The Pemaquid Point Association
SPRING 2007 NEWSLETTER
Volume 1, Issue 1
2/18/2007
Introduction by John Porter
We’ve made it to another Spring; I
hope you all have fond memories of
the past winter and are making plans
for another summer at Pemaquid. This
newsletter is a new idea we are trying,
to improve communications between
the board and the committee chairpersons and the membership. Inside these
pages you will find a write up by those
board members and committee
“chairs” and other key people of the
Association who want to tell you about
Sunrise on
our past and future activities. You will
also find a calendar of our activities for calendar year 2007.
I have volunteered to compile all of the articles and get it
into the mail for this year; but if anyone likes to do this sort
of thing I would be very happy to turn it
over to someone else. If none of the
adult members want to do it; maybe there
is a younger family member who would
like to do it? Maybe an extra credit
school project? It is fun; but takes some
time; any volunteers? I don’t want to
call myself the editor because I don’t
want to act as a filter between the writers
and the readers. I will only edit with the
approval of the originator if I believe an
is in need of correcting. So what
January 1, 2000 error
you see here will be the unadulterated
opinions and ideas of the writers. If you like this idea, let us
know at the annual meeting and we will continue it in the future.

Finances & such
by Bill Worth
It is the middle of February. It is cold here in Pennsylvania,
and snow is on the way. Summer in Maine still seems a long
way off. I often think back to last summer, with Mr. Moose
running down the street, and dashing into the woods, right in
front of me, of the frustrating times I had getting my wooden
speedboat seaworthy, and the friendships I made through the
Pemaquid Point Association.
I was reviewing last year’s Newsletter and noticed a
comment about the need for “Lighthouse Restoration”.
“Repair of brick, mortar and interior elements…” were mentioned. Last September Bob Kline showed me plaster and cement that had loosened from the stone and brick due to moisture damage, probably due to poor drainage. Anyway, it
clearly looked like a job for a stone mason.
There was mention of the American Lighthouse
Foundation, and its desire to seek funding for lighthouse restoration. There are many lighthouses in worse condition than
ours, but the Pemaquid Point Light is special to all of us.
PPA has about $12,000 in a saving account. I wonder
if we could all consider
helping with restoration by
collectively pledging, and
giving, say, $10,000
($5,000 from members, and
$5,000 from savings),
specifically to our lightBILL WORTH
house? The balance of the
funds could come from the American Lighthouse Foundation. I
simply raise the issue here to see if there is any interest in putting it on the agenda for our August Board Meeting.
I have been working as interim business manager for a small
private day school on the Main Line, outside of Philadelphia,
and loving it. I am out of there on June 30th, and bound for
Maine. Laurie keeps busy with her own schedule, and looks
forward to renewing friendships in July.
I am grateful to John Porter for the leadership role he
has taken in the PPA.

Having behind us a very fun and successful 2006 season, we
are looking forward to more of the same for 2007.
The wine and cheese party at Jemi and Dave Howell’s wonderful home, served to start the 2006 social season on a very
pleasant note. The variety of appetizers supplied by the
guests has convinced us that we would like to have a similar
event this year.
John and Carole German have graciously offered their residence for the event; and we are going to have it on the 6th of
July starting at 4 pm. Since the 4th of July is in the middle of
the week this year we are hoping that we will have larger
attendance by delaying to the Friday after the 4th. If you have

