Notes From The Council

As another year comes to an end, the Council would like to thank everyone for their support. Winter on the Island is calm and beautiful. Some think it is the nicest time to be here. Once again, you recognize everyone on the boat, the number of cars on the road dwindles, you actually know who you are waving to, and we all seem to appreciate the less hectic pace. The community comes together in a special way. The challenges of life on a Maine island in the winter often bring out the best in us. Whether it is that extra help from the CTC deck hand on the

snowy ramp, the neighbor who plows out your mailbox, or the volunteer Soup Ladies whose hot soup warms our bodies and wards off winter isolation. But winter can be cold, grim, and lonely too. The cost of staying warm and safe has increased dramatically. As a result, the Fuel Assistance Program is seeing a significant increase in calls for help. Donations to the Fuel Fund are needed. Please send your donation to the Council at 247 South Road. Neighbor helping neighbor is who we are. Thank you.

Service Cancellations

While CTC recognizes that many people rely on our service to get to school, work, or other vital travel, the safety of our passengers and employees is paramount. We always try to provide as much notice of service interrup tions as possible but there are times where the safety of our passengers and employees warrants can celling trips on short no tice. Please review our policies below. To receive important service an nouncements from CTC, please sign up on our website at ctcferry.org on our news and info page. Bus Service: If school is cancelled in Yarmouth, the first bus of the day is automatically cancelled. There will not be a notice of this trip’s cancellation. All other trip cancella tions will be communicat ed as soon as possible. Ferry Service: When deciding to cancel a boat trip, we will consider not only the ability of the boat to run in the storm, but also our passengers’ abil ity to safely board and exit the boat. Therefore, con ditions where the wharves, ramps, and/or floats are unsafe will re sult in a trip cancellation. This would include high winds making the floats rock dangerously (usually at Cousins), storm surges that put the top of the Stone Wharf under water, and excessive ice and/or snow on ramps, floats, or wharves.

Thanks to our (Patient ) Passengers and Crew! Just after Labor Day, as many of our customers know, CTC rolled out a new ticket system designed by RocketRez, the same ticketing company that serves Casco Bay Lines and the Maine State Ferry. While we were excited to get this system off the ground, we anticipated—as with any major change—there might be some “bugs” to work out. Hence, we decided to wait until the off-season to “go live.” We were right! While we are very happy overall with how smoothly the sys tem has worked so far, we have found areas that need improvement and are collaborating with the ticket designers to improve the service. In the meantime, our year-round passengers, along with our deckhands and ferry crew, have been the guinea pigs as we put the system to the test, identify ing glitches and areas for in need of attention. CTC thanks all of you, our passengers and crew, for your patience as we continue to improve our ticket system.

Ladies Aid Fair The Annual Ladies Aid Fair is always a huge success! People look forward to it and the line starts to form well before it opens! There are so many gorgeous handcrafted items – hand knitted hats and scarves, note cards with original photos, aprons, placemats, ornaments, and many, many more. This may be the only place where you can still buy beautiful, hand embroidered dish towels and

pillowcases! There are pies, homemade breads, and brownies. Here is where you can order your Christmas wreath with the festive bow. And then, there is the FUDGE. It flies off the table while claims that “it isn’t for me” or “I don’t really eat it” are passed along. And the piece you eat as soon as you get in the car, hopefully, goes unnoticed.

CHEBEAGUE ISLAND HISTORICAL SOCIETY December 2022

The Rest is History...

The Chebeague Island Historical Society was founded on April 6, 1984. After years of hearing folks say "we ought to," Donna Damon decided we should! More and more items from our history went to the dump as island homes were converted to summer cottages. Occasionally, documents and old pictures were saved because Martha Hamilton made it known that she would gladly house these items at the Library until a historical society was formed. If it had not been for Martha, much of the island's past would have been lost forever. Other people were watching the dump and sifting through the refuse that came from island homes. Alice Bowman and many others found important record books and photographs that they donated to the Chebeague Island Historical Society. Other islanders held onto fami ly items for us. Mabel Bennett Hill found many examples of Chebeague 's material culture on the dump, which resid ed with Joan Robinson until we acquired our current home, the District 9 schoolhouse. The founding of the Chebeague Island Historical Society was a community effort from the very beginning. Following an island tradition, island organizations were approached for support, and they eagerly responded. For example, the CIHCC, the Chebeague Island Council, and SAD 51 were essential players. The CIHCC and the SAD 51 gave us a place to meet, and the Council gave us our first donation to pay for incorporation. While the spring and early summer of 1984 were spent creating by-laws and becoming incorporated, by fall the Socie ty was presenting programs and planning for the future. (Adapted from The Sloops Log, Fall 1998)

Thanks to all who submitted guesses for our November photo! Special recognition to: Polly Smith Hunneman, Jane Frizzell, and Marjorie Munroe, who came the closest to identifying all of the students. The photo was taken in New York City in spring 1951 and shows the Chebeague High School classes of 1951 and 1952 on their class trip . They ranged in age from 16 to 18! L-R: Dorothy and Barbara New
