Good morning, Portland.

Bowman Field's 39th annual fly-in is open today from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. with over 100 planes expected and families able to enjoy a hangar sale, games, and an antique engine display—events that show local excitement for aviation.

Maine officials are investigating after a correctional officer at Cumberland County Jail found an inmate unresponsive in their cell around 1 p.m. Friday — first responders performed lifesaving measures but could not revive him and officials have not yet determined the cause of death.

Since the pandemic, more than 126,000 people have moved to Maine and nearly half have settled in the southern counties—raising housing costs and making it harder to find a home.

Experts say that although remote work and climate concerns keep the migration steady, few new arrivals work for local companies, which could bring new challenges for the state.

The nonprofit Island Institute and the Maine Center for Entrepreneurs will launch the 11‑week Fishing Plus Accelerator on October 1 to help lobstermen create new business plans and access grants amid new regulations — a warming Gulf of Maine and rising costs are pushing fishing families to diversify their income. The program aims to build skills that let families adapt to industry shifts and climate impacts.

Today, a slow-moving front from the Great Lakes brings building clouds with scattered showers likely tonight into Monday—rain that will help ease drought and high fire danger while rough surf continues along the coast.

Willard Beach reopened yesterday after multiple agencies found that the discoloration in Portland Harbor near Loveitt's Field was naturally stirred up sea-bottom material from boat traffic during low tide—rough surf from Hurricane Erin also stirred up bacteria and red tide signs at other beaches while high waves capsized a sailboat in York Harbor and sent a man to the hospital.

Chad Epperson became the winningest manager in Sea Dogs history Saturday night when Portland beat the Binghamton Rumble Ponies 8-2 at Hadlock Field — his 283rd win passed Arnie Beyeler's record.

Driver DJ Shaw from Center Conway won two qualifier races at Oxford Plains Speedway earlier this month to secure a spot in today's Oxford 250—his 16th attempt at the race.

He has finished on the podium four times and hopes that a better car will finally bring him a win in the main event.
