MAY 2019 • Issue #5 • Chebeague Island Council Calendar

On the Cover The new steps are finished! School House Seconds will be opening soon, and the new steps should make it easier for everyone to find all the treasures and bargains. We are accepting donations and you can drop them off anytime. We cannot take large appliances (working things like coffee makers, lamps, mixers etc. are fine but no microwaves please). Kitchen items, lamps, bedding, clothes, household goods - it is all welcome! If you think there is still some use for it someone else will too! Please use the backdoor and remember to be respectful of our neighbors. About the Calendar The Calendar is published monthly by the Chebeague Island Council. Available on-line at Chebeague Island News ( www. chebeague.org ) or www.islandcalendar.weebly.com and mailed to every occupied residence on the island, for a small additional fee, it can also be delivered by first-class mail to Island Council members who are off island at the time of publication.

Notes from the Council

The Chebeague community spirit is most present in the quiet, generous acts of so many volunteers. From Wednesday soup to our terrific firefighters and rescue crew, what makes life here “work” is this willingness of so many people to help. With summer coming, the pace of life on the Island picks up and the demands on these volunteers increases accordingly. Please consider reaching out to any of the island organizations to see if there is something you can do to help. Thank you to everyone who gives of their time and effort to keep our community the strong and vibrant place we are all happy to call home.

T he U.S.M Student Nurse Health Clinic was well attended, and the donuts disappeared quickly. Membership letters have gone out. If you did not receive one, please let us know and we will send one to you. The Council depends on this community support and we hope we can count on your continued membership. Please send in your ideas for the 4th of July Parade theme by May 15 th ! You could win a private shopping experience at School House Seconds. We have had some great ideas come in, but no decision has been made - it is not too late to come up with a fabulous theme for this island tradition.

Marty’s Memories: From Off Shore by Marty Trower

You would think that we would have enough of water, crossing over it on the ferry as much as we do. For most of us, though, it isn’t, and we somehow work out a way to get out on it as often as possible. Where else could you go to slow down enough to notice the foaming gurgle of a wake behind you, or an expanse of nothing, a vision so calming that it lifts you up? I remember that being on our wooden cat boat in the fifties was often a languid affair. Her beam was wide and heavy and the yellowed canvas sails never fully billowed out. We didn’t move fast or far but sights were seen, and stories were told as we sat in the baking sun, the boat yawing and creaking. Once, right off east end point, someone looked up and over towards the mainland and alerted us all to the appearance of Mt. Washington, off in the distance. The majestic image was a momentary thing; we had to tack, I think, and when I looked back to see it again, it wasn’t there. I was always hoping to see that mountain again but that turned out to be my moment.

weren’t around. The most thrilling was what we later called the Ginna Toohey on a Buoy story . Apparently, over the years, Ginna, a co-owner of our boat, kept saying, whenever they went past a certain red bell buoy at the end of Whaleboat island, “I’ve always wanted to get off onto one of those,”. It drove the others nuts. Sure enough, someone finally called her bluff and they put her off on the bobbing, splashing thing and sailed away. The sailboat, being a slow and unwieldy one, took it’s time to come about and had to go down behind the island to do so. Meanwhile, another boat came up to the buoy all in a panic seeing no other boat around, shouting to her,” Just hang on, we’re coming to rescue you! “. They just wouldn’t believe her, that she was fine, really, her friends were coming back for her, really. I have a black and white photo of this event, of Ginna on the buoy, and I drew a picture on a card I made for her on her 75 th birthday. Neither capture the energy and excitement of being out here, salt water spray drying on your face, enthralled by the water and all the memories it holds.

During the slow times we listened to stories from the grown-ups of things that had happened when we

Dental Clinic How long has it been since you had your teeth cleaned? The Council would like to continue to sponsor free dental clinics, but needs to be sure there is sufficient community interest to continue.

The clinic is by appointment only and has room for up to 8 patients.

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. 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.

Where’s the CTC Boat?

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. Please do not overload the carts and don’t put them on the float at Cousins when it is windy—several have been lost overboard!! SPRAYING FOR BROWN-TAIL

As part of this process, we’ll have several opportunities for learning and conversation about how to be inclusive of our LGBTQ sisters and brothers.

In May, we will have two more open conversations in the Parish House – a time for questions, sharing, and listening. These dates are: Sunday, May 5 th at 3 PM, and Wednesday, May 15 th from 7 PM - 8:30 PM. We will also have a question box in the Parish House, where anyone can drop a question about what it means to be a Reconciling Congregation, how this decision will impact the community, or anything regarding this process that will help you understand the issues. If you have any questions, please contact Pastor Melissa, Jackie Trask, Karen Corson, or Polly Wentworth.

Vision: To be a people of diverse traditions who welcome, worship, serve, and find joy together. Mission: To know and work with our neighbors near and far as we grow in God’s love together. Values:
