New York on February 25, 1946, to Charles Jr. and Joan Orne. The family then moved to Bellmore, New York, where Dick spent his childhood.


He graduated from Wellington C. Me- pham High School in 1964 then went on to attend the Academy of Aeronautics to learn aircraft mechanics. This was around the time where American forces were ramping up their presence in Vietnam.


Dick made the decision to follow in


his father’s footsteps and joined the United States Air Force in 1965. After fi nishing his basic training in Amarillo, Texas, he found himself assigned to the 7th Maintenance Squadron stationed at Carswell Air Force Base in Fort Worth, Texas. It wasn’t long before Dick joined the 7th Bomb Wing forward deployed at U-Tapao Air Base in Thailand.


Although 10,000 miles from home, Dick maintained steadfast focus, rose through the ranks to staff sergeant, and became crew chief of his very own B-52. Following several years overseas and count- less successful missions over the hazardous skies of Vietnam, Dick returned home to his family.


Richard T. Orne Richard Tirrell Orne, of West Boothbay


Harbor, died peacefully in his home in the early afternoon of February 16, 2015. Dick, as he was known to his friends and family, was born in Oceanside Long Island,


It was March 1970 when Dick decided to transition from the military to the civilian sector. He continued to utilize his technical prowess and became a mechanic for Delta Air Lines in Long Island, New York. Un- fortunately, his career with Delta was short- lived only due to an unforeseen reduction in force. Not to be discouraged, Dick seized the opportunity to move his family to Boothbay Harbor, the town where his father was born and raised, and part of the coast he fell in love with the fi rst time he laid eyes on it. For over 40 years Dick worked in the maritime industry. From an outboard mechanic at Pierce Marine (now Carousel Marina) to president of Boothbay Region Boatyard, he had a very successful and re- warding career. One would think that with decades of being around boats and on the


water that the maritime world would be near and dear to his heart; however, those who knew Dick, knew very well that his passion was deep rooted in aviation. A quick glance around his house and one would see every aviation magazine that’s in print today — some issues years old simply because the cover photo was too good to throw away. Those who were staying in Boothbay from mid-spring to late-fall might have had the privilege of having their roof rattled as Dick practiced touch-and-go’s on West Harbor Pond in his Cessna 208 Caravan.


The cockpit was where Dick was in his element. He loved to fl y. When around air- planes, or walking around a general aviation airport, or simply talking about fl ying, one would instantly see the joy on his face and the bliss in his eyes.


There will be much to miss about Dick: his smile; his fantastic laugh; his kind heart; and his unbound love and affection for fam- ily.


Dick is survived by his girlfriend, Andrea Holland; brothers, Charles Orne III and his wife Julie, David Orne and his wife Debbie, Victor Orne and Fred Orne; sister, Annette Orne; sons, David Orne and his wife Amy, Richard Orne and his wife Leslie; grandson Christopher; and three grand- daughters, Samantha, Lillian and Madeline. Friends and relatives were invited to visit with the family on February 27 at Hall Funeral Home, Boothbay. A church service was held on February 28, at the Congrega- tional Church, celebrated by Rev. Dr. Sarah Foulger.


If you asked Richard Alley how long he has been building boats he would reply, “I’ve been building boats forever.” That was his answer in 1984 when Brenda Dodge last in- terviewed him for an article on boatbuilding, and that was still his answer in 1994 when she interviewed him again. Even though problems with his health have kept him out of his boat shop for the past three years, Alley spends hours on the construction of wooden and fi berglass boat models in the living room of his home.


“Even back when I was a kid my mother knew I would be a boatbuilder because I turned every piece of wood I picked up into a boat,” Alley said with a smile. Alley’s keen interest in boats led him to the area boat shops to observe the construction of wooden boats. “I probably spent more time in Lovie (Mariner) Beal’s shop than anywhere else,” he said.


When he was 14 Alley built a 7½ foot speed boat out of plywood for himself. It was powered by 5-hp. Elto outboard motor and Alley used it to get to various places around the island to go clamming. “I started a 16- foot outboard for myself two years later,” he said, “I made the keel, stern and a few other parts in my mother’s kitchen.” The boat was then put together outside. Alley began working as a fi sherman. He went herring seining, dug a few clams and helped his father, Joseph, and another fellow in a weir for a while. His main work was digging clams. Alley said, “I used to love to dig clams. Now there are none to dig so you have to do something else.” Alley spent time in the Army during 1953-55. Fortunately, he did not make the Korean confl ict, which ended before he got done with basic training.

BEALS - Richard C. Alley died peacefully with his family by his side on February 17, 2015. Richard was born June 11, 1933, on Beals. He was the son of Joseph Shirley Alley and Eulala (Alley) Alley.

By age 22 he was back at Beals once again doing what he loved best at the boat shop of Riley Beal and his son Elihu. Alley remembers helping to build three boats there in the shop at Pero Point. The fi rst one was a 35 by 10-foot boat built for Hiram Alley of Beals around 1956. This was followed by a 28 by 9-foot boat for Millard Kelley of Jonesport and a 32 by 9-foot boat for Frank Dobbins also of Jonesport.


Alley added that Riley and Elihu Beal later moved their business to Jonesport buying a shop near the present-day location of Elihu’s son Ben Beal’s wharf and lobster business. A large crew of men, including

ASMFC Atlantic Striped Bass Board


Approves State Implementation Plans to Reduce Harvest


The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries


Commission’s Atlantic Striped Bass Man- agement Board approved Addendum IV implementation plans and conservation equivalency proposals for all the states and jurisdictions. The implementation plans, which were reviewed and approved by the Technical Committee, contain state-specifi c management options that achieve a 25% reduction in harvest from 2013 levels for the coastal fi shery and 20.5% reduction in harvest from 2012 levels for the Chesapeake Bay fi shery. Given the wide range of options


being considered, the Board recommended neighboring states and jurisdictions work to- gether to implement consistent management measures, especially on shared water bodies. This recommendation was also supported by the Commission’s Law Enforcement Com- mittee. Additionally, the Board reminded states there is greater certainty in the percent reductions of simple management measures (i.e., changes in bag or size limits) relative to more complex measures (e.g., slot/trophy fi sh and mode-specifi c options). The Board also tasked the Technical Committee with expanding the exploration of stock-specifi c reference points to include the other producer areas, such as the Dela- ware Bay and the Hudson River stocks, in addition to the Chesapeake Bay. The Board will review progress on the stock-specifi c reference points at its Spring Meeting in May.


States and jurisdictions must have fi nal measures for implementing Addendum IV in place by the beginning of their 2015 fi sh- ing seasons. For more information, please contact Mike Waine, Senor Fishery Manage- ment Plan Coordinator, at mwaine@asmfc. org or 703.842.0740.
