‘Maddie Moo Designs’: Maine girl builds profitable sticker business
PORTLAND (WGME) — We love to highlight local makers and businesses here on ARC Maine, and one young entrepreneur is using her father as inspiration.
Tom Landry from Benchmark Real Estate has been here on the show before, but this segment is really about his daughter Madeline, or Maddie, who is building a profitable sticker business called Maddie Moo Designs.

PORTLAND (WGME) — Senator Angus King (I-Maine) is calling the current medical record system used by the Department of Veterans Affairs a “debacle.”
In a hearing of the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee, King emphasized the importance of modern, electronic medical records.
He says streamlining information-sharing between the VA and community care providers is essential to helping veterans.
King also questioned how AI could play a role in creating a more efficient flow of information between the two systems.
“AI could tell you whether there are contradictions and problems,” King said. “I think that is one area where everyone is talking about AI. But it is something where we can quickly and instantly analyze.”
King added that AI could also help narrow prescriptions for veterans.
The committee says King’s idea of using AI could help make medical records more cohesive between the VA and other care providers.
One of the best ever to wear the blue and white of Portland, quarterback Cordell Jones, made it official Wednesday, signing his national letter of intent to play for the University of Maine next season.
Jones, who suffered a separated shoulder during the Turkey Bowl, should be back playing for the Bulldogs in the next five to six weeks.
The two-way star on the gridiron helped lead the Bulldogs to three straight appearances in the Class A State Finals, including a gold ball win over Thornton Academy in 2024.
This past season, Jones broke two longstanding Bulldog records for touchdowns and total points, and the amazing part is he did it in just three seasons.
Jones had multiple scholarship offers but in the end wanted to be a part of the amazing culture in Orono, hoping to someday help lead the Black Bears to a CAA championship.
PORTLAND (WGME) – A Maine charity is helping people stay warm this winter.
Catholic Charities Maine held its annual “Wall of Warmth” event Wednesday in Portland.
Knitters across the state made 775 handmade hats, scarves and mittens.

At their office on Congress Street, Catholic Charities handed out free winter gear to anyone in need.
“We have knitters, crocheters, quilters, artists, people with kind hearts that donated brand new hats or knitted items to give away,” Catholic Charities Maine Director of Volunteer Services Kelly Day said.
Catholic Charities Maine says any items remaining will be distributed through their 20+ programs statewide.
