contested race for school board; vote on a controversial budget; and decide if the district’s teachers will get their first contract in four years.

Study: HIV patients can accept infected organs
(NY Times) — David Aldridge of Los Angeles had a kidney transplant in 2006, but he will soon need another. Like many people living with HIV, he suffers from kidney damage, either from the virus or from the life-saving medications that keep it at bay. Until recently, such patients did not receive transplants at all because doctors worried that their health was too compromised. Now they can get transplants, but organdonor waiting lists are long. And for Mr. Aldridge, 45, and other HIV patients, a potential source of kidneys and livers is off limits, because it is illegal to transplant organs from donors who test positive for the virus — even to others who test positive. But federal health officials and other experts are calling for repeal of the provision that bans such transplants, a 23-year-old amendment to the National Organ Transplant Act. “The clock is ticking more quickly for those who are HIV-positive,” said Dr. Dorry Segev, transplant surgery director of clinical research at Johns Hopkins and a co-author of a new study indicating that 500 to 600 HIV-infected livers and kidneys would become available each year if the law were changed.

Pakistan tells U.S. it must sharply cut CIA activities
Appeals court rules against Arizona law

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (NY Times) — Pakistan has demanded that the United States steeply reduce the number of Central Intelligence Agency operatives and Special Operations forces working in Pakistan, and that it put on hold C.I.A. drone strikes aimed at militants in northwest Pakistan, a sign of the near collapse of cooperation between the two testy allies.
The demand that the United States scale back its presence is the immediate fallout of the arrest in Pakistan of Raymond A. Davis, a C.I.A. security officer who killed two men in broad daylight during a mugging in January, Pakistani and American officials said in interviews. In all, about 335 American personnel — C.I.A. officers and contractors and Special
Operations forces — were being asked to leave the country, said a Pakistani official closely involved in the decision. The cuts threatened to badly hamper American efforts — either through drone strikes or Pakistani military training — to combat militants who use Pakistan as a base to fight American forces in Afghanistan and plot terrorist attacks abroad.
Former leader of Ivory Coast captured ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast (NY Times) — The strongman of Ivory Coast, Laurent Gbagbo, was captured on Monday after a week-long siege of his residence and placed under the control of his rival claimant to power, according to French and United Nations officials. Troops loyal to Alassane Ouattara, the internationally recognized winner of Ivory Coast’s presidential election last year, had pressed toward the residence where Mr. Gbagbo had been holed up for days. According to French officials, Mr. Gbagbo surrendered at the entrance to
the residence, while four French Gazelle helicopters swirled around the area. “It is my pleasure to announce officially that the former president of Cote d’Ivoire, Laurent Gbagbo, has been arrested,” said Youssoufou Bamba, Mr. Ouattara’s representative to the United Nations. “He is alive and he will be brought to justice to respond to the crimes he committed. In this way, the Cote d’Ivoire reaches the end of its tragedy, of its nightmare. “His era is over,” Mr. Bamba added, saying Mr. Gbagbo was now “under our custody.”
PHOENIX (NY Times) — The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against the state of Arizona on Monday and let stand a lower court decision blocking the most contentious parts of the state’s immigration law from going into effect. The decision calling the provisions unconstitutional was a victory for the Obama administration, which sued to challenge the law, known as Senate Bill 1070, because it interfered with the federal government’s authority over immigration. Last July, just days before the law was set to take effect, U.S. District Court Judge Susan Bolton issued an injunction blocking parts of it. Gov. Jan Brewer, a supporter of the crackdown, had filed an appeal seeking to have the injunction lifted. After the appeals court rejected the state’s request on Monday and issued a lengthy decision indicating it believed the state had overstepped its authority, State Senator Russell Pearce, the principal sponsor of the law, remained defiant, saying the issue would ultimately be decided by the Supreme Court.

Main Street program breathing new life in downtowns across state BY NANCY BEAN FOSTER THE UNION LEADER
Keeping downtown areas vibrant and making them attractive centers of commerce and community are the goals behind Main Street programs. Towns across the state will celebrate their success on Tuesday, Main Street Day. The Main Street program, administered by the National Trust, began in New Hampshire in 1997 with the communities of Littleton and Milford, which had already begun efforts to revitalize their downtowns. The program has spread to Concord, Dover, Goffstown, Jaffrey, Lisbon, Meredith, Ossipee, Rochester and Wilton. In Milford, according to Tracy Bardsley, director of the town’s Main Street program, the downtown area was falling victim to neglect. The town hall had been condemned by the fire marshal, shops were shuttered, and businesses had simply vanished. Once on the verge of being condemned, the Milford Town Hall is a centerpiece of a downtown that has seen marked improvement because of the Main Street program. In 1992, a group of citizens decided that the Milford Oval was too precious to lose and concerted efforts began to breathe new life into downtown. The Milford Downtown Ongoing Improvement Team (DO-IT) was formed. In 1998, it was recognized by the National Trust as a New Hampshire Main Street Community by establishing a board of directors and committees to carry out plans, and by raising funds to support the program, among other requirements. The town agreed to adopt the National Trust’s four-point plan to restore the downtown area. That included economic restructuring, orga-
nization, design and promotion. “The idea behind making the downtown as attractive as possible is really simple — people and businesses want to be in a location that is attractive, safe, pedestrian-friendly,” said Bardsley. “It spurs economic development because commercial and industrial interests want to locate in that environment, real estate values increase or maintain their appreciation, and the town becomes a destination for visitors for unique retail shops and dining.” But while some businesses are flourishing thanks to the help of their Main Street programs; others are struggling. In Wilton, for instance, the new sidewalks and pocket park haven’t resulted in a flood of new customers, said Marie Fortier, owner of the Here Today Emporium. “We’re still struggling to get people to come in,” she said. “I was so gung ho when the Main Street program started, but now I’m not sure it really works.” The Route 101 bypass has led to a quiet Main Street and struggling businesses, Fortier said. But Richard Putnam, Fortier’s neighbor on Main Street, said the concept of the Main Street program is great. What’s lacking, he said, is volunteers to make the program work. In Goffstown, Steve Pascucci owner of the Village Trestle restaurant and bar, echoed Putnam’s sentiments. “The businesses aren’t working together,” said Pascucci. “There’s not a whole lot of participation. We need to come together as a Main Street unit.” On Tuesday, the towns that participate in the Main Street program will share their methodology for community revitalization during a daylong conference, evening showcase and reception at the Red River Theatre in Concord.

