France puts tobacco back in some ads PARIS — (NY Times) France may count more than its share of iconic chain-smokers — from Jean-Paul Sartre to Alain Delon — but for two decades the country has been systematically removing cigarettes from their fingertips or lips in any advertisements that use their likenesses. This week, though, French lawmakers adopted a bill that would give back the tobacco products those celebrities held so dear, and by which they came to be known. The Cultural Affairs and Education Committee of the National Assembly, the lower house of Parliament, voted Wednesday to exempt “artistic or cultural works” from a 1991 law that prohibits tobacco advertisements, but that also prevents the presence of tobacco in advertisements for goods of any kind. The full National Assembly is expected to approve the bill this month. “In the name of a preoccupation with health, paved with good intentions, we’re ending up changing works of art and, more concerning, history,” a Socialist member of Parliament, Didier Mathus, told the committee, according to an official transcript. “It was ridiculous,” said Cécile Husson, a gravelly-voiced, 37-year-old schoolteacher as she puffed on a cigarette on the Place Gambetta in the 20th Arrondissement. “It didn’t have any impact on whether people smoked or not.”

Iran talks offer little progress ISTANBUL (NY Times) — Talks between Iran and six world powers made little progress on Friday, with a late-night plenary session becoming tense and even acrimonious before an agreement to meet again on Saturday, senior Western diplomats said. Iran has refused so far to engage on speciﬁcs and continues to assert that it is in full compliance with nuclear agency inspectors, while insisting on its right to enrich ura-

nium no matter what the United Nations Security Council demands. “The Iranians still will not admit that they have a problem with the world,” one diplomat said late Friday night. “Every idea we put forward they ﬁ nd a reason not to take it up.” He said that the talks came very close to ending Friday night, but the parties agreed in the end to continue them on Saturday morning.

But it was unlikely that a date would be set here for a further round of talks, another Western diplomat said after the last, unscheduled plenary session, which lasted 2 hours and 30 minutes and broke up just before midnight. “I think it will be an agreement to go away and reﬂect” on the usefulness of these talks, said the diplomat, who, like others here, spoke under normal ground rules of anonymity.

Obama adds to emphasis on For many species, there’s no business with adviser choice escape as temperature rises SCHENECTADY, N.Y. (NY Times) — President Obama, sending another strong signal that he intends to make his White House more business-friendly, traveled to this industrial city on Friday to appoint a prominent corporate executive as his chief outside economic adviser, and to spotlight his efforts on job creation, in advance of next week’s State of the Union address. Here in the birthplace of General Electric, where the company’s historic brick ediﬁ ce and iconic neon-

script logo loom over downtown, Mr. Obama turned to Jeffrey R. Immelt, the company’s chairman and chief executive, to run his outside panel of economic advisers. Mr. Immelt succeeds Paul A. Volcker, the former Federal Reserve chairman, who is stepping down. The selection of Mr. Immelt, who was by Mr. Obama’s side during his trip to India last year and again this week during the visit of President Hu Jintao of China, is the latest in a string of pro-business steps the president has taken.

KINANGOP, Kenya (NY Times) — Simon Joakim Kiiru remembers a time not long ago when familiar birdsongs ﬁ lled the air here and life was correlated with bird sightings. Over the past two decades, an increasing number of settlers who have moved here to farm have impinged on bird habitats and reduced bird populations by cutting down forests and turning grasslands into ﬁ elds. Now the early effects of global warming and other climate changes have helped send the populations of many local mountain species into a steep downward spiral, from which many experts say they will never recover. Over the next 100 years, many scientists predict, 20 percent to 30 percent of species could be lost if the temperature rises 3.6 degrees to 5.4 degrees Fahrenheit. If the most extreme warming predictions are realized, the loss could be over 50 percent, according to the United Nations climate change panel.

State set for the big chill Take precautions to protect yourself against the cold CONCORD — The National Weather Service is predicting temperatures well below zero this weekend and the N.H. Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management urges New Hampshire residents and visitors to take precautions to protect themselves and their property against the cold. Daytime high temperatures are expected to be in single digits, with overnight lows between 10 and 30 degrees below zero. “Temperatures this cold put people at increased risk of frostbite if they don’t dress properly and take other precautions,” said Christopher M. Pope, Director of Homeland Security and Emergency Management. “People should dress in layers, cover up as much as possible and limit their time outdoors.” Pope noted that frostbite is a particular threat to people participating in outdoor recreation because they are exerting themselves and may not notice the cold. Pope also made these recommendations:• Monitor weather conditions via the news media, Internet or National Weather Service radio. • Limit time outdoors, even when participating in outdoor recreational activities. Take breaks inside to warm up. • Be a good neighbor. Check with elderly or relatives and friends who may need additional assistance to ensure their safety. • Do not leave pets outside for

extended periods. • Ensure you have suffi cient heating fuel, as well as emergency heating equipment in case you lose electricity. • Exercise caution when using alternate heating sources, such as a fireplace, wood stove or space heater. Keep a fi re extinguisher handy. Test smoke alarms and carbon monoxide (CO) detectors. • If you lose your heat, close off unused rooms. • To keep pipes from freezing, wrap them in insulation or newspapers. Allow a trickle of warm water to run from a faucet that is farthest from your water meter or one that has frozen in the past. This will keep the water moving so that it cannot freeze. • If pipes freeze, remove insulation, completely open all faucets and defrost pipes with a hand-held hair dryer. Never attempt to defrost pipes with an open flame. • Make sure your car is properly winterized. Keep the gas tank at least half-full. Carry a winter emergency car kit, including blankets, extra clothing, fl ashlight with spare batteries, windshield scraper, snow brush and jumper cables. • Make sure you always have a well-stocked home emergency supply kit that includes fl ashlights, portable radio, extra batteries, a fi rst aid kit, bottled water, non-perishable food and a manual can opener. — Courtesy of The Union Leader

House GOP leader seeking to delay gay marriage fight until 2012 CONCORD — New Hampshire’s House Republican leader said Friday he will ask that the fight to repeal samesex marriage be postponed until 2012. Rep. D.J. Bettencourt said he will ask the committee responsible for the repeal bill to retain it until next year. Bettencourt said the National Organization for Marriage sent a direct mailer to his district in Salem saying he doesn’t support traditional family values. He said the mailer was the result of his announcement last week that the House Republican agenda did not include repealing same-sex marriage. Bettencourt said the incident shows how controversial the issue is and reinforces his belief the House should focus on fiscal issues this year. In a letter to House Speaker William O’Brien, Bettencourt said the organization and its supporters in

New Hampshire know the repeal bill will be acted upon because legislative rules require floor votes on bills. “This assault on our agenda has the potential to take important focus and energy away from our focus on the budget,” Bettencourt wrote O’Brien. “Therefore, it is my belief that the samesex marriage repeal must be retained in the Judiciary Committee this year so that our full and undivided attention is focused on New Hampshire’s outstanding financial issues.” Bettencourt said his office will make that position clear in testimony it provides at any hearing on the bill. State Rep. David Bates, R-Windham, the bill’s prime sponsor, said he won’t fi ght leadership, but will tell the committee handling his bill he believes it would be better to put the issue to rest this year. — Courtesy of WMUR

Weather plays havoc with high school sports BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — Mother Nature has interfered with the sports calendar for the second time this week. A wide range of high school sports were either postponed or canceled altogether yesterday at Kennett High where classes were not held for the second time in four days due to snow. The Kennett High ski jumpers were scheduled to host their lone home meet of the season yesterday at 6 p.m. on the Kanc. With school canceled the meet has been pushed back a week to Friday, Jan. 28, also at 6 p.m. “We deﬁ nitely didn’t want to totally cancel it,” Laurel Zengilowski, head ski coach at Kennett High, said. “Hopefully, we can pull it off next Friday. I know we won’t have every school there due to schedule conﬂicts, but we’ll at least be able to jump at home once.” The indoor track meet at the University of New Hampshire last night has been canceled and will not be made up leaving the Eagles one more opportunity this coming week to qualify for the State Meet. Yesterday’s boys and girls alpine meet at King Pine in East Madison most likely will not be made up according to Zengilowski. The talented Eagles will be back in the racing gate this Friday at Waterville Valley when they’ll take on John Stark, Lebanon, Hanover, ConVal and Laconia. Yesterday’s planned basketball games with Bishop Brady have been moved to Wednesday.

The Kennett girls basketball team will host Bishop Brady (1-8) on Wednesday. The JV game is set for 5 p.m. with the varsity to follow at approximately 6:30 p.m. The Eagles (9-0) are coming off a 70-41 victory at Berlin (3-5) this past Wednesday while the Green Giants, who have lost eight straight, fell 62-25 to Lebanon (8-0) in Concord this past week. Kennett closes out the week on Friday when it travels to Dover to play St. Thomas (3-5) for the second time this season. The Eagles defeated the Saints 44-27 in Conway on Dec. 17. The Kennett boys basketball team (1-6) will travel to Concord next Wednesday to make-up the game with Bishop Brady (1-7). The junior varsity contest tips off at 5 p.m. followed by the varsity at approximately 6:30 p.m. Before tipping off with Brady, the Eagles will have some other hardwood business to attend to. On Tuesday, Steve Cote’s troops are slated to make the long trek to Hanover (5-2) to tangle with the Marauders. This is the ﬁrst of two planned meeting between the two schools with the second slated for Feb. 5 in Conway. As for today’s sports slate, the Kennett High ice hockey team (5-3) is at home in the Ham Arena where it hosts Laconia/Winnisquam (0-7) at 4:20 p.m. The Eagles are coming off a tough 3-1 loss at topranked Somersworth (7-0) on Wednesday night snapping their ﬁve-game win streak. L/W is yet to taste victory this winter, having fallen again Wednesday, losing 8-1 at Portsmouth.

