Welcome to be on The Broadsheet,a podcast by the Lincoln County
News. We are a community newspaper
based in Mid Coast Maine and we provide the most comprehensive,
in depth coverage available anywhere.
The 18 towns and 1 plantation that make up Lincoln County.
My name is Allie Jewell and I'm a reporter here at LCN covering
the towns of Whitefield, Edgecombe, Damerskotta and
(00:30):
Newcastle. And my name is Christina
Wallace, and I'm also a reporterhere at LCN, covering the towns
of Bristol, South Bristol, Nobleborough and Bremen.
Last week I talked to Belle Maroney, the stewardship and
volunteer coordinator at CoastalRivers Conservation Trust.
In this week's second segment, we discussed the history of the
beloved fall traditions Apple Fest and Pumpkin Fest.
(00:54):
There's also a riveting poll regarding people's opinions of
the two flavours around the office, so stay tuned.
Very scientific poll that just took place.
But first, here are some of the top stories from the Thursday,
October 2nd edition of the paper.
Wiscasset Area Chamber of Commerce Executive manager
(01:17):
Retires by Charlotte Point Aftera decade at the Wiscasset Area
Chamber of Commerce, Pat Cloutier is moving on to a new
chapter. She stepped down from her role
as executive manager on Wednesday, October 1st.
Cloutier span plans to address some medical issues, travel,
visit family and pick up volunteering in her retirement.
(01:38):
Lincoln County Regional PlanningCommission Executive Director
Emily Rabb said Cloutier has been a champion for the chamber
and the Planning Commission. Cloucher said she became
involved with the chamber at itsinception.
Her husband, Russ Cloucher's contributions, like delivering
the chamber's guidebooks and creating new businesses in town,
will also be missed. Quote Pat is the absolute best.
(02:02):
She's also a trailblazer, havingworked in traditionally male
dominated fields throughout her earlier career, including
publishing and emergency services, Rapp said.
That's so silly. It is.
In the news from Bristol, a humpback whale washes up on the
shores of New Harbor, creating a50 year connection.
Catherine Thompson, owner of Thompson House and Cottages,
(02:25):
checked her business e-mail on Friday, September 26th to find
one of her guests had noticed a washed up whale on A at a nearby
shore. Thompson found the whale washed
up in nearly the exact same spotthat her grandfather, Daniel
Thompson, found a whale almost 50 years ago.
It was actually 6 days shy of the 50th anniversary that her
(02:45):
grandfather found a whale washedup.
It's insane. It is insane.
Scientists from the Marine Mammals of Maine showed up at
the scene to measure the whale and take samples for laboratory
analysis. They identified the whale as a
30 foot humpback whale but couldnot determine the cause of
death, Catherine Thompson said. So it was hauled offshore by a
(03:07):
local fisherman Sunday morning and yeah, the rest is history.
She did say it's a once in a lifetime opportunity to have a
whale wash up on your front doorstep.
And I I. Bet yeah, I completely agree
with that. It's, I mean, it's good that you
know, she was the person there because I feel like the vast
majority of people would have noidea what to do in.
(03:29):
That situation exactly and she actually said that she had
experience with like marine conservation and things like
that. So she did know the the proper
authorities to call. So.
So yeah, very good. In some education news, Bristol
South Bristol school committees to discuss education service
center proposal This month, members of the Bristol and South
(03:53):
Bristol school committees will discuss the school restructuring
committee's progress. Formed in August, the committee
has been exploring the formationof a new, more independent
administrative structure. The committee which is made of
of school employees, committee members and community members
from Bristol and South Bristol. As a result of AOS 93's
(04:14):
restructuring following Bremen, Damariscotta and Newcastle's
departure into RSU 48, the Boardneeded to needed to develop a
new office budget and cost sharing formula for the 2025 to
2026 fiscal year. The Education Service Center,
which would include only Bristoland South Bristol, would allow
for the two towns to share resources and administrative
(04:36):
services. The Bristol School Committee
voted on the second part of the ESC forming application on
Thursday, October 2nd and the South Bristol School Committee
will vote on Tuesday, October 7th.
Yeah, definitely something to keep your eye on.
Indeed, so much restructuring happening around these parts.
(04:59):
In some more somber news, a white field man dies in a
motorcycle crash. A 21 year old white field man
died in a motorcycle crash on Vig Road in Wiscasset on Sunday,
September 28th. Christian Elsnape was operating
a 2007 Kawasaki Ninja 250 northbound on Vig Road when the
(05:19):
motorcycle went off the road andstruck several trees, according
to a press release from the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office.
Snape, who was wearing a helmet,was pronounced dead at the
scene. Lincoln County Sheriff's Office
Lieutenant Brandon Kane said speed and driver inexperience
seems to be contributing seem tobe the contributing factors to
(05:40):
the crash. The crash remains under
investigation. Very unfortunately, yes.
Definitely not good news. Yeah, not what we love to report
on. And some other news new Dresden
Fire Chief hopes to build camaraderie, community.
Darren Delano has stepped up as Dresden's Fire Chief after
(06:02):
almost 40 years fighting fires. The Dresden Select Board voted
to appoint Delano as chief at their September 23rd meeting.
Our board member Jeffrey Bickford said there isn't
anybody who, quote, knows our town and that cares about the
fire department, quote, as much as Delano.
He started as a junior firefighter and was cast at 39
(06:25):
years ago. Unlike many volunteer
firefighters, he was the first in his family to join a
department. Delano moved to Dresden in 2011
and started in the town's fire department then.
