From MPS (Tuesday, April 21):
MPS Positivity Project: 
We are launching the MONDAY MILE for the whole community. Beginning April 27th and every Monday thereafter let's agree to start our week off strong. Hike it, bike it, dog walk it, run it, or get on the treadmill. Every Monday we'll encourage you to do your MILE. Why? Reason #1- Regular physical activity can help reduce feelings of stress and anxiety and can also help to strengthen our immunity. Your MPS family is with you. We'll be posting our pics to motivate you.

Photo Waterville Residential Care Center
The Waterville Residential Care Center, pictured here on Earth day, has been closed to visitors since March 10th. But they have been active on social media, keeping the community and resident families updated on what's happening. As well as, recently honoring their staff working to keep everyone healthy and safe.




***
 While we can continue to drive and walk around, socially distant, and to share out photos from other groups, we would love to include some of your photos during this current time- that will also become historic. How is it going as an essential worker? What does your non-essential work look like at home? How are you and your kids handling school at home? Anything else noteworthy during these new times.

The end of April has brought different surprises in past years:


Earlier in 2007, the Mill Building was the reason for a midnight alarm as the frame addition collapsed.  Read the full April post by Clicking Here 


Earlier this year, The Waterville Historical Society posted this photo of the Mill prior to demolition.  "One of the last pictures of "the mill", taken in August of 2007, days before it was torn down. The building was built as Putnam Hall, and has since been used as Buell's Shoe Factory, Oneida Hosiery, and finally as Waterville Knitting Mills (as pictured). "

A last glimpse before demolition on August 23, 2007 as noted in At Home in the Huddle.

As light passes through these hexagon-shaped ice crystals, it is bent at a 22 degree angle, creating a halo 22 degrees in radius (or 44 degrees in diameter). A double halo, sometimes with spokes, may be seen on rare occasions when light reflects off water or ice.      The prism effect of light passing through these six-sided ice crystals separates the light in...
