NEW YORK (NY Times) Ever since various dreamers on the West Side of Manhattan began to envision it, the High Line has signified New York’s future: a glimpse of where the metropolis might go if people dreamed, and schemed, hard enough.

But few of those forwardthinkers could have predicted what’s obvious now to anyone who goes for a stroll along the full length of this model of urban renewal on a weekday summer evening: The High Line is also nudging New York back into the past.

The scene along the elevated and meticulously landscaped walkway that stretches from Gansevoort Street to West 30th Street can feel like some Gotham Festival of the Lost Arts. As the sun slides down beyond the Hudson River and gives Barry Diller’s curved white colossus a weirdly holy gleam, you’re bound to encounter the lost art of the promenade, unhurried conversation, perhaps even someone using paper and pen to scribble free verse in a journal.

Grace Wright, a Williams College student who has spent the summer interning at Marvel Comics, could be found doing just that on a breezy Thursday evening in August. “This is a nice place to just sit and think,” she said.

She lounged on a bench, sketching observations in a notebook. “It’s kind of soothing. Have you seen the theater seating just to watch the traffic below?”

Lull in Libya fight reveals atrocities by rebels, loyalists

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

TRIPOLI, Libya (NY Times) — As the fighting died down in Tripoli on Friday, the scope and savagery of the violence during the near-week-long battle for control of the capital began to come into sharper focus, with both rebel and loyalist forces accused of atrocities.

Amnesty International said in a report based on eyewitness accounts from escaped

prisoners, that it had evidence that forces loyal to Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi killed rebels who had been held in custody in two camps. In one camp, it said, guards killed five detainees held in solitary confinement, and in another, they opened the gates, telling the rebels they were free to go, then tossed grenades and fired on the men as they attempted

to run for freedom.

On Thursday, there were reports that the bullet-riddled bodies of more than 30 proQaddafi fighters had been found at a military encampment in central Tripoli. At least two were bound with plastic handcuffs, suggesting that they had been executed, and five of the dead were found at a field hospital.

NYC orders evacuation of coastal areas NEW YORK (NY Times) — With Hurricane Irene speeding relentlessly toward the East Coast, officials announced plans to evacuate low-lying areas in New York City and shut down the sprawling subway and transit system.

Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg ordered a mandatory evacuation — something he said the city had never done before — of coastal areas in all five boroughs, including all of the Rockaways; Battery Park City and the financial district in Lower Manhattan; and Governors Island. The evacuation covered 250,000 people in and around what the city calls

SAYWHAT...

“

An early-morning walk is a blessing for the whole day.”

—Henry David Thoreau

Zone A low-lying areas who, the mayor said, should get out before the storm swept in.

“You only have to look at the weather maps to understand how big this storm is and how unique it is,” the mayor said at a news conference, “and it’s heading basically for us.”

Underscoring what he and other officials said was the seriousness of the situation, President Obama granted a request from Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo of New York to declare the state a federal emergency even before the hurricane arrived, according to the White House.

Bomber attacks U.N. building in Nigeria

ABUJA, Nigeria (NY Times) — A suicide bomber detonated a vehicle packed with explosives outside the United Nations headquarters in the Nigerian capital of Abuja on Friday, destroying several floors in a thunderous blast that left at least 18 dead, witnesses and officials said.

Boko Haram, a Nigerian Islamist insurgency group with possible links to Al Qaeda’s affiliates in the region, claimed responsibility for the attack in a telephone call to the BBC’s Hausa language broadcast service in northern Nigeria. If confirmed, it would signal a significant leap in the scope of Boko Haram’s focus, which until now had taken aim exclusively at domestic targets as part of an ill-defined aim to establish strict Islamic law in the country’s north.

The Nigerian government has come under repeated attack by Boko Haram in the north and by militants in the south. Foreign oil companies and their workers have also been a common target of southern insurgents, who demand a greater share in the nation’s oil profits. But the deadly strike on the United Nations, the first on its offices in Nigeria, was a surprising turn.

Gov. Lynch declares state of emergency in advance of Irene CONCORD — Gov. John Lynch declared a state of emergency for New Hampshire on Friday, which allows the state to receive more resources and more help to deal with Hurricane Irene.

The state emergency operations center was opened Friday morning.

The New Hampshire Marine Patrol is warning people who use the state’s inland waterways that they need to prepare for the arrival of Hurricane Irene as well as people on the coast.

And people who live on islands should consider taking temporary shelter on the mainland, especially those with medical conditions.

High winds, flooding and power outages are expected across the state this

weekend when Hurricane Irene hits.

Emergency management officials are double-checking communications links with communities as residents watch and wait, making sure they are properly prepared with water, batteries and other storm supplies.

Utilities are preparing with additional crews to deal with expected power outages.

State parks including state-run campsites will be closing at 6 p.m. on Saturday.

Irene weakened to a Category 2 hurricane on Friday and officials are hoping it weakens further as it approaches New Hampshire.

FRANCONIA NOTCH — Thanks to a grant from the federal Institute of Museum and Library Services, the New England Ski Museum plans to create a new permanent exhibit telling the story of the development of skiing as a sport and an economic engine of the North Country.

The $86,014 grant to the ski museum is among the 160 awarded under the 2011 Museums for America program, for which 481 institutions applied.

"We are pleased to support museums through investments in high-priority, high value activities that benefit communities throughout the United States," said Institute of Museum and Library Services director Susan Hildreth. "These museums, small and large, will help to educate and inspire the public for years to come."

New England Ski Museum unveils a new annual exhibit each year, but also displays a mix of historic objects, artwork and photographs that remain for longer periods.

Some of the highlights of these permanent exhibits include a selection of the museum's best skis showing the development of the ski over time, significant trophies of the sport, the National Ski Patrol parka owned by its founder Minnie Dole, and the oldest book known to depict images of skiers, dating from 1580.

Ski timeline exhibit "This December we will start our fourth decade of welcoming the public," said museum president Bo Adams. "Over the years, as significant new objects are donated, we have put them on permanent display, but the result has become a bit haphazard. The IMLS grant will let us arrange these in an organized, chronological way that will better explain skiing to our visitors."

Drawing on research from past annual displays, the new exhibit will present a history of skiing from its Stone Age beginnings to the present, and will include popular topics like the emergence of the sport of downhill skiing in the 1930s, the mountain troops of the 10th Mountain Division in World War II, skiing in New Hampshire's

Cheerleaders returning to Kennett sidelines with hiring of new coach

BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — Cheerleaders will return to the sidelines this fall for the first time in two years.

The Conway School Board voted 5-0 Monday night to hire Holly Fougere as the cheerleading coach for Kennett High School this fall and winter.

She will receive a $1,950 stipend for the fall and a similar amount for the winter sports seasons.

Fougere, a performing arts teacher at Kennett High, also heads up the school’s dance team. She was pleased with the board’s decision and eager to get the cheerleading program up and cheering.

The school board met with Fougere behind closed doors in nonpublic session prior to the outset of Monday’s regularly scheduled board meeting. School superintendent Carl Nelson brought up the cheering position under old business Monday and recommended the board hire Fougere, which it did.

Fougere, who saw the position advertised three weeks ago, applied and attended the Conway School Board’s Aug. 8 meeting. She 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 Aug. 15 for the majority of Kennett’s teams.

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; Kennett principal Neal Moylan; high school athletic director Kerry Brady; middle school athletic director Gredel Shaw; middle school principal Kevin Richard;

THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Saturday, August 27, 2011— Page 7

“I think I’ve been able to make the dance team here successful and would like the opportunity to do the same with cheering.” 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 as members Rick Breton and Syndi White spoke in support of cheering.

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, who started her fifth year of dance team on Monday with a week long camp from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. with 18 students, said she will

hold cheering practice at a different time.

“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’m passionate about this,” she said.

“I’m willing to have the cheer squad if they are willing to have me.”

Trying to Save a Few Pennies?

CONCORD — In anticipation of Hurricane Irene, N.H. Fish and Game Department is urging all outdoor enthusiasts to be out of the woods and off the water by Saturday evening.

“It is unlikely that search and rescue operations will be feasible during the height of the storm. For that reason, we are urging the public – whether you’re hiking, camping, fishing or boating anywhere in the state – to complete your outdoor recreation and get home by Saturday night. For your safety and the safety of rescue personnel, get out of the woods and off the water by Saturday evening,” said Fish and Game executive director Glenn Normandeau said.

Campgrounds and day-use areas in all New Hampshire state parks, forests and trails will be closed from 6 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 27, through Monday, Aug. 29. Parks plan to reopen on Tuesday morning. The reopening of the parks will be subject to any damage and debris removal needed in the aftermath of the storm.

The U.S. Forest Service has also informed the state that all trails and

“It is unlikely that search and rescue operations will be feasible during the height of the storm.” campgrounds in the White Mountain National Forest will be closed. Appalachian Mountain Club huts will also be closed. Trailheads will be posted and parking lots gated. Those in the hiking community are urged to spread the word to fellow hikers and backcountry campers.

“Anticipated heavy rains can cause flash flooding that can turn tiny mountain brooks into raging, impassable torrents without notice,” states a Fish and Game press release. “Statewide, all water bodies are expected to rise, and flows to become too swift and strong to navigate safely. Boaters are advised to stay off water bodies statewide on Sunday and stay off until conditions improve.”

CONWAY — The police busted yet another underage drinking party early Thursday morning, this one resulting in eight arrests.

The bust happened after a neighbor reported a loud party, according to a police statement. All of the arrests were for minor in possession of alcohol.

Those arrested include: Ivan Kovachki, 20, of North Conway, Jovan Markovski, 20, of North Conway, Anastasia Chakova, 20, of North Conway, Ivan Janevski, 20, of North Conway, Brittney Landers, 18, of Conway, Amber McPherson, 18, of Conway, Ordanka Coneva, 20, of Conway, and Joshua Lambert, 18, of North Conway.

