Uneasy neighbors

LAURENS, S.C. (NY Times) — The Redneck Shop has been selling Confederate bikinis and white satin robes on the historic courthouse square in this former mill town for so long that most people have learned to ignore it. “The only people who really get caught up and interested in the store are from out of town,� said Sharon Brownlee, the mayor, who is white. “The store causes no problems that I’m aware of.�

That is a matter of perspective. Since 1996, the Rev. David Kennedy, who is black, has been fighting the shop and the Ku Klux Klan leader who runs it.

Now, in a quirk of fate laced with lawsuits, religious conversions and a small-town Southern narrative Harper Lee might deliver, a black pastor will eventually control what just might be the most famous white supremacist shop in America. Last month, a state circuit judge in Greenwood, S.C., decided that Pastor Kennedy’s tiny New Beginning Missionary Baptist Church held the valid title to the old Echo Theater, whose lobby the Redneck Shop occupies.

It was handed over fair and square years earlier by an acolyte of John Howard, the Klan leader who founded the shop.

The building itself has racism in its mortar. It had been a segregated movie theater in a town named after an 18th-century slave trader, Henry Laurens.

Obama to ask Congress for power to merge agencies

Edwards needs heart surgery, delaying trial

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

WASHINGTON (NY Times) — President Obama announced a new campaign on Friday to shrink the federal government, a proposal notable less for its goal — the fight against bloat has been championed by every modern-day president — than for its challenge to a hostile Congress.

Obama called on lawmak-

ers to grant him broad new authority to propose mergers of government agencies, which the Congress would have to approve or reject in an up-ordown vote.

The president, announcing the plan at the White House, said he would begin his pruning exercise by folding the Small Business Administration and

five other agencies involved in trade and business, into a single agency that would replace the Commerce Department.

The White House said the consolidation would save $3 billion over 10 years and result in the elimination of 1,000 to 2,000 jobs, though he said those reductions would occur through attrition rather than layoffs.

U.S. restores ties to Myanmar after reforms WASHINGTON (NY Times) — The United States restored full diplomatic relations with Myanmar on Friday, hours after the new civilian government took a major step in its rapid campaign of political and economic changes, releasing many of its most prominent political prisoners.

The announcement is the latest in a series of cautiously choreographed steps that have eased tensions between the United States and Myanmar and that could remake American diplomacy in Asia, where the Obama administration has sought to refocus its foreign policy. President Obama, in a statement, welcomed the presidential pardon and

release on Friday of 651 prisoners, including prominent leaders of student protests against the country’s military rulers in 1988, a signal uprising. It was the most significant release of political prisoners by the newly elected government and answered a primary demand of Western nations and the opposition leader, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi. Obama called it “a substantial step forward for democratic reform.�

Hillary Rodham Clinton, who in December became the first secretary of state to visit Myanmar since 1955, later announced that the United States would send an American ambassador back to the country for the first time in more than two decades.

WAR HORSE

GREENSBORO, N.C. (NY Times) — The criminal trial of John Edwards has been delayed until at least March because he has a heart condition that requires surgery, a federal judge said Friday.

Judge Catherine C. Eagles of United States District Court here said that Edward’s recovery from the unspecified ailment could be threatened if he stood trial this month, as scheduled, on campaign finance charges. The judge said she was heeding the recommendations of Edwards’s cardiologist.

The trial was scheduled to begin Jan. 30. Edwards, a former Democratic senator from North Carolina and vice presidential nominee in 2004, is accused of illegally using donations from two wealthy supporters to pay his pregnant mistress during his 2008 presidential campaign. If convicted, he faces a maximum penalty of 30 years in prison and $1.5 million in fines.

Edwards will have surgery in February and is taking heart medication, Judge Eagles said. Mr. Edwards, who appeared at the courthouse, did not discuss his medical condition.

Romney on top in new poll WASHINGTON (CNN) -- It’s amazing what back to back wins can do for your poll numbers.

One-time Republican presidential front-runner Mitt Romney is back on top in the race for the GOP nomination, according to a new national survey.

A CNN/ORC International poll, conducted on Wednesday and Thursday after the New Hampshire primary, also indicates that the former Massachusetts governor’s support nearly doubles in hypothetical one-on-one match-ups against his strongest rivals.

According to the survey, 34% of Republicans and independents who lean towards the GOP say they’re likely to support the former Massachusetts governor for the nomination, with former House Speaker Newt Gingrich at 18%, and Rep. Ron Paul of Texas and former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania each at 15%.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry stands at 9% in the poll, with former Utah Gov. and former ambassador to China Jon Huntsman at 4%.

Romney and Gingrich were tied at 28% support in CNN’s last national survey, which was conducted in midDecember, before Romney’s narrow victory in last week’s Iowa caucuses and his big win Tuesday night in the New Hampshire primary. Romney became the first non-incumbent to win Iowa and New Hampshire back to back.

Gingrich finished out of the money in Iowa and New Hampshire. Romney edged up six points while Gingrich dropped ten points since the last poll.

Paul, who came in third in Iowa and a strong second in New Hampshire, has inched up a point, while Santorum, who lost to Romney by just eight votes in Iowa before coming in fifth in New Hampshire, is up 11 points.

“Romney’s increased support has come entirely from conservative

Republicans, and mostly at Gingrich’s expense. Romney has actually lost support among moderate Republicans,” says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. “And most of Romney’s newfound strength has come among higher-income categories - he has gained only three points among GOPers with less than $50,000 but 11 points among those who make more than that amount.”

The poll also looks at hypothetical two-man matchups for the GOP nomination, with Romney leading Gingrich 59-37%, beating Santorum 60%-37%, and topping Paul 67-31%.

But Romney is certainly not unstoppable. Only 37% say they definitely will support the candidate they are currently backing, with 56 percent saying they might change their mind.

And the poll indicates Romney has some weaknesses.

Paul, for example, is a little bit ahead of him when Republicans are asked which candidate cares most about people. Gingrich tops Romney when Republicans are asked to name the candidate who is most qualified to be Commander-in-Chief.

But Romney continues to have one ace up his sleeve - electability. Seven in ten Republicans say that they prefer a candidate who can beat Obama to one who agrees with them on every issue, and 55% believe that Romney has the best chance of defeating Obama in the general election.

“That’s the biggest advantage of winning a race, such as Iowa or New Hampshire. Candidates who have won something look like winners; candidates who lost look like losers,” says Holland.

“Iowa and New Hampshire are probably a major reason why the number of Republicans who think Romney can beat Obama rose by 19 points since December while the number who think Gingrich has the best chance in November dropped by nearly two-thirds in that time.”

Kennett High to host robotics competition today

BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — Kennett High School host the first MWV robotics competition in the gymnasium TOday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The event is drawing high school and middle school robotics teams from across the Granite State and Maine.

The competition is a test of skill, strategy and team effort. Schools scheduled to compete include Trinity High from Manchester, Pembroke Academy from Pembroke, Timberlane Regional from Plaistow, Winnacunnet High from Hampton, Greely High from Cumberland, Maine, and the Kennett Krew from MWV FIRST. Admission is free to the public.

Food will be provided by Tim Remillard’s Catering, and MWV FIRST will be raffling a new Lego NXT 2.0

robotic kit along with other valuable items to raise money to participate in future events across the state.

MWV FIRST is the brainchild of Dan Mac Leon, who heads the computer technology department at Kennett High School. He got the ball rolling this summer and found several people who shared his passion, and the dream of a robotics club became a realty last fall.

“Not only is this our first competition, but it’s our first time hosting an event too,” he said. “We thought we might as well jump in with both feet.”

Mac Leon said a number of people within the community have contributed their time and money to support robotics in the Mount Washington Valley: including: Dan and Judy Kennedy of Whitehorsegear.com; Jac Cuddy from the Mount Washington Valley Economic Council; Ron and Leeann Sandstrom from RLSand.com; Time Warner Cable; Vicky

MacDougall; Sue Marjerison; Christine Thomson; Josh Purdy; Brant Sandborn; Kennett High School; the Mount Washington Valley Career and Technical Center; Paul Scribner Robotics Lab; and Peg Grondin of Snow Pond Design.

“MWV FIRST is all about getting STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) programing into the local school system K-12,” Mac Leon said.

MWV FIRST is a takeoff of New Hampshire inventor Dean Kamen’s FIRST — For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology — program.

Students from Kennett High, Josiah Bartlett Elementary School and Kennett Middle School have also started clubs under the MWV FIRST umbrella and will be competing in the event. Bill McKay is working with a team at Kennett Middle School while Jimi Emery has a similar team at Josiah Bartlett.

“The opportunity to connect with kids is so reward-

ing,” Mac Leon said.

According to its website (mwvfirst.com), “Mount Washington Valley FIRST’s main focus is to provide an arena for students from K-12 to become involved first-hand in the planning, designing, programming, and the creation of their very own robot.

“Students, teachers and professional mentors work together to prepare small student groups for rewarding and exciting competition. Local, regional and national events end each year’s FIRST major challenges.

“These challenges help prepare students to understand the practical applications of their core curriculum: science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Record-keeping and documentation round out the necessary skills all groups will need to successfully compete.

“MIT’s credo of mens et manus — mind and hand — is what MWV FIRST is all about.”

This will be a VEX competition. “The VEX Robotics Design System offers students an exciting platform for learning about areas rich with career opportunities spanning science, technology, engineering and math (STEM),” the VEX website states. “These are just a few of the many fields students can explore by creating with VEX Robotics technology. Beyond science and engineering principles, a VEX Robotics project encourages teamwork, leadership and problem solving among groups. It also allows educators to easily customize projects to meet the level of students’ abilities. The affordable VEX platform is expanding rapidly and is now found in middle see next page

Former Fryeburg resident Mary-Lou Nash returns home to Maine for Christmas from South African vineyard

BY TOM EASTMAN

They’re currently on summer school vacation, as hard as that is for Northern Hemisphere types to grasp here in what is winter in Mount Washington Valley.

“They held the snowballs in their hands on the car ride up from Boston to Fryeburg and my sister’s in Brownfield. We had to stop every time they saw a snowbank that had been piled up by the snowplows. After about a half-hour, they were telling me, ‘Mummy, our hands are tingling. They’re going numb! What’s happening? ‘ ” laughed Mary-Lou, a class of 1985 Fryeburg Academy alum who graduated with a degree in anthropology from the University of New Hampshire in 1989.

