Valley part of a global movement BY DAYMOND STEER THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
CONWAY — "The protester" has been named Time Magazine's Person of the Year, and local Occupy protesters feel like they're included in that honor. Time's Person of the Year choice is dedicated to protesters all over the globe, from those at the Arab Spring to the Occupy Wall Street in the United States. Since November there have been a number of Occupy protests in Conway. Occupy Wall Street is a leaderless movement that began on Sept. 17 in New York City's financial district, inspiring related actions that have spread to over 100 cities across the U.S. and over 1,500 cities around the world. Common concerns include the economy and the corroding effect of big banks and multinational corporations on democracy, according to Occupy Conway protester Andy Davis of Albany. Mary Edes, the minister of the Unitarian Universalist Church in Tamworth, is pleased see PROTESTER page 12

School along with school superintendent Carl Nelson are recommending that allday kindergarten be presented as a warrant article rather than be built into the 2012-13 budget. The estimated cost is $170,931 for three teachers at $55,477 and $1,500 per school for supplies and equipment. The Conway School Board agreed
