As you hear, Matt James is filling in for me right now. I want to thank him and want to say welcome back. Starting Monday night you'll hear Matt nightly at 8pm. I took a day off so my wife Lynn could help her mother at a craft fair at Central Maine Medical Center.

Last weekend there was a fire in Orrington. A man and three of his kids died in the fire. It appears they did not have working smoke detectors. It can be easy to forget to change the battery and if you have them near the kitchen they can be a pain. Mine used to go off every time I cooked something, so maybe better placement is the answer and not just taking the battery out. Bottom line is smoke detectors can save lives.

During their morning walk to school in Dublin, Georgia, 11-year-old Maleik Carr and his 5-year-old sister Jalia have to pass a neighbor's yard that houses two unchained, but fenced-in, pit bulls. On Monday disaster struck, as something had made a large hole in the fence over the weekend. When the dogs saw the siblings coming they darted through the hole and began attacking Jalia.
Yesterday was Veteran's Day. In some ways so is today but to some degree should really be everyday. On the left is a picture of my maternal grandfather Alexander Wm. Keema Jr. who served and died in WWII.
