SEC Nation with a nice tribute to @KOMUnews Sports Director Ben Arnet. Ben was so excited for the return of the Border War, and some of his final pieces aired this week on KOMU. Many of us cheering on the Tigers with a heavy heart today.

It’s hard to put into words what Ben meant to us all. ❤️

Thursday, we lost our good friend, teacher and mentor Ben Arnet. 24 hours later, dozens of his current and former students and colleagues returned to the football field to do what he taught us to do best. Ben’s legacy lives on and is present around the nation🤍

Some well prepared Mainers! A tree was down on Route 9, and these guys had their saws ready. People lining the road even got out of their cars to help drag it away #teamwork

What do you do for fun when your restaurant floods in Maine? You take your shellfish for a walk

People are stopping by Schemengees Bar and Grille to pay their respects to the 8 victims whose lives were taken too soon. “Never in a million years would we imagine anything like this would ever happen here. It’s always been a place of fun, competition and laughing and joking.”

On my way into work this morning, I passed this display at Longfellow Square in Portland showing support for the Lewiston community. Safe to say all of Maine & beyond are sending their love to the victims and family members of those who lost their lives. #LewistonStrong
