AUGUST 2020 CHEBEAGUE ISLAND COUNCIL CALENDAR

Community Matters

This summer has been like no other. Most of us are not seeing our summer friends and many of us are not even seeing our year-round island friends and family. Anyone taking the ferry or visiting the market has seen numerous changes in place to protect our residents and visitors. All the organizations on the island are dealing with the stress of COVID-19. With that in mind, this month we would like to shine the light onour FireDepartment and EMS crews. Currently with a roster of eight EMTs and 25 firefighters, they are on call 24 hours a day and 365 days of the year protecting us. Since thearrival ofCOVID-19 inMarch, safetyprotocols are constantly being updated, sometimes daily. This requires the team to attend numerous additional hours of trainings and meetings on how to protect all of us and themselves. The calls which sometimes arrive in the middle of the night or early morning are exhausting by themselves, but now require several additional steps for the crew. They now must wear the minimum PPE to each call: gloves, eye protection and an N95 mask. If the person they’re called on to help shows any sign of being COVID positive they have to break into teams with one group donning something similar to a HAZMAT suit and the other group staying back to remain uncontaminated in

order to help them on the other side of the call when they return back to the station. Back at the station, after the call, there is a lengthy decontamination process involving the crew having to privately strip down outside and bag their “dirty” clothes which are laundered on site. Then they must shower and have a new set of clothes ready to put on after. But before they can head home the boat and vehicles must now be decontaminated which is a lengthy process involving spraying a bleach solution among other steps. All this additional work is compounded by the fact that most of these folks have children and family at home that may become sick if a step is missed or PPE fails to protect. The emotional stress on the First Responders is accompanied by the fact that each call now requires double the time it used to. In the cold dark hours of the night, the job is an exhausting one. These are unprecedented times, no doubt; but along with adversity comes resilience, kindness, and community. Here on Chebeague, these amazing First Responders are there for us in our darkest hours with skill, compassion and a strength of heart and mind that should never be taken for granted. We send our sincere thanks and appreciation to all the members of the Fire Department and EMS crew; our neighbors and friends who keep us safe throughout the year. The Chebeague Island Council is happy to announce that Dr. Heidi Larson will soon be coming to the Wellness Center. Dr. Larson is a Family Medicine specialist. She is expanding her practice to include Chebeague Island and will see patients both at the Wellness

The Recompense Fund The Board of The Recompense Fund is delighted to announce we have become a 501 (C) 3 nonprofit organization with our own distinct tax identification number (see below).While many in our community may have already believed us to be so, it is only now that we have felt ready to take on our own operating responsibilities at a cost lower than having the Maine Community Foundation (MCF) do so. Nonetheless, we wanted to have a continuing affiliation with the MCF, and as a result the Board has elected to have them manage our permanent and board designated funds. All donations to Recompense should now be sent to our Chebeague Post Office Box 42, Chebeague Island, Maine, 04017.

Marty’s Memories - A Sea Change August 2020 by Marty Trower

Remembering these last four months wrapped in the uncertainty of an unprecedented pandemic is a strange process. It feels as though all the days were similar and yet dramatically different at the same time. I am finding I am not noticing and picking up beautiful scraps of nature when they leap out at me from the beach or paths in the woods on the island. I am not being reminded of small moments that moved me into the past. The present and the past do not share the same relationship anymore. I am still see-sawing through the days, setting new patterns to do with basic needs while staying safely isolated. Sometimes I feel rewarded, I would even say, comforted. For instance, those seeds I dropped into little watery dishes months ago are now vibrant, pushy teenagers ready to make their way to the sky. Getting them into the ground to grow to maturity was another matter and not fun. I hoed and crow-barred huge stones that were in the way, out of the way. I sifted clumps of bad lawn through make-shift screens and made nice soil. It did not help that only a few labels I’d made survived and except for some broccoli and tomato plants, I don’t know what any of them are.

