Promising cancer testing falls apart

(NY Times) — When Juliet Jacobs found out she had lung cancer, she was terrified, but realized that her hope lay in getting the best treatment medicine could offer. So she got a second opinion, then a third. In February of 2010, she ended up at Duke University, where she entered a research study whose promise seemed stunning. The Duke program — considered a breakthrough at the time — was the first fruit of the new genomics, a way of letting a cancer cell’s own genes reveal the cancer’s weaknesses. But the research at Duke turned out to be wrong. Its gene-based tests proved worthless, and the research behind them was discredited. Ms. Jacobs died a few months after treatment, and her husband and other patients’ relatives are suing Duke. The episode is a stark illustration of serious problems in a field in which the medical community has placed great hope: using patterns from large groups of genes or other molecules to improve the detection and treatment of cancer. Companies have been formed and products have been introduced that claim to use genetics in this way, but assertions have turned out to be unfounded.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. (NY Times) — For the last time, the engines of a space shuttle roared, the ground rumbled, and the shuttle Atlantis rose off the launching pad. By dawn Friday, cars and Winnebagos lined the sides of roadways with prime views as hundreds of thousands of people came to watch the 135th flight in the space shuttle program. The program, which began in 1981, comes to an end when the Atlantis’
Job growth falters badly
(NY Times) — For the second month in a row, employers added barely any jobs in June, showing that the economic recovery has hit a serious speed bump. With all levels of government laying off workers, the Labor Department reported that employers eked out just 18,000 new nonfarm payroll jobs in June. The already low number created in May was also revised downward to a dismally small 25,000 new jobs, less than half of
what was originally reported last month. Although the government’s survey of employers showed them adding jobs, a separate survey of households showed that more people were out of work than in the previous month, causing the unemployment rate to rise to 9.2 percent. Economists were stunned since they had been expecting June to show stronger job creation as oil prices eased and supply disrup-
tions receded in the aftermath of the Japanese tsunami and earthquake. Instead, the government’s monthly snapshot of the labor market showed that several sectors, including construction, finance and temporary services, actually shed workers. At the same time, leading indicators like wages and the length of the average workweek, which tend to grow before employers begin adding more jobs, actually contracted.

The rain stayed away, the clouds thinned, and the countdown, which encountered no significant setbacks, continued. “Good luck, Godspeed and have a little fun up there,” Leinbach said to the crew after his team gave the go-ahead for the final few minutes of countdown.

WASHINGTON (NY Times) — The Speaker of the House, John A. Boehner, said on Friday that no budget deal with President Obama and Congressional Democrats was imminent, while Mr. Obama also acknowledged “real differences” as the leaders prepared for a weekend of further talks. “I’m ready to roll up my sleeves over the next several weeks and next several months,” the president said in brief comments at the White House. “I know that people in both parties are ready to do that as well.” Mr. Boehner said that there were still significant obstacles in the way of an agreement to increase the federal debt ceiling and avert a default on the nation’s debts. “There is no agreement, in private or in public,” Mr. Boehner, Republican of Ohio, said at a news conference Friday morning. “It’s not like there is some imminent deal about to happen,” he added. “This is a Rubik’s cube that we have not worked out yet.”

Ham Arena expected to reopen for the summer Monday BY TOM EASTMAN THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
CONWAY — “We should be all set to go and have the ice open to the public come Monday [July 11]. We're posting updates on our website, so we ask people to check.” That was the word Friday from Darrell Umlah, executive director of the Ham Ice Arena on West Main Street in Conway. The arena's planned June 26 summer opening had been delayed due to a problem in the 13-yearold facility's refrigeration system. “It was just what we thought it would be: a leak in tubes in the arena's chilling barrel, which carries the salt brine water to cool the ice surface,” said Umlah. Arena staff have been working non-stop to make up for lost time. “We'll be building up the ice surface throughout the weekend. It's like getting a ship ready to go out to sea: you build up the ice but it takes time to get it up to an inch and a half,” said Umlah, who added that part of the job is to paint on the arena's lines and logos onto the ice surface. “We've got the lines down — and, this is really neat — we've got the three lanes painted on for our new curling program." Umlah said he expects the membership of the local curling club to grow as word gets out this summer and fall. He reiterated that the arena was fortunate to have the repairs done before the opening, noting it is far more costly to have to shut down after an opening, especially during the busier winter season. He estimated the cost of the repairs to have been
approximately $10,000. Lost revenue from camp groups and others due to the delayed opening probably totals about $5,000, according to Umlah. “We hope to make up for that through extended programs,” said Umlah. He said the arena has 13 miles of piping in the facility's floor. He underscored that the problem was with a leak in the piping for the brine water and not ammonia. *** Once the arena reopens, the arena will offer public skating, figure skating, stick-and-puck sessions, hockey leagues, two hockey camps and new this summer, a 45- and-older hockey league. Curling demonstrations will be held, to be followed by the creation of a curling league in the fall. “We think the curling league is going to really take off,” said Umlah. The Ham's first hockey camp will be directed by Laconia Leafs junior hockey general manager Will Fay, Aug. 1-5, followed by a camp by Dan Fontas of the Hockey Academy, Aug. 9-13. The arena is also once again featuring a three-onthree league for ages 5 to 17, with players skating on smaller, diagonal sections of the ice sheet simultaneously. Players are categorized into groups by age (5-7, 8-9, 10-12 and 13 and older). Public skating sessions are scheduled for Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3 to 5 p.m., Fridays from 6 to 8 p.m., and Sundays from 1:30 to 4 p.m. Stickand-puck sessions are set for Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 3 to 5 p.m. For further information about programs, call the arena at 447-5886 or visit www.hamarena.com.

DIGEST OF STORIES IN THE SUN THIS WEEK
Saturday, July 2 * Parades, food and fireworks are on tap throughout Mount Washington Valley for Fourth of July weekend. * New Hampshire, the "Live Free or Die" state, is the freest of them all, according to George Mason University's Mercatus Center. The two people who did the study graded state policies according to their own definitions of personal and economic freedom. New Hampshire ranked high for its fiscal conservatism, large citizen legislature and local control. * Conway selectman Mary Seavey calls on townspeople to "do something" to show their patriotism. "We don't have one flag up in any of the villages," Seavey says."It's really sad." * N.H. Department of Transportation makes Saco Covered Bridge one lane but neglects to tell town officials. * A decision on whether to have five high school football coaches funded by taxpayers is put on hold until Conway School Board's next meeting July 11. * An anonymous $1,000 donation puts Kennett High music department within $250 of its goal of $3,500 to purchase raincoats for the school's marching band.
Tele-Talk In what ways do you think New Hampshire is too ‘free’ or not ‘free’ enough? New Hampshire is the "freest" state in the union — at least according to George Mason University's Mercatus Center. Two professors graded state policies based on their own definitions of personal and economic freedom — and New Hampshire and South Dakota came out on top. One reason New Hampshire is so free, said one of the authors of the study, is its conservative atmosphere, which means there's little appetite for government spending. "The rest of the explanation lies in New Hampshire's unique institutions, such as a large citizen legislature, an executive council that can veto appropriations, and local control," Jason Sorens said. By contrast, New York and New Jersey were ranked as the most oppressive states. Taxes are twice as high in New York, Sorens said, and you could be pulled over for not wearing a helmet while riding a motorcycle or not wearing a seat belt in a car. Also, gun laws are much stricter in New York. This week's Tele-Talk: In what ways do you think New Hampshire is too "free" or not "free" enough?