Should the minimum salary for starting teachers be increased? Conway is currently near the bottom in starting-teacher salaries in the state. The minimum salary for starting teachers in Conway is $27,600, which is 155th out of 160 districts. A proposed new contract between the Conway Education Association teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; union and school board would bring the minimum salary to $29,000, which is still below the state average starting-teacher salary of $33,120. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While this is a good ďŹ rst step,â&#x20AC;? union president Curtis Finney said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the CEA would have liked to see starting salaries in a more competitive range, above $30,000, in order to attract highly qualiďŹ ed teachers.â&#x20AC;? Members of the newly formed citizensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; group, MWV Coalition for Educational Excellence, also believe a higher salary for new teachers is needed to attract good teachers and improve the quality of education in Conway. The proposed contract will be put to voters for ďŹ nal ratiďŹ cation in April. This weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tele-Talk: Should the minimum salary for starting teachers be increased?

NATIONAL PERSPECTIVE

The Civility Wars Here’s how lacking in civility we are today: We have spent the past two weeks debating what civility is, and why the people we don’t like don’t have it. Look up the meaning of the word “civility” and you will find that it is rooted in the notion of being part of a city. In our urban age, that should make civility fairly common. But because we know that common sense isn’t, we also know that civility isn’t exactly overflowing, even in a nation that considers itself, after the Book of Matthew (as adapted by John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan, who both seized on the simile), as a city upon a hill. Let’s first stipulate that politics as practiced since the United States became a nation has been largely nonviolent — but seldom confectionery or kind. There was the vicious campaign of 1800, the derision directed at Abraham Lincoln, the slur-filled struggle between James G. Blaine and Grover Cleveland in 1884, the bitter battle between Al Gore and George W. Bush a decade ago. No doubt the presence of struggle and battle in the last sentence struck you as being completely unremarkable, which helps prove my point. We’re used to martial references in our politics. The word campaign originally meant a military operation. U.S. politics ain’t beanbag (the credit for that insight goes to the great Peter Finley Dunne). It ain’t kind, either. And yet pugilists (there I go again, as Reagan would say) on both sides prize civility, claim it for their own, deny its presence in their opponents and salute random acts of it, which in some ways only underlines how rare civility is. For a generation, commentators, myself included, have celebrated the wonderful relationships cultivated by former Speaker Thomas P. O’Neill Jr., first with longtime minority leader Bob Michel and then with Reagan. The mythology is that O’Neill loved to share a lazy afternoon on the golf links with Michel and an early-evening pop with Reagan. The work-hard, play-hard narrative is that they fought like animals during the day and relaxed like pals after hours. These myths didn’t arise from nothing. There were in fact golf outings and the clinking of glasses — and staff relationships that have no equal today. Last week Chris Matthews, a former O’Neill aide, celebrated the speaker-president relationship and quoted Reagan as saying, “The speaker says that here in Washington we’re all friends after 6.” I’m not sure that means very much. Being chummy in private, where it doesn’t matter, but churlish in public, where it does, is no recipe for civility in public affairs. In truth, the Democrats of that period ran a tyrannical House, where Republican privileges and prerogatives were severely limited. For all the time he spent on the fairways with O’Neill, Michel was always a supplicant, not a political equal — until Michel had a semblance of a working majority because so many conservative Southern Democrats, known as Boll Weevils, were voting with the Republicans on tax and budget matters. And it is beyond contention that O’Neill and his allies mounted a ferocious offensive against Reagan in the 1982 midterm congressional elections, portraying the president as a cruel enemy of the aged and an unfeeling plutocrat ready to

break faith with the American promise of Social Security. Reagan’s forces returned the attacks in kind, focusing on O’Neill’s portly profile and his liberal spending record. Lucky for the speaker, earmarks weren’t earmarked for extinction in his time, or else there would be no billion-dollar warren of new tunnels under Boston today. The problem with the civility serenades we are hearing in the wake of the tragic shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and others in Tucson is that they are blatantly political in a way that makes a mockery of civility itself. Still, it is true that inter-party civility might be harder to achieve today than it was in the recent past. As the Boll Weevil example suggests, as recently as a quarter-century ago there were large groups of political figures with affinity for the views of the opposing party. It was easier, for example, for Lyndon B. Johnson to win the support of Everett M. Dirksen of Illinois, the Republican leader in the Senate, for civil rights legislation than it was to attract Southern Democratic votes. In fact, a larger percentage of GOP senators than Democratic senators voted for the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Dirksen and Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield had an easier time displaying civility in 1964 than Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and his Republican counterpart, Mitch McConnell, do today. And for all his problems with Republican lawmakers who opposed the New Deal, Franklin Roosevelt was far less than civil with Sens. Walter George, Ellison D. “Cotton Ed” Smith and Millard Tydings, Democrats he brutally sought to defeat in primaries. Civility can be a sometime thing. No two figures inspire more partisan controversy than former Sens. Robert J. Dole, whose sharp remarks as the Republicans’ vice presidential candidate in 1976 still rankle Democrats, and George S. McGovern, whose 1972 Democratic presidential campaign remains a target of Republican bromides today. And yet Dole and McGovern, both from agricultural states, teamed up to support food-stamp legislation and were jointly honored in 2008 with the World Food Prize for their efforts to battle hunger among the world’s poor. That is civility with a civilizing touch. Civility is a noble concept, but it sometimes is confused with mushiness. Barry Goldwater, who was salty but civil, once derided fellow Republican Dwight Eisenhower, who was the epitome of civility, as a dime-store New Dealer. In the political life that followed his military career, Eisenhower accepted many of the tenets of the two Democratic presidents who preceded him, which made it all the easier for his rivals to think him civil. Indeed, in the past several years liberals have celebrated conservatives who come to their side, if only for an issue or two, while conservatives have saluted liberals who wander into their political wheelhouse from time to time. But there is a difference between civility and complicity. We need not insist on the latter in our search for the former.

Despicable to exploit the Arizona shooting To the editor: The tragic shooting in Arizona is something that should bring Americans together in our condemnation of this heinous act and in our prayers for the recovery of representative Gabrielle Giffords and the others injured as well as families of those slain. Unfortunately left wing lunatics in the Democrat Party such as Senator Dick Durbin of Illinois, Maine’s Marxist Representative Chellie Pingree, Pima County Sheriff Dupnik, members of the press and some writers to this paper have actually tried to blame the Tea Party and ﬁne Patriotic Americans like Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck for the act of one deranged individual. Any sensible person knows that terms like bullseye and target are often used

as metaphors by both major political parties and have absolutely nothing to do with this recent crime, The preponderance of hateful rhetoric comes from the left. Just read some of the comments on the Hufﬁ ngton Post, MSNBC, the Daily Kos and remember the movie that was made depicting the assassination of President Bush. It is absolutely despicable to exploit a tragedy such as the Arizona shooting to slander those with whom you disagree in the hopes of scoring political points. The individuals doing so deserve the utmost contempt. Although it should have been done sooner, President Obama has ﬁ nally showed some leadership by condemning these baseless attacks on conservatives. George Clausen Freedom

Constituents don’t really matter to Guinta? To the editor, Over the years I have made many calls to my Representatives in government at both a state and federal level. Almost without exception, the aide will ask my name and address. Senators generally want my full address which results in a written response to my question or position. I have now called Rep. Guinta’s ofﬁ ce in Washington twice this week regarding the sponsorship of the “Repealing the Job-Killing Health Care Law Act.” Mr. Guinta’s position on this bill is not my reason for writing this letter (I knew where he stood as a shill of his mystery money donors, but I insist on believing that I still have the right to make

my thoughts known to him), the attitude in his ofﬁ ce, which is directly related to his attitude toward constituents is my concern. Both calls ended in much the same manner: After stating the reason for my call, the aide replied “OK, and?” To which I asked him where Mr. Guinta stood on this issue and if my opinion would be noted, to which (both times) the answer was “it doesn’t really matter.” It Doesn’t Really Matter? Guinta is supposedly in Washington to represent the people of New Hampshire and my opinion should very well matter to him. How did he get his mandate if constituents “don’t really matter?” Maureen Westrick Intervale

Snowmobiling helps fuel winter economy BY TOM EASTMAN THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — In some ways, snowmobiling is like the Rodney Dangerfi eld of local winter sports: it “don’t get no respect.” Local snowmobile rental operators are hoping to change that perception, saying they would like to work with the Mount Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce to better market the region’s hundreds of miles of trails. With this month’s recent snowfall, things are looking up for local snowmobile businesses after a poor snow season last year and a nearly snowless December. Many proponents say along with the area’s alpine and ski touring trails, the Mount Washington Valley is a viable winter destination for families who not only ski, and shop, but who might like to try snowmobiling while they’re here. Hotels such as the North Conway Grand, White Mountain Hotel and Golden Oaks have partnered with snowmobile operators in the past. But even more could be done, say some operators. “Some areas get it, but it could be better, especially in North Conway,” says Terry MacGillivray of the newly renamed and expanded Northeast Snomobile Rentals of Fryeburg, Maine. “I do a lot of my own marketing with inns,” says Peter Gagne of Northern Extremes of Bartlett, “but I think as far as the community, I would love to see more hotels on the [Route 16 strip] in North Conway get involved. I don’t think they even realize what they could get for business if they marketed lodging and snowmobiling packages more.” The chamber is open to such ideas, notes executive director Janice Crawford. “This traditionally has always been a ski town,” said Crawford, “so there is a certain level of camaraderie that needs to be continually built between the alpine and Nordic community and the snowmobile industry. Perhaps it is time for a meeting — just as we have worked with the ski areas, golf courses and cycling, we are more than happy to sit down and work with [the operators] to support any lodging and snowmobiling packages they would like to create.” A problem in the past, she said, was that some lodging properties felt that the cost of the packages was too prohibitive, given the cost of renting snowmobiles. Many local properties also do not have the room for snowmobile trailers, Crawford said, noting that towns further north such as Twin Mountain and Colebrook do embrace snowmobilers. “We believe it is a good market, although there are some infrastructure issues regarding accessibility that we need to work through,” notes Crawford. ••• Skiing is the state’s offi cial sport, and alpine and cross-country skiing are the backbone of Mount Washington Valley’s winter, tourism-dependent economy, but snowmobiling is nearly as important economically statewide. According to a report prepared for the New Hampshire Snowmobile Association in 2003, snowmobile travel parties had direct spending within New Hampshire of about $453 million, and direct and indirect spending of approximately $666 million. That lags behind skiing — a study prepared for Ski NH during the record 2007-08 winter showed a total of $940 million dollars spent by guests visiting New Hampshire ski areas. Yet snowmobiling’s economic impact is still significant. ••• Mount Washington Valley is home to several of New Hampshire’s 115 snowmobile clubs: Snoward Bound Snowmobile Club of East Conway; White Mountain Trail Club of Glen; the Scrub Oak Scramblers of Madison; Mountain Meadow Riders of North Conway; and Ossipee Valley Snowmobile Club of West Ossipee. The region is serviced by at least seven snowmobile rental and/or sales operators, including:

• A Better Life Snowmobile Tours and Rentals, Bartlett (374-0952). • Northeast Snowmobile Rentals, Fryeburg (207) 935-1220. • Northern Extremes Snowmobile Rentals, Bartlett (374-6000). • Town and Country - snowmobile sales, East Conway (939-2698). • Barton’s Motorsports - snowmobile sales, Tamworth (323-8054). • Proﬁle Powersports - snowmobile sales, Conway (447-5855). Guided tours are offered by most to Corridor 19 and snowmobiling areas in the surrounding White

Mountain National Forest. Riders also head east to Maine, or south to the Lakes Region. ••• Operators will tell you that there’s no business like snow business. All hailed this month’s snowfall. Unlike alpine resorts, after all, snowmobilers don’t have the luxury of snowmaking on their trails. While sales are ﬂat, or down, interest in riding has returned. “Rentals are good,” notes Northern Extremes’ Gagne of Bartlett. “Last year, due to the poor snow and early spring, things were very challenging.” see next page

Gagne said trails in North Conway only had 14 days of grooming last year. Bartlett, meanwhile, had more snow last season, but Gagne still had to end the season March 20. “Usually we are able to rent at least through April 1, as we are in the shade of Bear Notch,” said Gagne. When it rains in North Conway, it often snows in Bartlett, he says, due to the Bear Notch effect. “The 10 miles between here and North Conway make a difference.” Like Northeast Snowmobile Rentals of Fryeburg, and Proﬁ le Motorsports of Conway, Northern Extremes opened a second location farther north to access the snow. Northern Extreme now has a second location at Bretton Woods. Proﬁ le has a rental location in Colebrook, and Northeast Snowmobile has a second location in Gorham. It’s a matter of going where the snow has been the past two seasons. “We opened a second location at Bretton Woods. Riding was extremely busy over New Year’s weekend — I have never seen that many sleds. One report was that there were 450 trailers on Route 302 in Twin Mountain that weekend,” said Gagne. Northeast Snowmobile has invested approximately $300,000 into its revamped and renamed business this year, according to MacGillivray. see next page

Terry MacGillivray of Northeast Snowmobile Rentals of Fryeburg, Maine, is shown using the new GPS Fleet Tracking system he has installed on his computer and the company’s rental snowmobiles to track its ﬂ eet of rental sleds in real time. MacGillivray says the new system has safety beneﬁts, as he will be able to know in times of emergency exactly where the riders are. It will also allow sledders after their outing to see exactly what terrain they covered on any given day. (JAMIE GEMMITI PHOTO)

In addition to new sleds and a second location, MacGillivray says Northeast Snowmobile has invested in a new high-tech GPS Fleet tracking system which enables him to track all of his company’s sleds when they are out on the trails. “Fryeburg Snowmobile has completely reinvented ourselves this year,” says MacGillivray of Northeast. “Our GPS Fleet tracking system is unique to New England, and perhaps in the United States.” Should a sledder call from the trail, saying he or she is in trouble, the system allows Northeast to track their location via GPS. “This is huge in terms of safety as each of our sleds has GPS technology now. It also allows people to come in after their ride, and we can show them where they went that day,” said MacGillivray. New sleds are also the norm at Proﬁle, Northern Extremes and A Better Life Snowmobile Tours and Rentals, also in Bartlett. Richard Wilczek of A Better Life Snowmobile Tours and Rentals echoed that business has picked up with the snow. “It’s slow midweek, but the snow does bring the people back. This year started kind of late, due to the lack of snow, but we’re hoping for a good February vacation week.” All liveries say that they cater to families and everyone who wants to give snowmobiling a try. “Our market is a family market. Mom may want to shop; other mem-

bers of the family may want to go cross country or alpine skiing; dad may want to try snowmobiing. The fact that you can do it all here makes for a nicer vacation community,” said A Better Life’s Wilczek. ••• Snowmobile Facts: New Hampshire is home to about 7,000 miles of snowmobile trails, according to the New Hampshire Snowmobile Association, which works with the state’s Fish and Game Department and the Bureau of Trails/ Department of Resources and Economic Development. The trails bureau works with landowners and snowmobile clubs to ensure that access is continued. Under the state’s Grant-in-Aid Program, a portion of registration fees go back to snowmobile clubs to help them with their grooming expenses. According to the New Hampshire Snowmobile Association,the state’s snowmobile community supported a snowmobile registration fee increase this past year to protect the quality of trails — the ﬁ rst increase since 2004. In 2009, there were 60,000 snowmobile registrations in New Hampshire, good for ﬁfth overall in the U.S. and second in New England trailing Maine (which was fourth overall and tops for New England with 98, 472 registrations); Vermont was third in New England with 36,400. Michigan was tops overall with 346,315; followed by Minnesota (252,003) and Wisconsin (219,307). The total for U.S. snowmobile registrations in 2009 was 1,652,642.

Snowmobiling Parks “Skip” Christenbury

Best riding of the season now here CONWAY — With the last few storms that have fallen across the Mount Washington Valley, snowmobile season is ﬁnally shifting into high gear! The great news is all meteorologists are predicting more snow and cold temperatures lasting well into February. All clubs are now out grooming the newly-fallen snow, and no major trail closures or reroutes are in effect at time of publication. While riding the valley trail system, there are two fun-ﬁ lled events on tap for February that are easily accessible trailside. The eighth annual Snowmobile Groomer Rodeo is set to take place Friday, Feb. 11, and Saturday, Feb. 12, at White Lake State Park in Tamworth. This event is located right adjacent to Corridor 19 and open to the public. Come and see the best groomer operators in the state battle for the crown of top groomer, and partake in the many amenities that the area has to offer. On Saturday Feb. 19, the annual Scrub Oak Scramblers Winter Carnival will take place in Madison. Once again this event is accessible via Corridor 19, and the club will have ample

signage to guide you into the event. Radar and poker runs, hot food and treat and a number of vendors will make this a day of fun for the entire family. ••• REMINDERS: As you travel out on the trails this season a few quick tips to remember. First and foremost, alcohol and sledding don’t mix. Fish and Game and local and state law enforcement officials will be out in force this season to enforce these regulations. Also of note is that the maximum speed limit on the trails in New Hampshire is 45 mph. Once again Fish and Game offi cers will be using radar and other means to enforce trail speed limits. There are a number of ponds, lakes and rivers that crisscross the valley trails systems. Please do not venture out onto the ice unless you are positive it is safe. Local ice fishermen or your local snowmobile club are always good places to check before you go. Remember, before you take that long trip let someone know your itinerary, in case you need to be located somewhere along your trip. see next page

Snow Report: Freshies make for a powder wonderland BY TOM EASTMAN THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — The New England Patriots’ loss in the playoffs to the New York Jets last Sunday is the local winter sports scene’s gain. It’s anybody’s guess how much of an economic impact the Patriots have on Mount Washington Valley’s ski business when they are still playing in January and February, but with their defeat, one thing’s for certain: New Englanders can now get out of their living rooms, away from their big screen TVs, and back outdoors into the Great Wild World of Winter. Sure, there’s still football on the tube this weekend. But without the Patriots and Tom Brady, who cares? What you’ll find this week-

Sheriff, commission in snit over contract BY DAYMOND STEER THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

OSSIPEE — The county commissioners thought they were done with the sheriff’s union contract, but the sheriff says not so fast. Now the sheriff wants to hire a lawyer to redo the contract, which he called “fatally flawed.” Commission chairman David Sorensen questioned Sheriff Christopher Conley about the issue at a meeting on Jan. 5. That meeting was commissioner Asha Kenney’s fi rst. The man she defeated, former county commissioner Chip Albee, represented the county in the contract negotiations. “I’ve got a item here that concerns me; it’s about collective bargaining negotiations with a private attorney,” said Sorensen. “Do you want to give any further information on that?” Conley replied it would be easier to respond to a “specifi c question” but he went on to say that he felt the county’s lawyer, James Higgins, of Manchester, didn’t represent him adequately in the collective bargaining process. Both the county commissioners and the sheriff would be on the management side of negotiations with the Teamsters union, which includes deputies, some offi ce staff and dispatchers. Higgins, Conley said, told him the sheriff isn’t one of the parties that signs the contract. “I decided it was in the best interest of the county to seek counsel,” said Conley who sought advice from Shawn Sullivan of Concord. “I did authorize a retainer be paid for that representation.” Sorensen wondered it if that $9,900 retainer was a contract that would be paid from county dollars. Sorensen said county commissioners have to approve all contracts. Conley confi rmed that it was. He

added that he thought the union negations were still open. Conley said he couldn’t discuss the problems with the contract in public because there was a nondisclosure clause. Conley said he hopes not to spend the entire retainer. “There are certain things that make it fatally ﬂawed and not in the best interest of the county,” said Conley. Sorensen said he still had a problem with what Conley was trying to do because the county delegation, a group of 14 lawmakers that approve the county budget, essentially called for no new spending items until the new budget is approved, which may not be until April 1. Sorensen said he wouldn’t approve the money until he speaks with delegation chair Betsey Patten (R-Moultonborough). Conley said he thought the no-newspending edict was about salaries. Conley said he had the money in his budget. Further, Conley said Higgins charged the county about $12,000 with another $4,000 in charges pending. The commissioners hired Higgins without input from the sheriff, said Conley. “I had no knowledge those payments would be taken out my budget,” said Conley. He stressed he didn’t have the exact numbers in front of him and was unware that topic would be discussed at the meeting. Sorensen said it’s common practice for commissioners to take the legal money out of the budget of whatever department needs that service. Also, that $16,000 might include services that were done for other departments with unions: jail and nursing home. The county never paid that amount of money for legal services for one department in the past. “We should be working together,” said Sorensen.

