CONWAY — Do you support closing one of the three elementary schools in town? That question will appear as a non-binding referendum on next year's Conway school
ballot in an effort to give the Conway School Board direction as it explores future cost-savings to the town. None of the three elementary schools — John Fuller, Conway Elementary or Pine see SCHOOL page 8

CONWAY — Phone and Internet service was restored early Tuesday afternoon following a cutting of a fiber optic cable that morning by a construction vehicle working on an excavation project near the intersection of Bald Hill Road and Route 16. Jeff Nevins of Fairpoint Communications of South Portland, Maine, said an excavator hit the cable at about 7:30 a.m., causing partial loss of service. Affected towns were Conway, Bartlett, Jackson, Madison and Tamworth. “Some had their service back by 11 a.m.; everything was back up by 1:30 p.m.,” said Nevins Tuesday afternoon. He said customers could make local calls “within their exchanges during the outage, but could not call out, so they were isolated.” see CABLE page 10
