      <image:caption>“It’s an absolute privilege for kids to be raised in a family that can provide a responsible, money earning, work ethic-teaching job for them. We are raising future adults, not children, and studies show that kids who are given a responsible part in a family business go on to be much more successful and capable adults, far and above the rest of the population, leaving a legacy for generations. Surely the Maine government wants to endorse the raising of hardworking, high tax-paying citizens for the next generation. This fight is such a shortsighted way to micromanage Maine.”  -Sarah Heanssler of Deer Isle, married to a lobsterman</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I know a lot of middle school aged kids who run their own lobster boats in the summer. I also know a lot who go [as] sternmen to make some money for their future. They jump on a boat for the summer and build up their savings account. Should this only be available to those whose families already fish? I find that unfair. I know plenty of kids who love to lobster but their families aren’t in the business so they haul with non-family members.”  - Melanie Bray, local school teacher in Deer Isle and member of a lobster family.

      <image:caption>“Covid hurt the work force in a big way and to take away the chance to teach young people about work ethic and earning your own way is a travesty and putting that much more strain on an already fragile work force. Going to work isn't only about the money.  It's also about self worth and a person earning the right to be proud of themselves for putting in a hard day’s work.” - Scott Keenan, fisherman from Blue Hill (back) captaining his boat F/V Dear Abbie with his son Jacob banding lobsters.

      <image:caption>‘ICE OUT’: An anti-ICE protest in Deer Isle drew several dozen people on Jan. 10. The protest was in response to the Minneapolis shooting of U.S. citizen Renee Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, by an immigration officer. Good was killed on Jan. 7 as she drove away from immigration officers who had attempted to stop her. The shooting sparked hundreds of protests across the country, including several in Maine.

      <image:caption>Even under overcast skies, the March 22 snowfall brought out the bright colors of the 1814 Parson Jonathan Fisher House at 44 Mines Road. Even at 212 years old, Fisher's house looks sharp, thanks to the work of the volunteers and contractors with the Fisher House organization. In 2025, the group began a major restoration project to restore and repair all the original windows in the 1814 section of the house, with work being done by Deer Isle craftsman Everett Oakes Fiske.

