As we close out August, I want to recognize one of Bayside’s Treasure’s, Tim Samway. Tim served as moderator of our annual meetings for 21 years (!), a responsibility he took seriously and executed exceptionally, with last year being his final meeting in that role. While, unfortunately, no remarks to this effect were made earlier this month at the 2020 annual meeting, in 2018, on the occasion was Tim’s 20th year as moderator of the annual meeting, President John Spritz presented Tim with this model of the Bayside Library, crafted by (Overseer, at the time) Dick Brockway. Thank you, Tim, for your service as moderator and for all the other things you do for the Bayside community! #mrbayside #baysidetreasure #communityservice #moderator #annualmeeting #communityhall #baysidemaine

Written by Sandy Hall and illustrated by her daughter, Gretchen Irby, this children’s book is set in Bayside. As in this example, every page will look familiar to their Bayside audience, as two young visitors explore the community and dive into summer fun. I have purchased (several copies of) the book, and it’s terrific! There should be at least one copy in every Bayside cottage. You can now bring a little piece of Bayside magic home in this tough time when we all need a smile. The book sells for $14.95, plus tax and shipping, and is available at www.baysidebook.com. Copies will also be available this summer at various activities which may take place (fingers crossed), or at the Hall’s Union Cottage in Auditorium Park.

Yesterday, she made a snow person to leave behind for her mother and others! She has also drawn animals and Easter and spring-type images on the window. Her brother also arrives most days, driving a huge truck, and jumps out and chats with his mother and others. He toots his horn as he drives around the building. It’s really heartwarming to see!”

2020-12-08 No Room for the Waterslide, photographed by Jeffrey Mabee. The granite blocks that have taken up residence on Ruggles Park leave little room for the waterslide, but the project should be finished up well before next Fourth of July. I hope the contractor does a good job of cleaning up the gravel and planting new grass. #granite #rugglespark #parkrow #baysidemaine

I hope someone has a good pressure washer! Yuck.” #noswimming #guano #poopdeck #parkrow #rugglespark #thewharf #penobscotbay #baysidemaine

2020-01-30 Winter by Linn
2020-01-30 Winter, photographed this morning at the summit of Sugarloaf by Jon Linn, looking west. “About 20 miles away, you can see Saddleback Mountain (hopefully, possibly, re-opening next ski season). Then, toward the center, about 120 miles away, Mt. Washington. Rare clarity for that sight. And then, faintly, further to the left, about 70 miles away, you can see Sunday River, the distinct double parallel trails of Jordan Bowl. Something for everyone!”
