The New Testament: For Jews,

by Jews

SAN FRANCISCO (NY Times) — As a little Jewish girl in North Dartmouth, Mass., Amy-Jill Levine loved Christianity.

“I grew up in a neighborhood that was almost entirely Portuguese and Roman Catholic,” Dr. Levine said Sunday at her book party here during the annual American Academy of Religion conference.

Christianity might have stayed just a fascination, but for an unfortunate episode in second grade: “When I was 7 years old, one girl said to me on the school bus, ‘You killed our lord.’ I couldn’t fathom how this religion that was so beautiful was saying such a dreadful thing.”

That encounter with the dark side of her friends’ religion sent Dr. Levine on a quest, one that took her to graduate school in New Testament studies and eventually to Vanderbilt University, where she has taught since 1994. Dr. Levine is still a committed Jew but she is a leading New Testament scholar.

And she is not alone. The book she has just co-edited with a Brandeis University professor, Marc Zvi Brettler, “The Jewish Annotated New Testament,” is an unusual scholarly experiment: an edition of the Christian holy book edited entirely by Jews.

The volume includes notes and explanatory essays by 50 leading Jewish scholars.

CAIRO (NY Times) — The White House on Friday threw its weight behind Egypt’s resurgent protest movement, urging for the first time the handover of power by the interim military rulers in the Obama administration’s most public effort yet to steer Egypt toward democracy.

The White House released the statement supporting the transfer of power to a civilian government “as soon as possible” as tens of thousands of demonstrators poured into Tahrir Square for what may be the biggest display of anger in a week of protests against the military’s intention to retain power even after

In addition to discounts, several retailers were offering layaway as a new option this year, allowing people to pay for purchases over time.

Banks prepare for the Plan B Europe won’t even consider

PARIS (NY Times) — For the growing chorus of observers who fear that a breakup of the euro zone might be at hand, Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany has a pointed rebuke: It’s never going to happen.

But some banks are no longer so sure, especially as the sovereign debt crisis threatened to ensnare Germany itself this week, when investors began to question the nation’s stature as Europe’s main pillar of stability.

On Friday, Standard & Poor’s downgraded Belgium’s credit standing to AA from AA+, saying it might not be able to cut its towering debt load any time soon.

Ratings agencies this week cautioned that France could lose its AAA rating if the crisis grew. On Thursday, agencies lowered the ratings of Portugal and Hungary to junk.

While European leaders still say there is no need to draw up a Plan B, some of the world’s biggest banks, and their supervisors, are doing just that.

Guinta: Obama not doing enough to create jobs and boost the U.S. economy

BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

MANCHESTER — President Obama was in the Granite State Tuesday speaking about jobs and the economy, but Congressman Frank Guinta (R-Manchester) says actions speak louder than words. The first-term District I representative believes the president and his Democratic party are stalling progress on the jobs front.

“I’m glad President Obama recognizes the need for good, middle-class jobs,” Guinta said Tuesday afternoon.

“He and I agree on that. But he neglected to mention a key fact: The House of Representatives is actively working to help job creators hire new

employees. We have passed more than 20 job-creating bills in recent months and sent them to the Senate, where Mr. Obama’s allies have neglected all of them.

“The country doesn’t need another version of the costly and unsuccessful stimulus plan. We need to let businesses do what they do best: create, innovate and expand. That’s what the 20-plus bills passed by the House will do. You’re right, Mr. President, we do need more jobs; but you’re wrong, sir, in wanting to throw more borrowed money at the problem and hope that solves it.”

Guinta isn’t just frustrated with the Democrats. He had hoped the so-called super committee — the congressional panel, made up by Republicans and Democrats, assigned to fashion big cuts in the perilously expanding U.S. deficit — would be able to work out their difference and find some common ground. However, after months of discussion, the committee members failed to bridge bitter ideological differences separating Republicans and Democrats. Republicans refused to cross their ideological line against increasing taxes. Democrats refused to allow cuts in popular programs that serve the elderly and poor without a compensating growth of government income, especially from the wealthiest Americans.

The close of business Monday marked the deadline for constructing a plan to slash $1.2 trillion from federal red ink. Now about $1 trillion in automatic cuts in spending for defense and a range of other government agencies will automatically co into effect over the next two years.

“It was Harry Reid (senator, D-Nevada) who wanted the super committee,” Guinta said by phone Monday. “I think it was important for the committee to come up with alternatives to see a spending reduction, but unfortunately, it doesn’t look like that is going to happen. I see where the American people are frustrated, I’m frustrated.

“The House representatives did make a proposal that was very fair,” he continued. “Congressman (James) Clyburn (D-S.C.) said it on the Sunday talk shows that the Democrats are not

in sync. The Democrats on the committee were putting together reasonable proposals together but couldn’t get it past their membership.”

Guinta co-sponsored a H.J. Resolution 2 — a Balanced Budget Amendment to the U.S. Constitution — but saw it fail to get the necessary twothird support last Friday by one vote.

“Granite Staters sent me to Capitol Hill to get our country’s fiscal house in order,” he said. “A Balanced Budget Amendment is an important tool for doing that, which is why I voted for this bill. Runaway federal spending and our nation’s crushing debt and deficit are stifling job growth. With our national debt now $15 trillion and counting, Congress must live within its means, just like most families and small businesses do.

Unfortunately, this important measure failed today because too many members from the Democratic side of the aisle voted to stick with ‘business as usual.’ Although this vote was not successful, I refuse to give up. I remain committed to the fight to add a Balanced Budget Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.”

Guinta, who was back home with family for the Thanksgiving holiday this week, said one of the highlights of the month for him was the success of a recent jobs fair for Armed Service veterans at Manchester Community College.

“Nearly 300 people showed up for that job fair,” he said. “I was so pleased with how it went. Representatives from more than 40 companies talked with many veterans during the four-hour event.

My office is currently receiving feedback from those employers. So far see next page

Huntsman to hold town hall meeting in Conway Sunday

BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — Former Utah governor Jon Huntsman will be in Conway this Sunday evening for a town hall meeting.

Ranked fourth in the latest New Hampshire Republican Primary Poll, Huntsman has been gaining traction in the Granite State and has held over from preceding page

they report at least two attendees have been hired, at least 15 others have been interviewed, and dozens more interviews are planned soon.

It will be several weeks before the final results of this job fair are known; but clearly, the event produced positive results for Granite Staters.”

This week, Congressman Charlie Bass (R-Peterborough) and Senator Kelly Ayotte (R-Nashua) endorsed former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney for the Republican presidential nomination.

Congreesman Guinta admits he’s being courted, but also is not ready to make an endorsement and said he may not.

“I continue to receive calls from many (of the candidates),” he said.

“I’ve met them all, but I still haven’t made up my mind yet. (Laughing) I’m still like most Granite Staters, I’m still kicking the tires and haven’t chosen one.”

Although not on board with a candidate, Guinta is convinced the nominee will defeat President Obama in the general election next year.

“I think the overall field is very strong,” he said. “I think there’s a lot of diversity. I believe there are several people who could beat President Obama.”

This Thanksgiving, Guinta said he has plenty to be thankful for. “I’m thankful for my family — my wife Morgan, and our children, Jack and Colby,” he said. “I’m thankful to be able to be with my family this Thursday and Friday. I’m thankful for their and my health.

This certainly a time for reflection. I would like to wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving.”

100 events since announcing his candidacy during the summer.

Huntsman, 51, former United States ambassador to China, will be at the Conway American Legion, Post 46, on 47 Tasker Hill Road, in Conway at 7 p.m. on Sunday. He will also drop by The Conway Daily Sun office on Monday morning for an editorial board.

Huntsman is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania. He and his wife Mary Kaye have seven children, including two adopted girls from China and India.

Huntsman, who will be West Lebanon and Claremont on Saturday, has two other planned town hall meetings on Sunday before concluding in Conway. He will be at the Mountain

View Grand at noon in Whitefield, followed by a 3 p.m. town hall in Berlin at the Berlin Senior High School library.

Huntsman, the former ambassador to China, currently trails only former Mass. Gov. Mitt Romney, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich and Texas Congressman Ron Paul in the latest WMUR/UNH Primary Poll.

