George Cleveland, Ron Paul talk 'lawyers, guns and money' Grandson of former president meets presidential contender

BY TOM EASTMAN THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

BOW — It was a meeting that had to be.

Back in July when Republican president candidate U.S. Rep. Ron Paul was interviewed by the editorial board of The Conway Daily Sun, reporter Lloyd Jones asked Paul which three people in history he'd most like to have dinner with. It's a question Jones asks of all the candidates.

Paul's top pick for a dinner conversation was economist Ludwig von Mises. They would discuss how to make economic issues more palatable to

the American people, Paul said. He also named Gandhi, the pre-eminent political and ideological leader of India during the Indian independence movement.

Paul's other response?

President Grover Cleveland (1837-1908), the nation's 22nd and 24th president. Paul said Cleveland was a believer in sound money, had a sound foreign policy, and exercised his veto pen.

He was told at that point that Cleveland had a tie to the Mount Washington Valley as he once see PAUL page 8

BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — Budget season shifts into a high gear Wednesday night when the municipal budget committee begins its review of the Conway School District's proposed 2012-13 budget.

The budgeteers will meet with school superintendent Carl Nelson at 6:30 p.m. in the Professional Development Center at Kennett Middle School.

"This will be the first shot at reviewing the budget with them," Nelson said, Tuesday. "As you know there are a number of new budget committee members and for many of them this will be their first time going through the school budget.

I'll attempt to answer any questions that they may have. I'm sure there may be some areas of specific interest and I'll bring administrators to address those specifics when we meet again on the 25th (of January)."

Nelson met with the budget committee Dec. 14 to explain how sending town tuition is calculated and also to give the members their first glimpse see SCHOOL BUDGET page 10

States take a gamble

(NY Times) — It has been more than four decades since states first began putting numbers runners out of business by starting their own legal lotteries, which now yield them about $18 billion a year. Now several states are thinking about trying to plug budget gaps by profiting again from the optimism of their residents — by legalizing, licensing and taxing Internet gambling.

Nevada and the District of Columbia have already taken steps to authorize online poker, and state officials in Iowa have been studying the issue closely.

Lawmakers in New Jersey and California are redoubling their efforts to legalize it, bolstered by a recent Department of Justice decision that reversed the federal government’s long-held opposition to many forms of Internet gambling.

But as desperate as states are for new revenue, after four years of often-painful austerity, there are questions about just how big a jackpot they can expect from online gambling. The state of Iowa released a study last month that found that legalizing online poker might net the state between $3 million and $13 million a year, far less than private companies had estimated. The American Gaming Association, a casino industry trade group, has estimated that legalizing online poker would net roughly $2 billion a year in new tax revenues, a fraction of what states get from their lotteries.

Romney says his effective tax rate is ‘probably’ 15%

Indictment for man accused in White House shooting

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

FLORENCE, S.C. NY Times) — Under new pressure to release his tax returns, Mitt Romney on Tuesday acknowledged that he pays an effective tax rate of about 15 percent because so much of his fortune comes from past investments.

“It’s probably closer to the 15 percent rate than anything,” Romney said. “Because my last 10 years, I’ve — my

income comes overwhelmingly from investments made in the past, rather than ordinary income, or rather than earned annual income.”

The vast majority of the income Romney reported over 12 months in 2010 and ‘11 was dividends from investments, capital gains on mutual funds and his post-retirement share of profits and invest-

ment returns from Bain Capital, the firm he once led. And Mr. Romney also noted that he made hundreds of thousands of dollars from speaking engagements.

“I got a little bit of income from my book, but I gave that all away,” Romney told reporters after an event here. “And then I get speakers’ fees from time to time, but not very much.”

Cruise ship captain rebuked in transcript GIGLIO, Italy (NY Times) — Rescuers pulled five bodies clad in sodden life vests from the partly sunken cruise ship Costa Concordia on Tuesday, bringing the death toll in the disaster to at least 11, as Italian media published transcripts of a tense screaming match between the coast guard and the ship’s captain, who fled to a life boat after he smashed the vessel on a reef.

Publication of the transcripts added a dramatic new dimension to the accounts of the accident Friday night, when Capt. Francesco Schettino, 52, apparently tried to show off the gleaming $450 million vessel to residents of this

island off the coast of Tuscany, and in the process ripped a hole in its hull. The ship quickly began to list heavily to starboard as panicked passengers and crew made pell-mell escapes, evoking images of the Titanic’s final moments.

“Go up on the bow of the ship on a rope ladder, and tell me what you can do, how many people are there and what they need — now!” Gregorio Maria De Falco, a coast guard officer, said to Captain Schettino by telephone as the captain bobbed in a lifeboat Friday night, as revealed in audio recordings published by Corriere della Sera, a leading Italian newspaper. “All right, I’m going,” Captain Schettino is heard to reply.

Sisterz Salon 733-5305

(NY Times) — A federal grand jury in Washington on Tuesday indicted the man arrested after shots were fired at the White House in November, charging him with attempting to assassinate President Obama along with 16 assault and firearms counts If convicted he could face life imprisonment under federal sentencing guidelines.

The man, Oscar Ramiro OrtegaHernandez, 21, of Idaho Falls, was arrested in Pennsylvania on November 16, five days after shots were heard and his car and gun were found abandoned a few blocks from the White House.

Bullets were found at the White House, including one in a window.

In addition to the attempted assassination charge, he was charged with assaulting federal officers with a deadly weapon, damaging federal property, and related firearms charges. The charges appeared to be structured to ensure that Ortega-Hernandez faced significant penalties on federal charges even if he is not convicted of the most serious offense.

House to decide on Man pleads for burglar state income tax ban to return father’s ashes

THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Wednesday, January 18, 2012— Page 3

The House of Representatives will vote Wednesday on a proposed constitutional amendment that would ban the state from imposing new taxes on personal income.

The Republican-sponsored proposal aims to place greater protections on New Hampshire’s historic status as one of a few states that do not tax personal income other than dividend and interest income.

“It sends a strong and unmistakable message to our citizens and to our business community that we are going to hold firm to the New Hampshire advantage of no personal income tax,” House Majority Leader D.J. Bettencourt said Monday.

“It is an important safeguard and fire wall that our citizens need,” the Salem Republican added.

But opponents claim the proposed amendment, CACR 13, is so broadly written that it would result in litigation that would have the courts ultimately deciding its meaning. It would also tie lawmakers’ hands, according to state Rep. Susan Almy, D-Lebanon.

“It is trying to make sure you couldn’t put an income tax in but, in the process, it is also stopping probably any future change in business taxes or any future change in any other tax we may have,” she said.

The proposed constitutional amendment says: “No new tax shall be levied, directly or indirectly, upon a person’s income, from whatever source it is derived.”

The full House is expected to pass it by the required three-fifths majority.

If so, it would then go to the Senate, which also must pass it by a threefifths majority for it to be placed on

the ballot in the November general election. It would take a two-thirds majority of voters to pass a constitutional amendment.

“When we’re talking about changing the constitution, we are talking about our legacy. We are one of the last oases where, as a state, your personal income is not taxed,” state Rep. Frank Sapareto, R-Derry, said.

