(NY Times) — Sustaining the flickering hope that human aging might somehow be decelerated, researchers have found they can substantially extend the average life span of obese mice with a specially designed drug. The drug, SRT-1720, protects the mice from the usual diseases of obesity by reducing the amount of fat in the liver and increasing sensitivity to insulin. These and other positive health effects enable the obese mice to live 44 percent longer, on average, than obese mice that did not receive the drug, according to a team of researchers led by Rafael de Cabo, a gerontologist at the National Institute on Aging. Drugs closely related to SRT-1720 are now undergoing clinical trials in humans. The findings “demonstrate for the first time the feasibility of designing novel molecules that are safe and effective in promoting longevity and preventing multiple age-related diseases in mammals,” Dr. de Cabo and colleagues write in Thursday’s issue of the new journal Scientific Reports. Their conclusion supports claims that had been thrown in doubt by an earlier study that was critical of SRT-1720. A drug that makes it costfree to be obese may seem more a moral hazard than an incentive to good health.

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– WORLD/NATION–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
BEIRUT, Lebanon (NY Times) — Thousands of Syrians took to the streets across the country on Friday calling for the downfall of President Bashar alAssad, keeping up the pressure in the five-month-old uprising a day after an alliance of nations led by the United States publicly called on him for the first time to step down and toughened sanctions against his government. At least 18 people were reported
killed, including some soldiers who disobeyed orders to shoot at protesters. Syrians have been demonstrating on Fridays after noon prayers since the uprising began in March, and activists on the official Facebook page for the Syrian Revolution are calling this week’s demonstrations “Friday of the beginnings of victory.” Activists and residents reached in Syria reported
shooting in several areas across the country, despite Mr. Assad’s assertion two days earlier that all military operations against the opposition had ended. They said that 15 demonstrators were killed in the southern Dara’a Province, where the first protests began five months ago after security forces arrested and tortured high school students caught scrawling antigovernment graffiti on walls.
Fewer youths to be deported in new policy WASHINGTON (NY Times) — The Obama administration announced Thursday that it would suspend deportation proceedings against many illegal immigrants who pose no threat to national security or public safety. The new policy is expected to help thousands of illegal immigrants who came to the United States as young children, graduated from high school and want to go on to college or serve in the armed forces. White House and immigration officials said they would exercise “prosecutorial discretion” to focus enforcement efforts on cases involving criminals

and people who have flagrantly violated immigration laws. Under the new policy, the secretary of homeland security, Janet Napolitano, can provide relief, on a case-by-case basis, to young people who are in the country illegally but pose no threat to national security or to the public safety. The decision would help many intended beneficiaries of legislation that has been stalled in Congress for a decade. The sponsor of the legislation, Senator Richard J. Durbin of Illinois, the No. 2 Senate Democrat, has argued that “these young people should not be punished for their parents’ mistakes.”
THE TREE OF LIFE
This 2011 American drama film chronicles the origins and meaning of life through the eyes of a 1950s Texas family, while also featuring sci-fi and surrealist themes and imagery through space and the birth of life on Earth.
(NY Times) — Stocks closed lower in worldwide financial markets on Friday, plagued by continued concerns about slower economic growth and the ability of banks and governments to cope with balance-sheet problems. Turmoil swept through Asian and European markets and then carried over into the United States, where the broader market wavered between gains and losses on Friday before closing down more than 4 percent for the week. Concerns lingered on Friday about the economy and about the euro zone’s debt troubles, much as they had in previous weeks. Analysts were also quick to point out that on a day before a summer weekend, low volumes could unfold into a “bleed” toward the end of the trading session — and indeed, what had been a relatively placid trading session in New York turned downward in the final hours.

White Mountains Cultural Festival comes to the Valley this weekend
Residents and visitors are invited to participate in the third weekend of the White Mountains Cultural Festival: 8 Days of Weeks today and tomorrow throughout the Mount Washington Valley and beyond. The region-wide collaborative festival — with dance, music, visual arts and lots of hands-on opportunities — takes place on the four weekends in August, and celebrates the arts, heritage and environment of the White Mountains and the 100th anniversary of the Weeks Act — the federal legislation that led to the creation of the White Mountain National Forest. Most festival programs are free of charge. This weekend’s festival information center is at the Conway Scenic Railroad station in North Conway, where you can learn about festival programs and participate in hands-on arts projects including “Picturing the Forest,” a mural-making project with eco-artist Cynthia Robinson (Saturday and Sunday), “Forest Songs and Stories,” an informal drop-in singalong and simple instrument making with natural and recycled materials with Deborah Stuart and Will Cabell (today); and “Make Your Own Forest Comics” with cartoonist Colin Tedford (tomorrow). This morning Jeanne Limmer will lead “Forest Alive!” The program begins at 9 a.m. with a participatory movement experience at the Scenic Railroad and continues with a unique premiere of a site-based presentation at Cathedral Ledge at 10 a.m. (with Brian Charles providing musical accompaniment on the didgeridoo). Throughout tomorrow the NH Writers’ Project presents “A Look at the Literature of the White Mountains, Past and Present, as seen through the eyes of summer visitors and writers who call the North Country home.” The free program includes talks and discussions.

Harry G. True Court dedication is today BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
FRYEBURG — A former Fryeburg Academy basketball player is giving the ultimate gift to his coach. Chris Gordon-Somers, of Orlando, Fla., has made a donation to Fryeburg Academy to name the basketball court in the Ada Cram Wadsworth Arena for his former teacher, coach and mentor, the late Harry G. True. Somers from Fryeburg Academy’s Class of 1975 was a standout basketball player at the academy. Now retired, he still considers the school and Harry True to be instrumental in his life. “Mr. True was a great man,” Somers said. “He was like a father to me and I loved him very much. I am happy to be able to do this in his memory.”
A dedication of the Harry G. True Court will be held today, at 6 p.m. as part of the academy’s reunion weekend. True, a former Fryeburg Academy headmaster, selectman and state legislator, died at the age of 80 in August of 2009. “For 10 important years, Harry True was the heart, soul and conscience of Fryeburg Academy,” current headmaster Dan Lee said praising True for his love of young people. “He left his imprint on this institution and influenced the lives of hundreds of students. His generosity, spirit and interest in the young will never be forgotten.” Anyone wishing to attend the dedication ceremony today is asked to contact the Fryeburg Academy Alumni Office at (207) 935-2001, Ext. 3137.

Fougere awaiting green light from school board to cheer BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
CONWAY — Holly Fougere, who founded the immensely successful dance team at Kennett High School four years ago, has offered her services to the district to take over and coach the cheerleading squad at KHS this fall. Fougere, who saw the position advertised two weeks ago, applied and attended the Conway School Board’s Aug. 8 meeting, was the lone applicant for the post. She had hoped to get the green light from the board to begin coaching in time for the start of the fall sports season, which began this past Monday for the majority of Kennett’s teams. Instead, Fougere will meet this Monday at 6 p.m. in non-public session with the board to discuss the position. “I still want to do it,” Fougere said by phone Thursday afternoon. “I’m hoping they just want to ask me a few questions and then we can be on our way.” Kennett High went without a fall and winter cheerleading/spirit team last year and appeared headed that way this fall. In fact, members of the co-curricular committee (John Skelton and Randy Davison, of the school board; school superintendent Carl Nelson; KHS Principal Neal Moylan; high school athletic director Kerry Brady; middle school athletic director Gredel Shaw; middle school principal Kevin Richard; and Conway Education Association members Chris Bailey and Jon Judge) were recommending hiring a freshman boys’ soccer coach for this fall by using funds for the vacant cheerleading position that was not filled last fall and has not received any applicants for this fall. Not all of the board was sold on that recommendation. “Cheerleading has become a huge sport nationwide,” board member Syndi White said at the July 25 meeting. “To minimize it and say don’t do it, it’s very important to some.”
“I think I’ve been able to make the dance team here successful and would like the opportunity to do the same with cheering.” “I know there are 10-12 girls who would still do it now,” added fellow board member Rick Breton. The board decided to advertise the cheering coach position for two more weeks to make sure no stone was left unturned. That’s when Fougere applied. Fougere will start her fifth year of dance team on Monday with a week long camp from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. She said she would hold cheering practice at a different time should she get the post. “I think I’ve been able to make the dance team here successful and would like the opportunity to do the same with cheering,” Fougere said at the Aug. 8 board meeting. “I think cheerleading has unfortunately gone by the wayside at Kennett. I have a lot of experience in cheering and in dance. For three years I coached a championship cheer squad at Winnisquam (Regional Middle School).” Fougere has cheering experience of her own having cheered for the Manchester Wolves, a professional Arena football team, in 2007. “I’d like to get going as soon as possible,” she said. “It takes a good one to two months to build up (the cheerleader’s) strength. I’m willing to put the time and effort in for the girls who want to put the time in as well as do the dance team. “I’m passionate about this,” Fougere added. “I’m willing to have the cheer squad if they are willing to have me.” The board said nothing after Fougere spoke during the first public comments portion of the Aug. 8 meeting. She has since been contacted and asked to meet with the board behind closed doors.

Saturday, Aug. 13 * Curling comes to Conway with the formation of the Mount Washington Valley Curling Club at Ham Arena. * Numerous bear sightings and complaints have been reported, which is unusual for August.

