CONCORD — Long time executive councilor Ray Burton would have liked to give Ward Bird a full pardon but the governor wouldn’t let that happen.

Bird, 50, of Moultonborough, spent 77

Ray Burton reflects on decision to commute Ward Bird’s sentence days behind bars on a 2006 felony criminal threatening conviction. On Wednesday, the executive council voted 5-0 to commute Ward Bird’s three to six year sentence. Meaning, Bird would be free from jail but the felony

conviction would stand. Earlier, the executive council voted 5-0 for a full pardon, but was blocked by Governor John Lynch. see BIRD page 8

Rival gins arrive in Brooklyn

3DAYFORECASTLOTTERY

(NY Times) — For Joe Santos, producing and distributing his own gin was a way to say goodbye to the lock-step march of the corporate world and hello to creativity and originality.

He wanted to give the gin a name that communicated that. So he invoked a certain New York City borough, the one currently outpacing the others in self-satisfaction.

Brad Estabrooke got into the gin business around the same time, and in a similar, um, spirit. Like Mr. Santos he wanted whatever he called his gin to capture the small-scale, personal nature of his nascent operation. And he too decided to pay homage to the section of the city.

The existence of both Mr. Santos’s Brooklyn gin and Mr. Estabrooke’s Breuckelen gin provides an unusually clear — you could even say distilled — example of just how much the symbolism of that borough has changed and just how potent its branding potential is perceived to be.

A legal battle has of course taken shape, with Mr. Santos suing Mr. Estabrooke for trademark infringement.

Mr. Santos, whose Brooklyn gin was registered fi rst with the federal Patent and Trademark Offi ce, told me that any confusion created by such phonetically similar names could do him commercial harm.

CHICAGO (NY Times) — Chicago, a city that prides itself on its ability to conquer any snowstorm that comes its way, woke up Wednesday to discover that hundreds of people had been trapped for hours — scared and confused, in part because of the vague advice they heard from emergency workers — along a prominent roadway that runs smack through the heart of the city.

When Jenny Theroux plotted her commute home Tuesday afternoon, she was certain she would arrive well before the full force of the blizzard hit. But Ms. Theroux would sat in her car for the next 12 hours and 45 minutes at a dead stop,

As 70-mile-an-hour gusts whipped her Mazda 3 and eerie thunder boomed nearby, snow fell so fast that she could not see through the gauzy blur beyond her windshield. Ms. Theroux called Chicago’s municipal help line, turned the engine on occasionally to warm up, and waited and waited, just 800 frustrating feet from an exit ramp.

“I’m from a small town in Minnesota, where if you get stranded, you’re basically all alone,” Ms. Theroux, 23, said on Wednesday. “But here I was, right here, and I felt the same way — completely isolated.”

Protests in Yemen unfold peacefully SANA, Yemen (NY Times) — Thousands of pro- and antigovernment demonstrators held peaceful protests in this impoverished capital on Thursday, playing out themes that have rocked nations across the Arab world as autocratic leaders struggle to press back the roaring demands of movements hungry for democracy, accountability and rule of law.

Yemen’s tribal culture and its heavily armed population raised fears of violence as events here seemed to unfold at a consolidated pace, with all sides trying to draw lessons from popular uprisings in Tunisia and then Egypt. But the events in the city appeared to end peacefully one day after the president, Ali Abdullah Saleh, went on television to offer his own concession to increasingly large oppositions protests. He promised that he would not run — and that his son would also not run — when his term expires in 2013.

He also saw to it that the capital was full of supporters when the opposition arrived.

National ‘Retire Ronald’ campaign comes to N.H.

BY CLYNTON NAMUO THE UNION LEADER

PORTSMOUTH — Apparently, not everyone is “lovin’ it” when it comes to Ronald McDonald.

A corporate accountability organization is bringing its nationwide campaign pushing McDonald’s to get rid of its well-known mascot, Ronald McDonald, to Portsmouth.

Corporate Accountability International argues that the mascot is being used to market junk food to children and is contributing to the nation’s growing number of obese youngsters.

According to statistics released last month by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, one in three young people is overweight or obese.

The group plans to deliver petitions with hundreds of signatures asking for Ronald’s removal to several McDonald’s restaurants nationwide today, including one on Route 1 in Portsmouth owned by the Napoli Group, a major franchise owner in the Northeast.

“They have a critical role to play in compelling McDonald’s to stop the predatory marketing of junk food to our kids,” Sriram Madhusoodanan, Corporate Accountability’s Portsmouth organizer, said of franchisees.

As part of its Retire Ronald campaign, Corporate Accountability hopes to create a groundswell of support from franchise owners to prod the McDonald’s corporate offi ce to get rid of Ronald.

McDonald’s said in a statement issued by its corporate office in Illinois that it has no intention of changing its mascot, and defended what they say

“Ronald McDonald is not retiring,” the statement said. “He is the heart and soul of Ronald McDonald House Charities, which lends a helping hand to families in their time of need, particularly when families need to be near their critically-ill children in hospitals.

In fact, four million children are helped every year around the world through the Ronald McDonald House Charities.

Meanwhile, every night, 6,400 families with critically ill children will stay at one of our 300 Ronald McDonald Houses around the world.”

The statement went on to say, “Ronald also helps deliver messages to families on many important subjects such as safety, literacy and the importance of physical activity and making balanced food choices. That’s what Ronald McDonald is all about, which our customers know and appreciate; a fact that surveys support.”

Madhusoodanan said his organization has delivered many petitions since launching its campaign last spring and so far hasn’t heard much from franchise owners.

Napoli officials could not be reached for comment on Wednesday.

McDonald’s has been at the forefront of providing healthier options among fast food restaurants in recent years. The ubiquitous Happy Meals that kids favor can now be ordered with apples instead of fries, and milk or apple juice instead of soda.

But Madhusoodanan said Ronald McDonald is still used to target children and equated him with Joe Camel.

