A nonstop party (but what’s the address?)

LOS ANGELES (NY Times) — Getting to this party took commitment. The chosen had to RSVP early to get on the guest list but were not told where they were going. The address came later, by e-mail: Be at a dimly lighted parking lot just east of the Los Angeles River at 1 a.m. They lined up at a corrugated steel fence, shivering in their furs and leather jackets on the chilly December night.

Security at “Sarcastic Disco,” an underground party in downtown Los Angeles, tries to keep order at the door, as partygoers push to get inside. From there, a shuttle took them to an empty warehouse on an industrial street south of downtown, where allnight drinks and dance beats awaited. Unlike New York, the city of Los Angeles does sleep. When the clock strikes 2 a.m. bars close down and clubs stop serving alcohol.

But a lively underground after-hours scene is moving to fill the void with an everchanging menu of unlicensed dance clubs and pop-up speak-easies. Like those of Chicago in the 1920s and the wild after-sunrise dance parties in New York of the 1980s and the 1990s, their very illicitness is the key to their allure.

“You kind of feel like you’re taking your life in your hands going into these warehouses,” said John Lavin. “But that’s part of the appeal.”

SAYWHAT...

“

Never give a sword to a man who can’t dance.”

—Confucius

City in Syria simmers as monitors enter ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– WORLD/NATION–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

BEIRUT, Lebanon (NY Times) — Residents of the Syrian city of Homs said the government pulled some of its tanks from the streets on Tuesday morning, shortly before Arab League observers arrived to monitor pledges by the government to withdraw troops and heavy weapons from residential areas.

But sporadic fighting continued on Tuesday morning in Baba Amr, the neighbor-

hood hardest hit by the violence that has left dozens of people dead in recent days, residents said. Activists said some tanks were still visible. They claimed others were being hidden.

Early Tuesday, a contingent of observers met with the governor of Homs and then with opposition figures inside the city.

Ahmed, an activist with the Local Coordination Committees in Homs, said in a

telephone interview that he was among a group of people escorting observers from Sudan, Egypt, Algeria and Mauritania. As the group tried to visit a mosque where several bodies were being stored, they were stopped by gunfire coming from a government checkpoint.

Activists posted a video on the Internet on Tuesday that they said showed several men pleading with the observers.

Iran threatens to block oil Obama to nominate two if West sets new sanctions for vacancies on fed board (NY Times) — Iran issued a blunt warning on Tuesday that it would block the Strait of Hormuz, the world’s most important oil transit point, if Western powers attempt to impose an embargo on Iranian petroleum exports in their campaign to isolate the country over its suspect nuclear energy program.

The warning, issued by Vice President Mohammad Reza Rahimi, came as Iran’s naval forces were in the midst of a 10-day war games exercise in a vast area of the Arabian Sea and Gulf of

Oman. The Strait of Hormuz, a narrow passage that connects the Gulf of Oman to the Persian Gulf, is the route for one third of the world’s oil-tanker traffic.

“If Iran oil is banned not a single drop of oil will pass through Hormuz Strait,” Rahimi was quoted as saying by the official Islamic Republic News Agency at a conference in Tehran.

“We are not interested in any hostility,” he was quoted as saying.

“Our motto is friendship and brotherhood, but Westerners are not willing to abandon their plots.”

WASHINGTON (NY Times) — President Obama said Tuesday that he would nominate a Harvard economist and a former Treasury official to fill the two vacant seats on the Federal Reserve’s board of governors.

Jeremy C. Stein, a Harvard professor who worked briefly for the Obama administration in early 2009, has particular expertise in the workings of financial markets. Jerome H. Powell, currently a visiting scholar at the Bipartisan Policy Center, brings private sector experience in the same area. He worked for almost a decade as a partner at the Carlyle Group, a private equity fund. Powell also served as Treasury under secretary for finance in the administration of President George H. W. Bush.

The nominations end months of waiting for the White House to resume its effort to fill the vacancies after it was forced to withdraw the nomination of an earlier candidate, the Nobel Prize laureate Peter Diamond, because Senate Republicans would not allow a vote.

Woman says boyfriend’s shooting was accident ROCHESTER — A Dover woman told police that she didn’t know a gun was loaded when she shot her boyfriend early Christmas morning after the two had been fighting all night.

Jessica Rivera Padilla, 24, was charged with manslaughter in the shooting death of Shaheen Michaels, 25. Prosecutors said Michaels was shot in the head.

In court Tuesday, a visibly upset and crying Padilla was arraigned by video. According to court documents, Padilla told police that her boyfriend

had been drinking and threatening suicide. She said she pointed a gun at him, said, “Is this what you want for our future?” and then pulled the trigger. She told officers at the scene that she didn’t know the gun was loaded, according to court documents.

Michaels was found dead at 2:30 a.m.

Christmas morning in the Dover apartment the two shared on Knox Marsh Road. A probable cause hearing is scheduled for Jan. 6. Bail was set at $100,000.

Nearly all N.H. ski areas now open JACKSON — The number of open ski areas in New Hampshire has nearly tripled in the past two weeks as colder temperatures and some snow finally arrived.

With opening day at Black Mountain in Jackson on Tuesday, 17 of the state’s downhill ski areas are now open. The industry group Ski NH

said the only exception is Abenaki Ski Area, the community-owned and operated ski area in Wolfeboro.

Northeast ski resorts generally try to open by Thanksgiving, but warmerthan-usual nighttime temperatures delayed some openings this year.

Used cars can become tax deductions

MANCHESTER — If you’re planning to get rid of an old car, you can earn a last-minute tax deduction by donating it to a Manchester charity.

For 15 years, the Good News Garage in Manchester has been refurbishing old cars for low-income working families who have no transportation. More than 800 families have received vehicles, while donors get a tax write-off for the fair market value of their cars.

The nonprofit said it will pick up

donated vehicles, which don’t even have to be in working condition. But time is running out to get a tax deduction this year.

“As long as we have a signed title in hand on Saturday, Dec. 31, it will count as a 2011 tax deduction,” said Nick Latagne of the Good News Garage.

Details on donating can be found on the charity’s website or by calling 877-GIVE-AUTO. —Courtesy of WMUR

What ‘Romney-Believe in America’ means To the editor: Seeing as how The Conway Daily Sun has recently endorsed Mitt Romney for President I thought you and those who plan to vote for him in the Primary might like to know what “RomneyBelieve in America” really means.

Last Thursday a dozen Occupy Conway protestors attended Romney’s tightly scripted town hall meeting at Kennett Middle School.

We were not there to protest Romney but to send our message to local residents as they arrived at the event.

The protestors stood outside the entrance holding signs that read “Human Need Not Corporate Greed.” “Due to Budget Cuts the Light at the End of the Tunnel Has Been Turned Off,” “Why Does the 1 percent Have Two Parties But We Have None” “We Are the 99 percent”, “Freedom of Speech is a Birthright”.

None of the signs were anti Romney. The protestors did not speak to people as they entered the building and were well away from the walkway where people entered.

Shorty before Governor Romney alighted from his bus, Conway Police, at the request of the Romney Campaign, asked the protestors to leave or at least go around to the front of the school well away from the entrance to the event. Initially some of the protestors questioned the request and were told that Romney had rented the building for the evening and as such had the right to ask us to leave. One protestor was asked if he wished to

be arrested but after a few minutes of further questioning the protestors moved to the roadway by the Conway Elementary School well away from the entrance to the event.

