The Chebeague Island Historical Society was founded in 1984 and has become a vibrant and
integral part of the Chebeague community. The Society strives to help folks appreciate the
island’s heritage so they may better understand the place we live in today as we plan for the
future. The Society acquired the District 9 School House in 1998, which was in disrepair after
being used as the Town Garage for 45 years. The building now houses state of the art storage;
exhibit space; a 15,000-piece photo collection; and a research/meeting room. More than 2500
people visit the facility annually, and membership exceeds 400. In addition to being a community
resource, the CIHS presents well-researched exhibits, programs, and house tours and publishes
the Sloop’s Log twice a year.

Toll of the Sea Dedication and State
Recognition of Mabel Doughty
The 4th of July celebration
was, as usual, fabulous. And,
as usual, it would not have
happened without all the
hard work of so many. We
are all very grateful to all
those super people who were
willing to put their own commitments on pause
to help make a truly wonderful day for the
entire community!
Sunday August 21 at 1:00 p.m.
at the Chandlers Cove Field
The Chebeague Island Council will be holding
the annual membership meeting on Saturday
August 13 at 9:00 a.m. at the Parish House.
We encourage all members to attend. Come
welcome our new board members and learn
about all the great things this volunteer board
has accomplished this year and our plans for the
upcoming year!
Please come and participate in the dedication
of the Toll of the Sea Memorial that was made
possible by contributions in memory of Sanford
Doughty. Living on the sea is dangerous and,
Chebeague has lost more than its share of folks
over the years.
In addition, last spring the Maine Legislature
issued a Legislative Sentiment in honor of
Mabel Doughty for her long-time dedication
to the Chebeague Community. Our State
Representatives and others will be on hand to
make the posthumous presentation.
We hope you will attend this meaningful event.

Garden Matters: Invasive Plants by Erno Bonebakker
Mary Holman’s article in the June Calendar described the potential
human health issues caused by ticks. In this article we will discuss
another aspect of the tick problem, the exotic and invasive
plants that contribute to the explosion of the tick population on
Chebeague.
A small portion of the exotic plants that we humans have imported
from other places for their agricultural or decorative value, or
by mistake, become invasive pests. Some we call weeds, but
others cause less apparent but nevertheless significant problems.
Officially, an invasive plant is defined as an exotic (from away) that
is likely to cause economic or environmental harm or be harmful
to humans. A characteristic of troublesome invasive plants is that
they spread rapidly once established and outcompete the existing
native plant species.
In the Casco Bay region, some of the most widespread and
troublesome invasive plants are Oriental bittersweet, Japanese
barberry, bush honeysuckles, common reed, and black swallow
wort. Each of these species is troublesome for a unique reason.
Many additional species are considered invasive, and more are
expected to arrive as our climate changes. In addition, some
species such as crown vetch are invasive in particular
situations, although not considered a regional problem.
Roughly two thirds of invasive plant species were purposely
introduced, while the remainder arrived by accident. For example,
the European strain of common reed was introduced accidentally
through its use as a packing material for shipments from Europe
during the nineteenth century. It has since spread—to the detriment
of the less aggressive native strain.
The big problem with Japanese barberry is that it hosts ticks that
carry Lyme and other diseases. Research by the Maine Lyme Disease
Swee’pea Vintage Signs
Order your custom chalk painted and framed
wooden sign for your home or cottage.

