Prom for adults
–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– DIGEST––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
GREEN BAY, Wis. (NY Times) — The last time Ashley Moeller shimmied into a satin dress and glittering high heels for the prom, her father issued a stern warning: be home by 11 p.m. sharp. He waited at the door, careful to smell her breath for even the slightest trace of alcohol. This time, she simply dropped the children off at her mother-in-law’s house. Nobody would be waiting up for Ms. Moeller, and her husband, Kurt, both 25, to come home from the adult prom. “Prom the way you always wanted it,” the advertisement in Green Bay called out, an attempt to attract would-be revelers whose high school days have come and long gone. This is prime prom season, the time when teenage girls spend hundreds of dollars for what they hope will be the perfect night. But in an increasing number of cities those teenagers searching for their prom gowns are brushing elbows with grown women, some at least double their age. Adult proms have already taken place in Fort Wayne, Ind., and Beverly, Mass., this year. Others are planned in Decatur, Ga., and Cedar Rapids, Iowa. These are not reunions of former high school classmates eager to relive the prom night they had together. A vast majority of revelers are in their 20s and 30s, although a few are in their early 60s and are simply excited at the prospect of getting decked out and dancing — and voting for the night’s king and queen.

False allegations upend lives of two Muslims in Army
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– WORLD/NATION–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
(NY Times) — Two years ago, Khalid Lyaacoubi and Yassine Bahammou, immigrants from Morocco, enlisted in the Army National Guard, recruited for a program that promised higher rank, bonuses and quick citizenship to Arabic speakers who could help fill the military’s need for interpreters. Shortly before Christmas 2009, they graduated from boot camp, but as they prepared to leave Fort Jackson, S.C., they were instead questioned by military investigators who suspected them and three other Moroccan immigrants of plotting to poison fellow soldiers. For the next 45 days, they were placed under a form of barracks arrest, prevented
from calling their families without sergeants present, forbidden to speak Arabic to each other and required to have escorts to the mess hall and the bathroom. No charges were filed, but their laptops, cellphones and passports were confiscated. Only after the intervention of a Muslim chaplain were they allowed to go back to their homes. Last May, the Army concluded that the allegations against them were unfounded. But the Federal Bureau of Investigation has kept its inquiry open, officials say. As a result, the men have been unable to receive security clearances, become citizens, deploy to Iraq,or get government jobs, the soldiers say.

Adolescence isn’t just about prom or wearing sparkly dresses.” —Jena Malone
WASHINGTON (NY Times) — C.I.A. interrogators questioned three wives of Osama bin Laden for the first time on Thursday, 10 days after they were taken by Pakistani security forces from the compound where the Al Qaeda leader was killed, an American official confirmed on Friday. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, declined to give any details about the duration of the questioning or what was learned. American officials have many questions for them: where other top Qaeda operatives are located; where Bin Laden lived before moving to
Abbottabad, Pakistan; which Pakistani officials may have visited the compound in Abbottabad. But the wives are believed to have lived very cloistered lives, and it is unclear what they may know or how cooperative they may be. The three widows, Khairiah Sabar, Siham Sabar and Amal Ahmed Abdulfattah, who is also known as Amal Ahmed al-Sadah, had been held and questioned for days by Pakistani officials before the C.I.A. interrogators spoke to them. Ms. Abdulfattah, who is Yemeni, was shot in the leg during the assault on Bin Laden’s compound by Navy Seals.
Protesters take to Syria’s streets despite crackdown
BEIRUT, Lebanon (NY Times) — Thousands of protesters in Syria defied a ferocious crackdown and returned to the streets Friday, even in towns that the military had besieged only days before, in a relentless contest of wills that a leading dissident described as an emerging stalemate. Fridays have served as a weekly climax in the challenge to President Bashar al-Assad’s rule. Calls for demonstrations this Friday came after a withering wave of repression that has killed hundreds and detained thousands in towns and cities stretching from the Mediterranean coast to Damascus’s outskirts and the poverty-ridden south. While some of the country’s most restive locales remained relatively quiet, protesters took to the streets in at least five neighborhoods in Homs, Syria’s third largest-city and a center of the two-month uprising. Activists said protests ranged in numbers from hundreds to thousands, and at least two were killed when security forces opened fire.

Friends come to defense of men accused in Dittmeyer murder BY ERIK EISELE THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
CONWAY — Friends of the men charged in connection with Krista Dittmeyer’s murder continue to speak out. The charges don’t fit the men, they say, but not in unison. Anthony Papile, 28, of Ossipee, is charged with second-degree murder. Authorities allege he and another man, 28-year-old Michael Petelis of Ossipee, developed a plan to steal money and drugs from Dittmeyer. It was Papile, they say, who hit Dittmeyer over the head with a rubber club and dumped her bound body in a pond at the base of Cranmore Mountain. He now faces a possible life sentence if found guilty. Petelis and another man, 23-year-old Trevor Ferguson, are both charged with conspiracy to commit robbery and could face 15 years in jail.
Northland
All three are now in jail awaiting their next court date May 19, but people who know Papile and Ferguson well have been coming to their defense. “Trevor is a gentle giant, that’s all he is,” said Justin Eldridge, who has known Ferguson since he was 8 years old. “I’ve never seen him hurt anybody.” Eldridge said he and Ferguson used to be roommates. When he first heard his friend had been arrested, he said, “I thought it was a joke.” Others described him as “shy,” a “sweetheart.” “I was in shock,” said Ferguson’s grandmother, who asked not to have her name released. She said her grandson is easy going and quiet, “a very dependable young man.” “He’s my teddy bear,” she said. “I’m dumbfounded at this point.” “He has never had any run-ins with the cops,” Eldridge said. “He

was in the wrong place at the wrong time.” Eldridge has been sticking up for his friend in both the digital and real world, which has resulted in blow-back. People sent him insulting and threatening messages, he said, for speaking out in support of Ferguson. “They’re automatically judging,” he said, already presuming he is guilty. Eldridge doesn’t doubt Ferguson gave Papile a ride from Cranmore, where Papile allegedly dumped Dittmeyer’s body and then abandoned her car with her 14-month old baby inside, back to Ossipee. He doesn’t believe, however, that Ferguson could have known what was going on. “If he knew about what happened to Krista he wouldn’t have done it,”

he said. Ferguson’s grandmother echoed Eldridge: “If he would have known he never would have gone,” she said. Eldridge is even calling up news organizations that have been getting the facts wrong in a way that implicates his friend. WMUR reported the three men divided up the money and drugs taken from Dittmeyer, he said, which isn’t what the court documents say, so he called them and pointed out the mistake. The court documents filed by the prosecutor say Ferguson gave Papile a ride from Cranmore back to Ossipee in exchange for money and drugs, but the only reference to money or drugs taken from Dittmeyer was an exchange between Papile and Petelis. see FRIENDS page 50

Career and Tech students shine
CONWAY — Students from the Kennett High automative program had a strong showing at the state level, but they claim they couldn’t have done it without the local support they received from Napa Auto Care Group. Students Cameron Sanphy, Eric Bellen and Travis Hansen wrote a letter of thanks to the business for the help. “We, from the Kennett High School automotive program, would like to thank you for the generous donations that allowed us to compete at the Skills Competition in Nashua. It is because of your donation that we were able to participate. We trained
long and hard to be prepared to do our best at the competition. At the day of the event, we were given a 100 question written test and nine hands-on stations. A few of the things we had to perform were: diagnose faulty equipment; find faulty electrical connections; perform various tasks with the scan tool; and explain alignment issues. We’re proud to announce that Cam placed second; Eric placed third; and Travis placed fourth overall out of 28 students in the state. Thank you once again, it was a moment we will never forget.”

The YMCAs of New Hampshire held their annual Youth & Government Program at the beginning of April. There were 30 schools and over 300 teens and school advisors/YMCA volunteers in attendance. The motto of the YMCA Youth & Government Program is “Democracy must be learned by each generation”. At our state capitol the students actively participated in a 2 day model legislative session. They had the opportunity to experience state government by electing their own youth officials, debating bills and learning about the democratic process. The Carroll County YMCA and Camp Belknap sponsored 25 students from both Kennett High School and Kingswood Regional High School to attend this year’s session. Also in attendance were advisors Katy Merserve and Ken Joy from Kingswood,Caryn and Gene Clark from Camp Belknap and Jody Skelton, Kara Couture and Mark Cadman from the Carroll County YMCA.