This kind of behavior on the part of the Romney Campaign is troubling to say the least as it seems that free speech was dispensed with so that his event could be sanitized and the inconvenient truths represented by the protestors’ placards removed from view. For a man aspiring to be the Leader of the Free World this is indeed shocking that a few citizens in a small New Hampshire town could cause him so much concern. (But then again he is a one percenter and should be concerned!)

As local taxpayers, the protestors also wondered about why the School District would rent the building to a partisan group that would so readily dispense with some local citizens rights. Then there was the speculation that the Romney Campaign had only rented the cafeteria not the whole building and had overstepped the terms of their contact by asking the protestors to leave the area especially since we had no intention of going inside to interrupt his dog and pony show.

Mitt, you’re asking people to “Believe in America”.

Just what America is that?

Just for practice let’s all say it together now – “We the People…” Not just some – all!

Transparency needed in how selectmen spend money To the editor: Don’t the selectmen of Bartlett have better things to do than write asinine rebuttals to The Conway Daily Sun’s “Tele-Talk” responses to defend their ridiculous behavior(s)?

It’s too late to reel in the money that the Bartlett Selectmen have spent since Irene. Yes, we needed to repair the damage left in wake of Miss “Irene,” but couldn’t they have been a bit more frugal minded? That $800,000 is a lot of precious tax money for one single stretch of road, regardless of what level of government is paying part of its repair.

No larger culvert would’ve staved off the damage to Cow Hill Road; that new extra large culvert was not necessary. I am sympathetic to the needs of the fine residents who reside along that section of road known as Cow Hill, but the selectmen could’ve scaled down it’s repair expense, significantly, if they had the mind to.

We the taxpayers and citizens of Bartlett pay our federal government taxes as well. How do the selectmen think FEMA re-supplies its coffers when they are depleted? It is a no brainer, thank you very much.

There is just not enough transparency in the way the Bartlett Selectmen spend our money. Just look at how much money the town has spent litigating against small business here in Bartlett — wait, you can’t, there’s no transparency!

Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been spent from Bartlett’s limited taxes to oppress small businesses and keep them from prospering in town through different sources of legal expenditures. For instance: the town attorney’s involvement with

land use issues has been primarily (but not limited to): • Calling in survey companies to verify particular boundaries when there are disputes.

• Creating unnecessary requirements for basic signage applications and septic approvals that are then often arbitrarily denied for no legitimate cause, and so end up costing more money and time to re-apply.

• Unreasonable claims of set-back violations in the form of lot lines being too close to each other (supposedly).

The challenges against legality have been made whether in a civil court or at town hall for nonsensical issues, most of the time with expensive lawyers being brought in to argue their respective cases. I know of a few off the top of my head: Will’s Inn, Christmas Mountain Amenities, Gilmore’s Construction Co., A Better Life and Cabins, Northern Extremes, Linderhoff Condominiums, LLC and Lil’ Man Snowmobile Rentals … just to name a few.

These small businesses have been burdened with having to hire expensive lawyers to fight for what rightfully belonged to them because of the Bartlett selectmen’s austere land use ordinances. These ordinances were adopted without well-advertised public forum or public comment because of the “good ol’ boy” mentality that resides in the selectman’s office.

Last sentence to their one-sided diatribe: “We could have probably done it cheaper but … brace yourself for a substantial impact to your tax bill.”

I am a candidate for Bartlett Selectman.

These projects would not be practical without subsidies To the editor: I just finished reading Barbara Tetreault’s article about the Wind Farm in Dummer. At the very end she refers to the federal subsidies the project received, “Smith-Galvin had no comment on a New York Times newspaper article that estimated the wind farm had received so many federal subsidies that they covered 48 to 80 percent of the price of the project, which the article placed at $229 million.” Since I know people that work for Brookfield (including my wife), I raised the question to a friend who works in the finance department. Actually 80 percent of the project was guaranteed (not to be confused with subsidized) by the Department of Energy; 30 percent of the project was subsidized by way of grants through the federal government.

I hope that this isn’t a surprise to anyone. There is just no way that these projects would be practical to build without the subsidies. Brookfield is an renewable energy invest-

ment company. It has shareholders to answer to. The return on investment would be nil without these subsidies.

Is this something that I support. Only for the short term. Wind farms, hybrid automobiles, and natural gas (per T. Boone Pickens) are all short term, temporary solutions that when scrutinized more closely are not terribly green. Their biggest claim to fame is that they don’t use much oil to operate. Their impact on the environment, when you look at the energy required to produce, install and dispose of these things does not paint a very green picture.

We simply need to remember that these are all part of a very small first step (of getting off of our oil addiction) and not the final green solution. The subsidies, which have been around for quite a while (before Obama) are necessary to encourage investment. We just need to be careful as we proceed.

Marriage and family between one man, one woman To the editor: To hell with reality, say some.

For example, marriage and the family are between one man and one woman. That statement is not an opinion. It’s the absolute truth.

It’s not debatable or controversial.

That’s creation. That’s the way it is.

Don’t like it? Too bad. Get real.

Solution? Take it up with the Almighty.

I’m sure He will listen.

continued to stream in from the hall as 6:30 p.m. came and went, and the town had to print more ballots to accommodate the number of voters.

Officials had been concerned the meeting day of Dec. 26 would hurt turnout, but by the time discussion on the single article before the voters began, it was standing-room-only in the town hall meeting room.

Selectman Gene Chandler apologized for the inconvenient meeting date, but, “The whole fall season’s been a little inconvenient,” he said.

The town was looking for permission to borrow up to $2 million to pay the upfront costs of infrastructure repairs. The town listed 20 projects totaling more than $1.6 million, projects the federal government will eventually reimburse 75 percent of the costs the town has to cover initially.

“The impact will be significant if we have to pay that in one year,” Chandler said.

The bond would spread the costs out over either three or five years, reducing taxpayers’ year-to-year burden and giving the federal checks time to come in.

One person asked why the town is asking for $2 million if the projects total $1.6 million.

“We’re not going to bond for any

more than we need,” Chandler said, explaining that the $2 million figure is just what selectmen are looking for permission to borrow if it comes to that amount.

Several people asked questions about specific roads or sections of river, and one man asked if the town was going to be ready for the next flood event. The town is trying to do everything it can as quickly as possible, Chandler said, following the engineers’ instructions.

There are still problems on the Saco River, selectman Doug Garland said. The town is doing what it can to address those problems, but there are layers of bureaucracy to deal with.

At that the roomful of voters showed their gratitude for the efforts of the three selectmen and the town staff in the wake of the storm. “We want to thank you for all the work you’ve done,” one man said, which inspired resounding applause.

Selectman Garland took that as a positive sign as people lined up to drop their ballots in the box.

“I like to think common sense prevails,” he said.

When all the votes were accounted for the article passed 94 to 8, overwhelmingly in favor of borrowing the money as the selectmen had hoped.

“I’m glad people showed up,” Chandler said.

