ALBANY— What’s the best way to handle crime without a police department? That’s the question Albany offi cials had for local law enforcement agencies at a forum last week. About 16 people attended the forum which had representatives from seven local law enforcement agencies. Selectmen’s chair Jack Rose explained that Albany, a town of less than 800 people, probably can’t afford its own police department. So, selectmen wanted to get advice about what they should be doing in terms of dealing with crime, which residents have said they are concerned with. Currently, the town see CRIME page 9

Smarter than the average dog
3DAYFORECASTLOTTERY
(NY TIMES) — Chaser, a border collie who lives in Spartanburg, S.C., has the largest vocabulary of any known dog. She knows 1,022 proper nouns, a record that displays unexpected depths of the canine mind and may help explain how children acquire language. Chaser belongs to John W. Pilley, a psychologist who taught for 30 years at Wofford College, a liberal arts institution in Spartanburg. In 2004, after he had retired, he read a report in Science about Rico, a border collie whose German owners had taught him to recognize 200 items, mostly toys and balls. Dr. Pilley decided to repeat the experiment using a technique he had developed for teaching dogs, and he describes his findings in the current issue of the journal Behavioural Processes. He bought Chaser as a puppy in 2004 from a local breeder and started to train her for four to five hours a day. He would show her an object, say its name up to 40 times, then hide it and ask her to find it, while repeating the name all the time. She was taught one or two new names a day, with monthly revisions and reinforcement for any names she had forgotten.

More progress reported for Giffords Afghan tax TUCSON (NY Times) — Rep. Gabrielle Giffords continues to make progress, doctors said Monday, and her next major milestone in recovery will come when she is released from the hospital into a rehabilitation center. For each of the last nine days, Ms. Giffords has made what doctors call remarkable progress, opening her eyes voluntarily, breathing on her own and moving her hands and legs. But doctors have repeatedly said that it is too early to know what her long-term prognosis might be. After surgery Saturday to repair her right eye, Ms. Giffords again began to open her eyes
and “came back to that same baseline, that same level of interaction she has been having with us,” said Dr. G Michael Lemole, Jr. “At this time we are trying to tie up loose ends to get her prepared for that very fi rst stage of rehabilitation.” “The day she leaves this hospital, that’s her graduation,” he added. Ms. Giffords has now made it through the most dangerous period with potential for swelling, doctors said, but she still faces risks of infection or other serious complications. It will be months before doctors try to repair her skull.
Conspiracies don’t kill birds, but people do (NY TIMES) —At the beginning of this month when about 5,000 red-winged blackbirds fell from the sky in one night in Arkansas, biologists were called on to put a damper on public speculation about pesticides and secret military tests by reminding everyone how many birds there are and how many die. They often do so as a result of human activity, but in far more mundane and dispiriting ways than conspiracy buffs might imagine. “Five billion birds die in the U.S. every year,” said Melanie Driscoll,
a biologist and director of bird conservation for the Gulf of Mexico and Mississippi Flyway for the National Audubon Society. That means that on average, 13.7 million birds die in this country every day. This number, while large, needs to be put into context. The federal Fish and Wildlife Service estimates that a minimum of 10 billion birds breed in the United States every year and that as many as 20 billion may be in the country during the fall migratory season. Even without humans, tens
–––– and Spa ––––
of millions of birds would be lost each year to natural predators and natural accidents — millions of fl edglings die during their fi rst attempts at fl ight. But according to the Fish and Wildlife Service, people have severely complicated the task of survival. Although mortality rates are diffi cult to calculate for certain, using modeling and other methods like extrapolation from local research fi ndings, the government has come up with estimates of how many birds die from various causes in the United States.
on foreign contractors hits resistance KABUL, Afghanistan (NY Times) — To parse Ben Franklin, the only thing certain about life in Afghanistan is death. Taxes are another matter. The country’s Ministry of Finance says its efforts to change that have run into robust resistance from the very people lecturing them about the rule of law: American and European allies who do not want to see their own contractors taxed. Those contractors respond that taxing them is an absurdity, because foreign companies are here spending military and other foreign aid money that, by United States law and plain commonsense, ought to be tax-exempt. “The international community should be happy we are implementing the rule of law,” said Said Mubin Shah, deputy minister of fi nance for customs and revenue. “We should work together to solve this problem and impose the rule of law, because a lot of foreign contractors are evading their taxes.”

Sen. Kelly Ayotte visits 22 years after teen’s death, troops in Afghanistan family waits for answers BY JOHN DISTASO THE UNION LEADER
New Hampshire U.S. Sen. Kelly Ayotte said from Afghanistan today that 2011 “will be a crucial year” in U.S. efforts to end the Taliban and alQaida threats in the war-torn country and to begin to transition security responsibilities there to the Afghans. Ayotte, who continues to oppose the Obama administration’s pre-determined deadline for withdrawal, is among seven Republican U.S. senators, including several freshmen, who have been visiting offi cials and troops in the Middle East since Friday. She is scheduled to return to the U.S. on Tuesday. Ayotte said she had lunch today with four New Hampshire Marines at Camp Leatherneck after meeting Sunday with Gen. David Petraeus, the top commander of U.S. troops in Afghanistan, and Afghan President Hamid Karzai. The delegation, led by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, began in Kuwait, where Ayotte met with soldiers of the 197th Fires Brigade of the New Hampshire Army National Guard at a dining facility at Camp Arifjan. There, she was briefed by the brigade commander, Col. Peter Corey, and viewed an upgraded Mine Resistant Assault Protection (MRAP) vehicle. Also in the delegation are Sens. Richard Burr of North Carolina, Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, Marco Rubio of Florida and Patrick Toomey of Pennsylvania. The senators then moved on to Pakistan, where they met with that nation’s foreign secretary, Salman Bashir, and military officials. “Pakistan faces some signifi cant challenges from within,” Ayotte said, “and they are in the process of needing to make necessary economic reforms to ensure the financial stability of their government. “We were very clear about our com-
mitment, but there are sanctuaries within Pakistan, unfortunately, where the Taliban operates and can include members of al-Qaida.” She said the delegation asked the Pakistani officials “to continue to step up their efforts to eradicate the Taliban from within their country.”Ayotte and the other senators arrived in Afghanistan on Sunday. Ayotte said she was “deeply impressed” with the work U.S. troops are doing in the Middle East. She said the trip has reinforced her opinion that the U.S. should not put a hard and fast deadline on troop withdrawal. She said she went on the taxpayerfunded trip to “gain a general orientation about our overall efforts in the Afghanistan-Pakistan theater and to hear directly from our commanders and other officials on the ground. “I think it’s a very important trip for a senator to take to be able to see first-hand what is happening with our efforts in Afghanistan and Pakistan and particularly to hear from our commanders,” she said. Ayotte said that on Sunday she spent time in Nawa, in the southern Afghan province of Helmund, where Camp Leatherneck is located. She said she visited a market there with Gen. Richard Mills. That market, she said, was secured recently and would have been too dangerous for her delegation to visit only nine months ago. She said she learned that “momentum of the Taliban in the south of the country has been reversed and our troops are performing extraordinarily well, so we are making progress. “The test will be whether in this partnership, the Afghan government will bring their own security forces up to speed as well as implement a justice system,” she said. She also visited a training facility, where “we have trained a tremendous number of Afghan troops, which has helped the progress in them standing up their own security force.

