October 2020 • Issue #10 • Chebeague Island Council Calendar

On the Cover It’s Here!!

The deadline for submissions for the November issue is noon on October 20. Advertising rates are as follows: full page, $70, ½ page, $35; ¼ page, $20; 4-line classified, $5; 6 to 8 line classified, $10. Each submission should include the intended publication date, size wanted, and the number of months the ad should run. All ads must be paid for at the time of submission. Early in 2020 Caroline Loder realized she wanted to put more time and energy in to making functional art. Her goal is to create a ceramics program for the clay-lov- ing children at the Island School. After many months of waiting for the kiln to arrive it is finally here, and Caroline is excited to get the children, and clay loving grown-ups too, busy letting their creative energies turn into mugs and pots and all manner of creative whimsey. Thanks to Caroline and a grant from the Island Institute and the Tom Glenn Fund, we can all enjoy this opportunity to get our hands dirty, learn a new way to express our inner creative spirits and have fun!

OCTOBER 2020 CHEBEAGUE ISLAND COUNCIL CALENDAR

Community Matters

I would like to publicly thank Dr. Kip Webb, Chebeague summer resident and medical as well as Public Health expert whose educational videos can be found on the Chebeague.org website under the COVID link. Kip has worked tirelessly to help Chebeague residents gain access to free on-island testing for those with symptoms, or anyone at high risk for contracting COVID-19 (for example, someone who has had close contact with a person who recently tested positive for the virus). Kip’s expertise and hard work, along with the help of Dr Jim Cox-Chapman, has been instrumental in forming the Chebeague COVID Testing Team (CCTT), a group of volunteer health professionals who offer a safe, reliable on-island COVID “swab and send” test so that a person at high risk for COVID is not taking the boat and potentially exposing others to the virus. I also wants to express my gratitude to our minister, Melissa Yosua-Davis, for securing sponsorship from the Methodist Church for the CCTT to access funding from the Recompense Fund, so the CCTT is able to pay for supplies, pager and e-fax servcies, and sample transport, in order for the CCTT to do its work. As of mid-September, the CCTT has performed almost 100 tests on Chebeague since July 5th. With only a few positive cases that were unrelated, this testing helped ensure the store, the Island Commons, the Town office, the Slow Bell, and other on island organizations could continue to operate safely, as well as expanding the access to information about the virus, which we think helped prevent an outbreak.The CCTT has now been used as a model for other Maine communities. I also want to acknowledge

the contributions of Bev Johnson, Leila Bisherat, Chip Emory, and Eliza Jane Adams for helping design and disseminate information for use by all on Chebeague to stay safe and healthy. A final thank you goes to the many volunteers such as Donna Damon who have tranposted the cooler bag to Uniship so that safe transport to the State lab can occur in a timely fashion. Though Kip and Jim are heading home to California and Connecticut respectively, the CCTT will continue to operate this fall, thanks to other health professionals here on the island stepping in to volunteer, including Nancy Hill, RN, Ann Bowman, RN and Jackie Trask, retired RN. If you think you may have COVID, the first thing to do is contact your PCP. If they agree you should get tested, and you want to do it on island, please text the CCTT volunteer on duty at 347-656-7524 or leave a voice message at 207-264-0007 and the volunteer will get back within a few hours to discuss your situation and arrange for your test; testing is typically offered twice a week. If for whatever reason you do not get a reply in a few hours, call me- Jenny Hackel, RN team leader at 734-660-3461 and leave a detailed message.

Remember, since the CCTT is not providing medical care, only increasing access to the test, so be sure to follow the instructions of your PCP. The CCTT viral samples are transported to the Maine CDC state lab in Augusta by courier and are free of charge. Most test results turn around in 72 hours or less, and the test report will be sent by the volunteer to your email which you can then share with your PCP. -Jennifer Hackel The Wellness Center with a MaineHealth Nurse Is Open for Blood Draws, Blood Pressure Checks, PT/INR Testing, Medication Setup, Dressing Changes, Suture Removal, Wellness Checks, and Health Information.

