JACKSON — There are a pair of races shaping up on the town ballot this election season. Two people have thrown their hats into the ring for a vacant selectman’s seat and for town clerk. After a year hiatus, Gino Funicella is looking to return to the selectmen’s ofﬁ ce. The former two-term selectman is being challenged by longtime Jackson resident John Allen. Incumbent Dave Mason is not seeking re-election.

CONWAY — Should Kennett High students receive credit for driver’s education? Not in its current format, according to principal Neal Moylan. But Moylan told the Joint Boards Tuesday he would be willing to look at that option if the program were offered under a different format that was more under his direction. see DRIVER’S ED page 8

Piano on a sandbar mystery solved

MIAMI (NY Times) — So the now world-famous “piano bar” was not left in Biscayne Bay by the independent filmmakers Billy and Anais Yaeger, who claimed that the feat would be featured in their fi lm trilogy titled “Jesus of Malibu.” Nor was the grand piano the same one used by the upstart fi lmmaker James Marcus Haney, a 22-yearold fi lm student at University of Southern California, who shot a music video of an eerily similar piano on a beach in Del Mar, Calif., in September 2007. “Hey,” Mr. Haney said, “stranger things have happened, right?” No, this stunt was the brainchild of a 16-year-old high school student from Miami Shores named Nicholas Harrington, who figured a video of the old grand piano, which he had set on fi re (twice, it turns out), would make a rather, well, inspired college entrance exam essay. His idea was to shoot a video on the sandbar, about 200 yards off North Miami’s shoreline, with the piano, bagpipes and a submersible belonging to MAST Academy, where Nicholas is a junior. “We were thinking of a big production, a music video epic,” Nicholas told The Miami Herald, which finally resolved the mystery of the piano-in-the-bay late Wednesday.

Yet another storm buries the Northeast (NY Times) — A two-stage winter storm struck, paused, gathered its breath and delivered a crippling blow to the Northeast early Thursday, dumping more than a foot of snow, closing airports and schools, stranding commuters and shattering January records. At least two deaths have been attributed to the storm. In Delaware, a Department of Transportation plow struck and killed a 51-year-old woman, Denise McFad-

den, as she was walking in Wilmington at 6:30 a.m., according to the Delaware State Police. And in northwest Washington, a tree crashed into a car at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, killing one of its four passengers, according to the Metropolitan Police Department. The storm, appearing as a giant white smudge over the Northeast on radar maps, knocked out power to half a million people in and around Washington,

though it reserved its heaviest snowfall for New York City and the surrounding area. Nineteen inches of heavy, wet snow fell on Central Park, tied for the highest total in the region and only an inch less than the 20 inches that paralyzed the city a month ago, according to the National Weather Service. Parts of Connecticut and New Jersey received nearly as much, and snowfalls totaled at least a foot from Boston to Philadelphia.

Opposition in Egypt gears Thousands in Yemen protest up for major Friday protest CAIRO (NY Times) — Mohamed ElBaradei, the Nobel laureate who has become a leading opponent of President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt, returned to Cairo on Thursday in an attempt to galvanize youth-led street protests that extended into a third day across the country. Smoke rose over the city of Suez on Thursday as sometimes violent clashes continued there. In the capital, a relative calm settled over the streets in anticipation

of a new wave of demonstrations anticipated for Friday. Raising the stakes, the Muslim Brotherhood, long the country’s largest organized opposition group, intends to end days of ofﬁ cial inaction to enter fully into protests on Friday. On its Web site, the group said it would join “with all the national Egyptian forces, the Egyptian people, so that this coming Friday will be the general day of rage for the Egyptian nation.”

BEIRUT, Lebanon (NY Times) — Yemen, one of the Middle East’s most impoverished countries and a haven for Al Qaeda militants, became the latest Arab state to witness mass protests on Thursday, as thousands of Yemenis took to the streets in the capital and other regions to demand a change in government. The scenes broadcast across the Arab world were reminiscent of demonstrations in Egypt this week and the month of protests that brought down the government in Tunisia. But as they climaxed by midday, the marches appeared to be carefully organized and mostly peaceful, though there were reports of arrests by security forces. Predictably, the protests were most aggressive in the restive south. In Sana, at least 10,000 protesters led by opposition members and youth activists gathered at Sana University, and around 6,000 more gathered elsewhere, participants, lawmakers and activists reached by telephone said. Many carried pink banners and wore pink headbands.

Where does road salt come from? BY CAROL ROBIDOUX THE UNION LEADER

Before you step out onto your snowcovered front porch steps this morning, or drive down your snow-packed driveway, making a left turn onto the slush-covered street to start your daily commute, don’t forget to thank the good people of Chile, who have been keeping New Englanders moving for years, even on the snowiest of mornings. That’s right. Tropical salt dug from the Tarapaca Salt Flat in Iquique, Chile, is shipped directly to Portsmouth, where it’s carted away by trucks that distribute it to a salt terminal near you -- if you live within 125 miles of the Seacoast. And it’s not just happening here in New Hampshire, but that same salt is being delivered to towns and cities along the East Coast, from Maine to South Carolina. If you are among those who have taken the importance of rock salt with a grain of salt all these years, now is as good a time as any to consider how the 80,000 annual tons of sodium chloride imported to New Hampshire from South America gets here, and why. Oh sure, salt is most notorious as the dietary enemy that makes our blood boil in large quantities, and when lacking, kill us (a.k.a. death by hyponatremia). Our love/hate relationship with sodium chloride is as natural as it is unnatural. After all, it’s the only member of the rock family we humans eat in some form or another every day of our lives. Ask Bill Creighton why we sprinkle our New Hampshire highways with salt imported from deserts more than 4,000 miles away, and he will tell you it was simply a stroke of economic genius by one David Mahoney, who preceded him as president of Granite State Minerals in Newington.