PETERBOROUGH — Nearly 22 years ago, a high school senior was stabbed to death during a robbery in Peterborough. His killing has never been solved. Craig Lane was a 17-year-old high school senior with two great loves: the Boston Red Sox and trains. A straightA student, Lane was also working two jobs in January 1989 to save money for college. One job was at a Texaco gas station on Route 202 in Peterborough. “Craig’s aunt Nancy, who worked with the Peterborough Police Department at the time, called me at home on the phone and said, ‘Skip, I think you better get to the hospital. There’s been a robbery at the gas station, and Craig’s been stabbed,’” said his father, Skip Lane. By the time his father arrived at the hospital, it was too late. “As I went in, they told me Craig had died,” he said. “And of course I had to go in and identify the body, and it was just too much of a shock. You just don’t think of that happening.” The robber got away with about $150. Peterborough Police Chief Scott Guinard was a corporal with the department at the time and was the first officer at the scene. “There were several people standing around, pointing inside the booth,” Guinard said. “As I exited my cruiser and ran over there, the victim was laying face down on the fl oor of the booth, bleeding badly.”
Investigators said a Massachusetts man and his daughter were about to stop for gas when they saw a person run across the road. “They see that individual for a brief period of time in the headlights, and it is the two of them who are able to make a composite sketch from what they see in the headlights,” said state Trooper Joseph Ebert A man fi tting the description was also seen a short time later at a local Ames department store. Police later found a coat in a trash bin behind the store along with a trail of blood-stained money on a bike path and a secluded dirt road. Two years later, police also recovered a wad of cash wrapped around Texaco credit card receipts dated the night Craig Lane was killed. That money was stuffed under a tuft of grass on the same dirt road. Investigators said they think the killer is probably local, based in part on the strange route he took to flee the scene. Authorities said one motive was obviously robbery, but whether Craig Lane knew the robber is still unclear. “This family needs peace,” said Edith Lane, Skip Lane’s wife. “They need knowledge. They need justice, and it’s time. It’s time.” Anyone with information about this case is asked to call the New Hampshire State Police at (603) 271-3636. —Courtesy of WMUR

Law-abiding gun owners not the ones to fear To the editor: In their letters of Jan. 13, Eric Merklein and Ann Haralambie vigorously argue against gun rights in reaction to the Tucson tragedy without providing any credible nexus between the two subjects. They both continue to ignore the obvious fact that law-abiding gun owners are not the people we need to fear, no matter how few restrictions you place on how, where and when they carry their guns. They also ignore the reality that a person with criminal or homicidal intent does not care about any gun law or restriction. Contrary to Mr. Merklein’s claim, a person with a dangerous mental or violent history is not permitted to purchase or carry a gun in New Hampshire or virtually anywhere else, let alone into the state capital. Of course, that is not going to stop them from doing so and neither is any gun control law. Even though assumingly well-intended gun control advocates like these two writers would have us believe it is intuitive that fewer guns and more gun laws will result in less crime and gun violence, the statistics prove the contrary. Ms. Haralambie laments the loosening of restrictions on gun ownership in Arizona but fails to provide any statistical information showing a detrimental effect on crime in Arizona. Mr. Loughner should not have been able to purchase a gun, but the privacy laws advocated by the same liberal-minded people who support strict gun control prevented his school from reporting his serious mental issues to authorities. Over the last several years gun ownership in this country has increased dramatically,
while over the same period of time gun crime, violence and accidents have decreased, not increased. Mr. Merklein’s assertion that during a heated debate on a hot issue in the capital the maniacal tendencies of an otherwise normal human being will come out and cause him to massacre people is ludicrous and patently offensive to lawabiding gun owners. As I said earlier, gun laws and restrictions do not stop criminals or maniacs. Congressman Peter King of New York has proposed a new law making it illegal to carry a gun within a thousand feet of a federal offi cial. Beside the fact that such a law could instantly turn a law-abiding gun owner into a felon if he or she happens to not realize that a federal offi cial is in the same grocery store they are, this is the kind of logic from an elected representative that is genuinely frightening. Mr. King acknowledges that such a law probably would not have done much to dissuade Jared Loughner, but he said that the law would empower police to behaviorally profi le crowds of people at a public event to pick out the otherwise law-abiding person who was illegally carrying a gun. Are you kidding, Mr. King? While Mr. Merklein and Ms. Haralambie are entitled to their belief they would be safer as defenseless sitting ducks for the likes of Jared Loughner rather than risk being caught in the crossfi re between him and a legal gun owner, I would prefer to take my chances on the crossfi re. Better yet, I would prefer to be the law-abiding guy with the gun in my hand. Mark Winters Hale’s Location

Sisyphus Reborn Twenty years ago I considered running for the Conway School Board, to wrangle with what I deemed an inadequate and diluted curriculum. After about a year of talking to teachers and administrators, sitting in on classes, and enduring monotonous board meetings, I decided not to run when I realized that the school board never really addresses the all-important curriculum. When a couple of local men recently teamed up to promote “educational excellence,” I instinctively attended their opening pitch at the Tech Village, but I fear they are headed for the same brick wall. One of the coalition founders, Angus Badger, has some promising children whose potential he doesn’t wish to see squandered. The motives of co-founder Paul Mayer were less altruistic, but at least he was candid about it. He wants to give local schools a reputation for excellence so he can sell $350,000 homes to 30- and 40-something transplants. It was easy to sympathize with Dr. Badger. My wife and I faced his dilemma nine years ago, with two bright kids fi nishCash, cheerleading, ing grammar school and serious reserand speaking no vations about the junior high and high evil summarized the entire program. school. Rather than exhaust ourselves trying to transform a stubborn system, we resorted to a combination of home schooling, private school, and heavily supplementing the dead spots at Kennett — which then had a harried-but-dedicated principal, and still does harbor some impressive teachers. Mayer said he didn’t want to seem to propose “throwing money” at the schools, but that was the very concept everyone else embraced, with the predictable aim of paying teachers more money. Mayer calculated that adding $4,000 to each Conway teacher’s salary would raise the budget another $750,000. “How can we convince people to open up their pocketbooks?” asked an Echo employee, and plenty of people had ideas about that. Run sympathetic school board candidates, said Dr. Badger’s father. Organize a turnout of those who will “vote right,” suggested someone else. The man from Echo advised sending 18- and 19-year-old students to the polls. A school board member blamed the budget committee. Just get rid of the budget committee, snarled one woman, who claimed that its members’ median age was “75 to 80.” A self-described substitute teacher, who is also married to a teacher, preferred packing the budget committee with more liberal spend-
ers. He attributed community stinginess (and I’m not making this up) to “antisocial capitalists with a sense of entitlement.” A nurse seemed to denounce anyone who balked at the onerous school budget as “anti-school, anti-education, and anti-kid.” The tone of some comments carried a hint of hysteria. The audience fi nally realized that we already have excellent schools—it’s just a matter of saying so, loud and often. Write positive letters to the newspapers, said a couple of people, while others suggested squelching any criticism or unfavorable reporting. A special education teacher who is enjoying Conway’s generous parental leave provision urged businessmen to punish this newspaper, for instance, by withholding advertising “until they play nice.” Cash, cheerleading, and speaking no evil summarized the entire program. Those same strategies brought us right where we are today, which is why I despair of any worthy results. Around 1988 Conway passed an enormous pay increase for teachers, and our district salaries remained highly competitive for years afterward. By the reasoning of the Tech Village crowd, our academic performance should then have skyrocketed, but that never happened. The curriculum just kept growing broader and shallower, and per-student costs started climbing skyward, breeding voter resistance. Another massive infusion of money cannot overcome pedestrian administrative priorities. While Neal Moylan headed Kennett’s overgrown vocational department, the school board agreed to force every student to take a vocational course before graduating. Despite much palaver about practical application and a varied scholastic experience, I remain convinced that this was imposed to boost enrollment in Neal’s vocational programs. Because of schedule constraints, that absurd demand blocked our math wizard from taking AP calculus until she found an online course that was accepted as an equivalent. No doubt it was equivalent, too: it was perfectly useless, except to satisfy the graduation requirement. Now Neal is principal of the high school. When asked to recommend cuts for a hypothetical budget reduction, he opted to eliminate French — while preserving fashion marketing and hospitality management. No matter how much money we shovel into it, no system is going to produce many doctors, scholars, or engineers while it focuses on preparing students for a lifetime behind a cash register.

