It was wonderful to see so many students and parents from Drinkwater this year—the costumes were so creative! Someone said to me, ‘You must love Halloween.’ Full disclosure: I’m actually not a Halloween person. For me, it’s all about taking this opportunity to make it fun for the kids and bringing our community—spanning generations—together to make it happen. A huge thank you to everyone involved. The list would be endless, but I do want to give a special shout-out to Jackie Facey—nothing stops this woman from making the Yacht Club such a magical place for the kids every Halloween! As the saying goes, ‘It takes a village.’ But truly, it takes a village like ours!” #ittakesavillage #halloween @nyc_bayside #community #communityservice #penobscotbay #baysidemaine

Next time you are at the Northport Yacht Club, check out the recently restored deck benches. The old and splintered strapping boards have been removed, no easy task, and bench seats and backs replaced with sturdy red cedar boards by David Leaming and Chris Lewton. The work took place during the steamy week of August 10. Dave reports, “Many stopped by to offer advice and commentary like Elaine Smith, Bill Haverty and Art Hall, and Clerk of the Works Gordon Fuller noted frequent breaks under the awning taken by yours truly. Many thanks and please enjoy. Anyway the real purpose of the photo is to advise folks to help maintain the handsome wood by not putting paints or solvents, used during work parties, or anything that could stain the wood. It’s not just a cheap way to toot my own horn for the incredibly hard work under horrid conditions that caused blood and sweat but no tears. As summer and boating season begin to wane at this wonderful place called Bayside, let us not forget that genuine heroes, humble and modest ones too, come in all sizes and for all sorts of reasons.” Thank you, Dave and Chris! Nice work, and a badly needed upgrade. @nyc_bayside #haveaseat #carpenter #carpentry #take a break #communityservice #nosplinters #newwood #penobscotbay #baysidemaine

That cottage belonged to my grandparents, Rex and Bernice (Bunny) Murch, and, when I was growing up, I spent many summers there with them and my father Fred Murch. This is a “gift certificate” I found while cleaning out my father’s basement. It was a gag gift drawn by his brother-in-law, the late Richard Brockway. If you look closely in the lower right of the certificate, you’ll see a raised seal with my Uncle Richard’s name in it (he was a mechanical engineer before he retired). I always remember my uncle having a wonderful sense of humor and a smile on his face. My father and I have many fond memories of him.” As do many other Baysiders… #tbt #giftcertificate #trestletable #joker #gaggift #baysidemaine

As Northport Village President Janae Novotny shared in her dedication of this year’s annual report to Rob and Joy (read it at https://www.baysidemaine.com/pdfs/overseers/2025-nvc-annual-report.pdf), “Rob purchased the 1880’s Broadway cottage he christened “Unity Too” over 50 years ago, and he has been a summer fixture in Bayside ever since…Rob and his wife, Joy, are retiring from Bayside at the end of this summer. This is their last porch-sitting summer where they always welcome new and old friends, so stop by to chat. They will be missed. Godspeed, Rob and Joy.” @snlsn #baysidetreasures #communityservice #cottagelife #retiring #pieforbreakfast #oldbayside @baysidehps #bhps #baysidemaine

2025-08-18 Food Drive Thank You, photographed by Steve Nelson at the Bayside, ME Community Hall on August 17, 2025 during the Annual Fill Our Hall Food Drive to benefit the Northport Food Pantry. Baysider Patti Wright shares the following update and thanks: “The Northport Food Pantry offers a huge heartfelt thank you to the wonderful friends and neighbors in and around Bayside. We had 10 fabulous volunteers to make easy work of sorting, packing, and delivering over 400 pounds of food to the Pantry. Deep appreciation goes to the entire community that keeps the Pantry afloat with food, money, and optimism in the face of challenging times. We want you to know that our Pantry operates year-round. The sunshine of summer sustains the grays of winter. Our Pantry visitors will be delighted with the wide variety of delicious, nutritious foods coming their way. Likewise, the generous monetary donations received yesterday (over $4,000 so far) will help us keep the Pantry stocked with the wide variety of foods we order and distribute each month. Donations of food and money will still be happily accepted. Contact Patti Wright (northportfpantry@gmail.com) to make arrangements for a pickup or drop-off. Pictured, from left-to-right, are: Jasper Carver, Everett Fryer, Niels Andren, Wylie Carver, Otis Mooney, Anneliese Mathieu, Lucy Magee, Eloise Mooney, and Oliver Bloom. Several of these great volunteers will be back at the Pantry today to get all the foods shelved and catalogued. A special thank you also goes to Leo Lundy, our very competent cargo driver. Good results don’t happen without the involvement of many parts of a community and Bayside always shines in its generosity.” @snsln #northportfoodpantry #fooddrive #fillourhall #fillthehall #communityservice #communityhall #baysidemaine

