CONWAY — He entertained for then Vice President George H. W. Bush in the 1980s. He has sung for the Pope (the late John Paul II, in 2004). And now, he's going to sing not only to celebrate his installation as the new pastor for the Conway Village Congregational Church United Church of Christ, but also to add to that church's 125th birthday festivities planned for Sunday.
The singing pastor is the Rev. M.G. Martell Spagnolo, 49, who was hired in December by the congregation as the minister of the landmark church known by locals as the “Brown Church.” On Sunday at 5:30 p.m. as part of the church's 125th birthday festivities, he'll be performing a musical songfest of Broadway tunes and standards in the sanctuary, accompanied by Bobbi Muse of Fryeburg on piano. see PASTOR page 9
CONWAY — Hurricane Irene is still expected to impact this area late Sunday into Monday, according to Conway emergency management director Stephen Solomon. Although Solomon can't predict the hurricane's exact track and how hard it will hit, he says it will come close enough to ensure that Conway will feel some type of impact. The best estimates are three to six inches of rain will fall and winds will gust up to 60 to 70 mph. "I anticipate enough rain to cause urban flooding, washouts on the gravel roads, and downed trees and power lines," said Solomon. "There may also be minor river flooding after the storm passes." see IRENE page 8
