What's an area built from, what are the schools like, how involved are the communities?

This Maine maine high school,last chapel houlton maine,local maine videosHoulton High School Senior Last Chapel video helps show a glimpse of that.  Schools in small Maine towns are a vital part of the local community.

     Parents, grandparents, friends, neighbors all take part in raising the youth whether thru little league, thru church, actual teaching or hiring them as workers.

     A real estate broker in that small town shows the events that happen here on line with local community videos.

Relatives many states away can take a peek at the events and feel connected, able to stay in touch. And folks considering moving here with children, can see how their kids will fit in, where they will be going to school, etc.

Local Maine community videos are important to shoot, edit, post on line as a resource. Enjoy the show.

Maine Well Water For Drinking, Showering, Cooking Abundant, Cheap To Drill And High Quality.

It is amazing how lousy the water quality is in heavily populated areas and how expensive drilling a well in the country areas is.

For years in Northern Maine, $2600 would get you a drilled well with lots of water and a submersible pump to boot. Now the figure is closer to $4800 from my experience. But regardless of the current price tag, our wells are not 700 feet deep, water is plentiful. Less demand or population. Less "straws" down into the ground aquifier and lots of supply according to the state of Maine concerning wells.  A well that is 60 feet and not over 250 feet is common.

     I have a brother who lives in Boxford MA who I believe has a 700 foot plus well and without hurting his feelings, even with tons of filters, softeners, the water quality is poor, the quantity is nothing to write home about. Anyone should have clean water, lots of it and not worry about running out or getting sick. Some northern Maine water wells are fourteen feet deep, with washed crushed rock on the bottom and concrete 3-4 foot tiles stacked and covered. I would not want to be trying to water forty thirsty head of cattle or horses with this type of well but they do the trick for single family homes if the teenage showers and wash loads are kept in check.

A dug well is economical and serves the purpose, especially for a Maine recreational woods camp or vacation retreat.

If you have property next to a lake, the soft water from that body of water can be used for seasonal use although I know of year round lakeside residents that have the line buried below frost and that have tested the water satisfactorily for personal consumption and cooking.

How Small Is Small Town Living Depends On The Area Of Maine You Are In.

In the case of Amity Maine, small is a population under 200 for an area six miles by six miles.

amity maine town officeWhoa..that's space. Maine is the 4th lowest crime state and Aroostook County is half that figure again. Think of how big the population is where you live and consider if you lived in Amity ME with under 5 people per square mile. 77 households, 62 families. Think what more people translates into.

More traffic, more crime, more smog and pollution. Not as healthy a pace of life. You pay to go to the gym for excercise.

     On a hundred farm in Northern Maine, your work is your exercise. Your John Deere tractor is your excercise machine.

     When a town 6 x 6 miles has that kind of population, you rely on the Aroostook County Sheriff's Department for crime protection, and pay the town next door with more people and a fire department a little extra to cover that concern. But with this low a population, how much crime, how many amity maine old schoolfires do you think you are going to have? Not many. Maine..get here as quick as you can. Brighter stars against a pitch black background because we don't have a zillion yard, street, business and home lights. Bluer, vibrant skies because we don't have the pollution caused by all those people, those factories, those vehicles stuck in traffic. Ready to climb off the treadmill of what you cause life in the the urban area?
