ALBANY — Police investigators spent Monday in Golden Oaks mobile home park, investigating the beating of a small child who was so badly hurt the toddler required an emergency trip to Portland.

The two-year-old’s condition “was critical,” Carroll County Sheriff Chris Conley said, when the first report came in shortly after 9 a.m. The child’s mother had

brought the child to the hospital, he said, and “he was evacuated to Maine Medical Center.”

“We don’t know the specific injuries,” Sheriff Conley said, because the child has been in the hands of medical personnel since that initial report. They do know, however, “it’s multiple trauma to the entire body.” see TODDLER page 12

Bobcat tractor stolen in Freedom

BY DAYMOND STEER THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

FREEDOM — Police are trying to locate a Bobcat skid-steer that was apparently stolen on Wednesday night from Dig & Doze LLC on Porter Road.

A witnesses told police that at around 8:15 p.m., a large dark colored pick-up truck, possibly a Chevrolet or Ford, pulled into Dig and Doze’s yard. The truck may have had a lift-kit installed in it. Then someone got out of the truck and into the 2003 Bobcat skid-steer model S175. That suspect drove the Bobcat along Route 25 East towards Maine, according to police. see BOBCAT page 12

CONWAY — Selectmen approved a $9.1 million 2012 budget on Tuesday, an increase of $119,823 over last year. It will now go to the budget committee for review before it heads to the voters for amendment and approval this spring.

The police, highway, solid waste departments all had increases of more than $50,000, according to the draft summary town manager Earl Sires passed out.

The police department’s increase is the largest: $310,073, or 11 percent. “This increase is largely due to labor costs,” the summary reads, “although a number of operating lines increase as well.”

The solid waste department budget is going up $101,009, or 15 percent, again tied to staffing. The department is looking to fill an open full-time position and restore a part-time position that was eliminated in the 2011 budget.

Va. warned of ‘hurdles’ on uranium mining

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

Tonight Low: 17 Record: -14 (1980) Sunset: 4:08 p.m.

WASHINGTON (NY Times) — The National Academy of Sciences delivered a long-awaited report on uranium mining to the Virginia legislature on Monday, warning that the state faced “steep hurdles” for safely mining and processing the nuclear reactor fuel.

The report capped almost a year of research by an academy panel to study the pitfalls and challenges that Virginia would face should the General Assembly decide to lift a 1982 moratorium on mining uranium oxide.

The legislature commissioned the $1.4 million study to provide a thorough and unbiased backdrop for debate over whether to lift the moratorium. The general assembly asked the panel to study practices in the industry, health and safety issues, and regulatory considerations for the state. The report did not reach any conclusion as to whether Virginia should lift the moratorium; in fact, the body was specifically barred from doing so by the legislature.

However, the report said that if the moratorium were lifted, it would take at least five to eight years for uranium mining to commence to allow time for the state to write regulations from scratch, institute health and environmental safeguards, and allow for public input.

Arrest order for Sunni leader in Iraq opens rift BAGHDAD (NY Times) — Iraq’s Shiite-dominated government was thrown into crisis on Monday night as authorities issued an arrest warrant for the Sunni vice president, accusing him of running a personal death squad that assassinated security officials and government bureaucrats.

The sensational charges against Tariq al-Hashimi, one of the country’s most prominent Sunni leaders, threatened to

inflame widening sectarian and political conflicts in Iraq just one day after the last American convoy of American troops rolled out of the country into Kuwait.

The accusations were broadcast over Iraqi television, in a half-hour of grainy video confessions from three men identified as Mr. Hashimi’s bodyguards. They spoke of how they had planted bombs in public squares, driven up to convoys carrying Iraqi officials and opened fire.

House set to vote down payroll tax cut extension

3DAYFORECAST

Today High: 23 Record: 46 (1997) Sunrise: 7:16 a.m.

WASHINGTON (NY Times) — Speaker John A. Boehner said Monday that the House would reject a Senate plan for a twomonth extension of payroll tax relief and unemployment benefits, and called on Congress to work through the holidays if necessary to find agreement on longer-term legislation.

But Senate Democratic leaders said they had no immediate plans to call the Senate back to work out a deal with the House, leaving

the fate of the legislation, which would also prevent a 27 percent cut in Medicare payments to doctors, unclear.

At the same time, tensions increased between the Senate, which overwhelmingly approved the two-month extension on Saturday, and the House. Senator Scott Brown, a Republican facing reelection in Massachusetts, called his Republican colleagues in the House “irresponsible and wrong” for rejecting the Senate bill.

Under the direction of Mr. Hashimi’s top aides, the men said, they gunned down convoys carrying Shiite officials and planted roadside bombs in traffic circles and wealthy neighborhoods of Baghdad, then detonated them as their targets drove by. One of the men said Mr. Hashimi had personally handed him an envelope with $3,000 after one of the attacks.

It was impossible to substantiate any of the accusations aired in the confessions.

Young heir faces uncertain transition in North Korea TOKYO — With the abrupt death of the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-il, the fate of his isolated, nuclear-armed regime has dropped into the hands of his youngest son, Kim Jong-un, who is such an unknown that the world did not even know for sure what he looked like until last year. But the biggest enigma may be whether the younger Kim will be able to hold onto power in this last bastion of hard-line Communism, much less prevent its impoverished economy from collapsing.

For now, the reclusive regime is acting true to form, offering few clues as to what, if any, changes the death of the dictator could bring. It does, however, appear to be offering the first glimmers of an answer to one question that has long dogged North Korea watchers: whether the powerful military and other parts of the nation’s small, privileged ruling elite would go along with the Kim family’s ambitions to extend its dynastic rule to a third generation.

Non-profit organization helps put people on the right road

BY BARBARA TAORMINA THE UNION LEADER

DOVER — Christmas came early this year for the Hancock family, who now have a 2011 Hyundai Sonata to get them around Dover thanks to More Than Wheels, a non-profit organization that helps people get the best deal on cars and the loans needed to finance them.

“This whole experience has been amazing,” said Brandy Hancock. She no longer needs to walk her kids to school in the snow or call a cab to get to the grocery store. “This program has changed our lives around.”

More Than Wheels is a statewide organization with a main office in Manchester, as well as offices in Keene, Lebanon, Concord and Portsmouth, in addition to Boston, Mass.

The organization has helped more than 1,500 New Hampshire residents get the best deal on the biggest and most important purchase people make after a home — a car. The program’s specialty is helping people who have less-than-stellar credit find lowinterest loans by teaching them the basics of family budgets. More Than Wheels’ team of car experts also helps people who have flawless credit histories negotiate the fairest and lowest price at car dealerships.

“I never expected anything like this,” said Hancock, who still seems to have a hard time believing that she and her husband, Randy, own the car in her driveway.“The whole program has made me more confident about everything.”

Like a lot of people, the Hancocks had some old medical bills that had crippled their credit. Although they both had jobs and earned more than enough to make monthly car payments, banks didn’t want to talk to them.

For a couple of years, the Hancocks did what a lot families in their position often do. Every year when their tax return came in the mail, they would buy a clunker at a used car lot and cross their fingers that it would last until the following year’s tax return arrived.

Last year, they paid a few thousand dollars for a car that didn’t make it until summer before it needed major repairs. Around that time, Hancock heard about More Than Wheels from a friend and made the call.

More Than Wheels was founded a decade ago by Robert Chambers and Leo Hamill, two car salesmen who were working together at a dealership in Claremont. Chambers was troubled by some of the industry’s predatory loan practices and worried about car buyers who were being saddled with huge debts that would long outlive the cars they were buying.

The breaking point came when Chambers saw two co-workers highfive one another after arranging a five-year loan with a sky-high interest rate for a single mother who desperately needed transportation. Chambers knew the car had about two years to go before it would be ready for the junk yard.

Chambers and Hamill saw a dependable car as a basic necessity for work-

ing families who needed to get to jobs, schools and doctor’s appointments.

And they created a program that put vehicles in reach for people who were willing to make some changes.

The Hancocks first had to qualify for the program, which meant they both needed jobs. Next, they both attended a six-week “financial fitness” program that taught them how to look at their income and expenses to see where and how they could save some money.

They also worked individually with a credit counselor.

Hancock said it was hard at first to break old routines, but as she saw how much money she could save it became easier.

The next step for the couple was to prove they were dependable with loan payments. More Than Wheels has a fleet of donated vehicles that the organization calls bridge cars.

For about six months, the Hancocks paid $300 a month to rent a bridge car.

It was a little old, and a little noisy, but it allowed the couple to build a history of payments.

“We really are about financial education and giving people the tools they need to build credit,” said Sue Chadwick, a spokeswoman for More than Wheels. “It takes some time to build credit and about a second to tank it.”

More Than Wheels works with several credit unions and banks to

arrange low-interest financing for people in the program.

“Our lenders know our clients have gone through the classes,” said Chadwick. “They are more interested in their behavior changes than their credit histories.”

More than Wheels also works with several car dealerships that are on board with the program’s mission to find the best-priced vehicles.

The Hancocks paid a $68 fee to enroll in the program and an $895 fee for help negotiating the loan and choosing the right car. The fee, which is rolled into the loan for the vehicle, keeps More than Wheels up and running.

For people who don’t need any help with credit repair, More than Wheels has a “Supporter” program. For the same $895 fee, which is rolled into a car loan, More than Wheels will find whatever type of car clients want for the lowest price and the best terms.

They also negotiate the best warranty.

For people who don’t know much about cars or haggling, the service takes all the uncertainty out of buying a new car.

“We see people of all ages and all walks of life who need help with credit or would like help buying a car,” said Chadwick.

