Boy hit by car in Lewiston
The driver of the car told police that he did not see the boy in time to stop after the child darted out into the road about 9:30 p.m.
When police and rescue crews arrived, the boy was dazed but conscious and able to speak with paramedics, according to Lewiston police Sgt. Danny LaChance.
The boy was taken to Central Maine Medical Center to be examined. Police were searching for potential witnesses late Friday as they began an investigation.
The identity of the boy and the driver whose car struck him were not immediately available.

The cost of Medicare fraud
The cost of Medicare fraud today is estimated to be $60Billion for which the Federal Government does little about. That amount is nothing to ignore, especially when $0.38 of every federal dollar spent is borrowed.
While we agree there will be fraud in oBamaCare, we both cannot make assertions to its magnitude since we cannot attempt to measure it at this point.
Perhaps you don’t care about the waste, cost, or fraud with Medicare or evolving oBamaCare, some of us do, particularly if we are paying for it.
Let me reiterate – the Government is has an abysmal track record when it comes to financial responsibility and efficiency, I expect no improvements.
Perhaps that is okay for people receiving the benefit but pays not.

Mr. Nachman has a perfect right to write whatever he wants, however most papers, including this one, generally lets its readers know any agenda a letter writer may have.

I found it extremely amusing that after revealing only a portion of Mr. Nachman's background, leblanc accuses me of being a xenophobe. The irony of it all.
