Saco board approves Mast Hill Road subdivision plans
Saco planning board on Thursday unanimously accepted Homeland Designs final subdivision plans for Mast Hill Road and approved the final plans for expanding the Saco Valley Shopping Center minus monuments to mark boundaries which will be added by July. Engineering rep William Adams said a survey crew will be on site. Landscaping will screen the area with evergreen shrubs and trees. A letter from the Department of Environmental Protection certified the center met requirements. Board member Robert Fenderson abstained on the mission pending pedestrian safety and sidewalks information. Philip Walker's final plans for a minor subdivision on Ash Swamp Road were accepted and approved as complete. Additional discussion covered an application by Pat and Mary.

Firecracker chaos marks Fourth of July in Biddeford and injuries
Historical Biddeford records recount a raucous 1888 Fourth of July with fireworks and accidents. Henry Tremblay, riding a new Texas horse bought at the Trotting Park auction, was injured when firecrackers spooked the horse and scraped skin off his face. Other incidents include men wounded by dynamite crackers, a nose-gouging firework, and a boy’s hand burned by a cannon cracker. Police struggled as crowds celebrated, while bands, parades, and local groups such as the Wharf Rats and Young America filled the streets. Additional notes describe 1890 firework excess, clubbed by officers, and ongoing social tensions between French and Irish youths.