More Than Wheels might see even more people now that Hancock has transportation.

Many are in support of marriage equality To the editor: In response to Bruce Cochrane’s letter on Dec. 2: You speak for a population’s entirety that is not yours to speak for. Many married, heterosexual American couples are in support of marriage equality, including ones who live in our valley. The idea that marriage is claimed for heterosexual couples is a horrible thought, as if marriage, the so called sacred sacrament, can be claimed by any one party and then be refused to another.

Family should not be defined as those that were created by one man and woman. No, family extends much deeper than that.

A family is the combined resources of love, trust and responsibility that can care for children and adults and nurture them. Because I choose to not hide behind a veil of fabrications and openly express my love for someone of my same sex does not mean that there is any less love than you would have for your wife. I also would be able to love, support, and take care of any child that I would adopt or conceive, even if both of those ways are untraditional.

Marriage for homosexual

couples is more than just tax forms and insurance.

Marriage also allows for immigration rights, child and spouse support in case of a divorce, and the ability to make medical decisions and the ability to receive death benefits if the worst happens. Also, being married transcends any national and international boundary, whereas civil unions do not. The difference between being married and being joined is that the two are separate and absolutely not equal.

I did not choose to be gay as much as you did not choose to be straight.

I encourage you to find an argument that I, who work hard for my living, pay taxes, and live as decently as I possibly can, do not deserve the same rights as you who wish to take mine away. It isn’t a question of what is sacred or traditional, but it is a question of whether or not human beings should be allowed to have the same rights bestowed upon them that so many take for granted.

That people aim to take rights away from others is sicker than anything happening in the bedroom.

If our organs are failing, it’s because we’re failing our organs To the editor: Regarding Tom Eastman’s article: “New dialysis center under construction in Conway” in The Conway Daily Sun Dec 13: For people with renal failure, it’s a good and life saving factor, that they can have their urine drawn out of their bodies without driving to far. Going forward, it would be even better for people to learn what causes kidney disease, and prevent it. There is a cause.

The biotech corporations that are taking over the medical industrial complex, a profit driven industry that focuses on disease care,

would have people believe that everything is “genetic,” but that is far from true. Being predisposed to disease means that at some point, the cells of past generations became diseased and were passed on.

There are beneficial ways to repair and heal our inner infrastructure. If our organs are failing, we’re failing our organs.

THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Tuesday, December 20, 2011— Page 7

Tele-Talk What do you think of the Occupy movement, and is it making a difference?

You know you people crack me up.

If you spent as much time working as you did protesting, you might become part of that 1 percent. This country is so amazing. You can work as much as you want. You can make as much as you want. But you know what your problem is for you people that are protesting? Your jealous of those people that have worked and have accomplished something. And now you just want a free ride because that’s what Obama’s going to give you. Wake up America. It’s time to get rid of the deadbeats and the lowlifes that just want to suck off the system. You know years ago they invented this great thing. It’s called work.

About the Occupy movement: First of all I don’t think it’s making a difference and second of all I truly believe it borders on anti-American. And I’m sure they could find better things to do, like get a job.

This is Hans in Conway. I think some of the people involved in that have good intentions and of course you have the fringe elements who are causing all kinds of trouble and actually criminal activity as well, but ultimately, the Occupy movement is a sad joke. In 1960 before President Eisenhower left office he warned the American populous about the rising power of the military industrial complex. What has come to pass with the Patriot Act and the legislation that is now in Congress that will allow the American military to arrest and detain American citizens indefinitely without any actual charges — do you think a bunch of people carrying signs and the other nonsense is going to change that?

What you’ve got in Washington is the Demicans and the Republicrats. Both major parties since the end of World War II ultimately have conspired to destroy the United States and the international bankers who run the so-called Fed, which has nothing to do with the federal government — allied with the military industrial complex run this country. Anybody who thinks the president and the Congress, in the final analysis run this country — are not only idiots but they have my sincerest sympathy. There are two Democrats and two Republican presidents since Nixon who removed all the controls over Wall Street and the banks — Carter, Reagan, Nixon and worst of all Bill Clinton. It was under Bill Clinton’s administration that the Glass-Stegall Act was rescinded. That was put in place in the 1930s to try to prevent another depression. So of all those four presidents I think it was ultimately Bill Clinton that did the most damage. And I am not a fan of the Democrats or the Republicans because basically in the final analysis there is no difference. They are two sides of the same coin. If you want to follow the truth about what’s going on in this country, follow the money. Ultimately carrying signs what that does is that will induce the people in the banks and the corporations to laugh and joke and the middle class in the United States is being destroyed. And I’d love to see all these right-wingers and these left-wingers in The Conway Daily Sun writing all their nonsense

— and I know that the majority of them watch way too much television — mores specifically the three stooge networks and their fellow travelers.

This country has gone down the tubes and there’s no returning. It’s too far gone now. The United States Constitution was shredded and trashed many years ago and Mr. Obama and George W. Bush and both major parties have been involved in making this happen.

Do I think there’s any hope for the United States? No, unfortunately it’s too late, we’re gone.

No I don’t think it makes a difference at all. They should get a job. This is Scott from Glen.

They’re all communists.

I’d just like to say that I’m a supporter of the Occupy movement.

I do support Occupy Wall Street and it’s goals. I think mainly because our political system seems to be mostly based on money and wealth, more and more these days and most of us are suffering — many of us are. And I think it’s time to try to alter the balance between the very rich and most of the rest of us and I think this movement is going to help us do that.

Peaceable, scheduled, legal protests are acceptable. Occupying public spaces for days on end denies non-protesters enjoyable access to parks, etc.

The news leads me to believe the protestors are hurting businesses in the area and limiting the rights of ordinary citizens to access. In my opinion that is wrong. I haven’t heard many constructive solutions to the problems being “protested.”

This is Steven in Silver Lake and I hardily support the Occupy movement. I think it’s way overdue and it is opening a conversation that is necessary and hopefully which will be productive and lead to a closer union in these United States of America.

I think the Occupy movement is doing great and it’s needed in this time of ours and with this government.

The Occupy movement has just begun. I doubt that there’s many 1 percenters in the Conway area, but a lot of far right wingnuts seem to think they are — that is those inveterate Sun writers who are living in the 1950s and God knows where else.

The Occupyers, I wish them good luck against those fascist types. This is Ray in Conway.

I sincerely hope that it’s making an impression on the powers that be that the people are angry. We’re angry beyond words at this point. And this Occupy movement has got to keep the pressure on because I’m afraid this could turn into a violent explanation of how angry we are. We’ve already had the occasion where people have been shot because they didn’t like their politics. Now, this could happen and I’m really concerned about it. The Occupy movement is non-violent. It should get all the support that it can.

We need reform in this government, big time. And we’re angry and they should know it.

I think the Occupy movement is ridiculous and a waste of time. It’s not making a difference, costing taxpayers a lot of extra money just for protection and trying to keep people

in order. And these people don’t even contribute to pay taxes. They ought to go to work instead of making the scene.

There’s a very dark side to these Occupy groups. If you go onto the Internet and you punch in Occupy and Jewish anti-Semitism, you can see videotapes of horrendous speeches given by these groups in New York, Detroit, San Francisco, San Diego etc. It is absolutely frightening the hate that is spewed forth against our jewish brothers. It surprises me that The Conway Daily Sun seems to be embracing this group and there is nobody working at the Sun to tell them about to tell them about this dark side that exists.

And even worse, we have some kind of Universalist church in the town of Tamworth fully embracing this group.

They must be ignorant of what they are doing because the hate spewed forth, day after day from these groups about jewish people being bankers and having all the money. Can you imagine if these groups even mentioned something about the Arabs. The Conway Daily Sun would be running down the street as far as they can away from these groups. But what’s very, very troubling is that no one in the Conway Daily Sun spoke up and said hey, let’s back off having anything to do with these groups and of course the large amount of people in Tamworth that showed up to embrace the Unvirsalist Church in their efforts to assist this Occupy group, it’s very, very frightening. And I wish these people would look into their hearts and say and say “no, we want no part of anything meant against the Jewish people.” And it’s the same thing, like in World War II, this Universalist group sat by and did nothing, knowing full well what the Germans were doing to the Jewish people. History cannot be repeated. I implore you. Please, tell that columnist of yours Daymond, the one who wrote about separating God from town meeting. What kind of person is this. Where do these hate people come from. But we can forgive them.

What amazes me is when I hear negative responses about Occupy from individuals who are either too lazy or too uninformed to realize that being against this movement is like kicking themselves in the teeth.

These people should spend some time becoming informed about how the changes Occupy is trying to accomplish will help to bring this country back to what it is meant to be for the many. Of course if these uninformed are happy with the ultrawealthy and/or corporations making the laws for them, then they should just keep hiding their heads in the sand.

The Occupy movement is the result of years of corporate greed, political corruption and the slow demise of the middle class. I applaud the movement throughout this country and believe it is time for the Occupy Bartlett movement. Gene Chandler and his pals have misdirected town, state and federal moneys for decades. How dare the Bartlett selectmen present a $2 million bill for flood plain repairs to the people of Bartlett and federal taxpayers. There was no emergency for much

of this work. Spending $800,00 for upgrades to Cow Hill Road is outrageous. Ripwrapping private property three-quarters of a mile up river from the Rocky Branch Bridge is nothing more than cronyism. Gene and his buddies perpetrated a scam against on the citizens of Bartlett and the federal taxpayers. Occupy Bartlett begins Dec. 26 at the polls. It’s funny I don’t hear a sound from the Tea Party movement. Oh, yeah, I forgot. It’s there turn to Occupy Florida.

