<p>DOVER-FOXCROFT -- Life has changed dramatically for families in the Piscataquis region, and around the globe.</p>
<p>“I get to get out of the house by myself, and that’s about as much celebrating as I’m doing today,” said Christi Pingree on April 2, her birthday, while picking up pre-ordered groceries. The couple, who will be married two years in June, have two children, Jarad Pingree’s son, Kieran, 9, and Christi’s daughter, Jelena, 9.</p>
<p>Pingree, a behavioral health professional, took a leave of absence when the school closed, even though she worries about her clients while she’s away. “My workplace is pretty understanding, and in my opinion, family comes first. I don’t want my kids shuffled around, especially at a scary time, an uncertain time. I want them to have stability, a strong routine. We do a whole school day and try to keep it as normal as possible,” she said.</p>
<p>Jelena enjoys being home schooled, but Kieran doesn’t like it as much and misses his friends, Pingree said. Finding materials hasn’t been an issue, as the school sends homework, coloring sheets, links to word searches and other educational games. Art projects are also available online. School begins right after breakfast.</p>
<p>“We do things in the same order every day,” said Pingree. “We knock out the hard stuff first, then go on to the easier things. If we can’t do recess, we do what I call movement – we put ‘Just Dance’ on the Wii to get all their wiggles out.”</p>
<p>Pingree said she “never aspired to be a homeschool or stay-at-home mom, and I was right! This is not for me. I only work when they are at school. I take them to the library once a week, and I’m at every sports thing, but I like to get out and work, and I like having my free days here and there, too.”</p>
<p><strong>Financial concerns and COVID fears</strong></p>
<p>Pingree was a little apprehensive when she took her leave of absence. Then they found out Jared would also not be working. Jarad just finished work as a background investigator. His new job, forensic analyst at the Maine State Police crime lab, is on hold.</p>
<p>“This is a little scarier because we don’t know how long this is going to go on for,” she said. “I don’t know if this will be a month or three months. I had heard with mortgage companies, if you needed to miss a payment or three, they would put it on the back end of the loan.” But when she called, she was told that they could take months off, but would owe back payments in addition to regular payments once they resumed.</p>
<p>Fortunately, the couple’s income tax refund arrived recently. “That was a load off,” Pingree said. “I felt like the timing was pretty darn good. I think we’ll be okay. We’ll be fine.”</p>
<p>Typically, Pingree shops at Sam’s Club and Walmart, supplementing with trips to Shaw’s and Will’s Shop n Save. Now, “I don’t want to go in anywhere. I pull in [at Walmart] and call and tell them I’m there, and they bring it out to the car. I don’t touch anything or talk to anyone. I wash my hands when I get home and I scrub everything down with antiseptic wipes, then I wash my hands again,” she said. Postage stamps are ordered online, as are photographs. Arrivals from Amazon get wiped down, too.</p>
<p>Pingree is also uncertain how safe takeout food might be. “Everyone decides how much risk they want to take. Everyone has their ideas, but to me, it’s just not worth it. I am perfectly capable of preparing our food. To me, better safe than sorry. That’s just my personality.” </p>
<p><strong>Mental health matters</strong></p>
<p>Talking to the kids about what’s going on can be tricky, Pingree said. “I don’t want to lie to them that it’s all sunshine and rainbows, but I don’t want to scare them, either. We tell them that everything is going to be okay, that we are doing everything we can to protect ourselves, and just following [recommendations] to keep ourselves healthy.”</p>
<p>Pingree, who works part time, misses having a few hours to herself while the kids are in school. “I really, really miss having time to myself one or twice a week,” she said. Fortunately, her husband helps her carve out a couple of hours to watch TV by herself, and she helps him find time for a nap once in a while. Jarad Pingree, a veteran, is missing pain management treatments normally received through a VA hospital in Boston.</p>
<p>Pingree said she misses attending church in person rather than via Facebook Live. And she misses dinners with her in-laws, who live nearby. “It’s been kind of weird and hard not to be able to do that. Yesterday, my mother-in-law put some masks in the mailbox, and waved through the window,” she said.</p>
