Schools eye double sessions or year-round classes

Even with portable classrooms in place at the High School and Memorial School, school officials say the town needs 2,500 more seats. Double-sessions would mean a split school day. Some students would attend the “early” session and others the “late” session. This gets more students through the door.

LeVasseur out for the season

Joe LeVasseur, 19, of Peach Orchard Rd, broke his arm and will sit out the football season at University of Maine, where he was a strong candidate for middle linebacker.