I support political activism, whether it’s the Occupy group or the better smelling Tea Party. But what happened to our local Tea Party activists who show up at school budget hearings. I have not heard one complaint from them on the Bartlett Big Dig. For four months, since Irene Bartlett has been continually digging in the Saco River’s East Branch and Rocky Branch Rivers at the taxpayers expense. The rivers are owned by the state of New Hampshire. Why is Bartlett involved with it? This is nothing more than a $2 million pork barrel project. Bartlett spent $800,000 to repair 2,500 feet of Cow Hill Road, a road to nowhere. Bartlett taxpayers, go look at Cow Hill Road and see if the road in front of your house looks like that. The $800,000 would buy a lot of asphalt or pay a lot of teachers.

That money should go to people who were flooded and we’re not in the flood plain. Pork barrel. Where is the Tea Party. We still need to fix the bridges.

Yes, I do think the Occupy movement is making difference It is waking people up to the fact that if they are a W2 employee, and that doesn’t matter what kind of an income they earn, they are one pink slip away from being unemployed, perhaps never working again, depending on their age. And the injustices and the runaway practices that have happened from the deregulation. There has been too much trust that the corporations are looking out fro the public good, and they are not. The corporations are looking out for their bottom line, which is what they are there to do, but they need to work within a framework of regulation. And that’s a lot of what I think the Occupy movement is about. But there are so many things and it’s time because without a thriving middle class we do not have upward mobility in this country and that’s what our grandparents and our great grandparents struggled to come to this country to do — create a better life for the next generation.

My husband and I believe that the Occupy movement has a very important message and we’re very much in favor of it.

It’s about time people had another cause to get behind that they’re actually standing up and saying something. It’s so much better than not having any opinion at all. I really hope the Occupy movement makes a difference. I heard a story on NPR this week that interviewed the Tea Baggers and Occupy movement people and asked them the same questions and the irony of them both having almost the exact same answers to the same questions was just too funny. They both stand for the same things. see TELE-TALK page 8

TELE-TALK from page 7

The Occupy movement is making an important difference in politics and in our national dialogue about where we want our country to go. For too long those of us who make the United States the interesting, diverse country it is, yet constantly struggle to get by haven’t had a voice in politics. I am so grateful to the Occupy movement for changing the debate and for creating a space for us to be heard. I encourage anyone who would like to see positive changes in our country to join the efforts of Occupy Conway.

Gretchen in East Conway.

“The streets of our country are in turmoil. The universities are filled with students rebelling and rioting. Communists are seeking to destroy our country. Russia is threatening us with her might, and the republic is in danger. Yes — danger from within and without. We need law and order! Without it our nation cannot survive.” Is this quote from Barak Obama or Adolph Hitler? This is Ralph in Eaton.

I have participated in three of the Occupy events in Conway recently. I felt the passion and seriousness of purpose among the people, as well as the pure joy of convivial like-mindedness. See for yourself, do not believe what you hear or read. Gail, Silver Lake.

The Occupy movement is a cry to our representatives in government to take notice of the fact that there is something very wrong in America right now.

Since Congress is not and has not been representing us, the middle and lower class citizens, who represent the majority of people in this country, we have to take to the streets to make the point that we are sick of the economic injustice and political, moneydriven and money- influenced corruption in our government — which is no longer of the people, by the people and for the people. The Occupy movement is a broad-based, and very serious movement about changing the status quo. Everyone knows how unfair things have become in this country, mainly due to the influence of money, big money, in our political system. Basically corporations and those who have the money buy our politicians who pass legislation which favors these corporations and allows them to make even more money at the expense of the working class, you and me. The Supreme Court has ruled insanely that corporations are people, thus providing even more injustice and unfair influence over the political process in allowing corporations to buy political influence with even more money than before.

Enough is enough. I think the Occupy movement is analogous to the American Revolution in that our democracy is being seriously threatened from within our own country and if we don’t take a stand now by peaceful demonstration things will get a lot worse.

As more and more people become disenfranchised from our political system the movement will grow in number and power and one way or another, eventually and painfully, will create change for the better.

Getting money out of politics is critical and is what Occupy is primarily focussed upon. The more people get involved the sooner progress will be made. Go to www.OccupyTogether.org and United Republic’s, Get Money Out at www.unitedrepublic.org/city-resolution/ to get involved.

I think the Occupy movement is a far less scary revolution than the one that happened 222 years ago and we have cake! Speaking of cake, did you know that Martha Stewart went to jail for insider trading (every U.S. legislator is making money hand over fist by insider trading — it is legal when they do it — now you know why a job that pays less than $200,000/year is worth millions). The Occupy movement is making difference, think Bank of America backing off a charge for debit cards, and Discover removing several charges, and Republicans so afraid of mic checks they stopped posting their schedules in advance. There are heavily armed police wearing battle gear — looking like Darth Vader’s goon squad — attacking a bunch of hippie types holding cardboard signs, singing, chanting and sharing food, warm clothes and companionship with anyone, regardless of their social status, race, religion, sexual preferences, or mental health. As I see it, Occupy Wall Street demonstrated what joyous place a community can be. I hope that is where the revolution takes us. Melinda Coyle, Center Conway.

The Occupy movement is laughable; it’s a joke!

They haven’t accomplished a damn thing. They have

disrupted the lives of the very people they claim to represent; the 99 percent. Commonplace at their gatherings is drug abuse, open sex, and destruction of private property. Some of the “Occupy Idiots” have defecated on police cars and relieved themselves in public. There has been violence and even a few deaths attributed to these idiots. Yes, many of their issues are valid, like political corruption, government bailouts and corporate wrongdoings; I’m incensed about that too, but the movement is too stupid to accomplish anything. By comparison, the Tea Party organized themselves, articulated their views, and worked to get people elected who can institute their politics from within the system. The Tea Party is a force (evident by their influence in the GOP Primary race), because they are intelligent, organized, and know that you must work within the system to change it.

Hey “Occupy Idiots”, take note; you’ve accomplished nothing! Go do something meaningful, like get a job, start a business, run for an elected office, pay the college loans you signed on for, or figure out how to lower college tuition. How can Dick Pollock not be embarrassed? “We will not be denied”; please, what a joke! And not surprisingly, Obama, Pelosi, and many other corrupt, liberal socialist morons, have publicly supported this movement. Save America, Vote Republican!

The “Occupy” Movement is an aspect of the largest social movement of all time.. Presently in history, there are more than 2 million organizations in the world working for environment sustainability, social and economic justice and spiritual change. We are in the middle of a huge revolution that is supporting healthy evolution. Many individuals do not realize all the positive changes that are presently taking place, because the media is not covering it. If you start reading and exploring on the Internet, you will find that it is a truly miraculous time of profound and life-enhancing changes as the old is dying and the new is birthing. We are presently in the process of creating a whole new and exciting “paradigm” (the old one stopped working a long time ago) so I have great faith in our future and what all peoples can creatively do together. Please join the movement in whatever way works for you. It is really for the benefit of the “100 percent!” Becky Mulkern, Conway In a few short months the Occupy Movement has created a national conversation about a host of issues that are well known to the general public but have received little or no legislative, regulatory or legal action. It is the inherent unfairness of how those of means continue to manipulate the playing field in their own favor that is beginning to erode as the national conscience has been re awoken as Occupy has helped us understand the real meaning of “we the people.” Dick Pollock, North Conway.

The following Tele-Talk responses were posted on The Conway Daily Sun’s Facebook page: It’s a waste of time, space and resources. It is not making a difference. It’s a movement with no cause.

“Movement” implies progress toward a goal. I’ve yet to see either progress or a clearly defined goal.

“There’s enough to support human need, but not human greed.” This basic mantra speaks to the heart of the issue. The cause of the movement is preserving the economy and the environment for the upcoming and future generations by promoting responsible and ethical behavior, not just on Wall Street or Main Street, but on every street. I support this movement.

Gain momentum? It seems to be dying to me. I won’t go so far as to say it’s a waste of time, but it is misdirected. If they were really concerned about the issues they claim to be, they should be occupying the White House, not Wall Street, because that’s the root of the problem. As far as making a difference? I think they are actually hurting their cause.

They claim to be fighting for the 99 percent — the average American. Yet, their occupations cost millions of taxpayer dollars, which the 99 percent has to foot the bill for. Their shutting down of the shipping ports the other day cost thousands of working people, the 99 percent, a day of work. You will not get us on your side when you’re costing us hundreds of dollars right around Christmas.

Just glad that all those people have so much free time on their hands.

Seems to be fading to me.

What is interesting is that all we hear about is unemployment. All these people without jobs. Frequently lost without any warning (i.e. latest Lowe’s closings). These are some of the people I would imagine that you see protesting. Yet the so called “liberal media” have been painting a picture of these poor people as “lazy, dirty, drug-dealing hippies.” Shameful! They’re no more “dirty hippies” as the guys in the three cornered hats carrying guns are “patriots!” If you’re lucky enough to be working, thank your lucky stars. Don’t dump on fellow Americans who are actually feeling the pressure and hopelessness of not being gainfully employed! That said, I don’t think it’s been a complete waste of time as it has obviously gotten us all to think about some of these issues. One issue that we should be thinking of is how quick we are to kick people who are down.

From what I’ve seen or heard, I sure would not want to be associated with the likes of ones defecating on the American flag and police cars, or pot heads, or rapists, or other malcontents, or people pushing socialist, Marxist ideals.

We have an amazingly short memory as a result of our 24-hour news cycle. Bank Of America was going to start charging all of their customers $5 a month to use their debit cards. Occupy Wall Street took that on as a cause, and Bank of America backed down.

