FRYEBURG — A special town meeting at the American Legion Tuesday at 6 p.m. will give voters a chance to make the Fryeburg eligible for a $150,000 federal grant for beautification, but there’s a hitch: To become eligible for the money, the town has to declare part of the downtown a slum. “It’s 12 properties,” selectman Thomas Klinepeter said. Those properties are from the historical society building on Main Street to the first building on
Rt. 16, N. Conway, NH

Search for aliens needs funding HAT CREEK, Calif. (N.Y. Times) — E.T. might be phoning, but do we care enough to take the call? Operating on money and equipment scrounged from the public and from Silicon Valley millionaires, and on the stubborn strength of their own dreams, a band of astronomers recently restarted one of the iconic quests of modern science, the search for extraterrestrial intelligence — SETI, for short — which had been interrupted last year by a lack of financing. Early in December, a brace of 42 radio telescopes, known as the Allen Telescope Array, nestled here in the shadow of Lassen Peak, came to life and resumed hopping from star to star in the constellation Cygnus, listening for radio broadcasts from alien civilizations. The lines are now open, but with lingering financial problems, how long they will remain that way is anybody’s guess. Astronomers now know that the galaxy is teeming with at least as many planets — the presumed sites of life — as stars. Advanced life and technology might be rare in the cosmos, said Geoffrey W. Marcy, the Watson and Marilyn Alberts in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence professor at the University of California, Berkeley, “but surely they are out there, because the number of Earthlike planets in the Milky Way galaxy is simply too great.”

U.S. Embassy in Cairo shields three Americans ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– WORLD/NATION–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
CAIRO (NY Times) — The United States Embassy in Cairo is giving shelter to three American citizens to protect them from potential arrest by the Egyptian authorities as part of a politically charged investigation into the activities of four American-backed nongovernmental organizations operating here, colleagues said on Monday. The decision to give the individuals shelter is a new low in the relations between Cairo and Washington, which recently
threatened to stop its $1.3 billion in annual aid to the Egyptian military if it fails to take steps toward a democratic opening, including respecting such nongovernmental groups. Word of the decision came as Egypt’s ruling military council began taking steps to address its fraying relations with Washington by sending a delegation of officers to the United States for meetings this week with their military counterparts, legisla-
tors and other officials. The delegation was in Tampa on Monday, visiting the Central Command headquarters. Officials at the American Embassy declined to comment on the decision to shelter the Americans, first reported Monday in The Washington Post. The reports followed the disclosure last week that the Egyptian government had barred at least a half dozen American employees of the groups from leaving the country.
Tensions on the rise, but no Fighting escalates in Syria evictions at Occupy D.C. WASHINGTON (NY Times) — Defiant Occupy protestors here pledged to maintain their vigil on Monday despite an order from the National Park Service that campers must remove their gear or depart from two federal parks. As the agency’s noon deadline neared, chanting protestors unfurled an enormous blue tarp emblazoned with “Tent of Dreams” over the center of McPherson Square, one of the two parks. The protestors then dragged the tarp over the statue of James B. McPherson, the Civil War
general for whom the park is named, and the statue’s head and shoulders poked through the top of the tarp. “What they’re doing with this enforcement is a joke,” said Christopher Seerden, 30, of Santa Cruz, Calif. “People need to have a place to stay.” Despite the deadline, there was no immediate effort by the police to clamp down on the campers, and only a few patrolmen watched from the outskirts of the park, where the enforcement deadline had been posted in recent days.
JUST IN!
BEIRUT, Lebanon (NY Times) — Syria rebel fighters continued clashing with government forces in neighborhoods on the doorstep of Damascus on Monday in an escalation of the spreading war there, while a new diplomatic effort by Russia to broker mediation talks between the antagonists appeared to go nowhere and pressure for Security Council action intensified. Despite deployments by Syrian forces into the eastern suburbs of Damascus on Sunday, where soldiers, tanks and armed vehicles were sent to crush pockets of armed rebellion, there was no clear sign that the heavily outgunned rebels had been vanquished. Amateur video posted on the Internet bolstered other credible reports of new fighting in Homs, the combustible central Syrian city that has been the venue of repeated battles between rebel fighters and forces loyal to President Bashar alAssad. Syria’s official news agency, SANA, said nothing about the Homs fighting but said a gas pipeline in the area was blown up by what it called an unidentified terrorist group. There were no reliable estimates of the number of people killed or wounded in the latest fighting.

Federal ban scares Strong interest for N.H. snake breeders private prison in N.H.
THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Tuesday, January 31, 2012— Page 3
PLAISTOW — Kevin McCurley, owner of New England Reptile Distributors, can’t understand how a problem in south Florida is impacting his business in New Hampshire. “People watch too many movies,” says McCurley. “Snakes make wonderful pets.” McCurley spent the last 19 years turning a hobby into one of the largest snake breeding operations in the country, but now he says a federal ban on crossing state lines with certain snakes is putting his Plaistow business in jeopardy. The ban stems from a problem in
south Florida where certain exotic snakes have become a serious environmental issue in the Everglades. The ban makes it illegal to import Burmese pythons, yellow anacondas and northern and southern African pythons, or to move them across state lines. “I have about 20 Burmese pythons and yellow anacondas that I can’t sell. It makes no sense,” he said. Officials said the snakes threaten the Everglades ecosystem, consuming native wildlife and competing with other species. —Courtesy of WMUR
Police would need warrant to access cellphones under bill CONCORD — New Hampshire police would need a warrant to extract information from cellphones and global positioning satellite devices under legislation intended to protect people’s privacy. The House Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee will hold a hearing Tuesday afternoon on state Rep. Neal Kurk’s bill that also applies to others who want to extract photos, phone contact lists and other information from the devices.
The Weare Republican said he has an expectation of privacy about information on his computer, and that should also apply to other electronic devices such as smartphones, GPS devices and tablet computers. Assistant Safety Commissioner Earl Sweeney said police usually get a warrant but currently can act without one in an emergency. He said he could support the bill if it allowed for emergency situations. —Courtesy of WMUR
Representatives from more than 20 national and international companies have converged on the Granite State to assess the state’s Request for Proposals for a private prison, even as local residents and some officials have voiced opposition to the idea. The strong response reflects the unusual opportunity presented by the RFP, which places no limits on the size and makes no specification about the location of a facility. The main requirement is that the facility be capable of accommodating, at minimum, the approximately 1,500 inmates at the state’s largest and oldest penitentiary, the State Prison for
Men in Concord. A parallel proposal calls for replacing the women’s prison in Goffstown. Under the proposals, bidders can propose to build the facilities or also take over their operation. “It’s probably one of the more unique and creative (RFPs) put out for some time,” said Eli Gage, the publisher of Correctional News, a national publication that covers trends in prison construction. “The state has given the ability to leave things (a bidder) is open to do or not do, depending on what they like. Even some in the industry say it’s the best RFP they’ve seen in a while.” —Courtesy of The Union Leader

EDITORIAL
Big price to pay Something just feels wrong about it. Fryeburg citizens will vote tonight whether to designate a portion of their downtown a slum area. In return, they would have a shot — not a sure thing, mind you — at a $150,000 federal grant for beautification. Downtown Fryeburg is not a slum by any stretch of the imagination. Could it use some revitalization? Sure. What downtown couldn’t? But not at the cost of a slum label. Donna Woodward, of Fryeburg Business Association, says “it’s a small price to pay.” We disagree. Swallowing a little pride is one thing, but slum? Not only would the moniker turn Fryeburg into a laughing stock in headlines across Maine, but it strikes us as cutting too close to the town’s soul. There are some beautiful new buildings in downtown Fryeburg. It’s a place where people still feel safe walking their dogs. It most certainly is not a slum, and Fryeburg citizens can, and should, do better.

