CONWAY — Like the recently purchased Tamworth Inn, another piece of local history is about to become a thing of the past. As was reported by The Conway Daily Sun Saturday, the Tamworth Inn was bought Friday and is awaiting the wrecking ball. Now the Pines Lodge and Motel at 928 Eastman Road is scheduled to be demolished starting later this week, according to Conway building inspector David Pandora. “They are going to take down the whole enchilada. I am working on a demolition permit today,” said Pandora Friday afternoon. He said the permit is being issued to Danley Demolition of Fremont.

Madison fire chief: New ambulance Police are still contract puts residents in ‘jeopardy’ looking for clues BY DAYMOND STEER THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
MADISON — The town’s new ambulance contract is so inadequate that it puts residents’ lives in danger, the fire chief told selectmen on Tuesday night. Board members and the ambulance manager said they would look into it. Selectmen were holding a meeting with North Conway Ambulance operations manager William Riley about how the first three months of the contract were going. Madison, Freedom, Tamworth and Eaton worked together to contract with North Conway Ambulance. The new contract is for five years.
Everyone seemed to think things were going fairly well, or at least until fire chief Richard Judkins spoke up. Judkins said the contract didn’t guarantee that paramediclevel service would be available 24 hours per day. Paramedics receive much more training than EMTs. And unlike EMTs, paramedics are allowed to administer drugs. Judkins said paramedics provide better evaluation and quicker response. “I live here, I pay taxes here, I’m affected by this and I don’t like it,” said Judkins. “I feel like my life is in jeopardy.” see AMBULANCE page 11
