WELLS Wells Elementary School student Madison Webb received first place locally and at state level competition in the second grade category of the Smokey Bear & Woodsy Owl Poster Contest for 2016. And, in June, it was announced at a convention of the Garden Club Federation of Maine in Bar Harbor that Webb’s artwork also finished second at the New England regional level. Shortly before school break for summer, Webb’s art teacher, Sandy Brennan, presented certificates to Webb at WES for her high achievements on behalf of the Seacoast Garden Club, sponsor of the contest locally.
Delta Fuller of Kennebunk is a member of that club. “Sandy has contributed many winners in this contest and we appreciate her enthusiasm,� commented Fuller of Brennan. “Her students do wonderful work and we always enjoy receiving their entries.� In 2014, one of Brennan’s art students, Logan Blanchard received first place in the State and regional portions of the Smokey Bear & Woodsy Owl Poster Contest. The Smokey Bear & Woodsy Owl Poster Contest began in 1961. It is open to all first through fifth grade students. This contest is sponsored by the United States Department
of Agriculture (USDA), the U.S. Forest Service and National Garden Clubs, Inc. The contest seeks to encourage children and adults to be involved with natural resource conservation and wildfire prevention. Familiar to generations around the world, the shovelcarrying and folksy Smokey the Bear first appeared to the public in 1944. His 1947 message of “Only You Can Prevent Forest Fires� was updated in 2001 with the sentence ending in “Wildfires�. In 1970, the year of the first Earth Day, Woodsy Owl� appeared with the conservationist message of “Lend a Hand – Care for the Land.�

Hot Weather, Low Water Levels Can Impact Trout and Landlocked Salmon STATEWIDE With much of Maine suffering from below average rainfall and varying degrees of droughtlike conditions, the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife reminds (IFW) anglers to be prudent when fishing for cold-water fish species such as trout and landlocked salmon. “Maine is known for our coldwater species like brook trout and landlocked salmon,� said IFW’s director of Fisheries Francis Brautigam, “Yet during a summer like this, our waters can get unusually warm and it can impact fish such as
trout and salmon.� In order to beat the heat in streams and rivers, brook trout seek deeper pools that are cooler and better oxygenated. Small, colder tributaries are also locations where these fish will seek thermal refuge. In ponds, they will seek spring holes. When fish are in these situations, they become more
susceptible to predators. Trout and salmon that reside in our deeper, colder lakes are also impacted by this summer’s weather. The lack of rain has surface water temperatures warmer than usual, with some lake surfaces topping the 80 degree mark. Trout and salmon will stay below the thermocline, where temperatures can be in
the 45-55 degree range. “A fish that is caught below 40 feet of water may experience a temperature difference of close to 35 degrees,� said Brautigam, “This type of temperature swing can put added stress on a fish.� In extreme cases in some shallower and smaller ponds, dry See FISH page 4...
