(NY TIMES) — If you or your child came down with influenza during the H1N1, or swine fl u, outbreak in 2009, it may not have happened the way you thought it did.

A new study of a 2009 epidemic at a school in Pennsylvania has found that children most likely did not catch it by sitting near an infected classmate, and that adults who got sick were probably not infected by their own children.

Closing the school after the epidemic was under way did little to slow the rate of transmission, the study found, and the most common way the disease spread was a through child’s network of friends.

Researchers learned all this when they studied an outbreak of H1N1 at an elementary school in a semirural community in spring 2009. They collected data in real time, while the epidemic was going on.

With this information on exactly who got sick and when, plus data on seating charts, activities and social networks, they were able to use statistical techniques to trace the spread of the disease from one victim to the next. Their report appears online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Egyptians defy crackdown with new protests CAIRO (NY TIMES) — Cracks in the Egyptian establishment’s support for President Hosni Mubarak began to appear Friday as jubilant crowds of hundreds of thousands packed the capital’s central Tahrir Square to call for his ouster, this time unmolested by either security police or uniformed Mubarak loyalists.

While ousting Mr. Mubarak remained the principal objective of the throngs in the square, leaders of the protest movement began grappling with the question of what might come next, hoping to avoid repeating history and handing power to another

military-backed president for life.

In Washington, President Obama and his aides were in discussions with Egyptian officials about a plan for passing power from Mr. Mubarak to a provisional government headed by the current vice president, Omar Suleiman. But it was not clear how they were going to induce the stubborn and prideful 82-year-old president to step down.

In an appearance on Friday, Mr. Obama said he was encouraged by the restraint exercised in Tahrir Square and reiterated that “there needs to be a transition now” to a new government. He said the details

Smaller New Orleans after Katrina NEW ORLEANS (NY TIMES) — When Hurricane Katrina hit and the murky waters rushed through levee breaches, even the facts were drowned.

Official documents were destroyed, years of photographs were ruined, and a city’s ability to know itself was lost. Answers to basic questions like how many people lived here, where they lived and who they were could not be easily answered.

Now there fi nally are some numbers, and they show that the city is 29 percent smaller than a decade ago.

The Census Bureau reported on Thursday that 343,829 people were living in the city of

SAYWHAT...

“

I love New Orleans physically. I love the trees and the balmy air and the beautiful days.

I have a beautiful house here.”

— Ann Rice

New Orleans on April 1, 2010, four years and seven months after it was virtually emptied by the fl oodwaters that followed the hurricane.

The numbers portray a significantly smaller city than in the previous census, in 2000, though it should be said that New Orleans had been steadily shrinking even then. In 1990, it was the 24th-biggest city in the country, in 2000, the 31st, and now it has surely dropped from the top 50.

The latest fi gure is lower than estimates cited widely by many here in recent months.

It is lower, by roughly 10,000, than the offi cial census estimate in the summer of 2009.

THE

of that transition remained to be worked out by the Egyptians, and that it was his understanding that “some discussions have begun.”

After signs of a looming crackdown Thursday, Mr. Mubarak’s forces appeared to pull back Friday, and on the 11th day of the atmosphere in Tahrir Square reverted from embattled to jubilant once again.

Protesters have remained in uncontested control of the square since about 5:00 a.m.

Thursday, when they won a 14-hour war of stones and Molotov cocktails against gangs of Mubarak loyalists.

Crops wither and prices rise in Chinese drought HONG KONG (NY TIMES) — A severe drought in northern China has badly damaged the winter wheat crop and left the ground very dry for the spring planting, fueling infl ation and alarming China’s leaders.

President Hu Jintao and Prime Minister Wen Jiabao separately toured droughtstricken regions this week and have called for “all-out efforts” to address the effects of water shortages on agriculture, state media reported on Thursday.

Mr. Wen made a similar trip

just 10 days ago and called for long-term improvements in water management.

Rising food prices were a problem last autumn, even before the drought began, prompting the government to impose a wide range of price controls in mid-November. The winter wheat crop has been parched since then in northern China while unusually widespread frost has hurt the vegetable crop in southern China.

State media began warning a week ago that price controls on food might not be effective.

Northway Bank branches inspected after bomb threat BERLIN — All Northway Bank branches in the state were evacuated or inspected yesterday after a bomb threat was called into the bank’s Berlin headquarters.

Company offi cials said someone called headquarters at about 10 a.m. to say there was a bomb in the building. The caller hung up after being asked which building.

Northway then contacted state and local police, who evacuated or shut down the 20 bank branches in the state. Security sweeps were done in each building.

Bank manager Richard Olson said everything seemed to go smoothly at his branch.

“The employees were great,” he said. “We have a wonderful disaster plan in place, which they followed to a T. There’s a good plan for each location.”

Olson added: “We received a call. . there was a bomb in the building.” When the caller was asked

“The employees were great. We have a wonderful disaster plan in place, which they followed to a T. There’s a good plan for each location.” which building, the call was terminated.

Bank offi cials said most branches were closed for about 20 minutes.

Police were also investigating a break-in at the Northway branch in Belmont. Investigators said that at about 1:30 a.m. yesterday, someone entered the bank’s foyer and smashed an ATM. Olson said this was the fi rst such call and declined to provide any additional information, saying the investigation is ongoing.

Police aren’t saying whether they think the break-in and bomb threat were related. — Courtesy WMUR, Union Leader

Benefit Latchkey Cup highlights weekend of great ice racing in Moultonboro MOULTONBORO — The Lakes Region Ice Racing Club sponsored two days of oval track ice racing last weekend. Saturday featured the largest ice racing event in the northeast, the 27th annual Latchkey Cup. The club struggled with water and slush issues during the week to prepare the racing surface, but with several sub-zero nights and a lot of work, the track was in great shape for the Saturday racing.

The cook shack was in place and the souvenir stand setup as race cars, crews and fans streamed onto Berry Pond.

After a driver’s meeting and the preliminary hot laps, the crews prepared their cars for the qualifying heats. Racers in the Junior, Front Wheel Drive, Rear Wheel Drive, Stock and ModiďŹ ed Divisions took to the track for the morning qualifying races.

After a mid-day lunch break and a “meet the drivers and check out the cars� session, the racers prepared for the day’s feature events.

First out were the Junior Division drivers, the 13-15 year olds. Chris Taylor (8) of Moultonboro, led the way, followed by Kailyn Murphy (14) and Jackie Martel (32) in her bright red VW. Next up were the Front Wheel Drive cars. Nick Berry of Manchester, driving Ryan Avery’s 01 car, led the early laps, but overheating issues relegated him

to third place. Cody Ryder (06) of Center Ossipee, took over the lead and out-paced Kira Murphy (08) of Ossipee.

The V8 Sock Division took to the track next.

Shane Eldridge (75) in his beautifully prepared Monte Carlo took a hard fought ďŹ rst place. In second was Danny Cook (1) of South Tamworth, took second with Scott Brooks (56) of Freedom, picking up the third place trophy.

The Rear Wheel Drive Division was next out. Tim Chase (40) of NorthďŹ eld, in his super fast MR2 drove a  awless race taking ďŹ rst place. Matt Burns (00) of Moultonboro, took second place and Matt Morrill (9) of Moultonboro, after pitting to replace a thrown chain, placed third.

The mighty ModiďŹ ed feature took to the ice next.

The duel between Ray Johnson (79) of Thornton, and Jack Cook (14) of Moultonboro, that took place in the qualiďŹ er did not continue in the feature after Jack broke a suspension part dropping the seat pan onto the drive shaft.

Instead of Jack, it was Matt Taylor (4) of Moultonboro, and later Ryan Avery (01) of Campton, who challenged Ray for the win. see next page

Ray drove a great race and eventually pulled away from Ryan who fi nished second with Matt settling for third.

The final event of the day was the Celebrity Race, which is a regular part of the Latchkey Cup. The celebrities are area racing stars that are invited to compete with borrowed cars. Brad Leighton driving John Stephens’ beautiful #27 Camero to the win after a heated battle with Kirk Alexander. Kirk was driving Scott Brooks’ #56. Arron Fellows, driving Randy Washburn’s #49, ran well until he broke an A-frame on the last lap, but still managed third.

Allen Fellows, driving Danny Cook’s one-of-a-kind #1 car, drove to 4th place after providing the most spectacular snow shower of the day after hitting the snow bank in turn two.

