(NY Times) — Panini and Company Cafe normally sells sandwiches to tourists in Lower Manhattan and the residents nearby, but in recent days its owner, Stacey Tzortzatos, has also become something of a restroom monitor. Protesters from Occupy Wall Street, who are encamped in a nearby park, have been tromping in by the scores, and not because they are hungry.

Tzortzatos’s tolerance for the newcomers finally vanished when the sink was broken and fell to the floor.

She installed a $200 lock on the bathroom to thwart nonpaying customers, angering the protesters.

“I’m looked at as the enemy of the people,” she said.

The anticorporate participants in Occupy Wall Street, which is currently in its third week, say they have no intention of leaving soon. The protest has been building in size, with sister demonstrations erupting in other cities, and politicians, labor leaders and celebrities adding their support. But for many neighborhood businesses, the protest’s end cannot come soon enough.

In interviews, they said they were especially annoyed that the organizers of the grass-roots movement neglected to include portable toilets in their plan to bring down Wall Street.

Attacks punctuate 10th year of U.S. Afghan fight

FORWARD OPERATING BASE TILLMAN, Afghanistan (NY Times) — The sun had been up less than a half-hour on the 10th anniversary since the start of the Americanled war in Afghanistan when the first rocket struck. Flying in from near the border with Pakistan, it shook this outpost with an explosion that hinted at the long day ahead.

Soon insurgents near the border were firing on four Afghan-American outposts simulta-

neously — a coordinated barrage and assault that included dozens of 107-millimeter rockets, and at one post, a suicide truck bomber, American military officers said.

Only one American soldier was wounded in the attack, which the American regional command called the largest in Paktika Province since 2009. His wounds were not life-threatening. But the events on Friday demonstrated that as the war begins its second decade and

the Pentagon plans to start bringing tens of thousands of soldiers home after a buildup that since last year has made significant, the war remains bedeviled by a resilient foe.

Most of the rockets striking the outposts were fired from just inside Afghanistan, suggesting that the attack had been prepared and launched from Pakistan, and the rocket crews withdrew to sanctuaries there as the Americans fired back.

Adding jobs, but not many, In mulling the bailout plan, U.S. economy seems to idle Slovakia loses zeal for Euro (NY Times) — American companies are adding jobs slowly and unevenly, just enough to plug the dike against a wave of fears that the economy could slip back into recession. But with a ballooning European debt crisis sending ripples across the Atlantic and anxiety continuing over the tortured political landscape here, there is little indication that American employers will hire enough to put the millions of people unemployed back to work any time soon.

The Labor Department said Friday that American employers added 103,000 net new jobs

SAYWHAT...

“

In such ugly times, the only true protest is beauty.”

—Phil Ochs

in September, indicating that the economy is at least not weakening and that businesses have weathered the oil price shocks and the Japanese disaster-related supply chain disruptions earlier this year.

The government also revised its estimates upward for the previous two months, suggesting that job growth in the summer was better than originally reported. Although the numbers staved off the bleakest prognosis for now, the Labor Department’s monthly snapshot captures the economic challenges as President Obama continues to press Congress to pass his jobs bill.

BRATISLAVA, Slovakia (NY Times) — In a TV ad for the popular Slovak beer Zlaty Bazant, a grinning man with a paunch stands on a sunny beach, nodding his head as the narrator says, “To want to borrow from everyone, that is Greek.” The ad then cuts to a skinny man, standing in a field, who shakes his head.

“To not want to lend to anyone,” the narrator says, “that is Slovak.”

The commercial has touched a nerve here in the second-poorest country in the euro currency zone, where the average worker earns just over $1,000 a month. The prospect of guaranteeing the debt of richer but more spendthrift countrieshas led to public outrage. So much so that tiny Slovakia now threatens to derail a collective European bailout fund to shore up the euro.

Once among the most enthusiastic new members of the European Union, and an early adopter of the euro in Eastern Europe, Slovakia is proud of its strong growth and eager to leave behind its reputation as the “other half” of Czechoslovakia. It has also become a example of the love-hate relationship that many residents of the continent have begun to feel toward a united Europe.

What’s at Stake Americans’ right to access fresh, healthy foods of their choice is under attack. Farmageddon tells the story of small, family farms that were providing safe, healthy foods to their communities and were forced to stop, sometimes through violent action, by agents of misguided government bureaucracies, and seeks to figure out why.

'Geeing and Hawing' at the fair

Young Jackson girl learns the tricks from her grandfather

BY TOM EASTMAN THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

FRYEBURG — She's her farmer grandfather's helper, and no “girlie girl” at that.

“She loves farming, everything about it. She knows it's hard work, and she likes it,” beamed Clayton “Junior” Eastman, 67, of Brownfield about his 9-yearold granddaughter, Marissa Henry, just after she had competed in the Fryeburg Fair's ox pulling competition at the pulling ring in the 900- to 1,100-pound category.

After poor weather earlier in the week, Friday — the day of the competition — was one of those classic blueskied fair days, and many were on hand to watch the youngsters take to the ring with their pair of steer as they pulled weights around the bunting-decorated, dirt-floored pavilion.

Marissa — daughter of Tami and town fire chief and excavator Jay Henry of Jackson — has been showing at fairs

in competitions all summer, learning the ropes from her grandfather. (Her mom also showed oxen as a girl, notes Clayton Eastman.)

She placed eighth in the competition Friday with her team of Jessie and James, both 1-year-old Red Durham steers. At her grandfather's farm, she also works with his team of Jerry, 4, and Coffee, 3.

She and her younger sister, Jozelyn, 7, helped muck the stall and groom the animals Friday at the fair, before and after the competition, with the family staying overnight in a camper on the grounds. “I want to do this, too, when I get to be 9,” said Jozelyn.

They are both members of the fifth generation of their family to go to the Jackson Grammar School, notes their dad.

“Yeah, we are part of the Kelley clan.

Having a girl from Jackson working with oxen isn't very Jacksony — at least see OX page 7

not these days,” laughed Henry, noting that Jackson once very much was a farming town before it became more yuppyfied as a resort community.

Marissa and Jozelyn's grandfather was pleased with Marissa's performance Friday.

“I'm happy — she had a good time, and the animals were very pleasant and easy to work with, so that pleases me, too,” said Eastman, who started showing oxen when he was 12. “You know, animals are just like people — we all have our bad days and our good days, and today was good for the animals.”

He said competitors vie for blue ribbons and small cash prizes. In addition, part of the reward takes place along the sidelines, Eastman said, as competitors make bids to buy top-showing teams.

“That's all part of it. They like a good team of welltrained oxen,” said Eastman.

Other competitions were held Friday — the ox pulling sweepstakes were held at 2 p.m., and ox pulling for 3,300 pounds at 7:30 p.m.

Confident in the ring An avid skier (cross-country and downhill), snowmobiler and soccer player at school, Marissa — a quiet but determined fourth grader — seems totally at home with the teams, walking in and out of the stall, and hugging and stroking the foreheads of the giantheaded, big-eyed animals.

To see a tall and wiry young girl leading a 1,300-plus pound animal with confidence is a wonder to behold.

“I know I wouldn't be doing that if I were her size, but she is perfectly fine with them,” her dad said proudly of his oldest of two daughters while watching Marissa lead Jerry outside Barn 15 at the fairgrounds after the competition. “This has really added a lot to her life — she goes down just about every weekend to her grandfather's. Of course, he's God to her,” said Henry.

Marissa decided this summer that she would like to learn the tricks of showing oxen from Eastman.

Although many of the children at the fair are involved with 4-H, her dad says the nearest 4-H that is involved with oxen is too far away. Instead, she is learning from her grandfather.

Marissa says she is happy to be gaining new skills, shouting commands and controlling the yoked team of animals with an occasional prod with her white oak stick.

“My grandfather has been doing this a long time, and I told him I'd like to learn,” said Marissa at the stall Friday. “Every weekend, I exercise them, and I learned how to teach them how to stop (you say 'Woa'), and to go left (you yell 'Haw') and to go right (that's 'Gee!').” (“Back” is for back up, and “Get up” is for go).

Eastman said steer become oxen at age 4, when their “teeth change.” He said he has used his teams over the years to log, but doesn't do that much any more.

He is pleased as punch with how well his feisty granddaughter is doing with the animals.

“I tell her that the more she practices, the better they get. She understands that, and knows that by lead-

ing them out to the field and working with them really helps,” said Eastman. “Other teams pulled more today, but ours were good because she has them trained pretty well." *** According to the on-line encyclopedia, Wikipedia, oxen are “commonly castrated adult male cattle; castration makes the animals more tractable.

Cows Marissa Henry, 9, of Jackson, grand(adult females) or father Clayton ‘Junior’ Eastman of bulls (intact males) Brownfield, and Jerry, a 4-year-old gray may also be used in Durham ox at the Fryeburg Fair Friday.