Tele-Talk
Who should be responsible for helping those in financial need? As the economy continues to falter, the town of Conway welfare office is getting "overwhelmed" with requests for assistance. "The implications of the larger economic picture are hitting us," town manager Earl Sires told selectmen this week. B.J. Parker, the town's general assistance officer, says the people who used to come in for help were mostly "young, inexperienced households," but now she's seeing more middle-class people. They aren't familiar with the welfare system, and their pride often makes them wait until all their resources are maxed out before they come in, Parker said. Part of the problem for the town — and for those seeking the help — is that other groups and agencies the town has partnered with in the past are also feeling the economic pinch. "Everybody's resources are drying up," Sires said. This week's Tele-Talk: Who should be responsible for helping those in financial need? Call 733-5822 Saturday and Sunday and leave your comments on our machine. You may fax your responses to 356-8360 or e-mail them to news@conwaydailysun.com. Comments can also be posted on The Conway Daily Sun's Facebook page. Results will be published Tuesday.
Wednesday, Aug. 17 * The national economy has been faltering since 2008, but Conway officials say it wasn't until recently that the reverberations finally caught up with the town's welfare department. "We are over budget already," town manager Earl Sires tells selectmen. "The implications of the larger economic picture are hitting us." * Conway police need a search warrant to break up an underage drinking party that ended with the arrest of seven local teens, including several Kennett High athletes, and one 20-year-old man. see DIGEST page 10

Some of the comments posted on The Conway Daily Sun’s Facebook page this past week: Only 360 people — or 6 percent of registered voters — weighed in on the school budget at a special vote on Tuesday. Why was turnout so low? “People are probably away on vacation.” — Nora Smith Price “Because it doesn’t seem to matter what the people vote for, the elected officials will come up with a way to get the money anyway.” — Cathy Clark Hutchins “It’s a sad day that any election/vote gets less than 5 percent of the residents to participate. If you don’t vote you don’t get a say in how things are run and don’t have a right to complain. Voting is a right and a privilege. Use it or lose it. We had more people at the original deliberative meeting than this vote on the budget.” — Dawn James “I think the issue was that the new proposed budget (which was recommended by BOTH the school board and the budget committee) was close to the default budget. Either way the vote turned out, the schools would get funded. There was no controversy this time around to bring out the voters.” — Syndi Glod White “I think the town still has a bad taste in its mouth over the last election and that they think their vote does not count.” — Kevin Thompson “Because no matter what, the vote was not going to save any money! Talk about wasting taxpayer money, just for the schools to get their way! I am all for education, but the money wasted in this school system is ridiculous! Run it like a business! We have to cut to survive! It is time that the town and schools step up to the plate and get realistic!” — Darlene Trafford Leavitt The town of Conway is “overwhelmed” with requests for welfare assistance. “We are over budget already,” town manager Earl Sires reports. “Start drug testing when applying for welfare.” — Lionel Tetreault “Take the people that don’t need it and are just abus-
ing the system off so the people that really need it can use it. I have met lots of people that are on welfare or disability that are perfectly capable of working or taking care of themselves. Welfare should be a helping hand not a lifestyle. There should also be a limit maybe six to 12 months that you can collect. “This is town of Conway assistance, not state or federal welfare that you apply for and get checks forever. Drug testing alone would use up most of our tiny town welfare budget. The challenge is all the fed and state budget cuts are simply shifting the burden to the local. Our neighbors can’t get the help that used to be invisible to us when the state or feds took care of the expensive dirty work for us.” — Kline Seminars and Business Coaching “Drug tests are a great idea but it’s not the end all be all. I think visits to these people’s homes a few times a month to make sure these single moms/dads aren’t claiming welfare while their boyfriend/girlfriend are living with them and having an unclaimed income coming in. I see it all the time!” — Cheri Gagnon Stackpole “Drug testing and costs for home visits are cost prohibitive. The process for application for town assistance is pretty intense and comprehensive, as is the process to apply for state TANF welfare and federal disability. It’s easy to judge from the outside looking in and important to know that our perception is not always the reality of any situation. Because of confidentiality laws, etc., specific client information cannot be shared, but seriously, I’ve witnessed the system first hand with several clients in need and the process was tough enough to go through without making it more cumbersome for both staff and clients.” — Trisha Jacobson “There are 65 help wanted ads in The Conway Daily Sun right now! I’m more than willing to help someone in need but we cannot continue to give free handouts to people who refuse to even try getting a job. Sixty-five ads, with some businesses offering multiple positions! It’s time we all get real and voice our opinions to the folks who are abusing the system. Sorry if someone’s feelings or pride gets hurt but we should be focusing on getting them a job, not a handout.” — Brian Clarke

IN REVIEW NATIONAL PERSPECTIVE
Passion and Politics COLEBROOK, N.H. — It is in the nature of politics and of New Hampshire that things should heat up just as they cool down. Now the days are shorter, the evenings cooler, especially here in what is known as the Great North Woods. But the stakes are growing, the debates becoming hotter. There's a new wrangler in the race, Gov. Rick Perry of Texas, and he's the talk of many of the towns — the great hope for some, the great worry for others. And if you're just an observer, you can conclude that in the great scheme of things he is a great American character one way or the other. Already he has fulfilled every fear and hope, widening the definition of treason, thinking out loud about the fault lines in the global-climate debate, crowding others off the stage and, with the help of Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota, out of the Republican race. It remains to be seen whether this political cycle will be the GOP's to claim, but right now the Republicans are dominating the conversation. They have the passion and the sense of purpose. This summer their creed is ripped straight from Bismarck: "If there is to be a revolution, we would rather make it than suffer it." The miracle of the season isn't that the Republicans are making a revolution, but that President Barack Obama is in the role of defender of the old order. He thought of himself as the man who, to crib yet another line from Bismarck, might not be able to see "God's cards" but could at least "see where the Lord wishes to go" and "stumble after him." Instead, the president has merely stumbled, and how he went from the leader of the crowd outside the Bastille to the personification of the ancient regime is one of the great mysteries of the age. Indeed, his determination, offered last week, to try to recapture the offensive with a September speech only underlines the urgency that is gripping the Obama camp. So even though all the talk right now is of Perry and Bachmann (and let's not forget former Gov. Mitt Romney of Massachusetts, still the putative front-runner), the election is and always will be about Obama. He's not doing well by any reasonable and conventional measure — and that's without considering the peculiar challenge he faces due to the erosion of electoral votes in states he took in 2008 but which, because of population changes, would provide a smaller payout in 2012. Presidents have limped toward re-election fights before and prevailed. Harry Truman did that in 1948 against greater odds than Obama faced; who thought the Democrats could win a fifth consecutive race with the party split so badly? The better example might be the Obama hero, Abraham Lincoln, who was no sure bet for reelection in 1864, with the Civil War still grinding on, vital questions about slavery still unresolved, and a former general running as a peace candidate for the Democrats. Truman and Lincoln became emblems for their respective parties by staying the course, an old political phrase revived by Ronald Reagan, who didn't look like a cinch for re-election either at this stage of the 1984 campaign but who nonetheless won 49 states.

But many embattled presidents don't make it to that second term. Two recent examples are telling. The one that makes Democrats cringe is Jimmy Carter, who lost to Reagan in 1980 in an economic environment (deficits every year, frightening energy prices, high unemployment) that is arguably less severe than the one Obama presides over. The one that gives Democrats pause is George H.W. Bush, who was defeated by Gov. Bill Clinton of Arkansas as the deficit soared. Today the elder Bush, his health faltering but his uncommon chivalry still robust, is a bit of a bipartisan hero, and yet he left the White House after only four years. Obama faces another challenge, perhaps the most ironic one of all. Since the Reagan years, passion has become an important element of American politics. Reagan was passionate about America; Clinton was passionate about changing the direction of both the Democratic Party and the nation; George W. Bush was passionate about revenge and security after the terrorist attacks of 2001 gave his administration and life new purpose and meaning. Obama was passionate in the 2008 campaign, and anyone who was in a room or hall with him was rendered passionate by his performance. As president he has shown grace and intelligence, but he's leaned toward the precise and away from the passionate, and it's a strain to recall even a sentence he has uttered in the White House that can match Oscar Wilde's goal of having "struck one chord to reach the ear of God." That's why the ear of politicos twitched with fascination when, just the other day, Perry said, "I get a little bit passionate," adding, "I think you want a president who is passionate about America — that's in love with America." That one phrase may have been the most meaningful yet uttered in Campaign 2012, for it was a swipe at Obama's cool demeanor even as it raised questions, so congenial to the hearts of conservatives and so galling to liberals, about whether the president isn't more a critic of America than a defender of America. Ironically, the Perry offensive has pushed Romney into the space that is also occupied by Obama: the cool operator acceptable to the old guard and to the very big money mandarins who are the personification of tea party resentments. Romney is no paladin of passion either —his best line from 2008 was when he playfully quoted his wife as saying that he wasn't in her wildest dreams — and that could be a problem, both in his political profile and in his performance here and in Iowa. A Gallup International poll taken this month shows the former governor with less "positive intensity," which is a statistical concept but also part of the definition of a successful modern candidate. Bachmann and Perry lead the polls in passion. Romney leads the pack in money. The question this year, not only for Romney but for Obama as well, is whether money can buy you love. And whether passion counts. David M. Shribman is executive editor of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. He can be reached at dshribman@ post-gazette.com.

