The corner of a t-shirt shop where a cat sleeps and an oscillating fan blows around warm spring air.  The kind of t-shirts in this shop are what humans buy while on vacation but don't wear while on vacation. You wouldn't wear an Edgartown shirt while in Edgartown, after all. Or a Vermont shirt while in the Green Mountain State. I never see anyone wearing "visit historic Leesburg" while in Leesburg. No, these are shirts to wear to the gym or while mowing the lawn in Oxnard or Saint Ignatius. "Nice shirt, I've been to the Finger Lakes, too!" The cat in the corner cares not, she sleeps.

He shares his classic story about the state trooper who just might have been Krishna in drag as an example of living on more than one level at one time.“When you are able to simultaneously live on those planes of consciousness and handle that tension and that balance, then your every act towards other human beings brings to bear with it equanimity, spaciousness, and joy.” – Ram DassSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

There is change happening all around us. For Ram Dass, what's interesting is where one stands in relation to change.How do we respond in an appropriate way to all the suffering in the world around us? Ram Dass shares classic stories of compassionate action and talks about the constant dialogue between the mind and the heart.Ram Dass explores how moving through different planes of reality can help us recognize the incredible patterns of interdependency in this world. By acknowledging that these other planes exist, we can find a way to be fully in the world and simultaneously not be trapped by it. In this way, we're able to keep our hearts open in hell.“When you experience the plane of reality where everything is interdependent, it includes you, you're part of it all. If you flip the dial and go to another plane of reality, you see that behind all of the forms, which are like cloud patterns, there's only one of it. There's one stuff. There's one stuff that keeps going into these incredible patterns.” – Ram DassSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The entire episode is spoiler free!A little about Running Mates: In the quaint yet politically charged town of Edgartown, North Carolina, two worlds are about to collide. Meet Annabelle Morningstar, an impassioned, quirky high school activist raised by her news anchor and surgeon mothers, both champions of progressive ideals. Across town, there's Gabe Delgado, the quintessential all-American boy, molded by his conservative, Cuban senator father. Edgartown is a town literally divided―the Liberal East and the Conservative North coexisting as neighbors but rarely as friends. But what happens when the two sides meet in the least likely of places: a local bookstore?When employees at Annabelle's favorite literary haven decide to unionize, she finds her path unexpectedly crossing with Gabe's. And then they're tossed together weekly as they get special training help for their beloved cross-country competitions. With their worlds thrown into disarray, the two high schoolers must navigate their complex feelings for each other while wrestling with their polarized upbringings. Can love bloom in the crossfire of political discord?A special thank you to Emily for coming on the podcast today.

Mike Rothmiller - Chappaquiddick The Killing Of Mary Jo KopechneEd is joined by former LA Detective Mike Rothmiller to discuss Ted Kennedy's biggest nightmare; the events surrounding the death of Mary Jo Kopechne.The Chappaquiddick incident occurred on Chappaquiddick Island in Massachusetts some time around midnight between July 18 and 19, 1969, when Senator Edward M. "Ted" Kennedy negligently drove his car off a narrow bridge, causing it to overturn in a tidal pond. This resulted in the drowning death of his 28-year-old passenger Mary Jo Kopechne, who was trapped inside the vehicle.Kennedy left a party on Chappaquiddick at 11:15p.m. Friday. He maintained that his intent was to immediately take Kopechne to a ferry landing and return to Edgartown, but that he accidentally made a wrong turn onto a dirt road leading to a one-lane bridge. After his car skidded off the bridge into Poucha Pond, Kennedy swam free, and maintained that he tried to rescue Kopechne from the submerged car, but that he could not. Kopechne's death could have happened any time between about 11:30p.m. Friday and 1a.m. Saturday, as an off-duty deputy sheriff stated he saw a car matching Kennedy's license plate at 12:40a.m. Kennedy left the scene and did not report the accident to police until after 10a.m. Saturday. Meanwhile, a diver recovered Kopechne's body from Kennedy's car shortly before 9a.m. Saturday.These events curtailed the Kennedy dynasty on a permanent basis; up until then it had seemed the illusion of Camelot was in his hands, but it lay shattered beyond repair.Mike discusses his research into the case, and his conclusions based on his experience as a detective and his investigation and research. And it's even more surprising than it sounds.Mike Rothmiller is a New York Times Bestselling author, historian, a former cop, and an Army medic.