“Oxen are used for plowing, for transport (pulling carts, hauling wagons and even riding), for threshing grain by trampling, and for powering machines that grind grain or

supply irrigation among other purposes. Oxen may be also used to skid logs in forests, particularly in lowimpact, select-cut logging.

“Oxen are usually yoked in pairs. Light work such as carting household items on good roads might require just one pair, while for heavier work, further pairs would be added as necessary. A team used for a heavy load over difficult ground might exceed nine or 10 pairs.

“In the New England tradition, young castrated cattle selected for draft are known as working steers and are painstakingly trained from a young age. Their teamster makes or buys as many as a dozen yokes of different sizes as for each animal as it grows. The steers are normally considered fully trained at the age of four and only then become known as oxen.” *** PULLING AT THE FAIRS: More ox pulling is scheduled for the Fryeburg Fair Saturday at 2:30 p.m. The grand livestock parade is set for Saturday at 10 .m. For more information about the Fryeburg Fair, which runs through Sunday, Oct. 9, call (207) 935-3268.

The Sandwich Fair through Oct. 10 also features many agricultural events, including oxen and steer log skidding Saturday at noon and a 4-H working steer show at 9 a.m. Monday. For more information, call the fair office at 284-7062.

Throwing areas at Livingston Oval to be named after Don Trimble

BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

SADLY WE WILL BE CLOSED FOR THE 2011 PICKING SEASON

DUE TO MEDICAL REASONS WARDS ORCHARDS 613 Pound Road - Madison, NH • 367-4334

CONWAY — The faces of the Kennett High track and field program since its inception in the 1960s will be permanently honored next spring when the Eagles host the prestigious Wilderness League Track and Field Championships.

The Conway School Board voted unanimously in August to name the track in Millen Stadium at the Redstone campus the Livingston Oval to recognize the efforts of long-time current coach Bernie Livingston. Last week, the board once again in a unanimous vote named the throwing areas in the stadium the Donald A. Trimble and Family Field Event Facility after coach Don Trimble, who created the track team at Kennett High.

A naming committee made of Kennett High principal Neal Moylan, school athletic director Kerry Brady, and Conway School Board members Janine McLauchlan and Lynne Brydon received recommendations to honor both Livingston and Trimble.

It was a reporter who nominated Trimble: "I would like to formally request the Conway School Board consider naming the throwing areas for track field events after Donald Trimble at the newly named Livingston Oval in The Gary Millen Stadium at Kennett High School," Lloyd Jones, of The Conway Daily Sun, said in his nomination letter.

"As some may or may not know don taught social studies at Kennett High School from 1962 to 1994. He was the school's first track coach, building the program from scratch into a force to reckon with during his 18 years as head coach. He was also an early cornerstone of the Kennett football program as a coach.

"The Eagles won an incredible 83 track meets in a row under his leadership and were considered among the best in New Hampshire through the 1970s.

"Don eventually passed the high school coaching baton on, but his love

of track and field continued. He was the head coach at the junior high level for a decade.

"He also worked tirelessly to try to bring a track to the former Kennett High School in Conway Village. In fact, when word of the opportunity to create a track at the new Redstone location spread, the Trimble family was the first in the community to make a financial contribution — $34,000 — doing so in the name of Don's late son Andy, who was an outstanding thrower for Kennett High from 1978-81 and went on to throw for Dartmouth and earn All America honors. Andy later returned to Kennett High and was a math teacher for a few years before getting sick and stepping down.

"Both Don and Andy were inducted into the Kennett High Sports Hall of Fame.

"Even today, Don has a love for KHS track and field and has never missed a home meet. He volunteers at each one.

Now in his 70s, he still competes and is recognized nationally as one of the top hammer throwers in his age group in the country.

"Don Trimble is an incredibly humble man. He was an icon in the classroom and a legend as a coach at KHS. It would only be fitting to do something for a man who has done so much for our community."

The committee was charged with submitting three recommendations for school board consideration. After consulting with Trimble, its first choice was the Donald A. Trimble and Family Field Event Facility followed by the the Donald A. Trimble Field Event Area and the Donald A. Trimble Field Events for Track.

"I recommend we go with the first choice given that was the families first choice," board member Randy Davison said and his colleagues agreed.

Trimble said he was "humbled" to be recognized and called it "a special honor."

The recommendation to honor Livingston came from members of the track team, who gathered over 100 signatures in support.

What ideas do you have for Conway’s 250th birthday celebration in 2015?

The town of Conway will be observing its 250th birthday in 2015, and Conway Historical Society interim curator Jim Arnold and president Ken Rancourt told selectmen last week that it’s never too early to start planning. They are hoping that a committee can be formed to plan the celebration. “It’s coming up, so we wanted to start talking about it now and get ideas from people who would like to be part of it,” Arnold said prior to the meeting with selectmen. “My thinking is we have plenty of time to work on it and do it right.” Rancourt said he envisions the celebration as a summer-long series of events. “From a commercial point of view, it could bring in tourists while honoring our past,” Rancourt said.

Selectman Mike DiGregorio agreed that he would like to see a celebration “happen over the course of a summer versus something happening with one night of fireworks.” He added, “It does take time to plan.”

However her reluctance to include that in her letter

makes it very difficult to even care and it may not matter anyway. There is no such thing as a victimless crime, Someone suffers for it, just ask your son or look in the mirror.

Not much difference between extremists To the editor: In reply to Mr. Figuly’s condemnation that Mr. Lane, from Arizona, and I, from Brownfield, cannot distinguish love from hatred just because we think his spewing hatred, as a Christian, for the Muslim world is both wrong and silly, I need to point out a couple of things: Since when is it OK for a Christian to try to incite hatred and malice toward any other religion/ethnic or racial group? I and other writers have called you out on your fallacies and quotes from Islamophobic “experts” for years now. When will you quit? Have you forgotten the atrocities waged in the name of Christ by the Crusaders, by the good Christian clerics who burned 50,000 women at the stake as witches and heretics, by the good Christian clerics who tortured and murdered another 50,000 during the Spanish Inquisition, or during the religious wars between the Catholic Church and the

Protestant Churches, or the 2,000 Jews who were burned alive at the stake in Germany by the good Lutherans during the Black Plague for creating the plague?

It seems that there isn’t much difference between Christian and Muslim extremists who take the words of the Bible or the Koran out of context to justify hatred and separation; the Aryan Nation quotes the Bible to justify their racism, the Muslim clerics distort the Koran for their own ends. September 11 was caused by Muslim extremists the same way the Oklahoma City bombing was caused by a Christian extremist. To blame a whole group for their sins against humanity is idiotic.

Give it up already!

Enough hate!

I am also a proud American fighting man, 2nd Armor and 3rd Infantry 1966 to 1968, but I have guts enough not to hate blindly.

Heating Days The house that sheltered my childhood was built in the Greek Revival style of the early 19th century, but the clapboards of the rather formal exterior hid a secret, the main structure was made of squared-off logs. The date also meant that the surfaces would have been hand-shaped and they’d include air spaces that, while not exactly breezeways, let through quite a lot more winter than most householders of our 21st century times would expect.

There was a coal-fired hot-air furnace in the cellar backed up by three fireplaces among the 13 or so rooms, the “or-so” being due to classification options among hallways and rooms, each of the two hallways had more floor space than my bedroom. The furnace was weak and the fireplaces were small, which meant that the most reliable source of heat was woolen clothes and hauling wood.

The real danger, though, was the varying size of the timbers in the walls. No one told me about this, but I did have a vague sense that the increasingly large bulge at the top of the wall over my bed meant that a plaster avalanche might fall on me while I slept.

The first house of my own was not as up to date as that, it was the mountain house I described two weeks ago. In fact, most people would say that it was a large step backward in the house-holding arts because there was a spring outside for water, but no plumbing inside. Not only that, but I miscalculated the amount of wood I’d need for heat, and I was off by a large margin.

Indeed, looking back, it’s difficult for me to imagine how I could have been so wrong. The main supply I counted on was left-over wood from carpentry, and I was only about halfway through my carpentry work, which meant that I was inventing a more radical form of eating my seed potatoes, I was burning my house to heat my home. I hadn’t gotten to the insulation part, either, I would probably have been more comfortable in a tent, but that would mean that there probably wouldn’t have been any room left over for my Newfoundland dog, who was approaching the size of a pony. He was, however, available as a heat source, but that would mean going to bed with a pony, which had not occurred to me as a desirable option.

There was also the matter of lighting, and here I was starting on the long road that would lead to civilization. I’d already decided not to set fire to my house to stay warm, so it did not seem reasonable to read by the light of a fire.

At least, not a big one.

