📰 News we're reading
• Southwest Harbor Police and Fire Personnel Rescue Dog That Had Fallen Into Ocean (barharborstory.com) — Lewiston firefighters, aided by more than ten neighboring departments, battled a fast-moving fire Sunday at a 20-unit apartment building on Main Street, which has now been declared a total loss. All residents escaped without injury, though one firefighter was treated for minor injuries and every tenant has been displaced and is receiving Red Cross assistance. Investigators say improperly discarded smoking materials on a first-floor deck accidentally sparked the blaze. 
• Obituary: Albert Harvey (sunjournal.com) — Lewiston neighbors are mourning the passing of 84-year-old Army and National Guard veteran Albert Harvey, a lifelong resident who was born and raised in the city. Remembered for his devotion to family and years of military service and work at Bath Iron Works, he leaves a large, close-knit family. A celebration of life is planned in September at Sabattus American Legion Post 135.
