If you think your vote doesn’t count, think again. At yesterday’s Conway Town Meeting voting, Article 22, seeking to appropriate $399,000 to build bathrooms ended in a TIE vote—581 to 581. No word yet on any possible recount. The closeness of vote was reflected in the vote for Conway Selectman, as incumbent Carl Thibodeau retained his seat, defeating Joe Mosca 591 to 512. Thibodeau had favored the restrooms, while Mosca has come out as anti-potty, noting that the bathrooms were a good idea, but not if taxpayers foot the bill. In the five-way race for Conway Planning Board, Bill Barbin and Mark Hounsell were the top vote getters.

A missing 17-year-old girl from Littleton is now being featured in a new missing poster from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

Hannah Hubbard has not been seen since Feb. 7. Officials believe she could be traveling with an adult man.

Littleton police posted on Facebook the day of her disappearance, saying Hubbard was seen getting into a black sedan.

According to the center, Hubbard could still be in New Hampshire in Littleton or surrounding areas. She also could be the Massachusetts communities of Saugus or Malden.

To generate leads for investigators, Hubbard is being featured on Ring’s Neighbors app as part of a partnership with the NCMEC.

Hubbard is 5 feet, 8 inches and weighs 145 pounds. She is white with blonde hair and green eyes. When she was last seen, her hair was very short and dyed blonde on the ends, according to the center.

Anyone with information is asked to call Littleton police at 603-444-2422 or the NCMEC at 1-800-THE-LOST (1-800-843-5678).