I think I’m noticing my lack of patience when doing projects. Making the earth ready to plant the hearty seedlings in was strenuous and time consuming. I slept soundly afterward but always awoke with more to do. I looked forward to getting out of bed in the morning, though, to go outside and check on any possible changes overnight. The garden, pitiful as it might look now is evolving and I celebrate the growth of each happy plant, whatever it is but.... this is not enough. Behind this roller coaster of emotions around the gardening project, is the reality that the world outside our island, as well as in our own orb, is not the same anymore. Little did I know, when I wrote these words last month, that In just a few weeks now, I will be stepping into this sea of uncertainty, holding the hand of my best friend, and broaching our partnership in a new form of commitment.We are both wary and jubilant with our decision to marry, quietly and outdoors, on Chebeague. The sea will be with us, in whatever weather it sees fits to surround us in. We will be making new memories, together.

CHEBEAGUE TRANSPORTATION COMPANY What’s New at CTC? The new normal Well, it is anything but normal, but over the last few months CTC has worked to adjust to the current situation as conditions change. During this time, our staff and board have worked tirelessly to modify our policies and procedures in order to adapt in the most efficient way possible – with safety for crew and passengers as our top priority. Passenger limit on the bus and ferry: Our crews evaluated the space availa- ble – taking measurements – and determined the maximum number of pas- sengers (or in the case of the bus – seats) we could allow. On the bus we can allow nine seats to be occupied. On the ferry we can allow 32 passengers. (We were able to increase the passenger count from 20 to 32 through negoti- ations with the Coast Guard that allowed us to open the upper deck.) Parking at Cousins: While the bus service was suspended, we secured addi- tional parking on Wharf Road for residents that park at Route One. We required families with two vehicles at Cousins to move one to Route One and moved more Route One parkers to Cousins. When the bus service re- sumed, vehicles returned to their regular parking lot. However, because less people are going on trips or commuting, the Cousins lot is at capacity. Then why does Yarmouth have some reserved spaces? We are required to provide parking spaces to Yarmouth residents from a 1996 court order. Barging at a Discount: CTC offered discount barging to families coming to the island to quarantine in order to provide the safest transportation method possible. Passengers remain in their vehicles on the barge. They can bring supplies for the period of their quarantine – thus reducing their need to go out and provision on the island. Once their quarantine is over, they must barge their mainland car off the island in order to get the discount. We adopted this policy to address the concern of many residents about the num- ber of vehicles on the island. Priority boarding: CTC has a long standing policy that we cannot police who gets on the ferry first – or last. This complaint is not new. We have been asked in the past to force people going to the island for a wedding, etc. to board last. Because we felt that we could early board commuters leaving Chebeague easily – and because residents need to get to work – we recently adopted this policy. However, the situation at Cousins is much more com- plicated. The ferry is not docked for a period of time at the float. Early boarding doesn’t work. We do not have the ability to queue passengers (like an airline). Reduced schedule: CTC’s passenger count is down 70-80%. Through June, our net LOSS is approximately $350,000 greater than the same period in 2019. We are operating with a limited crew on the ferry and are working closely with the Coast Guard to ensure we are in compliance with regula- tions and guidance. COVID-19 ferry tickets: To allow for social distancing, tickets are no longer sold on the ferry. This has created extra work for our office and inconven- ience for our customers. Our employees have had to adapt to many new policies and procedures. They are doing their best to comply with the company’s rules. We ask for your understanding and cooperation with our staff. Thank you.

The town has been work- ing with the Army Corps of Engineers for several years to schedule dredg- ing at the Stone Wharf. The situation has become a safety issue for CTC. Coast Guard regulations require our captains to report all groundings, and under certain circum- stances that might trigger a full-blown accident investigation, taking the ferry out of service for the duration. Because of our worries about hitting bottom (or becoming en- tangled with underwater debris in the shallows), we have decided we must cancel trips on extreme low tides. Extreme low tides occur at various times throughout the year. Beginning in August, we have modified our pub- lished “Crew Assistance Schedule” to include these trip cancellations. This information will be readi- ly available on the CTC web page as well as in the monthly island calendar. We will also make sure that the Town of Chebeague is notified of ferry unavailability in advance so that Fire and Rescue has adequate time to arrange for coverage. We regret that we have to cause this inconvenience to our passengers and the community but we must do so in the interest of safety for everyone.