“Ronald McDonald is arguably the most iconic marketing tool of all time,” he said.

Positive experience at Kennett High School

Susan Bruce

To the editor: Today my friend John Ford, from the old Saco Inn, and I took a lunch trip to the Mineral Springs Cafe at Kennett High School.

Unfortunately, it was not open because of school exams. Just as I was thinking what a wasted trip with my elderly friend, Amy Burnop, dean of students, greeted us at the door and enthusiastically suggested a tour. Our many thanks to this positive wonderful woman who took us to the

Regulating Women

automotive, woodworking and culinary arts program.

We then met chef Richard Mattei and souf-chef Tim Remillard, who explained their popular program to us. How fortunate the students are to have these positive role models in their lives. Many, many thanks to all of you. Mr. Ford was very impressed and your kindness was over the top.

We will be there for lunch next week!

Mary Ellen Stagliano Madison

Thanks to those who helped at accident To the editor, There’s no keeping secrets in a small town. As reported, I was indeed the dolt that drove into the post office. I’m not proud of it and deeply regret the damage done, but with my name on the radio there’s no hiding. I thank God nobody was hurt. I want to thank Officer Boucher, the fire and rescue crews, includ-

ing Keith — a true community treasure, the staff at Memorial Hospital, Patricia, the folks at Bryants, the kind woman who stayed with me until help arrived, the Post Mistress and Sandy. Thank you for all being part of what makes our community such a wonderful place to live.

Suze Hargraves Conway

Asking again the cost of submitting bills To the editor: About the middle of January I asked our Representatives a question on the cost of submitting LSRs or bills. I am still waiting for a response.

The delegation will be meeting on Feb. 7 at the

county complex so I will bring this up again when every one is present. As a tax payer and a voter I deserve a response and hope that one will be provided to me by then.

Residents held hostage for money or lost police services To the editor: Here they go again; Conway residents being held hostage for money or loss of services by the Conway Police Department for certain criminal codes that their jobs require them to uphold under the New Hampshire RSAs. I do believe that the Conway Police Department has done a good job, but then I read in the paper dated Jan. 26 about some of the services Conway Police Department is threatening to cut if they do not get the $50,000 reinstated to the budget, such as: investigating bad checks. I guess what I have to say about investigating the bad checks, is why bother with those types of activities at all? Why do I say that? I know of a particular case which involved a friend (the victim) whom I have the power of attorney to act in his behalf, so I receive updates about the case. The defendant’s name was published in the local newspapers, and yes it was about writing bad checks and forging the signature of my friend on those checks to obtain money.

The court system today would rather barter with the defendants though plea bargaining (the decrease in the penalty of the crime for some form of a guilty plea) instead of the proper punishment according to New Hampshire’s established laws. Why? You will have to ask the county attorney that question. It seems that an individual writing bad checks from someone else’s account (the forgery of another’s name) is not that important to the courts even though the laws set in place for such crimes according to RSA 638:1 Forgery: section III. Forgery is a class B felony if the writing is or purports to be: (b) a check, an issue of stocks, bonds, or any other instrument representing an interest in or a claim against property, or a pecuniary interest in or claim against any person or enterprise. In this case, it was a couple of checks.

Now, let’s talk about RSA 638:26 Identity Fraud: section I. A person is guilty of identity fraud when the person: (a) Poses as another person with the purpose to defraud in order to obtain money, credit, goods, services, or anything else of value; which according to section II. Identity fraud is a class a felony.

Also, RSA 637:8 Theft of Services, section II. A person commits theft if, having control over the disposition of services of another, to which he knows he is not entitled, he diverts such services to his own benefi t or to the benefi t of another who he knows is not entitled thereto. The defendant should be charged with this criminal code also.

The defendant in this case is guilty under both RSA’s 638:1 section III(b) and 638:26 section I(a), and is walking away with time served (a couple of months) and some probation. The defendant was released while waiting for his court date to enter his plea bargain. So my point is, why bother to pay for any services that only end in allowing the guilty free from the punishment under the full extent of the law for Class A and B Felonies. If you do the crime, you do the time. At least that is the way it used to be.

If the Conway Police Department wants to cut services, let’s not pay for the police offi cer to direct traffi c for the church in North Conway. Put those resources to solving crimes, punish the guilty to the full extent of the law and stop allowing those guilty to plea their way out of the just punishment just because it may be easier. Maybe, just maybe if those who commit crimes knew there were heavy consequences to pay for their actions they might think twice. Why does it always have to be about money or else ultimatums?

Let’s abolish Tamworth planning board and start anew To the editor: In regard to Dom Bergen’s Letter to the editor dated Feb. 1, stating that the Tamworth Planning Board is obligated to propose zoning ordinance ...

Obligated to who?

He states that the current proposed ordinance was prepared for Tamworth, by Tamworth residents.

I believe it was prepared by FOCUS just to stop CMI. Zoning does nothing to help the people of Tamworth. All it does is restrict the people’s freedom and hamper small business.

This arrogant planning board who sit there rolling their eyes and throwing their arms in the air when citizens try to voice their opinions, look down on us like we are stupid and they know it all.

This FOCUS-riddled bunch of wellto-do know-it-alls are in fact the stupid ones. They have house-painters who think they are hydrologists and homemakers who think they are geologists and they all think they know more then the DES of New Hampshire and the Army Corp of Engineers.

They look down their noses at us

and try to tell us we need zoning. It’s funny how they claim that almost 400 surveys came back in favor of zoning and there are almost 400 FOCUS supporters.

What happened to the rest of us?

Were our surveys thrown in the trash? I am sure mine was because I spoke out against FOCUS. They never even acknowledged they received our surveys.

As far as I am concerned, the master plan was written by FOCUS, for FOCUS. I know one of the FOCUS czars was instrumental in preparing it.

FOCUS is a registered special interest group and has no place on the planning board, which is suppose to be a neutral panel. Yes, I am interested in being part of the process, as Dom asks, by casting my vote to abolish the planning board.

