MOUNT DESERT ISLAND:
MAINE'S DESTINATION
MARATHON, HALF & RELAY
The Mount Desert Island Marathon, Half & Relay is North America’s premier destination road race. The award-winning course features miles of pristine terrain passing tranquil lakes, soaring mountains, sleepy Maine villages, and stunning seaside vistas —including Somes Sound, the only fjord on the Eastern Seaboard— all set against the awe-inspiring backdrop of Acadia National Park in peak fall foliage season. The Marathon and Team Relay start in the world-famous Bar Harbor, while the Half-Marathon starts in picturesque village of Northeast Harbor. All three races finish on the quietside of MDI in the hardworking lobster fishing community of Southwest Harbor.
Held annually the weekend following Indigenous Peoples’ Day, this fall classic has earned national and international accolades. Once you #RunMDI, you’ll see why!
Proudly hosted by Crow Athletics.

But even if it isn’t, you can become a call member
Becoming a call force firefighter requires extensive training, hard work, and dedication to the community. We rely on call force firefighters to respond quickly to emergencies, to perform firefighting duties, and to provide assistance and support to career firefighters. To be a fall force firefighter is to have a chance to aid and serve the community, which is an extremely rewarding experience.

Please join us at the Jesup Memorial Library for a program with Write On! - Authors Share Their Works on Thursday, September 28th at 7 pm.
Jesup Memorial Library's Write On! group has been meeting, in person and remotely, on Saturday mornings since 2014. Attendees share group leadership, bringing manuscripts of fiction, memoir, poetry, and just about anything else for individualized feedback, and in turn offering feedback for others. Join them to hear more about their work and find out how to become a member.
Read on to find out more about the writers!
Carol Woolman published her first story about a rafting trip in the Arctic that changed her life. In 2013 she self-published a book for the Library of Congress Veterans History Project about her father that is both a family history and a WWII memoir. Her current work, Ecology of Grief, A Mother’s Witness, is about living through the violent death of her 25-year-old son Mark Horner. It includes the penetrating and numbing sorrow but also adventure, surprise, mystery and meaning. She feels a sense of urgency to find a publisher for this book.
Steven Roiphe holds a nonrefundable degree from Harvard. His prose has appeared in a number of literary magazines, garnering a Pushcart Prize nomination. He lives with his wife and young son in Lamoine, where he has recently finished writing a novel that follows a rogue deity’s quest to spark justice down through American history; now he’s searching for a book agent to help take his work to the next level. You can follow Steve on Twitter, @StevenRoiphe.
Jackie Campbell wrote her first short story in the 3rd grade and has been writing ever since. She has published some of her work but believes her biggest accomplishment has been balancing work with motherhood while also caring for her parents and a spouse. Jackie currently lives in the Minneapolis area and is hoping to get back to Maine soon. In the meantime, she is focusing on writing a young adult novel about a teen with a father who has dementia.
Before children, Joan FitzGerald was an award-winning financial news reporter. Since children, she has written short stories and essays, and a middle grade, environmental fantasy. She is currently at work on an adult dystopian novel. Joan lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts and has been a summer resident of Mt. Desert Island since birth. The Jesup Writers group has been an essential support for her work. She writes all year ’round but writes best here, on this island in Maine.
Andrew McQuinn got his degree in video production from the New England School of Communications. After graduating he spent six years in Las Vegas, working as a stagehand. He now resides in Bangor where he works as an Ed Tech at a preschool for special needs kids. When he’s not writing, Andrew is spending time with his feline fur baby Marty, Sir Martin if he’s feeling extra dignified. Andrew has several novels in the works he hopes to get published over the next year or two. Playing it out Straight is his debut novel.
Tom Bertrand will also be sharing his writing.
This event is a hybrid program and registration is required to attend either in person or on Zoom. Register at jesuplibrary.org/events/writeon or email eventsignup@jesuplibrary.org.
HOLLIE ADAMS, POET IN RESIDENCE AT ANP TO SPEAK AT JESUP
Please join us at the Jesup Memorial Library for a poetry reading with Hollie Adams, a Writer-In-Residence at Acadia National Park, on Thursday, October 19 at 7 p.m.
Adams is returning to the Jesup after leading a poetry workshop at the Jesup in September and will read from her current manuscript in-progress, a collection of poems about how we conceptualize space/place in the Anthropocene. These poems- many of which are about the place of Maine- engage with the effects of climate change and the symptoms of a world on fire. In a geological age in which human activity exerts the greatest influence on the land and our natural environment, how has the space of Maine changed? How has climate change affected our physical and mental relationship to the place we call home? What does the future look like for the land? A Q&A session will follow the reading.
Hollie Adams (she/her), of Bangor, ME, is the author of the novel Things You've Inherited from Your Mother (NeWest Press, 2015) and the hybrid prose-poetry chapbook Deliver Me from Swedish Furniture (Zed Press, 2018), which was a finalist for the BpNichol Chapbook Award. She is the current fiction editor of The Windsor Review, and her prose and poetry have appeared across Canada in publications including The Malahat Review, The Temz Review, Contemporary Verse 2, Room, Carousel, Prairie Fire, The Antigonish Review, and Grain. Her writing, often surrealist, dystopian, and fabulist in content, engages regularly with issues of climate change and environment, home and place, and gender and relationships. Originally from Windsor, Ontario, she now lives and works in the homeland of the Penobscot Nation, where she is an Assistant Professor of English at the University of Maine.
This event is a hybrid program and registration is required to attend either in person or on Zoom. Register at jesuplibrary.org/events/reading or email eventsignup@jesuplibrary.org.