A constitutional amendment would better preserve that tradition than enacting a new state law, which could be reversed by a future Legislature, he said.

“The constitution kind of enshrines that. It sets a higher bar,” Sapareto said.

He said the current Republicandominated Legislature has “the best chance I’ve ever seen” of getting the amendment on the ballot.

Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Texas, Washington and Wyoming have no state income tax, according to the Federation of Tax Administrators. New Hampshire and Tennessee tax dividend and interest income only.

Almy, who said she has supported an income tax and would do so again, said the proposed amendment is one of the most broad and vaguely crafted of the many she has seen come before the Legislature in her 16 years as a lawmaker.

Bettencourt disagreed. He said the language the House will vote on Wednesday has been the result of many years of work and avoids many of the concerns opponents have raised. The proposed amendment, he said, only pertains to “no new tax on personal income” and would not affect the current tax structure, he said.

ROCHESTER — A Rochester burglary victim who had his house ransacked and his valuables stolen is pleading to have his father’s ashes returned.

It’s the second time in fewer than two months an urn has been stolen in Rochester.

William Griswold said his father’s ashes were stolen Monday when someone broke into his Allen Street home. He lost a lot of money and other items, but the only thing he wants back is the ashes.

“They went through and they just tore things out of drawers and [were] looking for valuable stuff. We had a piggy bank full of the money we got for our wedding, and we were saving up for our honeymoon. They took that,” Griswold said.

“I just want my dad back, more than

anything I just want my dad back,” he said. “Anything else, I don’t care about. That’s the biggest thing.”

The ashes were in the dining room on a table with an American flag above. Griswold’s father was a Vietnam veteran.

“My plan was to get him into the veteran’s cemetery,” he said.

Griswold said his father was an MP and did shipfitting most of his life.

On Dec. 5, another Rochester resident, Diane Bozzi, had an urn with her mother’s ashes stolen. But after a public plea, it was returned a week later.

Now, the Griswolds are asking for the same thing.

“Drop it off here, anonymously. I would just appreciate that back,” he said.

PSNH warns of credit card scam MANCHESTER — New Hampshire’s largest utility company is warning its customers about a scam that involves being asked to open a new credit card account in order to keep their power on.

Public Service Company of New Hampshire said utility customers in other states have been getting called by scammers pretending to be power company workers. Customers are told

that their electricity will be shut off unless they buy a “Green Dot” credit card and make a payment.

PSNH said customers should not provide any financial information and should call customer service if they get such a call. The company notifies customers in writing, not by phone, if they are scheduled to lose their service.

McCarthy position on sous chef is right on To the editor State Rep. Frank McCarthy has taken a positive first step toward gaining support for continuing to fund the sous chief position for the Mount Washington Valley Career and Technical Center’s culinary arts program at Kennett High School (as noted in his recent letter in The Conway Daily Sun), additionally I offer the following supporting information.

Not all students need, or desire, to achieve professional status in occupations such as engineering, science, health care, education etc. This is a fact supported by the continuing need within our local business community for workers trained in trade skills.

The military has long recognized the need for occupational/vocational education, it is, and has been, a major path for the education of many of America’s best trained and educated enlisted and officer personnel.

As I visit businesses throughout the Mount Washington Valley, I often observe and talk with present and former Kennett High School students at

work as they perform their on the job duties. I note with pleasure and pride the talent they display in performing their tasks. This display of community support contributes toward the local economy and benefits us all. Additionally it speaks highly of the skills and motivation of our students. Much of this talent has been gained via Mount Washington Valley Career and Technical Center courses and teachers.

These students will continue to serve and contribute to the valley for years to come. That said, in my view, the small amount of school budget for such training has proven its value within the educational environment and should be continued.

Having been educated in the trades and having taught Voc-Ed both in the military and at the high school level, I feel qualified in offering my full support to the efforts of Mr. McCarthy with respect to securing funds for the sous chef position at Kennett High School.

When Cochrane obeys all laws in Leviticus...

To the editor: When Mr. Cochrane starts obeying all the laws set down in Leviticus, I will consider his criticism of the young lady who apparently asked a legitimate question about marriage. But until then he should perhaps read Mat-

thew 6:14-15 concerning forgiveness and perhaps Matthew 6:16 concerning hypocrisy.

I will admit that I had to use Google to get some of this information but that at least makes me truthful.

If it looks like marriage, acts like marriage...it’s marriage To the editor: In response to Bruce Cochrane’s letter of Jan. 13: I don’t know if you’re aware of this fact, but being a supporter of LGBT rights doesn’t automatically make you gay. There are many straight allies.

Your grand sweeping assumptions of me in your Jan. 13 letter demonstrate an impressive level of ignorance.

But you want to talk exclusively marriage? Fine. Let’s do it. I’m sorry you didn’t find my statistics, which were in direct response to each of your anti-marriage arguments, relevant. I really do appreciate the toothbrush stat you countered with, though. That was particularly demonstrative of your brilliance.

To pull a quote from you, “Why can’t a civil union have the same privilages [sic] as a heterosexual marriage. Why is it so important to use the term marriage when it does not pertain to homosexuals and never should be.” Atrocious grammar and spelling aside, if it looks like marriage, talks

like marriage, acts like marriage ... it’s marriage, no matter what you try to call it.

I think the real question is why do you so badly feel the need to hoard the term marriage exclusively for heterosexual couples? I don’t understand the threat you seem to perceive at extending the definition to include all forms of marriage.

The reality is that the LGBT community doesn’t want to be treated like second-class citizens, and demeaning their marriages by forcing them to call them by a different name, even if they have all the benefits of the institution, excludes them from the rest of humanity. It points a finger saying, “You don’t belong with the rest of us.”

While I realize that I cannot convince you differently, I hope the world will soon leave close-minded views like yours behind. Because everyone — regardless of gender, sexual orientation, or race — deserves to belong.

A common goal of destruction of economic freedom To the editor: There has been much discussion about the Occupy Wallstreet Movement over the past six months. Many publications have highlighted the movement and Time Magazine actually featured the protester as the person of the year on its year end edition, although it included worldwide protests.

There are certainly some issues with which most Americans would agree with the U.S. protesters, such as executives of failing companies taking exorbitant salaries and bonuses. However, the Occupy Wallstreet Movement, which is encouraged by the Obama Administration, is primarily composed of Marxists and socialists (the base of the Democrat Party) as well as assorted miscreants such as anarchists, drug addicts and vagrants. They all appear to have one thing in common— the destruction of economic freedom through wealth redistribution and confiscation.

The demonization of the top 1 percent of wage earners and the exploitation of class envy is like something one might read in the Communist Manifesto. It just so happens that according to CNNmoney.com the top 1 percent which are those who make $ 340,000 and up earned nearly 17 percent of the nation’s income and paid 37 percent of the taxes — certainly a fair share and then some.

I didn’t hear about the protesters demonstrating against Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac executives for taking huge bonuses after receiving government bailouts or ex-Senator Chris Dodd and Representative Barney Frank for their failed oversight of these institutions.

The obvious reason is that they are Democrats.

The Occupy Wallstreet Movement is a prime example of the Democrat Party in action.

