Mountain Meisters delayed; Attitash, King Pine open racing leagues

BY TOM EASTMAN THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — Despite snowmaking, the lack of natural snow so far this winter is playing havoc with two of the valley's weekly race series.

On the skinny side of the tracks, Nordic Meisters at Great Glen Trails Outdoor Center has been pushed back a week to Tuesday, Jan. 10.

And on the alpine side of snowsports, the start of Cranmore Mountain Meisters — said to be the nation's largest weekly citizen racing season — has been delayed a week to next Wednesday, Jan. 11.

Meister racers can use their passes to come and ski for free Wednesday on what would have been the first day of racing, according to Meister coordinator Danbo Doucet. see RACING page 8

TAMWORTH — The Blue Loon's buses are now running routes from Wolfeboro to Conway and even out to Laconia. The community was urged to give the Blue Loon a try at a kickoff event for the new arm of the transportation service on Tuesday.

The Blue Loon is a project of Tri-County Community Action Program.

Today (Wednesday), the Blue Loon starts running all-day routes back and forth between Wolfeboro, Ossipee and Conway. Another route will operate twice a day between Ossipee and the transit system in Laconia. The new routes started late because the buses took longer see BUSES page 9

Beauty is in ear of the beholder (NY Times) — What gives a violin made by Stradivari or Guarneri del Gesù its remarkable sound? Researchers have examined the wood preservatives, varnish, even the effects of the Little Ice Age on the density of wood, for anything that might explain the instruments’ almost magical properties.

Claudia Fritz, an expert on the acoustics of violins at the University of Paris, has arrived at a different explanation for the secret. Despite a widespread belief in the old violins’ superiority and the millions of dollars it now costs to buy a Stradivarius, the fiddles made by the old masters do not in fact sound better than high-quality modern instruments, according to a blindfolded play-off she and colleagues have conducted.

“I don’t think there is any secret, except in people’s minds,” she said.

Many tests have been conducted in which an audience tries, usually unsuccessfully, to guess whether a violinist behind a screen is playing a new instrument or an old master. But Dr. Fritz said that to her knowledge, no one had conducted a wellcontrolled study putting the same question to the real experts: violinists.

Happiness is a thing to be practiced, like the violin.”

Iran offers blunt warning to the U.S. over aircraft carrier

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

CAIRO (NY Times) — The Muslim Brotherhood worked to stretch its lead Tuesday as Egyptians returned to the polls in the final phase of the first parliamentary elections since the ouster of former president Hosni Mubarak and prosecutors asked a court to deliver “the harshest penalty” against him.

As the polls opened, some analysts suggested that the party founded by the Broth-

erhood, Egypt’s mainstream Islamist group and best-organized political force, could come away with a clean majority of the seats in the full Parliament instead of the plurality indicated by previous results.

Some estimates indicated that the Brotherhood’s party, Freedom and Justice, started the day with nearly 50 percent of the seats awarded in the first two rounds of the vote. It won roughly

40 percent of the seats allocated by party voting, and a higher percentage of the seats contested by individual candidates. And the final nine governorates voting on Tuesday included the historic Brotherhood strongholds of Gharbiya and Daqahliyya in the Delta, where a number of the group’s best known candidates are running, including the former member of Parliament Mohamed Beltaggi.

Taliban to open Qatar office in step to formal talks KABUL, Afghanistan (NY Times) — Giving its first major public sign that it may be ready for formal talks with the American-led coalition in Afghanistan, the Taliban announced Tuesday that it had struck a deal to open a political office in Qatar that could allow for direct negotiations over the endgame in the Afghan war.

The step was a reversal of the Taliban’s longstanding public denials that it was involved or even willing to consider talks related to its insurgency, and it had the potential to revive a reconciliation effort that stalled in September, with the assassination of the head of Afghani-

stan’s High Peace Council.

It was unclear, however, whether the Taliban was interested in working toward a comprehensive peace settlement or mainly in ensuring that NATO ends its operations in Afghanistan as scheduled in 2014, which would remove a major obstacle to the Taliban’s return to power in all or part of the country.

In a statement, Zabiullah Mujahid, a spokesman for the Taliban, said that along with a preliminary deal to set up the office in Qatar, the group was asking that Taliban detainees held at the American prison in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, be released.

(NY Times) — Iran’s military released a blunt warning on Tuesday that an American aircraft carrier that left the Persian Gulf through the strategic Strait of Hormuz last week should not return.

The warning, by Iran’s army chief, was the latest and most aggressive volley in a nearly daily exchange of barbed statements between Iran and the United States. Iran has just finished ambitious naval exercises near the strait, and it has repeatedly threatened to close the passage — through which roughly one-fifth of all the crude oil traded worldwide passes — if Western powers move forward with new sanctions on Iran’s petroleum exports.

“We recommend to the American warship that passed through the Strait of Hormuz and went to Gulf of Oman not to return to the Persian Gulf,” said Maj. Gen. Ataollah Salehi, the commander in chief of the army, as reported

by Iran’s official news agency, IRNA. “The Islamic Republic of Iran will not repeat its warning.”

Johnson withdraws from Republican Veterans say air station should be primary, will run as a Libertarian reopened to them

BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

Frustrated that he hasn't been able to gain political traction within his own party, former New Mexico governor Gary Johnson has ended his presidential bid — at least as a Republican.

He asked his followers to rally behind Texas Congressman Ron Paul.

On Dec. 28, Johnson announced in a message to his followers that he will no longer be seeking the Republican nomination, but that of the Libertarian Party, which would also put him on a general election ballot in all 50 states.

Johnson wrote in a letter to his supporters that the move was both “a difficult decision – and an easy one,” because of his history with the Republican Party but also because of his exclusion from many debates and disagreements with most candidates. He went on to issue a harsher condemnation of his former Republican colleagues: "Frankly, I have been deeply disappointed by the treatment I received in the Republican nomination process. Other candidates with no national name identification like Herman Cain, Rick Santorum and Jon Huntsman were allowed to participate in the debates. Incredibly, candidates with no executive experience like Michelle Bachmann and Rick Santorum were allowed to participate while I, a successful twoterm governor with a solid record of job creation, was arbitrarily

excluded by elitist media organizations in New York. My appeals to the Republican National Chairman for basic fairness were ignored."

Johnson on Saturday urged his supporters to go with Paul in the caucuses.

"The cause of individual liberty and freedom is bigger and more important than any candidate or campaign," Johnson. "I am hopeful that in urging my supporters in Iowa to vote for Ron Paul in the coming caucuses, a victory for the principles we share can be won."

Johnson stands for shrinking the federal budget almost in half and legalizing marijuana.

He's against gun control, against building a fence along the border with Mexico. He is pro-choice on abortion and he favors the right of marriage for same-sex couples.

In the latest CNN/Time poll, conducted Dec. 21-27 and released Dec. 28, the New Hampshire Primary was shaping up as almost a foregone conclusion.

Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, who has been the front runner all along, was in the lead at 44 percent followed by Paul, 17 percent; former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, 16 percent; former Utah governor Jon Huntsman, 9 percent; forearm Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum, 4 percent; Minnesota Congressman Michele Bachmann, 3 percent; and Texas Governor Rick Perry, 2 percent.

In the poll, people were asked which Republican candidate they think best represents the per-

sonal characteristics and qualities a president should have?

Romney came in at 46 percent followed by Paul, 16 percent; Gingrich, 14 percent; Huntsman, 9 percent; Santorum, 4 percent; Bachmann, 3 percent; Perry, 2 percent; someone else, 1 percent; none/no one, 2 percent; and no opinion, 2 percent.

Romney's lead stretched even further when it came to "which Republican candidate do you think has the best chance of beating Barack Obama in the general election next November?" He was at 63 percent followed by Gingrich, 14 percent; Paul, 7 percent; Huntsman, 4 percent; Santorum, 2 percent; Perry, 1 percent; Bachmann, 0 percent; someone else, 1 percent; none/no one, 3 percent; and no opinion, 4 percent.

In New Hampshire, a total of 1,508 adults were interviewed by telephone using standard random-digit dialing methods on Dec. 21-24 and Dec. 26-27. All respondents were asked questions concerning their registration status and basic demographics, and the entire sample was weighted to reflect statewide census figures for gender, race, age, education and region of the state. 543 likely voters were identified based on each respondent's stated intention to participate in the 2012 primary, interest in the campaign to date, and self-reported voting history. Registered Republicans and registered independents (undeclared) can participate in the New Hampshire Republican presidential primary.