My childhood summer evenings in Jackson were lit by kerosene lamps. These had a comforting smoky kind of smell that I’d always liked. I only had one of them, though, but wasn’t enough light and it did not seem to be moving in the right evolutionary direction. Then I got a Coleman lantern, which did have a nice techie quality and a really startling amount of light, but there was always the lingering memory of the kind of explosion that had ignited my sister’s hair on a camping trip.

Then I got a Petromax, which was highly recommended, by The Whole Earth Catalogue, which was the index for all things virtuous, but the noble Petromax was rarely seen in real life.

In fact, no one I knew had ever even heard of one. Then, perhaps not surprisingly for such a desirable item, it was stolen. Then I installed a gas lighting system with lots of nice-looking copper tubing and the fragile little mantles, but not as much light as I’d hoped for. Then I got a diesel generator, a very expensive one.

Nicholas Howe at his mountain residence in the 1970s.

Then the Arab oil embargo hit and the price of fuel went through the roof. I decided that this was the price of progress and gritted my teeth, then a squirrel made a nest in the air cooling duct and didn’t tell me about it, and that was that. Then The Whole Earth Catalogue listed a very nice generator driven by the wind, an energy source that I had in abundance, but it cost a bundle.

There was also the matter of furniture. The house was really very small, which meant that a tall kitchen stool was the only piece of moveable furniture I could have, and the architect’s enthusiasm for design meant that there were no square corners in the floor, which taught me how deeply our sense of “house” is attuned to square corners in the floor. I didn’t mind any of this, because I wasn’t paying for anything, not the thought or the design or the building materials or the elbow grease, it was a startto-finish project for one of the students at the college where I was teaching.

He finished the shell of the building and I did all the inside work, a lovely array of paneling and shelves and built-in cabinets with teak wood trim fitted cushions over lift-top benches with storage underneath, all made of pumpkin pine boards made from tree trunks at a friend’s mill -- my mother said it reminded her of a yacht that had run aground on a mountain with a 300-degree view to help with navigation.

Then one evening I brought up a sleeping bag, climbed onto what would become the porch, and climbed in through an opening that would become a picture window. Then I said, “I’ve come home.” I said that right out loud.

Then it began to snow and it hardly ever stopped until April. There was no insulation in my house and no interior paneling and no outside tarpaper and no finish clapboards, only one layer of plywood between me and a recordsetting winter, but I was setting my own kind of record, and that was enough.

Moat and Tuckerman brew up a new marketing plan

BY TOM EASTMAN THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

BARTLETT — There’s an art to making fine beer, and that will be celebrated at Attitash’s Oktoberfest this weekend, Oct. 8 and 9.

Among the microbreweries participating in the 14th annual oompah music and suds event are two local past People’s Choice winners: Tuckerman’s Brewing Company, located on Hobbs Street in Conway, and Moat Mountain Smokehouse and Brewing Company, located on Route 16 in North Conway.

The two establishments share a love for fine beer — and a passion for making it.

Despite the downturn in the economy, both report that sales of their products have increased in recent years — proving that like chocolate in challenging economic times, people love their beer — especially good, locally produced and supported beer.

“They say that during a recession, sales of alcohol and chocolate continue to increase. Our sales have actually shown

a steady increase of about 20 percent the past few years,” said Kirsten Neves, founding partner with Nik Stanciu of Tuckerman Brewing Company, the local brewery that they founded in 1998.

Likewise, founding head brewer Will Gilson at Moat Mountain says sales have been strong.

“Brew pubs and microbreweries are one of the few segments of the economy that have steadily grown in a declining economy,” said Gilson, who majored in German in college at UNH, graduated and later majored in powder skiing out west before becoming a brew master in Utah.

“I think that part of it is also that people want to support local economies, whether it’s their local brewer or bakery,” said Gilson, a comment that was echoed

by Neves, who said, “I think a lot of beer consumers are more conscious of consuming a higher quality of beer. Fortunately, when the economy starts lagging they don’t switch to a cheaper kind of beer — they continue to support it,” said Neves. see BEER page 19

Two microbrews build interest Gilson says he thinks it’s great to have two microbreweries — Tuckerman’s and Moat — in Mount Washington Valley, as they draw attention to the region among beer enthusiasts, whether of the local or visiting kind.

He says Oktoberfest adds to that in a promotional way by bringing beer lovers to town.

“We’re real excited to be going back to Attitash, as it’s always a huge weekend at the event and the restaurant. Germans are known for their folk festivals, and Oktoberfest is the biggest one they have,” said Gilson, who always dons his Oktoberfest lederhosen and hat to make the most of the spirited event — add that to his background as a college German major and his brew master experience, and he’s well at home under the tent at Attitash’s event. “The band is always good at Attitash; and so’s the food. The activities are wonderful. So rain or shine, it’s all good,” he said.

Vying for the ‘People’s Choice’ This is Attitash’s 14th event; Tuckerman was founded in 1998, and Moat in 2000.

It seems Moat Mountain and Tuckerman have been dueling it out for the past 11 years for the People’s Choice award.

At this year’s Oktoberfest,

Moat will be presenting its Opa’s Oktoberfest, Hossman Weiss Bavarian Wheat and its standby, Iron Mike’s Pale Ale. Tuckerman’s, meanwhile, will be unveiling a new beer at Oktoberfest: “Altitude,” billed as “Alt Beer with Attitude.”

“We just brewed our first batch last week,” said Tuckerman’s Neves. “It’s between an alt beer and an Oktoberfest (which means it is a dark German styled brown ale, with a higher alcohol percentage rate of 7.5 percent).”

It joins the company’s first product, Tuckerman Pale Ale, an American-style Pale Ale which it first produced after opening its Conway facility on Main Street in 1998.

In 2004, after moving to larger digs at 64 Hobbs Street, the company came up with its second product, Headwall Alt, a German brown, which is 4.5 percent alcohol content.

To round out its offerings, Tuckerman’s in 2007 produced its first batch of the seasonallyoffered 6288 Stout — paying homage to Mount Washington, the tallest peak in the Northeast.

It’s described on the company’s website (www.tuckermanbrewing.com) as an American-styled stout, having “a full body and wonderful hoppy flavor.” It has an alcohol content of 6.3 percent — which sounds about right, given Mount Washington’s elevation of 6,288 feet. Sold in four-packs, it features the tower of the Mount

Washington Observatory.

(A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the 6288 Stout goes to help support the observatory and its weather and science endeavors).

A love for all things Mount Washington Neves and Stancius were just 24 when they founded Tuckerman’s Brewing Company in 1998.

Kirsten was thinking of going to law school; Nik was a scientist. They were drawn to Mount Washington Valley and took jobs at a local ski area.

As the website tells it, “They wanted to be in business for themselves, but what would it be.

They fell in love with the mystique of Mount Washington and Tuckerman Ravine and had been doing some home brewing of beer.

Then there was the epiphany: let’s start a brewery and name it after the summer and fall hiking destination and most famously, spring-skiing Mecca, Tuckerman Ravine. As another maker of fine beer would say, ‘brilliant’!”

Toiling together, the first recipe was developed and the first batch of Tuckerman was brewed.

The label, six-packs and cases featured the famous photo of the 1937 Harvard/Dartmouth college ski slalom race in Tuckerman Ravine.

At the start they worked with New Hampshire Distributors and White Mountain Distributors to grow the brand, and soon outgrew their brew house. see next page

So in 2004, they moved to the present digs at Hobbs Street.

For the latest product, the Alt with Attitude, the company is using a photograph of the ravine shot by local Tuckerman photographer extraordinaire Brookie Dodge of Jackson.

Tuckerman Brewing is available in New Hampshire, Massachusetts and recently Maine.

Nik, Kirsten and the crew are producing about 5,000 barrels of beer a year. That’s approximately 70,000 cases.

That’s a local company, employing local people to make a product that has garnered a wide following — including, according to Kirsten, from American gold medalist Bode Miller of Franconia, who she says is a fan of the company’s beer. see BEER page 24

Hi! My name is Cora

“It’s great to work for a locallybased company whose owners care so much about the product and the employees,” said production manager Dave Blackburn on a tour of the plant off Hobbs Street Wednesday morning.

The plant was a beehive of activity as he gave Wednesday’s impromptu tour, as workers sprayed bottles, filled orders, and checked on the huge vats where the liquid that would eventually become beer was fermenting.

Tuckerman’s offers tours of its facility every Saturday at 3 p.m.

— always a fun thing for beer enthusiasts to do on a rainy day.

“The tours are popular. We have had as few as four people, but usually there’s more on any given Saturday,” said Neves.

In the can, man Iron Mike’s Pale Ale has always been Moat’s most popular beer.

Since spring, it has been available in 24 ounce cans. (You may have heard the radio advertisements on WMWV 93.5-FM playing with the somewhat off-color “big can” theme: “Look over there! There, that girl. Look at the size ... of ... that ... can! I’ve never seen a can THAT big before!”)

