A new California gold rush?

–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– DIGEST––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

SUTTER CREEK, Calif.

— Standing in a cramped, slanted and slippery crevice some 500 feet below the earth’s surface, David Cochrane turned his eyes to a ribbon of marbled quartz — mainly gray, amber and white — and found the one hue he was actually looking for.

“Right there, see? It’s small but it’s very colorful,” Mr. Cochrane said.

It was gold and if people like Mr. Cochrane have their way, gold will soon be big business again in California’s Mother Lode, in the same area of the Sierras — and occasionally the same mines — where the old-time prospectors once used pick axes, ore carts and burros to chase their riches.

“People say the Mother Lode’s mined out,” said Mr. Cochrane, a vice president with Sutter Gold Mining Inc., based in Colorado. “But that’s not the case.”

Indeed, Sutter Gold is just one of several companies seeking to reignite a stagnant industry in California, a state whose early history and growth were intimately intertwined with gold’s discovery, excavation and exploitation.

Mining largely dried up after World War II as price controls made the business model unappealing. But with controls gone, and gold now selling at more than $1,300 an ounce, the math makes sense again.

3 shot dead, 3 wounded in Virginia

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– WORLD/NATION–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

CAIRO (NY Times) — Egypt erupted in a joyous celebration of the power of a long repressed people on Friday as President Hosni Mubarak resigned his post and ceded control to the military, ending his nearly 30 years of autocratic rule.

Shouts of “God is Great” competed with fireworks and car horns around Cairo after Mr. Mubarak’s vice president and longtime intelligence chief,

Omar Suleiman, announced during evening prayers that Mr. Mubarak had passed all authority to a council of military leaders, bowing to a historic popular uprising that has transformed politics in Egypt and around the Arab world.

The departure of the 82-yearold Mr. Mubarak, at least initially to his coastal resort home in Sharm el-Sheik, was a pivotal turn in a nearly three-

week revolt that has upended one of the Arab’s world’s most enduring dictatorships. The popular protests — peaceful and resilient despite numerous efforts by Mr. Mubarak’s legendary security apparatus to suppress them — ultimately deposed an ally of the United States who has been instrumental in helping to carry out American policy in the region for decades.

Hospitals shift smoking bans to smoker ban (NY Times) — Smokers now face another risk from their habit: it could cost them a shot at a job.

More hospitals and medical businesses in many states are adopting strict policies that make smoking a reason to turn away job applicants, saying they want to increase worker productivity, reduce health care costs and encourage healthier living.

The policies reflect a frustration that softer efforts — like banning smoking on company grounds, offering cessation programs and increasing health care premiums for smokers — have not

been powerful-enough incentives to quit.

The new rules essentially treat cigarettes like an illegal narcotic. Applications now explicitly warn of “tobacco-free hiring,” job seekers must submit to urine tests for nicotine and new employees caught smoking face termination.

This shift — from smoke-free to smoker-free workplaces — has prompted sharp debate, even among anti-tobacco groups, over whether the policies establish a troubling precedent of employers intruding into private lives to ban a habit that is legal.

MANASSAS, Va. (NY Times) — A 37-year-old illegal immigrant was under arrest Friday after three people were found shot to death and three others were wounded at two houses just blocks apart in the northern Virginia city of Manassas, the police said.

The victims in the shooting on Thursday night included several members of the same family, but said Chief Douglas W. Keen of the Manassas Police Department said it was not clear how, or if, the victims knew the suspect, Jose Oswaldo Reyes Alfaro, 37.

Mr. Alfaro, 37, from El Salvador, had been ordered deported by a federal judge in 2002, but apparently never left the country, the authorities said.

Officers responding Thursday evening to a report of shots fired found the body of Brenda Ashcraft, 56, in the front yard of her house on Hood Road, Chief Keen said.

Inside, the police found three other family members who had been shot.

Next for Cranmore: A giant swing

BY ERIK EISELE THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — Cranmore is looking to add one more summer attraction to its list of new draws.

The latest? A giant swing.

The company went before the Conway Planning Board Thursday night to begin the process of getting permission to erect a 40-foot-tall, fourperson swing at the resort.

“It’s another component in our yearround offerings,” said Ben Wilcox, Cranmore’s president. “The goal is to put it in this spring.”

Wilcox expects the approval process will be similar to what Cranmore went through for its aerial adventure park and other new features.

The planning board allows projects that are “insignificant relative to the existing development” to go ahead without a site plan review.

“We’ve been granted this before on several attractions we’ve put in,” Wilcox said. “I’m not anticipating it being any more difficult than any of our other stuff.”

The resort still may have to get a building permit to put the concrete footings in the ground that will form the foundation for the swing arms like it had to for the new ski lift, Wilcox said, but otherwise the process should be simple.

The swing will be below the town height limit, and the only noise will be screams from riders.

Cranmore is 80 percent finished building its aerial adventure park, a zip-line ride, which will complement its mountain coaster and summer tubing park. The aerial park and the swing are scheduled to open on Memorial Day. Cranmore’s sister ski area, Jiminy Peak Mountain Resort in Hancock, Mass., built a swing last year. It has four seats, one pair facing one direction and the second pair facing the opposite direction, all connected on a metal frame. Riders sit down, strapped in, and get lifted into the air by cables. The cables suspend the seat assembly just like a playground swing between two 40-foot towers. Another cable then pulls the seat assembly to one side, providing the proverbial “push.” When the side cable releases, the seats swing back and forth. When it comes to rest it lowers back to the ground.

The Cranmore swing will be the same, Wilcox said.

Cranmore was bought last spring

by Jiminy Peak Mountain Resort, which invested in the new attractions.

These are the type of improvements ski areas everywhere are now instituting, Wilcox said. “It’s really in line with our business.”

Tele-Talk

What would you like to see on the Fandangle’s property?

The sale of the former Fandangle’s site, at the “gateway” to the North Conway commercial strip, appears imminent. Fandangle’s, a popular restaurant, burned in 2007, and negotiations on the sale of the 2.5-acre property are nearing completion. The buyer is still a secret, but rumors of an Outback restaurant have been ruled out. “I think if we can work this out, this will be a very high-quality buyer in the hospitality business, and this will be perceived as a home run for the valley,” said Earle Wason, of Wason Associates Hospitality Real Estate Brokerage Group of Portsmouth and Chocorua. Wally Campbell, owner of Fandangle’s, would have an ownership interest in the project. “I feel very positive about this, very positive,” Campbell said.

Off the Wall Valentine’s Day is Monday. We asked readers on The Conway Daily Sun’s Facebook page for their definitions of love.

“It is undefined.” — Ashleigh Nash “God.” — Brian Savary “Love is when two people meet and one feels that there are butterflies and you just know that you like them.” — Allison Clare Norris-Parsons “Never having a regret.” — Melita Dixon “A precious bond between people that can’t be broken or shifted by anything whether it be fights, the flu, misunderstandings, and rough days. Love is a power that is set alight when people are willing to overlook anything about another person and just adore and protect them.” — Amber Reed “Love is unconditional; it knows no boundaries.

When you truly love someone, you can see past their mistakes and flaws.” — Annie-Rae Marques “Still holding hands after 34 years.” — Betty Bachman “Love is the ache I feel in my heart every time I think of her. Love is the tears I shed because I can never hold her again. Love is the memories I hold dear to

my heart. Love is knowing that she would want me to carry on. Love is what I will carry with me all the rest of my life until our souls will be together for all of eternity!” — Scott Merrithew “Love is never having to say you’re sorry...” — Karen Cummings “To will the good of another in an open-hearted, genuine way.” — Nickie Sekera “Love is about commitment, understanding, comparability of real love. If couples do not spend enough time to find that out before marriage, then they along with their kids are frequently in trouble later on in their relationships. What I believe is, some folks gauge their love by an amount of money one makes. Unfortunately it is something their children see every day.

If you’re the type that your love of money and power gets in the way, watch out for your kids saying this very thing when they grow up and have kids themselves. I believe parents and kids alike have a better chance of being a more rounded individuals if they were able to follow by appropriate examples. Based on real love — not some chocolate heart or diamond ring your money can buy.” — David Robinson

NATIONAL PERSPECTIVE

Obama Means Business The other day Barack Obama left the White House, walked across the street and entered the building where Daniel Webster once lived. Today the United States Chamber of Commerce occupies that hallowed ground, and it is safe to say that until recently the chamber and Obama had little common ground.

But Obama no longer is playing defense in Washington and suddenly is mending fences. He had quite a construction job to perform at 1615 H Street Northwest, but if you read the message the president delivered in the nation's most sacred temple of capitalism, you might conclude that he put considerable effort into the task.