TELE-TALK
Do you believe the economy is coming back? The following are responses to this week’s TeleTalk question: Do you believe the economy is coming back? In a down economy I am especially grateful for the education my parents insisted that I get, generations of frugal living that provided a cushion for bad economic times and the training to get through it with a positive attitude. Now that we are seeing a glimmer of a return to a more stable
economy, I am ready to take advantage of it and appreciate the many members of the Mount Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce who have stayed the course with their membership — as they too will feel the advantage of their continuous marketing. Lastly, I am grateful for our visitors from all over the world, especially Massachusetts, for without them enjoying our see next page

beautiful valley we would truly have felt a worse result from the economic issues of the past few years. It is also nice to see the employment opportunities evident in the paper. Happy New Year, everyone. Where there is a will there is a way. Janice Crawford Your question requires a political answer. If the folks in the valley want to see a prosperity here like we’ve known it for the many, many years past, they must vote in as many Republicans as possible. They will promote new entrepreneurs, encourage them to expand and to invest, and keep the valley as we’ve always known it. However, if you wish to vote in more Democrats, Democrats will take the money from the people who actually work an eight-hour day. They will take that money and redistribute to the people who refuse to work, who are here illegally, or who just don’t care. Just make it another handout. The economy will die. So our question is: Do I see the economy coming back? No, not as long as the Messiah is in charge. Things will get much more gloomier and will be even threatening to our elderly with Obama’s death panels. No, there’s nothing but gloom in the future until 2012. The economy as we’ve know it will never recover. The manufacturing base of our country is gone; real estate profiteering is gone; bold stock market speculation is gone; soon the health care industry will be gone; infl ationary commodities pricing will be followed by deflating currency values; the global economy will swallow and digest U.S. debt. Government will be the only profitable sector, and for a select few only who can for the time being escape criminal prosecution and penalties as they manipulate huge sums of other people’s money. Ultimately, the wasteland formerly known as the USA will succumb to the ravages of history after a pretty good 235-year run. Easy come, easy go. New Hampshire’s employment levels may look good on paper; the truth is, many have exhausted their benefits and have given up trying to find employment. Folks cannot survive on minimum-wage jobs. Escalating gas prices, high property taxes, ceiling high rents, medical and prescription costs out of control, and food costs skyrocketing every day. All this and more make it impossible to believe the economy is coming back. Then again, for the very rich, perhaps the economy is rosy. This is Barbara in Center Conway. The economy is not improving quickly, as everyone is hoping for. There are a lot of people on unemployment; some, no fault of their own. There are few yearround jobs available. The jobs that are being offered are low-paying, part-time positions with no benefits. Who can possibly support themselves or their families with these types of jobs? Seasonal jobs might be doing well now, but they only provide employment over a few months. Then what? This is Diane from North Conway. I do not believe the economy is coming back, particularly for at least this area, speaking for myself who has lived here 20-plus years, worked for the same company for that long as well, and I have no home and no future and there’s no help for me out there. If I had 10 kids, there might be some help for me, but there’s no help for me. You work your whole life in this area and it gets you nowhere. So my answer would be a big no. Not till I see the 9.8 go to 4.5. Thank you. ••• The following Tele-Talk responses
were posted on The Conway Daily Sun’s Facebook page: Nope! Absolutely not. The numbers are lies and there are no jobs anywhere. People struggle on a daily basis to make ends meet or to find a job. Slowly but surely. At least it’s not getting worse and we were really on a downward spiral for a while. I agree that the economy is getting better. I know my company has job opportunities open and has had jobs open for a couple months without many applicants. Everywhere has a long way to go but I believe the silver lining is starting to show. No. I’m not sure where people get the idea that it’s a little better. Whom are you asking? People with jobs will say different than people who don’t. There is no work out there, unless you want to travel 45 minutes or maybe over a hour away, and that’s not worth it for only $7 or $8 an hour. That will only pay the gas to get there; it won’t pay the bills. That’s how it’s been and probably will stay like that four this year unless New Hampshire opens up new stores for us all. No. It never left. It’s just been lousy. New stores would be great if they went in the old buildings that are abandoned because of the new ones! If you call economy inflation fed by the Feds then yes! Watch and see what transpires from here on out! Beware, for it is closer than you think! Sounds like most people want to deny that it is getting better, but it is. I also believe there is work for those who really want it. It might not be what you really want, but the same companies in the area are always advertising. Be prepared guys, it’s only gonna get worse. Are there even any cleaning jobs? The U.S dollar is going to crash by May 11. Keep your eyes open for this number 11. It seems to have some signifi cance, I don’t know why, and New Hampshire is trying to pass a law to use silver and gold for legal tender. So hold onto those rings and jewelry; you are gonna need it! Good luck and God bless. Keep the love in your hearts. I suppose it would be easier to live on the smaller wages if the prices of oil and food didn’t keep going up. It’s extremely challenging to survive on less, but it can be done. We all wish we had more, but sometimes you have to make it work with what you’ve got. There are jobs out there; granted, they’re not great, but better than nothing. Yes, it is a challenge, but one that we can work through. Managing to keep your life simple is key in this economy and ultimately is very rewarding. I think we are past the peak money of the latest economy, and if it does come back we will be doomed in the long run. The days of borrow and spend have come to an end and we have to get back into an economy where our production to service/retail ratio is closer to where it was before the infl ux of pseudo slave labor from the Pacifi c rim. For the last 40 years we have lied to ourselves and said that working class was really middle class. We have $5,000 televisions and seven- to eight-year financing on the cheapest of new cars available to people who can barely make ends meet as it is. Our economic survival will depend on a fundamental shift in our behavior. If we do, the retail community will be in trouble for the short term, but if we don’t then we all will be in much worse trouble for a much longer time. Debt is slavery and we owe China way too much already.

