Exeter-Milligan hosts "One Last Enchanted Evening"

Exeter-Milligan held their final prom before consolidation with Friend next school year.  The junior class chose the theme "One Last Enchanted Evening." After cruising in downtown Milligan the students spent time taking pictures with their families and classmates before being introduced as they walked across the street.  A dinner was served for the celebrants at Charlie's Pub before the dance.

The Junior class parents sponsored a post prom party which featured snacks, a hypnotist and games at the Milligan school building.

Exeter-Milligan Update: Animal Adaptations!

 

Animal Adaptations!

By Ashley Arbuck, Exeter-Milligan 3rd grade Teacher

 

Exeter-Milligan 3rd graders have been learning about different adaptations animals have to survive in their environment.  After reading about the many different adaptations, they got to see what it would be like to pick up certain foods using different “beaks”. The students used a marble and a packing peanut as the food.  Their beaks consisted of a clothespin, straw, toothpick, chopsticks, and a spoon.  The students timed each other to see how long it took to pick up the food on land and in water with each beak.  After experimenting, the students had to answer questions and talk about which beak worked better with the type of food and environment.

Blizzard knocks power out for hours (27 hours for some customers) in Exeter

Exeter was not too far south of the bullseye for a storm that hit just after midnight on March 19.  The storm started with rain/sleet and quickly turned from ice to a heavy wet snow.  Exeter received over 10 inches that were nearly impossible to scoop.  Wednesday morning around 8 a.m. power went out in the southeast part of town with the rest of town losing power around 11 a.m.  School had been called off the night before.

Along with the storm were strong winds that piled the snow up into drifts and impaled it on windows and trees.  Power lines and poles were snapped by the weight of the ice and snow build up on lines and many trees, especially pine/spruce trees lost branches because of the weight.  Just a mile south of Exeter power lines were down for several weeks.  (Power utility workers were seen on the road working on April 7).

Power was restored to most of Exeter late in the evening on March 19 but southeast Exeter residents didn't get power back until 11 a.m. on March 20. There was no school March 19,20 or 21.  Many rural roads were not plowed and there were impassible roads.  

Heavy wet snow clung to the evergreen trees in Exeter breaking many branches.

The heavy wet snow was very difficult to scoop but fortunately most of it was gone by the weekend.

Trees were bent and broken by the heavy wet snow.

 The day before the storm, Tuesday, March 18, had a high of 80 degrees with lots of trees budding and blooming.
