Funeral for Maine soldier being held in NH
Thirty-year-old Sgt. Joshua Kirk was among eight soldiers killed Oct. 3 in a fierce fire fight in a remote Afghan outpost.
Kirk was born in Maine, but moved to Idaho at a young age. He returned to Maine as a young adult and received his GED from Camden Hills Regional High School. The military listed Kirk's hometown as South Portland.
The funeral is being held Tuesday at 11 a.m. at Saint Michael's Church in Exeter, N.H., where his wife, Megan Gavin-Kirk, grew up. Burial will follow in Exeter Cemetery.
Maine Gov. John Baldacci has ordered that U.S. and Maine flags be flown at half-staff Tuesday.

Excuse me
Excuse me the people that lost their homes get $2,000.00. The State gets 8 million for the general fund. How is this right.

Something new under the sun
I know it is an election year and this is too well timed to be a coincidence but you have to admit you never, ever would see something like this coming from a Republican administration. I also take it as a sign the economy is in better shape than most people admit. I doubt the banks would have agreed to this unless they could easily afford it.