The Association’s constitution requires that each year, the
new board hold a meeting and elect the officers from among
the members of the board. After serving my first year with
the board as secretary, last year I was elected president. The
new board consists of 5 members that were relatively new to
the job plus Dana Small and Julie Burns who had been appointed in 2004. We “freshman” had to “turn to” and examine the job descriptions for our newly acquired positions to
assure ourselves that we were keeping the Association in
compliance with the constitution and state and federal regulations for “non-profits”. We stumbled a bit; but with some
help from Julie and Dana and the groundwork laid by previous boards (job descriptions) and the historical records available, we were able to move forward. Our first actions were to
make it easier for the next new board by identifying where we
needed to improve our documentation and take steps in those
directions.
Financial matters - The major items in that regard were insuring compliance with state and federal regulations pertaining to non-profit organizations and keeping in compliance
with IRS in regards to the payment of the Cottage Inspector’s
contract fees. Fortunately, new board member, Bill Worth
has a strong background in financial matters and was willing
and able to take the bull by the horns and verify that we were
indeed in compliance with state and federal regulations; except possibly for neglecting to issue IRS form 1099 for Contractor payments. However, being that the state and federal
governments may change these regulations anytime they see
fit, Bill recommended that we retain the services of an accountant qualified to guide us on these matters as well as act
as a consultant for the annual audit, preparing the 1099 form
or other matters. The board considered this and voted to adopt
Bill’s recommendations. Mr. Bruce Bachelder, C.P.A. of
Damariscotta was suggested; Bill Worth contacted him and
established an working agreement.
The Secretary’s job – Having served my first year on the
board as official secretary, I found that, being new to the
board, and being new to the duties of the secretary, things
were too concentrated in time and too numerous for one person to handle without impacting their personal life. If I had-
n’t had many hours of support from my wife, Pat, helping me,
I probably would not have done everything in a timely fashion, or at all. I had an “Assistant Secretary” to help me; but
there were no defined duties for this assistant and I didn’t
have time to try to figure out what an assistant could do and
do my duties as well. So, having been subjected to this for a
year, I brought this problem up to the new board and recommended that the secretary’s job be officially split into two
positions, Secretary and Assistant Secretary. The board approved this recommendation and we have been functioning
that way since last summer. Basically, we have a recording
secretary and a corresponding secretary’s jobs defined in the
new job descriptions. It appears to be working well and
makes the secretary’s job much more manageable.
Job Descriptions – The board took on the task of reviewing,
updating and re-issuing all existing job descriptions and creating new ones for the positions of Finance Committee Chairman, Cottage Inspector Coordinator, Social Director and Assistant Secretary. These newly revised job descriptions are
readily identifiable as they have the date (2006) and signatures of all the board members on each document.
The Nomination Process – For the past three years there
have been some expressions from some members that the
nomination process for new board members is possibly not as
democratic as it should be. I first
heard this the year that I was nomiSo, I think that

would complicate the process; but
still this idea continues to surface. I
have been asked to again, try to amend the constitution in that
regards this year. When I first heard this (2 years ago) I was
sympathetic with the complaint. However, when I found that

(Continued from page 2)
some of the board members would not have considered serving on the board if they had to suffer through a real election
(where there are more candidates than vacancies); and that
previous nominating committees had difficulties coming up
with sufficient numbers of candidates, I had to reconsider.
Then I remembered a previous Social/Civic Association that we belonged to for 31 years prior to joining
the PPA; that organization nominated in a very similar
way and everyone accepted it and it worked fine with
no complaints. So, I think that what this boils down to
is: what does the majority of the membership really
want.
Are we too closed in our nominating process? This is
an enigmatic question because, in the past, the nominating committee expressed difficulty in coming up
with enough qualified candidates; but at the same time
some members who appeared to be qualified, myself
included, were never approached. When past President Richard Johnson asked all past board members and officers to stand at last year’s annual meeting, it was an eyeopening event. All of the past officers and board members
were clustered together in one area and were a small percentage of the total number of attendees. Having witnessed that,
you might think that we were indeed too closed in our process. Then past President Bill Perry stood and pointed out that
serving on the board has been made easier by the efforts of
his administration and others that simplified the constitution
and by-laws into one document and updated the job descriptions to reflect current conditions. Bill then asked that members step up to the task of serving on the
board if asked; the hard part having been
done. In consideration of the above, it is
my belief, that if the process has been too
closed it was because of inertial omissions
rather than intentional omissions. Recognizing that we all have lots of other things
on our minds, PPA business is sometimes
left until the last minute; and then we do not
have sufficient time to contact a large number of people when seeking candidates to
the board. I brought this matter to
JOHN PORTER
the attention of the board last year
and the board instructed me, as president, to give guidance to
the nominating committee to improve in this area; rather than
considering constitutional changes. I took this suggestion to
heart and created a new job description for the Nominating

Millennium History Picture Book
As a choice residential place for families cherishing
their summers on the Coast of Maine, Pemaquid point
had its beginning as the 19th Century was turning into
the 20th century. What did the next Century bring?
This was the thought in Edith Hary’s mind
in 1998 when, as Historian of the Pemaquid Point
Association, she suggested to members the idea of a
notebook containing word and picture descriptions of
the homes at Pemaquid Point in the year 2000 A.D.
Many of you have given Edith your cottage
history, and pictures. If your family has not followed
through on this project, please let this be the time you
begin work on your contribution to the notebook.

