It seems that someone likes to cut down or top off trees around the Roosevelt Schoolhouse, probably for Christmas, leaving me to deal with the mess. I'm asking whomever is doing this to please stop. I've resisted for over a decade to post "No Trespassing" signs as I find them to be unsightly so I am using the forum to request respect for my property.

Great Lakes Energy trimmed the tops of the spruce and cedar that were growing up into the power lines along King's Highway . Those may be the ones to which you are referring . They were here a few years ago to clear limbs and brush under the lines. I'm not sure what area around the school you mean, but maybe this will answer some questions for you.

Roosevelt School is known to be haunted. I don't remember the whole story but it involved the woodcutter's son. The woodcutter lived in the swamp lands south of the McCauley cut off. Everyone said he was not right in the head. His son attended Roosevelt school until his unexplained disappearance. It is said that his ghost has been seen several times walking the roads to the school and also in the building.
You can check the court records but the father claims he sent his son out for wood one night and was told not to return without 3 cords , maybe it was 3 face cords, I don't remember the details. That was the last anyone saw of the wee lad.
My advise, don't pick anyone up at night walking along those roads, especially someone carrying an ax.
Or, Jim might be right. It is just GLE trimming the wires, I'll let you decide.