“We launched our limited release of 24-ounce specialty beers in cans in spring,” said

Gilson, who says the cans use recycled aluminum. The cans are made by Rexam, the same company in Chicago that makes them for Budweiser. The containers are canned by hand at Moat’s basement brewery space, two cans at a time, and sealed.

They are then shipped out to stores throughout New Hampshire and more recently to Maine.

Growlers and kegs are also part of the company’s business line.

“Most cans are 12 to 16 ounces, so ours are twice the size of some beers. We are the first small brewery in the United States to use that 24 ounce can,” said Gilson, who says the move to cans enable the brewery to serve more customers by offering something other than just their growlers, which hold 64 fluid ounces.

“We sell 100 growlers from the taps on a given busy weekend — we wanted to take the pressure off our growler sales by offering a package that is designed to last longer,” said Gilson. “So by offering cans, it’s the ‘go anywhere’ container. ” Iron Mike is Moat’s hoppy, American style Pale Ale — it’s been dry hopped, which gives it a floral, citrus aroma, notes brewer Scotty Simoneau, who was interviewed over a burger at the Moat Mountain Smokehouse and Brewery this week with Gilson and fellow brewer Matthew Moore.

Cora is an adorable 2 year old puggle that was a transfer from another shelter. At this time we are still learning about Cora so we can’t say if she likes cats or kids but she has lived with another dog. Although she tolerates car rides, they are not her favorite thing to do. She also seems to be shy with men. We will update on Cora as we get to know her better.

A love for (making) fine beer Gilson and Neves note that brewing is all a matter of hops, yeast, water and malt — and a lot of love and hard work.

“Why do I love making beer?” asked Gilson. “It’s creative and it’s production work. You deal with customers one on one; and it’s sales and marketing as well. It’s science to make a great beer, but then you dial it in with the creative part, the art.

I use my tactile sense to create the beer we have versus a pure scientific approach — it’s like how a chef creates a dish. With a beer, if I taste it and it comes out a certain way, I can tweak it by using my taste buds versus you know, just adding 4 percent according to a formula. That’s what makes great beer.”

It’s a hoppy life Beer is one of the world’s oldest beverages, with the history of beer dating back to the 6th millennium BC, and being recorded in the written history of Ancient Iraq.

Moat brewer Scotty Simoneau at the Moat this week said that before Prohibition (1920-1933), many neighborhoods had their own microbrewery.

To survive during Prohibition, many of the larger breweries made soda or ice cream until it could be repealed.

“They diversified their business model and waited for Prohibition to end,” said Simoneau.

World War II also led to the demise of some of the small breweries, as their stainless steel equipment got scrapped for the war effort.

“So between those two factors, there were a lot of the smaller breweries that didn’t survive,” said Simoneau.

Beer changed after the war.

“The bigger companies aggregated a lot of beer to suit the masses — the non-beer drinkers; for women’s tastes, and for people who didn’t drink beer. They made a lighter beer,” said Will Gilson of the Moat.

Over the past 20 years, people sought a return to the beers of old. That’s where microbrews sprouted up.

As notes Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia, about the rise of microbreweries: “In the early 20th century, Prohibition drove many breweries in the U.S. into bankruptcy because they could not all rely on selling near beer, nor ‘sacramental wine’ as wineries of that era did. After several decades of consolidation of breweries, most American commercial beer was produced by a few very large corporations, resulting in a very uniform, mild-

tasting lager, of which Budweiser and Miller are well-known examples. Consequently, some beer drinkers craving variety turned to home brewing and eventually a few started doing so on a slightly larger scale. For inspiration, they turned to Britain, Germany, and Belgium, where a centuries-old tradition of artisan beer and cask ale production had never died out.

“The popularity of these products was such that the trend quickly spread, and hundreds of small breweries sprang up, often attached to a bar (known as a ‘brewpub’) where the product could be sold directly. As microbrews proliferated, some became more than microbrews, necessitating the definition of the broader category of craft beer — high quality beer. The largest American craft brewery is the Boston Beer Company, makers of Samuel Adams. Portland, Ore., is very well known for its microbrew proliferation. In 2008, Portland had 30 microbreweries located within the city limits, more than any city in the world and greater than one-third of the state total.

Many of Portland’s 46 microbrew outlets have won nationwide and international acclaim.

“American microbreweries typically distribute through a wholesaler in a traditional three-tier system, others act as their own

distributor (wholesaler) and sell to retailers and/or directly to the consumer through a tap room, attached restaurant, or off-premise sales. Because alcohol control is left up to the states, there are many state-to-state differences in the laws.”

The Association of Brewers reports that as of July 31, 2009 there were a total 1,482 craft breweries (962 brewpubs, 456 microbreweries, and 64 regional craft Breweries) in the United States.”

Over the past 15 years, more and more aficionados have taken to home brewing.

In addition to larger chains such as Shaw’s and Hannaford, there are several local markets selling microbrews, including Glen Beverage, the Scenic Vista Country Store in Intervale, Katrina’s Market and Discount Beverage 1 and 2 in North Conway, and the Good Beer Store in Fryeburg.

“People like to try beers from different states — people have beer cellars at their homes, much like wine collectors have wine cellars,” says Simoneau, a collector himself.

In addition to Attitash’s Oktoberfest, Tuckerman’s and Moat will both be among the 31 breweries participating in the 2011 New Hampshire Brew Fest, to be held at the Redhook Brewery in Portsmouth Oct. 15. For further information, call 953-4200.

Burnt Meadow Mountains colorful history and hiking Hiking ––––– Ed Parsons

View towards Stone Mountain from Burnt Meadow Mountain. (ED PARSONS PHOTO)

The lower mountainous regions around the White Mountains generally have colorful histories, and offer interesting hiking as well. The Burnt Meadow Mountains of Brownfield, Maine are no exception.

Cutting off an hour’s drive for hikers coming from Portland, Maine and easily accessible from Conway as well, this group of mountains has some fun trails to great views out over pastoral landscapes.

The history of these small mountains can go as far back as you want.

Recent “fission track dating,” which measures “damage tracks of fission fragments in Uranium bearing minerals,” has contributed greatly to knowledge of the thermal history of the continental crust. Recent testing of rock from the Burnt Meadow Mountains dates their volcanic activity at 177 million years old, a little younger than White Mountain activity at 180 million.

Jumping to modern history, the area around the mountain range was granted to Captain Henry Young Brown in 1764 for his services in the French and Indian War. In Brownfield, farming and small industry from water power along the Saco River provided a living. After the Civil War, a rail line passed through long-side the river.

But in 1947, the great fire destroyed 85 percent of Brownfield. Eventually a ski resort was proposed on Burnt Meadow Mountain to help the local economy. It opened in 1971, had its day, and closed in 1982.

Recently, the world class Stone Mountain Arts Center has put the town on the map and a few houses have crept up the mountain sides.

But in this modern day of outdoor recreation, the Burnt Meadow Mountains are seen as an asset to the area and both the see HIKING page 31

Auditions for ‘It’s A Wonderful Life’ Oct. 10, 11

FRYEBURG — Auditions for “It’s A Wonderful Life,” under the direction of Mary Bastoni-Rebmann will be held Monday, Oct. 10, and Tuesday, Oct. 11, beginning at 6:30 p.m. at the Leura Hill Eastman Performing Arts Center at Fryeburg Academy. Performances will be held at the Fryeburg Performing Arts Center on Dec. 17 and 18 and rehearsals will begin November.

The cast is made up of 12 men, 10 women, two boys and two girls.

This is the heart-warming saga of George Bailey, the Everyman of a small town of Bedford Falls, whose dreams of escape and adventure have been repeatedly squashed by notions of family obligation and civic duty. It is Christmas eve, and George’s guardian angel, Clarence, descends to save him from despair,

and to remind him (by showing him what the world would be like had he never been born). This stage adaptation is based on the film written by Frank Capra and is written by James Rodgers.

To set up an audition time, call 986-2221. Walk-ins will be accepted when openings are available. Sides from the script will be provided at the audition.

grouse, and other birds must find these fruits too starchy at first, but a few cool nights change that in the fall. Bears like them. The fruits are usually two-to five-celled, with one or two seeds in each cell.

As birds migrate southerly, it is no big deal for them to move over our summits and gorge themselves on fruits at these altitudes. It is just another place where tough forage species thrive in the cloud’s moisture and full sunshine on other days. Mountain-ash is first rate deer browse in winter, and is favored food for moose and snowshoe hares, too.

There is a fine display of a conspicuous specimen outside the front window in the Pinkham Notch camp dining hall, and the AMC’s Highland Center at the former Crawford House hotel site is another good place to view this vivid species. It prefers high terrain. The Conway Scenic Railroad’s Notch Train runs through enjoyable patches of these high altitude forest types as it moves up this historic defile.

mountains to the Albany intervale.

Preferring moist situations and cool temperatures, American mountain-ash is commonly found on elevated slopes.