<p>“I try to keep things as normal as possible,” Pingree said. “Other than that, we are just kind of winging it and doing our best like everyone else and hoping this thing will pass.”</p>

This is a “dry” sourdough, meaning that it contains more flour than most. These were intended to be able to travel – they could be put in a sack of flour and carried around. However, if yours ends up with a higher water content, I am sure that is fine too.<br /><br />In general, baking this bread takes 24 hours. I usually feed the starter in the morning, mix up a bread dough in the evening, and then bake the bread the next morning. You could begin the process in the evening, then you would finish it the next evening.<br /><br /><em>Feeding your starter:</em><br /><br />This starter lives in the fridge, but it needs to be fed <span style="text-decoration:underline;">at least once/week</span>.<br /><br />Take the starter out of its container and place in a bowl. This is what it looks like right out of the fridge.<br /><br />Add <span style="text-decoration:underline;">one cup</span> of lukewarm water.<br /><br />Mix starter into water (see below).<br /><br />Add <span style="text-decoration:underline;">whole wheat flour</span> to the mixture, enough to make a stiff dough.<br /><br /><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Cover</span> with a damp cloth. Let sit out at room temperature for at least <span style="text-decoration:underline;">8 hours</span>.<br /><br />If you are not going to make bread, place about <span style="text-decoration:underline;">1-2 cups</span> of starter back in your container and place in the fridge (above is what it looks like after about 8-12 hours of growth). On another note: I never wash the container in the fridge and that seems fine.<br /><br />If you are making bread, continue as follows:<br /><br /><em>Making bread:<br /><br /></em>Even when you are making bread, <span style="text-decoration:underline;">do not forget to put 1-2 cups of starter away</span> (see below).<br /><br />Once you have done so, take the rest of your refreshed starter and place in mixing bowl.<br /><br />Add <span style="text-decoration:underline;">3 cups of lukewarm water</span>. Mix.<br /><br />Gradually add <span style="text-decoration:underline;">flour and 1 T salt</span>. I use only white flour at this point, but you can use whatever flour you would prefer. I used to make it with more whole wheat, but it comes out as a denser bread.<br /><br />Add flour until you have a pliable dough. I usually do this entire process in the bowl; you can take it out and knead it a little on a floured surface. This bread, however, requires very little kneading due to the long rising period. This is what my dough looks like.<br /><br />Cover the bowl with a warm damp cloth.<br /><br />Let rise over night or over the course of a day. This is after rising for 8-12 hours.<br /><br /><em>Baking your bread:</em><br />Preheat oven to 450. Place two heavy pots with heavy lids in the oven to warm.<br /><br />Flour a surface (I use a cutting board).<br /><br />Divide your dough into two pieces. I make one slightly larger than the other as the pans I use are of different size.<br /><br />Form dough into loaves. This involves slightly turning the edges in on themselves, essentially forming a crease which you place face-down on the floured surface. You can look this up online.<br /><br />Dust top of each loaf with flour.<br /><br />When oven has pre-heated, place the loaves into the pots and cover them. You should <span style="text-decoration:underline;">flip your loaves over</span> so that the crease that was on the bottom on the floured surface is now on the top in your pan. You can see the crease along the top of the loaves in this photo. This is not necessary,<br />but this is what allows a nice break along the top of the finished bread.<br /><br />Bake <span style="text-decoration:underline;">covered for 30 minutes</span>.<br /><br />After 30 minutes, <span style="text-decoration:underline;">uncover your pans and bake another 10 minutes</span>.<br /><br />When done, remove from the oven and put on a cooling rake or prop bread in their pans as shown here. You need airflow around the loaves to cool well.

An account of the resource
This sourdough bread instruction manual was created by my sister Emma for family and friends who she has shared sourdough starter with. Learning to make homemade bread has been one of the benefits of staying home more and shopping less. It also helps me feel close to my family, who are all baking bread! My parents make a fresh batch every few days, which they enjoy delivering to friends and neighbors.

