Study looks at social capital and N.H. Grand BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

COOS COUNTY -- A new study looks at how social capital - the ties or connections between people - was successfully used to help launch the countywide New Hampshire Grand branding project. Michele Dillon, a professor of sociology and a senior fellow at the Carsey Institute at the University of New Hampshire, argues that social capital can be used to achieve regional cooperation in rural

economic development. As an example, she said the branding project’s ability to launch a county-wide brand was facilitated by the effective use of the county’s social capital resources. Dillon noted that Coos County lost 18 percent of its manufacturing jobs between 2000 and 2006, largely as a result of paper mill closings. With the county ‘s unemployment rate the highest in the state, the region began to look at tourism development as one way to revitalize the local economy.

A variety of organizations and businesses joined together in 2007 to hire Roger Brooks of Destination Development Inc., to do a site assessment of the county. Two years later, the new Coos marketing brand, ‘New Hampshire Grand: Grand Resorts, Grand Adventures’, was launched. In her report, Dillon writes that the successful launching of New Hampshire Grand “was in large part due to the strategic way in which bridging social see STUDY page 6

Lynch: ‘Still a need for the Conway bypass’ BY TOM EASTMAN THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — Four-term New Hampshire Democratic Gov. John D. Lynch says it’s time for the people of Conway to decide whether there is still a need for the now-unfunded Route 16 bypass. The long-delayed project has been pushed back to at least 2022. It has been dropped from the state’s next proposed 10-year transportation plan, meaning the state doesn’t plan to start on it for at least a decade, if not longer. Speaking at the Mount Washington Valley Economic Council’s monthly Eggs and Issues breakfast forum at the North Conway Grand Oct. 7, Lynch said, “It’s been my experience as governor that people have not agreed as to how the bypass should go. I have been to numerous meetings here, and you’d get people arguing with each other about whether the bypass should be depressed (reduced in size) or not; where it should be expanded, whether there should be rotaries. I think ulti-

mately the community needs to agree what that bypass should look like.” He said he believes there is still a need for traffic relief locally, even though critics contend that the need for the roadway has lessened, given the construction of North-South Road and other incremental changes made during the first five phases of the ninephased bypass project. “I still think there’s a need for one [the bypass],” said Lynch, answering a reporter’s question after the forum, “but the community really needs to come together and to agree once and for all as to what that bypass should be.” As to the funding question, Lynch said, “The legislature cut a lot of money for the Department of Transportation, but at some point that money will go back in and it could be there for a bypass but I think now is the time for people to agree what that bypass should be.” see BYPASS page 7

TOMS RIVER, N.J. — (NY Times) “How come she’s so white and you’re so dark?” The question tore through Heather Greenwood as she was about to check out at a store here one afternoon this summer. Her brown hands were pushing the shopping cart that held her babbling toddler, Noelle, all platinum curls, fair skin and ice-blue eyes. The woman behind Greenwood, who was white, asked once she realized, by the way they were talking, that they were mother and child. “It’s just not possible,” she charged indignantly. “You’re so...dark!” It was not the first time someone had demanded an explanation from Mrs. Greenwood about her biological daughter, but it was among the more aggressive. Shaken almost to tears, she wanted to flee, to shield her little one from this kind of talk. But after quickly paying the cashier, she managed a reply. “How come?” she said. “Because that’s the way God made us.” The Greenwood family tree, emblematic of a growing number of American bloodlines, has roots on many continents. Its mix of races — by marriage, adoption and other close relationships — can be challenging to track, sometimes confusing even for the family itself.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (NY Times) — Splashed across the front page of the local newspaper here on Tuesday was the story of a 24-year-old Occupy protester named Keith Cuesta. He was not in New York, where some have been living in a park near Wall Street for nearly four weeks, but about 1,000 miles away in Tampa, where a small group of self-described “99 percenters” have decided to camp out in solidarity. Cuesta told the newspaper,

The St. Petersburg Times, that he had “finally found something he cared enough about to sleep on a sidewalk.” As the Occupy Wall Street message of representing 99 percent of Americans has spread across the country, news media coverage of the Occupy movement has spread, too, to the front pages of newspapers and the tops of television newscasts. Coverage of the movement last week was, for the first time, quantitatively equivalent to

early coverage of the Tea Party movement in early 2009, according to data released Wednesday by the Pew Research Center. The data confirms an anecdotal sense that the movement, which slowly gained speed last month, entered the nation’s collective consciousness for the first time last week, when President Obama was asked about it at a news conference and when national television news programs were first anchored from the Wall Street protest site.

WASHINGTON (NY Times) — President Obama on Thursday vowed to push for what he called the “toughest sanctions” to punish Iranian officials whom he accused of complicity in a suspected plot to kill the Saudi ambassador to the United States. At the same time, State Department officials said United States officials had been in direct contact with the government of Iran over the accusations. In his first public remarks on the issue since it was revealed on Tuesday, Mr. Obama sought to counter skepticism about whether Iran’s Islamic

government directed an Iranian-American car salesman to engage with a Mexican drug cartel to assassinate Saudi Arabia’s ambassador to the United States and carry out other attacks. Mr. Obama insisted that American officials “know that he had direct links, was paid by, and directed by individuals in the Iranian government.” “Now those facts are there for all to see,” Mr. Obama said. “We would not be bringing forward a case unless we knew exactly how to support all the allegations that are contained in the indictment.”

Strong earnings at Google exceed expectations

SAN FRANCISCO (NY Times) — Google has been spooking shareholders by charging ahead with high-priced acquisitions and new businesses. But its third-quarter earnings, announced Thursday, provided some comfort that its central business, search advertising, continues to chug along. Google easily surpassed analysts’ expectations, reporting that revenue climbed 33 percent and net income rose 26 percent. “I don’t love a lot of the things that Google’s doing, but their core business is a powerhouse,” said Colin W. Gillis, an analyst at BCG Partners. “When they bust out revenues above expectations, all the sins are forgiven.” In after-hours trading, shareholders responded favorably to the earnings report, as shares rose 6 percent. Still, others question whether Google’s search business will keep up its steady rate of impressive growth, particularly as more searches are done on mobile phones, where people are less likely to click on ads, and as advertisers spend more money on display and social ads, compared with ads in search.

