Welcome to summer in Readfield, Maine. I hope that everyone finds an opportunity to relax and en- joy our community’s offerings even if very busy.

During this season after the more heavily scheduled budget time, your Select Board meets monthly to hand regular business and a couple of additional times for more specific purposes. Here is our planned schedule and any changes or additions will appear on Readfield’s website:

On July 9th there will be a regular meeting of the Select Board at 6:30.

July 23rd is the Select Board’s annual retreat to review, update, discuss, and set our future goals from 4:00 to 8:00.

Coming up on August 3rd will be our summer residents meeting at 5:00. Refreshments will be served and we’ll hear updates from town committees and hopefully lake associations.

On August 13th there will be a regular meeting of the Select Board at 6:30.

All these meetings are currently tentatively planned to be held at Town Hall.

Have a safe and memorable summer!

Take care; Bruce Bourgoine

Mount Vernon Food Bank

People in Readfield who find they are in need at any time during the year do not have to go hungry. The Mt. Vernon Food Bank, located at the First Baptist Church in Mt. Vernon, serves the people of Readfield in addition to Vienna, Fayette and Mt. Vernon. It is open every Saturday morning from 9:30am to 12pm and is supported by the schools, churches and individuals from the area.

Those who are not in need of the food service can become supporters of the Food Bank with tax-deductible checks made payable to the Mt. Vernon Food Bank.

If you are in need of help during off hours, please call: Betty White at 480-1525 or Helen Wilkey at 293-2351.

3 Due to changing world markets for recyclable materials we are in urgent need of ensuring that we send clean loads of recyclables to our recycling partner ecomaine. This means it is imperative that each of us only puts material in the recycling compactor that actually recycle according to the direc- tions from ecomaine. Please see the flyer on the opposite page for details and post in your home.

The Solid Waste and Recycling Committee has been meeting regularly to stay on top of the changes and how they affect our Transfer Station. We have made recommendations to the Transfer Station manager and to the Readfield Select Board in efforts to control increased costs. When we send loads of recyclables to ecomaine that are contaminated with trash items we are being billed a penalty based on weight. In order to control costs and not have to increase charges to residents we must do a bet- ter job of recycling as a group.

Our Transfer Station Manager, Eric Dyer, had our maintenance worker build, paint and install two awesome signs next to the recycling compactor at the Transfer Station. The employees have posted a great list of recycling tips on a large chalkboard placed in front of the recycling compactor. These will assist us in putting the correct items in the compactor.

Staff at the Transfer Station are diligently assisting folks during open hours reminding folks of what can recycle, what not to put in the compactor and looking through some open bins to assist folks in pulling out easily identifiable non-recyclables.

The Readfield Select Board approved a motion authorizing the Transfer Station Manager to increase his time spent dealing with the Transfer Station, including more time spent on site there, and to hire a temporary employee as a Recycling Educator. The Board is very interested in the recycling situation and supportive of education efforts to residents of all three members towns.

Thanks to all who are making recycling better in our communities.

6 Now That’s a Win - Win!

Last fall at the University of Maine, Senior engineering students gathered together to hear project proposals from communities around the State. In order complete their graduation requirements these students need to be involved with a “real world” capstone project that demonstrates their skills and knowledge. The University works to match groups of talented students with communities in need of engineering design and planning work. One of the proposals the students heard last fall was for review and design work at the long dormant Giles Rd. Bridge in Readfield. I should note that this is the second year in a row that the Town of Readfield has not only presented to this program, but successfully engaged a team of student engineers. Last year they helped initiate the design process for improved traffic flow at the Transfer Station. This year they developed a potential solu- tion to the question of what to do with a crumbling redundant bridge that has been closed for over a decade. This year, the student engineers also won a BIG trophy and prize money for their work (the money and trophy were from the University and affiliated professional engineering organizations).