NEW BOSTON — For Dick Gamache and Jean Gregoire, hunting and fishing at the New Boston Air Force Station is one of the perks they’ve earned by serving their country, but officials have closed the base for recreation while the search continues for unexploded ordnance from the 1940s and 1950s.

“We don’t want anyone to explode,” USAF Maj. Cary Belmear said.

Gamache, a retired Army sergeant major from Goffstown, and Gregoire, a retired Army staff sergeant, said the decision to close the base is about discrimination against veterans, not safety. For years, the base was a popular recreation area open to retired veterans and their families and friends. There were campsites scattered around Joe English Pond, plenty of fish to be caught, and some of the best hunting around, according to Gamache.

In 2006, the base was closed to campers during the munitions cleanup. Then, last May it was announced that those who worked at the Air Force Station could use the base for recreation purposes.

“If you’re not part of the good old boys club, you’re not getting in,” Gamache said.

Gregoire said: “Telling the people who served their country that they can’t use the base, but the civilians who work there can, is a slap in the face. If they had applied this [closure] fairly across the board, we would have nothing to complain about.”

From 1942 through the mid-1950s, a large site around Joe English Pond served as a practice range for bombers flying out of Grenier Field — now known as the Manchester-Boston Regional Airport. Many of the bombs dropped on a 1,200-acre area failed to detonate upon impact, and were simply left behind.

The base ceased to serve as a bombing range in 1956 and became a radar tracking station in 1959.

Currently, it is one of eight worldwide Air Force Satellite Control Network Tracking Stations.

In 2005, a large-scale effort to clean up the unexploded ordnance was launched.

Madison taxes on course to double by 2020 To the editor: As we begin 2012, Madison voters have an important challenge ahead.

Madison’s total town tax rates increased 26.7 percent over the last four years.

Our rates per $1,000 of our property’s assessed valuation were $12.49 in 2007 and $15.83 in 2011. This means that a typical Madison home assessed for $250,000 paid $835. more in property taxes in 2011 than they did in 2007. And our tax future looks very bleak unless we all take a role in shaping our future by starting with zero growth budgets as a goal for 2012.

If Madison’s tax rate growth continues at the same rate it did from 2007 to 2011 at an average increase of 6.675 percent per year, the property taxes on our homes will double by 2020 from what we paid in 2010. For example, the same $250,000 home mentioned above that paid $3,495 in taxes for 2010 will likely pay about $7,080 in property taxes in 2020.

Please note that your taxes will double even sooner if

your homes assessed value increases during this time period.

Our voices and our votes can make a difference. There are six important upcoming town meetings that will directly affect your 2012 property taxes. Please mark your calendars and attend. * Jan. 5, 7 p.m., Madison Elementary School, annual school budget hearing. * Jan. 31, 6:15 p.m., Madison Town Hall, budget committee meets with selectmen. * Feb. 6, 7 p.m., Madison Elementary School, deliberative session for school budget. * Feb. 7, 7 p.m., Madison Elementary School, public hearing on municipal budget. * March 13, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., Madison Elementary School, ballot voting (includes school budget). * March 17th, 9 a.m., Madison Elementary School, annual town meeting (including municipal budget and warrant articles).

Please help keep Madison a great and affordable place to live and retire.

$375,000 price doesn’t sound outrageous To the editor: I just finished reading Daymond Steer’s article about the wood pellet heating system for the nursing home. Boy, what a surprise! Has anyone thought to compare the $375,000 price tag against the cost of the propane “backup system” that the nursing home is currently using? It sounds to me like Carroll County occupied the building before it was complete. Is that legal? Didn’t they know what the cost was going to be when the whole project was bid out?

Oh, that’s right, “The Delegation” (aka State Representatives) are behind this. Where

were they at the beginning of this process?

In any case, $375,000 doesn’t sound outrageous, but I’m not an expert. I would like to say, however, that anyone who believes that bringing in another contractor to do this job, is going to be cheaper is insane. Regarding “local contractors,” if all they read is The Conway Daily Sun then they probably need to remain local.

Ah yes, New Hampshire fiscal conservatism at its finest. Spend a buck to save a dime.

LETTERS

Bottom half paid just over 2 percent of federal taxes

Don’t see evidence that stimulus wasted $1 trillion

To the editor: Attempting to overlook inconvenient truths seems to be a full time occupation of the left these days.

Jen Bella’s column of Dec. 30 is the latest example. She hand picks a few instances of families who have suffered misfortune and portrays them as validly representative of the socalled 99 percent. Certainly, many families have suffered as a result of the economic downturn which has been exacerbated and prolonged as a result of the Obama administration’s attempts at achieving the left’s goal of “social justice” and “economic justice,” code for socialist redistribution of wealth. However, blaming the wealthy and their failure to pay their “fair share” is completely off base and just the same old class warfare game the left has always played.

Ms. Bella does what those on the left always do; they use the term “fair share” without ever telling us what they consider that “fair share” to be.

Here is where the truth is inconvenient. According to the National Taxpayers Union, that infamous top 1 percent of taxpayers paid just under 37 percent of federal taxes for tax year 2009, the top 5 percent paid just under 59 percent and the top 10 percent more than 70 percent of federal taxes. The bottom 50 percent paid

To the editor: Reader and writer Maynard Thompson, in his letter titled “Reality doesn’t belong to a political party,” has provided little real information. He has stated “facts,” which simply state the obvious again: our economy is suffering. As usual, he slams everything a Democratic administration has done but provides us with no idea of what would have been better and what the results of a better idea might be.

To try to add weight to his argument he sites testimony by the director of the Congressional Budget Office, Douglas Elmendorf, that the stimulus will have a net negative effect on the growth of the GDP over 10 years.

Here’s what Director Elmendorf said in his testimony in November.

just over 2 percent of federal taxes.

So Ms. Bella, what is your definition of “fair share”? The truth is that the definition of “fair share” will continue to move upward as the left keeps encouraging non-productivity and dependence. The truth is that you could take 100 percent away from the 1 percent and the revenue gained would not come close to covering the deficit that has been created by rapidly expanding federal spending. The truth is that the middle class is declining because more and more Americans are being lured into dependence on the government and away from self-reliance and not because of the evils of capitalism. If we continue to go down the path of punishing achievement with confiscatory taxation, there will soon no longer be enough of the wealthy left to care for an ever-increasing number of nontaxpayers.

With all of its flaws and potential for abuses, capitalism has created more wealth and more opportunity for socioeconomic gain than any system in the history of mankind. The socialist path truly advocated by the “Occupy” movement is the primrose path and has been the road to ruin wherever it has been tried.

I ask reps to leave the marriage amendment as it is To the editor: Mr. Figuly: I hope you and your family have enjoyed a wonderful holiday season. I know ours sure did. As I sat in church this Christmas season, I was swept up in awe and joy, thankful for the opportunity to have so many people brought together in God’s name and the spirit of the season. That feeling has carried through this week with me.

Then, I read your letter on Dec. 28.

The fact that you spew such hatred and vitriol, especially when you do it in the name of Christianity truly saddens my heart. As Christians, are we not called upon to share the good news of God’s love and salvation through Christ with all people?

The key word there is ALL. I wonder just who it is you think you are to cast judgment upon others. Perhaps you have a slightly over-inflated sense of self-importance, but it’s not your job.

Why would anyone even consider learning more about the Christian faith when you and your ilk preach such hatred? When you beat them over the head with the Bible and project an image of such a hateful and vengeful God? When your mes-

sage is that He hates them because of whom they are or who they love?

What does this accomplish, exactly?

We have young people, our children, committing suicide because they are getting the message that there is something fundamentally wrong with them, that they are not worthy of being happy, being loved, or receiving God’s grace. I’ve always been taught that He loves all of us, that we are all equal and precious to Him. If God has an issue or problem with any of us or the way we’ve lived our life, that is between each of us and Him. My husband and I have been married for over 13 years. Our marriage has not changed, nor is it undermined or weakened because the law has changed to allow two men or two women to marry. I truly feel that your efforts would be better spent welcoming people to the Christian faith rather than using it to chase them away. I ask our state representatives to leave the marriage amendment as it is, and not to repeal it.