N.H. Secretary of State trending topic on Twitter CONCORD — New Hampshire’s secretary of state was a trending topic on Twitter on Thursday. The tag #BillGardnerFacts was buzzing Thursday with jokes making light of Secretary of State Bill Gardner’s firm stance on the state’s first-in-the-nation primary. Gardner released a statement Wednesday noting that he has complete control over setting the date of the primary and

urging Nevada to move its caucus a few days to allow Iowa and New Hampshire to hold their contests in January. The tweets include such “facts” as: “When Bill Gardner is in Rome, the Romans do what HE does” and “ Bill Gardner never has the same birthday. He requires it to be 7 days before any other Secretary of State’s birthday.” —Courtesy of WMUR

Poll shows little support for repealing same-sex marriage DURHAM — A new poll shows strong support for allowing same-sex marriage to continue in New Hampshire. Republicans in the state Legislature are scheduled to take up the issue of same-sex marriage when they reconvene in January. Same-sex marriage was passed in 2009, and a poll from the University of New Hampshire Survey Center shows strong opposition to attempts to repeal the law. The WMUR Granite State poll shows that only 27 percent of New Hampshire adults support repealing same-sex marriage, while 50 percent

strongly oppose repeal. The percentages are similar to a poll asking the same question in February. The poll of 500 randomly selected New Hampshire adults was conducted by phone from Sept. 26 through Oct. 2 and has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 4.4 percent. “Strong opponents of repealing same-sex marriage continue to outnumber strong proponents by more than 2 to 1,” said Andrew Smith, director of the UNH Survey Center. “The New Hampshire public is not showing any strong desire to repeal this law.” —Courtesy of WMUR

Member of famed WWII Carlsons Raiders to be honored LACONIA -- The Lakes Region Detachment of the Marine Corps League will honor a former member of the famed Marine Corps Carlson’s Raiders at its 13th Annual “Gathering” of Marines from New Hampshire on Saturday, November 12, when the detachment celebrates the 236th birthday of the United States Marine Corps. This year’s event will be highlighted with a declaration honoring Harold Sheffield, a 91 year old former member of the Marine Corps 2nd Raider Battalion, who has maintained a residence in the Bristol/Alexandria area of the Lakes Region since 1950. Born in Bayonne, New Jersey in 1920, Sheffield joined the Marine Corps in January of 1942, right after the bombing of Pearl Harbor by the Japanese on December 7, 1941. After going through boot camp at Parris Island, South Carolina, he was sent to the Pacific Theatre where he served on Tulagi and Guadalcanal islands before being transferred to New Caledonia. There he joined the elite Marine Raiders and was assigned to the 2nd Raider Battalion under the command of Lt. Col. Alan Shapley. The Marine Raiders are considered to be the forerunners of today’s elite special combat units in the military such as the U.S. Army Delta Force, Navy Seals, and Marine Recons. The primary function of the Raiders was to conduct amphibious light infantry warfare on the Jap-

anese, particularly doing so in fast moving rubber boats and operating behind enemy lines throughout the Pacific Theatre. The 2nd Marine Raiders Battalion is said to be the first United States special operations forces to see combat in WWII. President Franklin D. Roosevelt wanted an American counterpart to the British Commandos that were operating in North Africa and many of the Asian countries and chose the US Marine Corps to organize four battalions of elite Marine personnel to be called “Marine Raiders”, for the purpose of carrying out secret combat missions throughout the Pacific Theatre. They did this to great acclaim until they were forged into regular Marine Combat Divisions in late 1944 as the United States prepared for an all out assault on the Japanese stronghold of Okinawa and the mainland itself. During the Raiders period of combat operations Medals of Honor, the highest award given by the United States, for military gallantry and valor, was bestowed on seven officers and enlisted members from the four Raider Battalions. Sheffield was promoted to Sergeant during his tenure with the 2nd Raider Battalion including combat action on the islands of Emireau and Bougainville where he received a Presidential Unit Citation and a Navy Unit Citation. After the Raider Battalions were incorporated into the 4th Marine see RAIDERS page 5

The Story Of An Eye This is the story of an eye. My eye. My right eye, to be exact. An eye out of which I used to be able to see. But a not-so-funny thing happened a little over three-and-a-half months ago. It started out simple enough. During a routine eye exam, it was decided that a cataract procedure was called for. Well, okay, that wasn’t surprising. At the age of seventy-six, having worn glasses for as long as I could remember, and with the lenses getting thicker and thicker over the years, it was probably time. I even think I was the one who first raised the issue. And so, the procedure was set in motion. “Piece of cake,” most everyone we spoke with said. “You’re in and out of there in half an hour. And you’ll be able to see so much better.” My eye doctor even spoke of how much less of a prescription I would need. Piece of cake. But Murphy’s Law prevailed the day of the surgery, and anything that could go wrong did go wrong, and at the worst possible time. My right eye refused to cooperate with the surgeon’s efforts to position it for the procedure he, and other eye surgeons like him, had done thousands of times before. The end result was that the cataracts were displaced, and the doctor was unable to put in a new lens – the lens that was supposed to give me a new day of vision. The “piece of cake” had quickly crumbled – and in the worst possible way. A second procedure, this one to remove the cataracts that had been displaced and to try again to put the new lens in would have to be done. This would require a different surgeon, and I would have to go to Portland, Maine, to have it done. Such surgery was not done locally. And the procedure needed to be done as quickly as possible. The middle of the next week found my wife