While it might be found at sea level up in Greenland, you would find it at elevations of 6,000 feet down in North Carolina. Although Mount Mitchell in the Great Smokies is higher than our Mount Washington, it has a zonal climate very similar to the 2,500 foot coniferous forest community we enjoy here.

Natural seed dispersal is chiefly by birds, with a little help from small mammals, too. I grabbed a cluster of the bright red berries and always hope to establish some seedlings of the mountain-ash around my house, but it may take a few years to break dormancy. I shall attempt to follow the technical directions of the Northeastern Forest Experiment Station’s book on Shrubs and Vine for Northeastern Wildlife to get that done, but I never was much of

a USDA type on that sort of thing. This is such a valuable wildlife forage shrub that I intend to successfully persevere in reproducing this species, adding to the assortment of native bird feeding shrubs in this good soil.

This manual suggests running the picked fruits through a macerator to remove the pulp or through a fruit press. In the latter process, the fruit should be dried and the seed broken out by hand as it is sown. The Forest Service says the fruits may also be simply spread out to dry and used in that form. Untreated seeds sown now usually do not germinate until the second or third spring.

HIKING from page 26

town and the numerous private landowners of the range are aware of this.

Trails both old and new are being enjoyed by hikers that are local, from eastern cities, and those passing through from much further afield as hiking websites offer trail descriptions and directions. This helps the local economy.

Such low lying mountains with a potential for great trail systems often attract volunteers to work on them. Sometimes, if the area is fortunate, these volunteers are willing to put a great deal of time and effort into it. Such is the case with Doug Ofiara from Scarborough, Maine and Keith Chapman of South Portland. They have been working on the trails in the Burnt Meadow Mountains since 2004.

Cooperating with private landowners that year, they upgraded the 1.3 mile Burnt Meadow Trail — possibly also reopened after the 1947 fire — to the open rocky summit of Burnt Meadow Mountain (1575 feet).

Since then, with the involvement of the Maine chapter of the Appalachian Mountain Club, and working with other volunteers willing to get their hands and knees dirty, they have built two other trails in the range.

The 2 mile Twin Brook Trail forms a great 3.3 mile loop hike with the Burnt Meadow Trail, going through a saddle between Burnt Meadow Mountain and Stone Mountain (1624 feet). Starting in the summer of 2007, Ofiara and Chapman determined the location of this trail, did the flagging and layout, and then the initial rough cut. With other volunteers, they finished it by 2009.

The next summer of 2010 saw them

building the new Stone Mountain Trail with a crew of seven. It starts in the saddle at a junction with the Twin Brook Trail, and climbs 0.72 miles to the great southeastern view on top of Stone Mountain.

Their present plans don’t stop there.

They dream of a trail along the entire Burnt Meadow range, and across intervening lower summits all the way to Mount Prospect in Freedom, creating a 2 to 3 day hiking experience. Of course this is dependant on land owner approval.

They have kept the Brownfield selectmen abreast.

Presently, they are working with a cooperative landowner — Hugh Hasting of Fryeburg — who owns a small 1,200 foot mountain in Brownfield separate from the Burnt Meadow range, that is aligned with their proposed route to Freedom. Ofiara is presently flagging a trail up this mountain, which he calls Hastings Mountain.

Landowners along the route might even build primitive cabins or a bed and breakfasts, also stimulating the local economy.

This route would also likely have a connector trail with the Mount Cutler area in Hiram. Doug Ofiara has also worked on trails up Mount Cutler, in cooperation with the present landowner.

Hiking communities, like other communities with good leadership, tend to grow.

Presently, Ofiara and Chapman lead an expanding group of 20 to 30 people called the Friends of the Burnt Meadow Mountains (their Website, friendsofburntmeadowmountains.com will be up and running in November, 2011). Some of these members work hard building trails, yet see next page

others are simply enthusiastic hikers who frequently hike in the Burnt Meadow/Mount Cutler areas. They are able to report any changes, needs, or violations they might find there.

Hiking the oak ridges of these peaks, with pastoral views from rocky outcrops, are well worth checking out. To get to the parking lot for the Burnt Meadow Trail, take Route 113 east from Fryeburg. In Brownfield, after the four corners by the G@S convenience store, take a diagonal right on Pig Street. Go to its end and turn left on Route 160. In 1.2 miles, on a blind corner, turn right into the rustic parking lot. This has been considerably expanded and improved by a cooperative landowner. The trail sign is on the right. Be aware that there are one or two steep scrambles on the Burnt Meadow Trail as you near the top.

Note: Here is a suggestion for a combination hike and cultural event that my friend and I are doing tomorrow, Sunday October, 9th. In the morning we are going to hike the loop up the Burnt Meadow Trail and down the Twin Brook Trail (with a possible side trip to the top of Stone Mountain if we have time).

At 2:30 p.m., we are going to a free talk and concert at the Hiram Historical Society called “Longfellow and Bull: the virtuoso and the poet, with Charles Kaufmann.” Kaufmann is artistic director of the Longfellow Chorus. Evidently, the Norwegian violin virtuoso Ole Bull had much in common with Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (who retired to his family farm in Hiram in 1807). They lived in the same time period, yet 3,210 miles apart. Come hear about it, and listen to "Bull’s surprisingly genial music" with Kaufmann on bassoon, and Geoffrey Wieting on piano.

Well used hiking boots allowed.

To get to the Hiram Historical Society, continue east on Route 113 from Brownfield to the bridge over Saco. Cross the bridge and take a sharp left, and look for the tall white building on the left. For more info on the talk, call 207-625-4762.

mid sections. When you add all this up it is rare to find a rod of much value, however, there are those rods that can bring over $10,000. You never know when that yard sale find may pay for a new car.

Last week a very nice gentleman came into the shop carrying an old rod tube.

The rod had belonged to his dad and he was interested in learning the value of the rod. The rod was made by W. C. Crocker of Rangeley, Maine. The rod was an eight foot rod with two tips, all the same length and in very good to excellent condition.

The problem I had was I had never heard of the maker and none of my reference material made mention of Mr. Crocker.

After a quick search on the Internet I found a couple of references to the maker, however, the information was sketchy at best. A few days before this a friend had mentioned the Rangeley Outdoor Sporting Heritage Museum that he had just visited. My friend told me that the museum was well worth making the effort to visit for anyone with an interest in the history of that region. It occurred to me that if anybody would have any information on this rod certainly the museum would. Unfortunately the museum is already in winter hours and was closed that day, or I would have called, I did however, send them a quick e-mail inquiring about the rod and the maker.

The next morning I did receive an e-mail from the museum’s director who was able to shed some light on the rod.

Mr. Don Palmer wrote that Ken Crocker (1893-1972) was a guide in the Ken-

Northland

nebago area. He had traveled to New York, in the off season, to work for the William Mills Company who at the time owned the H. L. Leonard Rod Company, where he learned to split cane. He returned to Rangeley around 1917 where he continued to make rods on his own.

The museum owns some of Crocker’s slit cane and a silk line winding machine that he owned.

The information came a little late to help the fellow out who had brought in the rod, although I did refer him to the museum. As for the value of the rod, I still don’t know enough to about the rod or the maker to give an intelligent answer. The man said that his father thought the rod might be worth as much as $500 and he may not be far off. The maker is rather obscure and his rods would probably be worth more to a collector from Maine than somewhere else. The rod certainly caught my interest and I would have loved to have made an offer on it, however I have no desire to short change a customer or myself.

The fun thing about looking at these rods is that for a few moments you are holding a real piece of history in your hands. From the minute you take the cap off of the rod tube the musky that escapes sends you back in time. When I put that Crocker together you could visualize tall pointed fur trees, smoke from old log cabins and big brook trout. The man that originally owned that rod probably loved it and passed it on to his son with that same love. Sadly, there was no one left to pass it on to and it was time to let it go.

See you on the river.

Green Tips

Melody Nester

Lightbulbs away from saving money

Yesterday, driving home from work I was awestruck by the magnificent blue and orange hues of a few neighborhood solar lit garden art sculptures and stake lights. It was dark and cool, and inspiring to see how well these lights were still brilliantly illuminating gardens where flowers had faded.

And so cost effectively! No need to water. No cost to light, even on cooler, darker days.

Improving lighting efficiency outside your house, or in, is one of the easiest ways to cut your energy costs. An average household dedicates at least 10 percent of its energy budget to lighting.

The National Energy Development Project, a Virginia-based energy education non-profit organization, estimates that it’s more like 38 percent for businesses and schools. Even more exciting: using new lighting technologies can reduce energy use in your home by 50-75 percent that can save you a corresponding dollar amount on your utility bill.

Tips 1. Buy fluorescent. Fluorescent bulbs last 6 to 12 times longer than traditional incandescent bulbs. Use fluorescent tubes and compact fluorescent bulbs where possible. They may cost a little more in the check out line, but in the long run, will save you money.