DINE-IN OR TAKE-OUT 356-5001 ......................

“Fifty years ago, Mr. Mahoney was one of the fi rst entrepreneurs to look into taking salt from different parts of the world to compete with domestic mines in the United States,” said Creighton. “He understood the economics of shipping versus rail transportation. In terms of energy per volume, shipping the salt from Chile is far more effi cient than bringing it here by rail.” While some western regions of the state still rely on salt brought in by railroad from Midwestern mines, much of New Hampshire owes its drivable highways and byways to Chilean mine operations. And to take the international intrigue of road salt just a little bit further, the salt mined in Chile is part of a worldwide salt empire run by K+S Group, which is headquartered in Germany. Not only do they also provide road salt for most of Europe, they have also recently purchased the Morton Salt Company, expanding their salty holdings beyond roads, sidewalks and water softeners, to the condiments in your cupboard. Salt shakers aside, if you know your salt history, you know 2011 marks the 70th anniversary of America’s love affair with road salt. In fact, New Hampshire was the fi rst state to use salt to treat roads, according to the National Research Council in Washington, D.C. The science of road salt has come a long way since then, said Mary Kay Warner, spokesman for K+S Group’s Pennsylvania offices. “Making sure that salt works effectively as a road agent requires a complete understanding of how it’s applied, in terms of anti-icing versus de-icing,” said Warner. “I’m right now looking at a 100-page report that details the technology behind all of this. That’s how technical it’s become.”

Response to ‘just do it’ — ‘just give it a rest’ To the editor: I just fi nished the piece by Tom McLaughlin about asking the current president to “just do it, Mr. President.” In the article, Mr. McLaughlin hints that President Obama has not or refuses to show the public his birth certificate. For someone as Internet savvy as Mr. McLaughlin, it is surprising that a simple web search for a copy of Mr. Obama’s was not done. Just Googling or visiting www.snopes.com and searching for Obama and birth certificate will bring up a scan of the Certifi cate of Live Birth as issued by the State of Hawaii, in Honolulu, Island of Oahu, for one Barack Hussein Obama II, born August 4, 1961. Multiple lawsuits asking about the validity of the certifi cate are getting turned down because, as the saying goes, “the proof is out there.” A person born in Hawaii is just as American as someone from Maine or New Hampshire or even Massachusetts. I realize that some people feel that Hawaii is not part of

the USA, and Jeff Foxworthy has joked about his family, when going to Hawaii, ask if they have to exchange their U.S. money for Hawaiian. I also realize that there are many people who did not want Mr. Obama to win the presidency, for whatever reason, and will try anything to get him removed. But, Mr. Obama is an American, he is our president, and instead of carping about his nationality, can we just all come together and try to get along, help each other, ﬁx things together, and make the United States of America truly united? I also wonder how many students in Mr. McLaughlin’s class actually did search for a copy of the certiﬁ cate and showed this to the class, but was not mentioned in the article. Kids these days are ever more computer knowledgeable, and I am sure a few laptops and iPads had this image almost immediately. So, my response to “just do it” is to “just give it a rest.” Walter Davis North Conway

Some people just know do their jobs right To the editor: While driving home the other night during that snowy, treacherous evening of this season’s second big snow, I realized how grateful I am for our smart-thinking road guys who seem to know

just when to plow, when to sand and salt, and when to leave a traction cushion of new snow to steady the drive. Some people just know how to do their jobs right. Judy Kennedy Bartlett

Why Education Matters In trying times, it is surprisingly easy to today it involves much more than the three find scapegoats for all that ails our world “Rs”, those timeless, if melancholy, words and increasingly, in certain sectors, our from the old barbershop quartet song.

Next hearing on Effingham zoning changes Jan. 31 To the editor: Last week the Effi ngham Planning Board held a public hearing on proposed new regulations to the zoning ordinance. The public gave its input and expressed their various concerns and complaints with the process. One of the issues was that the board did not expect people to show up so they did not have enough copies for people to look at. Having the chairman sit and read the entire document to you is like those power point presentations that people show and read as if you can’t do it yourself. For those of us with copies, not the best use of the public’s time. In the end we shared what copies were available and things got discussed, but some people had to leave before everything had been gone over since the meeting ran until 11:30 p.m. Because the board waited so long to present these ordinances, they had to hold a work session the next night to fix people’s concerns so they could get the notice in the paper on the following day to hold its second hearing in the required time frame. No one knew about the work session, so no one showed up except Henry and myself and one other person. In the work session most everything was addressed that people had concerns about but some things stayed the same. The chairman

would not let the public speak in this session so we sat and listened, but in the end there were three things that we felt were too important to stay silent about and through other members of the board the concerns were heard and fixed. I picked up a copy of the revised ordinances and the only things printed were the wetland and ground water amendments. They did not print amendments 3 through 8, so you will not have the complete list. It will be very important for people to show up and voice your concerns, but understand the 100 available copies are incomplete. One has to wonder why. The minutes should be at the town office for the people who missed the first hearing, and there are copies of the revised ordinances there as well as at the library. We have to live with these ordinances so pick up a copy and stay informed. They made 100 (incomplete) copies this time so lets “pack the house” again to show that you care about the restrictions being placed on property owners. The next hearing is on Jan. 31 at 7 p.m. in the Effi ngham Municipal Office. It is very important people come and see what has changed and what hasn’t. You will be voting on this in March. Maureen S. Spencer Effingham

