(NY Times) — Shifting dark streaks on the surface of Mars are signs that water is flowing there today, scientists said Thursday. The possible presence of liquid water is certain to revive speculation that Mars is teeming with microbial organisms. The recipe for life, at least as we know it, calls for liquid water, carbonbased molecules and a source for energy. There is plenty of ice on Mars, but the chemical reactions for life come to a halt when water freezes. High-resolution photographs taken by NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, which arrived at Mars in 2006, show fingerlike streaks up to five yards wide that appear on some steep slopes in the planet’s late spring. These streaks grow and shift through summer, reaching hundreds of yards in length before they fade in winter. One crater had about 1,000 streaks. But finding streaks is not the same as finding water. An instrument on the Mars orbiter capable of detecting water has not found any, but that might just mean that the amount of water in the flows is too little to be seen. “We have this circumstantial evidence for water flowing on Mars,” Alfred S. McEwen of the University of Arizona, who is the principal investigator for the camera, said Thursday during a news conference. “We have no direct detection of water.”

(NY Times) — Stock indexes on Wall Street bounced around like a yo-yo on Friday, a day after they lost 4 percent of their value. After a quick sigh of relief on better-than-expected jobs numbers at the opening, Wall Street moved lower as fears continued

to hang over markets that the United States and Europe were not doing enough to counter their economic problems. But then stocks moved up after indications that high-level conversations among European leaders were making progress in

Syria says it has ended revolt BEIRUT, Lebanon (NY Times) — Syria’s state media broadcast stark images of the destruction in the besieged city of Hama for the first time on Friday, showing burnt buildings, makeshift barricades and deserted streets strewn with rubble, in footage that appeared designed to show that government forces had put down a rebellion in the city. The images were unmistakably Hama, Syria’s fourth-largest city and a focal point of the fivemonth-old uprising that has left President Bashar al-Assad’s leadership isolated and weakened.

They suggested the military had retaken control of a city that, for two months, had wrested itself from under the government and enjoyed a measure of freedom unprecedented in four decades of authoritarian rule by the Assad family. The reports by Syrian television and Sana, the official news agency, portrayed the army as Hama’s savior. The news appeared aimed at reinforcing the leadership’s message to internal opponents that they are regarded as armed insurrectionist gangs inspired by hostile foreign powers and will be dealt with accordingly.

NEW ORLEANS (NY Times) — In a verdict that brought a close to a case that has haunted and horrified this city since most of it lay underwater nearly six years ago, five current and former New Orleans police officers were found guilty on all counts by a federal jury on Friday for shooting six citizens, two of whom died, and orchestrating a wide-ranging cover-up in the hours, weeks and years that followed. The defendants were convicted on 25 counts, including federal civil rights violations, for the violence and deception that began on the Danziger Bridge in eastern New Orleans on Sept 4. 2005, just days after Hurricane Katrina hit. “The officers convicted today abused their power and violated the public’s trust during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina – exacerbating one of the most devastating times for the people of New Orleans,” said Attorney General Eric Holder in a statement.

Passionate about 150 years of taking the ‘Road to the Sky’ BY TOM EASTMAN THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

PINKHAM NOTCH — It's been a good 150th celebratory year for Mount Washington Auto Road president Howie Wemyss, a White Mountain history enthusiast who has been at his post since 1987, and who was a stage driver prior to that, dating back to the late 1970s. The following interview took place on the eve of the Auto Road's 150th anniversary Victorian-themed gala, set to be held Saturday, Aug. 6, beginning at 5:30 p.m. Q: Has the 150th anniversary celebration season met your expectations? HOWIE WEMYSS: When we started planning this 150th anniversary three years ago, the idea was to make it a big deal, because not a lot of companies are in business doing the same thing for 150 years. (The four families that own the Auto Road are descendants of the Libby family, the first owners.) We have a very diverse user group, as people come here to the road for a variety of different reasons, so we wanted to have events that would appeal to these people who have had some connection to the road all these years. First off was shoveling the road in April at Cragway the way they used to do it — it turned out to be a fabulous experience, as it gave people an

opportunity to re-create these historic photo images of the old days that we had. That was followed by the Alton Weagle Days, which definitely were tongue-in-cheek about unusual ascents of the road, but because it was goofy, it got a lot of interest and a lot of wacky firsts. Then we brought back the car race after a 10-year hiatus — the first race was held in 1904 on the road, so it's one of the oldest motorsports events in the country. And, we hosted the horse and carriage weekend, in which horses reached the summit for the first time in 50 years, since the centennial. Looking ahead, we've got a Roaring '20s casino event toward the end of August as a fund-raiser for M&D Productions. In September, we're bringing back the Muster in the Mountains militia encampment for the first time in 15 years. Plus, we've done our usual races in between. It's been a busy summer. Q: How many people travel to the summit via the Auto Road each year? WEMYSS: Whether driving their own cars or traveling in our stage vans, we get 120,000 people each year. In recent years, we have updated our CD which gives those driving in their vehicles a guided tour. It's pretty entertaining and people really enjoy it.

Adventure racer Sari Anderson enters Mt. Washington Bike Race

PINKHAM NOTCH — Sari Anderson, a multi-sport endurance athlete who has excelled in ultra-long distance races in locales as diverse as Chamonix, in the Alps, and Abu Dhabi in the Middle East, will compete for the first time this summer in the Mt. Washington Auto Road Bicycle Hillclimb on Aug. 20. Anderson, 32, of Carbondale, Colorado, will challenge defending champion Marti Shea and the rest of the women in the Hillclimb field – just one week after competing in a 100-mile mountain bike race in the Rockies. A former high school hockey player in Rhode Island who attended the University of Colorado and works part-time as the business manager of a plumbing business in Carbondale, Anderson entered the world of endurance racing when she was invited to compete on adventure-racing teams.

So far in 2011, Anderson has won several ski mountaineering races in Colorado and the Sage Burner 50K Trail Run in Gunnison, Colo. She finished second in the U.S. National Ski Mountaineering Championship in Jackson Hole, Wyo., and in the Teva Mountain Games Ultimate Mountain Challenge in Vail, Colo. Although nearly all her cycling races have been in mountain biking, she entered the Megeve- Mont Blanc 133 km. road race this year in the French Alps and finished third. One week before the Mt. Washington Auto Road Bicycle Hillclimb, she will compete in the Leadville (Colorado) 100mile mountain bike race. Anderson comes to Mt. Washington to try something new, a decision made easier by the fact that the Hillclimb is sponsored in part by Polartec.

Washington will be not only her relative inexperience in road biking but also the relative shortness and steepness of the Hillclimb. “I know it’s very steep,” she said this week. “I figure it’ll be like other mountain races, only it’ll hurt about 10 times as much!” She recognizes that, racing the Hillclimb just a week after the Leadville 100, she may be tired, but she hopes

to win anyway. “I’ve been training with less quantity but more quality,” she said, “and I’ve been doing more interval training.” The interval training should serve her well in this race, where deep endurance is less crucial than in a 100-mile race, and where the outcome rests more on a rider’s ability to maintain an intense level of effort for an hour.

Shea’s winning time in Newton’s Revenge last month, one hour 4 minutes 12 seconds, was her best time ever for the all-uphill race – despite having been blown off her bike, near the finish, by the notorious Mt. Washington winds.

What can be done to address the drug problem in Mount Washington Valley? Drugs have become a "pervasive problem" in Mount Washington Valley, says Conway police Lt. Chris Perley. Some say the problem has been around for a long time but is just becoming more obvious. Drugs are not far from many of the crimes in the valley, including the murder this spring of Krista Dittmeyer. Two of the men accused in that murder had allegedly plotted to steal Dittmeyer's drugs and money. The suspect in an armed robbery at Jonathon's Seafood was picked up at a house where drugs were prevalent. Perley says the "foundation" of the problem is a decline in resources and state services. Treatment programs for people with substance-abuse problems are suffering from budget cuts, he said, and more people are falling through the cracks.

