(NY Times) — Tommy Caldwell, one of the world’s best all-around rock climbers, he slept on the ledge, updated his progress climbing El Capitan, on Facebook using his iPhone, which he charged with portable solar panels on the wall. Caldwell’s fans, more than 4,000 of whom he accumulated during his climb, could follow along in real time with commentary from the climber himself. The Dawn Wall, as Caldwell’s project is known, is the latest example of what has become an increasingly accepted practice among professional climbers and the wider climbing community: from-the-route social media. Observers enjoy it, sponsors encourage it and climbers get to share what is inherently a selfish pursuit. But a vocal minority questions what happens to a sport whose ideals of purity are traditionally based on adventure, commitment, self-sufficiency and individual achievement when online interaction happens instantly. “In the last six years, more climbers have started engaging in almost-live updates from the mountains,” said Katie Ives, the editor of Alpinist magazine. She worries that “instead of actually having the experience be the important part, it’s the representation of the experience that becomes the important part — something is lost.”

Motive a mystery in killing, suicide at Virginia Tech BLACKSBURG, Va. (NY Times) — The motive behind a double killing on the campus of Virginia Tech, the site of the deadliest shooting ever on a university campus, continued to elude investigators on Friday, as the police worked to determine why a man shot and killed a campus police officer and then himself. Authorities did not identify the gunman and gave few details beyond saying that he shot the officer, Deriek W. Crouse, 39, of Christiansburg, Va., at close range around noon on
Thursday while the officer was making a routine traffic stop of a student on campus. The police said that the gunman was not a Virginia Tech student, and that he fled after shooting Officer Crouse, going into a nearby greenhouse to change clothes, before eventually killing himself with the same gun. An officer who was part of the response team noticed the man “making some furtive movements” in a parking lot near the greenhouse, and approached him, said Corinne Geller, the Virginia State Police
spokeswoman. The man fell from view, she said, and by the time the officer reached him, he had shot himself. “Motive is the fundamental part of the investigation now,” Ms. Geller said. “For what reason, this man approached Officer Crouse and took his life.” The double killing on this quiet campus in western Virginia was a frightening reminder of the shooting spree on April 16, 2007, when a student, Seung-Hui Cho, shot and killed 32 people before killing himself.

Sharing is sometimes more demanding than giving.” —Mary Catherine Bateson
BRUSSELS (NY Times) — European leaders, meeting until the early hours of Friday, agreed to sign an intergovernmental treaty that would require them to enforce stricter fiscal and financial discipline in their future budgets. But efforts to get unanimity among the 27 members of the European Union, as desired by Germany, failed as Britain refused to go along. In a day of historic, seemingly tectonic shifts in the architecture of Europe, all 17 members of the
European Union that use the euro agreed to the new treaty, along with six other countries that wish to join the currency union eventually. Three stragglers, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Sweden entered the fold later, after a strong diplomatic push. Twenty years after the Maastricht Treaty, which was designed not just to integrate Europe but to contain the might of a united Germany, Berlin had effectively united Europe under its control, with Britain all but shut out.
NEW DELHI (NY Times) — To all appearances, the Advanced Medical Research Institute hospital in Kolkata was state of the art. But early Friday the hospital, known as Amri, confronted an emergency for which it seemed to have no plan: an inferno in its basement that transformed the entire hermetically sealed and air-conditioned building into a giant chimney for a searing, smoky fire. When the smoke cleared, 94 people were dead, scores more were injured and a nation was left asking: Is nowhere, even an expensive, privately run hospital designed for the country’s upwardly mobile classes, safe from disaster. The smoldering blaze in the plush 180-bed hospital in Kolkata, formerly Calcutta, started in the basement early Friday morning. Ineptitude, poor equipment and bad information helped compound what initially seemed like a minor blaze.

Governor Romney to tour Madison Lumber Monday BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
CONWAY — Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, the leader in the New Hampshire Republican presidential primary polls, will make two stops in Carroll County on Monday. Romney, who has a second home in Wolfeboro, will attend an editorial board at The Conway Daily Sun at 11:15 a.m. and is scheduled to visit and tour the Madison Lumber Mill in West Ossipee at approximately 12:30 p.m. The second stop is open to the public. “Governor Romney will visit the Madison Lumber Mill in West Ossipee to meet with employees and voters,” Ryan Williams, spokesman for Romney, said. “He will talk to the mill’s owners about how their business is fairing in the midst of the abysmal Obama economy. Governor Romney will also discuss his plans to cut taxes, create jobs and undo the damage caused by President Obama’s failed economic policies.” “The stop in West Ossipee is the latest in Governor Romney’s vigorous person-to-person, town-to-town campaign,” he continued. “He is running a traditional New Hampshire grassroots effort and working hard to earn
the support needed to win the New Hampshire primary. The governor is investing the time and effort into his campaign that Granite Staters expect from presidential candidates.” The Madison Lumber Mill was the New Hampshire Timberland Owners Association’s 2009 Outstanding Forest Industry award winner. Madison Lumber Mill was formed in 2003 when International Paper sold the mill to two former employees, Jim Smith and Kim Moore. International Paper had plans to shut the mill down when Smith and Moore pulled together the necessary backing and bought the mill and saved over 40 jobs. Smith and Moore have made several capital improvements to the mill to increase production and control costs, along with making their lumber operations a much safer environment to work. 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 (from Nov. 25) in the race for the Republican presidential nomination in the Granite State. see ROMNEY page 7

ROMNEY from page 3
With the New Hampshire Primary less than a month away, surprisingly six out of 10 voters polled remain undecided on who they will cast their ballot for. The poll of 413 likely Republican primary voters was conducted from Nov. 15-22 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. Romney and Ann, his wife, who have been married 42 years, have five sons and 16 grandchildren. Romney was the keynote speaker at the Carroll County Republican Committee’s annual Lincoln Day Dinner March 5 at the Grand Summit Hotel in Bartlett. It was Romney’s second time as the keynote speaker for the event, having attended in 2006 when he was pondering a run for the White House. In 2008, Romney was a leading candidate for the Republican presidential nomination and distinguished himself as a voice in favor of strengthening the economy, military and families. Elected governor of Massachusetts in 2002, Romney presided over a dramatic reversal of state fortunes and a period of sustained economic expansion. Without raising taxes or increasing debt, he balanced the budget every year of his administration, closing a $3 billion budget gap inherited when he took office. One of Romney’s top priorities as governor was reforming the education system so that young people could compete for better paying jobs in the global economy of the future. In 2004, Romney established the John and Abigail Adams Scholarship Program to reward the top 25 percent of Massachusetts’ high school students with a four-year, tuition-free scholarship to any Massachusetts public university or college. He has also championed a package of education reforms, including merit pay, an emphasis on math and science instruction, new intervention programs for failing schools and English immersion for foreign-speaking students. In 2006, Romney proposed and signed into law a private, market-based reform that ensures every Massachusetts citizen will have health insurance, without a government takeover and without raising taxes. In 2007, Romney was asked what three people he’d like to have dinner with. He pondered the question.
“Well, putting aside religious folks, they would all probably be American political leaders,” Romney said. “The people I’d meet with with would be (George) Washington, (Abraham) Lincoln and (John) Adams. They’re the ones that come to my mind. “There are so many things about Washington that intrigue me because we don’t know have a lot about him. We don’t have a lot of records about him because his letters to his wife were all burned after he passed away per his instruction. To have the men of the quality of Adams, (Thomas) Jefferson and (Benjamin) Franklin and all these extraordinary likes come together and say who the first president
should be and to have them say without question, it has to be Washington. Unanimous view, it has to be Washington. What is it that made him have that level of support by all these extraordinary people, I’d love to find out. “Lincoln for all the reasons we know,” Romney continued. “Adams, his letters back and forth to Abigail (his wife) show a person of such extraordinary character and strength and with a vision for what America can become. He’s just a person I admire enormously, I’d love to have his perspective.” To learn more about Romney, visit www.mittromney.com

Occupy Conway to protest Defense Act today at 1 p.m. Occupy Conway will hold an action for Human Rights Day on Saturday.
Aprés Hookah “Till the Snow Melts”
BY DAYMOND STEER CONWAY — On Saturday, members of Occupy Conway will protest a proposed bill that they say will allow the military to detain American citizens without trial. They will be handing out fliers about the National Defense Authorization Act, which recently cleared the U.S. Senate, at 1 p.m. in North Conway. “In effect, this would allow the
American military to do to American citizens what the Redcoats did to American patriots before the Revolution,” states Occupy’s flier. U.S. Senators Kelly Ayotte and Jeanne Shaheen, representing New Hampshire, have supported the bill. Ayotte’s office said the bill helps clarify American detention policy and it only applies to terrorist groups that are planning on carrying out attacks on America or its allies.
CONWAY — Brandlis Pizza & Grille at Settlers Green in North Conway will donate portions from all of its proceeds on Monday to the Kennett High hockey team. Coach Mike Lane and his Eagles will be on hand from 5 to 8 p.m. to help serve dinner and rumor has it Coach
Lane will even be in the back flipping pizzas. The dinner will help to kick off the season which opens Wednesday when the Eagles travel to John Stark. “We really have to thank Ken Janos and the staff at Brandli’s for their support,” Lane said. “They’ve been fantastic to us year after year.”