The man once known as the most liberal senator on Capitol Hill had a few zingers for his new business buddies, arguing that business regulation isn't really so terrible and maybe even productive, and bidding the guys in suits to put more people in jobs. But mostly he came to build relationships.

Many a truth is said in jest, and here's the year's best example: "Maybe if we had brought over a fruitcake when I first moved in, we would have gotten off to a better start."

Then he added perhaps the most important words of the third year of his presidency thus far: "But I'm going to make up for it."

Those are words of conciliation for the group perhaps least vulnerable to the magic of the Obama stardust, unless of course you include the people who will be alienated for the mere fact of the president's having said that — or appearing there.

Right now, however, the president's problem isn't on his left, even if the room between Obama and the left is larger than it ever has been. The problem, as he apparently sees it, is in the counting houses and among the people Franklin Roosevelt called the "rulers of the exchange of mankind's goods," and he means to fix the problem.

The "rulers" phrase is from FDR's first inaugural address, and in the very next breath the 32nd president excoriated business leaders for having "failed through their own stubbornness and their own incompetence." That is the sort of idiom some people expected from Obama, and for a time he delivered it, heaps of it.

But that was long ago, or at least a few months ago. Today, Obama drops the name Jeffrey Immelt, the head of the General Electric Co., into his speeches more often than President Ronald Reagan referred to George Gipp, and to similar effect.

Columnists were invented to make connections where none existed before, and so let me introduce into this morning's discussion last week's demise of the Democratic Leadership Council, which was created in the wake of former Vice President Walter F. Mondale's defeat at the hands of Reagan, whose 100th birthday we observe this month.

At the time of the DLC's birth, in 1985, the party had lost four of the previous five presidential elections (and would go on to lose five of six before it would finally prevail). As a result, a group of moderate Democrats, arguing that the party had become captive to interest-group

David Shribman

liberalism, sought to reposition the party.

"We thought the Democratic agenda had to change for the Democratic Party to be successful," said Will Marshall, who founded the group with his colleague from the staff of former Rep. Gillis Long of Louisiana, Alvin From.

The DLC was controversial from the start.

Former Gov. Mario M. Cuomo of New York said it wanted the party to "apologize for sins we never committed." The Rev. Jesse L. Jackson said the group's initials stood for "Democrats for the Leisure Class" and characterized it as the "Southern White Boys Club."

There are lots of reasons for the death of the DLC now, some of them internal, but one of them is that the group won its battle and outlived its usefulness. The Southern White Boys Club elected a Southern white boy president in 1992 -- Gov. Bill Clinton of Arkansas was the group's president and he put its pulpit, and its ideas, to good use — and then another S.W.B., Vice President Albert Gore Jr. of Tennessee, won the popular vote but not the presidency in 2000.

Now the Democratic president is neither Southern nor white. But last week he gave a conciliatory speech at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce — a very DLC thing to do.

Indeed, about a minute after he told the chamber he was going to make up for not dropping off that fruitcake, Obama delivered the sort of boilerplate that might have been prepared for Thomas J. Donohue, who heads the chamber and speaks for American business: "America's success didn't happen overnight, and it didn't happen by accident. It happened because (of) the freedom that has allowed good ideas to flourish, that has allowed capitalism to thrive; it happened because of the conviction that in this country hard work should be rewarded and that opportunity should be there for anybody who's willing to reach for it."

It did not go unnoticed that the president uttered the word "capitalism."

There is, to be sure, a new struggle inside the Democratic Party, with some of the people who supported Obama wondering what happened to the candidate they knew and loved. But Obama's focus now is on winning another term and preserving what he won in the health care debate last year.

He's doing something right — his critics on the left would amend that to say that he is doing something effectively — because the latest Zogby International poll shows his approval rating at 46 percent. It was at 39 percent in November.

Suddenly this is a different president and a different presidency.

The Chamber of Commerce was across Lafayette Park from the White House on the day Obama was inaugurated. But it took a devastating defeat in midterm elections for him to make the walk. He did so last week, and then he talked the talk. The president's stroll in the park suggests he plans to surprise us again.

Perhaps good can come of Ward Bird affair To the editor: The Ward Bird affair has reached a resolution, of sorts.

Perhaps good can yet come of it.

Republican Representative Betsey Patten, of Moultonborough, has introduced House Bill 378-FN. Her bill would amend the law to make it clear that a property owner, like Mr. Bird, has the right to respond to a trespasser who refuses to leave by displaying a firearm or other weapon as a warning. The property owner so acting would not be committing criminal threatening, the offense of which Mr. Bird was convicted.

I have written my Democratic counterpart to ask that the Carroll County Democrats join with the Carroll County Republicans in supporting this legislation. There’s no reason this sensible adjustment of a too-rigid law shouldn’t enjoy bipartisan support. No homeowner should have to choose between showing a trespasser that the homeowner possesses the means of self-defense, and prosecution for an offense bearing a severe, mandatory minimum sentence.

Meantime, we urge Governor Lynch to re-consider his refusal to grant Mr. Bird a full pardon, which his Executive Council, after hearing the same evidence that was presented to the governor, unanimously recommended.

Sometimes the law, through no fault of anyone, produces an obviously unjust result.

In Mr. Bird’s case, a series of decisions by multiple parties,

each perhaps justifiable on its own, combined to produce an anomalous and inequitable result.

In retrospect, it appears obvious that Mr. Bird should not have been charged with a serious felony, which bore a grossly inappropriate mandatory minimum sentence.

I assume the then county prosecutor felt she had good reason to bring that charge, but the power of the state to take a person’s freedom carries with it a duty of utmost restraint. Unfortunately, the state has not yet done all it might to discharge that duty, however retroactively.

By commuting Mr. Bird’s sentence after he’d served two months in jail, the governor signaled his recognition that there’d been a serious miscarriage of justice. His simultaneous refusal to pardon Mr. Bird, thus leaving the stigma and legal disabilities of a felony conviction on his record — a conviction the governor’s wellknown penchant for equivocation — in the worst possible setting.

Again, I have asked my Democratic counterpart, who presumably has more sway with the Governor than we Republicans do, to join me in asking him to do his job. Mr. Lynch should exercise the power traditionally vested in the executive, and pardon that which the law should never have condemned.

Maynard Thomson Chairman, Carroll County Republican Committee Freedom

BY TOM EASTMAN THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

“When You Dance I Can Really Love” When you dance, Do your senses tingle?

Then take a chance?

In a trance, While the lonely mingle With circumstance?

I've got something to tell you, you make it show.

Let me come over, I know you know When you dance I can really love.

— Neil Young CONWAY — The couple that dances together stays together?

That's the way it's been for Mount Washington Valley's favorite dancing couple, Leslie Kane and David Brooks of Intervale.

She is the designer/proprietor of Leslie David Clothing, a company that makes women's apparel that is both versatile and distinctive, using contemporary fibers. David has worked

side-by-side with Leslie, helping to support her business by helping her at shows and marketing.

“I am continuously discovering new design ideas and innovations for my clothing and inevitably learn something during the design process, and sometimes the results surprise even me. It's part of the fun! Each piece is one of a kind or part of a limited edition, all made by me from start to finish,” says Leslie.

David was the founding executive director of the Tin Mountain Conservation Center and later served as director of the Children's Health Center, now known as the White Mountain Community Health Center.

He left that post a decade ago. The couple next traveled the globe for six months, a journey that took them to Italy, France, Spain and Africa. That trip took place right after 9-11, but they went any way, underscoring their love of travel and their belief in the good of people.

They also surmised at the time that there would always be an excuse for

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, it’s time for a romantic look at that “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” through the eyes of four local couples, culminating in today’s edition of our annual “Love in the Sun,” in which readers express their devotion to their loved ones.

Tuesday’s couple was Carol and Ed Westervelt of North Conway, who are celebrating 54 years of marriage. Couple No. 2 was Pfc. Kelby Moore and Bill Wood of Bartlett, who were married in October prior to her pending deployment to Afghanistan. Profiled Feb. 10 were married innkeepers Les Schoof and Ed Butler of the Notchland Inn and their 34 years of being committed to one another. Granddaughter Melissa Church wrote about her grandparents, Robert and the late Jeanette Lundrigan, in Friday’s paper. Today’s couple is Leslie Kane and David Brooks of Intervale.

not going — so off they went, and had an unbelievable expedition that included stays at Cinque Terra, a romantic Italian village along the edge of the Mediterranean, and later, even camel rides that took them out to the Sahara Desert, where they enthuse they camped out under the “unbelievable Moroccan stars.”

Upon their return, David worked for MicroCredit, a community loan fund based out of Concord.

David has continued to be active in the community over the years since their trip, having served on the town's

conservation commission. An avid gardener, he has helped with Community Supported Agriculture. He is also president of the non-profit Pequawket Foundation which funds a myriad of community betterment projects in the greater Mount Washington Valley.