Cotchery provides calm in Jets’ storm FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (NY Times) — Jerricho Cotchery has played football for 21 years, since he was 7 in Birmingham, Ala., and to do something for that long, especially at a high level, requires a lot of emotion. Still, he loves football. He loves it in a much quieter way than, say, Braylon Edwards and Santonio Holmes, the two receivers brought in since October 2009 to fortify, if not electrify, the Jets’ passing attack. Cotchery gets along fi ne without doing backfl ips (Edwards) or imitating a flying jet (Holmes). Asked if he ever tried to calm his teammates, Cotchery laughed and said: “I try to, sometimes, but it doesn’t work. Sometimes, it just throws gas on it.” Cotchery also played down his importance, both as a receiver and a team leader, in the Jets’ run to their second straight A.F.C. championship game, but his teammates said they probably would not have made it without Cotchery, at 28 the reliable old hand. Cotchery caught fi ve passes for 96 yards in Sunday’s playoff victory over the Patriots, including a 58-yard reception on a short crossing pattern from Mark Sanchez that set up Holm-

es’s acrobatic third-down touchdown catch. But Cotchery is esteemed for other reasons. “He means everything to this team,” tight end Dustin Keller said Thursday. “If you lined up 11 Jerricho Cotcherys on offense, you’d never be stopped on a single drive. If he doesn’t have something perfected, completely, he’s practicing it until he does get it right.” Edwards called Cotchery “that glue” of the Jets. Edwards said he thought Cotchery knew the playbook better than Sanchez. If Edwards forgets what he is supposed to do on a play, he asks Cotchery, who knows everyone’s assignments. Cotchery said Edwards was sometimes such an excitable player that he feels the need to calm him, at least enough so that Edwards can execute his assignments. Edwards has said he is a happier person and a more productive player. Cotchery’s guidance is one reason. Cotchery caught 41 passes in 14 regular-season games. He had twice as many receptions in 2006 and 2007. Edwards caught 53 passes this season, and Holmes caught 52 even though he was suspended for the ﬁrst four games.

Unheralded Packers cornerback Williams is taking away doubt GREEN BAY, Wis. (NY Times) — There is no longer doubt that Tramon Williams, the dynamic cornerback of the Green Bay Packers, has the skills to succeed in the N.F.L.: athletic ability, great instincts, smarts and a willingness to work. Williams demonstrated those attributes in the last two weeks, intercepting three passes, one for a touchdown, to help the Packers reach the N.F.C. championship game against the Chicago Bears on Sunday. So why did no team draft Williams out of Louisiana Tech in 2006? Jack Bicknell III, his college coach, has an even better question about Williams, a Houma, La., native who joined the Bulldogs as a walk-on. “I’m wondering why we didn’t recruit him in our home state,” said Bicknell, now the assistant offensive line coach of the Giants. Williams has no answers and no interest in ﬁnding out. “I don’t know what they were looking at, at that point in time,” Williams said of N.F.L. scouts. “It’s probably something that I’ll never know.” He said it no longer mattered: “It’s about the Packers. They gave me a chance, and I’m thankful I’m able to play like I am.” According to the Packers, the 5-foot-11 Williams is the only N.F.L. nondrafted free agent with at least four interceptions in each of the past three seasons. This season he intercepted six passes

and defended 23, both career highs, while often outplaying his teammate at the other corner, Charles Woodson, the 2009 defensive player of the year. On Thursday Williams was named to his ﬁrst Pro Bowl, replacing the injured Asante Samuel of Philadelphia. “When these playoffs and the Super Bowl are completed,” Green Bay Coach Mike McCarthy said, “everybody in the country is going to know who Tramon Williams is.” Many already do. In awild-card game, Williams wrapped up a 21-16 victory over the Eagles by intercepting Michael Vick in the end zone. He added two more interceptions last week in a divisional victory in Atlanta, one a game-changer with the Falcons driving just before halftime. From studying ﬁ lm, Williams recognized Atlanta’s formation and anticipated that receiver Roddy White would run a short out pattern. Williams stayed back, baiting quarterback Matt Ryan into making the throw, then broke to the ball. Williams’s 70-yard interception return put the Packers ahead, 28-14. Green Bay won, 48-21. “I wasn’t doing much, just doing my job,” Williams said. “I was just put in position to make those plays.” The Packers recognized Williams’s contributions in late November, signing him to a four-year contract extension worth about $33 million. Linebacker A. J. Hawk said Williams deserved every good thing that came his way.

Country Ecology: Boreal chickadee It was in 1969 when I fi rst saw a brown-headed, boreal chickadee. That was when it just kept snowing and birds from the far north showed up at our feeders expressing that severe winter. February was the worst month, and two storms almost back-to-back broke our backs. Roofs collapsed at hockey rinks and other places that were not engineered for the snow load. Since then, I have neither seen snowfalls of that magnitude nor the little, brown-headed chickadees. Those who live north of the mountains do encounter them seasonally, however. The Audubon Society of New Hampshire has members that sight them in late summer and fall on the Jefferson Notch Road, or in Errol, or perhaps Waterville Valley. If you worked for the AMC, you might see them at Galehead Hut or Ethan Pond. This is one of the few birds of the northern spruce-fir forest to stick around after many of the Neotropical migrants that breed there have departed. The boreal chickadee is a subtly colored relative of the black-cap, and has a quieter demeanor, too, being more retiring. Boreal chickadees are dull-brownish above, with a grayish-brown cap, although their bib is black. Their cheek patch is white and the ear patch gray. The bird’s fl anks are rusty. It is also not as curious or vocal as its relative. The distinctive “nasal”

vocalizations of the boreal chickadee resemble those of a blackcapped chickadee suffering from a common cold. Boreal chickadee vocalizations are also peculiar in their lack of a whistled song. Boreal chickadees range largely across Canada and into Alaska, living among willows or stunted spruces of the taiga, where they nest in June in tree cavities often excavated by other birds. These are usually in soft, decaying stubs with fi rm exteriors. These sites are commonly 1 to 10 feet above the ground, with 4-9 white eggs inside that are speckled or spotted with reddish-brown. This species seems loath to leave its coniferous woods, as it is one of the few birds living completely within the northern boreal forests of Canada and the United States. The boreal chickadee is distinctly a permanent resident of dense evergreen forests. It occurs almost entirely there in such far regions, and is occasionally found only to a lesser extent in mixed woodlands. The forest habitats utilized by boreal chickadees are often wet, or at higher elevations, and generally composed of spruce species and balsam fir. This preference for spruce and fir thickets results in a patchy distribution of boreal chickadees in the southern limits of their range, where forests become largely deciduous. The northern limit of this chick-

ing Includ nd a Cakes ks! 6-pac

adee’s range coincides with the northern limit of white spruce (Picea glauca), for an environmental indicator question. Tree species appears to be more important for habitat selection than age of the forest, since boreal chickadees have been found to use both young and mature forests. During the breeding season, boreal chickadees tend to move to higher elevations if their range overlaps that of our well known black-capped chickadees. They are generally nonmigratory with only occasional irruptive movements or shortdistance migrations occurring. These limited movements tend to be in southward directions and are thought to develop during severe food shortages. Boreal chickadees feed principally on tree-inhabiting spiders, insects, pupae and eggs. They tend to be omnivorous and opportunistic supplementing this insectivorous diet with conifer seeds and occasionally fruit. Most of the foraging takes place in the middle and upper forest canopy. However, in the presence of blackcapped chickadees they may shift their foraging sites further up the trees. Food items are usually gathered from the trunk and branches through gleaning, by hanging head down or hovering. Large insects may be held under a foot in order to remove the wings see next page

That magical inside knee The conditions are close to perfect these days, so everyone should be taking advantage of the new snow and be out making turns. Speaking of making turns, here’s a focus that will make a good ski day great-both in and out of the race gates. Do you have trouble keeping your weight over your outside ski? Do you ﬁ nd your carves are not coming around quick enough? Do you need help getting your "inside half" out front as you come through your turns? The answer to all your woes is that magical inside knee. Many skiers ski with two long legs-and this really inhibits upper level dynamic skiing. Engage your edges, and then ﬂ ex your inside

from preceding page

before consumption. Interestingly, while foraging in late summer and autumn, boreal chickadees regularly store food items for retrieval during the harsher winter months. Both insects and seeds are wedged into crevices in the bark and then solidiﬁed in place with the bird’s saliva. Storage sites tend to be on the undersides of branches, permitting later easy recovery when these branches become snow laden. During winter, the chickadees will

half-bending that inside knee(and ankle and hip) so that 95 percent of your weight stays on the outside ski. The faster/tighter the arc, the more fl exed you want that inside knee-sometimes it comes right up into your chest. Outside leg-long; inside leg-fl exed using that magical inside knee. As you come through your turns, and you’re fl exing that inside knee, target where you want to go with that inside knee. The outside leg stays long and strong, carrying most of the load. The inside leg fl exes to keep weight over the outside ski, and that magical inside knee also leads you and your arc to wherever it is you want to go. Pretend there’s a flashlight beam coming out of your inside kneecap, and point it where

you want your arc to go. As you ﬂ ex that inside knee, keep leg pressure on that inside boot cuff by bringing that inside knee forward. Your skis will carve better and you’re in position for the next turn. Focus on that magical inside knee for the ﬁrst few runs of the day, and the rest of your day will be magical. Remember — best advice of all — take a lesson or attend a race clinic. You’ll have a great time and improve your time.

retrieve these cached items while they are prying into crevices in the bark or searching branches and twigs for hibernating insects. Foraging is done in social groups, except during the warmer months’ breeding season. Remaining overwinter in their remote subarctic areas as they do, wandering boreal chickadees must spend all their time during the short daylight hours eating continuously to stoke their metabolic ﬁres. If they don’t, they won’t reserve enough energy to see them through long

wintry nights. A wintering chickadee living at 40 below zero is said to spend something like 20 times as much time feeding each day as it would in the warmth of spring.