The annual Latchkey Cup race, this was the 27th, benefi ts the Norris Cotton Cancer Center in Hanover. The fan-tastic support this year will make another generous donation possible.

Last year’s defending champions, Kevin Tilton of Conway, and Amber Ferreira of Concord, won the 6th Annual Sidehiller Snowshoe Race last weekend. This was Tilton’s fifth straight Sidehiller win on what proved to be tough 4-mile course with sugar-fi ne snow conditions. There were 108 fi nishers, a new record for the race. The race was a qualifier for the 2011 National Snowshoe Championships to be held later this year in Wisconsin. NH Chronicle captured the event for piece airing soon. Paul Kirsch was race director.

DIGEST OF STORIES IN THE SUN THIS WEEK

Saturday, Jan. 29 • Self-described “country” doctor Mary Nash, of Fryeburg, is closing her private practice, but she’s not leaving the health-care field. “I’m getting out of the business of medicine and going back to the art of medicine,” she says.

• Five finalists have been selected, and voting is now open for “the most iconic Mount Washington panoramic photo.”

Tele-Talk

Should the town spend the money to keep the sidewalks clear along the Route 16 strip?

The snow is piling up — including on the sidewalks on the east side of the North Conway commercial strip.

As a cost-saving step, the town this winter is not picking up snow that has been plowed onto the sidewalk from the road. Business owners along the strip are not happy. Nate Sullivan, owner of Blueberry Muffin Restaurant and Yankee Clipper Motor Inn, said there are over 400 hotel rooms in that vicinity, and many visitors enjoy walking from their rooms to nearby stores and restaurants. “This is a very challenging time economically,” Sullivan said. “To put a choke hold on people getting through town scares me.” Janice Crawford, of Mount Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce, said visitors and tourism-related business should be considered in town decisionmaking. “A penny saved is not a penny earned in these scenarios,” Crawford said. Selectmen are scheduled to discuss the matter at their meeting on Tuesday at 4 p.m. at town hall.

IN REVIEW NATIONAL PERSPECTIVE

Breaking up is hard to do Anastasio Somoza was a bulwark against Nazi influence in Central America. Ferdinand Marcos was a reformer and nation builder. Antonio de Oliveira Salazar emerged in Portugal as a symbol of integrity and stability. Jimmy Carter said that “Iran, because of the great leadership of the shah, is an island of stability.” The United States tilted toward Saddam Hussein in the Iran-Iraq war.

As all the world is discovering, Hosni Mubarak’s name fits comfortably in this chronicle.

Mubarak came to power after the assassination of Anwar Sadat. He has pleased five American presidents and a generation of congressional leaders by providing Israel with stable and quiet borders, was one of the largest beneficiaries of American economic and military support, and established himself as one of the mainstays of American foreign policy in the Middle East.

The repressive nature of Mubarak’s rule has been well-known to American diplomats, who in some cases encouraged the Egyptian leader’s resolve against Islamist influences, especially the Muslim Brotherhood. For most of the last three decades, Americans have looked the other way or pretended not to see that Egypt had elections but was not a democracy, professed openness but did not cultivate it, and supported economic mobility but did not foster it.

This winter everything changed, and the American diplomats who for so long accommodated Mubarak sought to distance the United States from him. This is a familiar galliard, the orchestrated leap away from a strongman whose utility to the United States is spent, whose popularity in his own country is dissipated, whose pinions of support are crumbling and whose days are numbered.

Mubarak may have been “our S.O.B.,” in the phrase that Franklin Roosevelt used to describe Rafael Trujillo, the jefe of the Dominican Republic, but the United States spent last week seeking to dissolve its ties to him ASAP. This month’s Mubarak crisis underlines an unfortunate aspect of American foreign policy — the difficulty of letting go, often from a once-promising figure whose interests coincided with American interests but whose inclinations veered from American values.

Once they were useful. Often they were odious.

Then changes on the ground, or more precisely on the streets, changed the political calculus.

“The people decide,” says Stephen W. Bosworth, who as American ambassador to the Philippines helped ease Marcos from power in 1986. “They set the context and then we decide what to do. In the end our relationship with a country, and our interests in that country, outweigh the relationship with a person.”

Bosworth, now dean of the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts, adds: “Knowing when to cut loose is as important as anything else.”

Breaking up is hard to do. The United States had long relationships with some of the most obdurate tyrants of the 20th century, who helped contain communism, or advance American economic interests, or provide American air and naval bases in critical regions.

Many of these figures had a stubborn desire to hang on, often to enrich themselves, sometimes to enjoy the prerogatives of power, almost always because of the (legitimate) fear that the moment they left the palace they would be killed. The

common thread: They hoped to die of natural causes, and to do that they needed to remain in office.

Mubarak’s pledge to leave the presidency after September’s elections was a variation on the theme, as he decided not to run for re-election after President Barack Obama pressed him in a difficult 30-minute telephone call Tuesday. But Obama’s meaning was unmistakable: The United States was withdrawing support from one of its most loyal allies.

“Up until last week there wasn’t this degree of popular mobilization against Mubarak,” says Wendy Pearlman, a Northwestern University specialist in comparative Middle East politics. “There was repression, there was corruption, there was rule that was not democratic, but U.S. policy was resigned to it and many Egyptians were resigned to it.”

Tunisia and its Jasmine Revolution broke the barrier of fear and made Egyptians believe that if they, too, took to the streets they might bring down their ruling regime. “Mubarak was an American ally, but suddenly the Egyptian people spoke very loudly and unmistakably,” Pearlman says. “It forced the United States to re-evaluate.”

More important, this Egyptian moment casts that country of 80 million on a new path in the modern history of an ancient nation that began with British rule and led to the Free Officers Movement of Col. Gamal Abdel Nasser and now to destinations unknown.

In his history of the Muslim Brotherhood, Richard P. Mitchell tells of how six workers came to Hasan al-Banna, the founder of the group, eight decades ago. “We are weary of this life of humiliation and restriction,” the workers said. “Lo, we see that the Arabs and the Muslims have no status and no dignity. They are not more than mere hirelings, belonging to the foreigners. We possess nothing but this blood ... and these souls ... and these few coins.”

Today the protesters are members of the new Middle Eastern middle class, but still largely without freedom and often without prospects, particularly the young, who make up the largest and most educated generation in Arab history. They have joined comrades who once conducted their own days of rage on the streets of Manila and Tehran, and they have done more than force the United States to re-evaluate its alliances. They have forged a future for themselves.

The challenge for the United States is to adapt to that new future.

“You try to hold to a few basic principles,” says Bosworth. “One is that people are mortal but relationships between countries endure. Another is that national interests endure. We as a country have a strong national interest in having a decent working relationship with Egypt, a pivotal country in the Arab world. Our interests are not going to diminish just because there has been a revolt against Mubarak.”

Everything has changed inside Egypt — but the task for American diplomats is to assure that little changes in the relationship between the two countries. Suddenly the Obama administration has one more test and trial.

Charity giving a win/win for community To the editor: As M&D Productions is gearing up for our 11th season of award winning quality theatre with “The Diary of Anne Frank,” my marketing volunteers are tirelessly combing all potential M&D supporters to help augment our cost for the season this year. Luckily Eve, our ad sales rep, has a thick skin when it comes to rejections; because I would say about 90 percent are saying “No thank you, I wish I could, but the economy is has been very hard on us last year.” or “We need to cut back and donations to nonprofi ts isn’t in our budget this year.”

While I won’t debate the necessities of nonprofi ts in this climate or the huge role they have here in Mount Washington Valley, I have often argued that charities are a major part of our economy and ought to be more directly recognized in efforts to stimulate the economy. In a piece in the Chronicle of Philanthropy in 2009, David Ross of the Pennsylvania Association of Nonprofi t Organizations (and I concur) urged a temporary increase in charitable contribution deductions for those who actually increased their giving for general operating expenses. The reasons were simple. Charities will spend new funds very quickly, on goods and services that generally benefi t the public in some signifi cant way, and predominantly here in the United States not to mention right here in the Mount Washington Valley.

It is hard to imagine a more

direct stimulus to our local economy. The scope of this concept could help answer so many shortfalls in the finances of the theatre and it’s mission. So we urge you to please consider supporting M&D Productions along with other local charities.

