This coming Saturday afternoon, Sept 12th, 2pm I hope you'll join us at the Riverview Public Library for the launch of local author Paul Burns' novel The Druid and the Dragon.

There will be cake! Coffee! Fellowship! And maybe a short speech or two, along with copies of Paul's book.

You are under no obligation to attend, of course. But if you don't, it might make a certain already kind of grouchy dragon a little cranky. Just sayin'!

#MDACF - #InvasiveInsects on the Horizon: #BoxTreeMoth and #SpottedLanternfly

February 25, 2026

"Two invasive insects are spreading in the United States. Neither is known to be established in Maine, although both are closing in around our borders. Please be aware of these insects and report any suspicious sightings to help our efforts to manage them.

Box Tree Moth

If you have #boxwood plantings, keep your eyes out for box tree moth. This invasive pest was first discovered in #NewYork in 2021 and has subsequently spread to at least 10 other states despite state and federal quarantines. It has also been confirmed in #NewBrunswick, Canada near the Maine border.

Boxwoods infested with box tree moth are characterized by leaf defoliation, the presence of silken threads, and girdling of twigs. A heavy infestation will lead to plant mortality.

Although adult moths are strong fliers, box tree moth mostly moves to new areas as eggs and overwintering caterpillars on boxwood plants. These life stages are easy to miss, so it's important to check your boxwoods carefully for signs of this new invasive insect. If you suspect you have box tree moth, immediately contact [email protected].


Spotted Lanternfly

The spotted lanternfly (SLF) is a large planthopper that has been spreading around the eastern half of the United States since 2016, where it is now in 18 states. It is still not known to be established in Maine, although we periodically receive reports of adult lanternflies, generally observed at rest areas and in warehouses.

Originally from Asia, the spotted lanternfly "hitchhiked" to Pennsylvania as egg masses on stone tile imports. When the eggs hatched in the spring, the little planthopper nymphs found their way to some preferred host plants, like tree-of-heaven, maple, and grape. Planthoppers have straw-like mouthparts (stylets) that they insert into plants to suck out the juices. This type of feeding can severely weaken the plant and sometimes spread diseases. The spotted lanternfly sticks its stylet into the stem and bark of plants, extracting the sap and exuding honeydew," a sticky liquid that rains down on surfaces, promoting the growth of sooty mold.

The spotted lanternfly has caused plant mortality in states where its firmly established. Please familiarize yourself with the different life stages of this bug and report any sightings. Please send photos or collect the specimen and email us: [email protected]."

#FirstNations chiefs shouldn’t be duped by the ‘#nuclear-is-green' deception

by William Eric Altvater, February 6, 2025

"Some First Nation Chiefs are victims of shenanigans, not unlike the swindle behind the purchase of Manhattan. The federal government needs the support of #Indigenous peoples to expand nuclear power generation capacity in #Canada.

"For millennia, the cornerstones of the Indigenous people that inhabit Turtle Island, now known as North America, held all that is essential to life, in reverence. Every decision considered the next 7 generations. These cornerstones are crumbling.

"Newcomers, armed with the #Colonizing tool, 'The #DoctrineOfDiscovery' and their mentality of superiority, invaded the land of those they called 'Savages,' almost totally exterminating #Skicinuwok, People of The Earth.

"Determined to bestow Christianity and civility to this wild untamed population, old growth forests were cut, rivers and streams were dammed to power sawmills, roads and railroads were built, bridges erected. All to create an infrastructure for #capitalism, a system to make a #profit, that morphed into #greed, a word of foreign root. This unbridled desire for progress has ruined what was once called Paradise.

"Now most water is not fit to drink, clean air is scarce, #deforestation is rampant, #biodiversity loss out of control, plants genetically modified, food manufactured with unpronounceable chemicals, caged fish starved of oxygen while being fed chicken feathers and pig parts, cancer cases in the millions, the list goes on.

"As the population increased over this continent the available sources for power generation have not been able to satisfy the insatiable desires of the 'bigger, better, faster, more is never enough' mentality. Some have finally acknowledged the fact that #FossilFuels are not the golden egg they were once deemed to be.

"So-called '#GreenEnergy' is required to slow the blind drive to extinction of man; man, who is considered by some to be the most intelligent creature to ever roam Earth. Unfortunately, the lure of riches and the corruption of self-serving purposes have led man to stray from practices that nurture everything required to sustain life on this tiny blue marble floating through the universe.

