CONWAY — Punxsutawney Phil didn't see his shadow down in Pennsylvania Wednesday, but it was anything but springlike along the Eastern Seaboard,

including in Mount Washington Valley, which received up to 16 inches of fresh snow in the storm dubbed as the Groundhog Day Blizzard.

The heaviest snowfall fell from afternoon through midnight. Sleet and freezing rain was predicted in southern Carroll

County at the tail end of the storm, which was part of a system that affected twothirds of the country stretching from New Mexico northeastward to Maine.

Hospital camera shy during births

Today High: 20 Record: 50 (1981) Sunrise: 7 a.m.

CASCADE, Md. (NY Times) — When Laurie Shifler was expecting her eighth child, she was so upset about a local hospital’s new policy restricting photographs of births that she started an online petition. Hundreds of people, near and far, signed it, many expressing outrage that a hospital would prevent parents from recording such a momentous occasion, one that could never be recaptured.

The hospital, Meritus Medical Center, in nearby Hagerstown, bars all pictures and videos during birth — cellphones and cameras must be turned off — and allows picture-taking to begin only after the medical team has given permission.

“It’s about our rights,” Ms. Shifler, 36, Her husband, Michael, 37, a police officer, was able to take pictures 30 seconds after Kaelii’s birth last month, but Ms. Shifler is still fighting the hospital to change its policy.

“It’s my child,” she said.

“Who can tell me I can take a picture or not take a picture of my own flesh and blood?”

For the hospital, the issue is not about “rights” but about the health and safety of the baby and mother and about protecting the privacy of the medical staff, many of whom have no desire to become instant celebrities on Facebook or YouTube.

Egyptian government strikes back at opponents CAIRO (NY Times) — The Egyptian government struck back at its opponents on Wednesday, unleashing waves of pro-government provocateurs armed with clubs, stones, rocks and knives in and around Tahrir Square in a concerted effort to rout the protesters who have called for an end to President Hosni Mubarak’s near-30-year rule.

After fi rst trying to respond peacefully, the protesters fought back with rocks and Molotov cocktails as battles broke out

around the square. A makeshift medical clinic staffed by dozens of doctors tended to a steady stream of antigovernment protesters, many bleeding from head wounds.

As the two sides exchanged volleys, the military restricted itself mostly to guarding the Egyptian Museum and using water cannons to extinguish fl ames stoked by the fi rebombs. And on Wednesday night, state media broadcast an order from the government for all protesters to leave the square. Signs that

the pro-Mubarak forces were organized and possibly professional were abundant. When the melee broke out, a group of them tried to corner a couple of journalists in an alley to halt their reporting. Their assaults on the protesters seemed to come in well-timed waves.

Some protesters reported that they had been approached with offers of 50 Egyptian pounds, about $8.50, to carry pro-Mubarak placards. “Fifty pounds for my country?” one woman said, in apparent disbelief.

Yemen’s leader says he EPA plans new limits on toxic will step down in 2013 chemicals in drinking water SANA, Yemen (NY Times) — In another reverberation of the popular anger rocking the region, the longtime president of Yemen, Ali Abdullah Saleh, announced a series of concessions on Wednesday that included suspending his campaign for constitutional changes that would allow him to remain president for life and pledging that his son would not seek to be his successor.

“No extension, no inheritance, no resetting the clock,” Mr. Saleh said Wednesday during a legislative session that was boycotted by the opposition. “I present these concessions in the interests of the country.

He ordered the creation of a fund to employ university graduates and to extend social security coverage, increased wages and lowered income taxes and offered to resume a political dialogue that collapsed last October over elections.

SAYWHAT...

“

A man is great by deeds, not by birth.”

—Chanakya

WASHINGTON (NY Times) — The Obama administration said Wednesday that it would impose limits on permissible levels of a new set of toxic chemicals in drinking water, including the fi rst standards for perchlorate, a dangerous compound found in rocket fuel and fireworks that has contaminated water supplies in 26 states.

The move, announced by the Environmental Protection Agency, is a major step toward updating the nation’s clean water laws, which have lagged far behind environmental and health science.

Numerous studies have found that hundreds of industrial and agricultural chemicals, including several known carcinogens, are present in municipal water systems around the country. The nation’s laws and enforcement programs have not kept pace with spreading contamination, posing signifi cant health risks to millions. W ednesday’s decision to regulate perchlorate reversed a 2008 finding by the Bush administration that a nationwide standard for the chemical was unnecessary and would do little to reduce risks to human health.

Ward Bird granted early release from jail CONCORD — A man convicted of criminal threatening after he was accused of waving a gun at a woman on his property will be freed from jail.

The Executive Council voted unanimously to commute Ward Bird’s three- to six-year sentence, but he wasn’t given the pardon he asked for.

The council made its decision Wednesday after some discussion following Bird’s testimony Tuesday.

“I watched Mr. Bird yesterday, and he seems to be a very quiet, mild-mannered man,” said Councilor Ray Wieczorek. “It would be hard for me to imagine that a man with his demeanor was going to be one that was going to get wild.”

Councilor David Wheeler questioned whether Bird really committed the crime he’s in jail for.

He was accused of not only pointing a gun at Christine Harris, a woman who went past “no trespassing” signs on his property, but also jumping off his porch and chasing her -- all after having extensive surgery.

“And Christine Harris says he did that, he jumped off the porch and chased her down the driveway,” Wheeler said. “To me, that cannot be true, and if that is not true, then there’s a probability that he didn’t point a gun at her either, based on her past false accusations.”

But a jury convicted Bird of

criminal threatening, a fact that made one councilor question granting a full pardon.

“When you review the background of both individuals -- there are no angels in this case -- I am fearful that we set a precedent of substituting our judgment for the entire judicial process,” said Councilor Dan St. Hilaire.

Gov. John Lynch agreed.

“I can’t support a full and complete pardon, but I could support something short of that that would allow Ward Bird to return home as quickly as possible,” Lynch said.

The governor vetoed a vote for a full pardon. The decision to commute Bird’s sentence was unanimous. He will be released, but he will still have a felony record, something unsatisfying to his supporters.

“I’m disappointed that the governor took what I consider to be the easy way out,” said supporter Becky Bryant. “It’s tough to stand up when something was done wrong and admit we have done wrong and that it’s time to reverse it. I expected more of our governor.”

The attorney general said that because the felony will stay on Bird’s record, all of the legal consequences of having that conviction will remain, and he will not be able to own guns.