Saturday, Nov. 19 * Brenda Leavitt, who lost her daughter Miranda to complications from diabetes in 2007, has written a book to help educate others about the disease: "Through Miranda's Eyes: A Dictionary for a Life with Diabetes." * A $65,000 gift from the Kendal C. and Ana Ham Charitable Foundation will secure the purchase of a home for the Mother Seton House, where pregnant mothers and their infants may reside while developing skills and resources for independence. * Intervale's Kate Needham is halfway toward her goal of raising $12,000 to build two additional classrooms at a school in Mali. * A funding bill that became law this week will clear the way for the opening of a newly constructed federal prison in Berin, which has sat empty for months.

Tele-Talk Do you enjoy Christmas shopping, and are you budgeting a certain amount for gifts?

The Thanksgiving dishes are washed and put away, and now it’s time to go shopping. Nationally, holiday retail sales last year were up 5.2 percent from the previous year, and predictions for this year are mixed. A TD Bank Holiday Shopping Poll of 1,807 consumers shows that most people plan to spend as much money this year as last. The average amount that people will be spending on gifts, according to the poll, is $670. Locally, Dot Seybold, general manager of Settlers’ Green, says she’s hoping for a 10 percent increase in holiday spending. And with November promotions by Settlers’ Green, Mount Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce and North Conway Village Association, the shopping season got off to an early start throughout the valley even before the “official” Black Friday kickoff.

This week’s question is: Do you enjoy Christmas shopping, and are you budgeting a certain amount for gifts?

Off the Wall Some of the comments posted on The Conway Daily Sun’s Facebook page this past week: On Wednesday’s snowstorm: “Happy ski season is fast approaching. Ten inches on Birch hill.” — Bethanne Robinson Graustein “It’s beautiful.” — Ben Emery “The snow had made it so that I am not able to get to the town hall and register a vehicle. To top that off, they are closed on Friday. I will be out of town for the rest of the month. This blows.” — Nora Smith Price “I don’t know that I’m ever happy to see the snow, except around Christmas. And yes, I know where I live and I’m not moving, yet I’m still going to bitch.

Driving to work was no picnic, but you can make it if you drive slow. I’m glad we’re not traveling for the holiday, though.” — Jennifer Sias “Miss it.

Stone Mountain Arts Center Coming Up!

NATIONAL PERSPECTIVE

Tricky Weather in New Hamsphire HART'S LOCATION, N.H. — This is a small place, the tiniest town in New Hampshire. A river runs through it — the Saco. It is unadorned; weeks ago the leaves left their branches. It is sleepy in late autumn — no tourists in sight, and only one hiker.

It may be the perfect place to contemplate what is going on in this state, site of the first presidential primary, at this time (six weeks before the balloting).

This is the report from the hillside: The old rhythms are prevailing. The moose have fled to the higher elevations, as they do every winter. The cascade basin on Mount Webster is dry and will remain empty till late spring. The lamb's ears along the paths are a faint green and won't regain their purplish hue till summer. The sky is a gunmetal gray and soon will darken further.

All that change, and still Mitt Romney is the strong favorite in the January primary.

The geologists and meteorologists who study New Hampshire's White Mountains are much like the political scientists who examine the Granite State's politics. They warn that this is a region of peculiarly swift, sometimes even violent, change.

Evidence of rock slides is everywhere along the trails and mountain highways. The signs on the paths leading to the top of nearby Mount Washington warn of dramatic weather changes. Last Sunday morning, for example, the skies were blue, the breezes gentle, the weather warm down in the Mount Washington Valley. Yet here in Crawford Notch on a shoulder of Mount Willey, the winter winds blew down hard, even heartlessly.

So, too, in the political world are great forces at work. This season they have put forward a series of challenges to the position of the former Massachusetts governor. One after another they have come — first former Gov. Tim Pawlenty, the hope of the Upper Midwest; then Rep. Michele Bachmann, with her stunning summer straw-vote performance on the Iowa plains; then Gov. Rick Perry, rushing in on a white horse, his Colt .45 misfiring every time he removed it from his leather holster; then businessman Herman Cain, armed with a tax plan based on the numerology of nine that somehow didn't add up.

Now comes Newt Gingrich, the historian who bent history by ending 40 years of Democratic rule in the House, the master of the past who portrays himself as a futurist, the former House speaker who casts himself as an outsider.

Gingrich may be the pariah of polite society in the capital but he is no outsider, unless you consider consulting contracts with the Chamber of Commerce ($840,000) and Freddie Mac (more than $1.6 million) badges of independence from Washington power centers. Both these groups paid Gingrich handsomely for his advice; in fact, quite a lot of money for quite little advice.

In the 1980s and 1990s Gingrich displayed a remarkable instinct for seeing the weaknesses in men who seemed strong and in institutions that seemed impregnable. He understood what almost no one else did, that the Democratic leadership on Capitol Hill was based on an illusion, which was that the mid-1950s power calculus that made congressional Democrats kings and congressional Republicans vassals would continue forever.

But though Gingrich gave speeches to virtually

every forum hungry to rearrange Washington, his was an inside game — here a nudge at a Democratic potentate, there a vow to overturn an obvious example of Democratic abuse. It was a relentless, remorseless effort, both in the House chamber, where he accused the Democratic leadership of moral corruption, and in the Republican caucus, where he accused his own leaders of moral weakness.

He described the most revered Republican lawmaker of the age, Sen. Robert J. Dole, as the tax collector for the welfare state. He portrayed the most beloved Republican figure of the time, House minority leader Robert Michel, as a feckless tool of the Democrats, even as a clueless fool.

Now Gingrich is running as an outsider and playing an outdoor game. His audience isn't dinnerjacket crowds in banquet halls hired by the National Beer Wholesalers Association or the National Federation of Independent Business, lobby groups with leaders alert enough to understand that Gingrich was onto something in the last years of Democratic rule in the House. His audience is Republican primary voters here in New Hampshire and GOP caucus-goers in Iowa.

Now he is in a statistical four-way tie in Iowa with Cain, Romney and Rep. Ron Paul of Texas -- and in third place in New Hampshire, with 11 percent, behind Romney (who stands at 40 percent, according to the latest Bloomberg News poll), and Paul (17 percent). No one else is close.

It is an uphill battle for Gingrich here, given Romney's strong organization, his strong identification with the state and his familiarity to voters -- he was a neighboring governor from 2003 to 2007 and finished second here in the 2008 presidential primary, less than 6 percentage points behind the winner, Sen. John McCain.

But Gingrich is a shrewd man. Look at his retinue: His new director of operations here came from the staff of Bachmann, a tea party favorite.

His new volunteer coordinator was a coordinator for NH912, a tea party group. The tea party has not mixed a brew here as strong as in other places, but it remains a significant unknown.

This, however, is known: Romney will get almost no support from that quarter. Gingrich, the onetime insider, nonetheless has positioned himself to pick up the tea leaves in this state, particularly if the other tea-sipping candidates continue to fade. And so what if 56 percent of the public, according to the latest Wall Street Journal/ NBC News poll, places the principal blame for the nation's troubles on Republicans in Congress -- arguably the progeny of Gingrich.

Right now the winds are beginning to pick up, the horizon is darkening. Great changes are coming to New Hampshire. It has been Romney's remarkable achievement to weather change thus far, so much so that 45 percent of Republicans now believe he's the most likely Republican nominee, according to the Journal/NBC national poll. But his greatest test is weeks away, and the skies, and maybe Gingrich, maybe someone else, are closing in.

Just state your opinion, forgo name calling To the editor: That most dreaded season is upon us again ... not winter, election season!

Election season when the television and radio ads start cranking out the most outrageous lies their candidates think we can swallow.

When printed material not only supports those lies but the authors need to use the most degrading names and asinine associations possible to press a point of political difference. Never mind that a simple fact check on-line could disprove the hollow assertions or shed light upon, I don’t know what else to call them but, outright lies.

The lying politicians and their slimy handlers know they are just preaching to the choir to further enrage them and poison the waters for the other guy. They know that some people will not bother to fact check the crap they hear and will believe what they are told and what they want to hear to enhance

their forgone conclusions about the other guy or gal.

When can you tell some politicians and their slimy handlers are lying? It’s when you see them open their mouths.

Politicians and their spin doctors are one thing, quite the other thing is when opinion letters can’t address differences of political thought without resorting to using names and language their mothers would have used the soap-in-the-mouth trick to “discourage.”

