FLAME believes Carbonneau inspires both her students and her colleagues in the state of Maine and has no doubts that she will continue to impact the profession at home and nationwide for many years to come. She will now represent Maine as it’s candidate at the North East Conference of Teaching of Foreign Languages.

BUSINESS & FINANCE Sen. Collins Presses for a Second PPP Loan

WASHINGTON, DC At the invitation of the Chairman and Ranking Member of the Senate Small Business Committee, U.S. Senator Susan Collins attended a hearing on the Paycheck Protection Program. Senator Collins raised the issue of small businesses reaching the end of their eight-week loan period and urged Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin to support a second round of forgivable PPP loans for industries that have been particularly hard-hit by COVID-19. She also received clarification from Secretary Mnuchin on when small businesses can begin applying for loan forgiveness.

Chairman Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Ranking Member Ben Cardin (D-MD) both welcomed Senator Collins in their opening remarks. Senators Collins, Rubio, and Cardin, along with Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), are the co-authors of the PPP. Senator Collins held up a Portland restaurant as an example: “It’s a woman-owned restaurant, a great place to eat. She writes: The PPP is the only thing that has kept us in business up to this point…There’s no question that without the PPP, we would not be operating right now and would have furloughed all of our staff. With that being said, we did just run

out last week. We now have curbside and only six outdoor tables, and we can only serve a maximum of 28 people a night. She writes that she lives in fear of a rainy night, in which case she can’t serve anybody at outside tables, and she says, ‘Without the state easing the restrictions on indoor seating, I just don’t see how we can continue much longer.’” Senator Collins noted that there is approximately $130 billion in unused PPP funds. She asked Secretary Mnuchin whether he would “support allowing small borrowers in heavily-affected sectors such as

the tourism industry that cannot fully reopen because of state restrictions to seek additional PPP funds – apply again, or extend perhaps for another four weeks – so that they can just make it through this period where they’re forced to be closed, because they are viable businesses.” Secretary Mnuchin responded, “I think that restaurants and hotels in particular do need more help. We’ve taken great pride in the bipartisan work, so if there is support from you in the committee in a bipartisan basis, we’re very seriously going to look at that issue.” Additionally, on behalf

of a number of business owners who have expressed confusion about when to apply for PPP loan forgiveness, Senator Collins asked Secretary Mnuchin whether small businesses must wait for the end of the 24 week duration of the loans. Secretary Mnuchin clarified that small businesses can begin applying for forgiveness as soon as they have used all of their funds. According to a survey by the U.S. Census Bureau, nearly 3 out of 4 Maine small businesses have received forgivable PPP loans, which is higher than the national average.

IRS Warns Against COVID-19 Fraud BOSTON The Internal Revenue Service today reminded taxpayers to guard against tax fraud and other related financial scams related to COVID-19. In the last few months, IRS Criminal Investigation (IRS-CI) has seen a variety of Economic Impact Payment (EIP) scams and other financial schemes

looking to take advantage of unsuspecting taxpayers. IRS-CI continues to work with law enforcement agencies domestically and abroad to educate taxpayers about these scams and investigate the criminals perpetrating them during this challenging time. “Criminals seize on every opportunity to exploit bad situations, and this pandemic is no exception,” said IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig. “The IRS is fully focused on protecting Americans while delivering Economic Impact Payments in record time. The pursuit of those who participate in COVID-19 related scams, intentionally abusing the programs intended to help millions of Americans during these uncertain times, will long remain a significant priority of both the IRS and IRSCI.” Criminals are continuing to use the COVID-19 Economic Impact Payments as cover for schemes to steal personal information and money. Scams related to COVID-19 are not limited to stealing EIPs from taxpayers, however. IRS-CI has already seen scams related to the organized selling of fake at-home test kits, offers to sell fake cures, vaccines, pills and advice on unproven treatments for COVID19. Other scams purport to sell large quantities of medical supplies through the creation of fake shops, websites, social media accounts and email addresses where the criminal fails to deliver promised supplies after receiving funds. “Criminals try to take advantage of our most vulnerable times and our most vulnerable populations. But because we have seen many of these criminals and schemes before, we

