Growing up less than 50 miles from New York City, it is difficult to imagine such beautiful woods and streams; Warren not only found them, he enjoyed them. He built his life around his family, protecting and preserving the environment in which they lived. Warren made an impact in each project he was involved with. Warren graduated from Colby College in 1964, which may have been the first signal of his future return to Central Maine. Before he could retire to Maine, he had many trails to blaze—literally and figuratively. His work in New York to create what is now known as the Teatown Lake Reservation was tremendous. In a history of Teatown, it was noted that “Balgooyen became a truly beloved Teatowner, leaving an unmistakable imprint on the reservation.” He enjoyed making the outdoors fun for others. In 1970, Warren and Helen began renting a farm in Maine; in 1982 they purchased the farm and moved the family to Maine permanantly. It was this move that was so significant for us and where he made his “unmistakable imprint” on Norridgewock. Warren spread his love of environmentalism, conservation, and community in our town and the surrounding communities. Wishing Well Farm, situated in Norridgewock, was 272 acres of woodlands and pasture that enabled Warren to enjoy what he loved most while sharing it with those around. He offered countless talks on bettering the environment, as well as information sessions on a variety of topics. He authored numerous freelance submissions to publications, all in the pursuit of encouraging good stewardship of the environment. Warren’s love for the environment involved him in many organizations in and around Norridgewock. He served as a Director on many boards, including Belgrade Regional 2 Town of Norridgewock Annual Town Report Conservation Alliance (now 7 Lakes Alliance), Land for Maine’s Future, Maine Audubon Society, Norcross Wildlife Foundation, Torrey Botanical Society. He maintained membership in Somerset Grange for over 40 years, as well as Nature Conservancy. With conviction, he was an ardent supporter of Somerset Woods, Maine Farmland Trust, and the American Chestnut (L-R) Warren, Stephen Balgooyen, Bjorn Langeon Foundation. Warren was also involved with the final (and successful) push to preserve the Kennebec Highlands. A parcel of land was given to the Town of Norridgewock in 1988 from Theodore Wing. On the land that became known as the Ashley J. Wing Family Memorial Park, there were large white pines that were aged over a century. These pines are some of the largest in Maine; Warren knew they needed to be protected. He became instrumental in the creation of this green space that helped to preserve these historic trees. In recent years, as spring waters rose and caused significant damage to walkways, Warren continued to be a reliable consult for Town officials working to preserve the canopy. Warren’s impact on the community was tremendous, yet moreso, he made a greater impact on his family. Together with his wife, Helen, of fifty years, they raised two children Christine and Stephen. His love of family was deep, especially enjoying his grandchildren Linden, Sara Frances, Willa, and Luther. A friend and colleague in conservation wrote recently of Warren, “I listened hard and tried to learn from everything he said over the years—he always modestly Warren (R) taking a break on the ice while fishing with friend and fellow conservationist Peter Kallin (L) offered suggestions which were generative, precise, apt, and modeled interconnection. It’s conventional, and painfully true, to say what a huge loss we have suffered when death takes a friend.” For his dedication to the Town of Norridgewock, this 2018 Annual Report is dedicated in the honor and memory of Mr. Warren Balgooyen. 3 Town of Norridgewock Annual Town Report NORRIDGEWOCK OFFICIALS, OFFICEHOLDERS, AND COMMITTEES MEMBERS FOR 2018 SELECTMEN AND OVERSEERS OF THE POOR Ronald Frederick, Chairman, James Lyman, Vice-Chairman, Joshua Chartrand, Matthew Everett, Sara “Sallie” Wilder BOARD OF TAX ASSESSORS Ronald Frederick, Chairman, Sara Wilder, Vice Chairman, James Lyman, Secretary TOWN MANAGER TAX COLLECTOR, TOWN CLERK, FINANCE DIRECTOR, ROAD COMMISSIONER, WELFARE DIRECTOR, EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT DIRECTOR, AIRPORT ADMINISTRATOR, SEWER ADMINISTRATOR, CEMETERY SUPERINTENDENT, 911 ADDRESSING OFFICER Richard A.