As he settles into his new position, Delano said he wants
his fire crew to feel like they have a voice, but like
camaraderie is key in a line of work like firefighting, he said.
(06:46):
Quote, I'm very honored that I was chosen for this.
I don't take it lightly. I know it's a massive
responsibility, but I'm going togive it everything I've got.
That's awesome. Yeah, yeah.
And a follow up to a story that we reported on last week and
Augusta man has arrested in connection to a new a Newcastle
traffic stop. Authorities from the Office of
(07:09):
State Fire Marshall arrested an Augusta man on Wednesday,
September 24th in connection to a potentially explosive device
recovered during a traffic stop in Newcastle.
Nicholas Presby, 43, was arrested without incident at at
approximately 11:40 AM on September 24th.
He faces one count of Class C criminal use of explosives.
(07:33):
Yeah, I know that a lot of people around town have been
very curious what the story was there.
Yeah, absolutely. It's good to hear that there's
some resolution. Absolutely.
Yes, in Whitefield a Whitefield resident brings 2 passions
together under 2 businesses. Andrew Fetterman is a Jack of
(07:53):
all trades when it comes to heavy equipment and earthwork.
After graduating with a forest degree from the University of
Maine, Fetterman worked at several jobs in the forestry and
heavy machinery field. He joined The Maine Conservation
Corps to create trails, worked as a forester and worked on
trucks as a mechanic. He decided to bring together his
(08:13):
experience and passion into Sheep Scott River Repair and
Sheep Scott River Land Service three years ago.
Through the businesses, Federmanand his employee complete a
range of services including landclearing, forced mulching, as
well as inspections and repairs on commercial vehicles.
Quote the satisfaction of takingsomething apart and being able
to put it back together is fun. Something about heavy machinery
(08:36):
has always been second nature, Federman said.
It was honestly really cool to see, like, I don't know, it was.
It was just very clear that he does have like a strong passion
for like both of these things and the fact that he has been
able to like bridge them together in these services, it
(08:57):
was really cool. And he he seems very committed
to just like helping people how he can and being realistic, like
with all of these kinds of projects.
Yeah, absolutely. It's so cool seeing how people
can bridge multiple passions together.
Nobleboro will consider fish ladder proposals and adding a
(09:19):
road to their maintenance project.
The Noble Borough Select Board discussed potential fish ladder
proposals and the 2020 Sixth Hazard Mitigation project at
their Wednesday, September 24th meeting.
Select Board member Richard Powell met with the Noble
Borough Fish Ladder committee and Newcastle representatives to
discuss the fish ladder. Powell said Newcastle Town
(09:40):
Manager Kevin Sutherland took we'll look into two engineering
proposals to weigh specific costs and logistics.
In other news, the board discussed adding Vanna Rd. to
its hazard mitigation project. Board Chair John Chadwick said a
full replacement of the culvertsby the boat launch on Vanna Road
is necessary. The culvert replacement on Vanna
(10:01):
Road will join an interlocal agreement to replace culverts on
Duck Puddle Rd. The interlocal agreement is
between the towns of Walderboro and Nobleboro for Duck Puddle
Rd. So that is currently the only
thing on the list. So Vanna Rd. will be joining
them. Very nice.
An underage drinking party was shut down and adults were
(10:22):
charged in Damariscotta. The Damariscotta Police
Department issued summons to twoadults after breaking up an
underage drinking party on Saturday, September 27th.
According to Interim Police Chief Phil Tessier, Officer
William Smith discovered 12 minors were in attendance at a
party where underage drinking was happening.
(10:43):
Elizabeth Landon Gray, 48, and Brett McHale, 51, of
Damariscotta were both charged with Class D furnishing a place
for minors to consume alcohol. Tester said the department is
still investigating to determinewhether or not any juvenile
charges will be filed. Quote, we're hoping to make
everybody aware of the dangers of juveniles and alcohol.
(11:05):
With schools back in session, wewanted to just make people aware
that it's a recipe for disaster.Definitely a good wake up call
for people, hundreds of percent.Definitely always want to be
safe. Botanical art at the Botanical
Gardens and this is by our SarahMasters who reports on arts and
(11:27):
needs. The Coastal Maine Botanical
Gardens Cafe is hosting a Women in the Gardens multimedia art
show through Sunday, October 19th.
The showcase includes Kylie Archibald and Lou Moulton, 2
recent graduates from the Gardens Botanical Arts
Certificate program, which includes 120 hours of coursework
and a mentorship opportunity. Archibald's work draws
(11:49):
inspiration from growing up on ablueberry Baron.
She drew scientific illustrations depicting A5
blueberry species. Other artists on display include
Lincoln County painters Erica Qualey, Susan Bartlett, Susan
Bartlett Rice and Caroline Claire Davis.
Very nice, yeah. Seems like a cool show and a
(12:09):
good way to close out the Botanical Gardens season because
they fully close on October 19th.
That's so sad. I love the botanical gardens.
Yeah. Got to go see woman in the
garden to peace out for the for the year.
Absolutely. This week's character of the
(12:29):
county was Eileen Higgins and the piece entitled Eileen
Higgins Lives a Life of Love by Sherman Olen Booth Bay resident
Eileen Higgins is living proof that when you do something you
love, you'll never have to work a day in your life.
Higgins has become an indispensable part of Southport
Central School over the last 25 years, where she worked as a
(12:50):
long term substitute and then secretary starting on October
1st. She now serves as the school's
administrative assistant, keyboarding teacher and
technology coordinator. Quote.
