Computer hall of fame

3DAYFORECASTLOTTERY

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. (NY Times) — Silicon Valley’s shrine to the computer has finally upgraded to version 2.0.

The museum, which moved to Silicon Valley in 1996 and occupied makeshift sites, has undergone a $19 million renovation.

On Thursday, the 35-year-old Computer History Museum unveiled a $19 million overhaul, making this small city some 40 miles south of San Francisco a destination for anyone interested in the evolution from the abacus to the iPhone.

“We are living through the time of transition, from there being no computers anywhere to there being computers in everything that we touch,” said Leonard J. Shustek, a venture capitalist and chairman of the museum’s board.

“We owe it to the future to preserve the artifacts and stories of how that happened.”

Housed for two decades in Boston, the immense and growing collection of hardware, tech trinkets and ephemera was moved in 1996 to Silicon Valley, where it occupied various makeshift locations and served as a go-to place for technology insiders to reminisce about the heady, built-in-the-garage computer era.

GOP selects new chairman after Steele abandons bid OXON HILL, Md. (NY Times) — The Republican National Committee selected a new chairman on Friday, with Reince Priebus of Wisconsin surviving seven contentious rounds of balloting to succeed Michael Steele, who dropped out after the fourth round, as party officials expressed a desire for new leadership to prepare for the 2012 presidential election.

Mr. Priebus, who broke away from Mr. Steele’s inner circle to run against him, pledged to pay off the committee’s $21 million debt and

strengthen state parties across the country to build upon the Republican victories in the midterm elections. Mr. Priebus received 97 votes from the committee.

“We have to get on track. Together, we can defeat Barack Obama in 2012,” Mr. Priebus said, addressing members of the committee at the end of four hours of voting. He added, “We all recognize that there’s a steep hill ahead of us. The only way we’ll be able to move forward is if we’re all together.”

A clamor for gun limits, but few expect change TUCSON (NY Times) — The National Rifl e Association has gone uncommonly dark since the weekend shootings here. A posting on its Web site expresses sympathies for the victims of the violence, and N.R.A. officials said they would have nothing to say until the funerals and memorial services were over.In Arizona, the shootings have led some citizens to call for more guns, not more gun control. Why is that?

In Washington, bills were being

SAYWHAT...

“

Computer: a million morons working at the speed of light” —David Ferrier

drafted to step up background checks, create no-gun zones around members of Congress and ban the big-volume magazines that allowed the Tucson gunman to shoot so many bullets so fast. Gun control advocates say they believe the shock of the attack has altered the political atmosphere, in no small part because one of the victims is a member of Congress.

“I really do believe that this time it could be different,” said

Paul Helmke, executive director of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence.

Yet gun rights advocates and lawmakers on both sides of the aisle said Thursday that there was little chance the attack would produce signifi cant new legislation or a change in a national culture that has long been accepting of guns. If anything, they said, lawmakers are less receptive than ever to new gun restrictions.

Prime minister claims power in Tunisia as president flees

TUNIS (NY Times) — President Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali of Tunisia fl ed his country Friday after a month of street demonstrations against his authoritarian government and increasingly vociferous calls for his ouster. The prime minister went on state television Friday night to say he was temporarily in charge.

The president’s fl ight was confirmed by an Obama Administration offi cial and the French Foreign Ministry, but it remained unclear where he had gone. In his speech to the country, the Tunisian prime minister, Mohamed Ghannouchi, said, “As the president of the republic is unable to exercise his functions for the time being, I have assumed, starting now, the powers of the president.”

“I call on all sons and daughters of Tunisia,” the prime minister said, “to show the spirit of patriotism and unity in order to enable our country, which is dear to all of us, to overcome this difficult phase and restore its security and stability.”

FAIR GAME Plame’s status as a CIA agent was revealed by White House officials allegedly out to discredit her husband after he wrote a 2003 New York Times oped piece saying that the Bush administration had manipulated intelligence about weapons of mass destruction to justify the invasion of Iraq.

Snow emergency towing nets Manchester $3,025

BY BETH LAMONTAGNE HALL THE UNION LEADER

MANCHESTER — New England was warned for days about Wednesday’s storm, but 121 vehicle owners were caught off guard when the city declared a snow emergency.

This most recent snow emergency parking ban resulted in 121 cars towed, netting the city $3,025. From 10 p.m. Wednesday to 6 a.m. Thursday, cars were prohibited from parking on city streets. Those left behind were towed and made to pay a $110 fine. Of that fi ne, the city gets $25 and the remaining $85 goes to eight towing companies contracted by Manchester.

This is the second snow emergency called this winter. During the previ-

ous Dec. 27 snow storm, the city towed 277 cars over two days. Police said there were fewer cars towed during this storm, but it doesn’t mean it’s because residents learned their lesson the first time.

“I don’t think there is any rhyme or reason to the numbers that are towed,” said Manchester Police Sgt. Michael Hurley. “It seems like you can’t really predict the number that’s going to go down each snow emergency.”

Hurley said 121 is a relatively low number and could indicate people knew there was going to be a big snow storm and made plans to park their vehicles elsewhere.

The total towing fees collected by the city this winter is now up to $9,950, which has already surpassed last year’s total of $4,072.

Snow ReportTom Eastman

After a day on the snow, kick back with the Pats

CONWAY — Ordinarily, when the New England Patriots are doing well, it means bad business for the local ski scene because everyone heads home to Massachusetts early to watch the game. But with the Pats not playing the N.Y. Jets until 4:30 p.m. Sunday, let alone on a Sunday that is part of the three-day Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend, it should be a busy one on the slopes.

“We’re adding a third large screen TV to Zip’s Pub for the game Sunday,” said Cranmore’s Kathy Bennett this week.

Other ski areas and lounges are also expected to be hopping. Go Pats!

••• FIREWORKS: Cranmore is celebrating Martin Luther King Jr. weekend with a pirate-themed Cranapalooza beginning at 3 p.m. Saturday, with apres ski entertainment by the popular duo, Dennis and Davey, and fireworks at 7:30 p.m.

A Jib Saw Terrain Park event is set for Jan. 16 for skiers and riders; registration is at 8:30; competition starts at noon. The newly expanded tubing park and all new Mountain Coaster will be open extended hours to 9 p.m. Friday through Sunday, and until 4 p.m. Monday.

••• HAIL, HAIL THE SNOW: This past Wednesday’s nor’easter was just what the skiing doctor ordered: a mid-week snowstorm, right before the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend.

“This is Mount Washington Valley’s dream of a good situation,” noted Janice Crawford, executive director of the Mount Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce after Wednesday’s storm left between 10 and 30 inches of snow on the ski slopes and touring trails of the region. “To have a storm right in the middle of the week is great. To have it happen before a holiday weekend is the icing on the cake.”

Ski NH reported the following snowfall amounts from Wednesday’s storm: Black (383-4490), 18-24 inches; Bretton Woods (278-3320), 26-30 inches; Cannon (823-8800), 24 inches; Cranmore (356-5543), 14 inches; King Pine (367-8896), 15 inches; and Shawnee Peak (207-647-8444), 16 inches.

Bear Notch, Jackson Ski Touring, King Pine Nordic Reserve and Mount Washington Valley Ski Touring all had had to close after Christmas due to the bare ground.

Now, along with Bretton Woods and Great Glen Trails, they are all in fine shape.

“We’ve got a lot of people out there having a great time,” said Thom Perkins of Jackson Ski Touring Friday, as the sun was shining on the glistening newly groomed powder of the JSTF’s 154-kilometer system.

The snow was also being hailed at Bear Notch, the family-owned, 60-kilometer system along the Saco River and the Bartlett Experimental Forest.

“It was a godsend to get that snow when we did, midweek and before the holiday weekend. It gave us time to groom it out, and people are telling us that the skiing along the Saco is just superb,” said Doug Garland Friday.

The snow and sunshine made for excellent conditions at Great Glen Trails Outdoor Center, which, in addition to cross-country skiing, also offers snow tubing and SnowCoach tours. (Having enjoyed a tour and then ski down the Auto Road a few years ago, the tour up the Mount Washington Auto Road in the tracked vehicle comes heartily recommended.)

Great Glen is featuring an On Snow Nordic Demo Day Saturday. Come try all the latest gear.

THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Saturday, January 15, 2011— Page 7

Yankees sign Soriano for bullpen help NEY YORK (NY Times) — Snubbed by Cliff Lee and discouraged by the lack of attractive available starters, the Yankees improved their pitching staff Thursday night by working backward. They strengthened their bullpen by agreeing to a threeyear, $35 million contract with Rafael Soriano, whose 45 saves for the Tampa Bay Rays last season led the American League.

As soon as he passes his physical exam, the Yankees can begin dreaming in earnest about Soriano’s teaming with closer Mariano Rivera to form perhaps the most imposing late-inning tandem in baseball.

The Yankees expect Soriano’s presence to alleviate the pressure on a rotation fraught with uncertainty beyond C. C. Sabathia and Phil Hughes. His arrival evokes the blueprint from the championship season of 1996, when Rivera and John Wetteland locked down the final innings.

Tyler Bettencourt, 10, of Conway, has become a halftime hit at Kennett High basketball games this winter. The enthusiastic young man is quite the dancing machine and a fan favorite. He shares his spirit with everyone.

At some point, Rivera, 41, will retire, and in Soriano the Yankees have at once an heir and insurance — expensive for a setup man — in case Rivera gets hurt.

According to a baseball offi cial with knowledge of the deal, the contract contains opt-out clauses after each of the fi rst two seasons. If Soriano fulfi lls the terms, he will make $10 million in 2011, $11 million in 2012 and $14 million in 2013. If he opts out after this season, Soriano stands to receive $11.5 million, and $21.5 million if he does so after 2012, when Rivera’s two-year deal expires.