I urge others who are fed up with being bullied by planning board and town government to do the same. Let’s abolish the planning board and start anew. Please come out and exercise your right to vote in March.

BIRD from page one

“This was a very unusual saga of events,” said Burton on Thursday afternoon.

The executive council made its decision Wednesday following Bird’s testimony Tuesday. Bird was released from Carroll County House of Corrections in Ossipee shortly after 9 p.m.

Wednesday.

Bird was convicted of threatening Christine Harris who trespassed on his property while she searched for a parcel of nearby land that was for sale. She testifi ed against Bird at his trial; Bird didn’t take the stand and was convicted by a jury.

Burton, of Bath, said the case was high profi le and quite diffi cult to decide but it was his job to go in with an open mind.

Among the complicating factors was that there were no witnesses or recordings of the event that led to Bird’s conviction. Also, the county attorney who prosecuted Bird, Robin Gordon, was no longer in offi ce. But Burton said newly-elected County Attorney Tom Dewhurst did a “good job” representing the prosecution.

“The process worked but maybe not to the pleasure of everyone,” said Burton.

Burton heard a number of opinions

reduced by about $20,000.

“We believe we’ve found a way to do it better and much more economically,” Carl Nelson, school superintendent, said of the air-handling system.

The Conway School Board is close to fi nalizing the warrant. There’s just one article still to nail down: Article 6 is a new contract agreement with the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (bus drivers and custodians) that needs to be fi nalized, which could happen as early as this Monday night at a special meeting of the school board (6:30 p.m. at the Conway Professional Development Center at the Kennett Middle School).

The board had been bracing for the possibility of over $1 million in special articles, but is now looking at $731,158 (excluding the amount for Article 6).

The teachers’ contract — No. 7 — is $100,000 less than last year. That, along with reductions to the air han-

from many people while the debate about freeing Bird was raging. Burton said he took them all in to consideration. Among those opinions was oral testimony from Bird and written testimony from Harris. Bird’s fi nal statement, said Burton, was to make it clear that he didn’t point a weapon at Harris. Bird made the statement under oath. Harris didn’t appear at the pardon hearing. She released a statement through the county’s victim witness advocate.

Burton said perhaps the outcome of the case would have been different had Bird taken the stand in court.

Burton doesn’t consider Bird’s case to be a distraction because participating in the pardon hearing is part of the job he was elected to do. Burton has served on the N.H. Executive Council since 1977.

In six years in offi ce, Lynch has never allowed a pardon hearing to move forward. In contrast, until about 20 years ago pardon hearings occurred quite frequently, Burton said.

Burton represents a number of towns in Carroll County including Moultonborough, Conway, and Ossipee. In addition he also represents all the towns in Coos and Grafton Counties.

WMUR and the Union Leader contributed to this story.

dler and Project SUCCEED article and removal of another article, represent a decrease of over $250,000.

The school board has been proposing another warrant article seeking $28,700 (half of the employee’s salary and benefi ts package) for the sous chef position in the MWV Career and Technical Center. Members learned last month it will not have to go that route, at least next year. Nelson informed the board that the district will receive a federal grant for over $100,000 and that money can be used to fund positions such as the sous chef, who is also a culinary arts teacher.

The deliberative portion of annual school meeting is scheduled for March 9 at 7 p.m. in Loynd Auditorium at Kennett High School. The actual voting portion of school meeting is April 12 from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Conway Community Building in Center Conway. see next page

Other articles on this year’s warrant include: No. 2 — an operating budget of $33,085,373. The board voted 6-1 (Randy Davison in the minority) to support this budget figure.

No. 3 is the Kennett High Facilities Maintenance Fund for $54,443.

No. 4 is Kennett Middle School Facilities Maintenance Fund for $17,086.

No. 5 is Elementary Schools Facilities Maintenance Fund for $9,900.

(Articles 3-5 are required under the 20-year tuition contract with sending towns Albany, Bartlett, Eaton, Freedom, Jackson, Madison and Tamworth.)

No. 6 is a new contract agreement between the school board and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (bus drivers and custodians) for the 2011-12 school year to fund employee salaries and benefits. The amount has not yet been determined. Last year it was for $31,022 and it passed.

No. 7 is for a one-year collective bargaining agreement between the school board and the Conway Education Association (teachers) for the 2010-11 school year to fund employee salaries and benefi ts for $147,419. Last year the contract fi gure was for $255,436 and it failed by fi ve votes. The teachers’ union is currently working under the terms of the 2008-09 agreement.

No. 8 is for a one-year collective bargaining agreement between the school board and the Conway Educational Support Personnel for the 2011-12 school year to fund employee

salaries and benefits for $12,360. Last year the contract was for $18,823 and it passed.

No. 9 is for Project SUCCEED (Schools Under Contract Creating Enriching Extended Days) at John Fuller, Pine Tree and Conway Elementary for $59,950. Organizers of the program anticipate $20,000 in revenue to offset taxes, and additional grants would be sought.

Last year, a request for $77, 307 was voted down, prompting a massive fund-raising campaign. A local family offered a $20,000 matching grant if the program could fund-raise another $20,000 over the summer, which it did.

No. 10 is a capital reserve fund for buses in the amount of $150,000.

No. 11 is for the third of a three-year phase for the Conway School District’s technology plan, $75,000.

No. 12 is for the school building maintenance fund for $100,000 (was $130,000 last year, but failed).

No. 13 is for roof repairs at Conway Elementary School for $30,000.

Jim Hill, director of administrative services for the district, said a roof leak has been temporarily fixed.

“We did have a leak until we put a case of caulking on it last week,” he said. “It’s a 1970’s roof membrane; unfortunately, the sheet rock below it has now been ruined.”

No. 14 is an air handler for the 1956 building at the Kennett Middle School for $50,000.

“It’s the primary heating source for the 1956 portion of that building,” Hill explained.

No. 15 is for an expendable trust for special education for $100,000 (was also $100,000 last year, but failed).