People ... just tell us your opinion and please forgo the juvenile name calling and quit passing on the lies you hear from the spin (lie) doctors. You really don’t want the fair minded people in the Valley to think you are so narrow minded as to have to resort to the need for the soap-in-the-mouth remedy.

Just please state your opinions and the decisions that led you to make them, and add supporting evidence.

Joe Keller Brownfield, Maine

Not unusual for politicians to ignore facts To the editor: The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) is a no-partisan truth seeking/telling group that some politicians, like Frank Guinta would sure like to see go away. The CBO attributes 3 million jobs to the “stimulus” of which Frank has long been a critic.

It is not unusual these days for some politicians to ignore factual evidence.

But this is not the end of the story. Guinta just cut the ribbon on a new road in Manchester that received millions from Stimulus funding. Guinta said, “It’s a real example of how when we put our mind to it we can accomplish anything we want to accomplish.”

This is the same Frank Guinta who says on his website, “When will Congresswoman Shea-Porter finally agree with the rest of us who believe her failed stimulus was a waste of our money?”

Apparently Frank has no shame. It’s one thing to take credit for something that your predecessor did, but when it is something that you attacked your predecessor for, that’s over the top.

This latest ribbon-cutting ceremony has actually made some national news outlets.

Frank Guinta is an embarrassment to New Hampshire.

Let’s make sure his first term in Congress is his last.

Shoppers occupy village and outlets

BY DAYMOND STEER THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — An Occupy protester and an Occupy critic from Tennessee didn't agree on much during an impromptu debate Friday in Schouler Park. But they did agree on one thing: The snow looked good.

Unlike southern New Hampshire, Conway was bathed in white from a storm on Wednesday.

Frank Bauer, of Tennessee, found himself engaged in conversation with Occupy protester Linda Jenkins. The pair were debating near the Met Coffee House.

"My assumption of the Occupy movement is they are a bunch of lazy druginfested mooches," said Bauer. "That's my perception based on what I think society's perception is."

Jenkins, of Eaton, countered that she's not a homeless mooch. In fact, Jenkins said she's a lawyer and a mediator who has owned her own practice.

"I put myself through law school and I put myself through college," said Jenkins.

But when asked about the snow, the differences were put aside. Bauer said it looked pretty and Jenkins said it's good for the economy.

"It made New Hampshire what we think of New Hampshire: snow country,

snow-laden trees, people with boots and heavy coats on," said Bauer. "It worked in just right."

The Village

Andy and Emma Thoma, of the Washington D.C. came to Mount Washington Valley for a relaxing vacation. On Friday morning they were strolling around the

village while looking out for some Christmas presents.

"It's been an amazing week," said Emma Thoma. "We love the snow."

During their stay, the Thomas did some hiking and snow shoeing. As for Christmas shopping, they enjoy seeing the little unique shops in the village.

Emma Thoma said dried food and mixes products at Zeb's General Store will make good gifts.

Bob and Shea Gray, of Kittery, Maine, were celebrating their 38th wedding anniversary in Conway. On Black Friday, they were heading to the Stairway Cafe for breakfast. The Grays have had a timeshare at Eastern Slope Inn for about 17 years.

They chose the village over the outlets for their shopping.

"The village is a lot more funky," said Shea Gray as her husband pointed to a metal giraffe sculpture near the The Penguin Gallery.

Mark Shaw, of Danvers, Mass., came to Conway for shopping and said he found some excellent deals. The economy hasn't been a factor in his purchasing decisions. Shaw says he likes to buy from local businesses.

Joan Myers, of New Jersey, says it's important to buy from local shops.

end, notes director of ski operations Chris Ellms of Bretton Woods Resort.

“We've got 700 people out there today, with a lot of smiles all around,” said Ellms Friday. “We've got people sliding down the cables of the Canopy Tour; we've got people riding up the chairlift, and we've got five trails. The parking lot is full, so yeah, we're excited.”

As part of its homecoming weekend, Bretton Woods on Saturday hosts its annual brew tasting, complete with live entertainment, and the second annual Winter Expo – a chance to learn about all of the different activities and programs Bretton Woods offers, from those who manage the programs.

Season-pass holders will receive a complimentary ride on the Williwaw Racing Zip. Although temperatures were expected to rise to the 50s Saturday and Sunday, Ellms said he expects the snow base will stick around so skiing can continue west of the notch at Bretton Woods, which opened a day before the storm on Tuesday, following Loon which opened Sunday.

After possible rain Monday, colder

We’ve got people sliding down the cables of the Canopy Tour; we’ve got people riding up the chairlift, and we’ve got five trails.

Attitash marketing director Thomas Prindle said Attitash opted to open on Friday after the area got a foot of snow Wednesday.

It will remain open Saturday, and on Sunday should conditions permit.

early season runs,” said Thomas Prindle, marketing director for Attitash and its sister Peak Resorts ski area, Wildcat Mountain, the latter of which is to open Dec. 9.

Attitash earlier in the season had planned to open Nov. 24, and had then pushed that date back to Dec. 3 due to the warm temperatures earlier in the month and their impact on snowmaking, but opted to open Nov. 25 after Wednesday's foot of snow.

Attitash will have its Nor'Easter Mountain Coaster open through Sunday of Thanksgiving Weekend, 10 a.m to 3:30 p.m., according to Prindle.

Attitash is offering a “Cans or Cash” Tash Rail Session. Donate three canned goods or $3 to local food pantry for that ticket.

Cranmore Mountain Resort will open for topto-bottom skiing and riding Saturday, Nov. 26, and Sunday, Nov. 27, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

“Thanks to Wednesday's snowfall of 12 inches,” notes marketing director Kathy Bennett.

“Cranmore was able to add snowmaking on top of it to open with seven trails and two lifts. The resort is also opening its snow tubing park for the weekend as well.”

Cranmore will operate its Skimobile Express Quad to the summit accessing advanced beginner terrain on Easy Street. It will also run the the South Quad chair servicing advanced beginner terrain.

Cranmore had previously announced that its Mountain Adventure Park — featuring the mountain coaster, giant swing and indoor adventure zone — would open for the weekend as well.

The resort will also be hosting its annual Homecoming Event including a retired trail sign auction.

Cannon has its skiers' homecoming party Nov. 26.

King Pine is scheduled to start its 50th season Dec. 9 (Framed Art Superstore is hosting a meet-the-artist signing party Nov. 26 with Diane Mello to

celebrate the unveiling of its 50th anniversary King Pine poster); Shawnee Peak is shooting for Dec. 10, and Black Mountain Dec. 16.

Good cross-country Cross-country skiers loved the open terrain.

Bear Notch's John Garland said skiers are encouraged to come

to the Bartlett touring center's open house Saturday through Sunday. Free season passes will be processed this weekend only for children up to age 18, he said. “Bring a photo and we can get your pass processed,” said Garland.

“It's a great omen, a good start,” said Garland Friday.

He said many skiers were trying out equipment before buying it.

Rentals were also busy.

High in Pinkham Notch, Great Glen was also is great shape Friday.

“We've got everything open, although it's not all groomed.

We've got 16k tracked and 16k for skate skiing,” said Meghan

Skidmore Friday.

A craft fair is set for Great Glen Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Laurie Spence of Jackson Ski Touring said Jackson Ski Touring was also enjoying the influx of skiers and season pass buyers.

“It's been crazy busy today,” she said.

"I found lots of maple syrup," said Meyers.

Settlers’ Green At Settlers' Green, Pete Klomp, of Silver Lake, was Black Friday shopping for the first time. By late morning, Klomp said he had already found a great deal. He says the bad economy has made him a more careful shopper.

"I wanted to see that it's all about," said Klomp. "It's not black. It's Friday and a beautiful day. The crowds are very tolerable."

Ron LaFlam, of Whitefield, says he comes to North Conway every year. LaFlam said it was quiet at Settlers' Green when he started at 6 a.m. "I'm out today to get the sales and get as much for my daughter as I can," said LaFlam, adding he'll end up doing about the same amount of shopping as he did last year.

Kerrie Ganley, of Salem, says it's become a family tradition to shop with her mother and daughter at Settlers' Green on Black Friday. They all came up Thanksgiving night and started shopping at 11 p.m.

Thursday night and they stayed at the North Conway Grand Hotel.

With the economy the way it is, Ganley said she's watching her budget closely.

"It's all about what are on peoples' lists and making everybody happy for Christmas," said Ganley.