<p>DEXTER – Being a senior in high school, a grocery store employee or a firefighter is a tough job anytime, to say nothing of during the time of COVID-19. Eric Bennett, 18, of Dexter is all three.</p>
<p>Responses to the pandemic escalated quickly at Dexter Regional High School, Bennett said, with reminders about hand washing and cough etiquette and encouragement to track symptoms in the early days, followed closely with complete school closure.</p>
<p>“They were sending us all home with packets of stuff to do,” he said on April 14. “The hardest part is the culture shock of going from a classroom setting to studying at home. The work they gave us is not necessarily hard, but I found it more difficult to stay focused, compared to in the classroom with a teacher you can ask. I used to go to Mr. Murray’s room after lunch to ask about English. Now I write emails. I got my report card the other day and I am passing all my classes.”</p>
<p>Things have changed at Hannaford Supermarket, as well. “I noticed the parking lot was absolutely packed one day, and it was pretty much a mad house in there,” Bennett recalled. “I asked one of my coworkers if they had also noticed things picking up around March 11. That’s when I heard about the first case in Maine. About a week and a half after that, they were putting Plexiglas at the registers. We also have six feet markers for the checkout line. Today we are putting in signs on some of the aisles for one-way.</p>
<p>“The six-foot policy has been interesting to follow,” he continued. “It kind of affects everybody’s performance a little bit because you can’t just sneak by a person. You have to wait for the aisle to clear before you can start stocking. Out front, they are cleaning the carts after every use, and you can’t have more than 45 people in the store at one time. We have two employees out front: one who counts, and one who cleans carts.” Employees were being offered the option to wear masks, as well.</p>
<p>Bennett said he picked up extra hours at the grocery store because he wanted to earn money while not in school, but that “it always felt like kind of a moral obligation, if you will, to work now because of how many people need groceries. It’s nice to have extra money in my pocket, and I might as well work and try to get that extra experience, but I am also a lot younger than a lot of the workers down there. I’d rather me catch it than somebody who might not be able to bounce back.”</p>
<p>Bennett was a junior firefighter for a couple of years before turning 18, and has been a full-fledged firefighter with the Dexter Fire Department since last August. In addition to putting out fires, firefighters answer calls that may put them in contact with COVID patients.</p>
<p>“We do get paged out for lift assists and car accidents and some other medical calls,” he said. “We’re all more mindful of [COVID], and social distancing. And it’s always an option whether or not to go to a call anyways. I found a couple of calls that I opted not to go on because of certain characteristics of that call.”</p>
<p>Bennett has reason to be cautious. His family has already had its first brush with COVID-19. His sister, 16, who has preexisting health concerns, had been babysitting down in the Portland area. Her employer developed symptoms associated with COVID and was advised to treat it as such, but could not get tested.</p>
<p>“So I get a call from my mother that my sister has been exposed,” said Bennett. Since he had not been near his sister, Bennett went to stay with his grandparents in Guilford for two weeks rather than be quarantined at home with her. “I was stuck between a rock and a hard place,” he said. “If I had stayed home, I could not have worked. And it turned out to just be pneumonia.”</p>
<p>On the day we spoke, Bennett said graduation was the only thing that had not yet been officially cancelled, “but the writing is on the wall for it. In the fall, I thought, ‘I don’t care if I march’ but now that it’s actually out of the question, that kind of hurts a little bit. But, it’s one of those things where we have to roll with the punches, I guess.”</p>
<p>He was also disappointed that prom was cancelled because she “never really had a very good prom and I told her she would this year, but that’s kind of the way the cards fall,” he said. She occasionally visits him at lunch at an outdoor picnic table. “I’m hoping this will be over by summer, at least. It’s bad in this regard, because we are both going to colleges and are going to be halfway across the country from each other.”</p>
<p>To destress, Bennett buys project materials online, plays a lot more video games than in the past, and, “I’ve also found myself taking a lot more walks and runs, now that I think about it, which is very relaxing. And if my beeper [for fire calls] goes off, I am out the door! I go stir crazy pretty easy,” he said, laughing.</p>

<p>DOVER-FOXCROFT -- Students travel to the U.S.A. from around the globe to experience high school in America and to prepare to attend our colleges. Now, because of COVID-19 and its associated safety guidelines, many students are unable to return to their homes and families while also missing out on that American high school experience.</p>
<p>Dayita Durachman, a junior at Foxcroft Academy, said she is one of the lucky ones because she has been attending the school since her freshman year. Students only here for one year have missed out on the end of winter sports, all of spring sports, prom, and may not get to experience graduation.</p>
<p>“I was born in Indonesia, but we moved to Singapore when I was really young,” said Durachman. “I came to FA mostly because I want to go to college here. I thought coming here through high school would make it easier to apply to colleges, to understand the curriculum and how the system works.”</p>