and I over in Portland and me back in an operating room. Once again, the eye proved to be uncooperative. While the cataracts were finally removed, a new lens refused all efforts to put it in place. Now the eye would have to heal before anything more could be tried. Even the healing process, though, began to have unexpected consequences, largely of a retinal nature. A third procedure would be necessary. As I write this, my ever patient and positive thinking wife and I have returned from a follow-up visit with the surgeon. This time, the healing process is proceeding in a more positive way, although all is not totally well just yet. And a fourth procedure will be necessary to remove some of the materials he had to use during the third procedure. Fortunately, that can wait awhile, and my wife and I will be able to make the trip to Kenya for which we signed up months before this whole adventure with the eye began. Just a couple of weeks ago, making the trip was a big question mark. But this past Tuesday, we were told that the eye looked good enough to go. Needless to write, we are looking forward to November with relief and great expectations. The downside of all of this is that I no longer have, nor will I have, much, if any, vision in my right eye at all. Still, I am able to do my work, to drive, and to take the trips my wife and I so love to plan and go on. Things could be a good deal worse. And I am not alone. It’s been surprising to learn how many people we know are actually blind in one eye. They seem to be doing quite well in their lives, though, and, despite the frequent frustrations and the adding of new words to my vocabulary to express them, I fully expect to do the same. It certainly beats banging my head against a wall and whining about “Why me?”

Prospero’s Tempestuous Family Abdulfattah “John” Jandali is a casino manager outside Reno, so he knows about odds. And he must wonder sometimes: What are the odds of a Sunni Muslim immigrant from Syria producing two dazzling American talents, a son who transformed the world of technology and a daughter who lit up the world of literature, and ending up estranged from both? Of the many memorable photos that have been published since Steve Jobs died, the most poignant was in The Wall Street Journal on Monday. The picture itself wasn’t anything special, not like the intimate portraits of Jobs by Diana Walker that appeared in Time magazine. This was just a head shot of Jobs staring out, with rimless glasses, aquiline nose, receding hairline and intense brown eyes. It mesmerized because of its juxtaposition to a head shot of Jandali, Jobs’s 80-year-old biological father, who stared out with the same rimless glasses, aquiline nose, receding hairline and intense brown eyes. Jandali told The Journal that, over the last year, he periodically sent some e-mails to the son he never met, wishing him happy birth-

day or better health. He said he got a couple of short replies, including a “Thank you.” But a Jobs family friend disputes that. Jandali, a widower, reads books on an iPad and uses an iPhone 4. But the father of Jobs never met the father of Apple. The closest he got was downloading videos of Jobs introducing Apple products. He didn’t even learn Jobs was his son until around 2005. When Jandali was pursuing his doctorate in political science at the University of Wisconsin in the early ’50s, he fell in love with a fellow graduate student named Joanne Schieble. She became pregnant, but her family did not approve of her relationship with a Syrian, so she put up her son for adoption. The boy was raised by Paul Jobs, a high-school dropout and machinist for a laser company in Los Altos, Calif., and Clara Jobs, an accountant. Once Joanne’s disapproving father died a couple of years later, she married Jandali. They had a daughter, who grew up to be Mona Simpson, the novelist. The couple divorced after a few years and Joanne and Mona lived in Green Bay, Wis., see TEMPESTUOUS page 5

TEMPESTUOUS from page 4

friends which of his two girlfriends was more beautiful, as Jobs did; he belatedly forms a relationship with his outof-wedlock daughter, as Jobs did. Simpson begins with the simple devastating sentence: “He was a man too busy to flush toilets.” She focuses on the painful central question about Jobs: How does the abandoned become the abandoner? When he cast off his own infant daughter he was the same age his parents were when they cast off him. Three years after the novel came out in 1996, Lisa Brennan-Jobs, the daughter Jobs had with an old girlfriend, wrote a searing piece for The Harvard Advocate about how it took her two years to get up the courage to read her aunt’s book, which contains details like Jane (Lisa’s doppelganger) forging her father’s signature on her Harvard application. “He was away on business, and it had to be done,” Lisa writes, adding about Mona: “It is a rare experience to find that someone unexpected has been holding captive moments of my past. She watched me when I was younger, sneaking contraband miniskirts and makeup into my locker, and later, during middle and high school, she was one of my primary confidants. I didn’t know that as I sought her consolations and took her advice, she, too, was taking. It was apparently a trade.” The roman à clef jangled nerves in the family, but Mona and Steve were close again when he was dying. Beyond the gushing encomiums for the Prospero of Palo Alto, there roiled a family tempest that might have even shocked Shakespeare.

feeling as though Jandali had abdicated his role in their lives. Jandali told The Journal that he had tried to reach Mona after he heard of Jobs’s death, but she did not respond. He keeps a publicity shot of his daughter that he downloaded from the Internet, framed, on his desk. “If I talked to him,” he said of his son, “I don’t know what I would have said to him.” Like Shakespearean drama, where fathers haunt and where siblings are swept apart by a shipwreck only to learn later that the other is still alive, Steve and Mona met only in their mid20s. Jobs began the hunt for his biological mother in his teens and was ready to give up, he told The Times’s Steve Lohr, when he finally discovered at age 27 that he had a younger sister. He was thrilled that she was an artist because he liked to think of himself as one. The computer whiz kid and the literary whiz kid grew close. Simpson mined the theme of missing fathers for her critically acclaimed novels “Anywhere But Here” and “The Lost Father.” She also wrote a novel inspired by her famous brother, “A Regular Guy,” which casts a gimlet eye on Jobs, who specialized in hot-cold emotional roller-coaster rides. It’s about an emotionally disconnected, fruit-loving Silicon Valley biotech entrepreneur named Tom Owens, “a guy in jeans, barefoot in the boardroom.” He lives in a barely furnished mansion once owned by a copper baron, as Jobs did; he loses control of his company to suits, as Jobs did; he tried to decide whom to marry by asking

capital was used and expanded by the Branding Project”. She said building community support for the branding initiative was a key component of the project’s campaign and included incorporating stake holders, using venues like the Coos Symposium to explain the project, and disseminating information through workshops spread out across the region and attended by community leaders. Another important component of the project was an emphasis on building cooperative relationships. Dillon said the five different chambers of commerce in the county were hesitant to embrace the regional brand concept. She pointed out the chambers were established to promote the unique attributes of their towns and feared losing their own identities. Dillon said the branding project stressed its goal was to incorporate the different ‘sub-brands’ and worked to gain the cooperation of the individual chambers. One thing the project did was host joint meetings of the chambers which prior to that point had not had much social contact. In the end, the chambers all agreed to cooperate with the branding effort. Dillon did point to one occasion where the branding project failed and that was in its effort to gain