David Glenn Hobson, 33, is still at large, but is father has been arrested and charged with hindering apprehension. * Rick Santorum may have been relegated to the fringe of every Republican debate in the 2012 GOP campaign, but he's confidence the nomination race is still open. "I've got plenty of time," Santorum said in a meeting with The Conway Daily Sun staff. * The head of a local concrete company is facing charges of burglary, stalking and simple assault. * Republican presidential candidate and former Louisiana governor Buddy Roemer visits Conway Tuesday.

With enrollment declining, voters will decide in April whether to drop one of the teaching “teams” at Kennett Middle School. A team consists of four teachers (math, science, social studies and language arts) who coordinate instruction. The middle school currently has four teams, but, with enrollment below 300, thought is now being given to reducing the number of teams to three. A reduction in teams would mean a reduction in staff costs, but some school board members are concerned that the quality of education would be compromised. Members of the board’s budget committee were split on the issue in a vote last week, and they decided to ask the voters. This week’s question is: Do you support reducing the number of teaching teams at Kennett Middle School from four to three? Call 733-5822 Saturday and Sunday and leave your comments on our machine. You may fax your responses to 356-8360 or e-mail them to news@conwaydailysun.com. Comments can also be posted on The Conway Daily Sun’s Facebook page. Results will be published Tuesday.

Thursday, Dec. 8 * The Maine man who escaped from Carroll County jail last Thursday is apprehended in Rochester and appears in Ossipee circuit court. Bail is set at $500,000. Meanwhile, jail superintendent says the escape shows the need for more funding and staffing for the jail. * Voters, not the school board, will have the ultimate say whether the number of teaching teams at Kennett Middle School is reduced from four to three next year. * The Conway Daily Sun has filed paperwork asking a judge to compel the Conway School Board to release information about complaints against school board member Randy Davison.
Friday, Dec. 9 * A Madison home is the target of an armed robbery early Thursday morning. State Police say "numerous" suspects entered the home to commit the robbery. No arrests have been made. * New Year's Eve fireworks are on for North Conway Village. PainCare steps forward to sponsor the fireworks. * A team of a dozen mountaineers and rock and ice climbers gather on a rainy Wednesday to scrub graffiti from the top of Cathedral Ledge. "I think it says a lot about the climbing community, taking ownership and taking care of the cliff," says the park manager. * County officials are investigating how the Dec. 1 jail break occurred. In the meantime, the exercise yard where the break occurred has been closed.

NATIONAL PERSPECTIVE
A Defining Fight for the GOP One graduated from Baker High, a public school in Columbus, Ga.; the other from Cranbrook, a private school in Bloomfield Hills, Mich. One has a Ph.D. in history from Tulane; the other has an MBA from Harvard. One steeped himself in the details of the colonial educational institutions of the Belgian Congo; the other in the minutiae of failing companies in the United States. One almost always wears a tie in public; the other increasingly is abandoning his Brooks Brothers gray suit and crisply knotted rep tie for the sort of dresscasual look you might see dockside at the cocktail hour or on campus for the tailgate just before the Princeton game. One is extemporaneous, the other scripted. One has been in politics for more than a third of a century; the other only for half that long. One went to France as a young man to explore the battlefields at Verdun; the other as a missionary to win converts. One worked for Nelson Rockefeller in the 1968 Republican presidential nomination fight; the other supported George Romney. One can tell you how many Catholic-school teachers were in Leopoldville, the other how many employees each Staples outlet needs. One delighted in obliterating the Republican power elite; the other is a direct blood descendant of the GOP establishment. One thinks out loud, tossing ideas around like political-convention confetti; the other is careful and deliberate, with nary an impulsive remark. One lacks discipline; the other lacks spontaneity. This is what the Republican presidential nomination fight has come down to — a struggle between two men who have almost nothing in common, who have different temperaments and outlooks, who have divergent views of the origins and nature of conservatism, who personify two streams of the modern Republican Party — the incendiary, rootless radicalism represented by Newt Gingrich, the historian with contempt for the Republican past, and the respectable, Midwest-rooted, business-oriented strain represented by Mitt Romney, the businessman whose style grows out of the GOP past. There hasn't been a nomination fight like this since 1964. To be sure, recent nomination struggles have featured battles between regulars and insurgents. Ronald Reagan, the supply-side, small-government apostle from Hollywood, took on Gerald Ford, the very model of the post-New Deal get-along Republican lawmaker, in 1976, and George H.W. Bush, the striped-pants son of a senator with a Wall Street partnership, in 1980. Gary Hart, the new-ideas senator from the ascendant Mountain West challenged Walter F. Mondale, the established personification of the New Deal coalition and Minnesota liberalism, in 1984. Both of these fights involved urgent questions of identity and ideology. Both represented divergent paths for the two parties. But neither of them involved the emotional antimatter and stylistic competition, contention and collision at the center of the struggle between Romney and Gingrich, deny it as both sides might. The fight for the Republican nomination finally means something. A fortnight ago it seemed merely a prologue to the Republicans' effort to defeat and repudiate President Barack Obama. It remains that, of course — but first the Republicans need to decide what sort of party they will have as they move into the 2012 general election.

David Shribman
The old tug-of-war between social and economic conservatives, which began to emerge as Reagan departed the scene, supplied part of the storyline of 2012. The Iowa caucuses were supposed to be the social conservatism sweepstakes, the New Hampshire primary the economic conservatism showdown, South Carolina would present a Saturday social conservatism encore, and then the party would get down to business 10 days later in Florida. But the rise and fall of a number of Romney challengers and the eventual emergence of Gingrich has changed all that. The NBC News-Marist Poll shows Gingrich ahead in Iowa and 16 points behind in Romney's New Hampshire redoubt. The race is on for the former supporters of Herman Cain — Gingrich is the clear favorite there — and the character of the contest is altered immutably. For a long time, Romney managed to make the GOP contest a referendum on other people while maintaining a steady but not overwhelming lead. Now that's changed, too. Both Time ("Why Don't They Like Me?") and The New Republic ("You Won't Like Him When He's Angry") last week released covers on presidential timber and temperament, treatment until now reserved for Gingrich, who has inspired stunningly little support for his personal style and character. It's now Romney's turn. But portraying one as a prig with his nose in the air and the other as a pugilist who's happiest busting his opponent's nose isn't getting anyone anywhere and returns the contest to issues and mechanics. Romney is, or has become, a conventional 21st-century conservative, opposed to taxes, Obamacare and the notion that humankind has contributed to, or can alleviate, global climate change. Gingrich holds most of these views most of the time, but can be counted on grafting an unusual aside, or an acidic critique, onto his remarks. Romney would methodically undo much of Obama's work; Gingrich would take on the task with relish and revenge. Romney's campaign was built the traditional way — slowly, deliberately. Gingrich's was built the Gingrich way, with volcanic eruptions of energy and ideas, completely out of sync with the usual rhythms. His is a campaign so underfunded that former Sen. Rick Santorum has attracted more maximum $2,500 donors than Gingrich. His campaign is so underorganized that the candidate's New Hampshire headquarters was open only 16 days when the state's largest newspaper endorsed him last month for president. Ordinarily it's too late to try to build an organization a month before Iowa and too dangerous to float dramatic new ideas a month before New Hampshire. Gingrich is challenging not only conventional ideas about policy but also conventional cadences of politics. But in the last few days this has also become a deeply personal struggle for each man's legacy. If Romney, a former Massachusetts governor, loses, he's a footnote in history, not even a William G. McAdoo or a George Romney, both of whom aimed at the presidency twice and are largely forgotten today. If Gingrich, who ended four decades of Democratic House control, loses, he's still a historic figure. It's a fight for the ages, and for the future. David M. Shribman is executive editor of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. He can be reached at dshribman@postgazette.com. The Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist has a vacation home in Kearsarge.