nomads as well, and made great watch dogs, through were to genial to be guard dogs. They love the active life and thrive on human companionship, and don’t do well without affection. They were considered good luck, and too special to be sold. Instead they were given away to promote good fortune and as a mark of great respect. Champney was released from Harvest Hills Animal Shelter in a similar manner. But back to Boulder Loop. In keeping with his ancestors, Champney loves to get out for a trek. However, Tibet is a high arid country, and Tibetan terriers were not bred to live constantly in deep snow. It can be too much of a good thing. On Boulder Loop, Bob had brought along Champney’s new booties. These were deﬁ nitely upscale booties, with Velcro straps, waterproof soles and muted synthetic fabric. In the past, to prevent getting ice stuck between Champney’s claws, Bob has applied musher’s wax to his feet before a winter hike. This had worked ok, but the new booties were promising-- no more frequent stops with Champney trying to bite the ice from between his claws. One funny thing-Bob had noticed on recent morning walks that Champney tended to hop like a kangaroo with his back legs, with the new booties on. We left our car in the big winter parking lot located off the Kancanagus Highway across from Blackberry Crossing Campground. Then we walked across the Albany Cover Bridge, where the view downstream between old beams

was spectacular in the bright penetrating sun. We put on our snowshoes on the other side of the bridge, and headed down the road a few hundred feet to the Boulder Loop Trail. We started up the trail. It was great to break trail with snowshoes in fresh powder. If the history of Tibetan terriers is fascinating, so is the history of snowshoes, which are considered as important an early discovery as the wheel. Not only that, but the spiking in popularity of snowshoes in the past twenty years after the incorporation of aluminum tubing instead of white ash (bless you, Baldy Boldoc), is equally, if now more, amazing. Most north country winter residents today own both a set of Tubbs snowshoes and a set of good tires. Champney, however, was unimpressed with breaking a wide trail, and wove about, creating a pattern all his own. He would occasionally pause to plant his face in the snow in his characteristic playful way, then moved on. A short way up the switchbacks, Bob looked down and saw that Champney’s right front bootie was gone. Oh No! Bob thought that perhaps it was the wrong size, or put on to loose, though there is a warning about tying them too tight. We backtracked a way but didn’t see it-- it was probably planted deep in the snow. But we decided to descend that way instead of doing the loop, in order to look again. There is nothing like the magic of a fresh day after a storm. Despite the loss of a new bootie, we were in good spirits. But just before the ﬁrst lookout, Bob looked back and watched as the other front bootie dropped off of Champney’s see next page

left foot. He picked it up and put it in his pocket. Champney's rear booties were more snug and continued to stay on. Occasionally he hopped like a kangaroo. We continued. Champney’s front feet began to ice up, and he stopped often to bite at them. At the same time, his face was becoming almost completely covered with snow. This was a recurring issue in the winter. Once, in cold conditions, his face had frozen up, and Bob had to literally guide him out blind, to be thawed out later. But in the powder snow, Champney could somehow still see, and we moved on. Small snowballs were also building up between his hind legs, and his rear stance got wider. Yet everything was right in the world. It was a beautiful day in the mountains. The three of us were exactly where we wanted to be at the moment.

In the dark hemlock saddle just before the summit ledges, the wind increased dramatically and we hid behind a tree to add more layers for the last walk up to the viewpoint. Unexpectedly, the wind diminished as we walked out into the open, protected by trees to our immediate north. We paused a short time at the lookout. Champney continued to plunge his face in the snow for the pure enjoyment of it. We had a great walk back down, though we couldn’t fi nd the bootie. If anybody climbs the left (north) loop of the Boulder Loop Trail and finds a dog bootie, call Bob Gordon at 447-2853. At a Tibetan monastery, one winter long ago, a frisky terrier, much beloved, walked out a back door, climbed a nearby low mountain and returned later covered with snow from head to foot. Relieved, a monk brought it in to a great central fire to thaw out. This was an ancestor of Champney.

the outfitters and dream about fi shing exotic places. One section of the fl oor is devoted to fl y tiers where some of the best tiers in the country demonstrate their work. Janet and I have already made plans to attend this Sunday. In years past when the Patriots were playing in the play offs the show would become a ghost town. It was fun to be there during those times because you were watch the tiers or attend the seminars without anyone else to bother you. This year the game starts at 4:30 p.m., when the show is closing down, so I doubt we will have that luxury this year. If you are a spin fi sherman or a hunter plan on attending the Eastern Fishing and Outdoor Exposition will be in Worcester at the DCU Center on Feb. 10 through Feb. 13. This is a great show and fun for the whole family. When my son was younger he always looked forward to going to this show with his Dad. There are always lots of boats and wildlife exhibits that kids especially enjoy. Bass fishermen will be right at home at this show as will hunters. This is one of the few shows left that have exhibits for the hunting community. Closer to home coming in February Tin Mountain Conservation Center will be hosting the New England Premier of the Fly Fishing Film Tour in Fryeburg. Mark your calendar right now for Feb. 5. The premier will be held at the Leura Eastman Performing Arts Center at 6:30 p.m. The events for the evening will include an auction and

raffles as well as the fi lms. If you have never seen any of the films presented at these events check out Tin Mountain’s web site for a link to a trailer for the films. I have always wanted to attend one of these film festivals, but they have always been just too far away to make the trip and now the New England Premier is going to be held in my back yard. Another winter event, close to home, is the fi fth annual Pink Fly Contest. We kicked the event off this past week so start working on your entry soon. In case you have forgotten what The Pink Fly Contest is all about the general idea is to tie a pink fl y and than enter it in the contest along with the modest entry fee of five bucks. All of the money raised goes to Casting for Recovery. The first and second place winners win a handsome plaque and the third place winner wins a $50 gift certificate to the North Country Angler. You may enter your flies at the North Country Angler, or one of these fi ne fl y shops: Eldridge Brothers Fly Shop in Arundel, Maine, Hanover Outdoors, in Hanover, New Hampshire or Stone River Outfi tters in Bedford, New Hampshire. All of the entries will be displayed at the New Hampshire Fly Fishing Show, March 5 and 6 at the Pelham Fish and Game Club in Pelham. So don’t let cabin fever get you down this winter plan on attending one or all of these great events. See you on the river. Bill and Janet Thompson own North Country Angler in North Conway.

Pequaket Kids Association helps Mother Seton House LOVELL — Under the guidance of coordinator Heather Sawin and assistant Dawn Ferguson, Pequaket Kids Association students taking part in the “Community Service Club” have been helping various groups in their community. Sawin reports that they made ﬁr pillows for the troops, decorated boxes for area Christmas food baskets, made ﬂeece pulls and dog treats for Service dogs of ACTS and fashioned the little hats for the babies of Mother Seton House. At the end of the summer session, the students tie-died undershirts and socks for Mother Seton House newborns. They still have plans to help promote dental health

in their school and purchase soccer balls for the “Building Peace through Play” programs of Heifer International. Pequaket Kids Association was made possible by a federally funded grant to C.A. Snow School in Fryeburg, Denmark School and New Suncook, all Twenty-First Century Community Learning Centers. The latter offer an after school enrichment program providing academic support, activities and snacks. Until the end of January you can help Mother Seton House to get a home for their moms and babies by voting in the Pepsi Refresh Project for a $250,000

grant: Text 104822 to Pepsi (73774), Friend Cyndi Broyer on Facebook, go to www.refresheverything.com/mothersetonhouse.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Lynn Johnston by Scott Adams

DILBERT

by Darby Conley

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your obligations may not line up as well with the dictates of your heart as they once did. Try to remember why you first committed yourself, and you will recapture your original gusto. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You will finish what you start, but it takes a great deal of effort to stay focused. If you can discipline your mind now, you will have even greater powers of discipline in the future and at the crucial time when you most need it. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19 ). One minute you can’t wait to open the next door, and the next minute you feel dread about what might be on the other side. This mix of anticipation and apprehension makes for a strange day, indeed. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Luck is with you as you try something new. There’s not much to lose with this one, as there is a minimal investment of time and energy and a great potential for growth. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll put your money behind the person you really believe in, even if you don’t quite understand what this person is doing and why. Your heart knows what your mind doesn’t. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 22). Your health is robust this year, and your confidence will be high. You’ll either move or make considerable upgrades to your home in February. An infatuation becomes a commitment in March. Your creative ideas lead to professional success in April. July brings new friends, as well as a better understanding of your history. Aries and Pisces people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 30, 41, 22 and 15.

Get Fuzzy

HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19 ). You notice that people expect something of you other than that which you are drawn to do. Can you help it that the choices you are attracted to happen to be unusual? You’ll strike a pleasing balance. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You will get clear about what you want from a certain person, and you will ﬁ nd a relationship groove that works for you. What you thought you wanted is different from what you actually need. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re attracted to people who are wildly driven to develop big plans and push their lives in an exciting direction. Just don’t let your own ambitions get lost in the whirlwind. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You will reach a point where there is nothing more you can do to inﬂ uence an outcome. It’s time to let fate take over. As your sign mate Julius Caesar said while crossing the river Rubicon, “The die is cast.” LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your spirit is restless. The wind whispers a promise in your ear: You will see the faraway lands you dream about. Furthermore, you will see them sooner if you start your travel research now. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your project lacks the momentum it once had. It’s normal to hit a plateau, and you should not take this as a sign that it’s time to stop. Muscle through. An encouraging Leo will help you. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Someone aches when you leave and thrills to your every return. Knowing that you have such a hold on this person’s emotions, it would be wrong to stay away too long.

SATURDAY PRIME TIME

Today is Saturday, Jan. 22, the 22nd day of 2011. There are 343 days left in the year.