Off the Wall Some of the comments posted on The Conway Daily Sun’s Facebook page this past week: Former president of the Kennett High boosters club is trying to persuade Conway School Board to fund a fifth football coaching position: “I think we have plenty of coaches.” — Alex Lyman “Really? In this economy — five football coaches? Let’s teach our kids to spell, capitalize and punctuate first. How about a second language? Their first language? Reading?” — Janet Taylor McConnell “After-school activities are vital to our children, especially in this day and age. Whether you’re in the band, dance, theater, or football — all of these teach crucial life skills. Sports teach discipline, responsibility, endurance, time management, and respect (to name a few). For some kids, scoring a goal or a touchdown or winning a race may be the proudest moment of their life. It’s time to support the kids in this community and the sports they play — and support the coaches that make it all possible.” — Julie James “I do not think that anyone is down playing the importance of after-school activities, or sports, or the arts, but something has got to give. These kids are graduating who are barely able to read and write. Five paid coaches? Really? I’d much rather see the money spent strengthening a good solid vocational program that teaches kids how to stick around here should they choose and make a good living. It’s time time buckle down and stop coddling these children.” — Russ Davis “Maybe drop another three football coaches and put the money towards REAL education.” — Larry Nash Are we heading toward another recession? “We got out of the first one?” — Jackie Ellis

“We have been in a recession. It’s just getting worse! The trend I see, gas prices went down, we started climbing out of the recession. Gas prices are going back up, the recession is getting worse.” — Nicole Wilmot Glencross “It is not a recession, it is the decline and fall of the United States. We haven’t been financially reasonable and responsible either as a nation or as individuals for decades. We are just so arrogant as to think it can’t happen to us. A consumer-based economy crashes when nothing is created within itself to be consumed. We can’t shop our way out of this because we shopped our way into it.” — Brian Gillette The drug problem in the Mount Washington Valley: “It’s not a new problem in the slightest. People just didn’t always know because it wasn’t in their face.” — Bob Ferreira “People like to think the Conway, North Conway area as a little bedroom community with no social or drug problems. Welcome to the real world, People go crazy over a robbery at a local restaurant; this is is an everyday occurrence in places like Manchester. and Nashua. The ills of the southern part of the state are coming north. Face reality before it’s too late, you people who want to keep the area a vacation destination!” — Jack Heggarty “I said this before when that rehab clinic wanted to open up and people didn’t want it because they said it would draw drug users in. The guy who wanted to open it is a businessman, he would have done the research and not have picked the North Conway area if there hadn’t been a ‘market’ for a rehab!” — Leann Brown Muzerall “Problem is the doctors hand out these drugs like candy.” — Anna Peare

IN REVIEW NATIONAL PERSPECTIVE

Iowa vs. New Hampshire PORTSMOUTH, N.H. — April is not the cruelest month, August is. It was August when the military machinery of two world wars cranked into gear, August when Germany and Soviet Russia signed their pact of cynicism and militarism, August when the bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, when the Tonkin Gulf resolution was passed, when the tanks moved into Czechoslovakia, when Iraq invaded Kuwait, when President Bill Clinton faced the nation with an awful truth he thought he had hidden. And so we began this month with the follies in Washington and continue this week with the follies of Ames. The debt-ceiling episode in Washington, unworthy of the American people, is one of those historical markers whose meaning will become clear only as the years pass. Both sides turned a debate about nothing into a debate about everything, and in the course of doing so alienated everybody. The result is that the 2012 election, 15 months away, is now seen as the crucible of decision, and it is sadly fitting that its first test is Saturday in Ames, Iowa, where Republicans are holding a straw poll, which also means nothing but somehow will be interpreted to mean something, if not everything. The Iowa Straw Poll, held on the baking plains in the oven-heat of summer, is even less democratic than the Iowa caucuses, which usually occur on the coldest night of the year. It is an event where issues are barely spoken but displays of political power — none of which has anything to do with the budget deficit, the debate about taxes, the future of entitlements, the role of American power in the world or the fate of democracy around the globe — are rewarded. If you doubt the lack of soundness and sense inherent in this event, let me remind you that the Rev. Pat Robertson won this spectacle in 1987 and that Sen. Phil Gramm tied for the lead in 1995. Such worthy figures as Sen. Lamar Alexander and Sen. Elizabeth H. Dole dropped out of the GOP race after poor showings in this event, which is a tractor pull for policy wonks. This year's straw poll comes amid an especially silly season — but a soberly serious juncture — in the Republican presidential race. It has begun to heat up in Iowa, which likely will hold its caucuses in early February, and here in New Hampshire, which likely will hold the first primaries eight days later. Already the contests in Iowa and New Hampshire have taken on unusually distinct characteristics, though there have been tinges of this in the past. In the 1988 Democratic race, Iowa was about protectionism and New Hampshire was about competence in governance. In the Republican race, Iowa was about faith and family values and New Hampshire was about job creation. But the gulf between the Iowa and New Hampshire contests has never been as great as it is this time. Iowa is about abortion and fealty to a new Republican ideal of conservatism that melds social issues with ferocious fiscal discipline. New Hampshire, days later, reacts to Iowa -- and so it is about whether the tea party impulses that are so strong in Iowa will resonate here and whether the verities of old New England conservatism (thrift, rectitude,

David Shribman

even such nonpolitical elements as modesty and character) still have a place in a state that is swiftly becoming suburbanized and in a country that seems determined to remain polarized. As Washington burned last week, Republicans here in New Hampshire were conferring quietly by telephone with Gov. Rick Perry of Texas — he was 40 minutes on the horn with freshman U.S. Sen. Kelly Ayotte, according to one account — and debating whether former Gov. Mitt Romney of Massachusetts was a wiz or a dud as a job creator during his years as governor between 2003 and 2007. This tells us that as Iowa leans toward its Saturday appointment with pointlessness, the race in New Hampshire has yet to take shape. The principles are there -- Obama is a disaster and the national economy is still in the doldrums, despite a state unemployment rate that is unusually low, around 5 percent — but the principals are not. It's not that anyone here is pining for former Gov. Sarah Palin — she attracts remarkably little interest in New Hampshire — or even that desperate for Perry, who as a Texan is the very definition of an alien to these parts, to join the fray. It's simply that it will likely boil down to a struggle between Romney, who owns a vacation home here, and whoever is selected by Iowa. The big unknown is the character of the electorate in this state, where independents can vote in the Republican primary. Will Republican regulars line up with Romney for his familiarity, his dependability, his acceptability? Or will they look at Romney as an opportunist drawn to the center, or even the left, by the poisoned political atmosphere of Massachusetts and then drawn to the center, or really the right, by his sense that that's where the votes are in Republican primaries? Or will they gravitate to the new, untested and unsullied philosophers of the tea party right and embrace, as their Democratic rivals did in 2008 when they salvaged Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign, a tough-talking woman, Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota? Will the independents, some of whom voted for Ralph Nader in 2000 and helped deny Al Gore the presidency, play the cerebral game of sabotaging the Republicans by voting for the most moderate contender in the race, probably former Gov. Jon Huntsman of Utah, or play the more cynical game of sabotaging the Republicans by voting for the most strident Republican in the field, probably Bachmann, whose intelligence and intensity they underestimate and whom they think Obama would defeat easily? But what is lingering in the brisk air of a New Hampshire summer is the possibility that Iowa's straw poll and its caucuses will send Bachmann, whose style and rhetoric are smoking hot, to face off against Romney, whose style and rhetoric are Utah and Winnipesaukee cool. Which brings us to the final question of a Granite State August, posed as Iowa prepares for its test of strength in straw: Could this be the gravest, greatest New Hampshire primary ever? David M.

Words spelled according to their sound To the editor: I know this sounds a bit petty but many years ago when I went to school I learned to read and write the English language phonetically and have been noticing lately that a great many words are spelled according to their sound rather than they should be, case in point mainly “their, there and they’re.” I know when I use or spell the wrong word my spell check readily blossoms up when I misspell things. With tongue in cheek I have written the following “story” using sum of those words along with a few others and wondered if you would let me make a fool of myself by being an “old fashioned” kid (eighty years young) after seeing some of the letters to the editor with the errors and wondered if

they were original or yours and whether you would print it in your paper or not. We two boys rode to the beech on our bicycles two sea the to weather boys flowting they’re on the see. On the way they’re we passed a cuple of beach trees their on our write. On the way home we found a pear of cookwear pots buy the rode just the rite size to ware for helmets. As we peddled home we spotted cookwear pedalers and asked if the cookwear were theres and they ansered yes. He gave us some of munny to by sum ice cream on the way for picking them up. We are going to right a stowry about the trip when we get home for the class to reed. Thank you for humoring an old fogy. Arthur E. Hale Conway

The road to the sky turns 150 BY TOM EASTMAN THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