Cities and towns all across our country are switching their banking from Bank of America and the like and changing to locally-owned and controlled credit unions. In Los Angles we saw the first city to pass a resolution that says corporations are not people.

The photo of the disgusting person defecating on the American flag is from an antiwar protest in 2003 or 2004, it is not from an Occupy Wall Street protest.

While the problem is Wall Street, it is also in Washington and the 50 state capitals around our country.

We keep electing the same people and expecting different results. Anyone in New Hampshire can run to be a state representative. Get involved. We need new people with new ideas, not just more of the same.

It’s strange to me to see Americans not supporting other Americans rights, because their rights are too expensive, or messy or even worse you disagree with them. These Occupy Wall Street protesters are within their rights to protest. When the government moves in to remove protesters, that’s when we all need to get more involved. Remember, someday you may want to exercise your rights too!

Your rights end when they interfere with other people’s rights. Just because you have a right to free speech does not mean you have a right to yell fire in a crowded movie theater. Just because you have a right to free speech does not mean you have a right to take over a piece of private property like Zucotti Park and deprive others of its use. Just because you have a right to free speech you do not have a right to blockade shipping ports and (privately owned, by the way) railroad tracks and deprive other people of their rights to travel and work. Just because you have a right to free speech you do not have a right to riot and vandalize stores, shut down businesses, and destroy public property that belongs to all of us, not just you and your cause.

No one ever promised us that life would be fair.

Looking over the fence at your neighbors yard and being envious of what they have is a pretty sad place to be. You make the best of what you have and appreciate it. Otherwise you go through life miserable and wanting. I have not been left wanting or miserable.

It isn’t a matter of not supporting other Americans “rights.” We all have the same rights and opportunities. Some people have a head start but that doesn’t change the fact that we too have the right to be all that we can be. That is the American way and to see people complaining about the American way just doesn’t sit well with me. I think we should be protesting NAFTA and CAFTA. Instead of protesting the amount of taxes and the exemptions that corporations are given, if we stop the jobs from being outsourced and keep the work here, there would be more taxes to support our government. But as it stands now, there is no incentive for the large corps to employ Americans. This protest is only going to push the corporations to continue outsourcing. see next page

THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Tuesday, December 20, 2011— Page 9

Do you honestly feel that some people just have a “head start” or do you think it is possible that they have stacked the deck through political lobbying? My son will pay 30 percent in income taxes while someone his age with a trust fund will pay 15 percent in taxes off of their income from the trust fund. That is more than a head start.

For the record I have a job, went to college and I shower daily! I support Occupy Wall Street and believe it is making a difference! I do not expect a handout but I do expect a fair shake! Why should I pay more in taxes than large corporations do?

Our political system is not working and has been corrupted by special interest groups with lots of money to spend and it needs to change now.

If nothing else, Occupy Wall Street is getting more people to see what is really going on in our country. If you aren’t outraged then you aren’t paying attention.

I believe we should have term limits for all elected officials, and that taxes should be equal for everyone, federally. Maybe those who have money control should try living on $30,000 a year and see how they do. Whatever the solution, you go, Occupy — and don’t stop until we win.

I think what a lot of people don’t get about this movement is that it is not about Republicans or Democrats, conservatives or liberals, or any particular political vein. It is about morality and humanity. It is about the greed and corruption. It is about banks foreclosing on hard working Americans, even on the families of our military soldiers while they are serving in foreign lands. It is about the lobbying and the incredible amounts of monies spent on campaigns while so many Americans are hungry and homeless. It is about why and on who’s authority the Federal Reserve decided to secretly print 7.7 trillion dollars to give to the bank at the same time the banks were openly receiving bailouts from our tax money. It’s about all these crimes being committed and nobody being held accountable! It’s also about hundreds of other issues that our government is either doing or allowing that affect the 99 percent in a negative way. We, the people, are finally paying attention, standing up and saying, “This is unacceptable! We can do better!”

I believe it has generated a lot of great discussion and opened people’s minds. I’m more informed than I have been in a long time as are other people I know. I’ve joined the demonstrators; all I have met are working, tax-paying, basically nice people. I have no interest in slamming anyone’s right to freedom of speech. It’s one of the most patriotic things we can do.

First off, I find it interesting that the Republicans support the Tea Party who misnamed themselves after a group that protested against the government by attacking a private company. But they are against the liberals who are doing exactly

this. Second, as has been said, if the protest isn’t inconvenient, it doesn’t grab attention. The level of inconvenience is important. With something like this, I think it needs to be extremely inconvenient. It needs to draw attention to people all over and it needs to be something that our elected officials from a local to a federal level notice and react to accordingly. Third, the problem isn’t that the 99 percent are envious of the 1 percent. The problem is that, for some strange reason, the Republicans and Blue Dog Democrats are acting like the 1 percent are somehow victims.

If they were taxed at 75 percent, they would still have the majority of the money in the country. I’m not saying they should be, I’m just making it clear that they are in no way victims.

It has been shown, and acknowledged by the wealthy, that they were not affected by the recession and in fact, have seen their incomes and livelihoods improve while the rest of the country has paid the price. That’s the problem. They are being played as victims in this but they are actually the ones who have victimized the rest. It’s like the assault victim being blamed for being attacked. It defies logic. There are solutions to the problem. Strangely enough, the very high majority of Americans want the biggest solution implemented but the Republicans and Blue Dogs refuse to do it. Raise taxes on the wealthiest. Does anyone remember just a year ago (heck, even yesterday), the Republicans crying that Obama wasn’t obeying the will of the people?

When more than 80 percent of Americans want to see taxes increased on the wealthy, we have a clear will of the people. Why won’t Congress do what the people want? Everyone wants an equal opportunity. Very few are asking for a complete redistribution of wealth. I really hate when people use the terms “socialist” and “Marxist.” Since there is no one trying to change us from a capitalist society to a socialist one, using the terms shows a clear lack of understanding of what the terms mean. We have socialism in our capitalist society and it works fine. We have managed to blend the two into a unique system. Also, socialism isn’t necessarily bad. It, just like any other form of economy, has its strengths and weaknesses. The biggest weaknesses in all economic systems is man’s greed.

Greed isn’t necessarily bad either, though. Greed can be a great motivator. Greed at the expense of humanity is the problem.

The real problem with USA today all goes back to the supreme court’s decision that says money in politics is free speech. Money is the most corrupting aspect of our political system. When it takes about $20 million to run for Senate seat, $3 to 5 million for a House seat, $300 million to run for president, you know we are in trouble as a country. A Senate and House seat on average only pays about $80,000 to $100,000 a year? The president makes about $300,000 a year. The protest are working. Look at us. We are speaking about the subject.

HABITAT from page one

“When I was younger, I always dreamed of having a husband and a family, and a home. It’s a dream come true,” she said, with tears.

Neighborhood welcome They were welcomed at the event by several of their neighbors whom they have known since before their Morrell Drive days, including friends Debbie and Damon Reuning and Louisa Gagnon, all of whom own Habitat homes on Morrell Drive.

“They have known each other for years. Some of them are going to Granite State College together to better their lives,” said board member Bob Macgoun of Jackson.

“The Hardins helped build their friends’ homes there, not knowing that they would some day apply themselves.

They were turned down their first try, but reapplied, as we work with applicants to address such issues as debt,” said board member Jill Reynolds.

Last on Morrell Drive The Hardins’ three-bedroom, one-bath, one-story home is the eleventh built by Habitat for Humanity over the past 10 years. It is the last to be built at the totally Habitat for Humanity subdivision.

All but one of the Morrell Drive homes are one-story structures with three bedrooms and one bathroom.

Work began last fall, when the foundation slab was poured was Hoyt Foundation. (The Habitat homes do not have basements). The framing was done in spring, with students from Kennett High’s building trades erecting one wall.

Volunteers worked one day a week usually on Thursdays and some Saturdays since early May. Work was completed in early December.

Putting up the other wall frames were Women Build Mother’s Day weekend, sponsored by Lowe’s, and volunteers from the Lutheran Church of the Nativity.

Habitat applicants are required to give 300 hours of sweat equity. In addition, says Reynolds, they can donate 100 hours provided by friends.

BUDGET from page one

“The open position was not filled in 2011 in an attempt to see if we could safely and efficiently operate the transfer station with one less employee,” the summary says. “It became apparent by mid-year that due to factors such as vacations, weekend work and safety, we could not efficiently and safely run the operation without the position.”

“We’re short without that position,” town engineer Paul DegliAngeli said. The department wound up using employees from the landfill to cover vaca-

Affordable housing Applicants receive a housing grant from New Hampshire Housing Authority, according to Habitat chapter president Bill Beck.

The house is appraised for $142,000; the sale price was $111,500.

“New Hampshire Housing helps with a $15,000 down payment, so the homeowners’ price is $96,500, with that $15,000 paid to Habitat which is used to start the next house,” said Beck.

That all works out to a mortgage of approximately $250 a month, with taxes of $250 and $30 for insurance for a total of $530 per month, plus utilities for a 30-year, no interest mortgage, said Beck.

“Habitat holds the note. We are not allowed to charge interest on our loans,” said Beck, a retired geologist who has been involved with Habitat for seven years.

A hand up, not a handout He and the others interviewed — including Macgoun, his wife, Barbara, Renolds and Bob Howe — said they are part of Habitat because they like to give a hand-up, versus a handout, to people who are striving to improve their lives.

“It’s important to me to be involved in an organization of deserving people who want to help. It’s an honor to work side by side with a group of people like that, including the homeowners,” said Beck.

Construction supervisor for the project was Bob Moorehouse.

