Citizens debate blasting Emery Mountain for a park and cemetery versus road rock needs, while Kennebec River bridge plans gain traction with potential state and federal funding. The Norway and South Paris street railway is deemed nonpaying, and nearby elderberry blossom harvests hint at coming outdoor excursions.