the support of the Coos County Commissioners for a grant application to pay for new signage. The commissioners said they did not receive the application in time to review it and hold a public hearing. Dillon said there was a personal dimension to the episode - the family-owned theme park of one of the commissioners had been removed from the project’s list of “best of ” activities. The grant application could not go forward without the approval of the commissioners. Dillon said there had been little effort to include the commissioners as part of the branding effort which might have changed their mistrust of the project. The report notes in a 2010 survey Coos residents registered remarkably high levels of neighborly trust and cooperativeness. Dillon said the county also has a rich civic infrastructure with community institutions, family services, associations, annual public festivals and fairs providing a range of volunteer outlets and opportunities for social interaction. She observed, however, that most of those ties are community-based rather than county-wide. But in recent years, Dillon said there has been a concerted effort to expand those ties regionally.

She specifically pointed to the Coos Symposium, a region-wide annual networking event, partly sponsored by the Neil and Louise Tillotson Fund of the N.H. Charitable Foundation. Over the five years of its existence, Dillon said the symposium has bolstered the region’s social capital by bringing together and creating ties among individual from different organizations, sectors, and geographical locations. She said the county is fortunate to have the Tillotson Fund that contributes financially to many significant ventures like the Coos Symposium and the N.H. Grand branding project. But even without a philanthropic organization like the Tillotson Fund, Dillon said social capital can be utilized for economic development efforts. She said the branding project succeeded in large part by forging broad community support and inter community cooperation for the project across the county. “As Coos moves forward and continues to develop its tourism sector, ongoing community support and inter-community cooperation will be crucial to translating its newly branded place identify into a place that will attract tourism and further investment,” she concluded.

BYPASS from page one

Even with the widening of Route 302, the upgrade to Route 16 along the North Conway strip, and the construction of North-South Road, Lynch says congestion is still an issue at many times of the year. A particular bottleneck remains in Conway Village, around which the southern segment of the bypass is supposed to skirt. “I think this area needs the bypass. I think there is just too much congestion right now, and I think that would be money would be well-spent. And, I think it’s ultimately important not only for public safety but for economic development,” said Lynch. Joining in on the conversation was local businessman Dick Badger of Badger Realty of North Conway and Jackson. Badger championed the need for extension of North-South Road to Intervale, and also said there is a need for a bypass around Conway Village.

The southern bypass as planned would go from the former Bill’s Place in Albany, around Conway Village, east to the Route 302-113 intersection in Center Conway. “We can’t look at it just parochially. What about Gorham and Berlin? They need access, and good access. I think there are something like 200 trucks per day that go right through the village one way to Portland and the other to get to the North Country. The Conway bypass section should be done and tie it in to the North-South Road — at least you’d have 50 percent of the problem solved,” said Badger to Lynch. “I agree that it’s got to be a kind of a master plan,” said Lynch. The new 10-year plan has the department concentrating on existing infrastructure maintenance, primarily major roads and bridges, while letting everything else go. In Conway that means the southern portion of the Route 16 bypass, previ-

Four days after last fall’s event, Congress passed the Secure and Responsible Drug Disposal Act of 2010, which amends the Controlled Substances Act to allow an “ultimate user” of controlled substance medications to dispose of them by delivering them to entities authorized by the Attorney General to accept them. The Act also allows the Attorney General to authorize long term care facilities to dispose of their residents’ controlled substances in certain instances. DEA has begun drafting regulations to implement the Act, a process that can take as long as 24 months. Until new regulations are in place, local law enforcement agencies like Gorham Police and the DEA will continue to hold prescription drug takeback events every few months.

partners. This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue. Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse, and abuse. Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs. Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet. In addition, Americans are now advised that their usual methods for disposing of unused medicines—flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash—both pose potential safety and health hazards.

74 Tips To Extend the Life of Your Car Care and Maintenance Tips Keep Your Car Running in Top-Notch Condition We’ve compiled our best expert advice, surprising tricks, and car care tips to prolong the life of your automobile! 1. Be patient during the break-in period You’ve bought your dream car and now you want to make it last at long as possible in top condition. Here are some things to remember as you pull it out of the dealer’s lot: * During the break-in period, typically the first 1,000 miles (1,600 km), keep your speed under 55 mph (88 kpm) or to the speed recommended by your car’s manufacturer. * Avoid heavy loads on the drive train, such as towing trailers, and loading the roof rack or trunk with heavy construction materials. * Do not allow your new car to idle for long periods — this is good advice for the life of your car, but especially during breakin. The oil pressure generated by doing so may not be sending oil to every part of your engine. * Use only light to medium acceleration, keeping the engine rpms below 3,000 for the first few hours of driving. 2. Drive with care everyday Being car considerate shouldn’t stop after the break-in. Drive with care every day and your car will reward you with longer intervals without repair. * Do not race your car’s engine during start-up.This is a quick way to add years of wear to your engine, especially if it’s cold outside. * Accelerate slowly when you begin your drive.The most wear to the engine and drive train occurs in the first ten to twenty minutes of operation. * Warming the engine by letting it idle in the driveway is not a smart idea.The engine doesn’t operate at its peak temperature, resulting in incomplete fuel combustion, soot deposits on cylinder walls, oil contamination, and ultimately damaged components. * Put less strain on your engine and automatic transmission by shifting to neutral at red lights. Otherwise, the engine is still working to push the car even while it’s stopped. * Avoid driving at high speeds and accelerating quickly, especially when it’s very hot or very cold outside. Such driving behavior will result in more frequent repairs. * Extend the life of your tires with careful driving. Observe posted speed limits. Avoid fast starts, stops, and turns. Avoid potholes and objects on the road. Don’t run over curbs or hit the tire against the curb when parking. And, of course, don’t burn rubber. * When turning your steering wheel, don’t hold it in an extreme right or left position for more than a few seconds. Doing so can damage the power-steering pump. * Consolidate your short driving trips. Most of the wear and tear — as