PINKHAM NOTCH — Colorful 19thcentury circus showman P.T. Barnum was a lucky guy. Not only did he have success in the world of entertainment, he had a clear day on one of the several days when he reached the summit of Mount Washington — always a rarity, given the 6,288-foot mountain’s notorious weather, which is said to be cloud-covered 60 percent of any given year and which is “Home to the World’s Worst Weather!” Barnum was reportedly so impressed, he hailed the view as “the second greatest show on Earth!” Visitors today would have to agree. Mount Washington today remains the focal point of the region, and is home to a summit weather observatory, the Tip Top House, Mount Washington State Park and the Mount Washington Summit Museum. see next page

Other than hiking or by taking the Mount Washington Cog Railway, one of the ways to get to the summit to enjoy that view — at least since 1861 — has been by going up the nearly eight-mile-long Mount Washington Carriage Road, now known as the Mount Washington Auto Road. To celebrate the 150th anniversary of the “Road to the Sky,” the Mount Washington Auto Road is presenting a gala anniversary weekend this Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 6-7, with an official birthday celebration Monday, Aug. 8. “It will truly be history in the making this weekend at the Mount Washington Auto Road. There is an

inescapable sense of history that is part of being in this part of New Hampshire. We hope anyone who is interested will join us for this once-ina-lifetime celebration,” said Howie Wemyss, general manager for the Auto Road. History of the Road The history of Mount Washington’s road began in the wheat fields of Canada. There were huge crops to be shipped out in winter, but there was no ice-free seaport available. So, a railroad line was built from Montreal to Portland in 1851. It passed through Gorham and opened up the east side of the White Mountains to the tourist trade. see next page

AUCTION

1470 ROUTE 16, CONWAY, NH 03818

In 1850, the railroad had paid for rebuilding the road from Gorham into Pinkham Notch. Further, the railroad financed the construction of the Glen Bridle Path to the summit of Mount Washington and started its own Alpine House Hotel in Gorham – one of the many fine hotelries of the Grand Age of Hotels. It was a busy time. The first Glen House, at the foot of the Road, was completed in 1852 — tyhe same year that the first Summit House was built on Mount Washington. (There have been two other Summit Houses since.) The Tip Top House, still standing, was erected in 1853, and in that year, the New Hampshire State Legislature granted Gen. David O Macomber of Middletown, Conn., the charter for the Mount Washington Road Company. The grand plan envisioned horsedrawn omnibuses on the road, a massive hotel and observatory. Not all that came about, but work on the road began in the summer of 1854. Tremendous undertaking Building the road was an enormous task. The nearest source of supplies was eight miles away, and all transportation was by horse, oxen or on the backs of men. Dynamite was unknown. Black powder was the explosive, and blasting holes were all drilled by hand. There was no machinery to handle the countless tons of rock and gravel that had to be moved. Even in Mount Washington’s bad weather, laborers worked 10 to 12 hours a day and lived in primitive shanties or tents. Work progressed until the fall of 1856, when the halfway point was reached. Then money ran out, and the effort was halted. But, a new company, the present Mount Washington Summit Road Company, was formed in 1859. The next year, work resumed, and the first tolls were collected for passage to the Halfway House. The gala opening of the road to the summit took place on Aug. 8, 1861, with many local dignitaries arriving at the summit in a Concord Coach. But, the honor of driving the first horse-drawn vehicle to the summit went to Col. Joseph Thompson, then proprietor of the Glen House. To be sure of beating out his friendly

rival, Col. John Hitchcock, landlord of the Alpine House, Thompson drove his horse and carriage to the summit three weeks before the official opening. The last few yards were still so strewn with boulders that help was needed to keep the carriage upright, but he made it. And, he saw to it that a photographer was there. Road competition After the road was opened to the public, its business doubled every year until 1869. That year, the Cog Railway was completed, on the west side of the mountain; and many found the relatively short trip and enclosed cars preferable to an all-day journey on the road in open mountain wagons. Road management responded by building the Stage Office at the summit to lure Cog passengers down to the Glen House from which they traveled to the railroad station by six-horse tally-ho, and took the train back to where they started in Crawford Notch. Still, for years the Cog Railway carried many more passengers than the road, and it took an unexpected new development to turn the tables: the motorcar. The automobile age The very first motorized ascent was by Freelan O. Stanley, of Stanley Steamer fame, in 1899. More steam-powered ascents came during the next three years, and then in 1902, the first two gasoline-powered cars reached the summit. Clearly, the automobile age had begun on the road, despite sometimesstrident criticism. In 1912, the first motorized stage appeared, a secondhand Thomas Flyer. Since then, except when gasoline shortages intervened, the history has been one of steady growth: 3,100 private cars in 1935, 6,600 in 1955 and 12,800 in the road’s 100th anniversary year, 1961. In recent years, more than 45,000 vehicles have driven the Auto Road each year. The Auto Road’s sister establishment, Great Glen Trails Outdoor Center, in winter operates SnowCoach rides to the halfway mark. Visitors in summer may take a chauffeured stage van, or drive their own vehicle to the “Top of New England” to take in the view — where they can judge whether P.T. Barnum was right about it being “the second greatest show on Earth!”

Gala anniversary this weekend caps 150th celebrations BY TOM EASTMAN THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

The Mount Washington Auto Road’s gala anniversary weekend kicked off on Friday, Aug. 5, with the Mount Washington Valley Old Car Club Cruise Night at the base of the Auto Road from 5 to 8 p.m. The celebration continues Saturday, Aug. 6, with the Sesquicentennial Gala, beginning at 5:30 p.m. The event will be a Victorian-themed evening that will include an elegant dinner, champagne toast, music, dancing, custom birthday cakes, a time travel presentation with 17th century Mount Washington summiter Darby Field and fireworks. Guests are requested to wear vintage or formal attire. Tickets are $125 per couple or $65 per person. The Mount Washington Auto Road crew reunion is set for Sunday, Aug. 7, from noon to 7 p.m. All past and present employees of the company are welcomed to reminisce and enjoy a complimentary trip up the Auto Road. The Banks Gallery of Portsmouth will open its new White Mountain Art exhibit from 1:30 to 7 p.m. At 7 p.m., the public is invited to a showing of “Brush and Pen,” a new documentary about the rich history of artists and writers in the White Mountains. Monday, Aug. 8, is an all-day birthday celebration. Any car that arrives with a “This Car Climbed Mount Washington” sticker permanently attached to its bumper will get free passage on the Auto Road (vehicle limitations apply). In addition, the U.S. Postal Service will be on hand to issue a one-day-only commemorative pictorial postmark to

celebrate the occasion. A display of vintage and antique vehicles will also be on public view. ••• The “Road to the Sky’s” year-long 150th anniversary celebration was launched on New Year’s Eve with a spectacular fireworks display at the base of the Auto Road at the road’s sister establishment, Great Glen Trails Outdoor Center, home to a 45-kilometer cross-country ski and snowshoe network of trails in winter that in summer are used for mountain biking and trail running. Energetic shovelers in April got to experience some of the old-fashioned ways that the road crews used to clear the road of snow. Auto Road enthusiasts of all ages took part in the “Road to the Sky’s” “Alton Weagle Day” May 28, during which people figured out alternative ways to travel the road to reach the summit, including going by unicycle, driving backwards, going barefoot and pushing a wheelbarrow full of sugar. The summer schedule of festivities has included the return after a 10-year hiatus this past June of the “Climb to the Clouds” automobile hillclimb, during which rally car champion David Higgins of the Isle of Man set a new record of 6 minutes and 11.54 seconds, driving his 2011 Subaru Impreza WRX STI to the fogshrouded top to shatter the old mark of 6:41.99 set by Canadian driver Frank Sprongl in an Audi S2 in 1998. An Old Home Day was featured July 2, featuring old-fashioned games. That event was followed by a Carriage and Horses Only Weekend, July 16 and 17. see next page

Tragedy on the road

Page 18 — THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Saturday, August 6, 2011

BY TOM EASTMAN THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

Tragedy has struck the Mount Washington Auto Road three times, according to Howie Wemyss, the road’s general manager, who underscored that the road has had a strong safety record over the past 150 years. “The first was in 1880,” says Wemyss, an avid history buff. “It was a sad story. A stage driver was thought to be drunk at the summit, so his passengers refused to get back on his stage. They walked back down the road to halfway. The stage driver was waiting for them as he taken the wagon down ahead. He convinced them he was fine, so they

Upcoming planned events for the 150th anniversary season after this weekend’s activities include: • Aug. 20: Mount Washington Auto Road Bicycle Hillclimb: The original bicycle hillclimb up the Mount Washington Auto Road and fund-raiser for Tin Mountain Conservation Center. www.MWARBH.org • Aug. 27: Roaring ‘20s Evening: A recreation of a 1920s speakeasy, this casino night at the base of the mountain will be a fund-raiser for M&D Productions.

climbed on board. Within a mile, he lost control, and they toppled over, killing one passenger.” The second fatality involved a Jeep in 1984 which lost its brakes coming down the road. The driver believed he could continue on and stay on the road, says Wemyss, but he lost control near the bottom and his passenger was killed. The third was two years ago, when a motorcyclist lost his brakes on the way down, 2.25 miles from the base and was killed. All motorists are advised on how to safely negotiate the road by personnel before setting off. For more information, call 466-3988 or visit www. mtwashingtonautoroad.com.

