FRYEBURG, Maine — The Fryeburg Recreation Department plans to open a teen center for students who attend Fryeburg Academy and the Molly Ockett School to use. The after-school program, which is being sponsored by Pequawket Valley Health Initiatives, is scheduled to begin Monday, Sept. 14.
In an interview Wednesday at the Field of Dreams complex, Rec Director Rick Buzzell said the center is for kids age 13-17. He said he “heard through the grapevine” that Chris Whitaker, founder and president of Pequawket Valley Health Initiatives, was looking to get a program like this going.