FOR WORLD RESERVE MONETARY EXCHANGE 8000 FREEDOM AVE., N. CANTON OH 44720
N 48-HOUR DISTRIBUTION: These seldom seen full uncut sheets of never circulated $2 bills are being moved from the private vaults of the World Reserve Monetary Exchange for immediate distribution to state residents. They are only being released banded together in Vault Stacks containing three protective bankers portfolios each loaded with its own full uncut sheet of never circulated $2 bills for just forty-eight dollars per bankers portfolio. That’s a real steal because only the first 7,088 residents whose zip code appears on the Distribution List are getting the Vault Stacks full of real money just by calling 1-888-459-4709 to beat the 48-hour deadline.
State zip codes turn up cash for residents
Valuable uncut sheets of never circulated $2 bills are actually being released to the first 7,088 callers who find their zip code on the distribution list to the right and beat the 48-hour deadline to get Vault Stacks full of real money By Keith Berrymore UNIVERSAL MEDIA SYNDICATE
N VALUABLE: Pictured to the left are the Vault Stacks containing three protective bankers portfolios, each loaded with a valuable uncut sheet of never circulated $2 bills. It’s impossible to predict how much the bills will be worth in the future. But, since the Gov’t shut down printing in 2006 on all $2 bills you better believe at just forty-eight dollars and shipping the bankers portfolio is a real steal.
UMS – State residents who find their zip code on the Distribution List will feel like they just won the lottery. That’s because for the next 48 hours, full uncut sheets of never circulated $2 bills are being released by the World Reserve not to banks, not to dealers and not just to the rich and famous, but directly to state residents who beat the order deadline.

containing three protective bankers portfolios full of real money. “The Gov’t shut down printing of $2 bills in September 2006 and likely won’t print more next year. So the money is being released until our last remaining $2 bills are completely gone,” said Jefferson Marshall, Executive Director of the private World Reserve. “That’s why we’ve set up a Toll Free Distribution Hotline to make sure residents get them now,” he said. “But everything in our vault may soon be gone. So residents who want to get
the uncut sheets of never circulated $2 bills had better hurry and call right now,” Marshall said. Those who get in on this now will be the really smart ones. Just think what they could be worth someday. “Rare uncut sheets of real Gov’t issued currency have sold at prestigious auction houses for thousands of dollars. Currency values always fluctuate, and there are never any guarantees. But at just forty-eight dollars the full uncut sheet and bankers portfolio is a real steal,” Marshall said. “You would expect to only see uncut money sheets on display in the Oval Office

or under guard at the Smithsonian,” he said. “In fact, they are so seldom seen, banks don’t even have them. That’s why I’ve issued a directive to release a limited number of never circulated uncut sheets of valuable $2 bills from our private vault reserve to residents across the United States. Residents whose zip code is not on the Distribution List can’t have our Vault Stacks of these full uncut sheets of $2 bills,” Marshall said. “These full uncut sheets of $2 bills will be highly sought after and are extremely popular to hand out as gifts for friends and
family,” he said. Most people have never even seen a single $2 bill featuring President Thomas Jefferson on the front and the signing of the Declaration of Independence on the back let alone one of these full uncut sheets of never circulated bills. “We’re bracing for all the calls. With just hours left, we’re doing our best to make sure residents get through. But, it is important that residents find their zip code on the Distribution List and call the Toll Free Hotline right away to beat the deadline. Because when our release is over, it’s over,” he said. “We’re allowing residents
whose zip code appears on the Distribution List to claim as many as 10 Vault Stacks. But, since you can’t get these Vault Stacks containing three protective bankers portfolios full of uncut sheets of money at banks, credit unions or even the Federal Reserve the limits will be strictly enforced,” Marshall said. “So, residents who want these full uncut sheets of real money need to call right now. If lines are busy keep trying, we promise to answer all calls,” he said. N On the worldwide web: www.Uncut2Dollar.com
How to get the money The Toll Free Distribution Hotline opens at 8:30am today for state residents only. The World Reserve has authorized the release of full uncut sheets of never circulated $2 bills to residents who beat the 48-hour deadline. If lines are busy, keep trying all calls will be answered. If you miss the deadline you’ll be turned away from this offer and forced to wait for future announcements in this publication or others, if any. The only thing readers need to do is find their zip code on the Distribution List below and be one of the first 7,088 residents who call and beat the order deadline to get the Vault Stack containing three protective bankers portfolios, each loaded with its own full uncut sheet of never circulated $2 bills for just $48 per portfolio and shipping.

Children today even more aware of vets To the editor: I am writing in response to the letter by Sheri Pratt titled “Youth neither know nor care about Veterans Day” (Nov. 18). I think to make such a sweeping generalization by saying that “the majority of this community’s youth neither know nor care why we observe Veterans Day” is not only uninformed but untrue. The basis of her conclusion apparently comes from some high school students. I’m not sure how many students she spoke with that day, but their sentiments are certainly not a fair representation of the youth in our community. She then blames the parents by saying, “You would think that parents would be teaching their children what Veterans Day is ...” Unless she conducted a poll and interviewed all parents in the area (including me), her statement is baseless and quite disrespectful to those of us who do indeed take Veterans Day very seriously and subsequently have children who care very much about this holiday. Finally, she blames the school: “Why are our children not being taught in school the importance of honoring our veterans....”. This is, again, not true and I wonder what schools she visited when she was gathering all the facts and informa-
tion for her letter. My child goes to Pine Tree School in Center Conway, and the students there are not only taught about Veterans Day but Memorial Day as well. One tradition at Pine Tree is laying a wreath at the Mill Street Memorial every year. Also, the Pine Tree K-Kids Club (led by Diane Gamache) created a “Wall of Honor” this year for Veterans Day that recognizes family members and friends of students who have served or are serving in the military. I think children today are even more aware of our men and women in uniform and their sacrifices since they are living in a time when our country is at war and so many families have had to endure (or are enduring) the absence of a loved one who is deployed overseas. The real issue here is not the youth who, according to Ms. Pratt, “neither know nor care why we observe Veterans Day,” but her failure to see and appreciate the efforts of so many people who do care about Veterans Day. Instead of unfairly criticizing our “youth,” Ms. Pratt should thank all the children, their parents, their teachers, and everyone in the community for their hard work and dedication every Nov. 11.

CONWAY — The elves are busier than ever at the former Casual Corner Store at Settlers' Crossing for the annual “Angels and Elves” gift-giving program for needy families. “Merry Christmas,” said Kennett High Middle School principal Kevin Richard Friday afternoon to volunteers staffing the Elf Headquarters, after he dropped off several bags of toys that had been donated and wrapped by students. Earlier in the week, students from John Fuller Elementary School's “K Kids” — the elementary version of Kennett High's Key Club — donated presents. The Kennett High Key Club — the high school level of Kiwanis — has also been actively involved, as have such groups as the American Legion Riders, who held a contest to “bury” their motorcycles at Settlers' Green Dec. 3, hiding them under toys which were then donated to Angels and Elves. Many other local businesses have stepped up to help — too numerous to mention here, but all of the support appreciated. Valleywide program The goal of “Angels and Elves” is to provide gifts during the holiday season to more than 700 needy children in Mount Washington Valley who might not otherwise receive presents. Accepting the gifts when Richard stopped by on Friday were Angels and Elves coordinator Dick Ficke and assistant Marie Lee of the Kiwanis Club of Mount Washington Valley, the organization that has managed the 22-year-old program for the past eight years. “This is really a valleywide program that the Kiwanis Club administers,” said Ficke. To underscore that valleywide aspect, he said the North Conway Rotary Club will be helping its Kiwanis counterparts and other fellow volunteers to wrap presents Saturday. “It's a wonderful way for two great service organizations to work together to serve the needs of the valley,” said Ficke. Groups such as the Masonic Lodge have also helped. Elf Headquarters Elf Headquarters on Friday looked like a satellite of the North Pole, with assembled and labeled bags in one of the show rooms, and an array of clothing purchased at end-of-year sales by the club and used to help take care of families that the club sponsors. The main room featured a Christmas tree, and an extensive filing system for processed orders that would make Walmart proud, let alone Santa. As that filing system shows, Ficke is a stickler for proper processing — and for good reason. “I do this because it would break my heart if a child didn't get their present on Christmas morning,” said Ficke, commenting on the filing system, noting that the painstaking care ensures that no request gets lost in the shuffle during the busy holiday season. A retired Air Force lieutenant colonel, Ficke has been coordinator since 2005. Asked why he gets involved, Ficke said it's about getting into the holiday spirit for donors and volunteers alike, but overall, it's about helping children. “This sounds kind of corny,” he said, “but I spent 20 years of my life in the Air Force serving my country in a particular fashion. I consider this country's most important resource our children, so I kind of feel I am serving our country again by serving our children.” A total of 707 applications from needy families had been processed as of Friday morning — down slightly from last year's 749. A total of 232 sponsors as of Friday had whittled down the number of children needing sponsors to 14.