Perspective, Mr. Figuly, get some.

My prayers are with you, sir.

You shall earn your bread by the sweat of your brow To the editor: To all the liberals who think that the government should give them everything free and all the “occupiers,” let me give you two quotes from the “Good Book.”

“You shall earn your bread by the sweat of your brow” and “the Lord helps those who help themselves.”

‘Nuff said.

The Economic Outlook The Congressional Budget Office expects that real (inflation-adjusted) gross domestic product (GDP) growth will be in the vicinity of 1 1/2 percent this calendar year (2011) and around 2 1/2 percent next year.

Th Congressional Budget Office expects employment to expand very slowly, leaving the unemployment rate close to 9 percent through the end of 2012.

Fiscal Policy Options Policies that would reduce the marginal cost of adding employees or would be targeted toward people who would be most likely to spend the additional income would have the largest effects on output and employ-

ment. Those policies include reducing employers’ payroll taxes and providing aid to the unemployed.

Policies that would give little incentive for firms to hire or invest — such as reducing business income taxes and reducing tax rates on repatriated foreign earnings — would have small effects.

Achieving both short-term stimulus and long-term sustainability would require a combination of policies: changes in taxes and spending that would widen the deficit now but reduce it later in the decade.

Potential Changes in Regulatory Policy In the Congressional Budget Office’s judgment, the economic effects of certain changes in regulatory policies probably would be too small or would occur too slowly to significantly alter overall output or employment in the next two years.

Consistent with his statements regarding short-term stimulus and long-term sustainability, the director testified that IF changes were not made to control budget deficits over the long term, impact on GDP could be a reduction 0.3 percent to 1.5 percent from potential in 2021.

I don’t see any support for Maynard Thompson’s contention that the stimulus wasted a trillion dollars. In fact it seems the testimony supports the direction in which the Obama administration has been moving.

Thanks for supporting the Xplosion Cheer Squad To the editor: The Kennett High Xplosion Cheer Squad would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who made our spaghetti dinner a success. To the Sons of American Legion Post 46 we cannot thank you enough; your volunteers were great, setting up and donating the hall , cooking the wonderful meal which everyone enjoyed immensely and helping sell so many 50/50 raffle tickets. We are glad to see American Legion Post 46 still continues to help our community in any way they can.

We would also like to thank Hannaford’s for their generosity by donating all the delicious garlic bread which everyone enjoyed. Last but not least we would like to thank all the parents who baked such delicious desserts and a special thanks to Rick Breton who

helped to organize all the advertising and donations and put us in contact with Post 46.

Again thanks to everyone and please stop by the Nest to see our new uniforms and watch us cheer on our Eagles to victory.

I found 1,500 species display homosexual tendencies To the editor: To hell with hypocrites, I say.

For example, a letter published Dec. 28, 2011, by Ron Figuly states that marriage and family are between one man and one woman. How many times, I wonder, does that theory allow for divorce? One man, two wives? Three wives? One husband with one wife and two girlfriends? In 2000, there were approximately 944,000 divorces according to the National Vital Statistics System. In 2009, there were 840,000.

Perhaps that substantial 104,000 drop has something to do with homosexuals being allowed to marry in several states? That statement is my opinion, supported by facts.

Oh, about creation that your Almighty made ... See, I took it up with him, and found out that 1,500 species of animals display homosexual tendencies. So if homosexuality is a sin to your God, and Homo sapiens are the only ones allowed to sin, how is it that Roy and Silo the penguins at the Central Park Zoo were displaying homosexuality? Furthermore, they were given an egg, which successfully hatched and they raised it to be a healthy penguin.

I’m not sure what Almighty you serve, but the one I serve loves me anyways.

KENNETT from page one

According to the paperwork filed at the Conway courthouse, Kennett is accused of taking a white 2010 GMC pickup from a Bartlett home just after midnight on Nov. 18 and driving it to his North Conway residence. He was allegedly “under the influence of a controlled drug and intoxicating liquor” at the time, according to the court paperwork.

State Police officials did not return a call requesting more details by press time.

The incident occurred just over two weeks after Kennett himself was the victim of a highly-publicized crime. He was robbed at gunpoint while making a night deposit at the TD Bank on Eastman Road in North Conway.

Conway police arrested Michael J. Rehmert, 32, of Fryeburg, and 21-year-old Joshua A. Riff, of Conway, for that crime. They are both currently awaiting trial.

That incident sparked calls from police officials for more officers after one of the two on-duty officers had to release a man from handcuffs in order to respond to the armed robbery report. Commissioner Kennett said at the time that having a family member as a victim only steeled her resolve to get more officers on the streets.

On Tuesday, commissioner Kennett declined to comment about the allegations involving her son.

Attempts to reach Tanner Kennett for comment were unsuccessful.

He is scheduled to appear in court in Conway on Feb. 29.

The only other complaint against Kennett in Conway Police Department records was in 2004, when he was fined $250 for unlawful possession of alcohol.

“We're encouraging everyone to come to the ticket house and get their passes processed,” said Doucet Tuesday, a cold day that saw Cran-

more and others make snow during the day — a rarity so far this warmerthan-normal, snowless winter.

Cranmore expected to have 24 trails an five lifts open Wednesday.

Meanwhile, in other local racing, King Pine's weekly Pioneer Race Series got under way as scheduled Monday, and the Attitash Race League began its third season as planned Tuesday.

Bretton Woods' Saloon Race Series began Monday as scheduled, and its Fireball Race Series is scheduled to hold its first race of the season Friday under the lights from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.

Free Meisters day today at Cranmore Cranmore's Kathy Bennett said that after the busy vacation week,

delaying the start a week will enable Cranmore to make more snow.

“The first race of the 2012 Mountain Meister Race Series has been moved to Wednesday, Jan. 11, to allow us to continue aggressively continue our snowmaking efforts and take advantage of the return of cold weather,” said Bennett.

It should help those who have not skied yet to get their skiing and boarding legs back while also giving a chance to get their passes, note Doucet and Cranmore Snowsports School director Karen Dolan.

“We're hearing a lot of people tell us that they are glad it's being delayed a week, because they need to get out their on the slopes now that the Christmas vacation week is behind us and

they have time to do some skiing,” said Dolan.

Doucet said racers can get their passes, and then track him down either at Zip's Pub or at the new Kandabar lounge on the upstairs level of the main base lodge Wednesday to get their racing numbers.

An opening-day apres ski party will take place from 4 to 6 p.m. at Zip's Pub and Grill, featuring music by Reklis.

Doucet said a total of 34 15-person teams had registered as of Tuesday, down a few from last year.

“We lose three or four teams it seems per year.

Can't get the new blood, I guess, but we always try! People can definitely still sign up a team or as an individual racer and we'll find a team. see next page

THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Wednesday, January 4, 2012— Page 9

We'll always make room for more,” said the ever-quotable and exuberant race league coordinator.

Among the changes this year?

“The big news is that we will be offering a two-run option — it's down one course and then the other, and we'll take your best time. It's not mandatory — it's your choice if you want to take two runs. We're trying to give everyone more bang for their buck,” said Doucet.

Also new is a ruling that only 12 of each team's 15-racer times will be counted each week. Therefore, if a few members don't show up, it will not hurt their team, notes Doucet.

Weekly results will once again be published in Thursday's Conway Daily Sun. This year's per-racer entry fee has been raised from $75 to a new rate of $100 — but Cranmore is giving skiers and riders extra value for their entry fee, note Doucet and Dolan.

For that fee, racers may race 10 weeks and may ski all day on race days, and participate for no extra cost in two of the Cranmore Meister race clinics, lift ticket included, Tuesdays from 10 a.m. to noon.

Racers will also get to ski three Cranapalooza Saturdays from 2 to 6 p.m., said Dolan, who urged all Meisters and prospective racers to go to the website at www.cranmore.com for further information.

The series is not held during February vacation week.

Meserve fund-raiser Jan. 6 In other Cranmore news, Cranmore will host a fund-raiser for racer and coach Ian Meserve and family Friday, Jan. 6, from 6 to 9 p.m. on the top two floors of the main base lodge.

Meserve is battling cancer.

“A buffet dinner will be served from 6:30 to 8 p.m. There will be a Chinese Auction from 6 to 8 p.m., with some amazing prizes: from gift certificates to restaurants in the valley, round of golf for four, a weekend getaway to the Cape, and much more. Help show this wonderful valley family some love.