(CFLs contain a small amount of mercury. Be careful handling

these bulbs and properly recycle.)

2. Try LED (light emitting diode). LEDs are starting to become more available for more types of lighting fixtures and are even more efficient than CFLs. Again, they will cost more but can save more.

3. Think ENERGY STAR. According to the U.S. Department of Energy Savers Booklet, buying ENERGY STAR qualified CFLs will save you about $30 or more in electricity costs over each bulb’s lifetime. Energy Star is a national standard for energy efficient consumer products originated in the United States in 1990 with the passage of the National Appliance Energy Conservation Act. Fixtures and appliances carrying the Energy Star logo generally use 20%–30% less energy than required by federal standards.

4. Conduct an energy audit.

It will help you quickly assess where you can save money in lighting and other energy areas.

Your utility or Chamber of Commerce can recommend an energy auditor near you.

5. Consider solar. Whole house solar electric and hot water requires an investment of time of money. Start with outdoor solar lights. NH Saves Online Catalog and local retailers offer many options. If you’re motivated to do more, research your options carefully. Plymouth (NH) Area

6. Stay current on federal, state and your utility’s energy efficiency programs. There’s currently a bi-partisan Energy Savings and Industrial Competitiveness Act of 2011, co-sponsored

by Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, being presented in Washington; plus federal, state and utility-administered energy efficiency rebate opportunities are always changing. Study up. You can learn much online on government and utility websites and may be able to save on the purchase of energy efficient and solar systems.

DILBERT

by Scott Adams

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You crave privacy, especially where loved ones and the neighbors are concerned.

If you can’t have the whole house or apartment to yourself, then at least a private room will serve the need.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

It’s no secret that you love the activity and mental stimulation involved in travel. Whether or not the trip goes as expected, it always broadens your horizons. So when is your next getaway?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

The truth is not always welcome and may cause rumpled feelings. Perhaps it would be better not to speak it, unless, by your withholding the information, someone will actually be harmed.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

There’s someone who fascinates you, and today your mind reels with imaginings of what this person’s life is really like. The only way to know is to make an entrance into this person’s life and find out.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You are in a sensitive mood. You’re also a terrific actor. Despite outward appearances of being calm, you can often be deeply wounded in your inner being.

Stick around the sweeter, nicer people you know today.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 8). Fortune favors you. An impulsive decision turns out to be brilliant. Your optimism attracts love this month. November brings a new teacher. The lessons will not be academic. Your vision and drive will be supported in January. You’ll provide work that others do gratefully.

March features entertainment and games. Taurus and Capricorn people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 14, 39, 1 and 22.

Get Fuzzy

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You do like to get right to the heart of things.

Some will appreciate your directness, though most will need to warm into ideas -- to mosey around for a while before homing in on the bottom-line truth of the matter.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It takes a lot for you to lose your temper. Your patience is legendary. However, when the raging bull is finally prodded past the point of no return, the others should really get out of your way or prepare to be trampled.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Suddenly and inexplicably, the element of risk is not one with which you feel entirely comfortable. Heed the inclination to play it safe, and you’ll later be very glad you did.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You have a strong sense of what is appropriate, and yet you also feel compelled to go against it entirely. This rebellion, however small it may be, will make some kind of personal and perhaps artistic statement.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You will be feeling quite sociable, provided those nearby meet your standards, which is to say they are cheerful, interesting and seem very likely to be full of good and useful information.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Do not allow yourself to get overwhelmed. Be courageous. Remember that there’s always a way to break down big events into small, doable -- perhaps even enjoyable -- tasks.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Even when change seems wise, there is something in your nature today that doesn’t want it. So, you’re not ready.

Resist and stall. When the moment is really right, you’ll feel it.

THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Saturday, October 8, 2011— Page 39

Today is Saturday, Oct. 8, the 281st day of 2011. There are 84 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 8, 1871, the Great Chicago Fire erupted; fires also broke out in Peshtigo, Wis., and in several communities in Michigan.

On this date: In 1869, 14th president of the United States, Franklin Pierce died in Concord, NH In 1918, U.S. Army Cpl. Alvin C. York led an attack that killed 25 German soldiers and captured 132 others in the Argonne Forest in France.

In 1934, Bruno Hauptmann was indicted by a grand jury in New Jersey for murder in the death of the son of Charles A. Lindbergh.

In 1956, Don Larsen pitched the only perfect game in a World Series to date as the New York Yankees beat the Brooklyn Dodgers in Game 5, 2-0.

In 1957, the Brooklyn Baseball Club announced it was accepting an offer to move the Dodgers from New York to Los Angeles.

In 1970, Soviet author Alexander Solzhenitsyn was named winner of the Nobel Prize for literature.

In 1981, at the White House, President Ronald Reagan greeted former Presidents Jimmy Carter, Gerald Ford and Richard Nixon, who were preparing to travel to Egypt for the funeral of Anwar Sadat.

One year ago: Imprisoned Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo (lee-OO’ show-BOH’) won the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize, prompting a furious response from China. British aid worker Linda Norgrove, who’d been taken captive in Afghanistan, was killed during a U.S. special forces rescue attempt, apparently by a U.S. grenade. Gen. James Jones announced he was quitting as President Barack Obama’s national security adviser.

Albertina Walker, the Grammy-winning singer from Chicago known as the “Queen of Gospel,” died at age 81.

Today’s Birthdays: Entertainment reporter Rona Barrett is 75. Actor Paul Hogan is 72. Civil rights activist Rev. Jesse Jackson is 70. Comedian Chevy Chase is 68. Author R.L. Stine is 68. Actor Dale Dye is 67. Country singer Susan Raye is 67. Actress Sigourney Weaver is 62. Rhythm-and-blues singer Robert “Kool” Bell (Kool & the Gang) is 61. Comedian Darrell Hammond is 56.

Actress Stephanie Zimbalist is 55. Rock musician Mitch Marine is 50. Actress Kim Wayans is 50. Rock singer Steve Perry is 48. Actor Ian Hart is 47. Rock musician C.J. Ramone is 46. Actress-producer Karyn Parsons is 45. Singer-producer Teddy Riley is 45. Actress Emily Procter is 43. Actor Dylan Neal is 42. Actor-screenwriter Matt Damon is 41. Actress Kristanna Loken is 32. Actor Nick Cannon is 31. Actor Max Crumm is 26.

MAN WANTS TO PULL THE PLUG ON LATE-NIGHT CHAT SESSIONS

DEAR ABBY: I have been dating “Mindy” for a little more than a year, and mostly we get along. The one thing that is not working is Mindy likes to have long talks on the phone, usually very late into the night.

When I get sleepy and tell her I’m going to bed, she either gets upset, ignores me and continues talking, or tries to guilt me into staying up later to talk. I resent it. I have tried discussing it with her, but she doesn’t seem to get it. How can I get across to Mindy that I’d like to go to bed without a fight?

-- NODDING OFF IN BELMONT, CALIF. DEAR NODDING OFF: Do it by telling your chatterbox girlfriend in the bright light of day what time your bedtime is. Tell her that if she wants to have long conversations in the evening, that’s fine with you -- but she needs to respect what your bedtime is. As that time approaches, remind Mindy by saying, “I’m giving you five more minutes, then I’m hanging up the phone.” Then do it.

DEAR ABBY: My fiance’s ex-girlfriend “Amanda” has been living with his parents for more than three years. I feel cheated out of the opportunity to have a daughter-like relationship with my fiance’s parents. I want her to move out.

I have discussed this with my fiance, and he talked to his mother and told her that we’re getting married and it’s time for Amanda to leave. Amanda also agrees it’s time for her to move, but my future mother-in-law doesn’t. I don’t think she wants to let go of Amanda and her grandson. It’s like Amanda is her daughter.

I don’t like the situation. It’s not normal, and I don’t know what to do. Should I confront his mother or just stay quiet? I want to feel like I’m the daughter-in-law, not Amanda! Please help. -- CHEATED IN HOLLAND, MICH.

DEAR CHEATED: I see nothing positive to be gained from a confrontation. Once you and your fiance are married, you WILL be the only daughter-in-law.

However, you will have to accept that Amanda’s child will always be your in-laws’ first grandchild. Regardless of how far or how fast Amanda moves out, her child will have a place in their hearts and their lives. Having had their grandchild living in their home for this period of time has intensified the bond. Please consider carefully how this will affect you before you marry this man, because feeling as you do, it may be a difficult adjustment.

DEAR ABBY: In our house we have a simple dress code.

We ban the “three B’s”. If your clothing shows your butt, your boobs or your belly, you may not wear it. I just don’t think it’s healthy for my teenage sons (or my older son and husband) to have that in their faces as we eat dinner.

