A GREAT 2010 LOBSTER BOAT RACING SEASON CONCLUDES Continued from Page 10.


to the line, but all eyes were on STARLIGHT EXPRESS. They wanted to see a new record, but Osgood was not looking to push her hard since he did not want an engine issue and be without the boat for a few days. As he came up the course she looked fast and when the speed was read he had set a new record at 58.9 mph. Second went to MOTIVATION and third was THREE STARS.


The next race of the day was the Johnson Boat Yard Race for any boat built, rebuilt or finished at Johnson Boat Yard. Seven boats were signed up and it was CASCO MISS the easy winner over WILD ONE, followed by Bill Flynn’s NANCY ELLEN [Duffy 35, 420hp Caterpillar].


Now for the last race of the day, Fastest Lobster Boat had four boats on the line and again it was STARLIGHT EXPRESS missing the record he had just set by a mere 2/10ths


of


a mph. Second went to MOTIVATION and WILD ONE was third.


It was now back to the dock and a


barbeque for all the racers sponsored by Portland Yacht Services before the awards were given out. As many of the awards were being handed out, many of the racers stepped up and said to donate their winnings to the MS Society, which was greatly appreciated. While the award’s ceremony was underway the Tug Muster got going and some of the boats headed out to watch this incredible event. There were a couple of races with all the tugs, followed by a pushing contest to see just who had the power. Next year the lobster boat and tugboat races will be to- gether. There was no question that this was a very successful venue and it raised over $10,000 for a great cause. Next year plans are already being made to make Sunday’s events even better and that means if you missed it this year mark your calendars now so you do not miss next year’s.

Accreditation is a rigorous but reward- ing process that examines all aspects of a museum’s operations. To earn accreditation a museum first must conduct a year of self- study, then undergo a site visit by a team of peer reviewers. AAM’s Accreditation Com- mission, an independent and autonomous body of museum professionals, considers the self-study and visiting committee report to determine whether a museum should re- ceive accreditation. While the time to com- plete the process varies by museum, it gener- ally takes as much as three years. “Accreditation is emblematic of an institution’s commitment to public service and to overall excellence,” said Ford W. Bell, AAM president. “Attaining accreditation involves taking a hard look at yourself, allow- ing your peers in the field to do the same, and being judged to be superior in all areas. The people of Searsport and the Penobscot Bay area can take great pride in the fact that their local institution is one of America’s premier museums.”


The American Association of Museums has been bringing museums together since 1906, helping to develop standards and best practices, gathering and sharing knowledge, and providing advocacy on issues of con- cern to the entire museum community. With more than 15,000 individual, 3,000 institu- tional, and 300 corporate members, AAM is dedicated to ensuring that museums remain a vital part of the American landscape, con- necting people with the greatest achieve- ments of the human experience, past, present and future.