Lynn Clare Chittick (Lazy Days cottage) was ordained as a Minister in the Swedenborgian Tradition (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_Church_(Swedenborgian)). Lynn writes, “Helen Keller, Emerson, Thoreau, and many more were Swedenborgian. I share this picture as most of us grew up together in Bayside and somehow we all came together and it was a huge blessing to try on my Robe for the first time and my Stole. I am open to blessing boats for any that are interested, baptisms, and weddings. I worked as a Seafarer Minister in Oakland Port in CA. I was able to bless a large Tugboat. I am so grateful to be here, put the flowers on my porch in honor of Betty Chittick, my mom, where her wicker chair sits. Thanks to all for attending a moment of time in my life. So many amazing memories.” #ordained #swedenborgian #amondfriends #baysidemaine

2025-07-20 Stellar, photographed in Bayside, ME by Bo Christin. “I took this picture of the Andromeda Galaxy Friday night by the dock with a telescope. The photons of light in this picture have just completed a 2.5 million-year-long journey. Andromeda, our closest galaxy neighbor, is named after the princess in Greek mythology who was chained to a rock by her parents as a sacrifice to a sea monster before being rescued by Perseus. Were it not for the light pollution emitted by the blinding lights on the dock, we could witness Andromeda’s ascent every night of the summer as her hero, Perseus, rises from the depths of the Bay to save her once again. We make much ado about our sunsets in Bayside, but I find the nighttime spectacle to be just as inspiring. If you’re interested in learning more, here’s a link to a recent article and a couple of fun facts: It takes light approximately 100,000 light years to travel from one edge of the disk to the other. One light year is about 6 trillion miles. Andromeda is on a collision course with us. It’s moving toward the Milky Way at about 68 miles per second. In roughly 4 to 5 billion years, the two galaxies will likely collide and merge into a single, larger elliptical galaxy. Andromeda contains approximately one trillion stars, which is many more than our Milky Way, which has around 100 to 400 billion stars. You can also see at least two other galaxies in this picture. Andromeda is the most distant object visible to the naked eye.” #stellar #space #universe #telescope #nightphotography #andromeda #andromedagalaxy #deepfield #baysidemaine

Andromeda contains approximately one trillion stars, which is many more than our Milky Way, which has around 100 to 400 billion stars. You can also see at least two other galaxies in this picture. Andromeda is the most distant object visible to the naked eye.” #stellar #space #universe #telescope #nightphotography #andromeda #andromedagalaxy #deepfield #baysidemaine

2025-06-12 Diving Competition, submitted by Rich Tibbetts and photographed at the Bayside, ME wharf in an undated photo, possibly from the late 1940s. “My dad (Jason Tibbetts) always talked about the diving competition they had in Bayside. I’m not sure who the young lady is.” For many years, Bayside did have a water carnival at the wharf…greased pole, diving (when we still had the diving board), underwater swim, greased watermelon, etc. In this photo, it looks like the diving board (plank?) was on the south side of the wharf, not the north side where it ultimately ended up before eventually being removed for safety reasons. Note the crow’s nest on top of the wharf shelter. #tbt #divingcompetition #diving #watercarnival #oldbayside #thewharf #penobscotbay @baysidehps #bhps #baysidemaine

Lynn is the one removing it after 67 years. It will certainly change the landscape not having it there.” #endofanera #deadshed #stormdamage #templeheights #penobscotbay #baysidemaine

This may be the remains of the large tuna that washed up on the beach last October and was the subject of two Bayside Pictures-of-the-Day. If that’s the case, it’s remarkable that it survived so intact over the winter. #beachskeleton #forensics #beachcombing #bonesonthebeach #deadfish #tuna #thewharf #penobscotbay #baysidemaine

