A honey of a jam
By Cynthia Matthews
A new specialty shop called
Naturally Jammin’ has recently
opened in Limington. What was
once a home daycare is now a
commercial kitchen where Jeddy
Nevells sells jams, syrups and other products made with all natural
ingredients and sweetened only
with pure honey.
So how did a daycare turn into a
jam store? It all began when Nevells’ husband Mike was diagnosed
with diabetes in 2004. Mike’s
blood sugar was up and down and
he didn’t want to take medication. In November of 2011, things
came to a head. “He just didn’t
feel good,” said Nevells. Mike
weighed over 350 pounds and
said, “I need to make a change.”
But Nevells had heard it so many
times before. She had done all the
grocery shopping, made all their
meals and packed his lunches for
him, but he hadn’t always stuck to
the plan. So, she made a deal with
him – if he could stick to his food
plan until January, she would help
him. She wanted him to shop with
her, to learn how to read the labels
and make good choices. His first
step was to remove all processed
sugars.
They started using honey as
a sweetener, and quickly learned
that it didn’t effect his blood sugar. “Mike seemed to like honey
better than other sweeteners,”
said Nevells, and he began to eat
oatmeal in the morning with cinnamon and honey. “It tasted good
and kept him full through lunch.”
So Nevells began to cook with
honey, and create a lot of recipes,
making her own BBQ sauce and
ketchup, as well as a homemade
dressing. They walked and hiked
together. Mike didn’t join a gym,
but just watched what he ate, and
by the end of the year, he had lost
25 pounds.
Mike’s doctor explained that
honey is a natural sugar, along
with maple syrup and molasses.
They had hit the jackpot, and to
Mike, honey was like liquid gold.
Mike’s downfall had been
sweets. “He loved sweets,” said
Nevells and thought, “I can develop a sweet.” So in the spring
of 2012, while at camp, Nevells
had guests over and decided to
try making a sweet treat. She had
made a rice flour crust, which is
low in carbohydrates, to make
pizza. She made a pastry with it,
filled it with raspberries and honey, put homemade granola on top,
drizzled it with honey and baked it.
“It was so yummy. Everyone raved
about it,” recalled Nevells.
Bread is another of Mike’s favorites. “I can make jam,” Nevells
thought. She began experimenting, with raspberry, and it took her
almost a year to thicken the jam
with honey. But she did it, and by
July of 2013, she had ten flavors.
In August, she sent her products
to the University of Maine Orono to get a Home Kitchen license.
“In order to sell products at stores,
you need to be licensed,” Nevells
explained. By September, she
presented her products to her first
store, Whole Foods. “They had not
heard of making jam with honey,”
she said. She brought in samples
for them to try, and they began
buying jams from her in the fall.
Today, she has 30 store accounts,
including the Hannaford stores in
Buxton, Standish and Waterboro,
and at the Willowbrook Museum
in Newfield.
Then she thought, “Mike likes
pie, and his favorite is apple pie.”
That’s when she began to make her
butters. “Butters are similar to jam,
but spread like butter,” Nevells explained. “It’s like apple pie in a
jar, without the crust.” That’s the
Apple Butter. She also sells Pumpkin Apple Butter. In the spring of
2015, she developed three syrups
made with honey.
During the busy season, starting in the spring, Nevells works
Monday through Thursday in the
kitchen, making her products.
There are 20-48 jars of jam in a
batch, and she is sometimes making jam three times a week. Fridays are usually her delivery days.
Aside from local stores, she also
goes to fairs and farmers markets,
and she is getting rave reviews.
In 2014, she was a finalist in the

or seven, when his father took him
brook fishing with worms. He grew
up in Saco, and he and his father
fished brooks in southern Maine,
most memorably Deep Brook in
Saco and Cook’s Brook in Dayton
and Waterboro. He recalls learning
young that fishing was good exercise, and it was also, “Neat to get
outdoors and enjoy nature and the
seasons. Also, if you’re successful,
you get to eat fish, and get all those
good Omega 3s!” He declares that
“Fresh fish is delicious, better than
in the store, so you get recreation,
nature and the bonus of food!” The
night we talked, he had just taken
a trout pie he froze last fall out of
the oven.
Asked if he has any fishing
memories that stand out, he recalls that, as a child, he and his
dad would spend the morning
fishing, from around eight to
noon. One day they were well on
their way to being done for that
day, and Webber had the privilege of wearing the creel on his
belt. “It was a little basket with
a little hole in the top where you
can slide the fish in and latch the
top shut, to carry it hands free.”
He recalls being more interested
in the three or four fish that were
flopping around in there, than in
the fishing. He kept opening the