well as the pollution your car generates — takes place in the first few minutes of driving. Doing several errands at once, during low traffic hours if possible, will keep your engine happier longer. 3. Buy gas at reputable service stations Ask whether the gas you buy is filtered at the pump and if the station has a policy about changing the pump filters regularly. If you get a song and dance, find another gas station. Some stations don’t have pump filters, making you more vulnerable to dirty gasoline. Other stations may not mix alcohol and fuel properly — or worse, water down their product. Find a station you trust and stick to it. 4. Don’t fill up if you see the tanker If you happen to see a gasoline tanker filling the tanks at your local gas station, come back another day or go to a different station. As the station’s underground tanks are being filled, the turbulence can stir up sediment. Sediment in your gas can clog fuel filters and fuel injectors, causing poor performance and possibly necessitating repairs. 5. Go easy when you’re stuck When stuck in mud or snow, don’t make the problem worse by damaging an expensive component. Gently rocking in an attempt to free the car is fine. But if it looks as though you’re really stuck, don’t keep at it. Throwing your car from forward to reverse repeatedly, as well as spinning tires at high speeds, can generate lots of heat and spell trouble for transmissions, clutches, and differentials. It may be cheaper in the long run to call the tow truck rather than risk big repair bills down the road. It’s a good idea to carry a traction aid in the trunk, such as sand, gravel, or cat litter. 6. Lighten up your key chain Does your car key share a chain with a dozen or more other keys? That’s a pretty heavy load hanging off the car key when it’s in the ignition. The weight, combined with bouncing while you drive, can wear out the tumblers inside the ignition and eventually lead to ignition switch failure.To add years of service to your ignition switch, purchase a lightweight key chain that allows you to separate your ignition key from the others. Drive with only the ignition key in your ignition. If your ignition key “sticks” when you try to turn on the car, it’s a warning that your ignition switch is about to fail. Replace it before you get stranded. 7. Choose a good car insurer Sometimes, no matter how careful you are, disaster inevitably strikes — typically in the form of an accident. Make sure that your car will be repaired to the best possible standard by finding an insurer that will pay for parts from the original manufacturer and guarantee the repairs it authorizes. 8.

adventures.

It all started last spring in Daytona during bike week. Street bikes and Dirt bikes and warm weather, brought out for some interesting fun. A couple of trips to Rossmeyers to look at the new Harley products. Studying many motorcycles, for ideas to help our customers. Dozens of vendor displaying awesome stuff. Well our customers came out, after the roads in our area progressed from snowmobile trails to dirt tracks to dry clear somewhat smoother roads. One of the problems we came across this year was the fact that some customers would let “bug guts” dry on the fork legs,and ruin fork seals. Keep this area clean. For all of you who were patient during our busy times, thank you! I can’t thank enough the guy’s who help me. We survived Bike Week, Blessing of the bikes, and then our AVCF Poker run.

Mr. Auto

Mr. Auto’s certified technicians with over 96 years of experience offer these winter car care tips. Check the state of your battery, change your oil at regular intervals. Check to make sure your transmission fuel is clean and up to level. All exterior lights are working and clear of snow and dirt. Tires are at proper inflation. Have an emergency kit with shovel, flashlight, blankets and non perishable food and water on hand. TIPS from page

Keep a pad and pencil in the glove compartment and use them to record your gas fill-ups and mileage. If you notice that your gas mileage worsens, mention it to your service man. It may be an early warning sign that something is wrong with your car. 9. Preserve your car during long-term storage If you are not going to use your car for more than a month, store it properly to prevent unnecessary damage and repairs upon your return. * Fill the gas tank to help prevent condensation from accumulating in the gas tank. Add a fuel stabilizer and drive the car around a bit to distribute the additive to engine parts. * Wash and wax the car thoroughly to protect the finish. * Place a vapor barrier on your garage floor. A 4-mil polyethylene drop cloth will do. * Disengage the parking brake to help avoid brake corrosion. * Put the car on jack stands to take the weight of the vehicle off the wheels and tires. * Disconnect and remove the battery to keep it from draining. Place the battery on a trickletype charger. Or periodically drain the battery, using a small light bulb, and then recharge it with a low-volt charger. * Plug the tailpipe with a rag to prevent moist air from infiltrating into it.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Lynn Johnston

DILBERT

by Scott Adams

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You would rather make others feel relaxed, or even superior, than intimidated. You’ll humble yourself even when you are fully aware that it is unnecessary or inaccurate to do so. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). A sadness in you will find release. This might come about in your life or through your identification with another person’s story. Once the sadness is gone, something warm and tender will rush in to fill its place. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Morning brings a fortuitous event, one that you expect will occur again in the future. Your expectation of continued luck may be the very thing that makes it so. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You seem like you have everything together. This isn’t exactly true, though. Be mindful of your unmet needs. Tell people what they are so that you can give others the chance to help you. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You think you’re fine on your own, but until you experience a deeper sense of fellowship and community, you won’t realize what you’re missing. Reach out and enjoy a sense of belonging. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 14). Your beauty is enhanced by your kindness. You’ll notice you have a strange power within your close relationships. You’ll let someone go in April and find out that they want you all the more because of the freedom that comes with loving you. November, May and June are the most profitable months. Gemini and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 25, 49, 29 and 14.

Get Fuzzy

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Ask for what you want. Your needs will be met. This might be difficult for you to believe, having often been ignored by those too self-absorbed to really see you. Today will be different. Just ask. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You need guidance and direction. It is unfair of you to believe you will find your way on your own. Why waste time wandering aimlessly? Ask for assistance or, at the very least, a map. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Only seek relationships with those who are emotionally available. You need to be around a giver. With the proper nurturing, you could heal an old wound. It’s time for this to happen. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You realize that even if you are undeniably in the right, arguing with a stranger is senseless and will get you exactly nowhere. You’ll instead find a way to let the other person save face and move quickly on. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your physical response to stress might not be to your liking, but rest assured your body knows what it’s doing. It’s giving you the energy to handle things and handle them well. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You feel safe, even with people you don’t know too well. You’ll open up in some way. Not only will you express your truth, but you also will recognize that it is your right to do so. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You are starting to realize that doing the right thing for yourself once or twice a week is simply not enough. It’s important that you make regular practice of it. Repeat the action often until it becomes habitual.