You can be brief, with one or two paragraphs –
or as long as several pages, with one or more
pictures. We will complete this project during
the summer of 2007, so if you want your property included in the notebook, it is time to get
busy. John Porter, President, and Anne Lewis,
Secretary will welcome your contributions with
open hands.

Committee; this new document requires the nominating
committee to poll at least 30 members from the membership
directory and consider anyone who has served in the last 5
years to be at the bottom of the list. The board approved
this job description and the new nominating committee is
working to it.
It is the duty of the president to appoint a nominating
committee; I did this as soon as I could last summer. This
gave the new committee the fall, winter and spring to perform their work. The results remain to be seen. If these
new changes result in increased diversity in board member-
ship, then maybe we do not need any other changes. At any
rate, being one who hates to see good work go down the drain, I
don’t want to initiate any work on proposed changes to the constitution unless pre-approved by the membership. What is the
point in spending time and money on something that will not be
approved by the membership at the annual meeting? So if you
are unhappy about anything in the constitution, please bring it
up at the annual meeting; but be prepared to discuss and debate
it prior to the vote. I believe that the board will enthusiastically
work on any changes so mandated by the membership.
Respectfully yours,

To Vacation Land from Silver Spring
This has been a strange winter in Silver Spring with mild
and very cold weather and quite a bit of snow which of
course, sends everyone in this area into a tailspin. Schools
close and accidents proliferate. We are looking forward to
being back in Maine.
One of my favorite things about Pemaquid Point is the abundance and variety of activities open to the public besides the obvious
ones around the lighthouse. Russel and I try to
attend as many as possible and are always surprised how few neighbors take advantage of
them. First the demonstrations at the fort on
Saturdays and Sundays are always interesting,
even if you have seen then before. Children,
particularly, enjoy them. The lectures on Monday night at the museum given by the Friends of
Colonial Pemaquid may sound dull but we have
never attended one that we didn’t enjoy. I’m
sure you know of the Lion’s club’s “almost

Cottage Inspections
Cottage Inspector Report by Lynn Sparrow:
The cottage inspection season started with three open
windows at various cottages.
By mid October the winds
started to blow. As a result
there have been two phone
calls on downed power lines,
mailed notices concerning 22
trees down, one window partially blown in, shingles off
roof and a storm door blown open. The cold snap here has
helped to freeze the ground, slowing the tree blow down
problem..

The Fisherman’s Museum by Dave Evans
John,
It's quite spring like here with flowers up, the mock cherry
trees in bloom, and the birds returning; although I am
aware that Maine is still locked into winter. I've been thinking of the Fishermen's Museum over the past week or so
and thought I'd pass along some of those meanderings and
a few ideas that have come to mind. I should point out that
I'm speaking only of the Museum building that was once the
light keepers house, and not the lighthouse tower itself
which is a separate issue.
Shortly before we left last October some much needed
scraping and painting work was being done to the outside
of the structure. The building was starting to look quite
handsome again and I am assuming that the job was finished before the snows began. Inside, some re-organizing
of the displays and exhibits was also under way along
with the general cleaning and house-keeping. All should be
ready for the '07 opening in May.
The ground floor is made up of four rooms, the first being
devoted mostly to the Fresnel lens and a picture display of
the lighthouses of Maine. In the second and third rooms are
examples of nets, machinery, model boats, and tools used
by local fishermen both in the past and today, and of course
the stuffed twenty-eight pound lobster, always an eye
catcher.. In the third room is also a sand box arranged with
many shells from nearby shores and beaches which is a
stand out favorite with children of all ages, and their par-
ents also. The fourth room is a gallery of sorts with books of
photographs depicting the fishing industry and the history of
Pemaquid Point over the years, more ship models, ship's log
books and a children's table with an excellent selection of
books for young people. It has been my experience that the
exhibits are well liked by visitors and generate many interesting questions from them. The original keeper's house
was built of stone along with the tower in 1827. The present
building was constructed in 1857 to better accommodate
the keepers and their families. The upper floor is rented as
an apartment by the town of Bristol.
I have enjoyed my weekly three hour stints there immensely. I've met interesting people and learned much from
them. The volunteers to whom
I've spoken also
agree that the
time spent there
is enjoyable and
rewarding. As
with most activities of this nature, there is an
almost constant
need for new

