Bypass funding still in doubt BY ERIK EISELE THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
CONCORD — Lawmakers are still crafting the state budget, but regardless of what the final numbers come out to there will likely be little money to begin building the Conway bypass. “There are a lot of different numbers out there, most of which cut us,” said Bill Boyn-
Budget picture isn’t getting any brighter for the state ton, spokesman for the state Department of Transportation. The department listed the bypass, which would route traffic along Route 16 around the villages on Conway and North Conway, among the projects that would likely have to be cut from the state’s 10-year plan if

Drown and Donnie Pomber are deceased. “[This show] is about me coming home
to Fryeburg to play a benefit for great causes, and then doing some Blend songs as a bonus with Skip [Smith] and Ken [Holt], and another player or two added. I didn't/don't want people to be misled,” said Dore, ever direct and soulful. Dore, Fryeburg Academy Class of '64, will be joined by Smith, the Blend's former drummer and vocalist, now a Realtor