HEALTHY ACADIA
Healthy Acadia to Screen Its Documentary Film on October 12 in Machias
Healthy Acadia invites community members to join them for a special viewing of “Together: Community Health Champions” on Thursday, October 12, 2023, at 5 p.m. at the University of Maine at Machias (UMM) located at 116 Obrien Ave, Machias. The film screening will be held in the Science 102 in the Science Building.
In 2021, as part of Healthy Acadia's 20th-year anniversary celebration, the organization embarked on its first-ever, in-house documentary film production which premiered in November 2022, with both an in-person event and a virtual showing. The 33-minute film, “Together: Community Health Champions,” shines a light on six incredible individuals selected through a Washington and Hancock County-wide nomination process as Community Health Champions. These inspirational community members go above and beyond to increase the well-being of our communities, each in their own unique way. Their stories inspire and affirm that we all can and do meaningfully contribute every day to building healthy, resilient communities - and that we do our best work in partnership, together.
The organization recently learned that their film was selected for screening at the American Public Health Association’s (APHA) Public Health Film Festival in November. The film festival is a unique component of American Public Health Association's Annual Meeting that offers a versatile way to learn and creatively spark the conversation about health. The film festival screens public health films of all types and topics from around the globe - including theme-related pieces and those that explore and highlight public health locally, nationally and globally and demonstrate, educate, inspire and encourage a change for a healthier future. You must be registered for APHA 2023 to watch films and participate in any film festival sessions and events.
Deaf and hard-of-hearing and Spanish language translations are available for the screening events. The events are free and open to all. To register for the event please visit: https://bit.ly/HealthChampionsFilmUMM. An RSVP is not required, but strongly encouraged. For more information find Healthy Acadia on Facebook or visit their website at www.healthyacadia.org.
Healthy Acadia is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that engages in a broad range of initiatives to build healthier communities and make it easier for people to lead healthy lives across Washington and Hancock counties, Maine. Learn more at www.healthyacadia.org.

Please join us at the Jesup Memorial Library for a live performance by the Arcanauts Jazz Trio on Thursday, October 12th at 6:30 pm.
The Arcanauts is an original jazz band, drawing heavily from jazz and other African diaspora musical styles from the early 60’s – early 80’s. The band was founded by composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist David Andrew Moore who studied at the Berklee School of Music. Moore will be joined by Joe Albano on woodwinds and Greg Toro on bass.
The members of The Arcanauts Trio have been performing together in various formats for over 20 years. The band has recorded two EPs exploring a range of styles and instrumentation, but in recent years has focused on exploring the traditions and possibilities of the saxophones/ bass/ drums format. The band's repertoire draws from the American songbook, great jazz composers of the twentieth century, and original compositions inspired by the global African diaspora. Their second EP "The Hermit" was featured in DigBoston's Some Seriously Great Tracks from the Past Year in 2021.
Join us for this unique and engaging musical experience!

TOWN GOVERNMENT MEETINGS
SOUTHWEST HARBOR
Regular Meeting Schedule (meetings held at the Town Office unless otherwise noted). Calendar is here.
TREMONT:
BAR HARBOR:
According to the town’s website, “Meetings that are broadcast live can be viewed at home by watching Cable Access Channel 7 or 1303 (Spectrum Cable only) and online at Town Hall Streams.”
“Things We Do in Bar Harbor” and “On the Agenda” is mostly curated by me looking for things happening in the upcoming week, which takes a lot of time and I truly do not know all that is going on.
If there’s something in Bar Harbor (or MDI) that you’d like me to mention, please let me know, because I’m definitely always missing some events every week.