Special meeting to be held Monday night to nail down 2011-12 program of studies

BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — Kennett High principal Neal Moylan hopes the Conway School Board will approve the program of studies for the 2011-12 school year this Monday night at a special meeting.

The meeting will be held at 6:30 p.m. at the Conway Professional Development Center at the Kennett Middle School.

“We really need to get this approved and to the printers as quickly as possible,” Moylan said. “We’re facing a tight deadline, that’s why the special meeting was called for.”

Moylan will most likely face some of the same questions raised at the Joint Boards meeting two weeks ago.

There, members of the Conway board questioned the need for requiring students take at least one MWV Career see MEETING page 10

PROGRAM from page 9

Technical course in order to graduate and also whether driver’s education could be offered for credit, something it is not currently done.

The Joint Boards is made up of members of all the area’s school boards, which meet twice a year. On hand for that meeting were board chairman Vicki Harlow and Nancy Kelemen, both of Bartlett; Jane Gray, Pat Philbrick and Judie Goss, all of Eaton; Dick Klement, Randy Davison and Syndi White, all of Conway; Joe Kopitsky and Genn Anzaldi, both of Jackson; Colleen Cormack, of Albany; and David Farley, of Tamworth.

Representatives from Freedom and Madison did not attend the meeting due to prior school commitments that evening.

Presently, the Conway School District has a one-

year contract with the Ingersoll Driving School, based out of Berlin. The contract is scheduled to expire at the end of this school year in June. The Conway School Board has long talked about returning to previous days at Kennett where a faculty member taught the program and it came under the school’s program of studies.

“When I was in high school I did it that way,” Moylan said. “It was taught by an industrial arts teacher. I would be supportive if the school board wanted to go that direction.”

Under the arrangement with Ingersoll Driving School, which was seeking a two- or three-year contract last summer but the Conway School Board balked, the front offi ce at Kennett High has a business card for the driving school. Parents contact the driving school to sign their children up for the

program, paying in the neighborhood of $500 for the fi ve-week course.

The driving school books classroom time with the Conway School District.

“If you’re 16 and want to get your license, you know what you have to do,” Moylan said, explaining the process.

“You’re well aware of who you need to see and where to see them.”

Ingersoll currently serves between 125 to 150 students annually at Kennett High. It was the lone company to bid on last year’s contract.

Both Klement and Davison inquired about offering credit for the course, something other school districts do.

“The way the program is offered now,” Moylan said, “There’s no way I could support (offering credit) for it. I’m unhappy with how driver’s ed. is being offered now. It’s filled with some really not all that positive characteristics, and

I’ll leave it at that.”

“Some members of my board feel students should not be required to take a Career Tech course,” Klement said.

“The feeling among my colleagues is it should not be a requirement.”

Klement added the requirement to take a Career Tech course has blocked students from being able to take core courses they feel may be of greater benefi t to them down the academic road.

Also, under the N.H. Department of Education’s graduation requirements, a Career Tech course is not a requirement.

“New Hampshire’s graduation requirements are the minimum standard,” Moylan replied. “We have opted as a district to say minimum is not good enough.”

School superintendent Carl Nelson shed some historical perspective on

the topic. “The Career Tech course was added in 2005,” he said. “It was a decision of the policy committee who made the recommendation to the full Conway (School) Board.”

Davison would like to see the requirement dropped and said he has had citizens make the request for that to happen.

“I’ve heard from the community that requirement often throws students into an area where they have no interest,” he said. “By placing this requirement on them, they are often bumped out of courses that would have made their education more beneficial.”

One item in the new program of studies everyone seems to like is the makeover the Kennett High English Department is getting.

“It’s a really exciting time for the English Department,” Penny Kittle, curriculum coor-

dinator for the district, said.

Freshman reading has been replaced by Extreme Reading.

English I has been replaced by Freshman Readers’ and Writers’ Workshop.

English II, English III and American Literature have been replaced by a wide range of course offerings such as Shakespeare; American Literature I; American Literature II; The Hero’s Journey; Science Fiction; Media and Society; The Art of Persuasion; British Literature; Nonfiction Reading and Writing; Desktop Publishing to Blogging to Website Production; Reading and Writing about Outdoor Sports; A History of New Hampshire Through Literature; The Big Book (War and Peace); Sports Literature; The Beats; Gender in Literature; Reading Around the World; Genre Studies; Creating Children’s Literature; Writing as a Naturalist; and Essay Writing.

“I think it’s really exciting for the students here,” Davison said.

“Kudos to the English Department for the long overdo overhaul. We’re moving our curriculum out of the fossil era.”

Arrest made in 2008 burglary of Berlin church BERLIN — Police Thursday arrested a Berlin man for allegedly burglarizing and vandalizing St. Anne’s Church in 2008.

The Berlin Police Department charged Roger Dana, 37, of Berlin, with felonylevel theft and burglary for allegedly entering St. Anne’s Church and stealing numerous religious items, according to a press release issued Thursday.

Dana’s bail was set at $10,000 cash or surety and he was transported to the Coos County House of Corrections in West Stewartstown in lieu of bail.

The items stolen from the church included a monstrance, which holds the Eucharist; a three-foot candlestick; and a reliquary. The estimated the value of the items ranged between $15,000 to $20,000.

Emily Layne: Drawing from life

BY ALEC KERR

THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

Emily Layne, a senior at Fryeburg Academy, is an aspiring artist with an interest in graphic novels. She recently did a graphic novel adaptation of Edgar Allen Poe’s “The Cask of Amontillado” as an assignment for Mr. St. Pierre.

When did you get into art?

When I was younger, my dad started dating a woman and she was an artist and worked with art. She influenced me.

Whenever we’d hang out or when I went over to visit them we’d do art projects and draw all day.

What sort of things do you like doing?