There is support, caring and advocacy To the editor: I am responding to the recent article about Natasha Repass and her plan to take back the day of Aug. 22 by skydiving. I admire her courage and determination to turn the trauma of both her rape and the long court process leading to her assailant’s conviction into something positive. Her idea of forming a non-profit to benefit victims of sexual violence and incest is admirable. I would like to share my own experience, as both a victim of incest as a child, and much much later as an advocate for Starting Point, which provides services for survivors of both domestic and sexual violence. My first experience with Starting Point was quite some time ago, when I joined a support group for incest survivors. It was there that I felt safe, to simply watch, or sometimes to participate. It was there that I began my journey of healing. At that time, I didn’t know it was facilitated by two Starting Point volun-
teers, but I was so grateful for the support I received! I entered trauma therapy for further healing, and when I felt strong enough, I too turned my past experience into something positive — I became an advocate for Starting Point. My training was thorough, and continues regularly, so that I can better serve victims of both sexual and domestic violence. I believe Starting Point needs to become known for all its services, to both males and females, gays and straights, young and old. I want people to know that there is support, caring and advocacy any time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for however long it takes. I wish Natasha well on her healing journey and her efforts to help others who have experienced sexual violence of any kind. And my larger wish is that such efforts may result in less need for such services. Kathy Stewart Eaton
Fix bad D.C. politics with 28th amendment To the editor: The 28th Amendment. “No private money shall be spent in support of any Federal election.” That’s all we need. Those 12 words will free D.C. politicians from the strings that come with corporate and union contributions. D.C. politicians aren’t stupid. Stupid doesn’t get to D.C. They know what’s best for America. They can’t do what’s best because they might not be able to raise
enough money for their next campaign. The 28th Amendment would fix this. As far as I know, the only people working on getting the 28th Amendment going is Public Citizen; and their effort is not even as broad as these 12 words. Go to www. citizen.org. Join their ranks. Tell them we need to add these 12 words to the Constitution. Art Micallef Bartlett

Wild river?
Still spring-break atmosphere on Saco on weekends, but waters are calmer than they used to be BY DAYMOND STEER THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
FRYEBURG — A recent sunny Saturday afternoon on the Saco River resembled a scene from MTV spring break. The landscape was dominated by shirtless young men and their bikini-clad girlfriends drinking beers and having fun. Authorities and some Saco paddlers say the atmosphere has been cleaned up a lot in the last few years. Whether the experience has been sanitized too much or not not enough is a matter of opinion. A reporter went to the Saco on Saturday, Aug. 13. He saw waves and waves of college age men and women floating or paddling down river, in canoes, kayaks and inflatable rafts — cheerfully hooting and hollering as they go. The occasional air horn would sound too. The shallow stretches of river by Canal Bridge have a white sandy bottom that’s worthy of a tropical paradise. Surprisingly, there weren’t many beer cans along the bank. But four to five years ago, the scene was much more out of control and even dangerous, said police chief Philip Weymouth. Weymouth came to Fryeburg about three years ago but has heard stories about what the Saco was like previously. Years ago, rowdy river-goers would shout swears and hurl beer cans at officers. When Weymouth arrived three years ago, he found drunks falling out of canoes, people hanging off of barges, and even some violence. see SACO page 17

McCarthy questions sheriff’s spending Page 16 — THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Saturday, August 20, 2011
BY DAYMOND STEER THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
OSSIPEE — A showdown between the sheriff and a state representative from Conway could break out at the next county delegation meeting on Monday. In county government, a group of 14 state representatives called the delegation approves county budgets which the county commission manages with the help of department heads. The delegation is scheduled to meet at 9 a.m. at the county complex. At a recent subcommittee meeting, Rep. Frank McCarthy (R-Conway) accused Sheriff Chris Conley of breaking the law by buying boots for himself. McCarthy has been lobbying for tight spending controls on county
departments and county commissioners since the budget season when he also alleged that Conley illegally transferred $150,000 worth of line items within the sheriff's office budget. While at the subcommittee meeting, McCarthy quoted a state law and inserted an accusation that the sheriff illegally bought boots and gloves. "A public servant is guilty of a misdemeanor if, with purpose of benefit to himself or another or to harm another, he knowingly commits an unauthorized act (like buying $200 pair of boots) which purports to be an act of his office, or knowingly refrains from performing a duty imposed on him by law or clearly inherent in the nature of his office." When asked directly if the sheriff committed a crime, McCarthy said
he brought up the situation with the boots and gloves at the previous delegation meeting and will bring it up again on Monday. "I asked that by the next delegation meeting (Aug. 22) that we have something in writing that shows where the authority comes from for him to purchase those items," said McCarthy. "If he can't show us the authority in writing he should reimburse the county." McCarthy bets no one will be able to demonstrate the sheriff had that authority. The sheriff doesn't have a uniform allowance. Only the unionized deputies have a uniform allowance, said McCarthy. "If there's no special agreement and he's not covered under the teamster contract, what gives him the authority to spend several hundred dollars of taxpayer money for personal items,"
asked McCarthy. But Rep. Harry Merrow (R-Ossipee) wondered if it made sense to give an allowance to the deputies but not to the boss. Rep. Steve Schmidt (R-Wolfeboro) suggested clear policies need to be developed for what county officials and employees can and can't do with taxpayer money. Schmidt said during his career in industry, he always got handbooks that clearly state what was allowed Subcommittee chair Joe Fleck said the delegation needs to know what the law means. Once that's clear, lawmakers can enforce it in the future. He didn't want to look backwards. In a phone interview, Conley wondered why he heard about McCarthy's accusation from a reporter. Conley said see MCCARTHY page 20

“I remember knife fights and a guy with an ax, a guy with a paddle trying to hit somebody with it,” said Weymouth, adding police would have to seize gallons of alcohol and thousands of dollars of fireworks. “Now we’re not seeing that. I’m not aware of a single call this year involving a weapon, an ax or a paddle.” Audree Burns, of Portland, Maine, said she saw some river enforcement while floating and drinking down the river with her friends. “They are taking good care of us,” said Burns. “They are making sure we have enough floatation devices per raft. They are good! But not everyone was thrilled with the enforcement. “It would be nice if there was more water and less police,” Frederick Graham,of Boston, Mass, who was going down river with his friends in a small aluminum boat. Weymouth said people like Graham can stay home if they don’t like what’s happening on the river. In the last three years, the Saco River Recreational Council and police have become more proactive in terms of enforcement and educating people on the rules. Police used to have arrest people before they
even got in the river, said Weymouth. But today, the vast majority of people are very friendly toward police; some even ask officers to pose for pictures. “We publicize that this is what we’re doing and if you don’t want to be part of it, leave,” said Weymouth. The river is patrolled by the Fryeburg police and the Saco River Recreational Council, a non-profit group aimed at keeping the river clean, educating the public and assisting law enforcement.The council has been in existence for nearly 30 years. It has a budget of about $115,000, derived mostly from rental companies and cooperative agreements with the state and the town. Council executive director Bob Tagliaferri said the improvements in river-goers’ behavior is due to several factors, including the growth in the council’s budget which pays for river clean up, education and increased law enforcement patrols. There had been police patrols on the river previously, but Weymouth has been “instrumental” in having them be consistent. Police also instituted a barge permit application. Barges are floating contraptions made of plywood made to look like everything from a putting green to a
platform for the Stanley Cup. The problem with the barges was people would abandon them on the river when they get done with their trip. The town has an ordinance that allows the council to take a deposit on barges to ensure they are disposed of properly. Weymouth said drinking in public is illegal but the question becomes how public is being in the middle or the river or the woods. Most drinkers are discreet enough. The law says people need to be warned about public drinking before they can be arrested. Recently Weymouth said he’s seen more families on the river than college students. “We are not seeing the excessively intoxicated individuals on the river paddling. I only encountered two (last) weekend,”said Weymouth. “They weren’t disruptive, they were in fun mode.” The younger crowd only dominates the river four or five weekends per year, Tagliaferri said. Midweek the river is much less crowded and is a great time for families to go for a paddle. The vast majority of river goers are good people, and authorities are trying to reduce the tiny percentage of trouble-makers see next page

Most people The Conway Daily Sun spoke to on Saturday were from Massachusetts. Statistics provided from Michelle Broyer of the Saco River Recreational Council also show that a high proportion of Saco River visitors are from the Bay State. She handed out 300 fire permits to campers between June and September of last year, of which 138 were given to Massachusetts residents, 68 to Maine residents, 58 to New Hampshire residents, 17 to Connecticut residents, five to Rhode Island residents, five to Vermont residents, and five to New York residents. The council’s other functions are to teach people about safety, Maine rules, and how to protect the environment. One of the council’s main concerns is stopping campers from bringing out-of-state firewood because doing so can spread invasive inspects capable of destroying Maine’s forests. The council also employs young people to pick up trash along the river during the week and manage logistics on the weekends. Those young people are called River Runners. “A lot of kids want this position but only a select number get the position,” said Beth Griffin who manages the Swans Fall site. Cecily Westervelt, of Road Island, wasn’t on the river to float and drink. Rather, she was just taking a dip. She came to the area for a horseback ridding. She and the other horse riders cross the river and also take their horses to the river bank to drink. It’s a beautiful area and she’s happy to see people enjoying the river, she said. “But I have to say it is a little wild,” said Westervelt. “We had some prob-
lems yesterday, like being stuck in the middle of a Frisbee game.” The horse riders needed to cross the river at campgrounds and the campers weren’t halting their activities to let the horses and riders pass. The riders saw some beer cans but not that many compared to what she sees in Rhode Island. The Saco’s water is among the purest in the state and has been ranked second only to the St. John River, said Tagliaferri. A Boston-based kickball team’s members were at Swan’s Falls. The group consists of men and women in their late 20s. They were here to camp and canoe. Kickballer Michelle Rothman, of Boston, said there was an adequate amount of enforcement on the beach on Friday night. This was Rothman’s first trip to the Saco. “We love to go camping and canoeing on the Saco,” said Rothman. “It’s been a great day.” Fellow kickballer Adam Fullerton said this was his third time on the river. He says visiting the Saco is a good time for people who know what they are getting into. Fullerton says expect to see some beer cans in the river about every half mile. Despite the drinking, the other canoeist didn’t seem to be too rowdy. Members of his group enjoyed a few beers on the river, he said. “We’re not out to set any (drinking) records,” said Fullerton. The number of people partying seemed to be much lower than it was two years ago but the intensity of the party people seems to be the same, said Fullerton. There used to be a lot of congestion from canoe traffic. Fullerton said the enforcement has been good. see next page