Even though she has come back to Fryeburg on average every three years from South Africa, that’s usually during Fryeburg Fair week, always a good time of the year to be marketing her wines. Whenever she is home, she regularly meets with her Portland-based wine distributor.

But last week marked her first time for Christmas

THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

FRYEBURG, Maine — Most years, winemaker Mary-Lou Nash, 44, and her two young daughters spend their Christmas at the beach.

Not this year.

That’s because Mary-Lou and daughters Hanna, 9, and Francesca, 8 — granddaughters of Dr. Mary Nash of Fryeburg, Maine, and former valley resident Dr. Lance Nash, of Paarl, South Africa — this year spent the holidays in Mount Washington Valley, enjoying their first-ever experience with snow, skiing at Shawnee Peak, skating at the Ham Ice Arena and mountain coastering at Cranmore Mountain Resort.

They even got to ride the Believe in Books Literacy Foundation’s Polar Express.

Kennett High principal Neal Moylan is looking forward to the event and is such a believer in the benefits of robotics that he has created a course in it next year at the high school.

“I think it’s extremely exciting to see this come to life,” he said. “I hope (the course) will be approved in the program of studies (by the SAU 9 Board later this month and the Conway School Board next month).

It’s all about arming the students with the skills for tomorrow.”

“We’ve received wonderful support,” Mac Leon, who will teach robotics if the course is approved, said. “It makes me happy to feel so much support from my administrators Neal Moylan and Lori Babine (director of the MWV Career and Technical Center).

I know there’s interest out there. I’ve had calls from the K.A. Brett School (in Tamworth) and other schools in the area asking how can we get involved.”

“We went to Shawnee Peak. My kids couldn’t believe that I could do it. It was my first time on shape skis. It was like riding a bike,” said Mary-Lou, former ski team captain during her four years at Fryeburg Academy.

The well-traveled Nashes Mary-Lou is one of four children in a family that includes younger sister Annabel, who teaches in Fryeburg; former U.S. cross-country ski Olympian Marcus Nash, the youngest in the family and now a commercial airline pilot for Cafe Pacific, and oldest brother Mac, now of Concord, Mass. Her doctor parents were divorced several years ago.

After college, Mary-Lou and Annabel went to Japan to teach English to students there for two years. The two sisters then traveled in Asia for

While they were overseas traveling, their father had divested of his American real estate holdings so he could follow-through on buying a 500-acre farm in South Africa.

DIGEST OF STORIES IN THE SUN THIS WEEK

Saturday, Jan. 7 * Some presidential candidates believe the upclose-and-personal "retail" politics of New Hampshire are becoming a thing of the past, giving way to campaigns more reliant on the Internet and televised debates. * Mitt Romney leads in the polls heading into the New Hampshire primary, but it's been a year of ups and downs for all the candidates. * A skier and two climbers are caught in two separate avalanches on Mount Washington.

Tele-Talk Is New Hampshire’s “retail” style of politics still relevant?

New Hampshire is in the rearview mirror for presidential candidates as they look toward the next primary on Jan. 21 in South Carolina. During the course of the long campaign season leading up to the first-in-the-nation primary, questions were raised about the relevance of the up-close-and-personal “retail” style of politics for which New Hampshire is known. Some candidates themselves concede that the Internet and televised debates are slowly take the place of handshakes as the way to reach voters. “I wouldn’t suggest to New Hampshire that it quit being a lead state and a retail state,” said former Louisiana governor Buddy Roemer, “but the power of that has diminished.” But Mitt Romney, who won the Republican primary on Tuesday, said, “In New Hampshire, I still believe it’s town meetings, voter-to-voter contact, that creates the word of mouth that wins it in the final analysis.”

This week’s question is: Is New Hampshire’s “retail” style of politics still relevant?

Mitt Romney wins the N.H. Republican primary: “It doesn’t matter who wins.

No new taxes. He just called them “fees.” And a mandatory health care plan that sucks.” — Penny Felix Michalski “Obama never really had a chance, with so many Republicans not allowing anything to pass. We need more Democrats in Congress so Obama can make a difference, otherwise we will see no change either way.”

NATIONAL PERSPECTIVE

Momentum If Not Passion New Hampshire shrugged. From the beach towns in the east to the mountain hamlets in the North Country, in the urban centers of midstate and through the creeping suburbs of the south, the state that regards itself as the great, if often cranky, arbitrator of presidential politics told America that its neighbor Mitt Romney was good enough to be the GOP nominee, but maybe not sparkly enough to ignite a Republican romance.

The first primary sent Romney, a former Massachusetts governor, onto the next round as the undisputed front-runner in the Republican sweepstakes. It provided him with momentum, if not passion, as the campaign swings south, first to South Carolina next Saturday and then to Florida at month's end. He's the man to beat, and there are strong indications that there is no one in this field who can beat him.

Still, New Hampshire 2012 will be remembered for two important questions, one political and one philosophical, that emerged from a week of intense face-to-face campaigning that verged on riveting hand-to-hand combat.

The first is the weakness of the front-runner, who for the second week in a row drew about the same portion of the vote as he did four years earlier against a tougher, more diverse and overall more interesting field of rivals.

The second is the profound introspection these Republicans set in motion about the character of capitalism, unusual in any party but without precedent in the Republican Party perhaps since 1912.

For nearly a week, Romney's record as a crusading consultant rushing in to salvage profits amid corporate wreckage was at the center of the Republican debate. This was not the way the former Bain Capital chief, who has relentlessly portrayed himself as a business savior rather than a job wrecker, had remotely intended. From all corners of a party that once was considered the curator of capitalism came an assault on Romney and important questions about the human costs of corporate restructuring and the moral consequences of bottom-line success and CEO compensation.

This, perhaps more than the results of New Hampshire, has the capacity to shift the American conversation, which remains preoccupied with the question of job creation and economic growth. The hard-boiled burghers of the north, the shopkeepers of the lake country and the new-age entrepreneurs of the shiny, high-tech south unexpectedly found themselves in the middle of a raucous debate over the rectitude of corporate downsizing and whether outside consultants, armed with spreadsheets and MBAs, should be celebrated for what former House Speaker Newt Gingrich derided as "looting a company."

That is the language one expects in the precincts of an Occupy tent community, not in a Republican primary in a state that voted twice for both Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan. What broke out in New Hampshire was class warfare of a distinct sort, waged by men of mostly modest upbringings against a onetime corporate warrior with impeccable establishment credentials.

In a way, the attack against Romney — an assault, it must be noted, that he parried with some elan — was itself an eloquent statement about American social mobility, the predominant theme of this campaign.

Romney's father, who picked potatoes and worked

construction before climbing to the chairmanship of American Motors Corp., was one of the striving survivors of the Great Depression. He was the son of a carpenter living a subsistence and then a rootless, debt-ridden childhood in Texas, California, Idaho and Utah. He did not hold a college degree.

Now the son, who Tuesday night described the new GOP critique of capitalism as "such a mistake for our party and for our nation," is the first Republican in a generation to win contested races in New Hampshire and Iowa, though the latter came by only eight votes. No matter. This permits Romney to wheel into South Carolina as a formidable force, a significant factor in a party thirsty to end the presidency of Barack Obama. Indeed, a new Gallup Poll indicated Romney was the only candidate a majority of conservative and moderate/liberal Republicans regarded as an "acceptable" nominee.

Even so, there could be danger signals in what Romney called his "Granite State moment" Tuesday night. He polled substantially less than Sen. Edmund S. Muskie of Maine, another New Hampshire neighbor, who in 1972 was regarded as the unassailable front-runner, but whose 46 percent showing was regarded as unimpressive, even fatal.

Muskie polled only 9 percentage points ahead of Sen. George S. McGovern of South Dakota, but Romney four decades later has no challenger remotely as skilled as those in the 1972 class.

The contender who exceeded expectations was former Gov. Jon Huntsman of Utah, whose third-place showing provided him the oxygen to continue. A former U.S. ambassador to Beijing, Huntsman staked all on New Hampshire, much as former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania staked all on Iowa. Appealing in large measure to independents, Huntsman, who made some 170 appearances in the state, has the grit but probably not the support to be a factor going forward. In contrast, Santorum, who embraces many of the social-conservative issues that a substantial part of the GOP voting base feels haven't won a sufficient airing, can hope for a more congenial environment in South Carolina.

Rep. Ron Paul of Texas, whose strong secondplace finish once again showed he has a solid core of supporters — Tuesday night they chanted "President Paul" as he addressed them — underlined that he could force the Republican contest to continue longer than Republican strategists might hope. Whether he mounts an independent candidacy, endangering the GOP's hopes in November, is Campaign 2012's biggest unknown.

But Tuesday was Romney's night, not the best night a Republican front-runner has enjoyed but much better than the one Sen. Bob Dole, skunked by conservative commentator Patrick J. Buchanan, experienced in 1996.

For the second straight week, Romney at best can say he, and what he described as "our cause," won. At worst, he can claim he did not lose. If that continues, he could win the nomination by not losing, which against a weak president could be just enough to transform American politics.

This sweet girl is very peopleoriented and goes out of her way to get your attention. She does not seem to like the other cats in the condo and goes out of her way to avoid them. This leads us to think that she may not have lived with other cats before and would do best in a home where she is the center of attention. She has such a personality that she will easily give as much love as she takes. Visit Zoe at Pet Life in Windham in the Shaw’s Plaza.

Staring intently into little black boxes To the editor: OK, I get it, the technoworld has passed me by.

I have no computer, no iPhone, iPad, Blackberry or feel the need to be plugged in every second of the day.

This summer I really witnessed the appalling state our communication skills are in. I saw parents sitting in coffee shops madly jabbing at their “little black boxes,” while their bored and ignored offspring sat and stared or ran around unnoticed, with no one to talk to, no one to show them the beautiful puppy that just walked by the window, to tell them about Mount Cranmore — to — just be there!

I saw a very pregnant woman staring intently at yet another “black box” as she stepped off the curb

into a busy parking lot, completely oblivious.