When I was younger, I mostly focused on anime, but since then I’ve kind of moved out of that into my own style, but it reflects a lot of cartoon and anime mix as far as the style goes. Abstraction. I like to draw that people might be thinking rather than what’s really there with a lot of stuff, I mean not all the time, but a lot of time I like to look at how things look in the mind versus how they look actually in the world. see next page

M&D’s ‘Diary of Anne Frank’ opens Feb. 10 CONWAY — M&D Productions proudly begins their 11th season of live theater with “The Diary of Anne Frank.” This powerful true story based on a young Jewish girl’s journal documenting her family’s experiences hiding from the Nazis during World War II, runs Thursday, Fridays and Saturdays, Feb. 10 through Feb. 26, at 7 p.m. in Your Theatre in North Conway.

From her attic hiding place in Amsterdam, teenager Anne Frank recorded daily happenings and penned essays on her hopes and dreams despite the constant fear of discovery for over nearly three years. The real Secret Annex at 263 Prinsengracht in Amsterdam is now a museum known in English as the Anne Frank House.

The set designer, Deb Jasien, visited

the Annex years ago and has created a set which replicates it’s scale and proportions. The beams and windows in attic space are also similar in appearance and dimensions.

The play “The Diary of Anne Frank” by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett is adapted from “The Diary of a Young Girl,” written by Anne Frank and edited by her father, Otto Frank, after Anne’s death in a concentration camp.

M&D is presenting the recent stage adaptation by Wendy Kesselman, which contains restored entries from Anne’s original diary that had previously been omitted in the 1947 version of the book.

This acclaimed, new version of the play opened on Broadway in December 1997 with a cast including Natalie Portman as Anne and Linda Lavin as Mrs. Van Daan.

The local production, directed by Dennis O’Neil, will feature Jessica Biggio as Anne, Richard Russo as her father Otto, Christy Hikel as Edith, her mother, and Courtney Phelps as her sister, Margot.

Kevin O’Neil will portray Mr. Van Daan, Suzie Laskin Mrs. Van Daan, Ged Owen their son Peter, with Bill Knolla playing Dr. Dussel. Rounding out the cast will be Julie Lanoie as Miep Gies, Dan Phelps as Mr. Kraler, and Eric Jordan, Greyson Hikel and Dan Tetreault. This show has been placed in adjudication for the 2011 NH Theatre Awards.

Tickets for “The Diary of Anne Frank” range from $10 for students to $25 for non-members and all performances are at 7 p.m. Group discounts and advance reservations are available by calling Your Theatre at 662-7591.

What are some of your influences?

I like to look at other artists’ works and I find a lot of stuff comes from that, not their work itself, but…I don’t know how to describe it. I look at other people’s work and integrating concepts or just thinking. My friend printed me off all kinds of stuff to draw like silence or running water and just stuff like that seems so every day, but when you try to do draw it really makes you think.

Do you have any particular artists that you are a fan of?

Jhonen Vasquez, the man who did “Invader Zim” and he does “Johnny the Homicidal Maniac” and there’s another one, what’s his name, he does an online comic called “Serenity Rose” — it is on heartshapedskull.com — but he does really funky stuff. I can’t think of anyone’s names. That’s awful. A lot of them are just screennames that I can’t even think of. If you were hoping to hear me list of really famous artists...

No, no, no.

OK, good because I don’t know any famous artist names. I know Van Gogh and all that stuff, but I could never look at their paintings and tell you who did what because I am terrible with that smart people knowledge.

Before you did this comic book/graphic novel for St. Pierre had you had any interest in doing that before?

Yes, I had. I found “Serenity Rose” a long time ago, a couple years ago, and that influenced me and I started doing comic books. I did my own kind of comics a while ago. When I heard we were going to do a graphic novel class at school I was like, “Oh my God, that’s awesome.”

What do you want to do when you are older?

Oh gosh, the ever famous ques-

A page from Emily Layne's graphic novel adaptation of Edgar Allen Poe's “The Cask of Amontillado.” (COURTESY OF EMILY LAYNE)

tion. I am not really sure actually. I want to go to art school and I want to do something with art. It might be doing comics and it might be doing signs for…anything. It doesn’t really matter. I just figured I’d find what I find.

Are there any particular graphic novels or comic books that you are really fond of?

The manga series, like mangas from Japan. I was always really fond of “Jing: King of Bandits” and “Gundam,” but they are all pretty much the same style. The stories,

I always enjoyed the stories, they were really cool. As far as American stuff would be concerned it would be the “Teen Titans” and most of the superhero stuff. I wasn’t ever really fond of just regular day-today life stories. Reading them is fine, but when they’re on paper you kind of want action when you’re looking at pictures. You want to see some blood and gore.

50-center of a week

BY TOM EASTMAN THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — We've said it before, but is there anything more beautiful than Mount Washington Valley the day after a powdery snowstorm?

After Tuesday and Wednesday's snow, Thursday with its blue skies and fresh glistening powda on the trees and trails was a top rated 50-center in anyone's book — as it was in the one that counts, the offi cial day's rating given by local cooperative weather observer Ed Bergeron on WMWV-FM's daily “Morning Weather Show.”

An avid skier and snowmobiler who is just back from a week of snowmobiling in West Yellowstone with two Berlin friends, Ed told WMWV's Gair MacKenzie Thursday that he initially took a nickel off for the predicted wind for the day, but then added the nickel back on because he knew it was going to be an exceptional day for snowsports lovers.

And right he was — with just about all local areas getting a foot or more of snow from the Groundhog Day storm Wednesday, Thursday was a 50-center, top of the charts.

The rating system was established by legendary late Appalachian Mountain Club huts manager Joe Dodge when he used to present the day's weather data from his West Side Road home's weather station to WBNC-AM. Everyone is supposed to put aside the day's rating into a bank account, with 50 cents being the top rating. As WMWV program manager Mark Johnson says today, it's an inflation proof system that has worked well over the years, with Briggs Bunker taking over after Joe's death in 1973 (now Ed Bergeron takes care of the duties when Briggs is on vacation, like he has been this winter down in snow-free Florida).