Alan Webber of Indian Lane in
Lake Arrowhead is a fisherman, no
matter the season. In fact, during
the past month he has been both in
the water, casting flies, and on it,
ice fishing in the cove by the boat
launch on Little Ossipee Lake.
Laughing, he said, “I was in the
water fishing on New Year’s Day,
and ice fishing on two inches of ice
a week later, before the rains. The
December warmth kept the water open, and since that cove gets
shade, it freezes first.”
Webber has been fishing most
of his life, starting at the age of six

The Green Goods
Game
The Alfred Historical Society,
during its Jan. 19 meeting, learned
about a scam which was a “fraud
scheme popular in the late 19th
century” in the United States. Although how victims fell so easily
under the promises of the scheme
is difficult to understand today.
Between the 1870s and until the
1890s, fliers advertising the sale
of counterfeit money were mailed
throughout the U.S. and Canada,
and people fell for it.
A letter advertising “the best
counterfeit money ever produced
in the world” was sent, stating it
would only cost $10 for $100 of
what came to be known as green
money. The purchaser could buy
as much as $500 (counterfeit)
with $20 cash and could wait 30
days before sending the rest of his
money. Marge Anderson a member of
the Historical Society, became the
owner of one of these old solicitation letters and showed it to Bruce
Tucker, the society president. Had
he heard about this scam? He
hadn’t, but when researching the
archives of the New York Times he
learned the lengths to which scammers once went when separating
people from their money.
Clergy (always poorly paid),
bankrupt manufacturers, lawyers,
clerks, confederate soldiers, and
anyone else who might be desperate for funds were considered fair
game. Passing counterfeit money
was hardly considered illegal if
you could get away with it. And
many did. James McNally, one of
the chief operators, offered it as a
“quick and easy path to financial
security.” Often the “green goods” were
nothing more than newspaper or
sawdust bundles which the victim
might receive. If he complained
he was told the real money was
on the way and to be patient. Lies
continued until the victim realized he had been fooled and was
often too embarrassed to do anything but take his loss.
When one victim complained
to the police, (his package did not
contain what he expected but tin
foil) they searched the office of
two of the con men and found reams of circulars waiting to be
mailed, as well as stacks of replies from citizens who had sent
cash for their counterfeit money.
Amazing profits were made, including $10,000 gained by a con
man named Heckling; two others
had made $7,000 in one day.
How did it all end? In 1889
federal legislation made it illegal
to offer counterfeit money for
sale or to print the fliers. More
than 30 police men were indicted.
HONEY OF A JAM
(Continued from page 1)
When a Republican was elected
mayor of New York, he appointed Theodore Roosevelt as Police
Commissioner and Roosevelt
went after corrupt policemen. The
days of easy money, at least easy
money gained in this manner, had
come to an end.
There will be no Historical
Society meeting in February. The
March meeting will be in Parsons
Library with excerpts read from
“Misadventures on Campobello
Island”. The April meeting will be
held in Springvale, in the Goodwin House. Guests are always
welcome at the meetings which
start at 1 p.m. and usually deal
with local history. Reception held for
Greers
Many friends and neighbors
gathered at the Autumn Green Funeral Home to show their support
for Larry and Peggy Greer who
recently lost their home in a fire.
Besides a quilt which had been
made for them, and monetary
gifts, a partially completed wall
hanging was on display, which
needs the background filled in before it can be raffled off to benefit
the Greers.
The piece was begun by the late
Bea Montieth, a rug hooking instructor, and since then has had others working on it. A volunteer plans
to complete the background after
which raffle tickets will be sold.
Winter series
The first in the Conservation
Commission’s winter series will
be Tuesday, Jan. 26 starting at
6:30 upstairs in Town Hall and
will be a movie. It will be based
on the book by Doug Tallamy,
“Bringing Nature Home”.
There will also be activities on
Feb 20 and March 22.
Slates made for school
Alfred’s one room schoolhouse in Alfred Gore has been
provided with 39 slates, constructed by Almon Williams,
to give the school an even further air of authenticity. Youngsters from the Lafayette School
in Sanford visit each spring to
learn what school was like when
their
great-great-grandparents
were young. Or probably when
an even earlier generation was
young. Now the Historical Committee is looking for slate pencils
to accompany the slates, which
were cut from large pieces of donated slate. The schoolhouse is available
to classes who wish to experience a living history lesson. It is
also used on occasion by the Boy
Scouts and the Alfred Historical
Society. In former years it was the
meeting place for the North Alfred Community Club, the Ladies
Aid of the North Alfred Baptist
Church, and a snowmobile club.