know how to find them and we know how to expose them,” said Don Fort, Chief of IRS Criminal Investigation. “And because COVID-19 is a global problem, it requires a global solution. Not only are we leveraging our financial investigative expertise domestically, we are working hand-in-hand with our J5 partners on those COVID-19 cases that cross borders. There truly is no place for criminals to hide.” Other COVID-19 related scams involve setting up fake charities soliciting donations for individuals, groups and areas affected by the disease. Some criminals are offering opportunities to invest early in companies working on a vaccine for the disease promising that the “company” will dramatically increase in value as a result. These promotions are often styled as “research reports,” make predictions of a specific “target price,” and relate to microcap stocks, or low-priced stocks issued by the smallest of companies with limited publicly available information. Finally, IRS-CI has also seen a tremendous increase in phishing schemes utilizing emails, letters, texts and links. These phishing schemes are using keywords such as “Corona Virus,” “COVID19”, and “Stimulus” in varying ways. These schemes are blasted to large numbers of people known by the bad actors in an effort to get personally identifying information or financial account information to include account numbers and passwords. Most of these new schemes are actively playing See FRAUD page 13...

BUSINESS & FINANCE CMP Announces Enhanced Service Guarantee AUGUSTA Rolling out an enhanced Customer Service Guarantee, Central Maine Power (CMP) announced that it will offer bill credits for late or inaccurate bills and missed appointments. “Being in a position to offer this enhanced guarantee is really a milestone for CMP,” said David Flanagan, Executive Chairman of CMP. “Through listening to our customers every day, we know some of them have lingering concerns about their bills. As we have fine-tuned our new SmartCare system, and carefully tracked customer bills, we are confident enough to put our money where our mouth is. As we continue to rebuild trust with customers, we are specifically guaranteeing that bills will be accurate and on time.” Effective this week, CMP will provide a $25 credit if a bill is late, or if the balance due is inaccurate. The company will also issue a $25 bill credit if it misses a scheduled service appointment without notifying

the customer at least four hours in advance. If a customer schedules a new service connection and CMP misses the scheduled connection date, the company will cover the delivery charge on the first month’s bill, up to $250. As of May, 99.94% of bills sent out since the beginning of 2020 were accurate and on time, surpassing the current, stringent requirements standards set by the Maine Public Utilities Commission. The company notes that the guarantee may be suspended during storms and emergencies, when the need to safely restore service overrides CMP’s other obligations. “We are holding ourselves accountable every day to continue to achieve these results,” Flanagan added. CMP has acknowledged challenges with timely bill delivery following the rollout of its new SmartCare customer information system in October 2017 and has taken a series of steps to improve customer service and rebuild customer trust.

WorkShare Alternative to Layoffs AUGUSTA The Maine State Chamber of Commerce hosted a free webinar recently with Maine Department of Labor Commissioner Laura Fortman and Deputy Commissioner Kim Smith on WorkShare. WorkShare is a program that allows employers to retain employees during slowdowns in lieu of layoffs by temporarily reducing work hours by 10-50%. To help offset the loss of income, affected workers can collect a partial, or modified, unemployment benefit. Webinar presenters discussed WorkShare eligibility requirements for employers and employees, the benefits of WorkShare, how employers can set up a WorkShare program, and more. Several factors determine an employer’s eligibility for

WorkShare. First, the reduction in hours must be temporary and not related to a seasonal or intermittent downturn. Employers must ensure employees’ hours are reduced by at least 10%, but not more that 50%. Additionally, the reduction in hours also must avoid a layoff of at least 10% of the workers in the affected unit for 2-6 months, affect a unit of the business that normally works on a full-time basis (and includes part-time workers who work a set consistent schedule), and include two or more participating employees. For an employee to be eligible to participate in WorkShare, they must work in an affected unit of the business, have earned enough wages in the last 18 months to meet the regular qualifications for state unem-

ployment benefits, and be able and available to work their normally scheduled hours for their employer. Benefits are paid on a percentage equal to the reduction in hours. For example, an employee who has lost 25% of their hours would receive 25% of their normal weekly unemployment benefit. Under WorkShare, employees currently will receive the $600 additional weekly payment through the Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation (FPUC) program, on top of partial regular unemployment. Employee unemployment benefits under WorkShare are not charged to the employer right now due to See WORK page 24...