I do whatever needs to be done. I've subbed in every class, I've
taught art, I've taught art for like 6 months.
I do nursing, I do everything, cooking, whatever.
End Quote. Higgins works with her youngest
(13:13):
daughter, Southport Grade 4 to 6teacher Julie Brown, and Phelan,
one of her 12 grandchildren, is enrolled in kindergarten at the
school. To learn a bit more about
Higgins, pick up a copy of the paper or visit lcnme.com.
That's a very sweet story. Yeah, very sweet to see someone
(13:34):
who is so passionate about what they do.
Absolutely. All right, that's all we had for
news this week and so now we will jump into our Pumpkin Fest
Apple Fest history lesson. We have had a discussion in The
(14:07):
Newsroom about what our favoritefall flavor is.
So Ali, what is your favorite fall flavor?
I you know, I was really pondering this hard today.
I to be honest, I am not the biggest fall dessert person to
preface, so I am not incredibly strongly opinionated in this,
(14:31):
but I prefer pumpkin. Like I enjoy like pumpkin bread,
pumpkin cookies. I don't really mess with pie, so
like that's off the table, but Iwould say in general I'm going
for a pumpkin latte above anything else that's.
Fair. I feel like that is a very
popular choice. I on the other hand, as much as
(14:54):
I love Pumpkin, I have to go Team Apple.
I feel like Team Apple is kind of an underdog.
It's not widely talked about, you know.
Right. It it's kind of the understated
fall flavour. It's there, but it's not like
the immediate association. Absolutely.
(15:17):
So we got curious today and we went around the office and we
took a poll to see what the superior fall flavor is, pumpkin
or apple. And the results may shock you.
So apple actually won. So we had seven votes for Apple
and three votes for Pumpkin. That's that's a 40% difference.
(15:41):
That's pretty intense, yeah. We did have some very strong
opinions too. I won't name names but there
were some people very anti pumpkin or very anti apple.
So I. I can I can understand why some
people are really like not writing for Pumpkin, especially,
you know, like the past ten years or so.
(16:03):
It can can feel as if pumpkin has been thrown thrown around
far too long and maybe it's timefor a new raining fall flavor.
I, I get it. So I, I don't fault the apple
lovers. I just am not part of the team.
Absolutely, yeah, I get that. I was shocked to find that Apple
(16:24):
actually won because I thought for sure it was going to be
Pumpkin so. Me as well, not pretty stuff.
This poll only had to do with flavors, but now we're going to
talk about the little battle of fall festivities we have going
on in Lincoln County. Apple Fest and Pumpkin Fest,
Yes. So I think it's appropriate that
(16:44):
I'm the one covering Apple Fest and you're the one covering
Pumpkin Fest. It's worked out well.
Totally not planned. It just.
Kind of happened, yes, but we thought it would be nice to talk
a little bit about the history of each event and how it came to
be and all of that. So because Apple 1, Apple Fest
will be going first. So Apple Fest is an annual
(17:08):
tradition in Nobleboro that is run by the Nobleboro Historical
Society. The first Apple Fest took place
in 1978 and it was to help raisefunds for the historical
society's financial needs. So this has been going on for a
while. Yeah, I didn't realize it was
such a storied history. Absolutely.
So the event the original event was hosted by Johnny Appleseed
(17:31):
and an Apple Queen was crowned. Oh yeah, an apple Queen.
Like with an apple scepter and such.
I couldn't find pictures of it but I hope so like I would love.
To I can just. Picture like the Apple scepter
and like Apple crown and all of that.
So yeah, but fest festival goersclearly love this fundraiser as
(17:54):
it quickly became a yearly tradition that is now hosted at
the beginning of every October. So by the time you're listening
to this, Apple Fest will have already happened.
But I will be covering it this weekend and we'll talk more
about it in our segment next week.
So this festival celebrates the beauty of autumn with over 100
(18:15):
homemade apple pies, which can be purchased whole or by the
slice, and other baked goods such as homemade doughnuts.
Along with the crafts, live music and friendship lunch is
also provided at the event. Families are encouraged to come
as there are activities for kidswhich will provide a great
opportunity for quality family time, especially with school now
(18:37):
back in session. The 8th grade class at Nobleboro
Central School also plays a crucial role in Applefest,
running their food table with popcorn and baked goods to raise
money for their class project. NCS 8th grade 8th grade homeroom
teacher Luke Setmeyer works withhis students as they help the
(18:58):
Nobleboro Historical Society volunteers set up the gymnasium
at the school, which is where the event takes place.
The festivities will include a live bluegrass band.
Fresh apples from Beth's farm give Wevis activities for kids,
including face painting and games and tables from local
(19:20):
businesses and nonprofits. Is there any apple bobbin?
I don't know, but I hope that there is.
I I could understand why there wouldn't be because I imagine
Apple bobbing is a liability nightmare, but I mean, it's it's
Apple fest I. Feel like it's It's so classic
(19:41):
though. The Noble Borough Historical
Society website describes the event as one of those laid back
and family friendly gatherings that remind folks of the
timelessness of such gatherings.So very sweet.
Definitely sounds like. As someone who has never gone to
Apple Fest before, this sounds like a very family friendly
event. Yeah.
(20:03):
Just great for specialization, being able to spend time with
your family and eating some awesome apple pies and other
good stuff. So it's a.
Lot of apple pies. That is so many apple pies.
It's intense, but in a good way.Like I'm, I'm very intrigued.
All the different flavor combos going on there.