All were released on personal recognizance bail and will have to appear in court on Nov. 15. The maximum fine for minor in possession of alcohol is $1,000 and can result in a suspension of license.

This is the third underage drinking party police have busted in as many weeks, each with at least eight arrests.

The number and size of these parties has been atypical, police chief Ed Wagner said. “It seems to be a little over the top this year for some reason.”

The department is taking the increase seriously.

“We’re no longer going to be asking for the minimum fine (when cases go to court),” he said, and police intend to start going after party hosts and the people who supply the alcohol more aggressively.

Some of the comments posted on The Conway Daily Sun’s Facebook page this past week: Did you feel the earthquake?

“I’m in Annapolis, Md., and a part-time resident of Jackson. I was sitting in my dining room and suddenly heard a rumbling noise which I first thought was the washing machine on spin cycle! But I wasn’t doing any laundry. Then the shaking started, and I grabbed my cell phone and yelled at my son. Lasted about 15-30 seconds, I think. Scared me!” — Cindy Sauerwein “Nope. I NEVER feel them!” — Darci Thurston “Felt it here in West Ossipee. Caused the whole house to sway for a good minute.” — Tiffanni Duca “We felt it in Center Ossipee on the shore of Ossipee Lake.” — Ellen Goss “East Conway felt it. Also our office’s UPS man said he was taking a break in his truck and the whole truck was shaking.” — Jacqueline O’Rourke “I felt it while sitting at the computer in Maine. Thought it was all in my head!” — Cathie Curtis “We felt it in Freedom. Everything was rocking back and forth. It lasted a long time, at least a minute.” — Kellie Ellinwood Micke

“Our plant on the front desk was shaking!” — Mount Whittier Motel “The chair in front of my computer that I was sitting in started swaying from left to right, and my hanging plant was dancing. I’m still shaking here in West Ossipee!” — Joyce Larrabee “Been outside all day here in Center Ossipee and did not feel anything. People start drinking early here in Ossipee, I guess.” — Joe Sheehan “We were at Pirates Cove playing a round of miniature golf. At first I thought it was just because we were near the waterfall, then my son asked me why the ground was shaking. Didn’t realize what it was until I got home and saw the news.” — Jennifer O’Rourke Matthews “Burlington, Vt., was swaying!” — Meagan Kelly “Oh, is that what ruined my golf shot?” — Ellen Day “I was wondering who was pulling my computer chair away from the desk — with me in it.” — Steve McManus “Felt it. Thought it was the train at first. Had to straighten my wall art.” — Patricia Sell “At a meeting in a downstate city. Felt like a large bulldozer going by. No bulldozer though.” — George Cleveland

Republicans are Looking for Mr. (or Mrs.) Right Something's missing.

Or maybe that's not quite right. Maybe it's: Someone's missing.

Listen to Republicans these days and look at their presidential field, and you sense a vacuum.

Twice in a few days The Wall Street Journal editorial page called for someone new to join the GOP presidential race. First it was quite explicitly Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, the chairman of the House Budget Committee and the darling of the conservative intellectual elite. He demurred last week.

Then the Journal called for someone else, and it was hard to avoid the thought that the description of the certain someone was someone certain (probably former Gov. Jeb Bush of Florida).

Who else fits this description of the perfect prom date: a leader who "might combine Mr. Ryan's reform ambitions and the seriousness of his message with executive competence and a record of achievement at the state level?"

Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey, maybe. Gov. Paul LePage of Maine, absolutely not. But Bush said he's not running either -- but he did deliver a strong warning to the 2012 candidates: "If you're a conservative, you have to persuade," he said on Fox News. "You can't just be against the president."

No party has been so openly dissatisfied with its own roster of candidates since the Democrats' contenders for their nomination in 1988, when the party's field was dubbed the "Seven Dwarfs."

But look at those dwarfs and you might wonder about the description.

Bruce Babbitt became a distinguished Interior secretary. Michael S. Dukakis holds the record for service as governor of Massachusetts. Richard A. Gephardt became majority leader of the House. Paul Simon is remembered as a cerebral and important senator. Jesse Jackson will be in your grandchildren's history books. Al Gore and Joseph R. Biden Jr. became vice president and Gore won the Nobel Peace Prize. Those candidates were dwarfs only when compared at the time with the candidates the party really wanted, Mario M. Cuomo, who decided not to run, and Gary Hart, who left the race after a sex scandal.

And the reason the so-called big guns, including Sen. Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts, didn't run in 1987 was far different from the reasons the conservative Kalashnikovs aren't running in 2011. Those who stood down in 1987 thought they couldn't win. That's not the reason the Republicans are running away from running for president now, with a weak incumbent in the White House. It may be that they don't want to be in a debate that seems to favor the tone of the tea party, the issues of the social conservatives and the rhetoric of the absolutists.

Before we continue, let's acknowledge that for a good chunk of Republicans, and maybe for a majority of Republican primary voters and caucus participants, there's nothing awry with this field, which includes, among others, Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota, Gov. Rick Perry of Texas, former Gov. Mitt Romney of Massachu-

setts, New Hampshire, California, Michigan and Utah (candidates listed alphabetically and not in order of electoral power).

But the GOP field is taking on the tone and timbre of last year's Senate races in Nevada and Delaware, where tea party activists swept highcaffeine candidates into the general election who were unacceptable to the remainder of Republicans, to large slices of independents and to most Democrats. Even in years when the incumbent president is unusually vulnerable, American primary elections are run at the extremes but general election races are run in the middle.

That's what worries some Republicans, and not only the regulars. But that's not the only thing that troubles them. They're uncomfortable with the putative front-runner, Romney, who didn't cultivate much populist appeal last week when he announced he wanted to quadruple the size of his home in California, a state where most politicos didn't even know he owned a home. (Average price for a house in La Jolla this month, including the 2.3 percent drop in real-estate prices: $2,399,832.)

Having a big bank account, or several big houses, isn't on the face of it a disqualification for president. (Setting aside the Bushes, Republican presidents of recent vintage have tended to have modest finances, while Democrats have had their share of plutocratic presidents, including liberals such as Franklin D. Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy.) And on the surface, Romney is the sort of candidate the Republican gallery would be yearning for ... if he weren't in the race.

Indeed, in many ways Romney is a textbook Republican nominee — someone who (like Thomas E. Dewey, Richard M. Nixon, George H.W. Bush, Robert J. Dole and John McCain) ran before, has a conservative record, is business-oriented, is regarded as intelligent, has a record of success, is articulate and has a history of marital fidelity. What's not to like?

In two words: health care. Romney's support of the Massachusetts health care plan, which Democrats gleefully point out was a model for the Obama health care plan, is the stain he cannot expunge. It so repelled conservatives that many of them cannot support Romney. Others distrust his avowed conservatism, worrying that it is a costume of convenience for the primary season.

Indeed, Democrats believe that the best thing about Romney is that he doesn't believe a thing he says — the sort of critique, by the way, that they offered of George H.W. Bush, only to watch him in office nominate Clarence Thomas to the Supreme Court.

Like most candidates on the sidelines, Jeb Bush, Chris Christie and George Pataki look a lot more appealing out of the race than they might on a debate panel. If they doubt that, they might consult Pete Wilson, Fred Thompson and perhaps even Rick Perry.

Socks for Soldiers now seeking donations To the editor: Last fall, a small group from the greater Mount Washington Valley began a project to bring a piece of home during the holidays to our military men and women overseas. Volunteers helped to hand cut and sew 500 stockings which were stuffed with commonly used items and treats such as gum, jerky, wipes, tooth brushes and a pair of socks among other things.

Last year, Marine Troop 2/9 Fox Company stationed in Afghanistan was chosen to receive the stockings because three soldiers from the Mount Washington Valley are in that troop.

This year we hope to repeat last year’s success while expanding our efforts to include contingents in the Army as well as to those personnel helping on the sidelines.

If you would like to help us reach our goal of filling all 500 stockings, we collecting the following items for this year’s project: combat boot socks (black, brown, green), wipes, Q-Tips (non-plastic), tooth brushes, flea collars, knife sharpener, hard candies, peanuts, gum, jerky, drink mixes (ie. Crystal Light), puzzle books, writing pads, (waterproof) and bore snake (barrel cleaner).

While we are relying mainly on donations, we realize some items will have to be purchased.

Also, the shipping costs are expecting to be $1,000.

Last year, the UPS store in North Conway generously

donated over $500 towards the shipping. This year, to give all Valley residents and visitors a chance to be a part of our project, we are selling “Socks for Soldiers” stars.

These stars will be available at participating shops in the valley to allow people to show their support by sponsoring a $1 or $5 star, which will then be displayed in the shops. The proceeds will be used towards purchases and postage.

In addition to the previously mentioned items, each stocking will include holiday cards hand-colored by local elementary school students containing a hand-written personal message to a soldier.

We would like to thank some of the businesses that made last year a success: The UPS Store, Hannaford’s, Dollar Tree, Dollar Store, Len Libby’s, The Up Country Restaurant, Eagle Mountain House, Red Barn Liquidation, Harry & David, as well as the other businesses and numerous individuals who donated time and resources to the project.

Due to time constraints, all donations must be made

by October 23, 2011 in order for the items to be packaged and delivered by the holiday season.

If you would like to be a part of the “Socks for Soldiers” project, please contact Leslie Gibbs at (330) 734-8823 or at socks4soldiersMWV@ymail. com. Thank You. Leslie Gibbs Misty McKelley Conway

Irene eyes New England

BY DAYMOND STEER THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — Hurricane Irene is a serious storm and she's coming our way, according to experts. But Irene's getting a mixed reaction from local residents.

Conway emergency management director Stephen Solomon predicts Irene will cause urban flooding, washouts on gravel roads, and downed trees and powerlines, along with some river flooding. Transvale Acres, a low-lying neighborhood, will be under a voluntary evacuation by Saturday night. If the flooding gets bad, Transvale Acres would be cut off from rescuers.

Rainfall estimates range from 4 to 8 inches.