We have been hitting the books and hitting road & rails! Emily had a week-long vacation on Martha's Vineyard and read a ton. She also visited Bunches of Grapes bookstore and FOUR libraries on the island – West Tisbury, Oak Bluffs, Vineyard Haven, and Edgartown. Chris attended a virtual event through the Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library with Raymond Clemens who shared some of the earliest maps in their current exhibition, The World in Maps, 1400-1600. Check out the link in our show notes to watch Ray's presentation. We also had two delicious Biblio Adventures together. The first was a literal Couch Biblio Adventure where we sat on the couch at Book Cougars HQ and ate pizza while watching Malinda Lo's event at Simmons University. Her YA novel LAST NIGHT AT THE TELEGRAPH CLUB was this semester's joint read at Simmons. Days later we were riding the rails to meet Aunt Ellen at Grand Central in Manhattan. After hugs and a pit stop, we took the subway to Brooklyn where we spent the day walking around and experiencing bookish adventures and culinary delights. Stops included: The Center for Fiction, Smith Street Bagels, Books Are Magic, the Brooklyn Public Library at Carroll Gardens, and La Vara, where we were joined by Aunt Ellen's partner Chris. We topped off the day with an author event and saw Maggie O'Farrell talking about her new book, THE MARRIAGE PORTRAIT, at St. Ann & the Holy Trinity Church. It was a perfect day. We even had time to grab some pastries from Magnolia Bakery before boarding the train home. Lots of books, good food, and great company. Phew, this is a long episode blurb and we haven't even mentioned any books yet! We'll list our “Just Read” titles: CANNERY ROW – John Steinbeck THE FALL GIRL – audiobook narrated by Marcia Clark and Cathy LePard SMALL GAME – Blair Braverman SMALL THINGS LIKE THESE – Claire Keegan MAD WOMEN'S BALL – Victoria Mas (translated by Frank Wynne) LIBRARY GIRL: How Nancy Pearl Became America's Most Celebrated Librarian – Karen Henry Clark (illustrated by Sheryl Murray) DARK RIVERS TO CROSS – Lynne Reeves release date 11/8/2022 MISS GRIEF AND OTHER STORIES – Constance Fenimore Woolson (edited by Anne Boyd Rioux) OPEN WATER – Caleb Azumah Nelson LOVECRAFT COUNTRY – Matt Ruff THE SALT PATH – Raynor Winn (audio) THE LUNAR HOUSEWIFE – Caroline Woods If the blurb is long, you know the episode is long, too, but stick around to the end (or fast forward if you're crunched for time) to listen to our conversation with writer, graphic artist, English professor, and athlete KELCEY ERVICK. Her new graphic memoir THE KEEPER: SOCCER, ME, AND THE LAW THAT CHANGED WOMEN'S LIVES is fantastic! We give it four paws up. Check out this wonderful blurb from another graphic memoirist you may have heard of: “The Keeper is a triumph! Kelcey Ervick's rollicking visual storytelling makes this information-packed lesson in women's sports history both hilarious and surprisingly moving. Do not be deceived by her loose, exuberant drawings—the level of writerly control at play in this beautiful book is prodigious.” - Alison Bechdel, author of the New York Times bestselling Fun Home and The Secret to Superhuman Strength One more thing and then we're putting our noses back into our books! Reminder that our current readalong book is MURDER ON THE RED RIVER by Marcie R. Rendon.

