In this article, we explore how 50 Maine municipalities communicated their response to COVID-19 in the earliest stages of the pandemic. Our study answers two questions: (1) What information and resources did Maine municipalities communicate about COVID-19? and (2) What characterizes a more robust communication response? Analyzing digital communications from March through July 2020, we found almost all municipalities in our sample communicated basic information about altered town operations. Some towns provided more robust responses that evolved over time and included nuanced messages about COVID-19, a sense of community, and collaborations with partners. While smaller, more rural municipalities may have fewer residents and resources, many showed a larger-than-expected capacity to pivot quickly and rally together to respond to COVID-19 and communicate about that response.
在本文中,我们探讨了缅因州50个城市如何在大流行的最初阶段传达他们对COVID-19的应对措施。我们的研究回答了两个问题:(1)缅因州市政当局就COVID-19传达了哪些信息和资源?(2)更强有力的沟通反应的特征是什么?通过分析2020年3月至7月的数字通信,我们发现样本中几乎所有城市都传达了有关城镇运营变化的基本信息。一些城镇提供了更有力的回应,随着时间的推移,这些回应包括关于COVID-19的细微信息、社区意识以及与合作伙伴的合作。虽然更小、更农村的城市可能拥有更少的居民和资源,但许多城市表现出了比预期更大的快速应变能力,能够团结一致应对COVID-19,并就应对措施进行沟通。

This paper examines the effects of COVID-19 on tourism in Bar Harbor, Maine. The analysis considers four channels by which the pandemic affected Bar Harbor: (1) reduction in overnight visitors, (2) decrease in Acadia National Park users, (3) cancellation of the 2020 cruise ship season, and (4) a national effect related to trends in overall US restaurant sales. The relative impacts of these four factors on Bar Harbor restaurant sales varied widely by month: the reduction in overnight tourists explains 40 percent of the overall decline; the national effect is associated with 35 percent of Bar Harbor’s decline; the cancellation of all cruise ship visits in 2020 explains 11 percent; and the reduction in the number of Acadia National Park users is responsible for 14 percent of the decline in restaurant sales in 2020. Knowing more about the channels by which COVID-19 affected hospitality sales in Bar Harbor can help state and local officials with recovery efforts and support tourism along the Maine coast.
本文研究了新冠肺炎对缅因州巴尔港旅游业的影响。该分析考虑了疫情影响Bar Harbor的四个渠道:(1)过夜游客减少,(2)阿卡迪亚国家公园用户减少,(3)2020年游轮季节取消,以及(4)与美国餐厅整体销售趋势相关的全国效应。这四个因素对Bar Harbor餐厅销售额的相对影响因月而异:过夜游客的减少解释了整体下降的40%;全国效应与巴尔港35%的衰落有关;2020年取消所有游轮访问占11%;阿卡迪亚国家公园用户数量的减少是2020年餐厅销售额下降14%的原因。更多地了解新冠肺炎影响巴尔港酒店销售的渠道,可以帮助州和地方官员开展恢复工作,并支持缅因州海岸的旅游业。

Socioeconomic pressures require forest management to address the impacts of climate change. However, we must ask, Are current forest policies sufficient to deal with the impacts of climate change? Here, we report on two surveys of forest stakeholders in Maine including woodlot owners and forestry professionals and discuss their perceptions of the barriers to climate change adaptation. We conclude with several policy directions including reevaluating existing policies, expanding incentive-based policies, integrating adaptation efforts into mitigation efforts, and increasing communication and outreach.

This article discusses the issues involved in legislative amendment of citizen initiatives in Maine by explaining the legislature’s authority to amend or repeal citizen initiatives, how and why the Maine Constitution specifically provides for that authority, and how and why that approach is conceptually consistent with numerous other provisions and principles of our Constitution. This article further suggests the types of issues that, regardless of the subject matter in question, the legislature should consider in deter­mining whether, and if so how and when, to change a directly democratic act of the people. Such considerations when earnestly applied can serve to balance the legislature’s representational duty to mind the popular will as well as its leadership responsibility to steward the state with the additional exercise of the legislature’s own lawmaking power.
本文通过解释立法机关修改或废除公民倡议的权力,缅因州宪法如何以及为什么特别规定了这一权力,以及这种方法如何以及为什么在概念上与我们宪法的许多其他条款和原则保持一致,讨论了缅因州公民倡议立法修正案所涉及的问题。这篇文章进一步提出了问题的类型,无论所讨论的主题是什么,立法机关在决定是否,如果是,如何和何时改变人民的直接民主行为时都应该考虑这些问题。这些考虑在认真运用时,可以有助于平衡立法机关的代表义务,铭记民意,以及它的领导责任,管理国家与立法机关自己的立法权的额外行使。