“They try to get you to respect the area,” said Fullerton. “They could enforce a lot more. They could arrest all of us, but they don’t.” Fiddleheads campsite owner George Cole agrees that behavior has improved in recent years. The clientele that doesn’t want to have river enforcement should go elsewhere, he said. The low water levels this year on the Saco created more beach so campers aren’t crowded together as much. Cole doesn’t think there’s been a decline in the number of people visiting the Saco. The effort to police the river wasn’t enough for Johanne Beland, of Quebec, Canada, who was kayaking with her family. She said the party atmosphere was inappropriate for her young children. “It was the worst experience I’ve ever had on a kayak,” she said. There would be a lot more people upset with the party scene on the river if the Saco River Recreational Council didn’t exist, said Griffin. Paul Murphy, of Massachusetts, came to the Saco with five other people to celebrate his sister’s, Cassie’s, 26th birthday. A reporter found the Murphys at Swan’s Falls. Murphy’s party was having a good time despite a few canoe tips. “We decided to go get a couple of canoes and get wasted,” said Murphy. Cassie said they camped at Fiddleheads on Friday night and went to Center Conway to put in the canoes. They were going to do a day-long canoe trip and camp again someplace on the river. When asked if she was having a good time, Cassie replied “woo hoo!” before jumping into her canoe and taking off. The Saco River Recreational Council will be holding a river cleanup day on Saturday, Sept. 17. Volunteers and food donations are requested. Participants are asked to register in advance. For more information visit www. sacorivercouncil.org. “We’re out here to help you, not to give you a hard time,” said Weymouth.

the Conway representative has never asked him about the sheriff's office or expressed any concern about his deputies. Conley said he uses the boots and gloves at work. Conley said McCarthy ought to bring his concerns to the New Hampshire attorney general's office. Conley said if asked he'd answer anyone's questions about his office. "If he wants to talk about boots and gloves, I can talk about boots and gloves," said Conley. "It's very unfortunate I will have to respond to his open-ended allegations." Rep. David Babson (R-Ossipee) agreed with McCarthy that there needs to be controls to prevent abuses of taxpayer money. For example, a previous sheriff bought $2,100 worth of flowers from his own florist shop. Babson suggested a policy could be created to allow the delegation to vote on budget changes by e-mail. Doing that would save on gas money. "I've seen some real shenanigans going on here," said Babson who added abuses are hidden in the county's credit card bills.. For months, McCarthy has been lobbying for a resolution to have tighter spending controls on county department heads and commissioners. McCarthy said his resolution is supported by state law. The subcommittee will seek a legal opinion on McCarthy's resolution. The subcommittee also asked county
commissioner Dorothy Solomon to find out how other New Hampshire counties do line-item transfers within accounts. McCarthy's main point was the county delegation takes a lot of time to go through the budget line item by line item and when county officers move money around that's usurping the representatives' authority. There's a state law that allows the delegation to require the commissioners to get permission from the delegation to move money around. McCarthy suggests setting the amount at $1,000. McCarthy said there would be no need to convene the entire delegation if a much smaller executive committee were to be formed. Currently, the entire delegation also serves as the executive committee. The subcommittee directed the county commission to find out how New Hampshire's other counties deal with money transfers within an account.The subcommittee also wanted to get a legal opinion about how money can be moved between line items. But Merrow said county commissioners ought have the power to move money. Merrow, who is also a selectman, said the town couldn't function if money couldn't be moved around within a budget. Schmidt said the delegation should create clear guidelines for what county officers can and cannot do with their budgets.

PINKHAM NOTCH — Former world mountain biking champion Ned Overend confirmed that he will compete again this year in the Mt. Washington Auto Road Bicycle Hillclimb today. Overend’s return to the ultra-steep Mt. Washington Auto Road intensifies what was already looming as the liveliest contest in this race in recent memory. A mountain biking legend who, at 54, continues to outride much younger cyclists, he is one of four of five riders with a reasonable chance of being first to the top of the highest peak in the northeast United States today. Overend, of Durango, Colo., placed second in his last two appearances on the Auto Road, 2006 and 2009, following a fourth-place finish in 2005, his first appearance here. In this 7.6-mile climb to the 6288-foot Mt. Washington summit, he is well matched against defending champion Nico Toutenhoofd of Boulder, Colo.; last year’s runnerup David “Tinker” Juarez of Whittier, Califi., also a champion mountain biker; the 2010 third-place finisher Timothy Ahearn, of Woodstock, Conn.; and newcomer Dereck Treadwell of Laurens, N.Y., who last month won Newton’s Revenge, the other bike race held each summer on the same all-uphill course, in a time close to these other riders’ best. The women’s race meanwhile continues to pose the question of whether Sari Anderson, a multi-sport adventure athlete from Carbondale, Colo., can beat defending champion Marti Shea. Shea, 48, has won six consecutive races on the Auto Road. In addition to winning last year’s Hillclimb in her personal best time for the course, she has won Newton’s Revenge

every year it has been held — 2006 and 2008-2011. In 2007, severe weather canceled both races. Anderson, 32, has won numerous ski mountaineering races in the Rockies and been on winning teams in adventure races in North America and abroad. On Ned Overend wheels she is primarily a mountain biker like Overend and Juarez, whose Mt. Washington performances show that road bikers enjoy no clear advantage on the Auto Road’s 12 percent average grade. The 39th annual Mt. Washington Auto Road Bicycle Hillclimb starts at 8:40 a.m. In all, 600 riders from across the United States and from several Canadian provinces will test themselves against the road that professional cyclists have called tougher than the most difficult climbs in the Tour de France. Overend won the U.S. national off-road biking championship six times between 1986 and 1992, won the UCI world mountain biking championship in 1990, and twice was the Xterra world champion see next page

(1997 and 1999). He first raced in the Mt. Washington Auto Road Bicycle Hillclinb in 2005, placing fourth, then returned in 2006 to take second, beaten only by Olympic gold medalist and Tour de France stage winner Tyler Hamilton. In 2009 Overend returned to Mt. Washington and narrowly missed the $1000 first prize, finishing just two seconds behind the winner, Phil Gaimon of Ga. Overendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s past performances on the mountain make him a favorite. His best time here was 54 minutes 41 seconds in 2006, which is two and a half minutes faster than Toutenhoofdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s winning time last year (57:26), and he was nearly as fast in 2009 (54:43), taking second behind a professional rider (Gaimon) who is three decades younger. Toutenhoofd, a 43-year-old Category 1 amateur, was runnerup in 2008 and fourth in 2009. Last year, he followed the lead pack for two miles before moving forward and winning in a fine solo effort, in a time of 57:26. Juarez, the only rider to go out in the lead pack and not lose significant ground, finished second in 58:08. Tim Ahearn was a close third in 58:22. Adding to the excitement this week is that Juarez also enjoys near-legendary status in mountain biking. Now 50 years old himself, Juarez was a teenage champion in the early days of BMX off-road racing in the 1970s, later a high-profile pro in the more modern version of the sport. He rode mountain bike events in the 1996 Olympics, won the U.S. National Mountain Bike Championship three times, and earned a gold medal in the Pan-American Games. He turned to long distance road cycling in 2001, following his induction into the Mountain Bike Hall of Fame. He and Overend have met in many previous competitions, but never in this relatively short but also extremely steep race. The other possible favorite is Treadwell, 36, a former All-American distance runner at the Univer-
sity of Maine who now coaches at Hardwick College in New York State. Treadwell enjoyed an impressive Mt. Washington debut last month, when he won Newtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Revenge by riding in the second wave of starters yet recording a faster time than any of the Top Notch group. His time in Newtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Revenge, 57:41, is very close to Toutenhoofdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s winning time in 2010. Anderson adds suspense to the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race partly because of her renown in grueling endurance events elsewhere and partly because she has never raced on the Auto Road before. Although her road-biking experience is limited, this year Anderson placed third in the 133-kilometer Megeve- Mont Blanc road race in the French Alps. Her endurance is beyond question; the challenge for her, as for many riders who are familiar with the longer and higher roads and trails of the Rockies, may be how she handles the shorter but steeper Auto Road. Shea, a native who, like Treadwell, was an AllAmerican distance runner â&#x20AC;&#x201D; she ran at Boston University â&#x20AC;&#x201D; has held a steady claim to the title of New Englandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Queen of the Mountains. Besides having won Newtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Revenge five times and having added the Hillclimb championship last year, Shea is the overall points leader in the B.U.M.P.S. series of nine uphill bike races in New England and New York. Now living in Marblehead, Mass., she has won all five of the races in that series this summer. A dedicated amateur who declined the opportunity to turn professional because of the pressure she saw in pro cycling to use performance-enhancing drugs, she has seemed to grow more confident with each passing year. Her experience and leg strength will be a formidable challenge for Anderson and the other women in the field. The other top women are familiar to Shea: Kristen Gohr , 40, of Reading, Mass.; Carol Meader, 45, Raymond Maine; and sprightly 52-year-old Dominique Codere of Montreal. Gohr finished second to Shea in last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hillclimb.

I paddled quickly in choppy water down the shore, and turned into Bear Cove, where the waves decreased dramatically, then ceased altogether, leaving a glassy surface. In the morning light I paddled over wide smooth ledges a few feet beneath my kayak. On an inner shore, one or two morning people walked out on docks. I then entered Rattlesnake Cove, and headed for the wrinkled shoreline of Five Finger Point. In the middle of the cove, a monarch butterfly flew in
front of me, then straight ahead from the bow of my boat. I followed, and was able to keep up. I had never followed a monarch in a kayak before. Watching it closely, I noticed that any slight ripple in the air currents effected its flight. Combined with its erratic flying technique, it bounced up and down in the air. I once again marveled that in the fall, monarchs flew like this all the way to southern Mexico. I wondered how they were doing in this world, more dominated by man all the time. In the past couple years, I had seen less and less monarchs. A few days later I looked them up.

