In a 4-3 ruling, the Supreme Court held that the Maine Tort Claims Act, which prohibits the government from claiming immunity from lawsuits involving public buildings, does not extend to sidewalks or parking lots outside such buildings. Justices said that if they were to decide otherwise, municipalities could be sued over incidents that occurred within a larger radius around public buildings. Kimberly Donovan claimed she went to Riverton Elementary School to pick up her children from an after-school program on Nov. 9, 1999, when she fell and injured her arm as she walked toward the entrance.

Donovan had not reached the school or its stairs when she fell, according to court documents. lawsuit alleged the city was in its of the school building because it was insufficiently lit after dark, which she claimed contributed to her fall. While the Maine Tort Claims Act says that all government entities shall be immune from lawsuits on tort claims seeking recovery damages, a select number of government holdings exist outside of such immunity. The court said in its ruling that if it were to rule in favor of claim, municipalities could be sued for incidents that occurred within a larg- er proximity to a government building. this was a decision that gave the law court some pause, said Marshall Tinkle, a Portland attorney arguing the suit.

Tinkle noted the split decision and that it took six months for the court to decide. thought the dissent had the better argument, but those are the Tinkle said. Man pleads guilty to third killing NASHUA, N.H. (AP) A man facing execution for killing two men in Massachusetts pleaded guilty Tuesday to killing a third in New Hampshire. Gary Sampson, who admitted killing Robert Whitney in July 2001, pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and received the mandatory sentence of life without parole.

He said he agreed to the plea not only because he is guilty but because prosecutors agreed to keep him out of New England while he awaits execution. Sampson, who is appealing his death sentence, spoke forcefully in court, interrupting the questions to complain about the prison chains on his waist and make his case for being returned to the federal prison in Terre Haute, Ind. Hornby named to federal panel PORTLAND (AP) U.S. District Court Judge D. Brock Hornby has been named to a panel that will look into how federal courts handle judicial misconduct.

work on the six- member panel, which will be headed by U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen G. Breyer, will begin this month. The mission is to how the federal judicial system is dealing with judicial misbehavior and according to a statement by court administrators.

(AP) Three women who took turns dressing as the Easter Bunny to pose for photos with kids at a Nashua mall have been charged with stealing money from the portrait company.

He trains five days a week, biking 40 to 60 miles in all weather.

On Saturdays and Sundays, he competes in 20- to 100-mile races. The rides are difficult and often test endurance. when you cross that finish line, I think about what I just did. he said. like a On July 4, travel to Massachusetts for the biggest race of his career: a four-day contest that pits 150 of the top cyclists against one another.

Two sessions will bring 30 Arab youth and approximately 12 Arab educators to Otisfield to spend two weeks at the camp with an equal number of Americans. Participants will meet to discuss complex issues facing the global community and receive the training required to lead in all aspects of their according to a Seeds of Peace statement. The second phase of the program will reunite the same participants next spring in Jordan for a week of continued cultural exchange, leadership training and intense discussion.

The group will also travel to key historical, political, cultural and educational sites in both Jordan and the United States. Camp director Tim Wilson said his hope is that the programs dispel many of the preconceptions that are perpetrated by the media overseas. Living part time in the Middle East, he said he is disgusted by the images of American life as portrayed by television programs shipped there. On the other hand, he is visibly proud of youth. During The Maine Project, kids from Portland and Lewiston come to the camp on Pleasant Lake to discuss issues stemming primarily from increased diversity in their cities and the misunderstandings that arise from it.

Several youths from this program have gone on to appointments on a youth advisory council working with the state Legislature. These young community leaders also coordinate an annual appreciation banquet attended by more than 300 people, he said. The Maine Project teens will be attending the Otisfield camp at the same time as teens from Beyond Borders. kids do it Wilson said, are the models for the rest of the Seeds of Peace International Camp was founded in 1993 and dedicated to teaching teenagers from areas of conflict leadership skills required to promote peace.