Acording to local legend, a new DJ at WMWV who hadn't been in the valley long in the 1980s went ahead and rated the day himself when Briggs was away.

The uninformed DJ said what the heck, it was so nice, why not rate the bluebird day a whole buck?

That led the phones at the station to literally light up, with one irate caller bellowing,“Look, pal, if 50 cents was good enough for the late, great Joe Dodge, it better be good enough for you, too!”

And thus a local custom was preserved.

Hearing someone at the local store over a cup of coffee saying “ain't this a 50-center of a day?” is a sure way to tell a local from a tourist.

May it always be so!

••• A SUPER RACE FOR SUPER BOWL WEEKEND: So, who's your pick, the Packers or the Steelers?

Our pick is to head out to the slopes Super Bowl Sunday, Feb. 6. The game, after all, doesn't air until 6:30 p.m. on FOX — giving locals plenty of time to ski and ride and get home in time to watch the game or to head to one of the many local establishments that will be hosting Super Bowl parties (see ads in this issue for the scoop).

For early Super Bowl Sunday, we'll be joining other racers for the 34th annual Race to Beat Cancer, to be held Sunday morning at Cranmore Mountain Resort.

Yours truly's entry will consist of five skiers, and will be known as Team Believe on account of my past eight months of facing my own challenge.

The event last year raised $15,000 for cancer research and local cancer patient services.

Kathy Metz , community organizer for the American Cancer Society event, says you may gather donations from friends and family and enjoy a fun-filled day on the slopes. All ages and abilities are welcome.

You may enter as a snowboarder or skier, for the NASTAR-formatted race, or you may take some timed turns down the snow tubing course.

Participants may register on the third floor of the Main Base Lodge the day of the race beginning at 8:30 a.m. A minimum of $75 per racer will be charged of adults and $50 for those aged 17 and under. Participants receive an all-day ski or tubing pass at Cranmore. Prizes will be awarded to first, second and third male and female skier/snowboarder in each category and for tubing.

In winter, mammal- and bird-spotting is less active but with the keen eyes of Albany-based Tin Mountain Conservation Center staffers and fellow nature-loving skiers it's possible to see the tracks of a snowshoe hare or a woodpecker high in a tree along with other glimpses into nature some best experienced with binoculars.

Tin Mountain's annual cross-country ski trip into the bog is a popular outing and some 25 people from a teenager to energetic retirees enjoyed schussing for a few hours last weekend on a relatively fl at volunteer snowmobile-dragged groomed trail into the forest before venturing out on the frozen desert-like landscape that in spring, summer and fall abounds with paddling opportunities in its ox-bow network.

As with any group trip with a curious bunch, bogcountry skiing can get a bit bogged down with a lot of stop and go as skiers of various abilities debate what left those tracks in the snow. Was it a bounder, a leaper, possibly a perfect walker? Prints, tracks, strides and leaping ability are all clues to what type of creature passed through and snow sleuths like to play trailside detectives.

"We saw a lot of fox tracks, a lot of coyote tracks, ermine, some fi sher tracks, possibly otter, snowshoe hare at the very end, a lot of small rodents and some squirrel," said education director Lori Jean Kinsey.

Armed with small tracking books and cards that helped them measure the tracks and identify them, skiers could take note of the habitat, size of the animal, and how they move to try and figure it out.

"Those are all clues," said Kinsey.

But not all sightings were in the snow. The odd sack-style nest of an oriole hung from one tree while pileated woodpeckers left behind their pockmarked dead tree excavations.

The most awe-inspiring sight came

during the bag lunch break on the bog's banks when a skier with binoculars announced he was looking at a pair of bald eagles. They were easily spotted from afar with the glasses.

Bogcountry skiing is loaded with learning. Skiers traveled by the brown and curled leaves still hanging from American beech, white oak and witch hazel. These stragglers are marcescent leaves that fall from strong winds or when buds push them off in spring.

The leaves don't form an abscission layer, a natural detachment of parts of a plant.

Though moose weren't seen, they were defi nitely in the neighborhood leaving behind scrapings on trees called moose barking.

"Moose will primarily go after red maple, occasionally birch and sugar maple," said executive director Michael Kline. "They have incisors only on the bottom of their jaw so they scrape and take these strips off. You can see the teeth marks. A lot of people think it must be a bear or a buck rub. Moose eat a lot of bark in the winter. You can see where they walk."

Brownfield Bog is something of a four-season classroom and playground for nature and outdoor lovers.

Kayakers paddle, snowshoers hike, bird-watchers scour the sky and hunters target waterfowl and more.

"Any wetland has a lot of available water all the time," said Kline. "It is so different in the winter because it is essentially a biological desert in the winter. The water is frozen up so it is interesting to look at these plants.

I love to see these plants up close because it is hard when you are in a kayak fl oating around. Here you can just ski up to the wetland plants and shrubs and look at them close."

From perched bald eagles to coyote tracks in the snow, one never knows what's out there while skiing Brownfield's bogcountry.

Sledding party at Chocorua Community Church Sunday A massive storm dumped between one and two feet of snow in our area.

It snowed for two days, making travel next to impossible with school and event cancellations on Tuesday and Wednesday. Fortunately, an ice storm which had wreaked havoc in other areas to our west was not a component of our event, so all we are left with is plenty of snow to remove.

There was a beautiful outpouring of love and support for the Rancourt family at Tin Mountain on Saturday at a memorial gathering to honor Joe Rancourt, son of Jay and Robbin, who died on Jan. 19 of natural causes. A sumptuous potluck banquet was provided by friends and neighbors. Those present represented all the stages of the 29 year old’s life, from early childhood to his professional life as a researcher into mental illness at Dartmouth Hitchcock hospital. Joe’s mom, Jay, movingly spoke about her son’s early childhood and the many surgeries he endured with great courage. She recalled amusing incidents during this period. Other family members and friends added poignant thoughts and memories. A group of Joe’s fellow students from Reed College in Oregon invoked memories of college days with Joe. Rev. Mary Edes sang, followed by the Pot Luck singers. Throughout, snow fell, a silent yet eloquent participant in the event.