School Budget Warrant Article #5
Recommend voting against the School Board Budget
based upon a review of the financial and educational impacts • Approval of the proposed School Board Budget would likely result in a series of costly lawsuits, with no assurance that existing academic programs would be funded • The community and administration have publicly supported fully funding the original School Boardʼs Budget based on what will best serve the needs of our students and community • Voting NO on the School Board Budget, will be voting YES to the Default Budget, which would be the best option to fully fund the original School Board Budget and avoid lawsuits and arbitrary cuts by the NH Department of Revenue Administration • School Board Members have pledged not to spend any additional funds from the Default Budget, should the additional $190,000 be approved it would be returned to the town
Teachers’ Contract Warrant Article #7
Mark F. Porter, 434 Davis Hill Road Center Conway, NH 03813
Recommend voting in favor of the Teachersʼ Contract
based upon a review of the financial and educational impacts
• The proposed Teachersʼ Contract represents an increase of 1.09%, after two years without raises or cost of living adjustments • The proposed contract would increase starting salaries to attract better teachers, limit salary increases for senior teachers, and start to constrain healthcare costs by means of higher co-pays for services and prescriptions •The current starting salary at Kennett is the lowest of all K-12 school districts in NH. The proposed starting salary would be 147th out of 158, still $4,603 (20%) below the stateʼs average starting salary • The proposed Teachersʼ Contract would be the first in the state with a deductible plan, resulting in substantial future savings, even assuming town funding of the deductible for some teachers

Charles would make careful decisions To the editor: We are writing in support of Brian Charles as a candidate for budget committee. We have known Brian and his family for eight years, and in that time have always found him to be thoughtful, considerate, and insightful. He is a respected and successful business owner in Conway and has worked on a number of boards and committees. As a budget committee member, Brian would
listen to people’s needs and make careful decisions. The long term welfare of Conway citizens would be his goal. We have lived in Conway and Tamworth, but currently live in Madison. We are happy to call Brian and his family friends, and we are sure that Conway voters would be well served with Brian Charles as a budget committee member. Glynis Knox Alec Behr
Serious deliberation needed to find balance To the editor: This year, for the second year in a row, and the first time this ever happened, individuals on Social Security received no cost of living increase. One wonders what the Conway School Board and its supporters would do if they had to live under those same restrictions regarding the school budget, especially after their performance at the town hall meeting last month. Remarks by those playing to the gallery, and from those who appeared to hear only what they wanted to hear, do not lead to an atmosphere in which serious deliberation is possible. And, serious deliberation is needed to find a balance in what taxpayers can reasonably afford and what schools need. Taxpayers are the employers of those who work in the Conway school system, and as such they have every right to ask why more money is warranted in
light of decreasing enrollment and rather dismal NECAP scores. I am extremely grateful for the Ray Shakirs of this world who ask these uncomfortable questions, and thereby risk the public no-holdsbarred derision proponents of an ever-increasing school budget have shown they are capable of heaping on one who is not in lockstep with their desires. In 1734, Benjamin Franklin asserted in Poor Richard’s Almanack, “Nothing but money is sweeter than honey.” Democracy lends itself to — at times require — civil friction; however, while engaged in that kind of discourse and with a great many Conway taxpayers facing tighter budgets, it seems the school board and proponents of a larger school budget must consider having a little honey.

No reason whatsoever to single out McLauchlan for making motion To the editor: I just finished reading the editorial titled “Gamed” (April 8, 2011), and although I can appreciate the importance of the topic, I see no reason whatsoever to single out Janine McLauchlan. The editorial leads the reader to assume that she single handedly made the motion to restore the 11 percent cut, and it all but blames her and her alone for creating the mess we’re in. The entire Conway School Board as a whole decided to make that motion, and since every member can’t speak at once, one person had to speak as a representative of the board — and that was the
chairperson — Janine McLauchlan. Her motion was made on behalf of the school board, and to make it appear as if she acted alone is irresponsible and unfair. Let’s not forget who really is to blame for all this — the handful of men on the budget committee whose decision making process regarding the school budget was comparable to drawing a number out of a hat. There is a saying: “Don’t shoot the messenger.” Well that is what The Conway Daily Sun has done — and at point blank range. Julie James Center Conway