If the storm follows the path it was on Friday afternoon, "It could put the eye right over us," said Solomon, adding the storm should be arriving here by Sunday afternoon.

By the time Irene comes to this area, she will likely be tropical storm with heavy rains and winds between 39 to 73 mph, New Hampshire's State Climatologist Mary Stampone said on Friday. In the worst case, the storm could be a Category see next page

THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Saturday, August 27, 2011— Page 15

1 hurricane with wind speeds from 74 to 95 mph.

Hurricanes can be 600 miles across and Irene is particularly large.

"It's coming," said Stampone.

Mount Washington Observatory meteorologist Mike Carmon's forecast is similar to Stampone's prediction. Northern New Hampshire can expect "deteriorating conditions on Saturday night and it gets worse from there."

In contrast, Friday was beautiful. Irene was off Florida's coast at 8 a.m. Friday. A map on WMUR showed that the size of the hurricane spanned from Palm Bay, Fla. to the southern border of North Carolina — a distance of about 500 miles.

As of Friday, Irene was a Category 2 hurricane.

The projected path on WMUR showed the hurricane entering New Hampshire's southwestern border and running diagonal across the state close to, if not over, the Mount Washington Valley.

WMUR meteorologist Josh Judge predicted the eastern side of New Hampshire will get the strongest winds.

Irene will enter New Hampshire sometime between 6 and 8 a.m. on Sunday, said Judge. By 2 a.m. Monday, the storm will be in Maine. Judge said the storm will weaken as it moves away from the ocean.

"It's sort of like a car running out of gas," said Judge.

When WMUR gave update at around 11:45 a.m., winds were slowing down to 105 mph. The hurricane was still heading toward New York City.

Irene will be quite severe because of her huge size and slow speed. Irene will blanket several northeastern states for six to 10 hours, predicts North Conway resident Ed Minyard who runs a company called Responseforce1. Responseforce1's hurricane experience includes covering Katrina, Rita, Gustav, and Ike. The company can help with evacuations, communications and recovery efforts, among other things.

Irene, says Minyard, will be like nothing most New Englanders have ever seen.

Hurricane Bob, 1991, was smaller in area and moved much quicker than Irene. Minyard is waiting to hear where the hurricane makes landfall.

Once he gets the word from federal government, his company must be at the location and completely operational within 72 hours.

After the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, Minyard helped design a piece of emergency communication equipment called EMCOMMS. It relies on a vehicle roof- or ground-mounted satellite dish to sustain voice, data, video and television links in situations where communication to the outside world has been compromised. Minyard used the machine in the aftermath of Katrina.

If Conway needs an EMCOMMS, Minyard said he'd be able to provide one within 24 hours. At around noon on Friday, Responseforce1 workers were pre-staging in Kentucky.

Minyard helped write the evacuation plan for New Orleans after Katrina. The plan was later put in place in New Orleans before Hurricane Gustav hit — marking the first successful evacuation of an American city. Minyard is writing a book about his disaster experience called "After Disaster: An Insider's Perspective from the Heart of Chaos." It includes information about various hurricanes, Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, the gulf oil spill, and Japan tsunami.

Mount Washington residents need to pay careful attention to what their local emergency officials say, said Minyard who added he's picked up too many bodies of those who didn't listen.

"This is nothing to take lightly," Minyard said.

"Irene is a serious, serious storm."

Solomon suggests taking several steps to prepare for the hurricane. Those include removing loose items from your yard, storing a few days worth of food, water, medications, baby supplies and other essentials. The power might go out and roads might get blocked. Air conditioners should be removed from windows to keep water from getting in your home, said Solomon. see next page

People writing on The Conway Daily Sun's Facebook page seem to be taking the storm in stride. Several people said they expect Irene to lose much of her strength before she arrives here.

“Although I doubt it will be that bad, we did spend the morning picking up the yard ornaments and taking the screen house down,” wrote Joseph Dickinson. “Better safe than sorry. I doubt my neighbors want my stuff in their yards or a stray 2x4 in their windshield.”

Post-storm power outages were the top concern for Dawn James. She remembers not having power for 24 hours after Hurricane Bob. Planning family meals without the ability to cook or refrigerate would be difficult, she wrote.

Former Florida Keys resident Janet Daily suggested people have extra food, water, batteries and ice. Extra water will be helpful for everything from cooking to flushing the toilet. She recommends buying a small camping stove too.

Further, she suggested people fill their car gas tanks and get cash from their accounts.

On Friday, Solomon said there were no plans to open the town's emergency shelters, which are at the Conway Rec

“While there is no record of a hurricane landfall along the New Hampshire coast, coastal areas and inland bays are susceptible to very strong winds, stormsurge flooding, and erosion.

Most hurricane hazards for inland portions of the state occur in response to heavy rainfall, which can cause significant flooding in low-lying areas.”

Center and the schools. However, that could change if the need arises.

Let the fire departments, highway crews and utility workers take care of downed trees, especially if there are wires involved, said Solomon.

Further, Solomon reminds motorists not to drive over flooded roads as currents can carry cars. Residents who live on side roads may have to wait for assistance but crews will come as soon as possible.

Emergency management will pass information on to the public via local radio as it is available. This will include damage reports and road closures if there are any.

For more preparedness information, check out readynh at www.nh.gov/readynh/families/

index.htm On Thursday, SAU 13 superintendent Jay McIntire predicted the storm would bring lots of downed trees and power outages. School officials have been in "hurricane mode" for two full days. K.A. Brett School officials and teachers are hoping Irene won't force them to cancel the back-to-school open house called "sneak peak" scheduled for Monday night from 6 to 7 p.m.

McIntire heard Tamworth will be on the eastern side of the storm, which is the side that gets the most wind. K.A. Brett School is Tamworth's emergency shelter, but officials are in the process of using grant money to replace the school's generator.

"Unfortunately, right now we're in between generators when we happen to be dealing with the one hurricane in the last 100 years in New England," said McIntire.

North Conway Water Precinct superintendent David Bernier said people have been asking if North Conway will have water after the storm hits. Bernier says precinct crews are working around the clock to install a generator ensure water service is uninterrupted.

Jeff Cox, manager of North Conway Hannaford's, said customers were buying water, batteries and other staples. see next page

"We'll be open and everything will be in stock," said Cox. Shaw's manager Mark Libby said the preparation for the hurricane is similar to preparing for a big snow storm. Like Cox, water and batteries are a top item. Other staples that Shaw's will be stocking include firewood and bread.

On Thursday, Wal-Mart manager Andy Pepin said people were buying water, food, and window sheeting. The store wasn't abnormally busy.

Mount Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce president Janice Crawford said businesses are finding creative ways to deal with Irene. As examples, some hotels are offering guests deals to extend their stay, returning deposits of those who cancel their trips, and offering discounts for future stays.

The Yankee Clipper Inn is offering a "head for the hills" package which is $89 for a room with breakfast.

"Some people are being entrepreneurial with this storm," said Crawford.

Since 1850, about 14 hurricanes (wind speeds of at least 74 mph) have made landfall along the southern coasts of Long Island and New England, according to Stampone.

Of these New England hurricanes, five crossed the state of New Hampshire as minimal hurricanes (wind speed of 74 to 110 mph), including the unnamed storms of September 1858 and 1869 as well as the more recent hurricanes Carol (1954), Donna (1960), and Gloria (1985). Other 20th-century New England hur-

ricanes to impact New Hampshire include the “Long Island Express” (1938), the “Great Atlantic Hurricane” (1944), and Hurricane Bob (1991), said Stampone.

“The vast majority of hurricane losses in New England occur along the more densely populated coastal areas of Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts where most storms make landfall," said Stampone. "While there is no record of a hurricane landfall along the New Hampshire coast, coastal areas and inland bays are susceptible to very strong winds, storm-surge flooding, and erosion. Most hurricane hazards for inland portions of the state occur in response to heavy rainfall, which can cause significant flooding in low-lying areas."

Because of the storm, New Hampshire state parks and historic sites will be closed by 6 p.m. on Saturday evening. The White Mountain National Forest and all of its trails and campgrounds will also close at that time.

Commercial campgrounds in Conway should manage themselves by keeping campers out of the floodplain, said Solomon.

Camp Calumet's "giant church fair" scheduled for Sunday in Freedom has been canceled because of Irene.

Stampone will provide data on Hurricane Irene on the New Hampshire State Climate Office website at http://www.unh.edu/stateclimatologist/. Information also is available from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Hurricane Center at http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/graphics_ at4.shtml?5-daynl#contents.

“Most of these storms making their northeast turn further south, so we typically don't see that many that make their way all the way up to New England. Storms tend to dissipate by the time they get here,” said Stampone.

According to Wikipedia, the majority of the storm damage in 1938 was from storm surge and wind.

In total, 4,500 cottages, farms, and other homes were reported destroyed. An additional 25,000 homes were damaged.

Other damages included 26,000 automobiles destroyed, and 20,000 electrical poles top-

The hurricane also devastated the forests of the Northeast, knocking down an estimated two billion trees in New York and New England.

Freshwater flooding was minimal, however, as the quick passage of the storm decreased local rainfall totals, with only a few small areas receiving over 10

••• Hurricanes become legendary — at least in our family.

This writer, for example, remembers hearing a story about that major 1938 hurricane, told by his late mother, Barbara E. Long Eastman (1919-2002), who was then a 19-year-old living in White River Junction, Vt. If the story is remembered correctly, she said that the destruction was severe, and that she and her father went down to the Connecticut River, and saw a home that had been dislodged by the storm, floating downstream.

THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Saturday, August 27, 2011— Page 21

from preceding page

This week's news that the Navy had sent several of its ships stationed in Norfolk, Va., out to sea to ride out Irene brought back memories of another family story: Our father, Robert S. Eastman, then a commander in the U.S. Navy and skipper at the time of the U.S.S. Badger based in Newport, R.I., and his crew rode out two hurricanes in their destroyer at sea in the mid-1950s — a story that landed a story on dad and crew in the Newport newspaper.