While the number of requests is down slightly, the ability of sponsors to contribute is also off from past years, due to the challenging economy, according to Ficke. He said sponsors spend an average of $125 to $200 per child. “At this point we are still accepting any amount of cash donations as we are shopping for those children who did not get a sponsor,” said Lee. While some people like to go out and buy for applicants, using the application forms to fill the wish list, some sponsors simply donate money. Others — such as Ruth Twombly, 92, of Conway — provide goods,
with Twombly annually knitting hats for children, according to Lee and Ficke. Dec. 17 deadline Angels and Elves opened Nov. 7. The deadline for families to submit applications was Dec. 2. The last day to bring in gifts is Dec. 11, and Dec. 17 is the last day to pick up gifts. Elf Headquarters is open daily noon to 6 p.m. through Dec. 17. “We'll accommodate and make arrangements for anyone who wants to serve as a sponsor,” said Ficke.

Can Christmas Cure? Wounded warriors share their experiences
THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Saturday, December 10, 2011— Page 17
BY CLAIRE FLYNN JACKSON — Mount Washington Valley is once again getting ready to welcome two wounded war veterans and their families for Christmas. Retired Navy Lt. Commander John Oliveira and retired Army Specialist Eddie Platt will be treated to an "old-fashioned New England Christmas" Dec. 15-20, with numerous activities planned for both families. The Christmas Can Cure tradition was started by Dr. and Mrs. Gerald Carrier, of Jackson, and their children and grandchildren in 2008. "We wanted to give these wounded veterans and their families a Christmas they can look forward to and remember for a lifetime," said Dr. Carrier. Although their injuries were different, all of the wounded veterans selected for Christmas Can Cure since 2008 shared a common experience of life-altering events that affected not just them but their families as well.

Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).]. “The stigma of PTSD affects the whole family, and that’s what was happening to us,” he explained. “But being around the Carrier family, enjoying winter activities with my family and theirs, well, I had an epiphany. It all made me realize that I didn’t have to do it alone. I realized that I could seek help without being judged.” Will made the decision to live his life to the fullest. He is no longer heavily reliant on medication, but exercises more, and has become involved with the Wounded Warrior Project. In addition, Will is in the process of starting a business catering to veterans. His goal is to have his hybrid gym of physical fitness and self-defense help the veterans through their transition from combat to home, and become a positive outlet for their displaced anger. “I’ve never felt so much love and caring from a community.” Mel Perez vividly remembered last year’s Christmas Can Cure experience. “It was heart-warming to know that somebody really appreciated what Rocky did, and what our family went through – what all the veterans and their families have had to endure. One community gets it.” [Rocky Perez was injured when an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) hit the rear of his Humvee. In addition to his outward physical injuries to the right side of his body, Rocky also suffered a Traumatic Brain Injury. His leg was almost amputated and he has lived with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) since that day.] “We loved the experience! Rocky and I walked away with more than our sons did. It was more than a magical experience. It

plete strangers!” recalled DJ Martin. "Everyone was so sincere – from business owners to people we met. They were sincere in wanting to meet us, and now we feel like we’re part of their families.” [During the initial invasion of Iraq, DJ ran through enemy fire to deliver more ammunition to fellow marines. He was blown off his feet and incurred traumatic brain injury, which has caused permanent impairment of his balance and vision.] “It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience – one we couldn’t ever pay for – it was given to us. It showed us just how genuine the people were.” “The atmosphere helped so much with my morale and depression.” Shane Ugliono was exuberant as he talked about his family’s experience with Christmas Can Cure, as it was the first Christmas he and his family had spent together in many years. “We fell in love with Jackson!” he recounted. “My kids had so much fun! They still talk about that weekend and want to go back. The Carriers are so giving and caring, and our kids and their grandkids got along so well. The atmosphere helped so much with my morale and depression. I’ve completed my rehab, and what mobility I have in my arm is all that I will ever have.” [During a 2008 firefight in Iraq, Shane, was shot 16 times – four of them in his head. His left arm is paralyzed and he’s living with the consequences of traumatic brain injury.] “I had an epiphany.” The Christmas Can Cure experience was a wake-up call for Will Quiroz.

felt genuine – not just from the Carriers, but from the whole community. It was warm, amazing and almost inexplicable in a word – it was a feeling,” Mel concluded. “It’s an honor and a privilege to do something for these veterans.” But it is not just these wounded veterans and their families who have experienced this season of giving and of hope. Those who make Christmas Can Cure possible receive a rewarding and gratifying experience as well. “Today’s veterans are the real volunteers,” stated Joe Mazzaglia. “They volunteered to be in harm’s way for our country; they gave of themselves. We recognize their effort and give thanks for their sacrifice. I’m a fortunate veteran, who was never harmed. Helping with Christmas Can Cure is a way for me to balance the scales just a little.” “Seeing the happiness of the children is especially gratifying.” Leslie Shomaker volunteers because she finds that “the wounded warrior project is especially worthwhile. Since the families of these wounded warriors suffer as well, the Christmas Can Cure event is a very special time where the entire families of these servicemen are pampered, feted and honored. Being part of this event is a privilege, but also great fun.” “Christmas is the ultimate story and celebration of birth.” Andre Carrier, who initially conceived of Christmas Can Cure as a way for his family to continue their mission of service, especially serving veterans, reflected on what this foundation means to him. “War is a vivid
illustration of humanity in its darkest moments. What is our wish for these veterans and their families at Christmas time? We wish them joy and to start a new year with a new hope. The birth of a child is the ultimate example of new hope and joy, and Christmas is the ultimate story and celebration of birth.” The Carriers have family members serving in the military, and therefore, have first-hand knowledge of the effects of war on families. But many people do not. “Christmas Can Cure is an opportunity to stay connected to the men and women who have served our country," Andre said. "The families come to Jackson and meet strangers, who have opened their homes and hearts to them – the clearest gesture of Christmas. When we reach out to these families, we get a glimpse of our best selves as we start the New Year.” Give the gift of hope this season. Christmas Can Cure is not a single event, activity or act of giving. Rather, it is an "experience" and that's what makes it uniquely powerful in its reach and effectiveness. It caters to the needs of these warriors and their families, and brings the full portrait of an old-fashioned New England Christmas to life. Give the gift of hope this Christmas season, and make a difference in the lives of this year’s inspirational, wounded warriors and their families. The fourth annual Christmas Can Cure, a 501(c) (3) foundation, will be held Dec. 15-20. Visit www.christmascancure.org to volunteer or donate, and plan on meeting these veterans Dec. 16 at the 10 a.m. opening flagraising ceremony at the Jackson Town Offices.

Great-grandmother bags a deer and moose BY TOM EASTMAN THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
FRYEBURG — An 83-year-old great grandmother of eight scored an incredible hunting double play on either side of Thanksgiving, as Dot (Charles) Ela of Haleytown Road bagged a 175-pound, seven-point buck Nov. 23 and a 610-pound cow moose Nov. 25. “I was pretty excited. I had not gotten a deer in three years, and this was my first moose hunting permit in 31 years,” said the sharp-shooting mother of six and grandmother of seven. Physically fit, she says she likes to stay in shape by taking walks on hiking trails near her home. She said she has been hunting since her oldest, now grown son Charles was 10. “My brothers and dad hunted when I was growing up in Chatham,” said Ela, who was one of 11 children raised in a log cabin. “I started hunting about 53 years ago, when my oldest son turned 10 and needed someone to go with him. That's when I got my first license.” Her late husband Donald, who operated Ela's Sheet Metal Shop that is now run by their son Ronald, “hunted once in a while, but not as much as I did,” she said. “I started by hunting with friends, a couple, and they told me what I should know, I guess. I just liked it.” She bagged her buck the night before Thanksgiving off Haleytown Road in late afternoon, accompanied by her sons Ronald and Bruce Ela. They had been out since about 3 p.m., having headed into the woods after that day's heavy snowstorm had ended. Because it was getting dark, they did not know for certain if she had bagged the buck, so they went home just down Haleytown Road and did not return until the next morning. “Sure enough, it was right where they thought she had shot it. It was a perfect shot,” said Dot's daughter, Rhonda Ela, of Conway. The day after Thanksgiving — Black Friday — was the next-to-last day of Maine's moose hunt by permit season. When many women her age and younger might have donned their shopper orange to head to the outlet malls on the traditional kick-off to the holiday shopping season that day, Dot — once again accompanied by Ronald and Bruce — put on her hunter orange and went out at dawn. They got her cow moose at about noon, also off Haleytown Road. “In both cases, it's a spot where I waited. I didn't track them. I have seen tracks there going across the road all the time,” said Dot. She used Bruce's .270 rifle for both kills, giving him her .35 Remington to use. “It doesn't have too much kick on it, no,” she said to a

reporter's question. “I shot the deer at maybe 50 yards; and the moose a bit further away but not much.” She said she has bagged approximately 20 deer over the years. A great cook, according to her daughter Rhonda, Dot next will set about making roasts and stews. “I like to roast and stew the meat, and cook up the hamburger meat, too; stuff like that. The steaks I'm not so fond of,” she said. ‘Unusual feat’ Bill Swann, director of licensing for the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife in Augusta, said 10 percent of all Maine hunting license holders are female. “I would say this is pretty unusual, yes,” said Swann, “although we do have a lot of [male] hunters who are in their 80s. I often hunt with a good friend of mine's dad who is in his 80s, and he is amazing. He would walk circles around most 40-year-olds.” Swann said 3,862 moose permits were issued in Maine this year. Information on this year's hunter success rate for moose is still being tabulated, Swann said. The last day for regular firearms hunting season for deer was Nov. 26 in Maine, and those tallies are also not yet available. In New Hampshire, Kent Gustafson, deer project leader of Fish and Game, says the total deer kill as of Nov. 27 was 9,723, up from 9,339 at the same time in 2010. The deer regular firearms season ended Dec. 4. The deer archery season continues until Dec. 15 except in Management Unit A. As of Wednesday, Oct. 19, a total of 212 moose had been taken in the 2011 New Hampshire moose hunt (147 bulls and 65 cows). That means that 52 percent of hunters holding moose permits had succeeded by the midway point in the state’s moose hunt, which is in line with a typical year. The season ended Oct. 23.

