- Maine Wildness is the name of the state’s new women’s soccer team.
The name and logo for the amateur team founded by the Hearts of Pine were revealed Thursday, and they’re a hit with the community.
In the presentation, the qualities of “Wildness” as it relates to Maine women were detailed as five main themes: resilience, communers, work ethic, leadership, and being grounded. Wildness, according to a club press release, connects the physical characteristics of Maine and “the trailblazing spirit” of Maine women.
The Maine Wildness will begin play in the spring and early summer of 2027, competing in the USL W League, which in 2026 had 96 teams across 16 regionalized divisions.

- Every day, thousands of residents face the hardest financial choices, as households struggle to afford basic expenses.
The financial situation for many Mainers is bleak. Some families have been in poverty, or hovering just above it, for generations.
Social services reporter Gillian Graham reported a three-part series on Maine poverty as a USC Annenberg Center for Health Journalism 2026 National Fellow and a participant in the Center’s engagement initiative (@chjreportinghealth).

- Are wild Atlantic salmon only found in Maine rivers?

- Description
- Two centuries ago, wild Atlantic salmon used to swim up New England rivers by the hundreds of thousands.
Now, they’re only found in Maine—and at only a fraction of their former numbers. What happened?
“Salmon require the cleanest and the healthiest,” says Dan McCaw, fisheries program manager for the Penobscot Indian Nation. “And so we're losing them first.”
Video produced by Claire Tighe and Tyler Lynch. Additional footage by Reuben M. Schafir and Daryn Slover.

- Dancing with hearts, they share the love with Portland
- Runtime

- Date posted

- Description
- You'll know they're out dancing in Portland's Longfellow Square long before you see them.
First, you'll hear drivers honking their horns in support. Next, their music will reach you — an upbeat mix of '80s pop, contemporary club remixes and the occasional Beatles song. Then, you'll see the group of about a half dozen members, jumping and swaying on the street corner with large, brightly-colored hearts in hand.
They hope that last, maybe, you'll join them for a dance.
Gathering in either Longfellow Square or Congress Square Park three days a week with their tunes and hearts, Love Signs is partially an art installation, somewhat a demonstration, certainly a celebration and undoubtably a solid hour of exercise, said the group's steadfast participants.