Thanks for supporting the student trips To the editor: Every year the students at The Community School incorporate travel into our school year. Besides local and regional field work and trips, it’s great to go places we’ve never gone before. This year we have planned two really exciting trips to Washington, D.C. and Costa Rica. We brainstorm and plan all fall, but sometimes we need extra financial help to make it happen. This year, we decided to raise money all winter in hopes that every one of us would have the funding to be able to go on either trip. In addition to our own individual jobs and fundraising, and a cell phone recycling program, we are holding pancake breakfasts at the school on the second Saturday of every month. For January’s breakfast, we were able to have an amazingly cool raffle because of very generous supporters
from some of our hometowns. That’s why we are writing. We really want to thank Northern Extremes in North Conway, SkiWorks in West Ossipee, Groop Dezin in Tuftonboro, and Bayswater Bookstore in Center Harbor for their contributions to our January fundraiser. Your help added excitement and extra “sweetness” to our morning of sweet, healthy pancakes! We are so grateful for your support!

I am concerned about growing gap in wealth in this country To the editor: In response to George Clausen’s letter of Jan. 18: Mr. Clausen’s discussion of the Occupy Wall Street movement is full of biased views of its members and Democrats. As a Republican turned Democrat, I am not a communist, socialist, anarchist, etc. as Mr. Clausen labels all Democrats. Although I may not agree with all of Occupy Wall Street’s actions, I do agree with their belief that our economic system has changed for the worst and needs to be reformed. Mr. Clausen cites CNN money.com data that the top 1 percent earns 17 percent of the income and pay 37 percent of the taxes. That issue that should be addressed is the gain in income of the various groups. According to the Congressional Budget Office for the period from 1979 to 2007, income gain after taxes was: Top 1 percent increased 277 percent Middle 60 percent increased 38 percent
Bottom 20 percent increased 18 percent. The income gain of the bottom 99 percent experienced a gradual rise over the period. The top 1 percent income had increased by 100 percent from 1979 to 2002 but increased a 177 percent from 2002 to 2007. This was the period when all of the funny games on Wall Street occurred. The IRS Statistics on Income show that during the period 1992 to 2007, the effective tax rate of households with income over $1 million fell from 27 percent to 22 percent and the top 400 households fell from 27 percent to 17 percent. I am concerned about the growing gap in wealth in this country but also that the wealthy no longer produce tangible goods and services but make their money with leveraged buyouts and the kind of funny money games that resulted in President Bush having to bail out banks and investment firms.

Tele-Talk
What should be done about streetlights in North Conway Village? Thirty-three people answered this week’s Tele-Talk question: “What should be done about streetlights in North Conway Village?” Twenty said the lights should be turned back on; five said to keep street lights off. I’ve lived in North Conway permanently since 1996. Last night I went through the village — seven lights on, two people almost got hit. They have to walk on the side of the Red Jacket out in the street. Surprised something hasn’t happened yet. And it’s going to be on the blood of those selectmen. Having read and discussed today’s Tele-Talk during breakfast in the village with my family, our family votes for anything retro in the village. After skiing today, we’ll dine here in the village and tomorrow after skiing we’ll stop for a snack on the way home. So, we enjoy an older atmosphere that the village presents. No cobras please. Well first the style of lights is really irrelevant. They should be energy saving; the LED seems to be the best bet. But they should be focused so that light goes where it needs to go so that people driving or the pedestrians can see what’s going on instead of light going every which way. But the most important thing is that the lights should be on; every pole that has a light should be on. Driving down the road, all of a sudden there’s a pedestrian in front of you — you can’t hardly see anything. The village, especially at the crosswalks — maybe there should be an extra light, some sort of a focused spotlight. To do otherwise is negligent and the blood will be on the people who make the decisions on this. Light the place up; you encourage people to come up here and shop even after dark. It’s our responsibility to make sure that people don’t get hurt because they can’t be seen. The strip is a problem as well with no lights or hardly any lights. The thing is there is so much light in the parking lots for businesses on each side that it makes the road almost impossible to see properly. My comment about the streetlights in the village is that this is a perfect example of what happens when wellmeaning people who don’t know what they’re talking about manage to get federal tax dollars for a project that is not needed, not wanted and ultimately now being rejected by the very people who asked for it. It’s a good example of how not to run government. I agree with Janice Crawford, we just want lights. Just last night going into town on the North-South Road from Artist Falls Road in the rainy mist, I counted at least 10 lights out along the road going into town. All we want is lights in the valley. What should be done about the streetlights in North Conway? Leave them alone. Janice Crawford and the selectmen, people want starlight not streetlights. Be happy with the present fixtures which are partially paid for with federal funds. Many towns do wreaths and flags and personally I think it is very tacky. We should stick with the classic look. Use LED lights if necessary, but isn’t there enough lights
from all the stores not to need bright street lights. Come on get together with it. Let’s be a little more economical with it and shut the lights off. This is Barbara from Center Conway. I think that they should stop being so cheap on lighting in North Conway village and put the lights on. Have lighting; you’re a big tourist community; it’s the least you can do. It’s ridiculous cutting back on lighting. That also goes for all of North Conway. Lighting is very important and especially in our town. So wake up and stop being so cheap. I walk home from work every night — it’s nighttime when I walk home — and I get hit almost every single night walking home. I would appreciate it if they just turned them on. I don’t want to end up dead. Just turn them on so that doesn’t happen. I’m a concerned citizen here in Conway Village. In my opinion, I really don’t care how hideous the lights are in North Conway Village really. I don’t think that should be the issue at all. I hear a lot of people talking, and I’m one of them, about if you have to walk anywhere along side of Route 16 anywhere from Conway to North Conway Village, you’re lucky if you get there alive because the traffic can’t see you. You’re lucky to get there alive in the daytime, let alone at night. So I ‘d like to see a lot of these lights turned back on just so I don’t get killed going home at night. That’s my two cents. I’m an amateur astronomer. I have a great appreciation for the fewer lights we can have. When I was a kid you could go out almost anywhere and see this massive band of light across the sky from the Milky Way. Now, unless you’re out on the Kancamagus or someplace up in Crawford, someplace far from light, you can’t see it at all. Between the air pollution and the light pollution, we’ve destroyed looking at the sky. You know, we’re lucky we can see planets anymore. So, my answer — the fewer lights the better. Please turn the lights back on. It is dreadfully dangerous without them, especially in the wee hours of the morning. If you have an emergency, you cannot see anything up that way. Please turn the lights back on. The first thing that one should remember is that when former selectman Bob Drinkhall pushed to shut down some street lights to save some taxpayers money, he did not — and I repeat, did not — say we were turning out lights in North Conway Village or Conway Village business districts. Lights in other areas were the ones to be turned off. Douglas Swett, East Conway. Janice Crawford needs to put a zipper on it. But then given the economy, maybe she doesn’t have enough to do other than hiring her daughter as an employee of the chamber. Crawford should never ever tell the town what to do, and that’s particularly so when what she wants might have an impact on the tax payers. And, oh yes, someone should ask her if she polls the chamber’s membership before she spouts off. Totally disgusted. Sell the antique lamps on eBay. The only thing that would have made a
positive difference to the streetscape of the village would have been to bury the power lines. These lamps that apparently were paid for with all-too-typical waste of our federal tax dollars, are unnoticeable among the signs, poles, embarrassingly tacky “snowmen,” and so much more. To add cutesy wreaths and banners to this would only add insult to injury. When Janice Crawford say’s “People want light” she makes it sound like everyone, or certainly a large majority want light. I live in East Conway and do not have street lights and I like it that way. Out here in the country some of us enjoy the night sky and find the street lights distracting. Snow reflects urban street light up into the sky and causes light pollution. When Janice wants more light do we all have to see it too? Steve. Really sad; the taxpayers in Conway are so oppressed and overtaxed that they can’t pay for a few streetlights. Why do they find themselves in this predicament? I’m going to give you 34 million reasons why: the school budget. The “financial wizard” (Superintendent Carl Nelson) who is steering this town — “ship of financial fools” says 34 million isn’t enough and now wants another 1.5 million in warrant articles; that sadly the deaf, dumb, and blind voting majority in Conway will probably approve. This “financial wizard” has steered the town of Conway, and by association, the sending towns, into a financial dilemma so oppressive that you can’t afford to pay for a few street lights! Instead of balancing sensible, conservative budgeting and associated taxation, with simple quality education (what should be the approach for a small mountain community), the “financial wizard”, the various representatives, and the voting majority, are destroying the financial stability of thousands of struggling taxpayers; young working families, those approaching or in retirement, the elderly, and maybe a whole region; all in the name of education. I don’t know who would live in the town of Conway; property taxes are out of control; and it will never end, unless you end it! Conway, you want your streetlights on? Allow me give you some financial advice, bring the whole school system and it’s ridiculous budget back in line by cutting 30 percent from it; simplify, simplify, simplify. Then cut your property taxes by 30 percent also! Parents, education is everywhere. Don’t be fooled into thinking your kid must be at Kennett to succeed in life. I submit that each and every sending town drop out of the Conway school system and go somewhere else. Great teachers are all around. Look at education differently; parents get involved with your kids education! It’s determination, persistence, perseverance, commitment, character, focus, discipline, goal setting, and reading that count most; you’re not getting those things at Kennett. It begins and ends at home and it’s free! Do those things and you’ll have successful kids and money for streetlights. Until then, stop complaining! Sell ‘em for scrap, buy everybody
a flashlight, and put an end to this boring subject. This is Ralph in Eaton. The following Tele-Talk responses were posted on The Conway Daily Sun’s Facebook page: Now they care how Conway looks. Please discuss something important. They should be turned back on. Cut something out to save this so-called budget instead of endangering people that can’t drive well at night. Turn them back on. Can’t see a thing, and it’s worse when its raining, as I had first-hand experience trying to get to the hospital for an emergency. White Mountain Highway down to through town was really dark. It’s an accident waiting to happen. Oh, and you say the lights are hideous. Well, I think an accident would look much worse. He didn’t say the light was hideous — he said the fixtures were hideous. Top priority is we turn the lights back on. Pedestrians are practically invisible — very dangerous. Also, we look like we’re closed. Why would we want our town to look like we’re closed for business?! Finally, if it’s possible to upgrade to a fixture that would accept wreaths, flags, etc., we would love to see that at the same time. The town doesn’t even plow or maintain the sidewalks very well in North Conway, let alone Conway Village. Now let’s start discussing how neglected Main Street in Conway is by the town, as they just totally focus on North Conway, and totally blow off Conway Village. The sidewalks are in such disrepair right now in the summer, and there is so much potential there for tourism and businesses, but yet businesses are hurting in part because of the economy, but also in part because of neglect from the town of Conway. You need to turn the lights on in North Conway for safety reasons, and Conway Village needs to be taken care of for the same reasons. Thanks! OK, let me get this straight. They turn off some of the lights to save money, but they want to get rid of the lights that are fairly new because they don’t like the looks of them and spend more money to put in other ones? Besides, the ones there now are quaint. The LED lights are a good alternative. People who want lights could carry flashlights or wear headlamps. That’s how we do it out in the boondocks, and it won’t cost the town a penny. I almost hit two people running across Route 16 last night. It was so dark that I didn’t even see them until they were in front of my car! It is only a matter of time before someone is killed. It’s a matter of safety. Turn on the lights! If safety is an issue, then, yes, turn a few back on. Rather have people alive than not. I have kept quiet on this until now. Let’s get them all back on or even every other light better than nothing. Put the wreaths and skis back up in North Conway and put the red bells back in Conway Village. What happened to see TELE-TALK page 8