An early morning walk on the McCrillis Path Last week, I wrote about a traverse over Mount Whiteface, hiking up the Blueberry Ledge Trail and down the McCrillis Trail, then returning to my car in Wonolancet by doing some pavement walking out on Ed Parsons the quiet Chase Road (113A), as well as catching a couple short rides. It was a great hike. However, you could say it was done in anticipation of the reopening of a special trail, possibly next summer, that will allow an 11-mile loop hike over Mount Whiteface. Hitchhiking or having two cars will not be necessary, as the return walk to a vehicle will be on this historic path across the flats beneath the mountain. The hiking trail known as the McCrillis Path, which connects the Whiteface Intervale with Wonolancet, was once known as the Mountain Road. Although it was built in 1825, there were settlers there long before that. Cornelius Weygandt, in his 1937 book “New Hampshire Neighbors,” colorfully described three generations of the early settler family named Tasker, whose offspring usually chose to stay on their remote homestead there, rather than leave. About their house he wrote: “Built in 1760, it escaped because of its remoteness, the marauding Indians that the English sent down from Canada in the War of the Revolution.” John Tasker lived in the house when the Mountain Road was built next to it in 1825. By then, other farmers had settled in the neighborhood. Part of the town of Sandwich then, Tasker and his neighbors were required to keep the road in repair, something known as a “highway tax.”

McCrillis Trail, early morning. (ED PARSONS PHOTO)
By 1870, all of the family had passed on, and in another decade the house had caved in. The old house was further described by Weygandt: “There was never a well at the Tasker place. It was only a few steps from the kitchen door to the spring at the edge of the swamp. The path to the spring is still there, a slight depression in the needled ground under the spruces. It was there, in all probability, when the family settled there, worn by the feet of the ancestors of the bear and deer that still use it.” What remains of the place is one of three historic sites on the trail today. The abandonment of hill farming and the arrival of tourism radically changed the area. The McCrillis family in Whiteface Intervale (then known as McCrillis Intervale) built trails from their inn, and guided tourists on them. Later on, Kate Sleeper arrived in Wonalancet (then known as Birch Intervale) and founded the Wonalancet Outdoor Club. For
many years after, the McCrillis Path connected these two places. Springing forward to the modern world, two things happened. In 1984, the Sandwich Range Wilderness was designated by congress. From Ferncroft in Wonalancet, the one mile section of the McCrillis Path up to the national forest boundary, became wilderness. Forever wild. The remainder of the trail was on private land. Then, a decade ago, a private landowner in Whiteface Intervale decided to close off the section of the McCrillis Path on his land to hikers and x-country skiers. This ended 186 years of free access, first by dirt road and then by trail, through the forest between Wonolancet and Whiteface Intervale. Hikers can tend to be goal oriented. In the decade since the trail closing, few have hiked out on the short McCrillis Path to the forest boundary, and back. Ironically, because of this, it has become a beautiful moss

Tamworth Congregational Church alive with holiday activities this season TAMWORTH — On Wednesday evening Dec. 14, at 7:30 p.m., the Sandwich Singers will present a Christmas concert directed by Peggy Johnson and Allan DiBiase with guest musicians Ron Wold, french horn and Peter Heimlich, guitar. Supported by Yeoman’s Fund for the Arts, the Sandwich Singers commissioned Plymouth State University Music Department Chair, Dr. Jonathan Santore with Allan DiBiase and students Eben Brown, Hannah Chambers and Kyle Quirion to create a new piece based on the R. Vaughn Williams setting of Snow in the Street. This composition includes parts for congregation, choir, piano, french horn and guitar. On Sunday, Dec. 18, at 5:30 p.m. the Tamworth Congregational Church partners with the Remick Country Doctor Museum and Farm to present a “Live Nativity.” Gather in front of the museum and become part of the mystery and wonder of the season as local children reenact the journey to Bethlehem and the birth of Jesus. Following the “Live Nativity” you are invited to the church for a carol sing. Special music will be provided by the Bell Choir of the First Congregational Church, Center Ossipee. A free will offering will be taken with proceeds donated to the St. Andrew’s Food Pantry. Hot Chocolate and cookies will be served. A Christmas Eve Candlelight Service will be held from 6-7pm. The glorious sound of Christmas carols will fill the sanctuary and Pastor David Kemper will share the Christmas Message. There will not be a service on Christmas Day.

covered trail — in a sense, a model for wilderness. The private land that starts beyond the boundary, however, appears to be in the process of development. This Wednesday morning, before the rain, I left early to walk out the McCrillis Path and back. It was foggy when I parked at Ferncroft, and walked down the road towards the mountain trails. I crossed “Squirrel Bridge” and soon headed up the Blueberry Ledge Trail, the trail I had taken a week before to climb Mount Whiteface. But this time, in 0.9 miles, I took a left on the McCrillis Path. Luminous green moss encroached on the middle of the path as I climbed a short rise, then started across country on the flat trail. Fog bathed the forest. I passed a couple trees fallen across the trail that were recently cut with an axe to allow passage. No power tools are used for trail work in a Wilderness Area. In no time I was at the forest boundary. The trail kept going, so I followed a short way. I immediately hit a clear cut, then a road system, with what looked like occasional ditches probing for wells. I turned back. It started raining. I was glad I had come. I don’t think I have ever really appreciated a Wilderness Area as much, seeing the contrast between the moss lined trail, and in a few steps, the landscape being exposed and manipulated--then returning to the mossy trail. Back home I found out that later that very morning (and in the rain), Fred Lavigne of the Wonalancet Outdoor Club Trail Crew and Janna Johnson of the U.S. Forest Service were scoping out the new route that will connect Whiteface Intervale with the McCrillis Path. The next day I talked to both of them a little about it. George Bates, a landowner at the end of the Whiteface Intervale Road, recently made a permanent easement to the forest service, allowing access across his property to the national forest Wilderness Area. Once there, the new trail will go east for a half mile and connect with the McCrillis Path. It will connect with the old path a short way back down the trail from the boundary, away from the private land. Finally after a decade, McCrillis Intervale and Birch Intervale will be connected again by the old Mountain Road. And hikers will be able to do a nice 11 mile loop over Whiteface Mountain.