Tele-Talk
What’s the most important vote you will cast on Tuesday? There were 16 responses to this week’s Tele-Talk question: “What’s the most important vote you will cast on Tuesday?” Four people said the warrant article for two new police officers was most important; four said the vote on the school budget was most important and one said the teacher’s contract was most important. Among elections, two said the budget committee elections topped the list; one said selectmen’s elections and one said library trustee elections. One said the lack of civility in the school deliberative meeting was most important and they would vote against that and one said removal of narrow-minded officials was critical and would direct their votes. One person said all the issues are important and the important thing is to get as many people to vote as possible. About the two new police officers they want to hire, I hope the voters realize that they’ve got to include new cruisers for our insurance and pension plans and stuff like that. So I hope they listen to them and pay attention to what they’re voting for. I think the town of Conway and our town fathers and the people who are running the town should start listening to the federal government. They’re beginning to shut down. Next the state’s going to be shutting down, and then the town; all the town will be laying people off because there’s no taxpayers can foot all these bills any more. There’s no room for the people And they better start looking at the big picture before it’s too late. This is Center Conway. On pages 14 and 15 of The Conway Daily Sun weekend edition appears yet another article about the school budget, this time over a two page add for the N.H. Liquor an Wine Outlet’s liter sale. Point taken. On Tuesday, before my stop at the liquor store, I will be voting no in favor of the default school budget. But most importantly, I will be writing my own name in for every contested seat, knowing that whatever happens in 2011, I will have only myself to blame. I believe the most important vote that anyone’s going to make on Tuesday, they’ll be unable to vote, because
the school budget you have no idea what to vote on and to me that’s the most important vote that would be coming up on Tuesday. Patricia Swett. I just want to say the teacher’s contract. And they agreed to a $500 deductible, but if you read on they get their $500 back, so there’s really no deductible for the insurance at all, so it’s still going to cost taxpayers money. The Conway Daily Sun has missed the obvious: It’s not which race is most important, it’s that all races are important. I don’t know how many registered voters we have in town, but I’ll be surprised if 50 percent of them will get off their generous bottoms to show up on Tuesday. First the Sun endorsed an incumbent candidate that wanted the streetlights turned off in front of one of the schools. Heaven help us since the other candidates must be horrible people. Perhaps the Sun is looking for Mr. Drinkhall to introduce pay toilets in a hospital diarrhea ward to raise additional revenue. Then there’s the endorsement of a current teacher for school board, who has graciously stated that he will resign his teaching position if elected. I suppose he wants that both ways. I wonder if he keeps his teacher union membership in his pocket while he votes on school, teacher and financial issues. We have one teacher who’s wife is already a Kennett employee, another makes her living with special education. Who do you believe is supposed to make the schools accountable, to check up on them? Then the budget committee: Regardless of which side of the fence you’re on regarding school, there remains the current chair staying on until after the election and then resigning. I wonder why that’s happening? Yet others on the board who are not up for election are probably most responsible for the nitpicking boorish performance last year over the town garage. If the current garage bond passes, we’ll be over $450,000 in repairs to a 60-year old building. Thanks very much you obstinate people. No time to talk about warrant articles about police, maintenance, repair roofs etc. In summary I’ve given you three races any of which could raise significant fallout in
the community. We have got to get our acts in gear we have to get out there to vote. I am against the two more police officers and the new garage roof tops. The two extra officers are going to cost the town $75,000 and I’m going to vote against this. We do not need more police officers. The most important thing that I’ll vote for on Tuesday is for the school budget and the most important vote that I won’t cast is for Syndi White. My most important vote on Tuesday will be for four people for the threeyear position on the budget committee. When you consider the financial condition of the United States 43 percent of expenses covered by borrowed money, the only answer is the election of the following conservatives: Bill Marvel, Linda Teagen, Theresa Gallagher and Terry McCarthy. This is Douglas Swett. The two important votes are the library trustee and the two police officers, library trustee because I will do anything to make sure that Mr. Marvel is not voted on that board. Those ladies who work in that library are too nice people to have to be inflicted on by this William Marvel. Now as far as the two additional police, I’m going to say no, do not vote for these two police, because something must be done to stop the proliferation of these Dunkin Donuts in town. This must be brought to a halt. My most important action will be taken as a vote against the bullying and lack of civility I witnessed at the school deliberative meeting. I shall vote for the school budget BUT against those people who condoned and participated in this collective thuggery and who have just ONE agenda, namely to increase the budgets without regard to the impact on the tax payers. In this connection, I shall vote AGAINST Kelly DeFeo, Betty Loynd, Syndi White, Maury McKinney, Stacy Sand, John Skelton, Brian Charles, Jason Fougere (who insulted the voters by not even bothering to provide information about himself to The Conway Daily Sun), Mike Boucher, moderator Doug Burnell who did nothing to stop the madness, and Melissa Stacey.
When people call someone “Hitler” at a deliberative meeting and then cloak themselves under the respectability of a so-called group interest in our children and then tell me how I should vote, I get my back up right quick. Thank you but I can decide for myself, and thanks to your toxic actions, I have. Conway. The budget committee vote is the most important vote! The school budget has doubled in 10 years. Now it’s $33 million! And what do we have? Results that are not commensurate with that doubling, outrageous property taxes, and a community divided! Thanks, Nelson. Thanks, teachers union. Thanks, school board. And now we have several candidates, regardless of what they state publicly, and regardless of what is being written about them by their friends, who are nothing more than rubber stamps for the school board. That spells trouble! The budget committee must continue to maintain common sense. A vote for common sense is not a vote against education. On the contrary, conservatives care deeply about education! You simply can’t continue to mindlessly throw money at the system; it isn’t working. I beg all Conway voters, please vote for William Marvel, Linda Teagan, Terry McCarthy and Theresa Gallagher. It’s to important not to! I will vote early, often, and at multiple locations in favor of funding two additional cops for the Conway Police Department. This is Ralph in Eaton. The following Tele-Talk responses were posted on The Conway Daily Sun’s Facebook page: A vote against the proposed school budget, which is a vote for the default budget, which greatly increases the chances that the budget will not be unfairly cut by the DRA. Also has the greatest chance of avoiding costly legal fees. Thank you to the budget committee for putting “not recommended by” on the ballot for the school budget. You have basically recommended the default budget for all those voters who blindly follow your lead. For new selectwomen. For my children’s futures and to remove hateful narrow-minded officials.

Since passage of Taft-Hartley Act at end of Roosevelt presidency, it is against federal law to force anyone to join union To the editor: Frank McCarthy’s column in the April 8 edition of The Conway Daily Sun titled, “Who pays for it?” had some erroneous information that I feel needs to be cleared up with real facts. Mr. McCarthy spoke with either misinformation he had heard, a disregard for the facts if he did know them, or simply spouting the party line we hear so much about in the news lately. In bold print the Sun quotes him stating, “It is unconscionable that any worker in this great state should have to pay union dues whether he or she is a union member or not, just to keep their job. The facts are that since the passage of The Taft-Hartley Act at the end of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s presidency, it is against federal law to force anyone to join a union.
Under current New Hampshire law, no one has been forced to join a union. I believe this law certainly makes it clear, regardless of what Mr. McCarthy incorrectly states, that no one has to pay union dues just to keep their job. Another fact Mr. McCarthy failed to mention is that Right to Work laws negatively impact salaries and the state economy. The average employee in states with these laws makes $5, 538 a year less than workers in other states: 28.3 percent of jobs are low wage occupations, compared with 19.5 percent of jobs in non-Right-toWork states. New Hampshire has fewer people living in poverty, more people with health coverage, and stronger workplace safety and health laws. In other words, New Hampshire is a healthier and safer
place to live and work than those states with Right to Work laws. The Right to Work law also takes away local control by placing the legislature between public employers and their employees, causing undue state government interference in their bargaining process. This runs counter to New Hampshire’s long tradition of local control and the legislature should let towns and school districts make the decisions where they belong -— in their communities. Lastly, Right to Work laws have a disproportionate impact on women workers who benefit most from union membership. Women workers in unions earn $212 more each week than non-union women. Union membership narrows the gap between men and women from
19.8 percent nationwide to 12.2 percent among unionized women. My last comment to Rep. Frank McCarthy is to quote an old English proverb. “Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones.” Calling elected officials, of which you are one now, “morons,” is very disrespectful but you also imply that voters of this valley are also morons due to the fact they voted to approve contracts over the years. The contracts I have been involved with over the years were certainly not approved by morons. Instead the contracts were bargained in good faith with agreement from both sides and voted on by well informed voters. Curtis Finney, president Conway Education Association Jackson