For the past several winters, you may find him as a staffer for the Mount Washington Valley Ski Touring and Snowshoe Center, whose trails skirt his and Leslie's property on Dinsmore Road.

Their marriage is a second for both. see next page

They met in 1981 at a contra dance in Jackson.

“She walked through the door and that was that,” says David.

They were married in 1986.

David came into her two children's lives when they were very young, and played a key role in their development as a step-dad.

“It was perfect for me. I not only married a wonderful woman but great kids, too,” says David, who notes that Leslie's son Josh Wilfong is 34, and daughter Kim Wilfong is 32.

Having grown up in Mount Washington Valley, where they were exposed to the area's recreational amenities, Leslie encouraged her children upon their graduation from college to travel and “live in great places if they could.”

That they have, as Josh resides in Colorado now, and Kim — who is instructor for those learning English as a second language — has lived in Prague for the past five years and two years in Chile before that.

Having been on the shoals of love before finding one another, they bring an acute awareness of what it takes to nurture a relationship and keep it vibrant.

“We work to keep our communication open,” notes David. “Our relationship is good, but any relationship takes work — hard work — and we both understand that.”

They are so pro-active when it comes to their relationship, they not only go to their counselor when things are rocky — they make a point to go even when things are going smoothly.

Now that says a lot!

Whether out on the ski touring trails or hiking, the couple celebrates their love as well as their zest for life.

They most love to mix it up on the dance floor. In the old days of when Horsefeathers used to present a Sunday afternoon blues series, Leslie and David were gyrating regulars, thrilling onlookers with their togetherness and dancing symmetry.

Now, when not getting their blues fix from listening to WMWV's “Blues Summit” with deejay host Roy Prescott every Wednesday night, they go to other locales in the valley or to nearby Portland to enjoy live music.

It's all about never forgetting the romance — or that need to get out ... and dance!

Oprah films Madison family

BY DAYMOND STEER THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — The Oprah Winfrey Show filmed a Madison family Friday to document the family’s unique parenting style. The family and Oprah crew also paid a visit to

the Mount Washington Valley Children’s Museum — giving an unexpected thrill to its executive director.

The crew was doing a show about the Martin family, of Madison.

“It was like Christmas morning when you’re unwrapping presents, you just want that moment to last,” said Morin. “It was a gift.”

dren ages 3 to 11, is the author of a book called “Radical Unschooling: A Revolution Has Begun.” The book has been published internationally.

She has appeared on other national programs such as Dr. Phil, Fox and Friends, and Nightline.

The Martins home-school their children and believe children learn when they are “internally motivated.”

Children can choose what they wish to learn. Dayna and and her husband Joey don’t use a curriculum.

Part of the show was filmed at the MWV Children’s Museum because the Martins identified it as a place they take their children to play, said the museum’s executive director Shelly Morin. On Friday afternoon, the crew filmed at the museum for about 15. minutes. The whole Marin family participated in the shooting.

The Oprah Winfrey Show crew consisted of about three or four people.

Winfrey herself did not appear. The museum stayed open during the filming. The crew arrived two hours a head of schedule, but Morin didn’t mind at all.

“It was like Christmas morning when you’re unwrapping presents, you just want that moment to last,” said Morin. “It was a gift.”

Morin, who is an Oprah fan, said when she got a phone call from a producer on Thursday, she had a time believing it was a real. The producer replied that was a normal reaction.

Even though the museum is just a backdrop, being included is a big deal because of Winfrey’s enormous influence, said Morin. She added the museum’s whole marketing budget

is only $100 per year.

“When Oprah says she reads a book, that book can’t be kept on the shelf. When she says she uses a specific hand cream, the company that makes the hand cream has their web site crash,” said Morin.

Viewers might see the Martin children playing and looking at various exhibits throughout the museum.

Those include the rocking horse, the calendar tree, the gravity well, the tree house, and a display about gears. At the time, the museum was having a Valentine’s Day party.

The museum doesn’t take a stance on “radical unschooling.” The museum’s mission is to advocate for the importance of play in childrens’ lives.

But Morin describes Dayna Martin as “empowering” and “dynamic” because she is passionate about encouraging parents about making choices they believe are right for their children.

“She’s not afraid to push the norm,” said Morin.

According to WMWV.com, the Martin family will also fly to Chicago next week to be filmed. Dayna Martin told WMWV that she doesn’t know when the program will air.

Martin explains her views on parenting on videos posted on youtube and on her web site www.daynamartin.com.

My birthday is two days after Valentine's Day. I'll be 28 this year.

Growing up, February was my favorite month because I doubled up on the cards with money enclosed. The checks ran dry long ago. In elementary school you were required to give Valentine's Day cards to everyone, so that was nice as well. As an adult, the obligatory cards are few and far between. This time of year it becomes all the more apparent that I'm single, which, as I get

older, feels more pathetic.

I am not single by choice. I've never been much for the bar scene. I can be painfully shy in social situations. If someone initiates the conversation first, I'm fine and an exchange of dialogue will flow naturally. Approaching others I don't know very often terrifies me as I become gripped by a fear of rejection. This paralyzing trepidation, as is usually the case with these sorts of things, can be tied back to injustices I incurred in adolescence.

Most of my life has been spent in the dreaded friend-zone. I've lost

After years of struggling to be more than just a friend, The Conway Daily Sun’s Alec Kerr ventured into the world of online dating. (PHOTO COURTESY OF CLIPART.COM) from preceding page

certain truth to it. I've been told by women that the fireworks, the magic, the spark isn't there with me. I am too amicable, easy-going and, well, friendly. Whatever the reason that I am friends only material, I call their bluff. I become a friend. It has paid off as I've made some important friendships this way. In truth, I don't mind the friend-zone, but, naturally, desire more.

So, I have turned to the world of online dating and, much to my surprise, I've been quite successful at securing dates. My site of choice for the last year has been the free website okcupid.com, which is every bit as good as the pay-site match.com. At both sites though I encountered the same phenomenon. I would send lots of messages out and receive very few responses. On many occasions I'd spend 30 minutes to an hour constructing a message and get nothing back. In talking to the women who did respond I discovered that the problem is that most of the women on these sites have in-boxes stuffed with crude, none-to-subtle propositions for sex. The good, unfortunately, gets tossed out with the bad.

I've been able to secure dates because okcupid has an instant messaging service. I search for profiles of women who are online and when I find a profile I like I send a clever one-liner or directly reference something from their profile. I still get ignored, but more often than not I get a response. Something about the immediacy makes it harder to dismiss. It helps that the first thing I say isn't about the size of a certain piece of my anatomy. Many of these exchanges peter out, but some eventually leave okcupid for other social media before moving onto phone conversations and dates.

There have been positive experiences and disastrous ones. There have been sweet, intelligent, witty women and raving loons. I had a conversation with a girl who claims she sold her soul to the devil in exchange for the power to beguile all men. Apparently, I am immune to her bewitching charms. There also seems to be a high number of women on okcupid with serious emotional issues. This leads me to wonder if everyone on dating sites are damaged goods and therefore what does that say about me?

I am discovering more friends on okcupid than love interests and after years of frustration of being just the friend I am simply embracing it. In the past, I was trying too hard. There was a desperation in my pursuit for love. I've come to a place where I'm glad to make new connections and create a network of new, worthy friends who can enrich my life. Should one of these friendships turn to love that will be welcomed, but I'm no longer going to sweat it. I've come to dating later than most and I'm experiencing it at my own, perfectly healthy pace. The more I think about it that doesn't sound pathetic at all.

Chocolate tours, chairlift speed dating and Valentines

JACKSON — If you’re a romantic (and aren’t all we skiers and riders?), if you find yourself hanging out in the single line of life, you can’t go wrong by heading to Black Mountain Feb. 12 for the area’s annual “Cupids on the Slopes” Valentine’s Weekend event, also known as “Chairlift Speed Dating.”

Not only have romantic skiers and riders taken notice of the event, so has the media world, notes marketing director Jen McAleer.

“We’ve had stories in the Concord Monitor, the Union Leader, the Boston Phoenix — and the Sun,” said McAleer Friday afternoon, the day before the big event. “So, we’re excited. We hope we get a good turnout. It ought to be a lot of fun.”

Registration is free with purchase of your lift ticket and begins at 12:30 p.m. in the Lostbo Pub. Speed dating starts at the double chair at 2 p.m., with one line of women, and one line of men that pair up for a ride up the mountain.

At the top, decide whether to ski off together or go back down and try a ride up with someone else. It’s a beautiful setting to meet your match and enjoy a fun day here at Black Mountain. An après ski party follows at the Lostbo pub with many special “love potions” where couples can reconnect with any chairlift date.

Call Black at 383-4490 for further details.

