Lynch is no lame duck

Governor speaks about need for teamwork to solve state and nation’s problems BY TOM EASTMAN

The Conway Daily Sun

THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — He certainly doesn’t walk or quack like a lame duck. Four-term New Hampshire Democratic Gov. John Lynch announced in September he would not seek a historic fifth term, well before the November 2012 election.

Making jokes about himself as a “lame duck” in his trademark self-deprecating style, the governor spoke about his goals for the next 15 months in a Mount Washington Valley Economic Council “Eggs and Issues” breakfast forum address, held Thursday morning at the North Conway Grand Hotel. see LYNCH page 8

CONWAY — SAU 9 knows what it will be paying for fuel oil through April of 2013 and it could be a good deal given the volatile market. Jim Hill, director of administrative services for SAU 9, locked in on the price of fuel oil on Oct. 3, accepting the low bid of Lyman Oil of $2.92 per gallon from November 2012 through April 2013. The district is already locked in for this winter at $2.59 per gallon with Frechette Oil. “Over the past 18 months, the price has gone up, down and sideways,” Hill said by phone Tuesday afternoon. “Who knows where it will go from here? I don’t have a crystal ball, but I believe we have a decent price. Plus, at least the (school) boards know where they’re at from a budgeting standpoint.” see FUEL page 9

Madison road agent hires second son for highway department BY DAYMOND STEER THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

MADISON — Concern of nepotism at the highway department came to a head at a recent selectmen’s meeting.

During the public comment time, resident Fred Ham scolded selectmen for allowing road agent Billy Chick to hire another one of his sons. Bill Chick Jr. is the assistant road agent. In mid September, Billy Chick Sr. hired

Justin Chick to be a highway department employee. The highway department has seven full-time employees and a part-time employee besides the road agent.