By then, the Yankees will know whether Soriano, 31, can handle the pressure of pitching in New York and if he is the choice to succeed Rivera.

For now, he is the unanticipated centerpiece of the Yankees’ off-season haul after Lee turned down a guaranteed $148 million.

things,” Patriots Coach Bill Belichick said. “And that’s not saying they were deficient to begin with; Tom just strives for perfection. I think there is always a place for every player to improve, and that’s what Tom does. He works hard to try to find that little area of improvement that could result in a better play somewhere down the line.”

Brady’s statistics do not eclipse his stratospheric 2007 season, when he set an N.F.L. record with 50 touchdown passes while leading the Patriots to a 16-0 regular season. In that season, Brady completed 68.9 percent of his passes. Six receivers had double-digit reception totals, including Wes Welker (112) and Randy Moss (98), whose streaks down the sideline became the signature plays of the high-fl ying year.

The least experienced of those six ofttargeted receivers was tight end Ben Watson, then in his fourth season.

But the responsibility for the Patriots’ offense now rests with Brady more than ever. With the season under way, Belichick completed the transformation of the offense that was foreshadowed in April’s draft. The only receiver of that frequently targeted 2007 group who remains is Welker, who again was Brady’s leading receiver this season (86 catches).

Moss was sent packing early, and the veteran Deion Branch was reacquired from Seattle. Branch would become Brady’s second-leading receiver (48), but the newest faces have made the biggest impact. The rookie tight ends Aaron Hernandez (45) and Rob Gronkowski (42) were joined by the second-year receiver Brandon Tate (24) and the second-year running back Danny Woodhead (34), who was signed after the Jets let him go.

In a system that emphasizes shorter passes that allow for gaining yards after the catch, a premium has been placed on Brady’s accuracy. His completion percentage is 65.9. He threw 36 touchdown passes but only 4 interceptions, none since Oct. 17, a staggering run of 335 passes without being

picked off. Just before the Patriots’ regular-season fi nale against Miami, Dolphins Coach Tony Sparano said, “I mean, it blows my mind a little bit, to be honest with you.”

Brady’s interception rate is 0.8 percent, the second lowest since 1936, behind only Damon Huard, whose interception rate was 0.41 percent when he attempted 244 passes in 2006 for the Kansas City Chiefs. Brady attempted 492 passes this season.

“To have the guys he has — Woodhead, rookie tight ends, a castoff from Seattle — who does he have that’s supposed to be a legit Pro Bowl-type receiver?” said Brady’s former teammate Rodney Harrison, who is now retired and an NBC analyst. “To see Tom continually lead this team and show the confi dence, the young guys appreciate that. They want Tom to be proud of them. When you catch balls and Tom is proud of you, that makes them feel good.”

Branch, who spent four seasons with New England, then four with Seattle before returning to the Patriots this season, thinks Brady throws the deep ball better now than he did when Branch was first with the team, undoubtedly a result of taking advantage of Moss’s presence.

And Harrison thinks Brady’s accuracy is helped by his renewed confi dence in his left knee. In the fi rst game of 2008, Brady tore ligaments in the knee, causing him to miss the rest of the season. Last year, Harrison said, Brady did not yet feel sure enough to step fully into his throws.

But when Branch returned to the Patriots, he noticed a more drastic shift: Brady had become a more forceful fi gure on the team — a natural evolution, Belichick said — stepping into the vacuum created when more veteran players departed.

“He didn’t have to force his will on guys back then,” Branch said. “When you’ve got guys like Willie McGinest, Tedy Bruschi, Ted Washington, Mike Vrabel, we can name about 20 guys that we had when I was here in ’02 versus now. It’s a big difference.”

• A forum on law enforcement and crime will be held at town hall on Tuesday, Jan. 11.

Tele-Talk

Do you believe the economy is coming back?

The economy was showing signs of strengthening as 2010 drew to a close, according to a report this week from the Federal Reserve. The report cited rising employment levels across the country, and improvement in the manufacturing sector. “Economic activity continued to expand moderately from November through December,” according to the report. The economy grew 2.6 percent in the third quarter, and the Fed announced in November that it would buy an additional $600 billion in bonds over an eight-month period to support economic recovery by keeping long-term borrowing costs low. Locally, many businesses are coming off a strong Christmas vacation week. And snow earlier this week should boost Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend business. But with gas prices rising and consumer confidence still wavering, business owners are at best cautiously optimistic about the long-term picture.

Thursday, Jan. 13 • Motorists appeared to exercise good judgment by staying off roads during Wednesday’s snowstorm, according to local police, as there were few minor accidents reported — and the snow gods came through for ski areas, delivering 10-plus inches of snow in the days leading up to Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend.

• It seems like the only thing stopping the Kennett High girls’ basketball team these days is the Conway School Board. Board members voted 5-2 Monday night to deny a request by the Eagles (9-0 this season) to donate half of gate receipts — $323 — from their season-opener last month to the Bryson Herlihy Fund for an 19-month-old who is battling a rare form of cancer.

• Despite an effort at the first meeting of the year to ensure enough people would show up to every budget committee meeting have quorum, the committee was one shy on Monday night.

Friday, Jan. 14 • The planning board will not bring a townwide zoning ordinance to voters this year. The decision was made on Wednesday night. The planning board’s draft ordinance received strong opposition from many residents who felt it was too restrictive and vague. “We evaluated the suggestions and realized there was too much to be done to make be viable,” said planning board chairman Dom Bergen.

• While silver-haired residents argued vehemently at recent public hearings about abolishing the planning board and conservation commission, a voice of reason came from an unexpected source — the youngest speaker in the room.

• The proposed Madison school budget is up signifi-

cantly over last year, and the biggest single driver is the number of students tuitioned to Kennett High School, officials said at Wednesday night’s budget hearing.

• If citizens vote down the proposed 2011-12 school budget when they head to the polls in April, it’s going to cost them. The default budget is over $190,000 more than the one school officials are proposing and would be put in place if the regular budget fails.

• Conway School Board has agree to grant the requests of four longtime educators to take early retirement at the end of this school year. The four have over 90 years of combined experience.

Off the Wall Some of the comments posted on The Conway Daily Sun’s Facebook page on the Arizona shooting that left six people dead, including a 9-year-old girl, and 14 wounded, including a U.S. congresswoman.

“It’s absolutely horrible, and especially the part about the little girl that was born on 9/11/01 — born on a tragedy and ended on a tragedy. Poor little girl and family.

It’s all sad.” — Rebecca Bell “It is very sad. Makes me really stop and wonder just what this world and the people in it are coming to?” — April Thompson “Brings thoughts of hateful rhetoric that is spewed in the political debates. I hope that those that are guilty of these acts take time to reflect on their actions and realize that it only takes one nut to act on these thoughts.”

— Nancy Russo “The reporter stood in front of the candlelight vigil and said “behind me has become an all-too-familiar scene.”

That really made me sad.” — Jennifer Andruzzi “This mass murder is a tragedy for all concerned. The left’s attempt to make political capital from the insane acts of a deranged gunman, with zero evidence, is deeply despicable.” — Larry Nash “This 22 year-old outcast is not political, he is insane.

Very sad day for all involved.” Lauren Parker Smith “Very sad for all involved and for our nation. So many are fearful and without hope. They say (I’m not sure who) that “desperate times call for desperate measures.”

I don’t think this kind of action is what “they” were talking about. It is so unfortunate that we have become so polarized over the last 50 years or so. I will participate in the moment of silence today at 11 that the president has called for and send prayers for everyone, including the young man who felt this was the only thing he could do to make a difference. For peace to work, everyone must have it.” — Leona Simon “Time to bring back truth in sentencing, death penalties and automatic euthanizing for anyone who kills, maims or kidnaps anyone who holds political offices, children or police officers. Then you’ll see this madness stop.” — Rae Thompson “Thinks once again this could have been avoided.

He was kicked out of school for being a nut job; he

wasn’t accepted into the Army for some psychological reason. Despite this, of course, he could buy an assault rifle. Now the media is ripping apart the carcass of this story for every last bite of sensationalism, as usual.” — John Ricard “It is hard to make this non-political when it happened during a political event. The only person to blame is the one who pulled the trigger. All this other finger pointing is useless. It won’t bring the dead back to life and it won’t stop this from happening again. We should focus on prevention. Look at all the details and see where it could have been prevented. I am not talking about gun control. Anyone can get a gun. Criminals don’t really care about gun laws. I am talking about how this young person and many more like him slip through the cracks.

We don’t have laws against being insane or mentally disturbed, so what do you propose? Mandatory psyche evaluations before being allowed to roam the streets?

There is no easy solution but we would have to ask ourselves why until we find the answer. We shouldn’t stop at after the first question was answered. There is always at least one why left unanswered, and we need to answer them all.” — Nora Smith-Price “When people are bombarded by statements such as “don’t retreat, reload” or “if we can’t vote them out, then we need to use our second amendment rights,” it encourages a violent mentality. When name-calling and yelling in halls of our state houses and congress become the norm, then we have created an environment ripe for violence.

Yes, this guy was crazy. Who do you think commits these type of acts — sane people? But what fuels the fire of paranoia? Think about what we have become, what we are teaching our children. There used to decorum and respect for our elected officials. Look at the letters to the editor, look at the political ads that were in the paper, to the ads on TV and the radio. Civility must return to our nation, our state, our town.” — Syndi Glod White “Having just moved to Arizona, I can tell you that this incident is all that is on all networks understandably. We are a strong opinionated state that is visibly shaken over these events concerning all that were involved in this senseless act of violence. Keep them in your thoughts and prayers, please.” — Judy Thornton

Insight and Idealism This week Americans will mark the 50th anniversary of the greatest inaugural address of the postWorld War II period: John F. Kennedy’s stirring call to action, sacriďŹ ce and conscience, a speech remembered for his exhortation that Americans “ask not what your country can do for you.â€?