Movie review: ‘The Tree of Life’
I believe there are three kinds of films: film as art, film as entertainment and film that has both artistic and entertainment value. Terrence Malick's “The Tree of Life” falls squarely in the art category. It is a film that will confound and bore some, while leaving others enthralled. This is a film that defies how we as an audience have been trained to watch films. There is no real plot to speak of. The film is certainly about something, but there is no three-

anavct structure — no clear beginning, middle or end. Questions like Alec Kerr “What's going on?” Or “What does that mean?” are very likely while watching “The Tree of Life.” The best way to process the film is emotionally. Many scenes play with little or no dialogue and rely solely on the power of the images and accompanying music. To be sure this is often an astoundingly beautiful film. If anything, simply looking at the visuals of the film is worthy.

The primary focus of the film is a husband and wife (Brad Pitt and Jessica Chastain) and their three sons (Hunter McCracken, Laramie Eppler and Tye Sheridan). Pitt, a former naval man, is a harsh disciplinarian, who is psychological and, eventually, physically abusive to his family. Chastain plays a sweet, innocent, childlike mother, who, despite the passage of time, always retains an ageless beauty. Through this family, Malick is attempting to explore the meaning of life, love and existence. It is an ambiguous exploration to say the least that yields some revelations, but no clear answers, which is probably the point. There are no true answers to these questions, only the search for them. The acting in the film is strong throughout and has a natural quality. It's almost as if we aren't watching actors, but merely peering in on real life. Yet at the same time there's an ethereal quality to much of the film. Pitt is very good as the stern father who as an audience we grow to find loathsome and yet does have moments of sympathy. Some films would portray the character simply as an abusive monster, but there's more complexity here. The film looks at how strict disciple without compassion can cause the opposite of the desired effect. The oldest son Jack, played by the excellent McCracken, turns bitter, rebellious and even mean. He also
loses respect for his mother because she allows herself to be treated so poorly. Jack is later played by Sean Penn, but the actor is asked to do little more than brood and look weary. The older Jack does allow the audience a clue, though, on how to possibly process a film that at times seem impenetrable. What we are seeing, at least in part, are likely Jack's memories. The film jumps around time, much like someone flipping through memories and, as with memories, there is a certain dreamlike quality. Much of the film is filled with seemingly unrelated images of nature — crashing ocean waves, waterfalls, sunflowers, sunsets — so much so that, at times, the film feels like a nature documentary. Malick even shows us nothing less than the creation of the universe and progression of our planet. There are even brief scenes featuring dinosaurs. It is hard to say what these visuals have to do with the family at the center of the film except to place them into a larger context of existence. This is most definitely not a film for everyone. It is slow and meandering and certainly will try many people's patience. Still there's something there. If anything, this is a conversation starter even if only to figure out what you just watched. “The Tree of Life” is playing at The Majestic Theatre at The Conway Cafe in Conway Village.

Country Ecology: Indian pipes

carbon stores, not from photosynthesis, but by stealing them from the mycorrhizal fungus living in the root zone of the forest. Mycorrhizal fungi are beneficial (symbiotic) organisms that vastly expand the absorptive surface area of a tree’s root system, and aid in uptake of specific nutrients. In exchange for scavenging for nutrients, the tree reciprocates by providing carbohydrates for the fungus. Germinating seedlings of Indian pipe chemically mimic the tree’s root system causing the mycorrhizal fungi to attach to the roots of this imposter in a kind of biological identity theft. The tree sends its sugars produced in photosynthesis down to the fungus mycelium, which in turn passes some along to the thieving Indian pipe. This arrangement is called epiparasitism. Atmospheric carbon dioxide is photosynthesized into sucrose, which is transported to the roots of a tree. The mycorrhizal fungus takes this sucrose and transforms it into trehalose or sugar alcohols, which are transported to the rest of the fungal mycelium. (In return the fungus aids the tree in absorption of water and essential minerals, especially phosphorous,) The Monotropa absorbs the sugars from the fungus by "fooling" the fungus into thinking it's forming a mycorrhizal relationship--but in fact the Monotropa is really parasitizing the fungus! Thus the carbohydrates pass from the tree to Monotropa via their common mycorrhizal partner, in what is termed a source-sink relationship. In other words, the sugars flow from where they are made to where they are being used. Thus, this is a three-way relationship between a photosynthetic tree, a mycorrhizal fungus, and a parasitic plant! Indian pipe is only able to feed on one group of mycorrhizal fungi, the Russula. These beneficial fungi are able to attach to a wide variety of our tree species including oaks and beech. Cool, moist and shaded conditions favoring the accumulation of thick deposits of leaf litter favor the development of this mycorrhizal fungus, thus marking the kind of location where Indian pipe is likely to grow, and then enjoyably be seen by our eyes.

Whenever we pleasantly walk through late summer’s woodlands, Indian pipe often turns upward in those forest floors displaying considerable leaf litter. We all know it gets by without photosynthesizing with chlorophyll, but there are some surprising aspects to note about this plant beyond common knowledge. I have only recently learned it is not a fungus at all--just because it's white and doesn't have any chlorophyll. It's really a flowering plant! Sources say this is one of about 3000 species of non-photosynthetic (I.e. Heterotrophic) flowering plants. So, how does this plant survive by foregoing photosynthesis? The following might be helpful in understanding its complex relationship within the forest. Thoroughly native to temperate zones of the United States, our spooky Indian pipe has a wider range of distribution than almost any modern plant, indicating it probably evolved over the Cretaceous period during the peak of the dinosaur era before the supercontinent of Laurasia separated. Currently, Monotropa is classified in the Ericaceae, which is usually called the heath family but confusingly may also be called the blueberry or azalea or rhododendron family. Indian pipe is an herbaceous woodland wildflower of the eastern deciduous forest of the United States and Canada, but in addition, it’s also found in high, cool mountains of Central America and northern parts of South America, Japan, China, the Himalayas of southern Asia and India. Indian pipe grows 6-to 8-inches tall. It’s an unbranched plant with a solitary nodding flower that pushes up through soil with its crooked flower already formed. Usually several stems arise from an underground crown. The stem, the scalelike leaves and the flower itself are waxy, extremely fragile and white or sparingly infused with pink. Because of its lack of chlorophyll, it’s sometimes called “ghost plant” or “corpse plant.” The single fivepetal flower is usually an inch long. When the bloom is pollinated, it rotates upward and the seed capsule matures in an upright position. The stems turn black as they die. Flowers appear in late summer and autumn following a soaking rain. Monotropa uniflora, the ghost plant Monotropa uniflora can actually grow in dark environments because it is not dependent on light for photosynthesis. You’ll probably find this angiosperm in the rich habitats of dense moist forests, often where it is too shaded for autotrophic (photosynthetic) growth. Finding this ghost plant is an indication of your being in very humic woods, and one could also be on the lookout for lots of interesting fungi in this shade. Instead of generating energy from sunlight, Indian pipe is parasitic, more specifically being a myco-heterotroph. This means its hosts are actually those certain fungi that are mycorrhizal with trees, meaning it ultimately obtains th its energy from photosynthetic trees towering above, and through their processes with helpful fungi. It lives by ecological thievery. Indian pipe derives its

They weren’t doing that great. Over the past ten years, they have dropped by 40 percent or more. One reason is illegal logging of the fir forests in Mexico, where they spend the winter in dormancy. Also, in the U.S., genetically modified crops have allowed increased use of herbicide. This has killed off millions of acres of meadows full of milkweed, the plant that the monarch virtually lives on. Also, development has changed the face of their migration route. Also, climate change has caused harsh rain storms to move in from the Pacific, devastating dormant populations of monarchs in Mexico. Climate change will also increase the length of their migration route, making their trek to Mexico longer. Enjoy them while you can. I spied a shadowy cove on Five Finger Point, and put in. The loop trail was a few feet from the shore. I dragged my dark green kayak across it and up into the woods quite a way, until it was tucked nicely behind an elderly oak. Then I
walked back to the trail and headed inland towards the Rattlesnakes. Five Finger Point and part of East and West Rattlesnake are owned by the University of New Hampshire, and the trails are maintained by the Squam Lakes Association. The 0.9 mile Old Bridle Path up West Rattlesnake (1260 feet) from Route 113, brings you to a fabulous clifftop view overlooking Squam Lake. Every good day in the summer, the trail and lookout are busy all day. I decided to keep my hike unique. From my kayak, I made my way to the junction of the Five Finger Point Trail and the East Rattlesnake Trail. From there, I headed north and bushwhacked around the base of East Rattlesnake, passing along the way the Butterworth Trail. Continuing through thick woods lined with old logging roads, I arrived at the Col Trail, and headed up it, towards the saddle between the two Rattlesnakes. However, in keeping with the spirit of the hike, I left the trail again, and bushwhacked straight to the top of West Rattlesnake. After a long quiet walk, it was startling
to walk down off the trail-less top of West Rattlesnake and out onto the upper Old Bridle Path, and follow the crowds a few hundred feet up to the lookout ledge. The view from the crowded ledge over the lake was spectacular. Then I took the Ridge Trail down to the saddle, and up the other side, meeting the East Rattlesnake Trail and continuing up that to the good lookout near the top of East Rattlesnake. From that point, there was a great view east out over the lake of my kayak route. After a snack, I bushwhacked back down a steep cliff lined slope to the junction at Five Finger Point, and walked back to my kayak. The paddle back across the lake to my put-in was magical. The wind was behind me, and about every third stroke, I rode a wave. I decided to stick to the middle of the lake, a little unnerving in such a small boat in unsettled water, but hypnotic. I saw a loon 200 feet away. Again, I wondered how they were doing, and a few days later, checked. Before 2005, loons were doing great in Squam Lake. The Loon Preserva-
tion Committee had done a great job in educating the public, and monitoring the loon population. Deadly lead sinkers used by fishermen were beginning to be on their way out. Then in 2005, paired adults dropped from 32 the previous year, to 18. Reproduction took a nose dive over the next couple years. In the worst year of 2007, there were only three chicks hatched in the lake, with one surviving. The reasons were both complex and simple. The complex part included increased precipitation, warmer temps and increased boating. The simple part was a high level of mysterious water contaminants, especially from 2005 to 2007. New chemicals actually found inside the loon eggs were high levels of flame retardants and stain repellants. PCB’s were also present as a “legacy contaminant,” meaning they were older and not used any more. Squam had more of these chemicals than other lakes because it had a low “flushing rate,” and couldn’t get rid of see next page

