On Saturday, Sept. 14, resi-dents of Arundel celebrated Arun-del Heritage Day at the North Chapel Common on the corner of Limerick Road and Alfred Road, hosted by the Arundel Historical Society. Part of the Society’s Mis-sion is to foster a connection be-tween Arundel’s community and Arundel’s history, and to renew and reinforce Arundel’s sense of community. And it appears they did just that!

This is Arundel Heritage Day’s 7th year at this spot, and according to Donna Derkindenen, Treasurer, it was originally going to be held here for only one year, but it was so popular, and they had such good feedback, they decided to keep coming back! “It gets bet-ter every year!” said vendor Cal-vin Bryant from Kennebunkport. Bryant has been coming to the Society’s events for years, before Heritage Day, when the Society used to hold a Craft Fair at the school, and then a Heritage Day. “It’s a great community event,” he said, “a great get together.”

Board Member Costas Balom-enos said, “It’s a chance for us to show what kind of community it is – a good community.” He add-ed, “There were more young peo-ple this year, more families with young children.” Simone Bois-sonneault, another Board Mem-ber, added that there were more people from out of state, who have summer homes in the area and want to participate. “There was a nice crowd,” added Derkin-denen.

Though the weather was touch and go, the rain held off until the very end of the day. Old and new farm equipment was on display, cows, calves and horses were available for viewing, and there were pony rides and wagon rides. Live Entertainment played in the center. The 3rd Maine Infantry Company A set up their Civil War Encampment, offering living history and demonstrations. Near them, the local Boy Scout Troop

had set up camp. There were sev-eral vendors offering wood prod-ucts, knitted goods, seaglass jew-elry and more. Music filled the fields throughout the day from the Entertainment Tent, and several local businesses offered a variety of food.

There was a “Reminisce” Tent, “a place to sit, chat, laugh, renew old aquaintances and re-member. Photos, historical items, old documents and the Arundel Veterans Honor Roll were on dis-play. Folks were invited to sign the guest book, and check out the “Guess Who” Board.

Diana Abbott and Marie Le-may “held the fort,” volunteering all day at the Arundel Historical Society table. They sold T-shirts, calendars, raffle tickets and were in charge of the Donation jar. Ab-bott, who lives in Moody, taught in Arundel for five years. “It is such a part of me,” she said. She added that she saw some former students who came to say hello. “It’s so fun!” Lemay, a resident of Arundel for 51 years, said, “It’s a Socializing Day!” Both ladies added, “We love doing it!”

Contests were held in the af-ternoon. First was the Apple Pie

Museum benefits from volunteers

This weekend past, volunteers worked at painting the William Durgin House at Curran Village in Newfield. Dedicated volun-teer Bob Greenleaf of Newfield has been working at getting a new coat of paint on some of the buildings for the last three years at this area’s fifty-year-old non-profit museum. He previously painted solo the Letterpress Of-fice, Schoolhouse and the entire-ty of the Dr. Isaac Trafton House and restaurant. This September’s painting party included Bob’s wife Barbara, board members Irv and Karen Marsters of Ban-gor, Cal McGraw from Levant, and director Bob Schmick; Bob Greenleaf’s brother and wife, new residents to the area, will join Bob in the painting this week in what has become a family af-fair; Bob’s mother-in-law Ruth Durfee, another Newfield resident and faithful volunteer that many may have seen at the Victorian Kitchen in recent years, will cele-brate her 90th birthday with fam-ily and friends at the museum’s Old Sandwich Shop.

The Durgin House was built in 1813, and evidence of its’ age was made apparent as the crew scraped layers of paint away re-vealing interesting and skillfully

Hundreds of Maine residents put their lives and for-tunes in peril by connecting to the famous Underground Railroad that helped runaway slaves. From Kit-tery to Fort Fairfield, Mainers con-spired to break the law-- the Fugi-tive Slave Act of 1850—forming a network of illegal “safe houses,” hiding slaves from slave hunters and scurrying them to Canada. If caught, these Underground Rail-road “conductors” and “station managers” faced fines and jail. “Slavery was the one issue that has been able to tear America apart, and that included Mainers”, writes Leslie.

Baking Contest, sponsored by Kate’s Butter. Judy Balomenos won first, with her husband, Cos-ta Balomenos coming in 2nd, and Kristin Simmons-Fuhrman com-ing in 3rd. Next was the Ladies Skillet Toss. Donna Derkindenen placed 2nd in what she called, “the ‘geezer’ division.” Next was the Men’s Horseshoe Pitch, with official rules posted in the Pro-gram for the day. And the day ended with the “Tug for Arundel: Tug of War Contest”. The crew from Weirs Motor Sales took home the trophy!

