Date: August 30, 2001 Name: Alden Schmitz Location: Bellevue, Nebraska Email: aldenschmitz@msn.com Comment: From what I just read on here, Corinna is getting a new school...Where is it to be built? Will it be elementary?
Alden- SAD 48, the local school district, is building two new middle schools to house grades 5-8. The one Corinna students will attend in located near Nokomis Regional High school. It will be open by the 2002-2003 school year. -Ken

Do we have a photo of Eastland?/Nokomis?
When will the new school be done?
Will it be big enough or will they be adding trailers later?
Date: August 28, 2001 Name: Carl Smith Location: Hometown, USA Email: Comment: Winchester Park Monument. According to town records, there was substantial consideration to the Monument. At the March 1912 town meeting $500 was raised towards a Soldiers Monument. In Sept 1913, J. Howard Winchester deeded property to the town for the Park. A contract for the Monument was signed in Jan 1914, with the J Knowles Post, No. 52, G.A.R. contributing $500.
Work was to be completed by Jun 1914 and the Levi Stewart estate would pay $1000 per agreement with his sister Elizabeth Winchester to pay one half the cost. Levi died May 1910, so obviously some discussion predated that.
For those unfamiliar with the Monument it is a statue of a Civil War soldier mounted on a multi layered base. The front inscription reads "DEDICATED TO THE MEMORY OF THE DEFENDERS OF OUR FLAG 1861-1865".
Date: August 28, 2001 Name: Carl Smith Location: Hometown, USA Email: Comment: Winchesters. Benjamin Winchester was a prominent minister in the early settlement of Corinna, 1820s. His son John married Elizabeth Stewart, daughter of another prominent preacher, Elder David, and brother of philanthropist Levi. John and Elizabeth had John Howard, Alice and Mary. J. Howard was a prominent citizen, Stewart librarian (first I think), and lived in the recent Harold and Ida Davis residence. Howard gifted the Winchester Park, I believe in honor of his father John, a Civil War veteran. I don't know of any named Winchesters in the area.
Alice Winchester Thurston is ancestor of Alice Bird and Jane Quimby Briscoe.
Mary Winchester Hilliker is ancestor of Hillikers, my line of Smiths, and Hansons of St. Albans. It may be of further interest that D.D. Stewart, brother of Levi and Elizabeth, was a prominent attorney in St. Albans and the benefactor of their Town Hall.Carl- Thank you. This is very interesting information. I appreciate your work to share it with us. -Ken

Did I hear correctly, two of the trees have been removed? Everyone I show my photos to agrees that the front 2 trees need to go.
Regards to all in my adopted home.Claudia- The trees have not been removed yet but the plan is for them to come down. -Ken

Andy- Thank you. I was sure someone would know who he was. -Ken
Date: August 25, 2001 Name: Bud Hilliker Location: Jacksonville, FL 32257 Email: dhillike@bellsouth.net Comment: Norm,
I believe Mrs. Winchester was Levi Stewart's sister. Mrs. Winchester's daughter was Gilman Wallace Hilliker's first wife and died quite young.
My grandfather Densmore Stewart Hilliker was the only son of Gilman and the Winchester daughter.
This traces Winchesters back to the Stewart family.
Carl Smith might know more.
BudBud- Thank you. I knew someone would know more about the Winchesters. -Ken

Loved that aerial shot. Wish I could do aerial shots but I would probably drop the camera out the window. What is the name of the program you used to fix that old photo? Please don't tell me it is Adobe Print Shop. I will be back for a visit in Sept. I will have my first ride on the new bridge.Claudia- The program I use is Paint Shop Pro 7 from JASC Software (www.jasc.com). It is reasonably priced and does everything I've ever wanted to do with images. -Ken

I know I missed it or have long ago forgotten, but where did the name Winchester Park originate?Norm- I think the Winchester's were a prominent family in Corinna in the late 1800's and may have donated the land for the park. The short side-street beside the fire station going to the ball fields is called Winchester Avenue. Does anyone else know more? -Ken

Just wanted to say Hi to all the former patrons of Henderson's Grocery, since that is how I got to know most of you! I looked at the pictures of the deconstruction (or is it reconstruction?) of Main Street. I can't believe Henderson's is really gone!! Linda, Darryl, Shawn...are you out there? Aldie, how are you? I miss that place and all of you. Drop me a line if you get a chance. I'd love to hear from my old "family"...all those wonderful people of Corinna!!

