MAINE - A free fishing weekend is just ahead for everyone in the State of Maine. On June 2 & 3, any person may fish in the state of Maine without a license, except for those few who have had their license suspended or revoked. All other rules and regulations, including bag and possession limits, do apply. “It’s our hope that families would take advantage of this weekend, and take advantage of what Maine has to offer,” said Andrea Erskine, Deputy Commissioner of the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife. “We are looking for future anglers to carry on the tradition.” With a free fishing weekend, anglers in Maine will have a lot to fish for. The Department stocks more than 1 million fish each year. And they’ll have a lot of room to do it – Maine has more than 30-thousand miles of streams and rivers, and more than 3-thousand lakes and ponds. That gives plenty of room to roam for more than 21 species of freshwater game fish managed by the Department. Again, Saturday June 2, and Sunday June 3, are the free fishing days – so get out and enjoy Maine waters!

Closed Mon & Tues: Open 9 to 5 Wed thru Fri, Sat & Sun 9 to 4 HAMPDEN/DEXTER - Maine herbalist Linda Tisdale of Alchemilla Herbal Apothecary in Dexter will teach a workshop on "Making and Using Flower Essences" Sunday, June 10 from 1-4 p.m. at Heart Stone House on Meadow Rd. in Hampden. The workshop will include opportunities to deepen our connection with flowers and learn how flower essences can be used to enrich our spiritual journey, and as an aid in bringing understanding to psychological, emotional, and physical challenges. Participants will select specific flowers available on site, learn the process to make a flower essence, including preserving the mother essence, and using that to make a stock strength and finally a dosage strength. This will include ways to store and protect the unique qualities of each essence. According to Tisdale, essences are not about tapping into the plant's chemical properties, but rather are a way of capturing the spiritual energetics of a plant. Flower essences can help support our emotions, our spirits. They can help us overcome our fears, become unstuck, and help us shift our energy into more life-supporting directions." Having established her Alchemilla Herbal business in Dexter in 1995, Linda is deeply committed to educating and empowering others to use plants and foods to promote healthy ways of being. She has made hundreds of flower essences and makes unique combinations for individuals needs. Cost of the workshop is $40. Snacks are provided. Pre-registration is requested since space is limited.

WASHINGTON, D.C. –Today, Congressman Mike Michaud praised the Navy’s decision to name a new joint high speed vessel the USNS Millinocket. The vessel is currently under construction at the Austal shipyard in Mobile, Alabama. “I’m pleased that the Navy chose to name another ship after the town of Millinocket, on the 70th anniversary of the sinking of the USS Millinocket,” said Michaud. “Maine has a long, proud history of shipbuilding that deserves to be recognized and honored by the naming of our Navy’s vessels.” The USS Millinocket, a freighter ship, was torpedoed and sunk in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Cuba on June 17, 1942. Congressman Michaud is also working to have a new destroyer named after Stephen W. Groves, a World War II hero from East Millinocket who was killed in action at the Battle of Midway. The first USS Stephen W. Groves was commissioned in 1982 and decommissioned in February 2012.

PENQUIS - Piscataquis County Soil and Water Conservation District (PCSWCD) along with Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), and Maine Forest Service (MFS) held a Thinning and Woodlot Enhancement workshop Saturday, May 19th. The workshop started with an indoor session at the Greenville High School where Dave Power, District Conservationist for NRCS, spoke about NRCS's Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) which is available to qualified landowners. He explained about various type of thinning that can be done on woodlots of varying sizes and the different types of practices that could be paid for through cost-sharing with an EQIP contract. He explained that some of these practices are implemented to correct problems on the woodlot that may cause erosion which could impair the water quality of nearby lakes and streams, to increase the size and value of a particular species of tree, or enhance wildlife habitat. Gordon Moore, Maine Forest Service District Forester and PCSWCD Board Chairman, talked in detail about the different types of thinning and when and where they would be appropriate. He explained that thinning can be used to take out dead or dying trees and give more room for growth to the remaining healthy trees as well as making a forest more aesthetically pleasing. After the indoor session the group drove to Peter Kliem's Black Forest to view the results of Best Management Practices that were implemented through an EQIP contract with NRCS. Gary Morse, Maine Licensed Forester and Kliem's forester, explained the various practices that were implemented and why they were chosen for different areas of the land. They used thinning, forest trails with water bars to control runoff on the steep trails, and access roads for use by the equipment needed to work on the land. The participants walked the trails while Morse and Kliem pointed out what had been done. Kliem 's long range view for his woodlot is to make it become more diverse in the species of trees that grow there. This was the first of three free forestry workshops. The next workshop is about Maple Sugar Bush Management and will be held Saturday, June 2nd at 9 a.m. at Breakneck Ridge Farm in Blanchard. The third workshop is about Road and Stream Crossings on Saturday, June 23rd at 9 a.m. at the American Legion Post 92 in Brownville Junction. Both workshops will have an indoor and outdoor session. Contact PCSWCD at 207-564-2321 ext. 3 to preregister.
