Miami has long been known as a popular destination for Maine spring breakers, but after continuing issues, the city is fed up and wants to "break up with spring breakers".
Nancy Provost and Kathy Paradis joined us this morning to talk about their organizations, the Family Violence Project and the Sexual Assault Crisis and Support Center. They are GREAT local entities that are they to lend a hand to anyone in need...
Deb Fahy from the Harlow Gallery joined Family Violence Project Executive Director, Melody Fitch, on the Moose Morning Show. We talked about the special art exhibit on display through the 24th. We also talked about, "You the Man," which is a great one act play going up this Saturday night at Hallowell City Hall...
It's heartbreaking and scary what's going on in Baltimore at this moment. Riots have broken out after the funeral of Freddie Gray the African American who died while in police custody.

I love Stephen King. Not so much for his writings (I will address my issues on his books later in this note), but for who he is. He is a man of great personal success and a man who has shown he still has a heart, is grounded, compassionate and gees, kinda reasonable. Today I apply those descriptions of Mr. King on the issue of gun control.
This would have been very interesting to attend. It was an informational meeting with law enforcement and lawmakers on gun violence.

City officials in Waterville are concerned about the increasing violence and vandalism in the Elm City. Officials are speaking out against the late-night downtown vandalism and violence that has happened recently.