• Aug. 28: Sunrise Drive: An opportunity for guests to view the sunrise from the summit of Mount Washington. The road will open early for guests to drive themselves. • Sept. 9-11: Muster in the Mountains: A colonial encampment of reenactors will recreate life in North America from 1750 through 1840. Participants will demonstrate the use of appropriate tools, clothing, and firearms from this time period. Saturday will feature a mock battle. For more information, visit www.

the observatory on the summit to see just what form that precipitation is falling as — whether as rain or freezing rain or snow. In spring and fall, it becomes especially important, when you start to get freezing events that come and go without warning. Q: Do you ever close for the day due to the weather? WEMYSS: There are parameters that come up that cause us to operate in partial fashion to halfway. It's a little unusual to ever have to do that in July or August, but it sometimes happens. When it's windy on the summit, because of the way the mountain lies, it frequently means that the winds are also high at halfway, so when that happens, we do have to close altogether. But early or late in the season, when there is icing on the summit, we can frequently operate above treeline past halfway and be perfectly safe. Q: It’s possible to get snow every month of the year on Mount Washington. How do your crews maintain the road, dealing with those challenges? WEMYSS: There are four or five temperate zones that you pass through on your way to the summit. When you arrive at the summit, it's like what you would see in northern Labrador. It's like traveling to the Arctic circle. The maintenance job is really about erosion control: We try and get the ditches stabilized, one way or another, so the water will run down to the ditch.

It has gotten easier with the addition of pavement up there (the road is now 87 percent paved — we have about a mile left to go, with the unpaved area being between 5.5 and 6.5 miles on the 8-mile long road). We have a five-person crew throughout most of the summer season. They do more than road maintenance, as they also help us set up for the road races and other special events that we are involved in. In July and August, it's heavy traffic, so it's impossible to be up there and doing anything meaningful during the busiest parts of the day, but we are up there early morning and on lighter traffic days. We do some work at night, when we do culvert replacements. Q: The mountain is cloudy something like 60 percent of the year. Are people disappointed when they don’t get a clear day for their visit? WEMYSS: People frequently focus on the clear days up here. But we actually have pretty good success of pointing out to people that there are a lot of ways they can have a good time even if you don't have those 100-mile views, which are infrequent and you have to be lucky. There is so much going on — they can take their kids to the summit observatory deck [of the Sherman Adams building], where the wind can be blowing 50 mph and they can be standing in the fog, laughing and screaming. They'll remember that better than the 100-mile views. For more information, call 466-3988 or visit mtwashingtonautoroad.com.

hard to believe, considering its height above the water. The Wild River was aptly named. At the junction, we turned right on the dirt Wild River Road. There is always a special feeling heading down this 5.5 mile road into the Wild River Wilderness, with the river only a short distance in the woods on the right side of the road. Most hikers drive to the end, and park in the lot next to the Wild River Campground. But we were looking for the sign on the right for the Shelburne Trail, located on the road about a half mile before the campground. At that point Carl and I would walk down to the river, wade across, and connect with the Highwater Trail, which passed through a few hundred feet up the Shelborne Trail on the other side (the Shelborne Trail itself continued uphill, climbing steeply towards the summit of Mount Shelburne Moriah (3,735 feet). Then, we would walk 5.2 miles down the Highwater Trail, and at its terminus, cross the suspension bridge we had seen earlier out at Hastings. While we were hiking, Joan would drive back out to Route 2, head further into Maine and spend some time in the quaint town of Bethel, Maine. She would pick us up later — in about 4.5 hours — in Hastings. From the road it was a two minute walk to the river. Joan watched Carl and I cross. It was as about as low as it gets, though, since it drains a large watershed, there was still a good current. After crossing, I threw

our rubber water shoes back across to Joan. We put on our hiking boots and headed out. We followed a few cairns into the woods, soon reached a junction with the Highwater Trail, and north turned on it. The rest of the way was relaxing and dream-like. The trail wound through the woods above the high bank, often approaching the edge, where there was inevitably a great view of the river, the forest on the other shore, occasional mountains reaching above it, and cottony cumulus in a turquoise sky. We climbed down to the rocky shore for lunch next to a section of river that was a wide pool with a glassy surface. Trout crossed my mind often, though I didn’t see any from above. The river is popular with fishermen earlier in the season. After all, the dirt road was only a few dozen feet into the woods on the other shore. A couple times on the hike, a invisible car drove by, and we were reminded of the outer world. For an area that was logged extensively, it was interesting to see many old trees. We passed a few centennial white pines next to the bank. We walked through some old hemlock stands. Though the largest ones were not as wide as the centennial white pines, they were probably older. The trail occasionally followed old logging roads, and at one point even passed a spot where a logging bridge crossed over the river to the Wild River Road. But the forest had quickly regenerated, and we didn’t notice. Often the trail itself was depressed, see next page

Jennifer Karnopp to discuss ‘Family Child Care Basics’ at White Birch Books Sunday CONWAY — August is a busy month at White Birch Books and things kick off with local author Jennifer Karnopp discussing her first book, "Family Child Care Basics: Advice, Activities and Information to Create a Professional Program." The event is on Sunday, Aug. 7, beginning at 3 p.m. and all are welcome. "Family Child Care Basics" is a basic guide to starting and operating a professional child care program in your home. Not just a book for business, though, "Family Child Care Basics" is also a resource for parent, grandparents or anyone working with children as it contains more than 40 pages of activities focusing on topics such as sound and music, math, art and science. "Family Child Care Basics" is Karnopp’s first book and was simulta-

Karnopp is also the owner and curriculum developer for World of Wonder, a company specializing in resource materials and lesson plans for parents, teachers and caregivers of young children. Before beginning World of Wonder, Karnopp taught preschool and elementary children in a variety of traditional and non-traditional learning environments from children’s museums to public schools. She lives with her family in North Conway. White Birch Books is located in North Conway Village just south of the park, across from TD Bank.

intended to reach the end, cross the suspension bridge to the parking lot, get Joan and then retrace my steps with her on the trail back to Carl. I didn’t have to cross the bridge, as she was sitting at the near end of it. We walked back to Carl, then I took off by myself again, to doze in the car until they arrived.

Arts in Motion’s ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ opens Aug. 11 CONWAY — Arts in Motion Theater Company is pleased to present "Jesus Christ Superstar" with music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics by Tim Rice. This riveting show, opening Thursday, Aug. 11., chronicles the last seven days in the life of Jesus, in a politicized, modernized world with driving rock rhythms and lyrical ballads. Songs include "Superstar," "Everything’s Alright" and "I Don’t Know How to Love Him." "Jesus Christ Superstar" is being staged by Glenn Noble and Mary Bastoni-Rebmann, with musical direction by Tracy Gardner, choreography by Holly Fougere and Shannon Reville and video direction by Keith Force. "Arts in Motion is so excited to bring this show to our local audience," said Glenn Noble, production manager. "So many people in the community showed an interest in this right from the start and auditions brought out so

trout. Now, these were not what most anglers would consider trophy trout and few would ever consider fishing for them, however bear in mind that these trout are wild trout and not stocked. That these trout even exist is a minor miracle. This year Tin Mountain was able to add an intern to its staff to help with the project. This young fellow’s name is Chris Powers. In addition to the restoration work, Chris is also deeply involved in a research project studying the insect life in these small streams. Chris is also a dedicated fly fisher and has become a

much talent that we double cast a few of the principal roles." The show's concept is by Gregory Charette, of Raymond, Maine, who has performed and directed professionally throughout the tri-state area for many years. The cast of 30 local actors, singers and dancers includes Rafe Matregrano as Jesus, mother and daughter Holly Reville and Shannon Reville sharing the role of Mary Magdalene, Jahn Deschambeault as Judas, Stacy Sand as King Herod and Paul Allen and Matt Stoker sharing the role of Pontius Pilate. "Jesus Christ Superstar" runs Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, August 11,12, 13, and 14 and 18, 19, 20 and 21. All shows are at 7 p.m. at Loynd Auditorium at Kennett High School. Tickets are $15 for adults, $12 for students and seniors and may be purchased online at www. artsinmotiontheater.com or at the door any night of the show.