Elsa A. Knight

Elsa A. Knight, 76, died at her home in Conway on Monday, Jan. 24, 2011. She was born to George and Sarah (Lawrence) Stoehr in Lewiston, Maine, on April 22, 1934.

She was educated in Oxford, Maine, graduated from Portland High School and Gorham Teachers College, Class of 1956. She married Erlon H. Knight on Aug. 1, 1956. She taught third grade for two years in Connecticut and two years in Florida while her husband served in the Navy submarine corp.

Once settled in Long Island, N.Y. they decided to start their family and she stayed home to raise their three children: Roy Knight and Barbara White, of Conway, and Emily Nouvertne, of Berry, Ky. While raising her children she made beautiful things for them to wear and to decorate her home. She welcomed

all of her children’s friends into her home serving up her warm homemade bread, hot dogs or clearing off the kitchen table for them to do their homework.

She is survived by her husband, children and their partners Sharon Keith, Brad White and Ernie Nouvertne; four grandchildren and three older sisters.

She was very proud of her grandchildren, Megan and Sarah Nouvertne and Lauren and Ian White.

She would spend hours with each of them playing in the pool, pretending to drive the car, making brownies and catching frogs. Wally, her Boston Terrier, is lost without her. She was predeceased by two sisters, a brother and her granddaughter Jesse.

There will be no calling hours. Burial and memorial service will be later in the spring at the convenience of the family.

How can board not realize value of courses?

To the editor: I fi nd myself wondering if people who complain about vocational education at Kennett have bothered to take time to see what courses are offered by the Mount Washington Valley Career and Technical Center.

It is bad enough when Bill Marvel continually slams vocational education out of ignorance, but how can local school board members not realize the value of these courses.

I just looked at the vocational courses offered at Kennett. I saw no mention of learning how to run a cash register or learning how to babysit. I did see accounting and business law classes with an option of earning college credits while still in high school. I also read about introduction to computer drawing, architecture drawing and design, technical drawing and design, and engineering technology which uses geometry, trigonometry, and physical science theories to solve problems.

I know some Kennett graduates who have gone on to become architects.

The culinary arts program allows students to explore becoming a chef and running a restaurant. Early childhood classes allow

students to not only learn about child development but also to explore becoming an educator. Early Childhood III also has the option for students to earn college credit while still in high school.

The graphic arts program covers photography, television production, video production and all the upto-date computer software being used in the real world of work. The health science courses look at careers in the medical fi eld and offer internships and certifi cation in CPR/First Aid. Students can also learn how to run a store choosing products to sell, marketing, and all the many other things that necessary to run a business. Another class allows students to design and market their own clothing line. Students can also learn the building trades and landscaping which are two careers available here in the Mount Washington Valley.

I hope school board members and others will take a little time to explore the offerings of the Mount Washington Valley Career and Technology Center before they change any graduation requirements at Kennett.

Loss of insurance regulation will hurt granite staters To the editor: The New Hampshire Insurance Department was established in 1851, the fi rst insurance regulatory agency in the United States. For 160 years, it has protected consumers by ensuring a safe and competitive insurance marketplace. When you purchase an insurance policy in the Granite State, you are assured that the insurance department has licensed the carrier and the policy meets all state regulations.

HB 241 seeks to do away with those protections. It permits insurance carriers to sell health insurance “which is not subject to regulation by the insurance commissioner, insurance mandates, or administrative consumer protection law.”

Before the passage of health care reform, we heard story after story of insurance company tactics denying coverage to sick or older patients — and that was with a system of regulations in place. And now we’re going to allow insurance companies to sell health insurance with absolutely no regulations whatsoever? Who thought that was a good idea?

HB 241 will have its public hearing in the Commerce Committee on Thursday, Feb. 3, at 2:15 p.m. in Room 302, Legislative Office Building.

Here is contact info for our local del-

egations. Please be respectful and let them know your feelings about this bill and how it will effect our communities.

Pledge to complete strategic plan to acquire housing To the editor: Mother Seton House Inc. in Fryeburg has just competed for a grant in the nation-wide Pepsi Refresh Project, placing 70 among more than 300 applicants in the $250,000 category. It was a hopeful effort aimed at funding an urgently needed transitional residence. Instead our result in the polls made us realize that our goal to help pregnant women, new mothers and infants in need is important to a broader base than even we had imagined. We received more votes than some national organizations in our category.

As trustee and publicity chairperson, I extend the heartfelt thanks of the board along with those of Executive Director Cyndi Broyer, to local media including the Bridgton News, The Conway Daily Sun, Valley Promotions and WMWV and to the voters in the extended community of Mount Washington Valley. Each daily vote, faithfully repeated, and multiplied through social networking by family, friends, co-workers, fellow students, members of churches, schools, fra-

ternal organizations, alumni associations and others not mentioned is appreciated and will be honored by our future actions.

While we continue the ongoing work of support to our clients, we pledge to complete the strategic plan to acquire necessary housing. In addition to providing shelter, this will allow us to better teach parenting skills, increase knowledge of self-care and wellness, develop job skills, support educational goals and foster relationship skills.

Several years ago, a local pastor told his parishioners that miracles occur through the actions that we undertake to serve one another. Will you please join us in making miracles?

To volunteer please e-mail us at info@ mothersetonhouse.com. Donations in any amount are gratefully accepted by mail to Mother Seton House, Inc; P.O. Box 673; Fryeburg, ME 04037, by direct deposit to any Norway Saving Bank, or on our website www.mothersetonhouse. com through Paypal.

Why is the number blacked out on Obama certificate?

To the editor: I find it rather humorous that on the same day Diane Gurien is critiquing Michelle Bachmann's Photoshopping of history that there is also a letter defending the Internet copy of Barach Obama's birth certifi cate. I really do not know whether the concern of Mr. Obama was born in Honolulu is valid or not. But, anytime that I have had a copy of my, or my children's, birth certificates, there has always been an embossed seal for the issuing entity.

I think that it is the town clerk in Conway that signed the ones I needed to get my kids' passports. I do not have one here in Mexico with me but I think that I remember that there was supporting information as to the hospital's name. I would think that there might be more than one hospital

in Honolulu even then and the physician, etc. I have never had any qualms about supplying my certifi ed copy for my passport or a government agency requesting it. Mr. Obama's friend, the new governor of Hawaii, has asked that a copy be released. Why is the certificate number blacked out?

If the content is actually edited, Photoshopped, it may be the concern that his father was still married to his wife in Kenya when Barack was born! That would not have been Barack's fault and would not eliminate his U.S. citizenship.