I do a lot of reading pertaining to theatres, business in New Hampshire, and both of it’s connections as it ties to the community, I have found numerous examples of how charity giving is a win/win.

In December, when Congress extended the current tax rates, it also extended the IRA rollover (which many charities are using to make a new appeal to their donors), and created a new one-year reduction in payroll taxes that directly increases the take-home pay of all employees. For many of those who get the benefi t, the windfall will not be necessary to pay accumulated bills or maintain their standard of living.

I feel charities should use this opportunity to ask their donors to share the benefit. I will assure our donors that the money will be spent promptly, on public goods or local services the donors care about, here at home, it will stay local, and you can see the physical results of your donation to M&D Productions. It could be both economically productive and patriotic.

This way we all do our part to help this economy and make a difference.

Mark DeLancey, executive director M&D Productions Conway

Erik Eisele, reporter for The Conway Daily Sun, spent two weeks in Iraq on assignment for New Hampshire Public Radio.

Land of surprises: Journalist returns from Iraq

BY ERIK EISELE THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

Iraq is a lot of things, just not what I expected.

I landed in Baghdad on Jan. 17, three days after leaving New Hampshire, unsure of where I was going to spend the night. It wasn’t the last time I’d have that feeling.

I was there for New Hampshire Public Radio.

Using a microphone, recorder, laptop and camera, I wanted to help people back home better understand Iraq. Combat operations are over, but with roughly 50,000 U.S. soldiers it isn’t a country Americans can afford to be ignorant about.

At that point, however, I didn’t understand it myself.

Today I’m not sure I have a much better idea.

Eight years after the invasion, Iraq is still adrift.

From the police to the army to the border guards, it’s in question whether Iraqis will be able to govern and protect their country. The Inside a Humvee with soldiers from the 3rd Armored Cavalry.

from preceding page

American military is providing a guiding hand, but it’s no longer their fight. They are in the background, training and supporting their Iraqi counterparts, and wondering if they can do enough before they are asked to leave.

That’s the story I heard on my way to Iraq and once I got there, but it’s not the one I was there to report on. I was there to tell New Hampshire listeners what New Hampshire soldiers are doing. The politics were fair game, but not the focus.

But as I entered the airport, that was the least of my concerns. I wanted dinner.

The airport is surrounded by a sprawling military base named Victory, with buildings interspersed among a maze of 15-foot-high concrete blast walls.

I kept my helmet and bulletproof vest on, not knowing how dangerous it was on the base, plus a winter jacket. I waited outside the terminal for a public affairs offi cer to pick me up and start my journey for real.

And a journey it was. I visited places I’ve heard in news reports for years, like the Green Zone, rode alongside the gunner in a Blackhawk helicopter to a base that still gets shelled every night, and watched the sunrise over Iranian mountains. I met soldiers from around the state, from Groveton to Manchester. From mail clerks to truck drivers to base commanders, I asked them about their experiences. I asked them how they liked being there, and what things surprised them and caught them off guard.

For me, that’s what Iraq was: surprises. It was the sunrises, for example, among the most spectacular I’ve ever seen — orange spread over the sand and sky like lava. It was the way kids ran out as convoys drove by, arms waving like hummingbirds. It was the buildings left standing after eight years of destruction, and the palm trees and groves surrounding the oases and palaces.

It was a wake-up call, a notice, that after eight years of following news coverage I still didn’t know Iraq. There were so many things I didn’t know.

One of those was the military. This was my introduction to the an alien world of acronyms and hierarchy. That fi rst night, when I was told my ride would meet me in front of the DFAC, I had no idea what that meant. (It’s short for dining facility.)

I slept in my CHU (containerized housing unit), used the Internet at the MWR (morale, welfare and recreation) building, and shopped at the PX (post exchange). It was an immersion course in Army.

I met specialists, sergeants, corporals and captains, and was consistently impressed with the soldiers. They were professional, friendly and forthcoming. They were engaged in the mission, and they wanted to see a bright future in Iraq.

But they were worried. They were concerned their efforts wouldn’t be enough, even though few of them would say that on tape. They knew they had no guarantee of success, but they weren’t about to give up.

But waiting for my ride, standing in front of the DFAC, I didn’t know any of this. I knew there were stories to tell, and that story hadn’t been told often enough. It’s gotten lost among stories on the economy, elections, Afghanistan and snow storms. For me it was a chance to see a country most people never do, but it was also a chance to connect people back home with their friends, families and fellow New Hampshire citizens a world away. I told the stories I could, a fraction of what’s out there.

Freedom board approves cell tower

BY DAYMOND STEER THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

FREEDOM -- A proposal to build the first cell tower in town took a major step forward last week when the zoning board granted the applicant a variance on a tower height restriction.

Now the project moves to the planning board.North Atlantic Towers, a Florida-based company, had sought to build a 175-foot cell tower in the area of 53 Moulton Road. The tower would have room for six telecommunication carriers, including AT&T Mobility. Jonathan Springer,of Springer Law Offi ce, of Portsmouth, is seeking a variance from a restriction that limits the tower

height to 10 feet above the average tree height.

On Jan. 25, the zoning board approved the variance but capped the height at 145 feet as one of the conditions. The zoning board said it will be up to the planning board to consider drainage, noise from the generator and issues of fuel type and storage.

The applicant must agree to support the town's emergency communications equipment on the tower. The tower cannot be lit.

The applicant has one year to build the tower from the fi nal appeal period of the planning board's approval. The variance will expire if the tower has not been built by then.

Doherty is top American at Youth World Biathlon Championships

BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

NOVE MESTO, Czech Republic — Conway's Sean Doherty is making the most of his opportunity at the International Biathlon UnionYouth/ Junior World Biathlon Championships at Nove Mesto in the Czech Republic this week.

The sophomore at Kennett High School has been the top U.S. finisher in two of the three races he's been in thus far — the accomplishment is all the more impressive when you consider he's two years younger than the official youth age.

The championships wrapped up Friday.

Doherty, age 15, has finished 50th, 37th and 65th in individual events and was one of three Americans (Casey Smith and Sam Dougherty) entered in 3X7.5K relay. There were 19 nations competing in the fi nal event of the championships in the youth men division with the U.S. finishing 12th.

"It's all quite impressive," said Steve Vosberg, head cross country ski coach at Kennett High, said.

Held in the heart of the Bohemian Moravian Highlands, the youth and junior events are serving as a preview of the IBU Biathlon World Championships to be held in 2013.

Doherty, the son of Mary and Dan Doherty, finished 65th in Wednesday's 12.5K individual race. The race was won by Pavel Hancharou, of Bulgaria, who was fl awless on the shooting range at four different stops, fi nishing in 35:54.3.

Steffen Bartscher, of Germany, was second in 36:42.5 after encountering two shooting penalties. Vetie Sjastad Christiansen, of Norway, rounded out the top three in 37:37 with three shooting penalties.

Doherty crossed the finish line in 45:42.9 with eight shooting penalties. He was the

third fastest U.S. fi nisher behind Smith, 30th, 41:49 with four shooting penalties; and Dougherty, 54th, 44:13.9 with fi ve shooting penalties.

Teammate Raymond Wonders was 69th, 46:06.8 with five shooting penalties.

There were 102 competitors in the event from 27 countries.

In his best race, Doherty was 37th in the 10K pursuit on Sunday and was the top American fi nisher in 33:56.7 with four shooting penalties.

Maxim Tsvetkov, of Russia, won the race in 28:04.6 with three shooting penalties.

Rounding out the top

three were Christiansen, second, 28:34.9 with four shooting penalties; and Alexandr Loginov, of Russia, third, 28:37.3 with four shooting penalties.

Smith, the other American in a fi eld of 60 racers, was 54th, 36:25.7 with seven shooting penalties.

Doherty was 50th in his opening race, a 7.5K sprint on Saturday.

He fi nished in 23:03.9 with three shooting penalties (there were two stops in the race).

Once again, he was the top U.S. finisher. Smith was 54th, 23:03.9 with five shooting penalties. Dougherty was 68th, 24:03.8 with four shooting penalties; and

Wonders, 77th, 25:11.6 with three shooting penalties.

The race was won

by Tsvetkov in 19:53.4 with two shooting penalties. Christiansen was second, 20:11.4 with two shooting penalties; and Loginov, third, 20:19.7.