Special interest individuals may be out to take control
Conway school budget: Finding a better way in 2012
To the editor: Pay attention voters, special interest individuals may be out to take control of the municipal budget committee for the purpose of implementing their own special interest agendas! The primary responsibility of the 12 elected members-at-large is to keep the financial burden on all taxpayers within manageable proportions, keeping in mind the financial climate we find ourselves in. It appears to me that a number of the candidates running for town offices including the budget committee have personal interests and ties to education. The question I have is, is this a concerted effort by the Conway School System to gain control of the budget committee for the purpose of rubber stamping the submitted school budget in the future? Keep in mind: 1. 66 to 69 percent of Conway’s tax rate has gone to our local schools (Source: Town) 2. 50 percent (plus or minus) of the residential property owners live out of state. (Source: Town) 3. The Conway District School System had a $1,360,910 surplus for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009 and a $762,415 surplus for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2010. (Source: Sept. 9, 2010 director of budget and finance’s year end summary) The points being, the Conway School District’s total surplus for the two
To the editor: Will our town’s public education system be better off with the proposed school budget? Do we truly understand how our schools will use these funds to improve academic performance? Do taxpayers know what the budget’s impact will be on their property tax bills and town services in 2011 and future years? It’s pretty clear that this year’s school budget process was and continues to be a fiasco. The process has been a long, drawn-out, inefficient and emotional event that is consuming an enormous amount of time, money, as well as town and school people resources. Many wellintentioned people who have worked hard and long hours were unjustly attacked and criticized throughout the process. It would be far more productive to attack the school budget process and not attack the people trying to carry out their responsibilities. First and foremost, we must sincerely recognize that the budget committee, school board, school administration, selectmen, and other participants all have good intentions. Everyone is putting in a lot of time and their best efforts to do what is right for both our children and the town as a whole. The first step to a successful school budget process is having a credible short and long-term strategy and plan as to exactly how our schools will achieve both academic excellence and operational efficiency. The strategy, plan, goals, and objectives must be clearly communicated and understood to gain broad buy-in by the community as a whole. The strategy and plan provide the road map as to how, where and when money will be invested, as well as when cost savings and reductions will be achieved. The plan must also provide a credible return-on-investment and returnon-assets financial model to enable a more meaningful, business-like decision process to determine budget increases and decreases. The next step to improve the school budget process is to have a credible assessment of the current state of the efficiency and effectiveness of school operations. Some school districts are contracting specialized consulting organizations to carry out operational audits to provide them with an objective assessment of their operations. For example, the Hamilton-Wenham Regional School District in Massachusetts discovered that it was spending $2 million to $4 million more than other higher performing school districts. To determine the root cause of this variance the towns in partnership with the school district contracted Evergreen Solutions, LLC to conduct an operational audit. The cost of the audit was approximately $90,000. It identified 124 recommendations and an estimated $16.3 million in savings over a five-year period. The results of the audit were posted on the school district’s website. The audit was written up in local newspapers and also appeared in the Jan. 27 edition of the Boston Globe under the title “Hamilton-Wenham School Audit sees $16.3m in Savings.” The following is a brief overview of the purpose and scope of the audit: (Reference Ever-
years ending June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2010 was $2,123,325*. What gave me heartburn was the fact that the June 30, 2009 surplus of $1,360,910 (bond principal/interest decrease) was not used to offset our tax rate, rather it was absorbed into the school operating budget (Sources: page 32, Conway School District Annual Report for 2009 and school deliberative session handout dated March 1, 2010, page 8). The second part is that $1.3 million came from the 5100 debt service account (principal 5110 and interest 5120) I would consider these funds as dedicated and could not be used for other purposes without the voters approval. *Note: The $762,415 was put back in to offset the school tax rate. 4. The adopted budget for the Conway School District as of June 30, 2010 was $31,342,656 while actual expenses were $30,676,081 during the same time period (Source: Sept. 9, 2010 year end summary.) 5. Only 14 percent (plus or minus)** of Conway’s population personally benefit from our elementary and secondary educational system. **Note: Percentage is based upon Conway’s total population of 9,200 (plus or minus) (Source: Town) and student population of 1300 (plus or minus). (Source: SAU 9). However, I personally believe we all benefit from having a well-educated population! Bill Masters Conway
Seavey and White would make terrific selectmen To the editor: Conway voters have an unusual opportunity to make significant changes to the make up of the boards that govern our town. There are many good candidates for all the offices. The budget committee is getting most of the attention, but the board of selectmen would also benefit from a fresh perspective. Dave Weathers has done a decent job, but if you believe in term limits,
then 10 years is long enough. Bob Drinkhall is extreme in his views and his votes, he is getting worse every re-election, and does not deserve a seat at the table any longer. Mary Seavey and Syndi White would make terrific selectmen. They will change the tone at town hall and bring intelligent, thoughtful debate and a view to the future. Vote for change.