Donations will be accepted at the door (suggested $10 minimum per person).

Hey Yeti will play from 7 to 8:45 p.m.,” said marketing director Kathy Bennett.

Those wishing to make tax-deduct-

ible donations can make checks payable to Vaughan Community Services - Ian Meserve Fund, 2503 White Mountain Highway P.O. Box 401 North Conway 03860.

Donations for the auction are being accepted through Jan. 5. They may be dropped off at the group sales office at Cranmore Mountain, 1 Skimobile Road, North Conway, NH 03860.

Call 356-5543 for further information or visit www.cranmore.com.

Nordic Meisters delayed Great Glen Trails officials said the start of the Nordic Meisters series has been delayed until Jan. 10, due a lack of natural snow.

Great Glen has been making snow for its ski school classes but is awaiting more natural snow.

“We have a great course set this year and have reversed both snowshoe loops. Also, the Carl Johnson Memorial Timing Shack has been replaced by the much larger former Hideaway Gift Shop. We recycle here,” notes Great Glen's Nate Harvey.

Competition is held for both classical and skate ski divisions.

MacGillivray tops first week at Attitash In the first week of racing at Attitash, 50 racers competed, according to directors Ed Chapee and Corey Madden.

Top racer was Bond MacGillivray, who DNF'd on his first run but scored the top time of 34 seconds on his second run. He was followed by Madden in 34.35 and Timothy Jackson in 34.90.

Cree Eliason was the top woman racer in 15th place overall with a time of 38.60.

King Pine Series starts at noon The King Pine Pioneer Racing Series is open to teams of five to 12 skiers and riders.

Pioneer racers can ski and ride all day, and the Pioneer course is open from noon to 4 p.m. Timed runs for adults begin at noon, racers under 21 begin at 1 p.m.

The cost for the entire season of Pioneer racing is $68 for an individual or $756 for a team of 12. King Pine season pass-holders are $50 each.

than expected to build and because of an issue with the bidding process in regards to operations of the system.

Healthy ridership numbers will be crucial for keeping the system viable, said speakers on Tuesday. Tri-County CAP confirmed the Blue Loon will cost $280,000 per year to operate.The Blue Loon has four shuttle buses for its door-to-door service and four 16 passenger buses. All the buses were paid for with federal stimulus funds.

The shuttle service has been running for about a year.

"The key to the whole thing is getting people to use the buses," said TriCounty CAP chief executive officer Joseph Costello on Tuesday. "I would challenge everyone in the room to pick one person, if you would, and get them to go on the bus with you for a ride to see what it's all about. I know it's going to be fantastic."

Tri-County Community Action Program's transportation division director Beverly Raymond said to date the door-to-door service has given about 6,700 rides, with a round trip counted see BUSES page 10

–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– GRAND JURY INDICTMENTS ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– OSSIPEE — A Carroll County Superior Court Grand Jury indicted the following people on Nov. 18.

An indictment is a formal charge and is not a finding of guilt.

Jonathan Tanguay, 40, was indicted on 43 counts of possession of child sexual abuse images for alleged incidents in Bartlett on Feb. 18, 2010.

John Skerry, 45, of Rochester, was indicted on six counts of felony extended term aggravated felonious sexual assault for alleged incidents in Ossipee between July 1, 1999 and July 20, 2002.

James Connor, 29, of Carroll County Jail, was indicted on two counts of class B felony possession of narcotic drug, class B felony falsifying physical evidence and class B felony burglary for alleged incidents in Wakefield on Sept. 9.

as two rides. Tri-County CAP will be encouraging the public to learn how to use the system. She added all the buses are wheel-chair accessible.

The public will be able to try the Blue Loon for free until Jan. 13.

People were able to take a short test ride on the buses on Tuesday. Donna Sargent of Ossipee Concerned Citizens and Benny Jesseman, director of the county Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP), both said the Blue Loon offers a needed service and that the buses were comfortable.

"The buses are impressive," said Sargent.

Costello congratulated Raymond and all the other collaborators for their success with the Blue Loon. He explained Tri-County CAP administers 60 different programs in Carroll, Coos, and Grafton counties. Those include programs for fuel assistance, weatherization, Head Start, economic development, and dental health.

"Tri-County CAP is about helping people help themselves," said Costello.

U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen's representative, Chuck Henderson, gave congratulations to TriCounty CAP. Henderson said the Blue Loon's new route will complement its existing door-to-door service, which has been a "great help" to those with limited transportation options. The Blue Loon helps people get to work, go shopping, make medical appointments and attend meetings and gatherings.

The Blue Loon will allow older county residents to function in the community after they lose their ability to drive, said New Hampshire Department of Transportation Deputy commissioner Michael Pillsbury.

"Having those options is key to allowing people to live the life that they want to," said Pillsbury.

The deputy commissioner used a quote from Renaissance philosopher Niccolo Machiavelli to describe how challenging it is to start a new system. He said the public may need to be led by hand into using the Blue Loon.

The public will be able to try the Blue Loon for free until Jan. 13.

'There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things,' said Pillsbury quoting Machiavelli. "Beginning tomorrow, you will be getting a new order of things."

Among the challenges will be to keep the services going, said Pillsbury. He noted that New Hampshire ranks at the bottom of the list of states when it comes to funding public transportation.

Tri-County CAP will be asking voters in 10 towns for $3,000 in support the Blue Loon, said Raymond.

The Blue Loon will also start selling sponsorships.

A representative from U.S. Congressman Frank Guinta's office was unexpectedly absent from the kickoff event on Tuesday morning.

The Blue Loon can be reached at 1-866-7526890.

Fares One way on each route will cost $2. Super Saver Passes will offer unlimited riding on all three routes for $5 a day, $20 a week, and $75 for a month. For example if a rider were to travel from West Ossipee to North Conway it would cost $2 if that person were to travel back to West Ossipee it would cost an additional $2 or $4 for the round trip.

For passengers to travel from West Ossipee to North Conway then south to Wolfeboro, it would be either $2 each route (total of $6) or they could buy a Super Saver Pass for $5. This pass would enable them to also ride back to West Ossipee or back to North Conway at no additional cost. The points of interest that the routes will pass provide the opportunity for people to flag down the bus and get on as long as it is a safe place for the bus to stop, or to ensure a pick up at one of the points, call and schedule it 24 hours in advance.

THE LEGAL CORNER

Legal tips for the new year

BY EDWARD D. ALKALAY At the beginning of each year, I write an article providing suggestions that you can take to provide legal security for you and your family.

This is not an exhaustive list, but contains legal suggestions that everyone — married, single, parent, grand parent, friend, uncle/aunt, etc. — should consider.

Write a Will/Estate Planning. My very first article for this column over five years ago involved the importance of drafting a will and other estate planning documents. Estate planning remains my number one legal recommendation for review at the beginning of each year.

You should create or review your will and power of attorney documents to ensure that the documents are precisely how you want them to be.

Who will be making health care decisions for you if you are unable? Who do you want to take care of your children if you should pass away? Edward D. Alkalay How do you want your assets divided? While nobody enjoys thinking about estate planning, it is absolutely critical. In the best case scenario, you should do it while you are healthy. Ensuring that your intent is clear and that the documents are prepared correctly is one of the best ways to provide for your family both at present and in the future.

Review your financial situation. Another very important task to do at the beginning of each year is to review your finances. Review your debts. Review your assets. If you are in a good position financially, you should consider whether your assets are allocated properly. Are you nearing retirement or just beginning your career? The stage that you are in life, as well as your tolerance for risk, will influence the asset allocation decisions that you make.

On the other hand, if you are struggling to pay your bills, it is even more important to review your finances. There may be ways to negotiate with creditors to alleviate the amount that you pay each month or to lower your interest rate.

The most important thing is not to ignore your debts. If you have debts that you cannot realistically pay, you should consider filing for bankruptcy. This will enable you to stop creditors from calling and may enable you to discharge your debt entirely.

Evaluate your current mortgage. For most people, their home is their largest and most treasured asset. You should look at your mortgage obligation carefully. Are you having difficulty making payments? Can you refinance to take advantage of low rates? Mortgage companies continue to work with homeowners more than ever before. While banks have become much more careful with how they extend credit, many mortgage companies have no desire to foreclose on homeowners, and are willing to work with homeowners to rectify a delinquent mortgage.

