Moving to the city, but clinging to old ways

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

Anchorage, ALASKA (NY Times) — Karen Cooke Phillip keeps the basement freezer of her new Anchorage house stocked with food to ward off homesickness.

There is a whole king eider sea duck, including feathers and head. And she has three plastic bottles filled with seal oil: liquid gold to a Yupik Eskimo like Mrs. Cooke Phillip. But the real prize is the spotted seal meat.

“We call it the prime rib of the sea,” she said.

Last year, Mrs. Cooke Phillip, 40, and her family left Kongiganak (population 439), their hometown near the Bering Sea, for a three-bedroom home in Alaska’s largest city.

They are among thousands of rural Alaskans who have moved to urban areas in the last decade, having decided their old life was too hard and too expensive.

“I was just sick of village survival,” she said.

They ultimately decided to forgo some family ties and join the exodus to Anchorage, a city that has grown by 12 percent, to 291,825, in the last decade. They have relatives, including her father, in town to help. And they appreciate being able to easily buy whatever one might need for a household. Still, getting used to city traffic will take time.

“Anchorage is great,” said Mrs. Cooke Phillip, “as long as you don’t have to drive.”

NATO expresses regret for airstrike

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

ZUEITINA, Libya (NY Times) — NATO acknowledged on Friday that its warplanes had hit a rebel convoy the day before, killing at least four people, and after some confusion eventually expressed regret for the accident.

At a news conference in Naples, where NATO has its operational headquarters, Rear Adm. Russell Harding, the British deputy commander of the air campaign, said the alliance had not been forewarned

— as the rebels’ commander, Gen. Abdul Fattah Younes, contended on Thursday — that the rebels were using tanks at the time the attack took place.

The military movements in the area where the attack took place were also “very fluid” at the time, he said, according to news reports, with vehicles going backward and forward.

“I am not apologizing,” he said of the incident, the second case of friendly-fire deaths

in a week. “The situation on the ground was extremely fluid and remains extremely fluid, and until yesterday we did not have information” that the rebels planned to deploy tanks.

But later the secretary general of NATO, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, expressed his remorse over the mix-up. “This is a very unfortunate incident,” he said at NATO headquarters in Brussels. “And I strongly regret the loss of life.”

Shutdown near, no Hero of Egypt’s revolution, sign of compromise military now faces critics

WASHINGTON (NY Times) — Negotiations to avert a federal government shutdown went down to the wire Friday, as a sense of crisis engulfed Capitol Hill and leaders of the House and Senate traded accusations about what was holding up a budget deal to keep federal agencies open after financing expires at midnight.

Yet even as Republicans and Democrats went before banks of television cameras to blame one another for the first lapse in government services brought on by Congress in 15 years, senior aides continued to negotiate over the sticking points.

Despite the disagreement over what still divided the two parties, it was clear that the dollar difference had shrunk to only about $1 billion or $2 billion, and that lawmakers would have a difficult time explaining to voters how most of the federal government could come to be closed over such a relatively small sum.

CAIRO — (NY Times) A blogger was jailed recently for “insulting the military.” Human rights advocates say that thousands of people have been arrested and tried before military courts in the last two months. Protesters have been tortured and female activists subjected to so-called virginity tests.

Fed up and angry with Egypt’s military rulers, tens of thousands of demonstrators turned out on Friday in Tahrir Square here for one of the largest demonstrations since the former president, Hosni

Mubarak, stepped down on Feb. 11. The protest was being called the “Friday of Warning.”

Since the military assumed direct control after Mr. Mubarak was forced from power, it has seen its standing as defender of the revolution called into question by actions that reflect the authoritarian tactics of the past rather than a blueprint for a democratic future, many here said.

“We don’t want a confrontation with the army but they have to understand that the people will

Journalist’s dad: Son will be released soon

BY MICHAEL COUSINEAU THE UNION LEADER

The father of a freelance journalist from New Hampshire captured by the Libyan military said Friday he’s hopeful his son and three other foreign journalists will be released safely.

John Foley learned his son, James, was being transferred to Tripoli after Gadhafi forces captured him and three other foreign journalists Tuesday.

The U.S. State Department “indicated he would be sequestered or placed in a hotel there in Tripoli where they put journalists and he apparently at some point and time will be giving us one phone call at home,” said Foley, who lives in Rochester.

James Foley, who grew up in Wolfeboro and graduated from Kingswood Regional High School, was rushing to the front lines to cover the rebel fight to oust Moammar Gadhafi when he was captured Tuesday.

“There’s no reason not to be hopeful,” his father said. “We haven’t heard any-

thing to be pessimistic or depressed.”

Last month, four New York Times journalists were released after being held for six days. They also were taken by the Libyan military to Tripoli prior to being let go.

“They’re being taken to Tripoli, where we think Jimmy will be better treated,” he said.

“I’m sure he’ll be detained for a while.

We don’t know how long,” he said.

Tripoli “was the relief point for the New York Times people, so we hope it will be the same for Jimmy,” he said.

“We’re certainly hopeful. Being the New York Times people were detained about six days, we’re in to this timeframe,” GlobalPost, for whom Foley was writing for, reported that the journalists were being held by the Libyan military and were expected to be taken to Tripoli and released but gave no timeframe.

In an e-mail to GlobalPost, former U.S. Rep. Curt Weldon, R-Pa., who is in Tripoli, said Gadhafi’s son, “Saadi, has assured me that he will personally act on their behalf immediately.”

$120,000 in pot seized in drug raid MANCHESTER — A local man is being held on $50,000 cash bail after a four-month undercover drug investigation that led to a search of his home and the recovery of $120,000 worth of marijuana and other drugs.

Lyle Pilch, 25, of 16 Harrington Ave., was pulled over Thursday and charged with disobeying a police officer, resisting arrest and three counts of possession of a narcotic drug. Police also seized cash, but the amount was not disclosed in a press

release issued by New Hampshire State Police, Narcotics & Investigations Unit.

After Pilch’s arrest, police searched his home and recovered more than 30 pounds of marijuana, with a street value of $120,000, cocaine, oxycodone, hydrocodone, suboxone and ecstasy.

As a result, he was charged with possession of a controlled drug with intent to distribute, and six counts of possession of a narcotic drug.

Tele-Talk What’s the most important vote you will cast on Tuesday?

Voting day is Tuesday in Conway. Dozens of town and school warrant articles will be voted on, and officers will be elected. There are numerous contested races, including a nine-person race for two selectman seats. The budget committee, which in recent years has had trouble filling vacancies, has more candidates than positions. One of the most talked-about issues heading into election day is the school budget. Voters at deliberative session restored an 11 percent cut by the budget committee, leaving a proposed $33.3 million budget that is up $800,000 over last year. If that budget is defeated, the default budget is even higher. On the town ballot, there is a request for funds for two more police officers.

Off the Wall The following are some of the comments posted on The Conway Daily Sun’s Facebook page this week: Why do you think there are so many people running for office this year in Conway?

“I think they are running because they don’t like how things are going and want to make changes. Perhaps they realize the right isn’t right.” — Ginger Sugar Blymyer “I hope the voters are now starting to wake up from a case of amnesia on just exactly who has stood up for the working Joe. So they think we have a spending problem?

Its called no jobs/no spending; no spending/no revenue.

After no revenue...the cycle continues its downward spiral. The budget committee makeup and their first-inthe-state 11 percent trickery also could be part of the reason more people are running.” — David Robinson The census numbers are in, and Conway’s population has crested 10,000.

“Time to move then. Gone are the days of Conway

being a small area.” — Ashleigh Nash “Now if only the average hourly pay would crest $8.50!” — Mike Fairbanks What characteristics do you look for in a candidate?

“We are talking politics, right? I’d vote for the person who is most likely to follow through with what they say.

That seems to be a very rare quality now a days.” — Jaime McKinnon Who’s going to get your vote for Conway selectman?

“Wish people would realize the government isn’t established for the good of the people. They got their own agenda. If they cared, we wouldn’t have the hungry, poor and homeless. We also wouldn’t be doing stuff like using nuclear power that destroys DNA because it’s cost efficient when we have a half dozen other ways of producing power.” — Todd Geer

NATIONAL PERSPECTIVE

Dreaming of Space It came as a shock to American intelligence officials, to the Kennedy administration — and to the original seven Project Mercury astronauts. Fifty years ago Tuesday the Soviet Union, which had trouble producing quality refrigerators or television sets for its own people, sent a man into space and returned him safely to Earth.

His name was Yuri Gagarin, a forgotten figure in most of the world today, and he did more than brush his shoulder against outer space, which is essentially what America’s first space veteran, Alan B. Shepard, did a month later in a 15-minute flight that took him 115 miles high. As he whistled strains of Shostakovich, Gagarin piloted his Vostok spacecraft beyond the bounds of the atmosphere, achieved Earth orbit and spent 108 minutes in space.

“We didn’t think they were as far along as they were, and we thought that whoever rode that first Redstone would be the first person in space,” John H. Glenn Jr., who with M. Scott Carpenter is one of the only two original American astronauts still alive, said in an interview this spring. “They had better boosters but we thought we were ahead.

When they announced Gagarin had gone around the Earth, it was a shock.”

The shock has worn off. Since then, more than 500 people have flown in space, men have stepped on the moon, and serious people speak of a mission to Mars within the lives of those now walking the Earth. But Gagarin’s feat, the culmination of the human species’ dream for generations, remains an important marker — and this week’s anniversary means that humans have been in space for a half century.

Space travel is hardly routine even now; two space-shuttle tragedies have underlined the danger of missions that seldom attract attention today. But it is difficult to remember the effect that the dawn of the Space Age had on the world in 1961, in part because it is hard in a world without bitter ideological superpower struggle to imagine the Cold War tensions that produced the space race.

In that atmosphere, the astronauts were both spacemen and symbols — emblems of American virtues and values, test pilots whose outlook married adventure, daring and technology. They were heroes of a sort that does not exist today. “They were revered and extolled,” Tom Wolfe wrote, “songs and poems were written about them, every reasonable comfort and honor was given them, and women and children and even grown men were moved to tears in their presence.”

These astronauts were supposed to be just like us even as they were different from us. Two Air Force doctors in a presentation to the American Psychiatric Association’s annual meeting in 1959 said that specialists had dismissed early worries that “extreme interest in high performance aircraft might be related to feelings of inadequacy in sexual and other areas.” Instead, they found that these volunteers for space flight had an unusually high tolerance of stress and “uncomplaining acceptance” of discomfort.

These men were given classroom, aircraft, weightlessness and survival training -- plus skin-diving instruction. They were outfitted in uniforms with an aluminized nylon covering that gave them a silver color and protection from the extreme heat of re-entry. Dressed for flight, the astronauts had 15 different zippers.

As the American astronauts trained, a parallel effort was under way in the Soviet Union. Indeed,

the Soviets indicated as early as 1951 that they were prepared to go into space, and as early as 1953 their specialists declared that Soviet science “had reached such a stage that the launching of a stratoplane to the moon” was a reasonable achievement.

The space race was constructed on the architecture of the Cold War; its assets, after all, were missiles, its pilots were military aviators and its computers had military origins or uses.

The touchstones of the space race were intertwined with the big events of the superpower struggle. As the East Germans finalized their secret plans for the Berlin Wall later in 1961, for example, the radio station Deutschlandsender distracted the East German public with a feature on cosmonaut Gherman Titov’s 17 orbits of the Earth.

The Soviet lead in space didn’t hold. With a series of dramatic rendezvous in space and technological advances, America’s Gemini and Apollo missions leaped ahead of the Soviets and, despite the death of three astronauts on a Cape Kennedy launch pad in 1967, reached lunar orbit and, soon afterward, the lunar surface. The space race produced upswells in pride and patriotism and introduced to a post-war generation the terms pitch and yaw.

They would remember them for the rest of their lives.