these items anyways? Of course update all with LED (including bells and wreaths); it would pay for itself over a period of time. Or are we all too cheap? Come on, folks — let’s show some good American pride with flags on all in summer months! Who cares what it cost — that’s why we budget things. We’re an America town — let’s show it. Next issue: the East Conway Road. Until we start taking care of what we already have, why would you add more to it? Here is one example: The American flag in the park is hanging by a corner (as it has for some time). Pretty decorations may help the village businesses turn a bigger profit, but I know what definitely will: properly maintained sidewalks! I am what you call “native” and grew up in one of the last remaining homes on Main Street. The sidewalk maintenance has never been worse in North Conway. Today is a good example of that. Ironically, the worst spots are in front of Zeb’s, Horsefeathers, Schouler park. Large portions have not been cleared at all; others have narrow paths filled with two to three inches water and ice. The only “good” spots on the sidewalk have been cleared by the private business that abut them: an example,: the 5&10 store. Not one crosswalk is shoveled out. You are forced to walk in the road in the village two days after a storm. If the excuse is broken-down equipment, which is what I was told, well, then get out your shovels. Yes, this is the way our sidewalks once were cleared, not all that long ago. I drive Route 16 every night on my way home, I cannot believe how dark it is, so dangerous. Even if every other light was turned on it would be much better than pitch black roadways and lots for people walking and enjoying this beautiful area. Do we need something to happen before we realize that it’s a good idea to light up the road? I am sure that we can save much more money in other areas. Please, turn the lights back on — please.
More lights should definitely be turned back on as there are some very dark sections and you can’t see even if there are people walking and it does look like no one is open for business! Why were they shut off in the first place and now discussing turning them back on and buying new energyefficient fixtures? And let’s replace the American flag(s) that are in need, and once decisions are made as to the “lights” situation, can we just leave them alone? And the sidewalks are a mess, but if you want people to come in your place of business, then get the shovels out! I witnessed an elderly couple trying to cross the street for the Dinner Bell about a month ago. There was a long break in traffic so the couple entered the street. About halfway across, the man realized the car approaching wasn’t slowing down. I blew my horn and the car jammed on their brakes. The man was dragging his wife by the arm, and she was walking with a limp! It was almost tragic! Lights, lights, lights — safety first! Please, Main Street is enough of a cluster without it being too dark as well. Where was Janice when many Conway residents got together to plead with the selectmen to keep them on in the first place? All they did then was take the original number to be shut off and double it. Safety first! The budget committee completely ignored over 1,000 signatures collected by taxpayers to keep the streetlights on. They had their minds made up to turn them off before the meeting ever took place! They then paid a local electrician the taxpayers’ money to take some of the lights down, after we already paid huge money to put them up! They also never applied for any grants out there for energy-efficient ways to keep streetlights on! Then did the same thing thing with the new town garage, spent lots of money to save an old building that will have to be replaced anyway. Stop stepping over a dime to pick up a penny! Oh, and plow the damn sidewalks!

for at least one business owner whose new venture will be tagged if the vote goes through. Vic Rollins bought Papa’s Florals on Main Street in late December. A week and a half later he found out about the proposed designation. “It kind of set me back on my heels a bit,” he said. “I just buy this property, and now they want to call it slum and blight.” The plan, according to Rollins, has two flaws: Adding a bike lane and green space will almost surely reduce parking, and it won’t improve the buildings, which are what the designation addresses. Adding sidewalks and plants won’t change the condition of the buildings, he said. “You’re calling something a name, but you’re not addressing the problem.” Additionally, according to Rollins, the whole process was handled poorly. “This might be the best thing since sliced bread,” he said, but it hasn’t been publicized enough or explained well enough to get property owners on board. “It just feels like this whole thing has been backroom politics.” Woodward is hoping others don’t share that view: “In the big picture it’s a great thing for Fryeburg,” she said. “It’s just a shame to have Fryeburg be a pass-through community.” Klinepeter, meanwhile, said he had no idea which way the vote will go. “It all depends on who shows up,” he said.