Who notices their surroundings anymore? Who heard that cardinal singing? They cannot, their ears are plugged!

The mere fact that millions spend hours making “friends on Facebook instead of really getting involved in life is pretty scarey! Apparently they have lost their ability to make real, flesh and blood friends. Of course, computers are invaluable for teaching and learning, but we’ve let technology rule our lives. Common sense and moderation have flown out the window — a fact unnoticed by all the “screen gazers.” How sad!

Why would people choose to eat to destroy?

To the editor: Anyone who wants to stem the tide of disease and environmental (another word for creation) suicide, once and for all should watch the movie trailer on www.Foodmatters.tv at http://www.rawfor30days. com/RawFor30/12-2011half-off-tv.html.

If eating this way saves people’s lives — optimizes children’s health and immunity; will ultimately drastically reduce “health care” costs; save the lives of tens of billions of farmed animals that live in horrific conditions and are sick from stress, filth, and injured regularly while being treated with contempt by their abductors; will help

rejuvenate a planet that is slowly starting to burn from carbon emissions, 18 percent of which come from animal agriculture; would free up vast areas of land to grow human food, currently used to grow soy, corn, wheat, for livestock feed that uses every pesticide, herbicide, fungicide known to be carcinogens, while polluting water sources — why would people with free will eat to destroy? It is illogical and just plain insane!

We take better care of our road infrastructure than we do our bodily infrastructure, the one thing that gives us life. Occupy Health. Choose Life.

Finally, snow! Mother Nature comes through in time for Martin Luther King Jr. weekend Page 14 — THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Saturday, January 14, 2012

BY TOM EASTMAN THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — Mother Nature came through in a big way in time for the start of the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend, as ski touring and alpine resorts in Mount Washington Valley received up to 9 inches of natural snow Thursday and Friday.

“This is great. We could end up with 10 inches, because it's still snowing here in Bartlett now,” said a very enthused Doug Garland of Bear Notch Ski Touring and Snowshoe Center Friday afternoon, as groomers headed out along the Saco River Trails and alongside Albany Brook on the Waterfall Trail, which leads into the Bartlett Experimental Forest.

Thomas Prindle of Attitash Mountain Resort and Wildcat Ski Area was equally ecstatic.

“Seven inches of new snow and it's winter for real. Wandering Skis is open with 13 acres of topto-bottom intermediate terrain on Bear Peak,” said Prindle Friday.

It was the first substantial snowstorm of the season, and it added to the snow that snowmakers have been able to lay down at alpine resorts. The natural snowfall was especially appreciated by crosscountry ski centers, as all are now open and are grooming more terrain for the three-day holiday weekend.

Some of the precipitation Friday fell as freezing rain, but that helped to cement down the base.

The only downside was that the National Weather Service in Gray, Maine, was predicting that temperatures would plummet as the weekend progressed — but as some wise outdoors enthusiast once said, there is no such thing as bad weather; just inappropriate clothing choices.

So, be forewarmed, er, forewarned — bundle up!

The forecast called for warmer tempera-

tures and sunny skies for the actual holiday on Monday, making it a perfect day for skiing, riding, cross-country skiing, sleigh rides, skating or snowshoeing.

Another good note: the Patriots and Broncos do not play until 8 p.m. Saturday, leaving plenty of time for skiing and dining prior to the kickoff.

Mary-Lou Nash has a beautiful vineyard in South Africa.

NASH from page eight

her family, was born in England, later lived in Canada, and came to Fryeburg in 1975 when she was a third grader.

She had planned to stay on for a year at her father’s in South Africa, helping with the farm.

“That was in 1995. I never left,” she laughed in a recent interview at The Conway Daily Sun. “I’ve now lived in South Africa longer than I have ever lived anywhere.”

She arrived soon after the end of the apartheid system of racial segregation in South Africa.

A land of beauty — and fine wine Beautiful fields, leading in the distance to blue mountain peaks — it made for a captivating draw when Mary-Lou first visited South Africa 16 years ago.

Located a 40-minute drive north of Cape Town, the farm sees temperatures of 60 degrees at the lowest in winter, and as high as 100 in summer, but the air is arid and dry, with cool breezes from the nearby Atlantic Ocean making things pleasant.

For Mary-Lou, the true lure was the farm’s potential as a vineyard.

“We convened at the farm that February [of 1996]. We had a crew, and we had white grapes that tasted great,” said Mary-Lou. “It seemed that they were ready and that they should be

(COURTESY PHOTO)

picked. I asked where was the equipment?”

That was on a Friday. Mary-Lou, her father, his wife, two of the hired men and their wives picked for a day, and brought the yield of white grapes to a local co-op.

“I drove the tractor over. Where we live, a woman would never do such a thing — you should have seen the stares I got!” said Mary-Lou. The next day, Mary-Lou said “no one could move,” their muscles ached so much.

She hired more workers to carry on the harvest, picking them up at the train station that Monday.

“We delivered 50 tons to the co-op,” she said.

Workers helped to repair the tractor and other equipment. She says she only hires workers who make sure their own children are going to school, as she is a strong believer in education in the post-Apartheid world of South Africa.

She was hooked on wine-making once she took the plunge — even though she says she had never partaken of wine before she moved to South Africa.

“I told my dad to pay me my room and food, and I would run the place for a year,” said Mary-Lou, noting that she later renegotiated the deal see next page

and has stayed on, living in one of the cottages on the property while her father lives in the main house, having retired from Rochester’s Frisbee Hospital in 2001.

“I made lots of friends with the winemakers, and I took classes. I just finished my wine-master course, which is a five-year program — I did it in two years, which they tell me was the quickest of anybody. I am a Nash, after all! I am the first American to complete the course,” she beamed.

Shiraz and Cabernet In 1997 and 1998, she planted Cabernet and Shiraz vines.

In 2001, she harvested her first vintage of red wine — she and her father christened it “Black Pearl Shiraz,” with only 4,000 bottles being made.

The name has no relation to Johnny Depp’s ship in “Pirates of the Caribbean” — it has to do with the name of the rocky mountaintop in her area, Paarl Mountain.

“It is the second largest granite outcrop after Ayers Rock in Australia.

When it rains, it looks like a black pearl. So, no, the name of the wine is not from a Johnny Depp movie — though I wouldn’t mind if he wanted to endorse it!” laughs Mary-Lou. She later added a Cabernet Sauvignon and a Shiraz/Cabernet Sauvignon to her portfolio.

Later married, and now divorced, she has now produced 16,000 vines — and two beautiful daughters, who help on the farm, attend school, and also are models for American companies.

“It [the modeling] is all going toward their college tuition,” notes Mary-Lou, who says American companies come to South Africa to shoot commercials because of its predictably fair skies.

“Since I have been home, I have photographs of the girls in two catalogs.

They have great personalities, so yeah, I am putting them to work for their college!”

Her mother, Dr. Mary Nash, comes over from Fryeburg every March to

help watch over the girls while MaryLou oversees the busiest time of the harvest at the end of the South African summer.

“I am trying to talk my mom into doing charity [medical] work in South Africa and to steal her away from the valley for a full year. But, she has other grandchildren she has to go to,” said Mary-Lou. Their Rhenosterkop Farm borders the Paarl Mountain Nature Reserve and is part of a World Heritage area that contains much of the mere 3 percent of renosterveld left in the country.

Mary-Lou notes that her family wants to assist in conserving this area and has designated 184 ha of pristine Swartland shale renosterveld as a “Contract Conservation Area” with Cape Nature.

“This will conserve the renosterveld and granite fynbos on the farm for future generations to enjoy,” she said, adding, “Conservation is also a vital part of the terroir of Black Pearl see next page

Wines. Without the renosterveld the soil, our farm would not be filled with enough nutrients or moisture, there would be terrible soil erosion and Black Pearl Wines just wouldn’t be the same.”

Lance Nash is an active member of the Western Cape Conservation Stewardship Association and the Biodiversity and Wine Initiative, she said.

‘Like Maine blueberries’ As for the wine, it is now much prized.

“My first vintage earned a 93 point score in Wine International Magazine,” said Mary-Lou. “My next vintage scored 93 points in Wine Spectator Magazine, and my latest vintage got 91 points from Robert Parker — he is the American wine guru. My first production was 4,000 bottles — in 2010, we produced about 4,000 cases of 12 bottles each, or 48,000.”

Her biggest market is North America.

She said her Shiraz was wellreceived from the beginning.

“It is so rich, and soft — and velvety,” said Mary-Lou. The secret has a lot to do with the dry climate.

“My vineyard is all dry land, with no irrigation,” said Mary-Lou. “It tastes like Maine blueberries, like blueberry pie The grapes don’t look like grapes, they look like blueberries, because they grow really small because it is so dry. I can fit into the size of this table half a ton at a time. All I add is yeast.

The skins rise to the top due to the CO2 so keep stirring it to make sure get the color.

“Most do it in massive tanks pumping wine over, but ours is all hand done. Our focus is to produce limited quantities of high-quality grapes.

From berry to bottle, it’s a complete hands-on family experience,” said Mary-Lou, adding, “We are not planning to substantially increase our production, preferring to remain diligent in our pursuit of wines of distinction.”

Going to Disney World She just got word that her Shiraz is going to be served at Disney World and Disneyland’s white table cloth restaurants. She also just received word from her distributor that it is going to be carried in 2012 on American Airlines flights.

Her Black Pearl Shiraz is available locally at the Good Beer Store in Fryeburg. It sells for $18.99 a bottle.

She is hoping to market it to the Oxford House, Stone Mountain Arts Center and Weston’s Farm Stands before she heads back to South Africa after the first of the year.

Is it financially viable?

“It’s a great lifestyle — I will never get completely rich from it, but I never go thirsty, and it pays for the kids’ school tuition fees,” said Mary-Lou. And, for airfare home to Fryeburg for three South African residents. *** Black Pearl Shiraz is available at the Good Beer Store in Fryeburg (207256-8110). It is imported by Southern Starz (www.southerntars.com) and is distributed in Maine by South Portland Wine Company (207-856-1780; www.sopowine.com).

‘Dew’ing it again When Liz Adams spotted Frank Tansey standing near the race registration tables at Cranmore, she made a beeline straight for him.