They would remember, too, the pure excitement of the endeavor and would yearn to recapture it even in the years of irony when modern technological achievement would rob spaceflight of its thrill and its novelty.

Sergei Krikalev, a Russian cosmonaut, spent nearly two and a quarter years in space, and another Russian, Anatoly Solovyev, spent nearly three and a half days in spacewalks over the course of 16 tries. Those achievements, inconceivable when the Space Age began, have produced a generation blase about the blast of a rocket into space.

Though great challenges — poverty, disease, environmental degradation — press on humankind, the fading of the space dream nonetheless worries national leaders, educators, philosophers, theologians — and astronauts.

“Unless people keep striving for things that excite them — that have a bit of a utopian vision to them — they will stagnate,” said Jay Apt, a Carnegie Mellon University physicist who has been on four space shuttle missions. “An endless source of that utopian energy can be found around our heads as we take the annual journey around the sun. There is no better way of stretching your imagination than ... reaching out to the night sky.”

One person who understands that is Franklin Chang-Diaz, one of only two men to have made seven trips into space. He was an 11-year-old in Costa Rica when the Space Age began with the Gagarin mission. Later he would have pictures of the Mercury astronauts on the walls of his room.

“I had been dreaming about someday becoming an astronaut,” he said in a phone interview from Costa Rica, where he operates a company making a plasma rocket that might one day cut a mission to Mars from six months to a month. “But of course in those days there were no astronauts, only heroes from science fiction. It was a time I wish we could recover.”

Please reconsider recreation decision To the editor: An open and humble request to the Conway Board of Selectmen: I have paid taxes to the town of Conway for years and years — on time — without ever a single complaint.

I am a resident and thus believe I am entitled to have my children enrolled in the Conway recreation activities. But I have no children living here — never once in all these years have I been able to benefit from any of the Conway recreation activities for youths — and never once in all these years have I complained about having to support them.

Rather than seek compensation for services paid for, but never used — I humbly request that any of my accrued entitlements be applied such that children of the Hall family could participate in the Conway recreation programs.

I don’t know the Halls, or their children, but will sleep much better nights knowing that a family who owns property and operates a business in Conway, and probably pays more taxes than I do to the town, receives the same

benefits as I — even if they happen to sleep in neighboring township.

Besides I’m a grandpa — eight times over — and feel strongly that it is important for kids to play with their classmates. Hate to think those Hall kids might go to school next week and tell their “used to be” friends that “I can’t play with you anymore because your grandpas won’t let me. They take my dad’s money so you can play, but they won’t let me play. I don’t think I should like you guys anymore.” (Parents and teachers trying to teach “justice have enough to explain to kids without having three grumpy old men adding to their problem, don’t you think?)

And a special request to Mr. Martin: It is not realistic to expect the Halls to move in order to have a voice in the town in which they pay taxes.

Please know that I, and a lot of other fair-minded grandpas do live here, love kids (they keep us young), and we vote.

And while old, we don’t forget.

Your prompt reconsideration on this matter would be most appreciated.

Donald Litchko Conway

What are we teaching our children?

To the editor: What in the world are the people in Conway thinking?

The Conway adults go to the school deliberative session and act like children at a bad sports game. The school department being the home team and the budget committee the away team.

Does the school department approve such name calling and angry shouting at games? What are we teach-

ing our children?

We hear all the time about bullying in schools. Isn’t that what is happening in Conway with all the name calling? I wonder where the children are learning their bullying instincts?

Let’s show our children how to get along with each other civilly and talk out our differences and compromise!

EDITORIAL

Candidates

They won’t all get your vote, nor our endorsement, but all 39 candidates running for Conway elected offices, the most in memory, deserve a hearty thank-you.

Running for office is a powerful act of civicmindedness and is proof of a vital and strong community. It is a quality that transcends issues or budgets, and should be recognized and remembered in these trying and difficult times.

For selectmen we endorse Bob Drinkhall and Mary Seavey.

Drinkhall, an incumbent, is about as far as one gets from a slap-on-the-back politician, but more than any other selectmen he drills the deepest into budgets. The board needs a spending hawk, and that’s him.

Seavey will give the business community a seat at the table. Selectmen have long been criticized for having an anti-business bent, and she will bring a receptiveness to the needs of businesses that is lacking.

Long-time selectman David Weathers is running to maintain his seat. He has served honorably for more than a decade, for which he deserves our gratitude. But times change, and the town will be better served if the board represents a wider constituency.

For school board we endorse John Skelton, Rick Breton and Janine McLauchlan.

Skelton is “pro-education” and “pro-school” in the sense he sees many opportunities to reform the system both academically and fiscally. We could not agree more.

Breton is an incumbent and has shown an aptitude to dig into the numbers, which we like, as well as his instinct to cut administration over programs.

McLauchlan is the chairman of the school board and the board’s representative to the budget committee. We disagree with her on most issues philosophically, but anyone who works as hard, and is as dedicated as she is, deserves a place on the board.

For four, three-year seats on the budget committee we endorse Betty Loynd, Bill Marvel, Brian Charles and Maury McKinney.

None of them are current members of the board, but all are smart, reasonable and motivated. They’re views are disparate, but their collective wisdom, experience and intelligence will add immeasurably to the quality of the board.

For two, two-year seats on the budget committee we endorse Ted Sares and Danielle Santuccio. Both are experienced and promise to be productive. The decision to support them is easy as the other two candidates are not viable. Bobby Strong took himself out of the race and Jason Fougere doesn’t seem interested as he was the only

candidate not to submit a candidate’s profile to this newspaper.

For two, one-year terms on the budget committee we endorse Maureen Seavey and Greydon Turner. Seavey is perhaps the most recognizable name of all candidates. She is totally level-headed, a former member of the budget committee and currently on the North Conway Water Precinct’s budget committee. Greydon Turner is a newly minted appointee of the budget committee but showed his commitment long before that by attending many budget meetings as a private citizen.

For one, three-year term for police commissioner we endorse Rodney King.

King was appointed last year to fill the seat vacated by long-time commissioner Bob Porter. The police commission is one of those elected bodies that goes mostly unnoticed. It is not covered by Valley Vision, and a reporter from the Sun is often the only person who attends its meetings, and then only sporadically. But based on our observations we believe King to be attentive to detail and has good ideas, like creating a capital reserve fund to replace equipment. Mark Porter, Bob Porter’s son, is also running, and while we commend him for running and have no reason to think he wouldn’t do a fine job, there’s not a compelling reason to replace King.

For library trustee we endorse Bill Marvel and Judith Seddon.

Seddon and Marvel are both incumbents and are dedicated to the effective use and maintenance of the library. Sarah Charles is very capable, but is viewed by many as an alternative to Marvel, who readers of the Sun know is outspoken and often controversial. Marvel, a professional historian and author of more than a dozen books on the Civil War has visited more libraries than most librarians ever will, and it would be a loss if he was replaced for his political views.

SCHOOL CONTRACT We don’t like the union, but we do like teachers, and after three years of working without one, it is to time for voters to give them a boost of confidence by supporting the contract. Approving the contract will cost taxpayers $147,000 in increase wages, but it will also save $455,000 on health insurance premiums because the deductible will change from zero to $500.

That the union considers it a concession to get off a zero deductible plan is insulting to the taxpayers who pay the bills and have no insurance, are underinsured or have deductibles that are in the thousands of dollars, but it is a start.

Too much at stake to trivialize differences with schoolyard insults To the editor: In a recently released statement, GOP House Majority Leader David Bettencourt characterized his earlier comments about Bishop John McCormack as “a shoot from the hip, heat of the moment comment that should have been more thought out.”

No doubt that’s true, but it’s hardly a sufficient excuse. All of us, Republicans and Democrats, elected officials and ordinary citizens,

need to stop demonizing those with whom we disagree.

If Rep. Bettencourt can’t carry Republican arguments without personalizing them, he should step aside for those who can — there’s too much at stake to trivialize our differences with schoolyard insults.

Are we providing a world class education?

To the editor: The Conway Daily Sun’s recent article on Mike DiGregorio’s strategy to avoid a court battle over the Conway School District’s operating budget, and the on-going debate over the education of our students once again raises questions regarding the effectiveness of the school district’s approach to its core mission — the provision of an education that prepares our students for success in the “school of hard knocks” adult world outside the Kennett campus.

Over the course of the last 10 years (a.k.a. the Nelson Era) the Conway School Board/administration have prepared and maintained unfettered control of both the operating and default budgets of the district. During this period, the average per annum increase in the budget has been 7.2 percent, which led to a doubling of the district’s budget. Has this truly significant increase in the budget resulted in a significant increase in the academic abilities of our students? More simply, are the taxpayers getting their monies worth?

Space considerations do not permit a full discussion of our students’ academic successes and failures, but a short quote from Dan Morgenstern’s Conway Daily Sun article of March 18, (Would George Orwell Please Call Conway, N.H.?) more than adequately summarizes my concerns: “Even simpler, Kennetteducated students score at or lower than their low scoring New Hampshire counterparts who score lower than the already low-scoring students in the United States.”

This does not strike me as providing a world class education to our students, what say you? Rest assured, however, that the parents and grandparents of our students have little to fear, for our students have great self-esteem, and to quote the Kennett principal “great morale.” However, our students, with their great morale and high self esteem, cannot compete academically with students from such world class states as Hungary, Estonia and Bulgaria. I call such results the “dumbing down of America.”

Could it be that our current educational process is not providing our students with the tools necessary to compete successfully, or is it due primarily to failures outside of our educational system? Where do you believe responsibility lies?

The education lobby, faced with such questions, routinely answers that the problem can be successfully addressed by provision of more resources, smaller

classroom size, and other steps designed to alleviate the” heavy workload of the teaching professionals.”

Such arguments have been in vogue since at least 1983, when “A Nation at Risk” was released, detailing the failures of the United States educational system. Clearly, following the education lobby’s game plan has not resulted in significant academic proficiency improvements, which is the essential task of the district.

The education lobbyists, doing business locally as the “Mount Washington Valley Coalition for Educational Excellence,” recommends that the voters defeat the school board’s recommended budget, approved overwhelmingly by these same voters at the deliberative session. This tells me two things — first, that the members of the coalition are belatedly concerned that they have overplayed their hand by voting to ignore the 10 percent rule of the applicable NH RSA, that they are now “afraid” that their action is going to have negative unintended consequences.

Secondly, that the coalition’s concern is not about “educational excellence” but to ensure the continuation of the failed “throw money at the problem” approach that has been followed in the valley for the past decade.

How does the coalition explain the success of private and charter schools, often at less cost per student, compared to the “standard government” model? Could such success be brought to our community, and are the current leaders of our school district up to the task? None of us have all the answers to these questions, but they have to be asked. We have to start the process of questioning the very rationales under which the system has been allowed to operate if we are to truly give our students the tools necessary for success in the future.

That questioning must start now, continue with your vote on April 12, and requires continual citizen involvement and effective oversight of school operations. I encourage voters to support candidates for the budget committee that have clearly demonstrated their concern for educational improvement and affordability, such as Bill Marvel, Linda Teagan, Terry McCarthy and Theresa Gallagher. Please send a loud and clear message to those who desire to eliminate the last check and balance to the education lobby, and vote for a truly independent Conway Municipal Budget Committee.

LETTERS

I will bring an attitude of hard work and a listening ear

Rethink human values: Humanity and dignity

To the voters of Conway: About 10 years ago, you elected me, Stacy Sand, to the Conway planning board. I was a virtual unknown to the voters, but after being elected, I was recognized wherever I went and thanked for my “hard work” and “level head” on what, at the time, was a reactionary and confrontational board.

Now I am running for Conway selectman, and I will bring that same attitude of hard work and a listening ear this board. And from this work

To the editor: Much has been written about the rude behavior at the school district deliberative meeting two weeks ago and the distasteful pun in the April Fool’s edition of The Conway Daily Sun. The underlining issue that I want to address is the “N” word that was used to attack Ray Shakir. This word has crept back into our language to belittle and put down people due to their political viewpoints.