Bob Morrell’s widow, Miriam, was among those attending the ceremony. Also present was Carolyn Boland, director of New Hampshire Housing. Residents of the neighborhood honored her with a gift.

Fryeburg home next Next up, Habitat will be build a home in 2012 on Menotomy Road in Fryeburg, Maine.

Construction will begin in the spring.

That amounts to “robbing Peter to do Paul’s job,” DegliAngeli said, “and it still doesn’t get the job done.”

Work at the landfill wound up falling behind, he said, because those employees were busy covering at the transfer station. And that can’t happen: “We’re an essential function,” he said. “The trash doesn’t stop.”

The position the town is hoping to restore, meanwhile, is on the recycling side of the facility.

attendant last year,” the budget summary says. “Recycling volumes have decreased, so we have proposed funding to hire a part-time employee for this function.”

That position impacts the department’s revenue, DegliAngeli said, because higher recycling volumes mean more material to sell into the commodities markets. It’s “hard to say,” however, how much of cost of the position will be offset. The highway department, meanwhile, is looking at a 5 percent increase, or $82,599. see BUDGET page 12

Habitat group have plans to build homes in Madison and Tamworth. Habitat is an equal opportunity lender.

The lot was purchased late last year with a grant from the Ham Foundation. It is located about 2.3 miles north of Route 302 at 483 Menotomy Road. This will be Mount Washington Valley Habitat’s first building project in Maine.

To date, the building permit has been obtained, the lot has been cleared, the septic system is installed and the foundation is in place. This will enable an early building start next spring.

On Oct. 26 an on-site ceremony was held with a Ham Foundation representative, a prominent member of the local business community, and Habitat Board members to commemorate efforts to date to prepare the site for construction.

When the application process opens early in 2012, Habitat will be seeking qualified potential homeowners now living in any of the following towns in the service area: Albany, Bartlett, Brownfield, Chatham, Chocorua, the Conways, Eaton, Freedom, Fryeburg, Jackson, Madison, Stow and Tamworth.

To be considered for the Fryeburg home, Habitat must receive inquiries by Jan. 14, 2012 and applicants must meet the following basic qualifications: • Live in substandard housing for at least one year in any of the above towns • Have an annual family income of $25,000 to $40,000 • Be willing to invest at least 300 hours of “sweat equity” hours to contribute to the home construction process and related activities Habitat looks forward to working with Fryeburg officials, sub-contractors, vendors and others to make this home a reality for a deserving family.

Habitat for Humanity is an equal housing opportunity provider.

Those who are interested in the Fryeburg home may contact the North Conway Habitat office at 356-3832 or visit the web at www.office@mwv-habitat.org. to learn more about the application process.

Eagle Academy graduation today CONWAY — Twenty students, representing the ninth class of graduates from Kennett High Eagle Academy, will receive their diplomas on Tuesday. They'll also be sharing the stage at Loynd Auditorium with 12 students who have earned the GEDs. It will mark the first time the graduation ceremonies have taken place on the same day.

The ceremony, which always attracts a host of parents, family members, friends and faculty members, is scheduled for 6 p.m.

The ninth graduating class of Eagle Academy will be: Prudent Joseph Bedard IV, Tina M. Bradley, Dustin Matthew Brett, Ryan P. Britland, Jack A. Burkett III, Alec Joseph Butler, Desirae Collins, Savannah Ann Ashley Dearborn, Rebecca J. Gertz, Douglas E. Hill Jr., Garid Hounsell, Jessica Lee Kimball, Elizabeth Lane, Alyssa Long, Brandon Seaward-Frost, Issac Smith, Zachary Sutton, Samantha Joelle Sylvester, Kristen Vaillancourt-Locke and Brendon M. Wakefield GED recipients will be: Jacob Barbour, Christopher Bellen, Ashley Bowley, Nathan Johnson, Scott Allen Martin, Andrew McAllister, Matthew Mullen, Karen Murray, Kayla Nason, Jonathan Ryan, Keaton Weiler and Clarissa White.

Rachelle Cox, student advocate and director of alternative programs at Kennett High, said churches in the Mount Washington Valley donated all of the refreshments for the post-ceremony which includes 400 cupcakes and drinks.

Last spring a record 29 students graduated from Eagle Academy while a then record 11 students received their GEDs. The Eagle Academy provides students an alternative to regular classes to earn a high school diploma.

The Eagle Academy is the centerpiece of the school district’s anti-dropout efforts. There were a record 73 students enrolled in the academy this spring.

“Eagle Academy is an adult high school that for the most part is an evening program,” said school superintendent Dr. Carl Nelson, who along with Cox presents the Eagles with their diplomas. “The kids go to a combination of day and night classes, and it allows

them to complete a diploma that meets all New Hampshire requirements and allows them to be a full New Hampshire graduate.”

Beyond that, Nelson said the program offers smaller class sizes and follows a rigid application process to ensure potential students are serious about completing the program. Since its inception over five years ago, roughly 100 have now graduated from Eagle Academy, he said.

GED tests are a group of five subject tests which, when passed, certify that the student has high school-level academic skills. To pass the GED tests and earn a GED credential, students must score higher than 60 percent of graduating high school seniors nationwide.

Some jurisdictions require that students pass additional tests such as an English proficiency exam or civics test.

In the Kennett GED program, students need to attain 20 hours of credits, which includes 15 hours of GED/ job prep and a minimum of five hours either in a career/tech class or internship or work coop.

The 12 graduates had to take five practice tests to then become eligible to take the actual GED test, which they passed.

Aside from the Kennett GED, this was the fifth year Kennett High has served as a General Equivalency Degree test site for other schools.

According to the website Wikipedia, more than 15 million people have received a GED credential since the program began. One in every seven Americans with high school credentials received the GED, as well as one in 20 college students. Some 70 percent of GED recipients complete at least the 10th grade before leaving school.

The Department of Education in its 2005-06 high school student dropout rates showed that Kennett High went from a 5.3 percent annual dropout rate to over 7 percent. Of the 21 intermediate-sized schools in Class I, Kennett had the highest dropout rate.

In the summer of 2007, a student success task force was created to try to curb the dropout rate at Kennett.

The task force set a goal of lowering the dropout rate to 3.5 percent by 2011. That subsequently led to the see ACADEMY page 12

creation of the Eagle Academy, an alternative route to a high school diploma, and a summer school program to assist students in getting back on track academically along with the GED program.

In the Department of Education's 2006-07 report, Kennett went from 68 dropouts to 38. For 2008-09, the number dropped to nine.

This spring, Kennett dropped below the state average for the second year in a row, falling to less than a half percent or just two students.

BUDGET from page 10

Like the police department much of the increase is in labor costs, according to the summary, but there are also increases in the streetlight and pavement line items.

“As voters will recall,” the summary says, “over 200 lights were turned off at the end of 2010. A year of experience now gives us a better idea of the cost saving so an upward adjustment was required. Also, the pavement line increased to match the requirements of projects planned for the year.”

The town is looking at a $45,518 reduction in the benefit expenses, was well as a savings of more than $330,000 associated with the landfill bond paid off in 2011.

Another major apparent savings for ambulance services is in fact not a savings at all. The budget says there is a $102,666 decrease in the ambulance budget for 2012, but that’s because the ambulance contract won’t be approved until the voters weigh in this spring.

If they approve the contract, the total cost for ambulance services will be $154,000, the same as last year.

Police Chief Josh Shackford says such a theft is unusual. “I’ve never had that happen before,” said Shackford.

The witness who saw the theft didn’t realize the skid-steer was being stolen. Other witnesses told police they heard the skid-steer driving by.

Authorities did not release the name the child’s parents or specifics about what happened.

“We should have detailed information on status and a possible suspect soon,” Sheriff Conley said.

“This is a domestic-related crime,” he said, and there should be an arrest in connection with the

"My ultimate goal would be a zero dropout rate," Carl Nelson, school superintendent, said. "The value of an education is so important — it just enhances their lives as they move forward. I really think we're going to get to our goal of zero by 2012.

"I get very excited to talk about our successes in this area," he added. "We've become one of the leading dropout prevention centers in the state, and I'm awfully proud of that."

Eagle Academy and GED will resume classes Jan. 23, 2012. For more information about either program, contact director Rachelle S. Cox at 356-4309.

The selectmen only discussed one department on Tuesday before approving the budget: the welfare department.

The town added $10,000 to the general assistance line item,town manager Earl Sires said, bringing it from $35,000 to $45,000 in light of a recent spike in applications. Most of the fall was relatively quiet for the welfare officer, Sires said, but “in November she saw 45 clients in 15 days.”

The town has to figure out the right balance, selectman Mike DiGregorio said. This has been a concern of the budget committee and others. Some people want to see the town do more for people, he said, while others want the town to scale back.

Let’s see what the budget committee has to say, selectman Larry Martin suggested.

Last year the budget committee trimmed the selectmen’s budget by more than $120,000, but the voters reinstated those cuts and more during the deliberative portion of town meeting, pushing the budget up almost $60,000 above what the selectmen had requested. With roughly four months left in the process, it’s unlikely $9.1 million is the last number the voters see.

The idea of a thief making a gateway on a tractor seemed humorous to people reading about the incident on the Conway Daily Sun’s Facebook page.

“Can’t wait till this story makes it on the Dave Letterman or Jay Leno show,” wrote Keith Paris.

Anyone else who may have information regarding this incident is asked to contact the Freedom Police Department at 539-8268. incident in a matter of hours. No information had been released by press time.

The child lived with his mother, Conley said, and they did not have information about the child’s father.

State police are working alongside the Sheriff’s office on the case. “The major crime unit is on scene now,” Conley said.