After being overwhelmed at the southern US border for over a year, Governors of Texas and Arizona began transporting unauthorized immigrants to Democrat-controlled cities that have declared themselves to be sanctuary cities. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis also sent a plane of 50 migrants to Martha' Vineyard yesterday. These efforts prompted a backlash from Democrat politicians - who say its inhumane and cruel to send people to their states. State Rep. Dylan Fernandes, D-Falmouth, arrived on the Island Wednesday evening and visited the St. Andrews Episcopal Church in Edgartown, where the refugees are lodging, to assess the situation. “It appears that one if not many Republican governors or operatives chartered flights from the south to come and drop undocumented or documented, I'm not sure, immigrants on Martha's Vineyard,” he said. “These governors or whoever it is, all they care about is scoring some political points on Tucker Carlson and Fox News and the fact that they are using human lives — women, children, men — as pawns in that and just really abusing these people dropping them off in a place where they don't know where they are with no food and water just to be able to get in Tucker Carlson and Fox News's good graces is disgusting. It's inhumane. These people claim to be Christians? This is about as unchristian a thing as you could be doing. It's evil.” Of course, sending people to Massachusetts might, in fact, BE evil.      Get exclusive content here!: https://thepetekalinershow.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

(With local potato chips, and maybe a cranberry Cape Codder.) We  go on to Martha's Vineyard -- what to see and do, in and around the cliffs and beaches from  Oak Bluffs to Edgartown. And then, Nantucket -- what to see and do on this extremely charming little island filled with whaling history and cobblestone streets.Lea offers a limerick she adapted about Nantucket.

The Martha's Vineyard ShowMartha's Vineyard has a reputation for being a popular and affluent summer community with fabulous beaches and authentic New England charm. Who is coming to Martha's Vineyard, and why? And how has that changed? As New York area realtors we want to know why Martha's Vineyard is not like other affluent beachy communities like the Hamptons or its island neighbors Nantucket and Block Island.- Martha's Vineyard is 96 square miles, compared to 70 in East Hampton (including east to Montauk). Block Island is only 9.7 square miles (and 40% of that is protected land conservation.) Nantucket island is 47 square miles.- 17,000 people call the Vineyard home, but the populations swells to 200,000 in-season. Compare that to 28,000 in East Hampton, and 14,000 in Nantucket swelling to 50,000.- the median listing on Nantucket is $3.9 million, and so much more affordable on the Vineyard at only $1.9 million in Edgartown and $1.3 million in Vineyard Haven. In East Hampton the median listing is $2.3 million.- in 1974 Steven Spielberg filmed the movie Jaws on Martha's Vineyard and the island now celebrates with an annual "Jawsfest"- there are 19 beaches on the island. What percentage of them are public versus private?​​​​​​​- President Bill Clinton, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton have been coming to Martha's Vineyard since the 1990's.- President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama used to vacation here at Blue Heron Farm and decided to settle here permanently when they purchased 30 acres in 2019.​​​​​​​Who are the people who come for the summer, and what do they find there in summer?How does the community change in the off-season?How has the pandemic changed the community, and what is predicted?Tell us about the luxury and exclusive neighborhoods of Martha's Vineyard, and do they attract anyone besides ex-Presidents?4pm every Thursday.

On this episode, Paige chats with her dear friend, Katie Southworth. Katie is an internationally recognized abstract artist and art educator currently based in Boston, MA. Originally from Darien Connecticut, she graduated from Colby College in Waterville, Maine with Bachelors degrees in Studio Art and Psychology. She went on to receive her Masters in Teaching at the Tufts School of the Museum of Fine Arts in May 2018. In August of 2021, after three years of teaching, she decided to pursue her fine art career full time!Katie discusses her journey from art educator to full time artist and the meaning behind her beautiful, colorful work. Every piece that Katie creates uses color as the language and her over arching goal is to always make a calming visual aid for mindfulness and meditation. Katie expresses how her work is so closely tied to her own trauma of losing her mom in 2015, which induced an extreme sense of clarity of what to express through her paintings. Katie's work focuses solely on color and light as a way from staying away from darkness and depression. Paige and Katie chat about how being open and allowing yourself to say yes to opportunities that you would normally say no to allows new doors to open. They also discuss the challenges, importance, and power of letting go in order to create more time, space, and energy to focus on what truly brings you joy, passion, and peace.Katie has 100 of her original works are in private collections in New York City, Vero Beach, LA, Edgartown, Hermosa Beach, Oakland, Denver, Canada, Slovenia, and more. Katie's work has been featured in international publications including House & Garden UK, Vanity Fair London, and British Vogue. Her first solo show "Colorjoy" at New Canaan Gallery and Frame attracted over 300 people to Opening Night, and 10 pieces sold in total.

Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, is the third-largest island on the East Coast of the United States, with a land area of about 96 square miles. Five lighthouses were established on the island, beginning with Gay Head Light in 1799. The Martha's Vineyard Museum. Photo by Jeremy D'Entremont. The Martha's Vineyard Museum was originally incorporated in the 1920s as the Dukes County Historical Society. In 1932, the Society purchased the Thomas Cooke House in Edgartown to serve as its permanent headquarters. As the collection grew, the museum expanded in the years that followed. A small tower was built on the museum grounds to display the 1854 Fresnel lens from Gay Head Lighthouse. The first-order Fresnel lens from Gay Head Lighthouse in the Martha's Vineyard Museum. Photo by Jeremy D'Entremont. Bonnie Stacy, courtesy of the Martha's Vineyard Museum. Realizing the need for more and better collection storage space, improved access, and additional space for exhibitions and public programming, the Museum purchased the former 1895 Marine Hospital in Vineyard Haven in 2011. The museum opened in its new location in 2019. The museum's “Flashes of Brilliance” exhibit chronicles the history of lighthouses and navigation around the Island. Set in the middle of the exhibit and spanning two floors like a suspended jewel is the magnificent first-order Fresnel Lens from Gay Head Lighthouse. The guest in this episode, Bonnie Stacy, is the chief curator of the Martha's Vineyard Museum. Listen to the podcast with this player:

Mark Hess is the GM at Edgartown Golf Club in Edgartown, MA. Mark has spent decades with the Club and has made the island home for him and his family. Without spoiling too much, Mark and I talked about the interesting dynamic of living on an island in New England year round, and what the 9-hole track he runs means to the local community and the summer crowd. Check out the Club's website for aerial shots of the course and a writeup of its history.