The Twitter Zone By Maureen Dowd New York Times WASHINGTON — I knew I should have been out eating charred meat or watching a bad Michael Bay movie. But I couldn’t help myself. Every July Fourth weekend, I get sucked into the spooky little dimension of “The Twilight Zone.” As the annual Syfy marathon proves, Rod Serling’s hypnotic show is as relevant as ever. If Anthony Weiner had watched it, he might have been more aware of how swiftly, and chillingly, our technology can turn on us. Prosecutors and reporters, dumbfounded by dramatic reversals in the cases of tabloid villains D.S.K. and Casey Anthony, might do well to keep in mind Serling’s postmodern mantra: Nothing is what it seems. Agnes Moorehead may seem to be a lonely farmwoman under attack by scary little robots, but after she kills them and takes an ax to their spaceship, it turns out that she’s the scary Amazon alien and the little men were U.S. astronauts from Earth. Ensorcelled once more by that inimitable, smokefilled Serling voice, which is reassuring and unnerving at once, I wondered how the ingenious TV writer would have used social media and search engines in his plots. Given the way Serling treated time travel, space odysseys, robots and aliens, the 21st-century technology giants would probably have been ominous in one narrative and benign in another. (Just like in life.) No doubt some characters would have been saved and others destroyed by Twitter, Facebook and Google. “When you look at ‘Twilight Zone’ episodes, everything is ambivalent,” said Serling’s friend Doug Brode, who, along with Serling’s widow, Carol, wrote “Rod Serling and ‘The Twilight Zone:’ The 50th Anniversary Tribute,” published in 2009. “Rod had an open mind to the good, the bad and the in-between of technology. He was a guarded optimist until the Kennedy assassination. After that, his work reflected his sense of hopelessness.” He said that Serling’s father, a middle-class grocer, lost his business in the Depression, so Rod had an early lesson in reversals. Serling also had a devastating experience while serving in World War II. During a lull at the Battle of Leyte Gulf in the Pacific, he was standing with his arm around a good friend and they were having their picture taken. At that moment, an Air Force plane dropped a box of extra ammunition that landed on Serling’s friend and flattened him so fatally that he couldn’t even be seen under the box.
“Many ‘Zone’ episodes are about that split-second of fate where somebody arbitrarily gets spared or, absurdly, does not,” Brode said. Serling himself lived a reversal, going from a trailer park after the war and 40 rejection slips in a row to having a big Hollywood house and a pool. But he grew disdainful of Babylon’s corrupting materialism and moved back to a cottage on Cayuga Lake in upstate New York. Serling fought furiously against censorship and ads, asking how you could write meaningful drama when it was interrupted every 15 minutes by “12 dancing rabbits with toilet paper?” In one “Twilight Zone,” an inept screenwriter conjures up Shakespeare to help him. The Bard produces a dazzling screenplay but then storms out when the sponsor demands a lot of revisions. Did Serling, who had a searing sense of social and racial justice, believe in God? “Not Charlton Heston sitting on a cloud with the Ten Commandments, but absolutely, as a force in the universe, he did,” Brode said. “Nearly 35 years ago, George Lucas told me that the whole concept of the Force comes from Rod Serling.” It’s impossible not to watch a stretch of the endlessly inventive Serling and not notice how many of his plots have been ripped off for movies, and how ahead of his time he was. In a popular new Samsung ad, a young woman jumps up from the lunch table and begins screaming because the tarantula screensaver on her colleague’s 4G phone is so lifelike; another guy at the table takes off his shoe and smashes it. There’s a “Twilight Zone” episode where a Western gunfighter time travels forward and goes into a bar, where he sees a TV with a cowboy coming toward him. Thinking it’s real, he pulls out his pistol and shoots the screen. Looking at this summer’s lame crop of movies and previews you can appreciate Serling’s upbraiding of the entertainment industry for “our mediocrity, our imitativeness, our commercialism and, all too frequently, our deadening and deadly lack of creativity and courage.” “The Twilight Zone” was never gangbusters in the ratings, and Serling — who smoked on screen — died at 50 from the ravages of six packs a day. He felt like a sellout and failure. He had sold syndication rights for his show to CBS for a few million, thinking he had not written anything of lasting value. Sadly, he gave himself a trick ending. He died never realizing how influential he would be. “Everything today is Rod Serling,” said Brode. “Everything.”
Investment values Twitter at $8 billion By Evelyn M. Rusli New York Times While Twitter isn’t rushing to go public like some of its larger peers, the microblogging service has no problem luring deep-pocketed investors. Twitter is in the process of raising $400 million in a deal that values the company at $8 billion, according to two people briefed on the matter. The financing round, which will be split into two portions, will be led by DST Global, the investment firm headed by the Russian billionaire Yuri Milner. Previous investors, including the venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, will also participate, one person said.
A Twitter spokesman declined to comment. With more than 200 million accounts, Twitter, based in San Francisco, is part of an elite group of social Web start-ups that have flourished in recent years by rapidly attracting users. While peers like Groupon and Zynga are now hurtling toward the public markets, Twitter is holding back. “I think they’re still trying to find a way to make it into a big business,” said Rory Maher, an analyst for Hudson Square Research. According to his analysis, the company makes about $200 million a year from online advertising and is close to profitability. At those levels, Mr. Maher said, a valuation of $8 billion — or roughly 40 times sales — is difficult to justify.

Time to stop playing politics with county To the editor: I had hoped to avoid confrontation in the press with Representative McCarthy, but his letter (in The Conway Daily Sun) of June 30 was the last straw. Either the representative is using the paper as a political tool to express his biased beliefs and/or misconceptions or he has not listened while in attendance at meetings. This last invective concerning the refurbishing of the old nursing home (once it has been vacated) shows just about how much he does not know or wishes to shade the truth. First, at no time have the county commissioners considered hiring four new employees for the nursing home, period! Regardless of what he believes. this is made up of whole cloth by the representative. And, he continues, solely on his own, to raise the cost of the refurbishing of the facility; it is now by his estimation a million dollars. As to the suggestions he attributes to the commissioners of what to do with the renovated facility, perhaps if he had attended our meetings when we actually discussed the matter, he would know that the suggestions he cites were just that; suggestions by Carroll County residents about what might be nice to have on the complex. Never were they discussed by the committee (on which he sits) to be incorporated into the design. Anyone who had attended any of the meetings the commissioners held across the county back in 2009 and those held by the delegation to explain the need to build a new nursing home understood that the reason
the new building would not house the pellet boiler system, the laundry, and maintenance facilities was to keep the building cost down. Why build into a new facility at a cost of $200-plus per square foot, given that we had a fully paid for building that could take care of these needs at a cost of about half that of a new build? The delegation voted overwhelmingly to go ahead with the design as presented. Regarding UNH Extension, I wonder if the representative even understands what they do. If he did, he might recognize that though they might be located in Ossipee, they will still be serving the Conway area people as well as the entire county. Much of their work is done on “location” of the project. For example, when having a class on food safety, it is held where it makes the most sense; this season’s program will be held at Story Land. The nutritionist goes directly to schools no matter where that may be located. The 4H educator also covers the entire county as does the forester and agriculture resource educator. If the representative had been interested in county government before he ran for office, he might have been attending county meetings (as I have done for the last six years) and known that the Extension’s move from Ossipee to Conway was always considered temporary. It is time to stop playing politics with the county’s business and let us get on with just that ... the county’s business. Dorothy Solomon David Sorensen Carroll County Commissioners

Weeks Act: ‘One of the greatest pieces of legislation ever’ BY TOM EASTMAN THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
Conservationists call the Weeks Act “one of the greatest pieces of federal legislation ever” — and with good reason. Passed by Congress in 1911, and sponsored by Lancaster native son and U.S. Rep. John Wingate Weeks of Boston, it achieved its goal of protecting and restoring the nation's navigable waterways and thereby its forest lands here in the East. It ultimately led to the creation in 1918 of the White Mountain National Forest. The centennial of the passage of the Weeks Act is being celebrated several ways this summer, including with a six-week Tuesday night lecture series at the Mount Washington Observatory's Weather Discovery Center beginning July 12; and a celebration by the U.S. Forest Service and others at the base of the Mount Washington Auto Road from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. July 29.