Kevin Willett, of Dracut, Mass., came up to North Conway for Thanksgiving holiday and stayed to do a little Christmas shopping. Willett felt the economy is starting to get better.Willett went shopping late Thursday night and then set out again around 5 a.m. on Friday morning.

"It's fantastic," said Willett. "My little nephew is very excited to get a Paper Jams Instant Rock Star Guitar."

WAKEFIELD — A teenage girl who went missing in early October has been found.

On Oct. 5, Mercedes Adjutant was reported as missing when she did not return home from attending school in Rochester.

On Nov. 23, the Wakefield Police Department received information that Adjutant was possibly at a home in Farmington.

With the assistance from the Farm-

ington Police Department, she was found at the residence and turned over to the Wakefield Police Department.

“We would like to thank the Rochester Police Department, Farmington Police Department for their assistance, and the public for the tips that led to finding Mercedes,” said Wakefield Police Lt. Mark O’Brien.

doesn’t think that a change would be a good thing.

“That at the very onset would be very tedious,” Sheriff Chris Conley said. The county doesn’t provide primary dispatch for those three communities, he said, but they do provide backup services. “We do have a fairly pivitol roll.”

Moultonborough, however, was clear in a letter they sent to the two other towns: “Like you, Moultonborough maintains a virtual 24/7 local dispatch center at the expense of our local property taxpayers,” they said in a letter that went to the Conway and Wolfeboro selectmen. “This town also pays 22.6 percent of the roughly $750,000 budget for the county dispatch center.”

The rest of Carroll County gets subsidized dispatching, the letter argues, because Conway, Wolfeboro and Mounltonborough pay the bulk of the costs. “For Wolfeborough it means that your taxpayers are paying an additional $58,500, while Conway

taxpayers pay an additional $43,000 above and beyond what they pay to support their local dispatch center. This added payment to the county simply subsidizes dispatching services for others.”

Sheriff Conley did not contest those numbers.

The letter goes on to say that while many Carroll County communities keep their local real estate taxes low by offering limited local services, the three communities that contribute the most don’t wind up using county services because they have their own. “Collectively, Moultonborough, Wolfeboro and Conway pay almost 50 percent of that real estate tax. We believe that there is an inherent unfairness in charging our communities a larger county tax than otherwise needed in order to provide a lower local tax rate to others.”

The letter, which also went to the sheriff, the county commissioners and the delegation, advocated for change: “We believe it is time for Carroll County to revisit how it funds the emergency dispatch services that it provides to these other entities who do

not maintain their own dispatch centers at local taxpayer expense,” it said. The county needs to shift to a fee for service model, like Grafton, Hillsborough, Merrimack and Strafford counties. “We believe it is time to relieve our local property taxpayers of the burden of fully subsidizing other communities’ use of the county’s dispatch services.”

Sheriff Conley said he disagrees, that he has heard more about how counties that fund dispatch through fee for service are looking to get rid of that model.

What makes the most sense, he said, is a statewide system that is split up by county. But that isn’t likely to happen, he said. “It takes people out of their comfort zone.”

The delegation didn’t discuss the letter at their meeting earlier this month, nor did the Conway selectmen, who also got it this month.

There was, however, at least some interest in the proposal among the Conway board.

“I can already tell you I’d like it on the agenda,” selectman Michael DiGregorio said.

POLL from page 60

tum saw him leapfrog five other candidates in the race.

In terms of favorability ratings, currently 67 percent have a favorable opinion of Romney, 22 percent have an unfavorable rating of him while 10 percent are neutral.

Gingrich is now the second most popular Republican with a net favorability rating of plus 13 percent followed by Huntsman, plus nine percent, and Paul, plus six percent.

The least popular Republicans are Perry, minus 34 percent; Bachmann, minus 25 percent; Cain, minus 22 percent; Johnson, minus 20 percent; Roemer, minus 20 percent; Karger, minus 12 percent; and Santorum, minus seven percent. Cain has seen the sharpest drop in his favorability ratings, from plus 30 in October to minus 22 percent in November, while Gingrich improved from minus 13 to plus 13 percent over the past month.

When asked which candidate they would not support under any circumstances, 17 percent of likely Republican primary voters say they would not vote for Cain, followed

by Bachmann, 16 percent; Perry, 11 percent; Paul, 10 percent; Gingrich, 8 percent; and Romney, 8 percent. Only 3 percent say they would not vote for Huntsman and 2 percent would not vote for Johnson.

When asked which candidate has the best chance of defeating President Obama in November, 57 percent of likely Republican Primary voters name

Romney, followed by Gingrich, 10 percent; Cain, 4 percent; Huntsman, 3 percent; and Paul, 3 percent.

Likely Republican voters were asked several questions about the characteristics of the Republican candidates. Romney is seen as the strongest leader, named by 44 percent of likely Republican primary voters, followed by Gingrich, 25 percent; and Paul, 6 percent.

Romney is also seen as the most believable (45 percent) and the most likable (35 percent). However, when asked which candidate is seen as most willing to take an unpopular position on an issue if they think it is the right position, Paul is named by 29 percent, followed by Gingrich (21 percent) and Romney (12 percent).

Likely Republican voters were also asked a number of questions about some specific issues involving some of the Republican candidates. When asked if Romney’s Mormonism would make them more likely to vote for or against him, the vast majority (90 percent) said it would make no difference in their vote, 2 percent said they were more likely to vote for him, and 8 percent were more likely to vote against him.

Perry’s recent debate stumbles have done significant damage to his campaign. When asked how his poor debate performances impact their vote, 45 percent of likely Republican voters said they were more likely to vote against him, 1 percent were more likely to vote for him, 52 percent say it makes no difference, and 2 percent don’t know.

The recent sexual harassment against Herman Cain has had a similar effect on his support. When asked if the allegations of sexual harassment against Cain when he was head of the National Restaurant Association in the 1990’s would impact their vote, 45 percent of likely Republican voters said they were more likely to vote against him, 1 percent were more likely to vote for him, 53 percent say it makes no difference, and 1 percent don’t know.

In the race for the White House, the poll states that Romney is the lone GOP candidate most likely to defeat President Obama. “In a hypothetical race between Obama and Mitt Romney,” the poll states, “the current GOP favorite in New Hampshire, Romney holds a slim lead with 47 percent to 44 percent for Obama, 3 percent for some other candidate, and 7 percent are undecided. Romney’s lead over Obama narrowed slightly since October. Romney holds a narrow 40 to 38 percent lead among political independents, much closer than his 48 to 30 percent in October.”

“Obama does better against former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich,” the poll continues. “In this matchup, Obama holds a strong 52 to 40 percent lead with 2 percent favoring some other candidate and 6 percent undecided. Obama gets the support of 50 percent of political independents against 30 percent for Gingrich. And when Obama is matched against Texas Governor Rick Perry, Obama holds a 54 to 35 percent lead.

North Country Fair Jewelers After four year at college, in the summer of 1969, North Country Fair Jewelers opened for business. They were open for one week before closing to head to Woodstock.

The summit of Turtleback Mountain, with hexagonal cracks in the ledge caused by columnar jointing, and Mount Shaw in the background. (ED PARSONS PHOTO) PARSONS from page 23

My plan was to hike up to Bald Knob, a rocky knob and panoramic lookout, then bushwhack up the rocky oak ridge above it for about three quarters of a mile to the summit of Turtleback Mountain.

An interesting surprise awaited me on top of Bald Knob.

But back along the scenic and interesting Bald Knob Cut-off, I passed a ledgey area of rhyolite with a sign on a tree explaining columnar jointing, a process in the cooling of magma that creates hexagonal columns. A few broken six sided columns littered the ground behind the sign, and further back the jumble of ledge had numerous signs of columnar jointing.

Certainly not as spectacular as more famous examples of columnar jointing around the country, such as Devil’s Tower in Wyoming or Devil’s Post Pile in California, this spot is still very striking.

At this point, I was actually on the lower slopes of Turtleback Mountain.

Further up on the smooth rounded summit ledge of Turtleback, you stand on the flat surface of magma that cooled. Six sided cracks are visible beneath your feet. These look like the scales on a turtle shell, hence the mountain’s name.

According to Bob Newton, columnar jointing is formed by quick cooling. This cooling of magma from the outside in causes shrinkage cracks to form, commonly in a six sided pattern.