them as fast. Since then, the amount of contaminants has dropped and the loons are doing better, though reproduction is still low. This year, there were 35 adults on the lake, 28 of which were paired, making for 14 pairs. There were nine chicks hatched, with five surviving. There are more contaminants left in Squam than other lakes. And the complex stress factors don’t go away. Loons normally sit on eggs easily for six hours. In last summer’s record heat, a loon was seen leaving its nest for the cool lake after only a half hour, leaving the eggs open to predation. What other stress factors are there for loons? Repeated oil spills off New
England may have decimated population of menhaden, the small fish that is a loon staple in the winter. And the list likely goes on. What can you do? Don’t get within 150 feet of a loon on a lake. Especially kayakers, who can move stealthily along the shore. Before mid-July, keep an eye out for loon “rafts” near the shore, placed by the Loon Preservation Committee for nests. On Squam alone, 6 out of the 9 chicks born this year were born on rafts, and 25 percent of the chicks in the state also were. Don’t use lead sinkers. The east shore of Squam grew closer. It had been a very enjoyable land and water trip. I didn’t know how sobering it would be later, when I looked up two creatures that helped make the trip magical.

activity with the addition of a wind turbine and new high speed chairlift. "I think that shows how busy Burke is," said Maher. "Organizers are talking about a big event combining all the different kinds of biking, a monster bike festival. Plus, riders can bike down the mountain. The same thing can be said for the October 2 Allen Clark Bicycle Hill Climb, another BUMPS contest, up the Mad River Valley's Appalachian Gap in Vermont. "Mount Washington is an in-your-face climb right from the get-go. Allen Clark favors power cyclists for the first half, after which the serious climbers take command," e-mailed race director Peter Oliver. The 6.2-mile race rises some 1600 vertical feet. The road crests at about 2,356 feet and is known as the highest paved road in the Green Mountain State open all year. "Allen Clark is shorter and certainly not as steep as Mount Washington, but it is different in one important way: it is an individual time trial rather than a mass start race," he commented. Organizer says there's about a10 percent grade over the last 2 and a half miles. "Finally, it is the height of the foliage season, and while the last three years have had great weather, I have ridden it in the snow. Weather can be an issue," he continued. Valley cyclists looking to stay closer to home can do so at the Sept. 10 Crank the Crawford. The 18.8-mile time trial leaves across from Attitash and climbs about 1200 feet up to the Eisenhower Wayside. Racers leave in about 15 second intervals. When they're done, well, it's a blast. ••• The White Mountain chapter of New England Mountain Bike Association has been busy putting a new bridge and more fingers of singletrack at Joe's Alibi, tweaking visibility lines on the Red Tail and maintaining Tent Boulder. There's another trail work day this Sunday. Meet at the Mineral Spring parking lot off High Street at 8:30 a.m. and be ready to ride to the sight on Tent Boulder. What's about five percent pavement, 10 percent cross-country ski trails and some 85 percent single track? That's the composition of the course for the first annual Bump Your Rump mountain bike race at Vermont's Grafton Ponds Outdoor Center Aug. 27. Racers compete to see who can complete the most laps over the four-mile course over a six-hour period. Sign up at bikereg.com.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES
by Lynn Johnston by Scott Adams
DILBERT
By Holiday Mathis impress anyone. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Everyone develops differently. What you learned early in life, someone else is learning late. Your patience and guidance in the matter will be a valued gift. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You have a low tolerance for boredom. So when things get too quiet, you’ll find a way to ignite the action. It’s time to plan another vacation, party or other form of entertainment to keep things interesting. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your goal gleams in the distance. Though you can see it clearly, it will be several weeks before you reach this milestone. Stick to it until you get where you want to go. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You like to look on the bright side. Doing so will require that you suppress some bit of unpleasantness that others are paying a good deal of attention to. This will work for you. Perception is reality. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You want to connect with the magic in the universe. You don’t have to reach far to do so, because the magic is not “out there.” It’s right where you are. Expect to experience it, and you will. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 20). You’ll settle a debt and move on. September brings new confidence and a feeling that you are coming into your own. Your relationships thrive, especially if you don’t overanalyze things. In 2012, the people you love will lead you on an adventure as you support them in their ambitions. Aries and Capricorn people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 20, 47, 41 and 35.
Get Fuzzy
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll express your creativity through today’s interactions. You have an amazing way of staying tightly controlled and yet simultaneously free-flowing. The effect is mesmerizing. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your comedic instinct is well honed. You’re simply quick to notice what’s funny, and you’ll call it out in a truly original way. You’ll have an appreciative audience that laughs at your jokes. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If you get the feeling that everything about your appearance is crucial now, you’re right. You’re being considered for a kind of “role.” Someone is checking you out and paying attention to the details. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You wisely realize that you can’t be everything to everybody all at once. So you set limits and let go of the less significant responsibilities. Even superheroes need a day off. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Before entering new situations, rehearse in your imagination. Think about what you want to happen, and set an intention. Business and pleasure go better because of this kind of preparation. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Not all of your abilities need to be exercised today. You’ll see opportunities that you could easily seize. Whether it would benefit you to seize them is another story entirely. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Trying to be perfect is not only futile, but it can also hurt your popularity. Everyone feels uptight around perfectionists, who are known to be much less fun than the socalled “real” people who aren’t trying to

Today is Saturday, Aug. 20, the 232nd day of 2011. There are 133 days left in the year. Today’s Highlights in History: On Aug. 20, 1911, The New York Times sent a message around the world by regular commercial cable to see how long it would take; the dispatch, which said simply, “Times, New York: This message sent around world. Times,” was filed at 7 p.m. and returned to its point of origin 16½ minutes later. On this date: In 1833, Benjamin Harrison, 23rd president of the United States, was born in North Bend, Ohio. In 1866, President Andrew Johnson formally declared the Civil War over, months after fighting had stopped. In 1882, Tchaikovsky’s “1812 Overture” had its premiere in Moscow. In 1910, a series of forest fires swept through parts of Idaho, Montana and Washington, killing at least 85 people and burning some 3 million acres. In 1920, pioneering American radio station 8MK in Detroit (later WWJ) began daily broadcasting. In 1940, during World War II, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill paid tribute to the Royal Air Force before the House of Commons, saying, “Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.” In 1977, the U.S. launched Voyager 2, an unmanned spacecraft carrying a 12-inch copper phonograph record containing greetings in dozens of languages, samples of music and sounds of nature. In 1981, Michael Devine, a member of the Irish National Liberation Army, died after a 60-day hunger strike at the Maze Prison in Northern Ireland; he was the tenth and last hunger-striker to die that year. One year ago: President Barack Obama invited Israel and the Palestinians to meet face-to-face in Washington for talks aimed at achieving a historic agreement to establish an independent Palestinian state and secure peace for Israel. Today’s Birthdays: Writer-producerdirector Walter Bernstein is 92. U.S. special envoy George Mitchell is 78. Former MLB All-Star Graig Nettles is 67. Broadcast journalist Connie Chung is 65. Musician Jimmy Pankow (Chicago) is 64. Actor John Noble is 63. Rock singer Robert Plant (Led Zeppelin) is 63. Country singer Rudy Gatlin is 59. Singer-songwriter John Hiatt is 59. Actordirector Peter Horton is 58. TV weatherman Al Roker is 57. Actress Joan Allen is 55. TV personality Asha Blake is 50. Actor James Marsters is 49. Actor Colin Cunningham is 45. Rock singer Fred Durst is 41. Rock musician Brad Avery is 40. Actor Jonathan Ke Quan is 40. Rock singer Monique Powell is 36. Actor Ben Barnes is 30. Actor Andrew Garfield is 28. Actress Demi Lovato is 19.

GRANDMOTHER’S HARSH WORDS MAY BE MORE BARK THAN BITE
DEAR ABBY: I love my grandmother, but she constantly puts my grandpa down, even in front of the family. I know some of the harsh words she uses could be resentment built up over the years from past hurts. Still, if she talks so rudely to him when we’re around, I wonder what she says when they’re alone. Grandma loves her family very much, especially the two of us grandkids. It just hurts that she’s so mean to Grandpa. Immediately after she insults him, I’ll ask her why she did it, but she acts like she has done nothing wrong. I know it must hurt my grandfather to be treated that way so often by the woman he’s been married to for more than 50 years. Should I address her about it in private? -- WORRIED GRANDDAUGHTER DEAR WORRIED: Your grandparents’ marriage has lasted half a century, so it’s safe to assume that they have a fairly strong bond. It’s possible that what you interpret as insulting is her way of communicating with him -- both in public and in private -- and that he tuned her out decades ago. You have already said she appears to think she has done nothing wrong, so unless your grandfather has in some way indicated that it is hurtful to him, my advice is to leave it alone. It works for them in some way. DEAR ABBY: I am 16 and my sister “Amber” is 13. For the past few months, she has been throwing tantrums whenever things don’t go her way or she feels something wrong happens, like an offensive comment someone makes. So my parents and I just leave her alone. Amber cries, stomps and hits, and because I share a room
with her I am very stressed out. I haven’t been able to sleep until she wears herself out. Lately, she has been saying she hates life and I am scared she might do something stupid. What should I do? -- OLDER SIS IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA DEAR OLDER SIS: The behavior you have described is not normal for someone Amber’s age. And if it’s new behavior, it’s a reason your parents should not ignore it. If your parents are unable to get Amber to talk to them, they may need the help of a physician or adolescent psychologist to get to the root of what is triggering these episodes. Please don’t wait. Clip this item, give it to your parents and tell them you wrote it. I, too, am concerned for your sister. DEAR ABBY: My husband and I are open with each other and can reach a satisfactory compromise on a lot of things. However, one we can’t seem to reach an agreement on is the temperature of our house. When evening rolls around, my husband turns on the air conditioning and the fans, leaving me to run to the closet for multiple sweatshirts. When we sleep, I end up using four blankets while he uses just a sheet. When I ask him to turn up the temperature, he responds with, “It’s easier for you to put more clothes on if you’re cold.” It results in an argument every night. Please help, Abby. -FROZEN IN OREGON DEAR FROZEN: Stop arguing and buy a heating pad and a long extension cord. It will solve your problem and you’ll both be comfortable. And for your bed, consider an electric mattress pad. If you share the same bed with your husband, get one with dual controls.