In yet another 'cane tale, another hurricane landed our family on the front page of the Norfolk News in 1961 or 1962 as a photographer took a shot of our mom and seven of us kids at Virginia Beach, watching the waves bash in. Our mother always did love a good sea storm.

••• Brother David L. Eastman, 67, of Tamworth, who writes the Country Ecology column for this newspaper and for WMWV 93.5-FM, says while studying forestry at the University of New Hampshire, professors told him of the hurricane's impact on the woods of New Hampshire.

“They said that a great many of the white pines went down and splintered from the way they hit, the way the wood fibers came apart,” says Eastman. “It ended the abundance of huge white pines that were around at the time.”

••• As Eastman noted, the storm's damage to New Hampshire's woods was great.

Photos of that storm's aftermath show major tree damage in our literal neck of the woods, especially in places like Crawford Notch.

Late local historian Janet Hounsell in the book, “Conway, New Hampshire 1765-1997,” writes about the local connections to that storm.

“Late in 1939,” write Hounsell, “the U.S. Forest Service was so overwhelmed with the volume of blow-down timber on its hands in the wake of the hurricane of the previous year that the government broke precedent by advertising that it would accept bids on logging operations.”

Among those who made a bid on a parcel in the White Mountain National Forest was Arthur O. Lucy, who bid on a parcel on the side of Bemis Mountain, near Nancy Brook in Crawford Notch. “[He] got it for $1.50 per thousand board feet," Hounsell wrote. "Three years later, the project wound down, thanks to Fred Lucy [Arthur's son], who was to remark, years later, when asked how he got the spruce logs out, 'Oh, well, we used sluiceways, bobsledded some, twitched 'em; got 'em out any way we could. But it was an uphill job.”

Interviewed this week about the 1938 hurricane and that harvesting job done by Fred, his eldest brother, Chet Lucy said from what he was told, it was one tough job.

“Nancy Brook was basically a spruce stand,” said Lucy. “The government owned it and sold it, and my father bought the stumpage.”

He said the government encouraged harvesters to “dump their logs into a pond” to help preserve them.

“Once in the water, they were OK,” said Lucy, who was 12 at the time of the 1938 hurricane.

“Pequawket Pond in Conway had a lot of logs dumped in there and it took a few years before they cleared it out,” said Lucy.

As for the storm, he says, at first his family thought it was just high winds — not an uncommon occurrence at their farm's exposed location in a clearing on West Side Road near Diana's Baths. At the time of the storm, they were living in a large farmhouse just west of where he lives now. That structure burned in 1942, and is the site of a large barn now.

“We thought it [the Hurricane of '38] was just another wind blow — we have a lot of winds here, especially in winter. It didn't come to us what had happened in the notches for a while,” said Lucy, former owner of Lucy Supply. “When we did see the damage up there, it looked like a big mowing machine had just gone up and laid it down.”

To cope with the aftermath of the Great New England Hurricane of ‘38, the U.S. government parceled out logging jobs to private bidders — including to Arthur O. Lucy of Conway, whose son, Fred, did the work to get timber out up on Bemis Brook near Nancy Pond in Crawford Notch. It proved to be a tough three-year job.(WWW.WHITEMOUNTAINHISTORY.ORG)

A varied and enjoyable time on Sabattus Hiking –––––

On a warm day this week I hiked up Mount Sabattus (1,253 feet) in Lovell, Maine with my 3-year-old grandson Ed Parsons Ridley. As you can imagine, it was a varied and enjoyable time. This 1.5 mile loop hike with a spectacular lookout on top was a great second mountain for Ridley (his first was Jockey Cap in Fryeburg).

The trail up Mount Sabattus is gentle, and less rock and root bound than most in the White Mountains. With the cliff and drop off located at the summit, constant vigilance with a 3 year old is mandatory there. Since there is relatively flat ground on top, this can be a pleasant vigilance. Still, I wouldn’t bring two 3 year olds up there.

That morning in Conway, Ridley’s mother Jessica doted over him as I waited impatiently in the driver’s seat. Then we were off, and I briefly turned up WMWV radio, as we liked to groove on music together, Ridley swaying in his car seat. He is a cool kid after all, his name inspired by a movie director.

Then we quieted down and moved on, turning onto Route 5 in Fryeburg, Maine and heading north to Lovell. We cruised through the Lovell village and continued to Center Lovell.

The second right after the Center Lovell Store was Sabattus Road. About a half mile down that road we bore right on Sabattus Trail Road, which turned to dirt, and in about a mile, spied the big hiker sign on the right. We pulled into the parking lot, which was, as usual for this time of year, close to full.

But I didn’t mind. Ridley was our passport to total approval by most everyone we could possibly meet. see HIKING page 26

Remakes are a tricky business.

If you don't respect and honor the original you'll anger the fan base, but at the same time if you don't do something fresh and new, you beg the question: Why bother? “Fright Night,” a remake of 1985 horror comedy, is a wellcrafted film that justifies its existence.

Unfortunately, “Fright Night” is not a hit. It made about $8 million in its opening weekend, but it actuality that's not too shabby.

The film is modestly budgeted at $17 million dollars and will easily make that money back.

It is just a shame that isn't having the bigger success it deserves because it is better than a lot of films that do become runaway hits. “Twilight,” I'm looking at you.

The original “Fright Night” was about a teen who believes his new neighbor is a vampire. He convinces Peter Vincent, a local late-night horror host played by Roddy McDowall, to aid him in battling the beast next door. In the update Charley Brewster (Anton Yelchin) enlists an occult magician (David Tennant) to face off with the bloodsucker named Jerry (Colin Farrell).

This is a remake with a good pedigree. It is written by Marti Noxon, who was a regular writer for both “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and its spin off series “Angel.” She is very familiar with this material and knows how to handle self-aware humor with out pushing it too far while at the same time providing real shock moments.

Director Craig Gillespie's first film was the quirky “Lars and the Real Girl,” which was about a

Reel Reviews ––––– Alec Kerr

young man with paralyzing social anxiety who orders a sex doll, but then starts treating it like a real woman that he is dating.

As a director, Gillespie may not seem like the natural choice to do a horror comedy, but his experience as an indie filmmaker clearly helped him in working on a tight budget and in keeping a focus on the characters. Gillespie creates a darker mood than the original and there is plenty of gory action and chases, especially in the back half of the movie, but the film always puts the characters first.

Jerry, as played by Chris Sarandon in the original, was suave, sophisticated. That cannot be said of the new Jerry. Farrell brings an intense bad-boy sex appeal to the character. He is a genuine lady killer. Farrell seems practically feral at times, but also has a calm, menacing intensity in the way he passive aggressively taunts Charley without directly threatening him. It is a fantastic performance that makes this film fundamentally work.

Tennant as the updated Peter Vincent has a lot of fun mocking the arrogant rock-star personas of so-called magicians like Criss Angel and David Blaine.

He has a great bit of business in which, while talking with Yelchin's Charley, he slowly strips away his wig, phony beard and piercings. Tennant gets a delicate balance between lecherous star and reluctant, even cowardly, hero.

In a departure from the original, it is Charley's friend Ed (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) who is convinced Jerry is a vampire while Charley is the skeptical one. In this version Charley starts out the film not entirely likable. He sold out his friendship with Ed to become popular and there's a certain sadness in the Charley and Ed dynamic this time around.

Mintz-Plasse, who will perhaps always be known as McLovin from “Superbad,” is very good in the smaller, but crucial role of Ed. He does his same thing here, but what he does as a comic actor is effective. Within his persona, though, he finds some unexpected darker, dramatic notes that actually improve upon a character that in the original was mostly annoying comic relief.

Imogen Poots as the obligatory love interest is given a bit more to do than be a damsel in distress.

Yes, the finale of the film is rescuing her, but as was true of the original, there is an interesting dynamic there. Yelchin, who is a consistently solid actor, and Poots have a believably sweet chemistry. There's a tender moment in which Poots tells Yelchin why she really likes him.

“Fright Night” isn't anything you haven't seen before, but it is a rare remake that may just be an upgrade of the original. There are authentic laughs and scares and at the center a terrific vampire as they once were before they started to brood and sparkle instead of bite and suck.

HIKING from page 22

We brought three water bottles of various sizes, and plenty of food as we both liked to eat. Jessica had packed a lunch for both of us, as did I. Why not bring it all?

Curiously, my pack weighed about as much as when I climb Mount Adams in the winter.

We headed, charming a half dozen people in the parking lot before hitting the trail. We took the right hand loop trail, which was the original trail before the loop was made, and, for Ridley, entered the new paradigm of climbing a mountain on a muggy summer day.

Ridley did great for more than half way up. The last section he climbed was the steepest section on the trail, and long for a 3 year old on a humid day. Then he pointed out where the strain to his body seemed to congregate, putting his hands together on his lower back, and combining that with an expressive tone of voice. He didn’t ask for a ride on my shoulders.

But I gave it willingly, and the rest of the way to the top, we cruised along as one tall being.

We arrived at the top at the same time as an older couple. The woman willingly became our official summit photographer when we needed a picture of the two of us

together. Twice she agreed to this, in two important spots.

The first, was the open summit, with its two metal benches, both placed there as memorials. The outward view to the south was spectacular as we walked past them, and down to the end of the cliff, where our official pictures were taken. Then we returned to a bench, and lunch.

Why didn’t we just sit on the pleasantly warm ledge instead? I should explain that Ridley enjoys the ritual of us both sitting on a bench or in adjacent chairs. Occasionally, when we are out on the town and walking through a building, he will spy a bench or chairs and we will have to go

sit down. But only very briefly).

I handed Ridley two hard boiled eggs in quick succession, shoving his water bottle towards him at appropriate moments. I remember that we shared an apple and that we saved the peanut butter sandwiches that Jessica had made for later. Still, my pack got a little lighter.

After a pleasant pause, we headed back across the summit towards the descending loop, which first traversed the edge of the summit in the trees for a few hundred feet. Then it reached a big boulder embedded in the ground, before it turned north and headed downward.