The Beach Boys - TM Song (1976) I am hoping The Beach Boys knew that this song was so terrible that no DJ in his right mind would offer up anything but the "money" song, which, in this case, was a nearly total soul-evisceration of Chuck Berry's wonderful hit. The BB version went to #8, but that was on the heels of their surprisingly popular Endless Summer compilation from the previous year. Even with the little play that starts the song, the whole thing lasted a mercifully short 1:35. I hate BB apologists.  The Beach Boys - Transcendental Meditation (1968) Charles Lloyd and The Beach Boys - TM (Transcendental Meditation) (1972) Backing vocals by Al Jardine, Billy Hinsche (a friend of the band from way back, who was in Dino, Desi, and Billy) Carl Wilson, Michael Love, and Pamela Polland.  Ringo Starr - Back Off Boogaloo (Stop and Smell The Roses Version) (1981) Albert Desalvo - Strangler in the Night (1967) Sleeve reads "...These are my thoughts, feelings and emotions." Albert H. DeSalvo. Astor paid the real serial killer Albert DeSalvo (The Boston Strangler) fifty bucks for the rights to Strangler In The Night which was then ghostwritten and recorded by The Bugs adding the voice of former Boston WEEI reporter Dick Levitan, who actually interviewed DeSalvo a couple of times. Muhammad Ali - Ali's Elusive Dream (1976) If Dan was here, he'd say this was Ali's Rubber Soul.  Wolfman Jack - Free Shots (1975) Cautionary tale about VD. Who was Debbie Sabusawa?  Mike Douglas - Have a Nice Trip (1968) Cautionary tale about drugs.  Reuben Ware - The Fate Of Mary Jo Kopechne (1971) From Wikipedia: On July 18, 1969, Kopechne attended a party on Chappaquiddick Island, off the east coast of Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts. The celebration was in honor of the dedicated work of the Boiler Room Girls and was the fourth such reunion of Robert Kennedy campaign workers. Robert's surviving brother, Senator Ted Kennedy, was there. Kopechne reportedly left the party with Kennedy at 11:15 p.m.; according to his account, he had offered to drive her to catch the last ferry back to Edgartown, where she was staying. She did not tell her close friends at the party that she was leaving, and she left her purse and keys behind. Kennedy drove the 1967 Oldsmobile Delmont 88 off a narrow, unlit bridge, which lacked guardrails and was not on the route to Edgartown. The vehicle landed on its roof in Poucha Pond. Kennedy extricated himself from the vehicle and survived, but neglected to inform authorities until the next day of the accident and his inability to rescue Kopechne. Assistant Medical examiner Donald Mills signed a death certificate listing cause of death as accidental drowning. A private funeral for Kopechne was held at St. Vincent's Roman Catholic Church in Plymouth, Pennsylvania, on July 22, 1969. The service was attended by Kennedy, his wife Joan, his sister-in-law Ethel, and hundreds of onlookers. Kopechne was buried in St. Vincent's Cemetery in Larksville, Pennsylvania, in the parish cemetery on the side of Larksville Mountain. She was among the fifth generation of her family interred in that cemetery. The exact time and cause of Kopechne's death is not positively known, due to conflicting witness testimony at the January 1970 inquest, and lack of an autopsy. Kennedy claimed the accident occurred shortly after he left the party at 11:15 p.m. on July 18. But part-time Deputy Sheriff Christopher "Huck" Look testified that he saw Kennedy's car, with Kopechne and Kennedy in it, around 12:40 a.m. on July 19. John Farrar, the fire rescue captain who retrieved the body on July 19, testified he believed that Kopechne stayed alive for up to half an hour in an air pocket, and ultimately suffocated in the submerged vehicle. A petition to exhume the body for autopsy was denied by a Pennsylvania court.  Kennedy failed to report the incident to the authorities until the car and Kopechne's body were discovered the next morning. Kopechne's parents said that they learned of their daughter's death from Kennedy before he informed authorities of his involvement. They learned Kennedy had been the driver from wire press releases sometime later. Melinda Marx - How I Wish You Came (1965) Melinda Marx was the daughter of Groucho Marx.  Michael Chaplin - Restless (1965) He was the son of Charlie Chaplin.  Nino Tempo and April Stevens - Put It Where You Want It (1973) From Buffalo, NY.

It's not. It sounds like a gap-filler. Johnny doesn't sound his best here singing this Cat Stevens cover with his daughter, who also cannot seem to sing. She was the daughter of June Carter and her second husband (of three), Edwin "Rip" Nix. I tried to find his football card from his time with the Tennessee Vols, but I don't think football cards were a thing? Edwin and June divorced in 1966. In around 1985, Edwin married Ira Pilkinton.  During her first marriage, to singer Carl Smith, she had a daughter, Rebecca Carlene Smith, professionally known as Carlene Carter, a country musician. Her song "Every Little Thing" appeared on my band "East of Idaho"'s setlist during the first year of our existence. She married Nick Lowe, who I've featured on another episode, and appeared in his wonderfully droll video for "Cruel To Be Kind".  Wilt Chamberlain - That's Easy To Say (1960) The Millennium - There Is Nothing More To Say (1968) Genesis - Apocalypse in 9/8 (1972) The Free Design - Friendly Man (1971) You know I love The Free Design more than almost any group I've discovered on my show.