$2.6 Million for Maine Head Start Programs WASHINGTON, D.C. U.S. Senators Susan Collins and Angus King announced that Maine Head Start programs have been awarded a total of $2,650,659 to support low-income families during the COVID-19 pandemic. This funding was awarded through the CARES Act. “During this public health crisis, Head Start programs throughout our state have continued to provide children with key educational tools and resources, as well as access to healthy meals and health screenings,” said Senators Collins and King in a joint statement. “We welcome this important investment in Maine families, ensuring that students continue to have the strong foundation they need to grow and succeed.” Head Start was established

in 1965 to promote school readiness and provide a comprehensive array of health, nutritional, and social services to eligible four-

and five-year-old preschoolers and their families. Head Start services include early learning, health, and family well-being.

Health & Fitness How Dental Ofﬁces Are Protecting Patients and Staff During Pandemic It’s not exactly business as usual for the dental industry – or patients – as offices reopen for routine care amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The outbreak of the virus has brought several changes, some of which may be permanent, in how dental offices protect their employees and patients. “Dentists have always prioritized safety, but now we’ve significantly ramped up our precautions and standard practices because we want both patients and workers to feel comfortable during a time of great uncertainty,” says Dr. Kyle Bogan (www.drkylebogan.com), a general dentist and speaker on workplace culture. Dr. Bogan points out some concerns of patients and dental staffs and new protocols being implemented as offices reopen: Pre-screening patients. The asymptomatic carrier of COVID-19 limits the effectiveness of pre-screening patients for the virus, but patients should be asked a range of relevant previsit questions on the phone. “Before patients come in, they need to be asked if they’ve had COVID-19 symptoms and, if so, if they’ve been tested.” Dr. Bogan says; Upon arrival, a new look. Dr. Bogan says that staff can allay patients’ fears by informing them of all the new safety procedures their office is taking. “Patients can expect to wait outside upon arriving for their appointment until summoned by the staff,” he says. And patients should have their temperature taken upon arrival. The office should be devoid of the usual magazines and toys, and hand sanitizer should be available.” Helping fearful employees. Dr. Bogan says it’s important to engage oral care workers about their concerns. “The person may be worried about contracting the virus from a patient or co-worker,” he says. Aerosols and protection. Most dental procedures create aerosols – sprays of saliva or blood from a patient’s mouth splashing into the air. Given ...MEALS from page 14 In time, YCSP hopes to offer meals five days a week as soon as the money is raised for the program. “Our neighbors are hurting right now more than ever and we knew we need to respond,” Gean-Gendron says.

the possibility of the virus being included in those particles, the attending staff around the patient should wear more personal protective equipment, and environmental upgrades also are advisable. Dr. Bogan says. “Some practices are installing plexiglass in the front office area, air-purification systems and ultraviolet lights to reduce exposure to aerosols.” Diligent hygiene and cleaning. “Dentists and hygienists should adhere strictly to hand hygiene measures,” Dr. Bogan says, “including before and after contact with patients, after contact with contaminated surfaces or equipment, and after removing PPE. Disposable gowns should be discarded in a dedicated waste container after use. Cloth isolation gowns should be laundered after each use. The staff will thoroughly clean patient treatment areas between appointments

with disinfectants.” “It’s important for people

AWS Offers Tips for Owners of Runaway Pets

KENNEBUNK Luna, an adoptable dog at AWS ran off during a walk recently. After 36 hours alone along the roadways and backyards of West Kennebunk, Luna came back to AWS on her own, uninjured. She is now safe and secure again in our Adoption Center and available for adoption. Luna’s story is not uncommon. A dog can slip its lead on a walk or if spooked, a cat can sneak out when the door is open or climb through a small open-

ing in a screen or window. One of AWS’ roles in our community is to provide a safe place and loving care for found pets. Last year alone, we reunited more than 250 pets with their owners. When you first notice your pet is missing, we recommend you file an official lost pet report with us. You can find the report at www.animalwelfaresociety. org/services/lost-and-found/. After you have filled out the form, we recommend the following: Call your local Animal Control Officer (ACO) through your town’s non-emergency police phone number. Many dogs and cats are quickly picked up by town Animal Control Officers or by concerned citizens and are brought to AWS. ACOs have 24/7 access to AWS so your pet will be safe indoors once dropped off. AWS Staff arrive by 8 a.m. and check for stray pets first thing. Dogs are held for 6 days, while cats are only held for 48 hours, as required by state law. After their hold period, pets

