Hello to you listening in Millinocket, Maine!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is 60 Seconds for Motivate Your Monday.In 1955 she sewed a sack out of old denim and stuffed it with “a blanket, a plastic shower sheet, a cup, a canteen and baby bottle for water, a small pot, a spoon, a Swiss Army knife, a first-aid kit, pins, flashlight, a piece of rope, a raincoat, a warm coat, a change of clothes and Keds sneakers.”  She set out from her home in Ohio telling her children she was going for a walk. And walk she did. 2,050 miles. Alone. On the Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine. Her diet for the most part was raisins, nuts, chicken bouillon cubes, berries and leaves she found along the way. Her bed was often a pile of leaves, a picnic table, maybe a stranger's barn or porch. After 5 months in the wilderness Grandma Emma Gatewood reached Mount Katahdin, Maine. She was 67 years old.Not one to retire, Gatewood returned to thru-hike the AT again; she was 69 years old. Several years later she hiked the trail for a third time, in sections. This wasn't the end of her walking; more like the beginning.Question: What wonderful longing beckons you to begin?  60 Seconds is your daily dose of hope, imagination, wisdom, stories, practical tips, and general riffing on this and that. This is the place to thrive together. Come for the stories - stay for the magic.

In this week's episode we are going to talk about the best places to see leaves in Maine ! The fall foliage in Maine is incredible, and we did some research to find the best locations for you to visit this fall. First on our list is Fort Kent, which is one of the most northern towns in Maine. You can enjoy a beautiful drive down east, where you can enjoy a lot of great outdoor activities including fishing, camping, and hiking as well as take in beautiful views of the leaves changing colors. If you are looking for a camping spot or want to take in some shopping, head up to Bar Harbor and visit Acadia National Park, a favorite destination for leaf peepers, Acadia is a must visit! For more information on Acadia check out our video here: https://youtu.be/eqcv67wlFd8 . If you are visiting state parks in Maine we recommend Baxter State Park  in the Millinocket area. Baxter State Park is absolutely beautiful and with Mount Katahdin you can take in incredible views for the surrounding area! Rangeley Lake is a beautiful area with lakes, mountains, skiing, hiking, and great hiking trails. Rangeley Lake has great activities like scenic cruises, Rangeley Lake State Park, Rangeley Lakes National Scenic Byway to see all the autumn colors. Camden is the quintessential Maine town, so why not check out Camden Hills State Park. Not only will you take in the fall foliage, but you will also get to explore the beautiful shops, restaurants, and architecture in Camden. Lastly we recommend the Moosehead Lake Region. Moosehead Lake is the biggest lake in Maine. There are beautiful rivers running through the woods as well as some great little towns to make stops at. Seriously an incredible place to observe all the colors of fall. There are so many places in Maine to see the leaves, even on your own street. So let us know what you think is the best spot to see leaves in the comments below. So come and peep some leaves and remember, if you Make Maine Your Home, you don't have to do it alone! View the blog post on my website... https://www.makemaineyourhome.com/best-places-to-see-leaves-in-maine/To checkout listings all over southern Maine visit: https://www.makemaineyourhome.realestate/Check out our Facebook: www.Facebook.com/MakeMaineYourHomeYou can listen to the audio podcast on any podcast app.  Just search for Make Maine Your Home.

I Want to Believe the Podcast – S4 Halloween Special | The Legend of the Screaming Bridge Music at the top of the episode: “Going Inside” by John Frusciante Welcome to this special Halloween bonus episode of the I Want to Believe podcast, I’m Nomar Slevik. Halloween month is finally upon us… and besides my new book coming out and being able to pet kitties on a daily basis, this is probably my favorite part of 2020 so far. This year has been a bear… but we’re not here for that… this is escapism, and I am fully embracing it. Before we get to info about the episode, I'd like to share that my brand-new book, Granite Skies: A Disconcerted Journey Through the Unknown is NOW AVAILABLE for purchase at The Green Hand Bookshop in Portland, Maine (and online). You can also get it on Amazon, Kindle or a personalized signed copy can be obtained from my online store. Everything can be found at allmylinks.com/slevik. Alright… enough of all that… let’s get into the town of Millinocket, Maine, a young couple, and the Legend of the Screaming Bridge.  It is no secret that Maine is home to scary stories and terrifying tales about creatures in the woods and lights in the sky. But when it comes to ghosts, the stories far outweigh any other type of paranormal phenomena. We have ghosts that occupy old lighthouses, wooded areas, homes too many to count, and of course, haunted roads. In Millinocket, there is a small section of asphalt and bridge located on Route 11 called Brownville Road. Legend says that a fateful night around the 1940s or 50s changed the history of that location forever.  From the newspaper of the University of Maine at Presque Isle, the University Times wrote, “On their way back from their honeymoon, a young couple were driving down Brownville Road in Millinocket, Maine. The couple’s car swerved off the road for unknown reasons and crashed. The husband suggested for his wife to stay in the car while he went to look for help. But upon his return, she was nowhere to be found.” The husband, friends, family and ultimately the police, could not figure out what happened to the young woman. Well… at least, not until she began haunting the road and nearby bridge. To this day, Millinocket locals claim to see her while driving through the Brownville Road.

I commented on their next level set up, and next thing I know I’m exchanging messages with Jesika and we’re grabbing coffee for an early morning pod-chat.