The event was free and open to the public. It’s a fundraiser for the Historical Society, but also just a fun community thing. “We want to get people to know about Arundel, to highlight the town history and the people here,” said Historical Society President, Jake Hawkins. According to Hawkins,

the goal of the Historical Society is to restore the old houses here on the North Chapel Common and to build a new community building, “a 21st century grange hall,” a community building that can be used for events and edu-cation. “The school is the only place available for community events right now,” said Haw-kins. According to Hawkins, the North Chapel Meeting House was once here, but in the 50s, it was dismantled and moved to Kenne-bunkport. However, the field at this corner has kept its name.

The Arundel Historical So-ciety is located at 3 Talbot Dr in Arundel. For more information, visit their website at www.arun-delhistoricalsociey.org or find them on Facebook. Their next event is a Baked Beans and Pasta Supper on Saturday, October 19 from 4:30-6pm at the Mildred L Day School. “Join us for home-made beans, desserts, and won-derful conversation!”

created “scarfs” which were a method of fitting pieces of small clapboard lengths together so that the seams are unrecogniz-able. The clap board on the house largely dates from its’ origin, so this was a time before mod-ern machinery made long length clapboard possible. These boards were likely sawn at a water-pow-ered mill. Additionally, signs of the house’s first layer of paint was also revealed, and it is likely that the house was originally paint-ed red ochre, as such earth tones were the more likely choices than white at the time the house was built; white was often used for trim and colors like reds, yellows and greens used for the body of the house. A photo in the muse-

um’s collection evidences that the house changed significantly in the 1870s with the removal of a large central chimney in order to create an interior central stair-case for what was a long time inn, stagecoach stop and once includ-ed a public room ( to serve alco-hol). Two chimneys were added at the gable ends for the purpose of heating and cooking stoves. The current porch was also added at that time with its distinctive dec-orative knee braces that were cut with a scroll saw, and this too may have been a machine cut given the fashion of this type of scroll work made by innovations in machin-ery and decline of entirely hand cut work at this time.

Friday and Saturday, Sept. 27 and 28, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., 19th Century Curran Village at New-field, 70 Elm St., Newfield will

be open. The museum will also be open Oct. 5, 6, 12 and 13 as well as a number of fall field; the most in memory in fact making the sea-son’s total more than 2000 from area schools. Saturday, Septem-ber 28 will include interpreters in the Doctor Trafton House, Let-terpress Office, Blacksmith Shop, and Victorian Kitchen and tenta-tively other locations. There will be cider making and activities surrounding harvest time as well as the museum’s regular hands-on activities. Some early gas engines and Model T demonstrations are planned. A program of pickle and sauerkraut making in the Victori-an kitchen is tentatively planned. Visit our country store for end of season merchandise. Carousel rides are available with admission running at 10:30 and 11:30 a.m, 12:30 p.m. and 2 p.m.

Gun club celebrates with annual pig roast

The Northern York Coun-ty Rod and Gun Club’s annual roast was held on Sept. 21, had a turnout of about 40 people and we couldn’t have asked for better weather. We all gathered to en-joy the meal, had a chance to win great prizes, and enjoyed a day in the country with the company of the club members and other guests.

There were about 20 casse-roles, with baked beans, chili, mashed potato, squash, potato sal-ad, and more. Cookies, brownies, pie and bread pudding were on the dessert table. And of course, there was plenty of the main en-tree, roasted pig, to go around. It was all great, and I guess you could say that we all went away stuffed.

Chefs of the day were Lou Po-lianites, Jim Powierca, and Ray Hill, who had been there since before dawn, to roast the pig, for several hours so that it would be ready by noon. And, I guess peo-ple knew as they kept pulling into the yard. Tables and chairs were all set up under the new canopy, so we could all eat together.

After eating, I inspected the raffle table to see what the priz-es were, and there were about 38 prizes in all. There were mums, a copper bacon cooker, a set of sharp knives, 2 camp throws, a T-fal griddle, hunting knives, 2 ammo boxes, a hunting harness, hats, fudge and gift certificates. The gift certificates were from Walmart, Tractor Supply, Sub-way, Country Goods and Grocer-ies, and Market Basket.

