National Estuary Program Nomination STATE of MAINE OFFICEOF the GOVERNOR AUGUSTA
PENOBSCOTBAY Maine National Estuary Program Nomination STATE OF MAINE OFFICEOF THE GOVERNOR AUGUSTA. MAINE 04333 ANGUS S. KING, JR. GOVERNOR March 6, 1995 Administrator Carol Browner US. Environmental Protection Agency 401 M. Street, S.W. Washington, D.C. 20460 Dear Ms. Browner: 1 am pleased to submit a State of Maine Conference Agreement that nominates Penobscot Bay for designation in the National Estuary Program. The Agreement describes the Bay's key issues and actions to respond to them, how we will continue to involve the public in developing and implementing solutions to these most pressing issues, and how we propose to finance this estuary project. Our nomination for Penobscot Bay is consistent with EPA's December; 1994 guidance that calls for considerable initiative by a state before requesting designation. Public and private entities have worked cooperatively since 1992 and made remarkable progress. Two major conferences have brought together all levels of government, the nonprofit community, Bay businesses and the public to talk openly about key issues and possible solutions. These and other activities described in the attached document have laid a solid foundation for a successful national estuaq project. I believe our estuary project will be successfully implemented because of the active participation of five state agencies over the past three years. These agencies (the Departments of Environmental Protection, Marine Resources, Inland Fisheries and Wildlife. Economic and Community Developmenf and the State Planning Office) are committed to this project and I am confident that in concert with our nonprofit, municipal and business partners we will m&e important strides to protect and restore Penobscot Bay.

The study was funded jointly by the Maine Departments of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife (IF&W), Marine Resources (DMR), and Environ mental Protection (DEP). The purpose was to develop a basic resource in ventory for use in mitigating the effects of oil spills. Upon completion of that study, Casco Bay became the only section of the Maine Coast, and probably the only substantial section of the entire Atlantic Coast, for which exists a complete, seasonal inventory and cataloging of its wildlife populations and habitats.

"A Law Which Was Meant to Be Broken"
) "A Law Which Was Meant to be Broken" Rum-Running in Islesboro During Prohibition Based on Oral Histories and Stories by Nancy P. Alexander For: Dr. Edward Ives Anthropology 597 Spring, 1998 ) "A Law Which was Meant to be Broken"l Rum-Running in Islesboro During Prohibition by Nancy P. Alexander BACKGROUND AND HISTORY Prohibition in the State of Maine has a particularly long and rich history, owing in great part to the presence of Neal Dow of Portland who led the national campaign for the prohibition of the consumption of alcoholic beverages. As early as 1851,Maine had prohibition laws on the books, known nationally as the Maine l;wz, but enforcemenl was sporadic, localized, and generally rare. My concern here is limited to the time federal laws of hohibition were in place in Maine, 1920 to 1933. The federal laws outlawed the distilling, sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages. Canada was a major source of alcohol in the northeast United States. While the country of Canada had passed strongly enforced Prohibition laws, they had not outlawed the making or distilling of alcoholic beverages-it was just illegal to drink them. It was also illegal to import liquor, but exporting one's product. made in Canada was just fine. Maine's long unprotected border and jagged coast created enormous nrm-running opportunity. There was historical precedent for communications between the people of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and the people of Maine. At the time of the American Revolution, families were separated by both politics and the arbitrary line drawn between the two countries.