But this is also the week of the 50th anniversary of a remarkable presidential speech of an entirely different sort, Dwight D. Eisenhower’s farewell address to the American people after a half century of service as a military ofďŹ cer and chief executive, a moment remembered for three words that have persisted in the American memory and American debate: “military-industrial complex.â€?

Today that phrase is a commonplace of opprobrium, and those who toss it around often do not know its provenance as the worried reection of one of the nation’s premier military ďŹ gures, a man who led American forces in Europe and North Africa, oversaw the D-Day invasion, served as supreme commander of Allied forces in World War II and later was supreme commander of NATO. “In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted inuence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex,â€? Eisenhower said. “The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. “ Eisenhower’s remarks came as he was stepping away from the presidency in the wake of what seemed a growing Communist threat. Soviet forces had brutally invaded Hungary in 1956, the Russians had placed a satellite, and then a dog, in space in 1957, and tensions had continued to build throughout the period, culminating in the embarrassing downing of an American U-2 spy plane only months before the 1960 election.

It was against this background that Eisenhower noted that for the ďŹ rst time the United States was spending more than the total income of all American corporations on the military. This, the president said, represented an important cultural shift. “This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience,â€? Eisenhower said. “The total inuence — economic, political, even spiritual — is felt in every city, every statehouse, every ofďŹ ce of the federal government. We recognize the imperative need for this development. Yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. Our toil, resources and livelihood are all involved; so is the very structure of our society.â€?

Eisenhower asked Malcolm Moos, a speechwriter recruited from the Johns Hopkins faculty, to draft the speech after Norman Cousins, a ďŹ gure forgotten today but a major intellectual and political force during his 30 years as editor of Saturday Review, suggested a presidential farewell. Cousins had in mind a “great sweeping document,â€? and Moos, a former newspaperman who later became president of the University of Minnesota, took up his challenge, producing a speech on broad themes of American culture and important questions of war and peace.

These issues evidently weighed heavily on Eisenhower as he prepared to step away from public life. He met with Kennedy a day after his farewell, wishing him “Godspeed� in his presidency, and he offered a public critique of the advertisements in American magazines, wondering out loud why they carried so many ads setting out the capacities of the Atlas and Titan rockets, as if, one of his

biographers, Michael Korda, wrote, “they were the only things Americans knew how to make.�

A day later, he met again with the president-elect, telling Kennedy that throughout his presidency “an unobtrusive man� would shadow him with a briefcase carrying the nation’s nuclear codes.

Eisenhower’s farewell and Kennedy’s inaugural address are often regarded as separate set pieces, two discrete events, one the wise reections of an aged statesman, the other the inspiring summons to arms and idealism from a glittery representative of a new generation of leadership — a generation “born in this century,â€? as Kennedy put it at the East Front of the Capitol that cold January morning, “tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage — and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world.â€?

But from the distance of a half century the two speeches challenge our stereotypes and make us question our historical memories, which often paint Eisenhower as the steely pragmatist and Kennedy as the dreamy romantic.

Instead, it was Eisenhower who said he was praying for a world where “in the goodness of time, all peoples will come to live together in a peace guaranteed by the binding force of mutual respect and love,â€? and it was Kennedy who argued that “only when our arms are sufďŹ cient beyond doubt can we be certain beyond doubt that they will never be employed.â€?

Today the two speeches look more like two sides of a fateful argument, one suggesting that the arming of America was out of control and a threat to the domestic purity of the nation, the other suggesting that Americans would “pay any price, bear any burden� in a “long twilight struggle, year in and year out,� to prevail against a monstrous tyranny bent on world domination and posing a mortal threat to the very values of which Eisenhower spoke only a few days earlier.

Some time ago my friend Peter Canellos, the editorial-page editor of The Boston Globe, approached Kennedy speechwriter Theodore Sorensen and noted that perhaps the two most famous speeches of the last 50 years occurred within days of each other. Sorensen, who died in October, lit up, agreeing heartily. He thought Canellos was speaking of Kennedy’s American University address of June 10, 1963, when JFK set out his vision of a world of peace and security, and his remarks a day later on civil rights, when he told Americans they faced “a moral crisis as a country and a people.�

No, Canellos said, he was speaking of Eisenhower’s farewell and Kennedy’s inaugural address.

Sorensen frowned and snapped, “That farewell address wasn’t a great speech at all,� adding, “Oh, it had one memorable line...�

But in truth the two speeches form a set of American bookends, an incomparable pairing: insight from the old paired with idealism from the young.

We could use a little bit of that right now.

Thanks to community for support of dream To the editor: I got back from my trip to Los Angeles Saturday night.

It was one of the best experiences I have ever had. I’m writing to thank not only my wonderful family for their support, but the whole valley.

It was amazing to watch this community come together to support my dreams.

I fl ew out to Los Angeles on Sunday Jan. 2 and right away I entered a frenzy of activity. The energy from everyone at the convention was unlike anything I have ever seen. Its amazing to look back and refl ect on the power of hope and dedication. Agents were everywhere. All the “talent” had to be on their best behavior at all times because if you were lucky, an agent might join you in the elevator!

Over the course of the week I performed many tasks pertaining to acting and singing. Each hour groups of kids were put into a room to perform monologues, commercials, and scenes in front of casting directors, managers, and agents. It was a surreal experience to have so much opportunity sitting four feet away from you. Mid-week I had the event which I had been waiting for, a chance to sing in front of industry professionals from across the country. Singing has always

been and will always be my first love, and getting the chance to sing on a stage that size was unlike anything I have ever done.

The end result was more than I could have ever wanted. I am now being represented by a wonderful manager in New York, and working with a producer at a recording studio in Los Angeles, where I will be recording my original songs. Overall, the trip was a fl ood of emotions and surprises that will hopefully play a joyous part in my future. The friends I made while working on this six month project were great and I hope to keep building my career with them in the future!

I am still amazed at the amount of support from the community that I received.

I am truly humbled and feel extremely blessed. I would like to also give a special thanks to Mark Phaneuf, Jack and Anne Corbin, Mary Bastoni-Rebman, John and Paula Stratton, Frye’s Store, The Shannon Door Pub and the Mulkern Family, The Cut Off Salon, Ned Sullivan and everyone else who purchased my Holiday CD and made contributions towards what I hope will be the start of a great future.

Yankees sign Soriano for bullpen help NEY YORK (NY Times) — Snubbed by Cliff Lee and discouraged by the lack of attractive available starters, the Yankees improved their pitching staff Thursday night by working backward. They strengthened their bullpen by agreeing to a threeyear, $35 million contract with Rafael Soriano, whose 45 saves for the Tampa Bay Rays last season led the American League.

As soon as he passes his physical exam, the Yankees can begin dreaming in earnest about Soriano’s teaming with closer Mariano Rivera to form perhaps the most imposing late-inning tandem in baseball.

The Yankees expect Soriano’s presence to alleviate the pressure on a rotation fraught with uncertainty beyond C. C. Sabathia and Phil Hughes. His arrival evokes the blueprint from the championship season of 1996, when Rivera and John Wetteland locked down the final innings.

Tyler Bettencourt, 10, of Conway, has become a halftime hit at Kennett High basketball games this winter. The enthusiastic young man is quite the dancing machine and a fan favorite. He shares his spirit with everyone.

At some point, Rivera, 41, will retire, and in Soriano the Yankees have at once an heir and insurance — expensive for a setup man — in case Rivera gets hurt.

According to a baseball offi cial with knowledge of the deal, the contract contains opt-out clauses after each of the fi rst two seasons. If Soriano fulfi lls the terms, he will make $10 million in 2011, $11 million in 2012 and $14 million in 2013. If he opts out after this season, Soriano stands to receive $11.5 million, and $21.5 million if he does so after 2012, when Rivera’s two-year deal expires.

By then, the Yankees will know whether Soriano, 31, can handle the pressure of pitching in New York and if he is the choice to succeed Rivera.

For now, he is the unanticipated centerpiece of the Yankees’ off-season haul after Lee turned down a guaranteed $148 million.

Dogs rescued from a Texas shelter where they faced euthanization arrive at Eastern Slopes Regional Airport in Fryeburg. (COURTESY PHOTO)

Rescued dogs airlifted from Texas seek homes in valley

BY ERIC EISELE

THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — A plane full of fourlegged Texans caught a lifesaving lift to the Northeast last weekend, and now they are awaiting a chance to find homes in New Hampshire.

Volunteers from Animal Rescue League of New Hampshire–North were waiting on the Eastern Slope Regional Airport runway in Fryeburg at 10:30 p.m. on Sunday, when Cloud Nine Rescue Flights pilot Ted DuPuis taxied up, his fuselage full of dogs.

The volunteers took the dogs out of the plane and loaded them into carriers in vans, and then drove them to the shelter in Conway.

Now the 22 dogs, all under 40 pounds (to get as many in the plane as possible), are waiting for their 10-day quarantine period to end so they can fi nd families in the Mount Washington Valley.

“We’re trying to save perfectly good dogs in Texas from being euthanized,” said Andrew Orsini, an ARL– North board member. “We don’t put animals down to make room for the next wave. They bring an animal in and the clock starts to tick.”

The dogs came from the Montgomery County Animal Shelter, which struggles to keep pace with all the animals that come in. ”Where we live, the spay and neuter compliance is not very good,” said Marcia Piotter, of Operation Pets Alive, the group ARL–North partnered with to save the dogs. “A lot of animals come into our shelters.”

