A note to readers on print edition changes

1 week ago | pressherald.com | Scott Monroe

Over the past two weeks, we have made significant changes to the print editions of the Kennebec Journal, Morning Sentinel, Portland Press Herald and Sun Journal. The Maine Trust for Local News made these production and product updates to ensure long-term sustainability and focus investments where they matter most — in local journalism. We’ve received a lot of valuable feedback from readers, and we acknowledge continuing challenges in the delivery of certain papers.

In the Field: Central Maine’s sandhill cranes will make your heart soar

Oct 31, 2024 | centralmaine.com | Scott Monroe

Few natural sounds are more pleasing than the calls of sandhill cranes. Their elongated windpipes, coiled in the sternum, produce loud, rolling, trumpet-like vocalizations that last several seconds and can be heard two miles away, long before the flying birds are visible. In Maine, their calls are becoming more frequent as crane populations increase, especially in agricultural lands bordering freshwater marshes. The Pine Tree state’s few historical crane records are inconclusive.
Backyard Naturalist: The Great Heat Pump Adventure, Part 2

Oct 30, 2024 | centralmaine.com | Scott Monroe

At our house in Troy, we ran a sort of Frankenstein monster to heat our house for many years. The different parts sutured together over the years included the original oil burner from when the house was new in 1986; a backwoods-installation wood stove in the cellar; a kerosene space heater to help out the wood stove; a couple of limited-use electric space heaters upstairs; and, starting in 2009, a ducted heat pump system that had drawbacks.
On the Edge: Don’t fall

Oct 27, 2024 | centralmaine.com | Scott Monroe

I sit there quietly in my 2017 white Prius in the Shaw’s Market parking lot three times a week — some days early in the morning, sometimes later in the afternoon — watching “old” people walk from their cars to the entrance. I’m probably 10 years older or more than most them. And here I sit, looking 60. “Old” is the dreaded word we use from first grade until the day when we throw a ball and it falls inches away. Yeah! Like that.
On the Edge: Waiting for November

Oct 20, 2024 | centralmaine.com | Scott Monroe

“I hear that a hurricane blows off roofs, uproots trees and puts the snatch on people, and they all go flyin’ around in the sky together. Is that right?”— From “Key Largo,” 1948It’s 12 p.m. in Waterville, Maine. It’s sunny out on my leaf- covered lawn, and that makes me feel happy. Happy that I’m still alive and able to walk, do the breakfast dishes and laundry, clean Ms. Kramer’s cage and wait for Florida to survive Milton’s beating. Remember Florida?

On the Edge: The great debate

Oct 13, 2024 | centralmaine.com | Scott Monroe

Good morning. What was that? Who were those two guys keeping me awake? I tuned in, as political junkies do, and lost sleep to watch JD Vance and Timothy Walz throw punches at each other.