Country Ecology: Invasive forest insects The Watershed News published by the Green Mountain Conservation Group usually information we should be alerted to. Environmental threats can come from far afield these days. The summer quarterly edition had an article by Corey Lane of the Saco River Corridor Commission. She attended an Invasive Forest Outreach and Survey Training workshop in Fryeburg and wrote about how it covered five of these pests that could dramatically change our forests as we know them today. A new Maine law bans all out of state firewood being transported across that state border; and well it should. You should buy firewood where you burn it. New Hampshire is stopping firewood from being carried into state parks and forests, but we could go a step further on establishing a statewide quarantine on out-of-state firewood. The reason is dangerous bugs inhabit cut wood to the south of here, and could get a free ride northerly to our abodes. This restriction would possibly slow down the invasion of these foreign insects that already have a foothold here in the United States. You may have heard how Worcester, Mass. has had to cut down thousands of infested hardwood trees on city streets that have suffered repeated attacks by the Asian longhorned beetle. Maples are often most infested, but healthy hardwoods are girdled and weakened by the beetle larvae boring through the heartwood. The beetle hails from Asia, and probably hitched a ride in solid wood packing materials used to transport goods from China. I worry about the Emerald ash

borer, which is also from Asia, affecting our valuable white ash trees. This insect can be transported by moving firewood as well as nursery stock. So far, the closest known infestation is in New York State. Most of its damage is caused by the larvae tunneling below the bark. Corey writes that since its discovery in Michigan in 2002, over 70 million ash trees have been destroyed in the US. The white ash seems very much the best suited tree on my small acreage, and if it showed signs of stress in its upper canopy due to girdling, I would soon see “D” shaped exit holes in the diamond fissured bark of these trees. Thankfully, she writes that there is a natural predator in New England for this hard-todetect borer. A hunting wasp that has not been given a common name yet, though it possesses a Latin name, might construct ground nests near white ash trees so could be available. The next insect we are already worried about is the hemlock wooly adelgid, which was accidentally transported here from Asia in ornamental plantings. Infested hemlocks will show tiny white wooly masses less than an eighth-of-an-inch on the underside of the conifer’s twigs. The insects spread their eggs by hitching a ride on wind, vehicles, clothing, birdlife, and mammals. Quite a few towns in Maine already have known infestations, mostly near the seacoast. An insect I have not heard about yet is the elongate hemlock scale which was detected in southern Maine in 2009, and has already found a home in Kennebunk, Cape Elizabeth, Old Orchard Beach, and Kittery.

native to Japan and was accidentally introduced by ornamental plantings. Historically, this is a very common way of bringing a pest into our nation’s environs. Crawler nymphs are said to be transported by wind, vehicles, clothing, birds, and mammals. These insects infest hemlock, fir, and other conifers, like our pines. You would notice thin, yellowing foliage with a waxy buildup on needles. Halifax seems to be a convenient entry for bugs native to Europe that become a scourge here in New England. The brown spruce longhorn beetle has been identified in only one place in North America, and that is Nova Scotia. They found their way into this port via wood packing materials which contained the larvae. I am beginning to believe in plastic peanuts quite fervently as I write this. Then they spread through Nova Scotia by means of logs, firewood and also Hurricane Juan in 2003. It does most of its damage by tunneling larvae. This beetle prefers stressed trees, but Corey

writes it is not opposed to making a home in your healthy trees as well. As one begins to understand the magnitude of these possible infestations, combined with increasing global climatic change threats, it is wise to play heads up regarding our northeastern forests. Early detection is the byword. If any of these insects becomes established, they could change our landscapes forever, costing us many expensive federal dollars to eradicate. With the present conversations being held in the Congress, I don’t see a lot of dedication there for something that might not even be possible over the long run. So be watchful choosing your seasonal supply of firewood, and help keep local loggers in business.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES
by Lynn Johnston by Scott Adams
DILBERT
By Holiday Mathis words spoken beautifully. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll have moments of doubt and even more moments of excitement, wonder and enjoyment. The key is not to resist any of the feelings. Float along with them, and see where they take you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll experience a surge of devotion, feelings of loyalty and a willingness to renew your commitments. To love and love well takes time and patience, and you have plenty of both. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You have become used to feelings of “been there, done that,” and you crave fresh excitement. You will be inclined to follow an unpredictable path just to see where it leads. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You will be mindful to create healthy bonds and steer away from the kind of betrayal bonding that comes from two people connecting in shared resentment of a third person. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll find your company delightful, mostly because you are looking for that outcome. You have a way of asking the questions that lead to interesting stories and perhaps even shared adventures. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 10). You will be rather driven in the new year. You’ll increase your communication and add to your network over the next seven weeks. An idea you once thought was wildly unrealistic will come to being because you have faith and focus with great intensity on the goal. A special relationship makes your heart glad in May. Leo and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 20, 40, 19 and 38.
Get Fuzzy
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll evaluate yourself and others on the basis of character. This has little to do with accomplishment, ownership, attractiveness or popularity. It has to do with feeling well and doing good. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Although you are capable of handling surprises well, you prefer not to have to deal with them. You will be content with what is presented to you from a familiar stance and on known territory. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Social events will catalyze positive movement toward a goal. Once you tell people exactly the change you are looking for, the change will happen quickly. You can afford to be boldly instructive. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Don’t worry too much about what to do. Just pick something you haven’t done before. Your spiritual awareness will be opened. It’s not the activity itself but the novelty of it that will put you in a fresh state of mind. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You may lose your self-discipline for moments; impulse control can be tricky. Preventive measures can be taken, though -- for example, slowing down, staying calm and removing yourself from stressful situations and obvious triggers. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You never can know for sure what people are going through. Sometimes their smiles are a cover-up for desperation. You’ll give compassion to someone who has had a tough time lately, whether or not you realize this. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You love those you need, and you need those you love. Your choice to spend more time at home and with your family will be rewarded. Tonight brings loving

Today is Saturday, Dec. 10, the 344th day of 2011. There are 21 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Dec. 10, 1931, Jane Addams became the first American woman to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize; the co-recipient was Nicholas Murray Butler. On this date: In 1520, Martin Luther publicly burned the papal edict demanding that he recant, or face excommunication. In 1817, Mississippi was admitted as the 20th state of the Union. In 1861, the Confederacy admitted Kentucky as it recognized a pro-Southern shadow state government that was acting without the authority of the pro-Union government in Frankfort. In 1906, President Theodore Roosevelt became the first American to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, for helping mediate an end to the Russo-Japanese War. In 1911, TV newscaster Chet Huntley was born in Cardwell, Mont. In 1948, the U.N. General Assembly adopted its Universal Declaration on Human Rights. In 1950, Ralph J. Bunche was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, the first black American to receive the award. In 1964, Martin Luther King Jr. received his Nobel Peace Prize. In 1967, singer Otis Redding, 26, and six others were killed when their plane crashed into Wisconsin’s Lake Monona. In 1984, South African Bishop Desmond Tutu received the Nobel Peace Prize. In 1986, human rights advocate and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel accepted the Nobel Peace Prize. One year ago: The Norwegian Nobel Committee honored Chinese literary critic Liu Xiaobo, imprisoned for urging political reform, by presenting his $1.4 million Nobel Peace Prize diploma and medal to an empty chair. Today’s Birthdays: Actor Tommy Kirk is 70. Actress Fionnula Flanagan is 70. Pop singer Chad Stuart is 70. Actress-singer Gloria Loring is 65. Pop-funk musician Walter “Clyde” Orange is 65.

WOMAN QUESTIONS FUTURE WITH UNAFFECTIONATE MAN
DEAR ABBY: I am 28 and have dated my boyfriend “Dan” for two years. We have lived together for the past year. I fell for him the moment I laid eyes on him and have always imagined we would spend the rest of our lives together. My problem is Dan shows me almost no affection. He doesn’t tell me he loves me unless I say it first; he never wants to cuddle next to me or hug me when he gets home from work. He insists that he loves me, and says his lack of demonstrativeness is because he didn’t grow up in an affectionate household and it makes him uncomfortable. I feel Dan is an adult and can choose to make his household -- our household -- one filled with love and affection. It’s starting to make me question whether we really have a future together. Am I overreacting? -- NO HUGS, NO CUDDLES IN PHILLY DEAR NO HUGS, NO CUDDLES: No. You’re an intelligent woman, and you’re asking intelligent questions. Before making up your mind about Dan, make clear to him what your needs are. Demonstrate the kind of affection you need from him, and see if he’s willing to make the effort. If he’s not up to it, then -- face it -- he’s not the man for you. To marry someone who can’t show love would be for you to live on an emotional starvation diet. DEAR ABBY: I am a caring, loving husband. I enjoy my time with my wife. I think about our future a lot and want our marriage to last for as long as possible. I make exercise a priority in my life, but I can’t get her to understand that she should, too. I love her for who she is, but I want her to be in great health. I am a very straightforward person and have told her in ways she didn’t respond well to. She becomes defensive. How do you tell a woman she should exercise without of-
fending her? -- FIT IN AKRON, OHIO DEAR FIT: Talk to her about the couples you encounter who exercise together. Tell her how much it would mean to you if you could share the activity together. If your form of exercise isn’t one that works for her, then find something you can agree on to do together. If that doesn’t help, then you’ll have to accept her for who she is -- a confirmed couch potato. DEAR ABBY: I live in Japan and love your column. It is informative and helps me stay in touch with America. But I need to get something off my chest. I am beyond tired of the number of women I read about in your column who refer to their wedding day as “my special day.” News flash, ladies: You should be using the term “OUR special day”! If you’re so focused on your dress and hair and any faux pas -- real or imagined -- your guests may commit that you lose focus on the life you and your husband are beginning, perhaps you should buy a pet rather than get married. Any person who has stayed married for more than a few years knows the marriage ceremony is the easy part. The self-absorption that permeates today’s wedding scene ranges from embarrassing to sickening. -- ROB IN TOMAKOMAI DEAR ROB: Weddings (and funerals) can bring out the worst in people because they are times when emotion sometimes trumps common sense. The majority of American brides are gracious, polite, loving and hardworking. They are also prepared for the realities that come after the fairy tale wedding. (And if they’re not, I hear from them!) Please don’t judge all American brides by the ones you read about in my column. The weddings that go smoothly I don’t hear about.