Education and trust building are inextricably intertwined parts of addressing failed efforts of the state of Maine and the Wabanaki tribes to resolve tribal self-governance issues. Lack of structural and financial support for the delivery of Wabanaki Studies Law content directly affects tribal-state relations and Wabanaki self-determination in Maine. This article examines legislative proposals, current laws, and scholarly research and explore how they relate to tribal self-governance. Maine needs strategies for trust building and increased educational experiences for all Maine residents about Wabanaki people and ways of knowing.

History of Deer Herd Reduction for Tick Control on Maine’s Offshore Islands 缅因州近海岛屿为控制蜱虫而减少鹿群的历史

The incidence of Lyme disease in Maine is associated with high abundance of blacklegged (deer) ticks, which in turn has been partly attributed to local overabundance of white-tailed deer. With evidence from Monhegan Island that the complete removal of deer reduced ticks and risk of contracting Lyme disease, nine other offshore communities initiated efforts to cull deer. We reviewed and summarized available histories of deer management on Maine’s offshore islands. Concern about Lyme disease provided the overarching impetus for deer culls. Culls mostly occurred on islands that have no regular firearms hunting season, island communities have been challenged to control deer numbers, and social acceptance of deer culls varied. Integrated tick management (ITM) is the key to controlling ticks, but statewide ITM policy is lacking. Formation of vector control districts with statewide ITM policy would support all communities in Maine. In the Northeast including Maine, blacklegged ticks feed on birds, rodents, and deer (Eisen et al. 2016). Migratory birds disperse tick larvae and nymphs over long distances (e.g., Smith et al. 1996). Locally, white-footed mice (Peromyscus leucopus) and some other rodent species are reservoirs of B. burgdorferi and transmit this pathogen to feeding blacklegged tick larvae and nymphs (e.g., Mather et al. 1989). However, blacklegged tick adults do not feed on mice. Indeed, the white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) is the most important host of adult blacklegged ticks by providing a mating site to adults and providing roughly 90 percent of female blacklegged tick blood meals (Wilson et al. 1990). A blood-fed, female blacklegged tick may lay approximately 2,000 eggs (Mount et al. 1997). Given the importance of white-tailed deer for completion of the blacklegged tick life cycle, and correlations between deer and tick numbers (e.g., Rand et al. 2003), high blacklegged tick density on New England’s offshore islands has been attributed to overabundant white-tailed deer. Accordingly, over the