2025-04-10 Old Times on the Campground, submitted by Beverly Crofoot on behalf of the Bayside (ME) Historical Preservation Society (www.baysidehps.org). The following is an excerpt from George Henry Reed’s 1947 “Thumbnail History of Bayside”: “It was not long before a crowd was arriving in Bayside which could not be relied upon to attend the regular religious services and therefore missed the collection plate. To meet this emergency, the Association built a fence around the grounds and charged 10 cents admission. This worked all right for a time but it was later discovered that most of the visitors were arriving by boat and there was not fence around the wharf. Thereupon the Association promptly built one and trouble started. There were those who objected to a ten-cent charge to gain access to their own cottages and this was finally settled by Capt. Arey, skipper of one of the excursion boats, who took an axe and converted the fence across the wharf to kindling wood at the same time filling the air with lots of words not at all in keeping with the religious surroundings. Capt. Arey wanted to land his passengers ashore and safe from the perils of the deep and he didn’t hold with fences nor 10 cent admission charges either.” #tbt #cottagelife #rugglespark #thewharf #penobscotbay #oldbayside @baysidehps #bhps #baysidemaine

2025-03-06 Pioneer Cottage, located on Merithew Square in Bayside, ME, submitted by Beverly Crofoot on behalf of the Bayside Historical Preservation Society (https://www.baysidehps.org). The following description, by Beverly, is published with the photo on the website of the Penobscot marine Museum (www.penobscotmarinemuseum.org): Built in 1869 by Isaac Cunningham, a farmer from Union, Pioneer Cottage was reported by The Republican Journal (1879) to be the first private dwelling erected at Northport Wesleyan Grove Campmeeting, which was founded in 1849. For the preceding years Cunningham and other families camped under tents on small platforms, 12’x18′, for two weeks during the campmeeting. Town Methodist congregations also camped in tents, later building large three-story Society cottages. Today these cottages, circling Auditorium Park and Merithew Square, still bear the town names. The campmeeting newspaper, The Sea Breeze, reports in 1887: “Old Pioneer cottage on Merithew Square has been so thoroughly Elizabethianized, the old residents will hardly recognize it. It is owned by J. A. Clement, of Searsport, and I. J. Johnson, of Bucksport.” Mr. Johnson was a Civil War Veteran, having served in the 19th Marine Regiment Co. E, 6th Battery, Heavy Artillery. In 1897 Rev. William J. Wilson and his wife celebrated their Golden Anniversary at Pioneer Cottage with 100 guests. The couple was presented seventy-five dollar old pieces. A century later the current owners Harold and Andrea Hede found pieces of the original canvas tent nailed to a board at the rear of the cottage and preserved them by covering them over with lap siding. #tbt #pioneercottage #historylesson #cottagelife #campmeeting #merithewsquare #oldbayside @baysidehps #bhps #baysidemaine

2025-02-06 Steamship Lewiston, painted by Bob Rich and submitted by Beverly Crofoot on behalf of the Bayside Historical Preservation Society (https://baysidehps.org/). Two identical paintings were donated to the BHPS by Bob and Jean Tanner Rich; one hung on the Community Hall as in this photo, and the second kept in storage. Last summer, Dave Hurley of Belfast (and sturgeon-mural fame) put three coats of a clear varnish on the second panel. It subsequently replaced the other version which had suffered loss over the years, and now resides in storage at the Community Hall. The following is the text of a letter from the Riches dated July 9, 1998: “It is our intent to donate both of our ‘Northport Landing’ business signs, in their entirety, to the Historical Society. I painted these signs in 1986 and outside of a little touch-up on one occasion, they have withstood the elements reasonably well. Perhaps their aging benefits them for the purpose that they will serve in the future. The reference that I used for the steamship S. S. Lewiston came from Allie Ryan’s book the ‘Penobscot Steamship Album.’” Thank you, Riches! #tbt #steamship #steamshiplanding #sslewiston #steamshiplewiston #rugglespark #thewharf #penobscotbay #cottagelife #oldbayside @baysidehps #bhps #baysidemaine

Go, Eagles! #crabraces #summerfun #livestock #fishy #crabs #crustaceans #goeagles #thewharf #penobscotbay #baysidemaine