You can not hold a child responsible for the faults of his parents!

Diane, your timing for your Photoshop analogy was, in the words of MasterCard, priceless!

Maureen Spencer said she and her husband Henry were after some information about a nonpublic meeting the commissioners had with sheriff Chris Conley. The Effi ngham couple, who regularly attend commission meetings, realized that the commission failed to seal the minutes within the 72 hour time frame and then did so later. Spencer says she also wants the commission to follow the letter of the law.

“They are getting sloppy,” said Spencer adding a previous commission lost a right to know lawsuit in court.

Henry Spencer suggested the commission set up a check list of procedures for going into nonpublic session

the worst in decades, the storm closed down airports. By early afternoon, the storm had dropped 20.2 inches of snow in Chicago, the third largest snowfall ever recorded in the Windy City.

Locally, schools in SAU 9 and 13 as well as MSAD 72 in Fryeburg, Maine, were closed as a result of the storm, which hit the region all day Wednesday following an initial storm on Tuesday.

After clearing Thursday and Friday, the National Weather Service of Gray, Maine, is predicting additional snow on Saturday.

Several businesses heeded the warnings about the storm and closed early, including a few local banks.

Local libraries closed, as did the Mount Washington Valley Economic Council.

The Conway Municipal Budget Committee meeting originally slated for Wednesday was rescheduled for 6:30 p.m. Thursday at Conway Town Hall to review the Kennett High, middle school and special education budgets.

Ski areas, touring centers and snowmobilers rejoiced at the snowfall

so that Right to Know Law mistakes don’t get made. He acknowledged that the commission has been one of the best governmental agencies at following the law when it comes to minutes.

The commission releases redacted copies of nonpublic minutes on a periodic basis.

“I hate to see that fall apart,” said Henry Spencer. “To sit back there and write it off as ‘something (former commissioner) Chip (Albee) used to do’ is frightening. It’s not something to smile about,” he said to commissioner Dorothy Solomon. It’s scary.”

Following the law is important, he said, because it keeps the public and the commission aware of what’s going on.

Solomon took responsibility for the error.

— but it did have some unforeseen impacts.

In only the second time in its 39-year history, Cranmore Mountain Meisters was canceled — although the mountain was very much still open for powder-seeking snowsports lovers.

Meisters coordinator Danbo Doucet said the decision to cancel Week 5 of the 10-week citizens' racing series was made due to safety concerns by race officials in consultation with Cranmore general manager Ben Wilcox early Wednesday morning.

Doucet immediately put the word out via e-mails, Web postings and a call to local radio station WMWV 93.5-FM. “The basis for the decision was safety concerns both on and off the snow. The course setters determined that the rate of snow was sure to cause banking on the course therefore increasing safety concerns for those skiers not familiar with racing on very snowy tracks. Better safe than sorry was the motto of the day and we hope that those racers who did show up had a great day skiing and were not too upset,” said Doucet. see next page

He said that Meisters racers will have an opportunity to race both courses and will be scored on each race, so two runs for one day will be featured compared to the usual one run. He also said that next week, Feb. 9, will be the date of the mid-season party for Mountain Meisters, said to be the largest citizens' weekly racing program in the country.

While non-racing skiers and boarders lived it up on the ski slopes of local areas, things were relatively quiet on local roadways, according to a dispatcher for State Police Troop E of Tamworth.

“I think with school being closed and many businesses not opening, people stayed home. We have no accidents to report,” said a State Police dispatcher at 3 p.m. Wednesday, as the heavy snow continued.

Conway Police Department reported a rollover at 3 p.m. Tuesday during that day's snow. The rollover occurred on Route 16 near A.J.'s Glass and closed the road for approximately 20 minutes.

The 27-year-old driver of the 1995 Jeep Cherokee, Timothy K. Grant of Eastside Road in Conway, fl ipped the vehicle after hitting a guide wire attached to a pole. He was taken to Memorial Hospital, where a blood test was administered. He was then taken to the police station and charged with driving under the influence.

A second accident occurred near A.J.'s Glass during Wednesday's snow.

According to Conway Fire Department, a motorist drove into the back of an oil truck. The driver of the car and a young passenger were injured, and Route 16 was closed for 20 minutes.

After a slow start to the snow season in November and December, Tuesday and Wednesday's accumulations as of 1 p.m. Feb. 2 had brought the snow season total to 44.6 inches, slightly above the 35-year average of 41.4 inches.

Local National Weather Service cooperative observer Ed Bergeron of North Conway said the average snowfall total for February is 14.1 inches.

As of 1 p.m. Wednesday, Bergeron had measured 10.3 inches for the first two days of the month, with the snow still coming down hard — and with more snow predicted for Saturday and 26 days left to go.

Bergeron provides the day's rating for WMWV-FM's “Morning Weather Show,” a local custom originally started by late legendary Appalachian Mountain Club huts manager Joe Dodge and carried on for years by Briggs Bunker.

Under the day's rating system originally established by Dodge, the top rating for a day is 50 cents. Listeners are encouraged to put aside that day's rating amount into a bank account in keeping with tradition.

Bergeron, an avid skier and snowmobiler as well as Mountain Meister racer, only gave a rating of 20 cents for Wednesday's snow, explaining he took 30 cents off out of road safety concerns even though most snowsports lovers would have gone for the limit of 50 cents.

As for Thursday's possible rating — when skies were expected to clear after the storm — Bergeron said everyone would just have to “tune in.”

Knowing how much he loves to ski, half a buck sounds like a good guess.

And where is Bunker, the usual day rater, during all this snow? In Florida.

CONWAY — The Mount Washington Valley Coalition for Education Excellence holds its next meeting on Thursday at 7 p.m. in the cafeteria at John Fuller Elementary School in North Conway.

The meeting is open to the public.

The fi rst meeting, last month, attracted over 40 people to the Tech Village. There were representatives from the business community, the chamber of commerce, school boards from around the area, educators and even a student.

The coalition is the brainchild of Dr. Angus Badger, formerly of the Jackson School Board, and Paul Mayer, owner of Black Bear Realty. They identifi ed the mission of the coalition as "to promote educational excellence in the Mount Washington Valley such that all students' educational needs are fulfilled and they have access to the most competitive post-secondary school opportunities." It is also to "promote a reputation for educational excellence as a critical element of our community's economic viability, specifi cally as it impacts business development and retention, sustained property values, and social diversity."

