Island Handyman Jeff Wescott has already transformed the living room with gleaming white trim. After a protracted session of “decisions, decisions”, the walls will soon sport a restful shade of green. Let’s hope we’ll soon be able to host a community event so you can all enjoy the spiffed up digs!

Notes From The Council

ElizabethDoughty’s presentationon“Fall Prevention” was wonderful. Despite the cold and ice there was a great turn out and everyone really appreciated all the helpful information. The Hall’s new sound system and projector worked perfectly – thank you Chip Emery – and made a huge difference. Elizabeth and Coveside Physical Therapy services have agreed to provide more community education programs. Look for the next presentation in March which will focus on strength and mobility. Spring will come and you will want to be ready! Also, in follow up from the “Fall Prevention” presentation, remember the Council is sponsoring home safety assessments. Please call Coveside (508) 735-7507 and talk to Elizabeth for an appointment.

Soup Lunch to Go launched and sold out quickly. Sarah Hopkins and Sharon Rent are looking for volunteer soup makers, dessert bakers, and order preppers. If you appreciate the soup, you will appreciate how good you feel when you offer to help. The Council can reimburse you for the makings so save your receipts. We were glad that we could offer this first lunch for free. As we go on, we are happy to accept donations – and that includes making a soup – when you can. We are all looking forward to the time when we can eat together in the Hall! Until then, watch for Soup updates on facebook and Chebeague.org.

Winter Office Hours Monday - Thursday 9am - 4pm Friday 9am – 12:30pm

Parking at Cousins Island

New Security Cameras at Route One Lot! To deter thefts and vandalism at the Route One lot, CTC has installed video surveillance camer- as. The security recordings will not be monitored by CTC, but in the event of an inci- dent that is report- ed to law enforce- ment officials, sur- veillance footage will be made avail- able to the authori- ties upon request to assist in their investigation. Parking, as always, remains at your own risk, but we are hopeful the cameras will act a s a deterrent to any thefts or van- dalism.

experienced unprecedented congestion in the lot. For this reason, to help us keep our car counts to levels set by our lease (165 vehicles) and, more importantly, to ensure there are enough spaces for people with per- mits to park when they arrive, all second house- hold permits this year were issued with the condi- tion that they may have to move to Route One at any time at the discretion of CTC. Due to congestion in the lot, we have also increased our attendant coverage during the busy months. We will be patrolling the lot and ticketing and tow- ing cars that do not have a current year parking per- mit. To avoid being towed, please affix your 2022 per- mit to the lower driver’s side corner of your wind- shield. Make sure you re- move all prior year stick- ers. Thanks for your cooper- ation!

As the year-round popula- tion of Chebeague grows, so does the demand for Cousins Island parking spots. Unfortunately, we cannot make the lot bigger, and we operate with a va- riety of restrictions under the terms of our lease. Over the years, many peo- ple have moved to Route One, either by assignment or voluntarily. Our priorities for assigning spots at Cousins in 2022 were: - one spot per year-round household (155 permits) - a second car if there are two full-time commuters (11 total—7 full year/4 par- tial year) We also are required by our lease to provide 10 overnight permits to Yar- mouth residents as well as four designated Yarmouth day parking spots. We issued a total of 176 overnight permits for 2022. While this is consistent our practices since 2014, over the last two years we have

Thanks Scott! It is with great regret that we say goodbye to Office Manager Scott Martin. Scott joined CTC two years ago and was asked to fill some very big shoes. He brought great pro- fessionalism and expe- rience to the position as well as a healthy dose of Southern charm! His dedication continues as he will stay on during part of February to help us train our new office manager. All of us at CTC will miss Scott, and we know our cus- tomers will, too. We wish him all the best! Service Cancellations If you would like to be notified of cancellations in service due to weather, sign up on the Trip Cancellation page of our website— chebeaguetrans.com.

From the Town Office

On behalf of the Town of Chebeague Island, I am pleased to announce the appointment of Viktoria Johnson Wood as Chebeague’s new Town Administrator and Christine Auffant as Chebeague’s new Town Clerk. Viktoria Wood grew up on Chebeague after being adopted from Russia by Stephen and Beverly Johnson. She graduated from Greely High School and received a Bachelor of Social Work from USM. After living off the island for a decade, she returned to the island when her daughter started school and was soon employed by the Town of Chebeague. While working for the Town, she completed her Master of Social Work, but realized that her real passion was in municipal government. She was appointed Town Clerk in 2017. After a comprehensive Town Administrator search, First, thanks for the favorable vote (at the fall Town Meeting) on our proposed changes to the Shoreland Zoning Ordinance. We’ll continue to work on targeted areas in our land use ordinances to better align specific sections of the ordinances with our Comprehensive Plan and to better serve the community. Suggestions welcome! We are in the final rounds of drafting a proposed Open Space Plan for the Town of Chebeague. We hope this will be brought to the next Town Meeting for your consideration. And, separately, we’ve started work on a Conservation Subdivision Ordinance, with the

the Board of Selectmen appointed her to replace former Town Administrator, Justin Poirier, who recently became Monmouth’s Town Manager. Viktoria, her husband, Tom and two daughters live on Chebeague and are building a new home on the island. She has a deep commitment to the community and looks forward to working for the people of Chebeague. Christine Auffant has owned a house on Chebeague for 15 years and has lived on the island full time for five years. She has worked for the Town for five years as Deputy Clerk and assistant to the Board of Selectmen. Christine and her husband, Steve have two grown sons who live in Maine. Christine looks forward to continuing to work for the Town of Chebeague as its new Town Clerk. intent of aligning larger proposed subdivisions (currently defined as more than 4 lots) with our Comprehensive Plan and with the soon to be proposed Open Space Plan. Also, we continue to monitor developments in the areas of sea level rise and climate change that might have implications for our land use ordinances. We currently meet at 630pm on the second Monday of every month, via Zoom. The public is invited to attend; agendas and Zoom info are posted on the Town website and at all the usual locations on the island.

PLANNING BOARD UPDATE

Book StudyGroupwithGloria Brown Book Group returns with an 8-session study of Resmaa Menachem’s book: My Grandmother’s Hands: Racialized Trauma and the Pathway to Mending Our Hearts and Bodies.

Our plan is to meet weekly on Sunday afternoons at 3 o’clock for about an hour. As Covid recedes, we hope to move from the Zoom platform to a hybrid meeting, in-person at the library with a Zoom option.

Beginning Sunday, February 6 th , 3 PM via Zoom: meeting # 820 4556 3188 | password: 20152020 EVERYONE IS INVITED TO ATTEND FMI: gjbrown58a@gmail.com

From goodreads.com: In this groundbreaking work, therapist Resmaa Menakem examines the damage caused by racism in America from the perspective of body-centered psychology. He argues this destruction will continue until Americans learn to heal the generational anguish of white supremacy, which is deeply embedded in all our bodies. Our collective agony doesn’t just affect African Americans. White Americans suffer their own secondary trauma

as well. So do blue Americans—our police. This book paves the way for a new, body-centered understanding of white supremacy—how it is literally in our blood and our nervous system. It offers a step-by-step solution—a healing process—in addition to incisive social commentary.