<p>FA was specifically chosen because of the good student/teacher ratio and the small town setting, she said. “There are no distractions to studying, like there would be in a big city. The teachers are very focused on us, which is very helpful to me because English is not my first language.”</p>
<p>Another thing that made Dover-Foxcroft a good pick was the Center Theatre. Durachman, who plans to study theater in college, has been performing in local productions for the past three years.</p>
<p>“I was going to be in ‘Oliver.’ I already auditioned and I got a really good part, but they had to cancel. It’s really sad,” she said. Durachman has had roles in Center Theatre productions of “Little Women,” “Seussical II” and “Lion King.” “The school is doing a really good job with productions, too. I was a main character in ‘Beauty and the Beast’ last fall.”</p>
<p>Durachman said she will likely attend a college in New England because, “I call this home, and I don’t want to be far from home.”</p>
<p>Still, it is hard to be away from family during a worldwide crisis. “My parents live in an apartment, and apparently someone in that apartment block has it,” said Durachman. “But they’ve been doing work at home. My baby sister is only five months old now, so I’m really worried about her – but I think they are fine. They are just staying home.” </p>
<p>Many of FA’s foreign students went home as the pandemic spread. That wasn’t an option in her case. “I was going to go home, but that Monday it hit. Singapore closed its borders, so I can’t go home. And I would have to go through Germany because it takes two days to go home and Germany is in a really bad situation…so I just couldn’t get home. I don’t know when I’m going home. It’s a day-by-day situation,” she said.</p>
<p>Having her in a small, rural community is some comfort to her family, Durachman said. “But they are still worried. There’s going to be a risk anywhere.”</p>
<p>There are other challenges. Some classes, like music and chorus, cannot be offered online or students may lack the instruments to participate from home, she said. “Or like chemistry. I’m kind of sad we can’t do the labs anymore. Labs are very helpful because you actually see a reaction and how it works.”</p>
<p>Some teachers are better at teaching online and responding promptly to email than others, said Durachman. And preparing for the SATs has also become a challenge. “I paid for it already and got the books, but the tests got cancelled and it is harder for us to study in the summer.”</p>
<p>FA is trying to make the best of the experience for students still living in the dorms. “The school is trying to keep us physically active,” Durachman said. “They open the gym for us, and we can walk on the track when the weather is nice.</p>
<p>“It’s mostly the social interaction that I miss,” she continued. Dorms are not allowed any visitors. Residents, because they are already cohabitating, do not have to social distance, but students have all been given their own room. Activities are organized to try to keep them entertained and cheerful. “We do painting, indoor soccer, and we had an Easter egg hunt around the dorms – I got M&Ms.”</p>
<p>The school is keeping the dorms open and providing meals. “The school is doing a good job,” said Durachman. “I’m glad I’m stuck here, compared to all the kids stuck in their own homes, especially an only child. I’ve been living with these people for a whole year. We are all safe. Here, I have friends and some social interaction.”</p>
<p>Durachman does a lot of reading, online entertainment, and “I’m trying to get some new hobbies. I’m trying to learn to knit, but I’m very impatient,” she said with a laugh.</p>
<p>Her parents call her daily. “I am a little sad I haven’t seen my parents for eight months now, but I kind of want to spend one of my summers here because everyone says Maine is the best in the summer. This might be my chance to do so,” Durachman said. “But the world is sick and everyone is struggling and it’s just really sad.”</p>

Students travel to the U.S.A. from around the globe to experience high school in America and to prepare to attend our colleges. Now, because of COVID-19 and its associated safety guidelines, many students are unable to return to their homes and families while also missing out on that American high school experience.

<p>DOVER-FOXCROFT/SEBEC – Like most of us during the stay-safe-at-home closures, Patrick Myers is balancing needs at home with those of his workplace. And in Myers’ case, as executive director of the Center Theatre, that workplace is well known to anyone who enjoys taking in a movie, live music, plays or standup comedy close to home.</p>
<p>The theater stayed open for a time, doing extra disinfection between shows, “but it quickly became obvious we had an obligation to our staff and the public to close even before we absolutely had to by state mandate,” Myers said. “I think it was certainly the right decision, given the situation. I don’t think there’s any reason the Center Theatre should have stayed open at the risk of spreading a virus through the community. For better or worse, while the theater is vital to our wellbeing, it is not essential to our day-to-day lives.”</p>
<p>The first week after closing was spent scrambling to get everyone set up with the technology and a process to work from home. With those issues resolved, “we began to look outward again, at how we could contribute to the community, and what we could realistically do.”</p>
<p>The Center Theatre launched its Keep in Touch campaign to help folks feel more connected while also providing some revenue for the nonprofit during this downtime.</p>
<p>“The first thing we did was make our marquee available,” Myers said. “Folks make a donation and get a message up on the marquee for a day. We’ve had a fairly good response to that.” When sponsored messages don’t appear, the marquee displays humorous reminders to practice social distancing, or shares other community information. “We also are using our ad space in The Eastern Gazette so that folks will know where to get information or additional resources in the community,” he said.</p>