Then that would make the Odd Fellow's Hall area 51?I think so.
Date: August 22, 2001 Name: David Du Bois Location: Kingston, New York Email: dapad@usadatanet.net Comment: Ken,
I agree with you. If the addition is to the old park it should keep the existing name of Winchester Park.
Corinna sure has changed, and it looks for the better as it will no longer be all huddled up in one little congested area.

Date: August 21, 2001 Name: Philla-Mae (Curtis) Morris Location: W. Swanzey, N. H. Email: phillamae@netzero.net Comment: Hi Ken;
I enjoyed seeing Corinna last week-end. Also, enjoyed visiting with your mom & dad at my cousin's 50th. wedding ann. in Exeter. We were reminiscing about our younger years...I told your dad I remember living across from his folks. They had a yellow house on the corner & we lived in a lg. brown house on the other corner. Teddy Closon lived next to us; he was like a big brother to my sister & me. One day I went upstairs to visit the kids who lived above us; about to knock on their door when I saw small flames in the upper part of the shed. A paint can & rags had been left by an open window with the intense heat of the sun shinning in..that must have started it. I ran down to the clothesline where my mom & Mrs. Clson were talking & tugged at my mom's and to tell her. I was ' hushed' as we were taught not to interrupt our elders. Finally, I blurted out that the house was on fire; that got their attention ! The fire truck came & I remember my dad walking up the back mill road to see what was going on..not much damage done. Was trying to think how old I was when we lived there..it was 1938, I was nine yrs. old....dad & I were listening to the old 'table' model radio ( not many news stations then ) . There was a 'live' newscast from Lakehurst, N.J. about the Hindenbury approaching, then, the announcer's voice changed & he told of that great airship bursting into flames. Most everyone has heard that broadcast. He was crying as he said, " Oh, what a loss of humanity.' I saw my dad crying also; any loss of life was taken very seriously in those days. Later that year, we were moving...had furnishings on a truck; the sky became grey & the rain & winds were strong. My uncle Elmer & dad took the mattresses off the truck..we slept on the floor that night. We were warned not to got near the windows. The hurricane came up the coast; our lg. tree fell across the road, blocking it..and no chain saws in those days ! !
We learned the extent of the hurricane the next day. ( Was that in Oct? ) Tell your mom I have a nice picture of her that I took last week-end; will get it to her. "Hi' to Bud and Hope in Florida; also Phil & Dot in Augusta. I have a picture my dad took of the Corinna library in 1928..no trees at all. In fact, a picture of it is in a glass paper-weight beside me right now. Happy I got to see the old home town ! Philla-Mae.

I think the park should be called cattail park.
Eastland is in the past. Keep up the good work.
Marilyn
Date: August 17, 2001 Name: Linda Deering Location: St. Albans Email: ldeering@tdstelme.net Comment: Cattail Park has my vote!
Date: August 16, 2001 Name: Ken Dow Location: Corinna, ME Email: ken@cattailpress.com Comment: I'm not sure exactly where there will be parkland after the cleanup but it seems likely there might be some expansion of the existing Winchester Park. If that is the case, if new parkland is connect to the present park, it should all still be called Winchester Park.
Date: August 16, 2001 Name: Jackie Emerson Location: Corinna, ME Email: jemer@tdstelme.com Comment: I'm just catching up on entries in the Cattail Press after an absence of a few days and truly enjoyed seeing the picture Danny Doherty sent in showing the Stewart Library Building in all its majestic glory [not hidden by the two front trees]. Regarding a name for the new park--I agree with the name Bud Hilliker suggested - Corundel Commons.