* Lawmakers had an unusual conversation about how to save money at the county department of corrections with powdered milk and stun guns. Lawmakers were told that using powdered milk at the jail could save $17,000 but the change could lead to riots. But one state representative “brainstormed� that the jail could make the switch to powdered milk if staff had more Tasers on hand to “zap� unruly inmates.

February * Lawmakers heard a proposal to have the county farm raise pigs and cattle. County farm supervisor Will DeWitte asked the delegation for a $49,200 increase to his budget for starting a livestock program. Lawmakers ultimately said no. However, the county commission allowed Dewitt to conduct a pilot program, which was supported by private donors, including state representatives Betsey Patten (R-Moultonborough) and David Babson (R-Ossipee).

truck. In February, residents and firefighters asked about the whereabouts of a fire truck. Nobody on the commission could give a satisfactory answer.

Then fire chief Brad Eldridge explained that he had the truck sent down South, where he felt if had a better chance of selling. Eldridge said he was using a broker to sell it on the Internet. Commissioners said the chief didn't have the authority to send the truck out of state. Carroll County Sheriff's Office told a fire commissioner that the case was under an "ongoing, active investigation." * Under pressure from the county attorney, commissioners rescinded their policy on the impound yard, which would have forced local police departments to store vehicles being held in evidence rather than use the county yard. County attorney Tom Dewhurst came to a commission meeting on April 13 to challenge a memo from the commission which said law enforcement agencies were no longer welcome to store impounded vehicles on county property. Those vehicles are typically evidence in criminal cases or were involved in crashes.

Albee called Kenney "irrelevant" and Kenney called Albee a "sore loser."

Albee came to the meeting to offer Kenney some apparently unwelcome political advice. Albee suggested that Kenney make political alliances so she isn't always on the losing end of votes.

June * Despite a lack of funding from taxpayers, county farm supervisor Will DeWitte has found a way to have livestock on the county farm. DeWitte is raising five pigs for his family's use on the county's grounds. In exchange for the space, DeWitte and the UNH Cooperative Extension agree to present several educational programs about raising swine. The first program was held on June 21. * A controversial compensation package of the highest paid employee at the sheriff's office was brought up again at a county commission meeting. Sheriff Christopher Conley announced that Capt. David Meyers' compensation package transitioned to an $80,000 salary on April. 1. Last year, Meyers earned about $79,500 with base wage and roughly $20,000 in overtime. The sheriff himself only earns $60,000. Meyers had core responsibilities as an executive officer and the computer systems administrator. Corrections department Capt.

Mike Fowler questioned if it's fair for Meyers to get such a raise even if he works two jobs. Most employees in the county will only be getting 2 percent raises. Former county commissioner Chip Albee blasted officials for converting the sheriff's captain's post into an $80,000 salaried job.

July * A public hearing on moving UNH Cooperative Extension drew a standing-room-only crowd. An overwhelming majority of attendees told lawmakers the extension service should move to Ossipee. This county's branch of University of New Hampshire Cooperative Extension office is located in commercial office space in Conway. However, a majority of county commissioners would like to move the extension service into the old Mountain View Nursing Home building. At the time, the county was

building a new nursing home, which opened in September.

August * The highest paid sheriff's employee announced his plans to retire at the end of the year. Capt. David Meyers' compensation package transitioned to an $80,000 salary in the spring.

September * After over a year of construction, the ribbon was finally cut on the county's new nursing home, being called Mountain View Community.

Hundreds of friends, family and well wishers attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony held in a tent in front of the new building. The groundbreaking was held in April of 2010. After the ribbon-cutting, attendees took the tour of the 85,000-square-foot facility — which is twice as big as its predecessor, Mountain View Nursing Home. The former nursing home was dark and cramped but the new home is spacious and well lit. Lawmakers approved the funding for the new home in an 11-3 vote in November of 2009. * The county sheriff called for an investigation — into himself. In response to Rep. Frank McCarthy (R-Conway) questioned the legality of the sheriff's clothing expenditures, sheriff Christopher Conley asked the New Hampshire Attorney General to investigate himself to prove no wrongdoing. The AG’s office didn’t pursue an investigation. McCarthy had been critical of Conley's decision to use county money to purchase boots, gloves and dry-cleaning service. McCarthy questioned if Conley had the authority to generate those expenses. If that authority doesn't exist, Conley should reimburse the county, said McCarthy.

October * Hannaford's supermarket in Ossipee apologized for being slow to pay for the pumpkins that the county farm sold Hannaford's last year. Farm supervisor Will DeWitte told commissioners he tried to collect for months after the sale, which happened in September of 2010. At one point, DeWitte said he was directed to the grocer's office down South. After phoning and faxing for months, DeWitte gave up in frustration. The Conway Daily Sun see COUNTY page 14

Budget committee questions town services for Hales Location

BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — Members of the Conway Municipal Budget Committee believe residents in Hales Location are getting a good deal from the town when it comes to services — maybe too good.

Budget committee members invited Conway Town Manager Earl Sires and police chief Ed Wagner to their meeting recently to discuss services for Hales Location.

Hales Location is a township in Carroll County.

In New Hampshire, locations, grants, townships (which are different from towns) and purchases are unincorporated portions of a county which are not part of any town and have limited self-government (if any, as many are uninhabited).

The budget committee asked what services the town provides to Hales Location. Sires explained residents in Hales receive direct services such as voter registration and elections along with vehicle registration and police service.

Sires explained the town registers voters and handles elections for residents of Hales Location and charges Hales the cost of providing these services.

The town also provides vehicle registration services and charges Hales an amount that covers all associated costs.

In terms of police services, Sires said Conway Police Department has responded once in the past five years to Hales Location to a mutual aid call from the Carroll County Sheriff's Department. The police department does, however, dispatch North Conway Fire and North Conway Ambulance there, for which there is no financial compensation.

"The one time we responded we ended up in a lawsuit," Sires said.

Budget committee member Ted Sares wondered why the topic was even being discussed. "Let the record show it's a waste of time," he said.

Wagner said over the past five years, the dispatch center at the police department has dispatched fire and ambulance services 72 times to Hales Location.

Wagner said over the past five years, the dispatch center at the police department has dispatched fire and ambulance services 72 times to Hales Location.

During that same period, Wagner said the center dispatched fire and ambulance to the town of Eaton 144 times along with 10 police responses. Also during that time frame, Conway PD dispatched ambulance and fire service to the town of Albany 853 times.

"Just to give you a perspective, everything came out of dispatch," Wagner said.

Budget committee chairman David Sordi asked Wagner if there was an estimated cost for each call.

"It could be on for 20 minutes or in some cases if there's a fatality a couple of hours," Wagner replied.

He also explained that police services are not charged because Conway is in a mutual aid agreement with law enforcement agencies throughout the county.

According to the United States Census Bureau, Hales Location has a total area of 2.4 square miles, all of it land. The population was 120 at the 2010 census.

State Rep. Karen Umberger, who also serves on the budget committee, said it was her understanding that Albany is now contracting with the sheriff's department to provide dispatch services for fire and ambulance. Wagner wasn't aware of such a move.

"Albany does have dispatch for police, but all the calls are still coming into us for fire and ambulance," he said.

"Are we going to start charging for (dispatch) services?" Sordi asked.

