Good morning, Portland.

Maine's Total Coverage won seven first-place awards from the Maine Association of Broadcasters on Saturday night in Bangor – winning best newscast, best weather cast, best sportscast, spot news and election coverage.

The Maine Trust for Local News won over 100 awards at its annual ceremony held Saturday by the Maine Press Association—recognizing work from the Press Herald, Sun Journal, and other papers—while two former Press Herald journalists were inducted into the association’s Hall of Fame.

Many older Mainers have trouble getting the home care they need because of a shortage of trained workers and mistakes in diagnosing illnesses—Bonnie Paskell, who was eventually diagnosed with a slow-progressing form of ALS, saw her care delayed until her husband became her full-time caregiver. State programs and a new family leave law aim to ease these gaps while experts call for more training to better help Maine’s aging population.

People turning 65 who are already collecting Social Security are automatically enrolled in Medicare parts A and B—receiving a mailed insurance card with details about free Part A and Part B with a monthly premium of $185.

Those not receiving Social Security must sign up by applying three months before their birthday and providing required personal information to start coverage.

Portland’s new breakfast spot Henny’s opened in the West End to fill the gap left by Oh No Café’s closing and is run by high school sweethearts Heidi and Kenny Chestnut who work together in a busy kitchen.

They serve creative breakfast sandwiches including the Mill Stack designed by a local 10-year-old and the Blazen Granny at 87 Brackett Street (open daily from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m.), drawing locals back for seconds and thirds.

Cross country teams are training hard ahead of regional championships on Saturday and state championships on Nov.

1. Coaches say athletes are balancing running with cross-training—using weights and cardio machines—to avoid overtraining and to match varied race courses.

Yarmouth High played Waterville on Saturday where junior receiver Jackson Jabar scored four touchdowns in a 70—26 win, marking the first time in over 100 years a Jabar played against his hometown team.

The family gathered for a pregame tailgate, and the win may boost the Clippers’ chances in the upcoming 8-man Large School South playoffs.

The Portland Hearts of Pine clinched a USL League One playoff berth with a 2-2 draw against Westchester SC on Saturday at Fitzpatrick Stadium.

Portland led 2-1 before JC Obregon tied the game with his 17th goal in the 90th minute — a key moment that secured their postseason spot with two home games remaining.

Bowdoin earned its first win of the season against Wesleyan on Saturday in Middletown, Connecticut as Soren Hummel threw for 211 yards and three touchdowns to guide the Polar Bears to a 25 to 17 victory.

Michael Wolfendale caught four passes for 117 yards and a touchdown to boost the team's performance.

In Saturday high school football, Westbrook edged Cheverus 27 to 21 with a late 59 yard defensive touchdown by Owen Taylor while Thornton Academy dominated Sanford 56 to 13 with three scores from Connor Ayoob.

Other contests saw wins and ties in boys soccer, girls soccer, field hockey and cross country with standout plays from teams in Old Orchard Beach, Telstar, Biddeford and Freeport — highlighting a busy day for local high school sports.

At its 110th event on November 8 at the Portland Expo, the Portland Boxing Club will host a boxing match where champion Casey Streeter defends his New England super welterweight title against Denzel Whitley – the card also features bouts with undefeated middleweight Wade Faria and welterweight Brandon Berry and will begin at 7 p.m.