Don Berry won the 50-50, which was $98, and then they drew the big raffle prizes. It has been a tradition every year to have 3 or 4 large ticket items, which the members sell chances for at various locations around

town and at some of the local fairs. Pam Fisher won the kayak and paddle, Mark Mercer won the $300 in cash; and Amanda Ever-ett won the Mossberg shotguns.

Sylvie and Shane Lamontagne manned the meal ticket table and sold chances to the big raffle items. Sylvie is the secretary for the club and her husband Shane is the vice president.

It was a great day and I just have to say this – I’m glad that I am able to put this on my calendar every year. It’s the best dog gone pig roast in these parts.

Help Taps clean out their freezer

Let’s all cheer for ice-cream and help Taps clean out their freezer. Thurston and Peters Sugarhouse at 299 Bond Spring Road will be having their annual fundraiser on Sunday, Sept. 29 to help with the local heating assis-tance for those in need. Accord-ing to Debi Hartford, all of the proceeds from the fundraiser will go towards the Newfield Heating Assistance Program, which their business has participated in for.the last 7 years.

The goal is “to clean out the ice-cream freezer so that our neighbors don’t freeze this win-ter.” All that is required is to stop by, pick out your favorite flavor, make a donation, and enjoy the last ice-cream treat of summer.

Happy birthday! Birthday wishes this month go

out to Denise Walker, Cameron Lewis, and John Winn.

The library gets a facelift

The Shapleigh Community Library has a new front door and covered porch. The library, locat-ed at 607 Shapleigh Corner Road was closed to the public on Tues-day, Sept. 17 in order to install the new handicapped ramp and roof over the new front door. It started with the front door being seriously in need of repair. It was an old door that was cracked and was losing heat and was constantly sticking.

Since the front door had to be done, this was a great opportunity to update the porch. Lighting was installed and a new composite decking with vinyl rails were built. The new construction will not need any maintenance and it brought the handicapped ramp up to code.

The new front porch and ramp looked like they have always been a part of the building. The reno-vations were done by Glover Con-struction. (See related photo on Page 1.)

On Sept. 18 Massabesic topped host Gorham 2-0. Mary Duffy scored the lone goal of the first half when she knocked in a rebound. Izzy Hurlburt finished the scoring with a goal off a cor-ner shot, fed by Micaela Jacobs. Julia Gregoire notched the shut-out with seven saves.

–By Michael DeAngelis

Ryan St. Laurent scored two touchdowns and Nick Roberge had 200 all-purpose yards to help lift Massabesic to a 13-6 win over visiting Deering on Friday, Sept. 20. Roberge connected on a pass to St. Laurent with 7:25 left in the first quarter to give the Mustangs an early 6-0 lead. St. Laurent ran the ball in for a score late in the second quarter to boost the lead to 12-0 and Ben Carroll added an extra point.

The Rams got back in the game when they put together a lengthy drive that culminated in a Travis Soule score with 2:11 left in the third quarter that made it 13-6. The key play of the game may have come on the ensuing drive with Massabesic facing third and long from its own 26. Roberge dropped back to pass and threw to his right, along the side-line, feathering a beautiful pass

Mustangs outlast Rams over the top of a defender to a streaking Ethan Roy who collect-ed the ball in stride and rumbled down to the Rams’ 31.

The Mustangs couldn’t punch the ball in for a decisive score, but took ample time off the clock and backed up Deering deep into their own end. Massabesic’s defense, which played well as a unit all night, was again up to the task and closed out the game.

Roy had 95 yards receiving. Ben Samson had a first half in-terception. The Mustangs pushed their record to 2-1.

Violet M. WoodsomeViolet M. Woodsome, a long-

time resident of North Waterboro, passed away on Sept. 17, 2019, at the age of 90. She has made her home with her daughter Brenda and her husband Myron Edg-erly for the last fi ve years.

She was born on Nov. 18, 1928 on her grandparent’s farm in Loudon, New Hampshire. Violet was the oldest of seven children born to Ralph H. and Amy Storrs Maxfi eld. At the age of two, the family moved to North Waterboro where Violet spent her entire life. She attended Waterboro High School.

Violet was a member of the Community Baptist Church, was a former Superintendent of the church Sunday school and was a Sunday school teacher and a member of the Church Ladies Aide. She was also a member of the North Waterboro Fire Auxilia-ry and was member of the Eastern Star; where she held many sta-tions, and was past Worthy Ma-tron of the Limerick Chapter. She was awarded a lifetime member pin from the Eastern Star.