filled and they have access to the most competitive post-secondary school opportunities.” It is also to “promote a reputation for educational excellence as a critical element of our community’s economic viability, specifi cally as it impacts business development and retention, sustained property values, and social diversity.” Badger, who has a son who will be attending Kennett High next year, would like to see the community get more behind education. “Just 17 percent of Conway voted on the school budget last April,” he said. “There may be a need to bring the community together and have a conversation about the importance of education here. We need to come together in a way that encourages more people to care.” Badger posed the question, “Does the business community have a bigger role in lending its voice to education here?” “I think there are different perceptions of quality (for education),” Badger added. “If you’ve got among the lowest starting salaries, you’ve got a hill to climb to get up to competitive.” Businessman Paul Mayer is also a founding member of the coalition. Serving on the executive committee on the state board of Realtors, Mayer said four weeks ago he attended a conference on educational values with Gov. John Lynch. “I heard loud and clear some of the educational problems we have are mirrored in the state,” he said. “It really doesn’t matter how bad off communities are fi nancially, but if we don’t invest in education we can’t compete (globally).” Mayer explained a strong school system is also a major attraction to families looking to relocate to this area. According to the New Hampshire Housing Index, the median
home price is $212,000 while the income required to purchase such a home is $50,701. Currently in the Granite State 29.7 percent of the people do not earn enough to buy the average home. Mayer spoke about the Fryeburg/ Bartlett effect. When prospective families are looking to relocate to the valley, if they have children high school aged, they asked to look at homes in the vicinity of Fryeburg Academy, while if they have younger children they inquire about homes in Bartlett in order to attend Josiah Bartlett Elementary School. “Economic development in the valley doesn’t have a lot to do with property taxes but it has a lot to do with education and what’s offered here,” Mayer said. “Financial responsibility needs to walk hand in hand with a responsible education. We can invest as a business community in Kennett High School so people looking to relocate out of Taxachusetts will come here.” Badger asked Kennett High principal Neal Moylan what he sees in the current high school and where it’s going. “I’m looking to you, what are your expectations and where are we now,” Badger asked. “We need to get a sense of where are we and where do we need to go.” “Hearing people talking about striving for excellence in education is music to my ears,” Moylan said, smiling. Moylan pointed out that Kennett High has established some impressive credentials in recent years. It is the only high school in the Granite State to be selected as the New Hampshire School of Excellence twice in 1999 and 2009. In its last New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) review two years ago,Kennett High received the highest accreditations possible. see next page

The numbers rose slightly in 2010 with 84 percent of the graduates attending post-secondary education with 59 percent attending four-year colleges and 25 percent going to two-year schools. “We’re not always going to get everyone to go to college,” he said. “It’s not a career path for everyone.” Moylan said currently at Kennett, 164 students are enrolled above and beyond what is required in math; 245 are in language courses above what is required; and in science, 85 are taking more courses than required. “Do we have everything we need to move from good to great? We’re moving in that direction,” Moylan said. “A couple of things we need to do is hire better teachers and provide services to make better teachers. If I want a pool of certified teachers I need a competitive salary to attract them. We don’t need to be better than average (salarywise), but we need to be at it (average). We also need to pay to retain good teachers. We’ve lost good math teachers after a few years because they can go down the road and make better money. We have a good school and we have a great passionate staff.” Moylan, like others, would like to fi nd a way to increase participation at the polls, where the money decisions are ultimately made. “We can do so much better than a 17 percent participation,” he said. “I think there needs to be a solid, sustained commitment as a community. It’s nice to have a philosophical conversation but at the end of the day we need to have a plan.” Mount Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce executive director Janice Crawford said she would be willing to get involved. She admitted to having a different perception of the coalition. “It felt like there was a hidden agenda going on,” she said. “It seemed like, ‘My kid wants to get into an Ivy League school, how do I make that happen?’” Crawford recalled when her daughter was nearing high school age. “I was one of those parents who walked through the old Kennett High and after I did I said I’m moving to Fryeburg,” TH ST she said, explaining the former facility was in rough shape. “If I walked through the new Kennett today I wouldn’t have moved.” *(Up to 1-ton trucks, excludes motorhomes & motorcycles) .Vehicle must pass NH State Inspection to obtain sticker.

CRIME from page 9
Sgt. Andy Macaione. “In this town the state police covered in 2010 everything from sexual assaults to motor vehicle accidents. There doesn’t seem to be one specifi c crime that is continuously occurring, it’s a litany.” Later, Macaione provided some Albany case number statistics from state police over the last three years. A case number is any incident that requires documentation, such as an arrest or an investigation. State police had 107 case numbers in 2008, 108 case numbers in 2009, and 88 case numbers in 2010. Those numbers do not include investigations that the sheriff’s department has handled. Police Chief Josh Shackford cautioned that statistics don’t tell the entire story and can be misleading. “If you have a proactive police department, your crime statistics are going to go way up because that (offi cer) is going to be coming across crime and you will be more apt to report crime (because the caller knows an offi cer is nearby),” said Shackford. An anonymous resident, who submitted a comment by e-mail, gave the most detailed description of the crime in town. The letter writer said when Albany contracted with the sheriff’s offi ce, drug dealing in his or her neighborhood was curtailed. The letter writer called for “proactive approach of police presence.” “In our neighborhood there have been issues over the years of speeding, DUI, trespassing, domestic violence, child abuse and neglect, aggressive and unattended dogs, theft, drug dealing and children lighting fires in the road,” the anonymous resident stated. “It resumed shortly after police were no longer present.” Further, the writer stated that residents are hesitant to call police for fear of retribution and because the response time takes too long. In many instances, the suspect would be long gone before police arrive. The writer also said police will stop at the home of person who made the report, which makes it obvious who complained. Police will even tell the suspect who made the complaint. “This encourages retribution on the part of the offender,” the writer stated. “So now the offi cer has left and you have a problem with your neighbor.” Curtis Coleman, whose family owns a children’s camp, said he felt there was a signifi cant trespassing issue in town. Sometimes he has to kick people off his land who are trying to party at night. He wondered what the best

way to handle that situation. Lt. Mike Santuccio, of Carroll County Sheriff’s Department, said he could call the sheriff’s offi ce or the State Police. After a few arrests, word will get out that the camp is not a good place to party illegally. “People will stop doing it because they don’t want to deal with the consequences,” said Santuccio. Later, Coleman suggested the selectmen revisit contracting with the sheriff’s office. Conway Police Lt. Chris Perley recommended the town identify the problem before money is spent on a solution. He said there was a signifi cant difference between someone hired to chase speeders and trespassers and a police force that consistently improves the quality of life in town. “Do you want to be policed or do you want a police force,” asked Perley. Crime depends on the geography and the demographics of the community. In Conway, there is a signifi cant problem with property crimes because of the number of retail outlets and homes that are unoccupied for long periods of times. There are also a signifi cant number of crimes like assaults and domestic violence against persons because of the relatively large population, said Perley. Most criminals, Perley said, are males between 12 and 25. And Albany has been identified as the town with the second highest birth rate in the state. That means Albany could see a rise in crime in 2023. Also Perley said there have been many terrible alcohol-related car accidents. “You have some God-awful wrecks,” said Perley who then asked the audience members what they thought the problem is in Albany. One woman relied, “Youth!” Selectmen are hoping to prevent car accidents by working with the state Department of Transportation to install rumble strips from Ossipee to Conway. The board believes it’s been proven that rumble strips keep drivers from wandering over the center line. As for solutions to crime, Tamworth Police Chief Dan Poirier recalled that his town was in the same situation when he started 11 years ago. The town had gone 15 years without a police department. At that time, there were 2,500 residents and Poirier was a one-man department. Poirier said he would go to the selectmen’s meetings every week and tell board members what was happening in town. During that time, Poirier said he got