Oh, yeah, absolutely. So I will be reporting more on
(20:27):
this in our next or next week inour next podcast.
What are you? Most excited for?
That's a good question. I, I think I'm most excited for
seeing all of like the differentvariations of apple baked goods
that one could make totally because I know that there's more
(20:49):
than just pies they listed like Donuts and more.
So I'm very curious to see like what else happens because I
think you can get like very creative with pumpkin, not
pumpkin with apple, with apple flavors and like combinations of
apple and things like that. So I think that's what I'm most
(21:10):
excited for. That that makes sense.
No, I'm very curious for you to report back on all the what the
more is. So yeah.
Absolutely. We'll find out.
Well, yes, even though it pulledlower in the office, Pumpkin
Fest is definitely big, big doings around these parts.
(21:34):
And even though it is much younger than Apple Fest, it also
has a very fun history to it. So the first ever pumpkin Fest
was 18 years ago, but the seed, no pun intended, was planted a
few years earlier. So Bill Clark of The Maine
Pumpkin Growers Association, whois whose son actually works at
(21:59):
the Lincoln County Publishing Company.
That's true. That's true.
He approached Buzz Pinkham in 2004 about growing a giant
pumpkin at Pickham's Plantation to get more people interested in
the sport of giant pumpkin growing.
So from then on, they had an annual giant pumpkin seed
(22:20):
giveaway in May to further encourage the growing and the
pumpkin regatta actually preceded Pumpkin Fest.
It was Pinkham and Clark's idea.There is a picture in the
Lincoln County News's October 27th, 2005 edition that shows
(22:41):
Pinkham inside of a pumpkin boat.
And he is the only person on thewater.
Because it was really just him and Clark thinking, you know, we
have this £750 pumpkin. What what is a better thing to
do with it than to carve it out and turn it into a boat?
I feel like that's the most mid coast main thing you could
(23:04):
possibly do in the fall. I, I really love the idea that
they kind of just looked at the pumpkin and we're like, do you
want to like ride it? That's great.
That's so great. We love creativity.
Absolutely. In the photos caption, Pinkham
(23:24):
actually mentioned that he wanted to turn this into an
event, turn it into a regatta. And so the first ever regatta
was the following year when Pinkham, Clark and their friend
Tom Lishness all set sail in their gourds to a 300 person
crowd. Wow.
And it very quickly grew, with more people riding in pumpkin
(23:49):
boats and upwards of 1000 peoplewatching in 2007.
That's crazy, right? Yeah.
Kind of explosive. And so after the successful
second regatta, Pinkham, Lynn Connell, Elizabeth Davis, Betty
Fisk, Judy Linker and Foskett and Mary Kate Rennie all all met
(24:11):
to find ways for the community to expand the Great Pumpkin
festivities. Make it more of an opportunity
for local businesses to get in on the action.
Absolutely, yes. And so then the first ever
annual Pumpkin Fest was also in 2007, later in the year, and it
was originally called the Great Pumpkin Festival.
(24:31):
From its inception, the event has been centered on the regatta
and decorated pumpkins by local artists.
The first iteration included a pumpkin lighting where all of
the artist pumpkin sculptures were lit at dusk on Saturday.
That sounds so pretty, right? Yeah, I love the idea of
everyone just running around andlighting them up.
Absolutely. Like many classic events,
(24:54):
Pumpkin Fest was cancelled in 2020 because of the pandemic,
and it really hasn't returned toits full force until last year,
when they finally brought back the storied Pumpkin Drop, which
includes A gigantic pumpkin crushing a car or some
(25:15):
variation. OK, yes.
As one does. Yes.
Yes. It's a, it's a very beloved
event. I actually I looked at the photo
from last year's and you just see like this car crushed in by
a pumpkin and all these people like crowded around with their.
Phones and stuff, that's amazing.
(25:36):
It's pretty awesome. And I know that our very own
Maya Zibert's favorite event is the Pumpkin Drop, so.
How does it work? Like is the loser of the Biggest
pumpkin contest? Did they take their car and
that's the one that smashed? That's a.
Great question. I am not sure how the the car is
(25:57):
selected. That would be some pretty,
pretty high stakes. It would be.
You really got to grow the best pumpkin or or else you're you're
kind of stuck around here. Yeah, absolutely.
But yeah. So that's just one of the many
events. It's chalk filled with pumpkin
centric things, including again,the regatta, the pumpkin parade,
(26:21):
there's a pumpkin pie eating contest, there is the Derby for
kids to participate in. There's there's just a world of
pumpkin events. And there is a pumpkin queen
that I don't for a fact she has a pumpkin something.
So, yeah. And for the first time ever this
(26:43):
year, the festival's agenda includes a 5K, the Tour de
Gourd. Oh wow, yes, you got to burn off
all that pumpkin pie somehow. So yeah, they were really
thinking ahead. Here they were.
No, I like it. So yeah, this year runner
runners will have the opportunity to race through
downtown and follow a course through damn Rescada.
(27:06):
And yeah, just get to run among the pumpkins.
So that's very exciting. What are you looking forward to
the most about? Pumpkin Fest, I am really
looking forward to the regatta and I, I don't know, just the
concept of seeing people racing in pumpkins sounds really
(27:31):
awesome to me. And you know, obviously I don't
like want people's boats to not work, but I'm curious to see if
anyone's boat fails. Yeah, absolutely.
I, I like, you know, it's, it's a low stakes situation.
(27:53):
So I'm I'm just excited for any drama that ensues from the
regatta. Absolutely.