Today’s episode we talk Jeffrey Voorhees, most commonly know for playing the role of Alex Kitner. Jeffrey Voorhees was born on August 22, 1962 in Massachusetts, USA. He is known for his work on Jaws (1975), Santa Barbara (1984) and One More Shot (1996). We talk about working with Director Steven Spielberg and alongside heavyweights like Roy Scheider and Richard Dreyfus. He was born and raised in the area and Voorhees still lives up there and owns a restaurant called The Wharf Pub, located at 3 Main Street in Edgartown, Massachusetts. He shared many memories but one of his favorites was decades after the filming of Jaws (1975), Lee Fierro, who plays Mrs. Kintner, walked into a seafood restaurant and noticed that the menu had an "Alex Kintner Sandwich". She commented that she had played his mother so many years ago. The owner of the restaurant ran out to meet her - none other than Jeffrey Voorhees, who had played her son. They hadn't seen each other since the original movie shoot. Patreon link: https://www.patreon.com/WorldofWalley World of Walley is nothing without YOU the listener and YOUR support.

The Joseph Starbuck, named after the wealthy whaling merchant who built her, was the last one built at the Brant Point shipyard, launched in 1838. She completed one successful voyage to the Pacific and was fitted out for her second in 1842. She was a beautiful and highly valued ship of live oak, and copper fastened. The vessel alone was insured for $24,000.On Sunday, November 27, 1842, the ship left Nantucket with a favorable breeze, in tow of the steamer Telegraph, for Edgartown on Martha’s Vineyard, where she was to load and proceed on a whaling voyage. There were on board, in addition to the full complement of hands belonging to her, a number of ladies, who were intending to accompany their friends and husbands to Edgartown, before taking final leave of them. In total there were 35 souls aboard the ship.Sources:Gardner, Arthur.

In this episode we sit down to chat with Joe and Phoenix Rogers from Edgartown, MA on Martha's Vineyard. On their own they are each accomplished anglers, and hunters, with numerous trophies to their names. But together they bring a special excitement out of each other and I imagine the best out of each other well. As life long islanders, Joe and Phoenix have a vast knowledge of the seasons and the fishery that makes Martha's Vineyard so special too so many. When they are not fishing or hunting or traveling the world to exotic locales they can be found keeping the island alive through Joe's work as a trustee and land steward, and through Phoenix's remarkable jewelry as she pays homage to the Wampum way. We hope you enjoy the show! We sure did! @MVOutdoorsman@Islandgirlphoenix@zukathelabwww.islandphoenix.com

Chris and Cathi are joined by Josh Flanders (General Manager) and Jacobi Reid (Head Brewer) from Bad Martha’s Brewery. Last year they opened a Falmouth location, expanding from their Edgartown location that opened in 2014. A 15-barrel system allows 10 batches of beer to brew consecutively; taking 2-4 weeks to brew a batch. Offering 50-60 different beers per year, they source local ingredients to offer seasonal beers such as a honey house in the spring, Shark Bite (jalapenos and cucumber) in summer, and cranberries in fall. Their beautiful building is a post & beam barn built by Amish crew out of PA and local builder Architecture Innovations.  In addition to great beer, they offer lite snacks, merchandise, music, and fun games. Bad Martha’s also donates to local charities and hosts events.