I don’t care if a person is conservative or liberal; that word should never be used to belittle and silence another’s viewpoint. It also has emerged in our national debates and it must stop.

My name is Jim Gallagher and I grew up in the city of Bayonne, N.J. in the 1950s where the population was around 75,000. Due to the beautiful mixing pot of cultures in that town, there were many different nationalities, and we all lived and socialized together in civil ways. People came there from Europe to escape the terror of the Nazis in Germany. The first survivor of the Holocaust whom I met was an elderly gentlemen. He performed light cleaning work at a yacht club on Newark Bay. It always struck me strange that this gentleman would wear a long sleeve shirt on the hottest days. One day while we were sitting on the porch with him playing a game, he reached down to pick up a card and I saw the number that the Nazis branded on his arm. Yes, branded, like an animal. Only because he was Jewish.

During high school and in the work world I met many survivors. None of them spoke of their time in hell, only their families did. When the movie “Schindlers List” was produced, many of them began to speak out. I was so disgusted with the thought that a human being could actually do such evil to a group of people, just because they believed in praying to God in their own way. I had to do something. I wanted to make sure that they were never forgotten, and it would never happen again. I

and input, I will bring ideas and solutions to the issues affecting our town.

Conway is the hub of the Mount Washington Valley. Most of us live, work, or own property or businesses here and so the decisions made by the board of Selectmen are important beyond just the residents of our town.

I ask for your vote, so that together we can do good things for this town and this valley that we value and love.

Stacy Sand Conway

Drinkhall consistently advocates for fiscal responsibility To the editor: Bob Drinkhall is seeking a second term as selectman for the town.

I’ve gotten to know Bob as the selectman representative on the budget committee. He represents the kind of common sense public official this town sorely needs. He does his homework well, is keenly aware of the difficult financial times the state, town and Conway residents are facing. Bob has consistently been an advocate for fiscal responsibility at all levels of town government. He is performance-oriented and he’ll ask some pretty tough questions when digging for solutions to a given problem.

Bob has been to every school board meeting that I’ve been to and probably

a lot more. I’ve seen Bob take on problems that were politically unpopular and work through the process defining what we need vs. what we want and come up with a decent solution for everyone involved.

I’ll bet you didn’t know he personally returned to the town part of the $3,000 stipend which selectmen receive for sitting on the hot seat!

In my opinion, Bob is a rare individual who consistently works diligently for us all. He is not the kind of individual who will say “do as I say, not as I do”. If we are asked to tighten our belts, he will too and that is the kind of a person I want as a selectman! He has my vote and I hope yours too!

Bill Masters Conway

I believe the teachers union is part of the problem To the editor: Unfortunately this is becoming a pattern. It seems every week Bill Marvel writes a column that makes a statement or inference about the Mount Washington Valley Coalition for Educational Excellence that is incorrect. I am an active member of the coalition. I am getting tired of his inaccuracies. This time he aligns us with the teachers union. Am I a friend of the teachers union? Well it’s clear you don’t know me. I believe the teachers union is part of the problem not part of the solution. Do I support the teachers? Yes I do. That we have some of the lowest paid teachers in the state is an embarrassment. It is also counter productive.

Because of my concerns I recently spent about an hour and a half with Neal Moylan, Kennett’s principal, discussing a number of issues. I believe he has the vision, that he is taking the school in the right direction. On his invitation, today, April 5, I spent the day in classes at Kennett. I went to all levels and all grades at the school. I talked to the teachers. I observed the classes. I have to say I was impressed.

The modern high school is not the school I went to, or the school any of its detractors went to. Modern education has to prepare our children to compete against the best not in New Hampshire or the United States but in the world. I saw students at all levels of the spectrum. I saw a cross section of motivated and motivational teachers who addressed the needs of their students. I saw dedication to a lofty goal of education.

For those who say, “we just need to teach them the three “R’s”, you need to realize the world you so fondly remem-

ber doesn’t exist anymore. I sat in on a statistics class that left me speechless (which as my wife will say is hard to do) and impressed with the seeming ease the class navigated difficult mathematical computation guided by a teacher who engaged and challenged an obviously gifted group. To survive in this day and age our children will need a much greater skill set than any of us could ever have dreamed of a few years ago. I believe the school is trying to provide our children with the tools that they need. Is it where we need to be? I don’t believe it is. Is it moving in the right direction? Yes I do believe it is. It was a shock to me to find out that no members of the school board had ever spent a day at the school as I had.

Only one other member of our community has stepped up and taken the time to see for themselves by spending a day in our high school.

Bill Marvel was again completely incorrect when he inferred that the coalition hoped for a low voter turn out.

We are encouraging a higher participation level at all levels of the process: school committee meeting, budget committee meetings, voting. We are not trying to just bring out the like minded. We want everyone to participate. I keep going back to the words of Eldridge Cleaver “What we’re saying today is that you’re either part of the solution or you’re part of the problem”.

So Bill if you have the fortitude, come to one of our meetings, (this invitation goes to everyone) bring your ideas.

If we work together as a community we can help the schools of our valley become what they are capable of for our children and for our future.

Joe Lentini Conway

was one of the initial contributors to the National Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C. Fast forward to September 2005.

My wife, Theresa Ann, and I travel to Poland to visit her family home land.

While we were in Krakow we visited a remaining part of the ghetto wall that the Nazis used to retain the Jewish people. It was horrifying. They were penned like animals and not allowed to wonder out of the area. We also found and visited Oskar Schindlers factory, and climbed the stairs and signed the remembrance book on his desk.

The next day, we took a bus trip to the town of Oswiecim. It was bright and sunny when we left Krakow, but when we reached the town of Oswiecem, and entered the death camp of Auschwitz, the sky was slate gray and no birds or animals or any living creature was in sight. The atmosphere was haunting and permeated with death. It was shocking and horrifying to see what the Nazis did to those innocent human beings. To hear the “N” word being used so thoughtlessly and carelessly displays the lack of intelligence and education of some people who live in this area. How many people from this town saw the recent production of “Diary of Ann Frank” at a local theatre? It would make you cringe to see how the Nazis put one innocent family through hell.

I strongly suggest that people educate themselves in words that they use to politically silence another person. Ray Shakir has worked hard as a volunteer on the budget committee. He is a good person, generous and kind to those around him. Disagreeing is part of the normal procedure of public discussion, but please be civil and don’t curse. Let’s learn to respect each other, act intelligently and rethink human values such as humanity and dignity.

God Bless us all.

Tourism bolsters local economy and small business To the editor: I would like to respond to candidate for selectman Michael Boucher’s comment “We need to bring businesses back into town, get rid of the tourists.”

Fueled by visitors’ spending, tourism supports jobs for Conway residents, bolsters our local economy and small business, supports improved infrastructure, and contributes tax revenue for our local government. If residents in our local community and local government are not aware of the importance of tourism, they can hardly be criticized for not supporting it. However, from my perspective, which goes back to the 1950s, the economy of Conway has always been positively impacted by the tourism industry and I have been a long-time advocate for the tourism industry.

Significance of tourism: • Tourism spending has a multiplier effect in the local economy as it is spent and re-spent by employers and employees.

• Tourism is a labor intensive industry that provides many full-time and part-time employment opportunities in Conway, across a range of skill areas.

In addition employers and employees in the tourism industry: • Own homes and pay property taxes.

• Buy heating fuel from local distrib-

utors.

• Purchase water from our town.

• Many have garbage service by locally-owned businesses.

• Buy groceries at locally-owned markets and convenience stores.

• Purchase gas at locally-owned businesses.

• Support our local retail businesses • Eat in locally-owned businesses.

• Use local lawyers, accountants, and investment brokers.

• Hire local contractors to do home repairs, house painting, plumbing, etc.

• Support our local daycare centers.

• Frequent our local libraries and parks.

• Volunteer at local non-profits.

• Belong to service groups that donate to local organizations and local charities.

• And the list goes on!

There are also social benefits to the tourism industry: • Community identity and pride can be generated through tourism.

• A positive sense of community can be reinforced.

• Tourism can encourage our local community to maintain its traditions, pride and identity.

School budget complex, could end in legal battle Voter check in at least year’s election. This year’s ballot is crowded with candidates making for an interesting election. (JAMIE GEMMITI PHOTO)

BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — In an ironic twist, school supporters could choose to vote down the school budget when they go to the polls on Tuesday.

A movement is afoot to have people vote against the budget in favor of the default budget, which is some $190,000 more than the $3.3 million the Conway School Board is proposing.

Selectman Michael DiGregorio and the Mount Washington Valley Coalition for Educational Excellence both this week came out against the school budget, urging citizens to vote no. They believe this may be the best avenue to avoid a legal battle.

"My intent is to vote no on the

budget on April 12 in hopes that we get to the default budget," DiGregorio said. "I know there are other people who plan to do that in hopes that we end up out of the court system. I'm pretty sure that's what will happen if the proposed budget passes and the (New Hampshire Department of Revenue Administration) starts cutting.

"As a selectman of the town," he continued, "I have no intention of putting one entity up against another one. The only ones who are going to win there are the lawyers. No one can answer the question whether it will be a legal battle between the school and the DRA attorneys or the school and the budget committee, which would be the selectmen who have to determine if they'll defend it. I for one don't want to fight another entity in town. We'd

be paying twice."

The budget committee cut the school’s budget by 11 percent in February, but school supporters put every cent back in March 9. According to New Hampshire Department of Revenue Administration rules, voters are allowed to modify the budget committee’s recommendation by up to 10 percent at the deliberative meeting. The voters put in all they could, and more.

“There’s nothing illegal about that motion, it’s just risky,” said Peter Malia, the town’s attorney, following the meeting. “The potential exists for the DRA to shave off the difference.”

To “shave off the difference,” he said, the DRA would begin with the last warrant article and work its way backward until the school budget is within 10 percent of the budget com-

mittee’s recommendation. The three unions' negotiated warrant articles would be spared from cuts.

And even if the voters reject the proposed budget in favor of the default, Malia said, there is a chance the DRA will still hold the school to 10 percent of the budget committee’s recommendation.

“It will sort of be a first for the DRA,” he said, since no one has ever exceeded the 10 percent limit, either in a proposed or default budget.

The proposed school budget is $33.3 million — $3.6 million more than what the budget committee had recommended.

The default budget, normally a fallback option that limits spending, is $190,473 more than the proposed budget this year. see next page

The school board met behind closed doors for over an hour March 14 and later announced it had decided at that time not to challenge the budget committee's 11 percent reduction in court.

"At this point the school board just wants to move ahead and go to the vote April 12 and see what happens," school superintendent Carl Nelson said March 15. "That's where things stand now but this situation is an ever-changing one. The board has decided to see what happens and what the DRA decides."

Two weeks ago Nelson explained the board needs to make contingency plans in case the DRA rules to cut the budget. He and administrators came out with a list of recommended cuts that came in at $1.3 million and presented them to the school board last week.

"The board has to make provisions within the budget in the event that as the governor has stated that the state will no longer continue to contribute 35 percent to the state retirement fund," Nelson said. "In Conway's case that equates to $428,000 (for this upcoming year). I don't think it will happen, but just as we did in Bartlett last week, we have to make provisions to send funding to the retirement system.

"The other piece is if the DRA imposes the 10 percent rule, which I believe it will, and start eating up warrant articles until it gets to the budget, totaling $829,000," he contin-

ued. "The board does have some possible challenge options along the way.

Attorney (John) Teague has raised the issue of did the budget committee do its work properly."

Nelson said the DRA could rule that the default budget may be subject to a 10 percent cut, too. "That's the big unknown," he said. "It's never happened before in the state."

Nelson also explained the school board is facing an April 15 deadline.