CHOCOLATE SKI TOUR: In other romantic offerings for the day, the Bretton Woods Ski Touring Center (278-3322) and the Appalachian Mountain Club’s Highland Center are hosting a chocolate tour Saturday.

This self-guided and delicious tour may be enjoyed by using cross country skis or snowshoes. You may begin your tour at either the Bretton Woods Nordic Center or at the Highland center. After you buy your $10 per couple card and $17 trail pass, additional

Traveling the snowmobile trail on Mount Shaw on foot Hiking –––––

The warm spell during the last snow storm left a slight crust near the surface, adding Ed Parsons to the challenge of foot travel in deep snow. A friend said that getting to the bird feeder was like climbing Mount Everest. It was a given that I use snowshoes to get to the compost pile.

Last Monday, only a couple days after the storm, I wanted to get out by myself in the mountains.

Groups are better suited for breaking trail in deep, crusty snow. Everyone can take a turn in the lead.

I decided to hike up the packed down snowmobile trail on Mount Shaw (2,990 feet) in the Ossipee Range.

Although hiking can, by its nature, be more in touch with the natural environment than some other outdoor sports, it is also true that we all bask in an oil fueled world. With my car to get to the trailhead, and my modern equipment, I saw no contradiction in hiking up a snowmobile trail well packed down by a snowmobile club groomer.

In the future, after the consequences of Peak Oil kick in, we will likely all have to gradually find a purer path. I will be breaking trail in a group. And there will probably be no snowmobile trails packed down by a groomer.

But on Monday morning, I drove into the Ossipee Range and pulled over next to the snowmobile trail up Mount Shaw. I parked off the dirt road in a corner of the snowmobile trail, then started up the wide trail. But in a few hundred feet, I stopped at a fork.

There were truck tire tracks heading in on the left fork, and I heard the sound of a logging operation in the near distance, along the base of Mount Shaw. Earlier on the drive in, a full logging truck had passed me on its way out. I realized that the big trucks probably made a wide turn where I had parked, on their way to the logging operation. So I walked back out and parked further along the dirt road, as far to the side as I could. On my return to the bottom much later, sure enough, there were wide

turning tire tracks where I had first parked.

Actually, it is tight parking there, so I am giving no directions there, and won’t respond to inquiries. That’s ok, because not many winter hikers want to hike up the busy snowmobile trail called NH Primary No. 15, which connects Ossipee with the Lakes Region.

But as a hiker, Monday morning was the time to

be there. Only three sleds passed me on the approximately 2.5 mile long trail up, and a half dozen sleds plus a snow tractor groomer on the way back down.

All were respectful and waved.

Before starting back up the trail a second time Monday morning, I slipped on my MICROspikes, which would help grip the snow considerably. I walked past the fork and started up the trail. The sound of the logging operation was slow to recede in the open winter forest. I had checked out their legal paperwork, tied to a tree. The operation was being done by Chocorua Forestlands, a forest products company that owns many acres in the Ossipee Range. They were the ones who were so upset with Robert Garrison, aka, the Trail Bandit, for making an unofficial map of the Ossipee Range.

Their property signs in the range have a passage that forbids him from coming onto their land in the future. Ironically, he is presently a valued trail volunteer on the Castle in the Clouds property, immediately to the west in the Ossipee Range, and his map is available at the Castle in the Clouds gift shop during their summer season.

This circular volcanic range of mountains is a microcosm of the wider world.

I climbed up into the sun on the quiet Monday morning trail. I had hiked up that way in all four seasons. But there is nothing like winter. All deciduous tree branches had a top layer of ice on them from the last storm. If you placed a thick grove of them between you and the sun, a shining, ethereal circle of ice would appear.

I heard my first snowmobiles of the day, sounding like bees, coming up behind me. They passed and were gone. I reached a shoulder and turned south, on a gradual uphill climb up to the last few switchbacks before the summit. I passed the right hand turnoff for Primary No. 15, which headed down towards Castle in the Clouds, and eventually Wolfboro. I continued straight uphill on the old Castle in the Clouds carriage road towards the summit. see next page

standing next to his machine.

He probably hadn’t seen my gray beard. We stood together, and looked to the east, over the valley.

He pointed out where his home was located, south of Silver Lake.

He had started out sledding by his back door that morning, and was doing a loop over the mountain and down to Wolfboro, then returning back through Granite.

You could tell he was pleased to be talking to a hiker, who suppos-

edly represented different values.

The summit of a mountain was a place to celebrate, after all. “Take care,” he said, and meant it, before firing up his machine and moving out.

I pulled out an apple, and enjoyed the crisp taste combined with the hazy mountain day. After taking a few pictures, I headed down, and my MICROspikes served me well on the long truck down the snowy trail.

I thought I would get to the top as a hiker, surrounded by the silence of the mountain top. But I was one switchback below the top, when I heard the buzz of a sled coming up behind me. I let out a mild curse, then turned and responded to his friendly wave as he passed.

I climbed up to the old carriage road turnaround on top. “Hello, young man,” the sledder said,

givores,” if you would like to impress your non-ornithological friends with new knowledge and expanding vocabulary.

We also await reports of whitewinged crossbills that have come down here for the winter. These northern seed-eating visitors are always a treat to encounter. But, they do have an odd habit of gathering salt on country roads, dangerously staying put there as we nearly drive through the flock. White-winged crossbills are extremely fond of this wintry deposit by our plow trucks, and they also need grit for aiding digestion found there.

Just be a bit careful as you approach them at some speed, because they do not seem to know how to get out of the way of automobiles with this naive behavior of theirs.

Crossbills appear tame, seeming almost oblivious to our presence, and it can be enjoyable watching them speedily work over pine cones with their seemingly deformed bills, which actually are a marvel of nature.

Only at close range can their macabre-appearing mandibles be readily observed.

Their bills are so twisted looking, that it seems the birds might have registered some sort of contamination in the egg. It does take some getting used to in order to admire this clever apparatus of a bill, which crosses over for the task of efficiently opening up the scales of cones from spruce, fir, and pine species. The unique mandibles also develop individually for each bird, so the direction of the twisted shape is unpredictable; they overlap both ways. The bills can cross in either direction, and the direction of the cross dictates the direction that bird will spiral up a cone, starting at its bottom.

Though the overlapping tips of crossbills’ black mandibles look like gardening shears, the peculiar powerful bill is actually used more as a prying probe than a cutting device. It

levers out seeds to the flexible tongue, which lifts out these seeds for the bird’s primary food. The beaks remind me of a rib-spreader in an operating room. Crossbills can open pine cones with considerable speed; these beaks are definitely a supreme tool for this specialized purpose.

Another thing to note is that whitewinged crossbills can hang upside down like little parrots as they accomplish this extractive work, which is child’s play to them. Individual birds can eat up to 3,000 coniferous seeds a day! An additional interesting adaptation is their ability to store gathered seeds for further use in a structure that is analogous to the crop of gallinaceous birds. This is a pouch (the esophageal diverticulum) inside their throat, about midway down their neck, to keep seeds in until they are eaten some time later. Perhaps in a cozy coniferous grove, out of the wind, and when the birds are at rest in the extreme sub-Arctic conditions they live in. This is a way to cope with the energy demands imposed by this numbing taiga climate, or getting through the night when the weather is very bad.

White-winged crossbill males are dull rosy-red, while females are mottled with yellowish-olive to grayish tints; both have two conspicuous, broad white wing-bars—on black wings, leading to a forked black tail.

These double wing-bars are often quite evident in flight, and help to distinguish this species within mixed flocks of crossbills. This attractive pinkish-colored, winter finch is about the size of a six-inch house sparrow.

Maine, has always made him a favorite of mine. Maybe someday somebody will walk in the shop and have one of his rods at a price I can’t refuse.

At the show I finally had the opportunity to meet Sante Giuliani or as he is better know as “Fishing Banjo”. Banjo is perhaps one of the greatest authorities on bamboo fly rods in the U.S. Banjo had 17 rods at the show. I took the opportunity to show him my Edwards. He confirmed what little I had been able to find out about the rod. The rod was indeed built

by E. W. Edwards around 1928 or 1929 just before his death in 1930 and right after he discontinued making rods for Winchester. This rod doesn’t have a great deal of value, however, the rod does have some provenance as it once belonged to Joe Dodge, of course to me it is priceless.

For the record I do fish it once in a great while and I have caught fish on it.

The other fellow I enjoyed meeting and talking to was Tom Whittle. Tom is a rod maker of some note and is also a painter and an author. Tom’s book was co-written with Bill Harns titled “Split and Glued by Vincent Marinaro”. Vince Marinaro is perhaps better know as the fellow who wrote “In the Ring of the Rise” and “A Modern

Dry-Fly Code”. The “Modern Dry-Fly Code” is a classic and even though it was written in 1950 it is still a valuable reference for today’s angler.