200 people turned out for Spring Fling and Art Show To the editor: Conway Elementary School and Project Succeed hosted its annual Spring Fling and Art Show on Thursday March 31. We had a turnout of over 200 people! Parents and children enjoyed a nice pasta dinner followed by parent workshops. The workshops were: bullying and harassment, interactive reading, kindergarten readiness, everyday math, and computers/ technology. While the adults attending their workshops, children under 7 had fun in the library with games and activities and kids older than 8 were in the gym playing structured games. To end the night, the kids from Project Succeed wowed us with their talents. We had a sign language performance, a puppet show, and three hip hop performances. Amidst all of it, Peg Cromwell put

green Solutions, LLC website (www. consultevergreen.com). The purpose of the audit was to complete an external review of the efficiency of departments and operations within the schools and to present a report of the findings, commendations, recommendations, projected costs and or cost savings associated with the recommendations. The audit’s objective was to ensure that non-instructional functions were operating efficiently and to identify short- and long-term savings that can be gained through the implementation of best practices. Existing and potential collaboration, regionalization and cost sharing efforts were reviewed and identified to ensure that school operations are being conducted as efficiently and effectively as possible. The audit examined the efficiency of instructional services with the goal of providing guidance in determining whether educational dollars are being utilized to the fullest extent possible; and identified recommendations to reduce costs while maintaining or improving the quality of education. The audit teams reviewed: personnel policies and procedures including compensation, benefits, and the staff performance evaluation process; union contract negotiations, procedures, and management; staffing levels, allocations, composition, ratios, and policies and procedures; accounting processes; IT systems; school committee costs and reporting; and elementary level grade and class configuration. The audit reviewed policy, procedures, practices and controls in the areas of time keeping, purchasing, inventory control, curriculum, special education, traffic, cafeteria, medical, athletics, and extracurricular programs. The school district is now using these recommendations to position itself to become more competitive and cutting-edge so as to take on the challenges of the 21st century. The audit provided the towns with data that not only identified cost savings, but also recognized areas that were performing well and where additional funding is needed to improve academic performance and achieve operational efficiencies. Finally, we need to recognize that we are all on the same team. Our best chance for success is to work together as a community towards a set of common goals and objectives, and to treat each other respectfully as we work our way through some very challenging and trying economic times. There is nothing really new here, these are simply good business practices that well managed businesses and organizations, including school districts, have practiced for several years. I strongly encourage our school board, budget committee and school administration to contact both the Hamilton-Wenham Regional School District and Evergreen Solutions to better understand their approach and outcomes and how these “best practices” may be applied to improving our school budget process, academic performance and overall operational efficiency.

eliminated for the 2011-12 school year if funding is not available. School Superintendent Carl Nelson confirmed Friday the letters were sent out. He said the reductions stem from federal, state and local funding. Under contract, any employee within the district who may not be retained for the following school year must be notified in writing by April 15. “We have not received any notice from the federal or state government on whether we’ll be receiving any IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) or Title I or class size reduction funds and we’ve been told to not assume that we will be getting any,” he said. “We may not find out until sometime in May. There were a number of grant-funded positions that we are uncertain if we’ll get them.” Nelson said the district also must be prepared for a funding shortage in the state retirement system. “The board has to make provisions within the budget in the event that as the governor has stated that the state will no longer continue to contribute 35 percent to the state retirement fund,” Nelson said. “In Conway’s case that equates to $428,000 (for this upcoming year). I don’t think it will happen, but we have to make provisions to send funding to the retirement system. The retirement system was funded at 35 percent two years ago and reduced to 25 percent this past year with the towns having to pick up the

Now Governor John Lynch is proposing not to fund the system, putting the entire financial burden on towns. “I know there is a proposal on the House floor that would keep funding at 25 percent,” Nelson said. “We won’t know what money is available until June.” Nelson said the third factor is the school budget and whether it will be subject to a New Hampshire Department of Revenue Administration cut should it rule only 10 percent can be restored to the budget rather than the 11 percent the Conway School Board sought last month. “The other piece is if the DRA imposes the 10 percent rule, which I believe it will, and start eating up warrant articles until it gets to the budget, totaling $829,000,” Nelson said. “The board does have some possible challenge options along the way. Attorney (John) Teague has raised the issue of did the budget committee do its work properly.” Nelson said the DRA could rule that the default budget may be subject to a 10 percent cut, too. “That’s the big unknown,” he said. “It’s never happened before in the state.” Nelson and district administrators spent a great deal of time on the Reduction In Force letters. “Some districts simply give everyone a RIF letter,” Nelson explained, “We spent the time trying to identify the right people and make sure we see PINK SLIPS page 10

could cover programs. We spent a considerable amount of time on this.” Under the school policy, the newest members of staff and teachers would be the first ones to be let go. Should a teaching position be cut, if the teacher who holds that spot has seniority over another teacher, the newer one could be bumped out of a job. “It is very, very cumbersome, but I think we’ve done an excellent job in handling it,” Nelson said. “In one case we had to go back to 2005 board meeting minutes and look at the agenda to see who came first, second and third on the agenda that night. The person who was hired first that night had more seniority than the other two people.” Nelson said there is no magic date when he will know for certain what staffing he can bring back. “We have to wait until the federal government has a budget and can tell the states what their allocation is and then the states will tell the districts what we have for funds,” he said. “As for the state retirement, the state has to set its budget by the end of June.” The $829,000 from the budget could be the quickest timeline. “It depends which budget is approved on Tuesday (voting in Conway from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Conway Community Building in Center Conway),” Nelson explained. “If the regular budget passes and the DRA decides to make the cut, then the board has to make the determination if it wants to make this a legal matter. I’m 99 percent sure the DRA will

The person who was hired first that night had more seniority than the other two people.” apply the 10 percent rule. “If the budget is voted down and we get the default budget (which is roughly $190,000 more than the proposed $33.3 million school board budget),” he continued, “the DRA has to make a decision if the 10 percent rule applies to it. They will ask the Attorney General’s Office for a ruling and we’ve been told that could happen within 20 days.” If the Attorney General’s Office rules the 10 percent doesn’t apply to the default budget, then the district would have $829,000 back into the budget. “If the AG’s Office rules (the 10 percent does apply) we could then challenge it in court,” Nelson said. “We would have to decide who we take legal action against, the budget committee or the DRA. Everything is not as clear as we’d like it to be.” Nelson hopes everything works out for the employees. “We have a great staff,” he said. “It’s disappointing if we lose people, particularly if it’s beyond our control.”