Richard Tibbetts
Richard Tibbetts, 69, passed from this world on Aug. 18, 2011. “Dick” made his residence on the East Conway Road since 1960. He was the first born of Jonathan A. and Florence E. Tibbetts, born July 16, 1942 in Belfast, Maine. He was a quiet and dignified man who loved the land, and the crops it could produce when he put his hard work and skills together with it. He was a perfectionist and set high standards for himself. For many years he and his wife Gloria owned and operated “The Pumpkin Patch” farm stand on the East Conway Road. The fall beauty of it all gracing many calendars, retail catalogs and countless children’s pictures. Dick also had a mill and sawed lumber for many area folks. He raised chickens, turkeys, pigs, and took great pride in watching them grow to maturity. Although he worked at other jobs in his younger years, none were as satisfying as being a farmer and he was good at it. Richard was a Christian man and always shared his harvest with family, friends, and local food programs. Richard raised four daughters, largely by himself. These loving women being Irene, Roxane, Linda and Cheryl. He leaves behind his wife, Gloria, of 31 years, and a stepdaughter, Pam; five siblings, Erdene, Joy, John, Lucy, and Bob.

Marcia Van Deventer Bumsted
Marcia Van Deventer Bumsted, 85, resident of Valley Terrace in White River Junction, Vt., died Wednesday, Aug. 10, 2011 at New London Hospital in New London. Her daughter Missy was at her side. She was born in Plainfield, N.J. on Nov. 30, 1925, the daughter of Joseph Neff and Marcia Furman Van Deventer. Marcia graduated from the St. Luke’s Hospital School of Nursing and moved to Summit, N.J, after marrying Bartram Bumsted, to start their family. They later moved to Westfield, N.J. She joined the Junior League and volunteered at various organizations. She also acted as “choir mother” to the boys of the St. Paul’s Episcopal Church’s Choir of Men and Boys in Westfield. After moving to North Conway, Marcia volunteered at the North Conway Library and the Memorial Hospital Rehab Department, and was active at St. Margaret of Scotland Church. Marcia loved her many cats and dogs throughout the years, many of them coming from Harvest Hill Animal Shelter, while residing in North Conway. from preceding page

However, her greatest passion was her family. She loved her family dearly and took great pride in her knitting sweaters and other items for her children and grandchildren. Marcia is preceded in death by Bartram, her husband of 63 years, who passed away on May 18, 2011; her parents; and a brother, Gerald R. Putnam. She is survived by two sons, J. Tyler and his wife, Holly, from Florida, and Peter and his wife, Barbara, from New York; a daughter, Missy Waterman, and her husband, Carl, from New Hampshire; and eight grandchildren, Sara, PJ, Amanda, Emily, and Morgan Bumsted, Megan, Casey, and Colin Waterman.

HOME OF THE WEEK
REAL ESTATE CORNER
Time to ready your home for winter BY JASON ROBIE
I simply love living in northern New Hampshire, and there’s nothing quite like the seasonal transitions to keep us entertained and amazed by nature’s beauty and strength. One of the more exciting and visually stunning changes is our migration toward fall. I know, if you are reading this and are under the age of 18, you are cursing those words and are bemoaning the inevitable end to the carefree days of summer and your shift toward homework and study hall. If you are a homeowner, I hope you are asking yourself the question: “Is my home ready for the colder temps?” As we are forced to reach for that extra blanket at night and even move the slider in the car from blue to red, our thoughts should also be directed toward readying our homes for the coming white stuff. Getting and staying warm inside the home is clearly top priority. For those with a fireplace or woodstove, this is the perfect time to get that whole system ready. If you start now, you will be a little early and will have plenty of time to get parts ordered and re-schedule the workers to come out and do what they need to do. Making sure there are no critters living in the flue or cap is important, and if you haven’t had the chimney cleaned in a while now is the time. Buying and preparing your “fuel” is also vital. Get the wood split and stacked in a dry spot that’s easy to get to, but not too close to the house. That keeps the little critters away from the house, but keeps you close enough so you can grab a few pieces of wood in your slippers! If you have any exposed piping, this is a great time to crawl under the house and inspect your heat tape. (You have heat tape, right?) Make sure all the garden hoses are drained and/or stored indoors. If this is your first winter in this home, make sure you know where the water main shutoff is. Depending on the age of the home, it is also a good idea to inspect the outdoor spigot. Most of the newer ones have a drain valve that allows you to remove all the water from the section that would be exposed to the outside air. This one is commonly overlooked so don’t get caught. Although they are always a good idea and are certainly becoming more prevalent, it is a great idea to install (or inspect) carbon monoxide detectors in your home. There are different rules for placement of these items vs. smoke detectors so be sure and read the instructions. Since our homes are typically closed up for weeks at a time through the colder months, the CO detectors are very important. Of course, the “rule” of changing your batteries in all detectors when the clocks change still holds true. And I always test my detectors every couple of months anyway. It gives me a chance to make sure my cat, Remy, is on his toes! On the outside of the house, there are a couple areas that commonly cause problems through the winter. Gutters can get clogged with leaves and debris, so take a hose and make sure those are cleared out. Keeping branches and shrubs away from the house is always a good idea. If you’ve got some “trouble” branches near the house or power lines, now is a great time to tackle them. Cover shrubs and flowers that you don’t want covered by snow and even consider moving some indoors. Now is also the best time to plant spring flower see ROBIE page 50

bulbs and lift those that can’t survive the winter such as Dahlias. Sealing the driveway is a good way to protect from the damage caused by plows and the constant freezing and thawing cycles. Check the foundation for cracks and rot on the sill plate. Sealing up any cracks and closing up any small entry points will help keep small critters from entering into or under the house. You would be amazed at the small amount of space mice can fit through. Once you have mowed the lawn or “mowed” the leaves for the last time, drain the gas or at least add some stabilizer to keep it fresh for spring. Getting the snow blower running and/or tuned up now will likely save you a few hours of frustration after the first snowfall. If you are fortunate enough to have your own plow, make sure you have all the bolts and belts necessary and consider getting the frame mounted before there is snow on the ground. Last but not least, it is a good idea to prepare for emergencies. Even “little” emergencies like power outages can be more tolerable if you have candles, matches and a flashlight handy. Keep some extra bottled water and non-per-
ishable food items around and don’t forget the pets! They need to eat too. Make sure the utility company’s phone numbers are handy and prepare an evacuation plan in case you need to get out of the house. If your heat source is reliant on electricity (like most propane heaters) I strongly recommend getting a generator, if only to power that one item. One of my favorite images throughout the whole year is when the mountaintops are dusted with snow and the lower parts are still covered in brilliantly colored leaves. The smell of woodstoves burning and the crisp winter air puts a little skip in my step and a smile on my face. For the record, I’m not quite ready for winter yet. I still have a few miles to go on my bicycle and a few more “snowfree” hikes I want to check off. But I am looking forward to hitting the slopes and snowshoeing the trails when the time arrives. Until then, let’s enjoy the cool nights and make sure our homes are ready to warm us back up when we return from our winter adventures! Jason Robie is staff writer for Badger Realty in North Conway.