Family law issues. Family law issues are often the most unpleasant legal issues when things go wrong. However, there are ways to presee ALKALAY page 15

Thanks in large part to snowmaking, ski areas were able to offer a variety of activities of vacation week visitors. (JAMIE GEMMITI PHOTO)

Lack of natural snow makes for a challenging week for Mount Washington Valley businesses

Restaurants busy; snowmaking saves the day for ski areas

BY MARTI MAYNE

CONWAY — Responses to the annual post-Christmas week survey conducted by the Mount Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce were mixed this Christmas Week.

With a lower-than-usual snowfall heading into the Christmas/New Year’s week, tourism businesses approached the week with concern. While ski resorts pulled out all the guns and offered not only expanded terrain but non-skiing alternatives, the week was difficult for all businesses dependent on natural snowfall.

Based upon feedback from Shoppers took advantage of post-Christmas sales.

M&D hosts Chamber After Hours True to form, “Your Community Theater,” M&D Productions, opened up its doors to the community for the Chamber After Hours last Tuesday, Dec. 20.

M&D hosted 50-plus members who came to network, spend time with friends and enjoy food and spirits.

Cella Mariani played classical music and familiar Christmas carols on her cello, and the 2012 MWV Photo Contest winners displayed their work in M&D’s “Artist of the Month” for guests to enjoy.

Co-owner Mark Delancey whipped up hors d’oeuvres for all of the guests using talent he acquired in a past career as a chef. Each of his appetizers was a tribute to the individual plays M&D showcased throughout the year.

1795 Inn donated all of the decadent desserts from fudge to Almond Amaretto croissants and a chocolate fountain with assorted fruits. Moat Mountain Brewing was there sharing its beer, and wine was offered to guests as well.

Fields of Ambrosia partnered with M&D Productions to create door prizes containing valley coupons, an M&D Christmas CD and a $5 coupon to Fields of Ambrosia with an invite to its open house on Jan. 1.

Don’t forget to get your yearly M&D Productions membership renewed before the new year as well, or treat yourself to one if you’re a newcomer.

As always door prizes and the 50/50 raffle made an appearance, and some great people won some great prizes! * Tom Pizer of Jackson Ski Touring, Cyndi Pariseau of Skicoupons.com, Kathy Bennett of Cranmore Mountain Resort and Josh an M&D Volunteer won individual membership passes for the whole year to M&D Productions. * Bob Carper of Tennessee Log Homes of New Hampshire won a 2012 Mount Washington calendar by Moat Photo and a $25 gift certifi cate to Red Fox. * Carl and Betty Sue Hydren of the TGIF Group won a $50 fift certificate to N.H.

Institute of Agriculture and Forestry won the 50/50 for $100 and a $25 dining gift card to 1785 Inn and Restaurant; an MWV Photo Contest Winner calendar, whose proceeds go to benefit Starting Point, Mother Seton House and The Miranda Leavitt Diabetes Foundation; and an Intervale Lock and Safe spare key storage system. * A gold plated silver necklace from The Penguin went to one lucky raffle winner as well!

The next After Hours will be held at Hillbilly’s Southern BBQ on Tuesday, Jan. 17, from 5 to 7 p.m. The chamber hopes to see you there.

Sweet Maple Cafe now open Sweet Maple Cafe, located in downtown Conway, has all of the ingredients for a breakfast, brunch and lunch cafe! They are grounded in home-cooked meals, all fresh products, locally roasted coffee from The Met, a large breakfast menu, soups and sandwiches and freshly baked items from scones to cakes and pies.

On Wednesday, Dec. 21, the owners of Sweet Maple Cafe shared their passion for cooking with a ribbon cutting.

They offered all chamber members a free sampling of their menu, and at one point there was only standing room and barely any of that. People kept pouring in for chicken salad croissants and other finger sandwiches, fresh salads, homemade tomato bisque and beef vegetable soup and designer cakes. Every employee is a trained barista and can whip up a cappuccino or latte with fresh coffee and milk to complement any dish you may order.

The restaurant also offers glutenfree baking. see CHAMBER CHAT page 17

Terry O’Brien of Red Parka Steakhouse and Pub said Red Parka had a great vacation week, which was on par with last year. “January 1st was a huge night for us, and a bit unexpected since all of our kids went back to school today,” said O’Brien. Linda Rafferty of Rafferty’s Restaurant and Pub concurred saying Christmas week was on par with last year and New Year’s Eve was sold out.

While no records for skier visits were broken this year, the ski resorts chimed in with enthusiasm and pride in the quality of the terrain available despite incredible weather challenges.

Dan Houde, marketing director at King Pine and Purity Spring Resort, said, “Although our numbers were down from past seasons, guests who were at King Pine from Christmas through New Year's raved about the snow coverage and conditions, were pleasantly surprised that the majority of our trails were open and we had wall-to-wall snow from top to bottom."

Houde added, “New Year's Eve at King Pine and Purity Spring Resort were near capacity, and although we weren't able to offer ice skating and sleigh rides, there were plenty of on-snow activities to keep people happy. With our new electric-powered snowmaking system added this year plus new fan and tower guns, we're looking to be 100 percent open this weekend!”

John Lowell, general manager Attitash Mountain Resort, responded to the survey saying, "There was a genuine excitement from our guests and I believe we exceeded their expectations. We had two peaks open from top to bottom and a good variety of terrain. While our numbers were down slightly from last year, we are very optimistic about the remaining season. Snowmaking resumes today and we expect to open up more terrain by midweek."

Thomas Prindle, director of marketing at Attitash Mountain Resort and Wildcat Mountain, said, “With a surge in visits from Tuesday to Sunday, New Year’s Day, Attitash’s total skier visits gained ground to keep our numbers decent, though down, as compared to the vacation week last season."

“The positive thing that I noticed was that guests were very understanding that the weather has been a challenge and we are all doing the best we can,” said Josh Boyd, general manager of Wildcat Mountain.

Ben Wilcox, general manager of Cranmore Mountain Resort, said, “Our snowmakers helped us get trail counts up so that we could still have a decent Christmas vacation week. The exciting news was seeing growth over last year’s Christmas week in our non-ski attractions — tubing, coaster, swing and indoor adventure center."

said that for the period from Dec. 25 through Jan. 1, Cranmore exceeded its expectations given the challenges with the weather, posting a 6-percent increase in revenue over last year for the Mountain Adventure Park (tubing, mountain coaster and swing).

The weather challenges were greater for Nordic centers and snowmobile outfitters dependent upon natural snowfall. Thom Perkins, executive director of the Jackson Ski Touring Foundation told the chamber the cross-country center had an off week compared to expectations yet was up in revenues compared to last year.

Peter Gagne of Northern Extremes Snowmobiling reported a disappointing vacation week. “This was the first time in 13 years we were 100 percent closed for Christmas week with no options to ride,” said Gagne who said the business went into the week with strong advance reservations.

Lodging members reported mixed results from the week. Daisy Stephenson of the Eagle Mountain House Hotel said the week was down due in part to weather and lack of snow on cross-country trails, while Gary Plourde of the Christmas Farm Inn and Spa in Jackson reported the business was up 18 percent over 2010 Christmas week and up 38 percent for the month of December compared to 2010. Plourde credited a strong reputation and an improved economy.

Likewise, Sue LeFave at the Old Red Inn and Cottages reported nearly a 20 percent increase for the vacation week 2011 compared to 2010, citing more vacationing families as the reason for the increase

this year. However, a number of other lodging properties asking to remain anonymous told the chamber that the holiday week was off compared to last year.

According to Dot Seybold at Settlers’ Green Outlet Village, “The week was not disastrous for either shopping centers or restaurants. Our stores had good sales mid-week, all the gift certificates and gift cards came rolling in,” said Seybold. “We had such a good early December I am confident we will end the year ahead of last year."

By all accounts, those visiting the valley appeared to be unfazed by a lack of snow.

“No one seemed to be unhappy with the lack of snow,” said Red Parka Pub's Terry O’Brien. “God bless the snowmakers! We heard great things about the ski conditions, tubing opportunities, shopping and all of the other fun stuff we have to offer."

Linda Rafferty echoed O’Brien’s comments, saying, “We welcomed lots of families and people in general just enjoying being in the village to eat, shop and enjoy the milder weather for walking around."