I would have to agree. I'm very interested in how that
goes. Yeah, I also find the fact of
like, having a pumpkin so big you can like, set sail in it
hilarious. So I'm very excited.
To see that happen, no. Yeah, it.
(28:14):
I'm sure it's going to be fantastic.
So very exciting. And this is also your first time
going to Pumpkin Fest, Or have you been before I?
Have not been before. Very nice, yes.
So this will be my first time going, which I'm very excited
about. I'm especially intrigued to see
a giant pumpkin dropped on a car, and I will be asking whose
(28:36):
card is for scientific purposes.I'm reporting on that, yeah, in
case anyone's curious. So.
We we will get back to the people with all the news they
need about Pumpkin. Fest, Absolutely.
Pumpkin Fest is not this weekend.
Apple Fest has the weekend to shine, and then next weekend is
the heat of Pumpkin Fest. The way off the Commonwealth way
(28:59):
off is Sunday, but that is the only event it's happening
technically before the podcast airs, but I will report back on
any records broken at the. Way off.
All right, that. Was good, yes.
Yeah. Much to look forward to.
(29:19):
Absolutely. Unfortunately, you cannot set
sail on an apple. Yeah, I I don't think the giant
Apple growing community is quiterobust.
Yeah, I was going to say, it would be so nice if you could
have like a race between an apple and a pumpkin, but I don't
think it would really work out that way.
Yeah, yeah, I wish. I wish there was a comparative.
(29:43):
Maybe we need like a acorn squash festival.
Maybe. Yeah, something.
Yeah. Well, we were talking about a
potential secret third Superior fall flavour.
So, you know, yeah, maybe it could be Acorn.
Squash, Yeah, yeah, you know, I,I would really love a coffee
that flavour. You know, I've been, I've been
(30:06):
thinking that like ever since fall hit.
I'm like, man, I could really use an acorn squash coffee.
Or just really scratch an itch that, you know, pumpkin and
apple simply cannot. Absolutely it's.
Just such a missed opportunity and to any local coffee shops
who are listening, you should get on.
That yes, 100%. Do it for us, please.
(30:30):
But yeah, I'm glad we could kickoff the month of October with
some history and, you know, someimportant dialogue on these
topics. Absolutely, definitely.
Both of these events have a lot of history, so I'm very excited
that we both get to cover them and report back with more
information next week. 100%, Yeah.

and the Planning Commission. Cloucher said she became
involved with the chamber at itsinception.
Her husband, Russ Cloucher's contributions, like delivering
the chamber's guidebooks and creating new businesses in town,
will also be missed. Quote Pat is the absolute best.
(02:02):
She's also a trailblazer, havingworked in traditionally male

publishing and emergency services, Rapp said.
That's so silly. It is.
In the news from Bristol, a humpback whale washes up on the
shores of New Harbor, creating a50 year connection.
Catherine Thompson, owner of Thompson House and Cottages,
(02:25):
checked her business e-mail on Friday, September 26th to find
one of her guests had noticed a washed up whale on A at a nearby
shore. Thompson found the whale washed
up in nearly the exact same spotthat her grandfather, Daniel
Thompson, found a whale almost 50 years ago.
It was actually 6 days shy of the 50th anniversary that her
(02:45):
grandfather found a whale washedup.
It's insane. It is insane.
Scientists from the Marine Mammals of Maine showed up at
the scene to measure the whale and take samples for laboratory
analysis. They identified the whale as a
30 foot humpback whale but couldnot determine the cause of
death, Catherine Thompson said. So it was hauled offshore by a
(03:07):
local fisherman Sunday morning and yeah, the rest is history.
She did say it's a once in a lifetime opportunity to have a
whale wash up on your front doorstep.
And I I. Bet yeah, I completely agree
with that. It's, I mean, it's good that you
know, she was the person there because I feel like the vast
majority of people would have noidea what to do in.
(03:29):
That situation exactly and she actually said that she had
experience with like marine conservation and things like
that. So she did know the the proper
authorities to call. So.
So yeah, very good. In some education news, Bristol
South Bristol school committees to discuss education service
center proposal This month, members of the Bristol and South

(04:36):
services. The Bristol School Committee
voted on the second part of the ESC forming application on
Thursday, October 2nd and the South Bristol School Committee
will vote on Tuesday, October 7th.
Yeah, definitely something to keep your eye on.
Indeed, so much restructuring happening around these parts.
(04:59):
In some more somber news, a white field man dies in a
motorcycle crash. A 21 year old white field man
died in a motorcycle crash on Vig Road in Wiscasset on Sunday,
September 28th. Christian Elsnape was operating

Darren Delano has stepped up as Dresden's Fire Chief after
(06:02):
almost 40 years fighting fires. The Dresden Select Board voted
to appoint Delano as chief at their September 23rd meeting.
Our board member Jeffrey Bickford said there isn't
anybody who, quote, knows our town and that cares about the
fire department, quote, as much as Delano.
He started as a junior firefighter and was cast at 39
(06:25):
years ago. Unlike many volunteer
firefighters, he was the first in his family to join a
department. Delano moved to Dresden in 2011
and started in the town's fire department then.
As he settles into his new position, Delano said he wants
his fire crew to feel like they have a voice, but like
camaraderie is key in a line of work like firefighting, he said.
(06:46):
Quote, I'm very honored that I was chosen for this.
I don't take it lightly. I know it's a massive
responsibility, but I'm going togive it everything I've got.
That's awesome. Yeah, yeah.

very curious what the story was there.
