The Calendar welcomes submissions from its readers, including letters and thank you notes, but it cannot publish anything that is political in nature, libelous, or obscene. All submissions should include the author’s name and contact information. Without exception, the deadline for submissions is noon on the 20 th day of the month preceding publication.

As a courtesy and space permitting, island nonprofits are given up to a free half page each month to publish their news. Any such submissions exceeding a half page will be charges at the usual rate. All submissions become the property of the Chebeague Island Council, which reserves the right to edit them for length and clarity. Submissions that are not time sensitive may be held until there is enough space to publish them. Additional information about submissions is available at www.islandcalendar.weebly.com . On the Cover This month’s cover features a sweet photograph, pulled from our museum archives by Donna Damon, of Gary Ross’ first Thanksgiving Dinner in 1958, with his parents Sylvia and James (Brother) Ross, at his grandmother Ellen Hamilton’s home. Remember that the island museum is preparing for its upcoming exhibit and would love your help! The exhibit will be exploring growing up on Chebeague Island and the CIHS would love to see photos or items you might want to loan that pertain to that theme. Please email the museum for more information at chebeaguehistory@gmail.com . About the Calendar

Marty’s Memories - Trees November 2019 by Marty Trower

Is it just a coincidence that while I was heavily into reading the intriguing book Overstory (by Richard Powers- whose underlying theme is trees, not only their connection to each other but to our own personal human history) I opened my window shades Thursday morning to find two huge and magnificent arboreal monuments lying horizontal in my yard? I should not have been surprised. The night before I’d had no choice but to lie in bed and listen and watch with horror as my house was battered and shaken not only by the strongest winds I’ve ever experienced but by the constant slashing and beating of porch furniture and anything else I hadn’t tied down, against the house. I had not lashed them to the porch railings because, after all, it was my home, not a boat. I dared not open the glass door to the porch to secure the items, knowing I would not be able to close it again. The sky was strangely white in places. How could that be, I wondered. The antique but flourishing hydrangea tree in front of the porch waved its blurry image, whipping erratically, energetically, never taking a rest, like a strange ghost trying to find peace but finding none. How could this tree possibly survive? Somehow, towards dawn I must’ve slept for a while because suddenly it was quiet, and dawn’s light was there but I was too tired to get up and explore the damage. How could it be that I

never heard the trees falling? Throughout the days of cleaning up and camping out without power, I thought about those regal trees and all the many other giants that fell that early morning on the island. I thought of Deer Point and the disastrous damage its trees have incurred in the last decades. I remembered, also, hearing about a great fire that had raged in the forests on the point in the forties. The evergreens came back and they and I flourished at the same time in the intervening years. The way to the shore was canopied by them in those years as we made our way through the magic pathway to the rocks where the red bell buoy clanged, and surf foamed white around our picnic on the rocks. I thought about the maple tree Maggie and I used to climb behind her house in our youth, where we worked out a lot of dreams and ideas while scrambling and hanging and perching in its arms. When the giant oak in front of our family cottage started losing soil around its roots and water oozed from its hold onto the ground, we worried but could do nothing. Then it went over and took a big part of the bank with it as well as a lifetime of memories in its realm. Today the hydrangea, its remaining blossoms soft mauve in color clung sadly but strong and devoted to it home where it has grown for longer than my family has owned the property, over seventy years.

CHEBEAGUE TRANSPORTATION COMPANY What’s New at CTC?

Who qualifies to use ferry Resi- dent/Parking Permit tickets? CTC offers discounted “green” ferry tickets to island residents and people who purchase an annual parking permit. To qualify as a resident, you must reside on Chebeague Island at least nine months per year and be eligible to vote on the Island. To qualify as a parking per- mit holder, you must purchase an annual parking permit at either the Cousins or Cumber- land parking lots for the current year. Spouses and children (age 21 and younger) of the parking permit holder/resident also qualify to purchase this ticket. Unfortunate- ly, the deckhands report that some people are using their green tickets for persons who do not qualify. Please follow the eligibility requirements that are posted on our website. CTC has copies of many customers’ keys at both our lots. We suspect that we have keys for cars long gone and for people who no longer live on or visit Chebeague. If you have given us a key at one of our lots that should be returned to you or discarded, please email or call the office and let us know. Thank you! Keys, Keys, Keys...

