Family of missing woman searching for answers

BREMEN, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- The family of Christiana Fesmire, a young woman missing since July 1st, are speaking out to ask for help finding her.

"It is a disappearance.  It's just like someone came and plucked her off the face of the Earth," explained Christiana's father Chester Fesmire.  "It's just she's gone, who knows where, and we really need her presence back again.  We really need to see her.  We want to hold her again."

Christiana was staying with friends in Lewiston.  They last saw her on July 1st as she was preparing to go to a family get-together in Rangely for the 4th of July weekend.  She never showed up.

"When her friends called and said that they hadn't heard from her either, panic - it was just oh my word, what's going on, where is she?" said her father.  "We know that if she could get in touch with us she would."

Navy is gone but air show is back

BRUNSWICK, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- Every couple of years the Navy was instrumental in bringing up to 100,000 people to the Midcoast with it's air shows featuring the Blue Angels.

With the closure of the Brunswick Naval Air Station the navy is gone, but the agency that now runs the former base is committed to keeping the show.

It's also using the show to try to attract new businesses to the property. Besides the show up the sky, one of the hangars is being opened up for a Business Aviation Expo.

The idea behind the expo is to showcase some of the businesses that have already set up shop at the former naval base and to try to attract new aviation businesses.

"Its an opportunity to show that we are open for business and these are the types of business we would like to see come here", said Steve Levesque of the Midcoast Regional Redevelopment Authority.

Hauling wood... with a Gravely!

I cut up some wood that needed to be moved and decided to use my little antique Gravely Model Li to move it!  I modified my mowing deck to accept a 2 inch towing ball.  This is so I can pull a trailer around.  It should be noted that this is not necessarily an "original" Gravely design.  All Gravely designs for carts or trailers were much smaller than what you will see in the video so I may be trying to pull a little too much with the size of mine.  However I did see official literature that indicated Gravelys were used in the past for pushing cars around a car lot and for moving large pallets of lumber in and out of drying kilns.  So HEY!  If the Gravely can handle that it surely can handle my trailer with a few rounds of wood in it!

Did you feel the earthquake?

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) -- Rumblings from a 5.9 magnitude earthquake centered in Virginia are being felt in Maine.

State Geologist Robert Marvinney of the Maine Geological Survey says Tuesday afternoon's quake was felt across southern Maine, from roughly Augusta to the New Hampshire border. He says people could feel the shaking indoors, particularly in upper stories, but that the tremors were too weak to cause any damage.

No injuries have been reported.

The quake struck at 1:51 p.m. and was centered in the town of Louisa, Va., northwest of Richmond.

If you have photos of any damage, please send them to newscenter@wcsh6.com or newscenter@wlbz2.com