In the fi nal relay, Russia captured fi rst in 1:04:25.6 with Italy second, 1:05:48.8, and Austria, third, 1:06:30.3. The United States finished 12th in 1:10:42.

Doherty was named to the USA Team, following his strong results at the American trials, held at the Vermont National Guard's Ethan Allen

Firing Range training site in Jericho, Vt., Dec. 28-30.

He was second Dec. 28 in the Youth Men's field sprint (despite still being two years younger than the offi cial youth age), where he was only 3.5 seconds behind winner Ray Winters, of Alaska, 24:17.2.

The following day, competing in the pursuit trials, he fi nished 13th, competing against 18-year-old athletes, in 38:02.07.

On the third day, in another sprint trials, Doherty, skiing for the Saratoga Biathlon Club out of Saratoga, N.Y., won the race in 22:40.1, besting

Dougherty, of Alaska, by 14 seconds.

Will Doherty performance lead to a future Olympics? As Max Cobb, U.S. Biathlon CEO, said following the selection of the Youth and Junior teams for the Worlds: “I am not going to make any predictions about the performances at the Youth/ Junior Worlds for this year, but I will say that I expect several of the athletes on this team to make a serious run at 2018 Olympic team and who knows — maybe one will be on the 2014 team, too.”

Raiders out-wrestle Mt. Valley in the Mid-States

BY CHARLIE TRYDER THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

FRYEBURG — The Fryeburg Academy wrestling team met a powerful Mt. Valley squad at the MidState Meet in Fryeburg on Saturday and emerged as the tournament champs. Every Raider who wrestled scored by reaching the semi-fi nals, and three won their weight class.

The fi nal Raider point total of 173.5 topped the Hawks score of 169, but the margin of victory was not a convincing one.

Coach Bryce Thurston values the win, but he cautioned that Mt. Valley was not at full strength. “They were missing a returning state champion who did not make weight,” he said. “They could have taken some points from us and added more to theirs if he had wrestled.”

At the same time, the Raiders needed to overcome a bad break, or rather a series of bad breaks, when five of their wrestlers drew byes in the fi rst round.

Thurston felt this might have equaled the bad break the Mt. Valley squad endured.

“The byes mean no points for those fi ve wrestlers in the first round,” he said. “A win is two points, but a few of them likely would have pinned their wrestler, so we could have picked up 20 more points. Who knows what would have happened if their star wrestled and we didn’t get byes.”

Regardless of all the intangibles at play, the Raiders showed that they could wrestle with the team that many project as the favorite at the state meet.

Thurston knows that they can wrestle with the Hawks, and he believes that his Raider team knows this as well, but the confi dence gained from Saturday should be beneficial nonetheless.

Sophomore Connor Sheehan continued his dominance of the 103-pound class. It appears that Sheehan is the perfect combination of strong and technically advanced. Since coming down to 103, Thurston says, there are few, if any, who can challenge him strength wise or technique wise.

Another sophomore, Jake Thurston, dominated his class as well. Thurston hoped to wrestle a tough opponent in the fi nals, but Pomerleau, of Lisbon, dropped a class and won the 125-pound division.

Thurston cruised through the 130 weight class.

Stephen Emery took the 152 class with a 4-2 win over Perkins, of Wells, but Thurston did not feel the match was as close as the score suggests.

“Stephen got called for stalling, and I think it was a tough call,” he said. “His opponent got escape points and Stephen lost points.”

Along with the three winners, there were three runner-ups for the Raiders. Kirk Hubbard lost to McNamara, of Lisbon, by pin in the 135-pound finals. Fred Stearns lost 3-0 to Webber, of Dirigo, in the 160 pound finals.

Stearns’ efforts impressed Thurston, “Fred just got on varsity with an injury to Matt Genest, and he beat a top four wrestler at the State Meet from last year to get into the semi-finals,” he said. “In the finals he lost 3-0, but the same kid pinned him two weeks ago. He just keeps getting better.”

The third runner-up was Peter Bacchiocci in the 145 weight class. Bacchiocci got caught on bottom early against Coloume, of Monmouth, and had to struggle according to Thurston, but he fought hard.

“He was on his back a long time,” Thurston said.

“Most wrestlers would have been pinned. I don’t know how he didn’t get pinned. He eventually even managed to escape after wrestling on his back for over a minute, and then he fought back to within a couple of points.”

In the biggest match of the day in terms of team results, Gio DiFazio pulled off a win the consolation round of the 285 pound weight class for a third place finish. Thurston and the Raiders knew going into DiFazio’s match that he needed a win for the Raiders to win the tournament, and he came through with a 9-3 win over French of Wells. Thurston gave DiFazio some sound advice entering the match.

“I told him to win the match for himsel f,” he said, “not to worry about the team. If he won for himself, everything else will take care of itself.”

Matt Frost also won his consolation match with a 6-2 win over Stevens, of Lisbon. Nate Hill at 171, JJ Bartlett at 140, Cote Boyd at 119, Ian McFawn at 189, and Derek Leavitt at 215 made it to the semifinals earning valuable Raider points and contributing to this impressive team win.

Thurston did not make any plans to spend time celebrating the win, as the Raiders need to strap on their headgear and get back on the mat for the MPA Western Maine Regional Meet today. And wouldn’t you know that the regionals, which will determine which individual wrestlers qualify for the state meet, will be held in Rumford, the home of Mt. Valley.

Thurston spoke of the Raiders’ goal at regionals.

“It should be another close one, but I just want all the kids to fi nish in the top four and qualify for the state meet. It’s a lot of fun to wrestle in that big a meet in Augusta, and I want to see all the guys get that experience.”

The State Championships are Feb. 12 in Augusta.

Weather snarls Super Bowl festivities; fans excited DALLAS (NY Times) — Mother Nature trumped the Texas-sized plans for Super Bowl week, dealing a blow to hopes for a care-free celebration of culture and hospitality. Several inches of snow fell Thursday night and yesterday morning, three days after an ice storm brought much of the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area skidding to a prolonged halt.

At least fi ve people were injured, one critically, on Friday afternoon when large slabs of ice slid off the roof of Cowboys Stadium and fell to the plaza below. Local television-station helicopters showed other slabs slowly sliding down the curved roof, and the N.F.L. said that entrances to the stadium, site of tomorrow’s Super Bowl XLV, had been temporarily closed for safety.

The unusual weather blasts led to cancellations of everything from flights to parties, and surely took a bite out of the $611 million economic impact that the North Texas Super Bowl XLV Host Committee estimated for the game. At best, organizers faced a public-relations mess that they never anticipated.

“I have never seen weather like this in all the time I’ve lived in Dallas,” said Art Duran, who owns Dallas Party Rentals, where half of the Super Bowlrelated parties have been canceled. He has lived in the area for 30 years, he said.

More than 20,000 fl ights were canceled this week around the country, and hundreds of them were destined for Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, including more than 100 yesterday. The area’s secondary airport, Love Field, was closed yesterday morning.

Roads, still covered in ice from the previous storm because temperatures have remained below freezing, were frosted with snow, a troublesome predicament for a spread-out metropolitan area ill-equipped to handle such blasts of winter.

The frosty double-whammy of Super Bowl week does not appear to threaten tomorrow’s Super Bowl between the Green Bay Packers and the Pittsburgh Steelers, although the teams have been forced to practice indoors. The game will take place under the retractable roof inside Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, midway between Dallas and Fort Worth. On Friday, Arlington reported five inches of snow.

Sports Illustrated’s Peter King, who covers the N.F.L., conveyed the mood with a single Twitter post: “I’m telling you: I-30 between Dallas + Fort Worth is a plow-less, snow-windswept moonscape.

This is officially a debacle.”

It serves as a chilling reminder of what might be expected in 2014 when the Super Bowl is played at the roofless New Meadowlands Stadium in New Jersey.

The N.F.L. awarded the home of the Giants and Jets the fi rst-ever Super Bowl to be played outdoors at a cold-weather site amid criticism that an ill-timed storm could wreak havoc on the best-laid plans.

“I think you have to be prepared for everything,” N.F.L. Commissioner Roger Goodell said during his annual state-of-the-league news conference Friday.

“North Texas was prepared if this happened. And certainly in New York, not only are they prepared, they’re probably planning on this type of weather.

I think the fact is, they’re going to be prepared for this. I think it’s going to be a fantastic Super Bowl here, and I also think it’s going to be a fantastic Super Bowl in New York.”