are prepared to go up for adoption; Submit a lost dog/cat report on Facebook to Maine Lost Dog Recovery/Maine Lost Cat Recovery; Make flyers for your neighborhood; Share your pet’s photo and information to your community’s local FB groups; If your pet is microchipped, call the company to report it lost. They may have resources to help. Microchipping is an easy and painless procedure that can be done in a few minutes at the vet. AWS’ Community Veterinary Clinic offers affordable microchipping appointments. Call 207-292-2424 to learn more. There is nothing that makes us happier than a reunion between a lost pet and its family. Here are some suggestions to help bring your pet home: Investigate every nook and cranny. Look behind, under, and inside washing machines, clothes dryers, stoves, refrigerators, dishwashers, in boxes,

under furniture, in closets, cabinets, shelves and bookcases. Outside, check drain pipes, sewer drains, culverts, under vehicles, spaces under a house, inside sheds and barns, etc. and in the case of cats, up in trees; Post flyers. Make your own or use the posters generated by Maine Lost Dog Recovery/ Maine Lost Cat Recovery; Gather clues. Ask everybody if they’ve seen or heard anything; Broadcast familiar noises. Have all family members call the pet’s name and make any other noises that your pet might recognize including “squeaky toys” or shake a box of the pet’s favorite treats; Use familiar smells. Place strong-scented articles outside your home to attract your pet. Place some of your dirty clothes outdoors; Lure them home with familiar friends. In warm weather, crate other family pets and place them outside in a safe and secure area. Make sure they have plenty of water and shade; Use a dog whistle to get

and cat toys are greatly needed. Bring them to our IGA Plaza thrift shop Thurs thru Sunday 11 a.m. - 4 p.m. Thank you so much! The mother cat and kittens we rescued from another local group that had tested positive for ringworm, suffered a setback this week. Two of the kittens ended up at the emergency vet with pneumonia. That bill was $2,500. It hit us very hard, since Safe Haven has been without an income for so many months. Ringworm testing just for the mama cat, Willow, and her kittens will cost us another $1,000 or more. Each kitty must be tested twice at $100 per test, and they’re a family of five. If you’re able to help us out with any size donation, we would sure appreciate it. We took in four more wee little orphaned kittens this week. As you can see, they’re adorable, tiny and helpless. We bottle fed them, but because of their tiny size (10-12 ounces) these babies needed a full-time foster momma. The photo shows only 3 because #4 was being bottle fed when the photo was taken. We are so grateful to our

experienced foster moms! They dedicate their days and nights to bottle feeding, cleaning little bottoms, and nurturing kittens so they grow up healthy and well adjusted socially. We really need more help to continue our No Kill mission. If you can, please volunteer a few hours a week to help out at our thrift shop or shelter. If not, how about helping us set up our new location and cat rooms. We also need donations of brooms and dust pans, trash bags, wide black magic markers, large trash cans and 33 gallon plastic bags, disinfectant wipes, hand sanitizer, whisk brooms or similar to clear tables and shelves, scrub brushes, dish towels, paper towels, gift cards to PetSmart, Walmart, Tractor Supply, Staples, Amazon, Chewy, etc. Thank you for all your help and stay well!

It’s also important to stop regularly and listen for your pet to make a noise in reply; Try to trap them. AWS can loan out humane traps to individuals trying to lure their pet home. This shouldn’t be used as a first resort, but only after the above suggestions have been tried and if there have been sightings; Find out if your pet has been killed on the road. This is a sad but necessary task. The road crews for your local and state department of transportation (DOT) usually pick up dead animals from the roadside and city streets.

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.

Virtual Four on the 4th Road Race

YORK York Parks & Recreation and York Rotary have made the decision to sponsor a virtual race in 2020. This is the 41st Annual Four on the 4th and for those not familiar, a virtual run means participants can run the four miles and self-report their time. Rather than a race day, participants have an entire week from

Saturday, June 26 to Saturday, July 4 to complete the four miles. This race is the newest member of the Seacoast Road Race Series and completing it will allow runners to work towards series swag. For more information and to register, go to www.yorkparksandrec.org. For questions, email Liz at lcooper@yorkmaine.org.

Virtual Reid’s Ride Offers Options STATEWIDE Participants in this year’s Reid’s Ride have plenty of options to exercise and help raise money to support the fight against Adolescent & Young Adult (AYA) cancer. Any activity will qualify whether it’s running, walking, spin-cycling, hiking, swimming, dancing, roller blading, and more, and any goal will do – 28 miles, 10 miles, 5 miles, 10 hours, 100 reps, 50 laps – Whatever works for you! Participants can also break up their goal into segments if they like – for ex-

ample, for a 28-mile bike ride, ride seven miles once a week for the next four weeks! Simply complete the activity by July 19 which was the original date for this year’s ride. Registration is free, and the fundraising minimum has been waived. However, all registrants are asked to make a donation of any amount. To register, go to www.firstgiving. com/event/Reidsride/ReidsRide_2020. For more information, email reidsride@cancerinyoungadults.org or visit www. reidsride.org.

