Rachel Merriam is seen on Front Street in Hallowell along the Kennebec River on Thursday. When the ice jam flood happened early Sunday morning, Merriam was out of town.

Hyde and others have been cleaning, bleaching and painting as they get ready to reopen the bar, which was flooded because of a river ice jam, sometime next week.