CONWAY — Kennett High freshmen got a glimpse of what their future may hold last week when the Class of 2014 toured four colleges around the Granite State. It was an opportunity to see what educational opportunities could be in store for them should they want to pursue that career path. “This is something that I have been wanting to bring to Kennett High School since I came here almost three years ago,” KHS Guidance Director Jennifer Murphy said. “It was done at the freshmen and sophomore grade levels where I used to work. I have seen the benefit of a trip like this and how it changes how students perceive college. Some students think it is not for them, or they could never afford it, or college is the same as high school, this trip allows the opportunity to dispel those myths.” Murphy said the first year trip was such a success that it will be done with future freshmen classes. The entire freshmen class went over a two day period. “Our students were able to choose between Southern New Hampshire University, Saint Anselm’s College, New Hampshire Institute of Art, and New Hampshire Technnical Institute,” she explained. “Guidance counselors went into the freshman classroom and presented our career unit that is done each year. Students went through a series of assessments to determine their interests, skills, and work ethics. “Students were then given a list of careers that would meet those criteria,” Murphy contineud. “We worked backwards and turned those careers into programs that would be available at the post-secondary level. We instructed the students about what programs each of these schools were known for and then allowed the students to sign up for the one that offered their program, or something close to their program.” Murphy and her colleagues saw a definite benefit to the trip. “One of my esteemed colleagues put it perfectly, they said high school is like a puzzle and students are trying to figure out that puzzle without ever looking at the picture on the box,” she said. “By going on these visits, we are providing the picture on the box. We are showing them why we are asking them to care about their academics now so their options are not limited when they are seniors. Also, as I mentioned, it changes their perspective about what myths they may have heard about college.”

Tele-Talk
Should the school board appeal the state’s ruling that $1.4 million be cut from the school budget? The New Hampshire Attorney General has ruled that the school default budget, approved by voters last month, is subject to the so-called “10 percent rule,” and that more than $1.4 million must be cut. This would mean the elimination of dozens of jobs and would also affect programs, such as the after-school Project SUCCEED, and repair projects. The 10 percent rule is the N.H. Department of Revenue Administration’s stipulation that voters can only add or deduct up to 10 percent from the budget at the deliberative session of town or school meeting. At Conway’s deliberative school meeting this year, voters reinstated an 11 percent cut that had been proposed by the budget committee. Then in April, they voted down the budget in favor of a default budget, which was even more. The state is now ordering the school district to cut the budget and warrant articles to get back to within 10 percent. The school board must decide whether to appeal that ruling, which could cost up to $40,000 in legal fees. This week’s Tele-Talk: Should the school board appeal the state’s ruling that $1.4 million be cut from the school budget? Call 733-5822 Saturday and Sunday and leave your comments on our machine.

Off the Wall The following are some of the comments posted on The Conway Daily Sun’s Facebook page this week: On the value of historic preservation, and plans to demolish Pines Lodge in Redstone and the Tamworth Inn. “Why is this happening? The profit motive? Disregard for community? What replaces these repositories of memory and comunity?” — Cynthia Melendy “If every dilapidated building in the area was declared historical, you would have a glut of fallingdown buildings with no businesses in them or around them. Some of those buildings are beyond repair and need to be razed. Sad, but true.” — Terri Lucas “Historical preservation needs to happen before a place become unuseable. When a precious property goes on the market the first time would be a good time for like-minded individuals to step up and organize, buy and preserve. We like to whine about what “they” should do — we are the “they.” Step up, organize a preservation effort, raise money, buy the properties, or pass the historical zoning. There are a lot of tools available to this effort if someone wants to lead it.” — Michael Kline “It wouldn’t be so bad if a buyer built something nice on the property and not another pharmacy or gas station.” — Elicia Bernard
“It is discouraging that even with an overwhelming public sentiment towards preserving the significant historic treasures in rural New Hampshire that developers can destroy them with virtually no means of regulatory opposition or prevention. We are not only losing the physical significance of the structure but also a vital piece of the community. Unfortunate that the Pines Lodge is gone, but do what you can to prevent losing the Tamworth Inn as well.” — Tim Nichols State orders Conway School Board to cut $1.4 million from its operating budget and warrant articles approved by voters last month. “It’s sad that children’s education is not as important as other things. We did such a great job lowering the dropout rate, now get ready for it to jump again. For some kids, classes like art, choir, etc., are an escape and something they go to college for. There is so much I want to say about this but cannot clearly leave a ‘comment’ about it. I am disappointed to say the least.” — Tiera C. Davis “Costs keep going up but enrollment goes down. What kind of math is that? There are as many administraters as there are teachers. Is that really necessary? Reading, writing and arithmetic. That is what is needed. Period! Wake up!” — Andy Adam

NATIONAL PERSPECTIVE
Republicans are waiting NORTH CONWAY — Stand in the center of this famous old town and look to the north. There's Mount Washington with its early-May mantle of white clinging to the ravines. Look to the east and there's Mount Cranmore, the storied ski hill still with traces of snow. All about there is the feeling that the transition to the new season hasn't quite arrived. So it is with the political season that is beginning in this state, for six decades the site of the first presidential primary. The struggle for the Republican presidential nomination hasn't really begun. Indeed the field, like so many of the old farms along the rural byways, seems almost empty right now. In other years when the political field seemed incomplete, there was a giant on the sidelines, contemplating his options. One time it was California Gov. Pete Wilson, another it was Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson. Both Republicans were duds once real campaigning began in North Country towns like this and in the cities and suburbs to the south. Once it was New York Gov. Mario M. Cuomo. In the end, a plane destined for Concord, N.H., to file campaign papers never took off, and so the Cuomo campaign didn't take off either. This time is different. There is no giant abroad in the land, weighing a campaign, consulting pollsters and fundraisers about his prospects. The main figure in that position isn't a giant at all, but a diminutive man with an iron will and a gold-plated resume, Gov. Mitch Daniels of Indiana, whose prospects shot up when a truly large figure, the husky Gov. Haley Barbour of Mississippi, stepped aside. There's another reason this time is different. It's the utterly changed landscape since the slaying of terrorist leader Osama bin Laden in a Pakistan mansion where he hid in plain sight. Now President Barack Obama seems like a giant killer, in part because he ordered the killing of a giant figure — perhaps the biggest so far of the 21st century. Where once the president seemed weak, indecisive, even lacking in audacity — I wrote these things myself only some weeks ago — now he seems strong, decisive, audacious. Where once he seemed overwhelmed by the problems that came to his in-box, he now seems confident and efficient in dealing with them and perhaps even ready to begin some new initiatives of his own. There has been no more dramatic a transformation of an American president in decades. Ones that come close include Gerald R. Ford's pardon of Richard M. Nixon, which worked to his disadvantage in the polls but not in history; Nixon's trips to China and Soviet Russia, which worked to his advantage both in the polls and in history; and Harry Truman's firing of Gen. Douglas MacArthur, which now is regarded as having re-established one of the bedrock principles of American civic life. The other major effect of the bin Laden killing is to diminish some of the peripheral figures on Republican lists, especially businessman and television figure Donald Trump, who was transformed from caricature to cartoon in a few hours' time. No president since Andrew Jackson has had a coiffure remotely like Trump's, whose hair has the second disadvantage of eerily bringing to mind the great lesson from Richard Nixon: The cover-up is worse than the crime. Many Republicans, several of whom
La w O ffice o f

