Biddeford High forfeits Westbrook Relays over truancy
Biddeford High School forfeited the Westbrook Relays after two relay team members were found truant. Brother Richard Hebert, the attendance supervisor, cited seniors absent on a sunny day as the cause. The girls team also faced transport issues when a miscount delayed buses, but teachers helped gather private cars to reach Saco for the meet. The piece also notes unrelated local racing and Legion baseball changes and the St Louis Alumni Association meeting set for June 18.

New Hampshire Senate approves tax break for racing tracks
The New Hampshire Senate approved a tax relief measure for dog and harness racing tracks to aid the Belmont greyhound track and counter competition from Massachusetts and Connecticut. The bill lowers the state share of daily handle under set thresholds and requires annual financial follow ups. The action aimed to reopen the Belmont track, with support from a family linked to the Rooney ownership interests, while critics warned against bailing out private business. The House quickly moved to consider the measure, with committees set for a Monday hearing.