Anyone interested in volunteering some time to this project should call Tin Mountain for more information. This is real chainsaw and wood hauling work so be sure you know what your getting into. The reward would be knowing that you have added to the survival of the last of New Hampshire’s wild trout population. See you on the river.

Fred Garbo Inflatable Theater at Leura Hill Eastman Performing Arts Center Aug. 10 FRYEBURG, Maine — The Leura Hill Eastman Performing Arts Center at Fryeburg Academy in Fryeburg, Maine closes their summer 2011 family entertainment series with the fantastic feats of the Fred Garbo Inflatable Theater Co. on Wednesday, Aug. 10, at 7:30 p.m. Fast-paced, energetic, universally engaging and theatrically clever, Fred Garbo Inflatable Theater Co. has won the praise and affection of audiences worldwide. They have been seen on the Late Show with David Letterman, at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., on Broadway at the New Victory Theater and on stage and television in Chile, Japan, Ireland and Brazil (just

to mention a few). The concert begins when a 10-foot cylinder slithers onto the stage and implodes, and before long the entire audience is playing catch with gigantic inflatable props. The big blowup shapes shimmer, balloon, deflate and bounce in a rainbow of colors. Fred Garbo and Daielma Santos inhabit this enchanting world with tremendous aplomb and skill. Suddenly, the globulating red cube takes on a life of its own, rolling, gliding, tumbling in synch to the music, right up to the edge of the stage. The audience gasps, and the big block teeters dramatically on the brink, quaking and bulging and

changing shape, then amazing everybody with a hilarious exit. Now the lovely ballerina dances a can-can, but her skirt starts to grow longer and longer, becoming a ball gown, then a balloon engulfing her, finally spiriting heraway. Garbo and Santos mesmerize their audience with imaginative imagery and artistic foolishness. Tickets are $5 for children, $10 for adults and $25 for our “family of 4 value pack” and are available for purchase online at www.fryeburgacademy.org/pac or by calling the Box Office at (207) 935-9232. For more information about the Fred Garbo Inflatable Theater Co. visit fredgarbo.com.

structures. These may include areas around window frames, door frames or eaves. Entry tends to be on the same, warm, sunny side (often the southern or western exposure) of the home’s structure that the flies later emerge from. The flies are a nuisance when they enter our houses to hibernate, because of the large numbers we encounter. They are difficult to eradicate because they favor inaccessible spaces such as roof and wall cavities. They are often seen on windows of little-used rooms, and therefore are sometimes known as “attic flies.” Unlike other flies species, cluster flies only overwinter inside of a structure; they do not breed there. During the fall, winter or spring months, these flies may emerge, particularly on warm, sunny days, as they are thinking that spring has arrived. The flies appear at windows buzzing and "clustering" around such areas to the see next page

dismay of us human occupants, and are especially unwelcome as a phenomenon. They are not known to carry any diseases of medical importance to humans. There may be three to four, or more, generations of cluster flies per season. With the onset of autumn, the current crop of adults will seek protected over-wintering sites in such locations as hedge rows; under the bark of dead and dying trees; in the crevices of southfacing cliffs and rock faces; and within the cracks, crevices and voids in sheds, garages, barns, houses, and other man-made structures. One of the best ways to minimize entry of this pest is by applying a repellent, residual insecticide within a week or two of the time when these insects are known to begin migrating indoors. Within the United States, Cooperative Extension is a good source to check with for

timing information for your immediate region. In other countries, you would have to check with the entomology department of the local university. These residual insecticides are applied outdoors to window frames, door frames, soffits and eaves as well as any other areas that are vulnerable to entry. If one Googles this subject on the Internet, there are various companies supplying this information above and what products they can sell you to deter the sluggish flies from being obnoxious house guests. There are foggers and insecticides, and some probably had best be deployed by a professional pest control company in certain rooms. While the cluster flies are a pest to endure, there is no sense poisoning ourselves on top of that. If numerous flies are entering the living areas of the home, you might attempt to locate the openings where the insects gain access. Typically, flies will emerge from cracks under

or behind baseboards, around window and door trim, and around exhaust fans or lights in ceilings. Sealing these openings with caulk or other suitable materials could prevent the insects from crawling out. However, you already know how permeable your old New Englander is as a house, and probably can’t totally succeed in that endeavor. In some cases, the use of electronic fly traps (light bulbs with a "stun" unit that disables the flies to fall into a glue trap) work. These do require electricity and maintenance, which are not always available in remote homes affected by these flies.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

DILBERT

By Holiday Mathis is another story. Take it slow. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You will be a bit more impulsive than usual and likely to take a chance that you wouldn’t have dared take only a few days ago. The reasons feel far less relevant than the bold feeling inside you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). People are stubborn now, and you won’t be able to force them according to your will. However, a certain amount of hocus-pocus may work to distract them into doing exactly as you prefer. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You will be asked difficult questions by someone you would love to impress. Perhaps there is financial incentive involved. Keep your answers brief and relevant. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You will meet people who love to talk about themselves and also people who won’t open up at all. You have a talent for bringing out the best in both types today. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). In today’s rude cell-phone-centric environment, basic manners will give you an edge. It’s so easy. Don’t use your phone while dining, driving or conversing with others. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (August 6). This year, you’ll increase your breadth of knowledge and your understanding of your subject of study. You’ll be hailed for your intelligence, as well as your ability to relate well to others. September brings transformation. Relationship success leads to a special accomplishment in December. Aquarius and Taurus people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 20, 16, 25 and 18.

Get Fuzzy

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You want to move in exciting circles, so it should come as good news that your own inner circle is the most riveting place to be these days. The action and drama will be nonstop into the weekend. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You are playing a highly competitive game. The winner will be the one who has the advantage of a supportive team. It begs the question: How supportive is your team? GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You will be meeting new people. In some roundabout way, you’ll be asked to give a brief summary of your life thus far. You usually have an answer ready, but lately you find that your story is changing. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You have strong feelings about current issues, and you want to express them. Finding the right forum will be key to maintaining your happiness. Share when you are likely to be in agreement with like minds. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll be once again in a position to entertain others. You’ll also be in a comfortable and adventurous mood, so depart from your usual bag of tricks and develop some new material. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll challenge yourself to fulfill a new role. Stay confident in your abilities. Someone may be more technically qualified than you are, but you are still the best one for the job. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your eye contact signals strength and confidence, which is why someone is irresistibly attracted to you. Whether or not this will be a good relationship for you

Today’s Highlight in History: On Aug. 6, 1961, Soviet cosmonaut Gherman Titov became the second man to orbit Earth as he flew aboard Vostok 2, call sign “Eagle” (hence Titov’s repeated exclamation over the radio, “I am Eagle!”). On this date: In 1806, the Holy Roman Empire went out of existence as Emperor Francis II abdicated. In 1825, Upper Peru became the autonomous republic of Bolivia. In 1890, convicted murderer William Kemmler became the first person to be executed in the electric chair as he was put to death at Auburn State Prison in New York.

Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act. In 1978, Pope Paul VI died at Castel Gandolfo at age 80. In 1986, William J. Schroeder (SHRAY’dur) died after living 620 days with the Jarvik 7 artificial heart. In 1991, the World Wide Web made its public debut as a means of accessing webpages over the Internet. TV newsman Harry Reasoner died in Norwalk, Conn., at age 68. One year ago: In a stunning announcement, Hewlett-Packard Co. said it had ousted CEO Mark Hurd after an investigation of a sexual harassment complaint found that he had falsified expense reports and other documents to conceal a relationship with a contractor.

