History,Mystery & Curses REMEMBERING OUR PAST

The cities share a historical heritage. For centuries in pre-American history, the dramatic falls of the Saco River, near where it now crosses Main Street, attracted summer visits from the native people for seasonal fishing and hunting. Islands in the Saco River separate the two towns where you will find acres of red-brick mill buildings. These mills once housed industries employing thousands of immigrant workers. The influx of immigrants from Europe and Quebec added cultural diversity to the area’s other assets. The 19th century brought modern industrial capital development to the area. Corporations established in the area included a nail factory, many cotton milling factories, cotton mills, machine shops, iron foundries and cigar factories. With the development of massive cotton mills on the western falls of 16

the river, the sister cities of Biddeford and Saco became leaders of manufacturing in the industrial age. Despite setbacks during the Civil War, the Panic of 1873, and the Crash of 1929, the area’s people and industries prospered for most of the next hundred years. Saco has eight properties that are individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places. They include The Way-Way General Store; Jacobs Houses and Store; A.B. Seavey House; Saco High School; Saco City Hall; Joseph Deering House; Thacher Goodale House; and Grant Farm. Biddeford’s historic places include the Biddeford City Hall and City Theater. The Biddeford Historical Society and the Franco-American Genealogical Society of York County are housed in the McArthur

Library in Biddeford. The Historical Society is the secondary depository for the early records of the City of Biddeford and has records from 1628 to 1932. There is also a collection of memorabilia, personal diaries and scrapbooks. All the vital statistics of Old Saco and the Town of Biddeford have been transcribed and are available for research upon request. Books providing excellent details of local history include “Sand, Spindles & Steeples” by Roy Fairfield; “Cities On The Saco” by Jacques Downs; and “Saco, Then and Now” by Peter N. Scontras.

Courier, ran a story in July 2003 requesting readers to submit their theories about what the stones were used for. Some of the holes in the middle of the stones are square while others are round. They are too soft of a stone and without a circular pattern to have been grindstones. The area where the stones were buried once housed textile mills and a leather tannery. The city put the stones around the station parking lot landscape. For now, the stones are still a mystery. If you think you know what the stones were once used for, contact Peter Morelli at pmorelli@sacomaine.org.

Curses The Saco River is lazy at times; sleepy in the winter when the water freezes; playful other times; and sometimes cruel and vengeful. Everyone locally knows of the Legend of the Curse of the Saco River. In the summer of 1675, rowdy sailors from an English ship rowed up the river and came across an Indian woman who was paddling a canoe with her baby. The sailors taunted her, asking if it was true that Indian children could swim at birth. They attacked her and tossed the baby in the river. The mother, who was also pregnant, dove in to save the child. They both died. Enraged, her husband, an Indian chief, vowed revenge. He went down to the river and commanded it to take the lives of three people every year. In many years, the river has complied. 17

The Pew survey results indicated that a quarter of all Internet users have a cell phone that connects to the internet wirelessly; one in eight use PDAs to make that wireless connection. Some 40 percent of Internet users under age 30 who connect to the Internet via laptop computer do so wirelessly; another 40 percent use their web-enabled cell phones; and 17 percent use wireless PDAs. The “New Convergence” 2007 At the 2007 Las Vegas Consumer Electronics Show, Gary Shapiro, president and CEO of the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA), spoke about the “new convergence” taking place, forecasting that the consumer electronics industry will soar to $155 billion in 2007. “Everything is becoming

digital and everything with a digital heartbeat will get connected,” said Ed Zander, president and CEO of Motorola. “It truly is the Internet in your pocket.” Converged communcations, mobile media, wireless, WiFi, WAP — the runaway train hurdling through the digital frontier shows no signs of slowing down; marketers are jumping on board at every stop. The World is Going Mobile The 24/7, worldwide connectivity available through these new technologies reiterates what we already know: we’re going mobile in almost every aspect of their lives. Consumers are spending less time with traditional media; businesses are seeking ways to reach those consumers through new media. For example, Gen Y young adults, (ages 18-26) spend 25 percent less time watching TV than Gen X, and 50 percent less time than Baby Boomers. It’s predicted that well over $500 billion LESS will be

ABI Research found that by 2011, some 250 million users will be making and receiving phone calls over converged fixed-mobile networks and access points — around 10 percent of households and 8 percent of enterprises. In 2006, North America achieved 93.2 percent wireless subscriber penetration. An Internet Week survey found that traffic, gas prices and irritation with waiting in line are driving consumers to spend more time shopping online than ever before. Another report indicates that 87 percent of consumers research products online prior to making a purchase. Consistently growing numbers of older adult consumers are regularly buying products online. One in 10 consumers internationally now buys products and services through their cell phones. The onset of greater imaging capabilities through cell phones and other wireless handhelds will also boost sales. Nokia’s new Ad Service will help advertisers target messages through mobile services and applications. A Nokia spokesman noted that, “as advertisers struggle to reach personalized targeting with traditional media such as

print and TV, mobile advertising is becoming an increasingly attractive channel for brands.” Technology is so advanced that, as the CEO of Acuity Mobile points out, ads can be delivered instantly to web-enabled cell phone users who have agreed to accept them, when and where they expect. A consumer who has approved mobile ads from Jiffy Lube, for example, will receive one as he’s approaching a participating location — AND let him know if he’s due for an oil change! The availability of such tools will spur greater investment in new convergence marketing media, and likely grow beyond the dollars invested in traditional media as these new communications platforms and technologies emerge. Reaching Target Markets Identifying and researching target audiences is, and has been since the inception of commerce and trade, the bottom-line goal of successful marketing. Convergence technology allows marketers to deliver their sales messages to tightly targeted niche markets and core consumer clusters across multiple media platforms, much more cost effectively than traditional media ever could. Even before the product rollout and ad campaign begin, research in the form of surveys, product evaluation, even focus groups — all can be conducted in a short period of time with immediate, measurable results through converged communication. Traditional media may languish to some extent in the coming years, but the ad dollars it generated aren’t going away. The media conglomerates are pouring billions of dollars into new media to position themselves in a world of converging and converged communications.

Worship KEEPING THE FAITH

Biddeford and Saco are home to a variety of religions. Immigrants from all over the world arrived to the area seeking work, and their descendants continue to live in these two communities. Worship plays a central role in the life of the community. Church groups offer fellowship and fun at festive annual fairs or by volunteering at various food banks and food pantries.