Ski resorts and cross-country centers remain optimistic that continued cold temperatures, snow and snowmaking will allow additional terrain to open throughout January, and winter has made its way to Mount Washington Valley in full force with a busy calendar of events, races and great on and off the slope fun.

vent, or at least mitigate the difficulties. If you will be getting married in the next year, you may want to consider a prenuptial agreement. Prenuptial agreements especially make sense for people who are getting married for the second time and who have children from a first marriage.

If you are divorced or separated, you should review the court documents to ensure that there has been no change in your circumstances and that all of the payment information is correct (i.e. child support, alimony, etc.). In addition, you should make sure that all of your custody times and arrangements are in order for the upcoming year.

Everyone’s legal and financial situation is different. The above listed items are just a few examples of things that should be reviewed. You may have other legal issues that require attention. Over the next several months, I will write new articles providing more details on some of the topics listed above. However, reviewing your legal, financial and personal information at the beginning of the year is extremely important and can prevent unnecessary stress and costs in the coming year. A simple review enables you to determine where you are at present and how to best plan for the future.

Margarita Grill, Local Grocer are 'environmental champions' GLEN — The New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services in partnership with the New Hampshire Lodging and Restaurant Association recently declared Margarita Grill restaurant an “Environmental Champion” under the Sustainable Restaurant Program.

Margarita Grill is the first restaurant in the White Mountain region to achieve Environmental Champion status, the highest level in the program.

Margarita Grill, a family restaurant, has been owned and operated by two generations of the Rober family.

“Our emphasis has always been on hearty, flavorful food made using the freshest seasonal ingredients and whenever possible, we use produce grown locally and hand-selected by our chefs. We develop our own recipes, so you'll find our dishes each have a twist unique to Margarita Grill,” notes Corinne Rober.

The Robers and staff have formed a “green team” that meets regularly to discuss ways to continuously reduce the restaurant’s impact on the environment.

Team members have made changes to reduce energy consumption such as lighting upgrades and replacing older equipment with more energy-efficient models.

Water consumption has been reduced by installing low-flow devices and locating rain barrels at the front of the building to catch the water from the roof. The rain barrels serve two purposes: storm-water runoff is reduced and the water captured in the barrels is

used to water all of the landscaping. Waste is reduced through recycling, purchasing in bulk, eliminating Styrofoam containers and minimizing the use of plastic containers/wares.

The restaurant uses Green Seal Certified cleaners, non-dioxin bleached paper towels and an environmentally-sensitive approach to pest management called “integrated pest management” to reduce the amount of chemicals used by the restaurant.

Margarita Grill sets itself apart from the average restaurant in its commitment to purchasing from local farms. Organic produce, dairy and meat are obtained from local farms when available and seafood is purchased in accordance with sustainable seafood guidelines for the Northeast. Buying from local sources not only supports the local economy, it reduces transportation impacts that contribute to air pollution.

The Robers are also committed to giving back to the community. They hosted an event Dec. 15 which featured art and products from local artisans with proceeds benefiting Angels and Elves. *** The Local Grocer has also been recognized as an Environmental Champion under the New Hampshire Sustainable Restaurant Certification Program.

Organic vegetables, herbs, and grass-fed meat from the Local Grocer's own Mountain Flower Farm and other local farms are served in the cafe and sold in the deli and market. The Local Grocer uses only cleaning products with no harmful chemicals and with a vast knowledge of herbs is able to use herbal deterrents for see next page

pest management. Owners Heather Chase and Russell Van Deursen have implemented many energy- and water-saving initiatives and limit their trash waste to only one or two 50-gallon barrels per week. Everything else is recycled or composted.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. generates 34 million tons of food waste each year which, if sent to the landfill, decomposes to create methane — a potent greenhouse gas. Restaurants and grocery stores are large-scale generators of food waste.

“The Local Grocer takes great care to mini-

mize waste in the food preparation process and the little waste they do generate is composted on their farm, thus closing the loop in the food cycle. The owners and staff set a great example for reducing impacts on the environment,” said Melissa Zych from the Department of Environmental Services’ Pollution Prevention Program, working in partnership with the New Hampshire Sustainable Lodging and Restaurant Program.

An Environmental Champion designation for restaurants indicates that the restaurant has implemented sustainable initiatives and has passed a sustainability audit. For more information, visit nhslrp.org.

DILBERT

by Scott Adams

By Holiday Mathis general excitement about life will stir up something brave in your soul. You’ll need to put all that energy into something, and today brings an endeavor just risky enough to appeal to you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You are changing, and the environment around you will transform to meet your new needs. What brought you pleasure yesterday is not the same thing that will bring you happiness in the future.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It takes strength to move a relationship forward, but it also takes vulnerability.

Being willing to let others lead once in a while shows both qualities at the same time.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

There’s something you need to know, and you’ll set a kind of trap to try to get the information you want. You may not realize exactly what you’re doing. So many of the games people play happen on subconscious levels.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Someone with a similar background is the most fun person to be around today. No matter how far away you are from where you grew up, you’ll feel like you’re home.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 4). This year your creativity will be met with inspired action, and the result will be explosive success. You’ll build a bridge to someone’s heart this month. March is your chance to trade in “old baggage” for shiny new luggage -- and you’ll take a trip to celebrate, too. New professional situations open up in July.

Sagittarius and Taurus people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 20, 14, 43, 6 and 28.

Get Fuzzy

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You started out working hard because you liked a certain person and you wanted this person’s approval. Now you just work hard because it feels right to do it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll feel uncharacteristically impatient. Your diligence will make a difference, though not in one day. Commit to doing the same action for three weeks, and you’ll be amazed at where you wind up.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You feel protective, recognizing how fragile people really can be. Your conscientiousness extends not only to your loved ones, but to people you don’t even know.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll get the kind of rare challenge that focuses your thoughts. Instead of being reactive and critical, you’ll be active and creative, bringing all your knowledge to bear on the situation.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Something that now requires a great deal of discipline to accomplish will require far less discipline once you’ve established a series of habits to support the activity.

Keep going.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You may be in a position to report to another person about your work, but no one is really the boss of you. You’ll take charge and feel in control of what you will or won’t do.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Action doesn’t have to be momentous and revolutionary to create progress. What occurs out of consistent, small steps will be remarkable, meaningful and crucial to the big picture.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your

THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Wednesday, January 4, 2012— Page 19

Today is Wednesday, Jan. 4, the fourth day of 2012. There are 362 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Jan. 4, 1951, during the Korean War, North Korean and Communist Chinese forces recaptured the city of Seoul (sohl).

On this date: In 1821, the first native-born American saint, Elizabeth Ann Seton, died in Emmitsburg, Md. In 1861, Alabama seized a federal arsenal at Mount Vernon near Mobile.

In 1896, Utah was admitted as the 45th state.

In 1904, the Supreme Court, in Gonzalez v. Williams, ruled that Puerto Ricans were not aliens and could enter the United States freely; however, the court stopped short of declaring them U.S. citizens.

In 1935, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, in his State of the Union address, called for legislation to provide assistance for the jobless, elderly, impoverished children and the handicapped.

In 1964, Pope Paul VI began a visit to the Holy Land, the first papal pilgrimage of its kind, as he arrived in Jerusalem.

In 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson outlined the goals of his “Great Society” in his State of the Union Address.

In 1974, President Richard M. Nixon refused to hand over tape recordings and documents subpoenaed by the Senate Watergate Committee.

In 1987, 16 people were killed when an Amtrak train bound from Washington, D.C., to Boston collided with Conrail locomotives that had crossed into its path from a side track in Chase, Md. In 1990, Charles Stuart, who’d claimed to have been wounded and his pregnant wife fatally shot by a robber, leapt to his death off a Boston bridge after he himself became a suspect.

One year ago: President Barack Obama signed a $1.4 billion overhaul of the nation’s food safety system.

Today’s Birthdays: Actress Barbara Rush is 85. Football Hall-of-Fame coach Don Shula is 82. Actress Dyan Cannon is 75.

Help Wanted

by Abigail Van Buren

1 CALL DOES IT ALL

SISTER’S AFFAIR WITH BOSS COSTS BOYFRIEND HIS JOB

DEAR ABBY: My long-distance boyfriend, “Wayne,” moved here two years ago to take a job working for my twin sister “Kim’s” mentor. After five months on the job, Wayne was terminated and was replaced by -- my sister! To say there are hurt feelings is an understatement.

