I have a full-time job... I’m the shuttle service for my
soccer-playing, tap-dancing kids... I have a
husband, parents and a dog.
How do I stay informed? Like everybody else,
as best I can.
Why do I take time to read the public notices
in the newspaper? Simple—they tell me
what I need to know. Like the town is
about to resurface the road I live on,
or kindergarten registration is next
week, or that the town report
won’t be delivered door-to-door
this year.
Staying informed doesn’t have
to be a part-time job.

By Jacqueline Weaver
SULLIVAN — Th e French-
man Bay Conservancy has, in
six years, more than tripled the
acreage it has brought under
protection for hiking, snow-
shoeing, canoeing, kayaking
and fi shing.Today, the organization
owns or has easements to 6,300
acres, up from 2,000 acres in
2008. More than 3,600 acres
are accessible to the public.
Executive Director Tom
Sidar said the pace of land
acquisitions and conserva-
tion easements is being largely
fueled by aging residents con-
cerned about the future of
their land.“People who have owned
properties for generations and
have a strong emotional con-
nection to the land in its wild
state are worried about the
future,” Sidar said. “Th ere are
always imminent threats, long
term, that it will be cut up and
developed and there will be no
trespassing signs. Th ere is this
feeling that Maine is where we
grew up and all this needs to be
protected.”Th e conservancy is in the
process of completing negotia-
tions for more than 200 acres
of land that will enable it to fi n-
ish a trail from Long Cove on
Route 1 to Schoodic Mountain.
Th e seven-mile trail would
be accessed from the conser-
vancy’s trailhead at the Baker
Hill Preserve in Sullivan.Sidar said any land that the
organization owns is open to
the public.Land for which the con-
servancy has a conservation
easement is still in possession
of the landowner, but devel-
opment is greatly restricted to
protect wildlife habitat. Public
access on these properties is at
times permitted.Th e conservancy, which
today has 14 miles of hiking
trails, was founded in 1987.
Th e fi rst preserve it acquired
was Little Tunk Pond.
Th e organization’s newest
acquisitions include important
features of the Frenchman Bay
and Union River watersheds.
Linda Grover Coleman in
February sold to the conser-
vancy 50 acres of land in Mari-
aville Falls with almost 1,000
feet of frontage on the West
Branch of the Union River.
Th e new acquisition com-
bines with a 73-acre parcel the
conservancy purchased from
the heirs of Roland Edgecomb
in 2012 and a 17-acre conser-
vation easement it acquired
along the west shore of the
Union River.Th e acquisitions as a whole
protect nearly three-quarters
of a mile of the Union River
on both sides, including the
islands in the middle.Coleman said the Grover
side of her family dates back
to the early 1800s when they
owned a store in the original
settlement village.Th e town thrived for nearly
30 years on milling white pine.
Th e bark of the hemlock trees
was used in the leather tanning
mill.Th e village died when the
pines were gone and the hem-
lock bark was used up.Coleman, who lives in
California, purchased the land
from her mother aft er it had
been in the family for more
than a century.
Her intention was to keep it
and pass it down to her heirs.
But then the Edgecomb heirs
sold the conservancy their
land, which circled her prop-
erty.Coleman said she and her
husband were struck by the
value of public access aft er tak-
ing their granddaughters to
visit the former Hearst Castle
in San Simeon, Calif., which is
a state historical site.“At fi rst we were going to
do a right of way to our water-
front along the river, then it
occurred to us that we would
still have use of it when we
went back to walk the trail and
fi sh,” she said.Another motivator, Cole-
man said, was that the conser-
vancy said it would do its best
to make the trail accessible to
all, not just hikers who are very
fi t.Th e conservancy also
obtained a 17-acre easement
on the west shore from Rob-
bins Lumber Co. of Searsmont.
Among other conservancy
preserves are Tidal Falls in
Hancock, the Corea Heath
in Gouldsboro, Indian Point
in Ellsworth and Little Tunk
Pond in Sullivan.
By Jennifer OsbornBLUE HILL — Th e region’s
fi rst minister, Jonathan Fisher,
began building the yellow
house that sits on the Mines
Road 200 years ago.Fisher also was an art-
ist, farmer, builder, scientist,
mathematician, surveyor and
writer.A number of events are
planned in celebration of the
anniversary. A symposium, “Nature,
Art and Spirit in the Life and
Work of Jonathan Fisher,” will
be held at the First Congrega-
tional Church of Blue Hill on
Friday, July 25, at 10 a.m.On Saturday, July 26, at 1
p.m., a talk and demonstra-
tion will be held at the Fisher
Homestead on “Th e Fashion-
ing Hand of Jonathan Fisher:
An Inside Look at the Parson’s
Furniture.” Th e talk will be fol-
lowed by a formal tea. On July 30, from 7 to 9 p.m.
at Blue Hill Public Library, an
illustrated presentation will be
off ered on “Jonathan Fisher
and the Making of the Scrip-
ture Animals.”Blue Hill resident Amey
Dodge is president of the Jona-
than Fisher Memorial, which
runs the homestead.“Communities were not
allowed to form towns or small
communities without certain
things,” Dodge said. “One of
them was a settled minister. He
was the fi rst settled minister
on this end of the Penobscot
River.“I always say he was a min-
ister. I’m not sure it was his
passion. His passion seemed to
be mathematics and art.”Much of Fisher’s artwork,
which includes paintings, is at
the Farnsworth Art Museum.
Fisher was one of seven
children, many of whom were
sent to live with relatives aft er
their father died from illness
during the Revolutionary War.
“Jonathan went with an
uncle who was a Congrega-
tional minister,” Dodge said.
“He paid for his education to
go to Harvard Divinity School
provided he became a minis-
ter.”
Fisher taught himself art,
including painting in oil and
watercolor.Sketches can be found ran-
domly through his school
math workbooks.Fisher served as minister
for the Blue Hill Peninsula,
traveling to Brooklin and
Brooksville and beyond. He
was a founder of the Bangor
Th eological Seminary.All of these places he alleg-
edly reached on foot.“He didn’t have a horse until
he was 54 years old,” Dodge
said.Downeast magazine, in
July 1977, ran an article about
Fisher that stated he had been
a poor rider and felt safer on
foot.Aft er agreeing to become
parson in Maine, Fisher mar-
ried Dolly Battle of Dedham,
Mass.Fisher described Battle in
a diary entry as the “owner
of neither external beauty
nor riches, but, blessed God!
an economist with an ami-
able temper,” according to the
aforementioned Downeast
magazine article.Dodge would like more
local residents to visit the
house.“We are so much better
visited and known by people
from away than we are locally,”
she said. Th is is what visitors to the
homestead can see, according
to the Fisher website:• Artwork, including
paintings, drawings, watercol-
ors and woodblock prints.
• Furniture Fisher made for
his family and others.• An extensive library.• A homemade alarm clock,
with a dial that tells time in fi ve
languages.• Homemade surveying
tools.• A device called a camera
obscura, which Fisher made to
aid his sketching.Th e members of the Jona-
than Fisher Memorial are rec-
reating Fisher’s 1820 orchard,
using the minister’s original
plans and a 200-year-old pear
tree. Th e homestead is open to
the public July 2 to Aug. 30,
Wednesday-Saturday, 1 to 4
p.m. and Sept. 5 to Oct. 11,
Friday-Saturday, 1 to 4 p.m.