Yeah, absolutely. It's good to hear that there's
some resolution. Absolutely.
Yes, in Whitefield a Whitefield resident brings 2 passions
together under 2 businesses. Andrew Fetterman is a Jack of
(07:53):
all trades when it comes to heavy equipment and earthwork.
After graduating with a forest degree from the University of
Maine, Fetterman worked at several jobs in the forestry and
heavy machinery field. He joined The Maine Conservation
Corps to create trails, worked as a forester and worked on
trucks as a mechanic. He decided to bring together his
(08:13):
experience and passion into Sheep Scott River Repair and
Sheep Scott River Land Service three years ago.
Through the businesses, Federmanand his employee complete a
range of services including landclearing, forced mulching, as
well as inspections and repairs on commercial vehicles.
Quote the satisfaction of takingsomething apart and being able
to put it back together is fun. Something about heavy machinery
(08:36):
has always been second nature, Federman said.
It was honestly really cool to see, like, I don't know, it was.
It was just very clear that he does have like a strong passion
for like both of these things and the fact that he has been
able to like bridge them together in these services, it
(08:57):
was really cool. And he he seems very committed
to just like helping people how he can and being realistic, like
with all of these kinds of projects.
Yeah, absolutely. It's so cool seeing how people
can bridge multiple passions together.
Nobleboro will consider fish ladder proposals and adding a

(10:01):
Road will join an interlocal agreement to replace culverts on
Duck Puddle Rd. The interlocal agreement is
between the towns of Walderboro and Nobleboro for Duck Puddle

thing on the list. So Vanna Rd. will be joining
them. Very nice.
An underage drinking party was shut down and adults were

charged in Damariscotta. The Damariscotta Police
Department issued summons to twoadults after breaking up an

everybody aware of the dangers of juveniles and alcohol.
(11:05):
With schools back in session, wewanted to just make people aware
that it's a recipe for disaster.Definitely a good wake up call
for people, hundreds of percent.Definitely always want to be
safe. Botanical art at the Botanical
Gardens and this is by our SarahMasters who reports on arts and
(11:27):
needs. The Coastal Maine Botanical
Gardens Cafe is hosting a Women in the Gardens multimedia art

(11:49):
inspiration from growing up on ablueberry Baron.
She drew scientific illustrations depicting A5
blueberry species. Other artists on display include
Lincoln County painters Erica Qualey, Susan Bartlett, Susan
Bartlett Rice and Caroline Claire Davis.
Very nice, yeah. Seems like a cool show and a
(12:09):
good way to close out the Botanical Gardens season because
they fully close on October 19th.
That's so sad. I love the botanical gardens.
Yeah. Got to go see woman in the
garden to peace out for the for the year.
Absolutely. This week's character of the
(12:29):
county was Eileen Higgins and the piece entitled Eileen
Higgins Lives a Life of Love by Sherman Olen Booth Bay resident
Eileen Higgins is living proof that when you do something you
love, you'll never have to work a day in your life.
Higgins has become an indispensable part of Southport
Central School over the last 25 years, where she worked as a
(12:50):
long term substitute and then secretary starting on October
1st. She now serves as the school's
administrative assistant, keyboarding teacher and
technology coordinator. Quote.
I do whatever needs to be done. I've subbed in every class, I've
taught art, I've taught art for like 6 months.
I do nursing, I do everything, cooking, whatever.
End Quote. Higgins works with her youngest
(13:13):
daughter, Southport Grade 4 to 6teacher Julie Brown, and Phelan,
one of her 12 grandchildren, is enrolled in kindergarten at the
school. To learn a bit more about
Higgins, pick up a copy of the paper or visit lcnme.com.
That's a very sweet story. Yeah, very sweet to see someone
(13:34):
who is so passionate about what they do.
Absolutely. All right, that's all we had for
news this week and so now we will jump into our Pumpkin Fest
Apple Fest history lesson. We have had a discussion in The
(14:07):
Newsroom about what our favoritefall flavor is.
So Ali, what is your favorite fall flavor?
I you know, I was really pondering this hard today.
I to be honest, I am not the biggest fall dessert person to
preface, so I am not incredibly strongly opinionated in this,
(14:31):
but I prefer pumpkin. Like I enjoy like pumpkin bread,
pumpkin cookies. I don't really mess with pie, so
like that's off the table, but Iwould say in general I'm going
for a pumpkin latte above anything else that's.
Fair. I feel like that is a very
popular choice. I on the other hand, as much as
(14:54):
I love Pumpkin, I have to go Team Apple.
I feel like Team Apple is kind of an underdog.
It's not widely talked about, you know.
Right. It it's kind of the understated
fall flavour. It's there, but it's not like
the immediate association. Absolutely.
(15:17):
So we got curious today and we went around the office and we
took a poll to see what the superior fall flavor is, pumpkin
or apple. And the results may shock you.
So apple actually won. So we had seven votes for Apple
and three votes for Pumpkin. That's that's a 40% difference.
(15:41):
That's pretty intense, yeah. We did have some very strong
opinions too. I won't name names but there
were some people very anti pumpkin or very anti apple.
So I. I can I can understand why some
people are really like not writing for Pumpkin, especially,
you know, like the past ten years or so.
(16:03):
It can can feel as if pumpkin has been thrown thrown around
far too long and maybe it's timefor a new raining fall flavor.
I, I get it. So I, I don't fault the apple
lovers. I just am not part of the team.
Absolutely, yeah, I get that. I was shocked to find that Apple
(16:24):
actually won because I thought for sure it was going to be
Pumpkin so. Me as well, not pretty stuff.