Bachmann’s historical Photoshopping on display To the editor: Readers today are all too familiar with the computer trick – Photoshop – where a less-than-optimal image is digitally altered to eliminate blemishes, slim down a corpulent physique or otherwise improve on reality. History can also be Photoshopped. (See, for example, Winston Smith, George Orwell’s protagonist in "1984," whose job at the Ministry of Truth was to edit out or Photoshop objectionable facts from his country’s past). Historical Photoshopping was recently brought to the national stage by Michele Bachmann (R-MN6), in her ﬁ ctive re-interpretation of the Founding Fathers. In a speech given on Jan. 21 to Iowans for Tax Relief, Counselor Bachmann (JD, Oral Roberts University) commented on immigrants, stating: "It didn't matter the color of their skin, it didn't matter their language, it didn't matter their economic status. Once you got here, we were all the same." She continued: "We also know that the very Founders that wrote those documents worked tirelessly until slavery was no more in the United States." Perhaps Ms. Bachmann is unaware that many immigrants to America faced prejudice and discrimination with seemingly insurmountable barriers to obtaining a job, freely practicing their faith, ﬁ nding a decent place to live, dining in public restaurants and attending college. To state otherwise is to grossly misunder-

stand or deliberately distort history. This is commonly known as disinformation.’ Ms. Bachmann’s historical Photoshopping was most prominently on display during her discussion of slavery in the United States. Many of the Founders owned slaves (Thomas Jefferson, for example, fathered a generation of mixed-race children with his slave, Sally Hemings). The Constitution itself provides that slaves were to be counted as only 3/5th of a person when assessing property values of white men (Article I, Section 2, Paragraph 3). Women, tellingly, were not counted at all. And it was not until the Civil War, in the mid-19th century, that the question was settled — at a cost of some half a million American lives. Thanks to our Founders, Ms. Bachmann has every right to speak as she pleases — her free speech is protected by the First Amendment to the Constitution (part of the Bill of Rights). Historians and members of the reality-based community, however, have every right (one might say, obligation) not to believe her buncombe. "The farther back you can look the farther forward you are likely to see." (Winston Churchill, 18741965) "War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength." (George Orwell, "1984")(1949) (With apologies to Maggie Knowles) Diane H. Gurien Kearsarge

Banner to be unveiled on Tuesday for Kennett’s 1,000-point scorers BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — Kennett High basketball elite will be recognized on Tuesday night when the school raises a banner to honor the 10 athletes who scored over 1,000 points during their playing careers as Eagles. The ceremony, which will take place prior to the girls’ varsity basketball game against arch-rival Kingswood, is set for 6:30 p.m. in the gymnasium. Kennett High’s 1,000-point scorers are former players Ali MacDonald, Trevor MacDonald, Erin Russell, Deb Russell, Abe Wrobleski, Kristen Umlah, Jeff Perry, Larry Day and Roger Blanchard along with current Eagle Allie Wagner. Blanchard and Day both netted their 1,000 points

DRIVER’S ED from page one

At the moment, the Conway School District has a one-year contract with the Ingersoll Driving School, based out of Berlin. The contract is scheduled to expire at the end of this school year in June. The Conway School Board has long talked about returning to previous days at Kennett where a faculty member taught the program and it came under the school’s program of studies. “When I was in high school I did it that way,” Moylan said. “It was taught by an industrial arts teacher. I would be supportive if the school board wanted to go that direction.” The Joint Boards is made up of members of all the area’s school boards, which meet twice a year. On hand for Tuesday’s meeting were board chairman Vicki Harlow and Nancy Kelemen, both of Bartlett; Jane Gray, Pat Philbrick and Judie Goss, all of Eaton; Dick Klement, Randy Davison and Syndi White, all of Conway; Joe Kopitsky and Genn Anzaldi, both of Jackson; Colleen Cormack, of Albany; and David Farley, of Tamworth. Representatives from Freedom and Madison did not attend the meeting due to prior school commitments that evening. Under the arrangement with Ingersoll Driving School, which was seeking a two- or three-year contract last summer but the Conway School Board balked, the front ofﬁce at Kennett High has a business card for the driving school. Parents contact the driving school to sign their children up for the program, paying in the neighborhood of $500 for the ﬁve-week course. The driving school books classroom time with the Conway School District.

prior to the arrival of the three-point line in high school basketball. The majority of the 1,000-point-club members plan to be on hand for the ceremony while others will have family members on hand in their absence. “It should be a great night to get those people back,” Peter Ames, who coached Day, Perry, Wrobleski, Umlah and now Wagner to the 1,000-point mark, said. “It’s a night where we play Kingswood, and I’m sure some of their fans will recognize a lot of (the 1,000-point scorers).” “It’s been something we’ve been planning for awhile,” Kerry Brady, school athlete director, said. “It will be a nice ceremony, not very long, but hopefully we have a good crowd come out to celebrate these Eagles’ accomplishments.”

“If you’re 16 and want to get your license, you know what you have to do,” Moylan said, explaining the process. “You’re well aware of who you need to see and where to see them.” Ingersoll currently serves between 125 to 150 students annually at Kennett High. It was the lone company to bid on last year’s contract. Klement raised the question during Tuesday’s meeting. “I was asked to bring it up: Can we make it a credited course,” he asked. Davison also agreed and said he’s researched what other school districts around the Granite State are doing and found several that offer credit for driver’s ed. “I’m hopeful we can go forward and offer this,” he said. “The way the program is offered now,” Moylan said, “There’s no way I could support (offering credit) for it. I’m unhappy with how driver’s ed. is being offered now. It’s fi lled with some really not all that positive characteristics and I’ll leave it at that.” Last summer, the Conway board agreed to have Jill Hill, director of administrative service for SAU 9, explore the fi nancial impact if the school district were to run its own driver’s education program. He is working on a cost analysis for the board. The biggest fi nancial hurdles would be hiring a person, therefore creating a salary and possible benefits package along with the cost of a vehicle for the program. Davison believes the fee students currently pay for the program could come close if not surpass the funding needed for a staff member. He also wants to explore local sponsorship through car dealers for a vehicle for the program. “I’d be willing to let them advertise all over the vehicle as a trade-off,” he said, smiling.

