Hancock County Court By Jacqueline Weaver SULLIVAN — 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 fishing. 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. “ere are always imminent threats, long term, that it will be cut up and developed and there will be no trespassing signs. ere is this feeling that Maine is where we grew up and all this needs to be protected.” e conservancy is in the process of completing negotia- tions for more than 200 acres of land that will enable it to fin- ish a trail from Long Cove on Route 1 to Schoodic Mountain. 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. e conservancy, which today has 14 miles of hiking trails, was founded in 1987. e first preserve it acquired was Little Tunk Pond. 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. 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. 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. e town thrived for nearly 30 years on milling white pine. e bark of the hemlock trees was used in the leather tanning mill. 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 aſter 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 aſter tak- ing their granddaughters to visit the former Hearst Castle in San Simeon, Calif., which is a state historical site. “At first 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 fish,” 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 fit. 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 Osborn BLUE HILL— e region’s first 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 “e Fashion- ing Hand of Jonathan Fisher: An Inside Look at the Parson’s Furniture.” 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 offered 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 first 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 aſter 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 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. Aſter 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. 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 five languages. • Homemade surveying tools. • A device called a camera obscura, which Fisher made to aid his sketching. 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. 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. Thursday, July 3, 2014 Section I, Page FOUR “Best of Maine”—Down East Magazine “Best of New England”—Yankee Magazine “One of 50 Things to Do in Maine This Summer” —Bangor Daily News Shop, think and explore the universe in a unique, fun, interactive place that visitors call “amazing”and “the coolest store on the planet”and “a world of wonder for children of all ages”and “a spectrum of wows!” Great for rainy days—or sunny ones.

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 finances 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 confident that the money and land they give the conservancy is going to the purposes for which it’s intended. People should feel confident 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. Frenchman Bay Conservancy Acquisitions Have Tripled Jonathan Fisher House Celebrates 200th Anniversary In 1796, Jonathan Fisher (1768- 1847) was the first settled minister of Blue Hill and in 1814 the raising of Fisher’s house began.

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 raſtrace, a parade and various other types of merrymaking. One activity missing from this year’s festivities was the cannonball competition that normally happens offthe dock behind Old ings Antiques. at dock is no longer there, prompting the contest to be canceled. Otherwise, the day went off with flying colors. 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. e new River Day queens were Hannah Atwood (in the 2-4-year-old category), Lillian Soper (5-7), Abigail Coffin (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. ey led the procession from the Orland Community Center, 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 office, local packs and troops of boy and girl Scouts, floats, classic cars, fire 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 aſter the parade. Most Spir- ited went to a group of local women that calls itself the irsty ursday Club and was dressed as “Wizard of Oz” characters. (Led by Mar- garet Rankin, that group also organized the River Day events.) e Most Original prize went to Peter Weser, who provided three antique vehi- cles for the parade: a 1973 Pantera, a 1956 Ford un- derbird and a 1969 Chevy Camaro. e Judges’ Choice prize went to the town Fish Committee, whose float 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. e climax of the festivi- ties was the raſtrace, in which several groups float down the river in watercraſtmade from Styrofoam panels, ladders, bathtubs and flower pots. e victors were Richard Powell and Jerry Harriman, whose vessel Dragon Fly floated on plastic bottles. e day concluded with over 200 yellow rubber ducks getting dumped into the river and floated downstream. Sponsored by the Bucksport Bay Area Chamber of Com- merce, that “Duck Dash” led to one lucky woman winning $500 when her adopted duck driſted across the finish line first. orland.fenceviewer.com Film Showing In Hancock HANCOCK — Twenty- five years ago, the film “Pet Sematary,” based on a novel by Stephen King, was released.