I want to thank the members of OK! Student En- gineers (Amanda Barnett, Paige Martin, Parker Midura, Brigitte Parady, and Brianna Smith) for their work for the Town of Readfield, and con- gratulate them on their success. I also want to thank the Readfield Road Committee, and partic- ularly William Scott, for their support of this col- laborative program. Thank you to Dale Potter Clark for her help in identifying historical narra- tives and photographs, which were important con- siderations for the team.

While there remain many alternative solu- tions for the bridge, we now have the benefit of a fresh set of eyes on the structure and one proposed solution (removal of the existing bridge and the installation of a pedestrian bridge) that delivers a high degree of technical feasibility while also acknowledging the historical significance of the Factory Square area and the granite abutments that the Giles Rd. Bridge rests upon. It has been a long time since the bridge was closed but the problem hasn’t resolved it- self. My hope is that the design work performed by OK! Student Engineers can be a means of renewing dis- cussion of the bridge and prompting action to find a solution before the bridge, and the abutments is rests upon, fall into the Mill Stream.

The Road Committee will continue to discuss this issue, as will other Boards and Committees in their respec- tive roles. We will also need to hold a neighborhood meeting and reach out to the broader community to gauge their feelings on the balance between access and cost, the value of the past, and the needs of the present. I wel- come and look forward to the discussion!

6/20/2018 Stone repair at Kents Hill Cemetery The new Tri Pod was put to work, up righting large stones such as the “Karsten” stone that had fallen this winter. I was able to do this with the knowledge I obtained by attending MOCA workshops. Thank you Anna Carll ~ Sexton

Our trails continue to see activity as the weather steadily warms up. Recently as several volun- teers were clearing a “landing zone” for some blue stone placement on the connector trail, what appeared to be a hover board came cruising down the trail. Upon closer inspection it was a rider atop a wide board mounted on a fat tire. The tire appeared to be about the same size as a wheel- barrow tire. Adding to the spectacle were the flashing red lights mounted on the front of the board. Quite the sight! The Community Pathway trail running from the library to Church Road via the the back lots of the Maple Tree School and the Union Meeting House will be the location of a unique event sponsored by the Readfield Town Library and the Readfield Union Meeting House. Gnome huts and fairy houses will be built alongside the trail starting behind the library. The huts and villages will be constructed of all natural materials that will be provided. Readfield children are invited to help construct the village. The event runs from 10:00 am to 12:30 pm on June 30th. Recently Trails committee members and two community volunteers erected three new trail signs and did some litter removal at the new esker trail. The trail has also been blazed for easy access. The first sign is located next to the RSU # 38 building adjacent to the transfer station road. The RSU has also given access for parking next to the building. Our plan is to eventually place wood chips for ease of walking along the trail. The second sign is placed as you exit the woods to cross the old en- trance road to the transfer station and the third sign is located just before the old landfill cap as you enter the woods on the right. It is well worth the trip out to the esker along the 1.1 mile trail. As mentioned in an earlier Messenger article, we are well on our way to mapping the Readfield trail system using state of the art software. The ultimate goal is to provide new maps that accurate- ly project trails entrances, landmarks, and distances. Don Rahmlow has graciously provided the soft- ware and guidance for this project. Committee members Ken Clark, Rob Peale, Greg Limebach, and Henry Whittemore have led the charge on getting this accomplished. The Readfield trails will be used during the Readfield family festival on August 11. The Trails Committee will be sponsoring an Easter in August egg hunt and more at the Fairgrounds Trails. This event will be for children as well as adults. A variety of prizes will be awarded. As you can see, our trail system is a hub of activity that offers something for everyone. When us- ing the trails, aleways check for ticks when finished. Since May 1st, 40 volunteers have spent 81.5 hours on various trail maintenance projects for a total of $1,188 worth of in kind labor. The Trails committee appreciates the support residents have provided both financially through the voting on June 12th and physically through volunteer labor and use of the trails for healthy activities. Enjoy summer one and all and see you on the trails.

Volunteer and / or committee membership available. Call Greg Durgin @ 685-4481

9 Smoke Alarms Save Lives Age Friendly Committee is working with The American Red Cross are installing

Fire Safety teams will install FREE smoke alarms and help you create an emergency escape plan.

