ANOTHER of Portland’s junior summer sports is back, with the Portland Surf Life Saving Club’s Nippers and Cadets programs starting this weekend with a come-and-try and registration day.

The program will run for 10 Sundays, beginning two weeks after the come-and-try day and ending on February 27 next year, with a break from December 19 to January 16 for Christmas.