graciously praised the president, increasingly believe they cannot prevail next year with a cast of characters who are the political equivalents of the stand-ins who played big-league baseball from 1942 to 1945. I have argued in this space that the eventual challenger to Obama will rise in stature and in prospects merely by possessing the Republican presidential nomination. I still believe that. But Joel Goldfield, the St. Louis University political scientist, maintains that major party candidates who win their nominations against a weak or depleted field may be inherently weaker in general elections than those who prevail over a stronger field. The best example: John F. Kennedy was able to defeat Richard M. Nixon in 1960 in part because he defeated a formidable group of opponents, including Hubert H. Humphrey, Lyndon B. Johnson and Stuart Symington. The same was true of Ronald Reagan, whose 1980 campaign against Jimmy Carter was enhanced because he was able to defeat such rivals as Senate Minority Leader Howard H. Baker Jr., former director of central intelligence George H.W. Bush, former Treasury Secretary John Connally and former GOP vice presidential nominee Robert J. Dole. "A strong field greatly helps the candidate who ultimately gets the nomination," says Scott Reed, who managed Dole's later campaign, when he won the 1996 GOP nomination only to be defeated by President Bill Clinton. "It makes him or her more substantive, more knowledgeable and more capable in the general-election fight. It really helps to be tested in the primary and caucus season. It's a great warm-up for the general election — and it's one of the few big advantages you can't buy." True — as long as the fight isn't vicious and long, in which case, as James A. Johnson, who managed Walter F. Mondale's 1984 campaign, argues, "The strong field emphasizes everybody's weakness, because a strong field is about differentiation." Still, the Republicans seem to be seeking the presence of someone else. This new figure — and his or her identity still seems unknown — would have plenty to run on, the bin Laden episode notwithstanding. The public is frantic about gasoline prices, which are in the $4-per-gallon range. Personal experience seems at odds with official figures showing a low inflation rate, with lettuce up 27 percent in a year and coffee up 11 percent. The success against alQaida hasn't brought any sense of bipartisanship to Capitol Hill, nor any realistic prospect of attacking a deficit that seems incomprehensible and a set of entitlements that seem insupportable. So while the president isn't home free yet, the Republican search continues. Republicans control 29 of the nation's governors' offices, but none besides Daniels is widely known. The situation is the same in the Senate, where Rand Paul of Kentucky and Marco Rubio of Florida are perhaps the most appealing names, but Rubio has stepped aside and Dr. Paul knows that his father is a likely candidate. So for now — perhaps for a while — the GOP wait continues. David Shribman is executive editor of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette. The Pulitizer Prize-winning journalist has a vacation home in Kearsarge.

Pandora a loving and nurturing teacher To the editor: It is our pleasure here at Conway Head Start to share with the community a member of our team that has truly out-shined and gone above and beyond. For the past 28 years we have had Joanne Pandora here at our site, starting as assistant teacher, and then moving to the lead position for the past eleven years. Joanne first came to the Head Start program when her children enrolled in the preschool. She volunteered daily, and quickly became a part of the preschool family. Over the years Joanne has seen the changes, growth, and many evolving aspects to the Head Start program. She has seen many children grow and become successful adults, and has even had the joy of teaching the children of her past preschool children! Joanne has been a loving
and nurturing teacher in the classroom, and a support to many families over the years. Her care and encouragement to all have not gone unnoticed, and many seek out the program in Conway specifically to have Miss Joanne as their child’s teacher! She has been, and will continue to be a mentor, guide and rock for the rest of the staff in Conway, as well as the families she has served! We all appreciate the hard work and dedication she has given this program for the past 28 years, and will miss her tremendously. Joanne, thank you and we wish you happiness and success in your next endeavor! The families and staff of the Conway Head Start site. If you wish to send any wishes or thoughts along to Joanne please call the site at 447-5161. Lisa Wedge Conway Head Start
Do research carefully from factual sources To the editor: Can Obama be pressured to tell the truth? Yes. Why did he take so long? Donald Trump finally did it. That he had to do it is the tragedy of this presidency. What it all proves is that your vote is very precious,
serious business. Know whom you are electing. Do your research carefully from factual trusted sources. It’s a hard consuming job. Your values and worldview are critical to the process. Ron Figuly Wolfeboro

BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
CONWAY — In the fall of 2005, prior to the start of their middle school careers at Kennett, Henney Sullivan and Peter Grzesik met for the first time. It was on the soccer field where they were smart enough to pair up for a soccer drill. The two have been good friends ever since, and it seems fitting that they will share center stage at Kennett High graduation on June 18. Sullivan, who lives in Eaton, is valedictorian, and Grzesik, a Madison resident, is salutatorian for the Kennett High Class of 2011. The two will deliver the keynote speeches at graduation. Both students have a long list of achievements while maintaining active schedules both in and out of the classroom. The two members of the National Honor Society are both three-sport athletes with Grzesik participating in soccer, ski jumping and tennis while Sullivan's sports are soccer, cross-country skiing and baseball in the spring.

Grzesik: "I'm still thinking of a topic." What advice do you have for future students at Kennett? Sullivan: "Challenge yourself. For some people that may mean taking a CP (college prep) class.

What three people living or dead throughout history would you like to have dinner with? Sullivan: "I'd probably go with Gandhi; Martin Luther King Jr.; and maybe Abraham Lincoln."

been asked that question before and I never have an answer for it, I'm sorry. I'm not that much of a history person." Who is the person who has influenced you the most? Sullivan: "Probably along with my parents I'd say Mr. Hadam. Another person who I didn't get to mention for my favorite teachers was Mr. (Drew) Inzer our freshman year. When he left a lot of people saw it as our losing a football coach but we were really losing one of the best teachers this school had. He taught freshman year based on the classes. Our class was half general students and half advanced students. He found a way so that he could work with kids who might have had a bit more difficulty learning and make learning about history fun for them as well as finding ways to find extra papers for the advanced students. If that wasn't enough for one or two of the advanced students I read a college research paper for him. He was great. He was the type of teacher who I could just share conversations with. We really lost a great teacher when he left." Grzesik: "My mother has really kind of helped me to challenge myself, but Mr Hadam has helped me find what I want to do, what I like to do. I'd say both of them have helped me a lot." Sullivan: "Mr. Hadam taught me how to think outside, gave me a good person to argue with, showed me a new side. He's very cynical and conservative.

interesting conversations. If not changed my views, he's helped me change the way I think about things and shown me a different view." What are you going to miss the most about Kennett High School? Grzesik: "The people." Sullivan: "Everyone is going to be spreading out." Grzesik: "We've still got the whole summer." What will you miss the least? Sullivan: "The early mornings and the rigid structure. There's a lot more freedom in college to explore the classes you're interested in taking." Grzesik: "You're able to do a little bit more of what you want to do in college I think." Where in the world would you like to visit? Grzesik: "I would love to go to Germany or anywhere in Europe and just take a big ski trip. Ski all the mountains around there would be really great for me." Sullivan: "I've heard some really great things about India just for being a place that never ceases to amaze you for culturally. I'd love to visit everywhere. Living in another country was one of the most influential aspects of my childhood. I love to travel." If you could be principal for the day what would you do? Grzesik: "I really don't know what I'd do." Sullivan: "It's definitely been a mix with this administration. There's been some great things and some bad things." Where would you like to see yourself in 10 years? Sullivan: "I really have no idea. Enjoying myself and doing something I love I hope, but I really have no idea." Grzesik: "I don't know. I don't think I'll know that until it happens." Any final words, parting shots, a

shout out to anyone? Sullivan: "Actually if I was principal for the day, I'd have to say I'd try to find a way to keep the good teachers at Kennett High School, whether it's paying more money or giving them better benefits. There are some great teachers here, but all too often it's kind of a place you can stop for a few years, learn how to teach before moving on to bigger and better places. "For me and what a class means to me, it hasn't been the subject matter. When I took biology I was not interested in the subject at all but it was my favorite class sophomore year because of Mr. Hadam, because of the teacher. The teacher plays a huge role in getting you to enjoy learning and taking an interest in learning the subject. Maybe if we could offer some teachers a little bit more money we could make it a more attractive job option. There have been some great teachers here just come through and left based on the pay and we could also just attract some top quality teachers. There are some top quality teachers here, but there are also some not-so-great teachers here, too."