Marty’s Memories - Climate by Marty Trower

The cold came to us this weekend to remind us that it is time to stop fussing about face masks and sunscreen. I see the need to get mentally and physically braced for the time ahead because, you know, living year-round on a real island is different. Weather plays a big part in planning for it. Yet weather is as mysterious and unpredictable as the certainty that it will impact our daily lives here. Weather is something we share with others and react to with immediacy. Apparently. it is defined as referring to short-term changes in the atmosphere, whereas climate describes what the weather is like over a long period of time in a specific area. Different regions can have different climates. ... Weather tells you what to wear each day. I’d say we need to be thinking about climate on our island in the months ahead. Here’s an example. The pandemic has kept people out of each other’s homes. This actually worked well for me. I spent a lot of early pandemic time pulling out and organizing clutter. Most of it did not belong in the house but could not be thrown out or even given away. I took a huge lot of it to the garage and to the space above the garage. Finally, after months of doing this the inside

of the house is looking and behaving better, although still not ready for visitors. However, there isn’t room to store a toothpick let alone a car in the garage. I need to plan something here. What will the climate be like here this winter and spring? Will there be ice storms that knock out our power and make it impossible to get up hills, either by car or by foot? Will there be snow that accumulates and builds walls around the accesses and exits to our homes? Will there be long periods of bland grayness with no contrast in light and dark, no movements of air and light? We still won’t be able to travel safely, to visit friends and relatives or explore new places and meet new people. We will still be entering stores and public buildings with extreme caution when we venture to the mainland. We won’t be able to gather the way we have in safe distances on our lawns bringing our own refreshments. What will it be like this year? I see it as a challenge that this island community is so ready and able to meet. We are a creative lot, and I look forward to seeing how we do it so we can defy the weather and love the time given to us here.

Absentee Ballots for November 3 rd – There has been a lot of buzz in the news about absentee and mail-in voting so we have gotten many questions.

October 2020

CHEBEAGUE TRANSPORTATION COMPANY What’s New at CTC? Important Changes at CTC CTC announces a change in leadership with the pending November retirement of Carol Sabasteanski, general manager. Sabasteanski joined CTC in 2010 and has directed re-organization and modernization of the company, most recently with the design and con- struction of the Independence and her leadership under COVID-19 . Matt Ridgway , currently Assistant General Manager, will assume the position of General Manager of the company. Matt joined CTC in 2013 as a Captain after moving to Chebeague with his family. In 2016 he was promoted to Senior Captain and in 2019 to Marine Operations Manager. Earlier this year, he was promoted to Assistant General Manager. Matt has spent most of his career working on the water - where his travels took him from Nova Scotia to Venezuela and around the Carib- bean. Prior to joining CTC, Matt was the Waterfront Manager at Port- land Yacht Services and director of the Marine Learning Center (USCG licensing school). In 2019, Matt played a critical role in working with Washburn & Doughty on the Independence ’s construction – making regular (often weekly) trips to East Boothbay to check on progress and consult on issues. His knowledge of Chebeague’s ferry service has proven invalua- ble to CTC and the community. After becoming the Marine Operations Manager, Matt took full respon- sibility for marine operations, including management of staff, schedul- ing, training, and overseeing maintenance. Additionally, during the last two years, Matt has trained in various aspects of managing the company. In his role as Assistant General Manager, Matt has contin- ued to oversee marine operations while becoming more familiar with mainland procedures. Beth Putnam has been promoted to Senior Captain and Safety Of- ficer. Putnam joined CTC in 2004 as a deckhand. Under a CTC spon- sored program, she gained her captain’s license in 2006. Beth has consistently shown leadership skill and a commitment to the company and the island. She is a natural mariner—understandable given her place in a long line of sea-loving Chebeaguers. She lives on Chebeague with her family and is also a member of Chebeague Rescue Services.

Business Office: (207) 846-5227/846-3700 16 North Road, PO Box 27 Chebeague Island, ME 04017 chebeaguetrans@gmail.com chebeaguetrans.com Please check the ap- plication and terms and conditions care- fully to ensure you will qualify for a Cousins Island per- mit before applying 2021 Annual Parking Permit Applications Applications for an- nual parking per- mits will be mailed by November 1st to current permit hold- ers. The applica- tion will also be posted on the “Parking Service” page on our website and can be picked up at our office after 11/1/2020. The deadline for Cousins Island annual permit applications is December 1, 2020. Applications re- ceived or post- marked after that date will be issued a Route One permit.

Reminders! By court order, the Town of Yarmouth has 15 spaces at the Cousins Island Lot. Yarmouth issues ten annual passes by lottery. The five daily spots are on a first come - first serve basis. Due to issues in managing Yar- mouth daily parking spaces, CTC and Yar- mouth agreed that we would designate 4 post- ed Yarmouth spaces. These spots are policed by Yarmouth. Daily parking at Cousins Island is based on availa- bility. Access to the lot is purely on a first come - first serve basis. Day parkers must be out of the lot by 5:30 PM. For the month of October, day parkers cannot enter the lot until 7 AM due to lack of space. Overnight parking at the Cousins Island lot is allowed only for persons holding a regular annual parking permit. CTC management re- serves the right to make exceptions in special cir- cumstances.
