he caught a batch of fi sh we’d go help him.’ He also fi shed with Shea Billings, who
is Harlan Billings grandfather. Robbins said, ‘Before I ever went on my own I had Shea’s gear and I fi shed for him for fi ve or six years.’ When asked if he knew Phil Alley, Rob-
bins said, ‘I was well acquainted with Phil. I met him some time in the ‘30s. He was with the old Nellie C. and Phil was the cook. That was his fi rst trip. Later on he moved up here to Isle au Haut.’ Alley came from Jonesport and seined during the summers from Isle au Haut. Today there are not many that re-
member the seining industry when it was a booming business. Robbins remembered Sonny Lehtinen of Tenant’s Harbor and Phil Bennett and all those fellows from Vinalhav- en. He also fondly remembered the carriers Jacob Pike and Eva Grace. He added, ‘The old Eva Grace was the fi rst one that Stinson had built. I think Phil Alley and John Titus loaded her just about the fi rst of my seining.’ What about sardines today?, Robbins
is not impressed. ‘You know Underwood put up a good sardine,’ said Robbins. ‘They were edible. When they changed over to the cold pack in my opinion they spoiled the taste. In order to get a good tasting sardine today you have got to buy them Norwegian
brands. They go off shore and catch a lot of them big herring and cut off little piece of tail and throw it in a can add a little fresh water. It’s just like boiling a turnip and not putting anything in with it. It is just about half cooked.’ After selling his boat and gear Robbins
looked for something to do to occupy his time. He turned to making models of var- ious boats. He makes them for his several grandchildren and he sells them to any one else that would like to have one. He is unsure how many he has made
over the last couple of years, but there has been quite a number leave the shop. He has done some open lobster boats with the spray hoods, then some cut off stern modern boats as well as a number of Friendship sloops. Looking for a good Christmas gift how
about a model? Robbins may be almost 90 years old, but you would never know it. When I stopped down he was putting huge pieces of wood into his dock to shore it up. He just proves that a good active life pays off in the end.”

organizations, and procedures for obtaining Certificates of Inspection, will become eff ective July 20, 2016.

TWIC Final Rule - CDR Andy Myers, USCG
The Coast Guard released a Final Rule
regarding Transportation Worker Identifi - cation Credential (TWIC) readers for some facilities on August 23, 2016. The fi nal rule requires certain vessels and facilities regulated by the Coast Guard to conduct electronic inspections of TWICs as an access control measure. The fi nal rule also implements recordkeeping requirements and security plan amendments that would incorporate these TWIC requirements. The fi nal rule provides additional fl exibility with regard to the purchase, installation, and use of electronic readers. Instead of requiring the use of a TWIC reader on the TSA’s Qualifi ed Technology List (QTL), owners and opera- tors can choose to fully integrate electronic TWIC inspection and biometric matching into a new or existing Physical Access Con- trol System (PACS). Additionally: The fi nal rule only aff ects Risk Group A vessels and facilities, and that no changes to the existing business practices of other MTSA-regulated vessels and facilities are required. The fi nal rule eliminates the distinction between Risk Groups B and C for both vessels and facili- ties. If and when a requirement for electronic TWIC inspection may be considered for MTSA-regulated vessels and facilities not currently in Risk Group A, the Coast Guard will provide an updated analysis of the costs and benefi ts of such an action and defi ne new Risk Groups accordingly. The fi nal rule clarifi es that for Risk Group A facilities, electronic TWIC inspection is required each time a person is granted unescorted access to a secure area (a limited exception is per- mitted for Recurring Unescorted Access, or RUA). For Risk Group A vessels, electronic
TWIC inspection is only required when boarding the vessel, even if only parts of the vessel are considered secure areas. The fi nal rule eliminates the special requirement that barge fl eeting facilities that handle or receive barges carrying Certain Dangerous Cargoes (CDC) in bulk be classifi ed as Risk Group A. Barge fl eeting facilities are instead classifi ed the same as all other facilities. The fi nal rule increases the exemption from electronic TWIC inspection requirements to vessels with 20 or fewer TWIC-holding crewmembers and defi nes that number as the minimum manning requirement specifi ed on a vessel’s Certifi cate of Inspection. The fi nal rule provides additional fl exibility for ferries and other vessels that use dedicated terminals in Risk Group A to integrate their electronic TWIC inspection programs with their terminals’ programs.

Places of Refuge & Marine Firefi ghting - CDR Andy Myers, USCG CDR Myers discussed the Places of
Refuge in the event of a marine casualty or other need for a vessel to enter a port or area under emergency conditions. Examples of events that may trigger a Place of Refuge decision include vessel low probability but high consequence situations including stability issues, fl ooding, cargo problems, fi re, communicable disease, etc. The Coast Guard hosted several Workshops through-
out the region during the Summer to discuss the thought processes and frameworks needed to determine appropriate Places of Refuge. During these meetings shore- based marine fi refi ghting was identifi ed as a poten- tial training focus. Initial collaborative research is now underway between the Coast Guard and the Port Safety Forum to en- hance marine fi refi ghting training.
6, 1945 in Jonesport, the son of Raymond and Louise (Woodward) Smith. Killer grew up in Jonesport, and was
a graduate of Jonesport High School, class of 1963. He grew up around the shore, and started fi shing with his father when he was 8 years old. Fishing was his way of life, and he spent the bulk of his years from that young age on fi shing the waters off Jonesport, de- pending on the season, for lobsters, taking out urchin divers, gill netting, and dragging for scallops. He had a work ethic that was legendary in the fi shing community, where he was well known and will be missed. Killer was a vocal participant in many meetings that aff ected the industry, and served on the Urchin Committee. He was a member of Jonesport Lodge #188, A.F. & A.M, and the Anah Shrine, where he belonged to the Royal Jesters Club. When he wasn’t fi shing commercially, he enjoyed fi shing the fresh water resources of Maine, and also loved hunting deer and birds. Killer was a man who was not afraid of speaking up for what was on his mind, and will long be remembered and respected for his opinions and valuable input. He loved his family, especially his grandchildren, who will lovingly miss and fondly remember him. Killer is survived by his wife of 30
