Trail etiquette key when pounding the pedals
GARDINER -- I hadn't been on a bicycle in years. In fact, it had been so long for me that when a friend asked if I wanted to hit the Kennebec River Rail Trail this week, my first stop on the way to the head of the trail was the basement of my parents' house.
DIF&W monitoring several species of birds
In the mid 1980s, the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife began to integrate non-game bird management throughout what was then referred to as the Migratory Bird Project. Before this time, the Department's accomplishments in bird conservation focused on waterfowl and American woodcock research and management, and marine wildlife studies.

HOOPS TOURNEY VIDEO
Pressed for time? Watch two basketball games in about a minute. KJ photographer Joe Phelan set up a digital still camera to automatically make a frame every thirty seconds from the radio booths high above the Augusta Civic Center court. Over the course of the afternoon session it took almost 500 pictures. Then with the help of some computer software we compressed two boys games from the MPA Class C West bracket - Traip vs. Hall-Dale and Winthrop vs. Hyde - into a one minute, 12 second movie.
