BETHEL Selectmen unanimously approved a request for the Telstar senior class to use the town common for its parade on Tuesday, June 8. Like last year, graduates will stand by their posters six feet apart while family and friends circle the common in their cars saluting the class.
With the boards approval, Telstar Prinicpal Mark Kenney said he will now contact the town fire department and the Oxford County Sheriffs Office about helping lead the parade and assisting with traffic control.
In other news, Brandon Merry from Maine Adaptive, a year-round recreation program for children and adults with disabilities, informed selectmen that the program plans to use the basketball court in town for pickle ball on some Friday mornings throughout the summer and into fall. The current dates run from early July to late October and Maine Adaptive would be using the courts from 9 a.m. to noon.