“When they get full they don’t take anymore,” said Tiffany BarrowRogers, managing director at ARL– North, and they start putting dogs to sleep to make room. “We will keep them here until they fi nd their forever home.” ”It’s very defi nitely a MasonDixon line issue,” Orsini said. “We’ve helped out other groups in the South.”ARL–North has taken dogs from Kentucky, South Carolina and Louisiana, according to director Virginia Moore.

“Early on we’d meet people in Pennsylvania” collecting strays from Katrina–ravaged New Orleans, she said.

This was the shelter’s fi rst canine airlift, however.

“We’re trying to move animals to the Northeast where they’re sought after,” Piotter said.”Initially we

were looking at (driving),” she said, but the effort it takes to drive dogs out of the South makes it tough.

Texas has only one “no kill” shelter. “When we learned about fl ight, it made all the difference.”This was the fi rst transport for Operation Pets Alive, which is still a young organization, but it’s not likely the last.”We’re hoping we can build a long-term relationship,” Orsini said. ”At any one time there’s at least 180 dogs in the adoption rooms” in the Montgomery County shelter, Piotter said, plus about 120 strays. “And that’s not even including the cats.”

That’s compared to about 30 dogs at ARL–North, according to BarrowRogers.”We have room today to take in community animals,” even with the new arrivals, Barrow-Rogers said.

And beyond just saving the lives of the Texans, she said, “transports bring people in.” People come in thinking they want a puppy and they wind up taking home an older dog that’s been there for weeks. “It helps everybody in the shelter.”

The dogs are in quarantine until Jan. 20, but then they’ll be available for new homes.

Biathlon racer Sean Doherty takes aim at World Juniors Young biathlon racer to compete in Czech Republic, Jan. 29-Feb. 5

BY TOM EASTMAN THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — Longtime former Kennett High ski coach Chuck Broomhall says that 15-year-old Sean Doherty is "the spitting image" of three-time Mount Washington cross-country skiing Olympian Carl Swenson at the same age and believes that "the sky is the limit for Sean" in the sport.

In addition to racing cross-country for Kennett High, as Swenson did, the wiry, 5-foot-10, 150-pound skiing sensation is making his mark as a young biathlon competitor. He will soon be taking his skiing and sharp-shooting biathlon skills overseas, as he was recently named by the U.S. Biathlon Association to the Youth Men squad to represent the USA at the International Biathlon UnionYouth/Junior World Biathlon Championships at Nove Mesto in the Czech Republic, Jan. 29-Feb. 5.

To be held in the heart of the Bohemian Moravian Highlands, the youth and junior events will serve as a preview of the IBU

••• Along with ski touring centers such as Great Glen Trails, Doherty and his dad credited the Eastern Slope Ski Club and the Mount Washington Valley Nordic Club for their support of young Doherty's skiing development.

"They've been great to us," said Dan, a climbing guide and active ski touring athlete who along with his wife have constituted young Doherty's driving team to the training center in Vermont.

It's the only training site in the region, as Bretton Woods and the N.H. National Guard in the mid1990s did away with their site — a facility at which local former U.S. Biathlon B team member Nat Lucy competed in the early 1980s.

"You do what you have to do," says Dan Doherty. "The thing is, Sean is very committed to what he is doing.

And, he loves it. You see that just by watching him when he races."

"I do love competing, all of it," laughs Sean, now in his fourth year of racing biathlon. "I enjoy high school racing, skate skiing and classical, but I really like all that's involved with biathlon: the skiing, the shooting, the goal to be consistent at all that you do on the course."

The Dohertys note that Lucy, now owner of Lucy Hardware in Intervale, has been very supportive of young Sean's efforts, as has Lucy's former coach, former Kennett High cross-country coach Doug Armstrong, founder of Mount Washington Valley Nordic.

The Dohertys credited former Kennett High coach Chuck Broomhall for allowing Sean to develop.

"I started out alpine racing when I was young with the [ESSC's] Junior Program. Then, Chuck [Broomhall] let me ski some middle school races when I was in the 6th grade.

By the time I was in the 7th grade, he'd throw me into some high school races at Whitaker Woods, just to get the experience. Chuck was great that way," said Doherty, who also says he was guided by middle school coach Emily Eastman.

In summer, Sean and his dad go to the Vermont National Guard training site in Jericho quite often.

"They have paved trails there; no cars, so it's really great skiers' terrain," says Dan. Sean also trains summers on Passaconaway Road, using roller skis both in Vermont and here in the valley.

"It's all about fi tness. Coach Shaina says if you're working hard, you can't relax; and if you can't relax, you can't shoot."

He is intrigued by biathlon because it is a sport that rewards experience: the older you get, the better you get as you learn strategies and condition your body.

"Biathlon interested me for the added challenge it offers," says Sean.

"It's a completely different aspect: You're skiing with a rifl e on your back, and then you come in to the range and shoot."

Is it easier now to compete in high school races, skiing without a rifle on his back?

"Yeah," laughs Sean, "regular skiing does seem more simple now.

The whole marksmanship thing [with biathlon racing] is so complicated, but with regular skiing, you don't have to worry about it. You just ski!"

When Nat Lucy competed in the early 1980s, skate skiing was not yet part of the sport; now all biathlons

use that format.

Sean Doherty skate skis in his biathlon races, but is equally adept at classic and skate skiing for his high school races.

"I like them both. Thank you for asking!" he laughingly said during the interview at the lobby of the Eastern Slope Inn. Whether it's skate skiing or classic, it's all fun for the enthusiastic youngster.

"I just like the smell of the snow and the crispness of the air; I love skiing," he said. &bull; &bull; &bull; Will it all lead to a future Olympics? It will be fun for all to watch as we wait and see over the years.

As Max Cobb, U.S. Biathlon CEO, said following the selection of the Youth and Junior teams that are to compete at the Worlds this month: "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."

In the meantime, look for Sean Doherty to continue to scorch the field at Kennett with fellow sophomore sensation Hannah Benson and the rest of the boys and girls. The team's next home meet is scheduled for Whitaker Woods Jan. 26 (conditions permitting). Look for Sean — without his rifle, of course.

Clinton Guptill 3/1/1939 – 1/17/2009

Dad, I found an old sweatshirt of yours.

I found myself hugging it and realized your scent was gone everywhere except the collar. My heart sank, because that silly smell on that shirt, even for only a moment was the one thing that brought you back to me. My head tried to wrap around the fact you’ve been gone 2 years.

While my heart silently begged the shirt to let you stay with me for a little longer - I Love and miss you, your little pumpkin!

Biathlon racing combines cross-country skiing and rifle target shooting

BY TOM EASTMAN THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

The sport of biathlon began, as the story goes, more than a century ago as a training exercise for Norwegian soldiers, which goes a long way toward explaining how cross-country skiing and rifl ery met. The result is the biathlon, the only sport that involves ski wax and bullets.

According to Wikipedia, biathlon competition consists of a race in which contestants skate ski around a crosscountry track, and where the total distance is broken up by either two or four shooting rounds, half in prone position, the other half standing. Depending on the shooting performance, extra distance or time is added to the contestant's total running distance/time. As in most races, the contestant with the shortest total time wins.

For each shooting round, the biathlete must hit five targets; each missed target must be "atoned for" in one of three ways, depending on the competition format: • By skiing around a 150-metre penalty loop, typically taking 20 to 30 seconds for top-level biathletes to complete.

• By having one minute added to a skier’s total time.

• By having to use an “extra cartridge” (placed at the shooting range) to fi nish off the target; only three such “extras” are available for each round, and a penalty loop must be made for each of the targets left standing.

In order to keep track of the contestants’ progress and relative standing throughout a race, split times (intermediate times) are taken at several points along the skiing track and upon finishing each shooting round.

The large display screens commonly set up at biathlon arenas, as well as the information graphics shown as part of the TV picture, will typically list the split time of the fastest contestant at each intermediate point and the times and time differences to the closest runners-up.

Be a powderhound One of the great local ski school directors in the 1980s used to explain how to ski in deep powder this way: "go straight down the hill and pole a lot."

Simple and effective.

When the northeast is blessed to receive dry, western-like powder snow, you want your skills to be up to the task. Here’s three tips that will make a powder day great.

1. Make sure your skis are waxed and scraped.

Nothing is better than your skis silently moving through deep powder. Nothing is worse than big clumps of new snow sticking to the dry bottoms of your skis. Make waxing your skis a routine, regular chore, and you’ll always be ready for powder days.

2. Point those skis down the hill. Most powder days your skis will run much slower than they do on groomed corduroy, so there’s no need to worry about speed control.

Each turn is more a veer-a bit to the left-a bit to the right but mostly keep em going down the hill.

3. Use those poles and don’t be bashful. Bring that pole forward in the direction you plan to go next, and let that pole swing draw your body where it needs to go next. Powder skiing is a whole body experience, and big strong pole movements make everything work better.

Remember, that on powder days you don’t have that solid platform of hard snow under your feet and that is okay. It feels more like jumping in one of those inflatable bouncy houses at a fair when you’ve got it going just right.

Remember, the best advice of all — take a lesson or attend a race clinic. You’ll have a great time and improve your time. Try it.

up, I stepped across the trail to a fl at ledge (on the way back down, I had to reverse the move, and dropped down to the trail). Most of the other ledges, however, had snow in corners that you could climb up fairly easily.

Nearing the top of the ridge, the great outlooks began. First came the unobstructed view of the nearby south ledge. Then the view north opened up, looking across the deep ravine called the Bowl Natural Area to a saddle between Mount Whiteface and Mount Passaconaway, with a white Mount see next page

The ridge leveled and dropped slightly, and nearby through the trees, I saw the big ledge on the south side of the summit of Mount Whiteface. It was the ledge that people can see from the valley below, giving the mountain its unique character. I hoped to get a closer, unobstructed view of it before getting to the summit, and wasn’t disappointed.