Better weather is on the way to North Texas. Snow was expected to end Friday afternoon, and temperatures in the 40s are forecast for the weekend. That means falling ice should not be a danger for the game’s “Party Plaza,” where fans have purchased $200 tickets to watch the game on a big screen in the stadium parking lot.

The game, though, is increasingly seen as a mere exclamation point on a celebratory week. Tourism officials, along with restaurants, retailers, golf coursesand party organizers, expected a big surge in business, especially with two of the N.F.L.’s most fervent fan bases eager to cheer their Packers and Steelers.

Instead, it has felt more like the Packers and Steelers packed their hometown winter weather and brought it with them. Streets and plazas are mostly empty as fans huddle in hotel lobbies. The Jets’ owner, Woody Johnson, was expecting to play

golf today, his tee time arranged by the Cowboys’ owner, Jerry Jones. There will be no such outdoor activities.

Tony Fay, spokesman for the North Texas host committee, said that hotels have not reported widespread cancellations and that no N.F.L.-related events had been canceled.

“While we have ice and snow, and it’s not what we might have wanted, it’s not debilitating,” Fay said.

It has raised fears here that North Texas, hosting the Super Bowl for the fi rst time, may not be granted a second one in the near future. Jones, who persuaded other owners to bring the Super Bowl to the Dallas area even before construction began on the $1.2 billion Cowboys Stadium, hopes to bring the 50th Super Bowl here, too.

“This is inordinate,” Jones said during a news conference Wednesday. “So I think all of that would be

factored in. I do believe the attendance, the economics, this part of the United States, will be recognized.”

With the proliferation of indoor or retractable-roof stadiums, warm weather is hardly the prerequisite for the Super Bowl that it once was. Five years ago the N.F.L. held the Super Bowl indoors in Detroit.

Next year’s Super Bowl will be in Indianapolis. Last year’s game, in South Florida, came after a week of cold, wet weather.

But there may be no Super Bowl week as waylaid as this one. Events are so spread out across what is called the Metroplex — Dallas and Fort Worth are more than 30 miles apart — it has had a wicked effect on logistics. Few cities and towns have plows or use salt on the roads. While the geography is relatively fl at, the soaring tangles of ramps that connect the freeways have been rendered impassable in places. Three of the main airport’s seven runways were closed yesterday.

Pettitte retires a Yankee NEW YORK (NY Times) — Andy Pettitte said his arm feels good enough to report to spring training and his body feels good enough to pitch another season for the Yankees, but he made his decision to retire when he realized his heart was not in it anymore.

Pettitte appeared at a news conference yesterday at Yankee Stadium to announce formally that he is stepping away from baseball after 16 seasons, 13 of them with the Yankees. He becomes the fi rst of the four players — Derek Jeter, Jorge Posada and Mariano Rivera being the others— who formed the core of a team that won five World Series to put down his glove.

Fresh air and fresh snow After the storm in Crawford Notch. (ED PARSONS PHOTO)

If you ruminate about Crawford Notch for a minute, and your own experience there, you realize what a special place it is. This Thursday morning, on the day after the snowstorm, I added a very short hike to my list of experiences there, and was also reminded of past experiences.

I had been nursing a bad cold for a few days, and it was only beginning to let up. Thursday morning dawned clear. I thought: Why don’t I go snowshoe the Sam Willey Trail in Crawford Notch, a trail that hiking columnist Steve Smith wrote about three weeks ago?

It’s short and sweet — just a one mile hike across from the Willey House, and it would be fun to break trail in virgin snow on such a beautiful blue morning after a storm. I wasn’t out of the woods yet with my cold, but knew that exercise combined with breathing in pure cold air would do wonders.

I also knew that the length of a hike wasn’t important to glean enough material for a column. The Dalai Lama recommends brief meditation sessions for beginning meditators. This was similar. The world is

Hiking ––––– Ed Parsons

contained in a drop of water, a five-minute meditation, or a one-mile loop hike.

But first, the hike had to happen.

It was a beautiful early morning drive up Route 302 on a packed down layer of snow. The plows were just finishing up. At the northern viewpoint located at the entrance to Crawford Notch State Park, the view of Mount Washington was crystal clear. But as I continued on, clouds billowed up in the notch ahead, and Mount Willey was obscured.

A plow passed heading south.

I pulled over at the Willey House. The big parking lot across the street wasn’t plowed yet. Heck, there was nowhere to park! I got out of my car and experienced a cold wind blowing down the notch. To the west, all was

obscured by cloud. Once gain, the clouds were backed up on the west side of the mountains.

I decided to continue on to Bretton Woods, linger a little and come back through later, hoping the parking lot might be plowed by then, and the sun out more.

I drove west under dark clouds. Later, I found myself driving into the Mount Washington Hotel for a brief walk around the lobby and fi rst floor. It was pleasant to walk into the toasty warmth of the building. The place was a hub of activity, and it reminded me of a ship, yet surrounded by silent, snow covered woods.

Walking back out the front door, I looked south to a lonely V of clear sky in the notch — the age-old view of the Notch of the White Mountains. It looked like it was clearing down there.

As I drove south past the AMC’s Highland Center and down into the notch, the sun came out. The Willey House parking lot wasn’t plowed yet. But it looked like the highway plows were done for the morning. I see HIKING page 24

HIKING from page 23

decided to just pull over as far as I could and take my chances, walk across the street and go for a short hike.

The steep notch was at its post-storm best, with lingering clouds trailing off the snow dowsed Webster Cliffs, above. I donned snowshoes, climbed the plow bank, crossed the wooden dam over the young Saco River and walked into the woods, following a trough of old snowshoe tracks covered with a foot of new snow to a trail junction.

I took a right on the Sam Willey Trail, named for the father of the family that died in the Willey disaster in the summer of 1826. That event, perhaps more than any other, spurred on White Mountain tourism. But on this beautiful morning, I wouldn’t think much about it until I returned from my hike and looked across the highway to where it actually happened.

Words fail in trying to describe the freshness of walking through the snow covered woods after being stuck inside with a cold for a few stormy days. Big hunks of accumulated powder snow occasionally fell from spruce crowns, and I almost got beaned by one, but that was OK. I reached a loop at the end of the trail, and continued to the left, soon reaching the junction with the Saco River Trail. But I continued around the small loop. Finally I reached a great north facing lookout, that took in the Saco River, the cliff face on Mount Willard at the end of the notch, and the Webster Cliffs to the right.

I completed the loop and slowly retraced my packed-down steps on the Sam Willey Trail to the original trail junction. Loath to end the walk, I continued straight on another short trail called the Pond Loop, which came out on the side of the small Willey Pond, then back to the main trail.

The northern view was outstanding from the shore

of the pond. When I turned to walk along the shore, I was looking directly across the highway up at the side of Mount Willey, where the landslide of 1826 had come down.

Ten years ago, I was looking at copy of a new Arcadia Press book, of old pictures of the White Mountains. I came across a hundred year old photo of “The rock that split the Willey Slide.” If you recall, the Willey family heard the landslide begin on the mountain slope up above, and they ran out of the house, and all were killed. The house, however, remained intact. The slide had split, and gone on both sides of it.

Armed with the book, I drove up to the notch, walked behind the state buildings, and in the thick woods behind the present day generator building, found the boulder that was identical with the picture — the rock that had split the fateful slide. Then I bushwhacked uphill, where I thought the slide had come from.

I found a steep gully, and climbed up alongside it.

Perhaps a quarter mile up, I spied a huge chockstone, weighing quite a few tons, stuck in the gully. I thought, well, if that goes, there could be another Willey House disaster of sorts.

This Thursday, as I looked from Willey Pond across the highway to the site of the Willey House and the steep slopes above, I saw that the steep gully I had found 10 years previously, descended the slope well to the left of the rock that had split the Willey Slide. From this perspective, it looked like that an entire section of the mountainside had come down to the right of that, in the 1826 slide.

A geologist might find these comments of little consequence, but they walked through my mind as I left the woods and re-crossed the dam to the highway. I was reluctant to take off my snowshoes and end the outing, and I clomped across the hard snow surface to my car.

THE SNOW REPORT

Superbowl Party

Super weekend for ice and snow

BY TOM EASTMAN THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — It's Super Bowl Weekend — but with the Patriots not playing in the big game, of more interest locally in snow-covered Mount Washington Valley, it's Ice Climbing Festival Weekend and Race to Beat Cancer Weekend.