Concern about safety of intersection of East Side Road To the editor: Driving up Route 16 just north of Conway Village recently reminded me of a concern I’ve had for years about the safety of the intersection of Route 16 with East Side Road in front of Jonathan’s Seafood. Traffic was being held up by an apparent collision, as there was a car missing its front end sitting on the back of a tow truck and firemen shoveling up debris. I thought to myself that this is no surprise, given the nature of that intersection.

Having maintained Jonathan’s and the Mountain Ear parking lot both summer and, especially, winter, for 20 years has driven home the danger of this fork where southbound traffic rounds the corner onto East Side Road and northbound drivers try to edge out across southbound traffic to head north.

The angle of that fork makes it difficult for drivers to see oncoming traffic in the northbound lane of Route 16 and the proximity of the fork to the curve by

Merrill Farm makes it difficult to see southbound traffic. Add to that the fact that only a select few drivers choose to use their turn signals when going from Route 16 onto East Side Road and the task of getting out onto Route 16 North is dicey at best.

For many years I’ve considered that the simple solution to this problem is to make the last section of the northbound lane of East Side Road “One Way,” with a “Do Not Enter” sign on the corner of the connector to Route 16 right in front of Jonathan’s. This would force all northbound traffic to enter Route 16 at right angles where the visibility is superior, both to the north and south. It would inconvenience no one, as southbound traffic would turn onto East Side Road as it always has; it would be a very easy solution to put in place; and it just might help to eliminate the possibility of other fender benders or worse at this critical location.

PAUL from page one

owned a summer home in Tamworth and that his son, Francis Cleveland, co-founded the town's Barnstormers Theater in 1931.

He also was informed that Grover Cleveland's grandson, George Cleveland, nephew to the late Francis, is a dead-ringer for the late president and that he works nearby at the Gibson Center for Senior Services. That left the three-time presidential candidate in amazement.

“Really? I'd like to meet him next time I'm in the area. I'd enjoy that,” said Paul.

Well, folks, that day happened last week, reports George Cleveland: “We met Sunday [Jan. 8] at his hotel, the Hampton Inn in Bow,” said Cleveland in an e-mail this week. “I gave him [Paul] an 1884 Cleveland pin. He signed a poster for me, and wife Carol signed her ‘Paul Family Cookbook.’ A good time was had by all.

We spent about a half hour together. Met a bunch of the [Paul] family including [Kentucky Sen. and son] Rand.”

Just what did they talk about?

“Lawyers, guns and money,” said Cleveland. “Campaign financing. Manifest Destiny as it related to Grover's time in office. My grandfather considered it arrogant. McKinley and Teddy Roosevelt considered it gospel. The overthrow of Hawaii. Restaurants in Buffalo. We talked about history as a subject of study and the importance of making the history of monetary policy a part of that and make it easy for students to fathom.”

Cleveland related that Paul admired President Cleveland's restraint when it came to American foreign policy.

“He said Grover was the last president who believed that the boundaries of the U.S. were the prize, not a bunch of little countries all over the world,” said Cleveland, a longtime Tamworth town moderator and one-time state senate candidate who often impersonates his late grandfather at Democratic political events.

He said the meeting was set up by one of Paul's advisers.

“One of his advisers is a guy named Doug Wead,” said Cleveland. “He has authored books on aspects of White House history and presidential families.

I know him via the Internet and I've met his coauthor, Mary Achor. After RP was on the Tonight Show and mentioned Grover — which had Grover trending on Twitter for a while — Doug talked to RP who wanted to meet me and his staff set it up. It was right after he was on Meet The Press last Sunday.”

His overall impression of the 76-year-old Texas congressman?

“My first impression,” notes Cleveland, “was that this guy almost glows with the sincerity of his belief.

He is also a beacon of health. I asked him about this and he said he takes 'nutritional supplements’ and gets outdoors whenever possible, which is often. His family is calm and not hyper like a lot of other candidates. While some of his supporters are vocal, his staff were all incredibly nice. His 'bodyman' John walked me out to my car and said it meant a lot to the Pauls to meet me and that he really is inspired

by GC [Grover Cleveland], as is he, John the bodyman. I thought the whole family was pretty cool.”

Paul wins in Effingham and Coos County Paul finished second in last Tuesday's first-in-thenation GOP primary in New Hampshire. Effingham was the lone town in Carroll County to throw its political support behind Paul. All other towns went with former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.

Overall within the county, Romney collected the most support with 4,699 votes to easily outdistance Paul, 2,578, who was followed by former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman, 1,962; former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, 1,222; former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, 827; Texas Gov. Rick Perry, 74; and former Louisiana Gov. Buddy Roemer, 55.

The state has about 232,000 registered Republicans, 223,000 Democrats and 313,000 voters who are undeclared or independent.

In Effingham, Paul took the top spot with 125 votes to defeat Romney, 88; Huntsman, 41; Santorum, 36; and Gingrich, 25.

Paul did win Coos County 1,431 to 1,330, preventing Romney from winning every county in the state.

Santorum, who finished just 55 votes behind Gingrich in the race for fourth, had to look no further than Carroll County for the deficit. Gingrich got 395 more votes here than the Iowa caucuses runner-up.

Madison and Effingham were the lone two towns where Santorum got more votes than Gingrich. The two candidates also were even in Brookfield and Chatham.

Huntsman was a consistent third throughout Carroll County, only being narrowly edged by Gingrich in Ossipee (127-112) and Hale's Location (11-8).

Statue of Liberty Cleveland's appearance with Paul followed his attendance in October of the ceremonies marking the 125th anniversary of his grandfather's dedication of the Statue of Liberty in New York City.

Smith is 10th in Super G in Italy; Vonn wins 47th World Cup race

BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CORTINA d'AMPEZZO, Italy — Lindsey Vonn, of Vail, Colo., dominated the Cortina Super G to notch the 47th Audi FIS Alpine World Cup win of her career and move ahead of Austrian great Renate Goetschl to stand alone at third on the women's all-time win list Sunday.

Julia Mancuso, of Squaw Valley, Calif., was fifth, and Leanne Smith, of North Conway, was 10th as the U.S. Ski Team captured the Cortina Trophy, recognizing the most successful nation over the two-day race series.

"We definitely wanted to make a statement today and the whole team actually stepped it up," Alex Hoedlmoser, United States women's head coach, said on the U.S. Ski Team website. "It was really cool to see."

Vonn won the race in 1:26.16, followed by Germany's Maria Hoefl-Riesch, 1:26.77; and Tina Maze, of Slovinia, 1:27.02 Mancuso was fifth in 1:27.14 and Smith, the daughter of Paula and Joe Smith, of Conway, 10th in 1:27.96.

Other U.S. finishers were Laurene Ross, 13th, 1:28.14; and Stacey Cook, 26th, 1:28.95.

Vonn now stands alone at third on the women's all-time win list ahead of Austrian Renate Goetschl (46), trailing only Austria’s Annemarie Moser-Proell (62) and Switzerland’s Vreni Schneider (55).

"Cortina is a very special place for me," Vonn said on the website. "It's where I got my first World Cup podium and I've always had success here, so I was really trying hard today and risking a lot. My run was a good combination of risk and aggression, but I still stayed in control. The high speed made it more challenging than normal. I was on the limit the entire race.