Date: August 16, 2001 Name: Arlene Location: First Roach Pond, 20 miles north of Greenville Email: jakesdad@gwi.net Comment: I vote in favor of Cattail Park too-----I think Eastland should stay in the past and Corinna should look to a brighter, better future. Ken, you deserve every bit of praise you get. You have done an excellent job of keeping the public informed every step of the way. I also enjoy the discussions on the town's history, keep up the good work.
Date: August 16, 2001 Name: James E Nelson Location: Kokadjo,Me. for now. Email: jakesdad@gwi.net Comment: I really don't have any comments. I enjoy yours. It will be interesting to see Corinna lift up out of the ashes to see what it will become. Does any one know what the finished results will be for a prosperous future?
Date: August 16, 2001 Name: Norm Clarke Location: Pittsfield Email: npclarke@gwi.net Comment: Ken,
OK, let's abandon the Eastland idea. It appeared to be as popular as the latest tax increase out of Augusta.
By popular demand, here's idea number two. Name it after the young lady who (whom?) the town
was named after. Then, certain sections of this new park could be set aside to honor people and things like the Cattail section, the Corundel section and sections named after people who have done much for Corinna, like John Bird for instance. Each section could be different , reflecting that particular theme. You could build a replica of the Eastland Mill with a giant hole in the center, at the entrance, for donations. Call it the Eastland money pit in remembrance of the costs of removing their contamination. The walkways of this park could be paved with the bricks. Just a thought and aren't you glad I don't have too many.
Date: August 16, 2001 Name: Shirley & Ed Brodeur Location: Gardiner, ME Email: brodeurs@juno.com Comment: Ed and I definitely agree that the name of the new park should be a link to the present and to the future, though we understood Norman Clarke's rational for choosing Eastland Park. The "Cattail Park" or "Cattail Common" since it will be the central area for the new Corinna would be a fitting name honoring the SITE that has brought so many of us together.
Date: August 15, 2001 Name: Jim Worster Location: Houlton ME Email: safetyjim@hotmail.com Comment: I have to agree with the others. It is time to put the name Eastland to bed. You have the Eastland School so it is time for something new. The Cattail Park is a great name and a new start for the town.
Date: August 15, 2001 Name: Phil Young Location: Augusta Email: younpm@aol.com Comment: I concur with Jeff Jacob, Don Seavey and Cathy Meagher on naming the park "The Cattail Park". It sounds appropriate. We drove over the new bridge last Saturday. Looking good!
Date: August 15, 2001 Name: Lorraine Hunter Location: Slab City Email: lhunter@tdstelme.net Comment: kEN,
I also think Cathy has a great name for the park.
I would like to see a sign that says (Corinna, Home of the Cattailpress) as you enter Corinna. Guess it was suggested before and I think it would be (COOL ! ! )