Explore Maine This Summer STATEWIDE One of the best ways to pass the time during COVID19 is to get outside, while maintaining a six foot distance from others. Our coastal state parks are incredible places to visit. You can search for state parks

based on the region or activity at www.maine.gov as well as their fees and information on passes. If you like to fish, check out this year’s fish stocking report on www.maine.gov as well, as you decide where to head out on the water.

Berwick Youth Soccer Registration Open BERWICK Registration for the 32nd season of Berwick Youth Soccer Association (BYSA) is now open. The 2020 BYSA board is working hard to find the best way to have a season this fall. As we have all experienced in the last few months restrictions are always changing which will mean we will have to change with them. The kids want to play, the coaches want to coach, but the board cannot guarantee a 2020 season. This year families are encouraged to register and pay online. The process has been updated and will require each family to re-register with www. gotsports.com. If the season is ultimately cancelled, refunds will be offered. All registrations and fees must be received by August 1. Player registrations received after that will be placed on a waiting

list, until a spot is deemed open by the board members. Financial help in the form of scholarships is available. Email berwicksoccer@gmail.com with any questions. Please note there is a new medical health policy beginning this season. This is very similar to the MSAD60 health policy and is included on the online form. If recommended by the CDC, updates to the health policy will be emailed to each registered player. Soccer Maine is also working on a waiver form that will be required to be signed prior to the season. It will also be emailed to each player when it is available. On August 10-14 Challenger Sports will be hosting a soccer camp at the Berwick Rec Field. Full day and half day options are available. Sign up at www. challengersports.com/summercamps/. Also check out the Chal-

lenger Sports Facebook page for a free Facebook and Instagram Live soccer training schedule! Volunteers are still being sought for the 2020 season with any and all help welcome. Roles are not defined as of yet but the coaches and the board will need extra help, especially with disinfecting all equipment. Coaches are also needed and no experience is needed. Seasoned coaches will be available who can give advice and provide tools and support. In July there is the annual soccer camp. With the current gathering restriction of 50 people, an alternative plan is in development. Please see Facebook, or the website, www.berwicksoccer.com, for announcements. This is a great introduction to soccer for new players and a great opportunity for all BYSA players to work on their skills.

taking advantage of WorkShare can help them keep trained workers instead of having to institute layoffs, furloughs, or let employees go entirely. For employees, it can help them stay connected to their jobs and maintain their skills, while offsetting the loss of income with a partial unemployment benefit.” Employers interested in learning more should call WorkShare’s contact line at 207-623-6783. Key informa-

tion they will need when they call is the number of employees they would like to participate and percent reduction in work hours they propose. From start to finish, the application process generally takes 2-14 days. Once approved, participating employees are required to file WorkShare claims verified by their employer each week. A recording of the webinar can be found at www.mainechamber.org/webinar08.html.

...WORK from page 13 COVID-19 emergency legislation passed in mid-March that is in effect until one month after the end of the Governor’s declared civil emergency. “It is important that Maine employers and workers are aware of the benefits of WorkShare during a temporary slowdown like we are experiencing due to the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Maine Department of Labor Commissioner Laura Fortman. “For employers,

~ Ask The Computer Lady ~ Dear Computer Lady, What is the simplest way to get off Facebook? Thank you, Evelyn Dear Evelyn, The simplest way to get off Facebook is to just close your account. Here is how you do that: 1. Go to your Facebook page. 2. Click on the small arrow in the upper right of your page. 3. Click on “Settings & Privacy” in the drop down menu, then click on “Settings”. 4. Click on “Your Facebook Information” in the left column of the settings page. 5. Click on “Deactivation and Deletion” and follow the directions to finish the process.