Portland Road. The warrant will ask voters “to designate a section of the downtown as slum and blighted,” he said. “This is the only way.” The designation will make the town eligible for a federal community development grant to pay for new sidewalks, curbing, lighting and green space. The town already got a $10,000 grant and did a study taking the first steps toward this project, Klinepeter said. “This is the second step.” The designation will not guarantee Fryeburg gets the grant, he said, but without it there is no chance of getting the money. “Bridgton, when they redid their downtown, went through the same process.” Still, the idea of declaring a portion of the town a slum was jarring to Klinepeter and others. “Everyone has to have somewhat of a concern,” Klinepeter said, but the town doesn't qualify for the other avenues to become eligible for the money. “There were concerns,” said Donna Woodward, of the Fryeburg Business Association, but “it’s a small price to pay for what you get in return.” “It’s not like it’s going to be a big billboard out there declaring Fryeburg slum and blight,” she said. “What we found out from other communities is that stigma doesn’t stay with you.” That explanation isn’t good enough

tighten the line up in places where you're not in a good position then you can't hold and you can't generate speed. I'm at a good spot right now and I just want to keep learning and figuring out where I can be faster. It's not just understanding this course, it's understanding how to be better on the turns and how to make up time by getting more out of the gates up ahead of you." In Saturday's race, Smith's teammate, Lindsey Vonn (Vail, Colo.) tore up the St. Moritz speed track for a 1.42 second margin of victory and her career 49th Audi FIS Alpine World Cup win. It was Vonn's eighth win of the season, second in two days, and extended her World Cup overall lead to 352 points over Slovenia's Tina Maze. Julia Mancuso (Squaw Valley, Calif.) was fifth, Smith seventh as three Americans crowded the top 10. "I've struggled in St. Moritz in the past and for some reason have always made major mistakes and have never won a downhill here," Vonn said on the ski team's website. (Saturday) I just tried to stay really relaxed. I knew where I had to execute the line and I think I did that."
Vonn praised Smith. "Leanne is skiing extremely well and I'm really happy for her and for Julia (Mancuso) and Laurenne (Ross), everyone is skiing really well," she said. "As a team, we're on a roll and it's fun to see all the girls so excited and skiing so well. Every day all of the girls on this team have a chance to be on the podium. Vonn won the downhill in 1:43.65, topping Maria Hoefl-Riesch, of Germany, 1:45.07, who was second, and Tina Weirather, of Liechtenstein, third, 1:45.12. Mancuso finished in 1:45.51 followed by Smith, seventh, 1:45.54; Ross, 16th, 1:46.28; Alice McKennis, 25th, 1:46.72; and Stacey Cook did not finish. On Friday, in the super combined, which features a morning downhill followed by slalom in the afternoon. Vonn led after the downhill portion, Smith was fourth and Mancuso fifth prior to the slalom. "We all have so much confidence," Vonn said. "Leanne has been really fast in a lot of races and today she put it through the finish in the downhill without any mistakes. She knows she can do it." Vonn won with a combined time of 2:28.35 followed by Slovinia's Tina Maze, 2:28.76; and Aus-
tria's Nicole Hosp, third, 2:28.93. Mancuso was the second American, finishing 13th in 2:32.17; Smith, who was a second behind Vonn in the morning downhill, was 23rd in the slalom to finish 18th overall in 2:33.09. She hasn't raced a greet deal of slalom or giant slalom in the past few years on the U.S. Ski Team as coaches have put an emphasis on her speed training. "I know I have the speed, but there's still a few things to fix," Smith said. "I just need to be cleaner in a couple of places." Doug Haney, chief press officer for the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association, posted the following comments after the downhill Saturday morning. "It's bluebird and absolutely perfect in St. Moritz, the kind of day that doesn't ask you to skip work, it tells you. Leanne likes days like that, she also likes St. Moritz. She spent more time in the leader box this morning than ever and sits fourth after the first run. Leanne spent a good 10 minutes in the leader box yesterday. She deserved it and better get used to it. Be proud, New Hampshire. You've got another Live Free or Die charger who can fullon hammer. "

listened to racers and are making changes to accommodate Meisters on Wednesday. Starting immediately, we’ll be making the following available to Meisters on race days,” said Cranmore president and general manager Ben Wilcox in a letter posting sent to racers. In that letter, Wilcox explained that effective immediately: * The lower level of Zip’s Pub and Grill can be used by Meisters for socializing and brown-bagging/potluck lunches. Racers can also now store their bags there. The doors will open at 8:30 a.m. * Zip’s Pub will be open at 11 a.m. and offer a pub menu. There will still be waitress service available in the facility for those who want it. * Meisters may also enjoy their food and refreshments on the deck off the back of Zip’s. Waitress service will also be available on the deck. * Kids are welcome to hang out in the lower level of Zip’s on race days as well. Sit-down service still available Wilcox explained that changes at Zip's Pub and Grille, located on the lower level of the facility, had come about after the resort hired Centerplate as its food vendor last June. “Thanks to the investment made by Centerplate, we were able to invest considerably in our facilities for this
winter. One of the biggest changes was changing the Eating House to a restaurant with waitress service, updating it from a food court and base lodge setup. The new restaurant setup has been popular with guests visiting us on weekends and holidays,” said Wilcox. Change is hard to come by, however, and racers complained. “We have received a lot of feedback on the new set up from our Meister racers,” said Wilcox, “and have shared your concerns with Mike Rennie, our new food and beverage director from Centerplate. Mike relocated to North Conway this summer and has quickly become an indispensable part of the Cranmore team along with his wife Sabrina. Mike is committed to making our new food and beverage operations work for all our customers, including Meisters.” Socializing key Meisters in past years have gathered in the lower level to put on their equipment, share stories and camaraderie, and talk about their strategy for tackling the course or recounting how they'd done on their run. In the past few weeks, they have gone to the main lodge, which offers changing areas on the lower levels by the rest rooms, and on two upper levels. It fragmented the social aspect that is part of Meister racing, Wilcox agreed. In a phone interview Monday, Wilcox said the best

part about Mountain Meister racing is the camaraderie — going back to the traditional way for racers to gather will restore that, he said. “We are only three weeks into Meisters season, so we have seven more to go and plenty of time for everyone to enjoy the best of Meisters,” said Wilcox. Several other local restaurants have traditionally offered Meisters specials and some had stepped that up in response to the displeasure with the changes at Cranmore. The good news about all of that, noted Wilcox, is that Meisters is seen as a viable race series with social value to the community. “People missed what is offered as Zip's. We listened, and we have made the changes. If people want to order chili and a beer from wait service on Wednesdays, they can; of they want to brown bag it, they can do that too and enjoy the deck as well,” said Wilcox. Live music will continue every Wednesday of the Meisters season from 4 to 6 p.m., according to Wilcox. Ryan St. Onge performs Feb. 1, and a mid-season Meister party will be hosted by Carl Iacozili Feb. 8. Founded as the Local Yokel in 1972, the race series became known as Mountain Meisters in the early 1980s. It is said to be the oldest weekly recreational citizens race series in the country.