Wayne and I were unaware that Kim had been having an affair with this much-older married father of two. He has now left his wife and kids and is living with my sister. Kim is enjoying her job as his assistant and reaping all the benefits of his long-established business.

I’m devastated by the betrayal. It frustrates me that after months of deception, my twin is benefiting from a massive indiscretion that ended a marriage and destroyed a family.

We were always close, but I don’t want to include her lover in any upcoming events in my life. She says they’re a “package deal.” How do I move past this -- or should I? -- DECEIVED

BY MY EVIL TWIN DEAR DECEIVED: I’m not sure what “upcoming events in your life” you’re referring to, but if they include Wayne, his feelings should also be taken into consideration. How angry and resentful will he feel if he’s forced to interact with the man who fired him so he could be replaced by your sister?

I can’t decide for you how you will work this out, but I will offer this advice: For the present, make no hard and fast decisions. This could play out in any number of ways. Her boss could marry her, or he could return to his wife and family. Wait and see what the future brings. It’s often full of surprises.

DEAR ABBY: I am a single adult female. I have a neighbor and friend I’ll call Kurt. He has been terrific to me. He has

given me things, taken me out a few times and seems very caring. I enjoy the time we spend together and I have developed romantic feelings for him. My problem is Kurt is gay.

I know I can’t have the kind of relationship with him that I’d like to. Once, we spent the whole day together and I spent the whole time wishing it had been a real date. It seems like whenever we go out together I don’t know how to handle the situation. Because he’s a neighbor, I run into him a lot. I could use some advice on this. -- SO NEAR AND YET SO FAR IN TEXAS DEAR NEAR AND FAR: You and Kurt appear to be compatible on many levels, but you must accept that as wonderful a person as he is -- he cannot give you the romantic love you’re looking for. He isn’t “wired” that way. Wishing, hoping and dreaming won’t change that -- but it WILL waste your time and prevent you from looking for eligible men.

You need to put the brakes on this friendship until you have regained your balance and/or have met someone else.

And tell Kurt why, so his feelings won’t be hurt. I’m betting it won’t be the first time he’s heard it.

DEAR ABBY: Is a grandmother being disrespectful when she purposely continues to misspell her 12-year-old grandson’s name on cards and gifts? -- HIS NAME IS JOE! DEAR H.N.I.J.!: Not knowing the grandmother, I can’t say for certain. She may be letting you know she’s disappointed you didn’t name the boy after his grandfather “Morris.” She could also be illiterate or somewhat demented, but I’m betting she’s letting you know she’s not happy with the name you chose.

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

Happy new year to all. Hope we all have a year of peace and joy.

The patrons of the Charlotte Hobbs Memorial Library should congratulate themselves for their major support of the library. Those that have donated to the annual appeal of the library realize that our library is a gem in the state of Maine. The library will be sending out a survey to find out what’s being done right and what can be improved. It’s hoped that all will take the time to fill them out and return them so the library board, the library director and staff can better serve the needs of the community.

The following children’s programs with Miss Liz will resume on Jan. 9: Preschool Storytime Mondays at 10 a.m., mouse paint storytime for kindergarten, first and second Mondays from 2:45 to 4 p.m. and Charlotte’s Wed for grades three and up on Wednesdays 2:45 – 4 p.m. For those children coming to the Library from school, they must have a note from home to attend. Preschool for the younger children must have a care giver present. If school is canceled then the library program is canceled. If it snows during the day call the library to see if any program has been canceled.

which continues to be a huge concern. Robin was undergoing radiation treatment five days a week in Lewiston to prevent any microscopic cancer cells from traveling anywhere else in her body. Due to preexisting conditions her body was not strong enough to handle the treatments and as of December they were discontinued.

Robin had always been a hard worker with a willingness to help anybody she can. Because of this need she became an active member of the Fryeburg rescue mainly driving the rescue unit.

Her chosen profession is providing home health care, mainly for seniors, but because of her present physical condition it’s impossible for her to work. Without an income the bills piled up so friends and family are helping by putting on a benefit dinner.

The only event keeping Robin going was having her son Michael home from boot camp for the holidays. The menu is ziti with meat and meatless sauce, salad, bread, dessert and beverage. There will be a 50/50 and silent auction. The donation for dinner is $8 for adult and $4 for children under 12. See you there.

The Charlotte Hobbs Memorial Library Adult Book Discussion Series “Defining Wilderness: Defining Maine” continues on Jan. 9 at the library at 1 p.m. This series was developed by historian Candace Kanes for the Maine Humanities Council in which the Maine wilderness is examined by many people who turn around and have written about their experiences. In the series the many questions raised concerns of how wilderness is defined, how humans and nature interact, how conservation and natural ecology are related and peoples own experiences with the natural wilderness. The January discussion will focus on “Campfires Rekindled’ by George I Kephart moved to Maine to work as a forester. His remembrances of logging in the Maine woods are both informative and humorous. All books are available at the library.

On Saturday, Jan. 14, there will be a benefit dinner for Robin Jensen of Fryeburg at the St Elizabeth Ann Seaton Church in Fryeburg from 5 to 7 p.m. She was recently diagnosed with a rare type of cancer called Adrenal Cortical Carcinoma.

Raymond, born June 8, 1950, was the fourth of nine children born to Sidney and Helen Collomy. He was a member of the first graduating class of Sacopee Valley High School in 1968, and went on to obtain his Bachelors of Science and teachers' certificate from University of Maine, Portland-Gorham, in 1974.

Although Raymond never taught professionally, he had a warm and engaging demeanor, a gift which enabled him to connect with even the shyest of children.

During his lifetime, Raymond had several careers.

He started out as a carpenter who helped build many fine homes and businesses between Kezar Falls and Freeport.

Afterwards, he became a well-liked and dependable counterperson at NAPA Auto Parts of Kezar Falls and Wolfeboro. He worked in retail auto parts for several years before he eventually joined the staff of Dearborn Precision Machine in Fryeburg.

Prolonged illness forced Raymond to retire after more than 20 years of employment.

He is survived by the following devoted family members: his wife of 26 years, Blanche; mother, Helen; sister, Janet; brother, Mike and his wife, Patty; brother John and his wife, Judy; sister, Gloria Hermance and her husband, Ed; sister, Catherine Berg and her husband, John; brother Donald and his wife,

Rhonda; and sister, Lorraine Myers; father- and mother-in-law, Richard and Doris Rimmer; brother-in-law, Scott Rimmer, as well as many nephews and nieces and their children.

He also leaves behind one collie, Ladybug, and one Sheltie, Fawn, as well as two cats, Ollie and Robbie, who he and Blanche considered to be their kids.

Raymond was predeceased by his father, Sidney, brother, Bill, and brother-in-law, Bob Myers. Raymond always wanted to let his brother, Donald, know of his indebtedness to him. In 1999 Raymond became benefactor to Donald's life sustaining bone marrow. Without the transplant, the "gift of life," Raymond would have succumbed to disease 12 years ago. In Raymond's eyes Donald was always a hero of gargantuan proportions.

Raymond had a great appreciation and respect for the outdoors and all of its many inhabitants. He also enjoyed spending time with family and friends, interacting with his pets, hunting, talking about vintage cars, and tending to the grounds and vegetable garden surrounding the beautiful house he built.

Despite much pain, Raymond never complained. He touched the life of many people with his smile, generosity and trademark sense of humor until the end. Friends and family are invited to a memorial service at Calvary Bible Church, 348 South Hiram Road, Hiram, Maine on Saturday, Jan. 14, between 1 and 3 p.m.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Raymond’s memory may be made to either Gosnell Memorial Hospice House, 11 Hunnewell Road, Scarborough, ME, 04074 or to Harvest Hills Animal Shelter, 1389 Bridgton Road, Fryeburg, ME, 04037.

TGIF Book Group meets Jan. 5 to discuss 'West with the Night' CONWAY — The North Conway Library’s TGIF Book Group will read “West with the Night” by Beryl Markham and discuss it this week.

Although the group usually meets on the first Friday of each month, this month members will meet on Thursday, Jan. 5 at 10:30 a.m. at the library.

This is an open group. Everyone is welcome, whether or not you are a library member and whether or not you have finished the book.

