Eric Kinney keeps a small notebook in the front pocket of his flannel shirt. In this notebook he patiently writes down the requests that come his way. As a contractor, a real estate agent, and a selectman, the requests are often and varied.

Eric and the other selectmen, Sonny Haines and Steve Charles, work hard for the town in a position that can sometimes be longer on complaints than compliments.

But their upbeat attitude and attention to detail and hours and hours of time devoted to the town and its residents are appreciated.