<p>And Keep in Touch Online is a service to create and deliver short video messages. “So folks, for a small donation, tell the theater who they want a video to go to and what they want the video to say, and we’ll connect with some of our talented actors and volunteers to record a short message that will be sent to the recipient,” Myers explained. “It’s just a fun surprise, a way to spread a little bit of joy with a birthday message, an anniversary message or just something silly to make somebody smile. It will be interesting to see what people come up with!”</p>
<p>The theater’s weekly e-blasts have evolved, now including free resources for online entertainment and other items of interest to help everyone beat the extended cabin fever season this spring.</p>
<p>“And while we’re closed, we are also making available for one week at a time videos of past performances at Center Theatre,” Myers said. “We don’t want folks to forget the great work that has gone on and will go on in the future. It’s a nice way for people to look back and see some old shows that they probably haven’t seen in quite a while.”</p>
<p>Work on the second screen in the former Center Coffee space has come to a halt as closures elsewhere have slowed down equipment installation and the arrival of funding. “It was supposed to be finished on Friday, April 10 with a grand opening on the 17<sup>th</sup>, but I can’t make any predictions now,” said Myers. </p>
<p>And what of the Maine Whoopie Pie Festival, for which the theatre is a presenting organization? “As of right now we are still hoping the festival can go on as scheduled, on June 27, but in the event it does have to be postponed, we will have a new date set shortly,” Myers said. “We definitely don’t want to cancel. It will happen one way or another!”</p>
<p>Myers said that to make a donation or for more information, visit centertheatre.org, call 564-8943 or mail to 20 East Main Street, Dover-Foxcroft, 04426.</p>
<p><strong>Safe on the farm</strong></p>
<p>Having businesses and schools closed has meant big transitions at the Myers homestead, as well. “We have two kids now doing school work from home, and both adults working from home,” Myers said. “None of us had ever had anything like this in our lives, where we now have to juggle not only family chores, but also checking in the morning to see who needs bandwidth for a conference call or school work.</p>
<p>“Out in the sticks there is not always great bandwidth, so we are just figuring out a new schedule and a new rhythm for every day,” he said. “We are trying to give each other space and the benefit of the doubt, knowing that it’s a new experience for everyone and it affects everyone a little bit differently.”</p>
<p>Teresa Myers, conservation specialist with the Maine State Museum, is working from home on projects, policies, guidelines and future exhibits. </p>
<p>Their daughter, Alice, 13, “is adjusting very well, keeping busy with school work, and thrives on being self-motivated,” said Myers. “She’s very good about keeping her own schedule, and is frankly enjoying having more free time to herself these days.”</p>
<p>The household gained a new member when Patrick’s cousin, Sami Bitat, 17, moved from Algeria to “sort of have the quintessential American high school experience – which has changed somewhat,” Myers said. “He really adjusted to school in the states very well, and then, like everyone else, had the rug pulled out from under him. He’s been through multiple transitions over the last eight months.”</p>
<p>Fortunately, there isn’t much livestock on the farm to care for these days, other than chickens cranking out so many eggs that Myers joked the family had a quota to eat four apiece each day. He used to sell eggs, but found it “more trouble than it was worth.” Now, excess eggs are donated to the food cupboard.</p>
<p>With spring in the air, there are culverts to shovel out to avoid flooding, and gardens to prepare. “There’s plenty of that work going around,” he said.</p>
<p>To relax, the family plays games and “tries to sit down for meals every once in a while together, but mainly just get outside to do some work or get out in the woods to just get away and have a change of scenery,” Myers said.</p>
<p>And finally, on the home front, he quipped, “the dog loves that we’re here all the time but I think the cat’s getting a little pissed off that we aren’t giving him half the day to be on his own in the quiet!”</p>

While lives have changed dramatically during the past six months or so and many folks are still self-quarantining or at least have remained cooped up for far too long, the Guilford Historical Society has planned to hold its annual Harvest Festival to break the monotony on Saturday, Sept. 26 (rain date is Saturday, Oct. 3).<br /><br />We are having a CrEaTiVe Mask Competition too. Create a mask, take a selfie (or have someone take a picture of you in your new creation) and send it to Janie at jknee@myfairpoint.net by Sept. 24. Include your contact information please as there will be prizes for the most original, the funniest and the prettiest. Photos will be on display at the festival on Saturday, Sept. 26 with attendees judging the masked competitors. Make sure to send your friends and relatives to vote for you.<br /><br /><span class="rcg-copy part-1"><span class="rcg-copy part-1"><span style="font-weight:400;">Get out of the house and come have some fun. The kids area at the Braeburn lot includes the bounce house, games and popcorn. “Floyd’s Fabulous Hot Dogs” will be available from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Guilford Historical Society. <br /></span></span></span>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">The cemetery tour with local historian Tom Goulette will be held at the Lawn Cemetery on the left side of Route 15 (Elm Street) heading west at 6:30 pm and will include the mystery of the lost cremains.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">Thanks to the Red Maple Inn for providing the bounce house and live music and to the town of Guilford for providing the masks and sanitizer.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">The Guilford Memorial Library will host a book sale on from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Sept. 26 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Masks will be required and social distancing will be observed.</span></p>

