After a weekend of gunfire in Meadow Lake, police made numerous arrests and laid more than a dozen charges. We know it can be scary for a community of 5,300 people to hear of multiple firearms-related incidents taking place over a very short period of time where families live and work, Meadow Lake RCMP Staff Sgt. Ryan How said in a news release.

The Portland Food Co-op at 290 Congress St. will be closed through Sunday because a second staff member has tested positive for COVID-19, the store’s general manager said in an email sent out to customers Monday.
The store had initially closed last week after an employee tested positive on Jan. 3. The rest of the workers were tested, and the store was sanitized before reopening Thursday afternoon. A second employee tested positive Sunday, prompting another closure. This time the store will remain closed through Jan. 17, general manager John Crane said. The store has shut down its curbside service during this closure as well.
First up: The Maine potato doughnuts have landed.
The Holy Donut launched Monday with a soft opening at 848 Minot Ave., at Minot Avenue and Hotel Road, in Auburn.
The southern Maine chain has locations in Portland and Scarborough and announced it was coming to Auburn last fall.
Ryan Howe, director of business operations, said the unannounced kickoff was intended to give staff time to get comfortable. The official opening is planned Tuesday.
The donut and coffee shop will be open seven days a week from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. with, for now, drive-thru service only.
“We are so excited to be opening in the Auburn area,” Howe said. “Everyone has been so great, so welcoming. We can’t wait to share these great vibes, delicious doughnuts and coffee with everybody.”
