CONWAY — Gov. John Lynch toured Transvale Acres on Wednesday, asking the residents displaced by Irene what he could do for them and discussing the relief effort with state and local officials. State Police, Department of Environmental Services personnel, Department of Safety staff, reporters, firefighters, town officials and others snaked their way through the mud, first by car and then on foot. Conway Fire Chief Steve Solomon led the tour, pointing out flipped over trailers, down trees and debris left after the Saco subsided. “We’re not quite sure how we’re see TRANSVALE page 11

'Zero glitches' as Mount Washington Valley students return to school BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — Just three days removed from Tropical Storm Irene, schools in SAU 9 opened on time and administrators all reported a smooth first day. "It was amazing," Sherry "YaYa" Ward, of Kennett High School, said. "It just didn't seem like a first day. (Laughing) I must have forgotten to do something." School superintendent Carl Nelson kicked off his 14th year in the district the same way he has done the 13 previous years, by taking a tour of all of the schools. "No. 14 was one of the smoothest opening I've ever seen with the exception of the road issue in Hart's Location," Nelson said, referring to Route 302 damage caused by Irene. "I've been doing this for 14 years here now and I have to thank the principals, the teachers, the support staff, custodians, maintenance staff and bus drivers — they all do an exceptional job of creating a great educational environment for the students." Nelson said there were no unforeseen glitches. see SCHOOL page 8
