Chebeague Island Community Center Update

During the past year the Advisory Committee of the partnership formed by the Chebeague Island Hall, Council, and Library has focused on developing a framework for managing the building we share—a building that truly serves as the community hub. We have now turned our attention to addressing the preservation of the exterior of the building—tackling some long- deferred maintenance projects and, at the same time, creating a long-term plan for repairs and improvements.

steps of the Library and Charles Hall has replaced both sets of side steps to the Hall. We are also grateful to Library Board Member Shannon Adams for completing the beautiful sign gracing the lovely gardens overseen by Erin Whetham. Come join us on Sunday July 2 for the Second Annual Community Center Brunch! Launched last year to formally celebrate the newly formed Community Center Partnership, this year’s event is, again, part of Chebeague’s weekend-long celebration of July 4 th and its tenth anniversary as a town!

Marty’s Memories: Large Boats and Fishing Nets by Marty Trower

With nets stretching out at a diagonal to the sea and the streaming water glistening in that early light, the large boat appeared suddenly, quite far off from where the seasonal boat moorings lie. It took me a minute to realize that this was a rare sight out in the water off Hamilton Beach these days. The boat and the dripping nets brought back the memory of a slumber party in my early teens aboard Gretchen Tonks-Hartling’s father’s boat, Armida . It was glorious to have the honor of spending the night on board that graceful black beauty of a sailboat.We didn’t sleep much, having fun talking and just being away from our parents. We must have dozed off some because I remember being blasted out of a fitful sleep into bright sunshine and a dreadfully loud droning noise beside us in the water.

We climbed up to the cockpit and remembered the nets we’d seen stretched across the cove for weeks. Now, a large boat was right up next to them, and the noise came from some great machine doing something with the fish in the nets. The men on the boat invited us on board, and silly us, receptive to anything, we climbed down in our pajamas and watched the bewildering process going on. They never explained, but I remember fish scales everywhere, stuck to the deck, our ankles, our arms. This experience was put away as other events overcame our lives, but it stayed with me. I brought up the story to Ernie Burgess recently, and he said, “Oh yes, that’s what they did. They were de-scaling the fish. They did that back then, and sold the glittering slivers for the manufacture of buttons!” Oh, wow. So neat! Long-time mystery solved. But what happened to the fish?

You will hear about new proposals, new opportunities, and recent accomplishments. You will be able to ask questions and learn more about the remarkable ongoing efforts on Chebeague that benefit us all. Feel free to bring friends and family with you. Just let us know you are coming and how many you are by writing to recompensefund@chebeague.net . Space is limited only by the size of the room. The Recompense Fund is Chebeague Island’s community fund, working to sustain our year-round island community through financial support to its nonprofit organizations. Visit us at www. recompensefund.com .

Many organizations and their volunteers do a great deal for our community. The Recompense Fund is humbled by their efforts and values all their ideas. The fund also takes seriously the confidence of its many donors who trust the fund to make sound decisions when awarding grants.

The Mail

Sincere Thanks During a hasty return to the island on Father’s Day, I misplaced a shoulder bag that contained a lot of valuable items. My sincerest thanks to Martha Hamilton and the CTC staff who helped locate and arranged to return it to me on the island. Your efforts are truly appreciated, particularly during your very busy season. Thank you again, Thank you Chebeague Island! We would like to thank everyone who helped us after David and his drill press had a bit of a confrontation. Thanks to the team of the Chebeague Island Rescue, the crew on the CTC boat, the Yarmouth Rescue guys, and John Holt who provided some necessary transportation. Sincerely, Tony Gorody

THANKS TO MY SUPPORTERS Hopefully, by the time this is published, the transition of my trucking/junking business will be complete. I now will have more time to focus on my electrical business and will have better response times. I apologize to those who have “fallen through the cracks” on the schedule. I also want to take the time to again thank all of my patrons and supporters of the trucking/junking business. Please extend your patronage and kind words to Island Services for this much needed service. Sincerely, Kim Boehm Kim@IslandElectric A Note of Thanks Although I took my digger back in June, my memory of that experience remains vivid...and mostly POSITIVE due to the incredible care I received from friends and neighbors. Much thanks to my kind and competent rescuers, Ehrhardt, Martha, and Mike; to the CTC crew, Jeremy and Kim; and to the Yarmouth Rescue team. The cheer and comfort you provided to me (in the middle of the night) will never be forgotten. Also, many thanks to all who sent cards and well wishes (and flowers!!).   I feel very blessed to live on Chebeague.

David Scrase and Melanie Gustafson

JULY 2017 CHEBEAGUE ISLAND COUNCIL CALENDAR

One Man’s Island by Bob Libby

Celebrating major anniversaries reminds us how quickly time passes. Ten years a town as years fly by. I remember our first trip to Chebeague in 1970 when Wink and Ruthie invited us out for a weekend on the island. Doc hustled Paula over to Souchek’s Red House to cut a pane of glass for Don’s storm door. It’s been nearly half a century since we first fell in love with Chebeague. We’ve come to deeply respect the multigenerational cultural aspects of life on Chebeague. Family dominates all our cherished memories. Our first Fourth of July out here was 1984, and we had torn the roof off the brick house under a pure blue cloudless sky. When the thunderstorm struck, Don Munsey and Art Johnson ran over with a huge blue tarp, but everything was already dripping. Paula told Nick to take the huge pot he was carrying and put it over his head to keep himself dry. We remember Ralph as a teenager hauling us with our gear up from the Stone Wharf through the woods to the old meeting house. Bucket rights to Campbell’s well and a stunning outhouse were the facilities then. The old porch had to be torn off and carted to the dump. That first Fourth Wink, Ruthie, Malcolm, Sandra, and Med set up the cannon and saluted us at midnight, but we were all so exhausted, we never even woke up. Now, our son who proudly rode his decorated bike in that first parade can look at several timber-framed houses he has built on this island.

Nick’s grandmother is the oldest resident on Chebeague, and we have lived on Chebeague longer than any other place. We harbor deep affection for the five or more generation families of Chebeague: Leonards, Houghtons, Hamiltons, KomLosys, Hills, Cleaves, Webbers, and more. We stood and applauded when Raymond Hamilton rode by in the parade and when Jet was honored as the youngest citizen born on Chebeague. For me the greatest aspect of the parade is the generations celebrating together. People I remember as children running to catch thrown treats are now guiding their children and grandchildren in the ritual. Because we worked for Cumberland Rec, we met young children for arts and crafts and sports forty years ago—long before there was the Rec Center or our beautiful public library. Now those young people like Kevin, Rachel, and Tom are all busy adults guiding sons, daughters, nieces, and nephews through the celebration of independence. Amanda will be captain on the Islander that brings the hordes of visitors to share our celebration. My friend Teddy will be posting video of his grandchildren as the parade goes by Westview’s porch. On this independence Day we stand and applaud the generosity and friendship of our neighbors all these years and eagerly look forward to the independent future of Chebeague Island. Property Maintenance Lawn Mowing, Bush Hogging, Wood Chipping, Stump Grinding, Brush Removal, Rototilling, Driveway Grading, Snow Removal, and more...