Weather curtails Ace Tarberry’s World Cup debut

BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

VAL GARDENA, Italy — Gusty winds forced the Audi FIS Alpine World Cup jury to cancel the 50th running of the famed Saslong Classic men’s downhill in Val Gardena Saturday.

A brief course hold was put in place after the 17th starter followed by an extended 36 minute hold as winds swirled around the 2.2 mile course. Three more racers were allowed to start before the race was officially canceled following bib 21 with Audi Birds of Prey downhill winner Bode Miller (Franconia) in the gate.

The men’s World Cup tour now travels over the Gardena pass to nearby Alta Badia for a giant slalom race on Sunday followed by a slalom Monday featuring defending champion Ted Ligety (Park City, Utah). For more information on Alta Badia, go to http://www.skiworldcup.it/.

Universal Sports will carry TV coverage from Alta Badia Sunday at 2 p.m.

Doug Haney, chief press officer for the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association, posted the following comments heading into the downhill Saturday morning.

“There’s a tradition in the valley that a local band plays outside the team hotels to wake them up on the morning of the downhill. Here’s the song they played for Bode a few years back. He’s been very good on this hill (if yesterday’s near SG win was any indication), but he has never won the Saslong Classic downhill. He was second in the first training run.

Stay tuned, Bode runs 22. see TARBERRY page 16

Hockey Eagles off to 2-0 start on the ice

BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — The Kennett High hockey team ran its record to 2-0 and got an opportunity to work on its penalty-killing in the process Saturday in its 3-0 victory over John Stark at Ham Ice Arena before a crowd over 300 spectators. The evening was capped off with the annual Skate with the Eagles following the victory that allowed the community onto the ice to skate with the players.

John Bishop stopped all 19 shots the Generals sent his way to record the shutout. He’s not allowed a goal in five periods this season.

“It was a good win, a great crowd and fun skate with the community,” Michael Lane, Eagles’ head coach, said. “John Stark is a good solid team. They made us work for everything, plus we didn’t help ourselves a lot by picking up 13 penalties. Fortunately, we were 13-13 on the penalty kill including three five-on-three shorthanded sessions that were each over a minute long.

The guys did a good job of killing the penalties, but we know as a team we’ve got to be more disciplined and stay out of the penalty box.”

Last year, KHS opened the season with an 0-2 start and went on to reach the Division III State Championship game. see HOCKEY EAGLES page 18

Veteran Saints jump on the Eagles early

BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — The first quarter wasn’t the dream start the Kennett High boys basketball team was looking for on opening night when St. Thomas came to town Friday. In fact, it was a bit of nightmare as the visitors from Dover jumped out to an 18-0 lead in the first 4:19 of play. The Saints made that advantage hold up, leaving The Nest with a 65-43 victory.

“We aren’t in the business of making excuses, but all five of our starters had never started a varsity game before,” Steve Cote, Eagles’ head coach, said.

“It was evident from the beginning that St. Thomas

is a veteran team that was mentally and physically ready to go while we weren’t. We may have been a little in awe of opening night and had a tendency to be hesitant and stood around watching the game instead of playing it early on.

“After the first quarter I think we competed with them,” he continued. “The kids gained experience as the game went on. We’re not real happy with our overall performance but we definitely gained some confidence. …I think St. Thomas’ size (all five starters over 6’2”) will give people fits. As I said, they are see KHS BOYS HOOP page 17

FAwrestlers second in McDonald’s Invitational

BY CHARLIE TRYDER THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

FRYEBURG — For the second year in a row, the Fryeburg Academy wrestling team placed second at the 16-team McDonald’s Tournament held at Mt. Valley High School in Rumford. Four Raiders won their weight class and one placed second, but Class C Dirigo edged the Raiders 162 to 153.5 to win the prestigious and tradition-laden tourney.

Connor Sheehan (113), Zac Sheehan (120), Jake Thurston (145) and Kirk Hubbard all won their weight classes. Ninth grader Zac, who had two late takedowns in his 7-3 decision over defending champion Nick McNamara of Lisbon, along with winning the 120-pound weight class also brought home the outstanding wrestler of the tournament award.

Connor Sheehan pinned Mountain Valley ninth grader, Dekota Jaques, after building a 9-0 lead to win the 113-weight class.

Kirk Hubbard pinned Dennis Webber of Dirigo in overtime to win at 152 pounds.

10-7 to win at 145.

Other Raiders who scored included second place finisher Ian McFawn, who was pinned in the finals

by Victor Irwin of Brewer. Trevor Henshel took third place at 182 with a 9-4 win over Gavin Sanders of Dirigo. C.J. Bartlett also placed third after taking a 10-4 decision over Shawn Bang of Edward Little.

Derek Leavitt, also a third place finisher, pinned Trey Allard of Noble in his final match. Matt Frost added more Fryeburg points with a fourth place finish at 126 pounds.

It is, of course, early in the year, but a second place finish at the McDonald’s Tournament is a good sign for the Raiders.

A team must possess individuals who can outright win their weight class as well as depth to place this high, and noth of these qualities are necessary for a team to place well at a state meet. Coach Bryce Thurston and the Raiders will go back to the practice mats on Monday, and they will continue working, but they have to feel very good about their Saturday performance.

FRYEBURG — The Fryeburg Academy boys’ basketball team showed signs of being more competitive with a strong first half at Cape Elizabeth on Thursday, and then had the ball down one with 15 seconds left on Saturday night at home against Greely, but lost 53-50.

Cape Elizabeth pulled away from the Raiders in second half on Thursday, but the Raiders were only down 36-27 at the half. Cape outscored the Raiders 17-6 in the third quarter to put the game away. The final was 63-38. Djordje Obradovic finished with 11 points to lead the Raiders.

The Raiders treated their fans to an exciting evening on Saturday. After falling behind 9-2 in the first

frame, Fryeburg ran off six straight points to get back to within one point. Mike Costa hit a three, and then Bright Amoako scored an old fashioned three when he hit a driving lay-up on a breakaway, was fouled, and hit his free throw. The quarter ended with the Raiders trailing 18-13.

The Raiders played outstanding defense in the second quarter, and it is a good thing, because they did not score a point. Greely only managed six points to take a 24-13 lead into the locker room at half.

The Raiders traded baskets with the Rangers through the first half of the third quarter and then fell behind 38-25. In the second half of the period, the Raiders’ press started to bother Greely and see next page

Saints nip Kennett on late three-pointer; win 45-43

BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

DOVER — The Kennett High girls basketball team rallied from a seven point third quarter deficit to take a two point lead with two minutes to play Friday night at St. Thomas only to see the hosts pull out a last minute 45-43 victory.

The loss dropped the Eagles to 1-1 in Division II play while the Saints picked up their first victory to improve to 1-2 on the easily season.

“They hit a basket with 50 seconds to play to take the lead and we just weren’t able to tie it up again,” Larry Meader, Eagles’ head coach, said. “We’re still a young team, especially out front, and I think we got a little nervous down the stretch. I called time-out with 18 seconds left to try to settle them down.

(Laughing) I called an inbounds play and we ran it before the the ref gave us the ball so we ended up scrambling and ran out of time. …We had a few too many turnovers and missed a couple of layups, which was four points, and that was the difference.”

Meader was pleased with the way Kennett battled from behind.

“We were down five to seven points most of the game,” he said. “We were down five at the start of the fourth quarter and actually came back to take a two point lead with two minutes to play. …

The girls did a real nice job of hanging in there and battling back. They coulees have easily folded their tent when we down seven midway through the third quarter.”

The Eagles upped the defensive intensity in the second half and it paid dividends.

“We pressed and that led to some turnovers (by St. Thomas),” Meader said. “They had a girl (Gretchen Anderson), who had 11 points in the first half, from preceding page

there was a momentum shift. Amoako scored on a breakaway after a steal, Walker Mallory hit a three, and then Obradovic hit two baskets in a row to finish off a 9-0 Raider run and make it 38-34 game after three quarters.

Mike Costa opened the fourth quarter with a mid range jumper to make it 38-36. After a Greely score, Costa then hit a three pointer after a Greely score to make it 40-39. Greely immediately went on a 10-3 run to make it 50-42 and appeared to have the game wrapped up.

The Raiders did not roll over, however.

Amoako penetrated the Greely defense again for another two plus one three-point play to pull the Raiders within 50-45. Amoako followed with a bank shot off a Raider steal off their press to tighten the game further to 50-47. After Greely made a foul shot to make it 51-47, Mallory hit a three from six feet beyond the three-point arc to make it a one-point game once again.

With 15 seconds left, Greely turned the ball over again against the Raiders’ defensive pressure and called a timeout.

After trailing since an early 2-2 tie, the Raiders had a chance to win the game.

Coach Sedge Saunders discussed what

including hitting three three-pointers.

We went to a box and one on her in the second half and we shut her out.”

Coach Meader said the Eagles need to be a little more aggressive in the rebounding department. They pulled down 50 rebounds including 20 offensive boards in their season-opening win over Kingswood.

“We only had nine offensive rebounds and 34 total this time,” he said. “We didn’t pull down enough while St. Thomas did a nice job of crashing the boards.”

The Eagles were without the services of junior forward Lauren Kidder, who sustained a facial injury after taking an elbow in the closing minutes against Kingswood. Meader hoped to see Kidder return to the lineup yesterday when Kennett ventured to Plymouth. Results were not known as of press time.

Senior Casey Blakely led the Eagles with 14 points and 13 rebounds. “Casey had a great game,” Meader said.

Point guard Jordan Murphy added 10 points while Katlin “Shaq” Taylor and Jessie Wagner each had 6 points while Lauren White added 4.