Far-sighted legislation In an interview this week, retired forester, White Mountain history enthusiast and author Dave Govatski — who is to speak Aug. 2 as part of the six-week observatory series — gave the legislation credit. “The big thing with the Weeks Act,” said the Jefferson resident, “is that good legislation often takes a long time to get across what's worth fighting for. Some times the rewards are greater when the struggle is the longest — and the Weeks Act was hashed out so long in Congress, that the final result was a good compromise and really good legislation.” In an article penned for the website, whitemountainhistory. org, Govatski added, “For the first time, this law provided the federal government with the resources to buy land for the purpose of protecting the headwaters of navigable rivers. Since passage of the Weeks Act 100 years ago, 41 national forests were created containing 20 million acres in 24 Eastern states.” Where would we be today? Simply put, proponents note, had there been no Weeks Act a hundred years ago, there would be no White Mountain National Forest today — and just imagine how that would change everything in this tourismdependent region. “The forest is so much a part of our lives, that I think we often take it for granted,” says Bartlett selectman, state representative and active outdoorsman Gene Chandler. “It's safe to say that the forest establishes our way of life up here. It pretty much defines what we do, between tourism, hunting, fishing, skiing and logging,” said Chandler, who is a staunch supporter of the White Mountain National Forest as a “Land of Many Uses” — a place where recreation, conservation and timber management all takes place. see next page
The area now encompassed by the White Mountain National Forest has recovered from the devastation caused by poor logging practices from the 1870s to early 1900s. Concern over the fate of eastern forests led to passage of the Weeks Act in 1911 which enabled the federal government to acquire lands for national forests. That act led to the creation in 1918 of the White Mountain National Forest.

“It's a national forest, not a national park, and there's a big difference. Trust me, any time that comes up, I will be more than happy to straighten people out. I would fight that until my death,” said Chandler, who worked under legendary late local former Saco District ranger Verland “Swede” Ohlson back in the day. “We [town and state government] get along very well with the forest service — unfortunately, a lot of their decision making is not done locally. But the days of Swede Ohlson being able to run the forest his way are long gone,” said Chandler, a former state Republican House Speaker who is known for his conservative views. Tom Wagner, supervisor of the White Mountain National Forest, and others interviewed applauded the widespread support that supported the original legislation that led to the restoration of the forests in the East, including the creation of the heavilylogged over area that became White Mountain National Forest. “For me, the unique thing about the Weeks Act was the number of different constituencies that were involved that came across with this idea of what can we do to sustain this land and protect it for the future,” said Wagner in April. “I think the people involved 100 years ago would be pretty thrilled with what they accomplished — it's not just a reflection of the forest service but of all who have worked on it, both private and public,” added Wagner, a 32-year veteran of the U.S. Forest Service who has been at the White Mountain National Forest post for the past 10 years. Then and now To understand how much has changed in the 100 years since pas-

sage of the Weeks Act, and in the 93 years since White Mountain National Forest was created, take a look at historic photographs of the region. “One hundred years ago,” writes Govatski, “the White Mountain region was a different sight.

flooding that occurred after heavy rains and the low flows during summer droughts. Hotel owners heard the complaints of the summer tourists who did not like the blackened slopes and streams choked with sawdust and silt. By the early 20th century, a growing consensus between widely diverse interests was building that something had to be done in the White Mountains.” Rob Burbank, director of public affairs for the Appalachian Mountain Club, and a resident of North Conway, says the 1876-founded AMC was at the forefront back then, working with other groups to combat poor logging practices. “Logging played a key role in White Mountain history, and the region was, and still is, prized for its timber. But indiscriminate and unsustainable logging practices of the day led to huge forest fires and stream-choking erosion, and that devastation motivated people to fight back, and the Appalachian Mountain Club was one of the more active groups engaged in working to protect
Beginning in the 1870s, logging railroads transported timber out of the mountains, feeding America’s thirst for lumber and paper. Shown above is EB&L No. 4 at a log landing in what is today’s WMNF. Hikers nowadays may find traces of the old railbeds in the woods. (WHITEMOUNTAINHISTORY.ORG)

people attended a 1906 meeting organized by AMC at which U.S. Forest Service chief Gifford Pinchot — whom we recognize today as a legendary figure in American land conservation — spoke in support of Eastern forest reserves.” Support grows Govatski — a member of the Weeks Act Centennial Committee — says momentum for passage grew from several sources. “Following several unsuccessful presentations to Congress, the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests, the Appalachian Mountain Club, and many other New England and Eastern organizations, working together, took a leadership role in obtaining support [for the act]. Congress finally passed this law, which became known as the Weeks Act, on Feb. 15, 1911 and it was signed by President Taft on March 1. It authorized federal purchase of forest lands at the head of navigable streams. The act also provided for cooperation in fire control between federal and state authorities “On March 27, 1911, the White
Mountain area was tentatively approved by the National Forest Reservation Commission at its first regular meeting, pending a report on the geological and hydrological relation between management of forest lands and protection of streams. During the winter of 1911-1912 the U.S. Geological Survey conducted research around the headwaters of the Pemigewasset River. The survey’s report, written by Forester Benton MacKaye, indicated that logging methods common at the time, and the forest fires sometimes caused by these logging methods, were detrimental to the streams and to water flow.” Water protection key Both Govatski and local tourism history expert Carl Lindblade of Chatham note that the water concerns were central to the act's passage. “There was a big question of whether it was constitutional for the federal government being able to buy private land from willing sellers,” noted Govatski in an interview this week, a view that is also shared by Lindblade, who is to give a talk on the Weeks Act at the Appalachian Mountain Club's Pinkham Notch Visitor Center Sept. 17. see next page

the clause to show that the federal government had the right to buy private land to protect them at the headwaters of navigable rivers. That was key, because the rivers were flooding and also going through dry spells, due to the erosion caused by the extensive logging. So, they felt that by buying the land you could have the protections to regulate the flow of the water.” Complaints from downstream

Adding weight to the conservation efforts by groups was the economic argument that devastating forests and polluting waterways was bad for business. Especially, big business. “There came support,” notes Lindblade, “from an unexpected quarter: the president of the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company, which at the time was one of the largest if not the largest manufacturing facilities in the world.

He testified there was 'so much dirt and silt coming down from those mountains was impairing our hydro power and our ability to manufacture' cotton and wool. “So,” says Lindblade, “you had the degradation of the forest in the White Mountains impairing the ability of the largest cloth manufacturing facility in the world to do its job.” Fighting fires Mother Nature did her part as well: the summer of 1910 was a bad season for forest fires in Idaho, Montana and Washington. “The House had passed the original bill, but the Senate still had not voted on it. So Weeks sweetened the deal. One of the really big things that he added was this whole thing of cooperative forest fire protection. He had added it earlier, but in 1910,” says Govatski, “there was a big fire in Idaho, Washington and Montana that consumed three million acres of land. People were being killed. Fighting forest fires was an issue that the government needed to address. So, it gathered support — those who had been opposed to the constitutionality of it were less opposed. It was pretty precedentsetting.” Landscape today On balance, 100 years later, most would say it's all worked out well. Lindblade says, “The land was acquired, and ultimately after 100 years, New Hampshire and other areas have a renewable resource

that serves both the lumber industry and the tourist industry.” Govatski says the forest is governed by 10-year management plans crafted with citizens' input. The trick is in striking the balance. “The erosion has stopped, and beginning in the 1930s, the forest began to come back. The forest today is much healthier. The question today,” says Govatski, “is less about whether we should have a national forest and more about is how we should manage them. It's always a question of how much: how much wilderness, how much timber harvesting, how much terrain for ski areas. Everyone wants a piece of the pie but some feel there's too little wilderness, some feel too much. What's the right amount?” The AMC's Burbank was also upbeat, while taking a cautionary tone about the need for continued support for conservation efforts in these lean budgetary times. “Citizen involvement in the White Mountain National Forest will be ever more important in the years ahead,” says Burbank, “particularly in the light of dwindling federal budgets and such threats as climate change that were unheard of a century ago. Whatever challenges may lie ahead, we can rise to those challenges by taking a lesson from the success of the Weeks Act and remembering that great change can come about when people of diverse interests unite around a common goal on a common landscape. That energy and focus can be very powerful.”