This big boulder was pure milky quartz. I wanted to show it to Ridley. We arrived at it, and he was impressed, climbing all over it while I took pictures. Then the couple came, and we got our official picture together on it.

Ridley walked the first half of the trail down. But there was obviously no hurry. He seemed to pause and look at virtually everything along the way, and a couple times paused in the middle of the trail itself to make small piles of pebbles and dirt. He was just

getting into it.

It would have taken two hours for us to walk the three quarters of a mile down to the car, if the impatient adult with him hadn’t finally picked him up and carried him.

But to compensate for putting up with me, we stopped at the Center Lovell Store later, where I got a small coffee and he got an orange sherbet push-up.

On the drive back, he pretty much bathed in the orange sherbet, and I had to stop to clean him up. But he had such a look of quenched thirst in his eyes, that it was well worth it.

Front Porch Quilt Show Northland at Remick Museum today LOBSTER

TAMWORTH — The Remick Museum and Farm holds its final concession lunch of the season along with the Front Porch Quilt Show on Saturday, Aug. 27, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Area quilters will showcase their art on the museum's front porch. The show will also feature a children’s paper quilt along with a collection of historic Remick family quilts. Sit a spell in Marion’s Garden and listen to live music while savoring complimentary lavender lemonade and Aunt Gertrude’s blueberry cake.

There will be a guided tour of the farm at 11 a.m. and visitors may stroll

considerable respect for this notorious, cracker woman he was describing in his song. She may have been as poisonous as the greens she was gathering up.

John K. Terres’ bible, “Songbirds in your Garden,” written back in 1953, had these statements on the pokeweed in his 1968 edition. Readers had wondered why he did not include the pokeberry initially for bird attraction, and he explained that he thought it homely, even ungainly looking. Terres did admit that it fed 52 species of birds.

He thought that if you allowed it to grow in some inconspicuous place, such as in a corner of your yard, (where it would not be easily seen) that it would add much to your garden s attractiveness for birds. He mentioned that the birds plant it themselves, because they void the seeds wherever they travel after eating the berries.

Terres then went on to say that mourning doves are especially fond of pokeberries, and that the fruits are also favored by bluebirds, catbirds, woodpeckers, robins, mockingbirds, thrushes, vireos, cardinals, cedar waxwings and may other songsters as well.

So, it looks as if this southern perennial weed that dies back to the ground every fall, will spring up each year to produce thousands of berries on its nearly 10 foot leafy-green stalk every August. Terres also noted that every one of the berries was eaten within a week of the crop ripening on his ugly pokeweed.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Lynn Johnston

by Scott Adams

DILBERT

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You have a higher social interest than merely impressing others with your lifestyle.

You really want to connect with others, laugh, and share and foster a sense of belonging.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You are an excellent judge of character and can also match a person’s personality to the task that will allow him or her to shine. You’ll put these skills to excellent use.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

There will be a choice between now and later: Choose now. As Jane Austen proclaimed, “Why not seize the pleasure at once? How often is happiness destroyed by preparation, foolish preparations!”

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Avoid anyone with a sour disposition -it’s catching. If you do get accidentally poisoned with pessimism, the anecdote is to change each negative word to a positive one.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You acknowledge that each person has free will. You often stand back to make room for others to express themselves.

This habit benefits you now, as creative people will want to include you in their plans.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 27).

You’ll make your long-term needs a priority, and the daily matters come together brilliantly. You learn that you can depend on your intuition and instinct for matters as big as finding love or as small as finding your keys.

Last year’s work will become this year’s profit. December brings an astounding piece of good fortune. Libra and Leo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 15, 40, 46 and 11.

Get Fuzzy

ARIES (March 21-April 19). If only there was someone you could call to arrange the day’s events into a more amusing juxtaposition. Wait, there is!

An unpredictable Sagittarius or Gemini person.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The temptation for public sharing will be high. Just make sure the publicity will be good for you. And save your deepest feelings, fears, funny thoughts and insecurities for your extreme inner circle.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Make some decisions about how you want to be with loved ones and what you intend to accomplish by day’s end. By doing this, you prevent letting the environment control your behavior.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). A little vanity will go a long way. You’ll pay attention to your image now so that you can relax and do your work later without worrying about what you look like doing it.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The gifts you give that don’t cost money will be the most needed. Your eye contact, a smile, physical assistance, compassion -- the molecules of goodness you radiate will spread themselves all over the globe.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The passion in you is a bubbling cauldron of hot vitality. As you pour yourself into an endeavor, things begin to change very quickly. Tonight you’ll hit your pillow with a smile on your face.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You will offer your cooperation to someone with a strong personality. To avoid getting swallowed up by this person’s drive, ambition and personal interest, declare your boundaries and maintain them.

THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Saturday, August 27, 2011— Page 33

Today is Saturday, Aug. 27, the 239th day of 2011. There are 126 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Aug. 27, 1883, the island volcano Krakatoa blew up; the resulting tidal waves in Indonesia’s Sunda Strait claimed some 36,000 lives in Java and Sumatra.

On this date: In 1776, the Battle of Long Island began during the Revolutionary War as British troops attacked American forces, who ended up being forced to retreat two days later.

In 1859, Edwin L. Drake drilled the first successful oil well in the United States, at Titusville, Pa. In 1908, Lyndon Baines Johnson, the 36th president of the United States, was born near Stonewall, Texas.

In 1939, the first turbojet-powered aircraft, the Heinkel He 178, went on its first full-fledged test flight over Germany.

In 1949, a violent white mob prevented an outdoor concert headlined by Paul Robeson from taking place near Peekskill, N.Y. (The concert was held eight days later.)

In 1957, the USS Swordfish, the second Skate Class nuclear submarine, was launched from the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Maine.

In 1962, the United States launched the Mariner 2 space probe, which flew past Venus in Dec. 1962.

In 1979, British war hero Lord Louis Mountbatten and three other people, including his 14-year-old grandson Nicholas, were killed off the coast of Ireland in a boat explosion claimed by the Irish Republican Army.

In 1989, the first U.S. commercial satellite rocket was launched from Cape Canaveral, Fla. — a Delta booster carrying a British communications satellite, the Marcopolo 1.

One year ago: Aijalon Gomes, an American held seven months in North Korea for trespassing, stepped off a plane in his hometown of Boston accompanied by former President Jimmy Carter, who had flown to Pyongyang to negotiate his freedom.

by Abigail Van Buren

ENGAGED COUPLE’S DIFFERENCES ARE CAUSE FOR NEEDED PAUSE

DEAR ABBY: “Seth” and I have been going out for almost three years. We have been engaged for a year and I love him, but every time he talks about living together or getting married, I get so nervous and scared that I suffer anxiety attacks.

We have differences when it comes to handling money, keeping the house in order and having pets. We also argued about a pre-nup agreement. Seth won’t change his position on it and I’m still resentful. I’m worried that if we live together I’ll end up with his debts. If things don’t work out, I don’t want to start all over again.

We’re both divorced with kids. We have a good relationship except for my fear of going to the next level. -- SKITTISH IN CANADA DEAR SKITTISH: You and Seth have significant areas of disagreement, and they are ones that could affect the outcome of your relationship. That’s why it is important for you to seek premarital counseling to see if they can be worked out. If they can’t be, then you and Seth need to find different partners, because the issues upon which you differ are deal-breakers, and the last thing either of you -- or your children -- need is another divorce.

DEAR ABBY: I have always had a close relationship with my mother. She is smart, wonderful and sweet, but she can also be naive.

In the past Mom has trusted people who turned out to be not very nice. When she began this relationship with the “perfect man,” I was curious. I inquired about his prior relationships and history in general. He openly shared details about his past -- except for one thing I later discovered on my own.

He has served an extensive stint in prison for being a child

predator and is still on parole.

I don’t want him around my children or any of my mom’s other grandchildren. Mom says he’s a reformed person now.

He may be, but I don’t know him well. Mom is welcome to see my children anytime, but not with him. She thinks I’m being unreasonable, and I’m uncomfortable about the way she is pressing the issue. What should I do? -- CAN’T BACK DOWN ON THIS ONE DEAR CAN’T BACK DOWN: Stand firm in your resolve until such time as YOU are convinced the “perfect man” will not offend again. Your mother is emotional about him and is not thinking clearly. If he had leveled about the fact he’s on parole and for what, that would be one thing. But he didn’t, and that is cause for worry.

DEAR ABBY: I am a man who has tried to lose weight for my health and failed. I am trying again now and have lost 40 pounds. A couple of years ago I did the same thing, and then before I knew it I gained it all back. I’m really trying to keep it off this time.

A co-worker said, “You look good with the weight loss, but do you think you’ll be able to keep it off this time?” I had no idea what to say. I told him we all have our vices, but I am trying. Abby, the comment hurt my feelings. How would you suggest handling the situation? -- SMALLER IN NEW HAMPSHIRE DEAR SMALLER: Your co-worker’s comment was thoughtless. But if he brings up the subject again, tell him how it made you feel the first time he did, and that your weight problem is really none of his business.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

TAMWORTH — Stay at home mom Lindsay Weigel always wanted to write and publish her own book. With the vampire romance craze still in full swing, this June Weigel released her very first book, “Reacquainted.� “Its basically one woman’s journey of finding independence through love,� Weigel explains, “It is very difficult to give a good synopsis, though, because there are so many twists and turns.�

After three months of writing, Weigel began to self-publish her book. “It took about a year,� she says, “I revised it, then sent it to an editor. Originally it was much, much longer.�

The whole experience has been quite “whimsical� for Weigel. She says that the idea for the piece came to her in one of her many daydreams. “All throughout the day I have visions,� she says, “like when I wash the dishes or do the laundry. I guess it’s just my way of passing the time.�

Weigel’s inspiration for the book was the vision of a man’s hand brushing a woman’s fore-

head. A little over a year later and her book is sold online at amazon.com, barnsandnoble. com, for eBook, in hard and soft cover, and can be found at both the Chorcorua and Tamworth Libraries. “I’ve always been interested in vampires,� Weigel says, “R.L. Stein was one of my favorite authors as a kid. I like that I can make them as powerful or kind or cruel as I want to. Every vampire can be very different from the next.�

Weigel wishes she could make writing her full time job, but being a stay at home mom is more important to her. She does have a second book finished, though. Another vampire romance, just this time geared more towards young adults.

