Town of monson in central maine has a big problem. The town has bounced back from a fire that swept through its downtown, destroying many of the buildings in 1860, and it is recovering from the trauma of the american civil war. The civil war ended just seven years earlier, in 1865. More than 10 of townspeople served in the civil war, and at least six of them died. The problem, even as the town of monson celebrates the 50th anniversary of its founding, is that so many of its young people are moving away. In the census of 1870, monson was listed as having 604 residents. 604. Out of curiosity, how many of you are from places with more than 604 residents, show of hands . Virtually everyone.

Their absence was noted. In 1872, when townspeople gathered to celebrate turning 50, the speaker at the ev

We try to make sense of an extra sensory story. Why would the puppet want to gu . In a world where monsters lurk in the deep. Ooh, yeah, so carey, woo. You should be scared. Ill tell you why. Were at braidles wild farm. 175 acres full of different animals. Rob opened up his farm to the public and likes to have people come in and ask and answer questions.

As we heard from firefighters, this is dry enough to spread the fire across the brush like lighting a piece of paper on fire. Thats how quick it spreads to these trees. No major fire windstorm in effect but that is the good news. The humidity is going to make it difficult. The other thing is the wind. Check out these wind values. On the north side the wind is coming out of the northeast. On the Southern Side of the f