"I'm really proud and happy to be a part of this team," she continued. "We had an incredible weekend. Stacey (Cook), Julia (Mancuso), Leanne (Smith) and Laurenne (Ross) are skiing so well right now. For the entire U.S. Ski Team, Cortina

follow-up story in which he mentioned an ironic connection between Paul, Libertarians and his grandfather.

“There is an irony to Grover Cleveland’s involvement with the Statue of Liberty,” wrote Cleveland.

“When he was governor of New York, he vetoed a $50,000 appropriation to help fund the pedestal on which the statue stands. He did this because he believed that this was not the way New Yorkers wanted to spend their tax dollars. This attitude is one reason why Cleveland is a favorite among Libertarians, not the least of whom is presidential candidate Congressman Ron Paul of Texas. By doing this, Cleveland helped unleash a fund-raising campaign of massive proportions. And with pennies and nickels, school children and grandmothers helped build the massive foundation.”

In that same story, Cleveland related the awe that Lady Liberty elicits from those who behold her.

“Because of the sheer magnificence of the Statue of Liberty,” noted Cleveland in the Nov. 11 story for the Sun, “she has been written about in ways I could never reach. She does not meet your gaze. But you know she’s aware. She’s seen thousands and thousands of men and women go off to war with thousands less returning. She’s seen the skies fill with small puttering planes, great airships, supersonic airliners. She’s seen buildings rise and buildings fall.

And she’s seen boatloads of people looking for a new life; in many cases looking for life. Her right heel is slightly raised to remind us that she is moving.

Liberty is not a still life, nor is it a still concept. She invites us not to hide behind her cloak but to stand with her, walk with her and spread the light with her.”

was very successful. The records in skiing are really important to me.

It's the history of our sport and it's something you can look back on and be proud of what you've done with your career. I never thought that I'd be able to reach as many victories as I have now.

Renate (Goetschl) has always been such a role model. I can't believe I'm at a point where I can Leanne Smith was 10th in the stand alongside her in Super G in Italy on Sunday. history."

Smith, who is now in her fifth year on the

U.S. Ski Team and her first on the A-Team, is currently ranked 35th overall in the World Cup standings. She finished last season ranked 30th.

She is ranked 27th in downhill and 15th in Super G while not racing giant slalom or slalom this winter.

Vonn sits atop the overall World Cup standings with 884 points, 291 points ahead of Slovinia's Tina Maze, 593. Vonn is ranked first in downhill, first in Super G, fourth in giant slalom and 17th in slalom.

Fellow America Mancuso is seventh overall (sixth in downhill, fifth in Super G and sixth in giant slalom and not skiing slalom) in the standings while Cook is 27th; Mikaela Shiffrin, 36th; and Ross, 50th.

U.S. women now head to their official European training base of Obergurgl-Hochgurgl, Austria.

of the proposed budget.

"It's changed quite a bit since then," he said. "We're down $1.1 million so it'll be interesting to hear what they think."

Thanks to some persistent negotiations, the school district will get a substantial break on its health insurance premiums for the 2012-13 school year.

Nelson informed the Conway School Board last week that insurance rates have been revised, bringing the proposed school budget down an additional $550,017.

The new proposed budget figure is $31,901,212, which is $1,138,630 less than the previous year's $33,039,842.

The total does not include 22 warrant articles which total over $1.5 million.

The estimated tax rate, excluding separate special articles, is $10.55 per $1,000 of property valuation, representing a decrease of 69 cents per $1,000 of property valuation from the previous year. Nelson projected if all of the warrant articles were to be voter approved, it would represent an overall tax increase of 44 cents per $1,000 of property valuation, raising the tax rate to $11.37 per $1,000 of property valuation or a 1.17 percent increase.

Under the budget, special education is down $458,313 (down 7.47 percent); the Kennett Middle School budget is down $217,613 (down 6.55 percent); there is an increase of $87,517 (up 1.24 percent) at Kennett High School; Conway Elementary School is up $58,193 (3.12 percent); John Fuller Elementary School is up $33,917 (1.76 percent); Pine Tree Elementary is up $26,489 (1.40 percent); district-wide technology is up $4,390 (.83 percent); and Career

and Technical education is up $9,412 (1.11 percent). The increases were due primarily to health and salary benefits.

One area of increased revenue comes in the form of sending towns' high school tuition, which saw an increase of over $411,000. This was on the heels of the 2011-12 budget that was up over $700,000. Nelson said as part of the 20-year school contract, sending towns are paying a 2.5 percent inflation cost on each student sent to Kennett High along with an additional 3.6 percent cost-of-living allowance charge per student. The 6 percent in taxes brings Jackson's per-pupil cost to send a child to Kennett Up to over $32,000 a year.

There are several important dates on the budget calendar.

• Jan. 25: Nelson will meet with the budget committee to answer any questions the budgeteers may have from the previous week. The meeting is slated for 6:30 p.m. in the Conway Professional Development Center. * Feb. 15: The municipal budget committee hearing on the school budget will be held in the Loynd Auditorium at Kennett High School at 7 p.m. following the precincts and town budget hearings which begin at 6 p.m. * Feb. 16: The budget committee will vote on the school, town and precinct budgets in the Conway Professional Development Center at 6:30 p.m. * March 5: The deliberative session of Conway School District annual meeting will be held in the Loynd Auditorium at Kennett High at 7 p.m. * On April 10, the voting portion of Conway School District annual meeting will take place at the Conway Community Building in Center Conway from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Police restructure their budget; budget committee skeptical

BY ERIK EISELE THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — Police officials waged an uphill battle on Wednesday when they met with the budget committee to explain why their budget is up roughly $300,000 for 2012.

“We did budget a bit differently this year,” police commission chair Theresa Kennett said. The result is a $3.1 million budget instead of the $2.8 million allocation in 2011.

The new budget is based on commissioner Rodney King’s leadership, Kennett told the budget committee, and it is meant to reflect what the department actually spent over the last three years averaged out.

“What we’re trying to do now is make sure we have the money to fund the police department correctly,” King said.

But several budget committee members were skeptical of the department’s figures. Several budget committee members complained the department was padding its budget with money to handle unanticipated retirements or someone changing health plans even though there were no such events imminent.

“You don’t budget on the perhaps,” Karen Umberger said.

Some departments would look at someone retiring or leaving as a blessing, Ted Sares said, an opportunity to recoup some savings for the taxpayer. “Suck it up and make it roll.”

“The problem with that is it translates into compromised service to this community,” Kennett replied.

“I don’t buy that,” Sares said.

The department has been down at least one officer for nearly a year. At one point the department was down three from its full roster of 22.

“Right now we’re just down one,” commissioner King said, but the department is hoping to fill that spot soon and add one more officer this July.

“It just makes it difficult to be down two people the whole year,” chief Ed Wagner said.

“You have my sympathy,” Sares said, but the police department has been consistently “outstanding” even with reduced numbers. There should be no need to add officers.

“Don’t fault us for being good,” Wagner said.

But the discussion wasn’t all about how good the department is. Several budget committee members pressed the commissioners on how they would treat leftover money in their budget should a string of unforeseen retirements or insurance

changes not come to fruition.