to know everyone and that allowed him to get a good handle on what was going on. After a few years, Tamworth offi cials realized they needed more manpower, so the position was increased to full time through a federal grant. (Now the department has several offi cers.) Today, Poirier said his town has seen an increase in domestic violence between spouses and parents and children. A lot appears to be related to alcohol and the downturn in the economy. There has also been an increase in drug crimes. said Poirier. But Madison Police Chief Jamie Mullen said Madison has seen a reduction in crime because of the towns aggressive law enforcement. Rob Nadler wondered if Conway police would respond to a call if the sheriff’s offi ce and the state police were unavailable. Perely replied that Conway police would assist the state police or the sheriff’s department if they needed help. But the Conway police would not respond to nonemergencies in Albany. Nadler also asked if Albany could have a mutual aid agreement with surrounding towns that border Albany. Later, he clarified that he meant to ask if Albany could contract for service with Conway and other towns. “What’s the mutual part?” asked Perely. “You can’t aid us because you don’t have a police department” Nadler replied, “We can pay you.” People in the audience laughed. Shackford said he recalled doing details in Albany for the sheriff’s office. Deputies would be hired for four-hour shifts. The detail rate was about $25 per hour. Deputies kept logs and turned them into the sheriff and the selectmen. Further, Shackford said he knows the town of Milan has contracted with Berlin’s Police Department. Rose asked if Albany was wrong for letting the contract with the sheriff’s office expire. Santuccio replied Albany still has the same problems it aways had. He also said the sheriff’s offi ce would support any decision selectmen make. Santuccio recalled the details his agency used to perform and added that the sheriff’s offi ce also does details on the Kancamagus Highway, which the forest service pays for in the summer. Even if Albany had a part-time police department, the town would still need some coverage from sheriff’s offi ce and state police. “Between the two agencies we have met the needs of Albany quite adequately,” said Santuccio.

Proposed zoning amendment would ease restrictions regarding hotel units BY TOM EASTMAN THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
BARTLETT — When is a hotel unit regarded as a dwelling unit? The Bartlett Planning Board believes the answer to that question has to do with the number of bedrooms a motel unit has as well as whether it has kitchen facilities. Having held two public hearings on the issue, the Bartlett Planning Board at 7 p.m. Tuesday will vote at town hall whether to post for the town meeting warrant its proposed new zoning amendment regarding the defi nition of hotel units and the minimum lot size required. Planning board chair David Publicover says the board has drafted the proposed zoning ordinance over the past year to revise the ordinance to refl ect changes in the tourist marketplace. Last year, the board opted not to post a proposed zoning change that was presented by River Run Development Company because it felt much more work needed to be done to address questions raised by the proposal. Much work has been done by the board in the
months since to draft an ordinance that Publicover in a recent letter to the editor said the board believes “is consistent with the objectives of the town’s master plan to ‘promote a sustainable economic base through development of compatible uses’ while at the same time ‘preserv[ing] the traditional character of the town.’ ” A lightly attended second public hearing was held Jan. 3. The deadline for posting articles for the town warrant is Feb. 1. The board will act Tuesday, as it is the last meeting before that deadline. The board’s next meeting after that is Feb. 7. The amendment would revise both the definition of “Motel, Hotel, Tourist Court, Cabin” and the Minimum Land Area Required (MLAR) standards to be applied to them. (MLAR defi nes how much development can take place on a lot of a certain size.) Under the current zoning ordinance, any motel unit that contains cooking facilities (beyond a microwave oven) is defined as a “dwelling unit” and must meet the same Minimum Land Area Required standard as a three-bedroom
house or condominium. The proposed new definition would create three levels of units — standard (without cooking facilities), effi ciency (small units with limited cooking facilities) and full-service (larger units with full cooking facilities — essentially “condominium-style” units). Specific density standards are proposed for each type of unit. Under these new standards, the Minimum Land Area Required for a three-bedroom fullservice unit would not change — it would still be treated as equivalent to a three-bedroom condominium. However, the MLAR for one- and two-bedroom full-service units, as well as effi ciency units, would be somewhat reduced, allowing for a greater density of these units. The MLAR for standard units would be unchanged from the current ordinance. “The primary purpose of the amendment is to recognize and allow for different types of transient lodging facilities that have become more common in the hospitality industry, but which are not expressly dealt with by the current ordinance,” wrote Publicover.
He added that the board believes that is important to note that while the amendment allows for somewhat increased density of certain types of lodging units compared to the current ordinance, the allowable density for motel units (especially full-service units) remains signifi cantly lower than what would be allowed under state standards, as well as the zoning ordinances of many surrounding towns. At the second public hearing Jan. 3, resident Norman Head raised concerns about the impact of loosening town standards. Selectmen’s representative Doug Garland said he understood Head’s concerns, but said he believed the proposal gave the town “clearer guidelines” to enforce the ordinance while allowing greater fl exibility to adapt to changes in the hotel industry. Key to Garland’s support was a recent change to view “lockout” units as being part of a three-bedroom unit as opposed to there being a lockout and a twobedroom unit. “We are relaxing the zoning, so that gets me,” said Garland after the meeting, “but with the changes regarding lockouts, I think at this point I could support it.” All board members stressed the proposal is not River Run’s and that it was being drafted for the entire town. “This is not a Joe Berry amendment: as it has evolved, as it would come in now, Joe’s proposed development would still have to make some changes [and come in smaller] to meet the new ordinance. So I think this is a good move we are taking,” said Garland in an interview. Berry’s proposed River Run development, a hotel with units that would include kitchen facilities, returns before the board Feb. 7, according to Publicover. More detailed descriptions of all proposed amendments are available at the Bartlett Town Hall and the Bartlett and Glen post offices.

Eagles take pride in big road victory BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
CONWAY — The Kennett High girls basketball team won a defensive battle between two teams ranked in the top fi ve in Division II on Friday night. The Eagles outscored host Merrimack Valley in every quarter in Concord to prevail 43-35. The victory, the 32nd in the last 33 games for Kennett, lifted the team to 8-0 in Division II play and 11-0 on the winter. The Eagles, Lebanon, who KHS beat in the fi nals last March, and Souhegan are the lone unbeaten remaining in Division II. There are 25 schools in the division. The loss dropped Merrimack Valley to 5-2. "It was a bit of an ugly game," Peter Ames, Eagles' head coach, said, laughing. "It was a game where we never got into the fl ow on offense. Our fi rst fi ve shots were all air balls, we couldn't fi nd the rim or the backboard. (Smiling) I thought we might be in for a long night. "... Teams just match up against others differently," he continued. "I'd seen them at Oyster River in the preseason jamboree. They're pretty big and fairly athletic. I wasn't quite sure what to expect, especially at their place. It turned out to be a very workmanlike game for us. We were never able to get out and run, it just wasn't that sort of game. It was pretty close the whole way. It was the sort of game that definitely was good to win." Kennett led by three after the opening period; extended the lead to fi ve at the half; and up to seven after three quarters. see EAGLES page 16