Super Bowl Weekend is always one of the best times to go skiing and riding. The slopes are uncrowded, because everyone gets into their heads that they need to be home, getting ready for the big game.

Air time is not until 6:30 p.m. on FOX Sunday — so that gives skiers and riders plenty of time to get out and enjoy snowy winter wonderland that awaits, especially after all of the great foot or more of powda that fell on the tracks and trails this week.

The conditions couldn't be finer. Period! So get out and ski and ride, well before before game time.

••• RACE TO BEAT CANCER: The 34th annual Race to Beat Cancer is be held Sunday, Feb. 6, at Cran-

more Mountain Resort.

The event last year raised $15,000 for cancer research and local cancer patient services.

Kathy Metz, community organizer for the American Cancer Society event, tells us you may gather donations from friends and family and enjoy a fun-filled day on the slopes. All ages and abilities are welcome.

You may enter as a snowboarder or skier, for the NASTAR-formatted race, or you may take some timed turns down the snow tubing course.

Participants may register on the third fl oor of the Main Base Lodge the morning of the race beginning at 8:30 a.m. A minimum of $75 per racer will be charged of adults and $50 for those aged 17 and under. Participants receive an all-day ski or tubing pass at Cranmore. Prizes will be awarded to fi rst, second and third male and female skier/ snowboarder in each category and for tubing.

For further information, call Kathy at 356-3719. see SNOW REPORT page 26

Awakening the Dreamer symposium on Feb. 8, 15 CONWAY — The Center for Natural Health and Eastern Mountain Sports is inviting everyone to a symposium on Feb. 8 (part 1) and Feb. 15 (part 2) from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at Eastern Mountain Sports in North Conway to explore a new global and local vision built on sustainability, spiritual fulfillment and social justice.

This symposium is inspired by indigenous people of the rainforest and the Pachamama Alliance, which was recently labeled “the most important single NGO (non-government organization) in the world right now,”

by Paul Hawken author of Blessed Unrest.

This symposium is for individuals who care about what is happening in the world, our communities and our families. As part of the agenda of the presentation, we will examine our biggest challenges and opportunities today: 1) The state of the industrial and non-industrial worlds and the thinking that brought us where we are now, 2) A new dream: new ideas about what really matters — leading us to deep connections and surprising solutions, 3) How everyone can be a part of what has been emerging at this time.

Through the symposium, individuals will have an opportunity to 1) reconnect deeply with the scope, complexity and urgency of the issues

facing our fragile planet, 2) challenge our inherited worldview and its role in bringing us where we are today — freeing us from our current assumptions, thinking and behavior, 3) view the Becky Mulkern future as not inevitable, but rather as “creatable”, and 4) be encouraged as an integral member of an ever-expanding network of global citizens committed to sustainability, social justice and spiritual fulfillment.

Led by trained volunteers (Becky Mulkern ND and others), this participatory symposium applies experiential exercises in order to position participants powerfully in a place of possibility, creativity, community and action.

Combining video segments, guided group interactions, quiet self-refl ection and shared feelings and ideas, gives an individual the opportunity to gain insights that generate hope, inspiration, purpose and a commitment to individual and collective action.

Call Becky Mulkern ND at (603) 447-3070 for more information and registration or register at Eastern Mountain Sports. The event is free, but donations will be accepted.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Lynn Johnston

by Scott Adams

DILBERT

by Darby Conley

By Holiday Mathis that you’ve experienced thus far.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your eyes have a special power to draw people in. Knowing this, you can fl utter those eyelashes and get into a sweet situation. Be judicious, though. Only go for what you really, really want.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Something you keep saying is detrimental to your image. Maybe it’s an improper use of vocabulary or, more likely, a negative view of a certain aspect of your life. Drop the old script and write a new one.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19 ).

You’ll have some time off to decompress and get back to your usual relaxed self.

Remember who you are! You’re the fun one who makes other people smile!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your excitement about a subject will get others interested in it -- and in you. You will share your knowledge and win a new friend or refresh an existing relationship.

PISCES (Feb. 19 -March 20). Stay in the present. You’ll fi nd it most relaxing. And, if you can stop yourself from fretting about the future or lamenting over the past, you will be the No. 1 goto-for-fun person today.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 5).

Your attitude is so attractive that you don’t have to worry about buying into fashion trends. You’re effortlessly gorgeous. Loved ones pay tribute to you this month. There will be travel and excellent deals between now and April.

Restructure your schedule in March, and there may be a move, as well. Leo and Sagittarius people find you irresistible. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 25, 49, 11 and 13.

Get Fuzzy

HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19 ). You will be asked to weigh in on a matter of ethics. You are honest and trustworthy in your dealings; therefore, it is extremely difficult for you to understand anyone who isn’t.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There’s someone you know so well that you don’t even need to look in this person’s eyes when you are speaking with him or her. However, you should anyway.

It’s inauspicious to be too casual with close relationships.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You genuinely see what is wonderful about the people in your life, and you comment accordingly. You are not trying to give compliments, and yet you give many. Your charm is sincere, and that is why it is so effective.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’re in a fantastic mood today, and everyone around you can feel the vibrations you radiate. You are both pleasant and selfless, which makes you attractive to successful people.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You still feel apprehensive about the future. Think exclusively about today, and make it the best day ever. No one wants to be around a worrywart -- mostly because, as everyone knows, the warts are contagious!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You have a high tolerance for discomfort, but that’s no reason to submit yourself to unnecessary emotional pain. If someone is hurting your feelings, tell them and make them stop.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your past misfortunes are so minor compared to the thousands of beautiful days, the millions of laughs and the untold number of positive, life-affirming events

Help Wanted

by Abigail Van Buren

COUPLE’S SECRET WEDDING LEAVES FAMILY IN THE DARK

DEAR ABBY: My older brother “Mike” was married several months ago. The family was informed after the fact. Mike and his bride, “Sophie,” didn’t elope. They had planned their church wedding for the better part of a year, and decided to include only a small group of friends while completely excluding the family. Naturally, this has caused hurt feelings. As far as I’m concerned, I have lost a sibling rather than gained one.

Mike and Sophie are now throwing themselves a party in their honor to celebrate their union. My mother not only wants me to attend, but expects me to give them a gift as well.

Mom says he is “family” and therefore I am obligated to give a gift. I say I wasn’t invited to their wedding so I’m under no obligation to give one. I have no desire to reward someone who thinks so little of me. What do you say? -- LEFT OUT SIBLING IN WISCONSIN DEAR LEFT OUT SIBLING: If you haven’t already done so, tell your brother how hurt you feel to have not been invited to his wedding, then listen to what he has to say. Give him a chance to mend fences. If that doesn’t happen, then skip the celebration. But remember that if you don’t attend, the rift that has been created may never be healed.

DEAR ABBY: I am a high school senior who is worried about leaving my older sister. “Jamie” is 10 years older and moved back home with my parents and me after she finished college. She takes medication because of her anxiety and stays in her room most of the time.

In the six years that Jamie has lived here she has made no friends or acquaintances. I believe I’m the only person she has a relationship with other than her therapist. As I spend more

time on schoolwork and projects and less time with her, she feels ignored and becomes desperate to spend time with me.

I feel I’m her only link to the outside world. I’m worried that when I move away she’ll lose that connection and not make any attempts to find a relationship or a job.

I care deeply about Jamie, but I want to go to college. How can I help her to get moving? -- MY SISTER’S KEEPER IN ILLINOIS DEAR SISTER’S KEEPER: I can think of two ways. The first is to not allow your sister’s mental disorder -- because that is what you are describing -- to keep you from going to college and having a life. Your sister has your parents, so she won’t be all alone. The second is to write a letter to her therapist explaining your concerns. If anyone can help your sister, it is her therapist.

DEAR ABBY: I have a friend from school who is very close to me. I only get to see her at lunch at school. We have managed to keep our friendship going through e-mails and sleepovers.

However, she is often not available for sleepovers, and when she is, she must always leave at 12 a.m.! I know it’s not just me because other friends of hers have said this, too. Once I asked her why she had to leave so early and she said it was her mom.

Why do you think her mom is so adamant about early endings? -- WONDERING IN ATLANTA DEAR WONDERING: It’s probably because your friend’s curfew ends at midnight or a little after, and her mother hasn’t given her permission to attend all-night sleepovers. But if you want to be sure -- have your mother ask her mother.