They view the coalition as "a valleywide forum to discuss and promote public education," and said, "the coalition’s mission has resonated among parents, educators, and business leaders in the valley. The group seeks to improve our student outcomes by (1) developing smart, system-wide goals and accountability, (2) promoting the connection between great schools and a strong local economy, and (3) making the school system and educational issues relevant to a wider spectrum of voters. People interested in changing education for the better in Mount

Washington Valley are being welcomed to attend and participate."

Badger and Mayer, co-chairs of the coalition, along with a fi ve-person steering committee, have been organizing a larger coalition of interested community members into action teams to bring their goals to reality.

“We aren’t trying to reinvent the wheel here," Mayer said. "There are lots of great groups and programs already working hard on education here in the valley. We are nurturing a force for educational excellence, where people in the valley can discuss current educational successes and develop practical goals and programs that will make a difference in all of our childrens’ futures.”

The subcommittees have been busy, according to Badger.

The Data and Benchmarks Committee is charged with the task of analyzing current SAU 9 educational outcomes, staffing and cost data, and then comparing it to regional, state and national benchmarks. The committee will identify “Best Practices” in education, and lead the coalition's efforts to promote local school board policy and budget discussions that focus on data, explicit goals, and results.

The Marketing Committee will recruit businesses and citizens in support of the coalition's goals, as well as help to develop a message that promotes educational excellence founded on the information provided through the Data and Benchmark committee.

Part of the Marketing Committee's goal will be to "promote information that makes relevant the importance of children's educational success to a variety of members and voters in our community."

tee will be focused upon improving community turnout at school board meetings, the annual school district meeting, and at the polls.

The group is being assisted by the law firm of Cooper, Cargill and Chant to establish itself as an offi cial nonprofit.

Members of the coalition have met with key local leaders in the school system including administrators, teachers and union members, along with parents, state and local politicians from both parties, budget committee members, and school board members throughout the SAU 9 system. In addition, they have had discussions with Governor Lynch and chairs of the Senate education committees, and directors from N.H. state programs on education.

“We have taken the time to listen to a broad spectrum of individuals to establish a benchmark of where we are today,” said Badger. “From those meetings, we have established a very specific list of obtainable goals that we feel will benefit our children, our local school system, and the local economy.”

New owners, but ‘still the same store’ A North Conway institution, Sid’s Valley Food and Beverage, changes hands after 29 years

BY TOM EASTMAN THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — Convenience stores are the unofficial town halls of any community, and perhaps no local store has lived up to that truism more over the past 29 years than Sid's Valley Food and Beverage, owned over that span by Sid and Carol Potter.

It's been a place every morning to get your coffee, some doughnuts, and your latest dose of local gossip (including the news that has not yet made it into the Conway Daily Sun or the radio, or perhaps, never will).

Sid, 72, and Carol, 71, met during school days at Kennett High. Sid is a Conway native, Carol moved here from Laconia during her sophomore year. They were married when he was 19 and she had just turned 18 the day before.

The Potters have owned the property since 1969, when Sid — an avid former race car driver at Oxford Plains Speedway — initially ran it as a service

garage and gas station.

They converted it into a convenience store in 1982. They sold the variety store in 1987 but took it back over in 1991.

Now, they are ready to begin a new chapter in their lives.

The Potters sold their popular convenience store and gas stand Jan. 13 to a family from India, headed by Viral “Will” Patel, 31, who owns several convenience stores in Massachusetts as well as two in Manchester.

His family members now working at the store his uncles Ketan Patel and Kamlesh Patel. Kamlesh's son, Raj, 15, has been helping out as well.

Representing both the seller and buyer was David Cianciolo of

“Will Patel's cooperation, along with his willingness to work to make the deal happen, was excellent,” said Cianciolo. “And, of course, the Potters put in a huge effort to mount

the hurdles which were placed in front of all of us before the closing.”

Ken Cargill was the Potters' attorney, while Don Nicoletta of Northway Bank arranged the financing as the commercial lender.

The sale had originally been planned for late December, but was delayed due to state licensing and environmental concerns, according to the Potters.

The Patel family is grateful to be at Sid's.

“America is the land of opportunity. We are very happy to be here,” said young Raj, who is home-schooled but who may soon enroll at Kennett High.

(All of the family speaks English, but in a recent interview, Raj tended to serve as a spokesman because his accent is more easily understandable to most local residents.)

Will Patel, the owner, was not present the day of the interview as he was in India and is not due back until midFebruary. According to Raj, his uncle became

an American citizen last year; Raj and his fellow his family members are citizens of India and have green cards, Raj said.

“We have been here in America for a year,” says Raj, “but Will has been here for 10 years.”

He said Will Patel owns convenience stores in Massachusetts in Quincy, Malden and Lynn, in addition to his two stores in Manchester.

Some members of the family also own a laminating factory in India which manufactures fl exible packaging material.

••• Local scuttlebutt has it that a few longtime customers have not adapted well to the change of ownership. Word had it that some customers have gone on to frequent other stores as an informal boycott.

Questions about the veracity of those rumors drew a strong response from Sid Potter, who through the years has always been a man of strong opinion: “The way I see it,” said Sid, “if that were true, then that says more about those people. I think it's really about people not liking change.”

“These are very good people, very hard workers,” he added. “I think the world of these guys. I think the worst

thing now is that people have got to give them a chance to prove themselves. It's why Carol and I are in and out of here so often so we can help them.”

Added Carol, a gregarious host who has been greeting customers and making them part of the store's extended family all these years, “We want to see them make it and we want to see them take care of our customers who we have had for years and years.

I'm just working with them to smile more!

“I have had a lot of customers telling me they enjoy the new owners. It's still the same store,” she added.

Sid's is but one of several businesses in the community now owned by people of different nationalities.

Janice Crawford, executive director of the Mount Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce based down Main Street in North Conway, said America has always been a melting pot. She said she was sure that the majority of the community would embrace the new owners.

“If those rumors [of a boycott] are true, that sounds like racism. Our society has grown beyond that,” said Crawford, who remembers being a young girl in Miami in the early '60s, when there were many refugees from see SIDS next page 20

Three convenience stores came under new ownership in 2010

BY TOM EASTMAN THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — In addition to Sid's Valley Food and Beverage, at least two other convenience stores were sold in Mount Washington Valley over the past few months.

The Scenic Vista Country Store (356-5084) has new owners, Sherley and Clem McAuliffe, residents of Bartlett for the past fi ve years. They purchased the store Oct. 26 from longtime owner Sandy Merrill. That sale was transacted by Ron Robin of Tilton Real Estate.

Also sold this past July was Redstone Variety and Gas (356-0092).