TRASH TALKING CREATES A STINK AFTER WARRING COUPLE RECONCILES

DEAR ABBY: When my son “Lyle” told my husband and me that his wife, “Becky,” was leaving him and taking their kids where he would not be able to see them, we were shocked. Lyle consulted an attorney, filed for divorce that day, and got a restraining order to keep Becky from running off with the kids. We begged them to go to counseling. As things progressed, Lyle learned about several of Becky’s affairs, her drug use and her chronic lying, and told us every awful, shocking detail. He also made sure our entire family knew about his lying, cheating, conniving wife. As talk began to circulate around our family, my husband told Lyle he knew from the beginning that all the things he had been told about Becky were true. Well, today my son announced to us that he and Becky are back together! We are stunned. Abby, please warn people who are considering divorce to keep their mouths shut, because spreading dirt helps no one and can cause real problems later. Any advice on how to deal with this mess now? -- WISH WE WERE NEVER TOLD DEAR WISH: While I’m not a doctor, I am prescribing a healthy dose of collective amnesia for your family. It’s the only way you’ll be able to look Becky in the eye. Your son was lining up allies when he trashed her. Whether or not what he said about her was true or exaggerated, no one will regard her -- or him -- quite the way they did. What a shame. DEAR ABBY: My mother-in-law, “Bernice,” hasn’t spoken to me since her son and I were married four years ago. We got along well prior to the wedding, but because I didn’t let her make major decisions in the wedding she stopped speaking to me. I have done everything I can to mend our

relationship -- sent her letters of apology, birthday gifts, etc. -- still no response. My husband is in the middle. I have really had it with Bernice and don’t want to try to mend fences with her any longer, but my husband is very close to his mom and wants me to keep trying. What can I do? Please help. -- DAUGHTER-IN-LAW DILEMMA DEAR DAUGHTER-IN-LAW: Your husband isn’t in the middle. His mother has been trying to push you out in left field for four years, and he is unwilling to put his foot down and stop her. If you’re smart, you will take the high road and continue with the gifts on special occasions. With luck, she’ll continue to ignore them and you won’t have to tolerate her. A mother-in-law who carries a grudge and thinks her “suggestions” are ironclad is a bona fide burden. Be glad you don’t have to suffer her presence, and keep your fingers crossed. DEAR ABBY: My wife and I are the parents of three young boys -- ages 11, 8 and 3. My wife often walks around our bedroom and bathroom naked, or topless with lacy underpants. I feel it is inappropriate for her to walk around in this manner and that she should take care to cover up, especially in front of the older boys. What do you think? -- BLUSHING IN SAN JOSE, CALIF. DEAR BLUSHING: Although families have different standards regarding nudity, I think a touch of modesty is the best policy. If your wife enjoys being nude or topless in the confines of your bedroom and bathroom, she should keep the door shut, and ask that the boys knock and ask permission before entering.

N.H. fighting to hold on to first-in-the-nation status BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONCORD — New Hampshire will do all it can to maintain its firstin-the-nation primary status. Secretary of State Bill Gardner said as much Wednesday while other state leaders backed his efforts. Gardner released the following statement Wednesday titled “Why New Hampshire’s Primary Tradition Is Important”: “Every four years, Americans elect the most powerful leader in the world. We go to the polls and select the man or woman who will be president of the United States. It is probably the most important political decision each of us makes because our choice can affect the lives and happiness of ourselves and our children for years into our future. “Democracy is hard work. Protecting American democracy has been a cause of freedom in our nation for over two centuries, and our fellow citizens who have gone before us dedicated their lives, and in some cases lost their lives, in that fight. The principles of democracy and freedom are ZUMBA from page 18

one muscle group at a time using the core through each movement! The Royalty Athletic Club is a full service health club facility offering

worth every bit of that fight. “One vital way that we preserve our democracy is to have an election system that allows for the longsaid American dream that just about anyone can grow up to be president of the United States. Our boys and girls just starting to go to school should feel that regardless of their wealth or other limitations, they too could become president, or whatever else they aspire to. “For nearly 100 years, the New Hampshire first-in-the-nation presidential primary has had meaning and relevance to American politics. It has allowed for candidates regardless of national standing or financial capability to begin their launch into presidential politics by winning or doing well here. Several aspiring Americans likely would not have become president if they weren’t first able to make their case door-to-door, face-toface, eye-to-eye with New Hampshire voters who meet them at our homes, in our backyards, and on our sidewalks away from the microphones and cameras that create a barrier between human beings. something for all ages and is open 7even days a week until 11 p.m. For more information call 466-5422 or visit www.facebook.com/royaltyathleticclub.

“New Hampshire is first for a reason. While New Hampshire has had a presidential primary since 1916, and has been first since 1920, it wasn’t until 1975 that our status was put into state law. The law now requires that our primary is seven days or more before similar elections that would challenge our traditional position. “What that law requires is that I look at the nominating events of other states where presidential candidates run, and then set our primary a week ahead of them. Since New Hampshire citizens pay for our primary, we can hold it whenever we wish. “It is up to the candidates themselves to decide whether to campaign here. Ours is the first event where voters go into the privacy of the voting booth to make a choice for a candidate on the ballot. It tells the nation something about their support. “Consider the alternatives. It used to be that delegates for national political conventions were chosen in secret mainly by party leaders, out of view of the public. Would we tolerate that kind of process now? And without having caucuses and primaries in smaller states, larger states would have the exclusive major role in the nominating process. “Worse yet, if a national primary was held, or if the role of small states

was eliminated, only the very rich or famous candidates would be able to put on the major campaigns needed for victory or to exceed expectations. In a state like New Hampshire, candidates can run without a large staff or heavy advertising and consulting budgets if they have a message, meet directly with voters, and explain why they should be president. Examples abound. “Options for New Hampshire’s primary date. With Florida moving its primary earlier than originally planned to Jan. 31 and South Carolina making a move to set its primary 10 days earlier to Jan. 21, that began to limit options for setting our date in January. When officials in Nevada set their caucus for Saturday, Jan. 14, that left Tuesday, Jan. 3, as a possibility for us, but Iowa officials tentatively decided that their caucus would be on that day. “My job as N.H.