Gibson Center annual Valentine’s auction is Tuesday at Red Jacket That was quite a storm we had last Wednesday and I’m sure some of you out there are thinking, “Enough is enough!” Now, there’s no doubt that we’ve been in the middle of a snow track over the last few weeks but let’s look at it in a more positive way. Anyone who skis, snowmobiles or snowshoes is very happy. Business is great for ski areas, motels, restaurants and anyone who has a plowing or roof shoveling business. On top of that, it really looks pretty out there. If I haven’t changed your opinion about this winter and you’re still feeling a bit down just remember this — we’ve gained more than an hour of extra light since Christmas AND winter is already half over. Have a great day.

Please remember that we will be holding our annual auction at the Red Jacket Mountain View Resort in Hampshire Hall this Tuesday, Feb. 8. The silent auction begins at 5:30 p.m., followed by a live auction.

Last week I included in this column an item about how clean kitchens could prevent illness. I received a call from a reader, John Conway, who questioned the use of chlorine bleach for homes with septic systems. I have written the UNH Extension about this and I was advised that they will look into the matter. In the meantime, if you are worried about damage to your septic system, hold off on the cleaning suggestion. And thank you Mr. Conway for bringing this to my attention.

Elaine and Richard Wales had a short but wonderful visit with their grandson, Richie, last week. He flew from Florida to Portland in less than optimum conditions and had to leave the next day. Elaine is at Memorial Hospital for tests.

Paying off your mortgage early is alluring, but is pre-paying the best use of your money?

BY ERIK MARTIN CTW FEATURES

There’s a comforting feeling that comes with the notion that the house you live in will some day be fully and truly all yours — nothing further to owe your mortgage lender.

But while the inclination may be strong to prepay extra monies toward your mortgage, with the goal of saving thousands in mortgage interest and owning your home outright quicker, many experts caution that those extra funds could be put to better use via different investment vehicles.

Paying down the principal early may be a reassuring thought that can lower your stress level and increase fi nancial fl exibility, says Larry Luxenberg, a portfolio manager with Lexington Avenue Capital Management in New City, N.Y. For someone in a secure fi nancial position, “paying off the mortgage may provide a higher after-tax return on investment than alternative fi xed-income investments,” Luxenberg says. “However, if your fi nancial situation is shaky, it may make more sense to keep a liquid reserve instead of sinking excess funds into prepaying a mortgage.”

When you prepay the mortgage, “you don’t have that money under your control any more,” says Pete D’Arruda, president of Capital Financial Advisory Group, Cary, N.C. “You are, in effect, receiving a negative interest rate on the money tied up in the home’s equity,” he says. ‘You get a zero-percent return on money you don’t have any more, plus throw in the fact that infl ation today is at least three percent, so everything is costing more.”

What’s more, if you itemize income tax deductions and your mortgage interest if fully deductible, paying off your mortgage early will mean reduced interest deductions and, thus, higher income taxes.

Usually, for every $3 you pay in mortgage interest, you save about $1, on average, in taxes.

If you’re lucky enough to have extra funds to put toward your mortgage, it may be wiser to keep that money in a liquid account. This way, you’ll have emergency funds in reserve, and if you decide to pay off the house in the future, you’ll have those funds available.

According to Ethan Ewing, president of Bills. com, mortgage prepayments should only be considered if you’re already funding other key investments such as retirement and college savings.

Mortgage debt is generally the lowest interest rate loan you’ll get, so if you can earn greater than a 5-percent yield on your cash, and your interest rate is 5 percent or less, then it makes sense to invest that additional cash elsewhere.

In general, most people are better of investing in broad-based retirement vehicles with taxsheltered income, with puts Roth and traditional IRAs and 401(k)s at the top of the list, especially for those who receive a corporate match on their retirement accounts. Mutual funds are also much safer for most investors than individual stocks and bonds and can yield a much higher rate of return than CDs. If you’re going to devote those extra dollars to your nest egg, try to invest at least 10 percent of your gross income in one or more retirement funds.

But if you have any outstanding credit card debt, “you should pay that off first,” says Kevin Amolsch, president of Pine Financial Group, Inc. in Wheat Ridge, Colo. “Credit card rates are normally pretty high, so unless you know of a secure investment that pays a higher rate, it makes sense to eliminate that debt first.” © CTW Features

Bill to change Ossipee Lake high water mark to be heard Tuesday

SEWER CONNECTIONS

BY DAYMOND STEER

E/ONE PUMP STATIONS

OSSIPEE —A bill designed to end the uncertainty about who owns the land along the edge of Ossipee Lake will be heard by a legislative committee on Tuesday.

HB 278. will be heard by the House Resources, Recreation and Development Committee at 2:30 p.m. on Feb. 8, in room 305 of the Legislative Office Building in Concord.

If passed, HB 278 would change natural high water mark of Ossipee Lake from 410 feet above sea level to 406 feet. The bill reduces the amount of shoreline the state would own. Ossipee Lake Alliance found that a significant amount of people bought property along the lake that's below 410.

"Thirty-five survey respondents said the state owns more than 25 percent of their lake property as a result of the current benchmark, with 12 of those saying the state owns everything including their home," wrote Ossipee Lake Alliance Executive Director David Smith on Ossipeelake.com.

The 410 rule's importance became clear when the N.H. Department of Environmental Services began prohibiting people from making improvements on their property below the 410 mark, said the bill's prime sponsor, Rep. Mark McConkey of Freedom. As examples, McConkey said people haven't been able to repair or replace retaining walks or fix up already existing beaches.

"We're trying to resolve whose land it is," said McConkey. "This would remove the uncertainty making it easier for people to buy and sell land."

No one knows what state agency set the 410 rule or when, said Smith.

The proposed 406 rule is based on some historical data from the 1800s before the the lake was dammed, sad McConkey. Officials at the DES were

“Thirty-five survey respondents said the state owns more than 25 percent of their lake property as a result of the current benchmark, with 12 of those saying the state owns everything including their home.” hoping to have their recommended natural high water mark determined by January.

New Hampshire Dam Bureau head Jim Gallagher said based the investigation so far, the natural high water mark appears to be "no more than 408 feet." The state wasn't able to complete its investigation because of heavy rains in October prevented them from being able to look at the lake when it was low enough. Getting the number right is important because the state would have to defend it if it's challenged.

"We're not on opposite sides, we just haven't been able to complete our investigation," said Gallagher.

McConkey said 408 would clear up most of the issue.

"If we go to 408 most people would be able use the land they pay taxes on," said McConkey.

The committee has several options of what to do with the bill. As examples, they could pass it as is, or amend it to 408, or hold it until DES has an opportunity to complete its research.

If HB 278 passes through the committee, it will go on to the full House, the Senate and the governor.

Other Sponsors of the bill include Harry Merrow, (R-Ossipee), David Babson (R-Ossipee), and Sen. Jeb Bradley (R-Wolfeboro).

This bill would not impact septic system regulations and nor would it influence how the state regulates the level of the water. The state maintains the lake at 407.25 feet, said McConkey.

In town of Asbestos, a plan to restart the industry that made it prosperous

BY IAN AUSTEN NEW YORK TIMES

ASBESTOS, Quebec — The belief in asbestos lives on in this mining town of 7,000 people, not just in the name — retained despite its association with cancer — but in the ambitions of the mineral’s longtime champion here, G. Bernard Coulombe.

Coulombe, 69, says he believes that you can recapture the past. At a time when Canada, like many countries, is spending millions of dollars to remove asbestos from buildings, to say nothing of covering asbestos-related disability claims, Mr. Coulombe wants a $58 million loan guarantee from the province of Quebec. He is hoping to attract investors and revitalize the mine that gave rise to the town in 1879 and for more than a century has swallowed chunks of it into its ever-expanding pit.

Adding to the controversy over the plan, Coulombe’s strategy is to sell to countries like India, Pakistan and Vietnam, where enthusiasm for cheap asbestos often comes with a lax approach to workplace health and safety.

It would seem a quixotic venture. Coulombe’s proposal has been widely condemned by the medical and public health community both in Canada and abroad. The mineral’s dangers have largely elimi-

nated the market for it in Canada as well as the United States, where the last asbestos mine closed in 2002.