John and Dawn McClure sold the popular eatery and store to British citizens Suzannah and Neil Stokes.

That sale, like the sale of Valley Food and Beverage, was handled by David Cianciolo of Badger Realty, who represented both the buyer and seller.

Northway Bank was the commercial lender.

“It is a bit unusual,” said Cianciolo this week, “to have three similar properties like Sid's, the Scenic Vista

Country Store and Redstone Variety all sell the same year. But convenience stores are attractive properties for people looking for a situation that has a good cash flow.”

Cianciolo notes that convenience stores do require a steady commitment from owners — which he always is up front about with potential buyers.

“To succeed,” said the veteran Realtor, “any business that is a mom and pop is a 24-7 type of venture. Whether a bed and breakfast, a motel, an inn, or convenience store, the demand is always there. The convenience store business has held up strong in this economy — they are an alternative to owning another hospitality business, such as an inn, and this has led to a couple of sales here in the valley of stores that have been successfully run by previous owners and which have been bought by well-qualifi ed owners with strong business acumen.”

Cianciolo says it is important for convenience store owners to keep a balance in their lives. An affable dissee STORES page 21

“I remember the Cubans as being hard-working and very entrepreneurial. They were good taxpayers and very involved in the community. Isn't that what we ask of all of our citizens in this country?”

••• Despite the rumors, the Patels say they have been “very welcomed” by customers.

“People have given us a very warm welcome and they have congratulated us,” said Raj. The family members said they will not be making any big changes to the store. Same hot coffee, same newspapers, same doughnuts, and same steamed hot dogs with the relish and French's mustard.

“Everything is the same,” said Kamlesh Patel, prompting Sid to boomingly note, “As they say, if it

ain't broke, don't fix it!”

Two of the Potters' employees are staying on with the new owners, they said.

The Potters have been training the new owners on all the paperwork and re-ordering that goes with keeping the stacks shelved and the back room wellstocked. “It used to take three of us to do it all — so even though they have done it at other stores, they are learning here,” said Carol.

The new owners presented Carol with her old office chair, which is kept in the store's offi ce. “They told me it was my memory chair and that it would always be there for me.”

Once, Sid's Esso garage was one of three serving the area of downtown North Conway from Kearsarge Street to Pine Street: the late Jesse E. Lyman III had his Shell station where Wine Thyme is now located; and the late Bud Rowell had his Mobil station two lots to the north of Sid's. That station has since been dismantled, and the site is now home to the relocated former Pine Street SAU 9 office that now serves as home to the White Mountain Cupcakery and other businesses.

Nearby for years was Roberts Food Mart in the Roberts Block, now New England Charms.

Sid ran an excavating business for the past 10 years. Carol spent more time at the store, so she and now-retiring manager Bob Philbrick took care of most of the business issues on site, “leaving many notes for Sid to look at at the end of the day.”

Carol always wanted to create a small coffee shop and ice cream shop combination. But, it never did materialize.

She says she will most miss the customers, as she did during the brief spell when they last sold the store in 1987 before taking it back over in 1991.

“They have been part of our family,” said Carol.

“This place has been an institution — because of my wife.

Everybody looked forward to her friendliness.”

Added Carol, “Our employees were a major part of it. We have had great employees,” she said, especially praising Philbrick for his years of service. “Bob was retiring anyway, but he stayed on longer to help us through [the transition],” she said.

They have seen changes in the local convenience store business, with the major supermarkets expanding. Other convenience stores have come and gone while others have been sold. Other have opened with longer operating hours.

Carol said she will definitely not miss having to open the store at 6 a.m, or telling their children that they would not be there

for Thanksgiving or Christmas morning.

“You are married to the store,” she said, adding that their children “were brought up in the store with playpens in the corner.”

Now, they are looking forward to spending more time with their three children, four grandchildren and great grandchild, actually using the motor home

they bought many years ago to see different parts of the country during the warmer months.

Still, as far as the Potters are concerned, North Conway will always be home.

“It's awfully hard not to come in and make the steamed hot dogs and coffee,” laughed Carol.

position and liking of the public is important, as is a need for family time.

“My recommendation to people is always to staff themselves with extremely key employees," said Cianciolo, “That way they can spend a Sunday or a Sunday evening with their family. Or, it also

works well to have their family involved in the management end of it as well — that gives them the freedom to live a normal, or near normal, life in this valley that has so much to offer.”

The family is certainly involved at Sid's with the Patels and their two employees.

It's also the same at the two other stores.

“My wife's brothers live here in the valley.

I'm originally from Manhattan, and Sherley is originally from Colebrook. Her brother Steve is co-owner of Margarita Grill. The store is a good fi t for our family,” said Clem McAuliffe of the Scenic Vista Country Store, noting that the Bartlett see STORES page 22

The store is located at the bottom of Hurricane Mountain Road and on Route 16, across from the state's Scenic Vista rest area. Tourists and locals alike frequent the business, which is known for its pizza, sandwiches. array of newspapers and good coffee.

“We are able to bring the kids here, and Sherley and I work together,” said McAuliffe, who says he has always worked with the public, working at his father's saloon in New York City as well as restaurants his entire life. His wife held corporate jobs for

20 years. “We are a good team — Sherley is very organized, and a good back-of-the-house person and I'm a good front of house — at least when I'm not trying to get pizza orders out!” he joked to a reporter during the phone interview, conducted during the busy lunchtime hour Wednesday.

The McAuliffes have opened up a former storage room, using their knowledge of the wine and beer industry to stock it with novelty beers and good wines. They are also slowly adding to the pizza deli.

Similarly, the Stokes have kept business pretty much the same at Redstone Variety: strong deli, good stock of supplies, and (unlike the Vista store) gas pumps outside. They note they actually looked at the Scenic Vista store before buying Redstone

Variety: it was the gas pumps that pointed them toward Redstone.

CONWAY -- When there’s unease about the economy, many people buy gold. And while prices may have come down a bit recently, it’s still make sense to have gold and other precious metals in your fi nancial portfolio, say several Mount Washington Valley experts.

Since the 1990s, the price of gold has risen from about $300 per ounce to about $1,400.

The public’s interest in gold stared to increase about a decade ago after events such as the Sept.

11 terrorist attacks and the Y2K scare of 2000. Now, people are concerned about the weakness of the dollar, says Tim Talbot, owner of Valley Jewelers, in Conway.

“A lot of people are afraid of a collapse in our monetary system,” said Talbot.