Sires said police service is related to a larger issue of police department dispatch service to local fire departments that serve other towns. He said the issue will be discussed next year with all of the participating agencies.

"If Albany is thinking that the Carroll County Sheriff's Department is going to solve their problems, I'd just point out it's a long way from one end of the county to the other," Dick Klement, the Conway School Board's representative to the budget committee, said, indicating there might be possible manpower shortages at any given time."

Wagner said Conway PD has been asked to respond as mutual aid to Albany by the Carroll County Sheriff's Department 53 times over the past five years.

Budget committee member Ray Shakir said the price tag for police dispatch to Hales Location seemed to be "relatively negligible" and should not be a point of concern. Fellow budgeteer Kelly DeFeo disagreed.

"I think there should be some sort of a cost for the luxury of knowing that you've got Conway as a backup," she said. "None of us have any thought of using the police department, but it's a benefit we pay for with our taxes."

"We have mutual aid from Berlin to Moultonborough," Wagner replied. "We're the only 24-hour service at parts of the day, that's when there's not a lot of mutual."

Sordi wondered about a worst-case scenario where there is a police incident in Hales Location where Conway is called to assist, but then another incident occurs within the town of Conway.

"Who gets priority?" he asked. "If we have to bring additional officers on, who pays for that? It seems like we're providing police on service all the time to Hales."

Sires reiterated that will be a conversation in the near future.

THE ENTREPRENOLOGIST

Top tips for success in 2012

BY MICHAEL KLINE

• Planning: Do the right things. Duh. Sounds so simple it’s almost stupid, but seriously, how do some people always know (or seem to know) what is the right thing to do? People who have better luck than others at knowing what to do aren’t just lucky. They go to industry trade shows, conventions or meetings and they read the trade journals and top-rated blogs for their industry to stay abreast of the latest trends and available tools. They keep accurate records at their own business, so they know what past efforts worked the best and repeat and improve upon them. They use industry standards as well as their own benchmarks to set goals and develop strategy to achieve those goals, with careMichael Kline ful monitoring along the way.

By the way, successful people don’t really always know what to do. They sometimes do the wrong things, fail without dwelling on it, and move on to the next thing. Mistakes are OK. • Cash flow. Make sure you can afford to do the right things. Success is almost as expensive as failure. Sometimes, success can lead to failure if it isn’t properly funded. Most people who have asked me for help in finding a loan didn’t need a loan at all. If you have cash flow, and you want to expand, then a loan might be for you. If you’re having trouble keeping up with the bills, you probably don’t need and can’t get a loan. If your business isn’t earning enough cash to pay the bills, how will it pay the bills plus the new debt? The loan only works if it is used to change something so that you will be able to pay the bills and the debt. Most small businesses carry far too much accounts receivable and they don’t need to. If you think you need to, call me and let’s talk about it – you probably really don’t need to! Here’s the simple truth: Nothing solves problems like cash. Nothing makes cash like sales. Plan your sales calls and the amount of cash that will produce. Plan carefully, though, because if you’re good really at growing, you’ll run out of cash.

Growth is expensive, but it’s much easier to fund.

• People: Have the right people doing the right things. Do you have the right people? Do they know what to do and how to do it? Are you the right person? I’ve often argued that it’s very difficult to find the right people. And, if you find them, they’ll leave you because they’re self-motivated to do their own thing. Or, they would stay but you can’t afford them. For these reasons, I believe in growing your own people. This is hard work, but with the right systems, ordinary people can produce extraordinary results. Even the largest of companies in the world rely on pure talent of individuals for too many decisions and too many processes that could be systematized. You need the best people you can get, but don’t expect too much from the incapable, and don’t try to hold down the capable just because you need them. Better to rely less on people and more on systems.

• Systems – so the right things can be repeated with predictability. People don’t run successful businesses, systems do. Excellent people run the systems to produce predictable results.

Best wishes to all my clients, students and readers for a kinder and more prosperous 2012.

New law: Warnings before fines for N.H. businesses cited for minor labor violations

BY ERIK EISELE THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — A new law that requires the state to warn rather than fine employers with minor labor department violations represents a relief for business owners, including several local employers who got caught under the old system.

“We ended up getting fined like $40,000 or $50,000,” said Bill Bennett, of Maestro’s restaurant

in North Conway, which underwent a labor department audit several years ago. “It took him a couple months,” Bennett said. “He found all kinds of violations, all kinds of silly things.”

Some of the restaurant’s paperwork was missing, and a child whose mother worked at the restaurant was too young to be helping out. They were also paying the wrong minimum wage to busboys. see LABOR LAW page 22

Christmas vacation week off to a good start for ski areas, businesses

BY TOM EASTMAN THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — “Skiers are here and they're appreciative of what we've got. We're pretty busy.”

That's how executive director Thom Perkins of the Jackson Ski Touring Center described this week's Christmas Week business so far at the world-renowned ski touring center, which was able to offer 23 kilometers of skiing Tuesday, despite the region having limited natural snowfall.

Most touring centers and alpine areas received 5 inches of snow Thursday night and Friday morning, prior to the Christmas holiday Sunday — a storm that many referred to as the “Christmas Miracle,” since it fell even though temperatures were warm.

Alpine areas were able to make snow before and after the storm heading into the holiday week, as was Great Glen Trails Outdoor Center, which stands alone among ski touring centers in its abil-

ity to make snow.

Great Glen Trails offered 1 kilometer of free skiing Tuesday, a day that touring centers such as the Jackson Ski Touring Foundation and Bear Notch Ski Touring in Bartlett said was busy, despite the limited amount of terrain.

“We're seeing a lot of people today. People are very understanding about the lack of natural snow, and we have not talked to a customer who was not appreciative of what we've been able to offer,” said Doug Garland of Bear Notch Tuesday, noting that the family-owned ski touring network located in Bartlett had 10 to 12 kilometers of skiing that day.

Similarly, Perkins at Jackson Ski Touring said, “We haven't heard any complaints. Everyone knows that there is very little natural snow in New England. They are keeping their sense of humor, and enjoying the skiing.” see VACATION WEEK page 19

THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Wednesday, December 28, 2011— Page 19

VACATION WEEK from page 18

Alpine areas reported that business picked up significantly on Tuesday after Sunday's holiday, with many skiers and boarders apparently using Monday as their travel day.

“They are definitely here today,” said Attitash and Wildcat marketing director Thomas Prindle Tuesday afternoon. “It's been a trend the past few years to have people spend the holiday at home, then they travel north, so things have really surged today.”

Attitash (374-2368) had 15 trails and six lifts open Tuesday, with top-to-bottom skiing on both Bear Peak and Atittash.

“Our goal is to get them connected, with snowmaking continuing as aggressively as we can,”said Prindle, who said Attitash was open Christmas Day, as were Bretton Woods and Cranmore.

Attitash's Nor-Easter mountain coaster is open daily this vacation week, as is Cranmore's mountain coaster.

Prindle said its sister Peak Resorts area, Wildcat Mountain, also has top-to-bottom skiing, with general manager Josh Boyd and his crew working Christmas Day to get the Upper Lynx and Cattrack trails open Monday off the summit.

Wildcat (466-3326) as of Tuesday had six trails and two lifts open.