It is the honey that make her
products unique. Once considered the “nectar of the gods,” it
has been a godsend for Nevells’
husband Mike. Mike lost 150
pounds the first year. He is no longer considered diabetic. He still
has his ups and downs, but, says
Nevells, “I am amazed at what
he was able to do.” Other diabetics have discovered her products
as well. Nevells says many people have said to her, “I’m a diabetic. I had your jam, I enjoy it
and it doesn’t effect me.” She’s
also had a client with a son who
was diagnosed with ADHD, who
could not have processed sugars,
but discovered her products, and
it seemed to have no effect on
him. “I help many people,” commented Nevells. “Helping children especially is very rewarding.
It keeps me going.”
After selling her products at
fairs, farmers markets and food
shows around the state, Nevells
decided to open her own shop in
her home. She opened for business on December 19, 2015.
Since then, she has added honey
cinnamon butter and maple butter.
And now, she is experimenting
with baking. “I make biscuits on
Saturday mornings for the shop,
and a honey white bread,” said
Nevells. People who come in
the shop pay for a beverage, and
can get a free biscuit to try with
her jams, syrups or honey. She
is currently working on making
a whoopie pie. “I’ve finally mastered the whoopie pie filling,” she
said. “Now I need to work on the
‘pie’ itself.”
There is a song from Winnie
the Pooh called “Everything is
honey,” and that is certainly true
for Nevells. In the spring of 2014,
she became a bee keeper, and currently produces and sells raw honey from her 15 hives. However,
Nevells commented, “I can’t produce enough for my business. But
I love beekeeping!” She plans to
add more hives, and maybe some
day, she will produce enough.
For now, in addition to her jams,
butters and syrups, she sells honey dippers, beeswax candles, and
all natural glycerin soap, all made
with, you guessed it, honey!
If you’d like to meet Nevells,
and try any of her products, you
can visit her Naturally Jammin’
store online at www.naturallyjammin.com, or in person on
Saturday mornings from 8 a.m.-1
p.m. at 18 Ryan Lane in Limington. She will be expanding her
hours in April, opening 2-3 days a
week and with extended hours on
Saturdays. You can also give her
a call at 590-9983.
Her motto: “Each batch is
made from the heart and kissed
by the bees!”

FISHING
(Continued from page 1)
top to look at the fish, so his dad
was urging him along as they began to leave. As they went over a
footbridge, young Webber tripped
on the edge of a board, fell and the
fish all fell into the water. “My dad
was not happy with me, and didn’t
want to waste the fish, so we
scrambled and were able to get
the ones that had been in the creel
longer and had less life in them. It
was not funny then, but seems a
little so now!”
As he grew up, Webber fished
in many settings, ocean, brooks
and lakes, and mostly with
worms. He didn’t start fly-fishing
until later, when he worked with a
group of men who went fishing up
north. “They took me with them,
my first time in a plane, and gave
me some equipment and some
quick pointers, and I was catching
trout on flies. I was hooked!”
He then went online to read
books, and realized that to be successful at catching fish, he needed
to study entomology. Webber subscribes to the “match the hatch”
method of choosing a lure. He describes how most aquatic insects
hatch out of the sand as nymphs
and when temperatures are right
they rise to the surface and then
fly as an adult. If mosquitoes are
hatching, the fly needs to be a
mosquito. “If there’ a good mosquito hatch and you throw anything else out there, they won’t
bite. It needs to be the right size,
color and shape. Once they start
on a food source that’s all they’ll
go after.”
He adds, “There’s always
something hatching but one is
more abundant so you have to
match that. That’s the trick, make
your fly look like that and move
like that. They may be laying eggs,
then yours needs to look and move
like that and that’s when you catch
‘em! One day, midges 1/8-inch
long, were hatching, I had a fly to
match it. When I saw fish come up
to grab the midge, I’d throw mine
out the way the natural ones fly.
They see the disturbance on the
surface and eat mine.”
Choice of fly is one challenge,
and then presentation of the fly is
another.
“You can fly fish your whole
life and never master it. You try to
make the fly move on the surface
the way the real ones do. First you
figure out what to tie on and then,
how to present it,” said Webber.
He describes casting as shooting the rod out like an extension
of the arm. There is so much to
learn in casting, as there are eight
or nine steps involved in just one
cast. It takes patience and practice. The mechanics and timing
have to be perfect. Some people
are expert fly casters. He says he
stuck with it because he really enjoyed it.
Flies are tied with feathers,
thread, tinsel, hair, fur, anything
to make it look like what the
fish see. Webber ties many of his
own flies, patterned after what
he sees in the fish environment.
“You can lift a rock and see what
bugs are there and work to match
them. The trick to see something,
go home and make a tie and go
back and try it. That’s another big
satisfaction if you tie something
original, that you won’t find at LL
Bean.” Webber creates about half
of the flies he uses. He also goes
bird hunting up north in October
and when he shoots a partridge, he
saves the feathers as they are good
for making a fly look and behave
as if it has wings.
Webber’s advice for anyone
aspiring to be effective at fly-fishing is to go online to study aquatic
insects. Then he asks the question,
why are the fish here? Are they
spawning? Are they following a
new bait source? There’s a reason
fish are where they are and what
they’re eating. He sees it as a puzzle. “Fish spawn once a year, at
different times, so the fun part is
unlocking the pieces of the puzzle
to see why I did good on one day
and not on another. I learn something new every day.”
“Some of the fun for me is
talking to other people and helping other people out,” said Webber.
He describes the people he’s
met both fly- and ice fishing as
friendly people; people who want
to take time to learn. They are
friendly, enjoy nature and like to
have a good time. “There’s a lot
of camaraderie; it’s like a brotherhood.”
Webber recalls a special memory of a trip up north when he and
his then 17 or 18 year old daughter
Celina made a trip to Rapid River
in the Rangeley area. He has two
sons, but they have no interest in
fly rods. So he and Celina were in
an area for fly-fishing only, catch
and release, and fishing for wild
brook trout that are measured in
pounds rather than inches. He
describes Celina as, “Very good
in her presentations; how she
makes the fly move seems real.”
He mentions with pride, that she
caught many fish, well over the
three-pound range. But then she
caught her biggest, at five pounds,
and she thought she was hooked
on a rock. She reeled for 15-20
minutes, which is a long time, as
reels usually last around two minutes. “That turned out to be the
fish of the day on the whole river.
To see my daughter do that was a
really good father-daughter time.
She did really well, a ‘chip off old
block’!”
Webber has two ice shacks,
one on Little Ossipee and the other in Hiram. He’s got heat inside
to stay warm. While he enjoys
the winter fishing as well, his first
love is fly-fishing. “It’s a really
neat hobby.”