So if Nevada does not adjust its caucus date to a later time, I cannot rule out the possibility of a December primary. “We cannot allow the political process to squeeze us into a date that wedges us by just a few days between

Foliage reaching peak in White Mountains CONWAY — The state Office of Tourism and Travel Development in its weekly foliage report Oct. 12 said that foliage is reaching its peak in the White Mountains and is expected to remain at its peak here for at least another week. * Great North Woods Region: Although the foliage is a little past peak in the Great North Woods region, there are still very bright pockets of color throughout the area. Maples are still showing some beautiful reds and oranges and are scattering their leaves across lawns and rivers. Hikers will kick up ash, birch and oak leaves along the trails. Scenic drives on routes 3, 16, 26, 110 and 145 will not disappoint leaf peepers; and with some of the leaves on the ground, the views are wide open now. * White Mountains Region: Autumn has come to life all over the White Mountains region. Interstates, secondary roads, country lanes and mountains views are all drenched in perfect fall color. Look for deep reds, bright oranges, and golden yellows along all of these roads: Routes 2, 3, 16, 49, 112, 115, and 302. Apple picking, hiking, scenic drives, covered bridges, waterfalls, hayrides and more await you in this mountainous part of the state. Expect the colors to last up here for at least another week or so. * Lakes Region: The colors in the Lakes Region have sprung to life overnight! Although there is still plenty of green left, some areas have reached near-peak foliage. The Belknap and Ossipee mountain ranges are bathed in flaming reds and deep oranges, while the colors are scattered around other parts of the region. Lake cruises, airplane rides and mountain hiking are great ways to see the fall foliage here. Travel routes 3, 11, 25, 28, 106, 109 and 113 for colorful views. Judging by the green that’s left, the colors should continue to change for a while longer. * Dartmouth-Lake Sunapee Region: The Dartmouth-Lake Sunapee region is ablaze with glorious autumn colors. Leaf peepers in this area are convinced that this is one of the most brilliant showcases of color yet, and the region is expected to peak by this coming weekend. Look for glowing oranges, deep yellows and bright reds along these roads: Routes 10 and 12A along

the Connecticut River; 4 and 4A; and routes 11, 103, 118, and 120. Consider visiting one of the regions covered bridges or historic sites in your travels. * Monadnock Region: More fall color awaits you in the Monadnock region! Our leaf peepers in this area are reporting lots of crimson reds, bright oranges and golden yellows everywhere. For a really spectacular view, climb one of the many trails to the summit of Mount Monadnock, which is awash with perfect fall colors right now. Meander around the region and explore some of the small towns to get a real taste of the state. Here are some suggested roads for you to travel: Routes 9, 10, 12, 32, and 124. Route 101 is a sure bet for expanded views of the surrounding hills; and for those who decide to venture off the main roads, you’ll be rewarded with beautiful panoramic views. * Merrimack Valley Region: What a difference a few cold nights and warm days have made in the Merrimack Valley region! The area went from mostly green to 60 percent changed almost overnight. Although a small portion of trees have lost their leaves, the remaining foliage is becoming brighter each day. Look for pockets of rust and red leaves lining rivers and streams, and spectrums of reds and oranges surrounding fields and meadows. There is beautiful color nearly everywhere in this region now, so take a right; take a left; and you just might find yourself driving through a tunnel of color on both sides of the road. Try Routes 4, 13, 28, 101, 102, 111, and Interstate 93 for scenic drives. * Seacoast Region: The fall color in the Seacoast region is coming along very nicely, with plenty of peachy oranges, golden yellows, and flaming reds among the green. The colors are a mix that will keep going for a while! Ocean lovers will want to skirt along Route 1A for a beautiful scenic drive, or travel these roads to see the best colors this region has to offer: Routes 1, 27, 85, 88, 107, 108, and 125. Route 4 from Durham to Nottingham is a foliage lovers dream right now. Expect the foliage in this region to peak in another week or so.

happen.” Several Republican Presidential candidates also pledged their support for the Granite State’s tradition. Herman Cain, Michele Bachmann, Gary Johnson and Rick Santorium were among those who met with the N.H. House of Representatives Wednesday morning. “Today’s visit to the New Hampshire House is not strictly about which candidate would be the best alternative to another four years of President Barrack Obama, more importantly it is about the process by which we elect our president,” N.H. House Majority Leader D.J. Bettencourt following the appearance of several presidential candidates before the House. “These men and women who spoke to us today respect New Hampshire’s first-in-the-nation primary status and the long history that goes with it. Unlike any other state holding a presidential primary election, tarmac presidential politics doesn’t exist in New Hampshire. Candidates who campaign for the votes of our citizens know that they have to come here, meet with the voters personally and look them square in the eye when asking for their support, and answer the tough questions. “New Hampshire has been the testing ground for candidates for both parties for nearly 60 years and it’s time that jealous challengers like Florida respect our place in history,” he continued. “Granite Staters are rightly protective of our first-in-the-nation status when it comes to picking the major-party candidates for president and we are willing to trudge through the December snowstorms to defend that status.