  • MOG Biography
    Dictionary of Canadian Biography MOG (Heracouansit, Warracansit, Warracunsit, Warrawcuset), a noted warrior, subchief, and orator of the Norridgewock (Caniba) division of the Abenakis, son of Mog, an Abenaki chief killed in 1677; b. c. 1663; killed 12 Aug. 1724 (O.S.) at Norridgewock (Narantsouak; now Old Point in south Madison, Me). In the La Chasse* census of 1708, Mog is listed under the name Heracouansit (in Abenaki, welákwansit, “one with small handsome heels”). During King William’s and Queen Anne’s Wars Mog took part in the numerous raids on English settlements by Abenakis and carried captives and scalps to Quebec. Following the peace of Utrecht in April 1713, Mog, Bomoseen, Moxus, Taxous, and other chiefs concluded a peace with New England at Portsmouth, N.H., on 11– 13 July. The Abenakis pledged allegiance to Anne, though “it is safe to say that they did not know what the words meant” (Parkman). They also admitted the right of the English to land occupied before the war. The English, on their side, promised that the Indians could settle any individual grievances with them in English courts. Mog and the others then sailed with six New England commissioners to Casco Bay, where the treaty and terms of submission were read to 30 chiefs, in the presence of 400 other Abenakis, on 18 July. “Young Mogg” was described as “a man about 50 years, a likely Magestick lookt Man who spake all was Said.” The Abenakis expressed surprise when told that the French had surrendered all the Abenaki lands to the English: “wee wonder how they would give it away without asking us, God having at first placed us there and They having nothing to do to give it away.” Father Sébastien RALE, the Jesuit missionary at Norridgewock, reported a month later that he had convinced the Indians the English were deceiving them with an ambiguous phrase, for England and France still disagreed about the limits of “Acadia.” Apparently the Indians remained disturbed, however, when the English offered to show them the official text of the European treaty in the presence of their missionaries.

  • Re-Membering Norridgewock Stories and Politics of a Place Multiple
    RE-MEMBERING NORRIDGEWOCK STORIES AND POLITICS OF A PLACE MULTIPLE A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Ashley Elizabeth Smith December 2017 © 2017 Ashley Elizabeth Smith RE-MEMBERING NORRIDGEWOCK STORIES AND POLITICS OF A PLACE MULTIPLE Ashley Elizabeth Smith, Ph. D. Cornell University 2017 This dissertation is an ethnography of place-making at Norridgewock, the site of a famous Wabanaki village in western Maine that was destroyed by a British militia in 1724. I examine how this site is variously enacted as a place of Wabanaki survivance and erasure and ask, how is it that a particular place with a particular history can be mobilized in different and even contradictory ways? I apply Annemarie Mol’s (2002) analytic concept of the body multiple to place to examine how utilize practices of storytelling, remembering, gathering, producing knowledge, and negotiating relationships to variously enact Norridgewock as a place multiple. I consider the multiple, overlapping, coexistent, and contradictory enactments of place and engagements with knowledge that shape place-worlds in settler colonial nation-states. Rather than taking these different enactments of place to be different perspectives on or versions of place, I examine how these enactments are embedded in and shaped by hierarchies of power and politics that produce enactments of place that are at times parallel and at times contradictory. Place-making is especially political in the context of settler colonialism, where indigenous places, histories, and peoples are erased in order to be replaced (Wolfe 2006; O’Brien 2010).

  • 2012 Annual Report for the Fiscal Year 2010-2011 (Old Trail Along the Kennebec Known As ‘The Pines’) “In Every Walk with Nature One Receives Far More Than He Seeks
    TOWN OF MADISON 2012 ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2010-2011 (OLD TRAIL ALONG THE KENNEBEC KNOWN AS ‘THE PINES’) “IN EVERY WALK WITH NATURE ONE RECEIVES FAR MORE THAN HE SEEKS. - JOHN MUIR” ABOUT THE COVER... This year’s cover story focuses on ‘Preserving Madison’s History’. We will discuss what we’ve done to preserve The Pines, Weston Homestead, and our two Historical Societies. THE PINES A recreational trail grant application was made to the Maine Department of Conservation on November 3, 2009 for trail improvements at the Old Point Mission Site now known as “The Pines”. The grant, in the amount of $25,600, was approved in May 2010. The history of The Pines, then known as ‘Norridgewock’ is both fascinating and tragic. Extensively documented and widely known, the Abenaki Village and associated Jesuit Mission at Old Point played a significant role in the Indian and French struggle to maintain control in the region during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. The Old Point Mission was originally established in the mid-1690’s when Jesuit missionary Sebastian Rasle travelled from Quebec to Norridgewock. Father Rasle lived at Norridgewock for nearly 30 years during a tumultuous time of warfare and frontier conflict. Raids against British colonizers encroaching on Indian lands finally led to the outbreak of a new conflict from 1722 until 1727, known as Dummer’s War. Norridgewock was destroyed when a force of more than 150 New England troops killed Rasle and as many as 60 townsfolk on August 23, 1724. Interest in the Norridgewock Mission extends back to the early 1800s when Father Benedict Fenwick of Boston instigated purchase of a portion of Old Point in 1833 and sponsored construction of a monument honoring Rasle at the locale.