Date: August 15, 2001 Name: Bud Hilliker Location: Jacksonville, Florida Email: dhillike@bellsouth.net Comment: I like Cattail Park. How about Corundel Commons to get some more controversy started?
Date: August 15, 2001 Name: Beverly Stankevitz Location: Corinna Email: macbser@yahoo.com Comment: I am in favor of the park being called the Cattail Park. Ken has done a great job on the Cattail Press and I feel that he deserves the honor. It would also be an appropriate name for the location.
Date: August 15, 2001 Name: Mary Location: Corinna Email: Comment: Cattail Park has my vote! Do we have a Cattail Brick? [That should be a big one]
Date: August 14, 2001 Name: Jeff Jacob Location: Corinna Email: jjacob@tdstelme.net Comment: Cattail Park? You get a whole-hearted yes from me! We already have an abundance of sites, cemeteries and memorials dedicated to things past, but this idea makes complete sense for the future of Corinna. When that bridge opened, Corinna started a whole new life. Plus in this year 2001 I really think it's time to start generating some brand new memories so the kids can feel connected too. (Of course Ken, you are still in my doghouse over those trees but we shouldn't punish the Cattail Press for your faults!)
Date: August 14, 2001 Name: Don Seavey Location: Winthrop ME Email: donseavey@msn.com Comment: Ken, Cathy Meagher had a great idea (8/13) it would be a fitting way to thank you for what you've done for Corinnians past and present.
Date: August 13, 2001 Name: Cathy Meagher Location: Corinna, Me. Email: kokomo@tdstelme.net Comment: I just caught up on reading the new entries in the guest book and I see the beginning of a new debate?? I have a suggestion for a name for Corinna's new park. To honor Ken for the excellent job he has done with coverage on the mill project and keeping us all informed, I suggest calling the park "The Cattail Park". We can even plant some cattails along the river, as I'm sure they won't obstruct the view of our majestic landmark, The Stewart Library Building. Come on, Let's hear some more suggestions! Have a nice day
everyone!!Cathy- Thank you, but your mention here is honor enough for me and The Cattail Press. -Ken
Date: August 13, 2001 Name: Connie Location: Wells Email: Comment: Nice site. Jo Powers made me aware of it. I saw the take on the new restaurant on WCSH news. I am glad there was at least a lot of thought given to the trees. Too, bad as much thought couldn't have been given to the mills effect on the town and the Eastland school 'deal' decades ago. Hope plans will include something for the children and young people of the area, both entertainment and career development.
Date: August 13, 2001 Name: Daniel Parker Location: New Bern, NC Email: danielp@ncfreedom.net Comment: I see once again minority rules.
Danny- There has been a great deal of discussion in Corinna about the trees. Much more than here on The Cattail Press. I think a large majority of the town's people support the decision to remove the first two trees. -Ken
Date: August 13, 2001 Name: Claudia Breslin Location: Wickford, RI Email: CCbreeze7@aol.com Comment: At first I thought it would be a shame to cut the tree in front of the Stewart Library, then I got my photos back. It was almost impossible to get a good shot of the front of the building without those two trees in the way. I did manage to get one great shot, which I will share with the Historic Society. Now about those electrical wires. When are they going? Pleasant Street (sorry St. Albans Rd) is such a pretty place lots to photograph...but those wires. Also what about that UGLY mustard yellow building almost on top of the Methodist Church? Any plans to remove that eyesore? The church is so pretty (plus I am a Methodist) so
I would love to see that go.
By the way, I love your town and the folks in it. Of course I love the Carcieri's most of all, relatives you know. If you just were closer to the ocean, why I would move there myself. I always feel so at home when I visit. It must be wonderful to grow up in such a small community. Nice to know all your neighbor.
Regards to all,
Claudia
Date: August 11, 2001 Name: Jim Emerson Location: Downtown Corinna Email: jpemerson65@hotmail.com Comment: Just thought I'd let ya all know that the two maples are soon to be history. Did not appear to be as much opposition as I thought there was early on. I'm sure that whatever happens next will be discussed at great length by all interested parties. Thanks to all who expressed their opinions. It made the job of deciding what to do a little easier. Jim
P.S. Those two fir trees at the Rt 222 intersection will also be taken down.
Date: August 11, 2001 Name: Brian Knowles Location: Rochester NY Email: bpknowles@aol.com Comment: Norm, you may have just started the next great debate. I would hope the park would be named something different then Eastland. I also have many fond memories of working there and it provide a good income for me going to school. It also convinced me that was not a life time career.
It seems we lived with "Eastland School" in exchange for many, many years of no tax revenue from the mill, the town ended up with a large unpaid tax bill when the mill closed and who do you think is really paying for this clean up. I don't think it is some pot of gold the government found at no cost to the citizens go the United States. The park could honor veterans, especially those who died in the line of duty.
Ken, thanks for the site and keep up the great work.

