The Recompense Fund Honor Role

Alice Haines launched the Recompense Fund Honor Role in 2015 with a gift to the fund in memory of her brother, Julio Fonseca. She wrote, “Julio was the grandson of Dr. Hale and the eldest child of Lelia Fonseca Phipps, and spent much time on the island during his summers. He is survived by his sisters, Louise Bourgeois and Alice Haines.” Julio kept up with Chebeague news all his life, whether serving in World War II and the Korean War, teaching in Texas, or during retirement in Florida.

Our Honor Role of those giving back to Chebeague by donating to the Recompense Fund has snowballed since Alice made her gift. It now includes many donations from near and far honoring:

• Robert Dayton • Henry Dobush • Patricia Dobush • Edmund Doughty

• Frank Durgin • Julio Fonseca • Mary Gomez

• Charles Hale • Ginger Hobart • Richard Phipps

We are proud to honor all those who loved Chebeague as well as their families, friends, and colleagues who turn to the Recompense Fund as a way to give back to the community in their memory. We imagine those on our Honor Role with their smiles at the wharf and their hair ruffled by the breeze.

Thank you, Alice, for leading the way.

Donations may be sent to: The Recompense Fund, Maine Community Foundation, 25 Main St, Ellsworth, ME 04605.

Scrap Metal Due to drastic changes in the recycling markets, I have had to revise my policies regarding scrap- metal collection and the disposal of unwanted vehicles. Currently, I can only accept non-ferrous metals, heavy iron or steel, and outboard motors. All other metals should be taken to the Transfer Station. I can still remove unwanted or junk vehicles for free if they can be driven safely and for a donation (to cover expenses) if they need to be towed. If you cannot afford to pay, I will still remove the vehicle, in an effort to keep our island clean and green. Please call me before you try to recycle the vehicle yourself, as I can get a better price and save you the hassle of towing, barging, and delivery. As always, any profits—which remain extremely low—will be donated to eligible island organizations.