This poll only had to do with flavors, but now we're going to
talk about the little battle of fall festivities we have going
on in Lincoln County. Apple Fest and Pumpkin Fest,
Yes. So I think it's appropriate that
(16:44):
I'm the one covering Apple Fest and you're the one covering
Pumpkin Fest. It's worked out well.
Totally not planned. It just.
Kind of happened, yes, but we thought it would be nice to talk
a little bit about the history of each event and how it came to
be and all of that. So because Apple 1, Apple Fest
will be going first. So Apple Fest is an annual
(17:08):
tradition in Nobleboro that is run by the Nobleboro Historical
Society. The first Apple Fest took place
in 1978 and it was to help raisefunds for the historical
society's financial needs. So this has been going on for a
while. Yeah, I didn't realize it was
such a storied history. Absolutely.
So the event the original event was hosted by Johnny Appleseed
(17:31):
and an Apple Queen was crowned. Oh yeah, an apple Queen.
Like with an apple scepter and such.
I couldn't find pictures of it but I hope so like I would love.
To I can just. Picture like the Apple scepter
and like Apple crown and all of that.
So yeah, but fest festival goersclearly love this fundraiser as
(17:54):
it quickly became a yearly tradition that is now hosted at
the beginning of every October. So by the time you're listening
to this, Apple Fest will have already happened.
But I will be covering it this weekend and we'll talk more
about it in our segment next week.
So this festival celebrates the beauty of autumn with over 100
(18:15):
homemade apple pies, which can be purchased whole or by the
slice, and other baked goods such as homemade doughnuts.
Along with the crafts, live music and friendship lunch is
also provided at the event. Families are encouraged to come
as there are activities for kidswhich will provide a great
opportunity for quality family time, especially with school now
(18:37):
back in session. The 8th grade class at Nobleboro
Central School also plays a crucial role in Applefest,
running their food table with popcorn and baked goods to raise
money for their class project. NCS 8th grade 8th grade homeroom
teacher Luke Setmeyer works withhis students as they help the
(18:58):
Nobleboro Historical Society volunteers set up the gymnasium
at the school, which is where the event takes place.
The festivities will include a live bluegrass band.
Fresh apples from Beth's farm give Wevis activities for kids,
including face painting and games and tables from local
(19:20):
businesses and nonprofits. Is there any apple bobbin?
I don't know, but I hope that there is.
I I could understand why there wouldn't be because I imagine
Apple bobbing is a liability nightmare, but I mean, it's it's
Apple fest I. Feel like it's It's so classic
(19:41):
though. The Noble Borough Historical
Society website describes the event as one of those laid back
and family friendly gatherings that remind folks of the
timelessness of such gatherings.So very sweet.
Definitely sounds like. As someone who has never gone to
Apple Fest before, this sounds like a very family friendly
event. Yeah.
(20:03):
Just great for specialization, being able to spend time with
your family and eating some awesome apple pies and other
good stuff. So it's a.
Lot of apple pies. That is so many apple pies.
It's intense, but in a good way.Like I'm, I'm very intrigued.
All the different flavor combos going on there.
Oh, yeah, absolutely. So I will be reporting more on
(20:27):
this in our next or next week inour next podcast.
What are you? Most excited for?
That's a good question. I, I think I'm most excited for
seeing all of like the differentvariations of apple baked goods
that one could make totally because I know that there's more
(20:49):
than just pies they listed like Donuts and more.
So I'm very curious to see like what else happens because I
think you can get like very creative with pumpkin, not
pumpkin with apple, with apple flavors and like combinations of
apple and things like that. So I think that's what I'm most
(21:10):
excited for. That that makes sense.
No, I'm very curious for you to report back on all the what the
more is. So yeah.
Absolutely. We'll find out.
Well, yes, even though it pulledlower in the office, Pumpkin
Fest is definitely big, big doings around these parts.
(21:34):
And even though it is much younger than Apple Fest, it also
has a very fun history to it. So the first ever pumpkin Fest
was 18 years ago, but the seed, no pun intended, was planted a
few years earlier. So Bill Clark of The Maine
Pumpkin Growers Association, whois whose son actually works at
(21:59):
the Lincoln County Publishing Company.
That's true. That's true.
He approached Buzz Pinkham in 2004 about growing a giant
pumpkin at Pickham's Plantation to get more people interested in
the sport of giant pumpkin growing.
So from then on, they had an annual giant pumpkin seed
(22:20):
giveaway in May to further encourage the growing and the
pumpkin regatta actually preceded Pumpkin Fest.
It was Pinkham and Clark's idea.There is a picture in the
Lincoln County News's October 27th, 2005 edition that shows
(22:41):
Pinkham inside of a pumpkin boat.
And he is the only person on thewater.
Because it was really just him and Clark thinking, you know, we
have this £750 pumpkin. What what is a better thing to
do with it than to carve it out and turn it into a boat?
I feel like that's the most mid coast main thing you could
(23:04):
possibly do in the fall. I, I really love the idea that
they kind of just looked at the pumpkin and we're like, do you
want to like ride it? That's great.
That's so great. We love creativity.
Absolutely. In the photos caption, Pinkham
(23:24):
actually mentioned that he wanted to turn this into an
event, turn it into a regatta. And so the first ever regatta
was the following year when Pinkham, Clark and their friend
Tom Lishness all set sail in their gourds to a 300 person
crowd. Wow.