Two Raiders reach 100 victory milestone Fryeburg Academy juniors Connor Sheehan and Jake Thurston have reached the 100 victory mark in wrestling. (LAYKN OSGOOD PHOTO)
BY CHARLIE TRYDER THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
FRYEBURG — In wrestling, 100 career wins is a milestone that separates the good high school career from an stellar one. In the past week, two Raiders reached this impressive achievement. Jake Thurston captured his 100th win against Windham, and Connor Sheehan reached his milestone against Dirigo on Wednesday. Coach Bryce Thurston said the two wrestlers, both
just juniors, reached the milestone by way of some shared similarities in approach. “They are both always attacking,” he said. “They don’t wait. They always want that takedown and to get in their opponents’ heads. They both have real good technique on their feet. Jake likes to break down the arms, but Connor likes to ride the opponents’ legs. They are pretty smart and smooth when see WRESTLING page 17

John Bishop posts league best fifth shutout in Kennett victory at ConVal Senior John Bishop has been rock-solid in goal for the Division III leading Kennett High hockey team.
BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
CONWAY — John Bishop posted his league-best fifth shutout of the season and forwards Kevin Murphy and Connor Todd had four-point efforts Saturday as the Kennett High ice hockey team continued its winning ways on the road. The Eagles blanked host ConVal 5-0. KHS is still under the weather, battling the flu and although not yet back to full strength, has managed to remain undefeated in Division III raising its record to 9-0. ConVal dropped to 0-8-1. “The flu is the gift that keeps on giving,” Michael Lane, Eagles’ head coach, said, laughing, Monday. “We’re still not 100 percent. We didn’t have Cody (Richard) on Saturday and we don’t have Anthony LaRusso today.” Lane had been concerned the Eagles might suffer from bus lag after over three hours on the bus traveling to the morning venue. It turned out a penalty on the boys from Conway just three minutes into play ignited the Eagles. “It seemed to give us a spark,” Lane said. “After that we played a real good first and second period. We played very well hockey-wise.” Kennett took the lead for good six minutes into the first period when Murphy scored on a slapshot from the top of the right circle with Connor Todd and Matt Kelly assisting on the goal.

Just 31 seconds later Murphy struck again, scoring off a feed from Dillon Smith and Todd. With 5:24 remaining in the period, junior Nick Massa found pay-dirt from close range pouncing on the rebound of a Justin Munck shot. Kennett upped its lead to 4-0 early in the second period with Todd converting a pass from Murphy. Smith closed out the scoring minutes later when the Eagles capitalized on a five-on-three power-play with assists going yo Murphy and Todd. Smith is closing in on the 100 career point mark and is less than a dozen away from that milestone. Bishop turned away 20 Cougar shots in the contest to keep another clean sheet. “Bish and the defense (Kelly, Chris King, Dan Rivera, Dane Rivera and Robert Moody) are playing well,” Lane said. “John is doing such a good job of controlling his crease. When you’re not saying your goalie’s name a lot that means he’s doing a good job.” The Eagles will face their stiffest test to date tomorrow when they travel to play Belmont-Gilford. B/G improved to 7-3 on the season with their fifth straight win on Saturday when they topped Souhegan on the road. “We’ve got to get ready for a huge game,” Lane said. “It’s a real big test for us on the road against a very good hockey team. They’ve won six out of seven see HOCKEY page 14

Eagles get physical, beat St. Thomas, 43-37, now 7-4 BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
CONWAY — The Kennett High girls basketball team learned the importance of playing physical for an entire game last week. Coach Larry Meader believes Merrimack Valley exerted its physical presence on the Eagles Thursday and left town with a 48-34 victory. Visiting St. Thomas attempted to apply the same formula Saturday afternoon and it worked for a half. Kennett ramped up its physicality meter several notches in the second half and erased a fivepoint intermission deficit quickly on its way to a impressive 43-37 win. “We never combatted Merrimack Valley’s physicalness,” Meader said. “They came out aggressive from the start and we never really recovered. Saturday we did a much better job of handling what St. Thomas threw at us.” Down five, 22-17, at the half, Kennett switched its defense to a fullcourt man-to-man pressure and it paid instant dividends. “The girls played really hard,” Meader said. “We played pretty much man-to-man the whole second half and that allowed us to to play physical. (Laughing) We had a lot of tongues dragging at the end.” KHS outscored the Saints 16-6 in the third period allowing the hosts a 33-28 advantage heading into the final frame. Jordan Murphy hit a big three-pointer and Kaylin Samia had a three-point play the old fashioned way with a basket and a free throw to key the third quarter comeback.
Kennett put the defensive clamps on St. Thomas’ top two scorers, who had combined to average 25 points per game, limiting them to just 10 points Saturday, inkling only three in the second half. Lauren White led the Eagles with a double-double, 11 points and 10 rebounds. Casey Blakely added 8 points; Murphy, 7; Jessie Wagner, 7; Samia, 6; Kaitlin “Shaq” Taylor, 2; and Lauren Kidder, 2. Blakely also pulled down eight rebounds while Wagner and Murphy both grabbed five. Kennett matched up well early on with Merrimack Valley, but the Pride (7-4) went on a 4-1 run to close the first period in front 16-13. The Eagles didn’t help their cause by going only 3-8 from the foul line in the first eight minutes. MV led 28-19 at the half and built the lead to 41-22 after three quarters. Kennett went on an 11-0 run to pull within 11, 46-35, but came up short on a pair of three-pointers that would have gotten the game into single digits. Blakely and White both had 8 points for Kennett while Murphy, Taylor and White each has 5; and Kidder and Erin Milford scored 2 apiece. The win lifted Kennett to 7-4 in Division II and avenged a two-point loss (45-43) to the Saints on Dec. 16. Kennett travels to Wolfeboro today (6:30 p.m.) to play Kingswood (4-6) for the second time this season. The Eagles beat the Knights 38-25 in Redstone on Dec. 13, the opening night of the regular season.
Erin Milford has provided a spark off the bench for the Eagles.
Raiders lost to the Rangers 47-37 in Fryeburg. Maggie McConkey and Sky Dole led the Raiders against Sacopee with 11 points each. The Raiders started building their lead in the second quarter when they went on a 10-2 run to break a 6-6 tie and give them a 16-8 lead. The Raiders outscored the Hawks
13-6 in the third quarter for a 29-16 third quarter lead. Emily Wilson’s two three pointers in the quarter aided the Raider cause. The Raiders never looked back in the fourth quarter.