Journal from Iraq: Rain and other surprises BY ERIK EISELE THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

There are surprises all over Iraq. After eight years of war and war coverage there, you would think Americans would know it pretty well, but all that has done is paint a crude picture of the country. One soldier, for example, told me he wasn’t expecting the sunrises. They are stunning, among the most beautiful I’ve ever seen. Another told me it was the cold. 50 degrees, he said, and he’s bundled up like it’s December in New Hampshire. For me, it’s those things and more. Outside an American-led training for border patrol agents other officers were learning how to break down and clean AK-47s. Their solvent? Gasoline. On the border of Iran there are bunkers everywhere, leftover from the Iraq/Iran war, and the oil companies are still trying to get all the mines cleared so they can drill. U.S. soldiers keep to the roads there, because everywhere hasn’t been cleared. But the biggest surprise so far was the rain. The clouds began gathering in the morning. It was overcast all day. I caught a ride on a convoy from Combat Outpost Shocker to Forward Operating Base Delta, and about halfway through it started. Not hard, just some sprinkles, but it was the most moisture I’ve seen since I arrived. The camels on the side of the road just plodded on. But then the next morning, at Delta, the rain hit for real. I jolted out of bed at 4:45 a.m. when the first roll of thunder shook my trailer. Was that artillery? I listened for the siren. Another flash of light in the distance — it was hard to tell. But then the lightning began in earnest, and the first drops

of rain fell. Every roll shook the entire base. The downpour followed. It was a wall of white noise, rain pounding on the metal roof, punctuated by rolls of thunder. I opened the shade and watched as the storm ebbed and returned, moved on then redoubled it’s attack. Lightning struck the base time and again, each time shaking concrete T-walls and Containerized Housing Units. That’s the way the weather is here, I guess. A rainstorm near the border flooded the entire plain just below the point of entry, one officer told me. “It’s like New Hampshire,” a specialist from Hillsboro told me, “hot one day, then freezing the next.” The storm lasted for the entire morning. During a lull I thought about going out to find breakfast, but the rain returned full strength. The wind kicked up, and I could feel my trailer swaying. It was like a storm back home, the winds and all. I looked around my rickety trailer — it wasn’t built to handle much more. But still the wind grew. So did the rain. The walking paths flooded. The storm grounded helicopters. I sat in the trailer, peeking out the window, watching as it blew. Eventually the thunder rolled past. The mud puddles snaked around the entire base. “As if it weren’t bad enough here already,” someone said. I pulled my coat up around my cheeks, dressed like it was November back home. Some things you just never expect. Especially in Iraq. Erik Eisele is a reporter for The Conway Daily Sun and is on two-week assignment in Iraq for New Hampshire Public Radio.

“I want to run because I think I can make a difference,” Funicella said by phone Thursday. Allen wanted to seek the post fi ve years ago but had to withdraw from the race after being named the math department head at Kennett High School. Still at Kennett, he no longer has that added department responsibility and wants to give back to his community. “A bunch of people asked me if I would run,” Allen said by phone Thursday. “I’d like to help the town any way I can.” Also on the town ballot, incumbent Bill Botsford is being challenged for his town clerk’s post by his deputy Janette Heidmann, who is seeking the three-year term. Incumbents have dominated the other sign-ups for town and school offi ces. Incumbent Warren Shoemaker is seeking a threeyear term as town treasurer; incumbent Margaret “Joan” Davies is running for another three-year term as trustee of trust funds; and fellow incumbent Barbara Theriault has fi led for a three-year seat as a cemetery trustee. On the school ballot, incumbent Joe Kopitsky has fi led for a second three-year term on the school board. No one has signed up yet for one-year terms as school clerk, treasurer or moderator.

Student speaks out for Patch ﬁles for another term the planning board; no educational excellence on contested races in Bartlett BY LLOYD JONES

“There needs to be something for us who really love learning and want to get ahead. That will help us get into more competitive colleges. There are some great programs at Kennett, but overall there’s not that extra bit for those of us who who would want to do a little bit more.”

THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — Peter Haine, a junior at Kennett High, was the lone student to attend a recent meeting of the MWV Coalition of Educational Excellence. Haine spoke about his desire for a quality education for not only himself but future Kennett Eagles. “I came here today because I personally feel very strongly about my education and the where it will be for the kids 10-15 years younger than me or not even born yet,” Haine said. “I want to know how education will affect this community. “We have a ton of amazing teachers at Kennett and some who are mediocre,” he continued. “I think the salary thing has to have a big effect (on attracting and keeping teachers). Who wants to teach here when you can get more money elsewhere?” Haine wishes more was being done for the top-level students in high school. “I haven’t felt the education has been up to snuf f,” he said. “We really have great courses for the mid level and lower level (students). There are not as many programs for the student who has that drive. I will be done with all the math courses Kennett offers this year.” Haine will continue to advance his math learning by taking an indepen-

BARTLETT — Friday is the final day for candidates to throw their hats in the ring for town and school offices. The 10-day fi ling operand closes at 5 p.m. in the town clerk’s office at the Bartlett Town Hall. As of Thursday there wasn’t a single contested race and only one non-incumbent had signed up for anything. Wednesday saw incumbent David Patch fi le for another three-year seat on the planning board. He and fellow incumbent Lydia Lansing have both signed up. The town clerk’s offi ce was closed Thursday, leading the way for a possible hub of activity on the last day. The lone political newcomer is Erik Corbett, owner of Good Tail Lobster Pound, who signed up for a three-year term as town selectman last week. Incumbent Jon Tanguay has not decided if he will seek a third term or not at this time. There is a Bartlett

dent study with Dr. Jack Loynd, the former principal at Kennett High. “There needs to be something for us who really love learning and want to get ahead,” he added. “That will help us get into more competitive colleges. There are some great programs at Kennett, but overall there’s not that extra bit for those of us who who would want to do a little bit more.” Haine realizes the importance of a quality education and he’s even sharing his talents. Fluent in Spanish, he volunteer teaches at Pine Tee School during his free period at Kennett. Moylan, who was scheduled to unveil the program of studies for the 201112 school year before the Joint Board Tuesday night, said the education bar is being raised at Kennett, and he plans to offer even more advanced placement courses next year.