Upcoming highlights at Attitash this vacation week include an EMS touring day Dec. 28 and a Ramp skis demo day Dec. 31. The first of the season's ATP series takes place Dec. 31, featuring a rail jam.

Kathy Bennett, marketing director at Cranmore Mountain Resort (356-5543), said North Conway's in-town resort is seeing the benefits kicking in of its $7 million investment under new ownership this vacation week.

“It’s been really encouraging,” said Bennett about Cranmore, which had a total of 18 trails and eight lifts open with topto-bottom skiing Tuesday. “We have been up each day 20 percent compared to last year, so even though Mother Nature has been a little stingy this year with natural snowfall, we are expecting our trail counts to increase as snowmaking will continue when temperatures permit.”

“It's been really encouraging,” said Bennett about Cranmore, which had a total of 18 trails and eight lifts open with top-to-bottom skiing Tuesday, compared to 24 at the start of vacation week last year, which was also was challenging concerning natural snowfall at the start of the vacation week. “We have been up each day 20 percent compared to last year, so even though Mother Nature has been a little stingy this year with natural snowfall, we are expecting our trail counts to increase as snowmaking will continue when temperatures permit,” said Bennett.

“I think people have heard about all the improvements we have made, as we are in the second year of our capital improvement campaign. Also, I think with the delayed start, there is a lot of pent-up demand. We hope it will be a trend for the rest of the winter,” said Bennett.

Cranmore president and general manager Ben Wilcox thanked skiers and riders for their business.

“I think it shows they are confident of our snow-

445 White Mtn Hwy Conway, NH

making capabilities,” said Wilcox.

In addition to its mountain coaster, Cranmore's tubing, giant swing and indoor adventure zone are both open through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Cranmore is presenting its first Cranapalooza of the season Dec. 28 with skiing and riding until 6 p.m., and fireworks on New Year's Eve at 6:30 p.m., prior to King Pine's at 9 p.m. and North Conway Village's at 9:30 p.m.

Speaking of King Pine (367-8896), the East Madison family-owned resort was experiencing strong business on Tuesday, according to marketing director Emily Eastman.

The resort had seven trails and four lifts Tuesday, with night skiing and tubing through Jan. 1.

“Things have really picked up today,” said Eastman, noting that the resort's tubing slope “was packed to the gills.”

Owned and operated by the Hoyt family for five generations, King Pine is celebrating its 50th anniversary season this winter, and the 100th anniversary of Purity Spring Resort.

The resort was featured on a live remote broadcast on local station WMWV 93.5-FM Tuesday afternoon.

Shawnee Peak (207-647-8444) in nearby Bridgton, Maine, had 17 trails and three lifts Tuesday, with night skiing until 9 p.m. nightly, and until 10 p.m.

Fridays and Saturdays. Shawnee is presenting its annul Ullr Fest Dec. 28, featuring fireworks and more beginning at 6 p.m.

Black Mountain (383-4490) opened for the season Tuesday, a day later than projected, with skiing on four trails and one lift.

VACATION WEEK from page 19

Bretton Woods (278-3320) had 25 trails and eight lifts as of Tuesday, with night skiing nightly through Dec. 31. Bretton Woods Ski Touring (278-3322) is open with 6 kilometers.

Dining and lodging Janice Crawford, executive director of the Mount Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce (356-5701), and Dick Delaney, director of the Valley Originals group of local independent restaurants and one of the owners of Delaney's Hole-in-the-Wall (356-7776), were upbeat about the week so far, despite the lack of natural snow.

“We've been busy — we were way up Monday over last year, which was also busy,” said Delaney Tuesday. “I have heard there are big vacancies at a lot of inns, but I am not sure about that, and hopefully people are filling up those rooms.”

Crawford said she did not have a report on lodging availability as of Tuesday morning.

“We have had many calls. I do not have a handle on whether there may have been cancellation for lodging,”

said Crawford Tuesday.

Messages left with the North Conway Grand Hotel and the Red Jacket Mountain View Tuesday were not returned as of press time.

As for dining, Crawford said she had gone to dinner with her daughter Christmas night at the Red Fox Pub and Grille in Jackson, and that it was very busy. “My daughter Jamie asked why it would be so busy Christmas night, and I told her that I think that people spend Christmas at home, then they head north and they were grabbing a bite to eat once they got here,” said Crawford.

She added the chamber had fielded many calls from visitors seeking to do activities such as ice skating and inquiring about the upcoming New Year's Eve weekend.

While the rink in North Conway's Schouler Park had yet to open as of Tuesday, Nestlenook Estate and Resort (383-7101) was open, offering outdoor skating at its Victorian Emerald Lake skating area, as well as sleigh rides daily from noon to 9 p.m.

Skating is also available daily see next page

indoors at the Ham Ice Arena (4475886) in Conway.

“It has not been a record-setter, but we have been busy, and I am sure that we will be OOC — out of control — Wednesday with the day's projected rain,” said Ham executive director Darrell Umlah Tuesday, a day that saw many cars backing up as the day progressed on North Conway's NorthSouth Road, always a good sign of gauging how busy things are in North Conway.

He said that public skating is offered daily this week noon to 3 p.m. and 6 to 8 p.m., except on New Year's Eve, when the arena will close at 3 p.m. Stick and puck sessions (helmets required) are also being offered 3:10 to 4:40 p.m. daily except on New Year's Eve. Susan Logan, marketing director at Conway Scenic Railroad (3565251), said the local tourist railroad was experiencing strong ridership on its Christmas week runs, which are offered daily this week at 11:30 a.m. to Bartlett and 1:30 pm. to Conway.

This is the second year that the Conway Scenic Railroad is offering rides Christmas week, she said.

“Ridership has been up daily from last year, which was the first year we tried it and found it was successful,” said Logan. “Monday was a travel day, but today it is definitely up. We are offering trains daily through New Year's Eve. We tried it, because not everyone skis, or not all day, and they are looking for things to do,” said Logan, who had Monday off.

Shopping What did she do with that day?

“I went shopping at Settlers' Green and JC Penney, and I can tell you that both were very, very busy Monday,” said Logan commenting on the day known to Canadians and Brits as Boxing Day — the day after Christmas, now said to be one of the busiest shopping days of the season in many regions as shoppers flock to take advantage of sales and to make returns.

Ezra Timberlake-Aldes, an employee at Zeb's General Store (3569294) in North Conway, said business “was steady Tuesday.”

Dot Seybold, general manager at Settlers' Green Outlet Village (3567031), said Monday at noon that business that day was quieter than expected, but that she expected visiting shoppers to begin arriving later that day and on Tuesday.

LABOR LAW from page 18

“Every day that bus person came in was a fine,” Bennett said.

There were no evidence anyone was being paid under the table, or of unsafe working conditions, or that the restaurant had hired illegal immigrants, but still the business faced tens of thousands of dollars in fines.

“Our hearts dropped,” Bennett said. “I just wanted to give him the keys to the restaurant.”

“These are honest mistakes,” he said. The restaurant wound up meeting with the department and got the fines down to several thousand dollars, but it was still a stressful situation for Bennett.

That same frustration raised the ire of Mark

Guerringue, publisher of the Conway Daily Sun. In 2008, two years after the paper was named Employer of the Year by the local chamber of commerce, the paper underwent a similar audit by the state. Over several days the labor inspector found 210 violations and levied a fine of $21,000.

