South Portland police to go ‘hands free’ on cell phones
The city’s police department has placed the crumpled wreckage of a cruiser at the busy corner where the Casco Bay Bridge meets Broadway to send a message to motorists: Don’t drive distracted.
The cruiser was wrecked, and an officer was injured, in a crash on the bridge on Nov. 1. Police say the driver who hit the parked cruiser with a pickup truck, David Zografos of South Portland, was talking on his cell phone.
Zografos, who was uninjured, was charged with failing to maintain control of a motor vehicle.

Portland declares ‘no smoking’in public housing
Starting in July, Karen Allen won’t be allowed to smoke her Marlboro Lights in her apartment in Harbor Terrace — public housing that she sees as her own home.
The Portland Housing Authority has decided to make the 1,000 apartments it manages smoke-free. It is one of the last of Maine’s 24 public housing authorities to make the change.
The ban comes as a relief to many residents, who object to the smell and health effects of secondhand smoke. But tenants like Allen aren’t happy about it.