Dial

Today’s Highlight in History: On Jan. 22, 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court, in its Roe v. Wade decision, legalized abortions using a trimester approach. On this date: In 1498, during his third voyage to the Western Hemisphere, explorer Christopher Columbus arrived at the present-day Caribbean island of St. Vincent. In 1901, Britain’s Queen Victoria died at age 81. In 1907, the Richard Strauss opera “Salome” made its American debut at the Metropolitan Opera in New York; its racy content sparked outrage and forced cancellation of additional performances. In 1917, President Woodrow Wilson pleaded for an end to war in Europe, calling for “peace without victory.” (By April, however, America also was at war.) In 1922, Pope Benedict XV died; he was succeeded by Pius XI. In 1944, during World War II, Allied forces began landing at Anzio, Italy. In 1959, 12 workers were killed in the Knox Mine Disaster in Pennsylvania. In 1973, former President Lyndon B. Johnson died at age 64. In 1995, Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy died at the Kennedy compound at Hyannis Port, Mass., at age 104. In 2008, actor Heath Ledger was found dead of an accidental prescription overdose in New York City; he was 28. One year ago: President Barack Obama tried to revive his battered agenda and rally Democrats with a renewed emphasis on jobs during a town hall meeting in Elyria, Ohio. The “Hope for Haiti Now” telethon raised over $66 million. Conan O’Brien ended his brief tenure on “The Tonight Show” after accepting a $45 million buyout from NBC to leave the show he’d long dreamed of hosting after only seven months. Actress Jean Simmons, 80, died in Santa Monica, Calif. Actor James Mitchell, 89, died in Los Angeles. Today’s Birthdays: Former Sen. Birch Bayh (D-Ind.) is 83. Actress Piper Laurie is 79. Actor Seymour Cassel is 76. Author Joseph Wambaugh is 74. Actor John Hurt is 71. Singer Steve Perry is 62. Country singermusician Teddy Gentry (Alabama) is 59. Movie director Jim Jarmusch is 58. Hockey Hall-of-Famer Mike Bossy is 54. Actress Linda Blair is 52. Actress Diane Lane is 46. Actor-rap DJ Jazzy Jeff is 46. Country singer Regina Nicks (Regina Regina) is 46. Rhythm-and-blues singer Marc Gay (Shai) is 42. Actor Gabriel Macht is 39. Actor Balthazar Getty is 36. Actor Christopher Kennedy Masterson is 31. Pop singer Willa Ford is 30. Actress Beverley (cq) Mitchell is 30. Rock singer-musician Ben Moody is 30.

Help Wanted by Abigail Van Buren

SON YEARNS TO FIND A WAY TO CONNECT WITH CRITICAL DAD

DEAR ABBY: I have a father who’s always mean to me. He ﬁnds reasons to yell at me -- for example, the trash isn’t taken out or the dishes aren’t washed. He isn’t involved in my educational life at all. When my teachers request a conference with my parents, he almost never shows up. When I graduated from elementary school and middle school, he didn’t come to either of the ceremonies. I’ll talk to my dad about these things sometimes, and he says he’s sorry and the next day he’ll buy me something to try and make it up to me. He can be really nice when he wants to be, but most of the time he’s a mean person. He is always putting me down, calling me an idiot and saying I’m worthless and a good-for-nothing son. I really want to become friends with my father, but it seems he doesn’t. What can I do? -WANTS A FATHER IN SOUTH CAROLINA DEAR WANTS A FATHER: You may not be the perfect son, but you are NOT good-for-nothing, worthless or an idiot. What you have described is sad, because this may be a “parenting technique” your dad learned from his own father. I don’t know whether he’s an alcoholic, a workaholic or what other reasons there may be for his absence and his guilt. But “Father of the Year” he’s not, and if you want a male you can look up to, you will have to ﬁ nd one elsewhere. Talk to your mother about this if you haven’t, and ask her to guide you. You have my sympathy. DEAR ABBY: My son and his girlfriend of 13 years, “Liza,” broke up, and my son has moved out of the house they bought together. They still have a lot to settle, but so far, they remain on reasonably good terms. The news of their split has left my wife and me feeling bad. We developed a bond with Liza over

the years and we are unsure how to proceed from here. We feel she has become a part of our family, especially since she has no real family of her own. We would like to express our sorrow for their breakup, wish her the best in the future and, perhaps, maintain friendly contact. We do not want to upset our son by doing this. Please advise me on how we should proceed. What is the proper approach for parents and other family members in this situation? -- CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE IN OTTAWA DEAR CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE: You’re asking the wrong person. The person you should discuss this with is your son. While it is understandable that you feel Liza is a member of the family, the truth is she isn’t in the literal sense. The extent to which you keep her in your lives may depend upon the circumstances of the breakup. While the extended family may wish to maintain relationships with her on an individual basis, whether your son would be comfortable having her present during family holidays is yet to be determined. DEAR ABBY: I am 17. My 15-year-old sister and I know each other’s thoughts and feelings almost as well as our own. Unfortunately, we also know when the other’s funny bone is “tickly” -- and it starts a giggling ﬁt. When we start, we can’t stop. We get these ﬁ ts at the most inappropriate times. We are at our wit’s end. Can you help? -- GIGGLE GIRLS IN LANCASTER, PA. DEAR GIGGLE GIRLS: Yes. When you know something is funny, but it is inappropriate to start giggling, the two of you should not make eye contact. That will solve your problem.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at: Dear Abby, c/o The Conway Daily Sun, PO Box 1940, North Conway, NH 03860

Arnold Mandel

SAN DIEGO, Calif. — Arnold Mandel of Rancho Bernardo, Calif., passed away peacefully at La Casa de las Campanas retirement community on Jan. 20, 2011, after a nine-month-long battle with pancreatic cancer. Arnold was born in Brooklyn, N.Y. April 23, 1924, the younger of two sons to Rose and Albert Mandel. He attended the public schools in Brooklyn, and then Brooklyn College, earning a bachelor of arts degree in 1944. After graduating from Brooklyn College, Arnold was drafted into the Army during World War II like most young men of his generation. He served on the islands of Tinian and Saipan in the South Paciﬁ c. After his discharge from the Army in 1946, Arnold married Lenora Ross, also from Brooklyn, N.Y., the love of his life. He then attended New England School of Optometry under the "G.I." Bill. In 1949 Arnold and Lenora moved to Manchester, N.H., where they raised three sons. In Manchester he and a business partner operated "Mandel and Duclos Optometrists" until 1975. At that time, Arnold and Lenora moved to Syracuse, N.Y., where he was employed by various vision care companies as an optometrist. Following his discharge from the Army, Arnold joined the National Guard Armory in Manchester then transferred to the Army Reserve 331st General Hospital in Massachusetts. He retired from the Army Reserve in 1974 as a Lieutenant Colonel. Arnold is survived by his wife of 64 years, Lenora; sons David of North Conway; Alan of Poughkeepsie, N.Y.; Robert of El Cerrito, Calif.; grandson Aaron of El Cerrito; and granddaughters Lisa of El Cerrito and Justine of Poughkeepsie, N.Y. Funeral services were conducted on Friday, Jan. 21.

Efﬁngham Town Column Henry Spencer 539-4964

Public weighs in on wetlands, groundwater zoning amendments During the past week the Effi ngham Planning Board held one meeting and a work session concerning the proposed amendments to Effi ngham’s zoning regulations. Tuesday evening’s meeting was the fi rst chance the public had to offer their comments, voice their concerns or ask questions. It is a pleasure to report that the number of locals on hand represented one of the largest gatherings not involving food or snacks to have taken place this year in Effi ngham. It was literally standing room only in the municipal offi ces meeting room and must be reported that the reactions to the proposed replacement of all of the wetland regulations and the addition of a ground water protection zoning overlay district, while very direct and pointed, were generally both asked and listened to politely. Any proper listing of the public’s concerns is not possible in so short a column and it should be stated that the following synopsis of primary concerns are your reporter’s recollection of a very long hearing, in which he took part as a landowner in Effi ngham. Consequently complete disinterest and objectivity should not be assumed. One primary concern was the application of set backs from certain geographical features of land relating to wetlands as well as surface and running waters. There were extensive discussions on how much land it was reasonable to entail under new regulations and whether certain of these entailments made sense. Issues related to farm animals and their proximity to wetlands garnered substantial input from the public and diverse explanations from the board. see next page

Another line of inquiry and discussion frequently taking signiﬁcant time arose from concerns over the meaning and implication of certain wording in the proposed new articles.

Bring money for There can be no argument that between the new wetland regs and the addition of a groundwater overlay district, that those things a landowner can do on her or his land without a thought to regulations will be limited. To understand whether or not regulations to protect wetlands and surface and ground waters are needed, one can see with even a quick look at human history that without required protections these resources tend to take in on

The reactions of those present at the hearings indicated the public felt there to be signiﬁ cant problems with the articles as written.

Albany Town Column Mary Leavitt 447-1710/Dorothy Solomon 447-1199

Selectmen discuss county sheriff’s department coverage of Albany Due to weather conditions, the Jan. 12 selectmen's meeting was postponed to Jan. 13. The town ofﬁ ce was closed on Jan. 12. Always call the ofﬁ ce before journeying out on bad weather days to avoid problems. Though the law enforcement forum held at town hall was well planned, it was a disappointment that few Albany residents attended. Sheriff's deputy Michael Santuccio came to the selectmen's meeting this Wednesday to bring a report of the calls to the Carroll County Sheriff's Department from Albany during the Jan. 1 to Jan. 19 time period. Though Albany is a small town, the demand he thought called for a law enforcement presence. He discussed the cost of such a presence with the selectmen; whether it should be an hourly coverage or a full-time deputy coverage. A full-time deputy would still be under the authority of the sheriff's department, but he/ she would work solely in Albany and be housed at the town hall. Deputy Santuccio was asked by the selectmen to get together a quote for both possibilities so that something could be presented to the town's people in March. Colleen Cormack was at the Wednesday meeting as well to discuss the Sunday closing of the Conway Transfer Station. She is looking into the possibility that both Albany and Eaton, which both pay Conway for the use of the facility, should have been at the Solid Waste District board meeting that decided on the Sunday closure. The planning board, after interviewing several people interested in the position of secretary to the board, voted to hire Theresa Gallagher. The hiring was done by the selectmen. The planning board's Jan. 12 meeting was held on Jan. 13 due to the weather. At the board meeting the members reviewed driveway permit regulations and drafted proposed zoning ordinance amendments for yard sales, trailers and campers. There was also discussion on the amount of time allowed for yard sales and a limit to the use EFFINGHAM from page 35

