YORK, Maine The fiberglass head of a watchful Paul Bunyan sits atop a weathered tree stump near an empty field on a quiet back road, dutifully looking after the nearby river and the community.
Like many old tales, the history of where this statue was placed first and how it came to rest in its current spot has little documentation and relies heavily on oral accounts, including from family of the property owners, neighbors and giant statue fans. Details are hard to come by and even harder to confirm.
The family of residents David and Sharan Gross, who own about 100 acres where the bodiless statue head is now perched alongside Birch Hill Road near the York River, would like for now to keep the statue s story within their small circle, according to their daughter, Amanda Bouchard, who described the giant head as a benevolent presence.

Mamata Banerjee, a people person and Xaverian in spirit ‘She is deeply caring for a peaceful environment for the good of all’
I met Mamata Banerjee for the first time in 2010 when she was minister of railways. The bishop of Asansol had requested me to take him to her to get some advice on an issue related to a church in Asansol.
I made the appointment and we were there at her residence in Kalighat.
One of her officers told me that she had gone out for some urgent work and that she would be back soon. He laid out two chairs on the veranda and made us sit.