I didn’t have a lot of cash with me so just before I left the house I asked Janet for a check so I could buy at SuperBoo VIII T-shirt. There is no admission to the SuperBoo, however, the money from the sale of T-shirts go to the Lawrence High Fly Fishing Club. I happened to set next to Tom and noticed that he was selling copies of his book. I thumbed through it and knew I had to have one. I asked for one of his cards so I could send him a check for a copy when I got home. He said: “Why not take one home now and send me the check latter.” I was amazed that this gentleman would be so trusting of a guy he had just met less than an hour ago. I mailed the check yesterday and I have already read the first three chapters.

Tom lives in Edgecomb, Maine where he builds split cane rods and paints wonderful pictures of the Maine coast.

If I have peaked your interest in going to the next SuperBoo it will be held next year the Saturday before the Super Bowl.

See you on the river.

The answer to why the Eagles soar Congratulations to our local hgh school alpine ski racer. This week both the boys and the girls teams won their respective division state ski championships. How do they do it? What’s their secret? How can you soar like an Eagle?

The answers to these questions comes down to this: be a skier, then an athlete, then a ski racer. This formula creates tremendous race course talent, and more fun on skis.

Be a skier. These kids love to ski, and many of them have been skiing together since they were 5 years old.

They ski in the woods, the bumps, the woods, the terrain park,in their own back yards. They can ski in almost any conditions and they love to do it.

When these kids were younger, they’d finish race team practice on weekend days and immediately switch to their twin tip skis and go skiing.

To improve your racing, improve your skiing. If there are trails or conditions that you’re not comfortable skiing, take a lesson and get coached on becoming proficient where you’re currently not

confident. Ski days will become more fun, and your race times will improve.

Be an athlete. Ski racing is a physically demanding sport. The stronger, more flexible, and better balanced you are, the faster you’ll go and the more races you’ll finish. These State Champs typically are involved in soccer, field hockey, mt biking, hiking and other sports that build strength, cardio vascular capacity, and high performance balance skills.

To improve your racing, improve your fitness. It doesn’t take a lot of improvement to make skiing more fun and race times more competitive. Core strength, a general fitness upgrade, and improved flexibility will all make a difference.

We post high schoolers (or post-postpost high schoolers) can’t expect to ski like these super star kids, but we can follow their example and have more fun when we get out on the slopes.

What a great excuse to keep active, fit, and trying new ski things. You’ll be better in and out of the course.

Participating organizations are being asked to solicit nominations from the public, their membership and board members and select a recipient from those nominations received. When the organization has selected a recipient, that person’s nomination form and reasons for selection should be forwarded to Mount Washington Valley Promotions. A separate board will

review all nominations and select one “Volunteer of the Year” for the Mount Washington Valley.

Plans are being finalized and sponsors are being sought. The goal is to make this an affordable evening for all who are interested in participating. The nomination fee for each individual or team of individuals is $15 to defray the costs of awards and refreshments.

Attendees may purchase advance tickets for $5 per person or $7 per person at the door.

Eligibility Criteria All nominations must meet the following criteria: • An individual or team of individuals who has served as a volunteer to a valley non-profit during the 2010 calendar year.

DILBERT

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You are open-minded. The more people you query the smarter you become. Someone will tell you what’s important, and you will weigh this person’s opinion against your own.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

There is very little that can surprise you today. Even when you are technically out of your element, you are still within reach of the sophistication and confidence of your own mind.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Keep your eyes open because it’s a lucky day for finding conversation-worthy objects. You’ll be drawn in by oddities, and you could even find a curio to add to your collection.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You are graciousness personified, as you take care of your friends with a compassionate and selfless attitude. You are moving up on everyone’s “favorite person” list.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It’s easy for you to be all sweetness and smiles, because you are inwardly trouble-free. However, when it’s time to protect the happiness of your loved ones, you will get tough fast.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 12).

You are an exuberant participant in life.

You’ll be celebrated and adored all year, especially in the first five weeks of the year. There’s a career breakthrough in June. You’ll make changes to accommodate a special relationship, and they’re all worthwhile. Family additions happen in September. Capricorn and Sagittarius people bring zest to your world. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 23, 1, 50 and 13.

Get Fuzzy

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You may not like it when someone disagrees with you, but in today’s case, you will be much better off because of it. You’ll strengthen your position and build a better argument for next time.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Sometimes it feels as though your personal stock is not quite as high as you’d like it to be. However, you can always raise your perceived value by adjusting your own thinking about what you have to offer.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Whatever your beliefs are, you feel them with more passion today. So much so that someone who didn’t share your convictions may suddenly be convinced or converted.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll be pulled in at least three different directions, mostly due to the fact that you have three people who adore you and want your attention. There’s a way to satisfy all of them.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll be drawn in by the mysteries of your ancestors. The holes in your parents’ history likely will hold intrigue. You can find the answers if you ask the right questions.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll find a worthy discussion partner -someone who can lead you into deep and compelling conversation. There are financial opportunities present today, as well, especially in the afternoon.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You may realize that what you thought was no big deal is, in actuality, a very big deal. There are complexities involved that you didn’t understand before. And there’s more at stake, too.

Today is Saturday, Feb. 12, the 43rd day of 2011. There are 322 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 12, 1809, Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States, was born in present-day Larue County, Ky. On this date: In 1554, Lady Jane Grey, who’d claimed the throne of England for nine days, and her husband, Guildford Dudley, were beheaded after being condemned for high treason.

In 1795, the University of North Carolina became the first U.S. state university to admit students with the arrival of Hinton James.

In 1908, the first round-the-world automobile race began in New York. (It ended in Paris the following July with the drivers of the American car, a Thomas Flyer, declared the winners over teams from Germany and Italy.)

In 1915, the cornerstone for the Lincoln Memorial was laid in Washington, D.C., a year to the day after groundbreaking.

In 1940, the radio play “The Adventures of Superman” debuted with Bud Collyer as the Man of Steel.

In 1959, the redesigned Lincoln penny with an image of the Lincoln Memorial replacing two ears of wheat on the reverse side went into circulation.

In 1973, Operation Homecoming began as the first release of American prisoners of war from the Vietnam conflict took place.

In 1999, the Senate voted to acquit President Bill CLinton of perjury and obstruction of justice.

One year ago: On the day the Winter Olympics opened in Vancouver, British Columbia, Nodar Kumaritashvili (noh-DAHR’ KOO’-mah-ree-tahsh-VEE’-lee), a 21-yearold luger from the republic of Georgia, was killed in a high-speed crash during a practice run.

MATURING TEENAGER IS FEARFUL, ASHAMED OF BODY’S CHANGES

DEAR ABBY: I am a 17-year-old girl who is obsessed with remaining a virgin. I’m uncomfortable around guys my age for fear they will want sex.

I am tormented all day long by thoughts of losing my virginity. If I see a mildly racy scene in a movie or have a sexual thought and experience some sort of physiological reaction, I become extremely upset. I must repeatedly reassure myself that any arousal was not deliberate.

I’m sick of feeling so anxious over this stuff. I sometimes wish I didn’t know about sex at all. What can I do? -- EMBARRASSED IN NEW YORK DEAR EMBARRASSED: Stop beating yourself up for having normal feelings for someone your age. As young women (and men) mature, sexual feelings happen. They are not shameful, and experiencing them does not mean they must be acted upon.

The more you tell yourself NOT to think about something, the more you will. (I feel similarly about chocolate.) One way to deal with obsessive thoughts is to divert the thought into an action that IS acceptable. In your case, becoming involved in sports might rechannel some of your sexual energy. The key is to stay busy. But if your obsessive thoughts persist, they should be discussed with a licensed mental health professional.

DEAR ABBY: My daughter-in-law is driving us crazy. She is constantly on her cell phone with Facebook, e-mail or playing games when she’s at our home. Her sons (3 and 7) were fighting last week and she didn’t even raise her head to break it up. She just repeated in a monotone, “Stop,” because she didn’t want to break her concentration!

What I don’t understand is, she’s a teacher. How would

she feel if her whole class tweeted, e-mailed and played games during her lessons? If I say anything about her using the phone at our dinner table, she makes a face and later tells my son I’m rude. -- HAD THE INTERNET UP TO HERE! DEAR HAD THE INTERNET!: The Internet has many virtues. It provides information and diversion -- but it can also be addictive. From your description of your daughter-in-law, it appears she has become hooked. That she would fail to intervene when her children misbehave sends a strong message.

You should detail your concerns to your son because they are valid. Not only is your daughter-in-law’s behavior rude and a poor example, but the children are being neglected. The Internet is not the problem. The problem is her fixation on it.

