The National Park Service names the Albany’s Pine Bush a national landmark

July 22, 2014 By Cristopher Hall Leave a Comment

The Albany Pine Bush has been designated as a national natural landmark because of being an outstanding example of a globally rare ecosystem by the National Park Service. The region along the Thruway west of Albany joins 596 other sites across the country recognized as landmarks and is home to pitch pines and scrub oaks.

It is perhaps not surprising then, that such regions are great examples of unique and fascinating biological and geological phenomenon. Most interestingly, the Pine Bush provides support to more than 1300 species of plants, 156 species of birds, more than 30 species of mammals and 20 species of amphibians and reptiles. It is thus one of the world’s best examples of inland pine barren ecosystems. It also harbors the beautiful but sadly endangered Karner blue butterfly.

Androscoggin County Law Library may be shut down because lawyers prefer to do their research online

July 19, 2014 By Kenneth Scott Leave a Comment

The Androscoggin County Law Library in Auburn may soon be shut down. It doesn’t take a genius to guess the answer. Its the same reason why other libraries in so many other states are being shut down. The answer is the digital age.
Maine Court Administrator James Glessner explains that all 16 counties in the state used to have very active legal libraries, however now its just too expensive to update the libraries and most lawyers prefer to do their research work online.
In fact, John Clifford a lawyer and president of the county bar association points out that he has never used the library and doesn’t know of anyone who has. He declares that the books at the library are outdated and most of them haven’t been opened in decades!
Apart from that, Androscoggin County Courthouse has to deal with a growing caseload and requires the space for that purpose.