You are invited to go to Joe’s memorial website at littlegorilla.net, read the beautiful comments and add your

own. Again, condolences to the Rancourt family and friends.

The Tamworth Outing Club sponsored sled dog races were held this last weekend on Chocorua Lake. I arrived early, donned cross country skis and skied over to the center of the lake where I could see the teams coming around the perimeter of the lake, silhouetted against Chocorua Mountain.

On shore, mushers cared for their teams and excited barks and yelps echoed across the lake. Meanwhile, the enticing aroma of broiled hamburgers wafted from the snack shack , as always manned by Brian Cutter. The story of the races goes back many years to Arthur Walden, of Wonalncet, who went to Alaska and found that running teams along the Yukon during the Klondike Gold rush was exciting and proďŹ table. He returned to Wonalancet in 1902 and began training sled dogs on his farm. In 1917 he put together a team with the well known Chinook, a St. Bernard cross, who became his lead dog. In 1928 Walden and Chinook accompanied Rear Admiral Richard Byrd on his South Pole expedition. In 1930, Walden sold his interests in the Wonalancet Kennel to Milton Seeley.

Later, Clara Read, mother of Nancy Coville, Helen Steel and Joanne Floyd, became the ďŹ rst local female dog racer. The tradition of dog racing began out of the desire for another winter activity to add to the skiing on Page Hill (where a rope tow was pow-

ered by a Ford Model A engine). Clara Read’s son in law, Stan Coville, has been heading up the races for about 55years. In addition to the Outing Club, the races are sponsored by the New England Sled Dog Club and this year by members of the Greater Ossipee Chamber of Commerce.

This coming Sunday, Feb. 6, all children are invited to a sledding party from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. behind the Chocorua Community church on Route 113, sponsored by the Children’s Ministry. Enjoy sledding down Tupper Hill, owned by Rev. Kent and Betty Schneider. Park on Route 113 or behind the church. For information call the Chocorua Community Church at 323-7186.

Library Connection

Re-enactor Jonathan Hively appears as Thomas Edison Monday Did you know that one of our nation’s greatest inventors loved this valley and visited often? The Conway Public Library was not yet built at that time, but on Monday, Feb. 7, at 7 p.m. Edison will fi nally grace our halls. He’ll demonstrate his more portable inventions, and talk about his family, his colleagues and rivals, and, of course, about himself. Jonathan Hively shares a life-long fascination with Edison in this historical interpretation of the famous inventor.

Dressed in period attire with a collection of restored items that were created by Edison, Hively allows audiences to feel they are listening to the man himself. Questions are encouraged throughout the lecture and often bring out stories that may not have been in the evening’s presentation.

The interpreter’s research and knowledge is so complete, he answers with aplomb. The program is free and open to the public.

DILBERT

by Darby Conley

By Holiday Mathis of fancy.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It’s not that others don’t appreciate you -- they do. They just don’t know how to show you. You have to make the effort to appreciate yourself, and that will teach them what to do.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You have a stronger idea about how a relationship should go, and it will take the other person a while to catch on.

And though your idea is brilliant, don’t push it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19 ).

There are things that are more important to you than your leisure time, though you’re not concerned with them now.

You’ll enjoy yourself on your own terms and protect your free time from all possible intruders.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You have mixed feelings about a business venture. If you don’t make a decision before the week is over, you will still be fi ne. But next week will ask you to choose sides.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). In order to hold on to your identity and lead life the way you want to, you will have to say no to someone. The fi rst time is always the hardest, and you are made stronger by the effort.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 4). You accept big changes as a challenge and will be graceful in your handling of them.

You take initiative in a relationship this month to great effect. You’ll be inspired by a new goal in March. In May, you’ll go against a trend and make money. July sees you expanding your personal property. Pisces and Sagittarius people think you’re amazing. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 1, 24, 38 and 27.

Get Fuzzy

HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19). The wise Greek dramatist Aeschylus noted that in war, truth is the first casualty. Today, you won’t exactly be doing battle, but you will have an opponent, and you should listen carefully to decipher truth from fiction.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You will enjoy working with others and will seek activities that put you in public favor. It’s not because you need to be liked, but because you already are liked and desire to build on that foundation now.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Small questions lead to deep answers. And yet, if you ask a question that seems impossibly deep and complicated in nature, you will likely get a very simple, practical reply.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Why does the one who is in charge seem to be very discombobulated? Perhaps it’s an act, or maybe this person really needs someone as organized as you to step up and be his or her right hand.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There is someone who makes a lot of noise in your life. It’s as though you’re on a long road trip with this person and he or she is the only one who has access to the radio dial. This will change soon, though.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You now have an incentive to fi nish your work quickly. You want to get it done so you can move on to a new area of interest.

This fresh new energy in your life is certainly making you more productive.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You would love to frolic with the free spirits in your midst, but you’re far too practical to leave your grounded place in reality today. You’re the stable infl uence that allows the others to go off on their flights

COLLEAGUES SUSPECT FORGETFUL CO-WORKER IS BATTLING DEMENTIA

DEAR ABBY: Everyone knows the economy has hit hard times and, as a result, more people are working past the age of retirement. This means some in the workplace are beginning to deal with Alzheimer’s and other dementia-related illnesses.

“Anita” is in her late 60s and we are certain she is showing symptoms of dementia. She has worked in our offi ce about three years, after working in this field for more than 30 years elsewhere. But if you saw her in our offi ce today, you would think it was her first week -- if not her first day.

Anita makes multiple mistakes every day, then sits at her desk and cries her eyes out. Our supervisor insists there is nothing he or HR can do in regards to talking (gently) to her because she could sue the company.