"We missed you last year," she said enthusiastically. "Do you remember me?"

"Of course," he said, and then turned to a columnist. "See that's what I was talking about."

The Mountain Dew Vertical Challenge is a long-standing recreational ski and snowboard race series attracting thousands of people across the Northeast. Now in its 22nd season, Frank Tansey is the man behind giant slalom competition that awards winners with gold, silver and bronze medals and all participants with swag. He founded it.

The series got under way Dec. 17 at New York's Hunter Mountain and wound its way to the valley last weekend to return to Cranmore after a year lapse Saturday and then to Bartlett and Attitash Sunday. The competition will be back Jan. 16 at King Pine, Feb. 4 at Shawnee Peak and February 22 at Black Mountain. The finals are scheduled for March 31 at southern Vermont's Mount Snow.

"The event brings in many different types of skiers and riders, from those who like to follow the circuit throughout New England resorts to those who have never raced before and are just

looking for some new on-snow challenges," explained King Pine's Dan Houde. "At King Pine it also tends to pull in quite a few families who enter just for the fun of it and love all the prizes and awards at the end. We also have plenty of staff interest who enjoy a some friendly competition against each other. Overall it makes for a fun

day on the slopes and always lots of great memories."

Tansey always maintains that skiers and riders follow the race, and often plan their winter vacations around it.

And there was Adams of Westwood, Massachusetts , as if on cue, commending Tansey and the race.

"I don't ski," she held holding race bibs for her two children, Jillian, 11, and Richard, 9. "But my kids have a blast. They're pumped up to do it again, their fourth time. I have an 11 year-old and she wanted to get here early. Getting an early start from an 11 year-old to do anything isn't easy." see next page

Her children are in Cranmore's Rattlesnake program. So entrenched in the ski culture now, the Adams bought a condo in the valley and are weekend warriors.

The Grinnings of Newburyport, Massachusetts also are Dew doers for the third time now. Victoria, 13, Abby, 11 and Phineas, 6, either race or use the event as a fundraiser for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, a Dew Tour partner, according to mom Jennifer.

Abby and sister last year raised four thousand dollars in a coin drive before the finals. The year before, the duo collected two thousand dollars.

"I do it for the fun, but I also like racing for the Make-A-Wish Foundation," Abby said. "I like to see the kids smile."

She also believes the race improves her skiing. She once won a bronze medal.

"I feel every time I do this I get better," she said.

Families and loyalty are the crux of the event.

In terms of family, Tansey's two boys now work for the Tour.

"They weren't even born when this started," she said.

Then he pointed over to the registration table to another employee.

"She started doing the race when she was seven," he said.

"Now she part of the crew."

The event shows generations of families coming to ski and ride. Grandparents, parents and children sign up. Tansey hears a lot from racers schussing down memory lane about racing through the gates.

He also spots trends.

"We are definitely seeing it going back to more skiers than snowboarders," he said. "I think the terrain parks are attracting the

snowboarders and the twin tips."

He also sees a trend that he doesn't like.

"Helmets are disappearing," he said. "We try to re-enforce and encourage helmet use. We can't force them to wear them, but we do encourage them to follow the code, be smart and be safe."

The series is also expanding into adaptive skiing with many resorts in the southern and central part of the state — Gunstock, Pats Peak, Sunapee and Crotched—actively encouraging local programs to participate.

"This really makes it a special day for them," he said.

Valley skiers and riders might notice something different too about the Tour this season.

"We've changed some of the dates around the valley," Tansey said. "We got away from vacation weeks and are trying to generate excitement during other times."

DAVID EASTMAN

Country Ecology: Watching birds at the feeder “It is impossible not to be a bird watcher.” So said a flyer once mailed to me from the National Geographic Society encouraging buying, “Complete Birds of North America.” I suppose this is a true statement if one thinks about it. These avian creatures are mesmerizing, and of all of nature’s species, offer us no threat as many mammals do. Birds just add to our joy of experiencing nature in winter.

They can see better than we do and apparently their superb vision can even detect things in the ultraviolet range. Birds use color to identify foods. They can be daily visitors to the feeding station or surprise to us wherever we find ourselves, posing us to ask the question, “Whatever is that bird?!” And we ask a nearby companion, or hurry to the book shelf searching through a treasured bird identification book or two to find out what that new intruder is. This can be important or elusive, but bugs us when we don’t immediately know what the new species is. We continue to ask around, and consult some friend who is might be more authoritive than ourselves, always being worth the phone call.

We note that the more we watch birds, the more we wonder about them as our knowledge progresses. We want to be more confident than just identification. Somehow knowing what

birds we see is comforting songbirds tell us something about our existence here on of our whereabouts in ecologithis earth, living along with cal processes. other creatures.

delighted having these seed eaters at feeders, while Wild Bird Centers and Wild Birds Unlimited franchises just a few states above may be having very limited sunflower seed sales for that season. The birds are just not there, and foot traffic diminishes in these retail businesses considerably as a result. There is not much mark-up in selling bags of “meaties” and black oil, but it makes folks wander in for refills and buying other products on an impulse basis.

I have sometimes felt if the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service interviewed such outlets for our bird watching hobby, some interesting data would result.

Irruptions from the northern boreal forest could be tracked, and seasonal migrations noted. Go into any bird feeding store, and it is not unusual to see a black board about noticing feeding stations’ visitors, describing local contributions for the birdlore of what we are mutually enjoying. It extends the tranquil feeling of neighborliness in New England villages.

caught his fly in a tree behind him he turned quickly to free the fly and lost his balance. As mentioned he went in up to his neck. In order to get back to shore he had to swim for it. He did have the presence of mind to hang on to his rod. The odd thing about anglers who fall is that they just about always will hold onto their rod despite the life threatening predicament that they are in. On the couple of occasions that I have fallen, both times I kept a death grip on my rod. I guess you could say that the key words there are “death grip.”

Once on shore, Nate took the time to untangle his fly from the tree before heading back to his car. Fortunately, he had a change of warm clothes in the car. Nate had a couple of other things going for him: he is young and in good shape. Someone without those attributes, like me, might have been

in a lot more trouble.

All and all it turned out well, but things like this do make you think.

Things like this happen all the time with much worse results. If you do fish this time of year, especially if you intend to wade, be sure to fish with a friend.

Dressing for the occasion is very important. Be sure to dress in layers and wear anything except blue jeans. Having an extra set of clothes to change into isn’t a bad idea either. Be aware of your surroundings at all time. I nearly got bowled over by a large chunk of ice one afternoon, fortunately, Janet noticed it and was able to warn me in time to get out of the way. Winter fishing can be a lot of fun, but it can be dangerous.

See you on the river.

Inside ski carving makes two What a difference a week makes.

The only disappointing aspect to the great skiing we now have available to us is that Thursday’s snow covers up the amazing work all the valley snowmakers have done in the past week.

Again, big thanks to the offensive linemen of the ski industry-our hard working snow makers.

“I’m really having trouble with how to carve with my inside ski.” We worked on this just the other day. Dial this skill in and all conditions become more fun.

Best of all-the best days (powder days and spring ski days) are way more fun when you master skiing with both skis.

First of all, find a flat spot, and look down at your boots and skis while you stand still. Roll your ankles and knees so that your skis go up on edge (make sure you add cuff pressure forward as you do this-always and every time) and look at the inside ski. If you are having trouble creating an edge angle, try rolling that arch (foot part) off the snow. Some people roll their ankles out to get the inside ski on edge, and others roll their arch off the snow to accomplish the same thing. It’s all good. Do this a few times in each direction to master what you do to get the skis on edges while staying forward, and now you’re ready to ski it.

Ski time — try this for improving your inside ski carving-find some flat novice terrain, and remember to flex down into your boots to get started.

Drill — on the novice terrain, start doing two ski carves, and work on one leg at a time. Keep 90 percent of your weight on your right leg as you carve back and forth making those two ski carves. Very quickly you’ll discover how much of a move it takes to balance on the inside ski when you carve in that direction. Make 10 to 20 carves with your right leg doing most of the work, and then make your left leg the 90 percent leg for another 10 to 20 turns.

Being able to focus on one leg at a time, you’ll quickly make the adjustments necessary to make that inside ski work.

While you are “educating” your inside leg, your outside leg is doing what it knows how to do well. Keep your inside leg focus going for the day, and slowly adjust your weight distribution to suit your liking. End of day, you’ll be laying down two ski carve tracks with the best of them.

Deep winter farmers’ market Saturday TAMWORTH — The Tamworth Farmers’ Market will be holding a mid-winter farmer’s market Saturday at Tamworth Town House.

The Tamworth farmers’ market is committed to encouraging local agriculture and increasing our supply and consumption of local food as a stepping stone toward a more sustainable Tamworth and surrounding area.

The market is beginning its sixth successful year of operation with high hopes of offering a farmers’ market in every month of the year. The market has run weekly on Saturday mornings from Memorial Day through Columbus Day, with two large indoor markets before Thanksgiving and Christmas. Now, in keeping with its mission to encourage local agriculture throughout the year, it has scheduled two “deep winter” markets for Jan.

14 and Feb. 11. Both markets will be held at the Tamworth Town House in Tamworth Village from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., across the street from the Remick Farm and Museum which will also be open. The Feb. 11 market will coincide with the Remick Farm’s very popular Ice Harvest Festival.

Shoppers will be able to buy ingredients to make hearty meals of pork, lamb, grass fed beef, turnips, spinach, carrots, potatoes, squash, onions, whole grain breads, yogurt, raw milk, cheese, maple syrup, honey, jams and jellies and baked goods. A hot lunch from local ingredients will also be available with hot chocolate or cold cider to wash it down.

Any questions regarding this Saturday’s Jan. 14 market should be directed to co-managers Bob Streeter 323-2392 and Peg Loughran 323-2368.

‘Ponds would be my mountaintops’

Black Mountain Pond. (ED PARSONS PHOTO)

Hiking –––––

This past Wednesday, the day before the snow storm, I wanted to take a long walk Ed Parsons to say goodbye to the snowless conditions (hopefully for the rest of the winter). Using boot

traction on the icy ground, I thought it would be fun to tramp to a couple mountain ponds, where I could crunch out onto the bare ice with my see next page

THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Saturday, January 14, 2012— Page 27

from preceding page

MICRO spikes and look around.