In the loop Hiking –––––
On a beautiful day his week I did an 11.5 mile loop hike past Carter Notch Hut, completing Ed Parsons another loop past an AMC Hut — the fourth hut that I have written about in the last few weeks. I worked for a few years on the AMC Construction Crew in the huts back in the mid-1960s. It has been fun to remember those times a little, and to bring my column into the present day by completing an interesting loop hike past the huts that I visit. This time my loop started at the end of the Carter Notch Road and included the Bog Brook Trail, Wild River Trail, the Rainbow Trail to the top of Carter Dome (4,832 feet), the Carter-Moriah Trail down to Carter Notch Hut, then a descent on the Wildcat River Trail back to a junction with the Bog Brook Trail, 0.7 miles from my car. Not the usual way to visit Carter Notch, this loop gives you plenty of solitude on the southern slopes of Carter Dome before reaching its summit. Once there, you are on the Appalachian Trail, on a popular 4,000 footer, and also likely to encounter overnight guests from Carter Notch Hut. But the area will never be as crowded as Mount Washington and vicinity, and it is easy to find yourself alone on the trail. I got off to an early start from the quiet parking niche on the dirt Carter Notch Road, heading out on the Bog Brook Trail and soon jumping from rock to rock across the Wildcat River, and then crossing Bog Brook a couple times before reaching the junction with the Wild River Trail. From there it was smooth sailing to the Rainbow Trail. I’m not sure of the exact origins of this trail name, but since the 2.8 mile Rainbow Trail climbs up a southeast ridge of Carter Dome, there is more than a good chance that a trail builder saw a rainbow or two out over the valley to the east, and especially likely from the bare rocky knob with a fine view found 1.5 miles up the trail. There is a great view west from that bare spot towards the long and precipitous backside of Wildcat Mountain, with Mount Washington beyond. This Tuesday morning I paused there to breath in the view, then continued up the trail another mile to the stunted forest on top of Carter Dome, once the site of a tall fire tower. I walked over to the only viewpoint there — a spectacular but limited view northward of the Carter Range, framed by outlying peaks and sky to the north. Just after leaving the summit I bumped into an AT section hiker, heading north. At first I mistook her for a thru-

hiker, and expressed surprise in her being so far north this early in the summer season, but she said that a few northbound thru-hikers were already passing through the area. A half mile further down the trail, three of the previous night’s Carter Hut guests passed me, heading for the summit. I had the rest of the steep descent to myself. Just before the bigger pond in Carter Notch became visible, I could hear waves lapping on the shore through the trees--quite an unusual sound in the mountains. Then I was there. You can say that about the steep and spectacular Carter Notch. The view from the eastern shore of the large pond is across the water, then vertically up, and that’s it. Later, on my hike down, I was thinking that not too long ago, no humans went to Carter Notch. By the 1850s, when the other notches in the mountains were getting more and more popular, and though the deep profile of Carter Notch was highly visible in the distance from both the north and the south, still not many hunters or fishermen had been there. But with the passing of time, and the fashion in which it was described changed from craggy and useless to pristine, people came. By the 1870s there was a hunting camp next to the Carter lakes, and access trails from the north and south. People loved to shoot off their guns in the notch to receive an instant, tympanic echo. The AMC’s presence there began as a shelter in the late 1870s, and a cabin in 1904. A stone hut in was then built in 1914 (the older cabin, located across the pond, was then used by the fire warden for the tower on Carter Dome). Since then, crew room and kitchen extensions have been added on the old stone hut. Starting in 1962, guests have slept in various bunkhouses located on the slope above the hut. I walked along the shore, then past the smaller pond, and up to the stone hut. Inside I parked my backpack see next page

in one at a time. I remember packing gas bombs to Carter with Gardiner Perry, today of Conway. I bid adieu to the hut girl and headed out. But before heading down the Wildcat River Trail, I wanted to take a quick scramble out into the Ramparts. Above Carter Notch on the west slope of Carter Dome is a big ravine with a floor of great boulders that peeled off of Carter Dome 10,000 years ago. Only a few years ago, after I heard that Guy Waterman had bushwhacked up the Ramparts, I did it and found it quite exciting. On Tuesday, I scrambled a little way up the floor of the Ramparts, and, regretfully, turned around. On the way back down the Ramparts, I happened to get a photo of Carter Notch from an interesting elevated perspective. Later, on the walk down the lower Wildcat River Trail, the midges started buzzing around my eyes and I had to hang my T-shirt over my head.

on a dining room bench, and grabbled a piece of leftover bread on the self serve counter. A crew member was making an upside down cake for dinner, and she gave me a friendly greeting. I extricated a 1968 hut log book from a high shelf, and browsed while eating. I had been to Carter a lot that year, mostly packing supplies with the hut crew and other Construction Crew members. Quite a few times early in the season we packed “gas bombs” up to Carter. These were small propane tanks that you could tie right onto your pack board. I think they weighted about 60 pounds. Sometimes we tied on two (the older I get, the more I am astounded by the power of youth). Later in the 1970s, the huts graduated to five foot high propane tanks. These were flown via helicopter to the huts in bunches of four. Today, the propane tanks at the huts are a lot bigger than even those, and are probably flown

Country Ecology: Native dogwood species A few springs back, I excitedly partook in the shrub sale of the Carroll Country Conservation District for some whips of winterberry, a crabapple, and a few species of dogwoods. I also went over to the NH State Forest Nursery to buy some other packages of the native shrubs that feed the birds. These come in enclosed sacks of brown paper, sealed with a plastic membrane to keep the moisture within available for the barerooted, ten plants wrapped in a cluster. There, I bought arrowwood, the common elder, eastern red cedar, and all the varieties of dogwoods that commonly grow in this state. It has been five years since I planted these, and things are starting to go very well. While we are too far north for the beautiful flowering dogwood to be included in our wildlife gardening, we do have other species of the genus that do well here in our northern climes. For some reason, it surprises people that we have several dogwoods that feed the birds, but which are nowhere near as showy as our illustrious neighbor to the south. Maryland and other Eastern seaboard states lay claim to the flowering dogwood abundantly blooming in the early springtime there, but we do okay with what representatives of Cornus that thrive here. They all produce berries which are valuable for the songbirds.
Even with the excessive rains we received this early summer, I sometimes water those plants I have stuck in the ground in areas where I thought they would do well over time. Winterberry and red-osier dogwood went in the wettest parts of a swale where my raspberry commonly grows, and silky dogwood specimens were inserted at its other end. The alternate-leaved dogwood whips were stuck in more well drained ground. They all did pretty well over the past summer months. In one part of the open area, I planted the yellow-twig dogwood, a cultivar relative of the red-osier, I am told, and it did the best of all of them. Red spruce seedlings, paper birches, and orange day lilies were transplanted between these forage shrubs. Survival over the first seasons was my goal, and each year I see continued growth and real progress. Gray dogwood was also placed in the driest sites, and I am hopeful it will fill in a lot of spaces near my conifers blocking the sights and sounds of nearby road traffic. All looks good going into this year, with some of these gray dogwoods gracing the stone wall where a maple-leaved viburnum is also already growing as a native. As the years go by in the future, I will look forward to the whitish berries see next page

of the silky dogwood and the leadenblue berries of the red-osier appearing, watching these feeding the migrating sparrows and juncos in the fall. When their curious bluish berries will be all eaten up, the birds will be gone, too. It is the alternate-leaved dogwood I specifically watch to see how hungry our migrating birds are. The green berries are on stalks that turn red, as the berries ripen into dark blue. How fast they are consumed, tells me the overall availability of the forage crops out there. The soft mast crop produced for the avian wildlife gives them the flying energy to move through our area towards the tropics, where they will overwinter. I think these hard berries are the “driving wheel” for this feathered movement, as I wish these creatures well during their southerly journey. Our resident chickadees will often join in with the sparrows and other migrants from our northern woodlands and mountaintop habitats. And, I glass the flocks to see what other species are combining momentarily with immature juncos and white-throats in their twophased plumages. A white-crowned sparrow will sometimes be included with them. Goldenrod seeds are valuable fodder, and I have to remark to
myself how many seeds these various sparrows must consume every day eating our weeds and wildflower seed heads. However, it will be the red-osier dogwood that gains my greatest respect as an edge plant. It favors river banks, moist lowlands, and stabilizes silty flood plains with its roots, which don’t mind being immersed in water. A wetland indicator plant, it is heavily utilized in shoreline redevelopment, having as many roots down into the damp soil as it has reddish twigs showing above. Many large-stemmed clumps are found where the plant is doing well, as it spreads itself by suckering, thereby giving it the Latin name of Cornus stolonifera. The few whips I have planted in the wettest part of the property will keep me watching for their expansion over the next few springs. Maybe more stems will shoot up from their roots as the red-osier dogwood gets successfully established. I expect to have a real thicket out there.