I’m sorry Anita is suffering, but must we let her deteriorate for three more years in our offi ce? That’s how long she is planning on staying, even though she’s eligible for retirement. Her family lives elsewhere in the state and may not realize she is ill. Were she my mother, I would want someone to do something. What’s the right thing to do for everyone involved? -- STUMPED IN CALIFORNIA DEAR STUMPED: I discussed your question with Nancy Bertrando, a respected California employment law specialist, who told me: “If a person is unable to perform the essential functions of her job -- regardless of the reason -- an employer does not have the obligation to keep the person in that position. However, regardless of whether your supervisor or HR thinks it is futile, Anita should be counseled and given the opportunity to fix the problem -- if, indeed, it is fixable.”

DEAR ABBY: My husband runs an auto body shop and has always warned me to be extra careful in parking lots --

“People don’t pay attention. They drive too fast. Everyone’s always in a hurry,” etc. Well, tomorrow I am going to the memorial service for a dear friend, “Mara.” She was only 46.

While Mara was putting her granddaughter into a stroller, they were hit. A woman driving too fast hit a car backing out of a parking space, careened off that car and ran over Mara.

Mara was pinned underneath the car until the fi re department arrived and lifted it off her. Mara’s daughter saw it all.

The 3-year-old is still in the hospital, but will survive.

I realize my friend died over a parking spot. I hope people reading this will see that we all need to slow down and pay attention. A car can be as lethal as a gun. I didn’t “get it” before, but now I do. Because of the reckless actions of a complete stranger, you can kiss your husband goodbye, go shopping and never return! I hope this nightmare can help others.

-- MISSING THE SISTER OF MY HEART DEAR MISSING: Please know how sorry I am about the tragic death of your friend. I cannot stress enough how important it is to remain fully present while behind the wheel of a vehicle. Our streets and highways are filled with distractions, as are our cars -- billboards, cell phones, stereo buttons, the GPS, etc. I am sure the woman who struck Mara and her grandchild will never get over the fact that she took one life and could have taken another.

Readers, I hope you will review this woman’s letter and remember it the next time you’re “in a hurry.” It could save a life.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: “How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.” -- Anne Frank

Silas Eastman wins the Sassi Memorial; Raiders fifth overall

IceCats net a win, top Westbrook 2-1

FRYEBURG — The SASSI Memorial nordic ski race, started in 1989, has steadily grown, and this year’s fi eld included almost 500 skiers. Despite the largest field in race history, the Fryeburg Academy boys’ nordic ski team turned in its best team and individual performances at the race.

Silas Eastman became the first Fryeburg Academy male to win the race, and the Raiders’ fifth place score of 85 was, in John Weston’s time as coach, the best team performance at this large, prestigious event.

Silas Eastman won the 5K classical race with a 15:22 time. Commenting both on the race and Eastman’s performance in general over the year, Weston said, “This is the fi rst time we have put a boy on the podium that I can recall. Joanna Kinsman won the girls’ race, but Silas is the first male from Fryeburg Academy to win the race. Silas just has a huge physiological engine. He has such good balance and all the tools necessary for success.”

The team score of 85 placed the Raiders fi fth overall, but first among Class A schools. It is the best team in Weston’s time as coach. The key to the team score according to Weston was the 13th place fi nish that Seth Eastman pulled off in 16:14, and the 14th place finish of Paul Kurnick, 16:17.

“Getting our number two and three skiers in the top 15 is as big a story as Silas winning the race,” Weston said. “This is necessary for good scores in big meets.”

Weston discussed Kurnick and Seth Eastman. “Seth is our

At the beginning of the year, Coach John Moran identified defense as an area where the Ice Cats would need to improve.

After some adjustments that included moving forwards back to defense, continued work on defensive skills and puck movement, the Cats may be playing their best defense of the year last week.

On Friday night in Bridgton, the Fryeburg Academy- Lake Region Ice Cats, led by goalie Tyler LeGoff’s 31 save effort,

leader. He motivates the team at practice and at the meets. The best thing you can say about Paul is he is a Kurnick. They have all had balance and coordination, and they know how to turn it on for a big race.”

Adam Armington, competing in just his second Nordic ski season, is the Raiders fourth and final scorer. He placed 62nd with a time of 17:55. Weston said of Armington, “We knew entering the season that our top three were strong and that our number four skier would hold the key.

Adam just keeps improving.”

The SASSI team results once again highlighted the strength of Western Maine Conference Nordic ski programs. With teams from all over the state entered, four of the top fi ve teams came from the conference. Yarmouth won the race with 50 points, NYA and Falmouth fi nished second and third with 71 and 71 points respectively. Caribou, the only team outside of the Western Maine Conference to fi nish in the top fi ve, edged Fryeburg for fourth place with 84 points.

The race gave the Raiders a sense of where they stand in Class A. All of the teams that fi nished ahead of the Raiders are class B or C, and they fi nished securely in fi rst place among the class A schools in the meet. The Raiders feel like they have placed themselves among the top A schools for the upcoming state meet.

“The boys were focused,” Weston said. “They know what was at stake. It was our first race against class A schools from around the state.”

held off Westbrook 2-1 and collected another win.

The scoring opened just 18 seconds into the game when Westbrook’s Alex Benson beat LeGoff to give the Blazes a 1-0 lead.

It was the last time Westbrook would find the net on the night.

Don Kellough answered the Westbrook goal for the Cats 5:31 into the game, and it remained tied 1-1 through the rest of the period and well into the second period. Michael LeGoff and Tyler Harnden assisted on the score.

At 12:55 of the second

period, the Ice Cats capitalized on a Westbrook penalty, and Tyler Hill found the net for a power-play score that would prove to be the winning goal. Harnden and Kellough, who were involved in both goals, assisted.

From this point forward it was Tyler LeGoff and the improved Ice Cats defense.

They held Westbrook scoreless despite some sound scoring opportunities.

The Ice Cats win brought them to 3-8. Westbrook fell to 2-10. They were on the ice again last night at Deering (results not known as of press time).