"We have to have everything done by that date because we are contractually obligated to notify employees of non-renewals by then," he said.

Under the $1.3 million cut, Nelson said there would be personnel cuts.

On Thursday he said 70 employees within the district received "Reduction In Force" pink slips.

Under the school policy, the newest members of staff and teachers would be the first ones to be let go. Should a teaching position be cut, if the teacher who holds that spot has seniority over another teacher, the newer one could be bumped out of a job.

The $1.3 cuts proposed by the administrators March 24 were: Special education — $298,303: $117,779 for two special education teachers; $56,775 in special education contracted services/consulting; $50,522 in aides; $41,533 for a speech assistant; $28,360 in books/supplies/ equipment; and $3,334 in field trips.

Kennett High School — total $244,945: $57,504 in aides; $42,001 for a reading teacher; $33,300 for an art teacher; $32,443 in custodian/

maintenance; $29,275 for a half time computer teacher; $25,900 in books/ supplies/equipment; $8,000 in special education/contracted services; $6,231 in field trips; $6,000 in maintenance supplies/equipment; and $4,309 in freshman team leaders.

Kennett Middle School — total $220,390: $220,390 in four teachers, reducing from four to three teams.

Conway Elementary School — $113,233: $35,632 in books/supplies/ equipment; $20,000 in rotating maintenance fund; $20,998 in custodian/ maintenance; $14,278 in elementary

music teacher; $5,000 in substitutes; $3,900 in maintenance supplies/ equipment; $2,500 for Summer of Learning; $2,275 in conferences/staff development/curriculum; $2,000 Tin Mountain; $2,000 feudal trips; $2,000 maintenance summer painting; and $650 in maintenance contracted services.

Pine Tree School — $113,617: $20,760 in books/supplies/equipment; $20,000 in rotating maintenance fund; $16,000 in custodian/maintenance; see next page

Teachers’ contract back on the ballot; union hopes third time is the charm Page 16 — THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Saturday, April 9, 2011

BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — Educators are hoping that history will not repeat itself Tuesday on voting day. A year ago, a proposed teachers' contract failed by just five votes, leaving teachers within the Conway School District without a contract for the third year in a row.

Article No. 7 on the school warrant is for a one-year collective bargaining agreement between the school board and the Conway Education Association (teachers) for the 2011-12 school year to fund employee salaries and benefits for $147,419.

Last year the contract figure was for $255,436 and it failed by five votes.

A recount proved the Conway voting machines spot on as the five-vote

from preceding page

$15,275 for a reading teacher; $14,500 in aides; $14,278 in elementary music teacher; $4,605 in maintenance supplies/equipment; $2,149 in maintenance summer painting; $2,000 in Tin Mountain; $1,700 in conferences/staff development; $1,250 in field trips; and $1,100 in maintenance supplies equipment.

John Fuller School — $109,226: $35,000 in aides; $20,000 in rotating maintenance fund; $19,700 in custodian/maintenance; $14,278 in elementary music teacher; $11,250 in books/ supplies/equipment; $2,498 in field trips; $2,000 in Tin Mountain; $2,000 in maintenance summer painting; $1,500 in conferences/staff development; and $1,000 in maintenance supplies/equipment.

Unit 10 (district-wide) — $86,847: $47,473 in custodians/maintenance; $37,100 in school board services, legal,

margin was upheld.

The teachers' union is currently working under the terms of the 200809 agreement.

The school board and the teachers' union agreed in January to ratify a proposed contract for the 2011-12 school year.

Key to the agreement may have been movement on health insurance with the teachers' union agreeing to switch from a zero deductible to a district-covered $500 health-insurance deductible. The move will not only save taxpayers an estimated $345,000 in health insurance costs (although there is an overall increase in health costs due to a jump in premium rates), but the teachers are also expected to save on their insurance premiums.

The teachers' union is heading into

a third year without a new contract.

Last April, the contract failed at the polls by just five votes. It, too, had the teachers agreeing to switch to a district-covered deductible. The estimated cost of that bargained package was $355,436 for the 2010-11 school year. The new tentative agreement has an estimated cost of $147,419.

The school board is bracing for a 14 percent increase in health insurance this coming year, representing an increase in the neighborhood of $700,000.

The contract, if approved by voters Tuesday, would run from July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012.

"The key elements in this contract include a change in the current health plan to a $500 HMO Low; there is a $15 co-pay on doctors' visits and prescrip-

tion drugs will range from $0-$30-$50, which the board will continue to make 80 percent of the contribution toward the premium," the school board and union stated in a joint release.

"The district will also offer an IRS Code Section 125 Plan for medical expenses effective July 1, 2011. Under this plan, the district will provide reimbursement as follows: employee only, up to $500 per contract year; employee plus one, up to $1,000 per contract year; and employee plus two or more, up to $1,500 per contract year."

The district has also developed a $9,000 pool for reimbursement to unit members who experience more than one $500 deductible. It was a $25,000 pool in last year's failed contract.

printing, NH School Board Association dues; $30,036 in staff development coordinator; $17,000 in conferences/staff development; and $9,338 in mentors.

MWV Career and Technical Center — $46,372: $46,372 in guidance.

Technology — $31,186: $31,186 for a computer technician.

"The goal is to make sure students don't lose out on programs they value," Janine McLauchlan, board chairman, said as she opened the meeting explaining possible scenarios if the DRA rules cuts must be made.

"If (the DRA mandates a cut) we would most likely challenge their ruling," she continued. "We have not given up our right to legal action against the budget committee because it wasn't necessary at this time."

McLauchlan said the board could challenge the DRA if DRA rules against the board, and it may be up to New Hampshire Supreme Court to settle the matter. To date, through

February, the board had spent between $6,000 and $7,000 in legal fees. A challenge to the DRA ruling could be another $12,000 to $20,000 while if the board pursued the matter to the Supreme Court it would possibly be an additional $10,000.

"It could cost us between $37,000 to $40,000 to challenge and hopefully prevail," McLauchlan said. "We fully support the budget we have put forward."

The school board differed on a few of the administrators' proposed cuts and ultimately returned $209,000 to the list through $42,834 in music for the elementary schools; $57,276 for reading at all levels; $60,000 in a revolving maintenance fund for the elementary schools; $47,473 for a maintenance person; and $1,500 for transportation for the junior ski program.

Board member Rick Breton proposed the bulk of the additions.

Elementary music; reading; the maintenance employee and revolving

maintenance were all approved while attempts to add back a hall monitor for $38,708 and a custodian for $2,443 both fell a vote shy of support.

Breton also outlined possible areas to cut $310,710, but none were taken.

They included $120,900 for the dean of students and the assistant position; $47,544 for a 15 percent reduction in co-curricular; $14,406 for a 15 percent reduction in co-curricular at the middle school; $83,529 by reducing the number of librarians for the three middle schools from three to 1.5.; and $44,331 in an elementary guidance counselor.

"I want to thank all of the administrators for coming forward with all the cuts, you've done a great job," Breton said. "Unfortunately, I don't agree with all of them. I couldn't believe that reading was actually on here. The same with the elementary music. My biggest goal is to limit any loss of curriculum."

The Conway Education Association's negotiating team was chief negotiator Rebecca Hill, a science teacher at Kennett High; Kimberly Mathison, sixth-grade teacher at Conway Elementary; Chris Bailey, history teacher at Kennett High; and middle school science teacher Sean Littlefield.

The two sides went through 14 hours of professional mediation in November and December before brokering this agreement.

The estimated annual savings to the district over the previous health insurance plan is in excess of $345,000. The savings to the employees will be $361 for a single; $723 for a two-person; and $976 for a family.

The projected savings in last year's plan were $279 for a single; $557 for a two-person plan; and $763 for a family plan.

The agreement also calls for a negotiated cost-of-living allowance increase of 2 percent and performance pay as follows: unsatisfactory and basic will receive no money while proficient/distinguished receive $600.

Last year's failed contract called for a cost-of-living increase of 2.5 percent for all employees, while there was also an increase in performance pay with $0 for unsatisfactory performance; $250 for basic level; and $850 for proficient level.

The new contract provides a hiring schedule which starts at $29,000 for a bachelor's degree, Step I. In the failed contract last year, the starting salary would have been $30,000.

In addition, the agreement provides more flexibility in the starting dates for the school year.

This line was also included in the failed contract last spring.

The school board voted 5-1-1 to bring the agreement forward with Randy Davison abstaining since is wife is a teacher within the district. Dick Klement, who served on the school board's negotiating team, voted against the contract.

Money for two more police officers and new garage roof top town ballot

BY ERIK EISELE THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — In addition to ratifying the town’s $9 million budget on Tuesday, voters have to decide if they are willing to pay for two new police officers and a new roof for the town garage.

The town’s proposed operating budget is unlikely to see much opposition considering it’s almost $45,000 less than the default budget, which would go into effect if voters reject the proposed request.

The police department’s request for more additional officers, however, is less of a sure thing.

The department has been arguing for months that it needs three more officers. The voters put the funding in

from preceding page

to $29,000 from $27,600. While this is a good first step the CEA would have liked to see starting salaries in a more competitive range, above $30,000, in order to attract highly qualified teachers. Conway is still at the very bottom in terms of starting salaries and we hope the school board will continue to increase this in years to come. Both the CEA and CSB were at $30,000 during negotiations but the school board team backed away from that due to an unwillingness to fund it. Their proposal would have essentially given teachers not even hired yet around a 10 percent raise and veteran teachers 1 to 2 percent. After two years without a contract we did not feel we could accept such a small increase in salary that would have been based upon a teacher's performance. Increasing salaries overall is another way to retain qualified teachers as Conway is also well below average in teacher salaries."

The school board contends it has sought starting teacher pay at $30,000 each of the past two years and claims the union balked at that amount this time because the union sought to compensate longer serving staff.

Finney wished Klement had supported the agreement.

"I was disappointed one member of the school board negotiating team

for one officer at the town deliberative meeting, but the other two are on a separate warrant article. Voters will have the opportunity to give those two officers the thumbs up or thumbs down without otherwise affecting the department budget.

The new officer in the operating budget will cost about $37,000 this year. The two extra officers will cost the town an extra $75,000. The department wouldn’t hire anyone until July 1, so the appropriation for this year would only represent half of the cost of salary and benefits.

The full cost of the one officer already in the budget, $75,000, is going have to get rolled into next year’s operating budget. That cost will triple if the article passes on Tuesday. see next page

could not support an agreement he worked many hours to reach," Finney said. "He stated he could not support a contract with a salary increase. That statement is a little misleading in that no teacher gets an automatic raise in the district. With our merit pay system, all increases in salary are based upon a teacher's performance as evaluated by their administrator. If a teacher does not perform in the proficient-or-above category, they do not receive merit pay.

The last two years have seen teachers continuing to be evaluated but receiving no salary increase based upon their performance. The small increase negotiated in this agreement is a good step forward to keeping teachers here, addressing a concern voiced by many community members and parents over the past year."

"Again," he continued, "I would like to thank both negotiating teams.

Their hard work has brought forth an agreement that is fair and cost-effective for taxpayers in terms of savings generated by the change in health insurance and a small increase in starting salaries. I would also like to thank community members and parents who have supported teachers in the valley and who have come out to speak at board meetings, write letters, or make phone calls. Your support is always appreciated and we ask that you continue to support teachers and the students of the valley."

The department budget is up 7 percent over last year, from $2.6 million to $2.8 million. If the warrant for additional officers passes, the police operating budget will likely surpass $3 million next year.

“We certainly understand the economic times we’re in,” police chief Ed Wagner said, but the department needs to grow to keep the community safe.

The article concerning the town garage, meanwhile, is projected to lead to lower costs for the town and taxpayers over time.

The town is looking for $230,000 to replace the roof, install new windows and insulate the town garage, which had just over $210,000 in

other work done.