Carolyn Brown and Bob Therrien honored by state for volunteerism Page 18 — THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Saturday, May 14, 2011
BY TOM EASTMAN THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
CONCORD — Tireless Mount Washington Valley volunteers Carolyn Brown and husband Bob Therrien of Conway were among 12 New Hampshire seniors recognized by Gov. John Lynch and other state officials Tuesday for their volunteer service. The seniors were named this year's recipients of the state's Vaughan Award. “We have a strong spirit of volunteerism here in New Hampshire,” said Lynch, “and the people honored with the Vaughan Awards symbolize that spirit. The efforts of these honorees provide vital support, encouragement and friendship to our aging residents, which help to foster New Hampshire’s high quality of life.” The Joseph D. Vaughan Awards are presented annually to a couple or individuals from each county who are 60 or older and have demonstrated outstanding leadership and volunteer service on behalf of senior citizens across New Hampshire. The award was initiated in 1962 to memorialize the Honorable Joseph D. Vaughan, a New Hampshire legislator. Vaughan was an early advocate for older residents of the state and was instrumental in creating a state agency dedicated to the well being of senior citizens. The awards were presented by Lynch and Health and Human Services Commissioner Nicholas Toumpas, who joined together with State Committee on Aging and EngAGING NH in recognizing the recipients. “These awards salute those who selflessly give of themselves in a caring manner, thereby contributing to the well being of those around them,” said Toumpas. In addition to Brown and Therrien, who were the recipients for Carroll County, others recognized include: Belknap County – Thomas Gallant; Cheshire County – Ken Dale; Coos County – Jeannette and Ernest Nadeau; Grafton County – Daniel Fleetham; Hillsborough County – Dan Hockaday; Merrimack County – Ruth Strickhart; Rockingham County – Ann Kelley; Strafford County – Stan Szabunka; and Sullivan County – Eugene Desjatdins. •••

Brown, a former state representative, and Therrien were nominated by Denise Leighton, interim director of the Vaughan Community Center of North Conway, which houses the town of Conway food pantry and North Conway Day Care. “Robert and Carolyn have stepped up to the plate to be the principle volunteers at the Vaughan Community Services Inc. food pantry which serves over 840 families each year,” wrote Leighton.

responsibility of maintaining a town food pantry. The result has been a significant increase in usage. With the huge increase in demand, Robert and Carolyn have been an invaluable stabilizing force managing the massive logistics of moving a huge volume of food. They have been diligent with record-keeping and tireless stocking shelves. Bottom line: Services to the community have been greatly improved. With Robert and Carolyn as principal volunteers for the food pantry, order became established out of chaos and services to the clientele improved dramatically. With expanded hours and increased demand they helped develop a larger team of dedicated volunteers, and fine tuned the operation making it easier for the volunteers to serve the clients. No small task!” Leighton said the couple have dedicated more than 600 hours to the food pantry. “The food pantry is open seven hours each week, but the work doesn’t stop just because the food pantry is closed. Robert drives to Tamworth once a month to pick up food from USDA program at the CAP office, a 32-mile round trip and never expects to be reimbursed for the cost. They shop at the local grocery stores to pick up items that are not provided through donations and always look for bargains. This results in considerable savings and extends what the food pantry can offer to the clientele,” said Leighton. In addition to the food pantry work, Therrien is actively involved in Meals on Wheels as a driver and trainer for the Gibson Center for Senior Services. The couple is active in charity work for Our Lady of the Mountains Catholic Church. Brown and Therrien also both gather supplies for the Mother Seton House for single pregnant women in need.

Author Douglas Gladstone to talk baseball at White Birch Books Sunday THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Saturday, May 14, 2011— Page 19
BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
CONWAY — Douglas J. Gladstone, author of “A Bitter Cup of Coffee: How MLB & The Players Association Threw 874 Retirees A Curve,” will read excerpts from the book at at White Birch Books in North Conway this Sunday from 2 to 4 p.m. With a foreword written by the Emmy Award-winning broadcast journalist, Dave Marash, "A Bitter Cup of Coffee" tells the true story of a group of former big-league ballplayers denied pensions as a result of the failure of both the league and the union to retroactively amend the vesting requirement change that granted instant pension eligibility to ballplayers in 1980. Prior to that year, ballplayers had to have four years service credit to earn an annuity and medical benefits. Since 1980, however, all that's needed is one day of service credit to qualify for health insurance and 43 days of service credit for a pension. New Hampshire's Jimmy Driscoll is one of those ballplayer sand will appear alongside Gladstone Sunday. Set to turn 67 on
Saturday, Driscoll was a reserve utility infielder who debuted with the Oakland Athletics in June 1970. He also played for the Texas Rangers in 1972. In parts of two seasons, Driscoll got into 36 games and came up to the plate 70 times and collected 10 hits, including one home run.
“My late father took me to the nose-bleed sections in old Shea Stadium. I grew up a Mets fan, but now living in upstate New York you’re either a Yankees or a Red Sox fan.” Gladstone has become friends with some of his former diamond heroes and goes in-depth to tell their story. It's the stories of the likes of Driscoll and Jimmy Qualls, an outfielder and pinch-hitting specialist who broke up Tom Seaver's perfect game bid in the top of the ninth in 1969. There's George "The Stork" Theodore who played the outfield for the Mets in 1973-74, but is probably best remembered for a brutal outfield collision with Don Hahn in a game
against the Atlanta Braves at Shea Stadium in 1973, in which Theodore dislocated his hip People may also recall David Clyde, who was a high school phenom rushed to the majors by the Texas Rangers where he played parts of five seasons before an arm injury ended his carer at age 26. None of these players are receiving their just financial and medical dues, according to Gladstone. "I saw it as a real injustice, pick your adverb, a travesty," Gladstone, who lives in upstate New York, said by phone Thursday. "This book was a labor of love to baseball fan who has followed the the game for 44 years. This was a way for me to give back to some of the heroes of my youth. I was lucky to develop a lot of friendships from this." This was Gladstone's first book. The 1982 Boston University journalism graduate said he's been a baseball fan since the age of 7. "My late father took me to the nosebleed sections in old Shea Stadium," he said laughing. "I grew up a Mets fan, but now living in upstate New York you're either a Yankees or a Red Sox fan." see next page

It is not unusual for either of them to be called to assist a person in the community with a problem,” said Leighton. “They quietly go about solving the problem whether it is for a veteran or just someone who needs some assistance in understanding a bill or something from the bank. Their assistance runs the gambit. They are extremely kind-hearted people who have a terrible time saying no when they are aware of a problem within the community.”

The book came about when Gladstone's wife asked him what was next after he'd just gotten a feature article published in the Chicago Sun Times about the late "MASH" creator Larry Gilbert. "She said, 'OK, hot shot, what are you going to do for an encore,'" Gladstone recalled. "This was in May of 2009 and the only real interest I could think of at the time was it being the 40th anniversary of Jimmy Qualls getting the hit off Tom Seaver to break up his perfect game. I pitched the idea to Baseball Digest and it went from there." In interviews with Qualls, Gladstone learned the former big leaguer was getting little to no support from Major League Baseball. There was a recent joint announcement by both Major League Baseball (MLB) and the Major League Baseball Players' Association (MLBPA) that inactive, non-vested men who played between 1947 and 1979 will receive up to $10,000 per year, depending on their length of service credit, as compensation for their contributions to the national pastime, but Gladstone insists that's not fair compensation for the players of yesteryear. "I don’t know many people, especially in this economy, who would thumb their noses at an extra $10,000 per year, it is still a drop in the bucket, given the scale of this game," he said. "In my opinion
MLB is looking to take the easy way out. If you look in the dictionary for the meaning of the word appeasement under the definition, right next door to the picture of Neville Chamberlain you'll see MLB commissioner Bud Selig and MLB player' union head Michael Weiner." Under MLB's weighted payment scale, Gladstone said Clyde would receive about $9,800 while Driscoll would get in the neighborhood of $3,000. "It creates a vast disparity here, plus it doesn't provide health insurance; it doesn't provide benefits to spouses," Gladstone said and pointed out if Clyde were to receive retroactive compensation it would be in the vicinity of $900,000. In today's game, if a player makes it to the Majors for just one day, even if he sits on the bench and never sees action, he becomes eligible to buy into MLB's health plan. Also, if you're on the roster with the big league club for 43 game days, again even if you don't play, you'll receive a pension from the league. "MLB and the union are throwing a bone to these guys," Gladstone said. "These guys helped grow the game to where it is today. Today's ballplayers owe their salaries to the Jimmy Driscolls of yesterday." On Sunday, Gladstone will also be available to sign copies of the book for all those individuals who purchase it that afternoon, and he's happy to talk baseball.

