CONWAY — The school board has scheduled a special meeting for Aug. 16 in hopes of restoring $1.4 million that the state has ordered cut from the budget. The New Hampshire Attorney General and New Hampshire Department of Revenue Administration determined last week that the budget approved by voters in April was subject to a so-called 10 percent rule, which limits to 10 percent the amount voters can add or deduct from the budget. The school board this year proposed an operating budget of nearly $33.3 see BUDGET page 10

ALBANY — Searchers combing the woods for the remains of a Rhode Island man may have found what they were looking for near the Kancamagus Highway on Tuesday morning. A K-9 search dog found a body in the woods 500 feet from the road at 9:50 a.m. Tuesday, authorities said, while more than 30 people searched for Paul Campbell. 50, of Charlestown, R.I., who went missing just before Christmas. “The medical examiner’s office has
not confirmed the identity,” Fish and Game Department conservation officer Sgt. Brian Abrams said, but the search was planned ahead of time to look for Campbell's body. Campbell went missing on Dec. 23. His car was discovered several days later at Blackberry Crossing Campground, six miles west of Conway on Route 112. Searchers looked for him for several days around the Albany Covered Bridge, but snow impeded the effort. see BODY page 8