Southern New England states are hungry for renewable energy. There’s energy up north, but there are hurdles to bringing down to southern states. This week, we look at the stalling of wind energy in Maine, and the controversy over a project that would bring hydro-electric power from Quebec to the New England grid. Plus, we have updates to government plans to clean up the Long Island Sound, install high speed rail, and conserve land – or not – in our region. And we learn what makes “New England’s magazine” tick. Buckle up. Opponents to Northern Pass, a project to bring hydro- electric power from rivers in Quebec through New Hampshire to the New England grid, has drawn opposition from Granite Staters who worry that transmission towers would disturb pristine wilderness. Photo by Sam Evans-Brown for NHPR Through the River and Over the Woods Stacey Fitts manages the Bingham Wind Plantation and other assets held by Novatus, a J.P. Morgan affiliate. Photo by Fred Bever for NENC In Maine, wind energy had a decade of rapid growth, but now the industry has hit the doldrums in the Pine Tree State. As Maine Public Radio’s Fred Bever reports, no big new wind projects are likely to go live any time soon. And it could cost billions to unlock enough of the state’s wind resource – the best in the region – to serve southern New England’s thirst for renewable energy. Next door in New Hampshire, Northern Pass is a proposal to run 192 miles of new power lines from Canada, through much of the state. The current proposed Northern Pass route would bury the line in the White Mountains as a concession to opponents. Photo courtesy of Northern Pass The project is a collaboration between the regional utility Eversource, and Hydro-Quebec, which is owned by Quebec’s provincial government. The utilities say the $1.6 billion Northern Pass project would transport 1,090 megawatts of electricity from Quebec – which derives more than 90 percent of its power from hydroelectric dams – to the New England power grid. Since the first route was proposed in 2011, Northern Pass has generated considerable controversy in New Hampshire. Now, the issue is being considered in the state legislature, and hearings are expected to continue throughout the summer.  Our guest Nancy West has been covering the back-and-forth for the New Hampshire Center for Public Interest Journalism. How would Northern Pass fit into New England’s energy grid? And just how “clean” a source is hydro-electric power? For answers we turned to Sam Evans-Brown, host of the New Hampshire Public Radio podcast Outside/In – the show about the natural world and how we use it. Evans-Brown says the impacts of Canadian hydro-electric power on our regions grid could be massive. According to Hydro-Quebec, hydro-electric power for the Northern Pass project would come from  dams along La Grande River in the northwest corner of the map, and on the Romaine river on the east side of the map, including two that are currently under construction. Map courtesy of Hydro-Quebec Federal Projects in New England – Updates Last week we learned about how nitrogen runoff from the Connecticut River is leading to the die-off of fish and plant life in Long Island Sound. But the problem is not a new one. The Environmental Protection Agency started closely monitoring nitrogen levels there back in the 1980s. By 2001, the agency set new nitrogen limitations for wastewater treatment plants on the Sound in New York and Connecticut. Now EPA is expected to set lower limits for wastewater treatment plants miles from the Sound, on the Connecticut River.  As New England Public Radio’s Jill Kaufman reports, those plants are wondering if this is their problem to solve. Watch a video about how nitrogen from upriver affects the Long Island Sound: The nation's busiest rail corridor hugs the shoreline along Long Island Sound. The Amtrak trains that serve the Northeast get people from Boston to New York and beyond. The shoreline communities that the trains pass through, want faster, reliable train service that also stops at their local train stations. But a proposed federal plan for high speed rail  would have trains skipping many towns and cities. Robert Lee owns Lee’s Oriental Market in the Historic Hodges Square Village neighborhood of New London, CT. He worried that a rail bypass would hurt development here. Photo by Ryan Caron King for NENC Two weeks ago on the show, we heard from residents angry about lack of public input in the process, and concerned about potential impacts on historic buildings and farmland. Now in the port city of New London, Cassandra Basler reports that some worry the proposed railroad bypass would decimate their city's budget and hold back it's revitalization. Back in August of 2016 President Obama signed an executive order creating a national monument in Maine's North Woods. As NEXT reported, that signature created the Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument on 87 thousand acres of wilderness east of Baxter State Park. Boaters, in August of 2016, paddle the East Branch of the Penobscot River, which cuts through Katahdin Woods and Waters. Photo by Susan Sharon for Maine Public Now, that monument is one of 27 under review by the Trump administration. Maine Governor Paul LePage says the monument, and its potential to become a national park, pose a real threat to Maine’s forest products industry. Main Public Radio's A. J. Higgins traveled to the nearby town of Millinocket, where he found some monument supporters, including local businesses, who are fighting back. The Department of the Interior is accepting public comments on the review of monuments including Katahdin Woods and Waters, (as well as the Northeast Canyons and Seamounts monument 150 miles off the coast of Cape Cod), through July 10. You can read comments and submit your own at regulations.gov. Your Grandma’s New England Magazine Adapts to Not-Your-Grandma’s New England Yankee Magazine editor Mel Allen. Photo by Jarrod McCabe for Yankee Magazine Google something along the lines of “best clam chowder in Rhode Island” or “best New England beaches” and chances are good you’ll come across newengland.com, the website of Yankee Magazine. (The magazine will be ranking lobster rolls in its next print issue. Of course, John has his own opinions on that topic.) Yankee's tagline is “New England's magazine,” and the periodical turns 82 this year. So what did it mean to be New England’s Magazine in 1935, and what does it mean today? We check in with editor Mel Allen. Once plentiful in New England's rivers, native Atlantic salmon have since all but disappeared. Salmon grow up in freshwater, then go out to the ocean and return inland to spawn. But dams and changing oceanic conditions have destroyed river return rates. To combat that, New England aggressively stocked hatchery-raised salmon in rivers for decades, but low return counts and budget cutbacks eliminated many of those programs. Yearling Atlantic salmon at about the right size for stocking. Salmon live in fresh water for the first one to four years of life. Photo by Peter E. Steenstrta for USFWS In Connecticut a paired-down salmon stocking program remains.
