• See photos from the Western Maine Conference golf qualifier (pressherald.com) — Cape Elizabeth golfers Charlie Lampman and Ben Gallagher were among the competitors at Wednesday's Western Maine Conference golf qualifier at Natanis Golf Course in Vassalboro, playing for spots in next week's state championship. A photo gallery captures their swings alongside players from schools across the region, showcasing local student-athletes on a big stage for high school golf.
• Aging Maine schools are impacting students' education (wmtw.com) — Cape Elizabeth families are part of a broader Maine struggle with aging school buildings, including past temporary closures here because of mold.
