LEOMINSTER - Jim LeBlanc thinks small. As in replicas, that is.
Since retiring in 2011 after working 38 years as the senior custodian at Memorial Middle School in Fitchburg, LeBlanc has been creating replicas of Leominster landmarks, including his latest creation the historic train depot building in the city’s downtown.
“I thought the Leominster depot would be a good subject since it is a landmark in the town and a beautiful building,” he said.
The 1/32 scale replica, which LeBlanc built completely from scratch, lights up and is made from 2,000 handcrafted bricks. It took him roughly six months to make – 1,000 hours of time. LeBlanc said he is willing to part with it for $950.

POINT PLEASANT BORO – Recent COVID-19 cases compelled the Point Pleasant Boro School District to switch Memorial Middle School to all-remote this week.
In a letter to the district, Superintendent Vincent Smith said the district was notified that members of the Memorial Middle School community have tested positive for COVID-19.
The school administration and school nurse have contacted the Ocean County Health Department and families of the students involved to initiate contact tracing, he said.
Subscribe At this time, we are putting a pause on in-person learning at Memorial Middle School and will transition to full-time remote learning effective Dec. 21, 2020 through Dec. 23, 2020 to ensure the safety of our school community, he said.
