The following is copied from another online news source. That being said, why is Robert Carlson still being referred to as a "Reverend?"
One of Carlson’s claims was that he completed graduate studies at the New York Theological Seminary. The seminary’s president, Dale Irvin, said that there are no records that a Robert T. Carlson took courses, much less graduated from the well-known seminary or its affiliates.
In a 1983 story in the Bangor Daily News, Carlson said he received a bachelor’s degree in sociology from the University of Maryland.
Officials with the University of Maryland said they have no record of a Robert T. Carlson graduating from any of the school’s affiliated campuses. He did take courses at the University of Maryland’s University College in the 1960s, but did not earn a degree, according to Chip Cassano, the school’s director of public relations.
Carlson claimed in that same 1983 story that he received theological training at the Episcopal Theological Seminary in Cambridge, Mass., now known as the Episcopal Divinity School.
Officials at the Cambridge divinity school said they have no record that a Robert T. Carlson received a degree or was an alumnus.
Another line in Carlson’s biography indicated that he was a “fellow” for the Ecumenical Institute of Boston.
A volunteer there, Elsa Bengal, searched the records and mailing lists she had access to and never came across the name Robert T. Carlson. Bengal also said the term “fellow” did not show up anywhere in the Ecumenical Institute’s organizational structure over the years.
The headline appears to be incorrect. According to the article, only one of the two was hunting; the other was target practicing. Hope they both recover.
According to another newspaper, "...was shot around 8:30 p.m. outside the home after confronting members of the Maine State Police Tactical Team."

The guy shot up someone's house in an attempt to shoot at the occupants, after which he confronted (see definition, above) the Maine State Police Tactical Team. What would YOU have done in that situation if you were the state police? Tell him to play nice or you'd force him to take some quiet time?
The only good reason I can think of to give Bullrock to the town of Dixfield would be to eliminate it (out of shame) from the town of Rumford. Rumford's "SCREAMING NEON BLUE" ox appears to be the result of a nuclear experiment gone awry. Calling it "extremely tacky" would be giving it a compliment. However, having been born, brought up and having lived in Rumford for 47 years and having worked out of Dixfield for 13 of those years, I find Dixfield to be a nice little town. Dixfield has done nothing wrong; why would we want to cause them shame by displaying an abomination of "art" such as Babe? As such, I would not even consider trying to dump "Babe" on them. The only proper place that comes to mind for Babe is landfill. At least Bullrock has the colors representative of a moose, unlike the color of Babe.
You'd have to direct those questions to the governor. It was he who made the decision to send the state employees home. They had no voice in the matter.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe route 2 runs east and west. If the pedestrian was walking south, he'd have to be crossing route 2 perpendicular to the flow of traffic. Also, I believe (unless the name has changed since I lived in Rumford), that it's called Washington STREET. Glad to hear the pedestrian is ok, though.

Ormsby found criminally responsible in triple homicide case
Hopefully, he'll receive an appropriate, long term jail sentence for the crimes he's been found guilty of. Sympathies to the families of the victims.

In Response to Judy O'Neil
The article has been updated since my original post at 5:46 P.M. It now states (where-as it didn't before) that he was shot by a Maine warden.
In response to Jaclyn Wilt
It does not say he was shot by the warden. Read the article again. The following is quoted from the article;
"The manner of death — whether it was accidental, suicidal or homicidal — is to be determined by the Medical Examiner’s Office."

Struck While Walking South on Route 2...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe route 2 runs east and west. If the pedestrian was walking south, he'd have to be crossing route 2 perpendicular to the flow of traffic.
