Sears Island is a HISTORICAL island due to it having wars, indigenous people, This 941-acre island, accessible at low tide from Searsport and then by a causeway built in the 1980s, seemed destined to be the spoils in a war between conservation and transportation interests. As it turns out, the fight ended with a kind of draw, but conservationists may see a recent development as a breach of the hard-won peace. In part because of its access to a protected, natural deep-water anchorage, Sears Island has drawn interest for substantial development over the last 50 years. An industrial park was proposed in 1969. One of the tenants wanted to build a nuclear power plant and an aluminum smelter. A moment of clarity for me came when a legal expert spoke to the group… In 1971, an oil desulphurization refinery was proposed, and then Central Maine Power made its own bid for a nuclear power plant on the island. Perhaps surprisingly, Searsport residents supported the nuke idea in a 532-182 vote in 1975. When a fault line was discovered under proposed location, CMP returned with a plan for a coal-fired plant. All the plans failed to win approval or were withdrawn. Then, in the 1980s, the state Transportation Department announced it would build a six-berth container port on Sears Island. The lawsuits began to fly, and one of the opponents succeeded in winning a restraining order. Rock Bound header One day in 1988, I was returning to Belfast and the Republican Journal office from an interview in Frankfort, and I stopped near the shore for lunch in my car. I noticed dump truck after dump truck headed toward the island. Apparently, the restraining order had been lifted, and before another could be sought, the state was going great guns on the port plan. As I recall, I took a photo that documented the beginning of the construction of the causeway which, to this day, fails to include culverts to allow the tide to flow through, thereby turning Stockton Harbor into a less biologically productive body of water. I have a personal relationship with the island, too. I have walked around it, 5 miles on the shore, probably 50 times. I once counted 17 distinct coves, each different-steep clay banks in one, rock cliffs in another, large oak trees here, alders and fir there. If you plan on walking there, remember what someone told me when I explored the shore below Grand Manan’s cliffs: Mind the tide. I also have mountain biked its trails and roads and snowshoed its changing inland terrain. You can’t get lost, because sooner or later, you cross the road that runs down the island, or see the shore. I take issue with colleagues who repeat the conservationist’s line that Sears Island is “the largest undeveloped island on the East Coast.” In addition to the causeway, there’s a rock jetty, a paved road that would allow two 18-wheelers to pass, a communications tower, an old gravel road, cleared meadows, and cellar holes. In the late 18th century, the island was owned by Gen. Henry Knox, George Washington’s first secretary of war. In those years, it was known as Brigadier’s Island. An 1880 survey noted that 75 sheep and about 30 cattle grazed on the island. In the early 20th century, an amusement park was built there. The state ended up buying the island-renamed for one of its owners, David Sears. When I was with the Bangor Daily News, I covered a protracted process that gathered conservationists and transportation advocates which resulted in a compromise-put 600-plus acres into permanent conservation but set aside another 300 acres for a port facility, if one was needed. A moment of clarity for me came when a legal expert spoke to the group, explaining that the state could seize Popham Beach State Park and turn it into a ferry landing if necessary. Obviously, such a move wouldn’t fly with the public, but if there were a critical need for a ferry landing, well… Late last year, the dailies reported that the state might use the jetty area to store and then ship parts for the floating wind energy project. In addition to the deep water, a rail line runs to Mack Point on the mainland, just 400 yards from the jetty. There are many questions to be answered before turbine blades are stacked on the island, but the hard lesson is that those in power determine what is in the public good. And to be honest, I can see merits both in leaving the island alone and in using its shipping potential. Time will tell, but I remember the headline an editor wrote on a story I wrote about the island for the BDN: “Survivor island.” Tom Groening is editor of The Working Waterfront.

5 years prison! Maximum sentence. It's not enough in my opinion!

Chi com traitor!

As I said that last time this was posted, back in the mid seventies in northern California where I live we had many refugees from the Vietnam war relocated to our community. After some time people noticed some pets missing and as it turned out many of the ducks and geese from our neighborhood park pond were being trapped as well and as it turned out our new Californians were in fact catching and eating these animals. The Vietnamese refugees as they were referred to then were simply in their minds taking advantage of a readily available food source. They were informed by the community that these animals were not to be eaten. It's the truth. You can be triggered if you want but that's what happened in Novato California. It was in the news. It's only cultural and I'm not trying to be offensive because I mentioned this in the same comment section of the identical video you showed a few hours earlier and it's like you reposted the video so my comment would not show. I'm not trying to say this is what happened for sure and I'm not trying to blame one group or another but you should not be afraid of a truth just because it hurts your delicate sensibilities news people no predators will remove a collar or only work within a few blocks of an area, come on.somtimes there will be culture shock even if you call everyone a "new mainers" grow up people, well get through this.

Great people

Wish he came back to Romania!

I'm not trying to blame anyone but I need to share a story. Back in the mid 70's, and after the vietnam war we had many refugees come to America. Which was no problem in our northern California neighborhood. Shortly after, some pets and even ducks and geese from local 0ark ponds began disappearing. As it turned out our new Vietnamese Americans were trapping and eating these animals before local authorities had to tell them these animals were pets and not to be eaten. It was only a misunderstanding of culture and all this soon stopped shortly after.

Very low audio.

Cool

First! Looks like a fun time

The bell in the background is annoying and distracting.

I have no idea how I missed the Yes! album when it came out, so glad he still collaborates with Raining Jane because their sound together is fire

Learn from development of Minnesota's Boundary Waters. Thanks for this interview.

Unless stolen again, Trump will win.... 😁

Keep Maine white! 😁

Congratulations 🍾🎊

On the level brothers

Free her. Men do this to women all the time.

why is NJ pink?

how about you don't commit crimes, build bigger jails

Jared Golden is a turncoat. We need someone else for our Democratic ticket. No way will I ever vote for a republican

People have a right to change their minds.This is just another smear campaign from the GOP.It's time for them to grow up and work to govern,not rule.

Such a wise, honest and devoted man. Thank you Bernie Sanders for All you give to our country. So grateful to you!! ❤❤🗽❤️❤️

Nothing to be proud of here...

sellout

I love Tatum! These videos seriously makes my day.! ♥️♥️♥️

Dispatching is tough work, thats great they get their own space now.

>>The old track, you just can't replace it.<< Then go to any other track in the state, asphalt tracks are a dime a dozen. This appears to be the only one in the state. Sideways on the dirt is real racing.

You lose credibility to your game when you reclass

Rest in piece My great grandpa, the grandfather of ate. I've never met you, but i've heard stories of how you've lived and how you were a great person. Including this video and your memorial on the 20th of july, 2024. you've left to see your wife after, what i can imagine, very long years on july 4th, 2024. Rest in piece.

Why can’t you do this in 60fps?