Student concert at Ossipee Concerned Citizens Holiday Events: Fifth and sixth grade students from our school (Effingham Elementary School) will be bring their voices and spirit to Ossipee Concerned Citizens on Dec. 15 at 6 p.m., to perform in concert for all those gathered. Fourth graders will perform at Effingham Elementary School’s annual Elfin Fair held at the school Dec. 19. This season’s road tour will conclude with a concert given by third grade students at the Effingham Historical Society’s building on the 20th at 10 a.m. The performance schedule finale for the entire holiday season will find students on stage under the direction of Mrs. Susan Lander at the school on the 22nd at 6 p.m., offering us all a chance to view their interpretation of the Nutcracker. Now, for all those out there without kids in the school, it may be true that the primary reason to go to a youth concert is having some of that youth directly related to yourself, but try and remember what it was like when you were 6, or 7 or 9 and you stood in the wings waiting to go on stage; your reporter will report that he was somewhat less than anxious to get on stage. So consider showing up on purpose for one of these concerts; it’s not just music, it’s a rite of passage. In its efforts to bring the old Davis Meeting House back into the fold of community life the Davis family and Meeting House Society cordially invite you to attend an early Christmas service in the building on Dec. 10 at 1 p.m. Pastor Michael Denney from the 2nd Congregational Church will lead those attending in the service. Ms. Carol Tubman will perform “Silent Night” in solo and then join with the other
voices present in carol singing. Attempts will be made to warm the building but sensible clothes are recommended. The historical society will be holding its annual Christmas celebration on the 16 starting at 6 p.m. Tickets for members are $5, $10 for non-members ( includes membership) and all attending are asked to bring a Yankee Swap gift not valued over $5 to throw into the evening’s entertainment. This could be a whole lot of fun. A little town news: It may still need a bit more work but it has got to be said that the work done on the modular office space behind the municipal office building looks pretty darn good. Kudos should go out to Ms. R. Boyton, our enforcement officer, for putting up with the mold, smelly carpets, holes in the floor, ugly walls and general neglect of this space over the last few years. Additionally thanks are due to the selectmen for finally making this space not just healthier and pleasant to be in but also more productive. No good deed goes un-punished: Mr. Billy Taylor would never say that he is a primary reason we have the tree lighting and concert in South Effingham; and it is true that there are many who help but as is often the case there is one person who takes up the reins without being asked because that is just what he or she does. So in the vein that no good deed goes un-punished Mr. T. came down with a really really bad cold. Proving that the germs found him standing out in the road as the lights lit the tree may not be possible but it can reasonably be assumed. Hey Bill, hope you feel better.

Kennett High School Holiday Concert Dec. 15 CONWAY — The annual Kennett High School holiday concert and silent auction will be held in the Loynd Auditorium at Kennett High School Thursday, Dec. 15, at 7 p.m. The evening’s events will feature traditional holiday and ensemble literature performed by a variety of musical groups. There will be a silent auction and bake sale before the concert and at intermission to support the music department spring trip. Winners will be announced before the end of the evening. Do some holiday shopping with us! Sharing the joy of music-making will be main activity of the evening. The Kennett High School Concert Choir, at 62 voices strong, will share its renditions of “Baby, It’s Cold Outside,” “Still, Still, Still,” and “A Bit of Holiday Cheer.” Two drumlines will be performing. The first one will play “Little Drummer Boy” arranged by Kennett’s own Therese Davison. The second percussion ensemble will be sharing its own medley arrangement of holiday favorites titled
“Holiday Harmony.” Next, the Tri-M Music Honor Society students will be inducted in front of the entire music community. Then, back to the music. The stage band will rock the house with their seriously jazzy sounds, including The Theme from “New York, New York” with a slide show of holiday scenes from the Big Apple, “No ‘L’ in Swing,” and a foot stompin’ version of the classic “Big Noise from Winnetka.” The Kennett glee choir, Jubilation, will be making its holiday concert debut with its performances of “Jingle Bell Rock” and “Do You Hear What I Hear?” The show will close with the symphonic band. More than 40 members will combine their efforts to fill the auditorium with the magical sound of “Sleigh Ride,” an upbeat rendition of “Hanukkah Begins Tonight,” and the majestic “Hallelujah Chorus.” A $5 suggested donation is requested at the door to help fund music department projects throughout the New Year. For more information, contact Therese Davison or Holly Fougere at 356-4343, ext. 2121.

FRYEBURG, Maine — Following in the footsteps of other hospice choirs around the country (The Threshold Choir in California and The Hallowell Singers in Vermont), a hospice choir is forming in the Mount Washington Valley. The group, Sing Now! began in September 2011 and is still accepting new members. The group is planning weekly rehearsals in January and February of 2012. During the upcoming winter months, the group will develop an eclectic repertoire of songs to be shared around the Mount Washington Valley with people nearing the end of life. While the group will practice as a large ensemble, the music learned will be sung as trios and quartets in the intimate bedside settings to which they may be called. Music has the potential to soothe people on many different levels, and even many people with

Hi! My name is Mocha Mocha is a 6-year-old spayed female Rottweiler who loves to be warm, and would love to find a home where she can lay by the fire, or lounge in front of a wood stove. She has had double ACL surgery and so she would enjoy leisurely walks as opposed to hiking the trails. Mocha is finicky about the company she keeps, so she needs to be the only four legged member of her family, and would prefer a mature Rottie experienced family.

advanced dementia still remember favorite songs or hymns from childhood. Indeed, hearing is thought to be the last of the senses to leave us when we are dying, thus singing can bring comfort and peace to people during their final moments. Sing Now! is being organized by Jo Werther, an experienced music leader and social worker with Solamor Hospice, with locations around the country, and the Rev. Sage Currie, a chaplain with Solamor Hospice and pastor of the Fryeburg New Church. In addition to learning and singing songs, each rehearsal will include some basic education about hospice so that singers will feel prepared for this uniquely tender and powerful way of being with the dying.

Albany Children’s Christmas Party is today
This Saturday, Dec. 10, is the Albany Children’s Christmas Party at the Albany Town Hall. Get there at 9:30 a.m. and have fun. Visitors at Gordon and Bernadine Dubois were Diana and Gary Alford with their children, Hannah, Brett and Emma Grace from Goose Creek, S. C. They came to spend Thanksgiving with the Duboises. Diana is Gordon’s daughter. Bernadine Dubois has a new puppy. She got him on Nov. 7. It is a Shetland puppy and its name is Jaco. 4 Our Kids Recycling Service, which provides garbage removal services for people and businesses in the valley, has donated bin rental and hauling services to Angels and Elves. They hope to increase recycling in the valley. Kennett Eagles will be host to the Ski Jumping State Meet this year in February. A lot of work had been done to bring the ski jump up to the conditions needed for the meet. The ski jump is located in Albany on the Kancamagus. Brush has been cut and there has been removal of growth between the larger and the small jumps. A building has been installed for judges, with lighting and sound systems. There is a nice sign with the Kennett logo and a outline of the state on a thick slab of wood. It is a great improvement. We all should take a look at it. Landon, formerly of LCR Nursery is selling wreaths, kissing balls, roping and candy canes at 18
Wildwood in Albany. I am told that the prices are very good. Leanne Smith placed fifth in downhill training at the Lake Louise World Cup in Alberta Canada.. This is her fifth year on the US Ski Team and has been promoted to the A-team. This weekend at the competition she placed 11th in the downhill and was 35th in Sunday’s Super G. Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” is playing at the Eastern Slope Inn Playhouse. It is an adaptation by Roger Clemons. Roger Clemons works with children’s theater productions. There are students from Kennett High School, Josiah Bartlett Elementary School, John Fuller School, Molly Ockett Middle School, and Pine Tree Elementary. All of the children perform well. It is a must see. The plays are on
Dec. 10 and 11, 16, 17 and 18. Beth and Albert DeMarine have a new son, Eli Raymond, born Oct 14. He has a sister Adeline. Maternal grandparents are Raymond Young of Sanford, Maine, and Barry and Theresa Weyland of Gulfport, Miss. Paternal grandparents are Elaine Demarino of McKeesport, Pa. If you are planning on taking the upcoming trips with the Gibson Center you need to sign up so the tickets can be purchased. Call 356-3231 to reserve a spot. Do not forget the Christmas Tea on Dec. 20 at 2:30 p.m. The cost is $5. The Christmas tree in Conway is beautiful. A lot of homes are decorations up and they are very pretty. Christmas is coming fast and soon we well have snow. I think we well have a white Christmas.
Spread some Christmas-Time Cheer with a Double-Sized Holiday Ad Run your ad in our December 24th Holiday Guide with your holiday greeting and a picture and The Sun will double the size of the ad you purchase. You may use this Holiday Greeting ad throughout the Holiday Season for the same price. This promotion is open to businesses, organizations, families and individuals. Here are some examples: To wish a spouse or a friend a Merry Christmas, The Sun will double the dimensions of a $28. business-card size ad - a $56.00 value. Bigger ads more suitable for businesses and organizations will also be double. So an 1/8th page ad will be turned into a quarter page ad, a quarter page into a half page and so on. Doesn’t matter what the size of the ad, The Sun will double it.