Lions make sweets for
Valentine’s Day
The Massabesic Lions Club
will be holding their annual Chocolates Sale again this year. Boxes
of Chocolate will once again be
available in time for Valentine’s
Day. Production of these homemade treats is a major fundraiser
for the club and all money raised
goes back to the local community
in a variety of ways.
According to Marge Kiley,
chair of this year’s project, ten
flavors of chocolates will be available, and they can be ordered as
an assortment for $9 a box, or
by special order at $12. Assorted
boxes include the ten flavors and
both dark and milk chocolate.
The chocolates are all handmade
by the Lions and the Leo Club,
the Lions’ youth group. The major high-quality ingredients are
bought locally, the chocolate and
the boxes come from Cornerstone
Market and the flavor extracts
from Giles Family Farm in Alfred.
Members of the club will gather first to make the centers in three
workshops. Kiley and Lion Sue
Hatch will cook the ingredients,
and members will roll individual
centers, place them on trays, bag
and tag and freeze them. Then Friday evening, Jan. 29 a group will
gather to put 125 boxes together, place decals on them and cut
ribbons. Kiley says they used to
make 300 boxes, but there is less
of a market for sweets now, but
they still sell 125 boxes a year.
Kiley says peanut butter has
always been a favorite flavor and
a special flavor that will be available this year is espresso coffee.
On Saturday, Jan. 30 Lions will
gather in the Lions’ Den kitchen
and melt dark and milk chocolate
in large stainless bowls over hot
water. Others will place a layer of
chocolate in the bottom of little
paper cups, add a filling and top
it off with more chocolate. Boxes will be available for pickup in
the basement of the Lions Club
later that day. Orders may also be
picked up at Bingo on Monday
Feb. 1 or 8, at the Cabinet Meeting on Feb. 6 or at the bean supper
on Feb. 13.
To order chocolates, stop by
the Lions Den on Saturday, Jan.
30 to leave an order or phone there

Dudley returned to the pool
and won the 500 freestyle, destroying the rest of the field by
more than 35 seconds with a time
of 5:47.16.
The Mustangs won the next
event, the 200 freestyle relay, but
Yarmouth won the 100 backstroke
to keep the score tight going into
the final two events.
Massabesic’s depth, which
proved itself throughout the meet,
was the difference.
“It was the best meet of the
year, it was so close...we really
pulled together as a team, everyone is a part of the win when it’s
that close” said Dudley.
LaFrance, Abagail Darling
and Autumn Nostrum took to the
blocks in the 100 breaststroke and
the threesome pulled a first, third
and fourth respectively. The result
was a 9-4 swing in points for the
Mustangs, essentially sealing the
victory.