Raider girls down Hawks, 44-22, but lose to the Rangers BY CHARLIE TRYDER THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
FRYEBURG — The Fryeburg Academy girls’ basketball team traveled to Sacopee Valley on Tuesday and hosted Greely on Friday night. The Raiders fared better on the road when they defeated the Sacopee Hawks 44-22 in South Hiram. A late rally against Greely fell short on Friday as the HOCKEY from page 13

held Fryeburg to one basket in the first quarter and took an 11-2 lead at the end of one quarter. They added to that lead scoring the first five points of the second quarter before McConkey drove and fed Dole to make it 19-4. The half finished 22-4. Although the Raiders started find-

Greely stops Fryeburg’s winning streak at three games BY CHARLIE TRYDER THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
FRYEBURG — The Fryeburg Academy boys basketball team whipped its rival Lake Region 63-48 at home for its third win in a row and fourth in their last five games on Tuesday, but Greely brought the Raiders back to earth in Cumberland on Friday by beating them 62-39. The split left the Raiders at 4-10 with four games reamining against Freeport, Gray, Lake Region, and Poland, all teams who they will be jockeying with for the last preliminary tournament slots. The Raiders spread their scoring on Tuesday with a balanced attack. Djordje Obradovic led the Raiders with 16 points, Bright Amoako added 14, and Walker Mallory 13. Jonathan Burk and Michael Costa rounded out the scoring for Fryeburg with 10 points each. Coach Sedge Saunders spoke on having five players score in double figures. “ I am not sure we have had three people in double figures before this. It was a pleasant surprise.” The Raiders had 20 assists as a team on 26 field goals. Saunders enjoyed the unselfish play of his team. “Most of our scoring came off assists. Our offense came off our ball movement both in transition and in the half court.” Both teams started the game hot with the Raiders taking a 19-18 lead after one quarter and 32-26 at the half. Fryeburg came out of locker room intent on staying aggressive. According to Saunders, the message was, “We need to push the ball on offense and pressure their guards on defense and force turnovers. We wanted to push the ball on offense because Lake Region was not getting back on defense well, and on defense we thought their guards could be vulnerable.” Although the Raiders eventually wore the Lakers down in the third and fourth quarters, things did not look good early. Fryeburg entered the game without an injured Noles and an ill Tyler Saunders, and Bobby Ramsey rolled his ankle early in the game. The injuries and illness left the Raiders extremely thin, but ninth grader Burk played the whole game and contributed 10 points and three rebounds. He was 4-4 from the field and 2-2 from the line. The ninth grader’s ability to step into a big game and
produce impressed Saunders. “For a ninth grader to come into a high intensity Fryeburg-Lake Region rivalry game was a real boost,” he said. “He is in great shape. He’s a crosscountry runner so playing the whole game wasn’t a big issue for him.” Amoako had another outstanding all around game with 14 points, 11 assists, eight rebounds and eight steals. Costa had five assists and applied some defensive pressure on the Lake Region backcourt to go along with his 10 points. Mallory added four steals to his 13 points. After almost knocking off Greely at home before Christmas, the Raiders looked to upset the Rangers on the road and garner some valuable heal points as they push for a post-season appearance. Fryeburg played the Greely club evenly for the first half, but trailed 29-27 going into the locker room. Saunders liked the energy in the early performance. “We came out strong early. We hit some threes and hung in there.” Unfortunately, the Raiders could not contain Bailey Train who hit five threes in the first half, and seven in the entire game, or Mike McDevitt, who
totaled 21 points, 17 rebounds and five blocks. Saunders said Fryeburg’s inability to contain Train and McDevitt was the key to the game, “We did not get to Train and we couldn’t stop McDevitt. They are both good players. We could not slow either of them down.” Eventually the Raiders ran out of gas in the second half. Their two-point halftime deficit grew to 11 after three quarters and Greely pulled away in the fourth quarter for the 62-39 win. Although he hates making excuses, Saunders understood the drop off in the Raider performance, “We hit a wall in the second half. We have worked hard the past couple of weeks to turn things around, and being on the road on a snow day, I think it all just caught up with us.” Amoako led the Raiders with 10 points. Mallory and Tyler Saunders finished with eight apiece for Fryeburg. Saunders remains pleased with the Raiders’ effort and focus on team play. After an 0-8 start, he says, “They could have packed it in, but they didn’t and that is why we are still in the playoff hunt.”
Raiders second indoor for the girls; boys take third FRYEBURG — The Raider girls finished second in a seven-team indoor track meet on Saturday at USM in Gorham, Maine. The Raiders finished with 106 points defeating Freeport, Wells, North Yarmouth Academy, Lake Region and Cape Elizabeth. Greely won the meet with 267 points. The boys scored 84 points, good enough for third place in their meet behind Greely (156 points) and Cape Elizabeth (119). As usual, Sage Hennessey, Jamie Gullickson, Emily Heggie and Corinn Bedell led the Raider effort. Hennessey won the long jump with a 14’9.25” leap, the 200 with a 27.14 time, and the 55 with 7.60 time. Bedell won the 400 in 1:00.38 in a Western Maine Conference record setting performance. She also placed second in the 55 with a 7.81 time. Heggie won the high jump by clearing 4’10”, and she took two second places. Her 8-06 was foot below Bonnevie of Greely in the pole vault, but this was
good enough for a second place finish. Gullickson also placed second in the 800 with a time of 2:37.14 and added a fourth in the 55 hurdles with a 10.27 time. Other Raiders adding to the team point total included Nikki Shivers who finished third in the 200 with a 28.54 time and fourth in the 55 with a 7.92 time. Sierra Moore placed fourth in the shot put with a throw of 25’10.5”. The Raider 800 relay team won the event with a 1:53.69 time. The relay team continues to own the best time in the state at this time. For the boys, Stefan Sjekloca finished third in the long jump with a 16’7.75” jump. Jared Schrader (FA) 5-04 placed second in the high jump with a 5’4” jump. Fair jumped 5’2” for a fifth place finish in the high jump and triple jumped 33’8” for a third place finish. Scott Pelkie won the shot put with a 41’1” throw, while Frank finished fourth with a 35’10” throw. Ward placed sixth in the 200 with a 25.36, and Milos Mijikov placed fifth in the 55 with a 7.13 time.

ing their offensive rhythm in the third quarter, they could not stop Greely. The Raiders and Rangers swapped buckets through the quarter, which ended with Fryeburg trailing 39-19. The Raiders made a late rally scoring the first 8 points of the fourth quarter to close the gap to 39-27. After Greely extended their lead to 43-27 with 3:18 to go, Fryeburg made another run and again cut the lead to 45-37 with under a minute to go, but that was as close as the Raiders could get. Although the Raiders could not erase the huge first half lead that Greely built, the Raiders did show tremendous character by coming out and playing hard for the entire second half. Dole led the Raiders with 10 points. McConkey and Kendra Fox tallied 7 points each. TRIATHLON from page 12