In effect, the ponds would be my mountaintops, where I would get a view of the surrounding territory.

I was more than pleased with my choice. Starting at the end of Bennett Street in North Sandwich, I did a 12.2 mile round trip hike on gentle terrain to Guinea Pond and Black Mountain Pond in the Sandwich Range Wilderness.

The day was hauntingly beautiful. But clouds lingered in front of the sun for much of the morning, and the night time chill in the air didn‘t begin to leave until almost noon. Also, the terrain offered many minor obstacles that could have turned into major ones if complete attention wasn’t given to them.

The first was driving into the hiker parking lot at the end of Bennett Street. Two ruts in icy snow on the dirt road were easily negotiated, but then there were a couple uneven and bumpy dips in the road that required straddling, with both left and right tires on steep slippery ground.

That helped me to begin the hike with awareness. With ice underfoot at the start, I put on MICROspikes at my car and began walking on the Flat Mountain Pond Trail. It was 7 a.m. and the dawn quickly matured. Soon I started up wide switchbacks, and in 0.8 miles, turned left on the flat Guinea Pond Trail, once the bed of the Beebe River Railroad.

To my left through the bare trees, the dark symmetrical cone of 1990 foot Young Mountain, a prominent landmark of the Whiteface Intervale area, contrasted with the bright orange horizon behind it.

The wide trail slightly descended. I relaxed into a stride. It was more than two miles to the turnoff for Guinea Pond.

Crossing the Cold River on this section was the first of four precarious river crossings on the hike.

Those who have recently encountered mountain streams in the area have noticed a kind of blocky terrace system of ice, created by high water and now elevated above the actual stream. Foot traction is vital in moving from one terrace to another. Sometimes, while bridging a gap above the water, I found myself extending a foot towards rounded water ice.

Another interesting variation on this section of trail was caused by beaver. The old railroad bed ran right into a dammed swamp, and the trail bypassed it over hilly terrain. However, I paused long enough to walk out onto the flat ice of the swamp, feeling the privilege and ease of winter passage.

After another long section of railroad bed, where I could look far ahead along the evergreen lined trail, I hit the 0.2 mile Guinea Pond spur on the my right and headed out to it. see next page

The last time I had been to the shore of Guinea Pond was in July, when I stood on the spongy shore amongst alders, trying to get a look. So it was with relish, after an initial inspection for shoreline thin ice, that I strode out into the pond proper. It had a similar effect to reaching tree line and a vista.

To the west, I could see the steep ledgey southwest west ridge of Sandwich Dome. I knew that directly beneath it was my next destination, Black Mountain Pond.

Out on the ice, I circled the pond, looking at the shore. In a cove, a big flock of redpolls (an “irruption” of birds from further north that had flown south to New England to feed) landed in a bare tree and sang a collective chorus.

I headed out to the main trail, had two more absorbing stream crossings on the Beebe River, and took a right on the Black Mountain Pond Trail. It was another 2.4 miles on a gentle uphill grade to Black Mountain Pond. But first, an additional Beebe River crossing slowed me before I was allowed to continue to the pond.

A highlight of that long sec-

The last time I had been to the shore of Guinea Pond was in July, when I stood on the spongy shore amongst alders, trying to get a look. So it was with relish, after an initial inspection for shoreline thin ice, that I strode out into the pond proper. It had a similar effect to reaching tree line and a vista. tion of trail was the side trip to Mary Cary Falls, a lengthy cascade located a half a mile before the pond. It was a wide swath of cascading white ice. I scrambled up the left side of it through giant boulders, occasionally stepping out on flat sections of the waterfall with my MICROspikes. At the top, I bushwhacked back out to the trail.

It was interesting how that side trip brought me back in touch with myself, whereas before it, on the gentle trail, I was feeling the isolation a little. There was no one around.

Finally, I was in a grove of tall hemlocks above Black Mountain Pond. I took a path down to the south shore. The path was lined with full sized trees that were cut dead in the hemlock grove, and placed to keep people on the trail.

That hillock above the shoreline was once a highly popular camping place, and intense efforts have been underway for quite a while to re-vegetate.

I walked out on the pond. It was rectangular, and rounded on the eastern end. Directly across the ice from me, the steep wooded south slope of Sandwich Dome rose, spotted with gray ledges.

I walked around the pond. At a shady spot on the south shore, an attractive ice flow covered a long ledge, with short birch and fir trees poking out of it.

After completing the circuit, I sat on a rock at the outlet for an early lunch. The sun finally started to poke out of the clouds.

It was 10:30 a.m.

Before leaving, I tried for an echo off the mountain face across the pond. In the cold air, the small enclosure of Black Mountain Pond reverberated loudly with a nameless voice.

Unitarian Universalist Fellowship holds open mic celebration of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day TAMWORTH — To honor the Martin Luther King holiday, the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of the Eastern Slopes (UUFES) and the World Fellowship Center will host an open mic celebration of the Power of Love and the Love of Justice at 7 p.m., Monday, Jan. 16, at the UUFES Meetinghouse at the four corners in Tamworth.

“Martin Luther King, Jr.’s quote, ‘power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is love correcting everything that stands against love,’ is one of my favorites,” says Reverend Mary Edes, UUFES pastor. “Unitarian Universalist principles embody Martin Luther

King, Jr.’s work to end racism and injustice.

The public is invited to bring songs, poems, and stories to share, as we seek to inspire one another to lead lives of service for the good of the community. “We hope that community members will join this celebration and draw inspiration to build a future that everyone can occupy equally.”, adds Andrea Walsh, co-director of the World Fellowship Center of Albany. The meeting house is located at 30 Tamworth Road at the intersection of Route 113 (Tamworth Road) and Main Street. For more information or directions, see www.UUFES.org or call 447-2280.

Parish to hold study of God, the Bible and the church CONWAY — St. Margaret of Scotland Church has announced that it will hold a weekly adult study program titled “God, Holy Scripture and Man's Church.” The program is an exploration of our relationship with God, the Bible and the development and practice related to Church Tradition. The study is open to everyone and there is no cost. The study group will meet every Sunday beginning Jan. 15 from 11 a.m. to noon in the parish hall after Sunday service. There is plenty of parking available.

“There is often times so much confusion about what we believe as Christians because of our traditions in the Church as well as secular challenges,” said Fr. Jeffrey Monroe, Parish Rector. “This will South Tamworth United Methodist Church 8:30 AM Traditional Worship & Sunday School It is our mission to bring others to know the love, joy and peace that is found in Jesus Christ.

be a chance for all of us who gather to share our faith and come to try and understand our relationship with God, what Holy Scripture tells us and how to sort this out within the context of Church tradition.” The study will also look at Church history, practice and myths and will not encourage any particular denominational practice or belief. “Keeping in mind what has evolved in both the western and eastern tradition, as well as with Catholic and Protestant viewpoints, we will focus on the basic truth of God’s love for us and our relationship with Him,” Fr. Monroe concluded.

St. Margaret of Scotland Church worships on Sundays at 9:30 a.m. Father Jeffrey W. Monroe is Rector.

DILBERT

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It is very difficult to discover your blind spot.

It usually takes an unexpected event to show you what you can’t see. If someone points out where you’ve made a mistake, you’ll be grateful for the enlightenment this information brings.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

It may be time to disassociate yourself from something that you believe increases your self-worth. This act will reinforce that your worth doesn’t really have anything to do with what you own or do.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You have done something that is extremely creative, unique and worthy of the attention it will get. If you don’t really want to be visible, noticed and rewarded for your efforts, that’s just too bad.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll provide a stable and loving authority for someone who is a child or acts like one. You relish the role, which makes your relationship a strong and mutually affectionate one.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Just because you happen to enjoy an activity doesn’t mean it isn’t work. You’ll work hard and provide an example of hard work for those who need the role model.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 14).

You’ll not only do what’s necessary for your own success; you’ll also be the sole reason for someone else’s success.

Your agreement helps a project take off.

February brings increased mental control. You’ll study an area of knowledge and become an expert. The camaraderie of friends will help you meet physical goals in May. Libra and Pisces people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 19, 3, 20 and 18.

Get Fuzzy

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You get an impulse, and you act on it. If you ask for permission, you are changing the power dynamic or reinforcing a fictional hierarchy that really only exists if you agree to it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll be in a mood to mingle, and you’ll do this well. You’ll be around many interesting, accomplished and attractive people. The one with a sense of humor will steal your heart every time.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll take part in truly interesting conversations. As you listen, you provide a sounding board of truth for others who will note how their ideas resonate with you -- even if you don’t say a word. Your expressions are telling.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You like to see someone who is behind catch up.

You’ll support another person’s effort to do this, and the next time you’re behind, you’ll be all the more motivated to sprint to the finish.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You have a decision to make and an action to take. Will your future self approve of this action? Not the person you are now living at a date in the future, but the person you want to be in the future.

Would that person approve?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You can’t always do what you think needs to be done in order to develop in the way you want to develop. Prior responsibilities prevent it. Those same responsibilities are far more important to your development than you think.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The job you finish somehow makes more work for you. The fact that you don’t mind this one bit is evidence that you are doing something you truly enjoy. You’ll keep going, all smiles.

Today is Saturday, Jan. 14, the 14th day of 2012. There are 352 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Jan. 14, 1952, NBC’s “Today” show premiered, with Dave Garroway as the host, or “communicator,” as he was called.

On this date: In 1639, the first constitution of Connecticut the Fundamental Orders was adopted.

In 1784, the United States ratified a peace treaty with England, ending the Revolutionary War. In 1858, Napoleon III, Emperor of the French, and his wife, Empress Eugenie, escaped an assassination attempt led by Italian revolutionary Felice (fay-LEE’-chay) Orsini, who was later captured and executed.

In 1900, Puccini’s opera “Tosca” had its world premiere in Rome.

In 1943, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and French General Charles de Gaulle opened a wartime conference in Casablanca.

In 1953, Josip Broz Tito (YAW’-sihp brawz TEE’-toh) was elected president of Yugoslavia by the country’s Parliament.

