Today is Tuesday. Temperatures will be in the high to low 70s from north to south with partly sunny skies and a chance for scattered showers throughout the state. Here's what we're talking about in Maine today.
Defiant Maine pastor’s family planning wedding events across state line amid virus outbreaks

  • The family of Todd Bell, the defiant Baptist pastor linked to Maine’s largest COVID-19 outbreak after officiating a wedding near Millinocket in August, will gather next month for another wedding and reception, just a few miles from virus hotspots in York County.
  • A student at Coastal Kids Preschool in Damariscotta has tested positive for COVID-19, but the school remains open and does not have an outbreak, according to school and state officials.
  • The worldwide death toll from the coronavirus eclipsed 1 million on Monday, nine months into a crisis that has devastated the global economy, tested world leaders’ resolve, pitted science against politics and forced multitudes to change the way they live, learn and work.
Time has stood still inside this Maine island camp

  • Sometimes, the modern world feels too fast paced, too angry, too stressful, just plain too much. When those feelings come upon Linda Breslin of Winslow, she has the perfect antidote: an island camp on Lake St. George in Liberty that is a throwback to a time gone by.

Tracking the polls in Maine’s biggest 2020 elections
  • Maine has attracted a significant amount of outside polling due to the competitive U.S. Senate race and close presidential race in the 2nd Congressional District. To help keep track of where each race stands, we are compiling all the polls here.
After nearly 3 years of scrutiny, the fate of a Belfast fish farm could come down to a judge

  • There is another hurdle lingering — two land-use lawsuits that are still pending in Waldo County Superior and U.S. District courts. Those cases are important: A judge’s ruling could force Nordic to find another path to the bay, thereby slowing or potentially stopping the project.
Susan Collins, Sara Gideon clash on high court and pandemic relief in 2nd Senate debate
Warm day doesn’t slow down early hunters on opening day of moose season

  • Popular opinion at Gateway Variety — the tagging station in this part of the North Woods — was that Monday’s unseasonably warm temperatures might make the opening day of moose season a tough one for hunters.
Mainers could be asked to approve consumer-owned utility at ballot box
  • A group of former lawmakers and environmental advocates are looking to create a consumer-owned utility through a referendum as soon as 2021 after a similar legislative effort was pared back this year.  It would ask voters if they would like to create the “Maine Power Delivery Authority,” which would be governed by a voter-elected board charged with ensuing cheaper and reliable electricity.
Watch: Maine loons swim against a beautiful backdrop of fall colors
Relax to this footage of Maine loons swimming on a lake through a kaleidoscope of fall foliage colors. In Maine, the leaves on a variety of trees turn bright colors each fall. At the same time, loons are visiting different bodies of freshwater to fish before ice forms on the lakes and forces them to hunt in the ocean.