MAN IS RELUCTANT TO SHOW HIS BABY FACE IN WEDDING PHOTOS

DEAR ABBY: I am a 40-year-old man with a baby face. It makes me appear much younger than I am -- so much so that I have been carded when buying alcohol or lottery tickets. People also seem to relate to me based on the age they perceive me to be. Four months ago I grew a beard, which makes me look more my age. I’m an actor, and in the past audiences had difficulty accepting me in certain roles because of my youthful appearance. My beard solved that problem. My sister-in-law is getting married this summer and insists I shave my beard for the ceremony and wedding photos. I keep it well-groomed, and it gives me more confidence when dealing with people. I don’t want to shave it. My sister-in-law is recovering from cancer, and my wife thinks I’ll look like a jerk if I refuse to comply. I’m not part of the wedding party, but I am the head usher and will be in many of the family photos. Is her request appropriate? My father-in-law has a beard, but he hasn’t been asked to shave it. -- CONFLICTED IN CANADA DEAR CONFLICTED: Your letter reminds me of the ones I have printed about brides who don’t want anyone associated with their wedding to be overweight, tattooed or have an unusual hairdo. They’re so preoccupied with how things will look that they forget there are people, not mannequins or puppets, involved. You should not have to shave your beard in order to be an usher. Offer your sister-in-law a choice: Either you can remain as you are, or she can find someone else to steer her guests to their seats. Do not be confrontational about it. The choice will be hers. DEAR ABBY: You often advise readers who have the time

to reach out and volunteer. There’s a little-known program in every state that was mandated by a 1978 amendment to the “Older Americans Act.” It’s the Long Term Care Ombudsman Program. Its goal is to help assure that long-term care facility residents live harmoniously and with dignity, feeling free to voice complaints or concerns without reprisal. There’s a need nationwide for volunteers to make this program work. The ultimate goal is to have one volunteer in each nursing home. After training is completed, volunteers spend eight to 16 hours a month visiting their assigned nursing homes. They talk with the residents and observe conditions. If there’s a complaint, they take it to their regional ombudsman for resolution. Once residents get to know and trust you, they will share wonderful life stories. Some of them have no one to talk to, no visitors or family. A volunteer ombudsman is the voice for those who have none, and helps to make each community a better place to live for all its residents. The nursing homes like to have volunteer ombudsmen visit their facilities because they want to provide the best care possible for their residents. -- JILL IN VAN BUREN, ARK. DEAR JILL: Forgive me if this seems cynical, but some do and some don’t -- which is exactly why it’s so important that there are trained observers willing to regularly visit nursing home patients to ensure they are properly cared for. Readers, this is important work. If you are interested in volunteering, contact your local social services agency, Department of Aging or search online for the word “ombudsman” and the state in which you reside.

THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Saturday, August 6, 2011— Page 43

First Line Therapy discussion at the T. Murray Wellness Center Aug. 10 CONWAY — A therapeutic lifestyle means living your life in a way that improves your health. It starts with making healthy choices everyday in efforts to live life full of vitality and free of disease. FirstLine Therapy is designed to be an effective way to prevent and treat illnesses on the basis of four main factors. The program includes healthy meal plans, regular exercise, all natural supplements, and stress reduction. If you suffer from cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, Hypertension, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, chronic fatigue, high cholesterol, or altered body composition, FirstLine Therapy can help you. It was designed by a company called Metagenics that used the top nutritional physiologists in the country to treat these diseases naturally and effectively. The fundamentals of the FirstLine Therapy Program are very basic: 1. Knowledge — A healthy lifestyle starts with the knowledge to make informed decisions that impact your health every day. 2. Balanced Eating — Balanced eating habits have a direct influence of excess insulin production, body composition, and disease prevention. 3. Regular activity/exercise — A regular program of aerobic, strength training, and flexibility exercises has been shown to reverse insulin resistance, increase vitality, and reduce the risk of disease.

4. Appropriate nutritional supplementation — Incorporation of a foundational nutrition program with targeted nutrients that help to prevent and/or treat specific conditions is an essential part of a therapeutic lifestyle program. 5. Stress Management — For optimum health, regular stress management programs help to keep insulin and other hormone levels balanced, improving vitality. 6. Sleep — Sleep is crucial for the proper functioning of the mind and body. Quality and depth of sleep is of primary importance. Although the amount of sleep individuals need varies, most people should get from seven to 8 1/2 hours per night. It doesn’t matter if you are old or young, a man or a woman, in great shape, or have never exercised before — this program can help you increase your energy, improve your shape, reduce your health risks, and maximize your overall well-being. FirstLine Therapy is being adopted as an effective tool in the T. Murray Wellness Center, Inc. because of the passion Dr. Trish Murray has for wellness. Together Murray and lifestyle educator Stevi Gelinas will guide you step-by-step to achieve a long, healthy, happy life. Anyone interested in learning more about this program can join in the discussion at 6 p.m., Wednesday, Aug. 10, at T. Murray Wellness Center, at 24 Pleasant St, Conway or call the center at 447-3112.

Mason’s Breakfast Aug. 14 to benefit Gibson Center

We have a resident chipmunk living in the bushes of our front yard. The other morning as I was walking past the front door I spotted my furry friend sitting on the front stairs chomping away on a seed. Upon completing his tiny feast, he hopped on to the landing, jumped up on the bench seat and finally landed on the top newel. He stretched out on the post like a cat, his tail dangling over the edge and simply sat watching the world go by. For that brief, shining moment my furry friend was king of the hill’. There’s a lot going on at the center this month so please be sure to check the upcoming programs. I want to remind everyone that the Masons will be holding a breakfast to benefit the Gibson Center on Sunday morning, Aug. 14. The breakfast will be held at the Masonic Hall in North Conway and I have to say if you haven’t been to one of their breakfasts before, you are in for a real treat. Be sure to mark your calendars and plan to join us. I also want to put out an SOS for Meals on Wheels drivers. Some of our drivers head south for the winter so we really need to fill those spots, especially for our Bartlett and Madison routes. If you can volunteer two or three hours a week and want to give back to your community call 356-3231 and ask for the nutrition department. Have a good week and pray for our troops! Monday, Aug. 8: Chair exercise class begins at 10 a.m. in the activity room. Board the bus for bowling at 12:30 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 9: Belly dancing class begins at 9:30 a.m. in the activity room. Lunch will be served at noon at our Silver Lake meal site today. Board the bus at 10 a.m. for the Songo River Queen trip. Wednesday, Aug. 10: Welcome Mineral Springs!

Stan and I were there with our son and his family (including Dash who we had been dog sitting). Personally, I think the pigs were the big hit of the day. If you missed the event, you can still see the pigs on the farm. My family was quite impressed with the look of the new nursing home as they passed it on the way to the farm.

Valley Green Tips

Melody Nester

Saving your seeds for next year

Every year, I can’t resist buying petunias, peppers and tomatoes. I might pass by the pretty pinks and purples and glorious greens once or twice at the beginning of the season, but inevitably, I’m coming home with petunias, peppers and tomato plants. Because I’m a novice gardener who has had limited time and attention to perfect my art, it never occurred to me until recently that I might save the seed of a particularly pretty petunia flower, to grow it again the next year. I’ve known about tomatoes and peppers having composted pulp and hulls with seeds that bore me surprise plants. Still, I never considered the costsaving and “plant variety preserving” benefits of trying to do this on purpose, until this year. A helpful lady at a garden shop told me about how she saves the seeds of her favorite petunia plants and grows them again the next year. So I tried it, but evidently didn’t properly dry and store the seeds. A moldy mess by spring, I planted it, but to no avail. According to a host of gardening and online sources, saving seeds can be easy so I’m going to try again. “You just need to know a little about the type of plant you’ll be seed-saving with,” sources say. Sounds fresh, but ask yourself: “Is the plant an annual, biennial or perennial? Will the plant self- or cross pollinate?” The answers will affect how you save the seeds. Saving petunia seeds is easy. When the petunia flower production has slowed, seed pods will dry. When you’re sure the pods are as dry as they can get, clip the stems. Open the pods and shake gently or rub the seeds off over something like a pie plate where you can both collect and further dry the seed before putting in small paper bags, labeling the bags and storing in a dry cool place until spring. Pepper seed-saving isn’t much harder. Cut the pepper as you would to eat it, saving the hull with the seeds that you can then hang or place on a plate and turn to dry. When the seeds are dry, you can flake off the seeds, dry some more, then store as described above. Saving tomato seeds requires a vastly different approach. You will cut the tomato at “the equator” center, scoop out the gooey center with seeds and put it in a jar, pour several tablespoons of water on top and cover with a piece of plastic over it that has a small hole punched out to allow for transpiration.

couple of days, stir this goo periodically to help it ferment to protect the seed against disease. When the seeds start to fall off, you should thoroughly rinse and strain the seeds, then dry for several days, turning the seeds periodically. After completely dry, you can now store the seeds. Some people save their seeds in glass or plastic which can work as well as bags so long as the seeds don’t have a drop of moisture. One of our valley gardeners said she finally tried drying seeds for the first time last year with great success, although she did all the super easy ones — pumpkins, sunflowers, acorn squash and butternut squash — just to see if she could do it. She simply spread them out on cookie sheets (rinsed the slime off the squash seeds) and stirred them once or twice until she was sure they were dry. She then stored them in reused bags and labeled them with a sharpie. She stored them in the garage over the winter and they all grew beautifully this year.

