Fishing Shack Nonprofit Head Apologizes for Calling Canadian Scavengers ‘Vandals’

The head of a nonprofit organization in Lubec, Maine trying to recover the last smoked-herring shack in the United States from nearby Campobello Island in New Brunswick (where it got blown by a recent storm) is apologizing for referring to Canadians who have attacked the shed with chainsaws “vandals.” Canadian authorities have been slow to allow the Maine group to get the shack.