The series of steep ledges on the trail began, and were fun to get up. At the bottom of one, there was no friction available on powder snow covered rock.

Washington in the distance. The dark, triangular summit cone of Mount Passaconaway, striking from the valley, was doubly so from there.

The views ceased as the trail headed the fi nal stretch upwards to the junction with the Rollins Trail near the top.

I didn’t go to the actual summit, which was an unmarked knob in the woods, 0.3 miles further north on the Rollins Trail. Instead I turned left, and walked out to the sunny top of the south ledge and sat to eat lunch in the mild air.

The visibility was prodigal. I saw the triangular cone of Mount Monadnock in the southern part of the state, to the left and south of Mount Kearsarge South in Warner. I looked below through the clear air to the fl at Whiteface Intervale. The last time I had been to this spot, was after hiking up the wild McCrillis Trail.

I had parked down in the Whiteface Intervale to access that trail.

Another trail that started down there, also named for the early inn keepers and trail builders of the intervale, was called the McCrillis Path, a fl at trail that connected Whiteface Intervale to Ferncroft. A landowner problem had closed that trail for a number of years.

But in the near future, a bypass trail will be built around the unhappy landowner’s land, and it will reopen. That will make a great 12 mile loop hike possible — up Mount Whiteface from Ferncroft on the Blueberry Ledge Trail, down the McCrillis Trail and back to Ferncroft on the McCrillis Path.

I headed back down the trail, again

having fun on the ledges. In 0.7 miles, I turned left down the Tom Wiggin Trail. This 1.1 mile trail, built in 1895, drops directly down into the Bowl Natural Area.

Descending this narrow trail is tedious in the summer because of loose gravel. But in winter, the only caution I needed to take was being careful on water ice, and using my MICROspikes wisely. They have small spikes, and if not placed perfectly fl at, can slide off the ice easily. Large ice fl ows needed to be avoided altogether, and I scrambled around a few on the way down.

But soon I reached the bottom of the bowl, and Wonolancet Brook.

Crossing it, I would soon connect with the Dicey’s Mill Trail. But fi rst I wanted to bushwhack upstream a short way into the virgin forest and share a moment with the elders. These included birch, hemlock and spruce.

The evergreens tended to be next to the stream, the birch on higher land.

The stream split, and I walked up on the land between the two channels. I came across a craggy old birch.

Another towering old birch had a large branch broken off near its top.

Then I turned east, and on the stream bank looked up. Here and there amongst smaller hardwoods, the dark tops of old spruce towered 50 feet up.

I walked towards one, and decided to put my arms around its wide trunk as far as possible, in appreciation of the life that it was lucky to be living in the midst of human history.

I crossed the stream, soon hit the Dicey’s Mill Trail, and headed down the trail, reaching the Ferncroft Road in two miles.

Country Ecology: Cardinal A female cardinal shows up at the bird feeding station during most daytimes, and I always know she will be joined by her male shortly. It takes a while, but in the morning I look out to see his spectacular red form waiting in the hemlocks. This brilliantly attired male is a joy to attract to any bird feeder, and deeply desired as a guest. Many chickadees and titmice also flee into this planted row of conifers to devour their sunfl ower seed kernels.

Cardinals are very popular backyard birds, and it’s our shrubbery that gets them by. These colorful birds used to be found only in the Deep South, as they thrived in plantation settings there. Our "tallish" landscaping up here of over six feet benefits them, and makes them a village or New England town square species more than that of deep woods. I like to say "out-of-control" landscaping-that has grown up way too much for our personal liking--is what helps them out the most. Seeds and fruits are produced in these hedgerows at the edge of property lines, and this is also where the cardinal pair likes to nest.

Typical habitats are thickets and brushy areas, edges and clearings,

riparian woodlands, parks, and residential areas. Here the nonmigratory cardinals feed on a variety of foods including seeds, leaf buds, fl owers, berries, and fruit. Up to one-third of its summer diet can be insects. Its winter diet is 90 percent vegetable matter, especially large seeds. It has to obtain them from the ground or off bushes that are still carrying their seeds. As the cardinals are year-round birds, with small territories, they need your sunflower seed to live here. This is one species that defi nitely counts on your well-stocked feeders, so keep them filled with your favorite mixes.

The common and familiar Northern cardinal is a bird whose range has expanded northward in the last 100 years. Originally a bird species of the Southeast, the Northern cardinal’s range expanded north and northwest along the Mississippi River and its tributaries. In 1886 the cardinal was found only occasionally north of the Ohio River. By 1895 it had reached the Great Lakes, and by 1910, it was found in southern Ontario. When I was a child in Maryland, seeing a Christmas card with a lovely cardinal in a snow-covered wreath was picturesque, but not realistic weather-wise. see COUNTRY ECOLOGY page 24

East Coast Snocross Series returns to Ossipee Jan. 15-16 OSSIPEE — Teams and offi cials from East Coast Snocross are heading for Ossipee, Saturday and Sunday, Jan. 15-16, for Round 3 on the nine-race East Coast Snocross 2010-2011 schedule.

Spectator gates open at 10 a.m. each day, with racing getting under way at 11 a.m. Admission is $15 per day for adults, while children age 7 and under will be admitted free with a paying adult. Pit passes valid through the weekend will be available for an extra $10.

East Coast Snocross is the new sanctioning body for snowmobile racing in the northeastern United States. East Coast Snocross maintains a regional circuit throughout the northeast. Ossipee has been a stop on that circuit for several years.

The former circuit ran snocross events at the old Mt. Whittier ski area, and fans turned out in big numbers. The sleds and stars of East Coast Snocross will compete just off Route 16 on land behind the Fire Station.

This weekend of snocross competition and freestyle is sponsored by the Greater Ossipee Area Chamber of Commerce; Samantha’s Inn, the Yankee Smokehouse and the Ossipee Valley Snowmobile Club.

To learn more about the event visit www.ossipeevalley.org. The event attracts top professional, semiprofessional and amateur riders, with plenty of competitive snocross racing in the pro, semi-pro, sport, women and junior divisions, as well as three gravity-defying freestyle shows by the Maine-based Rave-X Outer Limits Freestyle Tour.

The boys at Rave-X are bringing their group of skilled athletes to thrill fans with two shows on Saturday, and they’ll hit the ramp once again on Sunday. The tricks and stunts thrown down by the folks from Rave-X will have Ossipee fans talking all winter.

The Ossipee area provides plenty of options for snowmobile enthusiasts. In winter, they can ride through White Lake State Park and across the Ossipee Mountains onto a wide network of groomed trails. The Ossipee Valley Snowmobile Club maintains trails in the Ossipee, Tamworth, Wonalancet, Conway (Corridor 19) and Whiteface Intervale areas of New Hampshire. The trail system travels across Route 16 from White Lake State Park (at Canoe King) to the North and South on Corridor 19.

COUNTRY ECOLOGY from page 22

Its appearance in New England is fairly recent, mostly in the latter half of this century.

In the 1800s, cardinals were muchsought-after cage birds — highly valued for their carmine red color and song. Thousands were trapped in the south in the winter and sent to northern markets, and thousands more were sent to Europe. This trade ceased, fortunately, with the passage of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918. I have read that this caused great sadness for southerners, as it was common practice to have a pet pair of cardinals contained in a wooden bird cage, and listening to their singing year-round in the house! Almost a feature of southern domestic living. I personally cannot stand their call, as it sounds more like a car door alarm system to my ears, and I don’t need this suburban intrusion in my life either.

The female Northern cardinal sings, often from the nest. The song may give the male information about when to bring food to the nest. A mated pair shares song phrases, but the female may sing a longer and slightly more complex song than the male. The pairs work very well together in supplying food for the nestlings, and the female can count on the male being a very good father. He has demonstrated he can feed her before their reproductive period begins, and I

think this courtship humorous.

Whenever you sight the pair coming to your bird feeder in the early spring months, look for his beginning to occasionally feed her sunflower seeds. While this seems completely chivalrous on his part, it proceeds to extreme measures.

She will appear more and more pathetic, as if she cannot feed herself anymore without this provision. She will not only appear humble and grateful, but completely submissive seemingly without any "ability" to feed herself at some point! By the time the snows have melted, and these two have finished this weird courtship, the male will have aptly shown he can take care of her sustenance needs while she is incubating their eggs.

In this way, the female cardinal can have complete faith he will tend to her hunger and that of her nestlings as a necessary feat. The male parent will also take good care of the fledglings later for a few weeks, allowing her to successfully start a second brood. This is another factor why cardinals have spread so far, so fast.

Shredding with Becca

Becca Deschenes

In support of shredder Danny Toumarkine CONWAY — It’s crazy that something you love so much can also change your life completely.

A few weeks ago, a friend and local pro rider/co-founder of Shreddy Times, Danny Toumarkine, suffered a traumatic brain injury while riding out in Montana that has left him in the ICU since.

Hearing that one of your friends was seriously injured doing something that they absolutely love is surreal. Up until recently, I have been lucky enough to say that I’ve never experienced this personally. I’ve always heard of such stories and always wanted to believe that it would never happen to me or anyone that I’ve known.

That is why this article is dedicated to Danny.

It’s amazing to see how people from all over can come together to show their love and support

for someone that they might not even know personally. It’s especially a heartfelt feeling to see the valley come together to help one of their own.

A website (www.dannyisthebomb.com) has been created for people to share their memories and supporting words of encouragement for Danny. If you haven’t checked it out yet, head over to a computer and type it in the address bar now— you’ll fi nd updates on his condition from his family and closest friends, and an overwhelming amount of posts from people sharing their favorite memories and words of encouragement. Get shredder Danny!

