ROLL CALL FROM 6Aboards to decide what should be taught in the schools, notthe state. Others said the state Department of Educationcould do this through its rule process. There were twovotes. (D) The bill FAILED to PASS, 10-14. A YES voteFAVORED requiring civics be taught in the public schools.(E) The Senate then KILLED the bill (insuring that it won’tbe brought up again this year) 14-10. A YES vote stronglyOPPOSED requiring civics be taught in the public schools.
F) DON’T DEDICATE THE EDUCATION TRUSTFUND — CRCA7 would amend the constitution to requirethat educational trust fund money be spent on education.Supporters said that such a constitutionally-protected ded-icated fund — like the state highway fund — is necessaryfrom preventing something so important from being raidedto balance the budget. Opponents said that since generalfunds are sometimes used for the trust fund, any extramoney should go back to the taxpayers. The SenateKILLED the amendment the bill 17-7. A YES voteOPPOSED the amendment.
G) MORE MONEY FOR KINDERGARTEN — SB90would extend the kindergarten construction program,through which the state pays 3/4 of the cost to build newkindergarten facilities. Supporters said that this programhas encouraged schools to build kindergarten and shouldcontinue for those districts who need it. Opponents saidthat the $29.5 million bond was too expensive, and thatlocal taxpayers should make this decision based on localresources, not on state matching funds. The Senate PASSEDthe bill 22-1. A YES vote FAVORED spending money onkindergarten construction.

PLAISTOW FROM 6Aalternate dispute resolutiondocument but he didn’t seeanything there either. It wasapproved to authorize Sen-ter to sign any documentsrelated to the Cox easementof behalf of the board.
There was discussionregarding what benefits thecompany was projectingthere would be for the town.It was noted that there couldbe some tax benefit as theexisting facility couldrequest relief based on notbeing used. Also, there
could be a location for haz-ardous waste collection, butthe town would still have topay for the final removal.There could also be somebenefit to having a place todispose of white goods andother bulky items.
Scruton explained thatSEA has indicated theywould apply for a $50,000grant (50-50 match) to studydrinking water along Route125 up past the Lido site,and the surrounding areas.Pennichuk would put in the
match, but want to be surethe town doesn’t thenoppose them having a fran-chise for drinking water. Adiscussion was held as tothe intentions of Pennichuk,which was assumed to befinancial gain. There wasalso discussion regardingthe issues that Nashua hashad with Pennichuk andhow they are separatingtheir water system. Theboard requested the follow-ing information: Copy of thegrant proposal; copy of thestudy plan; results of thestudy; and communicationfrom Pennichuk with theirintentions. Gil noted thiswas mostly a paper exercise,that no actual wells werebeing dug.
Scruton stated there wasplenty of water, it was justpolluted. He said there wastalk of a possible treatmentplant or a hook into Haver-
hill water, or another source.Selectman John Sherman
offered that he attended thedeliberative session the pre-vious Saturday and thankedthe “civilians” who were inattendance. He expressedsurprise at which issueswere the more discussedand which were not. Hesuggested there be a cableshow about the budget asthere is a great deal of mis-information in the commu-nity.
Sherman referenced aBoston Globe article thatoutlined some of the presi-dent’s proposed budget cutsand asked the voters tothink about how these cutsmay affect Plaistow. Henoted that he was pleasedthat there was agreementbetween the board and theBudget Committee with ref-erence to the proposed bud-get and warrant articles.

EXETER | His song“Corporate Ladder,”says Steve Bowles, dealswith all the jobs he’sworked.
“Corporate ladder’sgot a broken rung, andhe doesn’t’ understand,”Bowles sings.
But asked what theworst job he’s had is,Bowles is unspecific.
“It’s just work, every-thing you do is work —that’s why they call itwork,” he says.
By that definition,anyone who’s filed a W-2would understand whathe’s getting at — and prettysoon music fans in the Sea-coast region will get thechance to.
Sometime around June,Bowles — who co-ownsExeter Music with fellowsongwriter Steve Brennan —will release the CD he’s beenworking on for the last threemonths.
But Bowles has beenaround a lot longer thanthat.
An accomplished electricguitarist with a flare forslide guitar, he led bandcalled New Morning in thelate 60s and early 70s. WithNew Morning he touredNew England and was fea-tured as an up-and-comingguitarist in the Boston
Globe.He’s played shows with
James Montgomery, withSha-na-na, with the PaulCotton Blues Band — andeven opened for Aerosmithsix months before they wentglobal with “Dream On.”
These days, Bowlesseems to have developedinto something of a relaxedsongster, recording trackafter track — tunes recallingJames Taylor with some-thing of Bowles’ own flavor— in the early morninghours in the studio he andBrennan set up in the base-ment of Exeter Music.
“We decided one aspectof the business is, you haveto record,” he says.
The store doesn’t openfor business until 10 a.m.,
Keep on playing
but Bowles can be foundthere as early as 7 a.m.recording tracks, developingnew mixes and, simply,
doing what he’s alwayswanted to do.
He records about asong a week, and playseverything himself.Though he’s co-ownedthe store for five years,he only began using thedownstairs space twoyears ago. There are ninepractice rooms set up,where the store’s 12instructors teachupwards of 400 lessons aweek.
“The business hasbeen good. It’s a dream,”he says — perhaps a farcry from some of then 9-to-5 drawl that fuels
tunes like “Corporate Lad-der.”
Bowles draws inspirationfrom some of the best.