Meaghan Flynn led St. Thomas with 14 points while Anderson (11 points) and Blair Fennimam (9) each added three three-points in the game.

Kennett returns to the hardwood this Thursday at 6:30 p.m. when Laconia comes to town. The Sachems are 0-2 on the season after falling 59-23 on Dec. 13 at home to Merrimack Valley (1-0), and 74-31 at home to Souhegan (1-1) on Friday.

“It’s a big week for us,” Meader said.

“It would be nice to have some momentum heading into the holidays.”

Kennett will got to the annual Mike Lee Tournament in Farmington over the Christmas break and could play as many as four games. went on the timeout after the game, “We wanted to get Bright the ball and let him penetrate and either finish or dish off to someone.”

Greely came out in a soft 2-3 defense after playing man to man all night, likely due to their inability to match up with Amoako and keep him out of the paint. The move showed great respect for Amoako’s ability to beat Greely defenders off the dribble.

The Raiders still wanted to get the ball to Amoako, even with Greely in a zone, but he was unable to penetrate against the zone.

Mallory took a three-point shot from the top of the key with time running down, and Obradovic grabbed the rebound. Off balance on the rebound, Obradovic could not gather himself and lost his footing. The officials called travel when Obradovic hit the floor.

The Raiders intentionally fouled Greely twice in the closing seconds and fell behind 53-50. Amoako launched a desperation three from the backcourt with time expiring to no avail. Although the Raiders fell to 0-4, Saunders saw some positives in the game, “We played hard and we executed. It was a good game and we had a chance to win at the end.”

• The last time Bode was on the DH podium here, the U.S. boys brought rain with five in the top 10.

That was ‘08. It’d be a stretch to see that kind of performance this year, but it’s possible. Andrew and Sully are still on the mend – so to speak – but working back up to full charge.

Both have been in the points a few times this season and can easily put on a show. Fish essentially made his debut on this hill in ‘08 with seventh (from bib 52) and everyone is waiting to see when Travis will do the same.

• Fish, Warhorse, Sully, Ganong start 33-36. It’s going to happen fast.

• Wiley “Danger” Maple scored his first World Cup points in yesterday’s SG (from bib 61) and today marks the first World Cup start for Dartmouth’s Ace Tarberry. Man that’s a cool name. Now we’ll have to see if his “rookie” haircut does it justice.

a veteran ball club that I think is capable of giving people fits. I was impressed with them.”

The Eagles snapped the Saint’s 18-0 run when Seth Davison hit a jumper with 2:16 to play in the first quarter. Ryan Vajentic added a pair of free throws with 10 seconds remaining to make it a 24-4 contest after the opening eight minutes.

The Saints went on a 10-0 run to stretch the lead to 34-4 to begin the second quarter, but then KHS went on a 9-0 run of its own to pull to 34-13. Cocaptain Robert Starkey hit four free throws in the run while Dustin Stewart added a pair of rebound put backs for baskets and freshman Jordan Stockers scored his first varsity point with a free throw with 1:50 left in the first half.

Stocker was just heating up as he closed the second period with a pair of layups and a jumper to help close the St. Thomas advantage at the intermission to 38-19.

“The one thing that I really like about this team is there is no one superstar,” Cote said. “We have a lot of guys of equal ability who can step up and contribute. These guys all love to compete. We had a two and a half hour practice on Sunday and I had to stop it or they would have kept going. Every one of these guys wants to get better and they’re putting in the time to do so.”

Just as they had the first two periods, the Saints opened the third frame with another run, outscoring the hosts 8-0 to again stretch the lead to 46-19. They led 52-31 after three quarters.

Stocker led the Eagles in scoring with 13 points while Starkey added 10; Stewart, 6; Vajentic, 5; Alex Houghton-Lyman, 3; Nate Ela, Michael Lautenschlager and Davison each added 2.

“All in all again we don’t mention moral victories,” Cote said, “but we did learn a lot from that game. I think the last three periods were more indicative of how we feel we can play and compete.”

The Eagles returned to the hardwood last night when they hosted rival; Plymouth (0-1). Results of the game were not known as of press time.

“We always have great battles with Plymouth and I’m sure this will be no different,” Cote said. Plymouth dropped its opener 70-48 at Hanover on Friday.

Kennett will close out the pre-holiday break on Thursday with a trip to Laconia. The Sachems are 0-1 on the season after falling 70-42 at Souhegan Friday.

The Eagles will play in the annual Mike Lee Holiday Tournament in Farmington next week. They’re guaranteed to play a minimum of three games and possibly four if they reach the title game.

Coach Hall leaves the bench after 10 years

BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — The Conway School Board approved its winter coaching slate for Kennett High and for the first time in 10 years there was no longer a name associated with the hockey team — Peter Hall. Hall has retired from the program which he helped guide to forefront of the sport in the Granite State for a decade.

Hall was honored at the annual alumni hockey game on Nov. 27. He was presented with a granite stone to go next to the trophy case within Ham Ice Arena for his 10 years of commitment to the program.

“Peter gave 10 years to this program,” Michael Lane, Eagles’ head coach, said. “He’s done a lot for Kennett hockey. Over the years, he spent a lot of time on long bus rides and in cold rinks because he loves the game and the kids.”

Lane praised Hall for making his transition to the coaching ranks five years ago a smooth one. “Peter just has a knack for making everyone feel comfortHOCKEY EAGLES from page 13

“We’re happy to be 2-0,” Lane said. “It’s the sort of start we had hoped for.

The Eagles got all of the offense they needed when they got on the scoreboard just over three minutes into Saturday’s game. Senior Kevin Murphy took a feed from Connor Todd and beat John Stark goalie Connor McDonald under the cross bar to make it 1-0.

Kennett extended the lead to 2-0 late in the period.

Justin Munck, who had a strong game according to Coach Lane, made a nice hit on the fore-check behind the net to free the puck for Cody Richard, who found Massa in front of the net. The talented junior made no mistake from close range, back handing the puck into the back of the net for the 2-0 lead cushion.

In front 2-0, Eagles faced a host of penalties in the second period. They took six penalties, spending much of the period in the box. Fortunately, the KHS penalty killers were up to the task, killing off all the chances.

“Our penalty-kill was real good,” Lane said. “Gabe (Lee), James (Gallo) and Anthony (LaRusso) were all really solid as was our defense. We kept shots to the perimeter and Bish did a great job of not allowing any rebounds.”

able,” he said. “I’ve been (head coach) for five years and Peter had an ease about him. Even though we’d never worked together before, within a week it was like we’d been together for 10 years. Certainly he’s going to be missed and I really can’t say enough about what he’s meant to hockey in this valley.”

A former Kennett alumni and force on the ice for the Eagles — Todd Frechette — has joined the coaching ranks. He’ll be on the bench with Coach Lane and assistant coach Justin Frechette.

“Todd is doing great,” Lane said. “He’s already developed a good relationship with a number of players on the team. He understands the game and what Kennett hockey is all about.”

Frechette will be the team’s offensive coach.

“He’s prepared,” Lane said. “Todd has a good way of dealing with kids. I think he’s going to help us continue to be successful. (Laughing) Having Todd on the staff creates a a confusing situation for me.

I’ve got to try to figure out what to do with two Coach Frechettes. Now when I tell a player to go see Coach Frechette, I’ve got to tell them which one.”

Kennett added an insurance goal with a minute to play when Massa scored an empty-net goal.

“It’s great to see a kid like Nick get rewarded for his hard work,” said Lane.

Lane also praised the play of defensemen Chris King, Matt Kelly and Dan Rivera, who all logged a lot of minutes.

“They played a ton of minutes,” Lane said, “and did a great job of keeping things on the perimeter in front of John. “…Overall, I think John Stark was better than we thought they’d be,” he continued. “Coming off the Laconia win (12-0 last Wednesday), I knew practice would be sloppy on Thursday and it was. We don’t practice on Fridays, so I feared we’d come out flat, but to the kids’ credit they had their skating legs nude them from the outset.”

The Eagles are back on home ice Wednesday when they host defending state champs Somersworth at 5 p.m. This is the first match-up since last year’s title game which saw the Hilltoppers win 8-3.

“It’s a new season, were both different teams but one thing that is always the same is we have a great rivalry,” Lane said. “There is a lot of respect between the two programs, I am sure both teams will be ready to play. The Hilltoppers are 0-2 on the season but have won the last four meetings between the two programs.”

KHS basketball teams raise funds for Angels & Elves CONWAY — The Kennett High School Boys and Girls Basketball Programs helped raise monies for the Kiwanis Club of Mt. Washington Valley’s Angels & Elves program during its 4th Annual Benefit Pancake Breakfast held on Dec. 10 at Mineral Spring Café.

The players were on hand to welcome and serve all guests as well as hand out game schedules and also signed a few autographs for the kids.

All of money raised at the event will be donated to the Kiwanis Club of Mt. Washington Valley in support of Angels & Elves.

Angels and Elves is a countywide program initiative that, for greater efficiency, incorporates under one umbrella a group of formerly separate children’s Christmas gift drives. The number of children provided for varies from year to year. Last year they numbered over 650, an all-time high.

The most meaningful statistic was the number of first-time applicants, according to Dick Ficke, Mount Washington Valley Kiwanis Club project coordinator for the Angels and Elves

program.

The KHS Basketball program is pleased to support such a worthwhile cause and the players and coaches look forward to seeing many friends and supporters at this event.

Special recognition goes to contributing sponsors: Sherman Farm, Margarita Grill, Minuteman Press, Turkey Street Maples, NorthCenter Food Service, Young Maple Ridge Sugarhouse, Believe In Books 100 Acre Wood Maple Syrup, KHS Key Club and the host, Mineral Spring Café.

