Annual Town Report 2017-2018Town Report DedicationMany of those who move here from elsewhere or who only summer here tip toe into positiveparticipation in island affairs. There was nothing incremental about the contributions of TedJohansen and Pat Lundholm who, from the moment they set foot on the island in the late 90’s, veryclearly felt not only a undeniable affection for their adopted community, but an unwaveringcommitment to share what they had to offer—and they had much—with the rest of us. They’d onlyjust settled when Pat stepped up to become interim Town Manager until Marjorie Stratton was hiredto fill that position in 2002. Pat and Ted, each on the Sewer Committee, were instrumental in helpingMarjorie manage the complex administration of that enormous project and implementation of theSewer Ordinance. Today, thanks to Pat, we call the terminal and get a line number if we want toleave the island with a vehicle. Before she developed and instituted this system, we all parked ourcars in the ferry line, moved up, went home, came back, moved up, went home, came back and so onwith each successive departure until we finally got on board. For the last several years Pat has beenthe entirely selfless leader of our EMT Team, setting the bar for professionalism higher every day,giving herself entirely to that position, and ensuring that more and younger team members have theopportunity to receive advanced training. Pat played a pivotal role in the recent and eminentlysuccessful implementation of the Town’s single-stream recycling program and in creating anaccounting program for on-site transactions at the Transfer Station. This Town Report is dedicated toPat Lundholm whose loving contributions have improved life for us all on so many fronts.Town of Vinalhaven1
Annual Town Report 2017-2018In MemoriamBodine gave of that which she had in abundance: love, love for her island community ofVinalhaven, love for all of us who shared this special place with her and a legendary generosity indispensing that love and anything else she had that she could offer to help others.In 1994 WLBZ-TV presented Bodine with the Jefferson Award, given annually to honor thehighest ideals and achievement in the field of public service and for which, in recognition ofdecades of devoted work, her fellow islanders had enthusiastically nominated her.In 1996 the Mid-Coast Human Resources Council recognized Bodine for spending so much ofher own time simply doing everything she could to make Vinalhaven a better place in which tolive and grow.In 2000 the Nature Conservancy acknowledged Bodine’s years long devotion to keeping its LanesIsland Preserve pristine and inviting for all to enjoy.In 2012 the Town of Vinalhaven dedicated a just restored architectural artifact, the Old EngineHouse, to Bodine in recognition of her determination to save this important historic landmark.Our memory of Bodine will be that of a woman who set the bar of community and communityservice very high.Town of Vinalhaven2