Teens Cycling for Peace traveling through New Hampshire
CONWAY — The deCycles group will arrive in North Conway late afternoon on July 12 after pedaling from Portsmouth that day, and leave for Littleton early on July 13. They will be staying overnight at Christ Episcopal Church. Fifty teens will be bicycling from Indiana over the Appalachian Mountains, to Ground Zero of New York City, up to Boston and through the mountains of New England. Riding over 1,650 miles, with the next church they ride usually an average of 85 miles away, this is one of the most challenging co-ed trips taken in the 42-year history of deCycles. Started in 1969 and based in Indiana, this inter-
faith teen bicycling group pushes riders out of their comfort zones. It challenges them to look inside for the "power" to make it down the road. Riding in groups of seven and never leaving their slowest rider may not seem challenging until there are the mountains, some big Appalachian Mountains, hot sun, wind, and tiredness. No matter what age, after a few days of this strenuous journey, everyone needs help. Besides the personal growth each rider experiences, the trip is meant to be a demonstration of cooperation and peace. Hungry, sweaty, and weary, deCycles riders minister to each other, the public and church congregations all along the way.
Through their stories and music, they inspire all ages to "never give up, no matter how difficult the challenge," to "listen to your heart and remember that we are all wonderful children of our Creator," and finally, "take time for others as we all journey on the path of life together." deCycles is riding from Bloomington, Indiana wearing red, white and blue in remembrance of the 10th anniversary of 9/11. This year's "Trail Of Honor" bicycle trip will visit multiple sites of historical significance including the Crash Site of Flight 93, Ground Zero at the World Trade Center, Gettysburg National Battlefield, Valley Forge, Plymouth Rock, Bunker Hill, Boston, and many others.

DILBERT
by Scott Adams
By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Accept help judiciously. The help of one person will make life easier; whereas, the “help” of another person will overcomplicate things and make life harder than it was to begin with. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You thank people and give them credit and recognition for their efforts. Your appreciation means more to them than money. Your involvement in the lives of others will make a difference. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll have the opportunity to demonstrate your might and would be wise to consider very carefully whether this chance should be seized. Who will benefit most from your display? If it’s you, then the act is not advisable. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Someone makes a positive association involving you. This is no accidental happening, since you make an effort to surround yourself with beauty and pleasantness just so these types of associations can be made. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Someone will attempt a gesture of kindness toward you. But this person may not understand or know you well enough to be able to accurately predict what will make you smile. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 9). You’ll accept a high honor this year. The next six weeks will smile on your love life. Your leadership will be key to a victory for your group in August. September is for restructuring your life to align with long-term goals. There’s a family reunion in October. Health and financial progress happens in December. Capricorn and Aquarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 24, 10, 5, 44 and 18.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Do not confuse “pride” with “self-esteem.” They are more opposite than alike. Pride is the puffed-up version of low self-esteem. When you’re sure of yourself, you have nothing to prove. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll be working on a project that’s bigger than you can accomplish alone in your current timeframe. You’ll solicit cooperation from those around you, and everyone wins. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You may not know what to make of today’s findings, and it will be very interesting to call in an expert. Your knowledge will grow along with the excitement around this discovery. CANCER (June 22-July 22). There’s a diverse group of minds around you. Opinions will be flying, and very few of them will resemble any of your own ideas. That’s what will make the conversation so interesting. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your personal touch will boost the morale of the people around you. You have a way of making people feel as though what they do matters to you -- maybe because it really does. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). A job may be easy for you in theory, but a million unpredictable elements could take it in any number of directions. So be careful not to claim too much or to over-promise. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Being at the top comes at a price. There is always the possibility (and actually, it’s an inevitability) that someone will come along to replace the one in the top position. Recognize that change is a constant, and do your best.

THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Saturday, July 9, 2011— Page 29
Today is Saturday, July 9, the 190th day of 2011. There are 175 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On July 9, 1951, President Harry S. Truman asked Congress to formally end the state of war between the United States and Germany. (An official end to the state of war was declared in Oct. 1951.) On this date: In 1540, England’s King Henry VIII had his 6-month-old marriage to his fourth wife, Anne of Cleves, annulled. In 1776, the Declaration of Independence was read aloud to Gen. George Washington’s troops in New York. In 1816, Argentina declared independence from Spain. In 1850, the 12th president of the United States, Zachary Taylor, died after serving only 16 months of his term. (He was succeeded by Millard Fillmore.) In 1896, William Jennings Bryan delivered his famous “cross of gold” speech at the Democratic national convention in Chicago. In 1918, 101 people were killed in a train collision in Nashville, Tenn. The Distinguished Service Cross was established by an Act of Congress. In 1947, the engagement of Britain’s Princess Elizabeth to Lt. Philip Mountbatten was announced. In 1982, a Pan Am Boeing 727 crashed in Kenner, La., killing all 145 people aboard and eight people on the ground. In 1986, the Attorney General’s Commission on Pornography released the final draft of its report, which linked hard-core porn to sex crimes. One year ago: The largest U.S.-Russia spy swap since the Cold War took place on a remote stretch of Vienna airport tarmac as planes from New York and Moscow arrived within minutes of each other with 10 Russian sleeper agents and four prisoners accused by Russia of spying for the West. Today’s Birthdays: Actor-singer Ed Ames is 84. Actor James Hampton is 75. Actor Brian Dennehy is 73. Actor Richard Roundtree is 69. Author Dean Koontz is 66. Football Hall-of-Famer O.J. Simpson is 64. Actor Chris Cooper is 60. TV personality John Tesh is 59. Country singer David Ball is 58. Rhythm-and-blues singer Debbie Sledge is 57. Actor Jimmy Smits is 56. Actress Lisa Banes is 56. Actor Tom Hanks is 55. Singer Marc Almond is 54. Actress Kelly McGillis is 54. Rock singer Jim Kerr is 52. Actress-rock singer Courtney Love is 47. Rock musician Frank Bello is 46. Actor David O’Hara is 46. Actor Scott Grimes is 40. Actor Enrique Murciano is 38. Musician/producer Jack White is 36. Rock musician Dan Estrin (Hoobastank) is 35. Actor-director Fred Savage is 35. Country musician Pat Allingham is 33. Actress Megan Parlen is 31. Rhythm-andblues singer Kiely Williams (3lw) is 25.