The town already replaced the floor, redid the electrical system, updated the heating and ventilation systems, painted the building, improved the drainage, patched surrounding pavement and brought the building up to safety standards. The roof, windows and insulation are the final pieces of the renovation.

Insulating the building and putting up a metal roof will drastically reduce heating costs, according to town engineer Paul DegliAngeli. The resulting savings would likely pay for the improvement in 15 to 20 years, he said, possibly sooner if the price of oil continues to skyrocket.

Estimates late last year were the town would save between $7,000 and $10,000 a year in fuel costs if

the next phase of upgrades happens, but that was before the latest spike in oil prices.

The spike in oil prices was part of what pushed the town operating budget up from the selectmen’s original request of $8.8 million to just shy of $9 million. Residents voted to add $82,210 to the budget to keep the transfer station open on Sundays and to cover rising diesel and heating costs, and to add $97,300 to cover the extra police officer and police department insurance changes, gasoline and heating oil expenses.

Those increases pushed the proposed budget up $69,656 over what it was in 2010.

“It’s right sad,” selectman Crow Dickinson said. “We agonize about stuff. We’re constantly trying to shave

here and shave there,” but ultimately the voters looking for savings didn’t come to the deliberative meeting.

“We worked so hard for so long to make ends meet,” selectman Larry Martin said, “and so few put it all back in.”

The default budget, however, being $44,683 more than the proposed budget, is unlikely to get support from anybody, particularly people worried about their property taxes.

The default budget is usually less than the proposed budget, but because selectmen initially cut the budget this year instead of increased it, the fallback budget is the larger number.

“It’s scary there is only a small difference,” Martin said. “There is no real alternative.” erik@conwaydailysun.com

Several key races to be decided Page 20 — THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Saturday, April 9, 2011

BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — Even though a few have dropped out, there are still lots of candidates and many contested races for school and town offices.

Because state law forbids full-time employees of the town or the school system from serving on the budget committee, two candidates for the Conway Budget Committee — Steven Bush and Bobby Strong —are withdrawing their candidacies although their names remain on Tuesday's ballot.

Bush also announced he is withdrawing from the race for selectman, even though it is not a conflict of interest as defined by the state.

"I'm not pursuing the selectman's seat at this time," Bush said by phone. "The timing is just not right for me now."

There are three three-year seats on the school board. Janine McLauchlan and Rick Breton are the incumbents while Alana Starkey was appointed last

summer to fill out the remainder of Kelley Murphy's term on the board. Melissa Stacey, former chair of the budget committee, joined the race along with former Kennett High teacher and coach John Skelton.

There are 11 candidates for two three-year terms on the board of selectman but only nine are still campaigning. after Daniel Bacon and Bush withdrew. Still in the race are Harley M. Lowd, Wayne Brett, Syndi White, Scott Lees, Stacy Sand, Mary Carey Seavey and Michael Boucher and incumbents Bob Drinkhall and David Weather.

Drinkhall is seeking a second term on the board while Weathers has served 10 years.

Selectman is not the only position in town attracting considerable interest. The municipal budget committee, which has had as many as 10 vacancies over the past year and often struggled to maintain a quorum, has attracted record numbers for its eight openings.

Valley Vision to air school board candidate forum

BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — A school board candidate — John Skelton — wants the public to have an opportunity to learn as much as possible about those seeking office Tuesday. He's enlisted Valley Vision (Channel 3) to air a candidate special that was taped Friday and will run six times prior to Tuesday's vote.

Skelton, along with incumbents Rick Breton and Janine McLauchlan and Alana Starkey, who was appointed to a vacant seat last summer, and Melissa Stacey are running for three three-year seats on the Conway School Board.

The program was to be taped at Valley Vision studio in North Conway friday at 11 a.m. with Anthony Cloutier, of Freedom and the Freedom School Board, serving as moderator. Cloutier is the moderator of the Valley Vision's popular Taking Sides program.

Last week, Skelton sent each of candidates an email urging them to participate.

"To incumbents," he wrote, "thanks for your past and current service on the Conway School Board. see VALLEY VISION page 22

CONWAY — If the school budget gets tied up at the state or in the courts for any period of time it could become an ordeal in more places than just the school.

“These are the things that keep me awake at night,” said Lucy Philbrick, the town’s finance director.

Her big concern, which she told the selectmen at Tuesday’s meeting, is if the struggle over the school budget lasts into the fall it could put the town in an awkward position.

Voters earlier this month decided to add back all the money the budget committee cut from school budget at the deliberative meeting—11 percent.

According to state rules voters can only adjust the budget committee’s recommendation by 10 percent, and there is concern about what will happen if the amended budget is approved.

Philbrick is worried if a battle ensues over the budget that lasts into October it could keep the town from sending out tax bills. That would create a cash flow problem for the town, she said, and force them to borrow money to cover their expenses.

When it comes time to set the tax rate the Department of Revenue Administration needs final budgets from every entity—the town, the school and all the precincts. Even one department can push off setting the tax rate if their budget isn't finalized, which in turn would push off sending out tax bills.

“What happens if the school budget is in limbo?” Philbrick said.

“Our bills would not be able to go out until the rate is set,” town manager Earl Sires said. “We can’t do that until after all the information is in.”

The town is already planning to take out a $2 million loan to cover its

VALLEY VISION from page 20

To all, thanks for your candidacy in being out there for the April election.

I am assuredly not running against any one of you, but running positively for some new energy, skills and ideas for Conway School Board as we move forward.

"To promote a most informed electorate, I discussed with Bill Edmunds, Valley Vision director, the possibility of a Valley Vision televised Conway School Board candidates forum to be held in the near future," Skelton continued.

"Bill was enthusiastic about the idea."

Edmunds said the program is set to air Friday 9 p.m., Saturday 6 a.m. and 7 p.m., Sunday 6 a.m., Monday 6 a.m.,

expenses while they wait for people to pay their taxes.

That amount assumes no complications when they send out the bills.

If there are complications, Philbrick said, she may have to come back to the selectmen for authorization to borrow even more money. “I wanted to get that off my chest,” she said.

“I don’t know what would happen if it went on and on,” Sires said, this is uncharted terrain for the town and the DRA. There are questions about more than just the tax rate if the school budget goes into limbo.

The town collects the school taxes and sends them to the school department over the course of the year.

The payments are typically between $500,000 and $950,000, sometimes paid twice a month, sometimes three times, other months not at all.

The school uses the money to pay its bills, from bonds to payroll. The school has given the town estimated requests for the second half of this year, but if their budget is in limbo Sires has questions about how those payments would be affected.

“Their fiscal year begins July 1,” he said, meaning their new budget is supposed to have taken effect. “If this thing isn’t resolved I don’t know what happens.”

“We would have a budget,” said school finance director Becky Jefferson, “we just might not agree with it.”

Even if the budget is up in the air, she said, the school would move forward with the DRA's adjusted budget, at least for the estimated payments. That would work at least through the summer, she said, when most payments are smaller amounts.

“Where it would affect is payroll starting in September,” she said.

And after that, it would start bumping into tax rate setting time.

“One would hope it wouldn’t go on that long,” Jefferson said.

Tuesday at noon and 5 p.m.

Cloutier's Taking Sides program has been on the airwaves for the past three years. "If you're as sick of partisan news programs as we are, then 'Taking Sides' is the answer to your prayers," the Valley Vision website states.

Each episode focuses on one topic, such as foreign policy, health care reform, and gay marriage. Recent guests have included Jeb Bradley, Beverly Woods, Tom McLaughlin, Dot Seybold, Jim Lefebvre, Jim Salmon, Maynard Thompson, and Gino Funicella."

Three men indicted for attempted murder in March

BY DAYMOND STEER THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

OSSIPEE — The Carroll County Attorney's Office is handling three unrelated cases of attempted murder.

Newly-elected County Attorney Tom Dewhurst can't say if that's some type of record, but he says it's a challenge to have so many complex and important cases happening at once.

“We’re definitely busy,” said <span>Dewhurst who took office in January. "There is a lot going on."

Three men were indicted on attempted murder in early March. Two of the three pleaded not guilty on March 23.

If someone is indicted it means that a grand jury found that there was probable cause to bring the case the Superior Court's docket for trial.

A grand jury consists of between 12 and 23 people. It takes at least 12 to return an indictment.

William Ramsey, 40, of Carroll County House of Corrections, was indicted on a charge of attempted murder for allegedly choking and beating his girlfriend in Conway on Dec. 13.

He was also indicted on charges of kidnapping for allegedly holding her against her will and second-degree assault for allegedly "ramming a curling iron down her throat."

When Conway police arrested Ramsey, he was only charged with assault and kidnapping. Dewhurst said the county attorney's office can decide how to indict a suspect.

Richard Moulton, 61, of Carroll County House of Corrections, was indicted on a felony charge of attempted murder for allegedly stabbing and punching his tenant, Ronald Routhier, in Albany on Feb. 7. Moulton was also indicted on a charge of witness tampering for allegedly threatening to kill Routhier's whole family if

he told anyone about the attack.

Celso Cruz, 42, of Carroll County House of Corrections, is accused of stabbing his lover, Kenneth Osherow, with a knife in Glen on Jan. 17, 2009.

Cruz was also indicted on two charges of first-degree assault for allegedly striking Osherow with a baseball bat.

Osherow sustained a fractured wrist and bruising to his chest.

Ramsey and Moulton both filed paperwork to plead not guilty on March 23. The target date for their trials is in November. But Cruz couldn't enter a plea because Superior Court Judge Steven Houran neglected to have a Portuguese-speaking interpreter at the arraignment.

"I didn't make sure that it happened," said Houran. "We all knew it was an issue."

Instead of continuing with the arraignment, scheduling matters were discussed. Houran gave the

BY ERIK EISELE THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — A police commission candidate is facing charges of criminal trespassing and resisting arrest for a recent run-in with officers.

Johnny Mazmanian was arrested in Lamplighter Mobile Home Park in January for violating a district court order restricting him from entering the park and interfering with an officer's attempt to place him under arrest.

This is not Mazmanian's first time in the court system. He was convicted of disorderly conduct and possession of marijuana for a 2006 incident.

"Some girl stuck it in my fanny pack after I was arrested," he said, referring to the marijuana. He pleaded no contest "because that's what my lawyer said I should do at the time."

He was also charged with simple assault and burglary, a felony, in that incident, but police dropped those charges.

Officers in both incidents acted inappropriately, Mazmanian said. He didn't resist arrest this time, he said, and the last time an officer manhandled him.

"He pulled back on my shoulders so hard it popped," he said.

But neither the past convictions nor the pending cases have anything to do with his candidacy, he said.

"I'm not running for police commissioner to hurt anyone," he said. "I want to help the police."

Mazmanian was fined $500 for the 2006 disorderly conduct charge, which was suspended pending one year good behavior, and $350 for the drug possession. He was also sentenced to 30 days in jail, again suspended pending one year good behavior and attendance of anger management counseling. Police dropped a simple assault charge and a burglary charge associated with the same incident.

"That's in the past," Mazmanian said. "I had a clean record before I came to Conway."

He is scheduled to go to court on the latest charges on May 11. He's hoping before then voters will pick him to be the newest of three commissioners who oversee the police department.

"I've been wanting to run for police commission for a long time," he said. "I happen to like the police and the police like me."

public defender's office until April 1 to file its paperwork. Then he agreed to give the state 10 days to respond.

Houran reset Cruz's arraignment date to April 12.

The gaff at the Superior Court arraignment wasn't the first time Cruz didn't get an interpreter in court. In February, in Conway District Court, Judge Pamela Albee tried to assist Cruz by having a phone conference with an interpretation service.

But the first interpretation service representative, reached by phone, was unable to help because she wasn't properly certified for that type of case. Eventually, the Conway court was able to connect with an interpreter who could help. Unfortunately, the phone disconnected again after the interpreter took his oath.