West With the Night is the 1942 memoir by Beryl Markham, horse trainer, bush pilot, and history making aviatrix, chronicling her experiences growing up in Kenya in the early 1900s, leading to a career as a bush pilot there. It is considered a classic of outdoor literature, and in 2004, National Geographic Adventure

Fryeburg Town Column

ranked it number eight in a list of 100 best adventure books.

Beryl Markham grew up in the wilds of Africa where her father raised racehorses on their farm. She followed in her father's footsteps by becoming the first woman in Africa to receive her horse-training license.

Later on, Markham learned to fly and became the first person to fly east to west across the Atlantic from London to North America.

The TGIF Book Group is an open book discussion group that reads both fiction and nonfiction and meets on the first Friday of each month at 10:30 a.m. at the library in North Conway Village. All are welcome.

Contact the North Conway Library at 356-2961 for more information or to reserve your copy of West With the Night.

Eaton Town Column

Nancy Williams 447-5635

Saying goodbye to Robert French and Helen Dahl

Happy new year to everyone. I hope 2012 brings you more happiness, better health, and a lot of love. I don’t usually do New Year’s Eve resolutions, but this year I would like to get in some strength training and get back to target shooting. Other than completely cleaning up my house, I’ll be working on good vibes. I hope everyone had a great and safe New Year’s Eve. Sadly, in December, along with Harry Fowler at the end of November, two major townspeople in town passed away, Robert French and Helen Dahl.

It seems like I’ve known Robert forever, since his daughter Carol Perk and I were in the same class in Kennett High School and they lived across from the Eaton Village Store. I remember his wife Mary and their five children, two of whom predeceased him. Back in the early days of chainsaws, Robert was very instrumental in cutting the trees on Foss Mountain many years ago to plant the blueberry fields we have now. He was very much an outdoorsman, loving to fish, hunt, camp, snowmobile, and especially chop wood. How he loved his woodpile, his chainsaw, his wood splitter and his Kubota tractor. I enjoyed his visits into the Post Office to get his mail until his knees prevented him going too far. My deepest condolences to Carol and Bill, Frank and Pat, and Linda. He will be sorely missed by us all.

Helen Dahl grew up in Conway and was the manager of Charles O. Dahl Insurance Agency prior to World War II. During the war she was an officer in the Navy. She later returned to Conway as a partner with her sister Ruth of the insurance agency, until her retirement. Even though Helen lived in a retirement community in Shelburne, Vt., for part of the year, her love was coming back to her land in Eaton, which was really her home. I loved seeing her come in for her mail, tall, statuesque, and beautiful with the loveliest white hair. She was always friendly and fun, and I enjoyed talking with her. My deepest condolences to her nephew, Robert Cote, and her very special friends, Elizabeth and Robert Hatch. She will definitely live on in our memories of such a fine

lady.

I hope many of you were able to attend the open house on Saturday at Polly and Jerry Vanasse’s new home on Glines Hill Road. They were able to salvage the front door, all the granite pieces, one sink, and other items, which they have built around. The result is a sunny, warm, inviting, friendly atmosphere where you feel welcome the moment you walk in. I love what you two have accomplished in such a short time, and I will be a fixture at this new house whenever you’re up here. Congratulations to you both on a job very well done.

What strange weather we have been experiencing lately. Rain and ice in December and January?

What’s up with that? Two weeks ago I slipped on the ice right outside my garage and cracked a couple of ribs. I am happy that we finally got some snow, but where is it now? It looks more like April outside, but it is supposed to get very cold. Let’s just get back to good old winter with snow, cold temps but not frigid, and no ice. That’s my New Year’s resolution for the weatherman.

Kevin Flynn and Jen Kovach had a Christmas Eve party with a twist: everyone was asked to contribute chewable children’s vitamins for a town in Honduras where Kevin and his sister go every year to try to make a difference for the children. This year everyone was so generous and they collected 8,500 vitamins, enough for 23 kids for one year. Congratulations to Kevin and Jen for this great endeavor and thank you to all who contributed. This really is “Helping Others Prospers Everyone.”

Huge Thanks to Marilyn Verney and her granddaughter Christina and everyone else who helped put on a most delicious New Year’s Eve dinner party for eight. The antipasto dish was wonderful, especially the Parmesan Reggiano cheese with oil and Balsamic vinegar. Caesar salad is always the best, and then the pasta and sauce was perfectly delightful. Of course, the ice cream with chocolate sauce topped it off. Great job.

Pancake Breakfast at Community School Jan. 14 TAMWORTH — Students at The Community School on Bunker Hill Road in South Tamworth will be cooking up stacks of pancakes non-stop from 7:30 to 10 a.m. next Saturday, Jan. 14, to raise funds for spring trips to Washington, D.C. and Costa Rica.

Support their efforts and join us for breakfast in the school’s cozy farmhouse-style kitchen. As an extra “sweet treat” for breakfast attendees, all tickets will be entered in the special January feature, a skier’s raffle featuring winter sports items.

For breakfast, people can choose their preference: whole wheat or white pancakes, plain or blueberry. The toppings buffet features plenty of options like delicious local maple syrup, fresh fruit, yogurt, whipped cream

and butter. Children under three years old eat for free.

Pancake breakfast fundraisers are scheduled for the second Saturday each month January to March. Tickets can be purchased ahead of time from Community School students or at the door.

The Community School (TCS) is a small independent day school for sixth through 12th graders, serving families in central New Hampshire and neighboring communities in Maine. Founded 22 years ago in Sandwich, The Community School is known for its innovative experience-oriented curriculum and focus on travel-based learning. For more information call 3237000 or visit www.communityschoolnh.org. Applications for 2012-2013 now being accepted.

Come by the library to pick up a copy of the film schedule or log onto freedomlibrary.org. Thanks to Terry Leavitt for designing the flyer and Peg Scully for writing the movie blurbs.

Mark your calendars, the preschool storytime is taking a two-week break and will start up again Wednesday, Jan. 18. Our storytime is lots of fun for children ages 2 to 5 with music, action rhymes, stories, crafts and more. The more, the merrier, so please help us spread the word to families with young children in Freedom and surrounding towns who may not know of this great resource.

Did you get a Kindle or Nook for Christmas? They are great fun but if you're used to borrowing books from the library, it will be a shock to your budget when you start buying e-books for your new device. Fortunately, there is a frugal alternative. The Freedom Public Library has gotten together with many libraries across the state to purchase audiobooks and e-books for free download to our patrons. For more information, go to the library's downloadable books web page. If you need help with your e-reader, call Elizabeth at the library at 539-5176 or e-mail her at freedomlibrary@roadrunner. com to schedule an appointment for one-on-one help with borrowing books from the downloadable collection.

News from the Freedom Village Store: Bonnie Burroughs will start the New Year as the Freedom Village Store’s artist of the month and the last artist of the month, until our second home people come back after Memorial Day. If you don’t know Bonnie’s art, you will be surprised at her incredible photography as well as her clever jewelry. A reception will be held for Bonnie on Friday, Jan. 27 at 6 p.m. to which all are invited. There was no drawing of the 50/50 last week, due to the store being closed on Christmas Day. This week’s drawing will be doubled.

The Freedom Library will exhibit the works Nan White and Cindy Spencer during January and February.

Nan and Cindy began their friendship through their mutual interest in art. Nan passed away last week and this was to be the very first time that Nan and Cindy had a duo exhibition so this is kind of a special show. Nan began painting in watercolor in the early 1950s when she was in her late thirties. She was known for her landscapes which she described simply as "unfussy" and won many local honors for her work. Their work can be seen Jan. 3 – Feb. 29 at the Freedom Public Library. Library hours are Tuesday 2 to 7 p.m., Wednesday 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Thursday 2 to 7 p.m., Friday 12 to 5 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

There is a video of the Christmas Eve Service to loan. Many remarked that it was exceptionally beautiful this year. Call the church office at 539-6484 if you would like to borrow the video.

LOVELL from page 23

The Mount Washington Lodge No. 87 Free and Accepted Masons continues helping out the area communities with fund raisers.

They will be holding a Complete Breakfast Buffet on Sunday, Jan. 15, from 8 to 11 a.m. to benefit the Mother Seton House for pregnant women, mothers and babies.

The Masonic Lodge is above the North Conway Village Movie Theater. The price for breakfast is a donation at the door and each person is asked to bring and canned good for a food pantry.