Church Pond in May. (ED PARSONS PHOTO)
Shortly after this hike in 2008, I tried to do a steep bushwhack ascent of Mount Lowell from Carrigan Notch. On a lower brook, I slipped on a wet log, slightly sprained my right calf, and soon headed back down. In a month, I came back and did the climb. It was a memorable steep bushwhack. In May of 2009, according to my photos, I only did a couple hikes. One was to the Tuckerman Ravine Bowl with an old friend from my home town of Beverly, Mass. The lower Tuck Trail was dry, and we didn’t hit snow until after the Connection (first aid) Cache, just below the headwall. The Snow Arch in the bowl hadn’t formed yet. It was late in the ski season, but a few die-hards were in the ravine, dodging crevasses and skiing the lower headwall. We left
our packs on a flat boulder next to some skiers, climbed up a way in the spring corn snow, and slid down. The ravine was a great place to take my old acquaintance. This is a highly recommended hike this time of year. The crowds on the Tuck Trail have lessened considerably since the Inferno race. It is warmer, yet the spirit of winter lingers in the ravine for a little longer. This hike starts at the AMC Pinkham Notch Camp on Route 16. Another hike I did in May 2009 was the 2.8 mile Church Pond Loop, located off the Kancamagus Highway, and starting in the Passaconaway Campground. It is difficult to do this time of year, and begins with a fording of a branch of the Swift River. After see next page

in the lodge over the years, including Fryeburg’s Peter Samuelson, who first came into the lodge on a sled as a baby. He spent a few years there. His parents were the first to run the lodge year round. For a great history of the Ravine Lodge, look at the film “An Unlikely Cathedral” on YouTube. Over in Evans Notch, the hike up East Royce was steep yet quick on the 1.5 mile trail from near the height of land in Evans Notch. The view of a snowy Mount Washington from the summit was great. The bushwhack traverse of South Baldface was fascinating, and I wrote about it more thoroughly in my column that week. I turned onto the Bicknell Ridge Trail from the Baldface Circle Trail, and when I saw the exfoliating dome of granite on the east ridge through the tiny beech leaves of spring, I turned off the trail and headed for it. Later, I bushwhacked down the south side of the granite summit and took the Slippery Brook Trail back down the east side. The 5.1 mile Weeks Brook Trail is one of the best ways to climb Mount Kearsarge North. Those who have done the Mount Kearsarge North Trail for many years, should try it. When you are heading for the standard trail on Hurricane Mountain Road, take stock for a moment and think about finally doing the Weeks Brook Trail. If you decide is a go, drive over Hurricane Mountain Road, take a left for 0.4 miles to the fire road into the parking lot. Relax, and take your time. You have all day. Finally, reality hits in late May when the bugs come out. When I did Black Cap via the 4 mile Black Cap Connector Trail, starting at the Pudding Pond parking lot on Thompson Road, both the black flies and mosquitoes were at their height. Not a big fan of bug dope, I moved fast, and kept brushing my upper body with my T-shirt. In the bright sun on the summit, they went away. Hit the trail in May. Don’t miss it. I won’t.

reaching the loop junction, one can either take the dryer route to the left directly to the pond, or through a bog on the right hand loop. I went to the right, and had an interesting time on old boards getting to the pond. The pond is quiet and beautiful. Presently, the forest service is seriously thinking of decommissioning the right hand loop trail through the bog. You will still be able to get to the pond on the other trail. May 2010 was a busy hiking month for me according to my photos. I climbed Mount Moosilaukee for only the second time, East Royce in Evans Notch, a bushwhack traverse of South Baldface also in Evans Notch, the seldom used Weeks Brook Trail on Mount Kearsarge North, and Black Cap above North Conway. Long before that, not long after 9/11, three of us climbed Mount Moosilaukee from the north, up the Beaver Brook Trail. I was impressed by the bare summit, and the mountain’s history. Since then, the mountain has literally been on my far horizon. I had never been to Dartmouth’s Ravine Lodge on the south side of the mountain. Finally I went. I drove in the ravine lodge road from Route 118. I parked above the lodge, headed out on the trail and soon connected with the Gorge Brook Trail, the most direct way to the top. Memorable parts of the hike include reaching the tundra, admiring the yellow/green of new leaves on the lower slopes of the surrounding mountains as they slowly crept upward, completing a loop hike from the top by heading south on the snowy Glen Cliff Trail, then down the Mount Moosilaukee Carriage Road and the Snapper Trail back to a bridge over the young Baker River near the Ravine Lodge. I walked up to my car through the yard of the lodge, and met some Dartmouth students doing spring cleanup. I’ve known a few people involved

part of the overall structure of the forest ecosystem and is the foundation of the whole process. So, as you recognize cavity trees as valuable in the cycle, so also should you affirm the value of down wood as on its way back into the living overstory we call the forest. I wrote an article in Birders World a few years back on cavity nesters. Interesting to me was that potential cavity trees at the banks of streams or edges of ponds or lakes seem to be preferred by virtually all primary cavity excavators. Leaning trees over water may be attractive but I believe it is the rotting activity caused by waters rising over the trees’ roots that sets up their preference. Canoe camping in wild areas where cavity trees exist at the water’s edge sets up some thrilling experiences. Numerous tree swallows and cliff swallows will hunt from here, searching for insects over nearby surface waters, and bats come out at night to do the same. Roost trees are used by bats for maternity leave. The ultimate camping experience on Squam for me, was waking up one morning to see a pileated woodpecker hammering away at a small, decaying red maple, about 6-8 feet up the trunk. Scarcely twenty feet away, it went on with its work as I lay on the ground in my sleeping bag and enjoyed this morning wake-up call. The large, crow-sized woodpecker frequently works at this height because open wounds occur at the base of live trees, and decay spreads upward.

Janet’s picture has been publicized. Several years ago Janet was a calendar girl. On one of our trips out west we made a float trip on the South Fork of the Snake River. Our guide was an aspiring photographer and took many photos during the trip one of the photos made it into a fly fishing calendar. The funny thing was that even though the calendar was sold in the shop she had no idea the picture was in it. At the end of the year there were only a couple of the calendars left in the shop and Janet threw them out as they were long past their selling season. No sooner had the calendars hit the trash bin a fellow came in the shop and showed Janet the picture and asked if it was indeed her. She immediately went to the trash and fished out one of the calendars. The picture was framed and hangs on the wall in our home. So now she has the distinction of being both a calendar girl and a cover girl. Weather or not she will ever show up as a centerfold is still up in the air. See you on the river.

D.C. Bianchino pitches his play ‘You Can't Stop the Music’ to the valley tonight CONWAY — Visit M&D Productions' Your Theatre at Willow Common in North Conway for the opportunity to Saturday, May 14
the public will have the opportunity to hear about local playwright, poet and musician D.C. Bianchino's play "You Can't Stop the Music" at 7 p.m. It is the hope of both M&D and Bianchino to stir up enough local interest in this play to mount a full production in the near future. "One of the chief complaints actors have is not really knowing what the writer was thinking when he wrote a certain scene or scripted some dialogue," artistic director Ken Martin said. "Or that not enough local writers are being represented in local venues. Well, here is your opportunity to hear first-hand what the writer envisions, and get a glimpse of a new and original local work." Eight years ago, Bianchino first approached M&D Productions about reading and possibly producing his original play. After reading what was a very rough manuscript, Martin sent Bianchino back to the drawing board, telling him he needed to put the manuscript in play format and create a score for all this music which was rolling around in his head. Endless hours and many revisions later Bianchino and local musician Owen Conforte have written a play and score to pitch to the valley. Bianchino will present his work a story about Adam and Eve reuniting in a coffee shop nearly five thousand years after that fateful event which led to their expulsion. "It is a story filled with music, poetry and philosophy," Bianchino said. "An exploration of time, and life and the relationship lessons they can teach all of us." Tickets to this staged reading will be by donation only and reservations can be made by calling Your Theatre at 662-7591.