Unlike paper currencies, which rise and fall, gold and silver have held tangible value for thousands of years. Talbot said some customers say they are selling their

stocks and other investments to purchase gold and silver.

Silver is considerably cheaper than gold at just under $30 per ounce.

Valley Jewelers will buy and sell gold coins and jewelery. Talbot will buy jewelery even if it's broken.

Valley Jewelers sold about $1 million of gold bullion last year, which is a considerable amount for the Mount Washington Valley.

Silver is also a good investment because hundreds of new uses for silver are found each year, said Talbot. Silver is considered to be a precious and industrial metal.

Investment advisor Mark Patterson suggests people have up to 20 percent of their portfolio in precious and industrial metals. However, Patterson recommends people build up to that position.

Brian Smith of North Country Fair Jewelers believes gold prices will continue to rise. He also seen more Mount Washington Valley people getting into precious metals in the last decade. North County Fair also buys and sells anything gold

and silver. Gold should stay strong while the dollar is weak and the federal government is mired in debt, Smith said.

“It won’t crash, it’s just finding a bottom now for it’s next jump up,” said Smith about gold prices.

Smith said customers tell him they hope they’re wrong about precious metals being a wonderful investment because it would mean the rest of the economy is suffering.

Looking at a chart of gold prices that spans 10 years, Smith, noticed that there are dips and spikes but the long term trend is up.

In January gold drifted down from a high of just over $1,400 to about $1,340. The actual price fluctuates constantly throughout the day.

Patterson said he thinks gold has hit its peak for now. In contrast, silver could go up more quickly.

In the last decade, Patterson said he saw gold go from about $250 per ounce to $900 per ounce then back down to $600 per ounce and up to $1,400. In the next push up, it could reach $2,200 per ounce.

Patterson doesn’t think the crisis in Egypt will impact the gold trade.

Smith likes investing in gold in silver coins because there are two opportunities to make money. The first, is in the value of the metal and the second is in the value of the coin.

Among the most dramatic examples is a silver coin from the Atocha shipwreck, which occurred off the Florida Keys in 1622.

The coin’s silver content is worth about $30 but its history makes it worth $900. Other coins, such as 1958 silver half dollars command a premium because most were melted down for scrap, making the remaining coins more valuable.

Cultures around the globe value gold and silver because they are attractive, easy to work with, hold shape and don’t tarnish, said Smith.

Talbot recommends that people should get quotes from several sources before they sell their jewelery.

3D: Vivid but Dangerous?

When I was young the convenience store 7-11 used to collaborate with the local television network in Maryland, where I grew up, to air a 3D movie on primetime. The glasses were free with the purchase of a Slurpee and the fi lm was gripping. “Attack of The Swamp Monster” was my first 3D movie.

Nowadays, 3D fi lms are commonplace at the cinema and on television. The trend in cameras, portable gaming units and home entertainment devices is toward 3D. The excitement is easy to underscore; the imagery literally lands in your lap. Kids love it.

Dr. Brian Irwin But should they watch it?

We live in a 3D world. This is true because we see the world twice, once with each of our eyes. Each eye takes incoming light from a specifi c angle; the two angles viewed by our two eyes aren’t identical. One eye sees, for example, a glass of water, from one angle and the other eye views it from a slightly different angle. Both eyes dump this input into the brain, which processes it and combines the two images to make a 3D glass. If that glass weren’t a glass, but was a photo of a glass, the two images seen by the eyes would be identical, unlike an object that has depth where the different perspectives yield different shadows, wrinkles, etc.

3D films shoot subjects from two different vantage points. Both fi lms are played simultaneously, giving a “double vision” picture. Slap on 3D glasses which block the opposing image for each eye and viola, the brain is fed a 3D image to process and interpret. see IRWIN page 26

Memorial Hospital volunteers purchase electric breast pump for Birthing Center CONWAY — Memorial Hospital Volunteers recently purchased an electric breast pump for the Hospital’s Family Birthing Center. The hospital-grade pump, an effi cient heavy-duty model that draws milk from the mother’s breast at about the same rate as a nursing baby, is now the second such pump the unit can make available to new mothers.

As part of its ongoing efforts to meet the needs of birth moms, the Family Birthing Center at Memorial Hospital recently initiated steps to participate in a state-wide “Breastfeeding Friendly Hospital Initiative” that aims to improve the care and well-being of pregnant women, new mothers, and their newborns at health facilities providing maternity services.

Beat the Flu on your on terms Want to beat the flu on your terms?

It is that time of year and as if round the clock coverage has not told you already, it is flu season.

Flu shots are available but not all of you are knocking down the door to get one. I for one will pass but instead I will fight it naturally by allowing my own immune system bolstered by the new super vitamin, vitamin D. Okay vitamin D has been around for a long time but up until recently not a lot of emphasis had been put on it. In October 2008 the daily RDA of vitamin D was changed from 200 international units (IUs) to 400 IUs after clinical studies were conducted. Even though this was an improvement, it falls short of the amount of vitamin D the actually needs to provide maximum benefits for the body.

What benefi ts does vitamin D provide for you ask? Vitamin D is instrumental in bone strength, decreasing chronic pain, preventing diabetes and decreasing the symptoms of diabetics and low blood levels of the vitamin PUMP from page 25

ers who wish to breastfeed their babies — the ability to give their infants this important start in life.

Currently, there are two board certified lactation consultants on staff, Heather Towle , IBCLC (International Board Certifi ed Lactation Consultant) and Jessica Damon RN. “Experts agree that breastfeeding is the best way to feed your baby. It creates a warm bond between you and your baby and provides the best nutrition for your infant, protecting your baby against many illnesses,” said Towle.

“Memorial Hospital already has a well-established breastfeeding support program that is offered to all interested breastfeeding mothers by certified lactation counselors. In addition, a weekly Breastfeeding Support Group meets every Wednesday from 10-12 in the Family Room located in the Hospital’s Family Birthing Center.

Unlike viewing a glass, these 3D images are being fi red at your eyes at the rate of 24 frames per second.

That’s like having someone fl ip 24 objects in front of your eyes each second and expect your brain to keep up. It can, and it does, but at what cost?

The brain’s processing center can only maintain the effi ciency needed to interpret a 3D movie by shutting down other centers. The part of your brain that deals with morals, decision making and other functions is overridden, shut off while viewing occurs. And perhaps, after viewing stops.