Exploring the 15-year loan BY VICKIE ELMER NEW YORK TIMES
When deciding to refinance a home, some people look first at the new monthly mortgage payment and the money they might save, while others focus on the interest rate. Fifteen-year mortgage rates certainly look enticing these days, and the idea of owning a home, debt-free, in less time than it takes to raise a child, sounds grand. So what’s the catch?
To start with, your monthly payment will probably be higher — in some cases, hundreds of dollars more. Then there’s the question of whether you will save for other needs if your mortgage payment requires more of your income. So before you choose between a 15- and a 30-year loan, crunch the numbers on each using an online mortgage calculator. On a $300,000 loan, for example, you would pay about $1,475 a month for see 15-YEAR page 52

15-YEAR from page 51
principal and interest over 30 years, versus $2,145 over 15 years. That assumes a 4.25 percent rate on the longer loan and 3.5 percent on the shorter one. You would save about $145,000 in interest payments over the life of a 15-year mortgage and build up equity in the home faster, according to Tony Clintock, a regional sales leader for MetLife Home Loans, which is based in Irving, Tex. In the first year, principal would be reduced by $15,000, versus about $5,000 on a 30-year loan. The other advantage of having a 15-year loan is the interest rate: it’s currently hovering around 3.4 percent, according to Freddie Mac, which is more than three-quarters of a percentage point lower than most 30-year loans. They can “shave five, seven or 10 years off their loan,” Clintock said. And if they’re reducing their interest rate from, say, 6 percent, their monthly payment may not change much. But, “a lot of people cannot afford a 15-year mortgage,” said Robert Rauf, a mortgage loan originator with Real Estate Mortgage Network in Manasquan, N.J. In other words, their income simply cannot support the higher monthly bill. Those worried about job security or a business failure may also opt for a 30-year mortgage, and the lower monthly payments that go along with spreading out the loan length. “It’s the cheapest way to borrow Well maintained historic home on 3 acres moments from North Conway Village.

money,” said Ray Mignone, a financial planner in Little Neck, N.Y. But “if people are pretty confident on their income stream and they can afford the 15-year mortgage,” he said, “it is a good way to go.” More consumers are moving into 15-year mortgages when they refinance, according to data from CoreLogic. In 2007, one in nine, or around 11 percent, opted for a 15-year mortgage; in the first quarter it was 53 percent. Lenders say the 15- and 30-year loans use the same criteria for qualifying. Clintock of MetLife notes that some banks offer loans in 20- or 25-year terms, but with rates not much lower, if at all, than those on the 30-year mortgage. When deciding between a 15- and 30-year mortgage for refinancing, borrowers should also take a broad look at other expenses, said Karen C. Altfest, the executive vice president of Altfest Personal Wealth Management in Manhattan. “Some people have such a high mortgage they can’t save for retirement” or their children’s college education, she said. Others may compromise with a 20- or 25-year mortgage, and use the difference to help fund college or retirement accounts. Altfest also urges borrowers to think through the tax breaks that home loans provide. The interest on a 30-year mortgage can be important to tax planning, especially in the early years when almost the entire payment is interest. Then again, you may wonder whether Congress could eliminate mortgage interest and fees as a tax deduction, an idea that has been floated. If it were to happen, the 30-year mortgage would be less appealing, Altfest said. “Consider the psychological, consider the financial,” she said. “Consider your family goals.”

Co-signing on the dotted line
THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Saturday, August 20, 2011— Page 53
In 2010, 27 percent of first-time buyers received gifts from friends or relatives toward home purchases, up from 22 percent in 2009, according to a National Association of Realtors survey of 8,449 buyers released last fall. Nine percent received loans from relatives or friends, virtually the same number as during the boom year of 2005, the poll showed. Those who are considering cosigning a mortgage must conduct some serious due diligence. First, you must understand why the family member or friend is asking for help. Even though it may be, say, your son or your sister, don’t be afraid to look into that person’s personal finances to help determine whether he or she will be able to repay the loan, and to peruse credit reports, which will show the track record for paying off debts. “Take emotions out of it,” said Neil Diamond, a mortgage banker at Legacy Real Estate in Commack, N.Y. “Ask the questions you would of a stranger, as if it were an investment.” Also, discuss worst-case scenarios before you co-sign. If your child lost her job or the mortgage became delinquent, what recourse would you have? Work out a written contract containing an agreement that you could, for example, require a sale of the property if the person you were helping was in danger of defaulting. Think about how to protect your interests in a foreclosure or loan default, Diamond said.
BY VICKIE ELMER NEW YORK TIMES
Tighter lending requirements and an unstable job market have made it tougher for some people, especially those just starting out, to qualify for a home mortgage on their own; finding a family member or close friend with good credit to co-sign a home loan may seem like the good solution. But money managers and lenders caution those who are asked about cosigning against jumping into such an arrangement. “A co-signer is really a co-borrower,” said John J. Vento, the president of the Comprehensive Wealth Management Group, a financial planning firm in Staten Island. “Unless you’re ready, willing and able to make the payments for the family member, I would recommend not co-signing for the loan.” Indeed, if the principal party defaults on the loan, the co-signer is on the hook. Ronald Roge, a financial planner in Bohemia, N.Y., suggests that as a less risky alternative, potential cosigners consider providing a cash gift for the down payment. Under current tax laws, you can generally give as much as $13,000 to a person, free of gift taxes, or $26,000 per person, if a married couple filing jointly is giving the money. “The only reason they want you to co-sign is they can’t afford the house,” Mr. Roge said. “Make it between them and the bank” on the actual loan.

"Location, location, location" may be the three most important rules of real estate. But when shopping for a home, size can matter at least as much as the address — which is why it's essential to select a home that meets your spatial and square footage requirements. Consider that the average interior size of a singlefamily home has grown from approximately 1,800 square feet in the years following World War II to about 2,300 square feet today, says Ron Throupe, assistant professor in the Burns School of Real Estate and Construction Management at the University of Denver. A recent survey of builders by the National Association of Home Builders reveals, however, that the average new home floor plan is expected to decrease to roughly 2,150 square feet by 2015. According to data from the most recent U.S. Census, 34 percent of new single-family homes completed in 2009 were no larger than 1,800 square feet, while 27 percent were between 1,800 and 2,399 square feet. But while the average square footage may be trending toward a more modest footprint, that doesn't mean your next home will or should be smaller. "It's important that buyers move into homes that match their lifestyles," says Adam Iobst, broker/ owner at A-Team Realty in Silver Spring, Md. "The answers to essential lifestyle questions will determine what factors they should be considering when home shopping. Do they cook at home often? Do they entertain guests often? How many people will be

Other financial experts suggest you consider the family connection: how close you are to the person asking for a guarantor. “When it gets into nephews and cousins,” said Ed Mooney, a wealth strategist with BNY Mellon in Manhattan, “it tends to be more tenuous” to agree to cosign. In addition to the potential for being held responsible for repaying a large mortgage if your relative or friend fell behind on payments, there are other potential risks. The mortgage shows up on your credit report, and that could affect your ability to borrow money or

living in their next home? Do they have pets?" Other vital criteria to consider when it comes to spatial requirements include: &bull; Family future-proofing. Will you have enough space to accommodate future family members? &bull; Expandability. Can you add a room addition or convert the basement? &bull; Work and play. Do you need an office, study or craft room? &bull; Bathrooms. Are you willing to share, or do certain family members need their own bath? "The square footage you and your family require is a matter of personal preference," says Angela Self, co-founder of the Smart Cookies money group in Vancouver, Canada. "We worked with a family who was contemplating downsizing, so we went over to their home and roped off the basement, dining room, one bathroom and part of the living room. We asked the family to live in the smaller space for two weeks. They realized they didn't miss the space, in fact they preferred the closeness." If you're planning to downsize, keep in mind that two-bedroom homes may be a more difficult sale later on, so it may be best to stick to a traditional three-bedroom home, says Lisa Johnson Sevajian, with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in Andover, Mass. Additionally, consider your storage needs objectively and prepare to part with belongings you no longer need or want if you do choose a smaller home. Many downsizers are baby boomers who no longer seek large homes with five bedrooms and expansive see next page
buy a second home. Any late payments by the principal borrower will also show up on your report — and if there are several of them, they will very likely reduce your credit score. Yet Mooney and others say that co-signing may be inevitable in some instances, given the financial environment. So after you’ve signed on the dotted line and the person you are helping has moved in, keep regular track of that person’s mortgage payments. Request that you be copied in on statements or online payments so you know they are being made, Mooney added. And who knows? In three years or so, your relative may have improved his creditworthiness and might even remove you as a co-signer.
Should you forgo the ‘For Sale’ sign?
In a depressed housing market, does a “For Sale” sign that sits for weeks lend to the downbeat mood? A growing number of home sellers apparently think so. In an informal survey of agents conducted by RE/ MAX of Northern Illinois, about one-third of respondents said they noticed a trend of home sellers deciding not to stake a sign out front. The reasons vary. Some sellers are concerned that there are too many signs up already in the neighborhood and that conveys a problem with the area. Other reasons are more personal. And it’s not only Illinois owners who are sign-shy. “It’s a cultural thing,” says Orhan Tolu, an agent with Century 21 Alliance in San Mateo, Calif. About 60 percent of the sellers in the Hispanic and Filipino communities Tolu serves forgo a sign. “If it’s a shortsale — or even if it’s not — owners don’t want their friends, neighbors and family to surmise that selling now means they’re in financial distress,” says Tolu. Some sellers who’ve already moved out may view a sign as advertising to burglars that a property is from preceding page
yards, says Stephen Melman, director of economic services for the National Association of Home Builders, Washington D.C. Boomers more likely to want a well-designed home with a bedroom equipped for hosting grandkids, boomerang children, aging parents or caregivers. Up-sizers, on the other hand, are typically young families who expect to or have already grown out of their homes and now prefer a residence with a combination of kitchen, family
vacant and an easy target, adds Tom Hanigan, a Chicago RE/MAX agent. Keith Dickerson, a RE/MAX agent in Naperville, Ill., acknowledges fears that “adding another sign to a neighborhood crowded with them can create a distressed mood,” but adds, “I think it’s important to have a sign, and I usually convince my sellers to have one.” Dickerson doesn’t like simply listing a home on the multiple listing service and on websites. A sign, he says, can attract passing buyers who may have overlooked the property on the Internet. “People usually look online for all properties for sale within a certain price range,” he explains. “If your home is a few thousand dollars outside of that range, and they see a sale sign, they may investigate.” Moreover, he relates, “I had an older couple who didn’t look on the Internet like most buyers these days do - they were looking for one-story living and bought a ranch home they spotted with a sign when they were driving around.” © CTW Features room and living room, walk-in closets in the master bedroom, and a well-designed laundry room. Move-up purchasers, conversely, are often looking for a home with 500 to 1,500 more square feet than they currently have, Iobst says. "If you're single or just two people, most probably a two- to three-bedroom home will do using one bedroom as a spare and the other as a study," says Greg Frost, founder of Frost Mortgage Lending Group in Albuquerque, N.M. "Typically, 1,500 to 1,750 square feet is a good range for one or two people,"