••• SAFETY TIPS: Though these accidents are not completely avoidable, there are things that can help prevent the chance of being serious injured in a ski/

snowboard accident.

The most important is wearing a helmet whenever you’re on the hill- even if you’re just taking an easy run down.

Crashes, whether it be on natural objects such as ice, rocks, hard snow, trees, or unnatural surfaces such as in terrain parks, can cause serious head injuries, even at low speeds.

Regardless of your ability, it’s essential to make a helmet part of your riding wardrobe. I’ve grown up skiing and riding and have always worn a helmet, but have caught myself on numerous occasions saying "oh, it’s just one run, nothing will happen" and go down without.

Now I will never go without, and have seen a majority of other locals in the valley who have heard about the accident and who never used to wear a helmet, now sporting a new headpiece.

"The Vertical Challenge attracts the amateurs, families and kids that have never raced before," said Tansey. "We try to encourage them to take a chance and see what it's like. Once they do that, they get bitten by the bug and they go back and join their mountain race team."

He says most events attract between 300 and 500 racers with about 2,000 at the finals.

King Pine pass holder April Morrill from Amesbury, Mass. has been racing in the Challenge with her three children now aged 28, 17 and 14 since they were kids. One son, Corey, qualifi ed for the finals one year and placed third. Though she says she isn't a very good skier, she manages to get through the gates.

"I was fi fth last year," she said.

"The fi rst year I did this I didn't even know how to get out of the starting gate. I snow plowed around every gate but I got down."

Tansey says there are families that plan their winter of skiing around tour dates.

"We now have three genera-

tions that are following us from time to time," Tansey said.

Little Carter Tasker, of Chocorua, was racing the Challenge for his first time. His dad, Trevor a KP chef, skis in a couple of recreational race leagues (Pioneer and Mountain Meisters) and thought a low-key event would be a good fit for his four-year-old.

"Whenever he sees a race course he gets excited," said dad.

"I asked him if he wanted to do it and he did. I think he is going to be one proud guy and there is a sense of pride seeing him do it."

Over time, Tansey has seen the pendulum swing from heavilyskewed entrants from skiers to snowboarders. Now, he says, it's going back to skiing with many youngsters on twin-tipped skis.

"The cool thing is you see a lot of kids wearing helmets which they had not done in the past," he said.

Plus, kids start out being taught by their parents at say age 7, and then at age 18, they're beating mom and dad down the hill for family bragging rights.

Snowboarder Jim Curran of Madison was competing for the sixth year alongside his son, 12, and daughter,

10. A King Pine Snowboard Team dad, he says the Challenge is a fun run for any age or ability. The snowboarding family has also gone to other mountains like Black and Loon for the competition.

"There's a different feel at the other mountains," he said. "You get a chance to appreciate the different mountains."

Says Tansey, "Our hopes are that at some point in time one of these kids will be an Olympic medalist."

••• The North Conway Public Library is pleased to announce Jeff Foltz will be discussing his newly released book, "Birkebeiner, A Story of Motherhood and War," at the Weather Discovery Center on Main Street North Conway on Thursday, Jan. 20 at 7 p.m..

DILBERT

by Darby Conley

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You will be fi lled with fresh courage and the heart to take on a task you have already failed at several times before.

Your brave tenacity will win in the end.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Though in many ways you do fi t in with your current environment, there are still times when you feel out of place. So carve out your own niche. Create an environment around yourself in which you will be totally accepted.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19 ).

There are two ways in which you will stand apart from the crowd. First, in the midst of all the activity, you will remain still. Secondly, when others are lost in the dark, you will be quick and bright.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Making friends is not about having the most interesting thing to say. It’s about making others feel more interesting because you give them your full attention.

PISCES (Feb. 19 -March 20). Just because a person has power does not mean that he or she has greatness. You are keenly aware of your leaders and will come to understand their character as you continue to observe.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 15).

Change is in the air. You like not knowing precisely what the year will bring, though you have an inkling it’s going to be good! You’ll be proud of how you are able to help your family this month.

February brings a symbol of affection that you will cherish for years to come.

Professional gains are made in May. Aquarius and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 14, 39, 20 and 46.

Get Fuzzy

HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19). It’s the perfect day for creating accountability and collecting data. Determine which records and stats need to be kept, and set up an organized system for doing so.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Life is simpler when you follow the protocol.

The honor you give to your elders will be silently appreciated and noted. The respect you give will come back to you in time.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Why waste time worrying about what will probably never happen? By doing only what feels fun, easy and right to you, you will free your mind of heavy and unpleasant thoughts.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). The 30th president of the United States was your sign mate, and he said, “Nothing is more common than an unsuccessful man with talent. ... Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.”

-- Calvin Coolidge LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Circumstances will cause you to examine the character of those around you. If you feel confi dent that a person is honest, has integrity and will be loyal, that person will make the cut.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll give yourself plenty to do because you have discovered an important secret: Idleness is boring if you have too much of it. You will only appreciate the leisure you fight for, sweat for or steal.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Sometimes the worst horse wins the gold cup. You’ll witness such an unlikely occurrence today, which will simultaneously restore and rock your faith.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Jan. 15, 1961, a U.S. Air Force radar tower off the New Jersey coast collapsed into the Atlantic Ocean during a severe storm, killing all 28 men aboard. (The structure was known as “Texas Tower 4” because of its resemblance to an oil platform.)

On this date: In 1559, England’s Queen Elizabeth I was crowned in Westminster Abbey.

In 1777, the people of New Connecticut declared their independence. (The tiny republic later became the state of Vermont.)

In 1844, the University of Notre Dame received its charter from the state of Indiana.

In 1929, civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. was born in Atlanta.

In 1943, work was completed on the Pentagon, headquarters of the U.S. Department of War (now Defense).

In 1947, the mutilated remains of 22-yearold Elizabeth Short, who came to be known as the “Black Dahlia,” were found in a vacant Los Angeles lot; her slaying remains unsolved.

In 1967, the Green Bay Packers of the National Football League defeated the Kansas City Chiefs of the American Football League 35-10 in the first AFL-NFL World Championship Game, retroactively known as Super Bowl I. In 1971, the recently completed Aswan High Dam in Egypt was dedicated during a ceremony attended by President Anwar Sadat and Soviet President Nikolai Podgorny.

In 1981, the police drama series “Hill Street Blues” premiered on NBC. In 2009, US Airways Capt. Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger ditched his Airbus 320 in the Hudson River after a flock of birds disabled both the plane’s engines; all 155 people aboard survived.

One year ago: United Nations humanitarian chief John Holmes appealed for more than $560 million to help three million victims of the earthquake in Haiti, calling it “a huge and a horrifying catastrophe.” Washington Wizards star Gilbert Arenas pleaded guilty to carrying a pistol without a license in the District of Columbia, a felony. (Arenas was sentenced to a month in a halfway house and suspended until the end of the season by the NBA.) Today’s Birthdays: Actress Margaret O’Brien is 74. Actress Andrea Martin is 64.

Actor-director Mario Van Peebles is 54. Actor James Nesbitt is 46. Singer Lisa Lisa (Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam) is 44. Actor Chad Lowe is 43. Alt-country singer Will Oldham (aka “Bonnie Prince Billy”) is 41. Actress Regina King is 40. Actor Eddie Cahill is 33. Rapper/ reggaeton artist Pitbull is 30.

Help Wanted

by Abigail Van Buren

TEEN MOM HIDES FULL STORY FROM HER INFURIATED MOTHER

DEAR ABBY: I am a 17-year-old mother. I am afraid to tell my mom that I have been speaking to my son’s father, “Jeremy,” who is also 17. She doesn’t like him because when she found out I was pregnant, my best friend told her about the abuse I suffered from Jeremy.

Mom is scared he will abuse my son, and, being a teen, he will up and leave me when he finds the right person to be with. He has missed a year of the baby’s life and so has his family.

Jeremy’s parents want to meet their grandson. It’s diffi cult to talk to Mom because of the way she feels about the family. She thinks they haven’t tried to see my son, but in reality they’re leaving it up to me to set up. How can I get my mom to be less angry about the situation? -- TEEN MOM IN GRAND RAPIDS DEAR TEEN MOM: You may be only 17, but because you are now a mother you are going to have to grow up -- fast.

Your mother has your best interests at heart, and also her grandchild’s. You didn’t say whether Jeremy was physically or emotionally abusive, but both are bad. And those are habits he may have learned from his parents. If he dropped out of your life for an entire year, the odds are high that he’ll disappear again. So don’t count on him for anything.

I am urging you to be completely honest with your mother. Sneaking around is childish. TELL her that the reason Jeremy’s parents haven’t seen the baby is they left it up to you to arrange, and you were afraid to tell her. It’s honest and better than letting them take the rap for your unwillingness to speak up. It may make her less angry about the situation and more willing to compromise.

DEAR ABBY: I recently became engaged to a man I have been with for six years. We’re planning a wedding this year.

I lost my dad six years ago. My stepmom has been in my life since I was 3. (I am now 33.) When I asked her if she would be willing to contribute to the wedding in place of Dad, she refused! According to her, Dad did not discuss this with her prior to his death.

What is proper protocol here? Was I out of line to ask if she’d be willing to contribute? I feel like the odd child out because my dad and stepmom contributed to my sister’s wedding. Considering how long she has been in my life, this was a shock to me. What do you think, Abby? -- FEELING ABANDONED IN MONTANA DEAR FEELING ABANDONED: Many people have the mistaken impression that a bride’s parents are required to pay for or contribute to her wedding. It’s not true. A wedding is a gift, and while it would have been nice of your stepmother to have agreed to give you money for yours, no rule of protocol dictates that she had to.