In 1963, George C. Wallace was sworn in as governor of Alabama with a pledge of “segregation forever.”

In 1968, the Green Bay Packers of the NFL defeated the AFL’s Oakland Raiders, 33-14, in Super Bowl II. In 1969, 27 people aboard the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise, off Hawaii, were killed when a rocket warhead exploded, setting off a fire and additional explosions.

In 1972, the situation comedy “Sanford and Son,” starring Redd Foxx and Demond Wilson, premiered on NBC-TV. In 1986, Vinicio Cerezo was inaugurated as Guatemala’s first civilian president in 16 years in a ceremony attended by Vice President George H.W. Bush.

In 1994, President Bill Clinton and Russian President Boris Yeltsin signed an accord to stop aiming missiles at any nation; the leaders joined Ukrainian President Leonid Kravchuk in signing an accord to dismantle the nuclear arsenal of Ukraine.

One year ago: In an unprecedented popular uprising, Tunisian protesters enraged over soaring unemployment and corruption drove President Zine El Abdine Ben Ali from power after 23 years of iron-fisted rule.

BOYFRIEND TUGS AT HEARTSTRINGS FROM A VERY LONG DISTANCE

DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend, “Cole,” and I have been together since college -- several years now. We have a loving relationship, but the problem is distance. My job sometimes requires me to take short-term (two- to five-month) contracts in other cities and overseas.

Even though it is difficult to be apart, I handle long-distance relationships relatively well while Cole does not. This began in college when I studied abroad for a semester. Cole tries to be supportive and wants me to be successful, but he takes it personally when I have to leave. For me, it’s just about a job, but Cole doesn’t see it that way.

I would support Cole wherever and in whatever he needed. Although it would be ideal to be together all the time, I realize that sometimes it isn’t possible. Am I being selfish, or do we simply need different things out of a relationship? -GLOBE-TROTTER IN DES MOINES DEAR GLOBE-TROTTER: Are you being selfish, or is Cole being selfish? Are you willing to give up a career you have prepared for and work in so that he will no longer suffer separation anxiety? While your relationship is a loving one, the two of you have serious differences, and you must rationally decide which is more important to you. After that, everything will fall into place.

DEAR ABBY: My wife died nine years ago after a long illness. We have a son, a daughter and seven grandchildren.

I met “Lucille” two years ago at a basketball game that involved both our grandsons. Slowly, we began dating. Lucille has been a widow for many years and has five children.

We are now engaged and planning a wedding for about 60

Help Wanted Hospitality Staff

people after Lucille retires next year. We want to include our families in the ceremony.

Lucille’s two eldest sons plan to give her away. Two of her granddaughters will be flower girls. I asked my son to be my best man and he refused. He said he is happy for us and will attend the wedding, but he prefers not to stand up for me.

He feels it would be disloyal to his mother’s memory. He is adamant.

I never imagined my son would act this way. I didn’t mean to offend him. I’m not trying to replace his mother. We just want to bring both families together. Abby, your opinion, please. -- WELL-MEANING DAD ON THE EAST COAST DEAR DAD: It’s a shame that your son feels unable to support you as you enter this new phase of your life. If he is offended at the idea that after nine years you would want to remarry, the problem is his. Do not make it yours. I’m sure your late wife would want your life to be fulfilling. Ask your daughter or a close friend to stand up with you and let nothing spoil your day. You and Lucille have earned your happiness. Bless you both.

DEAR ABBY: Please tell me the proper etiquette for giftgiving. My in-laws often leave the price tags on gifts, especially if the gift was expensive. I believe price tags should be removed. Shouldn’t a gift come from the heart and not be a monetary statement? -- OFFENDED IN WISCONSIN DEAR OFFENDED: Yes, it should. Leaving a price tag on a gift implies that the giver is also “giving” the recipient a burden of gratitude. And the burden of gratitude can weigh so heavily that it diminishes the pleasure of receiving a gift.

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

Happy to see some snow this week.

Not that I really go out and play in it, but it is nice to have snow around the house for insulation. I remember as a kid having snow piles in the yard that were way over my head. We would spend hours outside digging tunnels through the snow. Mom would call when lunch was ready or if it was time for supper. Ah, the good old days.

Zen teacher to speak at Conway Community Sangha on Sunday CONWAY — A guest teacher, Norman Scrimshaw, will be presenting the dharma teaching at next Sunday's meeting of the Conway Community Sangha, a local Zen-oriented group that gathers each Sunday morning for meditation and discussion. Norman is the co-founder of White Mountain Sangha and cofounder, together with his wife Cynthia, of Awakening-Connections, a center for compassion and connections located at Dharma Mountain Sanctuary nestled in the Waterville Valley area of the White Mountains. Norman's personal spiritual search spanned more than 30 years as he investigated philosophy, psychology, personal growth seminars, living in an Ashram, trips to India, and commitment to spiritual paths with Indian gurus. Much was learned, but ultimately, proved unsatisfying.

In 1999 Norman had the good fortune to meet his teacher Adyashanti. It was a powerful time of meditation and inquiry during which he said, "I awakened to the living experience that the truth and essence of my being was found not in any thoughts, but in the awakened presence of my heart." In 2003, he was invited by Adyashanti to share the teaching with others. In 2004, he returned to his Campton homestead.

The public is invited to join with the Conway Community Sangha when it meets at Creative Sole Studio, 175 Main Street, Conway, above the laundromat, next to the Conway Post Office. Meditation is from 8 to 9 a.m. and Norman's talk will begin at 9 a.m. followed by dialogue ending at 10 a.m. A $5 donation is requested. Everyone is welcome.

Waldorf School open house Jan. 21 On Wednesday, the selectmen settled an ordinance violation case. Election Day went well at town hall.

They had a 39 percent turnout. Mitt Romney and Ron Paul came in first and second on the Republican ticket and President Obama won on the Democratic ticket.

The selectmen’s office and town clerk’s office will be closed on Monday in honor of Martin Luther King Day. TIn Mountain: On Friday, from 5 to 7 p.m., learn the stories behind some of our winter constellations, how to find them in the night sky, and even create a constellation of your own. Bring your imagination and warm clothes as you will be outside. This is a great program for the whole family.

Waldorf School: Are you a knitter? Want to be a knitter? The White Mountain Waldorf School open house will present “The Benefits of Knitting and Waldorf Education” on Jan. 21 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. For more information call 447-3168.

Gibson Center: There will be no lunch on Monday as the Center is closed for the Martin Luther King holiday. On Tuesday at 12:30 p.m. enjoy a slide show of Lake Tahoe. There will also be a sneak peek at the November trip to Branson. On Thursday at 12:30 p.m. it’s Americana Presents Bermuda. Learn about the upcoming cruise to this beautiful island.

Library: Winter storytime has started again. Storytime for babies is Wednesdays at 10:30 a.m. Two year old's can attend at 10:30 a.m. on Tuesdays. Three and four year old's come on Thursdays at 10:30 a.m. These

sessions are designed to help children develop into lifelong learners. Thursdays at 3:30 p.m. is time for teens to meet and either play with the Wii System or board games, make stuff, watch movies or just eat and talk.

UNH Extension: As part of the 4-H’s involvement with the “Let’s Move” campaign, a group has started to take the President’s Challenge together, so get your family and become part of it. Call Annarie Van Coesant at 447-3834 or email her at annarie.vancoesant@unh. edu for further information.

Check out Valley Vision for the Thursday Eggs and Issues discussion on County Government. Speakers were Representatives Chandler, McCarthy, Pettingill and Umberger and Commissioners Sorensen and Solomon. There was a lively discussion as well as questions and answers between the audience and speakers.

For those who might have missed the ad in the newspaper, Albany’s local inn, Darby Field, has renewed its special for locals. Good Neighbor Night saves you 20 percent off tavern fare and appetizers. This is a good way to support a local business.

Belated happy birthday wishes to Jeff Munroe who celebrated his b’day on Jan. 7 and Arthur Leavitt who celebrated his big day on Jan. 10.

Thursday brought a much needed (for businesses that rely on it) snowfall. That should mean a large crowd coming up for the holiday weekend to enjoy skiing in our area. Take the time to enjoy yourselves.

Have a great week.

Maureen Ann Gregston (Sullivan)

Maureen Ann Gregston (Sullivan) passed away Jan. 2, 2012 at Mineral Springs of North Conway. Maureen was born in Brighton, Mass. Aug. 22, 1933, the youngest of eight children.

Her childhood was split between Massachusetts and Conway. In 1952 she married Francis Gregston, a sergeant in the US army, and shortly after moved to Germany when “Frank” was deployed there. Upon returning to the states they moved the growing family to Brownfield, Maine, to a home on the edge of the “Brownfield Bog.” Maureen raised six boys in the home she lived in for the next 50-plus years.

As soon as the children were old enough Maureen returned to the work force, some of her fondest memories involved working at the Conway Café, where she developed strong bonds with her fellow waitresses. She also was a Realtor in the Conway, NH. area, restaurant owner in Gorham, Maine, and owned rental

properties in Maine, New Hampshire and Montana. Some of her favorite pastimes were looking for treasures at yard sales, traveling, and spending time at her waterfront camp in Tenants Harbor, Maine.

Maureen was predeceased by her parents, three sisters, four brothers and her husband. She is survived by her six sons; Michael and his wife Meredith of Fort Benton, Mont.; William (Bill) of Conway; Patrick of Hamilton, Mont.; Kevin and his wife Marcela of Center, Conway. John and his wife Stacy of Hamilton, MT. and Christopher of Sarasota, Fla., and two grandchildren Kevin II and Thomas of Center Conway.

At the request of Maureen there will be no funeral service and in lieu of flowers donations may be made to one of her favorite charities; Doctors without Borders USA, P.O. Box 5030 Hagerstown, MD. 21741-5030 or Camp Sunshine, 35 Acadia Rd.Casco, Maine.

Tom R.Gaskill

Tom R.Gaskill, 71 of Las Cruces, N.M., passed away on Jan. 9, 2012.