Parishioners of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Church buy Mother’s Day flowers to support Mother Seton House

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

DILBERT
by Scott Adams
By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your public reputation gets a boost. It’s about time you were recognized for all you do. If you can find a way to subtly broadcast your newfound fame to your private sector, you’ll be boosted on many levels. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). A match of strengths will be played out in today’s drama. It’s you against someone with powers very different from yours. Here’s what determines the winner: Physical assets will be neutralized by mental prowess. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Whom you like and who likes you will drive the main action of the day. Your loving feelings, mostly platonic, cause you to do something you wouldn’t do if you didn’t care. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The one you admire takes a surprising turn. You enjoy the adventure of following someone so unpredictable. In a strange way, it makes you feel grounded. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You like to learn that a change is coming. You just don’t want anyone to spring the change on you at the last second. The one who gives you fair warning will win your loyalty. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 14). You empty your mind of all fantasies about what this year will be like, and in floods a year so ecstatically unpredictable that you couldn’t have imagined it. You’ll open a grand present. Your ancestors will join the next generation to praise you in June. Technology changes life for the better in July. September brings remarkable kisses. Leo and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 9, 47, 33 and 1.
Cul de Sac
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Continue your work on a project, finding ways to get around financial barriers. It’s not the money but the effort you put in that will earn you a certain standing and reputation. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Study and cultural exploration will bring you good fortune. You will feel determined to do your own unbiased research, and you will refrain from forming an opinion until you have all the facts. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Pursue what’s dear to your heart, even if it doesn’t happen to be realistic. Happily, your standard for realism is stricter than that of those who are in a position to grant your wild wishes. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ve said the wrong thing at the wrong moment before and learned from the experience. Now someone else is saying the wrong thing, and you’ll have the kind of compassion that could only come from one who’s been there. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Ask questions. You’ll be surprised what information others are willing to give you. You flatter them with the attention. You may very well be the only one who is asking. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You possess style and flair that don’t cost extra dollars, though they do take a great deal of time -- time that you’re willing to put in because you love the reaction you get when you walk into a room. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your gracious style of communicating is almost never loud and sassy. However, you’ll be near someone who triggers rather unusual behavior from you. You feel so unlike yourself!

Today is Saturday, May 14, the 134th day of 2011. There are 231 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On May 14, 1811, Paraguay achieved independence from Spain with the bloodless overthrow of the country’s royal governor. On this date: In 1643, Louis XIV became King of France at age four upon the death of his father, Louis XIII. In 1796, English physician Edward Jenner inoculated 8-year-old James Phipps against smallpox by using cowpox matter. In 1804, the Lewis and Clark expedition to explore the Louisiana Territory as well as the Pacific Northwest left camp near presentday Hartford, Ill. In 1860, the first Japanese diplomatic mission to the United States arrived in Washington. In 1900, the Olympic games opened in Paris, held as part of the 1900 World’s Fair.

In 1961, Freedom Riders were attacked by violent mobs in Anniston and Birmingham, Ala. In 1973, the United States launched Skylab 1, its first manned space station. In 1998, singer-actor Frank Sinatra died at a Los Angeles hospital at age 82. The hit sitcom “Seinfeld” aired its final episode after nine years on NBC. One year ago: President Barack Obama heatedly condemned what he called a “ridiculous spectacle” of oil executives shifting blame for the BP oil spill in congressional hearings and denounced a “cozy relationship” between their companies and the federal government. NBC canceled the long-running crime/courtroom drama “Law & Order” after 20 seasons on the air. Today’s Birthdays: Opera singer Patrice Munsel is 86. Sen. Byron Dorgan, D-N.D., is 69.

She prides herself on being friendly and outgoing. When we’re in a restaurant, she’ll go from table to table and engage in conversations with people she doesn’t know. She’ll ask where they’re from, what they’ve ordered, etc. Once, she eavesdropped while the people at the next table discussed what they were ordering and gave them her opinion on what they should “really” order. It progressed to her joining them for a short time at their table for further conversation. While I appreciate that she’s trying to impress us, it embarrasses my husband and me. How do we handle the situation without telling her, making her feel bad and putting a strain on our friendship? We don’t enjoy dining out with them like we used to. Are we overreacting, or is this bad manners? -MORTIFIED IN SALT LAKE CITY DEAR MORTIFIED: If you and your husband are dinner guests, the lady should be devoting her attention to you and not the other diners in the restaurant. To leave you and go table-hopping is rude. However, to call her on it would be equally rude. So, because you don’t enjoy dining out with them the way you used to, do it less often and it will be less upsetting. DEAR ABBY: How can we convince our married daughter with children to seek a separation or divorce from her husband, who is physically, mentally and economically abusive to her and the kids? We believe she’s suffering from low selfesteem, depression and other issues she can’t resolve with him. She has had to borrow what little money we can spare to buy food, school clothing and other basics. Her husband be-
lieves she should be working, taking care of an infant and an older child, paying for day care, half the bills and mortgage. Abby, this man has an income in the lower six figures! We suggested therapy, but it was ignored. He blames everything on her. There is so much more to this story, but it would take up 10 of your columns. Please help. -- DESPERATE DAD IN CALIFORNIA DEAR DESPERATE: A lawyer could point out to your daughter that she lives in a community property state, and half of what her husband has accumulated during the marriage is hers. A social worker could warn her that abuse doesn’t remain static, that it can escalate to violence if it hasn’t already. Statistics could illustrate that men who abuse their wives often go on to abuse their children. There is much that could be done, but not until or unless your daughter is willing to admit to herself that she is the victim of spousal abuse and take action. DEAR ABBY: My mother-in-law, “Kay” -- who is in her 50s -- dresses like she’s in her teens or 20s. Don’t get me wrong, she looks great. She exercises several hours a day to keep in shape and follows a strict diet. Kay wears spaghetti-strap shirts and short skirts in the summer, and bikinis to sunbathe. I understand that she wants to show off her body, but is there a way to direct her to more age-appropriate clothing? Or am I in the wrong here? -- PRIM AND PROPER IN OKLAHOMA DEAR PRIM AND PROPER: You are well-intentioned, but if you are wise, you will refrain from giving your mother-inlaw any unasked-for fashion advice. How she dresses is her business, not yours, and I seriously doubt your comments would be welcomed.

Adopt-a-Pumpkin at North Conway Library
CONWAY — Back by popular demand, the North Conway Public Library is preparing to hold its third annual pumpkin fundraiser in May. If you’ve ever wanted to be the proud parent of a huge championship pumpkin, here’s your big chance. This year’s seeds have been donated from a world class pumpkin grower from Goffstown. For a small donation you will receive: • A healthy pumpkin plant in a 6 inch pot with a blue ribbon pedigree. • A birth certificate. • Growing directions. • Community newsletter with the Pumpkin Patch Gossip column. • A hotline for emergencies. • Pumpkin Support Group for emotional and technical help. • Directions for entry to the Fryeburg Fair for hard core competitors.
• A DVD on how to grow your pumpkin that you can borrow from the library. Pumpkin plants are limited and competition was fierce last year, so reserve your plant ahead of time. If you order ahead, each pumpkin will cost $12. For those who wait until the pumpkins arrive, each will cost $15. Reservations can be made at the North Conway Public Library. Call the library 356-2961, or contact Dick McClure at 356-5085 or email him at mcclure_r@usa.net. Starter plants and materials will be available at the end of May. If you reserve your plant early, you will be contacted by email or phone when the plants are ready for adoption. Adopt one for yourself, your children, grandchildren, or a special friend. Help the library and have fun with this project.