At 33, you and your fi ance should be able to fi nance your own wedding -- and that’s what you should do, without feeling abandoned. Many couples these days do exactly that.

DEAR ABBY: My former boss told me that my numerous suggestions, voluminous descriptions for systems improvements, suggestions for work outside the offi ce, extra reports and documentation, large number of phone calls and multitudinous e-mails came across as intractable, intolerant and superfluous. Could he have been right? -- T.K. IN RALEIGH, N.C. DEAR T.K.: In a word: yes.

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

Hearing on proposed zoning amendments set for Jan. 17 Starting Jan. 19 and running until the 28th you can register to run for any of the following seats for this year’s elections: moderator for a one year term, one selectmen’s seat for two years, one selectmen’s seat for 3 years, one three-year term for trustee of trust funds, there are two two-year terms for library trustee, two two-year terms for budget committee, two two-year terms for planning board member, two three-year terms on the ZBA and a one-year and a two-year term for cemetery trustee. Registration takes place at the town clerk’s offi ce: Hours are Tuesday and Thursday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Saturday 8 a.m. to noon; and Friday, Jan. 28 from 3 to 5 p.m.

The budget committee is getting close to setting a date for the public hearing on this year’s proposed budget. Attendance at almost all of their work sessions has shown a group with a core number of members taking very seriously their duties.

At $1,316,000 this year’s appropriations for Effi ngham’s municipal budget is somewhat over $20,000 less than last year. Of course the school portion, both local and state, and the county portion of the budget have increased. The date for the public hearing will be announced when it is set.

A very important date: Jan. 17 is the planning board public hearing on proposed amendments, open to the public with required period of public comment.

The meeting starts at 7 p.m. at the municipal offi ce. Copies of all the proposed amendments are now at the Municipal Offi ces. Both amendments (1 and 2) concerning wetlands and ground waters should be of particular interest to residents of Effingham.

This meeting will be your one chance to ask questions of the planning board concerning the purpose, effects and implications of these two amendments prior to their being placed on the ballot.

The Effi ngham Historical Society will be hosting local resident and speaker Mr. Al Levesque for his talk on the Colby family homestead in Amesbury Mass. The house was erected prior to 1654 and is still standing as a museum in that town.

Mr. Levesque has ties to the Colby family. The meeting and talk will take place Jan. 21, at 7:30 p.m. at the Historical Society’s building at the end of Old Pound Road.

The master plan committee will meet on Wednesday, Jan. 26 at 6 p.m. in the municipal building. see EFFINGHAM page 38

Social Inclusion:

Addressing Isolation, Teasing, and Bullying Kim’s approach to this subject is unique. He acknowledges that conflict is a natural part of growing up and thus rather than avoiding conflict, children must learn how to deal appropriately and effectively with it. Kim discusses how the traditional punishment approach is unsuccessful and conversely how strengthening relationships helps to change awareness and understanding in order to bring about real change.

A consultant and trainer to over 110 North American independent and public schools, Kim John Payne, M.Ed, has been a school counselor, adult educator, consultant, researcher and educator for nearly thirty years, and a private family counselor for more than fifteen years.

James K. Sarson, Jr. 1969 – 2010 Have you ever lost a child, Who meant the world to you?

A son you loved so very much, And miss him as I do?

If you’ve never known the feeling, I pray you never do, For when you lose a child, You also lose a part of you.

Falling tears and heartache are the things I have to bear, But losing him the way I did will always seem unfair.

Love, Mom, Michelle, Sam

Selectmen discuss ways to reduce energy use at Albany town hall The town offices will be closed Jan. 17 in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. All three selectmen were present at the selectmen’s meeting Jan. 5, along with two other people, Daymond Steer and Colleen Cormack.

Daymond Steer was there for information on the Local Law Enforcement Forum that was held on Jan. 11 at the town hall. We hope it was well attended.

Colleen Cormack suggested that the town create a Facebook page where offi ce closings, activities, elections and like functions could be posted. It was decided to have Colleen set up the Facebook page.

The selectmen were asked to give their position on the Sunday closing of the transfer station in Conway.

The selectmen will advise the Conway selectmen that Albany prefers the station be closed on another day.

They consider Tuesdays as a better day. People who work spend Saturday cleaning and disposing of their trash on Sunday.

Anyone from Albany with a different opinion can contact the town offi ce by e-mail at contact@ albanynh.org.

There was a discussion on the energy used at the town hall. A suggestion’s list was made. One suggestion is to build a vestibule at the entrance, another is to replace or unplug the refrigerator, except when in use, and to replace the stoves in the town hall kitchen.

Sara Young-Knox informed the board of the replacement of the guardrails over Dry Brook has been done and looks beautiful.

Elaine and Richard Wales had all their family for Christmas.

Frank and his wife, Jackie, were here from Florida for the holidays. Rick and Clair and their two sons Mat and Nick were with them for Christmas also.

Nick was home from California. Elaine’s sister, Louise, and daughter, Jeanne were up from Florida and visited. Frank and Jackie had to stay another day be cause their flight to Florida got canceled so they rented a car and drove home.

There will be a hearthside dinner that they call "Roots of American cookery," at the Remick Museum Jan. 22. The visitors will be helping to prepare the food from fresh farm foods cooked in the historical manner on a 19th century open hearth. Reservations are required. Contact the museum at 323-7591.

Carol and Bob Munroe spent a few days at Christmas with Jeffrey and Michelle Munroe in Rochester, Mass. It was nice to be with them at Christmas even through Jeffrey and Michelle came down with stomach flew.

Gary and Edna Heath went to their son, Rick's, D’s Pizza shop in Fryeburg, Maine,to a Christmas Party. This was his first outing in a long time. This last week he and Edna went to Standish, Maine, to visit his brother, Kenny and wife, Clair. Gary has had a hard time health wise but, with the help of the therapist and home health care, he is making progress.

Unitarian Universalist Fellowship showing of ‘Lost in Laconia,’ a film on the Laconia State School TAMWORTH — In 1903 the Laconia State School, or the New Hampshire School for the Feebleminded as it was called then, was founded.

Until it's closure in 1999 many people, including children, suffered abuse and neglect in a time when people were branded and stigmatized as "feebleminded" and a danger to society and were banished to a life of isolation and total segregation.

Filmmakers, Gordon Dubois and Bill Rogers, have made a new and signifi cant documentary about the school titled, "Lost in Laconia." Using archival footage and current interviews with former residents of the institution, families of

former residents, and people who worked at the institution, along with an extensive collection of documents, this documentary examines the social values and cultural ideals of the 20th century, relative to individuals and families who were labeled "feebleminded", defi cient, or disabled in New Hampshire.

On Jan. 18, at 7 p.m. the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of the Eastern Slopes will be sponsoring a showing of the fi lm at the Cook Memorial Library in Tamworth. Gordon Dubois will be present to discuss his film and an opportunity to talk and have refreshments will be available after the film.

Memorial Hospital welcomes the first baby of the new year CONWAY — Neither the possibility of snow, or cold weather, could deter the birth of Memorial Hospital’s "First Baby of the Year."

Trenton McGowan, born at 5:16 a.m., Sunday, Jan. 2 to Megan McGowan and James Martin III of North Conway, is Memorial Hospital’s first baby of 2011.

The parents, who have lived in North Conway for the last several years, say they love living in such a beautiful area. James, an avid snowboarder, finds mountains in the valley and the trails at Bretton Woods "miraculous."

Megan said she is especially grateful for the great nurses who cared for her (Leigh Copsey, RN, and Beth Bergeron, RN) during her hospital stay. Megan also noted that she very much enjoyed the deep tub with jets ("It was just like a hot tub") that was at her disposal during labor at the hospital.

Fifteen years ago, another Megan, sister of James, was also a Memorial Hospital first baby of the year. Like her nephew Trenton, she too, was a Jan. 2 "first baby."

Family portraits of the entire family took place in front of one of the inspiring quotes stenciled on the walls of the labor and delivery waiting area. It says "A little laugh, a little promise, a little hope," sen-

Trenton McGowan was the first baby of the new year at Memorial Hospital. He is pictured above with his parents James Martin III and Megan McGowan, and brother Jacob.

timents which seem to nicely sum up the promise of a beautiful newborn baby.

Charlotte Whiting, RN, who is retired from Memorial Hospital, donated a homemade blanket for Trenton.

North Conway Library presents talk on 'Birkebeiner' Jan. 20

Barbara Ray

Annual auction is Tuesday, Feb. 8 My mother use to tell me, "The older you get, the faster time goes." At 13 I had my doubts about that, but now&hellip;? Let’s just say I fi nd myself quoting my mom frequently these days. As a matter of fact, I thought of this quote after receiving a notice that next month we would be holding our 11th annual auction and I've been here at the center for every single one of them!

The really exciting news is this year we are trying something new. Anyone who has attended these fund-raisers knows they’re a lot of fun but there’s no denying that space and getting around to see all the great items was a bit tricky. This year we will hold our annual auction on Tuesday, Feb. 8 at the Red Jacket Mountain View Resort in Hampshire Hall. The cost is still $10 per person which includes a wonderful hors d’oeuvres buffet, a silent auction loaded with wonderful items, a live auction with even more great items, a cash bar and a really terrific time. Reservations are

We look forward to seeing you there.

CONWAY — Jeff Foltz will be discussing his newly released book "Birkebeiner" at the Weather Observatory Discovery Center on Main Street in North Conway Village on Thursday, Jan. 20 at 7 p.m.

The event is presented by the North Conway Library.

The book "Birkebeiner" is a fi ctional account of an historical event that took place in 1203 in Norway.