Cousins Island Annual Parking Applications Due By 11/22/2019

Applications for annual parking permits will be mailed by Novem- ber 1st to current permit holders. The applications will also be post- ed on the “Parking and Bus Ser- vice” page on our website and available on the ferry. Parking spaces are very limited at the Cousins Island lot and we urge customers to consider moving to the Route One satellite lot. Due to space limitations, it is not possible to provide Cousins per- mits to all applicants. Priorities must be set. The first priority is to issue a permit to one resident of each household that has met the crite- ria for a resident household (detailed in our application). If there are available spaces after issuing one to each household, second household permits will be issued to commuters, island busi- nesses, and families with school

children if the first household permit is held by a full-time com- muter. In 2017, CTC implemented a “partial year” permit. This permit allows parking at the Cousins lot during certain months only. Please review carefully all the terms and conditions detailed in our application package to deter- mine if believe you qualify for a Cousins Island permit. Customers who are more than 30 days in arrears for payment (for any service) will not receive a Cousins permit and will only re- ceive a Route One permit when the account is paid in full. Applications for the Cousins lot must be received at the office or post marked by 11/22. Applications received or post- marked after the due date will not be considered for a Cous- ins Island spot.

For those persons who do not comply, we will tow violators. This includes vehicles parked with no or expired tickets and those abusing the “loaner” policy shown above. It is a long-standing CTC policy that parking permit customers may substitute a “loaner” vehicle when the stick- ered vehicle is being repaired. This program may not be used to, in effect, share a sticker between vehicles. Use of a loaner must be authorized by the Office. Key: Summer Office Hours Parking Policies Enforcement “ Loaner” Vehicle Policy

The delivery date of the Inde- pendence has been changed by Washburn & Doughty due to delays in construction of other boats at their yard. The estimat- ed launch date is now 6/21 at 2 PM. The Independence will have to undergo sea trials and required testing for regulatory approval. Therefore, it is uncer- tain at this time when the Inde-

pendence will be home and able to carry passengers. We are planning a launch party at W&D in East Boothbay and are hopeful that many Islanders will be interested in joining us for that event. CTC will provide bus transportation to the launch. As plans are finalized we will post the details. November-19

We are pleased to announce that CTC boats (Islander, Independence, and Dovekie) will all have Automated Identification Systems (AIS) installed. The Islander’s AIS is operational now—the Dovekie’s will be working May 1st. You can track their location at www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/home/shipid:442737/zoom:15 or down- loading an App. Suggested Apps will be posted on our Facebook page. Please be advised that there could be a several minute delay in the transmission of the data, so do not rely on the AIS to give you the vessel’s exact location . During the first or second week in May, Bartlett Tree will spray the Route One lot for brown-tail moth. The spraying should be completed before the first bus of the day. The spray may get on vehicles but it will not damage the paint. Customers are urged to park in the center rows of the lower part of the lot to minimize exposure. As soon as we have a definite date, we will post it. However, it would be prudent to park away from trees beginning the end of April. Summer Ferry Fee Increases effective 5/1/2019 Child (Ages 6-11)/Pet (20 tickets) - $26.00 Resident/Parking Permit Holder—Adult (10 tickets) - $39.00 CTC Carts We provide carts for our customers at a considerable cost.

Statement of Board of Trustees of the Chebeague Island Library. For many years, the Chebeague Island Library (CIL) was pleased to host the Chebeague.org site on its server.We all recognize how vital and important the site is to the Chebeague community. Last year, the CIL, moved to a web-based system that is more secure, responsive and easier to maintain. Because of the move, we no longer used the library server. Housed in a small room, the heat and noise of the server inhibited use of the space. We are pleased that Beverly Johnson has found a new web-based home for Chebeague.org , and will continue the wonderful work that we have all come to expect. This frees up needed space in the library. The Board also wants to recognize the extraordinary time, expertise and equipment that David Hill donated to the Library for many years as a Library Trustee and volunteer. The Board knows that the move for Chebeague.org was not without cost; we encourage renters who list on Chebeague.org to help cover the costs to Beverly and pay to list on the site. As part of that effort, the Library wants to be the first to help cover those costs and will donate $150 to continue this vital community resource.