year before,” she said by phone, Monday. “I’m sure we’ll double last year’s turnout. We’ve printed 3,000 town and 3,000 school ballots and can get more if needed. Given the number of candidates we’re expecting a very busy day.” With a record field entered in some of the races, it could be a good thing for the ballot counters. “With so many contested races I think that means we’ll get a lot fewer writeins this year,” Quint said, of the rite-ins which must be counted by hand. A movement is afoot to have people vote against the school budget (warrant article No. 5) in favor of the default budget, which is some $190,000 more than the $3.3 million the Conway School Board is proposing. Selectman Michael DiGregorio and the Mount Washington Valley Coalition for Educational Excellence both last week came out against the school budget, urging citizens to vote no. They believe this may be the best avenue to avoid a legal battle. “My intent is to vote no on the budget on April 12 in hopes that we get to the default budget,” DiGregorio said. “I know there are other people who plan to do that in hopes that we end up out of the court system. I’m pretty sure that’s what will happen if the proposed budget passes and the (New Hampshire Department of Revenue Administration) starts cutting. “As a selectman of the town,” he continued, “I have no intention of putting one entity up against another one. The only ones who are going to win there are the lawyers. No one can answer
the question whether it will be a legal battle between the school and the DRA attorneys or the school and the budget committee, which would be the selectmen who have to determine if they’ll defend it. I for one don’t want to fight another entity in town. We’d be paying twice.” On Tuesday’s ballot, under warrant Article No. 5, the budget has the support of the school board, 6-1, while the budget committee is not recommending the article, 2-6. Article No. 7 on the school warrant is for a one-year collective bargaining agreement between the school board and the Conway Education Association (teachers) for the 2011-12 school year to fund employee salaries and benefits for $147,419. Last year the contract figure was for $255,436 and it failed by five votes. A recount proved the Conway voting machines spot on as the five-vote margin was upheld. The teachers’ union is currently working under the terms of the 2008-09 agreement. The school board and the teachers’ union agreed in January to ratify a proposed contract for the 2011-12 school year. Key to the agreement may have been movement on health insurance with the teachers’ union agreeing to switch from a zero deductible to a district-covered $500 health-insurance deductible. The move will not only save taxpayers an estimated $345,000 in health insurance costs (although there is an overall increase in health costs due to a jump see VOTE page 12

Voters to elect two selectmen, decide on funding for more police officers BY ERIK EISELE THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
CONWAY — Voters go to the polls today to elect two selectmen and to make decisions about adding new police officers and whether the town garage should get a new roof. The town’s operating budget should be a shoe-in, considering it’s almost $45,000 less than the default budget. There are nine candidates after two selectman seats. Incumbents Bob Drinkhall and David Weathers are both looking to hold their titles, while Michael Boucher, Wayne Brett, Scott Lees, Harley Lowd, Stacy Sand, Mary Seavey and Syndi White are all looking to unseat them. Steven Bush and Daniel Bacon are also on the ballot, but both men have dropped out of the race. This is the most candidates that have ever run at one time for selectman. The police department, meanwhile, has been making the case for months they need more officers. The funding for one officer is already included in the town’s budget, but the department is looking for two more. The new officer already in the budget will cost
$37,500 for the rest of this year. A warrant article is on the ballot for $75,000 to hire two more officers the same time. The yearly cost of one officer is roughtly $75,000, but they wouldn’t be hired until halfway through 2011. Next year the department will have to add another $37,500 for the one officer already in their budget. If the warrant article passes the department will need to add another $150,000 to cover the full costs of the two new officers, for a total increase of $187,500. The police budget is up 7 percent in 2011, from $2.6 million to $2.8 million. If the warrant passes their budget will be around $3 million in 2012. The town garage, meanwhile, is projected to cut costs over time, not increase them. The town is looking for $230,000 to install new windows, insulate and put a new roof on the town garage.

The town already renovated the heating, electrical and ventilation systems, redid the floors and more. The roof, windows and insulation are the final phase of the project. If the garage warrant passes the total cost of the renovation will be about $450,000, but this round of improvements should drastically reduce heating costs. The resulting savings would likely pay for the improvement in 15 to 20 years, according to the town, possibly sooner if the price of oil continues to skyrocket. Estimates late last year were the town would save between $7,000 and $10,000 a year in fuel expenses with a new roof, but that was before the latest spike in oil prices.

Five vying for three school board seats CONWAY — There are five candidates running for three three-year seats on the Conway School Board. Incumbents Rick Breton and Janine McLauchlan are seeking second terms while Alana Starkey, who was appointed last summer to fill out Kelley Murphy’s term, is running along with former budget committee chairman Melissa Stacey and former teacher John Skelton. Each of the candidates was asked why they are running for office. Starkey: “I am running for school board because I ran last year and received over 500 votes but did not secure my position. Having been voted in by the current board when Kelley Murphy’s position became available last summer, I’m just getting my feet wet and would like to continue to advocate for the students, educators and residents of Conway to provide a well-rounded education to our students, support the teachers and administrators of our fine schools at a cost that our residents can afford, which is not easy in this economy. I feel very lucky and privileged to work as a team member with Ms. McLauchlan, Mr. Klement, Mr. Davison, Ms. White, Ms. Breton and Ms. Brydon.” McLauchlan: “I am running for re-election to the Conway School Board because I feel there is still a lot I can offer as a member of the board. I have enjoyed being involved in the planning and decisionmaking process that is the basis of our education system. I feel that I bring an honest and commonsense approach to all decisions and would like to continue to offer my service to the district.” Skelton: “I am running for school board because I feel gratitude for a public education from a supportive town that provided excellence in my first 12 years of schooling, at a cost and efficiency which was sustainable by the community. Conway and the valley face challenges which potentially mean that less of an education will be provided for future students than I was privileged to receive. I have a firm grasp of local issues and will present creative, fiscally prudent solutions to our educational challenges.”