DEAR ABBY: After entertaining family and friends with BBQ holiday dinners, which includes purchasing all the food and beverages, must I send guests home with leftovers? Over the years, it has been “expected” that I’d give them a takehome dinner at my expense. What’s right -- pack the leftovers for my own personal use or divide them up for guests? -LEFT HOLDING THE BAG DEAR LEFT HOLDING THE BAG: People “expect” you to send the leftovers with them because that’s the pattern you set all these years. Because you now prefer to keep them for your personal use, pare down the menu and prepare less food. You might also clean up earlier and put the excess food away -- out of sight, out of mind. If you are questioned, deal with it by pointing out that in this economy everyone needs to cut back -- and while in the past you sent food home with your guests, for the foreseeable future “charity” begins at home. YOUR home.

Town of Albany now on Facebook

Wednesday at the public hearing for the town’s budget, a few changes were made. A line item of $400 was added for the historical society to apply for a tax exemption. The budget to be presented in March will be $565,312. The warrant articles were approved as well. They total $80,020 not including the offset monies from the unreserved fund balance, capital reserve and monies received from the N.H. Charitable Foundation.

As soon as the budget and warrant articles are finalized you can check them on the town’s website albanynh.org.

On Tuesday, the school board’s budget was also approved. There were no changes made to it. The regular education budget is up $181,104 from last year’s budget due, according to Superintendent Carl Nelson, to our equalized property value increase. The special education budget decreased from last year by $143,463 because, again from Nelson, one student aged out. Speech services are down $250 from 2010-2011. Psychological services, occupational/ physical therapy services, are reduced to $100 each which is merely a place holder. School board services are up $3,000, money for the office of superintendent is up $1,384 and pupil transportation is up $5,930. In total, the appropriations for the 2011-2012 budget will be $1,311,252, up $32,605 or a 2.55 percent increase.

There are eight warrant articles: elect a moderator, elect a clerk, elect a member of the school board, elect a treasurer, engage an auditor (to meet provision HB1448, appropriate $1,311,252 to support the schools, raise and appropriate $15,000 for capital reserve funds for special education (presently in reserve $99,000). Also at the meeting Colleen Cormack offered a motion to have public input before and after each meeting of the school board. It passed.

Now residents have no excuse for not attending meetings. Colleen also informed me that the town has a Facebook account for notices and events. You will find postings of meetings and snow days for example. Check it out: Facebook, Albany, NH. Library: Monday is Open Mic Night featuring Red Gallagher.

Tuesday attorney Maurice Geiger and Dr. Heidi Root will speak about recent experiences during and after the January 2010 earthquake which devastated Haiti.

According to UNH’s Alice Mullen, MS, RD, LD, it would take two gallons of chlorine poured down the drain to harm the system. Using one to two tablespoons of chlorine bleach a week will not harm the septic system.

I’m happy to hear that since I use bleach in the laundry regularly.

About the Shawn Smith Ski For Youth Foundation: Shawn Smith lost his life two years ago in a tragic motorcycle accident at the age of 34. He was raised and lived his life in the Mount Washington Valley community. From a very early age, Shawn developed a strong connection to the beautiful natural resources the Mount Washington Valley had to offer. He was especially drawn to skiing and chose as an adult to combine his love and his profession by working in the local businesses within the ski industry. Shawn was happiest when skiing and enjoying the outdoors with friends and family. He was keenly aware that these opportunities were something to be appreciated and worked towards sharing this appreciation with others. After Shawn’s death, the Shawn Smith Ski For Youth Foundation was formed to help any local youth defray costs to further their love of outdoor sports and music. It is the belief of the Shawn Smith Ski For Youth Foundation that all local MWV youth and families should have access to, and fully enjoy all of the natural resources the Mount Washing ton Valley has to offer. finished his training and is soon to be deployed to Afghanistan. Before doing so though, he’s coming to visit grandma.

Till then, Sandy needs to recover from her respitory condition that has inflicted so many of us in the state. Get well Sandy.

We’ve had a week’s reprieve from snow, but not cold. Keep warm and enjoy yourselves. Have a great week.

Anyway, I just want to say kudos to Karen who spent months getting ready for this event and a BIG thank you to the Red Jacket for a really wonderful job. Your efforts are truly appreciated.

THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION DW 04-048

DW 11-026

Acquisition of Pennichuck by the City of Nashua ORDER OF NOTICE

On February 4, 2011, the City of Nashua (Nashua), Pennichuck Corporation, Pennichuck Water Works, Inc. (PWW), Pittsfield Aqueduct Company, Inc. (PAC), and Pennichuck East Utility, Inc. (PEU) (together, Joint Petitioners) filed a Joint Petition for Approval of Nashua’s Acquisition of Pennichuck Corporation (Joint Petition) pursuant to the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger (Merger Agreement) filed with the Commission on November 16, 2010 in DW 04-048 (the eminent domain docket). The petition and other docket filings, other than information for which confidential treatment is requested of or granted by the Commission, may be viewed on the Commission’s website at http:// www.puc.nh.gov/Regulatory/Docketbk/2011/11-026.htm .

The Merger Agreement would allow Nashua to acquire all outstanding shares of Pennichuck Corporation, which would include indirect acquisition of its regulated subsidiaries, PWW, PAC, and PEU. According to the Joint Petitioners, the acquisition is subject to a number of conditions including approval of financing by at least two-thirds of the Nashua Board of Aldermen, approval by at least two-thirds of the shareholders of Pennichuck Corporation, the completion of Nashua’s financing of the transaction, and approval by the Commission. Once the acquisition occurs, Nashua intends to operate all Pennichuck Corporation businesses using the companies’ current operating employees and to appoint an independent board of directors to oversee operations.

The Joint Petitioners also request that the Commission approve a ratemaking structure designed to establish rates that balance customer interests with Nashua’s need to obtain sufficient cash flow to meet its debt service obligations on the general obligation bonds it intends to issue to finance the costs of the proposed merger transaction. The Joint Petitioners state that the rates sought by PWW and PAC in their current rate proceedings, Docket Nos. DW 10-091 and DW 10-090, will likely be sufficient to meet the cash requirements associated with their operations including their share of the debt service on the City of Nashua’s anticipated bond financing.

The Joint Petitioners also filed a Motion to Consolidate the Joint Petition for Approval of the Acquisition of Pennichuck Corporation by the City of Nashua with the eminent domain docket, DW 04-048 (Motion). In its Motion, the Joint Petitioners represent, among other things, that the Merger Agreement contemplates the settlement of all issues raised in the eminent domain docket and that consolidation of the two dockets would allow for a more efficient review of the Merger Agreement.

For administrative efficiency, this Order of Notice will be issued in both DW 04-048 and DW 11-026, with a prehearing conference in DW 11-026 to be held concurrently with the procedural conference currently scheduled in DW 04-048.

The filing raises, inter alia, issues related to RSA 374:22 and 30 and whether the stock acquisition by Nashua results in the transfer of the PWW, PAC and PEU franchises to Nashua; RSA 369:8 and whether the stock acquisition by Nashua is subject to review and approval; whether Nashua’s indirect ownership and operation of PWW, PAC and PEU results in Nashua’s provision of water service within those franchises and if so whether such indirect ownership and operation will be for the public good; RSA 374:4 and the Commission’s oversight of the management of utility operations as well as the safety, adequacy, and accommodation of the utility service provided; RSA 38:8 relative to the proposed transactions and settlement agreement; RSA 38:13 relative to ratification; and RSA 38:9 relative to Commission expenses for the proceeding; and whether the Merger Agreement should be considered in the eminent domain docket, separately or the two should be consolidated. Each party has the right to have an attorney represent the party at the party’s own expense.

Based upon the foregoing, it is hereby ORDERED, that a Prehearing Conference in DW 11-026, pursuant to N.H. Code Admin. Rules Puc 203.15, and a Procedural Conference in DW 04-048 be held before the Commission located at 21 S. Fruit St., Suite 10, Concord, New Hampshire on February 24, 2011, at 10:00 a.m., at which each party will provide a preliminary statement of its position regarding the petition and any of the issues set forth in N.H. Code Admin. Rules Puc 203.15 shall be considered; and it is FURTHER ORDERED, that, immediately following the Prehearing Conference and Procedural Conference, the Joint Petitioners, Staff, parties, and any intervenors hold a Technical Session to review the petition and allow the Joint Petitioner to provide any amendments or updates to the petition; and it is FURTHER ORDERED, that pursuant to N.H. Code Admin. Rules Puc 203.12, the Joint Petitioners shall notify all persons desiring to be heard at this hearing by publishing a copy of this Order of Notice no later than February 14, 2011, in a newspaper with general circulation in those portions of the state in which operations are conducted, publication to be documented by affidavit filed with the Commission on or before February 24, 2011; and it is FURTHER ORDERED, that pursuant to N.H. Code Admin. Rules Puc 203.17, any party seeking to intervene in DW 11-026 shall submit to the Commission seven copies of a Petition to Intervene with copies sent to the Joint Petitioners and the Office of the Consumer Advocate on or before February 21, 2011, such Petition stating the facts demonstrating how its rights, duties, privileges, immunities or other substantial interest may be affected by the proceeding, as required by N.H. Code Admin. Rule Puc 203.17 and RSA 541-A:32,I(b); and it is FURTHER ORDERED, that any party objecting to a Petition to Intervene make said Objection on or before February 24, 2011.