"My second book is more PG," Weigel says, "'Reacquainted' is an adult novel."

But despite its adult nature, book reviewer Sharon Goodwin says if you are a fan of the Twilight series you will enjoy reading “Reaquainted.�

"The main character, Laurie, is a creature of habit. She takes comfort in her solitude and never dreams of having romance. Then one day she meets a man who is so familiar she can’t help falling in love with

him.

Despite her worries, she opens herself up to this potential romance. Everything comes to a head when she sees something that shows his true nature and also reveals part of herself that she is unaware of.

She must decide whether friendship, life, and most importantly, love is worth all the sweet deception."

Weigel lives in Tamworth with her husband, two children, and their dog. For more information get your hands on her book and read.

Kao's 'Habitations' at Patricia Carega Gallery in Sandwich Exhibit shows work of first national forest artist in residence SANDWICH — "Habitations," new work by James Kao, the White Mountain National Forest's first artist in residence, will be on exhibit Aug. 28 through Sept. 15 at the Patricia Ladd Carega Gallery, 69 Maple Street, Center Sandwich. The opening reception will take place Sunday, Aug. 28, from 5 to 8 p.m.

Kao is a Chicago painter who teaches at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. He has been in residence at Mead Base in Center Sandwich — from which he can be deep in the woods after a very short walk — throughout August, with a mission to create new work inspired by the forest.

The Artist in Residence program is a partnership of the White Mountain National Forest and the Arts Alliance of Northern New Hampshire, which is coordinating the White Mountains Cultural Festival: 8 Days of Weeks, a celebration of the arts, heritage and environment in the White Mountains and the 100th anniversary of the Weeks Act — the law that helped launch the eastern national forests, including the White Mountain National Forest. The residency program seeks to use art and creative expression to explore the ways in which people relate to forests in general, and to the White Mountain National Forest in particular.

A percentage of proceeds from the exhibit will benefit White Mountain National Forest, the Arts Alliance, and the Friends of Mead Base Conservation Center.

For additional information about the exhibit, call 284-7728, or visit www.patricialaddcarega.com. For details about the White Mountains Cultural Festival: 8 Days of Weeks (which is centered in the Gorham area this weekend), visit 8daysofweeks.org or call 3237302.

North Conway Library hosts Spencer Quinn at author luncheon on Sept. 6

CONWAY ‚ The North Conway Public Library has finalized details for its upcoming author luncheon fundraiser with Spencer Quinn, author of the ‘Chet and Bernie’ mysteries.

The luncheon will take place at Maestro’s Restaurant on Tuesday, Sept. 6, at noon. Tickets are $20 and all proceeds will go to the North Conway Library.

Maestro’s is offering a three-course meal with salad and rolls, a choice of four entrées, and dessert.

The luncheon is done in conjunction with White Birch Books. The book store has agreed to raffle off a packet of all four of Spencer Quinn’s books. At the luncheon, raffle tickets are available for $5 and the winner of all the books will be drawn by the end of the event.

Proceeds from the raffle will go to the Animal Rescue League of NH-North (“Conway Animal Shelter”).

In Spencer Quinn’s Chet and Bernie Mystery Series, Chet is the wise and lovable canine narrator, who works alongside Bernie, a down-on-his-luck private investigator. Chet might have flunked out of police school (“I’d been the best leaper in K-9 class, which had led to all the trouble in a way I couldn’t remember exactly, although blood was involved”), but he’s a detec-

tive through and through.

Readers will be captivated by Chet’s doggy ways and his endearingly hard-boiled voice. Full of heart and occasionally prone to mischief, he is intensely loyal to Bernie, who, though distracted by issues that Chet has difficulty understanding — like divorce, cash flow, and child custody — is enormously likeable himself, in his flawed, all-too-human way. There’s genuine suspense and intrigue, combined with humor and deep insight into the bond between dog and man. From a dog’s-eye perspective, crime has never been so much fun.

Quinn will be celebrating the release of his fourth book in the series “The Dog who knew too much” at this luncheon fund-raiser. To learn more about Quinn, check out www.ChetTheDog.com. All Chet and Bernie books are available at North Conway Public Library and are for sale at White Birch Books, of course.

Tickets for this luncheon are limited to fewer than 50 people to make it a more intimate event. For more information or to reserve your ticket, call White Birch Books at (603) 356-3200 or the North Conway Library at (603) 356-2961 or check out www.NorthConwayLibrary.com.

Tai Chi Society offers free classes in Bridgton

Members of Tai Chi Maine have been offering free tai chi classes at the Old Town Hall on North High Street in Bridgton for the past five months.

In addition to the health benefits of practicing this ancient art of moving meditation, the Bridgton Recreation Department received a check for $ 650 for their scholarship fund from Tai Chi Maine in appreciation for the use of the Old Town Hall and in support of the many beneficial athletic and cultural programs which the Bridgton Recreation Department provides to the community.

An essential part of Tai Chi Main’s philosophy is “giving back to community” and this gift fulfills that commitment by completing a circle of giving that will keep on giving to the local community.

Tom Tash, Director of the Bridgton Recreation Department, is shown here (center) practicing Moy Tai Chi with Tai Chi Maine instructor Brian Grennan and his class.

Free classes for new beginners start Sept. 13, Tuesdays at 9:30 a.m. in the Old Town

Hall. For more information on Moy Tai Chi, visit: www.taichiinmaine.com.

Carroll County United holding kindergarten readiness discussion TAMWORTH — The Carroll County Readiness and Success Team is hosting a kindergarten readiness community conversation “The Carroll County Readiness Round-up” Tuesday, Sept.

27, at Runnells Hall, adjacent to the Chocorua Public Library.

Helping kids come to school ready to learn is one of the most powerful economic development actions that a community can take. It is far more effective to help kids make a strong start in school than to try and help them catch up down the road. The team says there are wide variations in children’s school readiness in Carroll County and there is local interest in wanting to help more children come to school “ready to learn.”

The public is invited to particiALBANY from page 40

Full academic programs are for elementary and middle school is available. Special subjects include: German, French, movement, Music, strings program, art, handwork and woodworking. On Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. is the open house. A good chance to see the classrooms and meet the teachers.

Jonathan Sarty and the White Mountain Boys will be at the Wildcat

pate in this community conversation among early childhood educators, parents, caregivers, kindergarten teachers and community organizations to begin to address how everybody can work together to improve the outcomes for kids.

The evening will begin with light dinner and networking at 5:30 p.m.

The community conversation will run from 6 to 7:30 p.m. A courtesy RSVP is requested by Sept. 22; call (603) 3238139 or email cyndi@lruw.org.

The mission of Carroll County United is to encourage “working together to make Carroll County a place where all generations can live, work & thrive.”

CCU is an initiative of Lakes Region United Way. For more information visit www.CarrollCountyUnited.org.

Gibson Craft Fair Sept. 3-4 Back in 1954, hurricane Carol came up the East coast and did quite a bit of damage to my hometown of South Boston. I was just a “tiny little squirt” at the time. At that age the notion of an approaching hurricane didn’t scare me — unlike my mother. While she ran around the house closing windows and blinds and looking for her rosary beads, I kept trying to peek out the window to see if anything exciting had happened yet. Things change however as we get “older and wiser.” I don’t anticipate hurricanes with the same sense of excitement I felt at 5 but I must admit; I still like watching a good lightning storm. Watch out for Irene and be safe.

As I mentioned last week our annual Labor Day Weekend Craft Fair will be held this coming Saturday and Sunday Sept. 3 and 4 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. There’s a great variety of crafters signed up with us this year. There will be fine jewelry, pottery, gourmet specialty foods, maple syrup, kettle korn, quilts, Adirondack chairs, French hair braiding and much more. We’ll have our fingers crossed for good weather and hope you can join us.

Jill has a lot of great programs and trips coming in the next month or two so be sure to check the listing below or go to our web site at www.gibsoncenter.org.

HOME OF THE WEEK

Bracing for Irene

BY JASON ROBIE OK, so Dexy’s Midnight Runners were talking about “Eileen," but the weather forecasters and news folks have got us all thinking about the impending hurricane sweeping up the East Coast.

In fact, by the time you are reading this, you have likely already grabbed a few gallons of bottled water and some extra batteries just in case.

We are fortunate to live in the Northeast when it comes to these types of weather challenges. Sure, we have our own issues to deal with: ice storms, biting cold and wind, deep snow pack and the occasional thunderstorm with hail (and did you hear about that tornado over in Canaan last week?).

But at the end of the day, we have it pretty good up here. It is very rare to see a hurricane or tornado in these parts, and for that I am quite grateful.

When building my home, I was advised to include “hurricane bracing” throughout the walls.

Apparently these cross-patterned studs provide additional bracing from fierce winds. Having lived in smaller, less sturdy homes in my past, the eerie feeling of your house moving from the forces of nature is not a good one and is not conducive to a good night’s sleep!

So while we rest in relative safety from these destructive and powerful forces of nature, it is still a good idea to be mindful of some basic precautions to ensure the safety of your biggest investment.

Through my reading, I found that many of the measures recommended are necessary to do when you are facing new construction. What we should be most concerned with today is what we can do with the homes we already built! Let’s take a look.

One of the more interesting and obvious places to get overlooked is the garage. According to CNN/ Money, about 80 percent of residential hurricane damage starts with wind entry through garage doors. Most of these doors are made of relatively lightweight materials and that makes them quite vulnerable. It is also the largest expanse, in most homes, between studs or supporting beams. That leaves us relying very heavily on the construction of the door itself.