Breton: “I’m running in the hope of finding a common ground where the whole community can come together and coexist and continue to educate our children in the best and most economical way possible.” Stacey: “Felt the children needed an advocate.” Each was asked what they would like to accomplish as a school board member. Stacey: “To reestablish a relationship with the town and to help retain the school budget at a fiscally responsible level while not hurting education.” Breton: “A quality education is essential in today’s environment. Young men and women are competing in job markets that have become cutthroat. They need to make sure that they stand out above the others they are competing against, and they can’t do this unless they are properly educated. We need to make sure that our standards of education remain current with the changing times. We need to keep technology updated and all of our teachers well informed. We need to accomplish all of this with little or no expense to the taxpayers, and that will not be an easy task.” Skelton: “1. Change the tone and quality of public discourse surrounding our schools and financing issues by providing openness, honesty and integrity, foresight and long-term vision. “2. Promote a top-quality public education for all students of all abilities in our schools, while improving efficiencies and providing fiscal prudence. “3. Encourage a management style which is open, empowering and engaging the support of all elements of community.” McLauchlan: “I would like to make sure that every student in the district has the opportunity for a great education and that every taxpayer feels that their tax money is being spent wisely.” Starkey: “As a school board member I would like to continue to support positive communication between all taxpayers in Conway through data, intelligent discussions without fear or intimidation resulting in a positive outcome for an excellent education for each child in Conway and sending towns.”

Smoldering cigarette causes deck fire at Saco Woods BY TOM EASTMAN
out a fire extinguisher. They said they then ran to the condominium below, knocked on the door, and ran inside when the renters let them in. They then grabbed a second extinguisher from the second floor to combat the fire. Although Solomon said it took two fire extinguishers, Ben said he used four to put the fire out. Firefighters poured water on the hot areas and also threw carpet fragments and wood onto the ground below. Condominium residents were awakened by the fire alarm and hurried outside, where many huddled in their bedclothes as they watched firefighters arrive. They were let back into their units approximately an hour later at 8 a.m. Saco Woods was built in 1988. It contains four buildings, each containing 24 units. Cigarette smoking is currently allowed in the buildings, but many residents gathered outside Monday morning said they would like to see E.G. Chandler, the property management company, put a nosmoking policy into effect with a vote by the condo owners association.
THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
CONWAY — A small fire caused by a smoldering cigarette butt in an outdoor deck carpet of a second-floor rented condominium in Building 4 of Saco Woods in Center Conway was extinguished by an alert neighbor who was then assisted by Conway and North Conway firefighters early Monday morning. “From all appearances, it was caused by a burning cigarette,” said Conway Fire Chief Steve Solomon at the scene. “A resident [from upstairs] was able to extinguish it with two fire extinguishers.” He said when firefighters shook the carpet on the deck, many old cigarette butts fell out, indicating that the resident frequently smoked outside on the deck. The condominium — Unit 84 — is owned by Bob Bernhardt and is rented. Responding were firefighters and six firefighting vehicles from Conway and North Conway fire departments. Center Conway provided cover, Solomon said. An upstairs neighbor who

Charles A. Weeman, 72, of Pequawket Trail, in Brownfield, Maine, died Friday, April 8, 2011 at his residence. He was born in Manchester, a son of Raymond and Daisy (Rand) Weeman and attended Porter Academy. He had served in the Army and was a member of the Masons. He was a hard worker and worked as a mechanic and then a carpenter before starting his own excavation business in Denmark beginning in 1979 and continued his excavation business after moving to Brownfield in 1984 and continued to run the business until 1997 when his health forced him to retire. He is predeceased by Jane Weeman
and Everett Parsons.

Dana Cunningham returns to Little White Church every third Sunday Welcome to spring. These days have been so lovely that you just want to get outside and do something. I have one purple crocus up and some daffodils. Let’s warm up. Also my amaryllis plants are beautiful. Hurray for spring. The services at our Little White Church are back. Our beautiful church will be open to the public every third Sunday of the month at 5 p.m. starting April 17. Dana Cunningham will be leading what she describes as an emergent, present-moment-directed hour of music – both sung and instrumental, as well as poetry, silence, and the spoken word. The content of the time together is offered with the intention of creating space for stillness, gratitude, and increased awareness of what needs our attention most. All are welcome, regardless of belief system or lack thereof. The Inn at Crystal Lake is changing the date of this month’s opera night from April 21 to April 28. This has been changed for various reasons like vacation week. Anyway, plan to come on Thursday, April 28, to hear Sondheim’s “Into The Woods” This show weaves traditional children’s stories with powerful music and lyrics: Cinderella, Rapunzel, Jack and the Beanstalk, Little Red Riding Hood…they all come together to teach everyone a few life lessons. From the same composer as “Sweeney Todd,” “A Little Night Music” and “Sunday in the Park with George” among many others. This Stephen Sondheim has something for everybody. The Inn at Crystal Lake will only be having one more Opera Night on Thursday, May 19 featuring Puccini’s “Turandot.” $55 per person includes discussions and demonstrations and a four-course dinner that complements the opera, plus a glass of wine. The price does not include other alcohol, tax, or gratuity. Not only will you enjoy your dinner thoroughly, but also you can laugh with Tim at the antics of the people in the opera, and listen to live singing. Reverend Mary Edes will once again be offering her angelic voice to Tim’s with Ellen Schwindt
(from Mountain Top Music) as the pianist. Dinners begin at 6:30 p.m. followed by the lectures at 7 p.m. Do yourself a favor and attend the last two Opera Nights for the season. Believe me the live singing by Mary and Tim will be well worth it Call 447-2120 for reservations now. Join Russ Norton, Agricultural Resources, Extension Educator at the Conway Library on Monday, April 18, from 6:30 to 8 p.m. for an informational gardening presentation. Topics will include location, soil, fertility, and pH. Additional topics include weed management, starting seeds, and planting time. The cost is free. For more information contact University of New Hampshire Cooperative Extension at 447-3834. The fourth annual Mount Washington Valley Regional Science Fair will be Thursday, May 12, at Granite State College. Betsy Gemmecke is looking for volunteers willing to judge the projects from our area middle and high school students. Volunteers will be trained and are asked to offer 2 hours of time any time during that day to help support our students. For more information call Betsy at Granite State College at 447-3970.