Kennett boys come oh-so close to first win BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
CONWAY — The Kennett High boys basketball team came oh-so close to recording its first Division II win of the season Thursday in Concord against Merrimack Valley. The Eagles gave the Pride fits and nearly pulled off the upset but fell 60-57. MV improved to 6-4 with the victory and moved into eighth place in the 24 school standings. KHS slipped to 0-9 and is ranked 23rd. “The boys played very, very well,” Steve Cote, Eagles’ head coach, said. “It was one of those games where the things that has been our Achilles’ heel really didn’t come into play. …It was pretty exciting. We didn’t turn the ball over very much, we protected the basketball, plus we hit our free throws (12 of 17) which was nice to see.” It looked liked it might be a long night for the boys from Conway initially when they got off to another slow start. “We were down 8-1 to start but the guys fought their way back,” Cote said. The Pride led 18-15 after the first period and managed to extend their lead to 39-25 at halftime. “The last two to three minutes of the second quarter we had trouble,” Cote said. “We started rushing our possessions and got caught up trying to play Merrimack Valley’s tempo. We didn’t defend the perimeter very well and that allowed them a few too many open looks.” RAIDERS from page 12
they wrestle. They have good flow from one move to another.” Thurston, who wrestles at 145 pounds, is battling a bone spur in his elbow, but he is wrestling nonetheless. Dad, Coach Thurston, described his son’s wrestling strengths in more detail. “He is real good on his feet,” he said. “He is getting so he is very offensive. He has three or four takedown moves that he is perfecting, and he doesn’t stay on bottom long when he ends up there. He escapes quickly and gets back on his feet where he is comfortable, and he can take people down.” Thurston finished third in state as a ninth grader. He won nearly all his matches as a sophomore and went to finals and barely lost to a tough Camden wrestler. He continues to add to his win total this year with only two losses, both to the Marshwood 145. Since Marshwood is in Class A, Thurston will not see him in the postseason, but Coach Thurston noted that there is a very challenging wrestler from Morse who will challenge young Thurston in the regionals and states. Like most athletes who go on to make their mark, Thurston started wrestling young. He started the sport in the first grade. He had a 100 middle school wins in the seventh grade, and he was the undefeated Pine Tree League Champion

Cote’s troops made some adjustments at halftime and went on to outscore their hosts 32-23 and turned the contest into a fantastic finish. “We protected the ball much better and we played to our tempo,” Cote said. “We absolutely had a chance to win it.” Kennett trimmed Valley’s lead to 49-37 after three periods and went on a fourth quarter run to make things very interesting. Robert Starkey drained a three-pointer with 1:20 to play to pull KHS within four. The Eagles called a time-out and then tried to trap the Pride but was forced to foul. MV missed both free throws and Kennett came down with a shot to trim the deficit even further, but missed on the effort and was forced to foul again. Merrimack Valley made both foul shots to extend the lead to six, but KHS’s Ryan Vajentic hit a three-pointer in the waning seconds to make it a three-point game. “It was great to be in a game against an elite team,” Cote said. “It was fun right to the buzzer. I’m hoping this game can be a great confidence builder for us.” Alex Milford led the Eagles with 13 points. Starkey added 11; Jordan Stocker, 7; Vajentic, 7; Michael Lautenschlager, 6; Seth Davison, 6; and Brandon DiLucchio, 4. The Eagles, who hosted arch-rival Kingswood (4-4) last night (results not known as of press time), will head to top ranked Hanover (9-0) on Saturday. The Marauders beat Kennett 67-25 in Redstone last Tuesday.

his eighth grade year. Connor Sheehan, who wrestles at113, earned his 100th win this Wednesday against Dirigo with a technical fall. Thurston continued his description of Sheehan. “He has taken down every kid he has wrestled,” he wrestled. “He is fast and real strong for his size. He can ride an opponent out for a period. He gets out from underneath opponents within 20 seconds. He tends to tech fall people more so than pin them.” Sheehan started wrestling in the third grade. He played basketball for a couple of years, but then switched to wrestling. Like Thurston, he won a lot of matches in middle school and had early success in high school. The Raider wrestlers are more than just good wrestlers. Thurston says of his son, Jake, and Connor, “They are good leaders and hard workers. They push each other and their teammates.”

‘Sound of Music’ was a wonderful evening The heavy snow/ice is slowly falling off my one roof, which doesn’t have much of an angle…if it hit someone, it would probably do a lot of damage. Let’s hope we have no more rain and ice this winter. Be very careful of falling snow and ice. Forty-four people enjoyed a wonderful musical evening at the Inn at Crystal Lake last Thursday. The night at the opera featured the beautiful “Sound of Music,” by Rodgers and Hammerstein. It was first performed in 1959 and depicts the story of the Von Trapp family on the eve of World War II in Salzburg, Austria, and how they were able to escape eventually to Vermont. Tim Ostendorf and Mary Edes did a marvelous job singing “The Hills Are Alive,” “Edelweiss,” “Climb Every Mountain,” “My Favorite Things,” and one not in the movie version, “How Can Love Survive.” Ellen Schwindt accompanied them beautifully on the piano and the audience was even invited to sing along on a few songs. What fun! Thanks to Annie, Bobby, and the entire kitchen crew for a great menu. I had the Potato Leek Soup, the mixed greens salad, the Salzburg Schnitzel, and German Chocolate Cake, all simply delicious.

Annual 'Boots N’ Bling' fundraising event for Starting Point set for June 2 BARTLETT — Plans are underway for the second annual “Boots ‘N Bling” Charity Auction and Fundraising Dinner to raise needed funds for Starting Point, Services for Victims of Domestic Violence & Sexual Assault. The event will be held at the Ellis River Campground in Bartlett, on Saturday, June 2 starting at 5:30 p.m. The 2011 event was the single largest fund-raising event in the history of the organization, raising more than $30,000. The event would not be possible without the support of the business community and the agency is appreciative that Northway Bank has returned as the presenting sponsor. Additional sponsorships are available and the board of directors of the agency is actively seeking auction items. Hosted by the Goss family and Glen Ellis Campground, the tented event, along the banks of the Ellis River, includes an array of cocktails and appetizers; dozens of creative and unusual silent auction items; and a sit-down dinner of gourmet entrees and wines. The main event is the lively and out-loud auction of local crafts, art, trips and experiences, followed by live country music and dancing. Tickets to the event are $75 and only 200 are available. This event was sold out last year; tickets can be purchased now by calling (603) 447-2494 or by going to the agency web site at startingpointnh.org. Full tables of eight are available and include special goodie bags and decorations. Corporate tables are encouraged and everyone is welcome to wear their best blue jeans, fanciest LIBRARY from page 18

On Friday, Feb. 10 at 11 am, local businessman Scott Birth, who has experience as a hiring manager, will present a workshop on job interviews.

boots, and tallest ten-gallon hat. Starting Point: Services for Victims of Domestic & Sexual Violence is a not-for-profit agency comprised of a small staff of professionals as well as trained volunteers. The goal of the agency is to address and ultimately end the cycle of violence in the home, while supporting victims of domestic and sexual violence with dignity and compassion. Advocacy on behalf of victims includes a wide variety of support services. Providing services since 1981, the agency served more than 600 individuals in Carroll County in 2011. Rebuilding a life after violence is not always a smooth journey. Trained advocates, both professional and volunteer, are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to assist victims on their road to healing. In addition to 24-hour support via the support line, Starting Point also provides assistance through shelter, legal and medical advocacy and support groups. Education and prevention counseling are offered to K-12 schools, community and business groups. Starting Point takes every opportunity to raise awareness about the cycle of domestic violence, dating violence, and sexual assault in Carroll County communities. Starting Point is supported through grants, donations, and funding from victim’s assistance programs through the State of New Hampshire as well as local communities in Carroll County. For more information about the event or the agency call 447-2494 or go to startingpointnh.org To register for either or both of the job seekers workshops, please contact the Madison Library at 367-8545. There is no charge for the workshops, which will be held in the Chick Room at the Madison Library. The Madison Library is planning to continue its series of job seekers workshops in March, and will welcome volunteers from local businesses who can share tips on online job applications that stand out and on successful phone interviews.