Pride rally to erase Kennett's first half effort, 66-52; now 1-5 BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
CONWAY — It was a tale of two halves for the Kennett High boys basketball team on Thursday night. Playing in their fi rst home game in over three weeks the Eagles played inspired defense and took advantage of scoring opportunities in the fi rst half to build as much as a 12 point lead over visiting Merrimack Valley. The second half, however, was not as kind to the hosts, who were outscored 43-22 over the final 16 minutes to fall 66-52. The loss dropped KHS to 1-5 in Division II play while the Pride moved to over .500 at 4-3 on the winter. Kennett currently sits in 18th place, trailing ConVal, 2-4 for the 16th and final playoff spot. "We were up seven at the half and had executed our game plan almost perfectly," Steve Cote, Eagles' head coach, said. "We knew Merrimack Valley's strengths were dribble and drive to the basket and getting out in transition.. We did a great drop of keeping them out of transition and away from the basket. We also shot very well in the first half. "At halftime we talked about trying to limit them to just one shot and contesting every rebound," he continued. "We also wanted to be strong with the basketball and make sure we protected it. We came out and couldn't hold onto the ball. We doubled our turnovers." While disappointed with the loss, Coach Cote was more upset with the effort in the fourth quarter.
"I felt we gave up and packed it in a little early," he said, "that's very uncharacteristic of this group. I felt mentally we packed it in when we were still in the ball game. Merrimack Valley did what it had to in order to come back. It was a tough loss. It was very obvious we defi nitely had the game plan for (the Pride), but we didn't execute it for four quarters. ... In the fi rst half we played as a team and played really good defense and shared the ball. In the second half we became a bunch of individuals." After falling behind 5-2, Kennett went on a 14-0 run (Mike Lautenschlager hit a jump shot; Dustin Stewart had an offensive rebound and put back; Mike Lautenschlager made a layup; Robert Starkey buried back-toback three-pointers from downtown; and Matt Lautenschlager scored on a nice baseline drive) that carried over from the final two and a half minutes of the first period until there was 5:41 left in the half when the Pride made to free-throws to make it 16-7. The Eagles grew the lead to a dozen points when Alex Milford drained a three-pointer with four minutes to play in the second period. The Pride closed the gap to two points, 25-23, with just over a minute until halftime, but Brandon Frost scored the next five points on a runner in the lane and a three-pointer to put the home team up 30-23 at the intermission. Merrimack Valley scored the fi rst seven points of the second half and took its fi rst lead in a long time on an Eric Mirante jump shot with 2:09

to play in the third. Mirante fi nished with a game-high 21 points. Trailing 38-36, Milford gave the Eagles what turned out to be their final lead with 1:56 to play when he drew nothing but net on a threepointer. The Pride scored the fi nal eight points of the quarter on a Mirante jumper and a three-pointer and a trey

Eagles win fifth in a row; have scored a shorthanded goal in six straight BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
CONWAY — The Kennett High ice hockey team ran its winning streak to fi ve in a row last week, blanking Portsmouth 3-0 on the road on Saturday and on Thursday came away with a comfortable 6-1 victory over visiting Moultonborough/Interlakes at the Ham Ice Arena. The wins lift the Eagles to 5-2 in Division II play while Portsmouth falls to 3-4 while M/L slips to 1-6-1. For the sixth consecutive game the
Eagles scored a shorthanded goal, it proved to be the game-winner Saturday. "Since opening night we've had a shorthanded goal in six straight games," Michael Lane, Eagles' head coach, said. "I hadn't realized we had that sort of a streak going. It's proof the kids are doing the right things and more importantly it means we're killing penalties, too." Kennett, who out-shot the Clippers 44-22, hit the post four times against Portsmouth and found itself deadlocked in a scoreless contest following

the opening 15 minutes. Just 34 ticks into the second period, KHS took the lead for good. Shorthanded, the Eagles sprung forward Kevin Murphy, who beat the Portsmouth goalie to his blocker side to make it 1-0. Kennett, on a fi ve on three powerplay midway through the second period, scored again when Logan Spoor found Cody Richard in front of the net and he made no mistake. Richard closed out the scoring in the third period when he pounded on the
rebound of a Dan Rivera shot to make it 3-0. Jonny Parkhurst picked up the win in goal for Kennett, recording the shutout with 22 saves. "We killed off a fi ve on three Portsmouth power-play early in the third and Jonny made some of his best saves of the night during that stretch," Lane said. "He was real solid and did a nice job of controlling his rebounds." Lane praised the play of assistant captain Chuckie Smith. see HOCKEY page 17

EAGLES from page 13
Kennett jumped out to a 20-10 lead after the fi rst period and extended the margin to 39-17 at the half. The lead grew to 56-18 after three quarters. "They only had five baskets from the floor all night plus 13 free throws," Ames said. "I thought we did a nice job defensively, particularly in the second half. Wagner tickled the twine for a game-high 32 points. "Allie shot very well," Ames said. "She hit six three-pointers while playing just over two and a half quarters. (Manchester West) played a two-three zone and that left shooters like Allie open." Also scoring for the Eagles were Murphy, nine points, all in the fourth quarter; Sam Meader, six; White, six; Casey Blakely, fi ve; Kidder, four; Jesse Wagner, three; Maddie Graves, two; Rachel Miller, two; and Kaitlin Taylor, two. In other Eagle news, All State guard Melissa Frase was cleared to practice with the team last week. She has been successfully rehabbing a knee injury. She could make her season-debut Tuesday at Berlin, weather-permitting. Kennett closes out the week on Friday when it welcomes Bishop Brady (1-8) to The Nest for a 6:30 p.m. tip-off.

Canter, seventh, 59.43; Molly VanDeursen, eighth, 59.55; Kayla Morin, ninth, 59.64; and Wagner, 10th, 1:00.40. “Once again, our kids put it all on the line and were able to put together a solid day. Everyone skied well and really worked hard to continue improving their skiing. With midterms next week, everyone will shift gears to prepare for those; as a result we will only be fi elding a team for the GS in the afternoon for our meet at King Pine Friday, hosted by Kingswood,” said Kennett Ski Coach Laurel Zengilowski. Kingswood will host Friday’s meet. Other participating schools will be Plymouth, John Stark, Lebanaon and Laconia.
"We were ahead 32-22 early in the fourth and they hit a three; caused a turnover and scored again," Ames said. "They got it down to a two point game, but then Jordan Murphy hit a big three three to put us by five and we hit our foul shots down the stretch to pull away a bit." Allie Wagner had a game-high 32 points while Lauren Kidder added six; Murphy, three; and Lauren White, two. The Eagles held visiting Manchester West to just seven second half points and breezed a comfortable 71-24 victory on Tuesday night. All State point guard Allie Wagner outscored the Blue Knights by eight points while playing a little over two quarters of basketball. For the week, Wagner actually outscored both opponents in total points with the talented senior netting 64 points to just 59 for Merrimack Valley and Manchester West combined. Manchester West, who dropped down from Division I this winter, fell to 0-6 with the setback. "I really didn't know a lot about them coming in," Ames said. "It turned out to be a god night for us. We were able to get everyone plenty of playing time."

