MT. WASHINGTON VALLEY’S DAILY NEWSPAPER
BY ERIK EISELE THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
CONWAY — While four-fifths of last year’s board remains, things were clearly different at the selectmen’s meeting on Tuesday.
After a month as a four-person board (Larry Martin did not attend any meetings after the close of the election filing period) there again were five selectmen at the table, and the newest member came ready to talk.
In Martin’s absence, board discussion has often been dominated by chair David Weathers and vice chair Michael DiGregorio. A review of minutes from the first eight see SELECTMEN page 8

OSSIPEE — A Conway man who was convicted of beating his girlfriend and choking her with a curling iron was sentenced Wednesday to eight to 15 years behind bars.

In February, a jury found Ramsey not guilty of attempted murder. But the jury did find him guilty of felony second-degree

Saying it with flowers; police get anonymous token of thanks BY ERIK EISELE THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
CONWAY — Police officials expressed their thanks on Monday to the anonymous person who sent a gift to the department on Friday in the wake of the shooting of five police officers in southern New Hampshire. The person sent flowers, chief Ed Wagner said, “with a note that just said, ‘We care.’” “It was a fairly somber day around here,” he said, wearing a black strip over his police badge in honor of slain Greenland police chief Michael Maloney. see FLOWERS page 8