He compared it to cracks in drying mud.

However, the smooth ledge on Turtleback’s summit was not part of the uniform surface of an old volcano as one might think. Bob Newton said

E N TE R TA IN M E N T S aturday - E ric E rskine & C liffW ilson 6:0 0 -9:30 pm S unday - C huck O ’C onnor 5:30 -8:30 pm

that the Ossipee volcano collapsed inward. “Inside the ring dike,” he said “everything dropped down. Broken blocks rotated down as the fell.” Later, the broken pieces of this collapse were uncovered by erosion.

Now, 150 million years later, we find peace and beauty perched in the middle of the ancient cataclysm.

One purpose of my hike was to go to the top of Turtleback to see these hexagonal patterns in the ledge. From the Bald Knob Cut-off, I reached an old carriage road which brought me to the bare summit of Bald Knob in a third of a mile. The view over Lake Winnipesaukee was great that day, and I lingered for a snack. When I turned to look up at the ridge that I planned to bushwhack, I happened to see a new nearby trail sign. To my surprise, it said Turtleback Mountain, half a mile. The sign pointed towards the ridge above.

It isn’t everyday you bump into a new trail in the direction you’re planning to bushwhack. I started up the trail, marked with red and white markers. Frequently it followed a deep rut which was obviously an old herd path. Many had gone this way before, even though there wasn’t a trail.

The next day I called Larry DeGeorge, 72, of Tuftonboro. He is the volunteer Property Adopter for the Castle in the Clouds Conservation Land. On just one sunny day — this past labor day — he and a small crew of volunteers built the new half mile trail from Bald Knob to the carriage road spur just below the summit of Turtleback Mountain’s summit. Following the old herd path, they placed signs and trail markers, cut brush, moved rocks and whatever else was see next page

disease. Winterberry was long a popular remedy, ordinarily employed as a decoction in intermittent fevers, dropsy, jaundice, and even gangrene, in the last of which it had "great efficacy."

“The Black Alder...is another of the growing list of plants handed down to us by the aborigines, who used the bark internally and externally as a tonic, astringent, and antiseptic, and is probably as well known to domestic practice as any indigenous shrub.

The berries are purgative and vermifuge, forming one of the pleasantest adjuvants in children's remedies, for the expulsion of lumbrici [worms].” So says a man named Millspaugh in 1892. ”A strong decoction of the Black Alder bark is an excellent application to foul and gangrenous ulcers, and when thickened with a little powdered elm bark, is a good poultice in such cases...The dose of the decoction...is about a wineglassful three or four times a day." States Mr. Gunn in 1859-61.

These uses give Ilex Verticillata several common names other than winterberry: Fever bush, striped alder, and white alder, coralberry, or Michigan holly.

Then there is false alder, inkberry (which is another plant altogether), and black alder. And try: deciduous winterberry, Virginian winterberry, brook alder, deciduous holly, and perhaps possum haw, or swamp holly.

And once you visit various native plant nurseries of today, obtaining cultivars of this desirable plant, you will come across slightly differently shaped leaves as the species gets “improved. Those I planted from the state nursery a few years back are producing numerous berries this year! A migrating thrush ate the first ones last fall.

necessary. Their one day’s work opened up a variety of new loop options for hikers wanting to visit the spectacular summits of Bald Knob and Turtleback.

Back on my hike, I quickly climbed the rocky oak ridge, reached the carriage road below the top of Turtleback and climbed up to the bare summit. Mount Shaw (2,990), the highest peak in the Ossipee Range, loomed large across a deep ravine. In the foreground of the same view, beneath my feet, dark hexagonal cracks covered the gray rock.

The afternoon was aging, and though it was mild and beautiful up there, I decided to head down.

Instead of returning the way I had come, I decided to bushwhack down towards the switchbacks of the Turtleback Mountain Trail. Later,walking down through pleasant open woods, I crossed the carriage road many times, but persisted in a direct descent rather than the long switchbacks of the road.

Quickly I was at the bottom, and walked across the grass of Ossipee Park to my car.

Old Man of the Mountain program at Effingham Public Library Dec. 2 EFFINGHAM — The Effingham Public Library located at 30 Town House Road will host the program, “The Old Man of the Mountain: Substance and Symbol,” presented by Maggie Stier on Friday, Dec. 2, at 12:30 p.m. For generations, the Old Man has exerted its influence on the psyche and self-image of New Hampshire residents.

The story of the Old Man of the Mountains is a story of New Hampshire itself, reflecting our history, arts, literature, geography, philosophy, and even public policy. As the multifaceted story of this icon unfolds, the audience will be challenged to think about the different and evolving ways that this image has touched the public imagination over its 200 year history. The presentation by Maggie Stier will include images of paintings, literary passages, souvenirs, and film clips of interviews with those closest to the Old Man, and conclude with a discussion of current efforts to memorialize the state symbol.

Stier is currently the statewide field representative for the New Hampshire Preservation Alliance.

Before doing historic preservation work, she was in the museum field, most recently as executive direc-

tor of The Fells historic estate and gardens on Lake Sunapee. She is the author of Into the Mountains: Stories of New England’s Most Celebrated Peaks with Ron McAdow, has taught at Colby-Sawyer College and Plymouth State University, and holds degrees from Vassar College, Boston University and Antioch New England. Since 2008 she has served on the NH State Parks Advisory Council, and has been affiliated with the Old Man of the Mountain Legacy Fund since 2006.

The Old Man of the Mountains program is funded by the New Hampshire Humanities Council through a Humanities to Go grant. The New Hampshire Humanities Council nurtures the joy of learning and inspires community engagement by bringing life-enhancing ideas from the humanities to the people of New Hampshire.

They connect people with ideas.

Learn more about the Council and its work at www.nhhc.org.

For directions and more information call 539-1537. This program is open to the public and is free of charge. Feel free to bring your lunch.

Coffee, tea and desert will be provided. The Library is handicapped accessible.

DILBERT

By Holiday Mathis that will stir your soul and nourish your imagination.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Though a big project is now satisfactorily “in the can,” you still have a great deal ahead of you that needs tending.

You’ll gather up your forces and look to the future.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Because you are so honest with yourself, you’ll see through the facade that people try to present and into the way they actually are. You’ll note the frailty all around and turn your tender attention where it’s needed most.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

When you are specific and unambiguous, you will get the results you seek.

Also, make it easy for others to help you. A simple question will get a simple answer. A compound question will get no answer.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Much is going unsaid that could complicate matters. Identify and verbalize what you need to get out of a transaction to make you consider it a success.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There will be a bit of a mystery to solve, and it will come together like a puzzle, one piece at a time. Your persistence and a willingness to experiment will be key to resolving this one.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 26).

What has been trying in the past will now be much easier for you to accomplish. Next month, you’ll be shown favor by those who are difficult to impress.

January brings important financial transactions. You’ll shift your business strategy in February. Lifestyle upgrades come in May. Gemini and Virgo people contribute generously to your life. Your lucky numbers are: 20, 1, 4, 44 and 18.

Get Fuzzy

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You will maintain your solid stance at the calm center of a swirl of activity. You’ll love the show. It’s like there’s a parade going by just for your entertainment.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Messages get mixed up, but that doesn’t have to stop you. A surge of creativity will help you do what traditional methods of communication will fail to accomplish.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You are sincerely invigorated by the presence of others. Be bold enough to show just how thrilled you are to interact with people, and they’ll be charmed by your enthusiasm. You will make them feel important.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You are receptive to trying new things, though you want to know that the risk will be worthwhile. You’ll take steps to avoid feeling “ripped off,” such as investigating further, reading testimonials and looking out for bad reviews.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There are family members you would love to connect with more often, but life and distance stand between you. Bridging the gap is a matter of planning. Set aside some time to sort out the details of your next visit.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You want a person to possess certain qualities so badly that you may see these qualities regardless of whether they really exist. There’s a chance the individual in question will grow into the role you’ve cast.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). In spite of Mercury’s retrograde, you have “mad-skills” in the conversation department, and you’re determined to use them. You’ll engage in the kind of talks

THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Saturday, November 26, 2011— Page 37

Today is Saturday, Nov. 26, the 330th day of 2011. There are 35 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Nov. 26, 1941, U.S. Secretary of State Cordell Hull delivered a note to Japan’s ambassador to the United States, Kichisaburo Nomura, proposing an agreement for “lasting and extensive peace throughout the Pacific area.” The same day, a Japanese naval task force consisting of six aircraft carriers left the Kuril Islands, headed toward Hawaii.

