    AUGUSTA — A Belfast man accused of killing his wife and attempting to kill his mother in Readfield was committed to state custody Wednesday after a mental health evaluation determined he is not competent to stand trial. Samuel Whittemore, 34, will be sent either to Riverview Psychiatric Center in Augusta or Dorothea Dix Psychiatric Center in Bangor in an effort to restore his mental competency so he can stand trial on charges of murder, attempted murder and aggravated assault.

    AUGUSTA — City officials plan to have the “Augusta!” logo redesigned so any city materials it adorns, including online digital materials, can be read by people with visual disabilities and comply with looming federal accessibility law changes. The stylized, red swoopy logo written in cursive and incorporating wavy blue lines meant to evoke the Kennebec River can be difficult or impossible for people with visual impairments or who use assistive technology to read.