But while many Canadians outside Quebec view the mine’s survival as something of an international embarrassment, history suggests it would be unwise to dismiss Coulombe. The asbestos industry was once a prominent symbol of Quebec’s might in natural resources, and the mine — now known as Mine Jeffrey — played an outsize role in the province’s political history.

“The whole asbestos debate is purely emotional,” said Paul Lapierre, the vice president for cancer control at the Canadian Cancer Society and an opponent of Mr. Coulombe’s proposal. “As Quebeckers we were once so proud of our mining industry, including asbestos.”

The political strength of asbestos will be tested this month when the province is expected to announce a decision on the loan guarantee.

Jeffrey was once a key operation of Johns Manville, the American building materials company, and at one time provided most of the world’s supply of one type of asbestos. But over time a large body of scientific evidence linked it to lung cancer and mesothelioma, a fast-acting cancer of major organs, and asbestosis, a hardening of the lungs that ultimately

suffocates its victims.

In 1982, health-related lawsuits forced Johns Manville into bankruptcy; the Jeffrey mine was sold to its managers a year later.

The fortunes of asbestos have continued to sink.

After peaking at 4.79 million metric tons in 1977, worldwide production reached only 1.97 million metric tons last year. Some countries, including the members of the European Union, now ban the mineral’s general use. Synthetic fibers have assumed most of the tasks it once handled, if at a higher cost. Asbestos’s remaining markets are mainly less developed nations as well as China and the countries of the former Soviet Union and China, some of which have mines. Its one remaining attraction is its low cost.

Once it reaches developing countries, asbestos from the Jeffrey mine is usually mixed with cement and formed into inexpensive pipes and roof sheeting.

The town of Asbestos, once prosperous, has tracked the mineral’s decline. The former town hall sits abandoned. When repairs to the building proved unaffordable, the local government moved into a church it purchased for $1. The mine pit, which is about a mile wide and 1.2 miles long, and its two huge mills are currently inactive. see next page

As he rapped on a wall in his shabby office, Coulombe, an engineer who joined the mine 42 years ago, lamented that its asbestos-based wallboard was no longer available.

Coulombe readily acknowledges the mineral’s dangers and the harm it has done. But he asserted that the trouble mainly resulted from other forms of asbestos and not the variety, known as chrysotile, produced at Jeffrey as well as operations in nearby Thetford Mines. “The people against us in the medical community, they know nothing about chrysotile,” Coulombe said.

“We show our opponents all sorts of studies done over the last 25 years all around the world that demonstrate that there is no problem working with chrysotile. But they don’t take that into account. They say ‘It’s a carcinogen, it’s a carcinogen, it’s a carcinogen.’ ” While some studies suggest that the five other varieties of asbestos may be more dangerous, Coulombe’s opponents are adamant that this does not mean chrysotile is safe, even when used with precautions.

The World Health Organization has declared chrysotile a carcinogen and notes that “the most effi cient way to eliminate asbestos-related diseases is to stop the use of all types of asbestos.”

Coulombe said his potential investors were mainly his customers in India and Pakistan. The only one publicly identified is Baljit Singh Chadha,

whose Montreal-based trading company, Balcorp, is Jeffrey’s sales agent in India. Mr. Chadha has raised money for the provincial Liberal Party, which currently holds power, as well as the federal Liberal Party, which now opposes the asbestos industry.

For a province with a population of 7.9 million, the Jeffrey mine promises relatively little in economic terms. Mr. Coulombe’s hope is to close the open pit and complete an underground mine he started 14 years ago, employing up to 500 people.

But the mine occupies a signifi cant place in the province’s culture. Clément Gignac, the province’s economic development minister, noted that even the main opposition party supported the mine. “I think we will maintain our historical position on asbestos,” he said.

Criticism of asbestos is not well received in this town of about 7,000.

Last year, it canceled a long running fundraising walk for cancer research because of the Canadian Cancer Society’s opposition to the Jeffrey mine plan.

The Jeffrey mine’s hold on Quebec and Canadian politics started with an unusually violent strike against Johns Manville in 1949. The walkout was embraced by many prominent intellectuals and signifi ed the beginning of broad political, economic and social changes in the province. Many historians argue the fallout from the strike spurred the formation of modern Quebec.

VArefi nancing requires land

BY PETER G. M ILLER CTW FEATURES

QUESTION: We thought we got a good rate when we bought our manufactured home three years ago with a VA mortgage, but now 7 percent is huge considering the other loans that are out there. We do not own the land beneath it. Due to that fact, we are being told that there’s nothing that can be done to refi nance a VA loan.

What can we do?

ANSWER: If your home was “real estate” then it would be possible to refinance to a lower rate with a VA guarantee. However, since the land is not owned the house must be refi nanced with a personal property loan rather than a mortgage. The catch is that the rate for a personal property loan will be higher than the rate for a mortgage secured by land.

QUESTION: I was approved for a modifi cation with my lender, then my loan was transferred to a second lender. The second lender denied the loan modification but has been taking

a second look for the past nine months.

The second lender says I have excessive back taxes and other costs. Can they do this?

ANSWER: If you’re applying for a modification under the government’s Making Home Affordable program then certain deadlines apply. Apparently you’re not facing foreclosure or lacking equity - you just want a better rate and term.

In today’s world loan applications are done with electronic speed. I just refinanced a property and the entire process took about three weeks. I suspect if I was in a hurry that closing might have been sooner.

Nine months is a ridiculously long period to refi nance a personal residence. Rather than continue to wait eternally for new fi nancing, ask the lender for the specifi c reason for the delay. If no sensible answer emerges, then shop around and see if something better is available from other lenders. © CTW Features

In a snowy January, job numbers fail to take off

BY MOTOKO RICH NEW YORK TIMES

The United States labor market is still having trouble achieving liftoff.

Payrolls expanded by 36,000 jobs in January, a sharp decline from recent months and well below consensus forecasts.

But the picture painted by the Department of Labor’s monthly snapshot of the job market was confounded by a drop in the unemployment rate to 9 percent, the lowest it has been since April 2009. That was mainly because that rate is calculated using a different survey than the payroll data.

January’s snowstorms probably had some effect on the anemic numbers, given that sectors like construction and transportation and warehousing shed jobs.

The private sector added 50,000 jobs, so government layoffs, particularly at the state and local level, also restrained growth. Analysts had forecast an increase of about 145,000.

The mixed employment report came in a week when a mosaic of other indicators suggested a more upbeat outlook for the recovery. A closely watched survey of purchasing managers rose to its highest level since May 2004, and chain store sales increased at a faster pace than expected in January. On average, jobless claims have also been trending downward.

As a result, some economists said they would largely disregard January’s data because of the snowstorms.

Others, however, cautioned that underlying job growth was still not robust.

“You can blame weather for the number being as low as it is,” said Steve Blitz, a senior economist for ITG Investment Research. “But even if you abstracted out the weather, you’re still not getting the dynamic job growth that is going to cut the unemployment rate significantly.”

A broader measure of unemployment, which includes those whose hours have been cut, those who are working part-time because they could not find fulltime jobs, and those so discouraged that they have given up on the search, was 16.1 percent, down from 16.7 percent in December. That left 13.9 million people still out of work.

For the unemployed, the slow addition of jobs is growing increasingly frustrating. Andrew Stettner, deputy director of the National Employment Law Project, said that given growth in corporate profits, “this is when we need to see jobs growing hand over fist.”

A few sectors are picking up. Health care and retail added jobs, and manufacturing, a highlight of the recovery so far, added 49,000 jobs last month.

Economists noted that average weekly earnings increased to $959.45 for manufacturing workers, and an index of average weekly hours was also up. “Those firms are working the people they have harder,” Heather Boushey, senior economist at the liberal Center for American Progress, said . “And they will have to bring in new employees.”

Indeed, Cliff Waldman, economist at the Manufacturers Alliance/MAPI, noted that companies could be adding more jobs but were actually having some trouble filling slots that required workers with more skills.

“The modern manufacturing sector requires a different kind of worker than the manufacturing sector of 20 years ago,” Mr. Waldman said. “They have to be more literate, better at math, and able to work in teams.”

That does not bode well for those who have fewer skills and less education. The disproportionate burden that the grim labor market has imposed on the less skilled remained pronounced in January’s numbers.

The unemployment rate among those with less than a high school diploma was 14.2 percent, while the rate among those with a bachelor’s degree or higher was 4.2 percent.