Is there a tactful way to approach the kids’ friends -- who are welcome at all times, but sometimes show up with their boobs hanging out? -- COVERING UP IN NEW HAMPSHIRE DEAR COVERING UP: Yes. If someone comes to the table suffering from overexposure, take the girl aside and tell her that in your house you “dress” for dinner. Then offer her a garment to cover up with.

DEAR ABBY: I am writing you with an etiquette question.

If a neighbor is displaying a card, such as a get-well or thankyou card, is it OK to pick it up and read it? -- JUST WONDERING IN SPRINGBORO, OHIO DEAR JUST WONDERING: No, not without first asking permission. To do otherwise could be considered rude or even nosy.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Ninety minutes after dying, he came back to life where he faced a long recovery.

To date, 34 surgical procedures have taken place. He walks only as a result of miraculous and in some cases medically unexplainable circumstances. During the time he was dead, Piper says he was was granted the privilege of glimpsing Heaven. He travels across the country and around the world sharing his story. His message is simple ... We can have a better life now and an eternal life someday through faith in Jesus Christ.

New map shows Mount Washington geology

A new map of the geology of the presidential range has just been published by well-known New Hampshire geologist and Mount Washington Valley resident, Brian Fowler.

Among other interesting things, the map, “Surficial Geology of Mt. Washington & The Presidential Range,” answers the commonly-asked questions, “Why do the high peaks of the Presidential Range look like “rockpiles” instead of open, cliffy summits?” and “What changes have occurred to the climate here since the end of the last ice age?”

The map also presents evidence that a large cirque glacier existed in the Great Gulf after the continental ice sheet departed and that a postglacial lake was created at The Glen by this glacier’s terminal moraine when it temporarily dammed the Peabody River.

The map is the first of its kind for the Presidential Range and is the result of 45 years of work by its author, lately in cooperation with both the N.H. and U.S. from preceding page

The map is suitable for use by anyone, but especially those with some basic knowledge of geology. The map depicts and interprets the geologic deposits and features that overlay the bedrock of the Presidential Range by means of various colors and symbols, and its informative notes and photographs provide basic descriptions of the intriguing geologic features and climatic history of the area during the past 16,000 years.

The map is printed on a tear and water resistant synthetic base and is packaged in a zip-lock pouch. Copies are currently available at the Mount Washington Observatory's Weather Discovery Center in North Conway, at its Summit Museum Shop, and at the Tin Mountain Conservation Center in Albany, and at the AMC at Pinkham Notch and at its Presidential Range Huts.

REAL ESTATE CORNER

CO Awareness

BY JASON ROBIE

Don’t get me wrong, I love winter in New Hampshire and honestly can’t think of a lovelier scene than a landscape blanketed in a fresh dusting of snow. But as we start the dreaded migration toward closed windows and doors and the lack of a natural flow of fresh air, our minds should be also on our personal safety and that of our families and pets. As you are likely aware, the state of New Hampshire now “requires the installation of carbon monoxide detectors in rental units and in single and multi-family dwellings built or substantially rehabilitated after January 1, 2010.”

So what exactly is carbon monoxide (CO) and where does it come from? Carbon monoxide (CO) is a deadly, colorless, odorless, poisonous gas.

The incomplete burning of various fuels, including coal, wood, charcoal, oil, kerosene, propane, and natural gas produce it. Products and equipment powered by internal combustion engines such as portable generators, cars, lawn mowers and power washers also produce CO. When used in a well-ventilated area, these items pose no immediate threat, but when that exhaust is able to gather and increase in concentration, trouble is brewing.

There are dozens of families still without power in some parts of Vermont and New Hampshire from when Irene paid her visit. In 2005 alone, the Consumer Product Safety Commission is aware of at least 94 “generator-related” CO poisoning deaths. Half of those were caused by power outages related to Katrina and other severe weather patterns. On average, there are around 170 deaths in the United States every year from CO produced by non-automotive consumer products. Water heaters, furnaces, space heaters and other fuel-burning appliances are among the guilty culprits. Aside from those tragedies, The CDC estimates that several thousand hospital room visits annually are attributed to CO poisoning treatment.

Since CO is odorless and essentially undetectable to our senses, it is scarily possible that you could be exposed and not even know it. The initial symptoms are much like that of the flu (without the fever). Shortness of breath, nausea, dizziness, headache and fatigue are all signs of low to moderate CO poisoning. As it progresses, the signs get more severe. Mental confusion, vomiting, loss of muscle coordination and eventually loss of consciousness are the symptoms of this heightened level. The severity of these symptoms is related, both to the CO level in the immediate area as well as the duration of exposure.

So now that we’re all scared to death, how can we keep this nasty stuff at bay? The problems arise, as the seasons dictate, when the windows and doors are closed and there’s no place for the gas to escape. Keep an eye on any type of fuelburning appliance. Stoves and ovens are scary enough when they are new and in good working order. If yours is older than you are, just make sure you have had it serviced and all the seals and elements are in good working order.

Dynamic home with rich history Today’s Home of the Week is a New Englander-style home built in 1870.

FREEDOM — Welcome to 17 Old Portland Road, a dynamic antique home in picturesque Freedom Village.

This immaculate vintage home is perfect for a weekend retreat or for a primary residence. The home has been lovingly restored, from the vintagelooking radiators to the furnace and roof. The interior is full of character and charm with great banisters lining the staircases, with hardwood floors, bay windows and built-in shelves/ bookcases.

A picture-perfect side porch with your comfortable rocking chairs will allow you to absorb the small, quiet town any time of day. The home has an abundance of sun-filled rooms, an eat-in kitchen with center island, large laundry room and plenty of closet space.

There are two master suites with baths on the second and third floors with four more guest rooms. The second-floor grand master suite has vaulted ceiling, French doors overlooking the waterfall, full bath, extra large walk-in closet and a loft leading to the cupola.

An attached barn is currently being used as an antique shop but can work well as a garage/workshop or any other home business.

The Freedom House, as it is called, has had a long history of offering room and board to the many tourists who visit the area. The house was built sometime in the latter quarter of the 19th century.

The exact date is not certain as the deed has only been traced to 1885. see HOME page 53

The antique home has 14 rooms and 3,507 square feet of space.

The amount of CO we can handle depends a great deal on the health of each individual. The fastest and typically easiest remedy is to get outside to fresh air immediately. It is always a good idea to call the fire department from a neighbor’s home (or your cell) and get medical attention immediately. If the doctor has confirmed CO poisoning, you should then have a qualified service person check your appliances for proper operation or leaks. These appliances should not be used until a professional has ensured their proper function.

Today’s CO alarms are better built and are not as susceptible to nuisance alarms as older models.

Their purpose is to sound an alarm before potentially life-threatening levels of CO are reached. There has been some debate about where these alarms should be installed. All the reading I have done says you can plug them right into a wall outlet (typically 12-18 inches from the floor) or they can be installed

high on the wall. It is OK to install them a good distance away from kitchens or fuel-burning appliances. Outside bedrooms and inside each sleeping area of the home are two of the more common spots to place them. Keep an eye on the replacement age of the alarm. The “testing” that you do is only verifying that the circuitry is working, not the accuracy of the sensor.

As the law now states, new homes or significantly remodeled homes are required to install CO alarms.

For the rest of us, it just makes good sense. The Recreation Vehicle Industry Association even requires CO alarms in motor homes and in towable RVs. It makes good sense for the safety of your family and if your home is on the market, it is one less thing the new owners will have to think about when they are settling in.

HOME from page 52

One of the first families to reside here was that of Orren E. Drake. He was a successful businessman who not only ran a general store in the corner building in the early part of the 1900s, but ran a successful Pantaloon factory that was located behind the barn. This factory was one of seven businesses in the village during the late 1800s that were devoted to finishing pants and knickers. These were shipped from Boston by train to Ossipee and then shipped back. It is said that Orren Drake’s business finished 50,000 pair of pants per year

A side porch is a great place to take in the quiet.

by 1888, and some 200 people worked for his operation.

Needless to say, for Freedom standards of the time, the Drakes were considered a prosperous family. Inter-

30-year rates fall below 4 percent

BY ANN CARRNS NEW YORK TIMES

The average rate for a conventional, 30-year fixedrate mortgage fell below 4 percent for the first time on record, according to Freddie Mac’s weekly market survey that came out on Thursday.

While that is good news for anyone who wants to buy a house or refinance an existing mortgage, Freddie Mac’s chief economist, Frank Nothaft, noted in a prepared statement that the decline reflected worries about the global economy.

The 15-year fixed rate also fell to “the lowest level on record” for the sixth consecutive week, the survey found.

Mortgage rates have tracked a slide in 10-year Treasury yields, amid concern that Europe’s debt crisis is worsening and the United States economy may slide back into a recession.