Albee decided to postpone the arraignment to the next day, when an interpreter was present.

Curling club not quite set in stone — but almost

BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — "I couldn't believe it, there's no way it's not going to happen here," Darrell Umlah, director of the Ham Ice Arena, said Wednesday after 52 people turned out to the West Main Street rink the night before to show their interest in forming a curling club in the Mount Washington Valley.

"The lobby was filled with people," Umlah continued. "We had 52 people for a preliminary meeting which was absolutely outstanding. I thought there might be an interest for the sport in this community, but this definitely confirmed it beyond my expectations. We had 52 people plus a lot of people of the 52 who have siblings and children who are interested, too. One of the coolest things was all of the people who came I kind of know but they're not regular customers of the Ham Arena. I think we're well on our way."

Curling is a sport in which players slide stones across a sheet of ice toward a target area. It is related to bowls, boule and shuffleboard. It gained national notoriety over the past two Winter Olympics when if was viewed as one of the most popular sports of the games.

Umlah said over the next two weeks a formal meeting will be held to create a board of directors.

"We only need nine people but I had 15 people on Tuesday express their willingness to serve and a bunch of others offered to do anything we needed," he said. "I've been in touch will the Cape Cod

Curling Club's Russ Lemke, who has a great deal of pull with the Grand National Curling Club, and he's going to use his weight to get us accepted. He says it'll be a nobrainer for the national club."

Once approved as a club, Umlah said the next step will be to get some curling stones.

"We'll look to lease the stones from the Grand National Curling Club," he said. "We'll put the curling markings in the ice when we reopen this summer and then run a series of learn to curl nights and lessons probably in late summer, August and September. Hopefully, this November, we'll have a curling league up and running with Saturdays being Curling Night at the Ham. If need be I do have some extra time (to curl) on Sunday mornings."

Although the club will be primarily novice at the outset, Umlah was surprised there were a handful of people on hand Tuesday who have played as well as coached the sport.

"We had seven or eight people who are long-time curlers," he said. "There were some folks from Canada who have played along with from Minnesota and we even had one gal from Sweden who coached curling in Canada. We're definitely well on our way. Hopefully we'll get to the point where one day we can host a bonspiel (a curling tournament with teams from across North America)."

If you were unable to attend the meeting but interested are in learning more about the sport or volunteering, contact Umlah at 447-5886.

Better fishing to come

Mother Nature played another cruel joke on anglers again last Friday. Any fisherman expecting anything different would indeed be a fool. For as far back as I can remember opening day and snow storms have been synonymous.

Last season was indeed an anomaly and gave us a false sense of hope for this season. Last year the ice went out on Bill Thompson March 24 on Lake Winnipesauke. This I believe this was a new record. The earliest previous date was March 28 in 1921.

The average ice out dates for the “big lake” is probably around mid April.

The record for the latest date was May 12 set in 1888.

On the whole anglers are perhaps the most optimistic group of people you will ever meet. As you would expect, a small cadre of “brother’s of the angle” could be found huddled together on the docks in Wolfeboro last Friday casting their lures in high hopes of catching a salmon. Saturday I was driving through Meredith at 6:30 a.m. and there were four fishermen on the docks. I tipped my hat to them as I drove by and saluted their grit. On a more positive note, I did hear that some salmon were caught over the weekend.

Finding home in natural landscapes Page 28 — THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Saturday, April 9, 2011

Hiking –––––

The top of Mount Passaconaway from Mount Hedgehog. (ED PARSONS PHOTO)

Last Monday night at the Conway Library, I saw Rick Wilcox’s slideshow on the trek he led Ed Parsons recently to the Kanchenjunga area.

The spectacular mountain scenery was almost unreal. I found that the show not only rekindled for me the beauty of Nepal, but also an appreciation of home mountains.

Can modern man claim a natural landscape as his home, and a place where he is not a tourist? Despite our separation from the natural world, part of us knows he can. One welcome sign of this, is when certain repeated hikes (or climbs) in your home mountains regularly contribute for your overall well being.

Such is the case with Mount Hedgehog (2,532 feet) located off the Kancamagus Highway, often climbed

by Conway artist Bob Gordon and his Tibetan terrier named Champney. Often they are accompanied by friends, sometimes friends with dogs. Two other nearby hikes they often do are Boulder Loop and South Moat.

Receiving great benefit from these hikes, they venture further afield in the White Mountains.

I have found Champney’s free wheeling spirit to be a fertile source of material for hiking columns. On a beautiful Thursday this week, our hike as a trio up Mount Hedgehog was no exception. It is good to repeat hikes in your home mountains with old friends.

Before we started up the Kancamagus Highway from Bob’s studio, located on the Conway end of this wilderness highway, we saw plows heading up the road. Strange, as it had rained in the valley the day before. But later, when we turned into the Downes Brook/UNH Trail parking lot and got ready to head out, we were pleasantly surprised to find three inches of new powder snow on top of the packed trail. Snowshoes weren’t needed. We threw our MICROspikes into our packs and didn’t need them until later, on a steep section just below the summit.

The parking lot was far enough from the highway for Champney to begin the hike unleashed.

He immediately started weaving a thread of tracks, and plunging his head in the powder. When we started up the trail, where Bob asked me to go first, I thought that I would be making tracks in virgin powder. But Champney remained in the lead (when he wasn t behind or to the side), and I rarely stepped in undisturbed powder the whole hike.

We decided to take the left hand loop of the five mile UNH Trail, and continued straight at the loop junction. I hadn’t done it that way for years. The woods were beautiful. We passed a tall deciduous tree that was hollowed out on one side. Bob reminded me of the time we had done the hike in the summer with local Liz Irwin, and she see next page

had done an impressive hand stand inside the tree.

Champney began stopping repeatedly to chew snow from his paws. If Bob had known of the new powder snow earlier, he would have applied musher’s wax to Champney’s paws.

But it was not a serious problem, and we continued.

Bob and I recalled past adventures with Champney that I hadn’t mentioned in a column yet. Last fall we had hiked into Greeley Ponds with Ginnie Smith. We walked past the first pond and continued to the second pond, with its great wide vista of water and mountains. Across the pond were cliffs on Mount Kancamagus. When

we yelled, a great echo returned to us.

Champney started barking and the mountain barked back. That got him going. He got excited and barked continuously at the Barking Mountain.

Last winter, I wrote a column about doing Boulder Loop with Bob and Champney. Champney had new booties on, and during the hike, both booties on his front paws came off. On was lost. I wrote about it, and gave Bob’s phone number if a later hiker was lucky enough to find the bootie in the deep snow. A couple days later he got a call. A man had found the bootie near the loop junction on the trail, and hung it on a tree. That day, Bob drove out the Kanc and started in on the trail. But at the junction the bootie see next page

Preferred habitats include generally open areas: tundra, grasslands and deserts. The golden eagle feeds primarily on live mammals such as ground squirrels and marmots — found in their preferred upland habitats. In winter they will feed on carrion and waterfowl in the east if prey is scarce — often associated with wintering bald eagles.

Although sightings occur every year in New York while the eagles pass through, no active nests are currently known. A nest was built in the winter of 1992-93 by a wintering pair in southeastern New York, but has never been used as the pair departs every spring to return the next fall.

The reasons for the decline of this species in the east are not clear. Various factors seem to be involved, including shooting, accidental trapping, human disturbance at nest sites, loss of essential open hunting habitat due to succession and fire control, and possibly pesticide contamination (especially by DDT).

Later back at home, Bob knew that immediately that something was wrong. Champney was mad that he hadn’t gone. All that evening, he wouldn’t sit in Bob’s lap — something that never happened before, or since.

Thursday morning we climbed gradually up into the light, approaching the lower East Ledges, where, after a pause admiring the view towards Mount Chocorua, we plunged into the woods again, and continued to the main East Ledges.

Just before them, there was a short cat-walk a few feet wide with trees on one side and a considerable drop-off on the other. I was concerned about Champney, didn’t want him to slip on hidden

ice and fall off. Bob said: “Don’t worry, he has his MICROspikes on.” Champney was a member of our group, and I had forgotten about his claws.

The view of the nearby pyramidal Mount Passaconaway was powerful from the East Ledges, and though the trees as we wound up the south side to the summit. On this rolling section, Champney seriously got into swishing his head around in the powder snow, but didn’t blind himself with snow, as he occasionally has in the past.

On the summit, two humans got candy bars, and the dog a treat. The sun beat down on us, as we looked southeast through Paugus Pass towards Mount Shaw in the Ossipee Range, and closer, directly across from us, the imposing Mount Passaconaway.

Later, on the walk down, all three of us had our foot traction on, and we descended effortlessly through the melting forest.

was nowhere to be found. He left empty handed.

A few weeks later, he did Boulder Loop with Champney again.

Champney had his rear booties on, and musher’s wax on his front paws. There was a firmer crust.

On the hike down, Champney repeatedly got up on his rear paws, and with his front paws off the ground, slid downhill like a skier. Bob couldn’t believe it.

Champney loves hiking. With the H-word spoken in Bob’s house, he comes to attention, looking Bob steadily in the eye.

Once this winter, Bob hiked with a friend up Mount Pierce. He left his dog at home. Champney watched him leave the house with his backpack.

The Presidentials were socked in, and as the duo climbed higher on the Crawford Path, the winds grew stronger and the snow hit their faces harder. They decided

Rhythm & Brews

from preceding page

However, I have read that the golden was never decimated by that pesticide like the bald eagle was, because of its mammalian dietary choices.

Golden eagles have been protected in the United States since 1963. During the 1950s, an estimated 20,000 eagles were destroyed by ranchers, particularly sheep farmers, who perceived them to be a threat to lambs as this eagle eats small mammals, not fish like the bald eagle does.

We have all seen films of goldens coming in at high speed to catch some prairie dog or ground squirrel in the West, as that is its food. Golden eagles use their agility and speed combined with extremely powerful talons to snatch up prey--which includes rabbits, marmots, ground squirrels, and large mammals such as fox, wild and domestic cats, mountain goats, ibex, and young deer. Birds, including large species up to the size of swans and herons as well as ravens and greater black-backed gulls, have all been recorded as prey. They have even been known to attack and kill fully grown roe deer. The Eurasian subspecies have been used to hunt and kill wolves in many native communities, where their status is regarded with great mystic reverence.

This is one of the largest birds of prey in North America; only the bald eagle and California condor get larger. The eagles are dark brown, with striking, lighter golden-buff plumage on their heads and necks which glows in the sunlight as that reflects a golden tint, which gives the bird its name. Some immature bald eagles are always suggested as goldens, but there are some differences to avoid making that mistake in identification. Young bald eagles have bare yellow legs while a golden eagle's legs are entirely feather covered, and bald’s have white scattered across wings and body, and they soar with flat wings.

Golden eagles maintain territories in the West that may be as large as 60 square miles. They are monogamous and may remain together for several years, or possibly for life. Golden eagles nest in high places including cliffs, trees, or human structures such as telephone poles. They build huge nests to which they may return for several breeding years.

For the life of the flesh is common to both men and animals, whereas the life of the spirit is possessed only by the pure in heart who have quaffed from the ocean of faith and partaken of the fruit of certitude.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Lynn Johnston

by Scott Adams

DILBERT

By Holiday Mathis community.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). One thing leads to another. You may not be able to change the “another” on its own, but you can change the “one thing.” Once you figure out the trigger, you can avoid it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You will learn that someone needs your particular talent. Getting the chance to be creative will energize you. Once you get into the zone, you’ll stay there all day.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

You will do what you love and bring so much of yourself to it that you will lose yourself in the moment. Responsibilities, worries and time itself will cease to exist for you while you follow your bliss.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You will notice that something is missing.