On this date: In 1789, this was a day of thanksgiving set aside by President George Washington to observe the adoption of the Constitution of the United States.

In 1842, the founders of the University of Notre Dame arrived at the school’s presentday site near South Bend, Ind. In 1910, two dozen young women were killed when fire broke out at a muslin factory in Newark, N.J. In 1933, a judge in New York decided the James Joyce book “Ulysses” was not obscene and could be published in the United States.

In 1943, during World War II, the HMT Rohna, a British transport ship carrying American soldiers, was hit by a German missile off Algeria; 1,138 men were killed.

In 1965, France launched its first satellite, sending a 92-pound capsule into orbit.

In 1986, President Ronald Reagan appointed a commission headed by former Senator John Tower to investigate his National Security Council staff in the wake of the Iran-Contra affair.

One year ago: Nineteen-year-old Somaliborn Mohamed Osman Mohamud was arrested by federal agents during a sting in Portland, Ore., accused of planning to detonate van of explosives during Christmas tree lighting ceremony. President Barack Obama received 12 stitches in his upper lip after taking an errant elbow during a pickup basketball game with family and friends visiting for the Thanksgiving holiday.

Today’s Birthdays: Actress Ellen Albertini Dow is 98. Impressionist Rich Little is 73. Singer Tina Turner is 72. Singer Jean Terrell is 67. Pop musician John McVie is 66. Actress Marianne Muellerleile is 63.

YOUNG TEEN FEARFUL OF FUTURE HAS LOTS OF TIME ON HER SIDE

DEAR ABBY: I’m 14 and I’m terrified that I won’t know what to do once I’m in college and have to decide on a longterm job. I have a lot of interests, but none that would lead me toward a career. My teachers and the books I read say I should find my passion and follow it for the rest of my life. My problem is, I don’t have a stand-out passion I love intensely.

I have an amazing family who would support me in any direction I choose, but I don’t know what that would be. I get good grades and work hard, and I believe I could achieve anything I choose. The problem is, I don’t know what I want to do. I know I’m young, but I worry all the time about my future and being stuck in a job I hate. I’m involved in lots of activities -- student government, piano lessons, sports, service clubs and more -- and I enjoy all of them. But none of them inspire a burning passion. Do you have any suggestions on how to find my passion? -- NEEDS A DIRECTION, ATLANTA DEAR NEEDS A DIRECTION: Yes. And the first one is to relax and quit worrying about not having found your “passion” at 14. This isn’t the Middle Ages, when young people would apprentice themselves to a guild in which they would spend the rest of their lives. You are intelligent and only beginning to explore your various talents. You may excel in several different areas, which is good, because workers no longer necessarily stay in one kind of job for a lifetime. People are usually good at the things they enjoy, so slow down. Give yourself time to see where you excel. I am positive that if you do, you’ll find your passion(s) in a field you enjoy.

DEAR ABBY: I have been with my husband for more than 10 years. It has been rocky over the past few years, and I recently had an affair with a married man. I have fallen madly in love with him, and every night I dream about being with

him instead of with my husband. We’re both in unhappy marriages and both have children.

He’s worried that if he gets divorced he won’t be able to see his kids as often as he wants. Should I forget him and try to fall back in love with my husband?

Everyone I talk to about this says my lover has been what I needed to recognize that I wasn’t happy in my marriage and that I deserve better. I know I deserve better because I worshipped the ground my husband walked on for many years and got treated like crud. What do I do? -- DOWNTRODDEN WIFE IN OKLAHOMA. DEAR DOWNTRODDEN: Since you’re collecting advice, I don’t mind throwing in my two-cents’ worth. Your lover doesn’t appear eager to leave his family, so do the best thing for both of you and end the affair. As to whether you should try to fall back in love with a man who “treated you like crud,” sometimes divorce can be therapeutic. And from the description you gave me of your marriage, you could benefit from seeking one and swearing off men for a while.

DEAR ABBY: Four years ago my best friend’s mother lost her husband after a battle with cancer. She joined a grief support group and met a man who had lost his wife to cancer, too. Love blossomed and they will be married soon. Everyone is thrilled they have found each other.

Along with a wedding gift, would it be appropriate to make a donation to a cancer charity in memory of their deceased spouses? I would like to honor the struggle that led the couple to each other, but don’t want to offend. What do you think? -- DEVOTED FRIEND IN KENTUCKY DEAR DEVOTED FRIEND: I think you have come up with a beautiful idea that will be deeply appreciated, and you should do it.

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

love of animals, building stone walls, Civil War history and miniature ship building. His favorite activity by far was caring for four beautiful draft horses for neighbors, Tim and Laura. He and his family have been blessed to live in the community of Brownfield and our caring friends and neighbors. Chuck's care for others is evident through his lifelong commitment to being a steadfast husband, brother, friend, father, son and craftsman that could be depended on no matter the challenge. His love for family and guidance in this life, as with is works, will surround shelter and comfort us for many generations to come.

In lieu of flowers memorial contributions may be made to Androscoggin Home Care and Hospice, 127 Pottle Road, Oxford, ME, 04270. Arrangements are made with Wood Funeral Home, Fryeburg. Online condolences may be expressed to the family at www.woodfuneralhome.org.

Charles K. Drape passed away peacefully in his Brownfield, Maine home during a snowstorm on Nov. 23, 2011 with his wife and daughter at his side. Chuck leaves behind his loving wife, Linda of 45 years, his daughter Paige and son Ned and his wife Jonelle and grandchildren, Jordan and Jonny and his mother in law, Lillian Stata.

He is survived by his sister, Ursula Taintor; brother, Bill and his wife, Judy; nieces, Amy, Barbara and Jennifer, and nephew, Jon, and their beautiful families.

Chuck worked as a builder of custom homes on Cape Cod for 35 years before retiring to Brownfield in 2005. He renovated a log cabin and built a post and beam barn for the extended family to enjoy. Chuck's lifelong work in home construction leaves a legacy of finely crafted homes, additions, barns and stone walls that shelter friends, family and neighbors from Rhode Island to Maine.

Chuck had many passions in life —

on at the March 2012 Meeting. The first proposed ordinance change is regarding the use and storage of recreational vehicles. The impact of this change will support the safety and health concerns of our Town. The second ordinance amendment refers to home businesses and home occupation. The purpose of this ordinance is to protect the rural character of the neighborhood and to encourage the development of home business and home occupation. There is a third ordinance amendment proposed by the NH Office of Energy and Planning, which needs to be adopted by Albany to remain compliant and to be eligible to participate in the National Flood Insurance Program.

Wednesday brought just what the weathermen said; a big storm. What a Thanksgiving gift. What could the weatherman have in store for us for Christmas? For those who had to go out, it was a challenge.

Gibson Gleanings

Buy a memory light for the memorial Christmas tree During this season of remembrance, of beginnings and endings, and the play of darkness and light, we, at Gibson, fondly remember some longtime members of our Gibson family who have passed on, having contributed so much to make the Center a shining light in this community.

Jane Ross and Peggy Palmer worked for over 10 years in different capacities, to serve the seniors.

Jane was at the helm of finances, having been trained by the exacting and endearing Ernie Brown, one of the original Board members. She was very competent, patient and kind, and deeply passionate about the Gibson Center’s mission and its future. She was able to see far beyond each day’s challenges and imagine a bigger and brighter future.

Peggy was our quiet, steady, and sweet, behind- the- scenes lady who was able to rise above the monotony of the endless dishes and see the uniqueness of each individual she served.

Larry Paquette was the rock and support of our weekly bingo games, when our financial struggles made it imperative that this project succeed.

With his ubiquitous pipe and accounting sheets, he was the counterpart of Glenna Mori in keeping this fundraising project afloat.

We thank them for the memories and for shedding their light upon on our lives and our center.

Perhaps you are savoring some spe-

cial memories and pondering the passage of time, wondering how you can honor the memories of those dear to your heart. Consider a memory light on our Gibson Memorial Christmas Tree, burning brightly from Dec. 1 to Jan. 15. A perpetual red bulb, relit each year, is $50 and a one year white bulb is $10.