Earl F. (Gib) Hill Earl F. (Gib) Hill, 58, of Bartlett, passed away suddenly April 6, 2011. Born in North Conway on June 28, 1952, the son of Lester and Marilyn (Crouse) Hill, he attended grade school in Jackson and Kennett High School. He was an avid fisherman and hunter and enjoyed spending time with his children and grandchildren. He was employed by the Town of Denmark, Town of Brownfield and Hanson Trucking in East Conway and at the time of his death he was employed by the Town of Bartlett Highway Department for many years. He belonged to the Maine Draft, Mule and Pony Club as well as a past member of the Denmark Volunteer Fire Department. In his spare time, he could be found working in the wood pile, driv-
ing his ponies, haying and fourwheeling. He loved telling stories and his face would light up and a grin would appear from ear to ear. He loved telling stories especially about this moose hunting adventures in Maine and would not pass up an opportunity to go with others on their hunting trips. He had a passion for dancing and traveling. He never knew a stranger and could strike up a conversation with anyone. You couldn't help but like Earl, he just had that way about him. Most of all, he was a husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, brother-in-law and friend. We are all better people for knowing him. He was predeceased by his father, Lester Hill, in 1987. He is survived by his ex-wife and

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES
by Lynn Johnston
DILBERT
by Scott Adams
By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your life sparkles when you encourage others to be resourceful and creative. Set some basic rules for your family or group. Beyond those rules, leave as much as you can up to the group’s members. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You have signed up to learn and grow. You may be subconsciously working for the approval of the person in charge. Remember that you are the ultimate boss in this endeavor. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You like to be in charge sometimes, but always being the one who has to come up with the plan is not so fun. This time you’ll sit back and let others rise to the occasion. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Not all interesting stories are sob stories. You’ll have to work harder to find something to relay that is not based on the sad state of things or a complaint therein. If you try, you’ll succeed. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You want to raise the mood of every room you enter. You portray yourself like a character in a musical, causing all who witness your theatrics to tap their toes to your uplifting song. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 12). You’ll have all the necessary ingredients for a balanced and happy life. The next six weeks bring you in touch with your natural gifts. You will be an agent of healing in several instances. Financial luck comes in May. You will adjust to accommodate an addition to your family in July. There’s a magical tie between you, Capricorn and Aquarius. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 20, 4, 39 and 17.
Get Fuzzy
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You know you’re lucky, but you don’t always feel that way. Someone in dire straits helps you look at your own life differently. In this new light, you may decide that you’re doing just fine. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). An enjoyable healthy habit is quickly becoming part of your regular routine. Soon this will be so ingrained in your manner that it will be an essential part of who you are. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Though you have plenty of energy, you are still better off when you conserve it. Feeling bad about the things you can’t change would be a waste. Direct your focus on strictly enjoyable activities. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You won’t be accused of being shy or subtle today. You’ll get right to the point. Your blunt approach will work best on those who are, like you, too busy to do things any other way. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There’s new territory to explore in a relationship. You may stumble through this experience, which is to be expected when you venture out of your element. Give yourself a pass. You are learning as you go. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Sometimes you need feedback. This is not one of those times, though. You could do without other people’s observations on your life. You know better anyway. Don’t invite comment. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). If love is a battlefield, your battle has begun, and you are already off to a dynamic start. You’re not fighting another person, though. It’s more like you’re joining arms against the monstrous complexities of modern romance.

Help Wanted by Abigail Van Buren
OPEN MINDS ARE USEFUL WHEN DISCUSSING GOD WITH KIDS
DEAR ABBY: I would like to respond to “Agnostic Dad in South Carolina” (Feb. 16), who wondered about how to answer the inevitable “Is there a God?” question his children will ask. My parents had strong but differing Christian faiths. They compromised when bringing us up, and we went to the church nearest our home (another denomination). Further, when we were teens, they allowed us to “sample” other religious traditions to determine what would suit us best. I became agnostic, and like “Dad in S.C.,” was unsure what to tell my son. My husband and I do not belong to any organized religion and didn’t take him to church as a youngster. Instead, we introduced stories from the Bible at bedtime, and allowed him to attend his friends’ churches when he asked to. More important, we showed him that all people are to be valued and that differences are to be respected. Our son is now in his late 20s. He’s a gentle, caring person with an interest in people from other cultures, religions and circumstances. Whether he is agnostic, religious or an atheist is a personal matter to him. He’s comfortable with his beliefs and doesn’t impose them on anyone else. As a parent, I couldn’t ask for more. -- FREE-THINKING MOM IN WASHINGTON DEAR MOM: Thank you for writing. Many readers were eager to offer guidance on this subject to a fellow parent. Read on: DEAR ABBY: Despite eight years of Catholic education, I’m an atheist. My wife is a Lutheran. We’ve never argued about it because we feel everyone has a right to religious

freedom. We have three sons, whom she took to church and Sunday school regularly with my complete support. We discussed in advance what our answer should be when the God question came up. Our response was: “Some people believe there is a God and others do not. You will get a sound religious education, and when the time comes, you will decide for yourself.” Our sons are now adults with families. Two are religious; one is not. At family meals we join hands and say grace. Some recite it -- some just listen -- and everybody’s happy. -- HARMONIOUS IN ILLINOIS DEAR ABBY: There is no problem for “Agnostic” and his wife to “handle.” If his children ask if there’s a God, he should model honesty for them and say what he thinks. So should his wife. If the kids get two different answers, they will learn that not everyone shares the same opinion. Suggesting that “Dad” not express his view plainly, without input from his wife, amounts to recommending that they collude in providing a dishonest answer. -- EMERITUS PROFESSOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN IOWA DEAR ABBY: My husband and I are agnostic parents of two adult children, both of whom are tolerant, open-minded and decent people. My advice to “Dad” is to read some of the excellent books that are available about discussing God and religion with children. He should also look into the Unitarian Universalist church, which does not push any one creed but encourages people to find their own beliefs in a supportive environment. -- NANCY H. IN TEXAS