And it very quickly grew, with more people riding in pumpkin
(23:49):
boats and upwards of 1000 peoplewatching in 2007.
That's crazy, right? Yeah.
Kind of explosive. And so after the successful
second regatta, Pinkham, Lynn Connell, Elizabeth Davis, Betty
Fisk, Judy Linker and Foskett and Mary Kate Rennie all all met
(24:11):
to find ways for the community to expand the Great Pumpkin
festivities. Make it more of an opportunity
for local businesses to get in on the action.
Absolutely, yes. And so then the first ever
annual Pumpkin Fest was also in 2007, later in the year, and it
was originally called the Great Pumpkin Festival.
(24:31):
From its inception, the event has been centered on the regatta
and decorated pumpkins by local artists.
The first iteration included a pumpkin lighting where all of
the artist pumpkin sculptures were lit at dusk on Saturday.
That sounds so pretty, right? Yeah, I love the idea of
everyone just running around andlighting them up.
Absolutely. Like many classic events,
(24:54):
Pumpkin Fest was cancelled in 2020 because of the pandemic,
and it really hasn't returned toits full force until last year,
when they finally brought back the storied Pumpkin Drop, which
includes A gigantic pumpkin crushing a car or some
(25:15):
variation. OK, yes.
As one does. Yes.
Yes. It's a, it's a very beloved
event. I actually I looked at the photo
from last year's and you just see like this car crushed in by
a pumpkin and all these people like crowded around with their.
Phones and stuff, that's amazing.
(25:36):
It's pretty awesome. And I know that our very own
Maya Zibert's favorite event is the Pumpkin Drop, so.
How does it work? Like is the loser of the Biggest
pumpkin contest? Did they take their car and
that's the one that smashed? That's a.
Great question. I am not sure how the the car is
(25:57):
selected. That would be some pretty,
pretty high stakes. It would be.
You really got to grow the best pumpkin or or else you're you're
kind of stuck around here. Yeah, absolutely.
But yeah. So that's just one of the many
events. It's chalk filled with pumpkin
centric things, including again,the regatta, the pumpkin parade,
(26:21):
there's a pumpkin pie eating contest, there is the Derby for
kids to participate in. There's there's just a world of
pumpkin events. And there is a pumpkin queen
that I don't for a fact she has a pumpkin something.
So, yeah. And for the first time ever this
(26:43):
year, the festival's agenda includes a 5K, the Tour de
Gourd. Oh wow, yes, you got to burn off
all that pumpkin pie somehow. So yeah, they were really
thinking ahead. Here they were.
No, I like it. So yeah, this year runner
runners will have the opportunity to race through
downtown and follow a course through damn Rescada.
(27:06):
And yeah, just get to run among the pumpkins.
So that's very exciting. What are you looking forward to
the most about? Pumpkin Fest, I am really
looking forward to the regatta and I, I don't know, just the
concept of seeing people racing in pumpkins sounds really
(27:31):
awesome to me. And you know, obviously I don't
like want people's boats to not work, but I'm curious to see if
anyone's boat fails. Yeah, absolutely.
I, I like, you know, it's, it's a low stakes situation.
(27:53):
So I'm I'm just excited for any drama that ensues from the
regatta. Absolutely.
I would have to agree. I'm very interested in how that
goes. Yeah, I also find the fact of
like, having a pumpkin so big you can like, set sail in it
hilarious. So I'm very excited.
To see that happen, no. Yeah, it.
(28:14):
I'm sure it's going to be fantastic.
So very exciting. And this is also your first time
going to Pumpkin Fest, Or have you been before I?
Have not been before. Very nice, yes.
So this will be my first time going, which I'm very excited
about. I'm especially intrigued to see
a giant pumpkin dropped on a car, and I will be asking whose
(28:36):
card is for scientific purposes.I'm reporting on that, yeah, in
case anyone's curious. So.
We we will get back to the people with all the news they
need about Pumpkin. Fest, Absolutely.
Pumpkin Fest is not this weekend.
Apple Fest has the weekend to shine, and then next weekend is
the heat of Pumpkin Fest. The way off the Commonwealth way
(28:59):
off is Sunday, but that is the only event it's happening
technically before the podcast airs, but I will report back on
any records broken at the. Way off.
All right, that. Was good, yes.
Yeah. Much to look forward to.
(29:19):
Absolutely. Unfortunately, you cannot set
sail on an apple. Yeah, I I don't think the giant
Apple growing community is quiterobust.
Yeah, I was going to say, it would be so nice if you could
have like a race between an apple and a pumpkin, but I don't
think it would really work out that way.
Yeah, yeah, I wish. I wish there was a comparative.
(29:43):
Maybe we need like a acorn squash festival.
Maybe. Yeah, something.
Yeah. Well, we were talking about a
potential secret third Superior fall flavour.
So, you know, yeah, maybe it could be Acorn.
Squash, Yeah, yeah, you know, I,I would really love a coffee
that flavour. You know, I've been, I've been
(30:06):
thinking that like ever since fall hit.
I'm like, man, I could really use an acorn squash coffee.
Or just really scratch an itch that, you know, pumpkin and
apple simply cannot. Absolutely it's.
Just such a missed opportunity and to any local coffee shops
who are listening, you should get on.
That yes, 100%. Do it for us, please.
(30:30):
But yeah, I'm glad we could kickoff the month of October with
some history and, you know, someimportant dialogue on these
topics. Absolutely, definitely.
Both of these events have a lot of history, so I'm very excited
that we both get to cover them and report back with more
information next week. 100%, Yeah.