Hikers enjoy the 58-acre Baker Hill easement owned by the Frenchman Bay Conservancy off Punkinville Road in
Sullivan.
The Frenchman Bay
Conservancy has received accreditation by the Land Trust
Accreditation Commission following four years of extensive
documentation and a rigorous review.
Tammara Van Ryn, executive director of the Land Trust Ac-
creditation Commission, said the review includes how the
board governs, how its fi nances are managed, how it acquires
conservation properties and its commitment to stewardship
of those properties.
“We don’t discuss the particulars of any one case,” she said, “but
what I can say is that donors to the conservancy should feel
confi dent that the money and land they give the conservancy
is going to the purposes for which it’s intended. People should
feel confi dent that all of the organization’s land is protected
and will stay that way forever.”
The Frenchman Bay
Conservancy is one of 238 land trusts from across the coun-
try that have been awarded accreditation since 2008.

Woodlawn Will Be
Bustling in July
By Charles Eichacker
ORLAND — A couple
hundred souls came together
this past weekend for Orland
River Day, an annual, daylong
ritual featuring a homemade
raft race, a parade and various
other types of merrymaking.
One activity missing from
this year’s festivities was the
cannonball competition that
normally happens off the dock
behind Old Th ings Antiques.
Th at dock is no longer there,
prompting the contest to be
canceled. Otherwise, the day went
off with fl ying colors. Th e
sun drenched everyone who
came, so in lieu of the can-
nonball competition, some
youths managed to stay cool
by taking the 20-foot plunge
off the Ralston Gray Memo-
rial Bridge. On Friday evening, four
girls triumphed in the Miss
Orland River Day Pageant and
were selected to join Kathy
Conary as grand marshals of
the parade the next morning.
Th e new River Day queens
were Hannah Atwood (in the
2-4-year-old category), Lillian
Soper (5-7), Abigail Coffi n
(8-10) and Abrina Patterson
(11-13).Wearing tiaras and dresses,
they sat on the back of an
aquamarine Chevy convertible
driven by Roger Wood. Th ey
led the procession from the
Orland Community Center,
ELLSWORTH AMERICAN PHOTOS BY CHARLES EICHACKER
Hundreds Celebrate Orland River Day
down School House and Old
County roads and across the
Castine Road bridge. Following them were men
and women campaigning for
political offi ce, local packs
and troops of boy and girl
Scouts, fl oats, classic cars,
fi re trucks and members of
the Anah Shrine wearing fez-
style hats and zipping around
in miniature stock cars and
long-haul trucks. According to Alvion Kim-
ball, who emceed River Day,
four prizes were awarded
aft er the parade. Most Spir-
ited went to a group of local
women that calls itself the
Th irsty Th ursday Club and
was dressed as “Wizard of
Oz” characters. (Led by Mar-
garet Rankin, that group
also organized the River Day
events.)Th e Most Original prize
went to Peter Weser, who
provided three antique vehi-
cles for the parade: a 1973
Pantera, a 1956 Ford Th un-
derbird and a 1969 Chevy
Camaro. Th e Judges’ Choice
prize went to the town Fish
Committee, whose fl oat rep-
licated the conveyor belt
that lets alewives climb the
Orland River Dam. For the next couple
hours, Narramissic Drive
was blocked off for a baked
bean cook-off , a kids magic
show by Danny Baker, a set
by local rock musicians and
other games and vendors. In
the river, staff from Castine
Kayak Adventures provided a
workshop on capsizing. Many ambled up to Orland
United Methodist Church,
where a rummage sale was
under way and strawberry
shortcake was providing
much needed jet fuel to those
in attendance.Th e climax of the festivi-
ties was the raft race, in which
several groups fl oat down the
river in watercraft made from
Styrofoam panels, ladders,
bathtubs and fl ower pots. Th e
victors were Richard Powell
and Jerry Harriman, whose
vessel Dragon Fly fl oated on
plastic bottles. Th e day concluded with
over 200 yellow rubber ducks
getting dumped into the river
and fl oated downstream.

merce, that “Duck Dash” led