“At the end of the year some of these line items don’t occur,” budget committee chair David Sordi said. “Is that money going to be returned to the taxpayer?”

“Baring any unforeseen drastic measure,” Kennett said, “that money will be there.”

That has not always been the case, however. The department spent thousands of dollars on equipment in the final days of 2008 and 2009, equipment that was not in the budget.

That type of moving money from one line to another has “gotten out of hand,” Ray Shakir said.

“There’s no check and balance.”

“You have to understand our concern,” Sordi said. “This is the only opportunity we have to impose a check on what you do.”

“I will not authorize unauthorized spending,” said King, who was not a member of the commission when the spending overages occurred.

That did not satisfy all the budget committee members’ concerns, however. The department’s new budgeting method is the wrong way to go about things, Umberger argued.

“It’s only $1,500 here, $3,000 there,” she said, but those contingency cushions add up. “All of the sudden we’re going to have a tax increase of $10 per $1,000 valuation.”

The police department is just like any other department, she said, and it can’t have all this money “just in case.”

The department looked at what it actually spends, the commissioners said. They have had vacancies in recent years that kept them from going over budget, but that has put a stress on officers and on the community.

The department had to unarrest someone to respond to a more serious call the fall, commissioner Kennett said. “That’s not the kind of service this department wants to provide.”

“The budget is so tight there’s no leeway,” King said. By using the three-year averages, the department can give a more accurate portrait of where the money is going.

“We understand what you’re doing,” Sordi said, but “we may not agree with it.”

“I agree with it,” budget committee member Betty Loynd said.

Sares also came around to the department’s method: “They do manage a tight budget,” he said.

The discussion is far from over, however. The meeting was a chance for the committee to get an understanding of the department budget, not for the committee to adjust it. That will happen over the next two months, and it will undoubtedly result in more debate.

INVESTMENT FOR THE REST OF US

Where is the outrage?

Sky's the limit for DragonFly Aerials

Local photography duo launch new aerial robotic photography business

BY DAVID F. BROCHU Forgive me for bringing up a sore subject, but how have we let the Federal Reserve and the "too big to fail” banks rob us of billions of hard earned dollars – and get away with it?

The biggest fraud in this country’s history has taken place right before our eyes and we have simply accepted the party line that "no one could have seen this coming." After almost 30 years of dealing with investment banks, let me be clear: They see everything! When most of what happens is of your own making, it's easy to know what comes next.

The housing/subprime/banking crisis of 2008 was not born that year. It was actually conceived during the Clinton years when Robert Rubin served as Treasury Secretary. Upon leaving that vaunted post, Secretary Rubin went straight to the C suite of Citigroup.

At the time, Citigroup was building a financial superstore, kind of like a Walmart of finance. There was just one problem: Glass Steagal. Glass Steagal was a Depressionera law that kept commercial banks and investment banks separate. The Depression David F. Brochu had convinced just about everyone that banks that held deposits and banks that took risk didn't mix. Glass Steagel stood as a bulwark against the kind of collapse this country experienced during the Depression.

Now, Bob Rubin wanted it repealed.

Enter Gramm-Leach-Bliley, a bill suggested by and largely crafted by Bob Rubin. With the support of the president, Gramm-Leach-Bliley was passed and the protections of Glass Steagal were wiped out. The post-Glass Steagal period had begun.

Banks of all types could now engage in any manner of financial transactions they wished — and did they ever. The one that concerns us today is the securitization of residential mortgages. Securitization is a fancy word for bundling and selling. Bundling and selling mortgages into bonds (fancy IOUs) allowed the banks to create money out of thin air. Here's how.

Bank of Annihilation (BOA) decides to securitize (bundle and sell) a bunch of mortgages and sell it as a bond (big IOU). Into this pot go a few good mortgages, some not so good and some really risky ones. As long as there are enough good ones (AAA), the agencies that rate these bonds will give it a AAA rating.

Now BOA sells the bond to the Squid, Goldman Sachs. Because this bond is rated AAA, the Squid can leverage (use as collateral) the bond up to 40 or 50 times — meaning that for every dollar invested in this bond, the Squid can make $40 or $50 of loans. Voilá, $1 turns into $40. That's how the banks created money from nothing.

All that money from nothing drove up home prices. Higher prices allowed more borrowing, creating even more demand for money until money was flowing from the banks so fast that they were literally giving it away. When some borrowers couldn't pay it back, the house of cards tumbled. see BROCHU page 13

CONWAY —Roger that, Roger — we have liftoff!

Local professional photographers Roger Marcoux — long an astronomic photography buff — and Heather Leach have recently teamed up to launch an aerial photography business, DragonFly Aerials LLC of Center Conway.

Using DragonFly One, their state-ofthe-art robotic camera platform, the two are able to film extremely smooth, high-definition video from ground level to altitudes of 400 feet.

They developed their flying vessel over the past year, and have been flying it since June. Now they are ready for clients.

This past Martin Luther King Jr. holiday Monday at Cranmore Mountain Resort, Marcoux and Leach gave a demonstration of their R2-D2-like, Star Warsish, six-pronged aerial device for the press as they prepared to launch it to shoot some aerial footage of Cranmore’s east side.

Agape needs volunteers, donations for food pantry construction

BY DAYMOND STEER THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

OSSIPEE — Agape Ministries is asking for more volunteers and cash donations to complete its new food pantry and thrift store.

Agape ministries serves 500 local families per month. Currently, the food pantry and thrift store are based in the Ossipee Valley Bible Church but Agape is in the process of moving into the former Pine Hill Plaza building, which was severely damaged in a fire a few years ago.

About 50 people have volunteered for the construction effort.

"We're just trying to give back," said Bob Akatyszewski of A.K. Construction. "We're helping the people who help everybody else."

This is where the Federal Reserve bank comes in. Having determined that the collapse of five or six key banks would destroy the economy, the People's Central Bank gave our tax money to the biggest charlatans in U.S. history. And the gift of our money continues to this day.

We have all watched as home values have crumbled, the economy has soured and jobs have dried up. Yet the ripoff continues.

I am asked regularly, "What can we do?” First, stay angry! Do not let apathy dull your outrage. Next, vote!

Vote out anyone and everyone that had anything to do with creating or supporting this fraud. If the banks give them money, they’re gone! Lastly, stop playing by their rules. Don't buy what you can't afford. Ignore their low-interest credit card offers. And if your house is massively under water and you can make the payments, maybe it's time to play hardball with the bank.

Volunteer laborers and skilled carpenters are needed, said Nawazelski.

Volunteers are asked to bring their own work gloves and boots.

"Manpower, manpower, manpower is the biggest thing," said Nawazelski.

The project's coordinator, Andrew Meola, said there's also need for about $30,000 in donations to cover the construction costs for materials. All the

The American people didn't drive up and down the value of our homes. We didn't derail the economy. Yet we are on the hook for the $11 trillion in additional debt the country now holds.

It is time someone stands up for us.

So what if any penalty the banks have to pay is really just our own money.

It's probably the only way we'll ever see any of it.