“I basically compared him to the Gestapo,” Guerringue said.

One of the violations was in how the paper pays its employees.

“The Sun pays on a twice-a-month basis,” Guerringue said in a column that ran after the incident, “and has been doing so for 20 years without incident or question. Those infractions counted for 50 or so violations, one for every employee.”

“Another big chunk of violations resulted from us not having a form on file with the signatures of all employees acknowledging they know their rate of pay or salary,” he said in the column.

“Apparently it's not enough that our payroll service details every penny of pay in every paycheck.

Again, probably a good reason for that regulation, just not sure why.”

“It’s like a speeding ticket for going 2 mph over the speed limit,” he said.

The paper went to the same type of hearing as Maestro’s, where the $21,000 fine was reduced to $800.

That seemed arbitrary to Guerringue.

“It’s a one-sided negotiation,” he said. “It really is revenue enhancement, a scam.”

He wrote several columns railing against the system and how the whole experience felt like a shakedown. Good employers were being punished unnecessarily, he said. “That’s when Jeb Bradley picked up the cause.”

“The vast amount of business owners are not out to screw their employees,” Bradley, state senator and former U.S. Congressman, said. Businesses around the state were being found to have “very minor and technical paperwork violations,” he said, but regulators “were throwing the book at them.”

Bradley spoke to Guerringue, Bennett and others about their experiences, but at the time changes just weren’t in the cards.

“It was 2010,” Bradley said, and Democrats were in control. “We were in the minority and the the bill died.”

2011 was a different story, however: Bradley was one of more than a dozen sponsors of Senate Bill 86, which was signed by the governor and passed into law earlier this year. The bill’s title: An act requiring the Department of Labor to warn employers of certain violations prior to imposing a fine.

The law carves out exceptions for serious violations, like failing to pay an employee on time or hiring illegal immigrants, but otherwise employers will get a warning first, before any fines are levied.

That makes sense to Bradley.

“99.9 percent of employers want to sleep at night,” he said, not worry about fines for forgetting to file a sheet of paper. Now they can.

Lovell Town Column

Ethel Hurst ehurst3@yahoo.com

Benefit dinner for Robin Jensen at St. Elisabeth Ann Seton Church Jan. 14

It’s been five years since I’ve been home for Christmas and New Years.

This is my last column for 2011. Yep, you still have to put up with me.

Someone reminded me of how I used to send my column to The Conway Daily Sun and The Bridgton News when I first started writing for the papers. I did have a computer and printer then but no Internet. So, every week I’d type up my column, print it for the Conway Daily Sun the put it in an envelope and mail it to the paper.

For the Bridgton News I’d print it and put it in Eric Gulbrandsen’s mail box here in Lovell for him to deliver it to the paper. Then Al gore invented the internet, only kidding, and the papers went modem or modern. My computer couldn’t carry the Internet so thanks to Anna Romer she taught me how to do e-mail at the library. It was a slow process because I was so afraid I’d hit the wrong key and lose everything. I was paranoid and saved everything every few minutes so I felt safe. I owe Anna a lot, because of her patience I have evolved. Who said you couldn’t teach an old dog new tricks.

The year 0f 2011 hasn’t been kind to the Hurst family, with four members of the family having huge medical issues but thanks to modern medicine we’re all doing fine. The support Robin and I received was enormous proving that this is a great community to live in.

I have written many stories about benefit suppers but never thought I’d be doing one for one of my own. In September my daughter Robin Jensen, who lives in Fryeburg, was diagnosed with a rare type of cancer. Since then she hasn’t been able to work and her

A P R É S S K I E N TE R TA IN M E N T W ed.12/28 - A nni Clark Thurs.12/29 - Tim G urshin & E m ily H enry Fri.12/30 - Tim G urshin

finances are a problem. On Saturday, Jan. 14, there will be a benefit dinner at St. Elisabeth Ann Seton Church in Fryeburg starting at 5 to 7 p.m. to help Robin out during her recovery. More in my column next week.

The United Church of Christ welcomed Rev. Alison Jacobs as their pastor. I myself joined the church, couldn’t resist Pastor Alison Jacobs who has been a big help to me as a mother of children in crisis. If you’re a member of the church and haven’t been to church lately, come and meet this wonderful woman, who makes the sermon fun.

Lovell as usual has continued to be busy not only in the summer but the winter, too. The Charlotte Hobbs Memorial Library with its expanded space has programs growing all the time. The New Suncook School PTA keeps my column busy. The Center for Performing Arts has expanded the summer programs, something for everyone. The Lovell Historical Society is always busy coming up with wonderful fund raisers with the money to be used to continue to fill the archives with Lovell history.

Two major Lovell projects were completed, the renovations to the town hall and the landscaping at the tennis courts. The paving of Christian Hill was completed and is now a major highway in the town, well that how it feels like as the cars go speeding by.

The Kezar Lake Watershed Association continues to monitor the lake and during the summer has an army of volunteers who inspect boat going see LOVELL page 25

Nan White, 98, North Conway watercolor artist, died peacefully on December 26, 2011 at Mineral Springs Nursing Home in North Conway. Born in Sweden in 1913 on Nov. 23, Nan lived 98 years. Nan is survived by her brother Evald “Al” Albrektson, a watercolorist who resides in West Warwick, R.I. She is also survived by her niece Jan Albrektson Messier of Cranston R.I, her nephew and wife, David and Jeanne Albrektson of Jamestown R.I., and nephew Richard Svenson. Nan was blessed with many loyal and steadfast friends including: Cindy Spencer of Fryeburg Maine, Myrna Lloyd of Marblehead, Mass. and Kearsarge, Martha Pedersen of North Conway, Jean Hurley of Wonalancet, and Holly Huhn of North Conway. and many, many more. Nan’s god daughter, Kirsten Murphy, and her family of Providence, R.I. were amongst Nan’s frequent visitors. Nan is predeceased by her husband William White, her sister-in-law Evelyn Albrektson, her younger sisters Dagny Albrektson Svenson and Alice Albrektson McCarroll, nephew Robert McCarroll as well as Elinor Larson Murphy, special family friend.

When Nan was 9 years old she and her family immigrated to the United States and settled in Rhode Island. She entered second grade knowing no English, but eager to learn and make friends. Family obligations required Nan to enter the work force before completing her education. In later years she was proud to become a U.S. citizen and to achieve her GED. Nan fell head over heels in love with William White. After their marriage in 1937, they relocated in North Conway. For one dollar, they purchased land on Grove Street in 1945 from Harvey Dow Gibson and later built their modest home. Nan and Bill were the owners of the Old Colony Restaurant – now approximately where Horsefeathers stands.

In her 40s, Nan began to paint with watercolors and to learn about art. She took lessons from Lewis Hodgkins, also of North Conway. Nan believed that she saw everything in a new and different light — from a painter’s view. A voracious reader, Nan sought every art book she could find and attended many workshops. She developed her own lending library of art books and referred to them often. She and fellow artist and friend, Dottie DeMark, founded the Mount Washington Valley’s Friday Painters’ Group which continues today. Her legacy is her art; her favored subjects included reflections, mountains, skiers, and white houses.

