Framed against woodland trees and a fast-flowing river, Mill Park in East Machias was the perfect setting to honor town native-son and Maine Game Warden Joe McBrine on Sept. 12. 

McBrine, who was born and raised in East Machias, has been a Maine game warden for 28 years. His resume even includes appearing for a couple of seasons on the Maine edition of the TV reality show North Woods Law.