Children, namely those under age 6, have rapidly developing neurological systems in their brains that may be squelched by the barrage of input a 3D movie generates. Some experts

Dr. Tony Soriente

contribute to diseases such as heart disease, hypertension, cancer, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis and type 1 diabetes. Decreased blood levels of vitamin D have also been linked to obesity. Vitamin D is important for immune function and is considered the “natural antibiotic.” Vitamin D and the body’s white blood cells react together causing a peptide that forms to specifi cally kill infectious agents such as the flu virus.

Generally vitamin D is synthesized via the skins interaction of the sun. Unfortunately during the winter months there are a shorter number of daylight hours and the sunlight is of poor quality for producing vitamin D. During the winter the sun is further away and at too low of an angle compared to the summer. This angle which prolongs the time sunlight travels through the ozone layer allowing the ozone to strip the sunlight of most of its ultraviolet vitamin D producing rays. see next page

Each week, approximately seven to 10 mothers participate in the program along with their newborns and toddlers,” said Ethnee Garner, vice president of nursing services.

“The Breastfeeding Support group recognizes that having a baby is a life changing experience. Bringing home a new baby can be challenging and, at times, isolating.

“The group meetings provide an opportunity for new moms to network with other young mothers and to receive valuable ongoing support,” said Towle. “With the addition of this new breast pump, both mother and baby will be able to engage in successful breastfeeding.”

This is the reason Nintendo has advised that its 3D games be avoided in children under age 6.

It’s not yet clear what, if any, problems can occur as a result of watching too many 3D movies. Even adults may be susceptible to ocular or central nervous system aberrations as a result of 3D imagery.

Until more data emerge, I’d have to at the least advise parents to avoid 3D movies in young children. It does seem that the verdict will be that these films aren’t worth the risk. I’m not letting my kids see them. At least until I know more.

Many studies have been conducted here in the New England area in reference to vitamin D levels.

Some of the studies were done in Bangor, Maine and another in Boston, Mass. Both studies found that people tested were vitamin D deficit at the end of winter and some were still defi cient at the end of summer.

According to Michael Holick, PHD, MD, an expert on vitamin D, “It’s estimated that anywhere from 30 percent to 80 percent of the U.S. population is vitamin D deficient.”

Fear of sun damage to skin has people using stronger sunscreens in order to protect themselves while blocking vital sun. We need the sun.

Not to be burnt to a crisp but an adequate amount to slightly redden the skin and produce a healthy vitamin D supply. Many individuals do not get out in the sun enough or do not expose enough skin during the summer to produce the vitamin D they need and if they are blocking the sunlight with sunscreen, they are even worse off.

Fortunately we live in a awesome area and most of our great citizens love to get outside and enjoy the rays however the winters are long and we need to fi ght off the doldrums and vitamin D will help keep your mood positive.

As part of Memorial’s activities on Friday, Feb. 4, the hospital cafeteria will provide a special “Red Menu” of entrees, salad bar, and dessert. All offerings will not only be red in color, but heart healthy too!

obtained solely through the sunlight as mentioned before but if the sunlight is of low quality, supplementation is required. As stated earlier the recommended daily allowance is 400 IUs but all of the current studies I have read indicate humans require a high amount.

Vitamin D toxicity is rare, and in order to reach a toxic amount in the body you would have to take at least 30,000 IUs daily over a period of several months to years. The average recommended amount for an adult is 1000-2000 IUs daily although I believe 5000 IUs daily is probably a better amount. Those taking 1000 IUs daily have been shown to have a 50 percent decrease in cancers (all types), and those taking 2000 IUs daily reduces risk of type 1 diabetes by 80 percent and decreases upper respiratory tract infections in elderly by 90 percent. If you happen to have the fl u already, the recommended dosage to fi ght it off is 2000 IUs per pound of body (a lot I know) for a period of three days. Vitamin D supplementation is available in pill form, liquids, specially fortified foods and fish oils.

Josiah Bartlett Elementary School student council starts Pennies for Patients campaign This week the Josiah Bartlett Elementary School student council has started their Pennies for Patients campaign. All the money donated goes to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Take the time to look under the cushions in your couch and on the fl oor of your car for loose change. Every little bit of change that is donated is greatly appreciated. I remember one day a few years ago, I was cleaning out old clothes from my closet and found $40 in my jeans pockets. It was like winning the lottery. So, search everywhere for your loose change, you never know what you might fi nd. I hope everyone has fun this week making snow angels in all the snow that has fallen in the last few days. It definitely feels like winter now.

The Bartlett Recreation Program, The Bartlett Police Department, and Josiah Bartlett Elementary School are considering applying for a 21st Century Community Learning Center grant.

This fi ve-year grant would provide for academic and enrichment opportunities beyond the normal operating hours of the school day and can range from $50,000 to $135,000 for the fi rst three years and decreasing in amount for the next two years. Input from the Bartlett community is important.

Go to the Town of Bartlett website at bartlettnh.org and click on the link to the Recreation Department to fi nd a short survey or go

to the Bartlett School website at jbartlett.k12.nh.us:1234 and fi nd a link to the survey on the home page. Your opinion is important.

Don’t forget this Saturday from 5 to 7 p.m. is the first church supper of the year at the Bartlett Church.

There will be a variety of homecooked food to entice everyone.

The Church Mice have been hard at work to make this year the best one ever. Choices will include (but not be limited to), home-made rolls and brown bread, salad, coleslaw, macaroni and cheese, potato salad, spinach and meat lasagna, turkey, chicken, ham, and home-made desserts. We hope you all are looking forward to meeting neighbors, friends and visitors to the valley, while enjoying a great meal, good people, and wonderful conversation. We’re easy to find at the blinking light in the center of Bartlett Village (Rte 302), turn onto Bear Notch Road and the Church is on your right. Hope to see you there.

A reminder to those who so kindly donate food to help defray the costs, bring your items to the church during February using the following guide: 1. Bring your donation on Wednesdays. The church opens at 7 a.m. and closes at 6 p.m. 2. Purchases are made on Thursday in order to cook larger items Friday. 3. Friday is the cooking crew and we could use help from anyone — 9 a.m. until completed. 4. Those who bake should bring items on Saturday any time

DILBERT

by Darby Conley

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It would be wrong to assume that because you are older than you were yesterday you are also dimmer. The opposite is true: Your light burns brighter as you age.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Knowing that there are benefi ts to doing the appropriate thing, you will think twice before you bare your soul.

Your restraint will prove to be a classy move.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19 ).

Your compassion is needed. You may not like a certain person’s bad habits, but you love the person nonetheless, and your actions will spring from that love.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). No matter what occurrence you encounter, there is always a multitude of responses to choose from. It is beneficial to look at your life in a way that doesn’t cause you to be alarmed.