Gold forms in the heart of dying stars and as a result of their explosions, or novas, it is spread throughout the cosmos as one of the heavier elements. All the gold on earth no doubt came from such an explosion, just as all of the matter for all of the planets and the sun did, too. Maine does, in fact, have some gold in its ground, the first being struck in 1854 in Madrid and later, gold and silver were found in Acton, too. Gold can be found in deposits in the earth, but also dissolved in the waters of Earth's oceans. Since 71 percent of the Earth's surface is covered with water, it might make sense that all one needs to do is find a cheap way to extract that gold from the water to make a fortune.  Maine is ideally situated for mining gold from water, if that was indeed possible, with its 3, 478 miles of coastline. But there is no method or invention to do the hard work of filtering out the gold. However, such a device was invented in 1897 and put into use in the small Maine town of Lubec. Why it worked and then, all of a sudden, didn't work, is part of the strange history of New England. Lubec, Maine is the northeastern-most town in the United States. It is closer to Africa than any other location in the country.  With a population of 1,359 (2010 census), this community is situated on the very edge of things, snug next to Canada and only separated from it by the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Bridge, which spans the Lubec Narrows and leads to Campbello Island. Change comes creeping slowly to this Washington County hamlet, but sometimes, something comes along that summons a whirlwind of alternation in circumstances and acts to bring such small places notoriety and fame. Lubec had its moment in 1897 and became host to Maine's one and only Saltwater Gold Rush. To set the stage, one must remember that in 1897, science was beginning to take the main guiding role in the state of American life.  In May of 1893, the World's Fair, known as the Colombian Exposition, opened in Chicago. Thomas Edison had just invented the first motion pictures and in 1895, the White House Christmas Tree was decorated with Edison's own light bulbs. The world had telephones and electric fans, Kodak cameras and zippers. Even people in far flung places like Lubec knew of such inventions because of the ubiquitous newspapers that gave such places a daily connection with the world at large. Great faith was put in industry and the power that steam, oil and now electricity promised would means that even one such industry for a small town might mean prosperity for all. Lubec was a fishing and lumbering village and people there lived a hard existence.  It was into that setting in October of 1897 that a pair of men from Edgartown, Massachusetts arrived and set a plan into motion that would net them, in today's money, over a million dollars and bring about financial disaster for investors throughout New England. It was a boom followed by the usual bust, but with a bit of wonder, too. Prescott Ford Jernegan, a Baptist minister, and his good friend Charles Fisher, rolled quietly into town one day and took up shop at an old grist mill at Mill Creek in North Lubec. The two had a business plan that, like most, required investors to open their pocketbooks and take a chance on what they assured people was a sure thing. We still have the prospectus for their enterprise, which they dubbed the Electrolytic Marine Salts Company, or EMS. Their claim was something that many people knew to be true - gold was in the water that flowed through Lubec Narrows. However, unlike anyone before them, they claimed to have hit upon a device that could use electricity and chemistry to  grab the microscopic pieces of gold and accumulate it, and best of all, it could happen overnight, while the good people of Lubec  and all of the investors slept. Everyone would go to sleep and then wake up in the morning much, much richer. Why Lubec? Why not Boston or New York? Jernegan answered investors with the fact that Lubec is on Passamaquoddy Bay which experiences some of the highest tides on the planet and as a result, more seawater rushes in and out of the narrows than out of any other harbor in the Northeast.  When asked how a minister and not an inventor had come across the idea involved in the accumulator device, Jernegan claimed divine inspiration.  God wanted him to build this device and share the wealth and sent him the entire idea in a 'vision.' Today, that alone might stop serious inventors from opening their checkbooks, but in 1897, not everyone was so suspicious of claims of divine visions. Such a connection might even serve to make it more of a sure bet for the investor. It didn't hurt their enterprise to be surrounded by folk who had only a rudientary knowledge of electricity and and chemistry. There were fewer people to discover their duplicity. The machine that he 'invented' to siphon gold from seawater is quite simple in its design. Imagine a large cast iron tub with two platinum rods inserted into a proprietary mixture of chemicals at the bottom. A battery supposedly ran the accumulator, along with the addition of some mercury. Other than that, all that was needed to collect the gold from the seawater was seawater itself. Twenty-four hours after lowering the accumulator into the water, it would be raised and little nuggets of gold would be found in the mixture - nuggets, not a film or specs of gold, but nuggets. That should have been the first clue that these two men were not what they purported to be and that this was a dubious device, indeed. Imagine you are an investor. You have made the journey to Lubec, Maine, a rather long distance journey into the wilder regions, just to see if some crackpot invention really works. You are suspicious at first that such a thing is possible. But then you watch as the accumulators are lowered into the channel and at the same time the next day, you watch as they are pulled up and cracked open. There in front you is the proof that it is a sound investment - gold, in all of its glory.  