Now we get to the good news. At a work session held by the planning board on Tuesday night, while essentially unknown to most of the public and consequently lightly attended, the planning board worked diligently to alter the proposed wetland replacement amendment. Attendance by your reporter allows for

of trailers and campers as living quarters to 45 days. Diane Sweeney's daughter Sara has gone to Colorado looking for a job. Good luck to you Sara! Hopefully, things will pick up here in the valley so that our young people can stay here and earn a living. I attended the Mount Washington Valley Community and Business Leaders Breakfast Forum regarding affordable housing on Thursday. Among the speakers were Theresa Kennett, Mount Washington Valley Housing Coalition director, Ed Butler, chair of the Mount Washington Valley Housing Coalition, George Reagan of NH Housing Finance Authority, Evelyn Whelton representing Northway Bank, and Chris Davies of Great Bridge Properties, a group developing the Conway Pines project. Those in the room agreed that there is a need in the area for more affordable housing so that people who work in the area can afford to live here. Gibson Center: On Tuesday, Jan. 25 Gordon Wood will share his slides from his trip on the Seine River. Get an idea of what that trip is like, and then join with friends on the Gibson Center's own trip there. There will be a slide show about a family's cruise to Bermuda on Thursday. Have lunch and enjoy the show. Library: Monday, Jan. 24, at 10:15 a.m. the morning book group discusses "The Hearts of Horses" by Molly Gloss. Please meet upstairs in the reading room. At 7 p.m. on that day, Bill Toretti, doctor of homeopathy explains about homeopathy and holistic health. This is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served. On Wednesday at 4:30 p.m. People Who Read will discuss "Unwind" by Neil Shusterman. This is for those 13 and older. Tin Mountain: Tin Mountain Conservation Center received the 2010 Land Ethic for Tomorrow Award on Dec. 2 from the New Hampshire Land Surveyors Association. It was the New Hampshire Land Surveyors Association 41st annual meeting held at the Courtyard Marriott Grap-

pone Conference Center in Concord. Dr. Michael Cline, Director of Tin Mountain accepted the plaque from Doug Durnell, the award's chair. On Saturday, Jan. 29 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. meet at Grants Store in Brownﬁ eld and explore the winter landscape of the Brownﬁ eld Bog on cross country skis. Dress warmly and bring a lunch, but leave the dog at home. The White Mountain Waldorf School is holding a lecture at Salyards Center for the Arts on Tuesday, Jan. 25. A reception will be held at 6:30 p.m. and the lecture begins at 7 p.m. Kim John Payne will speak about bullying, isolation and teasing among children and how to begin solving this growing problem. Eugene Shannon and his brother Kelly are continuing their work to aid the people of Haiti. They travel back there often and are preparing to build an orphanage for the children. They have some funds but could always use more. If you would like to help this project, you can contact Haitian Relief, at P. O. Box 681, Conway, NH 03818 or e-mail haitianrelief@live.com. Interested in playing Bingo and/or Scrabble? Join the fun at the Recreation Center in Center Conway weekly. Bingo is played on Tuesdays at 9 a.m. and Scrabble on Mondays at 9 a.m. For more information, call the rec center or Edna Heath. Stan and I returned on Tuesday, just in time for the snowstorm, from our cruise in the Caribbean. Though the weather was delightful at the beginning of the trip, it turned cold and rainy toward the end. Nonetheless the cruise was lovely. We spent three days in Fort Lauderdale where the weather was cool as well. But, we did get to visit with a friend undergoing therapy for Parkinson's Disease and to see my young cousin before she returned to Argentina from her visit to the United States. All in all, it's good to be home though. Looks like a winter weekend ahead. Enjoy yourselves; keep warm and safe. Have a great week!

the statement that every issue raised by the previous night’s gathering was addressed and in all case changes were made. Whether or not any single resident feels the newest version of the land use regulations now represent reasonable and needed protections is a personal decision, but it is also the truth that making this decision on the originally submitted draft of the regu-

lations would be a mistake. Based upon the publicly expressed concerns brought forth at the public hearing, changes have been made to the articles. For those who made it to the public hearing, reading the newest versions will be a pleasant reminder that your comments actually do matter. There will be another public hearing held Jan. 31, at 7 p.m. at the municipal ofﬁces.

HOME OF THE WEEK

Carroll County sales rise, prices increase in 2010 The number of New Hampshire homes sold statewide in 2010 dipped slightly from 2009 levels, while the median price of those homes showed a modest increase, according to sales data released recently by the New Hampshire Association of Realtors. Carroll County saw a much brighter picture with the second year of increased home sales and the first year since 2007 with an increase in residential home prices. Statewide, there were 10,525 residential units sold in 2010, down 2.6 percent from the 10,810 sold in 2009, N.H. Association of Realtors reported. Meanwhile, the median price was $215,000 in 2010, ahead of the $212,000 in 2009 by 1.4 percent. Those numbers were helped by a December uptick, in which sales were ahead of December 2009 by 2.2 percent and median price was 3.8 percent better than December 2009. And while the December increases offered hope for a stronger housing market in 2011, New Hampshire Realtors are taking a cautious approach. “There is still no clear trend line that would give us a real sense of how this market will play out in 2011,” said N.H. Association of Realtors president Tom Riley, a 35-year veteran of the real estate industry and president of Riley Enterprises in Bedford. “We can say that conditions such as high inventory, competitive prices and low interest rates all point to the potential for increased activity, but there’s really no way to predict in a market like this.” New Hampshire witnessed six consecutive months of sales increases to start 2010, before seeing decreases in each of the next five. December was the first month since June in which unit sales increased compared to the same month of the prior year. Much of that volatility has been attributed to the home-buyer tax credit, which spurred increases in the market through late 2009 and early 2010. Following its expiration, sales and median price numbers dropped for a number of months before the December rise. “It won’t be until the middle of 2011 that we’ll have a better handle on how quickly the market will recover,” Riley said. An Exeter demographer, meanwhile, is taking an optimistic approach. Peter Francese, director of Demographic Forecasts for the New England Economic Partnership and a columnist for N.H. Association of Realtors, said that “indicators point to most robust home sales for spring and summer 2011.” Francese cited the Philadelphia Federal Reserve Bank’s index of economic activity, which shows New Hampshire’s index as the highest in the nation, while the state’s unemployment rate is among the lowest five in the country. “Our state is clearly moving to a period of economic growth that can only be good news for our housing market,” Francese said. In terms of local markets, four of the state’s 10 counties saw unit sales increases in 2010 compared to 2009, including Grafton County with a 6.7 percent jump and Belknap County with a see COUNTY page 38

Today’s Home of the Week is a gambrel-style log home situated on ﬁve acres in Jackson.

The ultimate Jackson ski home JACKSON — This classic log cabin faces the slopes of Black Mountain high above Jackson Village. If you have dreamed of a special property in the mountains, this large four-bedroom home could be perfect. The fi rst thing you notice is the huge five-acre lot with sweeping fi elds and large trees, then the classic New England log cabin with a farmer’s porch and beautiful horse bar. As you enter the farmer’s kitchen complete with a wood-cooking stove in addition to the modern kitchen, you can imagine huge family gatherings. The living room boasts a massive floor to ceiling fi replace. An addition, off the back of the home is an oversize formal dining room with a woodstove and hearth. Upstairs are four large bedrooms, one with a romantic woodstove hookup for those cold nights in the mountains. Paul Mayer, broker/owner of Black Bear Realty in Glen, is the listing agent for the house, which is priced at $475,900. Mayer can be reached at (603) 383-8080 or paul@mayer.net

COUNTY from page 37

4.7 percent increase. Hillsborough County saw the most dramatic unit sales decrease, down 9.1 percent in 2010. Median price, on the other hand, increased statewide as a whole and in all but two counties. Carroll County residential home sales increased 10 percent in 2009 and an additional 0.6 percent in 2010. Prices of homes in Carroll County rose 2.7 percent. “While the additional home sales are welcome, the most important number to watch is the increase in home prices,” said Paul Mayer, president of the White Mountain Board of Realtors. “Strong price support shows a reversal in the market. Prices in the White Mountains

should continue the trend as secondhome buyers and retirees return to the market.” Area condominium sales were also up, 10.6 percent over 2009 and prices increased 9.4 percent in Carroll County during 2010. “The strong increase in condo prices has sent a signal to all buyers that it is time to get off the sidelines and take advantage of the rates and low prices,” said Mayer. Riley continued to stress the increased opportunities for buyers in today’s market. “The bottom line is that with interest rates, prices and inventory all extremely favorable for buyers, those with good credit have an excellent opportunity to get into the market right now, where they might not have in the past.”

Tough market for yacht sales BY GERALDINE FABRIKANT NEW YORK TIMES

What is tougher than having one sleek mega-yacht for sale in a glutted market? The answer, for the moment at least, is having two mega-yachts on the market. In boom times, yacht enthusiasts would order a new dream boat and keep their old one for the two or three years the builder needed to complete the new boat. Then, they would quickly sell the older yacht to impatient new millionaires and billionaires eager for their requisite status symbols. But that equation changed with the ﬁnancial crisis two years ago and took the superyacht market down with it. Some of the wealthy have ended up like Peter A. Hochfelder, the principal and founder of Brahman Capital Management, a private investment ﬁ rm in Manhattan. Mr. Hochfelder already owned a 134-foot Lürssen, named Blind Date, that was built in 1995. He commissioned a second boat in 2007, a 161foot Trinity yacht, that he christened with the same name. It was completed in 2009. Now, Mr. Hochfelder, who declined to be interviewed, has put both on the market, in the hope that he can sell at least one. He has been asking $9.5 million for the older yacht and $33 million for the new one, which is big enough to sleep 12 guests. Maintaining a big yacht, after all, is expensive. Yacht specialists estimate that Mr. Hochfelder pays about $4 million a year to run his two boats. “It was a fool’s paradise,” said Malcolm Maclean, editor at BoatInternational. com, a Web site that tracks the yacht industry. Now, he said of the owners who cannot get rid of their boats, “They have caught very bad colds.” By one estimate, 300 new boats were sold annually worldwide from the mid-1990s until the 2008 collapse, when sales dropped to about 100 boats. Gone are the days when a speculator could systematically put yachts up on the market and count on a quick sale. Ian McGlinn, the British car salesman, who died in June, made his fortune by lending Anita L. Roddick, the founder of the Body Shop cosmetics chain, £4,000 ($6,345) to open a second store. According to several yacht brokers,