HOME OF THE WEEK
REAL ESTATE CORNER
These six tax breaks could vanish soon BY KARL SEIBEL They say good things come to those who wait. They also say he who hesitates is lost. But when it comes to half a dozen juicy tax breaks, it's the second "they" you should listen to, because he who waits until Jan. 1, 2012, to take advantage of them will be out of luck. Here are six tax deductions and credits that will expire at year's end — unless Congress extends them. 1. Energy-Efficient Home Upgrades. Making energy-saving improvements to your home not only cuts down on heating and cooling costs, it also earns you a tax credit. For example, if you add extra insulation in your attic, replace drafty old windows with modern thermal-pane models, or install an energy-efficient heater or air conditioner, you're eligible for a tax credit of 10 percent of the cost, up to $500. You don't have to attach the manufacturer's certification that the property meets the requirements for the credit to your tax return, but you must maintain records that establish your entitlement. However, if you've claimed this credit for upgrades in past years, you can't do it again: It's a one-time deal. 2. Higher Education Expenses. The abovethe-line deduction of up to $4,000 for qualified higher education expenses won't be available after 2011, so you might want to consider prepaying eligible expenses for 2012 if you haven't already reached the cap for this year. Generally, the deduction applies to tuition and fees paid in connection with enrollment at an institution of higher education during 2011 or the first three months of 2012. The maximum deduction is available to taxpayers with adjusted gross incomes of up to $65,000 for singles and $130,000 for joint filers. A deduction of $2,000 is allowed for singles with adjusted gross incomes of up to $80,000, or joint filers with adjusted gross incomes up to $160,000. 3. Adoption Help. The Adoption Credit and Adoption Assistance Program lets adoptive parents claim a credit against their federal tax of up to $13,360 for "qualified adoption expenses" for each adopted child. If an employer pays the expenses, adoptive parents may be able to exclude up to $13,360 from their gross incomes. Both the credit and the exclusion are reduced (phased out) if parents' income exceeds certain limits, says Gail Rosen, a certified public accountant with Gail Rosen CPA. Though new access to the credit expires when the program ends on Jan. 1, the rules allowed the credit to be carried forward over five years, and Rosen doesn't see anything to would indicate that will change. 4. Sales Tax. If you don't pay state and local income taxes — a common situation for retired public employees or those living in 'no-income-tax' states like Florida — you have had the choice of using the optional sales tax deduction to cut your federal income tax. After 2011, that option goes away. So if you're planning to buy big-ticket items like a new car in the near future, you might want to push them up into 2011 to get those last deductions, says Rosen. 5. Mortgage Insurance Premiums. It's bad enough that home values nationally are down to their 2003 levels. As of 2012, you won't even be able to take the mortgage insurance premium deduction. see SEIBEL page 49

2011 is the last time homeowners with joint adjusted gross incomes of less than $109,000 will be able to deduct the cost of mortgage insurance on a first or second home. 6. Teachers’ Classroom Materials. It's something nearly all educators do these days — buying classroom supplies and paying for them out of their own pockets. For years, K-12 teachers, instructors, counselors, principals or aides who worked in a school for at least 900 hours during a school year could claim an "above the line" deduction for up to $250 of expenses incurred for books, supplies, computer equipment or supplementary materials used in the classroom. Shop now, teachers: Starting next year, that deduction will disappear like kids vanishing from the classroom when the bell rings. MARKET RECAP Lower prices and still-low mortgage rates continue to create traction in the existing-home market. The pending home sales index is the latest in a series of recent data releases that prove that economic laws continue to hold: Lower prices stimulate demand. On that front, lower prices helped lift the index 10.4 percent to post a 93.3 reading in October. The positive takeaway here is that recent gains seem to suggest strong existing home sales for November and December and a positive sales trend heading into 2012. The Federal Reserve made news recently that could impact any discounting of mortgage rates. The Fed, along with the world's major central banks, acted to provide cheap-dollar funding to European banks crippled by the debt crises that plague the Mediterranean European countries. In short, the Fed and its European confreres staved off a possible financial collapse in Europe that could have spread to the United States. Investors responded to the central bankers' unprecedented action by moving out of U.S. Treasury securities and into stocks. The Dow Jones Industrial Average surged 4.2 percent to post its biggest gain since March 2009. Treasury yields also moved higher, with the yield on the 10-year Treasury note, the benchmark investment for 30-year fixed-rate loans, rising to 2.1 percent. Mortgage rates, in turn, moved higher across most financing options. Here's something to keep in mind: Treasury yields and mortgage rates tend to rise with the stock market. If stocks continue to rise, more money will leave fixedincome investments, like Treasury securities, which
MacMillan & Associates
could pressure mortgage rates to go higher. December tends to be a strong month for stocks, which means December could also be a month for rising mortgage rates. A Confluence of Positive Factors The Wall Street Journal recently reported that home affordability is at its highest level in years; this degree of affordability becomes more apparent when compared to rent prices, which continue to rise across the country. Meanwhile, ADP 's National Employment Report showed another month of strong job growth, with the private-sector adding 206,000 new jobs for November. Accelerating job growth usually portends a strong (at least stronger) economy. Accelerating job growth combined with a historically high affordability index suggests to us that this is the near-perfect time to buy or refinance a home, because we doubt that affordability will remain this high at the end of 2012. The fact is that bloated inventory levels are falling, and falling inventory in many markets has spurred bidding wars. As the economy continues to improve, inventory will become less bloated and prices and financing costs will rise. It's always worth remembering that the best time to buy is when enough clouds remain to permeate the market with at least some pessimism, because the best deals are only found when the future is still clouded by uncertainty. When the clouds clear, so will the high affordability index. Today, we have low home prices, low mortgage rates, and more job growth. In our opinion, this is the perfect time to buy or refinance, because continued job growth, a rising stock market, and a growing economy means higher home prices and higher lending rates in the future.

Balsams Hotel sold for $2.3 million

DIXVILLE NOTCH — Balsams View LLC, a partnership of New Hampshire North Country business leaders Daniel Dagesse and Daniel Herbert Jr., has purchased the Balsams Grand Resort and Hotel from the Tillotson Corp. for $2.3 million. Hebert and Dagesse have been interested in preserving the landmark hotel for more than a year, and made a new offer in recent weeks that met Tillotson’s criteria. “We care deeply about restoring the Balsams Grand Resort Hotel to its full glory as a worldclass destination resort and seeing it thrive for decades to come,” said Daniel Hebert. “We want to provide a stable operation that we can all be proud of.” It is anticipated that extensive renovations to the Balsams will take approximately 18 months. Hebert said the first step is to winterize the hotel and decommission the biomass plant. Architects and engineers will then evaluate the property and formulate a renovation plan. Hebert noted the Balsams’ last renovations occurred more than 40 years ago, and much work needs to be done. “The resort is an extremely complex property and we want to take the proper steps to thoroughly assess what needs to be done. Once we determine necessary renovations, we will unveil our vision for the new Balsams Grand Resort,
Badger Realty receives 2011 Best of North Conway Award
which will, once again, become a gem of New Hampshire’s North Country.” Hebert added, “We are committed to preserving the jobs of Balsams employees and the overall economic benefits that the hotel provides the North Country and the state. We recognize closing the hotel over an extended period for renovations will be difficult for employees, but it is absolutely necessary to ensure the resort’s long-term viability.” Hebert said Balsams View is committed to employing numerous North Country contractors and workers on the renovation project. Daniel Hebert operates a privately held general contracting business, Daniel Hebert Inc., which recently completed an addition to the Coos County Nursing Home in West Stewartstown, and previously completed extensive renovations to the Weeks Medical Center in Lancaster. Daniel Dagesse, an entrepreneur, was the owner-operator of automobile dealerships in the Northeast, including Berlin City Dealerships, and later grew a number of successful dealerships in Florida, some of which he later sold. The Balsams Grand Resort Hotel, located in Dixville Notch, has been in operation for more than 150 years, offering guests fine dining, inviting accommodations, a Donald Ross golf course and unlimited recreational access to its nearly 8,000-acre property.