BARTLETT from page 38

Thank you to all who supported the Bartlett Community Church by eating at Joseph's Spaghetti Shed on Jan. 9. It was very welcoming to enter and see so many members of our community sharing a delicious meal. All money earned will go toward beautifying the lot (previously What/Not — Corner Store — Bear Notch Deli) recently purchased with the help of generous donations. This spring you will see changes to complement the reformation taking place in the heart of Bartlett Village.

Don’t forget to save a little more time for Sunday, Jan. 15. We will have the annual meeting immediately following our Sunday Service. It will be held in the sanctuary as the historical society prepares for their monthly presentation in Fellowship Hall. Childcare will be provided for the meeting. Important decisions will be made on Jan. 15, so

He was the previous owner of Spirited Journey Bed and Breakfast in Conway. members (and friends) should make every attempt to come and let their voices be heard.

The 2012 Valley Ms. Pageant will be held on Saturday, Jan. 21 at M&D Productions’ Your Theatre in North Conway. The contestants are women ages 18 and older from throughout the Valley who will vie for a $500 cash prize for the non-profit organization they are representing.

The Formal Wear and Public Speaking competitions, the only portion open to the public, will begin at 7 p.m. at Your Theatre. Attendees will also be able to vote for their favorite contestant by a “Cash Can.” In addition to the contestants, special performances will be offered by several local favorites. It promises to be an entertaining evening, with concessions available from M&D Productions. see BARTLETT page 41

REAL ESTATE CORNER

HOME OF THE WEEK

Early adopters think long-term

BY JASON ROBIE New Hampshire has a few “firsts” that we can be proud of. On Jan. 5, 1776, New Hampshire's congress ratified the first-in-the-nation state constitution. (I knew my birthday had some special significance!) In 1938, Earl Tupper of Berlin, invented — you guessed it, Tupperware!

In 1963, the N.H. legislature approved the first legal state lottery in the country. New Hampshire also produced a couple of the nation’s “largest” pieces. In 1998 Red Hook Ale Brewery took delivery of a barrel measuring 16 feet high by 10 feet wide with a capacity of 7,200 gallons. And, back in 1914, Amoskeag Mills in Manchester manufactured the largest American flag at 95 feet long and 50 feet high.

There is a whole list of these at nh.gov if you want to check out all 60 of them. And while Jason Robie being noted for a “first” or any other superlative in the nation is a nice accolade, it comes with inherent risks. I’m fairly certain the folks who first joined Galileo in the “the Earth is not flat” club were not widely appreciated. It takes a special kind of person to be able to objectively look at a situation and make an informed decision regardless of the social implications.

I can hear the words of the proverbial mother in the back of my head saying “If everyone else jumped off a bridge…” For the record, the answer was typically, yes! Who wouldn’t want to jump off a bridge into the river!?

As we ponder daily decisions as menial as what flavor of bagel to have for breakfast, I can’t help but wonder if one of the secrets to the early adopters is thinking long-term. What got me started on this is the fact that while being an early adopter is not always easy, it sometimes pays dividends. There’s no question the folks who bought Google stocks a few years ago are pretty happy with their decision right now. Those who can see through the haze of figures and calculations and realize something is too good to be true are happy they ran from Enron when they did.

And those investors and everyday homeowners who could see the writing on the wall with the real estate market are comforted with their decision to sit tight and trust their gut.

Real estate is typically a long-term entity.

Even with the typical homeowner moving every seven years, this is still a significant amount of time for the market to move around. If we look at this last “blip” on the real estate radar, it actually works out. Looking back to around that sevenyear mark, the market was a bit more volatile and houses were almost “flying off the shelves."

Now here we are in present day, with a market slowly gaining strength and buyers starting to get their confidence back.

There are those who don’t have the stomach for long-term investing. When it comes to my own finances, I tend to be rather impatient and want to see dividends quickly. I am the type of person who would rather save my pennies for a couple years and then invest $1,000 into something rather than putting $20 a week into an account. see ROBIE page 46

A dream-come-true for skiers This week’s Home of the Week is a spacious townhouse condo on Old Bartlett Road, right across from Mount Cranmore.

CONWAY — There’s that chill in the air. Snow is coming. Maybe a big one! And you’re heading to North Conway for the weekend.

The car is packed.

Clothes.

Food.

The result is eventually the same, but I like to see the bigger numbers more quickly. Real estate can also be that “investment." While I may not see an immediate turnaround with my investment, if I can sit tight and ride out a few bumps, the end result is usually a healthy pay day in a stable entity.

People won’t always be using Google. Just ask William Powell Lear, innovator of the eight-track tape. (Yes, the same guy that brought us the Lear jet.) Technologies change, societies change, priorities change and people change. But, one of the things we will always need is a place to hang our hat.

My driver’s education teacher once told me to stop looking at the hood of the car and look down the road. The problem with looking so close to the front of the car is your instinct is to adjust the steering wheel every time the car starts moving in one direction. The result is constant swerving and an instructor with an upset stomach. Once I adjusted my line of sight farther down the road, I stopped swerving and made minor adjustments resulting in a smoother ride.

The lesson here is to make the effort to adjust your thinking, and your vision, to longer term. I’m confident this can be rewarding in many facets of our lives. For those of you still hanging on to your New Year’s resolutions, you understand the sacrifice and benefit of thinking long term. If your resolution was to lose weight, passing up that side of fries might be challenging in the moment, but you will thank yourself in a few weeks when your pants start to fit better! Yes, that is the voice of experience!

Market update: Encouraging signs

BY KARL SEIBEL We've said that strong job growth will be key to a successful 2012. Early signs are encouraging. Automatic Data Processing (ADP) reports that private payroll numbers surged 325,000 in December — more than double expectations for a 160,000 increase.

The news on jobs is definitely good, but it's important to keep expectations tempered.

This time last year, ADP reported that private employment jobs increased by 297,000. That bullish number got more than a few economists and pundits thumping for a full-bore recovery.

Unfortunately, job growth abated and practically stagnated through the summer months of 2011.

That said, we remain encouraged. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reports that unemployment is, for the most part, dropping across the nation. The BLS's data show that 58 metropolitan areas reported jobless rates above 10 percent, but that's down from 112 a year earlier. Another 129 areas reported jobless rates below 7 percent, nearly double the 65 areas reported in November 2010.

So it appears employment is on the rise,

which bodes well for improved home sales in 2012. Prices are another reason we should see more sales. Standard & Poor's data show current home prices when adjusted for inflation are at 2001 levels. In other words, homes are very affordable. When homes are very affordable, more homes will be sold and more markets will clear.

We've provided many examples of markets clearing over the past few months. Beleaguered Las Vegas is the latest example.

DataQuick reports that home sales increased 11.2 percent year-over-year in November, with sales being driven by below-$200,000 homes. Prices are low in Las Vegas , to be sure, but the days of free-fall depreciation appear to have ended, with the median home price holding at $115,000 for three consecutive months.

Mortgage rates contribute to the affordability quotient. On that front, mortgages remain very affordable. In fact, over the past week the 30-year fixed-rate loan again touched a new low. This should come as no surprise when you see that the 10-year U.S. Treasury see next page

note also touched a new low, with its yield dipping below 1.9 percent.

Rates remain low thanks to the ongoing debt crisis in Europe , which continues to draw money to U.S. Treasury securities even though these securities don't yield enough to compensate for inflation. That's good news for borrowers, especially borrowers on the longer end of the spectrum — such as those seeking 30- or 15-year fixed-rate loans.

Is it worth waiting for even lower rates? We didn't expect to see sub 4-percent loans in 2011, so anything is possible. But you have to consider what's probable. With job growth accelerating and consumer confidence rising, it appears the economy is growing sufficiently to suggest any further rate drops will be measured in a few basis points.

At this point, it's really all about risk and reward. Today, the reward is very high, but we think the risk will likely rise with more evidence of improving economic growth.

Here are some indicators: Consumer credit: Important. Increased use of non-revolving credit reflects increased strength in sales of big-ticket items.

Wholesale inventories: Moderately Important.

Increasing sales and inventory levels point to stronger economic growth.

Mortgage applications: Important. Overall mortgage activity continues to trend higher.

Retail sales: Important. Most components continue to advance, which reflects a pick up in economic growth.

Import prices: The rise in import prices is indicative of rising consumer-price inflation.

The one fly in the ointment Housing is still dealing with some difficult issues — namely shadow inventory and negative equity. The former has shown much improvement based on data released during the last quarter of 2011; the latter will be helped by HARP 2.0, which is expected to be fully engaged by March.

The good news is economic and job growth will continue to remove rot from the system; that is, if buyers and borrowers are sufficiently motivated to act. Unfortunately, we see too few buyers and borrowers sufficiently motivated. The one question we field most often these days is, “Are mortgage rates going lower?” Embedded in the question is the belief that rates are going lower, which keeps too many people on the sidelines.

Our wish list for this year includes a stronger economy, more jobs, and more confident consumers. We'd also like to see a ratcheting up of interest rates. That way, borrowers prone to procrastination will be less prone to procrastinate when they realize that any uptick in rates won't be followed by two down ticks.

What's more, rising rates will be indicative of the sustained economic growth we all want.

MARKET from page 47

The American dream of homeownership is a very feasible aspiration for 2012, and here are five reasons why.

There are many benefits of owning a home. Yet some first-time buyers are skeptical of purchasing with the uncertainty surrounding the housing market.

The uncertainty many reference when speaking about the housing market involves a specific date when home values will increase. Since no one can pinpoint this date, the word uncertainty (when paired with the housing market) often reveals a negative connotation.

There are some factors we can be certain about in this housing market such as home values rebounding. This is true; the housing market often moves in cycles.

It’s safe to assume that many Americans harbored the same uncertainty during the George H. W. Bush administration in the early 1990s when the national homeownership rate fell from its previous historic high of 64.4 percent in 1980 to a low of 64.1 percent in 1991.

In the 1960s Lyndon Johnson illustrated a correlation between homeownership and accountability by stating “owning a home can increase responsibility and stake out a man’s place in his community. The man who owns a home has something to be proud of and reason to protect and preserve it.”