Once you have closed your account, it will be gone, and if you want to use Facebook again in the future, you will have to create your account all over again. Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, Every column from you is highly enlightening to us. Hearing the news from you that Libre can open Microsoft Office Works file, which Microsoft Office even cannot, I have an inclination to know whether we can use Libre Office, along with Microsoft Office. Kindly enlighten me. With Respectful Regards, Randy Dear Randy, Yes, you can install and use LibreOffice on your computer

even if you have Microsoft Office installed on your computer. Simply open the program you want to use, then use the file menu to open the file you want to work on. You should be able to use LibreOffice to open your Works files, then save them in a format that will work with Microsoft Office as well. Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, I use gmail to send out email. Until this week I have been able to send out group emails as a bcc. Now gmail has stopped that saying there is too much spam using gmail. I’m a teacher and send out lessons using group emails and now I am unable to do that with gmail. Is there a way to still do it with gmail? When the emails come back it says use google groups to now send out group email. How do I create my group emails with google groups? Rosalee Dear Rosalee, Google Groups is a email list service like Yahoo Groups used to be before they closed. To access it go to https://groups. google.com/.

In the upper-left part of the page, click on “Create group”. In the first dialog box, create a name for your group, set up an email address and give your group a description. Click, “Next”. In the next dialog box, select your desired privacy settings. If you want to be the only one sending emails to the group, be sure to select “Group Owners” under “Who can post”. Click “Next”. Add members for your group, when you start typing, it will use your Google Contacts. Set up managers if desired and of course you will be the owner. Click, “Create Group”. Once you have finished, you will have a page for your group where you can add, remove, or bann users, and send out your messages, which will go to all the members. Elizabeth Dear Computer Lady, How do I get my computer to erase my spams and trash? Had these done but it no longer does it. I have windows 10 Hewlett Packard laptop and Yahoo.com. Carole Dear Carole,

If you access your email on yahoo.com, there are several ways to empty your Spam and Trash folders. First, you could simply right-click on the spam or trash folder, and click “Empty trash” or “Empty Spam”. You could also click on the folder you want to clean out, click on the very top check box (which will select all messages in the folder) then click on the “Delete” icon. If you want to set your Spam to automatically delete after a certain amount of time, click on the “Settings” icon in the upper-right corner of the window, then click, “Settings”. In the “Settings” dialog box, click on “Security” in the left column, then click the drop down list next to, “Delete spam older than” and select an amount of time. Click the “Save” button at the bottom of the dialog box to save your changes. Elizabeth Interested in learning more? Elizabeth has answered thousands of computer questions over the years.

How long in the business of real estate, and what led you to this career? 10 Years. Prior to real estate I had a successful career in the insurance and banking industries, which I attribute to acquiring many of the positive skills you need in real estate.

How long in the business of real estate, and what led you to this career? I’ve been in real estate for a little under three years. I previously worked in various senior management roles at several technology companies. In one of these roles, I had corporate real estate responsibility. In this role, I put together a lease deal for a new headquarters building which gave us the additional space we needed, reduced our lease expense by over $1 million per year, and since we were moving out of MA to NH, the 58% of the employees that were NH residents effectively received a 5% raise, as NH has no income tax. Everybody was a winner on this deal – we got a great new space, the landlord got a good tenant for 10 years, and the builder got a great contract!

I have a client-focused approach which include analysis, service, and results! What’s one thing most people don’t know about you and what’s a hidden talent?

What energizes you in real estate? Helping my clients reach their dreams of a new home. What advice would you give to your teenage self?

Three words friends use to describe you? Integrity, committed, dedicated.

LuAnn Neff | 207-450-4526 | luann@yorkmaine.com How long in the business of real estate, and what led you to this career? What energizes you in real estate? In 2002, I developed a successful rental division within a real estate agency. I became a licensed agent in 2005. Having been a business owner and in management for many years, this transition was a great choice for me as I love the ever-changing environment of meeting new people and facilitating their needs. What advice would you give to your teenage self? Wake up earlier! You may miss out on some pretty cool sunrises! Expect changes and roll with it. As my dad used to say, “You win some, you lose some… and you toss a coin for the rest.” One behavior or trait that you think most attributes to your success in real estate? I’m a born nurturer! I pay attention to details and take to heart every word a client has to say. It is not the quantity of sales, but the quality of service that matters most to me. What’s one thing most people don’t know about you and what’s a hidden talent? I have practiced Yoga for 14 years (and sometimes I’m doing a pose while speaking with a client on the phone). I’m a pretty good hula hooper! Best advice you were ever given? Treat others with respect, believe in yourself, and know that life will always change. Be open and positive. Three words friends use to describe you? Energetic, kind, generous.