Sign up for a FREE home visit by calling the Town Office at 685- 4939

At a recent seminar on fire safety members of the Age Friendly Committee learned then that smoke alarms should be changed every ten years and when you are testing the alarm, you are actually testing if the battery works and not the smoke alarm.

If interested in having your alarm checked or a new one installed, call the Town Office at 685- 4939. The American Red Cross will provide the free alarm and assist with the installation.

It's Strawberry Festival Time at the Readfield Union Meeting House!

We are hosting the 2nd annual Strawbery Festival on Saturday, July 7th from 1:00-3:00pm on the front lawn of the RUMH.

Tables and chairs will be scattered about the lawn for you to relax and enjoy the company of friends, neighbors, and family. This can be a wonder- ful activity for you to entertain those out of town guests that are here for the 4th of July week. New this year, we will be selling “shortcake-to-go.” The RUMH Board wants to thank The Big White Barn for helping to sponsor this year's Festival. Our homemade pie sale will be going on at the same time. It's a busy time of the year, so people are happy to buy a locally made dessert to serve to family and friends. Important to remember is that in case of rain the Festival will still go on. We will use the Maple Tree Commu- nity School which is 2 doors down from the Readfield Union Meeting House at 12 Church St.

The Readfield Union Meeting House Board is pleased to announce that our former Board President, Marius Peladeau, was presented with a Spirit of America Award this past Saturday at the Readfield Town Of- fice. Mr Peladeau is currently serving on the Board as Vice President & Historian. He has been and still is a “driving force” in getting the RUMH restored! Thank you.

With the completion of the subfloor restoration in June , 2 new projects are well on their way. The bathroom is being reinstalled and an electrician is scheduled to do the rewiring throughout the building.

The RUMH will also be offering activities on August 11th during the Readfield Festival. A free Quilt Show from 9:00am – 2:00pm is being offered.

Can you imagine that waterway with clusters of industri- al centers? And did you know there used to be six summer resorts and kids’ camps on Torsey and the Mill Stream; or that one is reputed to be the first camp for boys founded in the State of Maine?” Please join us! You will also learn about the important work that the Torsey Pond Association does to maintain the dam and the health of the pond.

RHS SUMMER INTERNS: Three summer interns are working at RHS this year, on various projects. They are all Readfield residents and college students. Ashlee Dunn attends UMF in Farmington. She is returning to RHS for the third summer so knows the ins and outs and is well versed about our vari- ous procedures; Torie Hatchell is a student at Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania. She is also volun- teering at the Maine State Museum this summer. As a Kents Hill School student, she worked closely with the archivist there; and Annie Desjardins attends Suffolk University in Boston where she volun- teers at an art museum during the school year. All are eager to help with the museum and archival work at RHS.

YOUNG “READFIELD RESEARCHERS”: The Readfield Elementary School (RES) third graders visited RHS on June 8th to experience what it was like to attend a rural one-room schoolhouse in the 1800s. On June 11th Dale visited their RES classroom to answer their questions and so the kids could tell her about what buildings each of them studied for their Readfield history project. Some researched their own old homes and others learned about the Readfield Community Library, Union Meeting House, Jesse Lee Church, Townsend Farm, Martha Washington Inn, Elmwood Hotel, Case Cemetery and Readfield Depot School (RHS). Dale reports that they all enthusiastically shared and, better yet, many of them have been “bitten by the history bug as a result”!

MARK YOUR CALENDARS FOR AUGUST 10th and 11th: Our 15th annual “Wine N Cheese” will take place on Friday, August 10th 5-7pm at RHS. The following day RHS will host a Readfield History Walk of Readfield Depot Village. Meet at RHS on Saturday, August 11th by 10am for the history walk.

OPEN DAYS: RHS is open every Thursday and Saturday 10am-2pm and by appointment through Labor Day. Visit RHS on Facebook where we regularly add historical posts, photos, who will be volunteer docents of the day and event updates.
