Eugene Shephard, P.E. Principal Project Manager Associate Engineer US District Court – District of Maine Alternatives Evaluation Report Penobscot River Phase III Engineering Study EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In January 2016, the United States District Court for the District of Maine (the Court) selected Amec Foster Wheeler Environment & Infrastructure, Inc. (Amec Foster Wheeler) to conduct the Penobscot River Phase III Engineering Study (Phase III Engineering Study), to identify and evaluate feasible, effective and cost-effective measures to remediate mercury in the Penobscot River Estuary (the Estuary). The geographic area to be addressed within the Phase III Engineering Study is described by the Court as “the region from the site of the former Veazie Dam south to Upper Penobscot Bay, including Mendall Marsh and the Orland River." Beginning in 1967, a chlor-alkali facility located in Orrington, Maine released mercury into the Estuary. Releases of mercury at overall declining concentrations continued throughout facility operation and ceased with facility closure in 2000. In 2002, the Court ordered an independent scientific study, the Penobscot River Mercury Study, to assess the spatial distribution and impact of mercury discharge in the Penobscot River.

  • Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls in Tiohtiá:Ke/Montreal: Towards a Meaningful Collaboration Between the SPVM and Indigenous Communities
    Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls in Tiohtiá:ke/Montreal: Towards a Meaningful Collaboration between the SPVM and Indigenous Communities by Dominique Bernier | Doris Farget | Mirja Trilsch Professors at the Département des sciences juridiques UQAM In collaboration with Quebec Native Women (QNW) Cover image As a visual representation of Looking Out For Each Other, we commissioned Wolastoq artist Susan Sacobie to create a piece of art to represent the project. She says: “This painting is for the missing and murdered Maliseet & Mi’kmaq women that were almost forgotten. The five women in this piece represent knowledge, faith, wisdom, justice and peace. They are wearing our traditional peaked hats decorated with the double curve motifs. The wampum belt on the bottom is our promise to each woman that their lives will be remembered, celebrated, honoured. The wampum belt is also a promise to each Native woman that we have to rebuild our matriarchal standing within each of our families & communities. We must humble ourselves and learn and teach one another about who we are, where we come from and to not be silent and share our individual stories so we can empower our sisters, stay connected and strong and in turn we keep our families and communities strong. Their connecting shields are protecting us and reminding each of us that it is an obligation and a privilege to guard one another because we are all connected. As mothers and daughters, the living as well as the women who crossed the rainbow bridge we have to tell ourselves and each other our lives matter, we are important and we have to love and respect each other unconditionally and stand together.” These words and the voices of Indigenous women will continue to guide the project.

  • August, 2012 ======Loved Learning About the Parasitic Fly That Lays Its Eggs on the Japanese Beetle and Eats Its Guts Out
    ============================================================================================= Vol. 16, No. 3 August, 2012 ============================================================================================= loved learning about the parasitic fly that lays its eggs on the Japanese beetle and eats its guts out. They turned over stumps, boards and rocks, looked under leaves, picked insects off of walls and stayed out of the poison ivy. After showing off their catches - cups were often emptied and refilled - they let everything go, as this was a 'catch and release' day. At the end of the day, the camp director thanked me and said she had overheard the scouts chatting about what they had caught all day long. It was not how I needed to spend a day in the middle of a very busy summer, but I am glad I did it. In a week that was long and stressful, it was good to spend a day seeing that there are still kids out there who get excited about bugs. * * * * * Web Site for Zombie Bees! You may recall the February article in The Maine Entomologist about the native Maine phorid fly, Apocephalus borealis, which has been found to parasitize honeybee colonies in California. Honeybee parasitism by the species has also since been discovered at a site in South Dakota. A new web site has been established to document verifiable Last winter I agreed to head up insect hunts with Cub sightings of parasitized bees, at Scouts at Camp Bomazeen in Belgrade this summer. At the https://www.zombeewatch.org . time my plan was to send our summer interns off to the camp. The type locality for this fly is on Mt.

    In the fair city of Detroit, nestled among the garage- rock nooks and country crannies, lurks the music of Blanche. Husband and wife Dan and Tracee Miller trade intense and haunting vocals over an uneasy sea of pedal steel, banjo, raw guitar sounds, and sparse, driving drumming. The moods created in the songs seem to define Blanche. Some songs are sad and pretty, while others have a powerful, spooky feel. The melodies trick you into singing along with tales of superstitions, garbage picking, fading trust, and feelings of lost hope. The sound combines the intense desperation of the Gun Club, the sincere sadness of the Carter Family, and the creepy playfulness of Lee Hazlewood Intro taken from the biography on the Blanche website which is well worth a visit and a wonderful design. www.blanchemusic.com INTERVIEW BY STEVE RAPID | PHOTOGRAPHY BY RONNIE NORTON Tell us what the secret of Little Amber Bottles is?

  • Travis Walton
    "It was many years ago that I got out of a crew truck in the national forest and ran toward a large glowing object hovering in the darkening Arizona sky. But when I made that fateful choice to leave the truck, I was leaving behind more than just my six fellow workmen. I was leaving behind forever all semblance of a normal life, running headlong toward an experience so overwhelmingly mind-rending in its effects, so devastating in its aftermath, that my life would never—could never—be the same again. ” —Travis Walton On November 5, 1975 a group of loggers in the mountains of northeastern Arizona observed a strange, unusually bright light in the sky. One of those men, Travis Walton, recklessly left the safety of their truck to take a closer look. Suddenly, as he walked toward the light, Walton was blasted back by a bolt of mysterious energy. His companions fled in fear. When they reported an encounter with a UFO—something they would have considered impossible if they had not witnessed it themselves—the men were suspected of murder. For five days authorities mounted a massive manhunt in search of Walton—or his body. Then Walton reappeared, disoriented and initially unable to tell the whole story of his terrifying encounter. 2 3 Published by Marlowe & Company 632 Broadway, Seventh Floor New York, New York 10012 “Sons and Daughters” Art Neville/Arthel Neville/Ian Neville/Lorraine Neville/Ron Cuccia/Malcolm Burn © 1990 Neville Music & Arthelian Music (BMI) & Neeha Music & Chief Jolly Music (ASCAP) All rights administered by Irving Music, Inc.
