The one I like best is building—we build a lot of things here. Some such building is actual, not analogous: there’s a fourth year student building a tiny house in the parking lot; another is rebuilding the battery terminals for our electric van; we just built a bed on wheels and placed third in the Bar Harbor Bed Races.

From this it appears that Robert was bom in England, in the County of Norfolk, in the village between Wooqroe and Welch and near Holt, a.bout eiGhteen miles from the oity of Norwich, on October 9 1 1722.

He further stated that his mother had two brothers who settled on the Hudson River.

Previously, Acadia National Park sent most visitor fees to Washington and was reimbursed at about 20%. With fee demo, however, the park has retained about 80% of collections, or $11 million in new money. The revenues have helped offset the general underfunding of Acadia, which operates on 47 percent of what the park needs annually to satisfy management mandates issued by Congress since 1916. In Friends’ view, the fee program must complement, not replace, Congress’s basic obligation to appropriate sufficient operating funds. Maine Senators Snowe and Collins and Representatives Allen and Michaud have helped in that quest. Acadia’s fee demo is making possible myriad projects through 2005 — road, campground and trail rehabs, repairs to historic structures, visitor and ranger facilities, and much more.

Occasionally I re-read to myself forty-two words from the 1916 Act of Congress that created the National Park Service and set its fundamental purpose: “to conserve the scenery and the natural and historic objects and the wild life therein and to provide for the enjoyment of the same in such manner and by such means as will leave them unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations.” To me, those are some of the most inspiring words in American history, right up there with “We hold these truths...” They establish that national parks are for everyone and shall be kept in top condition for all time.

Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning, or PSP, is a very real danger in the state of Maine. Resulting from the consumption of shellfish tainted with toxins found in the algae that cause red tide, PSP has become a growing concern in recent years due to dramatic increases in the extent and frequency of red tide blooms in Maine's coastal waters. While the state has an extensive monitoring program for detecting the presence of the various species of algae responsible for red tide, current testing procedures are costly and time consuming.

    A History of the Bar Harbor (MDI) Rotary club over 40 years Rotary motto “Service Above Self” The Rotary Four-Way Test Of the things we think, say or do: Is it the TRUTH? Is it FAIR to all concerned? Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS? Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned? The Rotary Four-Way Test is one of the most widely printed and quoted business ethics statements in the world. It was adopted by Rotary International in 1943. Rotarians are expected to know the test and to conduct their business and private lives accordingly. Local Club Welcomes District Members About 200 Rotarians are expected to attend the Rotary District 7790 Conference in Bar Harbor May 16-18. The district extends from Lewiston in Maine up to the northern reaches of Quebec and the territory of Nunavut. Rotary thanks the local businesses who are offering discounts to guests attending the conference. Bar Harbor (MDI) Rotary – 40 Years and Growing The mission of the Bar Harbor (MDI) Rotary Club is to bring together a diverse group of business and professional leaders to provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and build goodwill and peace in the community and the world. These ambitious goals reflect the enthusiasm and commitment to service that have sustained the club for 40 years. The MDI Rotary Club had its beginnings in early 1968 when a group of business and professional leaders worked toward founding a local chapter of Rotary International. The first meeting was held on March 20, 1968, with 27 charter members attending.
