A jet ski pulls a waterskier across Bear Pond in Turner on Tuesday afternoon, August 11, 2020.
Turner residents enjoy the warm summer day at Turner Town Beach on Bear Pond Tuesday. The beach is only open to town residents and according to Lexie Benson, one of three beach monitors, no masks are required and there is no limit to the number of people allowed at the beach. "As long as they have a pass we are allowed to let them in. If someone is uncomfortable with how many people are here they don't have to stay. So far everyone has been staying with their groups and practicing social distancing and there have been no issues as far as I know." said Benson.
Firefighters quickly extinguished a fire that started in the exhaust fan on the second floor of 71 Walnut Street in Lewiston Monday afternoon, displacing 7 occupants of the downtown apartment building.