Forney runs with the bulls; passes them all on Wall Street Kennett High student made an incredible $5.34 million profit in just over four months playing the stock market CONWAY — An economy coming out of recession was just what the doctor ordered for Kennett High students involved in the stock market simulation held in Jon Judge’s economics classes this past semester. Mr. Judge’s students took an initial investment of $500,000, created and managed portfolios, tested investing strategies, and competed with each other to see who might become the next Warren Buffet or Bill Gates.

Every senior at Kennett will participate in the online contest, an educational simulation that has been offered exclusively by HowTheMarketWorks. com. The website was created to help individuals understand how stock trading works. The ultimate goal, enabling “contestants” to begin trading in the stock market for the first time or to simply have a better understanding of what happens behind the scenes on Wall Street.

“The simulation acts as a hook for many of our students, allowing them to relate the major economics concepts covered in class to real world scenarios,” Judge said. “Whether it is simply supply and demand in the stock market, the calculations behind what establishes price of equities, or what interest rates do to the economy, the simulation gives the kids insight into the real world. What many would consider a rather dull subject comes to life in the classrooms at Kennett.”

This semester’s top honors went to Mathew Forney, who made an incredible $5.34 million profit in just over four months. That equates to a 1,006.8 percent gain!

“Over the course of the semester, Matt did an incredible job investing,” Judge said. “He spent

a lot of time in the ‘trading pits’ to accomplish this feat. He started the simulation, got hooked, and then set the class record for most profit recorded during a semester, outdistancing his peers by millions of dollars.

To give you some idea of just how well Matt did, the S&P 500, considered the benchmark of US equity performance, showed an increase of 14.7 percent over the same time

period. This means that Matt made millions, while the S&P 500 earned $73,526.

“Day-trading was my key,” Forney said. “Once I started, I got addicted to the strategy and the game. I would trade up to 75 or 80 times a day, buying hundreds of thousands of shares in different companies.

Although it might seem unrealistic as a strategy, it is one that I found to be a winning formula.”

FRYEBURG — The Fryeburg Academy Nordic Ski Team is now heading down the home stretch of their season with a clearer picture of its competition emerging. Due to an early season lack of snow several races had to be canceled which normally allow teams to measure themselves against each other at both the Conference and State levels. Without this measuring stick teams went through the middle part of the season still unsure of their competition level with the rest of the state.

That changed recently with the annual Jon Sassi Memorial race in Rumford. Known only as the “Sassi” this race has become the largest in the state and thus the most competitive. Among the schools represented were Caribou and Fort Kent from Aroostook County, nearly seven hours away. This is truly an all state race. This year’s Sassi was also billed as the largest ever with 235 boys and 192 girls.

The story of the day was when Fryeburg’s sophomore sensation Silas Eastman took top honors for the boys. This was the first time a boy from Fryeburg had won this race in its 22 year existence (Joanna Kinsman won it for the girls in 2003). If you win this race you can comfortably say you are the best Nordic

skier in Maine… at the moment.

Silas may have taken top billing but the underlying story was the strong performance of his teammates. Seth Eastman and Paul Kurnick came in 13th and 14th respectively. This would be the first time Fryeburg had 3 skiers in the top 15 at the Sassi.

Adding in a strong race from second year skier Adam Armington had the Fryeburg team finishing in 5 place. When the day was done, along with the long awaited measuring of competition, there was a lot to be excited about. Yes, Fryeburg was still in 5th place but they were within striking distance of the top spots and we were also the top Class A school.

Next up are the Western Maine Conference Championships at Stark’s Hill in Fryeburg on Saturday.

Fryeburg skier results from Sassi were Silas Eastman, first; Seth Eastman, 13th; Paul Kurnick, 14th; Adam Armington, 62nd; Peter Caffrey, 96th; Logan Gerchman, 109th; Liam LeConey, 162; Dacota Griffin, 165; David Fulton, 167; Tristen Harvie, 199; Sullivan Briggs, 209; and Forest Edson, 218.

For the girls: Aslyn Dindorf, 43rd; Hannah Plowden, 60; Amber Dindorf, 112; Emily Powers, 175; and Meghan Costello, 181.

Administration seeks smaller federal role in mortgages

BY SEWELL CHAN NEW YORK TIMES

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration released a broad outline on Friday for the future of housing finance in the United States, calling for a substantial reduction in government support for the mortgage market but providing few concrete details about how it should be accomplished.

In a 31-page report, the administration proposed that the two mortgage lending giants, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, should be gradually abolished within 10 years at most, and it gave Congress three options for reducing the government’s role in supporting homeownership. It did not recommend an option; instead, the document was intended to set parameters for what is certain to be a heated and protracted debate.

“We need to wind down Fannie and Freddie substantially, and reduce the government’s footprint in the housing market,” Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner said in a forum at the Brookings Institution shortly after the report was released.

In presenting the three options, the administration is taking an approach similar to the one adopted before the health care debate: setting out broad principles but leaving some of the thorniest choices to be decided by lawmakers.

The plan, jointly prepared by the Treasury Department and the Department of Housing and Urban Development, aims to shrink the government’s role in the mortgage market and “bring private capital back to the mortgage market.”

Still, the administration excluded the possibility of completely eliminating government support for the housing market — as some free-market conservative Republicans have proposed. But officials said the government’s role would almost certainly be reduced from what it was before the financial crisis began in 2008.

Geithner called the document “a plan for fundamental reform,” but emphasized that the process would take time because of the housing market’s fragility.

“We are going to start the process of reform now, but we are going to do it responsibly and carefully so that we support the recovery and the process of repair of the housing market,” he said in a statement.

Republicans reacted cautiously to the new blueprint. Representative Spencer T. Bachus, an Alabama Republican and the chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, commended the administration for including ideas from Republicans.

“However, what the administration offered today isn’t a plan to move us forward, but rather a collection of options to consider,” Bachus said in a statement. “What’s needed is a real plan, and we intend to sit down with administration officials to find common ground.”

Under one option, the government’s historically dominant role in insuring or guaranteeing mortgages would shrink substantially, and would be limited to support for creditworthy borrowers with low and moderate incomes.

The other two options would preserve a role for the government as an insurer of mortgages see MORTGAGES page 50

A chance to start out new Today’s Home of the Week is a new three-bedroom home on Grandval Way in Madison

MADISON — “Why not start out with a new home?” asks listing agent David Haine.

Here’s your chance.

This three-bedroom, two-bath contemporary on Grandval Way in Madison has just been built and is awaiting its first owner.

The home is located close to five beaches on the Pea Porridge ponds and is just a short drive to the King Pine Ski Area.

An open-concept kitchen, dining and living area “makes this house feel spacious,” Haine said. There are hardwood floors in all three of those rooms.

Other features include propane-forced hot-water heat; a firstfloor laundry; and a finished basement.

Total square footage is 1,500.

The home is priced at $179,500. For a showing, contact David Haine at David R. Haine Real Estate in Conway at (603) 4475023 or (603) 387-7516.

The kitchen, dining and living area is an open concept with hardwood floors.

MORTGAGES from page 49

— but only in times of financial turmoil, under one possibility.

Fannie and Freddie, which were placed in government conservatorship in September 2008, along with the Federal Housing Administration currently guarantee more than 90 percent of all new mortgages. The F.H.A. alone guarantees about 30 percent, compared with a historical norm of roughly 10 percent to 15 percent.

The first option would limit the government’s role in insuring or guaranteeing mortgages to programs targeted at creditworthy borrowers with low or moderate incomes. It would let capital flow from housing to other sectors of the economy, reduce systemic risk and minimize taxpayer exposure to potential losses. Under this option, mortgages for most Americans would be significantly more expensive.

“In particular, it may be more difficult for many Americans to afford the traditional pre-payable, 30-year fixed-rate mortgage,” the report noted.

Smaller lenders and community banks would find it hard to compete in the regular mortgage market.

The second option would provide a government backstop to ensure access to credit during a housing crisis. In normal times, the government would have a “minimal presence” in the mortgage market, but during times of financial stress, it would “scale up.”

The government would set the fee that it would charge for guaranteeing mortgages at a high enough level so that the guarantee would only be desirable in the absence of private capital, or the government would restrict the amount of public insurance sold to the private market in normal times, but allow it to grow to stabilize the market

during times of strain.