REAL ESTATE CORNER

Risks and rewards of buying an investment property BY JASON ROBIE We have all heard or read the facts about why this is such a great time to buy real estate. But if you are not in the market for a new home, how about exploring the possibility of buying a home as an investment. If, after all the facts were in and all the calculating and figuring was done, you could own a piece of real estate while having someone else pay the mortgage, would you do it? I think most of us would say a resounding “Yes!” There are a few more factors to the equation than just the financials, so let’s take a look at a few of them. Time: When I purchased my first investment property it was a two-family home in southern New Hampshire. All was well in the world right up until I got laid off from my job and decided to move to the White Mountains! This is where time became a significant factor in my ownership of this property. Since money was tight, I was “on-call” when anything with the house went wrong. If the boiler stopped “boiling” or the plumbing leaked or a window was broken, etc. I would hop in the truck, tools in tow, and head off on the two-hour drive to repair what was wrong. There were certainly occasions in which I simply made a phone call to get something fixed. I believe strongly that the first step in knowing how to repair anything in your home is to know what you don’t know! Some things are just better left to the professionals. (I can see countless wives nodding their heads in agreement!) The other time-killer for me was interviewing new tenants and showing the property. I am a huge proponent of credit checks and contacting references. (Sure, some folks can put their best buddies on the list for references. But for the most part I found people to be fairly upfront and honest.) Living two hours away certainly made this process a little more time consuming, but most of the work was done over the phone and through e-mail. I also made it a point to schedule all of my weekly showing on a single day. Stress: We all experience stress in our every day lives. We also (typically) have a choice as to how much stress we put on ourselves. Adding the ownership of a second home will certainly increase your pile. In my experience, I found that the property was always in the back of my mind. If a friend or relative was telling a story about an apartment they lived in or a bad neighbor they had, my mind would immediately go “south” and start focusing on the house. It is one of those things that, while maybe not “front of mind," never really leave your consciousness. I know of numerous people who own property in the White Mountains, but live down South. A couple of them have taken steps to reduce the stress related to their second home. Hiring a property manager is an obvious choice. Not only can this person take care of any “issues” that arise with the building or property but they can also collect rent, screen tenants and essentially act as your eyes and ears for your investment. Of course, this comes at a cost. As I mentioned earlier, we typically have a choice in our stress level, and hiring a property manager is a big step in reducing that stress. Sure, you will earn less over the course of your ownership of the property, but the peace of mind will likely be well worth it. see ROBIE page 49

Money: The obvious goal in investing in real estate, or investing in anything for that matter, is to better your financial status. Whether you are thinking long-term and are happy maintaining a steady flow of tenants, or you are thinking short-term and have the goal of flipping the property, the goal is to make money. Obviously your tenants will have a significant impact on your success. I was fortunate enough to have tenants who paid their rent. My upstairs tenants were always late, without exception. But they always paid. I learned early on that as long as they took good care of my home and didn’t bother the neighbors or the downstairs tenants, I

was happy to get the rent check whenever it came. They were clean, respectful and hard-working people. Being a few days late with the rent was not an issue. I am also not afraid to get my hands dirty. There are tons of things you can do to spruce up your property and increase both the rental amount you can charge and the resale value. The house I bought needed all the carpets ripped up, new flooring in the kitchen, a new bathroom and a complete paint job from top to bottom. At the outset, this seems like a ton of work, but when it came right down to it, it was something I enjoyed doing and was a great way to keep busy on weekends and relieve stress. There is also no greater feeling than knowing every action

you are taking throughout the day is going to pay you back in spades. It was a great learning opportunity and I have to mention that just writing that last paragraph has got me thinking about getting back into it again!! If you have an accountant you are comfortable with, I’m sure they could provide you with one of the many formulas used to determine if the home you are considering buying is a viable investment property. At the end of the day, it will come down to the simple question: Will the rental payments cover your expenses? Just like a normal home, you need to consider the mortgage, taxes, insurance, water see ROBIE page 50

Taking the step into homeownership is one of the most important financial decisions a person will make in their lifetime. There are many factors to consider when embarking on this venture. Numerous loan programs are available, and it is important to find the one that best fits your personal long-term goals. First and foremost, you must have a mortgage consultant in your corner who is willing to take the time to

and sewer and other standard bills. With an investment home, you have to also consider your liability insurance (higher with a tenant), vacancy rate (what if nobody rents it?) and how you will handle the utilities. For what it’s worth, I always encourage landlords to have their tenants pay the utilities. You would be amazed at how much more motivated your tenants will be to add plastic to drafty windows, shut off unused lights/fixtures and turn the heat down a bit when THEY are the ones paying those bills. Owning an investment house is one of the most rewarding things I have done. I was able to sell it after a short while and make a little bit of money. The best part is that I don’t have to

know what your long-term goals are. Communication is the key factor here. Curious prospective home buyers sometimes turn to Internet-based services just to see what current interest rates are. But a faceless website will not take the prospect’s future financial planning into consideration or guide the potential borrower through the many nuances of the loan process. When shopping for a home loan, be see next page

drive to southern New Hampshire on my weekends anymore! (Unless I go for fun!) I strongly encourage you to explore the possibilities of getting into investment property yourself. There are still government programs out there that provide assistance with down payments and other finance-related help. Don’t just assume that being a landlord is only for the rich and wealthy. I was able to do it for over four months without a job! (Thankfully my tenants paid their rent!) The rewards far outweighed the risk. Jason Robie is a staff writer for Badger Realty in North Conway.

Do buyers still need to pre-qualify? QUESTION: Since real estate activity in many markets has slowed, do buyers still need to prequalify for mortgage lenders? ANSWER: Prior to the mortgage meltdown borrowers in many cases could get financing with no-doc and low-doc loan applications. Concerns regarding credit quality were often ignored and the result was that unprecedented numbers of borrowers had foreclosures, investors wound up with losses and taxpayer help was needed to fund a massive bank bailout. Today the world is a very different place, and borrowers need to pre-qualify or get a pre-approval. (The terms "pre-approval" and "pre-qualify" may overlap; the important point is to speak with lenders.) First, the overwhelming majority of loans made today are FHA, VA or conventional. Each has plain qualification standards and each requires a fully documented loan application. Thus, the first reason to see a lender before buying is to assure you have all required information in hand. from preceding page

wary of web-based services that offer programs to reel prospects in with attractive rates that are based upon unrealistic time frames. If a lender is offering a terrific rate based on a 10-day lock-in period, it is unlikely that the potential homeowner would actually be able to find their dream home, get through the negotiation process and win approval from a lender within such a short period of time. This is called short-pricing, and when it comes time to close the transaction, the rate that was originally offered is simply no longer available. As a result, the unfortunate prospect is bulldozed into a loan program with a higher interest rate. It is highly unlikely that a qualified loan originator whose business is based upon referrals will use unscrupulous tactics such as this to get new customers in the door! Once you have found a mortgage consultant that you feel comfortable working with, lay your goals out on the table because it will have a tremendous impact on choosing a loan program that meets your specific needs. One of the most important factors to consider is how long you wish to borrow the money for. For example, if you know you will only be in the

Second, borrowers should review their mortgage options to see what type of loan financing makes the most sense in their situation. Third, it may be true that many markets have slowed, but no seller wants to waste time dealing with a possibly-unqualified borrower. Buyers will have a stronger bargaining position if a seller knows that the prospective purchases have the financial ability to close the deal. Under Wall Street reform lenders want to make qualified residential mortgages — QRMs — to avoid liability and reserve requirements. There are a number of standards loans must meet to attain QRM status, and many of them have to do with loan applications. The result is that by speaking with a lender you can determine precisely what documents will be required to have a successful application. Gather the paperwork you need, stick it in a folder and then when it's time to actually qualify for a loan your application can fly through the system. home for five years, it wouldn’t make sense to opt for a 30-year loan program or pay points up front to secure a lower interest rate. You would not be in the home long enough to benefit from such action. Your mortgage consultant should be able to narrow down a selection of programs based on the information you have provided, and present you with an easy-to-read spreadsheet that clearly defines viable options for your interest rate and amortization schedule, monthly payment and any potential savings you may realize by paying points up front. Moreover, a reputable loan originator will not hesitate to share this information with your tax consultant or financial planner so they may offer additional feedback on your behalf. Homeownership imparts a rewarding vehicle for building wealth and a strong financial future. The mortgage consultant you choose should be there not only when your loan closes, but should also provide you with ongoing service to assist you in managing that debt over time.