Companies that have helped with the project include: Durkee Crane, MWV E-Waste Recycling, A.K. Construction, Freedom Landscaping, North Conway Incinerator, Shawn's Auto Repair, Silver Lake Home Center, the town of Ossipee, and electrician Ric Medina.

Meola thanked all the volunteers and donors, and God. "Without His grace it wouldn't be done," said Meola.

photographers explained that they had worked since June on the project. Cranmore is their first client, but they are expecting that they will also find a market from the real estate field and customers who might like a different perspective for their wedding shots — say, from overhead their outdoor Eagle Mountain House or Jackson Falls ceremony.

They have also demonstrated the effectiveness of their lithium ion battery-powered, six-propeller device to local search-and-rescue officials.

The camera’s infrared capability, for example, would allow it to be used to search at night for missing persons in the woods.

It is controlled by the two photographers from the ground, who wear goggles that have TV screens that show the images of what the craft overhead is seeing and who pilot the device using a Futaba 2.4 gigabyte transmitter.

It’s all high-tech, and it took several months of effort to assemble, but then again, Marcoux, 59, has always been ahead of the curve as a photographer and computer enthusiast.

“It has several gyroscopes which keep it stable.

It has an electronic magnetic compass, and also GPS. The camera platform is gyro-stabilized so when we are flying and the helicopter tips, the camera stays level,” said Marcoux, who says right see DRAGONFLY page 16

DRAGONFLY from page 14

They say they learned about the technology on the Internet. “We were both intrigued by it; we both got it right away when we saw it. We saw the guy flying it who had designed the circuit boards, and we both said: We can do something with this,” said Marcoux. “Some people saw it as a toy; but we saw it as a business.”

now, he and Leach are running a Sony NEX 5-10 camera on DragonFly One and two others.

“It carries three cameras: This is our point of view camera here, so we have two Sony cameras on it.

We also have a third camera that points back. We also have four radios — this radio here transmits the video down to us, as we are both wearing goggles, and on the goggles we have a heads up display, just like jet fighter pilots with telemetry data on it. There is a speaker on it too, so we get sounds of the motors and the alarms that go off in our ears,” explained Marcoux.

“The goggles also tell us our battery life, our battery draw, so it tells us everything we need to know,” said Leach (a 28-year-old mother whom local photography enthusiasts may know from one of her other day jobs: She’s a manager at Spectrum 1-Hour Photo in North Conway).

Fireworks – from the sky During the demonstration, using their iPad, Marcoux and Leach showed videofootage taken from the air of North Conway’s recent New Year’s Eve fire-

works. The image was steady, as DragonFly One hovered over North Conway’s Main Street to capture the vivid images which Marcoux then set to music.

Other aerial 16 megapixel still images showed the packed parking lot at Settlers’ Green Outlet Village in North Conway on Black Friday, as shoppers flocked to take advantage of bargains on the unofficial kick-off to the busy Christmas shopping season.

don’t want people to think we are spying on them from the sky, because we’re not,” said Marcoux when asked about some of the system’s planned objectives.

“We plan to do a demonstration for them down at the covered bridge on the Kanc [Kancamagus Highway],” he added.

Depending on the equipment that is loaded onto the craft, it has a battery life span of about 14 minutes.

They say they learned about the technology on the Internet.

“We were both intrigued by it; we both got it right away when we saw it. We saw the guy flying it who had designed the circuit boards, and we both said: We can do something with this,” said Marcoux.

“Some people saw it as a toy; but we saw it as a business.”

Added Leach, “There are so many photographers.

This gives us something different.”

Their partnership is based on a love of photography — Leach said. Marcoux brings the technology skills to the pairing, while she handles the business, marketing and marketing.

“We are both professional photographers, so we both go out to the sites to physically do the jobs,” said Leach. “We also do the editing together.”

They are able to time their still shots, just as they do on the ground.

“It’s a very high resolution camera so we can get really high quality shots,” said Marcoux, displaying a still shot he took of the sun setting behind the Moats.

They say the sky is literally the limit.

“A lot of people ask, ‘What can you do with this?’ We say, ‘What can’t you do with it?’ I mean, think of it — search and rescues, golf courses, real estate, events, inspections of power lines, hydroelectric dams. It’s totally endless,” said Leach. “This is like a 40-foot stepladder, when you talk about getting aerial shots of houses and businesses,” Marcoux added.

Rates are set depending on the difficulty of the job.

Said Marcoux, "We have a rate sheet which Heather can quote to customers. But let's just put it this way.

It's cheaper than hiring a helicopter."

The Legal Corner

Edward D. Alkalay

What every association board member needs to know

Being a board member in an association can be a burden. At times you have to deal with association members who do not comply with the bylaws or covenants, neighbor-neighbor disputes, administrative issues and/or land-use issues. I represent many associations in the Mount Washington Valley and have helped association board members work through a wide variety of issues, including drafting or revising covenants and bylaws, writing contracts between associations and vendors, and litigating disputes with individual members, among other things. Over the past year, several associations have approached me with common questions, so I have revised an article that I wrote several years ago detailing issues of which every association board member should be aware.

The role of the association board member will often involve suggesting and/or drafting amendments to covenants and bylaws. A board member will also be responsible for enforcing covenants and bylaws. At times a board member may even have to act as a counselor or mediator to help to avoid disputes between association members or other board members.

The first thing that every board member should do is to review and understand the association documents.

Typically, an association will have a declaration of covenants and bylaws, among other documents. If after reading them, you do not understand a section of the documents, you should seek clarification from another board member. If several board members do not understand them, you should consult with an attorney to determine whether you should amend them. Board members should review, and if necessary, revise these documents yearly, so that any relevant changes can be made at the annual meeting and so they are familiar with the rules and regulations should an issue arise.

Board members within associations not only must understand the association documents but are responsible for enforcing them. This is can be quite difficult.

Some associations rigorously enforce association documents to the letter, while other associations are more lax. The safest way from a legal stand point is to enforce

the documents as they are written. However, at times, this is not practical. For example, people within associations are neighbors, not business partners. So, if someone is violating a provision of the documents, the first step should be simply talking to them about the issue. Many times, that will resolve the issue. If that fails, then a letter should be written from the board of directors to the person violating the provision. Only as a last resort, should a board fine members or seek to enforce the provisions through legal means. Unfortunately, sometimes a violating member will leave an association no choice.

As a board member, you must be available to listen to the concerns of association members. This does not mean blindly following a member’s suggestion and it does not have to take a lot of time. But it is important to remember that being a board member often involves being a good listener. Sometimes simply listening to a neighbor's concern will alleviate that concern.

If you have to affirmatively address any concern, one person never should make decisions. When the board speaks as one voice, the decisions hold more validity, and shield the individual board members from blame by the offending neighbor. It is also important to not take these issues personally. While it is the board’s responsibility to inform members when they are out

of compliance, it should be done with respect. At times violating members can be miserable, unfriendly people. When that happens, board members should never sink to the level of the offending person. Continue to be respectful to that person, and enforce the association rules precisely as they are detailed in the association documents. Again, do not let personality conflict determine a course of action.