The second option would give the government greater ability to soften the blow of a housing downturn than the first, but the traditional 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage would still be more expensive than it is now.

The final option would offer explicit government insurance for securities backed by a targeted range of mortgages. Under this approach, a group of private mortgage guarantors “that meet stringent capital and oversight requirements” would guarantee securities backed by mortgages that meet strict underwriting standards.

A government “reinsurer” would then insure the holders of those securities, and would pay out only if the shareholders of the private mortgage guarantors “have been entirely wiped out.” The government would charge a premium for such insurance; the money would be used to cover future claims and recoup losses. This final option would provide the least expensive access to mortgage credit of the three choices, though mortgage rates would probably still increase. But like the current system, that option might result in artificially high housing prices and expose the taxpayer to risks.

Geithner said the options represented a range between two undesirable extremes.

“We do take the view that it would be fundamentally untenable for the country to adopt a model where the government plays no role,” he said. “We also feel it would not make sense for the country for the government to, on an ongoing basis, be guaranteeing 80, 90 percent of the mortgage market.”

Though many of the specifics needs to be hashed out, it seems that a system of housing-market support dating to the New Deal will be transformed.

“Going forward, the government’s primary role should be limited to robust oversight and con-

sumer protection, targeted assistance for low- and moderate-income homeowners and renters, and carefully designed support for market stability and crisis report,” the document states.

Geithner’s remarks at the Brookings forum elicited a variety of responses from policy experts gathered there. While they disagreed on the proper role of government support for housing, they agreed that the emerging system was likely to be vastly different from what has preceded it.

“I think we ought to be shifting the emphasis away from housing and other forms of consumption and be laser-focused on two overriding objectives of economic policy: increasing productivity growth and broader sharing of the fruits of that growth across income groups,” said Alice M. Rivlin, a former vice chairwoman of the Federal Reserve. “And housing may not be the best set of policies to accomplish either goal.”

But Peter J. Wallison, a prominent conservative critic of the existing system, objected to the call by officials for continued government support for private mortgage securitization.

“They do not yet accept the idea that any government backing for housing finance will eventually result — as it has in the past — in a disaster for taxpayers,” said Wallison, a fellow at the American Enterprise Institute.

As long as only prime mortgages are securitized, he said, “we will not need any government support other than for low-income borrowers through the Federal Housing Administration.” Even then, he said, the support should be on the government’s books (unlike the liabilities of Fannie and Freddie) and should limit taxpayers’ exposure.

The Consumer Federation of America raised questions about the plan, saying it would only shift control of the mortgage market to Wall Street.

“The administration today has laid out a series of options that could lead to the abandonment of a nearly 70-year commitment to affordable homeownership by working American families,” said Barry Zigas, director of housing policy for the organization. “American consumers need policies that will foster affordable, long-term fixed rate mortgages, as well as a stable supply of capital that will be available to lenders of all sizes, including community banks and credit unions.”

Removal recourse ASK A BROKER

BY PETER G. MILLER CTW FEATURES

QUESTION: When we purchased our, home part of the agreement was that the sellers would leave the custom dining room carpet and pad in place. However, these items were removed prior to closing. What can we do?

ANSWER: Your real estate agreement required the sellers to deliver both the property and the carpeting as part of the transaction. The missing items should have been noted during the walk-through before settlement. Then the easiest solution is to cite the requirement at closing and either get a credit for a replacement carpet and pad or have the closing agent set up an escrow account and withhold money until the seller returns the promised items.

QUESTION: It rained the first week after we bought our house and we found out the tile roof leaked.

We had the home inspected prior to closing and the owners did not disclose this problem. We later found out they had worked on the roof and knew about the leak, but did not disclose.

The repairs are costing us big money. What can we do?

ANSWER: It may be that in good faith the owners had the roof repaired and therefore did not believe there was any leak to report.

With the repair there may not have

been damage to be found with a professional inspection.

Since there was a professional repair, check to see if the work is backed by a warranty — and if the warranty applies to new owners.

QUESTION: We bought a home with a central vacuum. When we moved in the attachments were missing. Can we force the sellers to return the attachments or pay for new ones?

ANSWER: If you did not catch this at closing the odds are that it will not be worthwhile to pursue the owners for either the attachments or cash.

Instead of “force,” the better approach may be diplomacy and a nice note asking for the return of the missing items.

QUESTION: What are the odds of a successful mortgage application.

ANSWER: Overwhelming. Figures from the National Association of Realtors show that 92 percent of all borrowers have success with their first mortgage application.

Even those who do not get a loan the first time out can find success. Only 3 percent of all borrowers are rejected by two lenders.

The big trick with mortgage applications is to give lenders the paperwork and verifications they need.

Have tax returns and W2s on hand before applying for a loan and make sure an employer will quickly verify your job status. © CTW Features

Department of Agriculture: A little country hospitality If you’re not a farmer, you may think that the only way the U.S. Department of Agriculture impacts you is by ensuring that your favorite cut of steak makes the grade.

But the USDA is allowing folks — even those who don’t know a hen from a rooster - to become homeowners.

“Like the Veteran’s Administration,” explains Ron Smith, president of the Texas Association of Mortgage Professionals, “the USDA [housing loan] program offers no-down-payment mortgages.”

“It’s a benefit to the consumer,” says Christopher Aniskovich, vice president of the Connecticut Association of Mortgage Brokers. He tries to alert borrow-

ers if they’re buying in an area deemed “rural” by the USDA, which can include outer suburban-like areas now dotted with homes that may have once been farms.

One of the biggest impediments to having borrowers take USDA loans is that real estate agents are often unfamiliar with the program and warn their clients that it could involve lots of red tape, says Aniskovich.

To find out more, check with one of the approved lenders participating in the program at http://www.rurdev.usda. gov/rhs/sfh/GSFH_Information/Lenders/Approved_National_Lenders.pdf.

Cool ranch: One-story home makes a real estate comeback

BY BARBARA BALLINGER CTW FEATURES

Ranch-style houses, sometimes referred to as ramblers or ranchers, are considered a native architectural genre.

Originally constructed in the 1920s, they gained more fans in the post-war years as suburbs burgeoned and the format could be affordably constructed. They were easy to live in, furnish and maintain with fairly open, modern yet modest layouts.

But like many other housing styles, they fell out of favor when homeowners sought traditional, twostory homes and, later, McMansions. Now, they’re the comeback kid for multiple reasons.

• Broad Appeal Many baby boomers now ask for a ranch because they want to remain in a single-family house and find it easier not to climb stairs, says Atlanta-based broker Rhonda Duffy. Others want to bring aging parents to live with them, who also can’t navigate stairs. “They’ll often ask for two master bedrooms on the main floor,” she says.

The ranch is an appealing, affordable choice for young families not in need of much space, adds Paige Rien, a designer with HGTV’s “Hidden Potential” who lives in a 1950s 1,500-square-foot ranch in New Jersey.

• Modern Style Many ranch-buyers view them as an easier living option than traditional designs since the living spaces can be opened to an almost loft-like plan.

Chad DeWitt, an architect based in Oakland, Calif., has found this to be the case. “They’re so easy to make contemporary. By the time many were built in the 1940s and ‘50s, open-plan living had become popular, and people ... entertained and barbecued with an emphasis on indoor/outdoor living,” he says.

• Affordability Because of some ranches having a smaller footprint and their overall lack of appeal for years, the cost of buying and operating them has been less.

“They don’t require heating a second floor,” says Duffy.

Mark Brock, a public relations executive in Charlotte, N.C., purchased an affordable 1,500-squarefoot ranch on a half-acre 15 minutes from downtown.

Although he bought it when he was in his late 40s, now that he’s 60 he views it as a good place to stay put. Literary publicist Antoinette Kuritz found her 1950s San Diego ranch a less costly housing choice since it was small, having been built for General Dynamics workers. It was also in “derelict” shape, she says.

• Nice Details Though some of the earliest designs were built on postage-size lots, later ones often were built on bigger sites that allowed designs to sprawl, says Barb St. Amant, a real-estate agent with Harry Norman Realtors in Atlanta.

At a time when many houses were constructed with attention to detail, the nicer ranches featured indoor barbecues in kitchens or stacked stone hearths and fireplaces, says DeWitt.

Many also came with 9-foot-high ceilings, says St. Amant. And they were an easy design to improve.

Cody Baker, with Ebby Halliday Realtors in Dallas, considers the ranch the equivalent of “the little black dress” that can be adorned, and she’s done so with her home “Over 70 percent of our house is entertainment space,”she says. Tammy Maddrey, an agent with Roger Fazendin Realtors in Wayzata, Minn., opened narrow hallways to adjoining rooms and finished a lower level.