TWEEN GIRL FEELS HER LIFE IS OVER BEFORE EIGHTH GRADE
DEAR ABBY: I’m only 12 and I feel like my life is ending. I just finished seventh grade, I don’t have many friends and I feel like the ones I do have don’t really care. I do gymnastics and volleyball, but my friends there don’t really care, either. My family is no help. My sisters are too busy with their friends and boys to care. My parents don’t know anything about me. On top of that, there’s a boy I like who acts like I don’t exist. What should I do? -- FRIENDLESS IN MICHIGAN DEAR FRIENDLESS: I find it interesting that when people write to me, it’s often the LAST thing in their letters that’s the crux of the problem. I’m sorry your love life isn’t going well at the moment, but your life isn’t “over.” In fact, it’s just beginning. Everyone has days when they feel alone in the crowd -- even kids who are popular. Your parents have known you all your life. If they don’t yet know the person you’re becoming, it may be because you haven’t let them. They have experienced much of what you’re going through, and I’m sure they’ll be glad to share their wisdom if they’re given the chance. As to the guy you like, he may be shy or not yet ready for romance. Give him some time to grow up and appreciate you, and he may start to like you, too. DEAR ABBY: For the past 10 years or so, at bridal and baby showers I have attended, blank envelopes have been handed to guests upon arrival with instructions to self-address them. This, apparently, saves the gift recipient time having to ad-
dress envelopes to the gift-givers. I usually set the envelope aside and don’t fill it out, but last week the guest of honor’s mother handed me an envelope and pen and stood there until I completed the task. After spending time and money shopping for and paying for a gift, I feel insulted having to address my own thank-you envelope! Can you think of an appropriate response when I’m asked to participate in this insulting new party ritual? Or should I stay quiet and accept that most people are ignorant regarding good manners? -- INSULTED IN OHIO DEAR INSULTED: How about this for a response: “After spending my time shopping for a gift, and my hard-earned money to pay for it, it is insulting to be expected to address my own thank-you envelope. If she likes the gift, she can address the envelope herself. If not, she can return the gift to me.” DEAR ABBY: Please tell parents and teachers to warn children that when they walk on the roads to walk facing the traffic. We have come up behind many people walking with their backs to the traffic, some of whom are listening to music or talking on their cellphones and don’t even know anyone is around. -- COLLETTE IN NEWBURGH, MAINE DEAR COLLETTE: I’m pleased to print your warning. There is a name for pedestrians who do as you have described and aren’t aware of their surroundings or impending danger. It’s “casualty.”

Victorian Tea at ParSem July 17 Looking for some quality entertainment for the weekend? If you are around this Saturday, the South Effingham Community church will be hosting Bradigan for an evening of Celtic music. Tickets are $12 with all profits going towards restoration and upkeep of the building. This will be an evening of toe tapping music including, for many, a strong desire to join in and sing along. It promises to be an evening of high pleasure. We may be a bit out of the way in Effingham but that doesn’t mean there isn’t anything to do of a summer evening. Call 539-7910 for more information. Should your idea of entertainment be a bit more refined you can now purchase your tickets for this year’s “Victorian Tea.� For those who have attended
this ParSem event in the past no inducement is needed, but there are those out there who have limited themselves to thinking about attending without ever actually going: let’s follow through this year. The featured entertainment this year will be provided by ‘Melodies and Memories,’ the Northeast Senior Barbershop Quartet champs. So let a little gentility into your life, sip some tea, enjoy a wide assortment of delicate finger foods and chat with friends while listening to Ms. Jane Wilcox Lively’s harp music. The big day will be July 17 , from 1:00 to 4 p.m., tickets in advance are $15 and $20 at the door. All profits will go toward the restoration of the ParSem building. see EFFINGHAM page 39

The program is from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. Dr. Michael Cline will conduct a canoe journey that will introduce the members to species unique to the bog.

New Hampshire’s Big Tree Program
Did you know that over 80 percent of New Hampshire is covered by trees? Trees of all kinds! We have approximately 70 trees that are native to the state and many more that have been introduced here. Some of New Hampshire’s oldest trees are 400 to 500 years old. They have witnessed a lot of history, and they likely have interesting stories of their own. Since the days when “mast pines” were harvested for the British Navy, trees have played an integral role in our state’s character and economy. Wood from trees has built and heated our homes. Trees clean our air and water, prevent soil erosion, provide habitats for wildlife, increase property values, and produce forest products. In the era of the grand hotels, guests took trips to visit trees including the “wizard birch” and “cathedral woods” to appreciate and admire them. The days when a vast expanse of original forest covered most of the state are gone. Today, relatively few large, venerable trees remain to remind us of those earlier times. In an effort to find, record, and recognize the largest known specimens of different tree species, the New Hampshire Big Tree Program was started in 1950. The list of recorded champions now includes more than 200 giants of their kind. The list includes trees that are native or naturalized, meaning they can grow and reproduce here on their own. Volunteers help identify, measure, and record these big trees at the state, county and national levels. Each big tree receives a score based on trunk circumference, crown spread and total height. All recognized New Hampshire Big Trees are considered for submission for the National Champion Big Tree Registry sponsored by American Forests. The National Register of Big Trees lists over 700 cham-
pion trees, and New Hampshire is currently home to four national champions. A champion tree represents the largest of each species of tree found in the state. Think of it as the Guiness Book of World Records for trees in the United States. Do you have a really big tree in your neighborhood, or know of a potential champion big tree? These champion trees can be found just about anywhere across the state in parks, backyards, cemeteries, and forests. Locating a tree to nominate is the first task in the nomination process. The easiest way to do this is to keep your eyes open when outside! Keep in mind that not all champions are really large trees. Some tree species don’t get very large, even at maturity. The NH Big Tree Team has published a list of the biggest trees of each species throughout the state. You can find the list at the NH Big Tree website: nhbigtrees.org. You can use the list to search for new champion trees. If you find a large tree, you can take a quick preliminary measurement to see if it might be in the running to be a champion. First, identify the species of tree as best you can. Then, using a tape measure, measure the circumference of the tree in inches at chest height. If the circumference measurement is larger or within a few inches of the same species tree on the Big Tree List, you may have a new champion! Whether or not you find an actual big tree champion, looking for the biggest trees in your neighborhood can be a lot of fun and a great learning experience. If you find a tree that is close in measurement to one of our current county, state or National champions, please contact the N.H.Big Tree Program at nhbigtrees.org. If you have any questions, or are interested in learning more about the N.H. Big Tree Program you can contact Wendy Scribner at the UNH Cooperative Extension office at 447-3834 or wendy.scribner@unh. edu.

Just a teaser: July 16 is coming, the day when you can enjoy fresh homemade strawberry short cake at the old Grange Hall. The event is sponsored by the Effingham Preservation Society who weekly host bake and veggie sales at the hall on the corner of Town House Road and Route 153. On a weekly basis this group offers some of the best baked goods around as well as a cup of coffee or two to enjoy with friends. The preservation society’s strawberry short cake day is becoming a tradition in Effingham and is definitely worth stopping by for. More next week. A reminder: Those interested in the state of the Effingham Falls Cemetery are invited to attend an informal gathering at the town municipal offices this Saturday at 9 a.m. to discuss getting the upkeep and maintenance back on track. Contact Lyle at 539- 6868 for more information. A little news from the library: Work continues on getting new shelving for the library’s collection of books, tapes
and movies. It looks like the changes will be occurring in late September. There are plans afoot to change the old book room into a meeting/media room for public use. In general news: the library is continuing to rack up some impressive patron visit numbers, a fact that makes the staff smile, smile, smile. Your reporter has been asked to remind residents that you can get scratched and non-functioning CDs, cleaned and repaired at the library. While true that not all CDs can be repaired you might be surprised at how badly scratched a CD can be fixed. It costs $3. Your reporter took a short canoe ride on the Ossipee River the other evening. It must be said that this is one pretty little river, dark water reflecting the bankside trees, long flowing grasses waving in the current, little islands of taller grasses and remarkable river views; add an amazing sunset and you have just about a perfect evening paddle. A word of warning, bug shirts are recommended and if you make it down to the river some evening say,’ Hi,’ to the resident beaver.

HOWE from page 10
The wires could be tested and they were intact and the ribbon looked good, but the end connections could not be reached with a probe. So my friend kept going until he had the whole thing apart, he had every piece out of it and apart, and he tested as many of the circuits and components as he could find. Then, to my considerable surprise, he got the whole thing back together. It was so complex that he had made a video tape with soundtrack of himself taking it apart. That way, he could play the tape backward to see how to put it together in case of future need. I’d always found that if you took something apart and put it together again, it usually worked better than it did before. I was wrong, the screen still did strange things. So he took it out of its fittings in the lid of the case, gave it a 360 degree turn, and put it back in. Then it worked perfectly.

ing strength of Jackson electricity, so I got a device that smoothed out the variations. Then last week my present favorite went into decline and I dusted off the most promising item in my museum of discarded favorites and it worked. That is, it hummed and the screen lit up, but only one of the two disk drives worked. I did notice, though, that it didn’t count key strokes as I always do for Conway Daily Sun pieces or show where the right margin was, as as far as the electrons were concerned, a line could go on indefinitely. Then I learned that in the intervening years I’d forgotten many of the details in its writing program and there wasn’t enough time to drive to Denver for a refresher course and get back before my deadline in this week’s Saturday edition of The Sun, so I bought two of those tablets with yellow lined paper in The Dollar Store. I’d always wanted one, but never had a real need for it as long at the electrons were working and now they weren’t. My television set is always on when I’m working on a piece for a publisher, and as I’ve been writing these words the TV program is about teaching chimpanzees to do tasks that children can do. I find this encouraging, it means that even without the blond in Denver I might still have a chance if I have the yellow lined pads. Nicholas Howe is a writer from Jackson.

