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,

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.

Sponsored by the Bucksport

merce, that “Duck Dash” led

to one lucky woman winning

$500 when her adopted duck