This statement is still true more than 50 years later. There are many reasons to take pride in homeownership such as: * Appreciation. Buying a home now (at the current rates) can almost ensure your home’s appre-

In the 1960s Lyndon Johnson illustrated a correlation between homeownership and accountability by stating “owning a home can increase responsibility and stake out a man’s place in his community. The man who owns a home has something to be proud of and reason to protect and preserve it.” ciation in the future. Mortgage rates are near historic lows and home prices in many parts of the country are down. This is the perfect recipe for home appreciation. Additionally, many foreclosed homes are available for a fraction of the original cost. This can translate to a higher profit if you decide to sell once the market rebounds. * Property Tax Deductions. For income tax purposes, real estate property taxes for a vacation home and first home are fully deductible. The IRS (Publication 530) provides detailed tax information for first-time buyers that may answer many questions about what deductions homeowners are eligible for. * Preferential Tax Treatment. If you own your home for more than a year and receive more profit than the allowable exclusion after the sale of your home, the profit will be considered a capital asset.

Capital assets are given preferential tax treatment. * Equity Building. Many factors such as credit qualification, loan flexibility, and annual percentage rate (APR) contribute to the final decision of what type of mortgage loan best fits your goals.

Yet, a new trend being used by some homeowners is to actually add money to their monthly payment

Real Estate

603-447-3813 selectrealestate.com

to decrease the principal balance of their loans at a much faster pace. This trend is called equity building. Equity builders usually select a home loan with a lower interest rate (and a shorter term loan such as a 15-year fixed) to help build equity faster. This rapid payment process allows borrowers to: * Pay off the principal balance faster. * Lock in near-record-low interest rates. * Shorten the length of their home loan. * Own their home faster. * Pay substantially less mortgage interest Equity building is a beneficial trend that’s becoming more and more popular with fiscally responsible homeowners. Also, home equity is the largest single source of household wealth for most Americans. * Pride. Homeownership offers many benefits to many different types of people. For some homeowners, playing your music as loud as you want and painting the walls the color of your choice is a perk. For me, homeownership will permit me to build an NBA regulation size basketball court on my own property. For my coworker Joel Jarvi, home ownership may allow him to build the indoor slide of his dreams. No matter who you are, homeownership is a purchase, commitment, and journey that’s sure to bring you pride.

Furthermore, when the uncertainty surrounding the housing market fades and the market rebounds, homeownership may in fact transform that pride to profit through a home sale.

ASK A BROKER

Trimming the escrow

BY PETER G. MILLER CTW FEATURES

QUESTION: Our lender has sent us a note — a good one, surprisingly! They say our escrow account is too big, so they're reducing our monthly mortgage payment plus they sent us a check for $165. How is this possible?

ANSWER: If you purchased with less than 20 percent down you are required to put money into an "escrow" or trust account maintained by the lender. Part of your monthly payment goes to the escrow account, and that money is used to cover your property taxes and mortgage insurance costs.

Escrow payments are adjusted annually, and generally a lender can maintain an account with a balance that equals as much as 14 monthly payments at some point during the year. Because property taxes and insurance costs have gone down in most markets as a result of declining home values, it follows that the lender should be collecting less for escrow. In this case the lender made an adjustment and sent a check for the over-

age, steps that were both proper and appropriate.

Two points on this, though: First, imagine that property values in your market once again rise. You should then expect property taxes and insurance costs to increase, and as a result you will receive a letter from your lender requiring either higher monthly payments for the coming year or a lump-sum payment to cover the new cost.

Second, the money held in borrower escrow accounts produces no interest for homeowners. If you buy with less than 20 percent down you may want to consider directly paying your property taxes and insurance. This sounds attractive in theory, but you're likely better off with monthly payments to the lender despite the lack of interest.

Why? Property taxes and insurance bills together can easily total thousands of dollars. Unpaid property taxes can lead to foreclosure even if you are current on the mortgage — and unpaid insurance bills are a violation of the mortgage agreement and potentially another cause of foreclosure. © CTW Features

WASHINGTON — By an overwhelming margin, American voters strongly value homeownership and would oppose efforts to weaken or eliminate the mortgage interest deduction or diminish a federal role to help qualified home buyers obtain affordable 30-year mortgages, according to a new nationwide survey gauging likely voters’ attitudes towards homeownership and housing policy issues.

“The American electorate is sending a clear message that owning a home remains a cornerstone of the American Dream and preserving a federal commitment to homeownership is essential to maintain a thriving middle class and get housing and the economy back on track,” said Neil Newhouse, a partner and co-founder of Public Opinion Strategies.

Conducted on Jan. 2-5 on behalf of the National Association of Home Builders by the Republican and Democratic polling firms of Public Opinion Strategies in Alexandria, Va., and Lake Research Partners in Washington, D.C., the comprehensive survey of 1,500 likely voters includes data from key political “swing areas,” including National Journal political analyst Charlie Cook’s swing House and Senate seats and Stuart Rothenberg’s presidential swing states. The survey, which has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.5 percent, is a follow-up to a similar national poll conducted last May. The poll shows that three out of four voters — both owners and renters — believe it is appropriate and reasonable for the federal government to provide tax incentives to promote homeownership. This sentiment cuts across regional and party lines, with 84 percent of Democrats, 71 percent of Republicans and 71 percent of Independents agreeing with this statement.

Also, two-thirds of respondents say that the federal government should help home buyers to afford a longterm or 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage.

Moreover, 73 percent of voters oppose eliminating the mortgage interest deduction. These figures held firm across the political spectrum, with 77 percent of Republicans, 71 percent of Democrats and 71 percent

R E A L O P E N

of Independents against doing away with the mortgage interest deduction.

Meanwhile, 68 percent would be less likely to vote for a congressional candidate who proposed to abolish the deduction, a figure that was virtually identical across all party affiliations (69 percent of Independents and 68 percent of Democrats and Republicans).

A majority of voters are also against proposals to reduce the mortgage interest deduction, eliminate the deduction for interest paid for a second home, limit the deduction for those earning more than $250,000 per year, scale back the deduction for home owners with mortgages above $500,000 and do away with the deduction for interest paid on home equity loans.

“With the 2012 election season in full swing, candidates running for the White House and Congress would be wise to heed the will of the American voters, who have expressed broad support for government policies that encourage homeownership and oppose efforts to make it more difficult to get a home loan and to tamper with the mortgage interest deduction,” said Celinda Lake, president of Lake Research Partners.

Among the poll’s other key findings: * 96 percent of home owners are happy with their decision to own and 84 percent who are “underwater,” or owe more on their mortgages than their home is worth, expressed the same sentiment. * 79 percent of home owners would advise a family member or close friend just starting out to buy a home, and 69 percent of those who are underwater on their mortgage would offer the same advice. * 74 percent said that despite the ups and downs in the housing market, owning a home is the best long-term investment they can make. * Homeownership and a retirement savings program are considered by voters to be their best long-term investments. * 78 percent of respondents said that owning their own home is very important to them. see next page

* Nearly seven out of 10 voters who are not currently home owners (68 percent) said it was a goal of theirs to buy a home. * Job uncertainty and saving for a down payment and closing costs are the biggest barriers to buying a home.

The survey findings are consistent with the results of other public opinion surveys. In a New York Times/CBS News poll conducted in June, 89 percent said that homeownership is an important part of the American Dream and more than 90 percent indicated that it is important for the federal government to continue the mortgage interest deduction.

According to a Pew Research Study conducted last March, 81 percent of respondents agree that buying a home is the best long-term investment a person can make and 81 percent of renters surveyed said they would like to buy a house.

“Even in a down housing market, homeownership remains a core American value, with the vast majority of citizens who do not currently own a home saying they want to buy a home,” said Bob Nielsen, president of the National Association of Home Builders and a home builder from Reno, Nev. “Those running for office in November need to understand that voters will not look kindly on any candidates who seek to dismantle the nation’s long-term commitment to homeownership.”

Indexing the improvement You think all housing markets are in the tank?

Think again.

The number of housing markets showing measurable improvement nearly doubled in January with the addition of 40 new metro areas to the National Association of Home Builders/First American Improving Markets Index.

The index identifies metropolitan areas that have shown improvement from their respective low points in housing permits, employment and house prices for at least six consecutive months.

The IMI now boasts 76 improving markets, up from 41 in December, with 31 states and the District of Columbia represented by at least one entry.

The five metro areas that dropped from the National Association of Home Builders/First American Improving Markets Index in January were Anchorage, Alaska; Fort Wayne, Ind.; Canton, Ohio; Scranton, Pa.; and Charleston, W. Va. A full list of all 76 metropolitan areas currently on the IMI is available at: www.nahb. org/imi.

The additions to the Improving Markets Index followed news from the National Association of Realtors at the end of December that showed pending home sales had reached their highest level in 19 months.

The National Association of Realtors' Pending Home Sales Index, a forward-looking indicator based on contract signings, increased 7.3 percent in November (the most recent month for which data is available) from October and is 5.9 percent above November 2010 . © CTW Features

Pats eye Tebow

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — For his latest trick, Tim Tebow is making three-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady disappear from the headlines.

Now, with Tebowmania in full force, the Denver Broncos hope to make the New England Patriots vanish from the playoffs when they meet to night.

Photos of the devout, much doubted Denver sensation kneeling on the turf in prayer are a weekly occurrence.

There are plenty of shots of him with arms thrust in the air after a scoring play.

But where are those pictures of Brady posing with supermodel wife Gisele Bundchen or with the Patriots title trophies?

That’s what happens when Tebow leads the Broncos to four overtime wins in one season, capped by last Sunday’s wild-card victory over Pittsburgh.

For Brady, coming off one of the best of his 12 seasons, greatness is expected and not often celebrated.

“I’m never surprised at what gets talked about anymore,” Patriots left tackle Matt Light said with a smile.

“I think I saw a sevenminute (video) piece on a girl that ate M&Ms while doing a handstand. That was interesting. I mean, I got into it for a while.

“I think it’s just any time there’s anything new - he’s obviously new (and) he’s done some incredible things this season. I think the hype is justified.”

If Tebow can stun the odds makers who have made the Broncos 13 1-2-point underdogs, the attention will grow heading into the AFC championship game.

Forecasters are predicting the coldest day of the winter with temperatures in the single digits tonight.

Tebow, who played four seasons at Florida, hasn’t been in many games below 20 degrees.

“I’d say probably a handful,” he said, “not as many as Mr. Brady has, probably.”