selectmen’s meeting Friday morning. Town clerk Leslie Mallett has fi led for another term as town clerk; it will be her sixth term if successful in the March election. Also on the town ballot, incumbent Jean Mallett is seeking another term as treasurer. Other town vacancies include: trustee of trust funds (Frank Seik is the incumbent); and two library trustee seats (Julia King and Leo Sullivan are incumbents). On the school ballot, incumbent Nancy Kelemen is running for a second three-year term on the school board while fellow incumbent Sheila Glines has fi led for a one-year term as treasurer. Other school openings include a oneyear terms as clerk and moderator. Voting for offi cers will take place on Tuesday, March 8, from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Bartlett Town Hall.

Movie Review: ‘No Strings Attached’ Natalie Portman was just nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress for her completely exposed and raw performance in the intense psychological thriller "The Black Swan." She's the odds-on favorite to win and is absolutely deserving of the accolade. It is a movie worth seeing, but it is deeply disturbing. I recommend pairing it with something light, fl uffy and fun as a palate cleanser. Conveniently enough, Portman is also presently starring in the romantic comedy "No Strings Attached," a fi lm that is the perfect after-dinner mint to the heavy meal that is "The Black Swan." The romantic comedy is in a pretty dire state. Recent entries into the genre have been ranging from bland to noxious. "No Strings Attached" proves to be ahead of the current curve. It is a film that works thanks to a funny script by Elizabeth Meriwether and a strong cast. Portman stars as Emma, a commitment-phobe who avoids emotional attachments, who agrees to enter into sex-only relationship with Adam (Ashton Kutcher). Soon Adam wants more and so does Emma, but she refuses it to allow that to develop. The plot of the fi lm is nothing remarkable and, as is the nature of a romantic comedy, is entirely predictable. As an audience, we know that Emma and Adam will wind up together. What distinguishes a romantic comedy is whether it can make us care

Reel Reviews ––––– Alec Kerr

enough to go through all the plot contrivances that keep the two leads apart for 90 minutes. Kutcher is one of the more critically maligned actors working today. His mere presence in a while usually will get the fi lm dismissed outright. Kutcher is not a great actor and has been in his fair share of thoroughly mediocre films. I am always one to give credit when it is due and here he is likable and charismatic. Portman, who has shown she can do bubbly and cute in fi lms like "Garden State," gets to show that she do comedy with a rougher edge. She has some raunchy dialogue that she delivers effectively. She is sexy and funny in a way we haven't quite seen from her. The fi lm's use of vulgarities or crude humor never goes to the level of a film like "There's Something About Mary" but it earns its R rating. Thankfully, though, the film isn't crass to simply be crass. The humor is character-based, and, while characters are often sketched broadly, Meriwether's script does keep things on a plain of reality. Even if the dialogue is heavy on quips, her characters speak like human beings rather than characters in a movie. It is often the case in these sorts of fi lms that the two leads have a circle of wisecracking friends and confi dants, and that

is the case here. These supporting characters, though, are very well cast and also truly funny. On Kutcher's side there is Jake Johnson and rapper Chris "Ludacris" Bridges. Bridges, who showed he was a good actor in "Crash," has a nice deadpan delivery. On Portman's side there is Greta Gerwig ("Greenberg"), Mindy Kaling ("The Offi ce") and Olivia Thirlby ("Juno"). Gerwig is a particularly bright spot in the cast, and there is a charming subplot in which she starts dating Johnson. The film's ace in the hole is Kevin Kline as Kutcher's father, a former sitcom star who is perpetually on drugs. Kline is such a brilliant comic actor that he even shines in what easily could be a throwaway stock role. When he starts dating Kutcher's dimwitted ex-girlfriend (Ophelia Lovibond) the result are quite hilarious. In the fi nal third of the fi lm, Emma's fears of getting too close drive the two apart, but just as the film is beginning to stretch credibility and our patience, the script delivers big laughs from unexpected places. Even Lake Bell, as the awkward colleague that briefly, and inevitably, becomes a potential love interest for Kutcher, gets some real laughs. This is not a great fi lm, but it is lightweight, low-key entertainment that delivers on that level and that's not something to be dismissed. Good light entertainment is hard to come by these days. “No Strings Attached” is playing at the Mall Cinema 7.

Tin Mountain celebrates 50th anniversary of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge Feb. 3 ALBANY — Join naturalist David Govatski in the Tin Mountain Conservation Center Nature Program on Thursday, Feb. 3 at 7 p.m. at the Nature Learning Center, 1245 Bald Hill Road in Albany for a celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Govatski, the President of the Friends of Pondicherry, will show a high defi nition movie of the refuge featuring its wildlife, vegetation and sweeping panoramas. David will also show slides of his 2010 rafting expedition on the Canning River to experience the wilderness north of the Brooks Range where wolves, caribou, muskoxen roam. Free refuge brochures and posters will be available after the program. Renowned for its wildlife, the 19 million acre Arctic Refuge is inhabited by 45 species of land and marine mammals, ranging from the pygmy shrew to the bowhead whale. Best known are the polar, grizzly, and black bear; wolf, wolverine, Dall sheep, moose, musk ox, and the animal that has come to symbolize the area's wildness, the free-roaming caribou. Thirty-six species of fish occur in Arctic Refuge waters, and 180 species of birds have been observed on the refuge. Eight million acres of the Arctic Refuge are designated Wilderness, and three rivers (Sheenjek, Wind, and Ivishak) are designated Wild Rivers. Two areas of the refuge are designated Research Natural Areas. Because of distinctive scenic and scientific features, several rivers, valleys, canyons, lakes, and a rock mesa have been recommended as National Natural Landmarks. see REFUGE page 19

very nature of human existence: love and duty, power and loss, good and evil. Derek Jacobi and Michael Grandage renew their collaboration, having previously worked together on “The Tempest,” “Don Carlos” and “Twelfth Night.” Grandage’s creative team, Christopher Oram, Neil Austin and Adam

Cork, are the Tony Awardwinning team behind the company’s recent Broadway smash hit “Red.” Tickets are $22 for adults, $18 for seniors and $15 students and may be ordered through the box office by calling: (207) 935-9232 or online at www.fryeburgacademy.org.