HOCKEY from page 14
"I thought Chuckie had a really good skating game," he said. "It might have been his best game of the year. With his speed he created so many chances for us." Kennett scored three goals in the opening 67 seconds and never looked back on Thursday. Lane liked seeing his club come out aggressive from the outset. "The three early goals allowed us the opportunity to relax a little bit and it also got a lot of kids playing time," he said.
“At this points it’s our biggest game of the year, We’re going to try to do as much as we can to get ready for Somersworth.” Sophomore Connor Todd lit the lamp just 21 seconds into the contest, scoring a power-play goal with assists going to Murphy and Dillon Smith. Just 26 seconds later the Eagles doubled their pleasure. Justin Munck won a face-off and dropped the puck to Matt Kelly, who uncorked a slap-shot that found the back of the net. Kennett made it 3-0 at 1:07 of the fi rst period when Todd scored his second of the night with Dillon Smith collecting his second of three assists on the evening. At 10:54 of the opening period, KHS added a shorthanded tally with Dillon Smith finding Murphy and he made no mistake from close range. The Eagles upped their advantage to 5-0 in the second period when Gabe Lee scored his first varsity goal. Assists went to Murphy and Chris King. The visitors got on the scoreboard late in the period, scoring on a two on one breakout. That was the lone puck to get past John Bishop, who was making his home debut between the pipes. He fi nished the night with 25 saves. The Eagles, who had 46 shots on net, capped the scoring in the third period when Anthony LaRusso creates a turnover and scored unassisted. This week, Kennett travels to top ranked Somersworth (6-0) tomorrow, weather permitting. The Toppers edged the Eagles 4-2 in Conway last month, scoring in the final two minutes and then adding an empty netter for the win. “At this points it’s our biggest game of the year,” Lane said. “We’re going to try to do as much as we can to get ready for Somersworth.” KHS will close out the week at home on Saturday, when it hosts Laconia/Winnisquam at 4:20 p.m.

Frank Alfred Morrison Frank Alfred Morrison, 86, of Palm Coast, Fla., died Jan. 13, 2011, at Grand Oaks Health and Rehab Center in Palm Coast, Florida, with family by his side. Born in Teaneck, N.J., Sept. 28, 1924, son of the late Frank Ambrose and Althea (Koeller) Morrison, he graduated from Ridgefi eld Park High School, N.J., in 1941 and did a post graduate year at Tabor Academy in 1942. Frank was enlisted in the U.S. Naval Reserve from 1943 to 1966, attending Yale University in the Navy’s V-12 advanced program, graduating in 1945. He proudly served on the U.S.S. Warrington from 1952 to 1953. He met Janet A. Murphy skiing at Black Mountain in Jackson and they were married in 1954 in Bradford, Mass. They lived in Shrewsbury, Mass. where he worked at Norton Company as an Industrial Engineer and later became a Consultant. They moved to Durham in 1978 where he worked in commercial real estate. They retired to Palm
Coast, Florida in 1993. He was a Past Commander of the Worcester County U.S. Power Squadron. Frank spent the greater part of his life just beyond the reach of the sea, but his model ships and sextants, his navigation texts and marine paraphernalia were a daily reminder to him of a place he loved. He spent childhood summers at the seashore and prepped at a school on Buzzard's Bay. As a young naval officer, he likely fancied a seafaring
career, but what was certain, whatever course he took, he would follow with the resolve of a mariner. Frank’s children recall his glee, when, as very small children, he would pack them in the tiny sailboat, launch them through the surf, and proceed to take them on an exhilarating and terrifying sail through the ocean waves. "Ready about! Hard a lee!" Family members include his wife of 56 years, Janet; three children, F. Scott Morrison, of Middlebury, Vt., Anne Morrison Getchell and husband, Paul, of Center Conway, and Martha C. Morrison and partner, Kim Michael, of Dove; six grandchildren, Thea, Brad, Jack and Daryl Morrison, of Middlebury, Vt. and Christopher and Samuel Getchell, of Center Conway. He was predeceased by a son, Bradford D. Morrison in 1971. Private services will be held in Durham at a later date. Donations may be made to Tabor Academy at 66 Spring Street, Marion, MA, 02738, or online at taboracademy.org. Please note Attn. The Frank Morrison Fund in either case.

‘Carmen’ at opera night at the Inn at Crystal Lake Jan. 20 What a great weekend it has been with snow and football, except for the Patriots’ loss. Well, I will surely be rooting against the Jets. I guess that my snow dances have fi nally started to work. This last inch of snow was so fl uffy and light, and according to Thais, "sparkl-ie." We can get more snow, just no below freezing temperatures and no ice. Don’t forget to sign up for the Janu-
ary opera night at the Inn at Crystal Lake this Thursday, Jan. 20. Bizet’s "Carmen" will be featured, a classic story of love gone wrong. This opera has many memorable tunes such as "The Toreador Song." These fun evenings are full of wit and delicious food, Tim’s wonderful commentaries, and a few solos, too. Call and make your reservations right now (447-2120) for a great experience. The dinners start
Tamworth Town Column
at 6:30 p.m. and the opera lectures at 7 p.m. Come on in for your free glass of wine, accompanying a four-course dinner, which complements the opera. Still only $55 per person, other alcohol, tax, and tip not included. I hope that somewhere over this long weekend, you paused to honor Martin Luther King, Jr. He was a strong proponent of freedom, equality, and the rights of all the people.
We should all strive to perpetuate his ideals in our own lives. Since it is winter in New Hampshire, get out of the house and away from the TV or computer and enjoy some winter sports: skiing, cross-country skiing, skating, sledding, snowmobiling, ice fishing, winter hiking. How about making a big snowman or doing snow angels? Let the "kid" in us come out and play.

Mountain Storytellers Guild performing at Chocorua Library Jan. 20 The New England Sled Dog Club will, conditions permitting, present the Pine Tree Power Classic on Chocorua Lake on Jan. 29 and 30. This event has been sponsored by the Tamworth Outing Club since 1935. For more information and to volunteer for trail work or help at the concession stand, call Kent Hemingway at 323-8263. On Wednesday I attended a meeting of Carroll County United ‘s Team 4: ”Balancing Economic Development and Economic Stewardship.” The existence of Carroll County United arose from a conference at K.A. Brett School last year and centers around the question: “What do we want to achieve together as a community?” Participants ranged from experts in the fi eld of conservation and educators to interested members of the public. Discussions focused on the replacement of school and other public build-
ings’ boilers with energy conservation units including those utilizing bio mass. The daunting prospect of $5 a gallon heating and gas looms ahead. One speaker referred to successful examples of biomass usage in Montpelier Vt . There was some discussion of third party fi nancing. Team 4 hopes to organize an exhibit on “Revolution Energy” in April. The group continued with discussions on the status of broad band introduction to our area. For more information on Carroll County United go to its excellent website at www.carrollcountyunited.org. News from the Chocorua Public Library: Andy Davis, Olga Morrill, Marion Posner and Joan Veilleux of the Mountain Storytellers Guild will perform at the Chocorua Library Thursday, Jan. 20, at 7 p.m. Congratulations to Myles Grinstead ,owner of the Chocorua Pottery, who started as assistant librarian at
the Chocorua Library at the beginning of 2011. She replaced Peggy Johnson who held that position for over a year. The library is exhibiting some of Robert McAllister Lloyd’s local water color paintings , kindly loaned by Barbara Lloyd, Nella Helms, and Marion Posner. You are invited to The Gathering Place at the Chocorua Community Church for “Balloon Night” to view the Academy award winning short film “The Red Balloon” donations accepted.