Albany Civic Group annual meeting May 19
Good news from the selectmen’s office: Another two building permits were issued. That bodes well for Albany and the economy. Bad news from the selectmen’s office: Albany was not awarded the Scenic Byways grant and Rob Nadler noted that the land governance board would not reapply as they did not think it would help. Jack reported that an extension on the Kennett agreement was received. We now have until Sept. 12. At the meeting, Steve Knox reported on the planning board survey results. It appears that Albany property owners want little or no growth and no industrial sites. Steve suggested that Charlie French of UNH Extension come and speak with the selectmen, the planning board and the land governance board. Charlie is an expert in community sustainability and economic development. The board agreed to the idea. The selectmen expressed their grief to Donna Urey and her family at the passing of David Urey, a former selectman. David served as selectman from 1998 to 2001. In 1999 David donated his selectman’s salary to the purchase of the Albany town sign on Route 16 at the border of Tamworth. For this and all his other contributions to the town, the people of Albany express their gratitude as well as their condolences to the Urey family. On Thursday, friends and family gathered at the funeral home to pay their respects to the family. Alongside Donna were her two sons, Brian from Cali-
fornia and Darby from Maine. The Albany Civic Group and the Lora Johnson Pierce Scholarship Fund will hold their yearly meeting on Thursday, May 19, at 7 p.m. at the town hall. All Albany ladies are members and you are urged to attend. This is where the Albany scholarship is decided and functions for the year are established. Tin Mountain: The 13th annual meeting and field day will be held next Saturday, May 21, at the center. This is an all day affair, with speakers, nature field trips awards and lunch. Gibson Center: Monday, after lunch, members of the Brunswick, Maine Senior Center will present, Originalia, five original comic life situations. Members of this group range in age from 65 to 95. Tuesday at 12:30 p.m. Ryan, a sports therapy major, will make a presentation on ways to improve balance. On Wednesday, Alice Clapp will offer dance instruction. UNH Extension: Beginning Thursday, May 19, and continuing each Thursday at 6:30 p.m. a workshop for parents of young and school age children at the Extension’s Conway location. To register call 447-3824. Library: On Monday the Morning Book Group will discuss “Still Alice” by Lisa Genova at 10:15 am.

Awakening the Dreamer, Changing the Dream Symposium May 16-17
Awakening the Dreamer, Changing the Dream Symposium is being sponsored by Conway Public Library and The Center for Natural Health on Monday May 16 (part 1) and Tuesday, May 17 (part 2) at the Conway Public Library from 6 to 8 p.m. to explore a new global and local vision built on sustainability, spiritual fulfillment and social justice. This symposium is inspired by indigenous people of the rainforest of Ecuador and Peru and the Pachamama Alliance of San Francisco, Calif. This symposium is for individuals who care about what is happening in the world, our communities and our families. As part of the agenda of the presentation, we will examine our biggest challenges and opportunities today: 1) The state of the industrial and nonindustrial worlds and the thinking that brought us where we are now, 2) A new dream: new ideas about what really matters — leading us to deep connections and surprising solutions, 3) How everyone can be a part of what has been emerging at this time. Through the symposium, individuals will have an opportunity to 1. Reconnect deeply with the scope, complexity and urgency of the issues facing our fragile planet; 2. Challenge GREEN from page 39

Led by trained volunteer facilitators (Becky Mulkern ND and Diane Dechape), the symposium uses inspiring short films and video clips, information from some of the world’s most respected scientists and thinkers, the insights and wisdom of indigenous peoples, and includes dynamic group interactions that allow participants to gain new insights into a worldview that can shape and change the direction of life on this planet. Participants will be left informed and empowered to make their own choices about how to respond and what actions to take. People from all walks of life can find common ground and enact new possibilities.

REAL ESTATE CORNER
HOME OF THE WEEK
State of the valley BY LINDA WALKER You have to agree that when you start something off with “state of the...” it just sounds more important! There is no question real estate is important, and I wanted to bring you up to date on how we are faring nationwide and in relation to other counties across the state. According to the National Association of Realtors, existing-home sales were on the rise during the first quarter of 2011. Lawrence Yun, association's chief economist, is quoted as saying, "The rising sales trend in nearly all states is a part of the healing process to clear off inventory. Sales need to rise before prices can firm up." Although nationally, the Northeast saw the smallest increase in existing-home sales over a year ago, it is encouraging to see the South and Midwest seeing increases of roughly 8 percent. The West experienced the biggest rise, jumping 13.5 percent. National Association of Realtors' president Ron Phipps, broker-president of Phipps Realty in Warwick, R.I., feels distressed property sales could be a key to recovery. "The good news is foreclosures, which account for two-thirds of all distressed homes sold, are selling very quickly," he said. "Short sales still take far too long to get lender approval, but it appears the inventory of distressed property is peaking and will be gradually declining next year. This means the market should slowly return to balance. We are encouraged that recent home buyers are having exceptionally low default rates." Yun also noted, "The biggest sales increase has been in the lower price ranges, which are popular with investors and cash buyers. The preponderance of sales activity at the lower end is bringing down the median price, so what we're seeing is the result of a change in the composition of home sales." In New Hampshire, and more specifically right here in Carroll County, we are seeing a strong increase in units sold and median sales price over this same period last year. There were 138 units sold in the first quarter of this year representing a 29 percent increase over last year. The median sales price also jumped 19 percent to $186,250 through February of this year. Source: Peter Francese peter@francese.com We can take some pride in the activities in our immediate area as well. Over the past 12 months we have seen a rise in activity that not only spurs on the local real estate agents, but should also give some confidence to those trying to sell or thinking of buying a home in the area. In the last year, there has been a “sale a day” in the Conway area: 365 sales total (including condos and homes) between Conway (167), Bartlett (129), Madison (50) and Jackson (19). And we’re not alone. Seven other counties saw unit sales increases in February compared to a year ago including a 42 percent jump in Coos County and 38 percent in Belknap. Median prices only saw increases in four of the counties. Source: New Hampshire Association of Realtors/ Northern New England Real Estate Network I know this is a sentiment that we have been echoing for months now, but the market is ripe for some strong sales activity. Inventory is still high, interest rates are very low and pricing is competitive. There really are some amazing see CORNER page 47

If you want to see how quickly you can ruin a great credit score, just skip a mortgage payment. Lenders use credit scores to measure how you handle debt. The number you’ll see most often is your FICO score. It runs from 300 to 850. The major credit reporting bureaus developed a rival, VantageScore, with scores from 501 to 990. Missed mortgage payments, serious loan delinquencies, loan modifications, short sales, foreclosures and bankruptcies all drag down credit scores. Because a mortgage is such a big slice of anyone’s credit profile, it carries more weight than other loans. Both FICO and VantageScore have studied and quantified those impacts. They reached similar conclusions: for people with near-perfect records, a single mortgage payment that’s 30 days late reduces a credit score enough to hurt. For anyone, a short sale — selling a home for less than the amount owed — can be almost as destructive as a foreclosure. In contrast, a loan modification — when the lender approves new loan terms — can have a “very, very minimal” effect, said Sarah Davies, the senior vice president for analytics at VantageScore. In some cases, the borrower’s score might drop 10 or 15 points. With a loan modification, said Joanne Gaskin, the director of global scoring solutions at FICO, “the consumer does not have to go delinquent to get assistance.”
Modification horror stories abound; some borrowers have been told they can’t be helped unless they’ve already missed payments. That doesn’t have to be the case, said Josh Zinner, the co-director of the Neighborhood Economic Development Advocacy Project, a New York City nonprofit company active in foreclosure prevention. The government-backed Home Affordable Modification Program, known as HAMP, specifically permits modifications for borrowers who can document hardship like a job loss, Zinner said. “What we advise people in New York to do,” he said, “is reach out to a nonprofit loan counselor or to Legal Services in order to get a modification with a servicer.” It’s not a perfect solution — HAMP has been criticized for not helping enough borrowers. There are plenty of paperwork hassles, and points in the process where credit scores are in peril. Still, because of “some really profound consequences” to bad credit, modification is worth pursuing, he said. Employers increasingly check credit. Housing options may be limited. “Virtually all landlords look at credit,” he said, adding that getting a mortgage can be difficult. Car loan and credit card costs jump. In a study last month, FICO looked at how choices would affect three hypothetical mortgage holders: One with a spotless 780 score; another with a good 720, who may have missed a couple of credit card payments three years ago; a third with a not-great, not-toxic 680, who has sometimes fallen seriously see next page

Despite meltdown, owners still value home investment Despite the prolonged housing dip, the American pubic still is high on housing. Eight in 10 (81 percent) of adults agree that buying a home is the best long-term investment a person can make, according to a survey by the Pew Research Center. The survey shows respondents are not oblivious to what's happened to housing during the past half-decade, however. Of the 1,222 homeowners surveyed (out of 2,142 total adults), nearly half (47 percent) say their home is worth less now than before the recession began, and 31 percent say its value has remained the same. Just 17 percent of respondents say their home is worth more now than when the recession began. Among the respondents who concede that their homes have lost value, 86 percent expect it will take at least three from preceding page

(Most lenders consider poor credit about 650 and below, Gaskin said.) * 30 days late: The gold-plated 780 drops to 670-690, the middling 720 becomes 630650, and 680 is now 600-620. Effects are most significant for the strongest borrower. “A continued progression is going to have less and less impact on a
years for values to return to pre-recession levels; 42 percent expect it will take at least six years; and 10 percent say it will take more than 10 years. Beyond that, 82 percent of owners who say their home lost value still strongly (37 percent) or somewhat (45 percent) agree that homeownership remains the best long-term investment. About half (49 percent) of owners whose homes gained value during the recession strongly agree with the sentiment. Homeowners as a whole are more positive than renters about the financial wisdom of owning. Forty-one percent of homeowners strongly agree that a home is the best long-term investment a person can make, compared with 31 percent of renters. Just 24 percent of renters say they rent out of choice; 81 percent say they one day would like to buy.