REFUGE from page 17

Perhaps the most unique feature of the refuge is that large-scale ecological and evolutionary processes continue here, free of human control or manipulation. A prominent reason for establishment of the Arctic Refuge was the fact that this single protected area encompasses an unbroken continuum of arctic and subarctic ecosystems. Here, one can traverse the boreal forest of the Porcupine River plateau, wander north up the rolling

taiga uplands, cross the rugged, glacier-capped Brooks Range, and follow any number of rivers across the tundra coastal plain to the lagoons, estuaries, and barrier islands of the Beaufort Seas coast, all without encountering any artifact of civilization. Donations of $5 per family and $3 per person are appreciated, members are free. To learn more about Tin Mountain call 447-6991, email info@ tinmountain.org, log onto www. tinmountain.org or click on the Tin Mountain facebook page.

"We've seen participation in the Granite State Snowshoe Series just explode," he said. "The sport has a welcoming relaxed vibe and it's such a great workout that all it usually takes is one race and people are hooked." The valley's touring centers are key to holding snowshoe races here, according to North Conway's Tilton, the trail runner with a number of top 10 Mount Washington Hillclimb ﬁnishes. In winter, Tilton's a snowshoe racer. A frequent podium ﬁnisher in the Granite State Snowshoe Series, he placed seventh at the 2010 nationals. "I think that probably with the amount of touring centers having a race here at Whitaker Woods and up at Great Glen with all the grooming lends itself to having a good mix of really fast running with a little bit of tight singletrack, " said Tilton. "Then the race down at Sidehiller is kind of a combination of snowmobile trails which are pretty much groomed and the mix of singletrack. That's what everybody does up you. You either ski, snowmobile or snowshoe so they all kind of mesh together well." An extension of trail running, serious snowshoe racers compete on compact, light snowshoes frequently

wearing their trail running shoes. They dress lightly. "The sport is defi nitely growing," said Tilton. "I think case in point is the Sidehiller. Last year I think they had over 70 fi nishers and maybe three years ago that had maybe 17." Tilton won last year's Sidehiller with a field of 91. The Whitaker race attracted people from southern New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and locals, many in their fl edgling outing. Bartlett's Marcoux, a White Mountain Milers member and avid trail runner, was trying snowshoe racing for the fi rst time. It wasn't his fi rst time on them though. A couple of weeks ago he ran a few miles with Tilton and the two were on snowshoes, albeit walking, while laying out the rolling course with a few snowy logs in the singletrack section the night before the race. "It is really getting to be an up and coming thing. There are a lot of snowshoe races around. There defi nitely more hardcore people doing this than they are doing trail running but that will change. I'm here. So it's getting down to people who aren't so hardcore." Helpful web sites includes www. acidoticRACING.com, granitestatesnowshoeseries.org and www.nesnowshoefederation.org.

Getting and Staying Fit the Fun Way It’s New Year’s resolution time again, and no doubt millions have made the pledge to get fi t. Some may join a gym or club, only to find they’re bored after a while with the monotony of the equipment and routines. But exercise can be fun and pleasurable, while delivering a legitimate workout. You can avoid the fi tness rut by finding activities that you really enjoy, and you can vary the routine to keep you on your toes. You can also use them to supplement your regular gym workouts. If you’re not sure where to start, try a variety of activities to see what’s enjoyable. Make physical activity an adventure by trying something new. Don’t think you’ve outgrown something; you might want to revisit fun childhood pursuits, like ice skating. And remember that you’re more likely to stick with a fi tness program if you’re having fun!

The following are some tips for staying motivated and on track, once you have your activities of choice: Increase your enthusiasm for physical activity by changing how you think about it. Think of it as indulging your body in an opportunity to try a new and exciting activity. Set goals that are simple and then progress to longer range goals. Remember to make your goals realistic and achievable. For example, if you haven’t exercised in a while, a short-term goal might be to walk ﬁ ve minutes once or twice a day, then to gradually work up to walking 20 minutes three or four times a week. It is all too easy to get frustrated and give up if your goals are too ambitious. Schedule workouts as you would any other important activity, and don’t fall back on excuses. The best

time to exercise is whenever it works best for you. It may be ﬁ rst thing in the morning before the demands of the day sidetrack you, or it might be in the evening when you can use your workout to wind down and relax. You may have an opportunity on your lunch hour to take a walk or do a few stretches. Look for ways to be creative and slip physical activity in throughout the day. Be ﬂexible. If you are too busy to work out or simply don’t feel up to it, take a day or two off. Be gentle with yourself if you need a break. The important thing is to get back on track as soon as you can. Recording what you did during each exercise session, how long you exercised, and how you felt afterwards may help you stay motivated and will remind you that you’re making progress. see NUTRITION page 30