Violet married Clarence Woodsome Sr. “Bud” on Aug. 17, 1946; they made their home in North Waterboro, “Woodsome Vill” as it was often called. She and Bud loved to dance and spent many weekends with friends at the Maple Trees dancing. Violet was a homemaker who loved to cook, can from her garden, try new recipes, but she will be re-membered by her family for mak-ing the best Apple squares around. Every Friday Violet had a stand-ing appointment to get her hair done. She was strong, stubborn and always a fi ghter, but most of

all she was a beautiful lady who loved her family.

When her three kids were in high school, Violet became a CNA and went on to get her LPN license. She worked for many years at the Hillcrest Manor in Sanford and also did private duty nursing. After she retired, she and Bud spent many winters in Flori-da enjoying the sun.

Violet was predeceased by her parents, Ralph H. and Amy Stores Maxfi eld, her husband Clarence Woodsome Sr., a son Bruce Woodsome, two brothers Ralph Maxfi eld and Edwin Max-fi eld and a sister Janet Brown. She was also predeceased by her long-time very special companion James Earl Sr.

Violet is survived by her son Clarence Woodsome Jr. “Bud-dy” and his wife Nancy, and her daughter Brenda Edgerly and her husband Myron all of North Wa-terboro. Three brothers, Roy Max-fi eld and his wife Eileen, Roger Maxfi eld and his wife Karen both of Loudon, NH and Ronald Max-fi eld and his wife Carol of Aledo, Texas; Nine grandchildren, Brent Woodsome, Lesa Woodsome, Lori Valley, Melissa Weymouth, Mary-ann Baker, Mark Edgerly, Carrie Jacobson, Cassie Wood-some and Cory Woodsome; Four-teen great grandchildren and three great-great grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews and two very special sisters-in-law, Shirley and Mary Maxfi eld.

A Memorial Service will be held on Sunday, Sept. 29 at 2 p.m. at the North Waterboro Commu-nity Baptist Church, where a re-ception will be held immediately following the service. Private graveside service will be held at Highland Cemetery in Limerick.

ALFRED

Books for JoeyMy husband and a friend

found much to admire among the crafters and vendors at the recent apple festival. We had agreed to meet the friend at the stonewall at noon and left her to scan the offer-ings of vendors, etc. most of them at bargain prices. Especially attractive to me were children’s books. I soon was toting about more than I had planned on. They weren’t for me or for grandchildren, but for Joey. I will explain.

We were vacationing on Cam-pobello Island, N.B. and attending the tea held each year as a fundrais-er for St. Anne’s Episcopal Church. This was really a “High Tea” pre-pared by the women. You wouldn’t think tea would be so popular but it is. For $10 you get tea and a home baked plate of goodies. Some wom-en attend wearing hats, everyone is dressed up, and served by the young girls. There are fl owers at each table and the line waiting for tea some-times extends out the door and down the walk. There is music, this year provided by my husband and his autoharp. The quilters have their quilts on display, hoping for sales, and on the side of the hall there is a food sale.

At my table last year there was a woman I had wanted to meet, Jo-ey’s mother. (It is a fi ne opportunity to meet people.) Joey was autistic and home schooled. He appeared to be very intelligent but did not talk. I knew him as the little boy who was learning to ring the church bell for the morning service – one of my cousins was teaching him how to do it. Because you talk to everybody at the tea, I was soon in conversation with his mother. She had two older children who had no problems in conversing. At one time Joey had said “Hi” to my husband who had felt very complimented by this brief exchange. Joey doesn’t talk to just anybody.

Because my husband and I had been distributing the household goods of a friend who had moved out of state, I thought of the many books which that included. Perhaps some could be handed on to Joey. I spoke to a cousin (I have a lot of them.) who drives to Connecticut to visit her son. Could I meet her in the Wal Mart parking lot in Biddeford with some books for Joey? Of course. No problem. And so it was done. When she returns to Campo-bello Joey gets his books.

At this time Joey has been the recipient of two bundles of books. What I purchased at the Apple Fes-tival will also head his way. It saves on postage, which isn’t cheap in Canada.

Library newsThe really great news at Par-

sons Library is that we have a new library director, Isabel Turk of Portland, who started on Wednes-day, Sept. 25. On Monday, Oct. 5, there will be an “Aloha, Aloha” from 12 to 3 to thank Gus for 12 great years and welcome Isabel Turk. Patrons are invited to at-tend.