Nan White

Nan worked at Carroll Reed for many years creating window displays. She painted landscape scenes to coordinate with her creative displays and exhibited other landscapes throughout the store. She appreciated the sense of community that Carroll and Kay Reed promoted with employees. Many of her Carroll Reed friends continued to visit Nan and to support her in her final years.

Over the years, Nan’s art won many local awards and prizes. In 1962 she participated in a North Conway Art Outdoor Exhibit held on the lawn of the Eastern Slope Inn. That annual exhibit became North Conway’s “Art in the Park.” She loved sharing her art and was delighted to be Mount Washington Valley Arts Association Artist of the Month in January of 2010. This summer she won first prize at Mount Washington Valley Arts Association Art in the Park. Some of her work will be exhibited at the Freedom Library during January and February of 2012. To see more unframed pieces of Nan’s work, contact Cindy Spencer (207) 935-4079. All proceeds of her work will be donated to the Mount Washington Valley Art Association.

Nan served on the North Conway Library board and in the Mount Washington Valley Arts Association board. She also enjoyed Tai Chi. She always seemed to be lending a helping hand to others with no expectations in return. When her husband Bill Our

24th Year!

became ill, she focused her efforts on taking care of him in their home. After Bill died in 1982, she returned to her painting and her job at Carroll Reed with new vigor.

In her mid-90s, Nan fought a valiant battle to stay in her Grove Street home. With her family so far away, Nan, a once fiercely independent woman, found herself in need of assistance. Her North Conway community rallied to support her wishes.

Her neighbors ran errands, shoveled, mowed, delivered food packages, checked on her regularly; the librarian delivered books and desserts on her regular visits; friends transported her to the grocery store, local bankers helped when she couldn’t see the numbers; her art friends stopped in to share their work and to encourage Nan to paint; her church made sure her spiritual needs were met on a weekly basis; her hairdresser and attorney came to Nan’s home; Meals on Wheels delivered food and caring; her dentist offered to transport her to his office. Nan benefited from a particularly helpful ER doctor, from a carpenter who built a railing, from services provided by plumbers and electricians, and from local police calling to check in, and more. At 96, Nan decided to stop flirting with the ambulance drivers and to bring an end to her reliance on neighbors, community and friends for assistance. She moved to Mineral Springs where she received loving care and many visitors. After relocating to the nursing home, Nan loved to drive by places she used to paint and to ride through the village of North Conway which she always felt was her beloved “home.”

Those who love Nan like to think of her with her hallmark positive attitude embracing her next adventure. She is free of all physical limitations and is exploring new territory with wondrous new landscapes to paint. Her husband, Bill, is singing in her ear a favorite song, “I met my thrill on Blueberry Hill. Come, climb the hill with me, baby...” She is eager to join him, but she takes a moment to look over her shoulder. With her renowned graciousness, she offers a sincere thank you in Swedish to the people of North Conway, to the caring staff at Mineral Springs, and to her beloved neighbors and friends.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated Thursday, Dec. 29, 2011, at 11 a.m. in Our Lady of the Mountains Church in North Conway. Burial will be in Our Lady of the Mountains Cemetery later in the spring. There will be no visiting hours. In Nan’s honor, donations may be made to Our Lady of the Mountains Catholic Church, the North Conway Public Library, or the Mount Washington Valley Arts Association.

The Furber and White Funeral Home in North Conway is in charge of arrangements.

Children’s pageant was cute as always Hooray for the snow! Just in time for Christmas.

Now it really does look like winter and I hope all you skiers out there have a wonderful week. Enjoy all the other winter activities like cross-country skiing, snowboarding, skating, building snowmen or doing snow angels.

The Little White Church was completely filled for the 65th Christmas Eve service. Once again Rev. Mary Edes serenaded us with her beautiful voice accompanied by Ellen Schwindt on the piano. We all sang many favorite Christmas carols together, filling our lovely church with joy and love. The children’s pageant was as cute as always, with many children participating. Ashleigh Nash was the Reader and her brother Danny was “the innkeeper” at each of the three inns in town: Snowville Inn, Rockhouse Mountain Farm and the Inn at Crystal Lake. (Danny really had to stoop down to fit behind each inn facade.) Mary’s message, always poignant and lovely, spoke of the combination of chaos and beauty in our world and in our hearts.

Many thanks to Heidi and Thomas Costello for organizing the pageant.

Do stop by to see the Vanasses’ new home on Glines Hill Road this weekend to say hi and get a quick tour. We are all very happy for you, Polly and LOVELL from page 23

I have told you about my favorite Christmas trees resting on the shores of our lake and ponds, but I would like to say how much I love the colorful tree with the huge red star at Tom and Ellie Irvings’ driveway, Peggy Wescott’s pretty tree on her porch at the four corners, and Patricia McMurray’s white tree on Route 153. John and Jeanne Hartman’s house looks delightful and the lights and windows at the Eaton Village Store help light up our village.

Great decorations, everyone!

I hope you have gone to The Snowville Inn for Pub night on Mondays; the menu is spectacular and the scenery breathtaking. Hit the Palmer House Pub for some of your great Mexican favorites every Wednesday. How lucky are we to have Eaton Village Store and these wonderful inns to go to for delicious food and great atmosphere.

The new year is right around the corner, so let me wish you all a safe New Year’s Eve, a bright 2012, and may your favorite dreams come true.

DILBERT

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Studies prove that regular exercise bolsters your reserves of self-control. Even goals that are not fitness related will be more easily accomplished because of today’s higher activity level.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

There’s a problem that keeps you from having what you dearly want. Truly, no one is to blame for this. You’ll make headway once you decide that you’re the one who will change the dynamic.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Things of value will come easily to you.

And if you recognize the value and cherish these things, you’ll be among the few who do. Most people don’t see the value of something until they are deprived of it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). No time to stop and assess where you are. Keep going until you get a sense of pride and accomplishment. For you, this will come only at the very end of a project.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You will be the astute one in your group, and they really need you to point out the little signs of improvement you see.

You’ll note the incremental progress and inspire the others to continue forward.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 28).

You promote harmony and cooperation wherever you go. People work together under your guidance. The actions you take in January have unusual and unexpected results, making it a memorable time. February brings freedom, and you’ll adventure on through the spring.

May features a meaningful commitment. Libra and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 21, 24, 30 and 14.

Get Fuzzy

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll finally have the chance to pursue an interest you’ve wanted to know more about for a long time now. You’ll enjoy getting lost in a wealth of new information and experience.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll free your mind from material concerns and embrace a higher mindset. You’ll find this easy to do, especially when you’re in a relaxed environment surrounded by beauty.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You can like and respect yourself even when you wish you would have acted differently or projected a different side of yourself. Your compassionate attitude will help you grow into the person you want to be.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You feel a sense of community around you.

Because you are so multifaceted, you can connect with people on many different subjects. You’ll have a knack for saying the thing that breaks the conversation wide open.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your creative energy will burn bright. Remember that this is not just about being able to paint or write a story. Creativity is what helps you solve a problem or make a relationship strong and special.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It’s not OK to quit when the going gets tough.

On the other hand, it’s silly to fight the currents of life by swimming upstream.