There is a safety rating organization that applies stickers on the insides of garage doors that provide the consumer with a pressure rating. (I was unable to find any such sticker on my door.) Of course there are also plenty of products that claim to provide protection that are not quite up to code.

In the short term, you can use plywood or steel to reinforce your doors and you can always hire a contractor to reinforce the garage for you. There is also a product called “Secure Door” that you can look up online. It is essentially a vertical brace that will provide that additional support for your door.

The next top spot for wind entry is windows and other entry doors. Clearly “French doors” and larger panes of glass are the top vulnerabilities, but all glass openings can be an avenue for entry.

Most experts agree that taping your windows is a total waste of time. All that does is keep the glass pieces taped together when the debris shatters the window. Impact resistant glass and shutters are the only real viable way to go. Of course if time is not on your side, plywood is the next best option.

The thicker the better, but providing some sort of blockage from gusting wind and airborne debris is the main goal here.

Check the trees around your home. Each year falling trees and limbs cause hundreds of millions see ROBIE page 45

A slice of fairway living Today’s Home of the Week is a contemporary home just a chip shot away from the eighth fairway at Hales Location.

White Horse Ledge, emerald green lawns and garden views from every window are just the beginning of what you get with this threebedroom, 2 1/2-bath Hale’s Location home.

The home has 126 feet of frontage on the eighth fairway and features a 48-foot farmer's porch with multiple ceiling fans.

Two guest bedrooms have a shared bath in a private wing off the main living area.

French doors open to a bright work or relaxing getaway, which can be fourth bedroom.

An elegant formal dining area next to the great room allows for expanded entertaining and dining.

The great room features a 42-inch raised stone hearth and gas fireplace, hand-crafted beams, walnut floor, wet bar and golf course views.

There is a 3,024 square-foot basement, insulated and ready to be finished, and a 483-square-foot "bonus room." with plumbing and insulation.

of dollars in damage as well as personal injury. The first line of defense against this is you and I, the homeowner. Take a quick walk around your home and look at the trees. You don’t have to be an arbor culturist to spot a broken limb or a dying or dead tree. Keep an eye out for trees that lean heavily to one side, have branches hanging close to the house or power lines or have mushrooms growing from the bark (which indicates decay). All of these might be standing today, but would quickly succumb to heavy winds and rain.

The reading I did also talked a bit about securing your roof. The only real short-term solution is applying glue or some other sort of adhesive to your shingles to keep them pinned down to the roof and doing their job. In more hurricane-prone areas, the experts recommend reinforcing the roof’s trusses and bracing as well as using hurricane rated roof tiles.

The last thing on our list is simply securing your “stuff." Leslie Chapman-Henderson of the Federal Alliance for Safe Homes notes: “We saw garden gnomes wedged into palm trees. We saw an old record sliced into a tree. We saw sailboats in the tops of trees after Hurricane Andrew." While you are outside inspecting your trees, take a look around at what you have lying around. Patio furniture, trash cans, grills, toys and

potted plants can all become projectiles with enough wind.

The main source of damage from hurricanes seems to be split into two parts, both naturally pertaining to wind. If wind breaches the home through a window or door, the walls and roof simply cannot withstand the added pressure and the structure of the home is compromised. The other factor is what the wind carries with it. I distinctly remember the flying cow in the movie “Twister," but we are talking about smaller and much faster-moving debris. A Category 3 hurricane (which is what Irene currently is) pumps out winds up to 130 mph! Even the smallest items traveling at those speeds become deadly and damaging missiles.

One common myth about hurricane proofing is that it is simply not worth the money. The four hurricanes of the 2004 season resulted in 1.66 million insurance claims adding up to more than $20 billion in losses. We are fortunate enough to have some time before Irene arrives. Most forecasts have her hitting the Northeast

by Sunday or Monday. Take a little time today and see what you can do to ensure the safety of your home and the people in it.

U.S. may back refinance plan for mortgages

THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Saturday, August 27, 2011— Page 47

BY SHAILA DEWAN AND LOUISE STORY NEW YORK TIMES

The Obama administration is considering further actions to strengthen the housing market, but the bar is high: plans must help a broad swath of homeowners, stimulate the economy and cost next to nothing.

One proposal would allow millions of homeowners with government-backed mortgages to refinance them at today’s lower interest rates, about 4 percent, according to two people briefed on the administration’s discussions who asked not to be identified because they were not allowed to talk about the information.

A wave of refinancing could be a strong stimulus to the economy, because it would lower consumers’ mortgage bills right away and allow them to spend elsewhere. But such a sweeping change could face opposition from the regulator who oversees Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and from investors in government-backed mortgage bonds.

Administration officials said on Wednesday that they were weighing a range of proposals, including changes to its previous refinancing programs to increase the number of homeowners taking part. They are also working on a home rental program that would try to shore up housing prices by preventing hundreds of thousands of foreclosed homes from flooding the market. That program is further along — the administration requested ideas for execution from the private sector earlier this month.

But refinancing could have far greater breadth,

saving homeowners, by one estimate, $85 billion a year. Despite record low interest rates, many homeowners have been unable to refinance their loans either because they owe more than their houses are now worth or because their credit is tarnished.

Exactly how a refinancing plan might work is still under discussion. It is unclear, for example, whether people who are delinquent on their mortgages would be eligible or whether lenders would administer it.

Federal officials have consistently overestimated the number of households that would be helped by their various housing assistance programs.

A working group of housing experts across several federal agencies could recommend one or both proposals, or come up with new ones. Or it might decide to do nothing.

Investors may suspect a plan is in the works. Fannie and Freddie mortgage bonds had been trading well above their face value because so few people were refinancing, keeping returns on the bonds high. But those bond prices dropped sharply this week.

Administration discussions about housing proposals have taken on added urgency this summer because the housing market is continuing to deteriorate. On Wednesday, the government said that prices of homes with government-backed mortgages fell 5.9 percent in the second quarter from a year earlier, the biggest decline since 2009. More than one in five homeowners with mortgages owe more than their homes are worth.

Some analysts are now predicting waves of foreclosures and a continuing slide in home prices.

There is not much time to help the market before the 2012 election, and given Congressional resistance to other types of stimulus, housing may be the only economic fix in reach. Federal programs to assist homeowners have been regarded as ineffective so far, and they are complex.

“We are looking at trying to encourage more participation in all of the programs, including those that help with refinancing,” said Phyllis Caldwell, who oversees housing policy at the Treasury Department.

Some economists say that with housing prices and interest rates at affordable levels, only fear is keeping consumers out of the market. Frank E. Nothaft, the chief economist at Freddie Mac, said the federal action could instill confidence.

“It almost seems to me you want to have some type of announcement or policy, program or something from the federal government that provides that clear signal that we are here supporting the housing market and this is indeed a good time to really consider buying,” Nothaft said.

The refinancing idea has been around since at least 2008, but proponents say the recent drop in interest rates to below 4 percent may breathe new life into the plan.

“This is the best stimulus out there because it doesn’t increase the deficit, it accomplishes monetary policy, and it reduces defaults in housing,” said Christopher J. Mayer, an economist at the Columbia see REFINANCE PLAN page 48

Business School. “So I think this is lowhanging fruit.” Mayer and a colleague, Glenn Hubbard, who was chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers under President George W. Bush, proposed an early version of the plan.

The idea is appealing because it would not necessarily require Congressional action. It also would not tap any of the $45.6 billion in Troubled Asset Relief Funds that was set aside to help struggling homeowners. Only $22.9 billion of that pool has been spent or pledged so far, and fewer than 1.7 million loans have been modified under federal programs. But Andrea Risotto, a Treasury spokeswoman, said whatever was left would be used to reduce the federal deficit.

A mass refinancing plan would spread the benefits of the Federal Reserve’s most important economic policy response, low interest rates, to more people. As of July, an estimated $2.4 trillion in mortgages backed by Fannie and Freddie carried interest rates of 4.5 percent or higher.

The two prevailing ideas, lowering rates on mortgages and converting houses owned by government entities like Freddie and Fannie into rentals and other uses, have somewhat different pockets of support.

Investment firms would like to participate in the rental program, especially if the government lends them money to participate. For the most part, banks prefer the refinancing plan. There are many high-ranking proponents of the refinancing plan.

Joseph Tracy, a senior adviser to the chairman of the New York Federal Reserve, has circulated a presentation in support of the plan. And Richard B.

Berner, who recently joined the Treasury Department as counselor to Secretary Timothy F. Geithner, argued in favor of a blanket refinancing in his previous job as chief United States economist for Morgan Stanley.

The proponents say the plan carries little risk because the mortgages are already guaranteed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. They also say it makes those loans less likely to go into default and ultimately foreclosure.

But the plan has some drawbacks.

Some officials fear that promoting mass refinancings today could spook investors and make borrowing more expensive, for both homeowners and the federal government, in the future.

The government has already encouraged some refinancing through the Federal Housing Administration and through Fannie and Freddie, but participation is limited. For example, the Home Affordable Refinance Program excludes homeowners who owe more than 125 percent of the value of their house. To spur more refinancing, the government may decide to encourage Fannie and Freddie to lift such restrictions.

But government officials cautioned that Fannie and Freddie do not do the administration’s bidding, even though they are essentially owned by taxpayers. Edward J. DeMarco, who oversees the companies as acting director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, has voiced concerns about any plan that might cost the companies money, according to the two people briefed on the discussions. “FHFA remains open to all ideas that provide needed assistance to borrowers” while minimizing the cost to taxpayers, DeMarco said in a written statement.

Vanilla Ice: The rapper turned remodeler has made a name for himself in the real estate world

BY LISA IANNUCCI CTW FEATURES

In one conversation, Vanilla Ice energetically talks about remodeling, feng shui and reading real estate statistics, and he predicts when the economy will bounce back. Not quite what you expect from the guy who is mostly remembered for his pompadour and 1990 rap smash hit "Ice Ice Baby." But then again this Vanilla Ice prefers to be called Rob — his name is Robert Van Winkle — and while music is still a huge part of his life, he's making quite a name for himself in the real estate industry.

