  • 2/17/11 -- HARPSWELL, Maine. Michael Bernier of Harpswell takes a short break from digging clams in Quahog Bay on Thursday afternoon. He and a small group of diggers cut through the ice at low water with chain saws to dig here. <br />
Quahog Bay was reopened for digging on Feb 11, 2011 after many years of closure, according to Department of Marine Resources Biotoxin Monitoring Manager, Darcie Couture. She wrote, "This area had been closed for many years due to failing water quality, caused by bacterial pollution. A serious pollution source was recently identified and remediated.  The area will close in June for the summer, because unfortunately, this area, like many others on the Maine coast, suffer from the increased pressure of a seasonal summer population, which negatively impacts water quality, and results in many of our shellfish resources remaining closed to harvest during that time."

  • 11/9/10 -- WEST BATH, Maine. Asplundh Tree Crew Foreman Mike Lord cuts off a section of tree trunk which was hanging over the top of a power line on Tuesday afternoon on Butler Head in West Bath.  Tree and electrical crews from as far away as New York State spread across the Mid-Coast Region on Monday and Tuesday, cleaning up storm damage. Power was restored to nearly all customers by the end of the day, Tuesday.  Lord said, "Our whole goal is to get these trees down without damage to the wires -- or the homeowners property." A fellow Asplundh foreman, Mike Morris said, "There were over 100 broken poles in this area -- that's what takes a long time [to repair]."   Roger S. Duncan / For The Forecaster.