<span class="vkIF2 public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr"><span class="vkIF2 public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr">"It's the first day of corn [so] it's busier than ever!"<br /><br /></span></span><span class="vkIF2 public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr">Marilyn sits behind the counter with a blue patterned mask on while one of the farm cats, Leonardo, lounges. Immediately Holly and I go to pet the (informal) Wyman's mascot.<br /><br /></span><span class="vkIF2 public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr"><span class="vkIF2 public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr">She smiles. I had just asked her if we had her permission to photograph her and the farm and ask a few questions. "Cats can be the star- they don't need to wear a mask!" We each chuckle. <br /><br /></span></span><span class="vkIF2 public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr">Richard is unloading the mornings cucumbers from a large tote. "Oh, they're just foolish". He turns to look at Leonardo and Marilyn replies, "They're cats!".<br /><br /></span><span class="vkIF2 public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr">Marilyn proceeds to share the goings-ons about the farm. "Tomatoes are ripening slowly. Like every year, it's the same way. We got a lot of zucchini and summer squash. Cauliflower and broccoli. The cabbage is doing great, onions too." <br /><br /></span><span class="vkIF2 public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr"></span><span class="vkIF2 public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr"></span><span class="vkIF2 public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr">In the beginning Marilyn and Richard raised beef with their vegetables and milked cows for 25 years. Marilyn describes what changed for them. Marilyn tells us the milk prices were too low. They couldn't pay for their grain which they turn into hay to sell. So they focused their energy on seasonal vegetable growing and logging on their land.<br /><br /></span><span class="vkIF2 public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr"><span class="vkIF2 public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr">Marilyn and Richard own around 1,000 acres of land between Milo and a property in Monson, and they are farming on about 25 acres of that land. Richard noted the nice rock-free soil along the Pleasant River that their farm borders. They are well known in the community for their corn, potatoes, and other popular local crops.<br /><br /></span></span><span class="vkIF2 public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr">The barn that they store hay in was built in the 1880s. It's been a tough year for hay due to the drastic weather, and they only predict having about half of what they've had in past years.<br /><br /></span><span class="vkIF2 public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr">"When you don't have the rain, it's hard to catch up" Richard tells us as we survey his fields near the river. These fields are "river bottom land". It floods practically every year, in the spring and late fall. They rotate their vegetables and are considering ways to rotate their corn. <br /><br /></span><span class="vkIF2 public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr"></span><span class="vkIF2 public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr">Still, when we met over by the hay barn, it smelled like first cut hay, stacked high up to the ceiling towards the back of the building. Richard points to the entryway by his feet.<br /><br /></span><span class="vkIF2 public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr">"[The hay] used to be as high as can be! It's been a strange year." <br /><br /></span><span class="vkIF2 public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr"></span><span class="vkIF2 public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr">This year has been particularly tough with the unusual weather changes and due to Covid19. It's too difficult to wear masks in the field pitching hay or harvesting so "it's just the two boys". One is named Patrick. I asked him about their customer response to wearing masks. "Oh there might be one a day (without a mask)'. Marilyn quipped that if they don't want to wear a mask they don't need to be there. She says she has only lost one customer due to their mask policy. <br /><br />B</span><span class="vkIF2 public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr"></span><span class="vkIF2 public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr">ut, like many folks who raise food, keeping a faith beyond certainty prevails. And for Richard, this has been instilled for generations. When I asked him if he always knew he wanted to farm he replied, "Oh pretty much since forever. My grandfather farmed in Abbot, my father too." </span><span class="vkIF2 public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr"><br /><br /></span><span class="vkIF2 public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr">It's this attitude that is resilience in action. Despite it all, the hay gets pitched, the vegetables are harvested and the stand remains open while the farm cats greet customers. We're grateful for their hard work that lets us deliver produce to seniors who can't leave their homes in the Brownville/Milo region. We tip our hats to you, dear Wyman's! </span>