Great gift for new home owners,
weddings and as a baby gift!
Research Laboratory has shown that Japanese barberry and bush
honeysuckles offer an enhanced habitat for ticks and the small
mammals that host tick nymphs. This impact on human health
creates an additional reason to manage the spread of invasive
plants on our island landscape, not only for the sake of the native
habitat but also to improve the health of our human population.
Black swallow wort, on the other hand, endangers the beloved
monarch butterfly. Swallow wort, a native of southern Europe
and a member of the milkweed family, is mistaken by monarchs
for common milkweed, the sole plant on which monarchs lay
eggs and their caterpillars feed. In addition to overwhelming
native plants once it is established, swallow wort is poisonous
to monarch caterpillars. Its wind-dispersed seeds make it an
especially worrisome threat and, thus, an important one to manage
aggressively when first detected.
Oriental bittersweet is a fast-growing perennial vine that can
overwhelm and kill large trees, as it has done on Little Chebeague.
Clipping the vines can keep it in check. It is so widely distributed
in our region that it cannot be permanently eradicated, since birds
tend to eat the seeds, get indigestion because of their exotic nature,
and quickly drop them on nearby land.
Japanese knotweed must be disposed of with care, as the root
fragments easily resprout. Cuttings and roots are best placed in
the garbage compactor, where they will eventually be burned (for
energy), rather than dropped in the brush dump, where they may
be recycled, spreading this pest to new sites.
We are burdened with the often innocent mistakes of our ancestors
in the case of invasive plants, but doing our best to practice good
stewardship today will hopefully leave Chebeague a healthier and
more vibrant place for our descendants.

PEACE OF MIND...No strings attached!
We’ve taken the call too many times: an elder has had a
sudden medical issue, or taken a fall, and the need for
assisted living is urgent. Frantic family members call
Island Commons, but we have several people already on
our list for rooms, and the wait could be months or more.
Sadly, the only bed available is in a bare bones facility far
from the island. You can avoid this situation with one
simple step: add your name to our Wait List now... BEFORE
you need assisted living!
Here’s How it Works...
Fill out a simple form with basic information, and we’ll
add your name to Island Commons Wait List. There’s no
fee, and no obligation. If a room becomes available, we
consult our Wait List, offering the room on a priority basis
until someone says, “Yes, I’m ready to make a move now”.
It’s entirely your decision. If you’re not ready, your name
remains on the list gaining priority position over time. You
may never need assisted living ...but if you do, wouldn’t it
be better to have the option to stay on Chebeague? Add
your name to our Wait List now and join us when you’re
ready. Call Amy Rich for more information.

For nearly 20 years, Island Commons has served ALL members
of the Chebeague Island community, enabling our elders to
remain in the place they love while receiving excellent care
from dedicated and skillled staff. We are committed to the
chebeague Island Community...Thank You for Your Support!

AUGUST 2016 CHEBEAGUE ISLAND COUNCIL CALENDAR
One Man’s Island by Bob Libby
August is the month of boats swarming around
Chebeague Island. If one spends any time this month on
our island, one will be surrounded by boats. No more
romantic image exists than the vision of white sails on
the limitless blue horizon. Explore the beaches or picnic
on Rose’s Point or Deer Point. Listen to the steady pulse
of lobster boats tending traps just off shore. Barges and
ferries arrive and depart overloaded with passengers
and all the necessities of modern society. Water taxis
fetch technicians to service the high-tech connections
we all rely on. Have you ever explained to customer
service that the repair van can’t just drive here?
Making the turn on the John Small Road, one is
confronted by the new industry of the boat yard, a
bustling marina serving boaters from all over Casco
Bay. Fortunately, the sailing club still thrives and young
people are learning to sail and venture out onto the
LnL Enterprises
106 Cottage Rd • Chebeague Island, ME 04017
sea. Summer breezes are punctuated by the occasional
boom of the starter’s cannon, and dozens of sails can be
seen heading toward a distant mark.
The floats at Stone Wharf, Chandler’s, and Cousins Island
maintained by the Town of Chebeague are choked with
commuter boats that haul residents and workers back
and forth every day. Kayakers paddle along, stopping
at camp sites on Little Chebeague or Crow Island along
the Maine Island Trail.
Imagine the times when all the boats used sails, the
stone sloops returned from a summer of work, packets
carried rusticators from Portland, and fishermen went
out with nets and filled the hulls of Friendship sloops
and dories with fresh catch and hauled them to market.
What a glorious confusion that must have been.