Two years after her son Hakon's birth, Inga, wife of the Birkebeiner leader, King Hakon, realizes that the army will overrun her home, the fortress of Lillehammer.

Inga knows they will kill her child because he is the prince who may ascend the throne and unite the country. To save the son, King Hakon asks his best warriors to ski to safety, a long dangerous journey over a 7,000-foot snow-blown mountain and through treacherous winter valleys. For eight days, Inga and her son travel with the warriors pursued by a cadre of enemy soldiers intent on killing the child.

Birkebeiner is the fi ctional account of this historical event

that the Norwegians still revere and celebrate yearly with the famous Birkebeiner cross country ski race that covers some of the original journey.

Foltz, an avid cross country skier, traveled to Norway to ski on similar terrain that his main characters would have experienced. He researched this book at Cornell University's Nordic History Library, the Oslo National Library and the Holmenkollen Ski Museum in Oslo, Norway.

The North Conway Public Library is offering this presentation and book signing in conjunction with the 30 kilometer ski race being held in Jackson on Saturday, Jan. 22.

This program at the Weather Observatory Discovery Center on Thursday, Jan. 20 is free and open to the public. However, donations to the North Conway Library are always very welcome and much appreciated. Refreshments will be served, including coffee from Frontside Grind.

For more information contact the North Conway Library at (603) 356-2961.

HOME OF THE WEEK

Bonnie Hayes is presented the Realtor of the Year Award for 2010 by Karl Seibel, 2010 board president.

Bonnie Hayes named Realtor of the Year for White Mountain board

CONWAY — Bonnie Hayes, of Select Real Estate in Conway, has received the 2010 Realtor of the Year Award from the White Mountain Board of Realtors.

The award is presented each year to one outstanding Realtor member based on Realtor spirit, local board activity, civic activity, state association activity, national association activity and business accomplishments.

Hayes’ real estate career began in 2002 when she moved to the Mount Washington Valley from the Boston area.

“I found Select Real Estate and owner/broker Jim Lyons who, with patience and humor, helped hone my skills and provided the technical support and advice I needed. He, along with the other agents and staff at Select, has made my transition into this new career a very successful and happy one.”

Hayes’ past accomplishments in the local board include being a member of the 2008 and 2009 board of directors and the Budget Committee, Finance Committee, Scholarship Committee, Strategic Plan Committee and Education Committee.

During her tenure on the Scholarship Committee, the White Mountain Board of Realtors, with the support of the affi liates, has raised funds for scholarships for Kennett High School students each year. In 2010, the board offered four scholarships from a diverse group of deserving applicants.

On the state level, from 2004-2009, Hayes was a member of the N.H. Association of Realtors Honor Society and participated in six association conventions.

In addition to her real estate career, Hayes is on the board of the Alternative Life Center, a North Country non-profi t organization for people dealing with mental disabilities; a sponsor/contributor of Shriners Golf Tournament; and an Angels and Elves contributor.

Hayes has sold nearly 300 properties to clients in her seven years in the industry. “The smiles and waves I get when I’m out in town or in the stores are the best public recognition of all,” she said.

Tranquility base Today’s Home of the Week, located in Jackson, is a New Englander-style home with an attached garage.

JACKSON — Custom renovations, large backyard, perennial gardens and a year-round view of Mount Washington.

Those are some of the feature’s of this week’s home, located amid what listing agent Lorraine Seibel calls the “tranquility of Jackson — where time stands still and schedules are forgotten.”

The New Englanderstyle home, built in 1978, has three bedrooms, three baths and 3,704 square feet of space.

The interior features an open fl oor plan with hardwood fl oors, granite counters, large Palladium windows and a wood fireplace.

There are 4.2 acres of land on two separate lots of records. The home is located within walking distance to cross-country skiing, golf and Jackson Village.

Price is $550,000.

Seibel can be reached at RE/MAX Presidential in North Conway, 356-9444, Ext. 211. Her e-mail is lorraineofmwv@ aol.com.

The home has 3,704 square feet of space, including a large formal dining room (above).

New Hampshire not immune from slowdown Despite having the lowest unemployment rate in New England and the fourth best in the nation at 5.4 percent, New Hampshire wasn’t immune from a slowdown in home sales this past year, according to a report from Moody’s Investors Service.

The report was released this week by RE/MAX of New England.

Condominiums faired the worst in the sales cycle, down 5.7 percent over 2009 with average prices remaining fl at. Multi-family homes showed slightly lower declines of 4.2 percent over last year, while prices rose 6.2 per-

cent. Single-family homes were also down, posting 3.0 percent drops this year but also experienced a 4.6 percent price increase.

Paul Hamblett, broker/owner of RE/MAX Coast to Coast Properties in Portsmouth, found the year to be steady. “2010 was reasonable and even after the tax credit expired we were still seeing first-time buyers in this market.”

According to Hamblett, lower-priced homes continue to sell well, while homes in the $500,000 to $700,000 range are stalled. “Where we missed the boat at least in the fi rst half of the year was with the move-up buyer.”

Despite a lack of move-up buyers, Hamblett’s business fared better this year than in 2009. His overall transactions were up 6 percent at 519 for the year with an average sales price of $286,000, higher than the state’s average of approximately $255,000.

Even with low unemployment numbers and a relatively high consumer confidence level, foreclosure fi lings were up 11 percent in October from the previous month, and up 7 percent from October of 2009, according to the latest RealtyTrac® U.S. Foreclosure Market Report. New Hampshire ranked 38th in the nation in total foreclosures reported in October.

Hamblett maintains that although short sales and foreclosures are about 15 percent of his overall business, it’s going to be an increasingly important aspect in 2011 as experts anticipate a continued rise in foreclosure rates attributed to lower-than-average home values.

According to the New Hampshire Association of Realtors, residential home sales experienced several months of decreases from July 2010

through November 2010.

In June, according to Northern New England Real Estate Network, the average single-family home price was $229,425; by November, that number fell by more than 10 percent to $204,450.

Overall, the federal tax credit extension, coupled with an uptick in seasonal buying, helped keep the real estate market on its tracks in the fi rst two quarters of 2010, according to the RE/ MAX report. Single-family home sales across New England showed the affects of the tax credit extension, as first-time buyers inked deals to beat the spring deadline.

As predicted, the second half of 2010 did not fare as well despite mortgage interest rates hitting historic lows — at times dipping into the 3 percent range.

“The stalled third and fourth quarters have everything to do with lower consumer confidence due to our struggling job market,” said Jay Hummer, executive vice president and regional director of RE/MAX of New England. “We’ve seen a nationwide trend of companies accumulating cash and reducing debt by not hiring additional personnel.”

In an effort to stimulate the economy, the Federal Reserve recently announced a second purchase of $600 billion in long-term Treasury bonds — an attempt to speed up economic growth by further lowering long-term interest rates.

“With rates continuing on a steady trajectory, it’s really an investor’s market,” said Hummer. “There is no other industry right now in which you can expect 80 percent return on your investment. Consumers who are able to put 20 percent down, rent a property and in 20-30 years time own it, will realize that return.”

For years, the tried-and-true axiom among real estate professionals was that putting dollars into smart remodeling projects paid handsome dividends to homeowners. But judging by the latest data published in Remodeling magazine’s 2010-11 Cost vs.

Value Report, sinking money into a major room/area redo may not be a worthy investment right now.

The report indicated that, on the average remodeling project, homeowners recouped 16 percent less value than they did in 2009, which represents the biggest drop the magazine’s survey has recorded in its nine-year history. And this occurred in spite of the

fact that construction costs decreased for the first time since 2004.

For example, a major kitchen remodel costing $57,215 yielded a current cost recoup of less than 69 percent, down from 72 percent in 2009. For a midrange bath renovation totaling $16,142, owners can probably expect to recoup 64 percent of the cost versus 71 percent observed a year ago. But many experts recommend that you take the report with a grain of salt.

“The survey results only say that if you’re trying to sell your home in the next year, remodeling is not a cost-effective way to increase the sales price,” says Joe

Masters Emison of BuildFax, Austin, Texas.

The bottom line: If you plan on living in your home for fi ve or more years, the project may still be worth it because you’ll not only get the extra use, but the perceived value of the project will change as the economy improves, says Jim LaVallee of EpiCity, Atlanta.

What’s more, with the construction market currently in a downturn, homeowners can probably deliver the project for much less than what the magazine study estimates it should cost.

Brady: A leader they swear by

BY JUDY BATTISTA N.Y. TIMES

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — So far this week, Tom Brady has been variously described as a dork (a compliment) and as something else entirely (unprintable and defi nitely not a compliment). His choice of entertainment options was assailed, his study habits questioned, his in-game deportment scrutinized.

For Brady, this might have counted as progress. The length of his hair, at least, is no longer a regular topic of conversation, although it is still long, tumbling out of his ski cap and resting atop his shoulders on Wednesday.

For everyone else, it is a reminder that with the New England Patriots entering the playoff battle Sunday in a divisional round game against the Jets, Brady, their quarterback, again has become the N.F.L.’s central figure in what might be the best season of his career.

Brady hews to the Patriots’ philosophy of eschewing refl ection, so he fl oated above the Jets-induced fray this week. People, including his coaches, have called him bad names, he said.

Sure, he is an emotional player, he said, a roundabout way of acknowledging that the Jets’ charges of “antics” are not without merit. But he is also a quarterback at the top of his game.

Those around him say Brady has evolved in recent years, fi netuning and tinkering with skills that have won three Super Bowls, improving more than just his deep passes.

He is a more active leader, seizing control of a young offense that lost its most talented receiver in the fi rst month of the season and wound up as the league’s top-scoring offense.

“Over the course of time, I think he’s improved in a lot of areas because he’s continued to work on them and work on all the little see BRADY page 8
