A man and woman died from injuries sustained in a fire Saturday morning at their home in Farmington, authorities said. It was the third fatal fire in Maine in less than a week.
William Vincent, 75, did not survive the fire that broke out at his residence around 5 a.m. on Clover Mill Road, according to the State Fire Marshal’s Office. Tomasa Vincent managed to escape the house and was taken to Franklin Memorial Hospital and later to Maine Medical Center in Portland, where she succumbed to her injuries, the fire marshal’s office said Saturday night.
It seems we run into tone deafness a lot these days. "Defund the Police" may be the dumbest idea to come down the pike in years. It came from one of the most progressive places anyone knows: Minneapolis.

As I write this column, on Friday, February 12th, I can tell you only two facts that are for sure: 1. My wife and I (see photo) got our first of two Moderna doses on February 4th (we are both over 70 years old) and 2. We have appointments for our second doses on March 4th.
How those two vaccinations came about, feels like a microcosm of the very important “roll out” of Covid-19 vaccinations across the country that is plagued (no pun intended) by inconsistencies and information gaps in a few locations across the country; for us, it was a thoughtful phone call from a good friend…and a bit of tenacity and good luck.