You’d think the mortgage bust would qualify as a teachable moment. But some people refuse to learn from mistakes — a list that apparently includes certain mortgage bankers. Their industry is fighting a new rule that might prevent a repeat of the lending binge that helped drive our economy off a cliff. In case you just arrived from another planet: America’s mortgage mania was fueled by home loans with poisonous features that made them virtually impossible to repay. It was fun while it lasted, at least for the financial types who profited by making dubious loans and selling them to investors. But the Dodd-Frank financial overhaul last year barred lenders from making home loans before determining that people could probably repay them. (It’s depressing that we have to legislate common sense, but, hey, that’s the world we live in.) Dodd-Frank also required regulators to define the characteristics of loans that would most likely be repaid. The idea was to ensure that banks had skin in the game when they bundled risky mortgages into securities. The proposal was this: If a mortgage security contains only high-quality loans, the banks can sell the entire offering. If the investments included riskier mortgages, the underwriters must keep 5 percent of the issue on their own books.

Year Round • Vacation • Waterfront • Condos • Residential • Commercial

Basically, Wall Street would have to eat a bit of its own cooking. Earlier this year, the Federal Reserve, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the comptroller of the currency, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Federal Housing Administration, the Federal Housing Finance Agency and the Department of Housing and Urban Development all agreed on what makes a mortgage most likely to perform well. They examined how different types of loans defaulted, and the attributes of the borrowers in question. Then they invited the public to comment on their proposal; that comment period ends tomorrow. One attribute of safer loans, the regulators found, was that homeowners had made a down payment of at least 20 percent. Another was that their housing debt did not exceed 28 percent of their monthly income, and that their total debts did not exceed 36 percent. In other words, regulators said, a relatively low-risk mortgage should look an awful lot like the ones that local banks made before the days of securitization on steroids. Regulators also said that the origination costs on low-risk mortgages should no more than 3 percent of the amount borrowed. The mortgage industry squawked. It would prefer that we return to the days of high-fee, anything-goes lending. That is not surprising. But what is surprising is that mortgage bankers are see next page

leaning on the same tired argument — that saner lending requirements will undermine the goal of expanding homeownership. In a comment letter filed with regulators last week, David Stevens, the president of the Mortgage Bankers Association, warned that the requirements on down payments and debt-to-income ratios were “unnecessary and not worth the societal costs of excluding far too many qualified borrowers from the most affordable mortgage loans to achieve homeownership.” Stevens, who last March left his job as federal housing commissioner at the Department of Housing and Urban Development, didn’t mention the enormous costs associated with reckless lending. We are still tallying the bills, but to date, taxpayers have funneled $154 billion to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Investors have suffered even greater damage. While we are discussing societal costs, let’s not forget how minority borrowers and first-time homebuyers were the targets of predatory lenders who lured them into toxic loans loaded with fees. A study issued last week on the widening wealth gap between minorities and white Americans points to the costs of predatory lending. Conducted by the Pew Research Center, a nonpartisan organization, the study noted that housing woes were the principal cause of precipitous declines in household net worth among both Hispanics and blacks from 2005 through 2009. The organization found that, adjusted for inflation, the median wealth of Hispanic households fell by two-thirds during that period. The wealth of black households declined 53 percent. The net worth of white households fell only 16 percent. And yet, Stevens noted in his letter that the mortgage bankers were “working in harmony with a very wide coalition of consumer advocates, civil rights groups and other industry associations, to educate policy makers and legislators concerning this rule.” One wonders how people who have lost their homes because of abusive

One wonders how people who have lost their homes because of abusive lending practices feel about their “advocates” forming an alliance with mortgage lenders on this issue. lending practices feel about their “advocates” forming an alliance with mortgage lenders on this issue. Stevens also argues that restricting mortgage fees to 3 percent, as proposed, would hurt borrowers by reducing their access to credit. Noting that his association opposes excessive fees, he wrote that his group “knows of no data evidencing that points and fees have affected borrowers’ ability to repay their loans.” He told a different story when he was at HUD overseeing the portfolio of loans insured by the F.H.A. Testifying before Congress in May 2010, Stevens cited five years of F.H.A. data showing that loans in which the seller of the property helped defray a borrower’s origination costs by more than 3 percent, known as a sellers’ concession, experienced significantly greater default rates. In 2008, for example, F.H.A.’s insurance claims on loans where sellers covered 3 percent to 6 percent of buyers’ costs were 50 percent higher than claims on loans where concessions from sellers fell below 3 percent. The higher concessions created “incentives to inflate appraised value,” Stevens testified. In other words, high costs do have consequences. Stevens, through a spokesman, declined to comment. As the advocate of the mortgage banking industry, Stevens is entitled to express the industry’s views. But it would be troubling if such arguments gained traction with regulators. In the years leading up to the crisis, the Mortgage Bankers Association and other financial trade groups persuaded regulators to postpone or water down rules that could have reined in subprime lending relatively early. We all know the consequences — and surely do not need to repeat past mistakes.

Renting isn't the same game that it used to be BY ERIK MARTIN CTW FEATURES

If you're hunting for the ideal residence to rent, you're probably feeling the squeeze — as in increased competition from other renters, fewer vacancies and rising rent costs. But fear not: If you do your homework and your timing is right, you stand a better chance of landing your desired unit, say the experts. U.S. apartment vacancies plunged to a two-year low in the fourth quarter of 2010 as rents increased, and the country's apartment vacancy rate fell to 6.6 percent from 8 percent a year earlier, according to New York City-based property research firm Reis, Inc. Why the change? The high rate of foreclosed homes is a significant factor, as families have been forced to surrender their properties and rent. Also, demand for apartments that was pent up during the recession is outstripping supply now that the economy and labor markets

are beginning to recover. Additionally, the housing market remains weak and mortgage underwriting standards are more stringent, pushing many people who would have become homeowners in the past to rent, says Ryan Severino, a senior economist with Reis. Before jumping in the rental pool, you need to know how to swim. While the perception may be that landlords are desperate for tenants, many rental property owners are extremely cautious about whom they rent to in this economy. "Tenants should make sure they have a current copy of their credit report, verified income, copies of pay stubs and other documentation which would support making a good case for them as a renter at a property prior to completing an application," Barry Saywitz, president, The Saywitz Company, Newport Beach, Calif., says. see next page

U.S. posts stronger job growth in July BY MOTOKO RICH NEW YORK TIMES

The United States economy continues on a wobbly course, but there was a collective sigh of relief on Friday as the government reported that employers added 117,000 jobs last month, slightly more jobs than expected. While hardly robust enough to produce a substantial change in the employment picture, the jobs growth calmed investors who feared that the stock market plunge on Thursday might pick up speed if the number had signaled a worsening of the already weak economic outlook. After the early morning announcement, stocks see-sawed before ending the day mixed, with invesfrom preceding page

Additionally, be prepared to put down a heftier security deposit in years past, and don't expect freebies like a month's rent. Incentives likes these are almost nonexistent, Saywitz says. When it's time to start apartment shopping, check out the newspaper, a local apartment rental magazine/ guide or Craigslist, drive around your chosen neighborhood or consult with a licensed real estate agent specializing in rentals. Research your property of interest carefully, and find out if the owner is current on their mortgage, property taxes and association fees. Scrutinize the lease carefully so that you know what's included and who is responsible for maintenance and repairs.

tors vacillating between encouragement that the jobs number was not terrible and disappointment that the world’s economies are not on firmer footing. Companies added 154,000 jobs in July, but state and local governments continued to backslide, shedding 39,000 jobs. The unemployment rate slipped a notch to 9.1 percent, from 9.2 percent in June, but that was mainly because some people had simply given up looking for work. The news tempered, but did not silence, talk of a double-dip recession. “It gives us some temporary relief,” said Nigel Gault, chief United States economist at IHS Global Insight. “I suspect, though, that relief will probably not last too long as people refocus on what they think will happen in the future.” "All too often, renters get overzealous once they find what they think is the perfect property, only to find out after the fact they have singed a lease agreement that makes them responsible for paying more than just the rent," says Cheri Luckhardt, agent with Coldwell Banker-Del Mar Village, Del Mar, Calif. Severino says Reis anticipates rents to increase annually at an average rate of 3.4 percent over the next five years. Nationally, asking rents as of the first quarter of 2011 are at $1,047 per unit, on average. "Sign the longest term lease you can right now to avoid rent increases occurring any sooner because they will likely go up on your lease renewal," adds Julie Clark, a broker with Commercial Space Advisors in Seattle. © CTW Features