The role of a board member is essential to the success of an association. Association boards generally work best when all individuals take a turn participating in the board, rather than a few people dominating the board. However, whether one is a new board member or a long term board member, individuals who give their time and energy to this role should be committed to preserving property values and maintaining a high quality of living within the association. Most of all, they should also be appreciated by members for volunteering their time for the association’s greater good.

Jackson Then and Now program Jan. 20

JACKSON — Ashley Williams will be presenting a program entitled, “Jackson, Then and Now” on Friday, Jan. 20, at 7:30 p.m. at the Jackson Historical Society. She will be using many of the photos taken by her grandfather, Harold Copeland Williams, who was a photographer in Jackson during the mid-1940’s to the early 1960’s.

Ashley will graduate from Roger Williams University in May 2012 with

a Bachelor’s of Arts degree in history and minor in historic preservation and photography. She is descended from some of the original families of Jackson (Meserve and Trickey) and the original settlers of Bartlett (Pendexter).

Plan to come early and enjoy refreshments and some really cool historic exhibits. Also, visitors can take a sneak peek at the upstairs that is being converted to become the Jackson Museum of White Mountain Art. Please keep in mind that the meeting is at the Old Town Hall, which does not have a toilet.

Thanks to everyone who made the Robin Jensen fundraiser a success How do I express the feelings I experienced last Saturday night? Those feelings ran the gamut from elation to deep seeded appreciation to family and friends. As I looked over the crowd of people sitting at the tables of St. Elizabeth Anna Seaton Church hall my heart was filled with joy and humility for those attending. There were neighbors, fellow church members, friends and strangers chatting and eating, contributing, donating to a fund for my ailing daughter, Robin Jensen.

Unfortunately, Robin couldn’t attend because she was in a hospital bed in Bridgton fighting a bronchiole problem. The way Robin’s luck has been going these days it just seemed inevitable that she’d miss the party.

Was this event easy to put together? No, but I had help, boy did I have help. I always shy away from naming names afraid I’d forget someone but heck these people need to be recognized for the simple reason I couldn’t have put on this supper without them. First I went to the master of benefit suppers, my buddy Scott Thomas. Even though he was going through therapy, Scott Thomas laid out the plan for success. After I had decided on a menu I went to Jim Harris and Maureen Reilly at the Stow Corner Store. This pair won the people’s choice at the chili bake off so I thought hey maybe they’d like to take a shot at this event. Fortunately for me, I didn’t have to twist any arms, and they were both on board, love them. We worked on the food we’d need with help from Sue from the Old Saco Inn. Maureen managed to get the rolls donated in addition to those donated from Leavitt’s. With that done Scott told me to contact managers Doug at McDonalds and Dave from Pizza Hut for donations. They both came through for us. Dunkin Donuts at State Line Store came through with coffee. Then, with help, we solicited for butter from Ricky’s in Bridgton, dressing from Jockey Cap, coffee sugar from Rumors and ice from Thriftway in Fryeburg. Creamers were

donated by my family, the Drews next door. Hannaford came through as usual with napkins and cups.

The indivivuals who helped started with Stan Tupaj who did the posters and did the needed cooking. Laura McCabe helped set up the kitchen and did anything needed as did Rachael Kuvaja, Margaret Drew, Jennifer Blood, Laura Blundo, the team of Marino and Karen Lipeatos, Alma Richards, Carolyn Stanhope and Lyn Gallagher and on deserts Nancy Olmsted, Peg Mason and Georgette Hardman. Those who provided desserts were from the Fryeburg Rescue with Barbara Eastman as contact, the Fryeburg/Lovell VFW Auxiliary with Edie Day and Rachael as contacts the United Church of Christ with Nancy as contact and giving individuals. The stove ran out of gas, but to the rescue came Cyndi Broyer and her husband Allan who provide a gas grill to cook the pasta outside.

The silent auction was organized by my granddaughter Shannon Jensen who canvassed most of Conway and North Conway. Covering Maine which included Fryeburg and Lovell was Rondi Stearns Tupaj. Together these two ladies did a fantastic job with a thank you coming form the Jensen and Hurst family next week after we get donors included. Manning the admission table was Jamie Jensen who did a great job as did Rondi and Jackie Stearns on the 50/50. The big signs around town were done by the Thomas family.

Thank you seems so small but how else can you express your love and admiration for the people who stepped up to the plate for you. So to all thank you and bless you for helping Robin, she really appreciated everything done for her. Now that she’s out of the hospital, she’s going to try to gain back her strength, remembering how much people helped her.

The Charlotte Hobbs Memorial Library continues the monthly speaker programs on Thursday, Jan. 26, at 2 p.m. with past board president Robert C. Williams.

Carroll County Democrats offer Fryeburg Academy opera lecture series redistricting update to discuss ‘Enchanted Island’ Jan. 18 Fryeburg Town Column

Redistricting: What’s required, what has been proposed, and what does it all mean? That’s the agenda for Carroll County Democrats’ first meeting of 2012, Thursday, Jan. 19, at Sunny Villa Restaurant, Ossipee.

Rep. David Pierce (D-Grafton 9) of Etna, Democratic State Committee treasurer and a minority member of the Republican-dominated House Redistricting Committee, is to be on hand to outline the redistricting now in progress. Redistricting, the realigning of legislative voting districts, is required every 10 years following a census in order to achieve balanced and fair distribution of representation. It is a contentious process and the current plan, so far as it has been revealed, has already stirred controversy, particularly in proposals to allow city wards and towns to be parceled together.

The Sunny Villa, No. 1020 Route 16, is situated on the east side of Route 16, a short distance north of the Route 28-16 intersection. It is an optional dinner meeting. Those interested are invited to gather at 5:30 p.m. and order from a menu of three or four moderately priced entrees. Or skip dinner and arrive a little before 7 p.m. when County Chairman Bob Bridgham drops the gavel to open the proceedings.

by Scott Adams

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The more fun you have, the more creative you’ll be. Also, the energy and productivity of a group will be stimulated by the spirit of levity you perpetuate with your lively antics.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

People stay where they are when they feel a strong sense of connection with the others in that place. You’ll do what you can to strengthen the bonds between yourself and the people you love.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

You print your energy on everything you touch. Possibly you may print your energy on someone just by thinking about that person. Someone who has been on your mind will call you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

You’ll put yourself out there for those you love. Family affairs may not be so simple to sort out, but your willingness to continue working toward a solution is what really matters.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). If you’re tired, you’ll also be sensitive and too easily disillusioned. So get plenty of sleep. Your faith in others will be restored along with your energy levels.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 18).

You’ll be a dynamo over the next 10 weeks as you advance projects that have to do with writing, speaking and selling. The work you do and the shrewdness of your choices will help you make a considerable and favorable difference in your financial picture. Friends connect you with love and money in June. Gemini and Pisces adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 2, 12, 3, 15 and 19.

Get Fuzzy

ARIES (March 21-April 19). There will be progress on the relationship front. You recognize the value others bring to your life, and you know how important it is to keep good people around you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your creative and intellectual powers will be highlighted. You could be responsible for beginning a tradition or inventing something that will be of great use to your loved ones for years to come.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll be an excellent judge of just how another person would most like to be acknowledged. You will show your appreciation in a purposeful manner, either in public, in private or in writing.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll know you’re surrounded by good people when you find yourself thinking of them when they are not around.