160 students, over 20 volunteers participated in the Volunteer Biological Assessment Program This year, 160 students and over 20 volunteers participated in the Volunteer Biological Assessment Program.

This is the sixth year of the program coordinated by the Green Mountain Conservation Group.

As part of Green Mountain Conservation Group’s water quality program, five sites in the Ossipee Watershed were assessed for their macroinvertebrate communities and included the Cold River in Sandwich, Beech River in Ossipee, Bear Camp River in Tamworth, Swift River in Tamworth, Cold Brook in Freedom and South River on the Effingham/Parsonsfield, Maine border. Macroinvertebrates are organisms that lack a backbone yet are visible to the naked eye. Volunteers, including students, collected, sorted and identified these aquatic creatures to get a sense of water quality conditions since some of these critters are sensitive to pollution while others are more tolerant.

Local students from Ossipee Central School, Freedom and Effingham Elementary and Sandwich Central School were “citizen scientists” for the day as they volunteered their time on

the rivers in September and collected macroinvertebrates. This year, Ossipee Central School sixth graders and Sandwich Central School fourth, fifth and sixth graders will give a presentation about their sampling results on Dec. 1 at the Remick Country Doctor Museum in Tamworth from 6 to 8 p.m. The presentation is free and open to the public.

Refreshments will also be served.

Green Mountain Conservation Group’s newly hired AmeriCorp Volunteer, Stephanie Doyle will also be on hand to talk about the Youth Coalition and meet new friends in the Watershed. Green Mountain Conservation Group would like to thank all the students who participated in the event this year, the schools for their enthusiasm and support and the many volunteers who helped collect and sort the samples. Special thanks to our funders, the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation, the Roy Foundation and the Little Family Foundation.

For more information about the program, or if you are interested in participating in the program next year, visit www.gmcg.org or contact us at 539-1859.

REAL ESTATE CORNER

HOME OF THE WEEK

Holiday spirit comes from within

BY JASON ROBIE Alfred and Eleanor Wilcox were two of my favorite people on Earth. When I was first born, our family lived with them in New York for those first years of my life. They introduced me to the concept of “home."

As I grew up, and our family relocated all over New England, we always found a way to get back to Alfred and Eleanor’s house for the holidays. “Nana” and “Bampa” were their “real” names for all four of us grandkids. The smell of Nana’s cooking and Bampa’s everpresent smile were always a highlight for our visits. Of course, actually finding Bampa sitting down in one place long enough to see the smile was always a challenge. As I look back now it is obvious that lots of care, love, time and hard work went into creating that atmosphere that we looked forward to and appreciated so much.

Shortly after their passing, a strange and unsettling change took place in my life. I no longer looked forward to the holidays and frankly, became a bit of a scrooge regarding the whole season. I’ll admit that a part of my annoyance with the holidays was (and is) the unstoppable wave of commercialism that pervades the whole four to six weeks. The simple fact that nearly all of the focus over the past week has been about “Black Friday” instead of “Thanksgiving” is a testament to the twisted values much of our society has accepted as the norm.

But even apart from that, a special sentiment and “feeling” about the holidays was gone for me. The simple truth was that I had associated those members of the family so tightly with the season that when they were gone, so too was my holiday spirit.

It has taken me many years to rekindle my joy and appreciation for this time of year.

Having built my own home, I have found true joy in creating a holiday “scene” that brings a smile to my face whenever I pull in the driveway at night. I’ll admit, I’m no Clark Griswold, but it is a step in the right direction.

The feeling of adding lights and a Christmas tree and the smell of holiday candles is simply incomparable to anything else.

We have heard for years that this season is about “others." The season is about giving thanks and giving tokens of our love and appreciation to others. And although my home is not the brightest “bulb” in town, I know that there are some who will drive by with a smile and it will add a small piece to their holiday enjoyment.

Adding lights to your home, lighting a menorah or a kinara or even going “all in” and including a Santa with reindeer up on your roof are all steps people take to share their spirit of the holidays. It is obvious these items are intended for “others” because most of these ornaments or decorations cannot be seen from inside the house. This, I have finally learned, is the true spirit of the holidays.

As a kid, most of us are conditioned to believe that the holidays, and especially Christmas, are about us! It is no secret that the marketsee ROBIE page 53

Quality home in low-tax Albany Today’s Home of the Week is a cape-style home with attached two-car garage.

ALBANY — It’s hard to beat the value of this quality cape-style home in lowtax Albany.

An alluring stone wall frames this home’s striking features and curb appeal. A lush, green lawn provides wide open space with just the right amount of landscaping surrounding the home.

A two-car garage has a finished look above, with plenty of room for storage.

Attached to the home with a classic breezeway, it’s a great way to get right to your car, avoiding rain, snow and inclement weather.

Step in to the main part of the house onto gleaming hardwood floors with a comfortable open floor plan. An efficient soapstone woodstove provides a centerpiece to the entire area, and evenly distributed heat. Modern kitchen, a bright dining area with plenty of natural light, and a cozy living room will delight your family and guests. A large, step-off deck in the fenced backyard makes a fantastic setting for barbecues and summer relaxation.

The master bedroom is 20-by-21 feet — perfect for a full complement of furniture with room for a sitting area. Two more generous bedrooms and a large office provide ample space for comfort and privacy.

Location is key. Just minutes from North Conway, you’ll have easy access to shopping, entertainment, the mountains and the lakes. But, you’ll also have the low taxes of Albany that can remove thousands of dollars in yearly costs — hidden value that so many miss out on.

Lindsey Maihos of Coldwell Banker Wright Realty in Conway is the listing agent for the home, which is priced at $268,500. She can be reached at (603) 447-2117 Ext. 312 or lindsey@househunternh.com.

The home has gleaming hardwood floors and an open floor plan.

ROBIE from page 52

ing machine has been programming us to “shop ‘till we drop” and pulling no punches in their depiction of the true happiness derived from getting that year’s “Tickle me Elmo." I’m confident that many people transitioning towards adulthood are forced to go through this same transition as I did and finally get their holiday focus flipped around toward others.

I know most of you reading this today can easily flash back to a handful of experiences in which the gift or gesture you gave to someone was the highlight of their season. And, as selfish as it sounds, there is no greater feeling for the “giver” than that excitement and appreciation you were able to create. I have an idea that is how parents must feel when their kids explode with excitement over a specific toy or gift they were able to give. (Even if they do end up playing with the box it came in!) I’m only slightly embarrassed to admit that for me, it was a Spock helmet that lit up and made some noises. According to mom, I wore it for about 10 minutes and then moved on. (Sorry about that one!)

Once we realize the holidays are not about us, we start to see how easy it is to get in the spirit. Once I accepted that Nana and Bampa were not the reason I loved the holidays, I could finally create and share my own holiday spirit. As is true with the overall theme of the holidays, once you start to share that spirit and excitement, it becomes

contagious. Once we realize that the people around us are the reason for the season, we start to understand that we create our own holiday spirit. This sentiment is true regardless of where you live.

I adorned my drafty and tattered 300-square-foot cabin with Christmas lights and candles every year I lived there. Driving in the driveway with the lights going always gave me a little lift regardless of the home.

We can all take small steps, some outlined last week, to make our homes shine with that holiday spirit and bring a small piece of joy not only to ourselves, but also to those passing by.

I am blessed with a loving family, some fantastic friends, a warm house and a friendly cat. I can look around on a daily basis and find something to be thankful for and someone to appreciate. The hustle and bustle can try to get in the way. Bills, work, stress and “life” can also throw up walls and attempt to steal your holiday spirit.

My plea and encouragement for you today and for the next few weeks is to focus on others. Focus on sharing your good fortune and holiday joy with someone else. And learn from my stubbornness that your holiday spirit won’t come from other people; it is going to be a conscious effort on your part. I promise the payoff will be worth it!

October existing-home sales rise, unsold inventory continues to decline nationally WASHINGTON — Existing-home sales improved in October while the number of homes on the market continued to decline, according to the National Association of Realtors.

Total existing-home sales, which are completed transactions that include single-family, townhomes, condominiums and co-ops, rose 1.4 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.97 million in October from a downwardly revised 4.90 million in September, and are 13.5 percent above the 4.38 million unit level in October 2010.

force some of the most creditworthy consumers to pay unnecessarily higher interest rates,” Yun said.