DILBERT
by Scott Adams
By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Have no fear of failure. If you can’t make something work now it just means that you were meant for a different kind of challenge. Besides, you do a stellar impression of a glorious phoenix rising up from the ashes. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You feel rich within. Your self-confidence is deep, and you know you have much to give. You’re almost ready to merge your assets and share your confidences with another person. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Even when you feel you have enough to survive and be happy, you will keep working. You hate to feel idle, and it brings you personal satisfaction to excel beyond what is necessary. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The contrast between your laid-back style and the preferences of a tidy, logical and overly detailed person may be a source of friction. If you can find a compromise, what you accomplish together will be absolutely brilliant. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You will feel like you’ve been left in the dark on a certain topic and the unknown is daunting. But you’re too courageous to let that stop you. Shine your mental flashlight, start poking around and you’ll find your way. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 31). It will be as though you have the golden touch. It’s not important to you to win all of the time, but you’ll revel in the victory that comes in the next six weeks. You bring harmony to your family and other groups. There will be a happy change in April. Your work will be prominently featured in June. Cancer and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 25, 1, 12 and 15.
Get Fuzzy
ARIES (March 21-April 19). In order to know what’s best for you, you have to know yourself. You’ll learn the most about yourself through your conversations with the deeper thinkers in your midst. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Intimate encounters, life passages and joint enterprises unfold in the weeks to come. As you cherry pick your activities today, you’ll appreciate that much is available to you now that wasn’t before. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Go into long-term arrangements with great caution, especially when finances are on the line. You would be wise to look to the person behind the venture rather than at the venture itself. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Negotiations and compromises are the outward manifestations of inner security. You know how safe another person really feels by the way he or she sorts out the details of a deal. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You may feel a strong pull toward positions of leadership and power. You like to be in control and may even feel that you need to be in charge or everything will not get done the detailed way you prefer. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You will put aside your need to have everything unfold as it’s “supposed to,” and you’ll embrace the spirit of drama that colors this day. It will feel right to let your emotions lead you into a highly creative state of mind. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Get the contact info of anyone you find interesting. You’re likely to come into contact with a wide array of characters, most of whom you may not meet again unless you make the effort to do so.

THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Tuesday, January 31, 2012— Page 23
Today is Tuesday, Jan. 31, the 31st day of 2012. There are 335 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Jan. 31, 1961, NASA launched Ham the Chimp aboard a Mercury-Redstone rocket from Cape Canaveral; Ham was recovered safely from the Atlantic Ocean following his 16½-minute suborbital flight. On this date: In 1606, Guy Fawkes, convicted of treason for his part in the “Gunpowder Plot” against the English Parliament and King James I, was executed. In 1797, composer Franz Schubert was born in Vienna. In 1865, Gen. Robert E. Lee was named general-in-chief of all the Confederate armies. In 1917, during World War I, Germany served notice it was beginning a policy of unrestricted submarine warfare. In 1929, revolutionary Leon Trotsky and his family were expelled from the Soviet Union. In 1944, during World War II, U.S. forces began a successful invasion of Kwajalein Atoll and other parts of the Japanese-held Marshall Islands. In 1945, Pvt. Eddie Slovik, 24, became the first U.S. soldier since the Civil War to be executed for desertion as he was shot by an American firing squad in France. In 1950, President Harry S. Truman announced he had ordered development of the hydrogen bomb. In 1958, the United States entered the Space Age with its first successful launch of a satellite into orbit, Explorer I. In 1971, astronauts Alan Shepard, Edgar Mitchell and Stuart Roosa blasted off aboard Apollo 14 on a mission to the moon. In 1992, leaders of the U.N. Security Council’s member states held an unprecedented summit, after which they issued a declaration on collective security, arms control and nuclear non-proliferation. In 2000, an Alaska Airlines jet spiraled into the Pacific Ocean off Port Hueneme, Calif., killing all 88 people aboard. One year ago: A federal judge in Florida declared the Obama administration’s health care overhaul unconstitutional, siding with 26 states that argued people cannot be required to buy health insurance. Egypt’s military promised not to fire on peaceful protests and recognized “the legitimacy of the people’s demands.” Myanmar opened its first parliament in more than two decades, an event greeted with cautious optimism by opposition lawmakers despite the military’s tight management of the event. Today’s Birthdays: Actress Carol Channing is 91. Baseball Hall-of-Famer Ernie Banks is 81. Composer Philip Glass is 75. Actor Stuart Margolin is 72. Actress Jessica Walter is 71. Blues singer-musician Charlie Musselwhite is 68. Actor Glynn Turman is 66. Baseball Hall-of-Famer Nolan Ryan is 65. Singer-musician Harry Wayne Casey is 61. Rock singer Johnny Rotten is 56. Actress Kelly Lynch is 53. Actor Anthony LaPaglia is 53. Singer-musician Lloyd Cole is 51. Rock musician Jeff Hanneman (Slayer) is 48. Rock musician Al Jaworski (Jesus Jones) is 46.

EMAILED PHOTO OF AILING MOM IS REASON TO RESTRICT VISITORS
DEAR ABBY: Recently my 80-year-old mother was admitted to the hospital, gravely ill. She had been undergoing chemotherapy and caught double pneumonia. My 36-year-old niece went to visit Mama, took pictures of her lying in her hospital bed and emailed the photos to everyone. It was shocking and upsetting seeing my mother this way. Many of the people who received the photos had not been able to visit her. Abby, what’s your opinion on this, and how should it have been handled? -- SINCERELY UPSET IN FLORIDA DEAR SINCERELY UPSET: I don’t blame you for being upset. What your niece did was a gross invasion of privacy. Is this how your mother would have wanted people to see her? If the answer is no, your niece owes your mother an apology. If your mother is still hospitalized, talk to the nurse in charge of the unit she’s in and give her a list of visitors who should have access to her. Explain why you want visitation restricted, and in the future your mother’s privacy will be assured. DEAR ABBY: My sister’s husband died suddenly three years ago. “Pamela” now says she’s in love with a 60-yearold man I’ll call “Mickey,” whose company is doing construction work on her home. She has put on a new roof, siding and added a deck, and the jobs are not ending. Next on the schedule is a shed and a new coat of paint for the inside of the house. Friends and family are concerned that Pamela is scheduling more jobs as a way to see Mickey. When I pointed out that he hasn’t even invited her out for coffee, she claimed they
have a “relationship” because he hugged her, kissed her on the cheek and told her, “You’re my girlfriend.” Pamela has invited Mickey to family dinners and events, but he turns her down because “he’s visiting relatives out of town.” He has never invited her to go anywhere. My sister should be ready to date now, but no one lives up to this man. None of us have met him, and we’re worried she is just imagining there’s a relationship. What can we do before Pamela goes broke or crashes emotionally? -- SOMETHING’S MISSING IN NEW JERSEY DEAR SOMETHING’S MISSING: Do you know the name of Mickey’s company? Start checking him out. Does he have a contractor’s license? A Facebook page? Does anybody in the lumber or paint business know him? Something does seem fishy. Mickey may be married and your sister may be grasping at straws. But when all is said and done, it is her money. DEAR ABBY: I am a 12-year-old girl who needs your advice. My friend and I went shopping a while back and she lent me money to buy a few things. However, later that day she lost the bag that had my stuff in it at the mall. One day she brought up that I have not paid her back, but I said I don’t think I should have to pay her back since she lost the stuff she bought for me. Who do you think is right? -- NEEDS ADVICE IN OAKLAND, CALIF. DEAR NEEDS ADVICE: You are. She’s out the money; you’re out the “goods.” You’re even. However, from now on when you buy something, take responsibility for it and keep it in your possession. That way, if something is lost, you will have no one to blame but yourself.