Only you know when it’s right to change direction.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The way you see a situation may be causing you stress. Ask a trusted friend to give you another perspective on the matter.

You’ll open your mind to a liberating viewpoint.

Today is Wednesday, Dec. 28, the 362nd day of 2011. There are three days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Dec. 28, 1846, Iowa became the 29th state to be admitted to the Union.

On this date: In 1694, Queen Mary II of England died after more than five years of joint rule with her husband, King William III. In 1832, John C. Calhoun became the first vice president of the United States to resign, stepping down because of differences with President Andrew Jackson.

In 1856, the 28th president of the United States, Thomas Woodrow Wilson, was born in Staunton (STAN’-tun), Va. In 1908, a major earthquake followed by a tsunami devastated the Italian city of Messina, killing at least 70,000 people.

In 1917, the New York Evening Mail published “A Neglected Anniversary,” a facetious, as well as fictitious, essay by H.L. Mencken recounting the history of bathtubs in America.

In 1945, Congress officially recognized the Pledge of Allegiance.

In 1961, the Tennessee Williams play “Night of the Iguana” opened on Broadway.

Former first lady Edith Bolling Galt Wilson, the second wife of President Woodrow Wilson, died in Washington at age 89.

In 1971, film composer Max Steiner (“Gone with the Wind,” among many others) died in Hollywood at age 83.

In 1981, Elizabeth Jordan Carr, the first American “test-tube” baby, was born in Norfolk, Va. In 1991, nine people died in a crush to get into a rap celebrity basketball game at City College in New York.

One year ago: Eight young people were killed in a fire that swept through an abandoned New Orleans warehouse (some of the victims were squatters who had been living inside the building). Agathe von Trapp, the real-life inspiration for eldest daughter Liesl in the musical “The Sound of Music,” died in Towson, Md., at age 97.

Today’s Birthdays: Comic book creator Stan Lee is 89. Actor Martin Milner is 80.

Actress Nichelle Nichols is 79. Actress Dame Maggie Smith is 77. Rock singer-musician Charles Neville is 73. Rock singer-musician Edgar Winter is 65. Actor Denzel Washington is 57. Country singer Joe Diffie is 53. Country musician Mike McGuire (Shenandoah) is 53. Actor Chad McQueen is 51. Country singer-musician Marty Roe (Diamond Rio) is 51. Actor Malcolm Gets is 47. Actor Mauricio Mendoza is 42. Comedian Seth Meyers is 38. Actor Brendan Hines is 35. Rhythmand-blues singer John Legend is 33. Actress Sienna Miller is 30. Actor Thomas Dekker is 24.

Help Wanted

by Abigail Van Buren

MAN WITH ROVING EYE ONLINE NEEDS MEDS TO STAY GROUNDED

DEAR ABBY: My marriage has been on the rocks since 2008, when I caught my husband talking to other girls online.

He swore he would never do it again and I trusted him, only for it to happen again and again. We have a 2-year-old and I’m pregnant with our second child.

He has now placed another ad online stating that he’s a single dad. I am torn. He keeps telling me he loves me and wants only me, and he doesn’t know what’s wrong with him.

He is bipolar and not taking meds for it. He promised this time he will get help and try to get better.

This is the fifth time he has placed an ad or chatted with other girls online. I don’t know if I should call it quits or keep trying. I love him and want us to be a family, but I don’t know how much more I can take. -- TORN IN CALIFORNIA DEAR TORN: Because you still love your husband, make his taking his medication a condition of your continuing the marriage. He needs to be willing to prove to you that he wants you to stay. If he won’t do that, then you will have to decide if this is the way you want to spend the rest of your life. And please, for your sake and that of your kids, don’t have more children with him until you’re sure your marriage is on solid ground.

DEAR ABBY: I’m an independent, never-married woman who has been holding out for the right man. I finally found him in “Wayne,” a 49-year-old widower with two adult daughters.

Wayne and I have been together for a year -- living together for six months -- but his daughters still refuse to meet me. Wayne says they need time because they lost their mother

only two years ago and aren’t ready to accept anyone else in his life. The rest of his family has been welcoming and sweet.

I’m invited to some family functions, but allowed to attend only those that Wayne’s daughters won’t be at.

I feel like I am able to share only part of his life and nothing will move forward until his children accept me. I love Wayne. I have searched my whole life for someone like him.

How long is long enough to wait? What if they never do? -ON THE SIDELINES DEAR ON THE SIDELINES: You have assessed your situation correctly. You ARE sharing only part of Wayne’s life, and won’t be moving forward until his adult daughters accept you OR Wayne asserts himself. Wayne should be ashamed of himself. He should have introduced you to his daughters when you started living together. As his partner, you should not have been excluded from any family functions. As long as Wayne does nothing, nothing will change.

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have worked hard and spent our money carefully. We are almost ready to pay off our home. I would love to have a “mortgage-burning” party, but I’m worried about showing off in this uncertain economy.

Can we have this party, or should we just make our last payment and be quiet? -- THRILLED IN SAN JOSE DEAR THRILLED: Taking into consideration that many people have not been as fortunate as you in spite of the fact that they too worked hard, lived frugally and followed all the rules, my advice is to have a quiet celebration with your husband and forgo the party.

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

In a ceremony that caught Melissa Frase (center) totally off-guard Thursday, the recent KHS standout who is attending New Hampton this winter before heading to Umass-Lowell next year, was honored for reaching the historic 1,000 point milestone last March in the playoffs.

Frase is the only player to reach 1,000 on a three-pointer. She was presented with a bouquet of flowers and a two framed photographs from her memorable evening by former teammates Allie Wagner (left) and Sam Meader (right).

FRYEBURG — After losing its first four games, the Fryeburg Academy girls notched a 44-43 win on Tuesday at home against Poland. On Dec.17, the Raiders lost 39-29 to Greely on the road.

Maggie McConkey toed the foul line with seven seconds left and the game tied 43-43 against Poland.

After hitting one foul shot, McConkey made a steal near half court to seal the win for the Raiders. The foul shot and steal topped off a strong performance

by McConkey who led all scorers with 16 points.

The Raiders took an 11-10 lead in the first period and then built their lead to 24-17 at the half. After stretching their lead to seven points, however, the Raiders were outscored by 10 points in the third period. The fourth frame saw Fryeburg get back the momentum and seal the deal late.

Also scoring for the Raiders were Sydney Charles, 6; Emily Wilson, 6; Kendra Fox, 5; Maddy Smith, 4; Skye Dole, 3; and Brenna Gerchman, 1.

On Saturday, Greely jumped out to a 28-17 halftime lead over the Raiders who never challenged, though they played the Rangers (3-1) evenly in the second half. McConkey led the Raiders with 12 points. Dole added 7; Sarah Welch, 6; and Charles and Fox, two apiece.

The Raiders fell 32-28 at home on Dec. 22 to Yarmouth in game that had the hosts down 15-5 at the half. Fryeburg outscored Yarmouth 23-17 in the second half, but couldn’t overcome the early deficit.

Dole led the Raiders with 10 points while Wilson added seven; McConkey, four; Smith, three; and Welch and Fox, two each.

Fryeburg returns to the Western Maine Class B hardwood Jan. 3 when it hosts Wells (4-2).
