We’ve all seen them, the old cemetery on the side of a winding country road. Faded and sometimes crumbling headstones tilted or fallen over. Iron fences or stone walls overgrown with vegetation. A group of inmates has made it their mission to make sure no prisoner dies alone. A Massachusetts man was seriously injured Friday afternoon when his car skidded into the path of a delivery truck in Saco. Many Mainers who receive their cable and internet service from Spectrum lost those services on Friday, but it’s not clear if the Spectrum outages were tied to the icy rain that fell across the state throughout the day. Colby College has put up some students who returned from a recent trip to China at a Waterville hotel, isolating the students as a precautionary measure against coronavirus even though none has shown symptom. It’s been a tragic week on Maine’s frozen lakes. A former Medomak Valley High School principal is denying claims from a former student who alleges he made lewd comments and sent sexually suggestive texts to her while she was at the school. An Augusta man was arrested by Maine State Police on Friday and charged with murder. In response to multiple attacks by wild foxes over the past several months, the city of Bath is planning to trap and euthanize up to 400 animals over a 10-day period. Throughout its 108-year existence, L.L. Bean has never appeared on a runway. Until now. This year, the Maine Ecological Reserve System, owned by the state, will turn 20 years old. Covering more than 90,000 acres in parcels scattered throughout Maine, its purpose is to conserve the state’s biodiversity while serving as benchmarks for long-term research. U.S. Sen. Susan Collins of Maine said Friday she wanted to hear from President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser and the U.S. ambassador to the European Union before voting to acquit Trump of impeachment charges this week. History may record this week as a turning point in the American experiment — the day that we stepped away from the Framers’ vision, enabled a new and unbounded presidency and made ourselves observers rather than full participants in the shaping of our country’s future. Freezing rain on Friday morning is causing tricky travel conditions across the state as untreated roads, parking lots and sidewalks are essentially skating rinks. U.S. Sen. Susan Collins has a healthy fundraising lead in her 2020 bid for re-election, but an onslaught of ads against her by dark-money groups has her spending to defend herself on the air while her most well-funded Democratic opponent introduces herself. The amount of waste that goes to the Juniper Ridge Landfill in Old Town has been climbing upward for the last six years — a trend that continued this past year partly as a result of new state restrictions on the use of wastewater sludge as a fertilizer. A new lesson I learned: You can go back again. Maine students’ math performance declined for a fourth straight year last year, according to the latest batch of standardized test results released by the state Department of Education. Former state Sen. Eric Brakey and former state Rep. Dale Crafts clashed over foreign policy in a Thursday debate among the three Republicans vying for the party’s nomination in to take on U.S. Rep. Jared Golden in Maine’s 2nd District. Two days before Jennifer Bryant Flynn and Regina Long were gunned down in Machias and Jonesboro, both expressed fears that they would be shot to death.
