Notes From The Council

Summer is finally here! There are so many fun things going on, Fairs, Music, Celebrations, and Beach Days! With all this activity comes more traffic, cars, bikes, golf carts, scooters, walkers, runners – our narrow roads are crowded. Please slow down, stay on the correct side of the road, single file, and stay alert for the unexpected. Chedemption is in full swing, and the bottles and cans are adding up. Island nonprofits can sign up to volunteer for a week and share in the full year’s proceeds. Last year each nonprofit received all most $600.00! Not bad for a few hours work. And the best part is keeping all those cans and bottles out of the waste stream. Everyone can help. Please call Ann Thaxter, 846-3274, for more information. School House Seconds opened early this year. Hooray! Our volunteers report the shelves and tables are overflowing with a huge selection of amazing bargains. All proceeds go to support the Council’s programs including Fuel Assistance, health services, the Wellness Center, Chedemption, community mental health support, Soup Lunch, Flu Clinics, Health Fairs, 4 th of July Parades, the Calendar, and more. Look for the School House Seconds volunteers in their new bright orange School House Seconds

aprons to help you find what you didn’t even know you were looking for… The Wellness Center is happy to welcome two new providers. Dr. Tracy St. John and Dr. Victor St. John will be offering their unique chiropractic therapy on the second Friday of each month beginning July 8 th . Mend Health and Wellness has a specialized interest in soft tissue manipulation with a focus on pain relief for common musculoskeletal discomfort to sports injuries, work related aches and pains, and mobility issues of all kinds. For more information including appointment scheduling and insurance coverage please look at their web site gomendhealth.com or call their office at 289-6005. Please stop by the Wellness Center on July 8 th after 9:00 AM to meet them and learn more about this latest on-island health service. The Pihcintu Multicultural Chorus performance was incredible! They so appreciated the warm welcome from the Chebeague community, especially the delicious lunch provided by the Ladies Aid. They will be featured in a documentary film due for production later this summer. Perhaps some of the footage from their Chebeague performance will be included…

Chebeague Island Cemetery

Reclaiming Graves and Plots* The Town of Chebeague Island has requested that plot# 89 last burial date 1900 whose owner of record was Warren “Bud” Cowdrey, Jr. be reclaimed by the town in order to be added to the inventory of available cemetery plots. Should you feel that you have a lineal or collateral claim to the cemetery plot in question, please provide in writing, legal proof of lineal or collateral descent to the Superintendent of the Chebeague Island Cemetery, 192 North Road, Chebeague Island, ME 04017 on or before the 15 th of August 2022. If on receipt of the documentation and approval of the Superintendent and payment of perpetual care at current rates, a deed will be issued. If no claimant comes forward, this lot will be added to the cemetery inventory. *Town of Chebeague Island Cemetery Rules and Regulations Administration 7 g. Reclaiming graves or plots. The Town may reclaim plots or graves that have been abandoned for interment for 75 consecutive years or more. This involves a “substantial search” by advertising for existing heirs or devisees. If no owner can be found, then the cemetery may use up to one-half of the unoccupied lots [Title 13 MRSA subchapter VI, sec. 1381]. 3 Administration 2 e . . . 2. If more than one person claims the lot through either lineal or collateral descent, all parties must prove their connection to the original owner of the lot by providing documentation. 3. Claimants must reach an amicable decision regarding use of the lot and file a written and signed agreement with the Town Clerk before a burial permit will be issued. 4. Should the parties not reach an agreement, the Town will not arbitrate, and the parties may pursue their claim through legal means. 3 Though the Statute refers to “perpetual care and maintenance”, this is not the issue here; it is abandonment. Chebeague has always provided care and maintenance, whether the owner of the plot has paid for perpetual care or not.

Interesting Tick Facts

5 Little-known Facts Related to Ticks It’s summertime, which means more sunshine and more time outdoors playing, hiking and exploring nature. Unfortunately, this can also mean more quality time with some of nature’s most nefarious pests. Ticks, which are commonly encountered in tall grass and wooded areas, are one such notorious pest. And it’s important to make sure that you protect yourself and your family.

1. Ticks are not insects. It’s true. Ticks are not insects, although they are often mistaken for them. Ticks are actually classified as arachnids, or relatives of spiders, scorpions and mites. If you look closely at a tick when identifying it, it kind of resembles a spider with its four pairs of legs and lack of antennae. 2. Ticks are mini, real-life vampires... They want to suck your blood. Did you know that ticks require a blood meal to survive. That’s right! Ticks require blood for sustenance. Blacklegged ticks, for example, primarily feed on the blood of white-tailed deer, but they will also bite mice, small wild animals, birds and humans. 3. Ticks are daredevils. Ticks don’t jump or fly. Instead, they crawl up low brush or grass to find a host. Then, they clasp on with their back legs and reach their front legs out to grab onto a passing animal or human. This process is called questing. Sometimes, they even drop from their perch and free fall onto a passing host. Talk about a risky move!

4. Ticks are dog lovers, too. Some ticks species, like the American dog tick and brown dog tick, prefer dogs as hosts. Unfortunately, dogs are often easy targets when playing in the yard or going for a walk in wooded areas. If you’re a pet owner, don’t forget to check FIDO frequently for ticks, especially after walks or playtime, and regularly wash bedding and plush toys. If you have an indoor/outdoor cat, be sure to check it regularly for ticks too. 5. When it comes to feeding, ticks are in it for the long haul. Unlike many other biting pests, ticks are adapted to feed for long periods of time. They bury their curved teeth deeply into the skin of a host, so they can remain securely attached for days on end to eat. It’s important to note that ticks typically require 24-48 hours of feeding before they can successfully transmit infections like Lyme disease, so prompt removal is crucial.

Were you surprised by any of these tick facts? Ticks may pose a threat to our health, especially during the summer when people – and pets alike – spend increased amounts of time in the great outdoors. However, that doesn’t mean we all have to stay bunkered down on house arrest over the next few weeks. If you plan on taking advantage of the warm weather by hiking, biking, camping or going on an outdoor adventure this season, just make sure to follow these five tips to prevent tick bites.