past three decades, New England island communities including several of Maine’s—such as Monhegan and Islesboro—have debated and in some cases implemented the controversial task of reducing their deer herds in an attempt to lower risk of tick bites and tickborne illnesses. Monhegan’s history of deer removal is the best known example of community management of a deer herd on an offshore island in Maine. In the 1990s, concern about Lyme disease led the community to remove all deer, which resulted in a substantial decline in blacklegged tick density (Rand et al. 2004). Other Maine offshore island communities, facing locally burgeoning deer densities, began to cull (reduce) deer. Maine has 15 unbridged, offshore islands with year-round populations (Figure 1). The formation of town tick or deer control committees in some of these communities reflects the broader concept that betterment of public health sometimes hinges on community-initiated polic
莱姆病在缅因州的发病率与大量的黑腿(鹿)蜱有关,这反过来又部分归因于当地过多的白尾鹿。蒙黑根岛的证据表明,完全清除鹿可以减少蜱虫和感染莱姆病的风险,其他九个离岸社区开始努力捕杀鹿。我们回顾和总结了缅因州近海岛屿鹿群管理的历史。对莱姆病的担忧是扑杀鹿的主要动力。扑杀主要发生在没有定期枪支狩猎季节的岛屿上,岛屿社区面临着控制鹿数量的挑战,社会对扑杀鹿的接受程度也各不相同。蜱虫综合管理是控制蜱虫的关键,但目前缺乏全国性的蜱虫综合管理政策。形成具有全州ITM政策的病媒控制区将支持缅因州的所有社区。在包括缅因州在内的东北部,黑腿蜱以鸟类、啮齿动物和鹿为食(Eisen et al. 2016)。候鸟将蜱虫幼虫和若虫远距离传播(例如,Smith et al. 1996)。在当地,白足鼠(Peromyscus leucopus)和一些其他啮齿动物是伯氏疏螺旋体的宿主,并将这种病原体传播给喂养的黑腿蜱幼虫和若虫(例如,Mather et al. 1989)。然而,成年黑脚蜱并不以老鼠为食。事实上,白尾鹿(Odocoileus virginianus)是成年黑脚蜱最重要的宿主,它为成年黑脚蜱提供交配场所,并为大约90%的雌性黑脚蜱提供血食(Wilson et al. 1990)。一只吸血的雌性黑腿蜱可产约2,000个卵(Mount et al. 1997)。考虑到白尾鹿对完成黑脚蜱生命周期的重要性,以及鹿和蜱数量之间的相关性(如Rand等人,2003年),新英格兰近海岛屿上黑脚蜱的高密度可归因于白尾鹿数量过多。因此,在过去的三十年里,新英格兰岛屿社区,包括缅因州的几个岛屿,如蒙黑根岛和伊斯勒斯伯勒岛,一直在争论并在某些情况下实施了一项有争议的任务,即减少鹿群,试图降低蜱虫叮咬和蜱传疾病的风险。Monhegan的鹿移走历史是缅因州一个近海岛屿上鹿群社区管理的最著名的例子。在20世纪90年代,对莱姆病的担忧导致社区清除了所有鹿,这导致黑腿蜱密度大幅下降(Rand et al. 2004)。其他缅因州近海岛屿社区,面对当地迅速增长的鹿密度,开始扑杀(减少)鹿。缅因州有15个无桥的近海岛屿,全年都有人口(图1)。其中一些社区成立了城镇蜱虫或鹿控制委员会,这反映了一个更广泛的概念,即公共卫生的改善有时取决于社区发起的改善环境条件的政策(Deprez和Thomas 2016)。为了抑制黑腿蜱和莱姆病,Telford(2017)建议将白尾鹿的密度降低到每平方英里约8-13只。缅因州内陆渔业和野生动物部2017年大型猎物管理计划(MDIFW 2017)指出,将鹿保持在每平方英里11只或以下可能会降低蜱虫的丰度,从而降低蜱虫传播病原体的风险。我们的目的不是争论莱姆病是否可以通过将鹿的密度降低并保持在每平方英里8-13只来明显减少。相反,我们将总结缅因州近海社区为控制鹿所做的努力,同时也评估岛民的动机。白尾鹿因其观赏、狩猎和对经济的贡献而受到缅因州人的重视,但过多的鹿除了会产生蜱传疾病外,还会产生负面影响,包括车辆碰撞、果园和景观破坏,以及鹿和森林健康状况的下降(例如,Beguin等人,2009;McShea 2012)。随着时间的推移,缅因州近海岛屿上减少鹿数量的努力的历史已经以零敲碎打的方式被记录下来。为了巩固这段历史,我们参考了科学文章、缅因州内陆渔业和野生动物部(MDIFW)的报告、生物学家以及印刷和在线新闻文章。几十年来,缅因州的新闻媒体一直在关注鹿群的管理,记者们向特别许可证猎人、MDIFW生物学家、公共卫生官员和市政人员征求专家意见。我们的目标是:(1)确定扑杀鹿是否会降低并维持每平方英里8-13只鹿的密度;(2)定性评价鹿群减少的动机和方法;(3)在蜱虫综合管理(ITM)、社会接受度和政策空白的大背景下讨论鹿群管理的有效性。 我们希望这篇文章能够为岛屿和大陆社区以及国家机构提供参考。这些实体将通过了解减少鹿群的动机、规模和影响而受益,并可以利用这些知识来启动或扩大ITM政策。在缅因州,白尾鹿的数量从20世纪初的稀少到21世纪初的过剩。由于这种稀缺性,缅因州的八个南部县,包括我们研究中的所有近海岛屿,从1894年到1902年都禁止狩猎(MDIFW 2017)。伊斯伯勒、北黑文和维纳尔黑文在20世纪50年代重新建立了常规的枪支赛季(Moore 2002)。出于安全考虑,其他岛屿维持了狩猎禁令。2000年,《缅因州政策评论》第30卷第1期鹿群减少