The 780 score deteriorates to 655-675; 720 to 605-625; 680 to 610-630. * Foreclosure, or short

As we all know, this is a slow time of the year for tourism. “Mud season,” as it is affectionately referred, is a time when you can cross the streets without looking both ways (OK, not really!), take a hike off the Kanc. without seeing another soul on the trails and even take a drive up Route 16 on a Friday afternoon without overheating your 1985 pickup! We all know that soon enough the streets will be “refilled” and we will welcome our seasonal friends with open arms.

Better to rent or buy? BY PETER G. MILLER CTW FEATURES
The historic Pines Lodge and Motel in Redstone was demolished this past week, leaving an empty lot and little sign that the buildings ever existed. The lodge once housed workers of the Redstone Quarry. Owner of the property is Pines Lodge Realty Trust, and trustee Tom Daly’s parents once ran the lodge and motel. The motel was last used in 2001, and the lodge in 1998. The cleared lot is for sale. (JAMIE GEMMITI PHOTOS)

QUESTION: Given real estate values and marketplace uncertainty isn’t it better to rent than to buy? ANSWER: This question arises with increasing frequency. To provide a sure answer is to claim knowledge of the future, something that can’t be done. What can be done is to consider what we do know: First, there’s no single or simple answer. What’s true in one market may not be true in another. Second, people have to live somewhere. While the population is growing there’s relatively little new home construction and we see changing housing patterns. Increasingly adult children are moving back in with Mom and Dad after graduating college and the formation of new families is being delayed. Third, if the argument is that renting is now a
better option than owning, does that also mean now is a better time to be a real estate investor because of rising rental demand? Reis, Inc. reports for the first half of 2010 that apartment vacancies fell. For specifics regarding population, job and vacancy trends in your market speak with local real estate brokers and community development offices. QUESTION: Our usual property tax is about $4,000 a year. Our lender’s year-end 1098 form says we only paid $2,000 but local records show the tax was fully paid. Where’s the rest? ANSWER: Most likely you refinanced toward the end of the year and a semiannual tax payment was made at closing. Check your HUD-1 from closing for the missing payment and also if prepaid interest or points were paid. Speak with a tax professional for specifics. © CTW Features

Dealing with higher costs of FHA loans BY MARYANN HAGGERTY NEW YORK TIMES
The increased cost of FHA mortgages has shifted the math a bit for would-be borrowers. A home buyer with a down payment of less than 20 percent generally has to pay up in some other way to ensure that lenders are protected against default. (This requirement slipped during the housing boom; see “financial crisis.”) The most popular low-down-payment loans have been those insured by the Federal Housing Administration. Borrowers can make down payments as low as 3.5 percent; they pay an upfront fee (often rolled into the loan) and a monthly premium. An alternative is private mortgage insurance, or PMI, available to those who put down at least 5 percent. As the name implies, the insurance is provided by a private company rather than the government. Premiums can be paid up front, each month, or in a mix. The amount of the premium drops as the size of the down payment rises. Use of these loans has fallen off sharply in recent years as the PMI companies tightened standards and FHA gained popularity. Effective on April 18, FHA’s annual premium on a 30-year loan rose to 1.1 or 1.15 percent of the loan value, up from 0.85 or 0.9 percent. (The higher rates are for down payments below 5 percent.) On a $400,000 loan with the minimum down payment, that’s $83 more per month. The monthly fee is in addition to the up-front premium, equal to 1 percent of the loan value. Which loan to go with may depend on the answer to a question: “how long is it going to take to recoup that 1 percent up front?” said Matt Hackett, an underwriting manager at Equity Now, a direct mortgage lender based in New York. In the first quarter, 17.7 percent of new loans were FHA, according to Inside Mortgage Finance, an industry data provider, while PMI had a 5.4 percent market share. Applications for FHA loans

jumped 20 percent in the month preceding the price increase, then tumbled when it went into effect, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association. In addition to lower minimum down-payment requirements, FHA has laxer rules for credit scores and debt-to-income ratios. Right now, it also has lower interest rates, said Thatcher Zuse, the president of Sound Mortgage, a lender and broker in Guilford, Conn. “Almost as a rule, as the rates stand right now, the less equity you’re putting down, the better the FHA deal becomes.” Mr. Zuse ran the numbers for two buyers able to put 5 percent down. For a buyer with a 780 credit score, the cost difference between FHA and PMI was negligible, but a buyer with a 650 score could save about $200 a month on a $400,000 FHA loan. There are circumstances peculiar to the New York area that could push a borrower to FHA, said Robert Donovan, a Bank of America senior vice president and regional sales executive. For one thing, the region has a high concentration of two- to four-unit homes, popular with buyers who want to live in one apartment while renting out another. Loans in such cases are treated much more liberally by FHA, he said. The same goes for new-construction condominiums of any size: until more than half a project is sold, conventional loans may not be an option. FHAbacked loans are available even if as little as 30 percent of the project is sold, Mr. Donovan said. In the broadest terms, for someone with no special circumstances, great credit and a more-thanminimum down payment — say, 10 or 15 percent — PMI may turn out to be the better deal. Someone with weaker credit or less cash may find FHA works better. To generalize, “if you qualify for PMI,” Mr. Hackett said, “you should usually choose the PMI, because it is going to be less.” Circumstances vary, though, so ask any lender to produce a written comparison, said Michael Moskowitz, the president of Equity Now, “just to keep the lender honest.”

FRIENDS from page 3
At the arraignment the prosecutor said Ferguson received gas money from Papile for giving him a ride back to Ossipee, as well as drugs. Again, she didn’t specify if either had been Dittmeyer’s. There is no indication in the documents that Ferguson talked with Papile or Petelis about their plan to rob Dittmeyer, but very little of the evidence in the case has been made public. Eldridge is confident, however, when that evidence becomes public it will show that his friend wasn’t a co-conspirator. “They should lower the charges,” he said. Ferguson would never have been a part of a robbery, he said. “He had nothing to do with it.” Others say the same thing about Papile. “Tony would never do anything to hurt anyone,” said Brianne Barland, 19, from Ossipee. “He is like the nicest guy I’ve ever known.” She pointed the finger at the third man involved, Petelis, who she also knows. “I believe Mike would have done it, but not Tony,” she said. Petelis allegedly lured Dittmeyer to his Ossipee apartment on Friday, April 22. Court documents say it was he and Papile together who planned the robbery, and that although it was Papile who hit Dittmeyer in the head and dumped her body both men bound her with duct tape. Petelis has a history of violence to go along with his criminal record, Papile’s friends point out, while Papile does not. "A thief doesn't equal a murderer," said Holly West, a close friend of Papile's. "He got caught up in a very bad situation. He's not this kind of guy." But not everyone is so sure Papile is innocent. Eldridge said he was worried when Ferguson started hanging out with Papile because Papile always seemed to be looking for trouble. “I’ve tried warning him,” Eldridge said, referring to Ferguson. "He was in the wrong place at the wrong time."
