The new layout, which debuted in June 2008, was formatted to appeal to busy readers, though like all of the redesigns in Tribune's Sam Zell ownership era, was reeled back into a more traditional design with appealing elements kept after reader criticism. In 2008, the Tribune Company called for a redesign of the Sentinel. Howard Greenberg, already publisher of fellow Tribune newspaper the Sun-Sentinel of Fort Lauderdale, was named publisher of both papers after Waltz left. She announced her resignation in February 2008. John Puerner succeeded Lifvendahl in 1993, who was replaced by Kathleen M. The newspaper was renamed the Orlando Sentinel in 1982. Harold "Tip" Lifvendahl was named president and publisher in 1981.
In 1973, the two publications merged into the daily Sentinel Star. Andersen eventually bought both papers outright in 1945, selling them to the Tribune Company of Chicago in 1965. Then known as the Morning Sentinel, it bought the Reporter-Star in 1931, when Martin Andersen came to Orlando to manage both papers. Another Orlando paper, the South Florida Sentinel, started publishing as a morning daily in 1913. The Reporter became a daily newspaper in 1905, and merged with the Orlando Evening Star in 1906. But the chemicals are not easily broken down in either the environment or human body, which is why they are often referred to as “forever chemicals.”Įxposure to them is linked to increased risk of health problems and certain cancers.The Sentinel 's predecessors date to 1876, when the Orange County Reporter was first published. Per- and polyfluoroalkyl compounds first came into use in the 1940s, and were widely used for their water-, grease- and stain-resistant properties. Other lawsuits are expected from those whose health problems are reportedly linked to the contamination. “Sappi is well known for its record of environmental stewardship at the Somerset mill and at all of its manufacturing facilities,” Karagiannis said, adding that Sappi has yet to be served with the lawsuit. Olga Karagiannis, a spokesperson for Sappi, said Monday afternoon that the company “strongly disputes” claims that “forever chemical” contamination originated from its Skowhegan mill. The lawsuit accuses Sappi’s Somerset Mill in Skowhegan of being the source of the contamination, claiming that the chemicals came from biosolids in the mill’s wastewater treatment plant that were spread as sludge. In January, chemical levels in Saunders’ well were measured at 12,910 parts per trillion, the Sentinel reported.
Environmental Protection Agency’s maximum limit of 70 parts per trillion, according to the newspaper.
Since 2020, the Maine Department of Environmental Protection has been investigating “forever chemical” contamination in Fairfield, where at least 29 wells have levels exceeding the U.S. That lawsuit, filed Friday in Somerset County Superior Court, is seeking an unspecified level of damages. The Waterville Morning Sentinel reported that attorney Brian Mahaney has filed a class-action lawsuit against Sappi North America on behalf of Nathan Saunders and others in Somerset County who have been exposed to per- and polyfluoroalkyl compounds. A Fairfield man alleges that a Skowhegan paper mill is the source of “forever chemicals” that have contaminated numerous area wells.