      <image:caption>The next time someone says a storm is “safely out to sea,” writes Wheel Watch columnist Brian Robbins, remember that someone is somewhere out there in the thick of it, like his brother Stevie Robbins’ Shirley &amp; Freeman, which fished for lobsters 180 miles offshore–an 18-hour steam from Stonington to the gear. The 44-foot vessel is seen here in the late 1970s or early 1980s tied up at Clyde Conary’s lobster car, now Greenhead Lobster. Photo courtesy of Brian Robbins.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Rising Tide-Lifestyle - BOOK REVIEW: Power and love amid a drug war in Maine</image:title>
      <image:caption>“There’s nothing so sad as three old spies trying to prove they still have what it takes.”   Suspended are the days of sticky bug spray, lobster boats hauling gear and long lines at Hannafords. Winter has arrived here on the coast and this cozy mystery set in a fictional small rural town, closely resembling our neck of the woods is an ideal snow day read. Imagine my surprise when I first read this novel in the Blue Hill Library’s “Maine Room” and glanced up to see a shelf chock full of the author’s titles. With 30+ romantic thrillers, medical thrillers and even a television-adapted crime series in her catalog, Camden based author Tess Gerritsen is well versed in Maine narratives.  First in an ongoing series (The Martini Club) The Spy Coast features Maggie Bird and a band of merry retired CIA operatives. Maggie’s quiet life on a chicken farm in Purity, Maine comes to an abrupt halt when a dead body turns up in her driveway, and an old vendetta from her time on-the-job resurfaces. Readers are sent on a wild ride including scenes in Bangkok, Istanbul, Malta, and London, and discover heroes, villains and characters who blur the lines, during this entertaining and fast paced novel. The second book in the series, The Summer Guests, was published last Spring, and number 3, The Shadow Friends hits shelves this August. Now might be the perfect time to dive in! Within the pages you will definitely recognize some settings unique to our corner of the world, and if you have some friends who used to “work for the government” like I do, you just may recognize some characters too!</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Rising Tide-Lifestyle - THE U-TURN: Fire department breathes easier with new system - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>FREE REFILLS—The Penobscot Fire Department installed a “cascade system” on Feb. 21 that now allows firefighters to replenish air tanks from one of their trucks. The department bought the used system from the Blue Hill Fire Department, which now has a newer system on one of its trucks. The system allows firefighters to replenish more than a dozen air tanks at the scene of a fire. “This is something the department has needed for quite a while. We’ve relied on other departments to fill our tanks at the scene,” said Penobscot Fire Chief James Clarke. Working on the installation are, from left, Lt. Tom Allen, Assistant Chief Tyler Snow, and Clarke. Below is the installed system—complete with a basket made from lobster trap wire. Photos by John Boit.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Rising Tide-Lifestyle - BOOK REVIEW: A spy novel in Maine where the spooks look familiar</image:title>
      <image:caption>“There’s nothing so sad as three old spies trying to prove they still have what it takes.”   Suspended are the days of sticky bug spray, lobster boats hauling gear and long lines at Hannafords. Winter has arrived here on the coast and this cozy mystery set in a fictional small rural town, closely resembling our neck of the woods is an ideal snow day read. Imagine my surprise when I first read this novel in the Blue Hill Library’s “Maine Room” and glanced up to see a shelf chock full of the author’s titles. With 30+ romantic thrillers, medical thrillers and even a television-adapted crime series in her catalog, Camden based author Tess Gerritsen is well versed in Maine narratives.  First in an ongoing series (The Martini Club) The Spy Coast features Maggie Bird and a band of merry retired CIA operatives. Maggie’s quiet life on a chicken farm in Purity, Maine comes to an abrupt halt when a dead body turns up in her driveway, and an old vendetta from her time on-the-job resurfaces. Readers are sent on a wild ride including scenes in Bangkok, Istanbul, Malta, and London, and discover heroes, villains and characters who blur the lines, during this entertaining and fast paced novel. The second book in the series, The Summer Guests, was published last Spring, and number 3, The Shadow Friends hits shelves this August. Now might be the perfect time to dive in! Within the pages you will definitely recognize some settings unique to our corner of the world, and if you have some friends who used to “work for the government” like I do, you just may recognize some characters too!</image:caption>

Club members assembled and decorated 132 poinsettias for delivery on Dec. 1 along with soup and bread prepared by volunteers with the Simmering Pot. In addition to those in the meal delivery program, poinsettias were also delivered to patients and staff at Blue Hill Hospital, and to several local libraries. Club members pictured are (from left to right): Peggy Hopkins, Natalie Moses, Kat Stark, Melody Williams, Miffy Maffei, Anne Gilchrist and Linda Soukup.

      <image:caption>CUTBACKS: A dog and its owner wait to pass a tree-cutting operation along Penobscot’s Western County Road on Sept. 19. The Maine Department of Transportation has been cutting back the roadside vegetation for two weeks, some of which had been hanging over the pavement in spots before work began. The work has reduced small sections of the road to one-way traffic regulated by temporary stoplights (below) during the week. As of Oct. 1, both sides of the road had been cut back from Southern Bay Road to almost the Penobscot/Blue Hill town line. Photos by John Boit.</image:caption>

The schooners have been doing this annually at a variety of locations on the Maine coast when calm conditions are forecast, allowing the boats to tie together safely. Seven boats are visible in this photo, and others joined later in the evening. From left to right are Ladona, Grace Bailey, Angelique, American Eagle, Lewis R.

      <image:caption>PROTECTED VIEW: Volunteers erected two fundraising signs September 15 at the entrance to the Salt Pond blueberry barrens on Route 172 in Blue Hill. The 38-acre property is currently owned by Blue Hill Community Development through a loan by a local foundation. The land will be transferred to Blue Hill Heritage Trust to become a preserve once the loan is repaid. The property was slated to be developed for nine luxury homes, but when the subdivision application was denied by the Blue Hill Planning Board, BHCD was able to purchase the land from the developer. Local volunteers organized under the name Save the Salt Pond Blueberry Barrens Group are now helping lead the fundraising effort to repay the loan. Larry Lefkowitz, one of the group's leaders, says the group has raised more than 80 percent of the $1.8 million needed, "but there's plenty of work left to be done." Learn more at BHCD.org.