Mr. McGlinn commissioned a series of boats during the boom, all called Tigre d’Or, and sold them at a profit to buyers unwilling to spend two years waiting for a boat. Today, it certainly is a buyer’s market, with everything from 100-foot yachts to those measuring more than 200 feet for sale. The 161-foot Mine Games, a boat built by Trinity Yachts of Gulfport, Miss., was put on the market for $28 million several months ago, for example, because its owner, Chris Cline, who heads Cline Resource and Development, a mine development company, had a larger boat on order. The industry has picked up a bit in recent months, although most buyers remain on the sidelines. “The inquiry level is picking up,” said William S. Smith III, vice president of Trinity, the largest custom yacht builder in the United States. “And there is more activity in the used-boat market. But there is still a lot of inventory, and as long as that is the case, people are keeping their hands in their pockets.” Fear is part of the problem. The wealthy are holding on to their money, and even speculators who built yachts, confident that they could fi nd willing buyers among the new rich, are largely on the sidelines. Nor has the drop-off been confi ned to the United States. “Lehman Brothers went down during the Monaco boat show of 2008,” Mr. Smith said. “And all of these European brokers were smug at first because they thought the European market was decoupled from the U.S. market. But before the show was over, they were not so smug. It had affected everybody.” Some specialists contend that Americans, who had long accounted for a majority of the yacht market, have lost so much money that they are leery of committing to any big-ticket items. Whether that suggests a permanent shift toward buyers in the fast-growing economies around the world is still unclear, but several boat brokers noted that among recent sales, one has been to a Mexican mogul and two to Malaysian businessmen.

other luxuries, was sold earlier last year. Although the price was never disclosed, the asking price was 135 million euros ($179 million). Specialists say the actual purchase price was $100 million, and the buyer was a Mexican who has renamed the boat TV. Several yacht brokers say the new owner is Emilio Azcárraga Jean, the billionaire head of Grupo Televisa, the giant Mexican TV and telenovella company. Lourdes Dussauge, a spokeswoman for Mr. Azcárraga, declined to comment. The Chinese have not come into the market, although brokers are hoping that the ultimate status symbol will catch their attention. “It is a big question mark whether the Chinese will embrace yachting,” said Bob McKeage, a yacht broker in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. “So far it is mostly Hong Kong Chinese, not mainland people.” It remains a question mark because forecasting cultural appetites for yachts is not simple. He noted, for example, that there was vast wealth in Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Venezuela, but only the Venezuelans were avid yacht buyers. While rank speculation may be gone from the yacht market, there are still

billionaires who like to sail the seven seas and are willing to pay for that pleasure. Some yacht brokers say that Americans are holding back now largely because they fear being viewed as profligate when many people have lost jobs, and that they will soon return. And there are signs of life. Mr. Maclean of BoatInternational.com said an American had ordered a 344-foot yacht from Feadship, the Dutch shipbuilder. Meanwhile, M/Y Musashi, a new yacht for Lawrence J. Ellison, the chief executive of Oracle, is undergoing sea tests. But given the long lead time to build boats, it was probably ordered before the ﬁ nancial crisis, as was the yacht Silver Shalis for the real estate developer Larry Silverstein. Certainly, the escalating prices for assets like art and antiques suggest that the superrich are increasingly opening their purses and looking for investments that will hold their value. But whether Americans will dominate the market when better times return is a matter of debate among brokers. Mr. Smith, for example, said: “The Russians are coming back and so are the Indians. I don’t think Americans will dominate it as they once did.”

Empty house: How to look at the vacant home from both sides of the real estate transaction BY MARILYN KENNEDY MELIA CTW FEATURES

Sell. Buy. Move. It’s those three steps — in that order — that make up the delicate dance home sellers aim to perform Sometimes, the steps get reversed, with sellers moving and leaving behind a vacant home that’s up for sale. Indeed, the number of vacant homes reached a high early this past year, reaching nearly 19 million, according to Census figures. It may not be the plan, but is an empty home necessarily fi lled with diffi culties for a determined seller? Like the proverbial half-empty, half-full glass, experts say there are both positive and negative aspects to marketing vacant properties. Here, insight for both sellers and buyers on how to look at the empty home. Motivation Matters An empty home means the owner has moved on, and now may be paying mortgages on both a new home and his old one. But in this market, buyers shouldn’t assume that means the owner is more motivated than other sellers, warns agent Ellen Klein, with Century 21 Christel Realty in Rockaway, N.J. “It all depends on the individual circumstances,” says Klein. “You can have a very motivated seller who’s living in the home — perhaps because they can’t afford the home.” Clutter-Free Viewing Although a “homey” home, perhaps with the sweet smell of baked cookies wafting through the air, is a listing agent’s stereotypical dream, stark spaces do have advantages. “If a home is vacant and has a lockbox, it raises

While clutter-free is a plus, the downside of empty spaces is that they deprive buyers of a vision of what it would be like to live in a particular home, a critical factor in prompting a purchase, say agents. the number of showings,” observes Debbie Sinagoga, associate broker at Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty in Scottsdale, Ariz. “That’s because agents don’t have to make an appointment. Also, they may be passing by with clients and decide to stop by on the ﬂy.” Home sellers often have to scramble to clear clutter, and refuse spontaneous showings, agrees Chris Longfelder Doucet of Realogics Sotheby’s International Realty in Seattle. Imagination Required While clutter-free is a plus, the downside of empty spaces is that they deprive buyers of a vision of what it would be like to live in a particular home, a critical factor in prompting a purchase, say agents. “The typical person really isn’t that visual,” observes Sinagoga. “They have to see furniture in place.” In an empty home, adds Klein, agents have to do more talking. “I try to point out the advantages of different rooms, and point out where they could place furniture.” see VACANT page 42

Lived-In Look Some companies see opportunity in vacant homes, by providing furniture, accessories - and even people to live in the property and keep it well-maintained. Franchise ﬁ rms of Nashville-based ShowHomes. com, for instance, typically provide owners of middle-upper and upper-bracket priced homes with furniture and a “renter” who agrees to pristine maintenance, says Thomas Scott, ShowHomes.com vice president. When the home is sold, the ﬁ rm collects a fee that ranges from one-quarter of 1 percent to threequarters of 1 percent of the sales price, says Scott. Most clients call after they’ve had a vacant home on the market for a few months, Scott adds, and have been told that “the empty home doesn’t

smell right or look right,” he explains. Right Policy When owners leave their home, they need to say hello — to their homeowner’s insurance agent, warns Don Griffi n, vice president for personal lines at the Property Casualty Insurers Association of America. “Risks rise on vacant properties,” he explains. Unless owners notify the insurance fi rm their home is vacant and make arrangements for a policy that will cover certain hazards, like fi re, but not other perils associated with vacancies, like vandalism, they can be denied coverage when they make a claim. Some states allow insurers to drop coverage if a home is vacated, says Griffi n. But in many cases owners can arrange for new, albeit more expensive, coverage. © CTW Features

Leanne Smith posts her best World Cup result; ﬁnishes 8th in Super G BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CORTINA, Italy — Conway’s Leanne Smith posted the best result of U.S. Ski Team career on Friday, cracking the top 10 in a Super G race in Cortina d’Ampezzo. She placed eighth in the race, which was won by teammate Lindsey Vonn. It marked the first time three U.S. women have cracked the top 10 in a race there. “She had a great day,” said Laurel Zengilowski, her sister, who is the head ski coach at Kennett High School. “I know she’s really pleased with how things went. Smith, 23, the daughter of Paula and Joe Smith, of Conway, started 35th and cranked her way to an eighth place fi nish in a time of 1:12.48. “I’m really excited, it’s Leanne Smith been a long time where I thought I was able to do this,” said Smith, who has been racing at the World Cup level since 2007. “I had a good inspection and I had a good feeling. I just tried to lay it down and put it all on the line and I think I did that. I’m pretty excited about how it ended up.” Smith, a former standout for Kennett High and the MWV Ski Team, recorded her previous high on the same slope a year ago with a 15th-place result in the downhill, a feat she repeated this season in Lake Louise, Canada. On skis at age 6, Smith followed sister Laurel into skiing at Cranmore, the heralded Mount Washington Valley ski area made famous when instructional legend Hannes Schneider arrived from Austria in 1938. Smith skied for Cranmore’s race team until she entered Kennett High, where she continued racing. She spent a year at University of New Hampshire and took leave for winter 2007 when she moved to the Mount Washington Valley Ski Team and erupted for a breakout season as a double NorAm champion. At the site of her first-ever World Cup podium, Vonn tallied her 38th career win. Vonn, who hasn’t fi nished lower than second in a speed race all season, earned her fi fth victory of the season and second in a Super G with a smooth run down the 1745-meter Olympia Delle Tofane course. The 20th racer out of the start, Vonn led at every split and crossed the fi nish line in 1:11.66 seconds to beat second-place finisher Anja Paerson of Sweden by 0.43 seconds. Vonn also climbed 71 points closer to overall leader Maria Riesch of Germany (ninth on the day), who currently owns a 1052 to 927 advantage. “I’ve been making a lot of mistakes in the last few races so today I just tried to have a clean and solid run and I’m really happy with it,” said Vonn who has become a high-speed recovery expert this season. “This gives me a lot of confidence for the next two races this weekend.” Vonn’s winning time bumped her teammate Julia Mancuso off the podium by 0.13 seconds into fourth place with a time of 1:12.26. It was Mancuso’s fourth top-five finish of the season. U.S. teammates Laurenne Ross and Stacey Cook also overcame late starts to hit the points in 19th and 21st, respectively. Chelsea Marshall finished 39th. “There was a very fast set for the Super G and the girls were ready for it,” said U.S. head coach Alex Hoeldmoser. “We laid it out that it had to be full attack on that thing and that’s what they did. It was really cool to see how they charged.” Women’s World Cup racing continues in Cortina Saturday with a downhill. A second super G is scheduled for Sunday.