The planning board will review proposed zoning amendments on Jan. 31 Kudos to Mark, Eric and Roger, the marvelous staff at our transfer station for service given to residents during the severe cold weather. Our transfer station staff has constantly been both helpful and courteous over the years in assisting all comers to empty trash from their vehicles, lifting heavy stuff for folks, and just generally being in a good mood. Seldom has your reporter come home from the dump without a remembered smile. The Kudos are offered because even at 17 to 23 below zero the trusty three maintained their standard high level of service. Thanks guys. One more reminder: the planning board will be reviewing proposed amendments to our zoning regulations on Jan. 31 at 7 p.m. at the municipal ofﬁces on School Street. This will be

a public hearing during which those with something to say can say there something. For those who missed the last article: there have been extensive changes made to the proposed wetland policies and copies of the "new" proposals can be picked up at the municipal offi ces and the library. If you attended the fi rst public hearing and formed an opinion of the wet land proposal it will be worth your while to get a copy of the "new" one. Another issue that has been causing consternation, conversation and complaint in Effingham is the unpleasant fact that Effi ngham’s selectmen have been informed that the school portion of our property tax bill may be going up around three dollars per thousand. see TAMWORTH page 30

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Lynn Johnston by Scott Adams

DILBERT

by Darby Conley

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Make sure everyone understands what you need in terms that are certain and clear. Friends who are just there to help you could have the opposite effect if improperly managed. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll be grateful for a certain lessthan-perfect aspect of your past. If it never happened, you would not have developed your best traits or the strongest aspects of your character. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19 ). You’ll be aware of the infl uences and beliefs that people subscribe to, and this will affect your own choices. Warning: One who comes off as original might simply be copying a different crowd. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). There is someone who is highly infl uential in your life right now, and you tend to schedule yourself around this person’s needs. It is good for both of you as long as you are mindful of your sacrifice. PISCES (Feb. 19 -March 20). There’s a precious reward hanging in the balance. The problem is, there is also a diffi cult maze you must maneuver in order to reach the goal. You will be feeling agile and gutsy enough to pull this off. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 28). You don’t have to decide between two exciting options -- you can have them both. There’s a shift in your professional direction, and by the end of February, you’ll feel you’re doing what you were born to do. You’ll be an ambassador and bring about positive change in March. May brings style upgrades. Leo and Scorpio people shower you with blessings. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 25, 39, 16 and 52.

Get Fuzzy

HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19 ). You want what is reasonable for you to achieve. It is precisely because your expectations are so well grounded in reality that you are likely to see them met today. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You apply your skill and dedication to a job. If you want credit for this, you’ll also need to publicize it. Think carefully about the best way to do this. And choose just the right words to frame your achievements. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Avoid anyone who seems indecisive or out of control. It’s not your day to save the world or change another person’s destiny, but you just might accomplish this accidentally if you stay focused on your own mission. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’re in just the mood to take a risk. You’ll likely trade a degree of stability for the chance to win at a highly competitive level. Libra and Aquarius people are worthy contenders for your team. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You want people to notice you for your work, not for how you look, the way you dress or the car you drive. Still, these style choices contribute to an overall impression of you, and that affects how your work is received. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ve been working toward a particular outcome in your personal life, though you may have been doing so subconsciously. If that is the case, you will now be consciously aware of your agenda. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It’s not pessimistic to be pragmatic. You’ll feel more positive about your arrangements if -- before you sign on the bottom line -- you’re sure about the ins and outs of what you’re signing, especially the outs.

Help Wanted by Abigail Van Buren

END OF LONGTIME FRIENDSHIP CAUSES OVERWHELMING PAIN

DEAR ABBY: How do I cope with the ending of a very long friendship? I saw warning signs for a couple of years, and tried many times to talk to my best friend about what seemed to be happening. Her values and priorities are moving in other directions now. I no longer feel appreciated as her friend. My heart is breaking. We have been friends for half our lives. This is more devastating than any divorce, death or hurricane I have ever experienced. She is how I have gotten through my life this far. There are support groups out there for everything under the sun, except for losing a best friend due to indifference and lack of caring. Please advise me. -- THROWN AWAY IN PASADENA, TEXAS DEAR THROWN AWAY: I know you are hurting, and I am sorry. But friendships are not just made up of helping each other through the hard times; there is also a component of celebrating the good ones. While she may have been your leaning post, you need to examine what you were to her. If the load became too much to carry, it’s understandable that she would need to back off. While there are no support groups for people in your situation, there are counselors who can help you sort through your feelings -- and because this experience has been devastating, you should talk with one. DEAR ABBY: I’m a 16-year-old girl from a religious home. When I was 7, my father got very drunk and molested me. It had a terrible impact on me. He has apologized for what happened and knows I hate him for it and can’t forgive him. It hasn’t happened since, and I know he’s telling the truth. I feel the next step in my healing

Help Wanted Licensed Nurse

is to conﬁde in my friends and ask them to pray for me. But if I do, I know they won’t look at me the same. I’m afraid they’ll get their parents to intervene and something will happen to Dad. That’s the last thing I want. Should I tell? -- NEEDS SUPPORT IN PHILLY DEAR NEEDS SUPPORT: You appear to be an idealistic, intelligent young woman. But it’s important you understand that apologizing for committing a crime against someone is not enough. The person must also be willing to accept the consequences of his actions. Drop by an elementary school and look at the 7-year-olds on the playground. That’s how small and vulnerable you were when your father molested you. Ask yourself: Did he quit drinking and get help for his alcohol problem? Did he talk to his minister and confess what he did? Did he seek professional help of any kind? Are there little girls in your extended family? You are exhibiting two classic signs of an abuse victim. One is thinking that people will regard you differently if you disclose that you were victimized. Another is the impulse to “protect” your abuser. I’m all for the power of prayer, but rather than tell your girlfriends, is your mother aware of what happened? If she is unavailable to you, then you should talk to your minister or a trusted counselor at school. If you’re afraid this will “betray” your father, call the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network (RAINN) toll-free at (800) 656-4673. You can speak to one of the counselors there in complete conﬁ dence. They are experienced and can guide you about what -- or what not -- to do next.