Date: August 10, 2001 Name: Norm Clarke Location: upright Email: npclarke@gwi.net Comment: Ken,
Nice photo of the town. Good to see the "overhead" view so things can be put into perspective. The area between the new road and the old mill site, just below the Laundromat is a great place for the new park. Is that where is is going to be?
Perhaps it should be called Eastland Park. I know that that name causes a lot of hard feelings there but it did provide incomes for many, many people over that years and did a few things for the town. It was a large part of Corinna and it's history. The name would also signify that the "new" Corinna came about because of the mill and the tearing down of same. So, the name would have that double meaning.
I worked there for three and a half years. I did not, however, contribute to the pollution with the exception of a few bathroom breaks. It was not a bad work experience except for the low pay.
Date: August 9, 2001 Name: C.R."Bing" Grindle Location: Roanoke, Va Email: crgrindle@worldnet.att.net Comment: Well, the town looks just a little different today than when I used to visit my grandfather there seventy years ago! That Redman/Dow house is long gone, but in your picture today (8/8/01) it's easy to see where it was on that corner. I really liked today's picture which shows just how the new road goes. (I miss the fun we all were having recently with the tree discussions!) Best regards from Bing Grindle
Date: August 9, 2001 Name: Roger Seavey Location: Skowhegan, Maine Email: bigkahuna101@skow.net Comment: Hi Ken,
I have great memories of the town of Corinna, where I grew up. I remember the old drug store down town where I used to stop while waiting for a ride after sports practices. The town sure has changed. I remember the summers you taught me how to swim, at swimming lessons. I have way to many great memories to mention.
It was interesting to read other comments of Corinna, and a lot of familiar names in the guest book.

Date: August 7, 2001 Name: Alden & Corinne Schmitz Location: Bellevue, Nebraska Email: aldenschmitz@msn.com Comment: We went through Corinna last week while visiting relatives and old friends (and a new friend, "HI Lorraine!") It is hard to believe that Main ST no longer exists. At least it doesn't exist as the place I lived for 10 years in the 40s and 50s. We lived next door to Archie and Gail Sawtelle and their family. Corinne and I had the pleasure of visiting with Gail and her daughter, Jackie for a few minutes while we were in town..We wish the best for the planners who will, once again, make Corinna a place to stop in and not just go through.

I don't want the trees in front of the town hall to be cut down. I grew up with those trees. I feel that those trees are a part of our town's history. There have been so many changes to Corinna already, and if those trees are torn down, I won't recognize the town at all.

Date: August 6, 2001 Name: Jeff Jacob Location: Corinna Email: jjacob@tdstelme.net Comment: What a difference that new bridge makes. Nice job DOT, et. al.! There has been much discussion about what to do with the intersection of Spring Street, Exeter Road, and Route 7. I've heard everything from a 'roundabout', to demolishing either Marvin Lister's building or the Family Affair Restaurant, all the way up to building an Interstate cloverleaf interchange.
I've personally used the Exeter Road for many years, and that flashing caution light has been more than sufficient. If anything, it's even better than it was. I don't want to open another can of worms, but what would be wrong with leaving everything exactly the way it is now?

I wish to thank you once again for all the hard work you have put in the cattails. The photos are just great. I found by a right click on the photo will bring up the screen that you can set it as wall paper. Just left click, set as wall paper and you got it, enjoy ! !

Date: August 4, 2001 Name: Bruce Clarke Location: North of the bridge Email: blcbjc@midmaine.com Comment: I drove across the new bridge 3 times today, and then I parked my car and walked over it. That's the best way to take in all the newness of our "new" downtown. Not much room for buildings, but there's room for growth on both sides. Even got to stop and visit with folks on the walk. Roger Howes and I have the new town all figured out, just as everyone else probably does. Taking the walk reminds me of those days walking the old downtown, past Bob Brown's barbershop, Holbrook's Store, Carl Edgerly's, the Rexall, always seemed to be in the shade, while the big green mill basked in sun. The openness of it all will take some getting used to, but I guess it's our turn to build new memories for our heirs.

Anyone know anything about the 3 barnyard geese that have been down there lately? They seem to stay in one spot-pretty much. I wonder if they know how to survive in the wild. I suspect they are the same 3 geese seen wandering around town earlier this summer.

rather than building a new building.