Today, he's the star of "The Vanilla Ice Project" on the DIY Network, which follows his Palm Beach, Fla., house renovation (it was recently picked up for a second season), and his passion for real estate has pushed him to launch his own real estate website, VanillaIceRealEstate.com. He says he created to site to show others how to duplicate his success.

"I made tons of money I didn't know what to do with when I was 16, so I bought houses," he says. "I never used them, so I sold them and made millions. So I bought some more."

With as much energy as former infomercial impresario Ron Popeil, Van Winkle's website touts a music-video style of introduction, real estate guide, real estate rock star registration and a blog where the 44-year-old star discusses the housing market.

THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Saturday, August 27, 2011— Page 49

Van Winkle has tried his hand at the stock market but ended up losing money. He wasn't impressed. "I'm listening to this guy tell me the ups and downs of the market, and all I have is a piece of paper in a filing cabinet," he says. So he stuck with what was working and soon purchased commercial spaces and rental buildings. But Van Winkle is sympathetic to the changes in today's economy and how it isn't the same as when he was a kid. "The economy has changed, but you have to evolve too," he says. "You can purchase short sales or foreclosures. It's all about location, location, location."

He even predicts that the current depressed economy will bounce back by the end of this year. "America needs goods and homes," he says. "Tomorrow's a mystery, yesterday's history."

As for his real estate recommendations, Van Winkle suggests finding locations that were hit the hardest economically and researching the area. "Buy lower than the appraised value," he says. "If you have a home appraised at $1 million and you get it for $500,000, you can still buy it at the appraised value and make money."

On his show he's a hands-on guy, knocking down walls and getting his hands dirty. "I know what I'm doing, and I don't want to let these guys have all the fun," he says. "After, we look at it and think 'wow look at how that home theater came out.'" see VANILLA ICE page 50

VANILLA ICE from page 49

If there's one thing he's learned through all of his superstar experiences, it's to make sure you have the right team around you. He credits the book "The Platinum Rule" by Tony Alessandra and Michael J. O'Connor for teaching him the concepts that show you how to judge character. "The book shows you that there are four types of people — thinkers, relaters, socializers and directors," he says.

"If you have a team of all four of those people, you're going to be successful. You can't have too many of any one of them."

In addition to his foray into real estate, die-hard Ice fans will be happy to know that he's still working on music and has a role in the upcoming Adam Sandler upcoming flick "I Hate You, Dad." © CTW Features

Prioritizing the purchase The economy may be in a holding pattern, but more Americans are aiming to own their home in the future If you don't currently own a home, odds are owning one in the future is one of your top financial priorities.

According to the National Association of Realtors' 2011 National Housing Pulse Survey, 72 percent of renters said owning is a top priority for their future, up from 63 percent in 2010. The annual survey measures how affordable-housing issues affect consumers; the 2011 survey polled of 1,250 U.S. adults.

While nearly two-thirds of Americans surveyed say now is a good time to buy a home, more than three-quarters (77 percent) of renters said they would be less likely to buy a home if they were required to put down a 20-percent down payment on the home. The 20-percent requirement would have been an impediment to many who currently own their home, too. More than half (51 percent) of self-described "working class" owners and younger noncollege grads (also 51 percent), African Americans (57 percent), and Hispanics (50 percent) say a 20-percent required down payment would have prevented them from buying.

Homeowners' insurance policies come in many shapes and sizes

BY MARILYN KENNEDY MELIA CTW FEATURES

"You're going to need homeowners' insurance."

New buyers — who may not have even considered protecting their home from disaster — are going to hear this edict from their mortgage lender.

Later, if weather wreaks havoc, an owner's first question is: "Will my insurance cover the damage?"

Don't rely on the persistent myth that policies offer similar coverage and that you choose an insurer based on its reputation and the rates charged, warns Daniel Schwarcz, an associate professor at the University of Minnesota Law School.

While policies are typically written to adhere to an industry standard [known as an HO3 insurance policy], many companies now have tweaked language, often with the aim of reducing homeowner coverage, says Schwarcz, whose research on insurance policies will be published later this year in the University of Chicago Law Review.

In some instances, however, insurers have enhanced coverage, adds Schwarcz.

His research has ignited its own storm, especially since Schwarcz contends that many consumers aren't made aware of coverage limits.

It's to the consumer's benefit that policies vary, says Robert Hartwig, chief economist at the Insurance Information Institute. Differences "offer a lot of choice" to homeowners in what they want covered and what they want to pay, he says.

Savvy consumers, continues Hartwig, should request and read a policy before purchasing it.

Any good agent, whether he works for one insurance company or is an independent agent representing several firms, should not subscribe to the myth that homeowners' policies are standard, contends David Snyder, vice president and associate general counsel for the American Insurance Association.

Policies continually are reviewed by state regulators and change to comply

with recent laws, adds Snyder. Expect to have a conversation with an agent, he suggests, about what your home may be particularly at risk for: Do you have a lot of old trees, for instance? Or is your home in a high crime area?

Still, the finer points of the fine print can be confusing. Here, expert tips on some key verbiage to study: Covering Undercover Mold Standard homeowner policies don't pay for removal or damage of visible mold, says Schwarcz. But when mold is hidden, within walls, floors, or ceilings and grew out of an accidental discharge or overflow of water or steam, it's been standard for insurers to pay, he adds.

Now, some companies are excluding any mold-related loss or are imposing payout limits, Schwarcz says.

Protection From Collapse Policies typically contain text outlining basic coverage and then list additional coverages. "Look for a table of contents," suggests Schwarcz. Typically, any additional coverage covers collapse caused by a peril — like a tree that falls on the house. Some companies, he adds, are limiting this provision by eliminating coverage for collapse caused by hidden decay or animal damage.

Costs for Rebuilding Say, for example, that you buy a home built in 1980, and the current value of your kitchen is $40,000.

If your kitchen is destroyed by fire, it may cost more than $40,000 to rebuild, especially if building codes now require different features from when it was constructed.

It's fairly standard for policies to offer 10 percent more for rebuilding, so that if the current value is $40,000, $44,000 would be available.

"Particularly if your home isn't new and up to code, you may want to make sure that your policy protects you from increased rebuilding costs that are the result of the need to comply with laws or ordinances and that the amount available for such costs is "additional insurance" that is at least 10 percent of your policy limits," concludes Schwarcz.

Blasts from the past: Recalling the Great New England Hurricane of 1938

BY TOM EASTMAN THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — As New England braces for Hurricane Irene's expected arrival on Sunday, those who

remember such things are bringing up other hurricanes that have hit the region — most notably, the Hurricane of 1938, known as the Great New England Hurricane, the Yankee Clipper, or the Long Island Express.

According to the on-line encyclopedia, Wikipedia, the 1938 hurricane was the first major hurricane to strike New England since 1869.

Wind gusts reached Category 5 strength in eastern Connecticut, Rhode Island and southern Massachusetts west of Buzzards Bay and Cape Cod, according to that on-line encyclopedia. The anemometer at the Blue Hill Observatory registered a peak wind gust of 186 mph before the instrument broke.

(Category 1 storms have wind speeds of 74 to 95 mph; Category 2 have wind speeds of 96 to 110; Category 3 storms are 111 to 130 mph; Category 4, 131 to 155 mph; and Category 5, above 155 mph.)

The hurricane lost strength as it tracked into interior areas of New England, but it is believed to have been at Category 2 intensity as it crossed into Vermont and at minimal Category 1 intensity as it tracked into Quebec.

The storm formed near the coast of Africa in September of the 1938 Atlantic hurricane season, becoming a Category 5 hurricane on the SaffirSimpson Hurricane Scale before making landfall as a Category 3 hurricane on Long Island on Sept. 21.

The hurricane was estimated to have killed between 682 and 800 people, damaged or destroyed over 57,000 homes, and caused property losses estimated at $306 million ($4.77 billion in 2011 dollars).

Wikipedia says that though the 1938 storm center tracked farther west through Vermont, New Hampshire received appreciable damage.

As in Vermont, very high winds brought down numerous trees and power lines, but rainfall totals in New Hampshire were significantly less than those in other states.

Only one inch of rain fell in Concord. But damage at Peterborough was worse; total damage there was stated to be $500,000 (1938 U.S. dollars, $6.5 million 2005 U.S. dollars), which included the destruction of 10 bridges. Much of the lower downtown burned because floodwaters prevented firefighters from reaching and extinguishing the blaze.

Other communities also suffered considerable damage to forest resources.

In New Hampshire, 13 people perished. At the Mount Washington Observatory, peak 5-minute sustained winds reached 136 mph.

Even as late as 1951, damaged trees and buildings were still seen in the affected areas.

“That hurricane came up and crossed over Long Island before moving over Connecticut. It moved very quickly, and it was really damaging because in those days, people did not have the kind of forecasting that we do now, so they didn't know it was coming and then it was too late,” said Dr. Mary Stampone, assistant professor of geography at the University of New Hampshire and the New Hampshire state climatologist, in an interview Friday, two days prior to Irene's expected arrival, a day that saw blue skies over much of New Hampshire.

She said Irene is not expected to follow the same track as the 1938 storm. She said it also is expected to be a Category 1 storm that will likely lessen in force as it moves inland.

“They do expect that as it comes ashore as a Category 1, it will weaken as it moves across New England and that it will end up being of tropical storm force — that is typically what we see when these storms wind up here,” said Stampone.

She said New England averages one hurricane per decade. The 20th century saw eight hurricanes making landfall in New England, with the 1938 storm making landfall as a major hurricane, as was Hurricane Carol, which followed it 16 years later.

Other recent hurricanes to hit New England include September 1985's Gloria, a strong Category 1 storm; August 1991's Hurricane Bob, a Category 2 storm; and September 1999's Hurricane Floyd. see 1938 page 20