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Someone you hire will do much more than you expected. This will be a major treat! You may even be able to have some leisure time to yourself because of this happy turn. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You exude energy and joy when you feel good. That’s why the situation that is most comfortable for you will bring much happiness to everyone around you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19 ). You have a habit of watching for opportunities, and that is why you are luckier than the people who are too busy doing their own thing to look around for good fortune. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You can be alone when you need to be, and you are excellent company for yourself when that occasion arises. However, today calls for company, so make that happen. PISCES (Feb. 19 -March 20). Stability may be a myth. But character is not. Staying true to your word, you will weave yourself into the fabric of society and do what you were meant to do with that design. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 18). Within the next eight weeks, you will enter into or renew a partnership that touches every part of your life in a positive way. Work challenges lead you to hone your message or product, which helps you increase your income in March. May puts a hot ticket in your hand. June brings sudden popularity or even fame. Virgo and Leo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 4, 44, 18 and 31.
Get Fuzzy
HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19 ). The computer may tell you one thing, but humans can think. You’ll apply your brainpower to a situation and come up with effective answers that could only come from you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Spending time with an accomplished person will inspire you to take risks and live with great courage. Face-to-face time is best, although someone who is immensely powerful can motivate you through any medium. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You defy labels, and that makes people curious. They will ask you more questions just to fi gure out who you are and where you’re coming from. They’ll never nail it. You keep everyone guessing. CANCER (June 22-July 22). People remember who you are because you make a memorable impression. It’s a problem for some, but not for you -- not today. You instinctively say the thing that provokes a gut-level response. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Events that trigger old patterns will be quickly forgotten. But if you can stimulate a new pattern, the experience and your part in it will be remembered for years to come. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll start some fun conversations -- so fun, in fact, that ending them might be a problem. Collect phone numbers, e-mail addresses and mailing addresses, and the fun is to be continued... LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You are in the process of learning, growing and improving. There’s a limit to how much of this you can do in a day. You’re better off making a gentle transformation. Go easy.

THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Tuesday, January 18, 2011— Page 23
Today is Tuesday, Jan. 18, the 18th day of 2011. There are 347 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Jan. 18, 1911, the first landing of an aircraft on a ship took place as pilot Eugene B. Ely brought his Curtiss biplane in for a safe landing on the deck of the armored cruiser USS Pennsylvania in San Francisco Harbor. On this date: In 1778, English navigator Captain James Cook reached the Hawaiian Islands, which he dubbed the “Sandwich Islands.” In 1862, the tenth president of the United States, John Tyler, died in Richmond, Va. at age 71. In 1919, the Paris Peace Conference, held to negotiate peace treaties ending World War I, opened in Versailles (vehrSY’), France. In 1943, during World War II, the Soviets announced they’d broken through the long Nazi siege of Leningrad (it was another year before the siege was fully lifted). A wartime ban on the sale of pre-sliced bread in the U.S. — aimed at reducing bakeries’ demand for metal replacement parts — went into effect. In 1949, Charles Ponzi, engineer of one of the most spectacular swindles in history, died destitute at a hospital in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, at age 66. In 1957, a trio of B-52’s completed the first non-stop, round-the-world flight by jet planes, landing at March Air Force Base in California after more than 45 hours aloft. In 1967, Albert DeSalvo, who claimed to be the “Boston Strangler,” was convicted in Cambridge, Mass., of armed robbery, assault and sex offenses. (Sentenced to life, DeSalvo was killed in prison in 1973.) In 1970, David Oman McKay, the ninth president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, died at the age of 96. In 1991, financially strapped Eastern Airlines shut down after more than six decades in business. Former New York Rep. Hamilton Fish died in Cold Spring, N.Y., at age 102. One year ago: Taliban militants wearing explosive vests launched a brazen daylight assault on the center of Kabul with suicide bombings and gunbattles that paralyzed the Afghan capital for hours. Today’s Birthdays: Movie director John Boorman is 78. Singer-songwriter Bobby Goldsboro is 70. Comedian-singer-musician Brett Hudson is 58. Actor-director Kevin Costner is 56. Country singer Mark Collie is 55. Actress Jane Horrocks is 47. Comedian Dave Attell is 46. Actor Jesse L. Martin is 42. Rapper DJ Quik is 41. Rock singer Jonathan Davis is 40. Singer Christian Burns is 38. NAACP President and CEO Benjamin Todd Jealous is 38. Actor Derek Richardson is 35. Actor Jason Segel is 31. Actress Samantha Mumba is 28.

Help Wanted by Abigail Van Buren
HANDMADE CARDS ARE REMINDERS OF TRUE MEANING OF CHRISTMAS
DEAR ABBY: I am writing in response to “Blue at Christmas” (Dec. 13). I think the card-making tradition she has with her niece is beautiful. In a time when so many people are rushed, and so many of us are focused on fi nding the “best deal” for Christmas, it is wonderful that “Blue” is teaching her niece the importance of thinking of others and spending time with loved ones. I hope they will carry on their tradition because I’m sure many people look forward to those handmade cards and treasure them every year. -- LINDSEY IN GRANITE CITY, ILL. DEAR LINDSEY: If the avalanche of mail that poured into my office is any indication of how popular homemade cards are, the major greeting card companies had better look out. Read on: DEAR ABBY: “Blue’s” niece does not need to hear that she should quit a project just because some miserable, jealous “friend” makes ugly comments about it. Insulting other people’s efforts, while attempting nothing on her own, indicates that the person is unwilling to tap into her own creativity and is jealous of anyone who does. “Blue” should show those people how much their opinion really matters, which is not at all, and continue their tradition because they enjoy creating the cards together. If they continue, “Blue” and her niece can learn two Christmas lessons: Traditions are worth continuing, and what THEY think, not what others think, of their tradition is what matters. -- CHRIS IN ATLANTA DEAR ABBY: I have sent homemade cards for some time, for all major life events. I consider it my “ministry” because when I make them and enclose a personal note in each one, I’m thinking of and saying prayers for the recipient. That
poor buffoon who doesn’t grasp the signifi cance of a handmade card doesn’t deserve to get one. -- MARGARET IN THE SOUTH DEAR ABBY: I’m appalled that “Blue’s” dear friends didn’t appreciate the handmade Christmas cards she and her niece created. A pox on them all! But that’s too harsh. Those people have already been cursed -- with the taint of commercialism. If a store-bought card is what it takes to impress them, maybe they’ll get all they can stand. Meanw hile, “Blue” and her niece should continue their creative and loving efforts and send their blessings to veterans, our troops, children or elders in hospitals and homes, or to others who will appreciate the value of time and love. I know I’d appreciate one of those masterpieces. -- ROSEMARY IN MURRELLS INLET, S.C. DEAR ABBY: In no way should they stop their tradition just because one “Scrooge” put a damper on things. This is a great teaching moment for the aunt to talk with her niece about human nature, how some people see the glass half-full while others see it half-empty. We should never allow the “half-empties” to steal the joy we derive from the little things in life. -- MELISSA IN SPRINGDALE, ARK. DEAR ABBY: Looks like we already have a winner for this year’s Bah-Humbug Sourpuss Ingrate Award. I could barely comprehend the letter from “Blue,” whose insensitive friends did not appreciate the lovely gesture of handmade cards. -CHERYL IN ELK GROVE, CALIF. DEAR READERS: I would like to express my gratitude to all of you who sent me handmade holiday cards. They brought cheer to my staff and to me. Thank you! -- LOVE, ABBY