two major caucus states. Our primary will have little meaning if states crowd into holding their events just hours after our polls have closed. “The date of our primary is decided by state law, not by the rules or desires of political parties. Since Nevada’s caucus is similar in the eyes of our statute, it means the New Hampshire primary can be set no later than Saturday, Jan. 7. “It’s really up to Nevada. If Nevada does not accept a date of Tuesday, January 17th or later for its caucus, it leaves New Hampshire no choice but to consider December of this year. The dates of Tuesday, Dec. 13, ,and Tuesday, Dec. 6, are realistic options, and we have logistics in place to make either date happen if needed. Candidates have been campaigning here, and elsewhere, for months, and it is about time we begin the next stage of the presidential nominating process. “The political parties did not give New Hampshire its presidential primary. Traditionally, it has been the first in the nation for almost a hundred years, and our state law protects our tradition. We have the largest turnout in the country, and our citizens take their roles and obligations seriously. “But the parties do have an important role in that they can discourage other states from trying to leapfrog onto our tradition. Right now, the problem is the date of Nevada. We will respond as we need to in order to honor New Hampshire’s tradition, and to keep our primary relevant. Not to do so would allow us to lose an important element of American democracy forever. New Hampshire will not let that

sincerely thank the candidates who took time to to come to House today and show their support of our first-in-the-nation primary. I can assure you that we will do whatever we need to do in support of Secretary of State Gardner and his efforts in protecting our firstin-the-nation status.” Governor Jon Huntsman, another candidate for the Republican nomination, said Thursday he will boycott campaigning in Nevada if it moves its caucus up on the calendar. “In an effort to preserve New Hampshire’s historic first-in-the-nation primary status, the Huntsman campaign will boycott the Nevada caucus as long as the state continues to jeopardize New Hampshire’s primary date,” Matt David, Huntsman’s campaign manager, said. “We call on the other campaigns to join us, especially Governor Romney’s campaign given their involvement in moving Nevada’s date forward.” The Huntsman campaign believes Governor Romney’s camp lobbied Nevada to move its date to earlier in January. “It’s unfortunate that the Romney campaign is trying to game the system for their own benefit, at the detriment of Granite Staters,” Paul Collins, Huntsman’s New Hampshire senior adviser, said Monday. “Their move could harm the future of holding the firstin-the-nation primary in New Hampshire. Granite Staters are looking for a chance to meet an alternative candidate who better represents their ideals and is truly authentic.”

George L. McMurtrie

–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– OBITUARY ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA -- George L. McMurtrie, 91, passed away peacefully September 8, 2011 in Las Vegas, Nev. He grew up in Gorham, N.H., the oldest of five children of Douglas and Madeleine McMurtrie. After graduating from Gorham High School in 1937, George went on to earn degrees from Harvard College and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, before enlisting in the U.S. Army in 1943. He proudly served his country for two years in the European Theater of Operations during World War II. Following the war, he resumed his education, earning a PhD in chemical engineering from Pennsylvania State University. George then moved with his young family to the west, and spent the rest of his life living in California, Houston, and Las Vegas. He was employed with Shell Oil Company for over thirty years. In his youth, George developed a passion for the outdoors and loved hiking in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. That passion flourished in his adult years, as he loved hiking, camping and mountain climbing in the great

national parks of the West and traveling to Tibet, Switzerland, and Patagonia. At home, he enjoyed playing bridge, reading the daily newspaper, and watching baseball, especially his beloved Boston Red Sox. He especially enjoyed his periodic visits to Gorham to participate in his high school reunions. George was preceded in death by his son, Douglas. He is survived by his son, Edward (Loretta) of Las Vegas; daughter, Valerie Bonnette of San Diego; daughter-in-law, Christina of Mishawaka, Ind.; brother, David (Virginia) of Bedford, Mass.; sister-in-law, Francoise of Ann Arbor, Mich.; granddaughters, Christie (William) Peck and Lora McMurtrie; and many nieces and nephews. A private burial was held at Lary Cemetery in Gorham.

Report: Children witnessed parents’ murder-suicide

CONCORD — Two children looked on as their father fatally shot their mother in the driveway of their Concord home and then killed himself in June, a report from the attorney general’s office says. The report describes a tumultuous relationship between 25-year-old Sarah Balch and 22-year-old Matthew Balch, who were in a relationship for five years and married for a year. The couple lived on Elm Street with their two daughters, 2 and 5. In the week leading up to the shooting, Sarah told Matthew she was done

with the relationship and wanted a “civil” divorce. She had also told Matthew’s mother, Diane Balch, that she had found another man. The report says Matthew sent Sarah roses at work on Monday, June 13, and cleaned the house as part of his effort to make up with her. At 11 p.m. that day, after Sarah had not returned home, Matthew went looking for her. The report says that when Sarah returned home, she and Matthew got into a heated argument. About 3:45 a.m. Tuesday, Matthew called his

mother and said, “Mom, you better get over here or your grandchildren will wake up with two dead parents,” Diane told investigators. At 7:30 a.m., Diane got a call from Sarah saying Matthew had thrown her against a sliding door. Diane told Sarah to call 911 and Diane took another granddaughter, who was staying with her, and drove to Sarah and Matthew’s house. The report says Diane arrived at the house and saw Sarah in the driveway and Matthew approaching her with a rifle. Diane drove her truck in

between the two, but Matthew walked around the truck and shot Sarah, the report says. Diane grabbed her granddaughter and went to help the couple’s two children who were standing outside the house. The 5-year-old was yelling and asking why “daddy shot mommy,” the report says. Matthew went back into the house, told his mother and children he loved them, and went back outside and shot himself just before police arrived. —Courtesy of WMUR

Making strides against cancer walks planned MANCHESTER — The American Cancer Society will hold its annual Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walks in six local communities this weekend. Many of the participants have personal stories about why they are making the walk. Dr. Carolyn Claussen and her friend, Lynn Merkle, said they will be walking this year to pay it forward. Last year, Claussen was diagnosed with breast cancer, so Merkle said she decided to form the walking team Carolyn’s Crusaders. “The response was overwhelming because so many people were feeling helpless,” Merkle said. She said friends and relatives wanted to help in some way, such as raising money for research. “We proceeded to raise over $11,000 for breast cancer,” Claussen said. Claussen said she beat her cancer and is now taking preventative medicine that didn’t exist years ago. The Making Strides walks will be held on Oct. 16 in Concord, Manchester, Dover, Exeter, Peterborough and North Conway. —Courtesy of WMUR