Maybe it was never there to begin with, but now you realize that you would like it to be there. And you have every right to ask for it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You will be keenly aware of the ebb and flow of action. And while you realize that the doldrums are a normal part of life, you are still proactive in keeping them away.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 9). You see two distinct realities ahead, and you choose the most appealing. You’ll face your fears and conquer a significant one before the change of seasons. Athletic skill is featured in May. An extra source of income opens in June -- start small and build slowly. Romantic notions turn into a reality in October. Capricorn and Cancer people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 25, 18, 29 and 41.

Get Fuzzy

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Each person sees what he wants to see. A small amount of evidence is all that’s needed, and the mind will fill in the rest. You will use this principle to your advantage as you paint the picture you want to paint about yourself.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your emotions will be engaged in the action of the day, which makes all you do seem effortless. You will go with your feelings, and as a result, yesterday’s unsatisfied wishes will be fulfilled.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The task you choose to take on did not come with an instruction manual. However, there have been many books written on the subject that will serve you just as well. Reading will change your life.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Subtlety can be cool, but in today’s circumstance, it will be better if everyone knows what you did right. They will follow suit, and big improvements can be made across the board.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You have a strong need to help people. Choose the target for your generosity well.

Also keep in mind that what helps one person might hinder the next person.

Cater your actions accordingly.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There’s a certain behavior you would like to change, but you are having trouble.

Think on the topic, and write down your thoughts. First you will get clarity, and then you will find solutions.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Spontaneous chats with friends, neighbors and acquaintances will whittle away the time. This may prove the best use of your minutes, after all. You’ll learn, connect and create a shared sense of

Help Wanted

by Abigail Van Buren

SENIOR WANTING SMALL COLLEGE CONFRONTS BIG ISSUE AT HOME

DEAR ABBY: I am a high school senior who has been filling out applications for college. I have found a few small liberal arts colleges I’d love to attend, and I have a favorite.

My problem: My father has been out of work for quite some time. He has applied for a job at a large state college. I visited the school and don’t like it because it’s a huge party school. My mother has now informed me that if Dad gets the job, I’ll have no choice but to go there because we would get a 70 percent discount in tuition.

I feel angry and guilty at the same time. The anger is because my parents had promised me that college would be my choice. The guilt is for not wanting my father to get this job, even though it would greatly help my family’s financial situation. Dad has made the second round of the long interview process. What should I do? -- BOUND FOR COLLEGE DEAR BOUND FOR COLLEGE: Your parents may have promised you your choice of colleges, but that was likely when your family’s financial situation was much better. What you should do is, first, pray that your father gets the job he so desperately needs. Then go to the library and start exploring what financial aid or scholarships are available at the schools you’d prefer to attend.

Also, don’t turn up your nose at the state college just yet.

While it may have a reputation as a party school, that doesn’t mean you have to participate in the festivities. If you’re a serious student, you can still get an excellent education and your degree, if you’re willing to keep your shoulder to the grindstone and work for it.

DEAR ABBY: I have been happily married to my husband

for 20 years. My problem is my children want me to make friends. My HUSBAND is my best friend. I don’t feel the need to go on “girls’ nights out” or anything else. I’m happy just to be with him.

I’m not anti-social, just content. Besides, I have seen what can happen to relationships when these kinds of outings go too far. I don’t want to offend my kids because they have only my best interests at heart, but I’m tired of the pressure. How can I get my adult children to leave my personal life alone and stop trying to get me to make friends? -- HAPPY AT HOME DEAR HAPPY: Your children may be urging you to make friends because they are aware that, statistically, women outlive their husbands. They don’t want you to be completely isolated if something should happen to their father, or worse, completely dependent upon THEM for a social life. Frankly, I think they have a point. However, as an adult you can make your own decisions. And if yours is that you don’t want to expand your circle (of two), just say it in plain English.

DEAR ABBY: From time to time you print helpful suggestions to readers in your column. Allow me to pass along a no-cost charitable contribution: I got one of those “airline miles expiring” letters offering magazine subscriptions for the miles. Not wanting or needing any of the magazines that were listed, I had more than a dozen subscriptions sent to our local residential care facility.

The residents were thrilled to receive them! -- DAVID M. IN SAN FRANCISCO DEAR DAVID: What a thoughtful gesture. I’m sure my readers will appreciate your suggestion.

Biomass bus tour April 22

Can heating with biomass save local taxpayers money and help the local economy? All are invited to come on the biomass tour on April 22 from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. to find out.

Schools, towns and businesses in NH and northern New England have had great success reducing their energy costs by switching to woodchip or pellet heat while investing their local tax heating dollars back into the New Hampshire economy.

With energy prices creeping back up, now is the perfect time to gather information. This tour of Winnisquam High School and the White Mountains National Forest Headquarters in Campton will offer the chance for people to see first-hand

how biomass facilities work and get questions answered.

School and business administrators, school board members, town officers, facility managers, energy committees, and community members from Carroll County are all invited to attend.

Anyone interested should sign up

by Friday, April 15, by calling 3238139 or emailing cyndi@lruw.org.

A $5 donation is requested to help defray the costs. A light lunch will be provided. This event is sponsored by the Balancing Economic Development and Environmental Stewardship Team of Carroll County United.

Visit www.CarrollCountyUnited.org for more information.

School Budget Warrant Article #5

Recommend voting against the School Board Budget

based upon a review of the financial and educational impacts • Approval of the proposed School Board Budget would likely result in a series of costly lawsuits, with no assurance that existing academic programs would be funded • The community and administration have publicly supported fully funding the original School Boardʼs Budget based on what will best serve the needs of our students and community • Voting NO on the School Board Budget, will be voting YES to the Default Budget, which would be the best option to fully fund the original School Board Budget and avoid lawsuits and arbitrary cuts by the NH Department of Revenue Administration • School Board Members have pledged not to spend any additional funds from the Default Budget, should the additional $190,000 be approved it would be returned to the town

Teachers’ Contract Warrant Article #7

Recommend voting in favor of the Teachersʼ Contract

based upon a review of the financial and educational impacts

• The proposed Teachersʼ Contract represents an increase of 1.09%, after two years without raises or cost of living adjustments • The proposed contract would increase starting salaries to attract better teachers, limit salary increases for senior teachers, and start to constrain healthcare costs by means of higher co-pays for services and prescriptions •The current starting salary at Kennett is the lowest of all K-12 school districts in NH. The proposed starting salary would be 147th out of 158, still $4,603 (20%) below the stateʼs average starting salary • The proposed Teachersʼ Contract would be the first in the state with a deductible plan, resulting in substantial future savings, even assuming town funding of the deductible for some teachers

CONWAY — Carroll County Democrats gather Tuesday, April 19, at North Conway Grand Hotel to hear former U.S. Rep. Carol Shea-Porter outline political, legislative and economic challenges facing the nation and New Hampshire as Democrats fight to preserve the social lifeline in the face of GOP attacks on social spending. The situation in New Hampshire is particularly challenging, according to Democrats, as the Republican majority pursues adoption of a drastically reduced state budget that eliminates a broad swath of social, health and educational services, eliminates public sector jobs but rolls back some fees and business taxes.

Shea-Porter served two terms in the U.S. House of Representatives; she was elected in 2006 after an upset primary victory and an unlikely victory in the general election.

She was reelected in 2008 in a hard-fought campaign, but lost in the Republican avalanche of 2010.

County chairman Bob Bridgham will open the meeting proper at 7 p.m. but there is a social component to the evening, a social hour and dinner starting at 5:30 p.m. for those who wish to come early and renew old acquaintances.

The dinner is a casual affair in the Canterbury Room; attendees may order their choices from a hotel menu — sandwiches appetizers and entrees range in price from $7.95 to $18.95. The Conway Grand Hotel is located behind Settler’s Green just off Route 16.

A question-and-answer session will follow Shea-Porter’s formal remarks.

White Mountain Cafe to feature Appalachia Journal event April 10 JACKSON — The White Mountain Cafe in Jackson will present an Appalachia Journal afternoon with journal editor Christine Woodside, Sunday, April 10, at 2 p.m.

Appalachia Journal, the oldest mountaineering journal in the country, has been the home of White Mountain writers since 1876, and cafe friend Chris Woodside is its editor.

Woodside writes that, "A few years back, my husband brought home an old tape of Leo Kottke songs. One of them was, "Morning is the Long Way Home." Suddenly, I had found the words for my approach to mountain narratives. Nothing worth having comes quickly — any mountain trekker knows that."

Christine Woodside is the editor of Appalachia Journal. She will be at White Mountain Cafe in Jackson Sunday.

Woodside will show slides of mountain photos and talk about examples of this philosophy in the writings of the Appalachia Journal.

Located next to the post office in the Jackson Falls Marketplace, the White Mountain Caf&eacute; serves a

variety of hearty breakfast sandwiches, bagels, wraps, paninis, quiche and soups, along with muffins, scones, croissants, cookies, and cakes. The cafe is a two-time “Best of New Hampshire” winner, and has recently been certified as a “Best of New Hampshire Grand.

REAL ESTATE CORNER

Is a home a good investment?

BY EDWARD O’HALLORAN Is a home a good investment?

If you look at it in a strictly from a "dollars and cents" view there are many factors that come into play: A home requires care and maintenance, such as painting, landscaping (read lawn mowing and garden weeding), snow shoveling unless you escape to Florida for the winter. You will need building insurance in case Mother Nature has a fit or some litigious person slips on ice on your steps.

Then there are real estate taxes. Home and land owners have to pay for all the helpful services provided by your town, not the least of which are road maintenance and plowing, policemen, who make sure you are secure, and, of course, school costs. Even if you don’t go to school now, someone had to pay for your education when you did attend school. Now it is your turn.

All of this adds up to a pretty penny, but if you don’t own your own home you would paying your landlord rent, which by all accounts would be more than the total of the above expenses.

If you put all of your money into stocks and bonds you might see some income and appreciation, or then again you might not. If a particular business that you not-so-wisely invested in goes belly up, you may be left with nothing but pieces of very expensive wallpaper. Whereas real estate may go up and down with the economic cycles, it never goes away. You still can use it as your home, or if it’s just land, you could pitch a tent and enjoy the great outdoors on your property (maybe Florida in the winter wouldn’t be a bad idea).

If you look at the bulk of your investments on a long-term basis as a balanced stock portfolio, you will probably have obtained appreciation based on historic Dow Jones averages. But the same is true of real estate. I know of many properties that have gone up and sold at 10 to 20 times their original cost over a span 10 to 30 years.

Of course both securities and real estate go through cycles of ups and downs. When the stock market dipped by 50 percent, the property values only went down 20 percent to 30 percent. This recent experience makes real property a better bet. But that alone doesn’t make a home a good investment.

Your home offers so much more. No matter its size, or location, or condition, it is your castle. see O’HALLORAN page 50

G.E. plans to build largest solar panel plant in U.S.

your home, assuming your mortgage is a fixed-rate mortgage, your monthly payment will remain the same for the duration of the mortgage. That in itself is a pretty big savings! Not to mention that you do not have to worry about being displaced if the landlord decides he no longer wishes to continue to rent his property.

Is a home a good investment? The answer is no.

A home is a great investment.

NEW YORK TIMES

SAN FRANCISCO — In a move that could shake up the American solar industry, General Electric plans to announce on Thursday that it will build the nation’s largest photovoltaic panel factory, with the goal of becoming a major player in the market.

“For the past five years, we’ve been investing extremely heavily in solar,” said Victor Abate, vice president for G.E.’s renewable energy business.

“Going to scale is the next move.”

The plant, whose location has not been deter-

mined, will employ 400 workers and create 600 related jobs, according to G.E. The factory would annually produce solar panels that would generate 400 megawatts of energy, the company said, and would begin manufacturing thin-film photovoltaic panels made of a material called cadmium telluride in 2013. While less efficient than conventional solar panels, thin-film photovoltaics can be produced at a lower cost and have proven attractive to developers and utilities building large-scale power plants.