hopeful looking.
One can’t keep but notice the missing mail box at
Blinn Road, looking in the brush pile, there it lies in ruins. A
few more steps at #47 only a naked post remains, this box will
certainly be put to better use somewhere else.
East Strand waits for the wild ducks which use it as a resting
place on their way north.
West Strand is real busy as some folk think of it as
our local Camden Snow Bowl the difference being that one
must be sure to turn hard left at the bottom as the toboggan
would refuse to float.
The white cottage with the green trim looks quite pretty
against the gleaming snow. The street light at the end gives all
a warm feeling, both on and off shore.
No doubt about it the highlight of the Christmas is the
giant star on the end of the Perry home. A real challenge to
those overhead.

Walking north at night, the flashing keeps us from
being lost—a new home is taking shape where the sheep herders house once stood, a very nice addition to the area.
Level lawns with their frozen spots invited skating parties
which never happened because local ordinances demanded no
one over fifty could partake.
Wild life consists of a few deer as well as a daily visit
from a beautiful adult fox.
Once in a while the smell of burning brush filters
through the trees, reminds one of years ago burning leaves, that
and the sea smoke certainly adds
to our fortunate way of life here at
Paradise Point.

As usual the annual Pot Luck supper will be held at Bob
Kline’s barn. We know from past experience that this is
where most want it to be and Bob has said that his barn is
always available for this event. All dishes will be gratefully
accepted. There will be a sign up sheet at the annual meeting if you wish to let us know in advance what you will be
bringing (along with an approximate number of quests you
will be bringing). In addition, we have found out that a reminder call the week before the supper works well and we
will do that again this year. The date is August 18th from 5
pm until we leave. Speaking of leaving, a thank you in advance for those who will show up the day before to help setup and then stay afterward in order to clean up.
Thanks to Bill Worth’s generous offer to assist my husband
and me with the parking for the Mile’s Memorial Hospital
Rummage Sale (which needs workers from August 12th

Pedaling Around by Fred Conron
It is mid-October. Yesterday, perhaps to remind
us of the “quiet” season and the thinning ranks of
tourists, a good-sized moose appeared at the
Lighthouse, pranced down Pemaquid Loop Road
and off into the woods, only to re-appear near
Grace Fritz's picture window before meandering
into the recesses of the woods. This morning he
was sighted again --- this time in the company of a
"girl friend." Cameras clicked and all who were
still present seemed delighted.
Then, late this afternoon, as the mists swirled in
from the sea, my wheels got me across an absolutely deserted Sea Gull parking lot --- and calendar Fall hasn’t even started. But the moose presence was still felt Another kind of tourist, I guess.
But now to the business at hand. Once more this
year, we passed out as many of the current Directories as possible to those who attended the annual
meeting, this year held in very suitable quarters at
the Bristol School. We garnered six new members
and a seventh returned to the fold after an absence
of some years. As editor and publisher of the Directory, I am pleased at the marvelous cooperation
shown by everyone in getting new information and
changes to me in due time for the publication in midsummer. If you have an item that should be included
in the next publication, please send it to me at [email protected] or pass it on to any Board Member of
the Association.
I take this opportunity to welcome to the Association
the following new members:
Michael Daley and Susan Thornton
Kate Enroth and Dana Schmaltz

I was not able to get acquainted with all the newcomers this summer, having been absent longer than
usual on personal business. If you missed getting a
