Giant metal roosters are popping up on lawns in and around a coastal Maine community and as far away as New Zealand in support of a 6-year-old autistic girl and her love of the colorful creations.

A supervisor in the Orange County Sheriff’s Office retired amid an internal investigation into a Facebook post that shared a video from a page that supports white supremacist beliefs.

According to organizers, 35 bikes were donated to the community and 47 bikes were traded-in. Lakeshore Bicycles has seen thousands of bikes come and go since 1979, according to office manager Cathy Fetzer. And since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, the demand for bikes has grown as the sport has peddled in popularity, Fetzer said. Jacksonville resident Jay Smith donated and sold back bikes at this weekend’s event. One of the guys who works for us part-time works with a charity, and they fix them up and donate them,” Fetzer said.
