New Portsmouth High School floor replaces decades old gym wood
Portsmouth High School is installing a new $240,000 hardwood maple gym floor in the Robert Woody Stone gym as part of a $40.5 million renovation. The old floor dated to 1956 and was removed after the ceiling and substructure were prepared. The three layered floor includes a plastic membrane, rubberized subfloor, and a one-inch plank surface, designed to reduce moisture damage and knee injuries. The project wraps up ahead of the Aug. 28 dedication, with completion targeted for Aug. 20.

Seabrook track ends year round racing
Seabrook Greyhound Park will discontinue live year round racing starting in late October, ending three decades of year round operations. About 70 employees will be laid off as the track closes for winter months, citing declining attendance and nearby expanded gambling options in Connecticut and Rhode Island. Edward Keelan, president of Yankee Greyhound Racing, attributed the decision to discussions and consultant input.
