RUMFORD FALLS TIMES • February 24, 2025
A young male moose continued his monthslong wandering of the streets Monday, attracting attention, prompting a poem and a possible name of Edmund Moosky, after the town’s native son and U.S. senator, Edmund Muskie. Town Manager George O’Keefe said, “I think he is, at some point, going to be relocated by (the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife)”, or he might relocate himself to a more amendable corner of forest.” Police officers have written a poem about him which begins “In Rumford, Maine, there’s a moose on the loose, Sipping some juice with the Androscoggin goose.”