Real estate marketing and cage fighting? BY JASON ROBIE Have you ever noticed that Petrus Pomerol wine ($1,459 a bottle) doesn’t advertise its product during ultimate fighting matches or football games? And have you also noticed that you don’t see billboards for “2 buck chuck” (Charles Shaw wine — $3 buck chuck in New Hampshire!) at yacht races or polo matches? The purveyors of these respective products, or their salespeople at least, know their market and know how to get the most mileage out of every marketing dollar they spend. Are you doing the same thing while trying to sell your home? Is your agent? The trick to selling almost anything is to know where your potential customers are and putting your product in front of them. Saturday morning cartoons give us toy commercials. Monday evening news gives us car commercials (and “little blue pill” ads). Once you see this pattern, you will start to notice “who” the advertisers are going after as it relates to what show is on TV. We are starting to see this trend online as well. If you utilize a “portal” site or news aggregator like (Yahoo, MSN, etc.), you will notice that there are ads displayed all around the main data section of the page. They make no apologies for utilizing your browsing patterns (yes, they can see that!) to determine which ads you are most likely to click on. (Yahoo! does give the user the right to edit this feature or simply turn it off.) I stand at 5 feet, 10 inches tall and weigh a tolerable 175 pounds. Every time I land on my news site (I’m a Yahoo! guy), I am presented with weight loss ads! Clearly they have some work to do in perfecting their algorithms, but the technology is there. Perhaps all my searching for cycling and hiking equipment has belied my fitness level. Getting back to selling your home, I’m confident these same principles apply. Badger Realty did some research a few months back to determine the best market in which to sell higher end or “luxury” homes. It turns out buyers for these homes, just like everyone else, are looking online to start their search. We also learned that referrals are of even greater importance when dealing with higher end homes. People trust their friends and relatives over a salesperson any day of the week. The trick is making sure you are the one they recommend! Which brings us back to knowing your audience or “market." Where are your buyers? Where do they live? What do they do for fun? Why are they moving? Who do they socialize with? When are they moving? Is this going to be a second home? Are their kids in school? All of these questions will help you (and your agent) narrow down the field of possible buyers and allow you to produce more targeted, efficient and effective marketing. In the North Conway market, much like many of the destination-resort towns in the White Mountains, a significant portion of our homeowners do not live here full time. In the Loon Mountain area, the percentage of secondhome owners is around than 70 percent. Here in North Conway, we are at nearly 60 percent. That means your buyers are not likely to be your year-round neighbors. When marketing your home, you and your see ROBIE page 42

CONWAY — If you want to know about the Radio Station Condos, ask somebody who lives there. “Very private. Water’s edge. The best neighbors. Well-built and sound-proofed. View. Common vegetable garden area and flower gardens.” Those are some of the features cited by one of the residents, Marie Ciriello, treasurer of the homeowners’ association The Radio Station Condos are so named because they are situated on the old radio station property on Route 113/East Main Street near Conway Village. This week’s Home of the Week is Unit 11, a three-bedroom, three-bath townhouse-style riverfront unit on three levels. A patio, porch and deck all overlook the Saco River. Phases 1 and 2 are sold out. This unit is part of the third and final phase.

agent should have your “selling” sites set firmly on the Massachusetts and Rhode Island markets. Google and Facebook offer geo-targeted ads, and Facebook even offers demographic-targeted ads. This helps eliminate displaying your “home for sale” ad to an audience of 13 year olds from Omaha! The data is out there which helps you determine exactly where they buyers are coming from. Simple adjustments like marketing to inside the 128 belt in Boston, versus outside that belt, can make a huge difference. People in Western Massachusetts tend to ski in Vermont so they don’t buy ski homes in North Conway. Of course, these are just general observations, but the numbers don’t lie and why not stack the odds in your favor. Knowing your existing market as well as knowing your “potential” market is vital to the success of any business. The sale of your home is vital to you and your family taking the next step in your life’s journey. Make sure you and your agent are both educated on how best to take this next step.

New housing program aimed at unemployed BY ANDREW MARTIN NEW YORK TIMES
Help is on the way from the federal government for some homeowners struggling to make their mortgage payments because of prolonged joblessness. The Obama administration on Thursday announced a beefed-up program that will allow eligible homeowners to skip part or all of their monthly payments for 12 months or more while they search for a new job. Certain homeowners have been eligible to skip payments for three or four months, far shorter than most unemployed people need to get back on their feet. While officials could not say how many homeowners might qualify for the extended grace period, they predicted that tens of thousands would benefit. The Obama administration has come under increasing criticism for its efforts to help struggling homeowners avoid foreclosure, especially as housing prices have continued their downward slide. On Wednesday, President Obama himself acknowledged the administration had come up short. “We’re going back to the drawing board, talking to banks, try to put some pressure on them to work with people who have mortgages to see if we can make

further adjustments, modify loans more quickly, and also see if there may be circumstances where reducing principal is appropriate,” he said. Mortgage servicers whose loans are backed by Federal Housing Administration insurance will be required to offer payment deferments to eligible homeowners. Roughly 14 percent of active mortgages are backed by the federal insurance. Servicers who participate in the Treasury Department’s mortgage modification program will be asked to postpone payments for unemployed homeowners, though to date, their record at voluntarily modifying loans has been spotty. The changes will not apply to loans owned or guaranteed by the big mortgage companies Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, which account for roughly half of all mortgages. Still, administration officials said they hoped the entire lending industry would follow the federal government’s lead. “Providing the option for a year of forbearance will give struggling homeowners a substantially greater chance of finding employment before they lose their home,” said Shaun Donovan, the secretary of housing and urban development.

The announcement won praise from housing advocates, who have pushed for the administration to strengthen its programs for the unemployed. “This action is another step toward breaking the link between losing your job and losing your home,” said the Rev. Lucy Kolin, of the PICO National Network, a coalition of faith-based organizations. “It’s only fair that the big banks who caused so much job loss in America extend relief to families who’ve lost their jobs as a result of the financial crisis.” One major problem in housing is that the administration’s signature foreclosure-prevention program, the Home Affordable Modification Program, was meant to help homeowners with adjustable rate loans in which payments spiked upward. But in recent years, the main cause of foreclosure has been unemployment, not risky loans, and the program has fallen far short of its original goals. In his remarks Wednesday, President Obama said the housing market had not bottomed out as quickly as his administration expected and that its programs to help homeowners were not helping enough. Under the revised program, mortgage servicers whose loans are backed by the housing administration will be required to postpone payments for eligible unemployed homeowners for at least 12 months. In addition, mortgage servicers who participate in the Home Affordable Modification Program would be encouraged to provide similar assistance to unemployed homeowners. Since the program is voluntary, however, eligibility could be hindered by investor and regulatory restrictions. The maximum term would be 12 months of deferred principal and interest. That means that if a homeowner makes half a payment each month, they could get 24 months of forbearance, Mr. Donovan said. Homeowners who are already enrolled in federal programs to defer mortgage payments can apply to get the length of their deferments extended, he said. The repayment schedule will depend on the homeowners’ employment status when the forbearance period ends. If the homeowners have decent-paying jobs, for instance, they will work out a repayment schedule with their mortgage servicer. The Obama administration has made various attempts to turn around the moribund housing market since it came into office in 2009. The administration originally predicted that the Housing Affordable Modification Program would help three million to four million homeowners, but to date, there have been roughly 730,000 permanent loan modifications. And while Congress set aside $46 billion as part of the huge bank bailout to help struggling programs, the administration has spent slightly less than $2 billion of the money.
Is it safe to invest in real estate again? Just a few years back during the real estate boom, flipping homes and investing in residential real estate was all the rage — until the bubble burst and buyers nearly became an endangered species. But new data show that real estate investors are becoming more active in the market, as evidenced by survey results from online real estate firm Move Inc. released in late spring. The survey found that investors will be more active in their local markets and outnumber typical homebuyers by three to one over the next 24 months, and 69 percent of investors say it will be easier to find properties in the near future. Additionally, 62 percent of investors are paying more attention to home values in their local markets, with only approximately 43 percent indicating it will be harder to find bargains in the next six months. Twenty-seven percent of investor respondents said they’ll purchase a primary residence as a first-time buyer as their first real estate investment, and nearly half plan to live in their investment property until it’s sold or turned into a rental. “This survey suggests that many first-time buyers may be looking at investing as a strategy to becoming homeowners,” says Julie Reynolds, vice president of Move Inc. “If you plan to live in the house for the long-term, the potential for your home to rise significantly in value after a few years is there,” says Philip Tesoriero, broker/owner of Exceptional Homes Real Estate in Massapequa, N.Y. “If you’re planning to flip, don’t expect to be able to turn it around immediately at a high profit. If you can buy and hold for the long-term, you’re far ahead of the game.” © CTW Features