Freddie Mac reported that 30-year fixed-rate home loans averaged 3.94 percent, with an average of 0.8 points, for the week ending Oct. 6. That’s down from last week’s average of 4.01 percent. Last year at this time, the average was 4.27 percent. (Points are essen-

Freddie Mac reported that 30-year fixed-rate home loans averaged 3.94 percent, with an average of 0.8 points, for the week ending Oct. 6.That’s down from last week’s average of 4.01 percent. tially interest paid up front, in a lump sum.)

Meanwhile, the average 15-year fixed-rate mortgage was 3.26 percent, with an average of 0.8 points. Last week, it was 3.28 percent, and a year ago, it averaged 3.72 percent.

An exception to the drop in home loan rates was for one-year adjustable rate mortgages, or ARMS. Those rates inched up, to 2.95 percent with an average of .05 points, as the Fed began replacing $400 billion of its short-term Treasury securities, which serve as benchmarks for many ARMs, Mr. Nothaft said.

The question now is whether with many Americans, struggling with stubbornly high unemployment, depressed home prices and tougher borrowing requirements, can take advantage of the lower rates to buy a home, or refinance.

NEW YORK TIMES

Again and again, you hear about mortgage rates hitting historic lows; now you’re thinking it’s time to refinance. But one hitch may hold some homeowners back: declining property values.

“Homes have lost equity,” said Kathleen Bowen-Ha, the owner-broker and an appraiser for Global Keepers in Dobbs Ferry, N.Y. Millions of homeowners nationwide have either no equity or negative equity in their homes, and they can usually refinance their mortgages only by paying extra at the closing, or what’s known as a cash-in mortgage.

Those considering refinancing will need to determine the current valuation, comparing it with the mortgage balance. If the balance is at least 15 to 20 percent higher than what you owe, you’re ready to refinance without what would amount to a second down payment.

To obtain a good valuation, some homeowners hire an appraiser, at a cost of $300 to $600, or more on a very large or expensive property. This may be informative, but most lenders will require an official appraisal anyway, and that will have to be conducted by someone on their approved lists, said Diane V. Christiana, a senior appraiser at the Appraisal Consul-

tants Group in Livingston, N.J. Another, less costly option before a homeowner approaches a lender is to check the “comps” — comparable homes in the neighborhood that have sold in the last three to six months.

“You can get a pretty good sense if you’re underwater or not, just based on what’s sold in your neighborhood,” Christiana said.

Look for recent sales on websites like Homegain, Trulia or Zillow, or check local sites produced by real estate companies or run by Multiple Listing Services. Many of these show homes for sale or rent; to gain access to data on sold properties, you can check with local agents.

Christiana also suggests going to the county assessor’s office and looking up specific homes that have sold recently in your neighborhood.

If you’re looking at comps yourself, consider homes with amenities and square footage similar to yours, said Alan Rosenbaum, the founder and chief executive of Guardhill Mortgage in New York, an independent mortgage brokerage. Rosenbaum says he prefers sites like Zillow and Streeteasy when doing quick checks on comps for apartments in New York.

Then, after you’ve completed your price analysis with comps, share your findings with the bank’s appraiser to see VALUE page 58

try to ascertain the amount you want to borrow, Rosenbaum suggested.

When your lender is about to send an appraiser to your home, find out whether the person has expertise in your city or area, either by checking with the lender or looking up the appraiser online. It can hurt your valuation if the appraiser is from another region, Bowen-Ha said, a situation that occurs less often with local and regional lenders.

Just before your home is scheduled for its official appraisal, spend a few hours touching up and making sure it looks well maintained, Bowen-Ha said. Hire a cleaning person. Repair any broken windows. Gather up any documentation on upgrades you have had done — for instance, changing

out the furnace, adding skylights or replacing appliances. This can help show your home is in good condition, and may be reflected in the value.

Find out what comps the appraiser is using, and make sure that he or she excludes “distressed properties” or foreclosures, Bowen-Ha added. “If they put those into the pool,” she said, “it will definitely have a negative impact on the value of your property.” If that happens, ask the lender and the appraiser to recalculate your value.

Then be sure to ask for your copy of the appraisal, so you can decide whether it fairly reflects your home and neighborhood. If you feel it’s inadequate, Rosenbaum said, ask for a second appraisal, and even a third.

“Don’t give up,” he said. Gather more information on your home and its value, and keep trying.

Closing costs are on the rise

BY ERIK MARTIN CTW FEATURES

The good news for home buyers is that mortgage interest rates continue to hover near record lows.

The bad news is that closing costs are on the rise.

In fact, an annual survey by Bankrate published in July from reveals that the nationwide average for closing costs — the fees assessed by the lender, title company, appraiser and others prior to completion of a real estate transaction- has risen nearly 9 percent from 2010.

Experts say this increase, which can be as high as 20 percent in some areas, is due to several factors, not the least of which is stricter lending regulations in recent years.

“The enhanced due diligence lenders are performing on loan applicants is translating into higher lender closing costs,” says Greg McBride, senior financial analyst with Bankrate.com in North Palm Beach, Fla. “Lenders are required to be precise in quoting their fees on the Good Faith Estimate, which is also a contributor to the higher quotes borrowers are now seeing,” With more regulatory pressure on banks comes the need for adding more staff to keep up with the new rules - overhead costs that often are passed on to borrowers.

“States and counties are also looking to raise revenue, as they have seen a decrease in revenues in other areas such as real estate taxes as values have decreased,” says Brian Fein, regional sales manager with Mortgage Master, Inc. in Rockville, Md. “So

we’ve seen in increase in recordation and transfer taxes charged by these municipalities.”

Lenders today have limitations on what they can charge due to recent legislation. If a borrower chooses a loan with a mortgage broker with zero points, they are not charged for credit reports or processing — they only pay the lender costs for documentation, underwriting, appraisal, flood determination and certification, appraisal and wire-transfer fees. If a borrower chooses a lower interest rate, however, the origination fee may be higher than it was a year ago due to lower loan amounts, as prices have dropped, and they can be charged for credit and processing when they elect to pay origination charges, says Victor Benoun, president, The Mortgage Source, Studio City, Calif.

“Escrow companies also may be charging more due to lower purchase prices, and they have included more fees as part of their services,” Benoun says.

“It’s not unusual to see notary fees, document fees and sub-escrow fees, which can add several hundred dollars to the closing costs.”

To save money on closing, try these tips: • Shop around with up to three different lenders on the same day to compare fees on the Good Faith Estimate.

• Shop around on your own and compare costs for any service provider listed on the GFE, including the property inspector and title insurance company.

• Ask for the difference in costs for zero points versus paying origination fees.

• Monitor and work to improve your credit score prior to applying for a loan, and put down as much as you can afford for the down payment, which can lower your fees.

• Of course, ask the seller for a credit toward closing costs as part of your negotiation.

Lastly, don’t hold your breath hoping that closing costs will decrease any time soon.

“The regulatory environment for lenders isn’t getting any less stringent,” says Scott Stucky, chief operating officer with DocuTech Corp., a mortgage document company based in Idaho Falls, Idaho says.

“This will continue to require additional resources from lenders, and these are not revenue-producing resources. Therefore, one can assume the overall cost of originating mortgages will go up, which will increase the cost for the borrower.”

"Nonetheless, European travel is very strong and while domestic bus passengers may be down, bus tours of travelers from abroad have not been affected," O'Connor said.

Visitors to the White Mountains this weekend will be able to follow the fall colors, seeing some of the brightest hues in the western White Mountains around Franconia and Crawford Notches and the east side of the Kancamagus Highway, while the colors continue to turn in the Mount Washington Valley area.

Those planning a holiday excursion should have lodging reservations before leaving their driveways and have an itinerary that follows less traveled roadways.

Steady splash of color this fall NORTH WOODSTOCK – Brightly colored foliage will draw autumn travelers to the White Mountains this Columbus Day weekend.

"This year's fall foliage show is a little different, in that its splash has been steady, rather than an explosion of color we've seen in other years," said Jayne O'Connor, president of White Mountains Attractions, the marketing association for 16 tourism venues in the region. "What this means for visitors is that there will be a long patchwork of yellows, oranges and, of course, the bright reds that are the signature of the season."

Columbus Day has long been the high point of fall, especially in the White Mountains, where peak colors typically coincide with the three-day holiday. For businesses and attractions, the fine weather predicted will be a final boost of the season that saw a few challenges over the summer.

"For many of our attractions, the summer of 2011 was on track to be above what it was in 2010," O'Connor said.

"July and August were very strong, but that momentum was sidetracked when tropical storm Irene paid a visit. It took us a couple weeks to repair roads and replace bridges, but everything is open and we are back on track welcoming visitors for the foliage season.

Falling gas prices are also helping to get visitors back on the road, although O'Connor said one industry was hit hard by the economic storm earlier this summer.

"Domestic bus tour business was a bit soft due to cancellations" which came about because of the national debt debate, said O'Connor. People see FOLIAGE page 63