According to Freddie Mac, the national average commitment rate for a 30-year, conventional, fixed-rate mortgage fell to a record low 4.07 percent in October from 4.11 percent in September; the rate was 4.23 percent in October 2010.

National Association of Realtors’ president Moe Veissi, broker-owner of Veissi & Associates Inc., in Miami, said consumers can increase their odds of obtaining a mortgage by being aware of how credit scores are determined. “If you want to get a mortgage, don’t buy a car or take on new installment debt or credit cards,” he said.

“Pay all your bills on time, maintain old credit lines and don’t use more than 30 percent of your credit limit. Realtors® can help you understand the issues surrounding access to affordable credit, in addition to helping you find the right home and negotiate terms,” Veissi said.

Realtors’ chief economist, said the market has been fairly steady but at a lower than desired level. “Home sales have been stuck in a narrow range despite several improving factors that generally lead to higher home sales such as job creation, rising rents and high affordability conditions. Many people who are attempting to buy homes are thwarted in the process,” he said.

“A higher rate of contract failures has held back a sales recovery. Contract failures reported by NAR members jumped to 33 percent in October from 18 percent in September, and were only 8 percent a year ago, so we should be seeing stronger sales,” Yun added.

Contract failures are cancellations caused by declined mortgage applications, failures in loan underwriting from appraised values coming in below the negotiated price, or other problems including home inspections and employment losses. “Other recent factors include disruption in the National Flood Insurance Program, and lower loan limits for conventional mortgages, which paradoxically

in the number of homes on the market. Total housing inventory at the end of October fell 2.2 percent to 3.33 million existing homes available for sale, which represents an 8.0-month supply at the current sales pace, down from an 8.3-month supply in September. Inventories have been trending gradually down since setting a record of 4.58 million in July 2008.

The national median existing-home price4 for all housing types was $162,500 in October, which is 4.7 percent below October 2010.

Distressed homes – foreclosures and short sales typically sold at deep discounts – slipped to 28 percent of sales in October from 30 percent in September (17 percent were foreclosures and 11 percent were short sales); they were 34 percent in October 2010.

“In some areas we’re hearing about shortages of foreclosure inventory in the lower price ranges with multiple bidding on the more desirable properties,” Yun said. “Realtors in such areas are calling for a faster process of getting foreclosure inventory into the market because they have ready buyers.

In addition, extending credit to responsible investors would help to

absorb inventory at an even faster pace, which would go a long way toward restoring market balance.”

All-cash sales accounted for 29 percent of purchases in October, little changed from 30 percent in September and 29 percent in October 2010; investors make up the bulk of cash transactions.

Investors purchased 18 percent of homes in October, compared with 19 percent in September and 19 percent in October 2010. First-time buyers accounted for 34 percent of transactions in October, up from 32 percent in September; they were 32 percent in October 2010.

Single-family home sales increased 1.6 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.38 million in October from 4.31 million in September, and are 13.8 percent higher than the 3.85 million-unit pace one year ago. The median existing single-family home price was $161,600 in October, which is 5.8 percent below October 2010.

Existing condominium and co-op sales were unchanged at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 590,000 in October but are 10.5 percent above the 534,000-unit level in October 2010. The median existing condo price was $160,300 in

October, down 1.5 percent from a year ago.

Regionally, existinghome sales in the Northeast fell 5.1 percent to an annual level of 750,000 in October but are 1.4 percent above October 2010. The median price in the Northeast was $224,400, down 5.5 percent from a year ago.

Existing-home sales in the Midwest rose 2.8 percent in October to a pace of 1.10 million and are 19.6 percent higher than October 2010. The median price in the Midwest was $132,800, which is 4.7 percent below a year ago.

In the South, existinghome sales increased 2.1 percent to an annual level of 1.94 million in October and are 14.1 percent above a year ago. The median price in the South was $145,700, down 1.6 percent from October 2010.

Existing-home sales in the West rose 4.4 percent to an annual pace of 1.19 million in October and are 15.5 percent higher than October 2010.

Builders, former NFL players team up to brighten home DECATUR, Ga. — A Decatur family struggling in the down economy will get to celebrate the holidays in a newly refreshed home thanks to a group of former professional football players and members of the local home building community.

On Nov. 18, members of the Atlanta NFL Players Association former players chapter, HomeAid Atlanta and the Greater Atlanta Home Builders Association teamed up for a HomeAid Care Day to repair and rejuvenate a home for Decatur Cooperative Ministry’s Family House transitional program, which helps homeless Decatur and DeKalb families get back on their feet and rebuild their lives.

“Every family deserves to have a safe, comfortable home to celebrate

the holidays in, whether it is a temporary sanctuary or a permanent home to call their own,” said Dextor Clinkscale, vice president of the Atlanta NFLPA former players’ chapter. “We are so thankful for this opportunity to give back to the community that gave us so much support during our playing careers.”

Former Atlanta Falcons Dewey McClain (1976-80) William Andrews (1979-86) and Major Everett (1987) joined Clinkscale (Dallas Cowboys, 1980-86) and former NFL players Ken Woodard, Ken Parker, Fred Banks, Bob Pickens, LaMar Campbell, Jim Nemeth and Kendall Newson to volunteer on the project. see TEAMWORK page 58

“HomeAid Atlanta was proud to partner with the Greater Atlanta HBA and the Atlanta NFLPA former players chapter for this wonderful day of service to benefit Decatur Cooperative Ministry and the families they serve,” said Dan O’Dwyer, president of HomeAid Atlanta. “It was heartwarming to see people from different organizations coming together and pooling their resources for the common purpose of giving back and helping those in need in our community.”

More than 20 volunteers spent the day cleaning and painting the home’s interior, power washing the exterior siding and clearing debris from the gutters, removing overgrown plants and pruning shrubbery, and doing various repair tasks to help prepare the home for a happy, healthy and joyous holiday season.

“Through the HomeAid Care Day program, a mom and children working hard to get back on their feet came home to newly painted walls, a freshly raked yard, and more. Decatur Cooperative Ministry could not finish so many improvements in such a short period of time without the support of dedicated volunteers,” said Beth Vann-Turnbull, executive director of Decatur Cooperative Ministry. “We are very grateful to the Atlanta NFLPA former players chapter, Greater Atlanta HBA, and HomeAid Atlanta, not only for all their hard work but also for the generous and light-hearted spirit in which they did it.”

The 1,600-square-foot home is just one of nine homes used to temporarily house homeless Deca-

“We were grateful for the opportunity to team up with HomeAid Atlanta and members of the Atlanta NFLPA former players chapter to help a family in our community this holiday season,” said Mike Smith, president of the Greater Atlanta HBA. “As members of the home building industry, we feel we have an obligation to help those who need housing, and this project was a great way for us to do just that.”

The HomeAid Care Day project was part of Touchdown for Homes, a nationwide charitable outreach program of the National Association of Home Builders and the NFLPA that is bringing together local home builders’ associations and former NFL players to strengthen communities by building or renovating homes for children or families in need and veterans.

Romney is still the NH leader

BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

MANCHESTER — Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney remains the clear favorite by a wide margin but former U.S. Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich has moved up five places in the latest WMUR/University of New Hampshire poll in the race for the Republican presidential nomination in the Granite State.

With the New Hampshire Primary a little over six week away, surprisingly six out of 10 voters polled remain undecided on who they will cast their ballot for.

The poll was released Wednesday. The poll of 413 likely Republican primary voters was conducted from Nov. 15 through 22 and has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 4.8 percentage points.

Latest poll results: Romney, 42 percent; Gingrich, 15 percent; Texas Congressman Ron Paul, 12 percent; former Utah Governor Jon Huntsman, 8 percent; businessman Herman Cain, 4 percent; Texas Governor Rick Perry, 4; Minnesota Congressman Michelle Bachmann, 2 percent; former Louisiana Governor Buddy Roemer, 1 percent; former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson, 1 percent; former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum, 1 percent; and businessman Fred Karger, 1 percent.

“The voters still don’t know a lot of these candidates, with the exception of Romney,” said Andy Smith of the UNH Survey Center.

“I think there can be a lot of movement. It’s going to be hard to knock Romney off that top perch, but I think he can be brought down quite a few pegs, and it remains to be seen what happens to the alternative to Romney.”

Gingrich was the biggest mover in the polls, rising 9 percentage points since the previous poll conducted in October. His momensee POLL page 22