final event, the 400 freestyle relay,

Freshman McKenzy Ouellette (29 points) had 10 points
in the second quarter and 10 in
the fourth to pace the Mustangs
to a 56-39 win over visiting
Sanford on Wednesday, Jan. 20.
The teams started slowly,
combining for just 15 points in the
opening quarter which the Mustangs came a way leading 9-6.
Ouellette got going in the
second quarter, netting 10 of
Massabesic’s 21 points in the
frame and the Spartans (49) trailed 30-19 at the break.
The Mustangs (2-11) bumped
the lead to 13 with an 11-9 third
period and they closed out the
win with a 15-11 fourth.
Madi Drain had six first half

Beiner hit the podium three

gave her the gold, and National
Elite status in the high jump.
Elisabeth Redwood, from
Bonny Eagle, was the only
other athlete to reach National Elite status as her 58.80 in
the 400 was below one minute

Rams edge Mustangs
By Michael DeAngelis
[email protected]
Host Deering overcame a nine
point first half deficit, helped by 15
second-half points from senior Anthony Lobor, to lift them to a hard
fought 70-67 win over Massabesic
(10-3) on Wednesday, Jan. 20.
The victory pushed the Rams’
record to a stellar 12-1 and left the
Mustangs with a 2-3 mark over their
last five contests.
The first quarter was sloppily
played as turnovers from both sides
marred the action. Deering got out
early, leading 8-0 before Massabesic got on track half way through the
opening frame.
Tyus Sprague-Ripley got the
Mustangs on the board with two
free-throws, on his way to 13 total
points, and Ryan Gullikson (a game
high 26) hit a transition three-pointer
to close the gap to 8-5 with 3:36 left
in the first.
The two squads went into the first
break with the Rams leading 12-11.
The Mustangs moved the lead
up to eight at 24-16 thanks to a
spark from Adam DeAngelis who
was a big part of a 22-8 run. The senior came off the bench and added
a quick four points and an assist to
Gullikson who converted a threepoint-play with a bucket and foul.
The Massabesic faithful, who vastly outnumbered the home crowd,
roared their approval.
But not so fast, as the Rams came
out of a timeout, and began to finally take care of the ball, as well as to
convert with their inside game.
The result was a 10-2 run before
the break that left the score 31-30
Mustangs.
The third quarter was a seesaw
affair as the teams traded hoops, but
Deering closed with another late run,
this one more modest 8-5 but it left
them ahead by three at 51-48 with
just the fourth to play.
The Rams got their lead up to
six with under three minutes to play,
but the Mustangs were hanging
tough, getting quality minutes from
the bench as Riley (Jake) Caldwell
chipped in with a pair of field goals
and a pair rebounds.
Still, the Mustangs were having
trouble getting the lead down to one
possession and the Rams were making it tough as Ben Williams made
four consecutive free-throws – the
Rams were 15-24 from the stripe
while Massabesic went 10-15 – and
Lobor was busy adding seven points
to his team leading total in the final
frame.
With under two minutes left and
the Rams ahead 68-61 Josh Daigle
(8 points) put some life back into the
Massbesic crowd with a basket off
a steal and Gullikson followed with
a hoop of his own to cut the lead to
68-65.
The Mustangs could get no closer and a desperation three-pointer
with them trailing 70-67 at the buzzer missed.
Weston Bergeron and DeAngelis
both finished with six points.
Mustangs tame Scots
The Mustangs overcame a sixpoint first half deficit with 45 points
in the second half to pace a 68-59
win over host Bonny Eagle on Monday, Jan. 19.
The Scots lead 29-23 at the
break, but Massabesic erased all
but one point of the lead with a 2015 third quarter advantage thanks in
part to 10 points in the frame from
Tyus Sprague-Ripley who, for good
measure, added 11 more in a decisive
fourth on his way to a game high 30.
Massabesic scored 25 points in
the fourth to just 15 for the Scots (211) and the Mustangs got back in the
win column after a tough 63-61 loss
five days prior at Thornton Academy
(11-2). Gullikson had 13 and Dawson Renaud had seven in the contest
versus the Scots.
The Mustangs face South Portland at home on Jan. 22, then travel
to Portland on Jan. 26 and are home
again vs. Scarborough on Jan. 29.

they had five children and Dawn
became a devoted home maker and
housewife. She loved to tend to their
large vegetable garden and each
fall would spend countless hours
canning the bountiful harvest along
with making her famous grape jelly. Dawn was a talented baker and