You’ll look forward to seeing them again and will enjoy making plans to do so.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You will feel a strong connection to a fellow fire sign (Aries or Sagittarius), and you will be enriched by what you give to this person. Offer your support, share information and be a good listener.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You will be instrumental in helping another person to grow. You’ll connect this person to people and projects that are out of the ordinary. You’ll build links and a strong sense of community.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll actively seek new input from the world.

For a certain time frame, you’ll open the floor to anyone who wants to communicate with you. Think about what you want to learn and the teacher will appear.

Today is Wednesday, Jan. 18, the 18th day of 2012. There are 348 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Jan. 18, 1862, the 10th president of the United States, John Tyler, died in Richmond, Va., at age 71, shortly before he could take his seat as an elected member of the Confederate Congress.

On this date: In 1778, English navigator James Cook reached the present-day Hawaiian Islands, which he named the “Sandwich Islands.”

In 1871, William I of Prussia was proclaimed German emperor in Versailles (vehr-SY’), France.

In 1911, the first landing of an aircraft on a ship took place as pilot Eugene B. Ely brought his Curtiss biplane in for a safe landing on the deck of the armored cruiser USS Pennsylvania in San Francisco Harbor.

In 1919, the Paris Peace Conference, held to negotiate peace treaties ending World War I, opened in Versailles (vehr-SY’), France.

In 1943, during World War II, the Soviets announced they’d broken through the long Nazi siege of Leningrad. (It was another year before the siege was fully lifted.) A wartime ban on the sale of pre-sliced bread in the U.S. — aimed at reducing bakeries’ demand for metal replacement parts — went into effect.

In 1949, Charles Ponzi, engineer of one of the most spectacular swindles in history, died destitute at a hospital in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, at age 66.

In 1952, Jerome “Curly” Howard of Three Stooges fame died in San Gabriel, Calif., at age 48.

In 1957, a trio of B-52’s completed the first nonstop, round-the-world flight by jet planes, landing at March Air Force Base in California after more than 45 hours aloft.

In 1967, Albert DeSalvo, who claimed to be the “Boston Strangler,” was convicted in Cambridge, Mass., of armed robbery, assault and sex offenses. (Sentenced to life, DeSalvo was killed in prison in 1973.)

In 1970, David Oman McKay, the ninth president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, died at the age of 96.

In 1988, a China Southwest Airlines Ilyushin 18 crashed while on approach to Chongqing Airport, killing all 108 people on board.

In 1991, financially strapped Eastern Airlines shut down after more than six decades in business. Former New York congressman Hamilton Fish Sr. died in Cold Spring, N.Y., at age 102.

One year ago: Chinese President Hu Jintao arrived at Andrews Air Force Base outside Washington for a four-day state visit; President Barack Obama welcomed him with a private dinner in the White House residence.

Today’s Birthdays: Movie director John Boorman is 79. Singer-songwriter Bobby Goldsboro is 71. Comedian-singer-musician Brett Hudson is 59. Actor-director Kevin Costner is 57. Country singer Mark Collie is 56. Actress Jane Horrocks is 48. Comedian Dave Attell is 47. Actor Jesse L. Martin is 43. Rock singer Jonathan Davis (Korn) is 41. Actor Derek Richardson is 36. Actor Jason Segel is 32. Actress Samantha Mumba is 29.

Country singer Kristy Lee Cook is 28.

Help Wanted

by Abigail Van Buren

DAUGHTER JOINING OLD PROFESSION WILL BE ITS NEWEST CASUALTY

DEAR ABBY: My 18-year-old-daughter, “Olympia,” is a beautiful, intelligent young woman who graduated from high school last spring, was accepted to two universities and started her first job. When she lost it recently, she was devastated. Instead of trying to find another one, she decided to turn to prostitution. When I asked her why, she said she doesn’t want to work her butt off for peanuts.

Other family members and I have tried to make Olympia see reason, but she’s determined to do this. I am extremely frustrated with her decision. I have warned her about the dangers she’ll face in that “occupation.” I know she’s of age now and needs to make her own choices, but I’m afraid for her and don’t want to lose her if we have a huge argument over this.

What can I do? -- ANXIOUS MOM IN SACRAMENTO DEAR ANXIOUS MOM: For an “adult,” your daughter’s decision-making leaves a lot to be desired. Prostitution is illegal. It’s not a viable career option. Is she aware that her “line of work” offers no job security and the benefits will last only as long as her looks hold up?

Regardless of the argument that may ensue, let her know that although you love her, you are worried sick about her, and disappointed and furious at her poor judgment because she has far more to offer than what she’s selling. Warn her she’s heading down a path that’s hard to come back from. If she won’t change her mind, then you must accept that your daughter will have to learn her lessons the hard way. But let her know your door will be open to her.

DEAR ABBY: Are you supposed to ignore an acquaintance when you notice she’s in a doctor’s waiting room with you?

(Especially if it’s a specialist’s office that makes a particular

condition obvious to an otherwise non-privy person?)

This has happened to me twice recently. One time, I avoided the acquaintance; the other, I broke the silence and said, “Is that you, So-and-So?” Both times it was awkward. I can understand why someone wouldn’t want to be seen at certain doctors’ offices. Should I have played dumb? -- STRIVING FOR DISCRETION IN NEW YORK DEAR STRIVING: No, you should not have “played dumb.” In the future, you should acknowledge your acquaintance, but refrain from asking questions. Any questions, including, “How are you?”

DEAR ABBY: I’m being married in a few months and there’s still so much to do. The only thing I have decided so far is the date and location. I have gotten so stressed that I have actually passed out.

I keep asking my fiance to help me with decisions and particulars for the wedding, but he says, “It’s your job. You’re the bride.” Then he continues his lazy ways around the house.

How do I get him to help me plan our wedding? -- BRIDE IN A PANIC DEAR BRIDE: How do I get YOU to realize you can’t change your fiance, and that this is the man he will be after your wedding? If you manage to pull this event together by yourself, you will still have a husband who is lazy around the house and refuses to help you even when you become so stressed that you pass out.

Your fiance isn’t the last man on planet Earth. If he doesn’t have any good qualities -- you mentioned none -- you can do better than this.

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

Attitash hosts U.S. Airbag this Friday through Sunday –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– SPORTS –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

BARTLETT – Currently the only east coast stop, U.S. Airbag will have its newest giant airbag set up at Attitash Mountain Resort on Friday through Sunday allowing skiers and snowboarders to utilize this newer freestyle trick training and development product.

The airbag is used as a safety cushion to softly catch riders after a jump, whether it is a beginner level skier or a professional rider. Manufactured by U.S. Airbag in the USA, their new airbag is a 50 foot by 50

foot inflatable with adjustable vents to allow for varying softness. The participants ski or snowboard off a regular jump and land on top of the airbag, allowing their impact force to be absorbed by the inflatable, greatly reducing risk of injury.

“Airbags allow skiers and snowboarders to try tricks that they might otherwise be doing for the first time on snow where there may be a greater risk of injury,” said Frank Hennigan, an Attitash seasonal freestyle coach. “They are becoming a