Wellness Matters: The Healing Power of Pets by Jenny Hackel
As summer unfolds and our new “rescue kitty,” Maggie,
enjoys exploring the outdoors, I am reminded of both the
joys and the responsibilities of having a pet. Although I
am forever grateful to the person who rescued Maggie
from the streets of Boston in the freezing cold of
January, I recently realized that Maggie also rescued me
from depression and stress-related anxiety this winter.
For, while our pets need us to care for them, we also
need them for the wealth of good they do us.

We all know that pets provide companionship to
humans. That bond can be so strong that many pets have
earned full status as family members. This connection
goes back to ancient times, where in some cultures,
pets were buried alongside humans. Did you know that
because countless people refused to leave their pets
behind during Hurricane Katrina, Congress passed the
Pets Evacuation and Transport Standards Act, allowing
federal agencies to create emergency animal shelters in
natural disasters? As a nurse practitioner who is always
interested in the ways in which alternatives to traditional
Western medicine (mostly pharmaceuticals and surgery)
can promote health and battle disease, I was fascinated to
read about the many health benefits of having a pet. First
of all, children who grow up with pets are less likely to
have asthma and allergies. And caring for a pet is a great
way to teach children responsibility, while also building
their self-confidence by having a companion that gives
them unconditional love, trust, and respect. Researchers
looking into the specific reasons for such benefits have
found that interacting with your dog increases your levels
of oxytocin and dopamine—hormones involved in social
connections—and decreases levels of cortisol, a potent
stress hormone. No wonder scientists have found that
having a pet can lower blood pressure as well as some
140 South Road

pills do. And going out to walk your dog is a good way to
get more exercise and develop cardiovascular endurance.
Finally, having a pet teaches us about death and dying as
a natural part of the life cycle.
Service dogs were once used only to help deaf or blind
persons, but now they are trained to aid people
with a much broader list of physical ailments. Dogs can
be taught to sense when an epileptic child is going to
have a seizure, enabling better protection. Service
animals also improve the functional levels of
people with cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, and
muscular dystrophy. For instance, horseback riding can
increase disabled riders’ control over limb spasticity or
leg weakness, and the bond formed with the animal
exponentially increases their experiences of joy in a
world so full of limitations.
Pets have also been shown to enhance the mental health
of people with serious psychological disorders.
As Alzheimer’s disease progresses and those affected
become disoriented and easily upset, reasoning with
them can be futile, but focusing their attention on
a pet can be calming and replace their agitation with
happiness. New research is shedding light on how similar
outcomes are seen when specially trained pets are paired
with people affected by chronic pain, drug addiction,
eating disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, attention
deficit–hyperactivity disorder, learning disabilities, and
autism.
As I watch Maggie discover the world, I realize that
sometimes scientists merely provide proof of what we
all knew intuitively: pets enhance our lives and our
health in countless ways.

Marty’s Memories: Aging and Change by Marty Trower
I’m realizing that aging and change are both slow
processes. What surprises me is how my own outlook
on change is so different nowadays. Is that part of
aging? Some changes I’m noticing on the island might
be so subtle that recent visitors may not be aware of
them. One has to do with property boundaries.
It used to be (and I’m remembering the East End
part of the island of my youth) that we crisscrossed,
barefoot of course, woods, fields, paths, and lanes
without a thought that we were disturbing others or
trespassing. There was always visiting and banter. We
knew everyone. I don’t remember when this friendly
ritual changed because it has been so gradual—and, it
is still around, for the most part. Just different. Or is it?
We used to swim and play at the shore, rocky and
sandy, in the coldest water imaginable, and love it.
Today, kids mostly choose the heated pool and
organized activities, and love it. But they also visit
the beach and create and leave the most imaginative
works of art. This tells me they are truly experiencing
the island.
Today, we—young and old—are still making our
memories here. And loving it. Breathing in “that
Chebeague Air,” stopping to savor it, and sharing it
with others. That’s not going to change. It changes
us, though, stays with us through the ages and binds
us together.

