PEAKS ISLAND CHECK-IN LINE: Beginning Nov 5 seniors who live alone, have recently had surgery or other medical issues, or who are house-bound for any reason can participate in a new call-in monitoring service being implemented by Cynthia and Howard Pedlikin. Participants enrolled in the program call the Check-in Line each day by 10 am (766-0067) and leave a message that all is well. In the event a message is not received, volunteer staff will then check on that person. To sign up, please e-mail the Pedlikins at cindyhow@maine.rr.com . Applications can be found here.
SCHOOL CANCELLATIONS According to a news bulletin by Shoshana Hoose of the Portland Public School District, a 2-hour late day option has been adopted by the school district for use when snow has stopped but road crews are still clearing the streets. All school cancellations and late starts will be announced on the
school district’s Web site (www.portlandschools.org), on TV3 and on
local radio and television stations. On days when a 2-hour late start is planned but the weather is worsening, Interim Superintendant Jeanne Whynot-Vickers says parents should continue to monitor news reports until 9 a.m., in case the district decides to cancel school for the day.