PISCES (Feb. 19 -March 20). Go with your intuition, even if it seems ludicrous to do so. Your sign mate Albert Einstein said, “We should take care not to make the intellect our god; it has, of course, powerful muscles, but no personality.”

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 3).

You are compelled toward meaningful work this year. Monetary gains reward you, but the real motivating force is to contribute to the world something that will be solid and enduring. You will fi nd freedom in your loving relationships, and you really do have the best of both worlds. Taurus and Capricorn people will be especially generous with you.

Your lucky numbers are: 45, 39 , 20, 1 and 16.

Get Fuzzy

HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19 ). When you do good deeds, you will do them with passion. If you can muster the same degree of passion that bad men cultivate while doing evil, then you will provide a much-needed counterbalance.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The one you admire needs someone to lean on and will look for signs of compassion and kindness. Relax and let your natural goodness shine through. A magic connection happens tonight.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If you find yourself saying, “What could possibly go wrong?” it is a sign that you shouldn’t be counting on that particular scenario to go anything but terribly askew.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Being decisive can show your confi dence and power. However, right now you are better off leaving your options open.

Play the fi eld. If you don’t have to decide, put it off.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You will miraculously transform a situation that is clearly not in your favor into something that will ultimately benefi t you.

Pat yourself on the back now, and then enjoy it when others do the same two weeks from now.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Not only will you gain immense satisfaction from attempting to improve your performance over yesterday’s scores, but you will also succeed in the effort.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You just can’t keep a secret today. However you try, your body language will not be able to hold back your true feelings. You will telegraph your hopes, fears, stresses and triumphs.

THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Thursday, February 3, 2011— Page 31

Today is Thursday, Feb. 3, the 34th day of 2011. There are 331 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 3, 1959, rock-and-roll stars Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and J.P. “The Big Bopper” Richardson died in a small plane crash near Clear Lake, Iowa.

On this date: In 1811, American newspaper editor Horace Greeley was born in Amherst, N.H. In 1865, President Abraham Lincoln and Confederate Vice President Alexander H. Stephens held a shipboard peace conference off the Virginia coast; the talks deadlocked over the issue of Southern autonomy.

In 1924, the 28th president of the United States, Woodrow Wilson, died in Washington, D.C., at age 67.

In 1930, the chief justice of the United States, William Howard Taft, resigned for health reasons. (He died just over a month later.)

In 1943, during World War II, the U.S. transport ship Dorchester, which was carrying troops to Greenland, sank after being hit by a German torpedo; of the more than 900 men aboard, only some 230 survived.

In 1959, An American Airlines Lockheed Electra crashed into New York’s East River, killing 65 of the 73 people on board.

In 1966, the Soviet probe Luna 9 became the first manmade object to make a soft landing on the moon.

In 1971, New York City police officer Frank Serpico, who had charged there was widespread corruption in the NYPD, was shot and seriously wounded during a drug bust in Brooklyn.

In 1991, the rate for a first-class postage stamp rose to 29 cents.

One year ago: A suicide bomber killed seven people in northwestern Pakistan, including three U.S. soldiers. Motivational speaker James Arthur Ray was arrested on manslaughter charges after three people died following a northern Arizona sweat lodge ceremony he’d led in Oct. 2009.

Actress Frances Reid, 95, died in Los Angeles.

Today’s Birthdays: Comedian Shelley Berman is 85. Former Sen. Paul Sarbanes (D-Md.) is 78. Football Hall-of-Famer Fran Tarkenton is 71. Actress Bridget Hanley is 70. Actress Blythe Danner is 68.

DOUBLE WEDDING AND SHOWERS POSE DOUBLE TROUBLE FOR GUEST

DEAR ABBY: What’s your opinion of having a double wedding and a double shower for two girls within the same family? Would it be appropriate to split the monetary gift since it combines the events? Please do not identify me because I have already expressed my dismay to another family member and was told that I’m the only person who thinks it is inappropriate. I need to know if it is socially acceptable.

-- ANONYMOUS IN THE MIDWEST DEAR ANONYMOUS: My mother and her identical twin sister married in a double wedding. Because they did practically everything together, I wouldn’t be surprised if they also had a double shower -- although I never thought to ask her about it.

Please remember that wedding and shower gifts are just that -- GIFTS. You are not compelled to spend more than you can afford, but there should be a separate one for each event that you attend.

DEAR ABBY: I work with another woman who always comes to the offi ce in professional attire. She is lovely. My only problem with her clothing is that it’s so devoid of color that it makes her appear incredibly drab and depressed. She wears all beige, all black or all white, which does nothing to enhance her beauty.

She is a quiet person, so I understand her not wearing flashy reds or loud colors, but a little bit would bring out her inner vitality.

Would it be presumptuous of me to suggest she might add some color to her wardrobe, or should I just leave it alone?

Should I buy her a scarf to brighten up all those muted ensembles? -- SUFFERING IN BEIGE-LAND DEAR “SUFFERING”: If I were you I would tread care-

fully in this area. Your lovely co-worker may wear monochromatic outfits because she does not wish to draw attention to her beauty and inner vitality. If you are close to her, you might buy her a scarf and say you picked it up because you thought it would look wonderful with her beige suit. However, if she doesn’t wear it, don’t take offense and don’t push the issue.

Not everyone has the same taste in fashion.

DEAR ABBY: I am a 46-year-old woman who has always believed in the adage “A smile is the only language that everyone can understand.” Sometimes I will offer a quick, casual smile to people I encounter in a grocery store or other public place.

Last week, a woman frowned at me when I smiled at her.

Another woman passed me with a puzzled look on her face.

A young man’s infl ated ego allowed him to respond with a “No thanks!” after I offered him a smile. It’s a shame that in today’s world some people have become so ill-mannered that they cannot return a smile and accept it for what it is -- a friendly gesture. -- HAVE A NICE DAY IN BARGERSVILLE, IND. DEAR H.A.N.D.: My mother used to say that the most effective cosmetic a woman can wear is a smile. In stressful times we don’t see enough of them. The individuals you encountered must have been having a bad day. Allow me to share a wonderful thought penned by a gentleman named Robert L. Bass: “Warmth is a communicable disease. If you haven’t got it, no one will be able to catch it from you.” Please don’t stop smiling.

TO MY ASIAN FRIENDS: Today marks the fi rst day of the Lunar New Year. It’s the Year of the Rabbit -- so let’s hop to it!

-- Love, ABBY