CHEBEAGUE TRANSPORTATION COMPANY
What’s New at CTC?
A Reminder on Some CTC Policies
annual
member
meeting
Our third annual
member meeting was
held on July 23rd at
9 AM at the Island
Hall - after this
newsletter went to
press.
Look for a report on
the meeting in our
September newsletter.
Weekday Worker Passes at Cousins are valid Monday - Friday
from 6 AM to 7PM only. Passes are not valid on weekends except
for local lobstermen. Workers with this pass who use the Cousins
Lot on weekends are subject to availability and a $20 daily fee.
The Town of Yarmouth has 15 designated spaces at the Cousins
Island Lot - per the 2008 agreement between Yarmouth and
Chebeague. Ten passes are annual parking permits issued by
lottery by the Town of Yarmouth. The other five passes are daily
passes issued on a first come - first serve basis.
Day Passes are for same day or next day return only. Multiple
passes to extend the visit for several days are not allowed. Day
passes are not valid at the Cousins Island lot.
Daily parking at Cousins Island is based on availability. CTC
needs to reserve five day spaces for Yarmouth residents. Beyond
that, access to the lot is purely on a first come - first serve basis.
Summer office
hours are 9AM
to 4PM - Monday through
Friday
Overnight parking at the Cousins Island lot is allowed only for
persons holding a regular annual parking permit.
Events on the
Island - Let us
Know!
We would like to remind our customers of CTC policies regarding
transporting commercial freight on the ferry.
CTC management reserves the right to make exceptions as it deems
appropriate.
COMMERCIAL FREIGHT POLICIES
Please let the CTC
Office know if you are
having group travel
on our buses/ferry.
We definitely need to
know if 15 or more
people will be traveling so we make the
trip as comfortable as
possible for everyone!

Freight should be delivered by the 12:15 PM ferry

Freight should not be delivered by dual wheel vehicles

Customers who are not on the ferry must notify CTC of the delivery in advance

All unaccompanied freight must display customer’s name

Freight must be picked up at the ferry directly after the boat returns to Chebeague

Freight fees must be paid upon delivery to Chebeague.
Congestion
on the Wharf
at Cousins
Island
Summer months are
busy on the Island, and
especially busy on the
Cousins Island wharf as
CTC buses and other
vehicles load and unload
passengers and freight
for the ferry.
By Town of Yarmouth
ordinance,
vehicular
traffic on the wharf is
prohibited from Friday
afternoon to Monday
morning during the summer.
CTC has ordered more
carts and is keeping a
supply at the Cousins lot
for our customers’ use in
transporting freight. If
you are walking to the
lot and there are many
carts on the wharf,
please take one to the lot
with you.
Here are some other
suggestions to help:
 Wait for passengers
in the CTC parking
lot.
 If
possible, drop
passengers in the
parking lot instead
of on the wharf.
 Don’t drive down to
the wharf to leave
freight if you can
carry it from the
parking lot.
Business Office:
(207) 846-5227/846-3700
Being a Good Neighbor…

CTC has added stations for dog
waste bags at the Cousins lot
and Route One lot. We have

units at both lots and the wharf.
Please help us keep theses spaces as clean as possible!

THANK YOU
Thank you to Ralph, Doug, Lisa, and Officer Mailman for
coming to my rescue, and to the CTC crew for getting me
across. It was a comfort to know I was in caring hands.
Forever grateful,
Sam Birkett
HEARTFELT THANKS
Heartfelt Thanks
I want to express my thanks to the Chebeague Fire and Rescue team, especially
Ehrhardt Groothoff, who rode with me in the ambulance, and Jon Rich, who
happened to be working at our house and dropped everything to help, and the
CTC crew for bringing me over to the ambulance waiting on Cousins. I ended up
spending a week in the hospital.
The whole team was highly professional, efficient, and kind; it isn’t easy getting
the ambulance to our home on Deer Point.
Finally, I would like to thank the many folks who came to visit me and who asked
after my well-being. Maricel daily passed along each of your good wishes.
We are deeply grateful! Jeff Hahn