Needed for 3 - 11 Shift. If interested please call Martha at 207-935-3351

Your reporter spoke with Mr. John Widmer, chairman of the school board, on the phone to see if this three dollar increase was rumor or fact. Sad to say it is awfully darn close to the facts. An extensive discussion with Mr. W. proved one thing: a phone call, even a long one, is not suffi cient for your reporter to understand all the reasons for so sharp an increase and further that the school Board’s reasoning based itself not on justification of its proposed funding requirements but upon pragmatic fi scal reality. One fact discovered during the conversation was the school board has held required public meetings during which early warnings of the now sudden revelation of a three dollar increase could have been made known to selectmen from all of our SAU’s towns. It was revealed that only about 15 percent of the SAU’s budget is discretionary with much of the budget tied up with bond payments, long

Mr. W. said around $78,000 was cut out of this discretionary 15 percent. And further or deeper cuts will have to be found in staff layoffs. It can further be stated that Mr. W. is absolutely willing to speak about this issue provided the listener is interested in understanding the process and results and not simply wanting to rant and rave to no purpose other than venting. It has often been put forward in this article that the most significant aspect of your tax bill is the school’s portion and if folks want to try and slow increases or diminish the bill people need get involved in the SAU’s budgetary process. Your reporter is as guilty as anyone when it comes to not following good advice even when it is buried in his own column.

Eagles thrash Bishop Brady, 76-24 BY LLOYD JONES

FLATBREAD FUNDRAISER

CONWAY — The Kennett High ski jumpers, who were scheduled to host their lone home meet of the season tonight, will wait another week to take flight at home. They want to have as many teams as possible come to town to compete. The meet will now be on Friday, Feb. 4 on the Kanc. at 6 p.m. “We defi nitely didn’t want to totally cancel it,” Laurel Zengilowski, head ski coach at Kennett High, said. “Hopefully, now we will have every school there without any schedule conflicts.” The Eagles, who are the current two-time state champs in the sport, have been fl ying well of late.

Loon hosted another Macomber Cup GS Jan.22. The highlights for the day were Van Deursen in fourth and Gregory in ninth. Proctor hosted a Tecnica Cup GS the following day which saw Liz Welch taking the top spot for the MWVST ladies. On the guys side Alex Camerino was 10th and Ryan Carlucci, 13th. Jake Van Deursen had a solid eighth place result in a Men’s Development FIS SL at Waterville Valley, Jan.25. That’s the wrap for now. Thank you all for the generous support of the MWVST. Dave Gregory is the program director/head coach of the MWVST.

Frase steal and driving layup; and a Casey Blakely rebound and jump shot) and the game was quickly a one-sided contest. The game marked the fi rst home contest of the season for Frase, an All State guard , who returned to the hardwood earlier in the week at Berlin after being sidelined for seven months with a torn ACL. “Melissa Frase for three,” Jon Judge, the voice of KHS basketball, announced and immediately followed with, “She’s back.” Frase and her teammates didn’t miss a beat. After the opening eight minutes, Kennett led 21-4. The lead continued to balloon in the second period courtesy of fellow All State guard Allie Wagner. Wagner scored 14 of her game-high 28 points in the second quarter. At one pointed the talented senior tickled the twine for three consecutive three-pointers that stretched the lead from 20 points to 37-8. Kennett carried a 43-10 advantage into the locker room at the half and the Eagles didn’t spend the entire intermission behind closed doors, returning to the court after only a brief absence. The Eagles netted the fi rst 11 points of the third quarter to go on top 54-10 on their way to outscoring the girls from Concord 23-4 in the frame. The quarter ended on a tremendous buzzer-beater by sophomore guard Jordan Murphy. She caught an in-bounds pass near the Kennett bench with 1.4 seconds left and launched a high-arching shot that drew nothing but nylon as it sailed through at the buzzer. Ahead 66-14 after three quarters, the Eagles cruised through the fourth quarter, which became the Kaitlin “Shaq” Taylor Show. The junior pulled down fi ve rebounds, blocked three shots and scored eight points in the quarter, including a trick shot that could easily have been the Play of the Day! With 1:09 remaining, she got the ball in the lane, with her back to the basket, and threw up an off-balanced no-look shot that sailed through the basket much to the delight of Taylor’s teammates and the home crowd. Allie Wagner fi nished with 28 points in limited play while Frase added 10; Taylor, eight; White; six; Jesse Wagner, six; Blakely, six; Sam Meader, six; Lauren Kidder, three; and Murphy, three. The Eagles will close out the week today with a trip to Dover to play St. Thomas for the second time this winter. KHS rolled past the Saints (4-6), 44-27 on Dec. 17. St. Thomas has won three of its last four contests, topping Portsmouth (6-3) 61-50 Melissa Frase has her home-opener Wednesday night versus Brady. (JAMIE GEMMITI PHOTO) on the road Monday night.

CONWAY — It was difficult for head coach Peter Ames to fi nd much to criticize after the Kennett High girls basketball team put together one of its most complete performances of the season Tuesday night. It came at Bishop Brady’s expense. The Eagles thrashed the Green Giants 76-24 and it could have been much worse at The Nest for the visitors. Ames went to his bench early and often with his starters logging less than two quarters of court time. The victory, the 34th in the last 35 games for Kennett, lifted the team to 10-0 in Division II play and 13-0 on the winter. KHS is just one of three undefeated teams left in Division II. The defending state champs are joined by Souhegan, 8-0; and Lebanon, who the Eagles beat in the title game last March, 9-0. The Green Giants, who fell to 2-9 with the loss, had no answers for the up-tempo Eagles. The visitors actually put the fi rst points on the scoreboard, getting out to a 2-0 lead at 6:40 of the opening period and then the roof caved in for them. Kennet burst out on an 18-0 run (a Sam Meader jumper; Lauren White layup and a foul; Allie Wagner steal and free throw; an Allie Wagner jumper; three-pointer by Melissa Frase; an Allie Wagner runner in the lane; a
