Madison has scaled back its no-exception wash-before-you-launch anti-milfoil rule to ease the burden on kayakers and canoeists, while officials hope the new distinction will not leave motor boaters all wet.

Nearly two years to the day since Club Motorsports Inc. pulled its application from a local review board, the Derry developer will return to Tamworth next month to ask for permission to build its massively contentious high-performance driving club.

he company looking to build a $28 million private driving club for high-performance cars is mulling its options a week after being ordered by a judge to apply for a town wetlands permit.
