Splittin’ Wood Axe Throwing — the popular venue for entertainment and the sport of ax throwing — has moved just around the corner at the Lewiston Mall and is back open. Nearly four years ago, Christopher Nichols opened the only such venue in Lewiston and Auburn at 20 East Ave., Unit 10. It is now ensconced inside a new space at Unit 36. It sits next to the former Sliders and just down from the Family Dollar store.

After years of interim fixes and much debate and study, the Regional School Unit 4 directors voted unanimously Jan. 8 to close the school at 36 No Name Pond Road. Per state law, all three communities must vote against the closure for the school to remain open, but a single affirmative vote will lead to its closure.