Two big banks exit reverse mortgage business Page 44 — THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Saturday, July 9, 2011
BY TARA SIEGEL BERNARD NEW YORK TIMES
The nation’s two biggest providers of reverse mortgages are no longer offering the loans, as the economics of the business have come under pressure. Wells Fargo, the largest provider, said last week that it was leaving the business, following the departure in February of Bank of America, the second-largest lender. With the two biggest players gone — together, they accounted for 43 percent of the business, according to Reverse Market Insight — prospective borrowers may find it more difficult to access the mortgages. Reverse mortgages allow people age 62 and older to tap what may be their biggest asset, their home equity, without having to make any payments. Instead, the bank pays the borrowers, though they continue to be responsible for paying property taxes and homeowner’s insurance. But the loans have increasingly become a riskier proposition. Banks are not allowed to assess borrowers’ ability to keep up with all their payments, and more borrowers do not have the wherewithal to stay current on their homeowners’ insurance and property taxes, both of which have risen in many parts of the country. At the same time, borrowers have been taking the maximum amount of money available, often using it to pay off any remaining money owed on the home. Yet home prices continue to slide. “We are on new ground here,” said Franklin Codel,
head of national consumer lending at Wells Fargo. “With house prices falling, you reach a crossover point where they owe more than the house is worth and it creates risk for us as mortgage servicers and for HUD.” He was referring to the Department of Housing and Urban Development, whose Federal Housing Administration arm insures the vast majority of these loans through its Home Equity Conversion Mortgage program. As a result, banks are seeing a rise in what are known as technical defaults, when homeowners fall behind on their taxes or homeowner’s insurance, both of which are required to avoid foreclosure. According to Reverse Market Insight, about 4 to 5 percent of active reverse mortgages, or 25,000 to 30,000 borrowers, are in default on at least one of those items. Bank of America, meanwhile, said that declining home values made fewer people eligible for reverse mortgages. So it decided to redeploy at least half of those working on the mortgages to its loan modification division, which has been criticized for failing to help enough homeowners on the brink of foreclosure. For Wells Fargo, however, the inability to assess borrowers’ financial health was the biggest factor for exiting the business. Anyone over the age of 62 with enough home equity can take out a reverse mortgage, regardless of their other income. The amount of money received is determined by the borrower’s age, the amount of equity in the home and prevailing interest rates.
“We are not allowed, as an originator, to decline anyone,” added Codel of Wells Fargo. We “worked closely with HUD to find an alternative solution and we were unable to find one with them, which led to this outcome.” Reverse mortgage borrowers are required to pay premiums for mortgage insurance, which protects the lender if the homes are ultimately sold for less than the mortgage value, since the government is required to pay the difference to the lender. The premium rates were increased last October to account for declining home values (though one sizable upfront mortgage premium was eliminated to make the loans more attractive to certain borrowers). But lenders are responsible for making tax and insurance payments on behalf of delinquent borrowers until they submit an insurance claim to HUD, at which point the agency would be responsible since it provided the insurance against default. In January, HUD sent a letter to lenders and reverse mortgage counselors that provided guidance on how to report delinquent loans to the agency, and what steps the lenders could take to get borrowers back on track, like establishing a realistic repayment plan that could be completed in two years or less, or getting a HUDapproved mortgage counselor involved to help come up with a solution. If one cannot be reached, the lenders must begin foreclosure proceedings. Both Wells Fargo and Bank of America have said they have not foreclosed on any borrowers to date.

Benefits of a biweekly mortgage plan BY MARYANN HAGGERTY NEW YORK TIMES
With interest rates low, biweekly mortgage payment plans are looking less attractive than ever. If you have recently taken a mortgage, you are likely to receive solicitations pushing these plans, from your own lender or a third party. The pitch is that for a few hundred dollars up front, you can painlessly save thousands in the long term on interest, simply by having half your mortgage payment debited from your bank account every two weeks, instead of paying monthly. For years, financial advisers and consumer advice columnists have offered the same caution about such plans: Don’t pay to participate. You can achieve the same results yourself at no cost. “I would never pay a bank for that option, because basically a biweekly is sending in one extra payment a year,” Robert B. Walsh, a principal of Lighthouse Financial Advisors in Red Bank, N.J., said of the payment plan. The 26 every-other-week payments each year are the equivalent of 13 monthly payments, and the extra cash
goes to cut your principal, allowing you to pay off the loan earlier. How much earlier depends on your interest rate. If you had a 30-year fixed-rate loan at 7 percent — outrageously high these days — you would pay it off in 23.9 years, and save $33,555 in interest on each $100,000 of principal, assuming you began biweekly payments right after you took out the loan. With the same loan at 4.5 percent, payoff would require 25.7 years and save just $13,619. Citibank calls its BiWeekly Advantage Plan “a faster way to build your home equity.” The plan charges a $375 enrollment fee, plus $1.50 per draft. Other biweekly plans, including thirdparty payment services, charge similar amounts. Some lenders, including Wells Fargo and Bank of America, offer biweekly plans free to customers who pay from an account with that bank. Citibank acknowledges the do-ityourself advice. “Some homeowners try to make extra principal payments themselves, but most aren’t able to keep a consistent schedule,” the bank says on its website. Nonetheless, technology makes such

payments particularly painless. If your lender offers direct payments via an online site, it will let you add extra principal to the payment. Add an amount equal to one-twelfth of your monthly payment, and don’t think of it again. If you physically mail a check each month, you’ll have to think some, but not a lot. Your payment coupon has a line where you can write in the additional principal amount you are paying. Asked why Citibank offered biweekly payment plans, Mark Rodgers, a spokesman for Citigroup, said it is “a matter of client preference” and pointed out that some clients do not bank online. Albert Engel, an executive vice president of Valley National Bank in Wayne, N.J., distinguishes between payment plans, which he calls “synthesized biweekly mortgages,” and the biweekly loans his bank offers. Those loans are amortized biweekly, in contrast with

most payment plans, which accelerate payments without changing the underlying monthly accrual schedule. That is, while you pay each two weeks, nothing is credited to your account until the monthly due date. Valley National’s loans credit those payments every 14 days, for a slightly faster payoff. At today’s rates, few customers choose biweekly loans, Engel said. Still, “it remains a standard product for us,” he said. “As rates increase, we expect this program will become much more fashionable.” Engel is particularly dismissive of third-party payment plans, saying borrowers are “foolish” to pay a fee. If nothing else, he suggests a low-tech alternative. “Write a check for half the mortgage each two weeks, and put it in a coffee can.” Each month, send two checks from the coffee can. At the end of a year, there will be two extra checks; send those. “In effect,” he said, “they are doing the same thing a lot of these entities are charging to do.”
