Die faszinierende Pracht der freien Natur in Maine ist inspirierend und treibt uns an, das Leben jeden Tag in vollen Zügen zu genießen. Wachen Sie an der Küste auf, erklimmen Sie am Nachmittag einen Berg, und lassen Sie den Tag in einer Hütte tief versteckt im Wald ausklingen. Bei einer Landschaft, die so vielfältig wie hier ist, kommt keine Langeweile auf, und grenzenlose Möglichkeiten sind die Norm. FAKTEN AUF EINEN BLICK Maine ist der erste US-Bundesstaat, der jeden Morgen den Sonnenaufgang erlebt. Kein Wunder, dass sich bei uns alles um die freie Natur dreht. Maine hat ca. 5600 km Küstenlinie. Das entspricht der gesamten Strecke quer durch die USA und die Hälfte des Weges zurück. Der Elch ist das Tier des Bundesstaates Maine. Tatsächlich haben wir mehr Elche pro Quadratkilometer als jeder andere Staat. Sie fi schen und angeln gern? Sie fahren gern Kanu? Maine verfügt über ca. 51.500 km Flüsse und Ströme sowie mehr als 6000 Seen. Der Acadia National Park vermeldet die zweithöchsten Besucherzahlen aller Nationalparks in den USA. Ihre Chancen, einen Campingplatz zu fi nden, stehen ziemlich gut: State- und Nationalparks erstrecken sich hier über eine Fläche von 2196 Quadratkilometern. Geografi sch ist Maine größer als die anderen fünf New England-Bundesstaaten zusammen. Mehr als 3000 Inseln liegen vor der Küste von Maine. Anders ausgedrückt, wenn Sie abschalten wollen, gibt es hier viele Möglichkeiten. 6 62991_Maine_International GERMAN_rev.indd 8-9 5/5/14 9:43 AM 62991_Maine_International GERMAN_rev.indd 10-11 5/5/14 9:43 AM 62991_Maine_International German_P6_4C_3.75”x9” 62991_Maine_International German_P7_4C_3.75”x9” 62991_Maine_International German_P8_4C_3.75”x9” 62991_Maine_International German_P9_4C_3.75”x9” KULINARISCHES VIELE UNSERER NAHRUNGSMITTEL STAMMEN von EINHEIMISCHEN FARMEN. Maine bietet eine ganze Reihe eigener kulinarischer Spezialitäten. Wenn Sie die harte rote Schale eines gerade gefangenen und frisch gekochten Maine- Hummers knacken, schmecken Sie unser Erbe, unsere Kultur und eine tragende Säule unserer hart arbeitenden Wirtschaft. Wenn Sie eine reife Maine-Blaubeere pflücken und in Ihren Mund stecken, schmecken Sie die Süße des Sommers. Der Geschmack des frischen Maine-Ahornsirups ist wie ein süßer Triumph. Das vielseitige kulinarische Angebot in Maine ist eines der am besten gehüteten Geheimnisse des Nordostens. Hier kombinieren innovative Köche Produkte aus der Landwirtschaft und dem Meer und erzeugen so kulinarische Erlebnisse, die Sie nie wieder vergessen werden. Essen Sie zu Mittag von Papptellern an einem Hummerstand an der Ozeanküste und lassen Sie sich das beste Hummerbrötchen schmecken, das Sie jemals gegessen haben, gefolgt von einem klassischen Maine-Whoopie- Pie als Dessert. Reservieren Sie einen Tisch für den Abend in einem unserer tollen Restaurants und erfreuen Sie sich an den einfallsreichen Aromen und der beispiellosen Frische. Wenn Sie Maine wirklich erleben wollen, müssen Sie es schmecken. FAKTEN AUF EINEN BLICK Maine erzeugt 99 % aller wilden Blaubeeren im Land und ist damit der größte einzelne Blaubeerenproduzent in den Vereinigten Staaten. Ungefähr 40 Millionen Pfund Hummer (das sind fast 90 % des Hummerangebots in den USA) werden vor der Küste von Maine gefangen. 10 62991_Maine_International GERMAN_rev.indd 12-13 5/5/14 9:43 AM 62991_Maine_International GERMAN_rev.indd 14-15 5/5/14 9:44 AM 62991_Maine_International German_P10_4C_3.75”x9” 62991_Maine_International German_P11_4C_3.75”x9” 62991_Maine_International German_P12_4C_3.75”x9” 62991_Maine_International German_P13_4C_3.75”x9” KUNST & KULTUR DAS KUNST- und KULTURANGEBOT LÄSST SIE ihre EIGENE KREATIVITÄT ENTDECKEN.

Their son Steve Peterson If a boat could talk, there is one in town recalled many fun trips. “There were a lot with some stories to tell. Only nine feet long and fi ve feet wide, the Sea Star is a Turn- about sail boat built by Harold Turner of Gloucester, Mass. The original owners of the Sea Star were Hollywood movie stars Bette Davis and Gary Merrill, who bought the boat for their children and raised their family in Cape Elizabeth for close to a de- cade. The Turnabout boat became popular in the 50s as a junior training boat and many of them were built from kits by “do it yourself- ers” in garages or cellars. This class of sail- boats can be mainly found in the Northeast. Courtesy Cape Elizabeth Historical Preservation Society In 1972, the Turnabout’s name was changed Hollywood stars Bette Davis and Gary to the “National 10” or N10 class. A new Merrill, who lived in Cape Elizabeth for mold was also designed at this time, with nearly a decade changes being made to resemble the original wooden design.

The United Way of the Tri-Valley continues to serve as a vital safety net for Franklin County residents. The 2-1-1 project is an indispensable service. This is a 24/7 service, staffed by call specialists who take calls from people seeking help of many kinds: food, clothing, shelter, heat; access to mental health services, help with caring for a sick or incapacitated family member, financial burdens of many kinds. United Ways throughout Maine fund this service, in cooperation with the State of Maine. There is always someone to take the call, always available to help guide the calling person to someone who may speak to the very specific need expressed. 2-1-1 was available prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, and widely used by thousands of callers each year. I am informed by United Way leadership that in 2020, Maine 2-1- 1 has received 36,000 pandemic related calls since the month of March. That amounts to 6000 calls per month for six months, an average of 200 calls per day. That is an astonishing figure. It costs money to provide the service.