"#NuclearPower is now being touted as being 'Green.' It is not. Big money corporations are lobbying legislators to convince them and the public that it is. They are also lobbying to convince the public that they should foot the bill in the form of taxes and rate hikes, for a process that pollutes from the day it starts. Water is life. As soon as #uranium is mined from the earth it begins to contaminate the water in surrounding aquifers.

"When the uranium is processed sufficiently, it is used as fuel for reactors where it generates heat while delivering electricity, not just for essential needs, but also for many things once considered luxuries. This fission generated heat is then dumped into nearby waters where it kills thousands, if not millions of small beings that form the basis of life itself.

"After this radioactive fuel is depleted, it is stored in various containers where it will stay radioactive for eons. Indigenous #Grandmothers have labelled it 'Forever Dangerous.'

"The power generated during the fission process benefits only those who exist today as the process occurs, not those born tomorrow or next week or next month. All the #RadioactiveWaste and the inherent danger it creates is left to future generations, kicking the can down the road.

"What better place to dump this waste than in an area with a population that has witnessed Newcomers enrich themselves for hundreds of years? Yes, what better place than a population that has been targeted for assimilation, suffered theft of lands, witnessed the taking of naturally bestowed rights? A population that has been subjected to racial Indian Act legislation essentially stripping away all that sustained this population for thousands of years.

"Yes, let us give the Indians some more shiny beads and trinkets so that they willingly agree to care for our radioactive garbage. How do we do this? Let’s talk to the Chief and Council. Let’s wine and dine them. Let’s give them some money, take them to dinner, buy some drinks and make them feel all festive and most of all make them think we are looking out for their best interests. Some Chiefs have taken the bait.

"Egregious as it may be, this is exactly what is happening in some Indigenous communities contrary to the will of the majority. Elected Chiefs are continuing the deception as they are blinded and professing the 'Nuclear is Green' mantra. They have lost connection with the Spirit of Ancestors and traditional values. They need to have a serious introspection and realize that looking forward, we need only look back at what has sustained us to this point in time. We need not do any more than that."

Eric lives in #PeskotomuhkatiNation territory in Maine and stands shoulder to shoulder with his Peskotomuhkati relations in #NewBrunswick in the struggle to achieve Canadian Government recognition.

Analogs of a bygone era spotted in Oromocto.

#Oromocto #Fredericton #NewBrunswick #YFC #Analog #PayPhone #AnalogPayPhone @2600

My old home in Dorn Ridge, NB is marked in yellow. I lived out in a huge forest in the Appalachians. My home was burnt down by arsonists years ago.

Way out in the hayfields on the top right was where Pablo Escobar's drug cartel would fly over to drop off huge cocaine packages. These were distributed across the eastern seaboard. In the late 80s, I was riding my horse once in a deep valley somewhere on the top left when I saw the drug plane flying in with sputtering engines. Then the engines went quiet and the plane was headed right toward the top of the hill. I didn't know they were cartel people at the time. I was afraid the plane was about to crash, so I galloped up the hill to go find the crash site. Luckily for me, they must've gotten their engines going again. That being said, they eventually did have a crash landing in nearby Burtt's Corner, and that ended up being Canada's largest drug bust.

#nbpoli Opinion:

Should #NewBrunswick Premier #BlaineHiggs call an #election, it's going to be incredibly hard for him not to secure another majority government.

He's riding a massive surplus that he can use to target middle-income swing voters through targeted tax cuts and he can keep the rest of his base in line and away from the harder-right allure of the People's Alliance through his anti-LGBTQ+ fervour.

There's really only two things that could sink him into minority or opposition status:
- He goes a little too heavy into the anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric and scares off enough centrist #ProgressiveConservative voters.
- His opposition (specifically #SusanHolt and #DavidCoon) effectively avoid falling into the trap he has set to try and make the election about the bogus #ParentalRights argument and instead hammer him effectively on other provincial crises, such as health care, housing, etc.

The X-factor could once again be the Green Party, who could see vote bumps in ridings where fringe-PC voters don't feel like voting for another Higgs government but aren't exactly comfortable voting for the Liberals. That said, I'm not sure that vote is efficinent enough in areas to cost the PC candidate their seat.

#WolastoqeyNation in #NewBrunswick represents the #Matawaskiye (#Madawaska ), #Wotstak (#Woodstock ), #Neqotkuk (#Tobique ), #Bilijk (#Kingsclear ), #Sitansisk (#StMarys) & #Welamuktok (#Oromocto ) #FirstNations located along the #StJohnRiver also known as the #Wolastoq .