One after another, people with a bit of money to invest, or a lot of money, couldn't give the pair of inventors money fast enough. It was simply too good to be true. Everyone wanted in on it. Hundreds of local people were involved in the new industry - mining gold from seawater. Not that they were easily swayed. There is nothing like a downeast yankee for doubt and discovery, but they had the proof in front of their eyes and if that wasn't enough, the newspapers they all read had articles claiming success in the venture. On January 5, 1898, a year after the EMS Company started business in Lubec, the Portland Transcript ran a story that resonated with the locals and investors. "It is reported that gold and silver were taken from the sea water at North Lubec at the rate of $2 worth per hour, a few days ago, and that the company intends putting in two hundred machines of that capacity." That many accumulators cost money - platinum wasn't cheap. Also, there were operating costs and investors had to be paid. As time passed, more and more money was needed to make the venture work. Over two hundred and fifty boxes at a time were being processed in the waters off Lubec. With the rumor that a new plant with five thousand boxes would soon be added to the company's assets, stocks skyrocketed. In fact, an actual 900,000 shares of the stock were sold by that July. Over 800 men were working for the EMS company. It looked like the little town of Lubec was going to be put on the map as the first place on Earth were gold was successfully and profitably 'mined' from the sea. Chemistry, electricity, and invention were the new paradigm. They had replaced logging, fishing and farming with an exciting new industry. But all good things must come to an end. When Fisher left for a business trip in late July of the next year, no one took much notice, but his absence was soon followed by Jernegan and his entire family. There was neither hide nor hair of the pair of inventors who had promised to make everyone investing in their plans rich beyond the dreams of Midas.  The good people of the EMS company found that the accumulators no longer worked now that their inventors had absconded. The locals who worked for the company were paid their final paycheck but the investors were left holding the bag for all of their hopeful monetary dreams. It was, it seems, too good to be true, after all. So what happened? Why didn't the accumulators work anymore? Probably because they never actually worked in the first place. In later years, the pair of inventors who had successfully evaded justice by never coming back to America from their exile in places like Australia and the islands of the Pacific,  had found themselves feeling somewhat guilty and returned some  of the money, between $75,000 and $85,000, to some of their investors. How did they do it? Fisher was an adept diver, able to don a helmeted, weighted diver's suit and make his way into the water under the cover of darkness to add small nuggets and chunks of gold to the accumulators. Every night, he added the same pieces of gold into the pots that were pulled out the next day. The problem they had was finding enough gold to put into the new additional accumulators. Like so many schemers, they let their initial success drive them forward too quickly to keep up with the demand. When they were beyond the failsafe point, they left. Their criminal act, for which they were never prosecuted, was the ruin of many investors up and down the East Coast.  Fisher may or may not have died in Australia and Jernegan became a teacher in the far-flung Philippines, safe from prosecution. We know truly know what happened to either of them. But in every dark cloud there is a silver lining. The EMS plant, now standing empty, proved to be the ideal place to implement another, new, far more lucrative industry, one that kept the families of Lubec safe from wolves at the door. It was converted for use as a sardine factory, an extremely lucrative venture for the town for a very long time to come.  Gold from seawater? Well, not quite, but the dark schemes of two con artists set up the town of Lubec for another industry that became one of the town's hallmarks. By the way, if you can figure out a way to extract gold from the oceans, there's a lot of it. Current estimates tell us that there are at least 20 million tons of it there, just floating around, not to mention gold beneath the ocean floor. However, be aware that the ocean is so dilute that the concentration of gold in it is measured in parts per trillion, or, more precisely, for every liter of seawater, there is about 13 billionths if a gram of the yellow stuff.  Still, that's enough gold to give every man, woman and child on earth nine pounds of it. Now, wouldn't that be nice? By the way, if you're ever in Lubec, stop by the Historical Society's museum. They have a replica of the ill-famed accumulator set up for your inspection. Too bad it doesn't really work.