G.E. has signed agreements to supply solar panels see next page

to generate 100 megawatts of electric power to customers, including a deal for panels generating 60 megawatts with NextEra Energy Resources.

G.E., a manufacturing giant, operates in a range of energy businesses, from nuclear power plants to natural gas turbines. It has been aggressively expanding its energy portfolio, particularly through acquisitions.

Abate said G.E. had completed its purchase of PrimeStar Solar, the Arvada, Colo., company that made the thin-film photovoltaic panels. G.E. said the Energy Department’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory recently certified that a PrimeStar solar panels manufactured at its factory in Colorado had set a 12.8 percent efficiency record for cadmium telluride technology. Conventional solar panels typically are 16 to 20 percent efficient at converting sunlight into electricity.

“We believe we’ll be a cost leader, a technology leader and we’re excited about our position in a 75-gigawatt solar market over next five years,” said Abate.

The global conglomerate’s entry into the highly competitive photovoltaic market is likely to prove a significant challenge to First Solar, the thin-film market leader and the dominant manufacturer of cadmium telluride panels.

Also at risk are start-ups like Abound Solar, a Colorado company that in December obtained a $400 million federal loan guarantee to build factories to manufacture cadmium telluride panels.

G.E.’s initial panel manufactur-

ing capacity will be a fraction of the more than 2,300 megawatts of capacity that First Solar, based in Tempe, Ariz., plans to have online by the end of 2011.

But Abate said that G.E.’s solar effort would parallel the rise of its wind energy business.

“It’s a $6 billion platform and it was a couple of hundred million dollars in ’02,” he said of the company’s wind division. “When you look at G.E., we’re very good at scale. In ’05, we were building 10 turbines a week. By ’08, we were doing 13 a day.”

But as with its wind business, G.E. will face competition from low-cost, government-subsidized Chinese manufacturers.

The United States government has offered a range of subsidies to help American solar panel makers, including loan guarantees for new factories.

G.E. said it was not applying for a loan guarantee but was exploring applying for state and federal manufacturing tax credits.

Prices for conventional siliconbased solar modules have plummeted 50 percent in recent years and are expected to continue to fall, in large part because of the rapid expansion of Chinese manufacturing capacity. That has put particular pressure on thinfilm companies to increase the efficiency of their panels and maintain a technological edge.

Abate said G.E. would focus on improving the 12.8 percent efficiency of its panels as well as lowering costs.

“We see our way to much higher efficiencies than that,” he said. “We probably can cut costs 50 percent over the next several years.”

It has curb appeal, it's tastefully decorated, and clutter-free.

How could such a perfect home be compared to one without an owner to lavish similar attention to it?

If you're selling a home, it's likely you've had the above conversation running through your head.

Indeed, the unprecedented number of foreclosures on the market, as well as "distressed" properties on the verge of foreclosure, are impacting values and frustrating conventional sellers.

But experts say sellers stressed by unfair comparisons to their home may be able to turn that self-talk into a more productive conversation: * Be a neighborhood snoop.

Sure, newspaper listings of foreclosures are a source of gossip. But smart sellers and their agents should know exactly how many homes sold in past months which were bank-owned foreclosures or "short-sales" whereby the seller's lender agrees to take sale proceeds for less than the mortgage debt, and the condition of the property sold.

Some foreclosures may be in a good condition, explains Connie Scott of RE/ MAX At Home, Rolling Meadows, Illnois. In fact, in her area there is a wide divergence in sale prices of distressed homes, reflecting differences in condition and location.

It's part of a listing agent's job to have information on area sales, but sometimes sellers can also dig up valuable nuggets. "Let's say there

is a foreclosure a block away that's up for sale and is a similar model to your home," illustrates T.J. McCarthy, Tinley Park appraiser. "You hear from a another neighbor that it had standing water in the basement because the utilities were shut off, and mold issues threaten." That could mean your dry, move-in home is worth more. * Inform the appraiser.

When a seller accepts a purchase offer, and the buyer seeks a mortgage, his lender will order an appraisal to determine if the requested mortgage is supported by a certain value.

It's important for a seller's agent to be there when the appraiser arrives, says McCarthy, to inform him of any significant differences between the condition of the home versus distressed sales.

Owners should "prepare" their home by keeping lights on and closet doors open, McCarthy adds. He stresses that both owners and agents shouldn't follow the appraiser around or attempt to "sway" his opinion, however. * Sort out distinctions.

Unfortunately, when many low-price, distressed sales occur, all values are adversely impacted, notes Joseph Magdziarz, president of the Appraisal Institute, a Chicago professional group.

Still, "The appraiser must consider all relevant transactions ...and then determine which of those transactions should be used in the analysis ," says Magdziarz.

One or two distressed sales, which sold quickly at a very low price might be discarded as "liquidation" sales, not really comparable, says McCarthy.

A niche in the wreckage of Florida real estate Page 52 — THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Saturday, April 9, 2011

BY ANDREW MARTIN NEW YORK TIMES

NORTH PORT, Fla. — One recent morning, Shannon Moore raced through a musty pink house — three bedrooms, two baths — that was advertised as having “good bones” and “primed for renovation.” As in many recently foreclosed homes in Florida, the appliances and air-conditioner were missing from this one, either taken by the previous residents or stolen. ”It’s not as bad as I thought,” Moore said. “You could probably get this place fixed up for $8,000. You could get a refrigerator on Craigslist for $200.” “$70,000?” she asks aloud, referring to the list price.

“What the heck?” Moore, a real estate broker, has found a profitable niche in the wreckage of Florida’s real estate market, where a glut of vacant homes continues to depress prices. She scouts out deals for several groups of investors, including one that counts a professional poker player as a member and a group of Macedonians from Toronto.

Just a few years back, real estate investors were considered pariahs for fomenting a buying frenzy that drove home prices to stratospheric levels. This time around, housing experts say investors are desperately needed because there are so many vacant homes and homebuyers are having such trouble obtaining credit.

“If Florida is going to have a comeback anytime soon, investors are going to have to play a role,” said Rick Sharga, a senior vice president at RealtyTrac. “There are just too many properties for traditional home buyers to absorb.”

Of course, speculators have been picking through the rubble of America’s real estate collapse for several years now, and the housing industry remains deeply

troubled across the country, suggesting that it would be far worse were it not for investors. Data released by the National Association of Realtors recently shows that investors represented 17 percent of all home sales in 2010 nationwide, the same as the previous year. But in recent months, investment activity has picked up, according to Walter Molony, an association spokesman, who attributed the increase to relatively cheap prices and the lack of available credit for homebuyers.

There is no shortage of deals in Florida. The Census Bureau recently reported that 17 percent of the homes in Florida were vacant. Even though the figure includes vacation homes that were unoccupied at the time of the survey, the underlying rate within the state reflects a sustained downturn.

The median house price in Florida, meanwhile, had dropped to $121,900 in February, from $257,800 in June 2006, a decline of 53 percent, according to Metrostudy, a housing research firm. Indeed, some houses and condominiums in Florida are selling for roughly the price of a practical family sedan, new or used.

For instance, a two-bedroom house in Port Charlotte, just south of North Port on the Gulf Coast of the state, recently sold for $8,000, and listings for $25,000 homes are not uncommon. Many experts expect prices to drop even further. ”Nationally we are expecting prices to stabilize by the end of this year,” said Celia Chen, senior director at Moody’s Analytics. “We don’t expect it to stabilize in Florida until sometime in 2012, and that’s a direct overhang of the excess inventory.”

Despite the risks, several investors expressed optimism about their chances of making money, if not a killing.

“A wise man told me that the best time to enter a business is during a recession,” said Peter Ide, a British builder who was transferred by his company to Florida to buy up homes, fix them up and resell them.

“The potential here is phenomenal.”

Steve Barnhardt, a friend of oore’s, said he began buying up houses to stay afloat until the market revived. On this morning, he was installing inexpensive carpet in a three-bedroom house that he purchased for $76,000 and had just sold for $103,000; he estimates his profit was $9,000 after paying $5,000 in back taxes and closing costs. (He says he could have made more if not for “low-life” neighbors.)

“The things I used to do are no longer out there,” said Barnhardt, who had previously made a comfortable living investing in commercial real estate and operating heavy equipment. “Right now, this is what is paying my property taxes and keeping me alive.”

Not everyone views real estate investors as that benign, or savvy. April Charney, a public aid lawyer who lives in nearby Venice, questioned why investors would fix up houses with so few eligible buyers.

Besides, she said the new owners were likely to end up with a vacant home next door with squatters, mold or filthy pools.

“They are dreaming,” she said. “That’s just a pipe dream in North Port.”

As for investors, there is the occasional reminder that they are benefitting from the misfortunes of others.

A few weeks ago, a painter found a letter addressed to “the next occupant of this fine home” in one of the houses Moore’s investors had purchased.

“This house was my dream but like life sometimes dreams don’t work out,” the letter read. “Now I’m just surrounded with boxes of memories and dashed intentions of what may have been. So do me a favor. Make your own good memories here.”

About 35 miles southeast of Sarasota, North Port was carved out of shrub land in the 1950s by the General Development Corp., which sold the plots to buyers up north. It remained a relatively quiet community until the last decade, when developers erected one subsee FLORIDA page 55

FLORIDA from page 52

division after the next.

North Port’s population doubled in less than four years, city officials say.

There are now about 55,000 residents.

In those high-flying days of Florida real estate, Moore said she would buy up vacant shrub land and sell seven or eight lots on a good day, for $50,000 apiece, making as much as 40 percent in profits.

Those days are long gone, and North Port has fallen hard. Moore, a Florida native, is stuck with four plots that cost her $38,000 each (each is worth $5,000 or less) and a duplex she bought for $140,000 (it’s now worth $30,000, she says).

She is also $100,000 under water on her house and living on a street, Mistleto Lane, in which a third of the houses are vacant, including one just across the street.

Nonetheless, Moore reinvented herself as an intelligence agent of sorts, alerting her clients, for instance, to details like whether a house has undesirable neighbors, Chinese drywall or an unsavory past. (She steered her clients away from a three-bedroom house that appeared to be a steal, but was tied to a grisly rape and murder.)

One investor, a Florida businessman, exclusively buys duplexes. Moore’s Macedonian clients want three-bedroom, two-bathroom houses that cost about $100,000, which they buy and rent. Mr. Ide’s group, which includes a retired Maryland developer and the poker player, buys homes at foreclosure auctions, fixes them up and resells them.

Since investors can’t inspect the inside of a foreclosed house before auction, Ide’s group is particularly reliant

on Moore’s local knowledge. If she isn’t familiar with a house, she drives by and often brings along two of her three daughters, who are home-schooled.

(Her 13-year-old, Willow, has made as much as $400 a week on Craigslist, selling belongings left behind in vacant homes.)

During a recent auction, Moore sat in front of a computer screen in her office, with Ide’s partner, Jon Breen, the retired developer, on the speaker phone. Thirteen properties were being auctioned by the county this morning, though Mr. Breen focused his attention on a half dozen or so.

Moore pulled up comparable sales and back taxes, while Breen calculated his costs aloud.

“Barcelona has $8,367 in back taxes,” she says, referring to a house on Barcelona Avenue in Sarasota. “Remember the house next door had an odd color.”

“I think it’s a junky piece of property,” Breen said, before bidding $59,000.

Later, when the house sells for $64,001, she says, “Who is the dummy today? They are paying way too much.”

Breen ended up buying two houses in North Port, one for $111,001 and another for $77,002.

Later that day, when Moore met the investors to change the locks and inspect the houses, they were pleasantly surprised. Both houses were in relatively good condition and would require only some paint and minor repairs.

“This is about as good as it gets,” Ide said, as he inspected the $111,001 house, a four-bedroom where some water damage around the Jacuzzi was the only apparent problem. But it did get better.

A week later, after $4,500 was spent on new appliances and repairs, an offer was made on the house for $152,000.