Congratulations to Freedom’s Philip Mathieu and Kyle Niiler (2013) and Kristina DeWitt (2012) on their induction into Kennett’s National Honor Society this past week.

The First Christian Church welcomes all to a traditional candlelight Christmas Eve service at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 24. Once again, the Children's Pageant, under the guidance of Music Director Carolyn Olzerowicz, will delight all young and old. Flautist Dana Demore will perform during the prelude and drummer Sam Mason will accompany the choir processional, "African Noel." Rev. Dr. Robert Bossdorf will return to the pulpit as guest minister. Come join us and experience the love, peace, hope and joy of the Christmas Season.

With so many families struggling to put food on their tables in these tough economic times, the role of the Freedom Food Pantry in helping to bring holiday meals to area residents becomes that much more crucial. Recognizing the importance of their vital role in the community, the Freedom Masonic Lodge is proud to have made a $1,000 donation to the Freedom Food Pantry to assist in their efforts.

Join the Masons at their next public breakfast on Sunday, Jan 15 at the Masonic Hall across from Abbott’s and Staples. The breakfast price is $10 and is not to be missed.

The children from Freedom Elementary School will be in the seasonal spirit this coming Thursday when they walk from the school to the library singing Christmas carols. If you want to listen to them in comfort, stop by the Freedom Village Store sometime after 10:30 a.m. to watch the children’s parade. The Big Day is almost here and if you have not yet found that perfect gift, it might be at the Freedom Village Store or at least you can pick up a gift certificate. It was another successful Men’s Night with an unexpected visit from Mrs. Claus. Winner of last week’s 50/50 was Mark McKinley. The Board of Directors of the Freedom Village Store wishes everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy Hanukah.

Carol and Bill McIntire would like to thank all those who kept Bill Jr. in their prayers as he underwent a successful kidney transplant surgery recently. Bill is now resting comfortably and the kidney has already started to function. Thank you for your donations to help make this operation possible.

Update on the firetruck purchase from unofficial notes of the Selectman’s Meeting: Five years ago, the need for a new tank truck was brought forth. $30,000 a year (most years) was put into a capital reserve account and that account is now at $161,000.

The current truck was purchased in 1985 and has been refitted to the point where it is top heavy and only has a capacity of 1000 gallons. It’s value on the market is probably about $5,000. Gene Doe contacted eight companies and received proposals from five.

The one that Gene favored is "4Guys" from Pelham.

The company emphasized the need for a truck that can climb the hills around Freedom and also withstand the conditions of the roads and the snow/salt of the winter. The quote was $260 to $265,000. The full report can be found at the Town Office but this info, submitted by a couple of residents, sums up a bit what was discussed at the meeting. see next page

DILBERT

by Scott Adams

By Holiday Mathis challenge. Whether or not you succeed will be irrelevant. You’ll stretch, grow and think a little more of yourself through each part of your process.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Volunteering takes many forms. You don’t have to be involved with a nonprofit, church or charity in order to uplift humanity. Today you’ll make a difference by giving your warmth, a listening ear and a smile.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Someone wants to know about your process. Whether this is about a recipe, a way of working or a method of organizing your life, be judicious in the sharing of information. Your methods have real value.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

You’ll be of great help and guidance.

Others are depending on you -- especially someone you know who is confused. This one needs to stop asking questions and stand in what is known.

Help this person along.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). While you take the time to speculate, someone else rushes in to seize the moment.

Watch and learn. The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 20).

Wherever you go this year, you’ll make it your goal to bring joy to others and to find joy there, too. It’s part of what makes you so popular. You have new passion and purpose for your work in January. June is like one long social experiment. You’ll be involved with a group whose ideas you can really stand behind in May. Taurus and Leo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 49, 3, 31, 20 and 15.

Get Fuzzy

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You will befriend the friendless. Those who have been displaced or who are just wandering through will find a tender heart in you. You’ll bring out the best qualities in others.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). As long as your expectations are reasonable and your to-do list is realistic and manageable, it will be a fine day for executing a series of successful undertakings.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The demands of your personal life are steep lately, and it might also be hard for you to see why your efforts matter. Friendships are important, but so is your sanity. Pull back. Strive for balance.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Having a pleasant time with a loved one will not bring you as close as the shared thrill of risk and adventure. That’s why an element of danger will be just the bonding agent you crave.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll have a choice between investing in your life experiences and investing in material goods. Choose the former. The memories you make and the self-esteem you build will outlast possessions.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll tell people what’s in your heart. Many would consider this to be a difficult undertaking, but there are times when you’re so overcome with feeling that it’s the easiest thing in the world for you to do.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You are usually comforted by patterns, and you easily sync your personal rhythms to the routines of life. However, today you will benefit from a pattern interruption.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll raise your self-esteem by taking on a

by Abigail Van Buren

HUSBAND WHO’S A GREAT DAD HAS LITTLE TO GIVE TO HIS WIFE

DEAR ABBY: I have been married for 13 years to a good guy who is a great dad. We have two boys, ages 9 and 11. The problem is, we don’t communicate. We hardly have sex and we don’t get along at all.

I feel like I have sacrificed physical and emotional intimacy so my kids can have both parents in their lives full-time.

When I think of writing down my husband’s attributes, all I can think of is that he’s a good dad, good worker and helps out around the house. But I have no problem coming up with a list of bad things.

Am I selfish? Should I just smother my emotions and go on like I have been all these years? -- UNFULFILLED IN GEORGIA DEAR UNFULFILLED: It’s not selfish to want emotional and physical intimacy with another person. It’s normal, and your husband may miss it, too.

There’s an alternative to ending your marriage, and that is fighting to save it. It would require effort from both of you and the services of a licensed marriage counselor. However, if it works, I know you’ll thank me. And if it doesn’t, at least you will know you tried. Why not suggest to your husband that you make it your first New Year’s resolution?

DEAR ABBY: Right now I’m so tired I can hardly write this letter asking for the advice I need. I work the 11 p.m.-7 a.m. shift at a prison. Because I’m home during the day, everyone assumes I am available to socialize. How do I get through to them that I sleep during the day and work at night? A lot of people -- including my husband -- will say to me, “What?

You’re not up YET?” when I have been asleep for only three hours.

I have thought about calling these people from work at

2 a.m. asking, “Aren’t you up YET?” Then they might get the picture. What do you think? -- WORKING A 40-HOUR WEEK AT AGE 73 DEAR WORKING: The insensitivity of the folks in your circle is surprising. And as for your husband, did you marry someone who is sadistic or selfish? Tell him that if he wants to enjoy the benefits of your paycheck, he will have to make sure you get enough sleep to earn one.

When people call or come by and disturb your rest, tell them plainly you do not want to be disturbed before a certain time. Then turn off your phone, let callers leave messages on your voicemail and return them when you’re fully awake. As to those who still drop by -- by all means call them at 2 a.m.

DEAR ABBY: Christmas is fast approaching. Our family get-together consists of a crazy celebration where we draw numbers and choose a gift in numerical order. If we want, we can choose a gift that someone already has.

I’d like your opinion on re-gifting. Each year some family members just bring the gift they received last year, rewrapped. I think if someone doesn’t care enough to shop for a $20 gift for a family exchange, it takes away from the idea of gift-giving. What do you think? -- JIM IN AMARILLO, TEXAS DEAR JIM: I think you should find your sense of humor where you misplaced it, and stop looking a gift horse in the mouth. The kind of party you describe is done for laughs, and none of the gifts is selected with one specific person in mind if it can be claimed by another.

TO MY JEWISH READERS: Tonight at sundown the eight days of Hanukkah begin. Happy Hanukkah, everyone! May all of you enjoy a joyous festival of lights.

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

Tri-County CAP training drivers for new Blue Loon bus service; start up anticipated soon, date not set CHOCORUA — Plans are still under way to get the Carroll County “Blue Loon” public route system operational as soon as possible according to Beverly Raymond, director of Tri-County CAP’s Transportation Division. The Tri-County Community Action website notes that the Blue Loon is gearing up to begin operating by the end of 2011, but an operational date has not been posted.

“We have interviewed for drivers and are now completing record checks. As soon as those are done we’ll hire and begin training. Training for these positions is intensive and can take several weeks before a driver feels confident and comfortable,” Raymond said in a recent press release.

The 16-passenger wheelchair-accessible buses that will be used for the system have arrived. The system that will include an all-day flex-route connector originating in Wolfeboro, running north along Route 28 to West Ossipee and continue north along Route 16 to Conway and North Conway.

The service will be provided using two buses running in opposite directions.

Transfer between the northbound and southbound buses will take place in West Ossipee.

The service is referred to as a “deviated route” due to the fact that the buses will travel on a designated route according to a published schedule that will include additional time to allow the buses to deviate to serve passengers within one quarter mile of the route.

Additionally, a fixedroute connector will operate twice a day between West Ossipee and Laconia.

The public route service will be complemented by the Carroll County Transit doorto-door service that began in December 2010. The public route will enable people to get to places outside of the door-to-door service areas within Carroll County. The service will operate five days per week.

Raymond said the

staff and advisory committee are currently planning a kick-off event. The event will be open to the public with everyone welcome to walk through the buses and take a ride along one of the routes the buses will be traveling.

Members of the Carroll County Transit Advisory Committee will be on hand to greet, meet,

and educate people on how to ride on the public route bus service. Brochures, refreshments and goodie bags will be available.

For more information about Tri-County CAP Transit services in Carroll County, or to arrange a ride, call (603) 752-1741 / toll-free (888) 9972020 or visit the website at www.tccap.org.
